Qian Laoben said: "This subordinate also thinks the same, but there are quite a few people from the Mu family who have come this time. Now that they have lost the little princess, they may think of us. It is hard for them to find the place where our brothers are staying. You Do you want to send it to Xiangzhu's mansion, or to the palace?" When I heard this, my scalp felt a little numb, and I thought that Xiaolian would have to fight with me if I sent her home now, if the little princess had already been killed by me Xiao Lian is still acceptable to subdue her, but now we are kidnapping someone else's girl, wouldn't this ruin my position in Xiao Lian's heart.The problem is to send it to the palace, it is already late at this time, I am afraid that the gate of the palace has already been closed, even though I am the deputy head of the imperial guard, it is impossible to justify bringing a big girl into the palace.

Immediately he asked: "Where is the little princess now?" Qian Laoben said: "The acupoints have been tapped, and they are hidden in a house on the outskirts of the city. I'm afraid that at this time tomorrow, people from Mu Palace will find it there." I was overjoyed , said: "That's easy to handle, first hide there for one night, and bring her into the palace with me tomorrow morning." Qian Laoben said: "Yes, but I don't know how to bring her into the palace? There is one subordinate Plan, this subordinate took over the job of delivering meat to the palace. Tomorrow, I can kill a big pig, take out the internal organs, and then..." I didn't let him continue, and waved my hand: "Pull it down, you want to stuff her into the pig's stomach It stinks to death. You put her in a box tomorrow morning and carry her outside my residence to wait." Qian Laoben told me what he said when he saw me. He thought it was a very high-level plan, and he couldn't help admiring her , Said: "Yes, the subordinates are stupid, it is the idea of ​​Xiangzhu."

I asked again: "Why did you accept the job of delivering meat to the palace? Can you make money?" Qian Laoben smiled and said: "The brothers in our association, in order to deceive others and to inquire about the news, we opened some small businesses. Business, my subordinate, I don't have any other great skills, but I have some experience in business, so our original incense master asked me to manage a few small shops in the club. There are some advantages in delivery." I was overjoyed, and couldn't help saying: "Great, you are good at doing business, and I have something to discuss with you." Qian Laoben said strangely: "I don't know what the incense master wants to order?" I laughed Said: "Get a carriage and go back to my house. Let's talk slowly on the way."

When we got back to the mansion, I sat in the living room with Qian Laoben, and asked someone to set out the food and drink, and ordered someone to invite Zhang Debiao and Li Yapeng. Taking advantage of the time when the two of them hadn't come, I turned my back and said: "Brother Qian, you know how to do business. It would be great. Our Tiandihui, although we are shouting slogans against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, the ultimate goal is to make the brothers in the association and the common people all over the world live a better life." Days, are you right?" Qian Laoben said: "That's right, many of the brothers in our association come from hard backgrounds, if it wasn't for making a living, who would live the life of licking blood with knives."

I saw him on the road, and I liked it even more in my heart, and said, "That's right. Besides, we are rebelling. We must have soldiers, recruit soldiers, pay food, buy weapons, and make military uniforms. We don't need money for any of them. Although there are so many people in the meeting, all of them are good fighters when they fight, but can you get money by just fighting? Facing the thousands of troops in the Qing Dynasty, what effect can your thousands of heroes play? So I said, those who can make money are the talents that our Qingmutang needs most at present."

Qian Laoben's eyes lit up when he heard these words, and he said happily: "Xiangzhu has unique insights and far-reaching vision. Our Qingmu Hall has Xiangzhu as the master, and it is really going to prosper." I laughed and said: "Don't you Busy supporting me, I am going to give you the burden now, if you do well, I will recommend you to be the deputy incense master, even if there is no deputy incense master in our Tiandihui, I will go to the master to ask for one back for you .”

Qian Laoben stood up immediately, and said: "Master Xiang trusts me, if I, Qian Laoben, mess up the errand you gave me, I will present the head on it."I smiled and let him sit down, and said: "It would be great if you would do your best. That's it. I intend to invest in some business, and I plan to let you do it." Qian Laoben may have guessed me. The thing he was asked to do was related to business, but he didn't expect that he was still in charge of some shops, so he couldn't help being a little disappointed, although he didn't say it, it showed on his face.

I saw what was on his mind, laughed, and said, "Do you think the errand given to you is too small?" Qian Laoben said, "I don't dare, I guess, the Lord Xiang is planning to test the subordinates first." If you improve your ability to handle affairs, you will be entrusted with important responsibilities." I laughed and said, "You are a rich man who just likes to play tricks. Let me ask you, have you ever been to the restaurant I own?" Qian Laoben said: " I’ve seen it from the outside, and it’s very impressive, but 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, do you know that this restaurant has been open for a month and earns a lot of money? How much money did you pay?" Qian Laoben said: "The Master of Xiang's shop has a lot of customers every day, I thought I could earn ten thousand taels of silver." I scolded: "Bah, the business of ten thousand taels is not good. Is your incense master willing to make it? Let me tell you, it’s 60 taels." I was afraid to scare him too hard, so I offered a discount in half.

Qian Laoben’s script was to kick on the support of a chair. Hearing the 60 taels I said, his foot slipped and his body fell sideways. I got up, grabbed the table with both hands, and exclaimed: "60 taels!! My dear, it's the tax of a county in our hometown for ten years." I laughed and said, "Don't compare it with your hometown in a remote area. Say, is this a trivial matter?" Qian Laoben hurriedly said: "It's not small, it's enough to support 10,000+ troops. Xiangzhu, you mean to leave the restaurant to me?" Look at his excited face Like this, I scolded: "The restaurant business is already going well, what do you need to do? I want you to reopen a few businesses."

Qian Laoben gained confidence now, and said: "Tell me what kind of business you want to do, Xiangzhu, and I will definitely be able to do it well." I nodded and said: "The emperor rewarded me with a garden, and I want to change it into a garden that can be used as a garden. Let people go in and spend a lot of money." Qian Laoben looked around and said, "If this house is changed into a business, where do you live, Master Xiang?" I smiled and said, "It's not this one, it belongs to Master Sukesaha Mansion." Qian Laoben was overjoyed, and said: "I know that yard, it's very big, I don't know what Xiangzhu plans to do in it?" I pondered for a moment, and said: "There must be everything in it, and we can provide guests with good wine and delicacies. , beautiful women, and guests can gamble in it. If possible, we can set up a hot spring. Anyway, as long as it is what the guests can think of, we have it. Once people go in, they don’t want to come out. They live for a year and a half Zai, I left all the money on my body before I was willing to leave, I have already thought of the name of this yard, it is called Heaven and Earth."

Qian Laoben sighed: "Hey, how much money do you have to throw in?" I smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the money, I will pay for it. That's not all, you mentioned sending pigs to the palace today, but I don't care about it." Reminds me of one thing, I am in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I can take over all the purchases from the palace. You can set up a trading house, and we will provide all the ingredients, cloth, medicinal materials, etc. needed in the palace in the future. , Then there will be endless money.” Qian Laoben said with a smile: “The money in the palace is very easy to earn, as long as you give enough filial piety to the eunuchs in charge, let us make a price.” I laughed and said: “In the future, there will be no need Give them money, and I will give them benefits."

Qian Laoben thought for a while, and said: "Master Xiang, I'm afraid I still need some manpower for the opening of the yard mentioned earlier, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable woman for a while." I smiled and said: "If you are doing business, if you don't have enough manpower, just pick from our hall, and find some talents from them, and reuse them. It's better than women, hehe, don't worry about it, I will take care of it. These two businesses, you We must hurry up and work on other aspects when the business improves."

Qian Laoben asked: "Apart from these two things, what else do we need to do?" I said: "Our business can't be limited to just these two things, you should look at the opportunity to start a bank, a pawn shop, a medicine shop, antiques, silk shops, etc." Wait, in short, you don’t have to consider the capital to do what you want to make money.” Qian Laoben was already very ambitious at this time, and said: “Master Xiang, I understand, you can rest assured that with your support, if my matter If you don’t do it well, you’ll lose face.”

Just at this point, Zhang Debiao and Li Yapeng have arrived, and walked in behind the servants. I asked the two to sit down and introduced each other. When it came to 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, Qian Laoben naturally understood, and stopped calling me Xiangzhu, and followed Li Yapeng to call me Master.

I want Zhang Debiao to hand over to Qian Laoben the official servants that the brothers have rewarded recently, and his brothers can be called by Qian Laoben at any time, Zhang Debiao agreed very happily.I also told Li Yapeng to draw money from the royal chef and experienced waiters in the restaurant, and Li Yapeng agreed.After discussing the important matters, I drank wine with them for a while, sent Zhang Debiao and Li Yapeng away, returned to the inner house, took out the blueprint of the Suksaha Mansion, and asked Xiaolian to take out 40 taels of silver and hand them over to the inner house. Because of Qian Laoben, Qian Laoben went happily with a huge sum of money.

I was a little worried, if this old boy took this money and slipped his feet, it would be no good.Losing money is a small matter, but where can I find such a smart and capable talent.

Early the next morning, I ordered the bearer to prepare the big sedan chair, and went out to the palace. Not far outside the mansion, I saw Qian Laoben through the sedan chair curtain, with two men behind him, carrying a big camphorwood box Waiting at a distance, I couldn't help but feel happy, and said to myself: This time, I really didn't see the wrong person.

Qian Laoben cried: "I, Qian Lao Wu, have lived most of my life, and I have never seen so many banknotes. Folks, come to my house for a drink!"
