Anger surged up from the depths of Ji Wuye's heart once again.
However, he didn't even have a chance to lash out.
Jiang Chuan then provided a further explanation.
Ji Wuye finally understood the key point.
It wasn't that the house prices were directly reduced; rather, they were sold to the public through installment plans.
People only need to pay 30% of the total price to buy the house.
However, the subsequent payments need to be repaid, and additional interest will also need to be paid.
"Isn't this still just renting out the house?"
After figuring out the key points, Ji Wuye turned to Jiang Chuan and said.
Jiang Chuan nodded, "That's right. It's actually similar to renting the house directly to them, since they also need to pay rent if they rent the house directly."
"But there are still differences. First, they are now the owners of the house. Second, we receive more money each year because of the interest."
"Besides that, our biggest gain was the contract they signed."
As Jiang Chuan spoke, he took out a contract from his pocket and handed it to Ji Wuye.
Ji Wuye picked up the contract, glanced at it, and said, "It seems there are no problems."
Ji Wuye hadn't figured out the truth behind it. It only stated the amount to be repaid each period, the interest rate, and that the amount to be repaid would increase if the payment was overdue.
Jiang Chuan chuckled from the side, "General, think about it carefully again."
"When a person can't even pay off a single installment of their debt, will they still have the money to pay off any additional debts that become overdue?"
"Even if he manages to patch up the flaws in this episode by piecing things together, what about the next episode?"
After a moment's thought, Ji Wuye roughly understood what was going on.
"!" He further revealed the true nature of this contract.
"What appears to be an IOU is actually a contract of servitude!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye's body trembled.
Indeed, this is a contract of servitude.
When a debtor has no money to repay, he can only use his assets to pay off the debt.
So, what assets do people who are in debt have?
The other party used all their money to buy a house.
The other party's assets consist only of that house and themselves.
When that time comes, the sold houses can be taken back directly, and people who have been driven to desperation will have no choice but to sell themselves to them. More importantly, they will have already given them all their money before the other party sells themselves.
Moreover, Jiang Chuan only mentioned the consequences of the other party being unable to repay the money under normal circumstances.
What if we use certain methods to speed up the process, making it impossible for the other party to repay the money?
Ji Wuye thought about many things.
Looking at the contract in his hand, his eyes immediately burned with fervor.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"It's just a small contract, yet there are so many intricacies involved. If I hadn't heard you tell me in person, I really wouldn't have known that money could be made in this way."

"You're right, it's just a mere 100,000 taels of gold, what's that?"
In an instant, Ji Wuye thought of countless people who had been bound by Jiang Chuan's methods of selling houses and signing contracts, and then all their money had been plundered by him, leaving them no choice but to sell themselves to him as servants. He felt a surge of pleasure.
"Today is a joyous occasion. Someone, serve wine to Mr. Jiang." At Ji Wuye's command, a beautiful maid immediately brought wine and handed it to Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and started drinking with Ji Wuye right there.
By the time he left Ji Wuye's general's mansion, he was already in a drunken and confused state.
.. . ...
But after returning to his own residence...
Although he was still drunk, his eyes were perfectly clear.
"As expected, Ji Wuye values me more and more."
Jiang Chuan whispered to Ru Shuang beside him.
So, was his goal to gain Ji Wuye's favor and be given important responsibilities?
it's not true.
Rather, it was to better conceal themselves.
Only when he is increasingly valued and trusted by Ji Wuye will Ji Wuye not immediately suspect him, even if something happens.
Ultimately, it's because Jiang Chuan has only been under Ji Wuye's command for a short time.
He didn't have time to slowly win Ji Wuye's trust, so he could only use these opportunistic methods to increase his value in Ji Wuye's eyes and thus win Ji Wuye's favor.
Ru Shuang handed a cup of tea to Jiang Chuan, listening quietly to his story without interrupting him.
Because she knew that Jiang Chuan was truly drunk today.
Thinking of how Jiang Chuan, for the sake of his mother and daughter, went to great lengths to join Ji Wuye's ranks after arriving in Xinzheng, and then dealt with Ji Wuye and won his favor.
Ru Shuang suddenly felt a pang of pity for Jiang Chuan.
"My husband, you've worked so hard."
Ru Shuang spoke involuntarily to Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan was a little slow to react because he was drunk. Upon hearing this, he looked at Ru Shuang with a blank expression.
Ru Shuang smiled, offering no explanation.
Chapter Sixty-Four: Miss Nongyu, I'm lusting after your body.
A night in which nothing was done.
Jiang Chuan rested for a night, but still felt some pain the next day.
Counterfeit alcohol is harmful!
Of course, Xinlingyin is not a fake wine, but this kind of high-concentration wine made purely by distillation is definitely not a good wine. However, for people of that era, since there was no such wine, they naturally flocked to it, thinking it was a top-quality wine.
In comparison, they are used to having a headache after a hangover.
Getting a headache after drinking alcohol is a very normal thing, isn't it?
Nobody thought there was a problem.
After drinking tea in the mansion for half a day, I had recovered quite a bit.
Jiang Chuan had just left.
Recently, in order to win Ji Wuye's favor, he even came up with the idea of buying a house in installments. To make this happen, he has convened countless meetings with those merchants over the past period.
The reason he was called "213" is because he officially became one of the Four Fiends of the Night and took over the entire business of Emerald Tiger, which enabled him to accomplish such a thing in a very short time and see results in a short period of time.
He didn't attend the meeting this afternoon.
The sale of the house is basically on track.
The reason I left the mansion was because I had some social obligations.
Someone invited us to Zilanxuan for some entertainment.
Jiang Chuan had only been to Zi Lan Xuan once. As the largest and most famous brothel in Xinzheng, although it was suspected of being a place that violated moral principles, Jiang Chuan would still go there to relax if he had the chance.
Of course, this "opportunity" refers to someone else treating.
As for his own words, forget it.
What's the point of wasting money going there to drink?
The beauties inside can only be looked at; they cannot actually do anything with them.
I visited Zilan Pavilion again.
As always, it was Zi Nu, the owner of Zi Lan Xuan, who personally greeted them.
Although Jiang Chuan had only visited Zi Lan Xuan once before, Zi Nu undoubtedly remembered him. At the same time, with Zi Nu's influence, she also knew that Jiang Chuan's status and position had recently risen, and he had become one of Ji Wu Ye's capable subordinates.
This made her smile even brighter when she faced Jiang Chuan.
"President Jiang, it's been quite a long time since you last visited Zilan Pavilion."
Jiang Chuan smiled and explained to Zi Nu, "I've been quite busy lately, so please don't think I've forgotten about Zi Lan Xuan, Miss Zi Nu."
"Whether it's Miss Zi Nu, Miss Nong Yu, or any other beauty, even if I forget someone, I could never forget you."
As he said this, Jiang Chuan looked at Zi Nu with an ambiguous gaze.
He even reached out to hold Zi Nu's delicate hand, wanting to develop a relationship with her that went beyond friendship.
