Chapter 0039 - Money-making Magic Trick
"Obediently, get rich!" Out of the sight of the family, Shui Guitang opened the red paper bag, and it was fifty taels of silver.
"This little money makes you rich?"
Ling Yun shook his head disappreciatively and said, "Last time, I earned more than 100,000 taels with one handful. β
"What? more than 100,000 taels? Obediently, it can't be piled up into a hill?"
The water returns to the pond and smacks the tongue. After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of my son and brother laughing." I've never touched silver when I've grown so big. They all use copper coins, and this is the first time they have touched silver. Obediently, it's still a big piece of silver! Why do you use a big piece of silver? It can't be a fake mile, right?"
"Then you can touch it. β
Ling Yun smiled bitterly in frustration: "I finally remembered a father-in-law, and when he came over, he fooled fifty taels of silver. Who are you looking for to help me see my grandfather?"
"Brother, think about it, your grandfather has been the leader of the army for so many years, and his unparalleled martial arts in the world will never give you such a father-in-law."
"Then you can get a hundred and eighty zhangs?" Ling Yun interrupted the water and returned to the pond, smiling bitterly.
"Hehe, a poor man is a poor man. β
Shui Guitang laughed at himself: "Fifty taels of silver, it will make me upside down." I'm saying that your grandfather must still have a lot of old knowledge in Beijing. When the brother thought about it, he remembered. β
Ling Yun said with a sad face: "Didn't I tell you, I have been seeking medical advice and medicine, and I rarely ask about the affairs of the house." If you want to say that my grandfather knows people, I should know them all. As long as I shout at the top of my voice, I will report to my home. I'm afraid that in the entire capital, there are no officials I don't know. But the question is, which one is reliable, which one will help me, and which one is willing to help me, I don't know anything!"
"Brother, don't worry. The living will not be suffocated by urine, there will be a way. Shui Guitang comforted him hollowly, and then handed the silver to Ling Yun: "Brother, you take this silver." β
Ling Yun waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "This son removes knives, guns, pens and ink, and never touches the smell of copper." It's better for my brother to take it. β
"No, the big silver is in my arms, and I can't sleep peacefully. Shui Guitang shook his head again and again.
Ling Yun's expression moved, and he said with a smile: "In that case, let's use it! β
"Why can you use so much silver? to buy a gift for your father-in-law?" Shui Guitang opened his mouth.
Ling Yun shook his head and said, "No." Buy a few good clothes for Ah Xiu, the eldest mother and you, and buy some delicious food for the eldest mother. β
"No!" Shui Guitang flatly refused: "Brother is in danger now, and there are many miles to use the money." Don't you dare to spend your money like this!"
"Money is a bastard, and you can earn it again when you spend it! Money is a cheap seed, and the more you spend it, the more you spill it. β
Ling Yun said seriously: "Brother Shui, brother taught you a practical truth, the money of the really rich is not earned, nor is it accumulated, it is spent. β
"Hu Spray, Hu Spray, Spray Spray, Blind Spray!" Shui Guitang shook his head again and again.
"It's not for this kind of friendship between our brothers, I don't want to tell my brother!"
Lingyun became more and more strict. It's just that the stricter he is, the more he gives people the feeling of a smiling tiger and a little fox.
Because, Ling Yun was born with a smiling appearance, no matter how strict and sad he was, even if he cried, he was still a hippie smile.
Looking at Ling Yun's "hypocritical and strict sΓΉ", the head of the water returned to the pond and shook even more. Muttered: "Brother, stop spewing nonsense. My mother and the old people often say that it is difficult to eat, it is difficult to make money!
Ling Yun couldn't laugh or cry. It was decided to give Shuigui a lesson in how to make money.
He smiled disapprethoughtly: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing! Brother Shui, I will let you see today how money is spent more and more!"
"Medium, I see how this trick of my brother has changed?" said Shui Guitang perfunctorily.
While talking, the two came to the Fang City area. The bustling atmosphere of commerce and trade is coming. The hustle and bustle of selling came and went.
It is often said that there are three hundred and sixty lines in the world. But the people of Zhongzhou don't say that, they say that there are 480 lines in Zhongzhou. One hundred and twenty more than all the places.
Ginger shop, yarn shop, cattle shop, horse shop, fruit shop, fish shop, rice shop, meat shop, pig shop, large goods store, small goods store, cloth shop, Di shop, stacking yard, restaurant, restaurant, tea shop, hotel, inn, gourd soup shop, steamed bread shop, noodle shop, pancake shop, tile, brothel, sundries shop, medicine shop, gold and silver shop, color silk shop, dyeing shop, bead shop, incense medicine shop, boot shop and other 360 lines of legitimate trades, not to mention, only other characteristic trades.
For example, if you have a horse, there are two people who cut the grass every day, if you have a dog, someone will provide the dregs, and if you have a cat, there will be a special person to feed the cat and small fish.
In addition, there are special craftsmen who nail dumplings, hoop buckets, trimming movements, holding shoes, brushing belts, repairing heads and hats, and mending horn crowns.
There are also those who make incense and seal on the day, and they will set the auxiliary seats, and the Buddha statues will be printed in the season.
Other people who fetch water for others have their own places and alleys. There are also lacquer, hairpin rings, lotus axes to chop firewood, change fan handles, incense cakes, charcoal balls, and in the summer moon, there are people who wash felt and dig wells, which can be seen everywhere.
Then there are military camps that are stopped, musicians are happy to be idle, children and women are invited to watch in the alleys, and there are people who scatter candy, which is called "selling plums" and "putting the street".
There are also various vendors who walk through the streets and alleys to sell mutton, head belly, kidneys, white sausages, quails, rabbits, fish and shrimp, dehaired chickens and ducks, clams, crabs, miscellaneous herbs, incense, and fruits.
There are also gambling and selling crowns, combing collars, and wearing clothes on the head and face. There are also craftsmen who repair copper and iron tools, wardrobes, and magnets......
The list goes on and on. Let's reveal a corner for the time being, so that the officials can appreciate the prosperity of Zhongzhou.
Ling Yun pointed to the shop next to him as he walked, and asked Shui Guitang: "Brother, how many rich families do businessmen like them have?"
"The rich family" Shui Guitang rolled his eyes and muttered: "The rich can't talk about it." It's mostly a well-off home. β
"What did my brother do after he found out that they were making money?" Ling Yun asked with a smile.
"Save up, buy a house and buy land. Shui Guitang replied, "Or expand your business." β
"How many generations do they have to save to become super-rich?" Ling Yun asked sternly.
"Difficult!" Shui Guitang shook his head: "The so-called rich is no more than three generations." Most people, within two generations, will lose. β
Ling Yun smiled, "Brother has heard of the peerless merchants of the Middle-earth Continent, Tao Zhugong and Lu Buwei?"
Shui Guitang shook his head. Ling Yun said with a smile: "Tao Zhugong is from the late Spring and Autumn Period. Formerly known as Fan Li. Fan Li first helped Goujian, the king of Yue, and destroyed his great enemy, Wu Guo. After the incident, he was afraid that King Goujian of Yue would unload the mill and kill the donkey and kill him. took the stunning beauty Xi Shi and fled. Changed his name to Tao Zhugong and began to make money in business. According to the "Historical Records", it is recorded that Tao Zhugong 'accumulated 19 years of three gold, and accumulated huge wealth'. It is said that Tao Zhu Gong can be called the richest businessman since the beginning of time.
Let's talk about LΓΌ Buwei. He was a great merchant in Yangzhai during the Warring States period. Shi Zai: He 'sold cheap and expensive goods back and forth, and his family accumulated a lot of money'. But this is not the most proud big deal for him. The most proud big deal in his life was to get acquainted with the exiled son of the Qin State, Win Yiren, and funded his return to China to ascend the throne. Later, LΓΌ Buwei became the prime minister of Qin. It is said that even Qin Shi Huang, who unified Middle-earth, is the illegitimate son of his 'dropped bag'!"
"Obediently, why are these two grandsons so powerful?!" Shui Guitang exclaimed: "One is not an official, but he can be rich, and the other is rich, and he can still be the prime minister." Why is God optimistic about them?"
"It's not that God is optimistic about them, it's that they will spend money!" Ling Yun said loudly.
"No, it's not a spray, is it?"
Ling Yun said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, hearing is false, seeing is believing." My brother handed me the fifty taels of silver, and when I spent all the fifty taels of silver, my brother knew if it was sprayed. β
"Brother, this is a sum of money that a poor family can't earn for ten years," Shui Guitang muttered as he covered the silver in his arms.
"Hehe, that's why most people can't get rich!"
Ling Yun said with a smile: "Brother, as the saying goes, if you can't give up your child, you can't trap a wolf, and if you can't give up your mother-in-law, you can't catch a pervert." If you are willing to give up, you will get if you are willing to give up. If we are reluctant to give up these fifty taels of silver, and if we save them, we will have to spend them all sooner or later, right? But if we give up these fifty taels of silver, maybe tomorrow we will become one hundred taels, five hundred taels, one thousand taels, ten thousand taels, and countless taels. β
"What if we lose money?" Shui Guitang frowned and hesitated.
"Then if we have never had one, we won't get the fifty taels of silver. β
Ling Yun was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother, didn't we brothers have these fifty taels of silver before we went out? Then again, with this kind of brother, you will definitely not be able to lose your capital! Don't forget that my brother has earned more than 100,000 yuan. β
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I heard you say that. Who knows if it's a spray. β
Shui Guitang muttered, suddenly, his face turned red, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and made up his mind: "Get out." Listening to my brother, if you lose money, you will think of it as a dream. β
Shui Guitang's hands trembled, and he solemnly handed over the first astronomical amount he had seen in his life to Ling Yun.
