The Golden County Magistrate

Wang Yue was stunned: "Why?"

After spending so much effort, it's impossible to give up halfway, right?

Chen Yan's eyes became meaningful.

"If he really stirs up chaos in three states, the Great Zhou will be completely finished."

"Because the other party's stirring up these disturbances is obviously just a trick."

"The purpose is to cover up their real killer moves in other places!"

"The killer moves that took so much effort to cover up are definitely not trivial!"

Wang Yue was shocked when he heard it.

A trick?

A killer move?

After thinking about it, he reacted and understood why Chen Yan said it was a trick.

Civil uprisings are always just civil uprisings.

The refugees have no backbone and act in all directions. They can be suppressed with a little suppression. It is impossible to cause a real big disturbance.

The biggest effect is to make the Great Zhou army run around and exhausted, leaving other places empty and vulnerable.

The foundation of the Great Zhou is in the southern border after all.

Now that the states in the southern border have allocated a large amount of grain, silver and official troops to solve the civil unrest, it is a good time to start an uprising!

As long as we can seize the opportunity to take over the southern border, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be almost certain to win!

I really didn't expect that the county magistrate had considered it so far!

"But we don't need to worry about such a distant matter."

"That guy wants to touch my plate and ruin my interests, but he is destined not to wait for that day."

"The most important thing at the moment is whether Lao Lu has any new goods today."

When Chen Yan finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he turned and walked out.

Wang Yue was concentrating on listening to his lofty remarks, but when he heard the last sentence, he was stunned.

The county magistrate's actions were really unpredictable.

...

Inside the palace, after hearing Bai Lu's words, Tang Yun confirmed with some disbelief: "Are you sure you heard it right?"

Bai Lu nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, it is correct!"

Tang Yun was shocked and murmured: "Is he crazy? He doesn't accept the counter silver, but pays interest, and pays 40 wen for one tael! This ten thousand taels is 400 taels!"

One tael of silver is exchanged for one thousand wen in the week. If you deposit one million taels, wouldn't you make 40,000 taels for free in a month? !

Bai Lu took the opportunity to say: "I really don't understand, how can he maintain the silver shop by doing this?"

Tang Yun paced back and forth, frowning and thinking hard.

What is certain is that Chen Yan is definitely not a person who does business at a loss.

There must be a purpose for offering such a high interest rate!

Suddenly, she stopped in shock and her face changed!

"I know! This boy is using this silver to lend out and collect interest to make money!"

She was thinking of the 200,000 taels of silver that Chen Yan lent her.

Doesn't this mean that she is using loans to help that guy run the bank?

Bai Lu was surprised and said, "Lending? But if you lend, wouldn't ten thousand taels of silver only earn three hundred taels of interest a month?"

Tang Yun also realized that it was not right. Loans could not support the bank.

Chen Yan lent her two hundred thousand taels of silver, and the monthly interest was six thousand taels of silver.

Although this was ridiculously high, if someone else deposited two hundred thousand with him, the monthly interest would be eight thousand taels of silver.

With one in and one out, the loan could not make up for the difference.

"That's strange. How did he maintain the bank?" Tang Yun was puzzled.

"So the emperor didn't know?" Bai Lu was quite surprised. She thought the emperor must have the answer.

"That guy has done too many tricks. I am not a worm in his stomach. How can I know everything?" Tang Yun said unhappily.

"It doesn't really matter, as long as he's reliable." Bai Lu quickly changed the subject, "This opportunity is so rare, why don't we..."

"Hmph, do you think I don't want to? But now all the silver in the treasury has been sent to Jizhou, where can I get the silver to deposit in the silver shop?" Tang Yun was a little helpless.

Bai Lu thought about it and it was true.

Now the national treasury is supported by the business of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce. The silver earned every day is spent like water, and there is no surplus silver at all.

After all, the disaster in the Great Zhou is not only in Jizhou, but also in other places where the war has just ended and everything is in ruins. The enthusiasm for money and food is not much less than that in Jizhou.

Your Majesty is in too much trouble.

Tang Yun calmed down and said, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being and do business first."

It's useless to think too much.

It's better to get the business on the right track first. The sugar shop, meat shop, and ice shop are about to open. Although she is confident, she will inevitably be nervous when the time comes.

It's not too late to consider the silver shop after these things are in place.

After Bai Lu brought the news to He's house, she returned to the palace and went straight to her own residence.

The Fengling Guard's dormitory was deep in the palace, so that they could be ready to receive Tang Yun's orders at any time.

Each Fengling Guard had a separate room. Bai Lu returned to the dormitory, entered her room, closed the door, and fastened the bolt.

Then she lifted the mattress on the bed and carefully opened the secret compartment below.

Inside were some of her privateThere were several boxes of different sizes, each of which was exquisite.

She opened one of them, and ingots of silver were neatly stacked inside.

This was all her savings over the years.

In addition to daily expenses, all the salary was placed here. It was time for these little guys who were eating dust to earn some extra money for their master!

Bai Lu took a package to wrap the silver, and was about to close the secret compartment, but suddenly hesitated and opened another small box.

There were some jewelry such as hairpins and bracelets inside.

She had no chance to wear them anyway, so why not let them play a role?

She packed the jewelry together, then closed the secret compartment, re-laid the cushion, and sat at the table to think.

Which pawnshop can get a good price?

Wait, she remembered that there seemed to be pawnshops in Qingshan County!

Under Chen Yan's rule, those pawnshops might be able to get higher prices!

Dong Dong Dong!

While she was thinking, there was a knock on the door and a female voice came from outside: "Sister Bai Lu! Are you asleep?"

Bai Lu recognized Qu Moyue's voice and got up to open the door: "No, is there anything wrong?"

Qu Moyue said excitedly: "I heard that there are new products in the Tian family's beauty shop. I'm on vacation tomorrow, let's go shopping!"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes at her, turned around and sat down at the table: "How can we afford the things in there?"

Qu Moyue followed her to the table and smiled sweetly: "Let's take a look first! What if there are cheaper ones? Eh? What is this? Are you going to leave the palace?"

But she was suddenly surprised to see two packages on the table.

Qu Moyue was originally Bai Lu's confidant. Although the latter has been dismissed, the two have a very good relationship, so she didn't deliberately put away the packages of silver jewelry.

"What are you thinking about! I'm going to deposit this silver in the silver shop." Bai Lu did not hide it from her, "I can't wear these jewelry anyway, so I'll exchange them for silver and save them together."

"Ah? How much silver do you have? What are you going to save? You still have to pay the silver to the bank, isn't it a waste of money?" Qu Moyue was confused.

"You are ignorant, sister will tell you something new." Bai Lu told her about Qingshan Silver Shop.
