Chapter 69: The Second Entrepreneurship Fulfills My Great Aspirations
Qian Laoben said: "My subordinates think so too, but there are a lot of people from the Mu family here this time. Now that they have lost the little princess, they will probably think of us too. There is no guarantee that they will not find where our brothers stay. You
Should we send it to Lord Xiang's house or to the palace?" When I heard this, my scalp felt a little numb, and I thought that if I send you home now, Xiaolian will have to fight for my life. If the little princess has been captured by me,
Xiaolian can still accept the subjugation, but now we have kidnapped someone else's girl. Doesn't this ruin my status in Xiaolian's mind? The problem is to send me to the palace. It is getting late at this time, and I am afraid that the palace door has already been closed.
, although I am the deputy chief of the imperial guard, I cannot justify bringing a big girl into the palace.
Immediately he asked: "Where is the little princess now?" Qian Laoben said: "The acupuncture points were tapped and hidden in a house on the outskirts of the city. I'm afraid that at this time tomorrow, people from Prince Mu's Mansion will find her there." I was delighted.
, said: "That's easy to handle. I'll hide there for the night and take her into the palace with me tomorrow morning." Qian Laoben said: "Yes, but I don't know how to bring her into the palace? I have one of my subordinates.
As a plan, my subordinate took over the task of delivering meat to the palace. Tomorrow, I can kill a big pig and take out the internal organs, and then..." I didn't let him continue, and waved my hand: "Pull her down, you want to stuff her into the pig's belly.
Inside, it stinks to death. You can put her in a box early tomorrow morning and carry her to wait outside my house." When Qian Laoben saw that I had revealed the truth in one word, he thought it was a very good plan, and he couldn't help but admire it.
, said: "Yes, my subordinate is stupid, but the incense master's idea is better."
I asked again: "Why did you take the job of delivering meat to the palace? Can you make money?" Qian Laoben said with a smile: "We, brothers in the club, opened some little secrets in order to cover up the public's eyes and to find out information from many sources.
I don't have much other skills, but I have some experience in doing business. Therefore, our original incense owner asked me to take charge of several small shops in the guild. The capital is small, but there is no profit, so I asked the palace
There are some benefits to delivery." I was overjoyed and couldn't help but say: "Great, you are good at business, I have something to discuss with you." Qian Laoben asked curiously: "I wonder what the Lord of Xiang has to say?" I laughed.
He said: "Go get a carriage and go back to my house. Let's talk slowly on the way."
After returning to the mansion, I sat in the hall with Qian Laoben and asked the servants to serve food and wine. I also ordered people to invite Zhang Debiao and Li Yapeng. Before they arrived, I stepped back and said:
"Brother Qian, if you know how to do business, there is nothing better. Our Tiandihui, although we shout slogans to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, our ultimate goal is to make the brothers in the club and the people all over the world live a better life."
Life, are you right?" Qian Laoben said: "That's right, many of the brothers in our guild have a hard-earned background. If it wasn't for a living, who would be willing to live this life of licking blood with the tip of a knife."
I saw him on the road, and I liked it even more, and said: "Yes, and besides, we are rebels. We must have soldiers, recruit them, pay them, buy weapons, and make military uniforms. None of this costs money. We
Although there are so many people in the guild, and everyone is a good fighter when it comes to fighting, can you make money just by fighting? Facing the thousands of troops of the Qing Dynasty, what effect can your thousands of heroes have? So.
I say, those who can make money are the talents our Qingmudang needs most at the moment."
Qian Laoben's eyes lit up after hearing these words, and he said happily: "The incense master has unique insights and far-reaching vision. Our Qingmu Hall will really prosper if we have the incense master in charge." I chuckled and said: "Don't say goodbye first.
If you are busy complimenting me, I will now shoulder the burden for you. If you do well, I will recommend you to be the deputy incense master. Even if our Tiandi Society does not have the position of deputy incense master, I will go to the master to get one for you.
.”
Qian Laoben immediately stood up and said: "Thanks to the Lord Xiang's trust, if I, Qian Laoben, failed in the errand you asked me to do, I will give you the head on my neck." As he said this, he made a beheading gesture. I laughed.
Then he asked him to sit down and said: "It would be great if you are willing to work hard. That's it. I intend to invest in some business and I plan to leave it to you." Mr. Qian may have guessed that I asked him to do it.
What I was doing was related to business, but I didn't expect that I would just still be in charge of some shops. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although I didn't say it on my lips, it showed on my face.
I saw what was on his mind, laughed, and said, "Do you think the job given to you is too small?" Mr. Qian said, "I don't dare. I guess that the Xiang Master may want to test his subordinates first."
I will entrust you with important tasks based on your ability to do things." I laughed and said, "You, the money boss, just like to be clever. Let me ask you, have you ever been to the restaurant I opened?" Qian boss said: "
I've seen it from the outside and it's very impressive. I heard that the food inside is extremely expensive, so I didn't dare to go in." I said, "You're right, the food inside is really expensive. Did you know that this restaurant has been open for a month and has made a lot of money?
How much money did you get?" Mr. Qian said, "There are a lot of customers in Xiangzhu's shop every day. I thought I could make ten thousand taels of silver anyway." I cursed, "Bah, the business of ten thousand taels is not good.
Is your incense owner willing to make it? Let me tell you, it’s six hundred thousand taels.” I was afraid of scaring him too much, so I cut the price in half.
Qian Laoben was originally pedaling on the chair support. When he heard what I said about six hundred thousand taels, his feet slipped and he fell to the side. Even with all his efforts, he almost fell over and sat down hurriedly.
I straightened my body, grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, and exclaimed: "Six hundred thousand taels!! Darling, that's ten years of tax payment from a county in our hometown." I laughed and said, "Don't compare it to your remote hometown.
Tell me, is this a trivial matter?" Qian Laoben said hurriedly: "It's not small, it's enough to support an army of hundreds of thousands. Master Xiang, do you mean to leave the restaurant to me?" Look at what he said
With an excited look on my face, I cursed: "The restaurant business is already going very smoothly. What more do you want to do? I want you to reopen a few businesses."
Qian Laoben now gained confidence and said, "You tell me what kind of business you want to do. I will definitely be able to do it well." I nodded and said, "The emperor rewarded me with a garden. I want to change it into a garden that can be used."
A place where people come in and spend a lot of money." Qian Laoben looked around and said, "If this house is turned into a business, where will you live?" I smiled and said, "It's not this, it belongs to Lord Suk Saha.
Mansion." Mr. Qian was overjoyed and said, "I know that courtyard. It's very big. I wonder what the incense owner plans to do in it?" I pondered for a moment and said, "It should have everything you need, and you can provide guests with fine wine and delicacies.
, a beautiful woman, we can also let guests gamble money there, and if possible, we can also build a hot spring. Anyway, as long as the guests can think of it, we have it. Once people enter, they will not want to come out and stay there for a year and a half.
I have to leave all the money I have with me before I leave. I have already thought of the name of this courtyard, it is called Heaven and Earth."
Qian Laoben sighed: "My dear, how much silver do you need to throw in there?" I smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the silver, I will take care of it all. That's not all. You mentioned sending pigs to the palace today.
Reminds me of something. I am in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs now. I can take over all the procurement matters in the palace. You can set up a trading house. In the future, we will provide all the materials, cloth, medicinal materials, etc. needed by the palace.
, Then we can make endless money." Qian Laoben smiled and said: "The money in the palace is very easy to make, as long as you pay enough to the eunuchs in charge, you can pay whatever we ask." I said with a smile: "I won't need it in the future.
If you give them money, I will give them benefits."
Qian Laoben thought for a while and said: "Master Xiang, I'm afraid we still need some manpower to open the yard. In addition, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable woman for a while." I said with a smile:
"If you don't have enough manpower for your business, just pick from our hall and find some talented people among them and put them to good use. Better than women, haha, you don't need to worry about it, I will take care of it. These two businesses, you
We need to hurry up and work hard on other aspects when the business picks up."
Qian Laoben asked: "Besides these two things, what else should we do?" I said: "Our business cannot be limited to these two kinds. You also have to wait for the opportunity and open a bank, pawn shop, drug shop, antiques, silk shop, etc."
Wait, in short, whatever you do to make money, you don’t have to consider the cost." Qian Laoben was already very ambitious at this time and said: "Master Xiang, I understand, don't worry, with your support, if I can do this
If you don’t do it well, you won’t be able to face others.”
Just as I was talking about this, Zhang Debiao and Li Yapeng arrived and followed the servants in. I asked them to sit down and introduced them to each other. When I mentioned Qian Laoben, I only said that he was mine.
My friend is also taking care of other business for me. Seeing my introduction like this, Mr. Qian naturally understood and stopped calling me Xiangzhu. He followed Li Yapeng and called me master.
I asked Zhang Debiao to hand over the maidservants that the brothers had recently rewarded to Qian Laoben, and his brothers could be summoned by Qian Laoben at any time. Zhang Debiao agreed happily. I also asked Li Yapeng to hand over the restaurant to Li Yapeng.
The imperial chef and experienced waiters in the house gave some money to Mr. Qian, and Li Yapeng also agreed. After talking about the important matter, I drank with them for a while, sent Zhang Debiao and Li Yapeng away, and returned to the inner house.
, took out the drawings of Suksaha Mansion, and asked Xiaolian to take out 400,000 taels of silver, and handed them over to Qian Laoben. Qian Laoben left happily holding the huge sum of money.
I'm a little worried. If this old boy slips away with this money, what will happen? It's a small matter if he loses the money, but where can he find such a smart and capable talent?
Early the next morning, I ordered the sedan bearers to prepare the sedan and went out to the palace. Not far outside the palace, I saw Qian Laoben through the curtain of the sedan, with two men behind him, carrying a large camphor box.
Waiting from a distance, I couldn't help but feel happy, and thought to myself: I really didn't see the wrong person this time.

Qian Laoben cried: "I, Qian Laowu, have never seen so many bills in my entire life. All the folks came to my house to have a drink!"
