On the second floor attic of a restaurant by the Qinhuai River, a man and a woman watched the scene of a girl talking to Xu Jingchang.
The woman held a white porcelain cup with an expressionless face. Her beautiful face was as cold as ice that could drive people crazy.
The man looked at the scene downstairs with a smile.
But the fear that flashed across his eyes from time to time proved that he was not as calm as he thought.
The woman's thin lips parted slightly: "It's just a little girl's film, what are you afraid of?"
The man looked back at the woman, frowned and said, "That's her method that you haven't seen before."
"Ah."
In response to the man's sudden change of expression, the woman snorted in disbelief.
A beast-like roar came from the man's throat: "Stupid woman."
The woman's face hardened, but after pondering for a moment she still did not speak to refute.
When the man saw this, he jumped on the table and put the tip of the pen to the woman's face.
"You'd better shut up for me later."
After threatening the woman, the man opened his robe and pushed the woman's head down hard.
"Woo~"
The woman struggled dissatisfiedly, but in vain.
Three minutes later, the woman looked at the man in front of her with resentment, and reluctantly swallowed the smelly liquid in her mouth.
The man tied up his robe with satisfaction: "Let's go and meet those two for a while."
at this time--
Xiaoqing also sent Xu Jingchang away.
Not only did he successfully sell the painting for a high price of 6,000 taels of silver, but he also coaxed Xu Jingchang into a state of elation, promising that he would bring all the distinguished disciples to support him in half a month.
The old bustard was stunned by Xiao Qing's actions.
Can this be done in business?
"I'm back."
Looking at the dazed old madam, Xiao Qing glared at her dissatisfied.
In her opinion, it was simply unnecessary for the young lady to keep this old madam.
If you can't even get rid of a dandy, what's the use of keeping him?
The old bustard was beaten by Xiao Qing, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something bad. His face turned white and his head shrank, and he said with a sad face: "Miss Xiao Qing, I...I..."
"What are you?"
Xiao Qingliu's eyebrows were raised and he was about to get angry.
But Leng Buding smelled a disgusting smell in his nose.
"Pretend to be a ghost."
With a soft drink, Xiaoqing's sleeves instantly swung in one direction.
"Ding ding ding!"
Three inch-long poisonous needles fell in response.
"We haven't seen each other for many years, but Miss Xiaoqing's temper is still so bad."
The dwarf retracted the iron rope in his hand that looked like a claw but not a claw, and looked like a hook but not a hook. He led a stunning woman who was no less beautiful than Xiao Qing out of the shadows with a smile.
"This girl asked who it was. I smelled a disgusting smell three meters away. It turned out to be you, a three-inch penis."
Xiao Qing looked at the visitor with an undisguised look of ridicule on his face.
"snort!"
A trace of shame and anger flashed across the visitor's face, but he didn't show any signs of anger. He just snorted coldly.
But Xiao Qing obviously didn't intend to let him go so easily. Seeing that he didn't answer anything, he turned to look at the woman and said, "Sister, what kind of vision do you have, can you even look at such a three-inch girl? "
"From my sister's point of view, you might as well dump him and get together with my sister. There are many men better than him here, well-dressed, handsome..."
Seeing the girl's extremely aggressive eyes, the woman shook her head: "I understand Sister Xiaoqing's kindness."
"Tsk, can this three-inch penis be three inches long? Do you really not want to think about it anymore?"
The girl clicked her tongue and suddenly moved her gaze to the man's crotch.
"you......"
The man was angry, but any man with a bit of blood, who could withstand such an insult?
He took off the weird weapon from his waist.
"What, you want to play a trick with this girl that makes a man angry and blood splashes five steps away?"
The woman sneered, obviously he didn't think the man had the courage to take action.
"Okay, Xiaoqing, please stop saying a few words."
Suddenly a beautiful woman appeared on the string of the boat, and Xiaoqing and the man stopped in one sentence.
The woman who arrived with the man looked at the beautiful woman on the boat with curiosity.
But just one look made her feel jealous.
It's so beautiful that it's unreal.
She never wanted to believe that there was a woman more beautiful than her in this world.
Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue: "Miss, I'm just telling the truth."
When a man sees a woman, he just bows his hand towards her and that's considered a courtesy.
"Get aboard."
Women's words are always so concise and to the point.
Xiaoqing turned around and glanced at the man with disdain, then turned and stepped onto the stairs.
The man looked at Xiaoqing with disdain as if he didn't hear it, and pulled the woman to get on the boat.
The woman looked away, suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and followed the man onto the boat.
...
...
After half a month of cooking, Chen Kan escorted one million new-style banknotes made by the Baochao Department to the door of a beautiful building in Nancheng.
"I've met the Marquis!"
"No gift."
"Has the bank been built?"
"Tell the brothers to carry the treasure money in."
Zhang Yong, who was in charge of the renovation of the shop, heard Chen Kan's question. Zhang Yong hurriedly whispered: "According to the instructions of the Marquis, all the necessary matters have been prepared. Now we only need to wait for the ribbon cutting tomorrow and the bank can officially start business."
"Well done."
Patting Zhang Yong on the shoulder to show encouragement, Chen Kan followed the team carrying the banknotes into the basement in the backyard of the building.
The basement, as the name suggests, is an underground warehouse. It took three months for craftsmen who were proficient in various mechanisms sent by the Ministry of Industry to build it.
It would definitely be more difficult for ordinary people to get in without knowing the structure of the underground vault than it was for Tang Monk to obtain scriptures.
Just because it uses various mechanism techniques that are only used in the emperor's tomb, such as mercury, hidden arrows, and quicksand are just basic operations.
A circulating air extraction system was built. Once someone enters the basement, people outside can drain the air in the basement in just a few minutes.
Chen Kan followed the old craftsman who built the mechanism into the basement, and saw neatly stacked silver bricks on the shelves in the warehouse.
Under the candlelight, Chen Kan's eyes were almost blinded.
Suppressing the greed in his heart, Chen Kan watched as a group of young eunuchs carried the box containing the treasure notes to another row of shelves.
Although each of these little eunuchs looks harmless, they are actually the eunuchs who protect Zhu Di's safety when he travels on weekdays. Any one of them has the power to fight one against ten. Compared with the imperial guards of the emperor's personal army, Not weak at all.
There are a total of thirteen young eunuchs, divided into two groups, guarding the safety of the entire bank day and night.
In addition, the security level of the bank is slightly lower than that of Chen Kan's Hou Mansion.
Three hundred households from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrol around the bank day and night. If there is any slightest sign of trouble, these three hundred households will turn into gods of murder.
After leaving the warehouse and coming to the counter, a group of blond and blue-eyed aliens caught Chen Kan's attention.
"Master Marquis, according to your instructions, this is a gifted person who was poached from the private banks with a high salary."
Chen Kan nodded. The Yicile people were a foreign race who came to settle in the Central Plains during the pre-Tang Dynasty. After so many years, except for their skin color, the customs and habits of these Yicile people have long been no different from those of the Han people.
Moreover, they have a deep understanding of the economy.
Eighty percent of the banks in the Ming Dynasty would hire Yishile people to serve as accountants and the like.
Chen Kan knew that these people would be called Jews in later generations.
Of course, people prefer to call them by another name: "capitalists."
Chen Kan thought for a while and decided not to go up and say hello.
Save yourself the trouble of killing later.
Chen Kan has a bad habit. As long as he is familiar with people, he is always unwilling to hurt them.
"Now that everything is ready, let's make a decision. We will open tomorrow. Remember what I told you."
Chen Kan gave the order, and Zhang Yong hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I have the official watching personally, there won't be anything wrong."
Chen Kan didn't think anything would go wrong.
Therefore, he planned to go home and continue to sell food as salted fish.
When things have reached this point, all the preparations that need to be done have been made, and all the plans that need to be made have been made.
According to the reserve ratio of 8%, Chen Kan originally planned to issue 11.25 million banknotes, but Zhu Di was too timid.
After thinking about it, Chen Kan decided to issue five million coins temporarily.
Five million banknotes is enough to replace the treasure banknotes on the market in the capital.
Humming a little tune, he returned to the Hou Mansion where he had not been back for several months. After briefly washing up, Chen Kan fell into sleep.
But according to the development of the plot, when the protagonist does something particularly smoothly, it means trouble is coming.
At midnight, the rest of the capital fell into silence.
Only the singing and dancing on the Qinhuai River are rising, and it looks like a scene of a prosperous era.
Without him, facing the oiran convention that is coming tomorrow, a group of libertines would not be able to sleep at all.
The Oiran Convention is no longer a new activity on the Qinhuai River.
Each of these young masters in the capital has experienced it more or less several times.
It is nothing more than that each flower house selects a beautiful girl to harvest their leeks and lets them spend money to choose. The one with the highest net worth is the oiran.
But only this oiran event made a group of stupid and rich young men look forward to it.
Without him, there is no one on the Qinhuai River who doesn't know the name of Tang Xian, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl, and who doesn't want to kiss Fangze.
Compared with Tang Xian, all the oirans pushed out by the Qinhuai River in previous years should have been dragged and drowned.
Therefore, a group of young men simply reserved the Qinhuai River tonight in order to get the first opportunity to get closer to the water.
This resulted in a mixed bag of fish and dragons on the Qinhuai River.
Many girls even made a lot of money overnight.
Those young ladies who knew that there was no hope of running for the Oiran election took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
But what they didn't know was that just as they were immersed in the gentle countryside, a group of people wearing night clothes suddenly appeared on the Qinhuai River.
While all the girls and libertines in the Qinhuai River fell into the gentle land, they disappeared into the darkness.
