Views:

June 16, Yin Shi [three in the morning] just passed.

In a flower hall in the inner courtyard of the Beijing Palace, Shui Rong rarely lay alone on a soft couch. Although she closed her eyes, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep soundly.

Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps came into Shui Rong's ears. He sat up straight and asked in a loud voice, "Why, but it has already been counted?!"

The visitor was still cautious, lest it disturb him, but when he heard Shui Rong's question, he hurried to the front, and said cheerfully, "Congratulations, Your Highness, the more than 20,000 gold coins that Mr. Liu intercepted yesterday. Berry, 17% of them are middle grades, and there are as many as a dozen top grades!"

Shui Rong was overjoyed when she heard the words, and didn't care about her disheveled clothes, she turned over and got out of bed, and rushed to the person to bow and salute: "This is also thanks to my brother-in-law's advice, otherwise this king would not know that there is such a thing in the world. A means of accumulating money!"

The person on the opposite side of the relationship is not the other one, it is Wei Rusong who was once interrupted by Sun Shaozu's two posterior molars.

Seeing the politeness of the father-in-law and brother-in-law, Wei Rusong hurriedly stepped aside, waved his hand and said modestly, "I wouldn't dare to take credit for this, if it weren't for the steward Liu from the palace, thinking of going outside the city to intercept the merchants who trafficked Tao Zhu Jinbei, let's think about it. How easy is it to get a piece of the pie from King Zhongshun?"

However, it turned out that when he learned about Tao Zhu Jinbei from his younger brother Wei Ruolan, Wei Rusong began to think of making a fortune. However, when he sent someone to do market research, he accidentally discovered that the Zhongshun Palace was Sun Shaozong's speculation. behind the scenes.

At that time, Wei Rusong was in a dilemma.

King Zhongshun's cheapness is not easy to get in, if it's a small fight, it's all right. If you accidentally cross the border and offend King Zhongshun, wouldn't it be a joy to be sad

But since King Zhongshun was behind it, wouldn't it prove that Tao Zhu Jinbei was profitable

It's so easy to catch up with a God-given opportunity, why don't you just miss it

After hesitating again and again, Wei Rusong finally found his brother-in-law Beijing Wang Shuirong on the head - others were afraid of offending King Zhongshun, but Shuirong with the eldest princess as his backer is not afraid!

as predicted.

Shui Rong, who accidentally hurt her vitality because she followed the trend to repair the garden last year, heard that there was an opportunity to fill the gap, so she did it without hesitation.

It's just that the golden shells on the market have already been swept away by the King Zhongshun's mansion, and the thousands of baits scattered outside are just a drop in the bucket. What about the soup

The two were very troubled by this for a few days.

Fortunately, a steward named Liu in the palace quickly thought of a solution.

Although the more than 100,000 pieces of Tao Zhu Jinbei that were originally transported were all collected by King Zhongshun at the price of cabbage, the news is not smooth, and there must be some late merchants who are on their way back to the capital.

As long as you set up a card on the official road that must be passed outside the city, and buy the gold shell that will be shipped later in advance, won't you be able to make a fortune with King Zhongshun

In this way, Beijing Wangfu has collected more than 60,000 gold shells one after another. In addition to the more than 20,000 gold shells that were just obtained yesterday, it has quietly approached the 90,000 mark - and because it was half-buying and half-robbing, the acquisition of these The average price of gold shells is only five coins per piece.

But now, after the joint efforts of the two palaces to hype, the middle-grade Tao Zhu Jinbei has risen to fourteen taels of silver, and the low-grade ones cost about one, two or three coins.

That is to say, in just one month, the palace has only paid tens of thousands of taels of money [nearly half of it is used for speculation], and at the market price, it has already earned more than 200,000 taels of white money!

What's more, this is only at the moment, with the current momentum of Tao Zhu Jinbei's daily increase, by the end of the month, it may have risen to twenty-five taels, or even higher!

Thinking of the beautiful money scene in the future, Shui Rong only paced back and forth with joy, but after a while, he couldn't help worrying about gains and losses, and hesitantly said: "Brother-in-law, we have accumulated gold shells in our hands, plus Uncle Wang's collection There are almost 200,000 of the ones from the coin - although there is a priceless market in the city at the moment, but once the two of us start releasing goods, will they…”

Wei Rusong laughed and said indifferently: "My lord is afraid that he is overthinking it, now almost everyone in the city values this thing, and hundreds of thousands of people are competing to buy it, 200,000 gold shells are afraid It's not enough."

"Furthermore, King Zhongshun has a lot more gold shells than we do. With his love of money, can he watch the price of gold shells plummet? We just need to keep an eye on King Zhongshun's mansion and talk to him. Advance and retreat at the same time, this transaction is designated as a steady profit and no loss!"

Hearing this reasonable relief, Shui Rong's heart suddenly calmed down, and then she couldn't wait to order: "Then send someone to spread the news outside, and strive to carry the middle-grade Jinbei to 30 by the end of the month. Two taels of silver for one piece, and the lower-tier ones should be carried to more than two taels of silver!"

"Order!"

Wei Rusong responded in a dignified manner, and added: "Actually, in the evening, I had already sent someone to bribe a beggar, and I asked him to go to Xianke tomorrow to brag about it."

"It is estimated that it will not be long before beggars pick up Tao Zhu Jinbei and become rich overnight. Not only do they buy a mansion woman, but they even buy the news of the identity of the guarantor, and it will be known all over the city. At that time, Tao Zhu Jinbei will naturally become It's going to go up a lot!"

After speaking, he sneered again: "Speaking of which, this beggar is still the archway set up by the second grandson of Sun, but I want to see how his Lao Shizi's beggar Baojia system continues to be implemented after the news spreads. !"

"This… "

At first, Shui Rong nodded, but when she heard the back, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother-in-law, Ruolan has suffered from Sun Shaozong's hands three times before, I think this person is really a powerful character, and now we are in a good situation. , why do you bother to provoke him? In case something goes wrong..."

"Your Highness is worrying too much."

Wei Rusong shook his head and said disdainfully: "Then the second son of the Sun usually pretends to be a strong commander, but in fact, he is not a dog raised by King Zhongshun? Even if he dares to cause trouble for us, how can he dare to rebel against King Zhongshun? your mind?"

When Shui Rong heard this, he also felt that this was reasonable.

After all, a few days ago, Sun Shaozong was still sending people to investigate the matter of Tao Zhu Jinbei, but then he suddenly died down. According to common sense, it was obvious that he was afraid of the power of the two palaces.

Therefore, he didn't take it seriously, stretched out a lot, and yawned: "Since everything is in the hands of my brother, this king will go and be lazy and make up for sleep."

Wei Rusong bowed slightly and said confidently, "Your Highness may go to the backyard to rest, it is estimated that when you wake up, the middle grade Jinbei will have crossed the threshold of fifteen taels!"
