Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 179 Zhou Qian's Way to Make Money

Zhou Qian ignored Lin Ji at all and was about to leave in a hurry.

But before he could walk out of the mountain temple, Lin Ji put his hand on his shoulder.

"When an old friend met, he turned his head and left without saying a word. Did you do something to apologize to me?" Lin Ji asked suspiciously.

The main reason was that Lin Ji cared so much about what Zhong Xiaoyan said in Yuquan County that he became suspicious when he saw people in Qingyang County.

When Zhou Qian left tomorrow, Zhong Xiaoyan hadn't even arrived in Qingyang County yet, but Lin Ji was worried and wanted to ask more questions.

Zhou Qian's face was a bit ugly: "Boss, let me go with Xiaomei, the two of us have caused trouble, and staying here will only hurt you."

Hearing this, Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, but instead of asking questions in a hurry, he looked Zhou Qian up and down.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and this kid seems to be even richer.

The fur robe on his body, the fur hat on his head, and the fur gloves on his hands look very valuable, and even more so to the touch.

"Zhou Qian, don't forget where I work. If there is any trouble, just say it. If you don't see it, it's fine. Now that I have encountered it, can I help you?"

Lin Ji abruptly dragged Zhou Qian and Xiao Mei to the fire and made them sit down.

Then, he bowed his hands at the merchants and others on the other side.

"I'm sorry everyone, I met an old friend in a foreign land, and I will be hungry for a while."

"Mr. Lin is polite."

"Yesterday's venison is still left. Although it is not full enough, it can still be used as a cushion."

"Mr. Lin only cares about the past, and doesn't care about us."

Lin Ji sat down beside Zhou Qian after saying hello to this group of people who were waiting to be fed.

Taking the jar of wine from Zhong Xiaoyan, he opened it and took a sip, then handed the jar to Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian hesitated for a long time, but finally took the wine jar and took a big gulp in the same way.

Putting down the wine jar, his tense expression seemed to finally relax a bit.

"Tell me, what trouble did you encounter?" Lin Ji asked again.

Zhou Qian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his wife Xiaomei beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Although money has touched people's hearts since ancient times, I never imagined that the huge Hehuan Sect would covet my little property."

Lin Ji frowned in surprise.

"Just for money, just such a small thing?"

"Boss Lin, your husband's wealth is not a small amount." Xiaomei was a little dissatisfied with Lin Ji's contempt.

Lin Ji sneered.

"How much money does this kid have? I remember that he brought 10 taels when he left Qingyang County, right? With this kid's lavish personality, how many money can he have left now?"

"More than 100 million taels." Xiaomei said in a flat tone.

This answer made Lin Ji startled, he rubbed his ears subconsciously, and then looked at Zhou Qian again.

When he saw Zhou Qian nodding his head slightly, for a moment, his heart was overwhelmed.

"Fuck, it's only been a few months, how the hell are you making money?"

Zhou Qian did not regard Lin Ji as an outsider, so he had no intention of concealing it, and said bluntly, "It's all just unscrupulous means."

"Tell me more." Wu Nan's ears perked up.

Zhou Qian took a strange look at Wu Nan, he reckoned that the young monk was Lin Ji's companion, so he didn't blame him.

"After I joined the Hehuan Sect, I went to Xiangcheng with my banknotes."

"And then?" Lin Ji and Wu Nan listened attentively.

"I met the owner of a large chamber of commerce in Xiangcheng, and hit it off immediately. I cooperated with him to monopolize the salt. I paid for the sweeping goods, and the large chamber of commerce hoarded the goods. In half a month, the price of salt increased more than ten times."

"Do you dare to touch the business of salt merchants?" Lin Ji couldn't believe it. Salt tax has always been an important income of the Great Qin Dynasty, so Great Qin's crackdown on private salt was extremely severe.

To seize is to behead.

It doesn't matter if the accomplices are found out whether they are tried or not, just catch one and kill the other.

But soon Lin Ji realized that the big chamber of commerce Zhou Qian was talking about was probably the salt merchants in Xiangzhou.

After all, this is not Jingzhou and Liangzhou. The imperial court's control over Xiangzhou is too loose.

"The one who cooperates with me is the largest salt merchant in Xiangcheng and the largest salt merchant in Xiangzhou."

Zhou Qian continued: "I made a profit of 20 taels in half a month from this transaction."

"Then what business do you do again?" Wu Nan hurriedly asked from the side.

Zhou Qian smiled helplessly.

"I bought a few brothels, and let the senior sisters of the Hehuan Sect come down to attract distinguished guests, so my brothels are all very hot."

"But earning more than 100 million in a few months is still too exaggerated." Lin Ji couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Qian grinned, and said, "Boss, have you forgotten about my affairs in Qingyang County? In the case of Goulan, men do it for the sake of saving face besides seeking pleasure. You just need to grasp this point. If you want to make money, it's not easy. ?”

"Tell me more." This time it was Lin Ji who asked.

"I asked the senior sister of the Hehuan Sect to pretend to be a nobleman who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then in the half month before the senior sister came, I made a big publicity in the whole of Xiangcheng, such nonsense as a lady's family is in decline, and so on. Everyone knows."

Lin Ji understood.

This is hype, what the hell is this age, you know how to engage in traffic?

Why, there is a fan circle culture when visiting kilns?

Sure enough, what Zhou Qian said next was exactly as Lin Ji expected.

"When the time was almost right, I issued a notice that the oiran had arrived, and then I invited all the dignitaries, rich and wealthy merchants to come."

"My senior sister is extremely beautiful, plus she has already suffocated the appetite of these fools. Therefore, when they heard that the oiran is still perfect and wants to marry a good man, everyone is like crazy."

Xiaomei on the side smiled foolishly, looking at Zhou Qian with pride in her eyes.

Lin Ji didn't know what to be proud of in such a crap.

"So you sold an oiran for millions?"

"Of course it's impossible, but if you don't do it once, it's enough to come a few more times." Zhou Qian shrugged, "Didn't you say earlier that men go to brothels, except for women, to save face. There are many rich masters in Xiangcheng, I arrange A few entrustments, sarcasm, and high prices, I am not afraid that no one will follow."

Hearing this, Lin Ji solemnly bowed to Zhou Qian.

"It's really because of you that I have gained a lot of knowledge."

This way of getting rich didn't suit him, so he didn't have much interest in it.

"Tell me about your Hehuan Sect. The Hehuan Sect is considered a relatively famous sect. Just because of this more than 100 million taels, do you want to kill each other?"

"More than one million taels is not a small amount." Zhou Qian sighed.

"But it's too difficult for a dignified cultivating sect to turn their faces for money."

"The Hehuan Sect has encountered a problem. If it has this money, the Hehuan Sect can still persist, but if the money is not handed over to the Hehuan Sect, then the Hehuan Sect may fall apart within two months." Said aside.

Lin Ji was at a loss as to what to do.

But just when he was about to ask, the gate of the mountain temple was suddenly kicked open.

"You two dogs and men are indeed here!"
