Is there any business more profitable than mortgage lending?
No.
Mining may not be able to keep up.
Of course, those who inherit an empire or a large family at birth are not included in this list.
That is a matter of reincarnation, not a matter of profession.
Liu Heng didn't understand the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words, so he frowned and said, "Is there any other way in the pawn shop?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I will tell you in detail later. I will write a handwritten note to you later. After you leave the palace, go directly to Erbao and ask him to go to the accountant of Kou Mansion and withdraw my money.
Take this money, plus the money in your hand, and go find those people related to the Taoists to see if they need money urgently.
If you have it, lend it to them, but it must be mortgaged with land or real estate.
For now, use the pawn shop's rules.
Remember, only shops, fields, and real estate will be accepted, and the minimum term must not be less than one month."
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "Fourth brother, are you going to loan usury?"
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Liu Heng frowned and said, "Most of the people who make loan sharks in Bianjing City are people from several princes' palaces. I'm afraid it won't be good for us to compete with the princes for business, right?"
Just when Kou Jijian was about to speak, Liu Heng said again: "Moreover, even if we want to lend loan money, we can't follow the rules of the pawn shop. According to the rules of the pawn shop, the payment is small and the interest is small. We can't take much advantage.
, others may not be willing to accept it.”
Kou Ji smiled and said: "We give less, but our time is flexible. The most important thing is that we don't have compound interest. What's more, we open the door to do business far better than those who put loan money behind the scenes."
Be convincing.
We can issue pawn tickets and sign deeds in an honest and aboveboard manner, but those who make loan sharks dare?
Of course, rules are dead but people are alive.
If someone insists on borrowing more money, you can lend it to them.
However, interest rates will definitely rise.
Of course, that's all a matter for the future.
What you have to do now is to go out and find those people related to the Taoists to see who is in urgent need of money.
Then lend money to them, as long as they are willing to mortgage their shops, fields, and real estate.
Even if you don't need interest, you can just lend it to them for free.
But the amount lent must be as low as possible, and the term must be one month.”
"Borrowing for free?"
Liu Heng was a little stunned, "Then what do we earn?"
Kou Ji said seriously: "Believe me, you will definitely make a lot of money. I can't tell you the specific reason yet."
Liu Heng gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "I listen to you."
Although he didn't understand Kou Ji's intention of doing this, he believed that Kou Ji would not make a loss-making business.
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction.
After confiding this matter, Kou Ji walked into the courtyard and played Cuju with Cao Yi and others.
After playing for half an hour, I still couldn't wait for Xiang Minzhong to start classes again.
Liu Heng ran to Wende upstairs to take a look and found that Xiang Minzhong had left.
After Kou Ji knew this, he was stunned.
Xiang Minzhong's actions confirmed his suspicion.
Someone in the Xiang family was indeed involved.
But the involvement is definitely not deep, and it may have nothing to do with the poisonous elixir.
Otherwise, Kou Zhun and Li Di would not let Xiang Minzhong find him.
Except for Xiang Minzhong's class, there are no other classes today.
Kou Ji took everyone to play for a while longer.
Noon.
Liu Heng and his party were escorted out of the palace by the eunuchs.
Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Yiyi to the palace where he dined, and ate the leftovers.
On the dinner table.
Zhao Yiyi kept looking at Kou Ji secretly, making Kou Ji feel uncomfortable all over.
"Give me this bowl of soup to Kou Shidu..."
"Give me this bear's paw to Kou Shidu..."
"..."
Zhao Yiyi gave Kou Ji some hard dishes placed in front of him.
Then she stared at him with burning eyes.
Kou Ji saw two words from Zhao Yiyi's eyes.
'Brother Kou, am I good to you?'
"Brother Kou, I will share whatever delicious food I have with you. Are you..."
Seeing this, Kou Ji suddenly stood up and said haha, "Um... I'm full..."
After finishing speaking, decisively get out of the way.
Zhao Yiyi was left alone, sitting there pitifully.
Time passed and it was night.
Zhao Yiyi became even more enthusiastic.
He pulled Kou Ji to admire the rare treasures he had acquired over the years, and generously told Kou Ji that he could reward Kou Ji with whatever he liked.
Kou Ji knew very well what his intention was.
Kou Ji looked at those rare treasures with great envy, but he didn't say a word of agreement.
The commotion lasted until late at night. After Chen Lin reminded him, Zhao benefited and fell asleep unhappy.
Kou Ji lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.
Chen Lin didn't know when she walked to Kou Ji's bed and said quietly: "It hurts to look at you?"
Kou Ji sighed: "A bit..."
Chen Lin sighed: "That's not acceptable. If the prince eats food outside the palace and something goes wrong, neither you nor I can afford it."
Kou Ji said irritably: "Even if he can't eat food outside the palace, you can help him heat up the cold food. How can he eat the cold meat with frozen oil on it?
I’m afraid you don’t know how to eat it, right?”
Chen Lin sighed and murmured: "Some poisons can be attached to the dishes and chopsticks, and they will become highly toxic when exposed to heat..."
Kou Ji sat up suddenly and said in shock: "Is there still this thing?"
Chen Lin glanced at him and said calmly: "When realgar is heated, it can turn into a poison comparable to arsenic..."
"How do you know this? Have you been killed?"
"Our family has never been harmed by anyone, but we have harmed many people. Our family guarded the Dongmen Medicine Depot, and the drug that poisoned Meng Chang and Li Yu came from the Dongmen Medicine Depot..."
Kou Ji was shocked and said: "Is that a medicine warehouse? That is clearly a poison warehouse!"
Chen Lin did not refute, but nodded and said: "You can think so..."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "How can I say that you can make poison, and you are also a master?"
Chen Lin said calmly: "Our family knows one thousand, two hundred and thirty-six kinds of poisons that can kill you..."
Kou Ji's face stiffened and he said dryly: "I haven't offended you. I can't. I can't."
Chen Lin said calmly: "We just talk about it casually..."
Kou Ji let out a long breath and said, "I thought you were going to kill someone after hearing the secrets in the palace."
Chen Lin sneered: "What kind of secret is this? Anyone who has been an official in the court for many years knows the existence of the Dongmen Medicine Depot."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "Then I'm relieved... By the way, you know so many poisons, is there any poison that can kill people without being discovered?"
Chen Lin was stunned and asked curiously: "Who do you want to poison to death?"
Kou Ji clicked his lips, "I want to get two kilograms and give Guo Huai a taste."
When Chen Lin heard this, she snorted coldly and cursed: "You and Guo Huai are the same as each other, both are villains."
"The poison our family knows will never appear in the palace!"
After leaving these words, Chen Lin disappeared in front of Kou Ji's bed.
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "No! Let's discuss it together..."
Chen Lin's cold voice came, "Shut up for us. If you disturb the prince's dream, we will poison you first."
