Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn

Gu Mingyue took out a piece of paper.

He wrote a few words with a brush and pushed it in front of Pei Yu.

"Lord Pei, I'm entrusting you with an important task. Go and draft a set of procedures for logistics insurance business."

Pei Yu blinked, her brain processing information rapidly for a moment.

"Insurance...?"

Do not understand.

Gu Mingyue provides a brief explanation.

"Cargo transportation insurance".

"Before a merchant ship sets sail, it pays an insurance premium based on the value of the goods. A premium of ten taels can insure goods worth one thousand taels of silver."

"As long as the premium is paid, Pujitang will fully compensate for any cargo losses caused by merchant ships being robbed by river bandits or collisions during the canal transport."

The powerful clans and aristocratic families are about to rob the grain transport.

If Pei Yu is obsessed with making money, then she will definitely feel more and more pressure.

Now she's going to lead Pei Yu to do the opposite.

They demanded that Pei Yu pay compensation.

With transportation insurance, Pujitang can guarantee that even if it is robbed, the canal transport will not lose customers.

Pei Yu wouldn't find the task difficult, and he could also conveniently complete the task of squandering money.

Only then can she ask her father for money again.

Gu Mingyue gave Pei Yu a serious explanation.

"Remember, the core of our Pujitang insurance business is only one thing: if something goes wrong during transportation, don't worry about the money, just settle the account and provide compensation directly. Understand?"

Pei Yu's eyes lit up!

Spend money?

He's an expert!

He nodded repeatedly, puffed out his chest, and spoke in a loud voice.

"Got it! Absolutely! Just you wait and see, Mr. Gu!"

Pei Yu received his first task.

He returned to his residence in high spirits, eager to get to work.

Spread out the Xuan paper, pick up the brush, and take a deep breath.

My brain started working.

……

What did the boss say again?

When I get excited, my mind goes blank!

It's like you've studied a lot of material, and when you look at the exam questions, you realize you've reviewed everything.

In my excitement, I forgot everything!

Pei Yu's brows slowly furrowed into a perfect "川" (river) shape.

Try to think hard and rack your brains.

It seems to be talking about "water pirates," "cargo ship collision," and "compensation needs to be expedited!"

He put down his pen, rested his chin on his hand, and thought for a while. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Pei Yu stood up and walked around the room three times.

For a moment, he even considered going to find Gu Mingyue again to ask her for clarification.

But as soon as he stepped out of the door, he quietly pulled his foot back.

No.

If he has to ask for permission for even such a small detail, Master Gu will definitely think he is not up to the task.

If Gu Mingyue dislikes him and fires him, his whole family's heads will still be on the Emperor's list!

Pei Yu sat back down at the table, biting the pen and pondering for a long time.

Yes, Master Gu must have come to test him.

As an outstanding student of the Imperial Academy, he certainly has some brains.

So, Pei Yu picked up his pen and, with a surge of enthusiasm and the confidence that "I am extremely intelligent," began to draft the insurance regulations.

The next day, Gu Mingyue did not come to the construction site.

Pei Yu held his self-written "Insurance Regulations" and waited and waited, but the boss never came.

As a newcomer to the workplace, he was completely unaware of a rule called "requesting instructions and reporting".

So he went straight to Qian Dajiang, who was in charge of the practical operation of the canal transport.

"Master Qian, this is the insurance policy arranged by Master Gu. Please issue it for implementation immediately."

Pei Yu slammed the paper on the table, her face full of excitement and pride.

Qian Dajiang picked up the paper and started reading it from the beginning, word by word.

His pupils slowly dilated, and he inhaled longer and longer.

"This...is this really what the employer decided?"

Qian Dajiang pointed to the line "A reward of one thousand taels for active collision," his fingers trembling slightly.

Pei Yu raised his chin, looking very confident.

"Of course, it's the employer's idea. The employer's exact words were: 'If there's an accident, we'll compensate you quickly; don't be stingy with the money.'"

Qian Dajiang's eyes widened, and he gripped the paper tightly with both hands.

I looked down and went through the charter again from beginning to end.

My heart was filled with excitement.

So, the employer understood their hardships!

This is not insurance at all!

This is the most ambitious bounty order ever issued in the history of the martial arts world!

I'll use my hard-earned money to support my brothers!

Along the entire canal, a self-armed merchant ship squadron was forged!

Where is the boss doing business?

The owner is directly challenging the monopoly of the powerful clans in the canal transport industry!

Snatching food from the tiger's mouth! Benefiting the people!

Who cares about cargo transportation anymore? Any passing ship can provoke the pirates!

"Excellent! What a spirit the employer has!"

Qian Dajiang slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly!

His eyes shone brightly, and his voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and passion.

"With this plan in place, what are we brothers afraid of? Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work! Hahahaha~~"

"Don't worry, Lord Pei! I'll have a thousand copies made right away, and they'll be posted at all the docks along the river tonight!"

"Tomorrow I'll personally lead the brothers, cover the entire bow of the boat with iron plates, and go out to sea to find the pirates!"

"One hit, a thousand taels; two hits, two thousand taels! What kind of powerful clans and aristocratic families are these? What kind of monopoly on the Grand Canal?"

"I will surely lead my brothers and carve out a peaceful waterway for our master!!!"

"Just you wait and see!"

After saying this, the two cupped their hands in a respectful gesture, as if they could already see a glorious future ahead.

Pei Yu watched Qian Dajiang's spirited figure disappear through the doorway.

I straightened my clothes with a sense of satisfaction.

It seems that I have written a pretty good charter!

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study.

The sun outside the window was already setting in the west.

A long, slanted beam of light shone in through the carved window and fell on the stacked folds of the imperial desk, casting a warm yellow hue.

Xiao Ye put down his vermilion brush and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"reasonable."

Gu Mingli was still drawing on the table below.

Hearing the call, he looked up, the charcoal pencil still between his fingers.

"Um?"

Xiao Ye's voice turned serious.

"How much do you know about the canal transport?"

Gu Mingli put down his pen and stretched his neck.

"I only know the basics. I heard that several branches of the Canal Gang have sided with the powerful Cui family."

"The Joint Canal Transport Company controls more than 80% of the freight transport channels."

"More than 80%."

Xiao Ye dropped the folding book in his hand.

His face remained expressionless, but his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

"The Cui and Zhou families joined forces and incorporated nineteen river strongholds along the way, turning the river bandits into their private army."

"Any merchant ship that is not approved by them shall be plundered."

Gu Mingli listened, his elbows resting on the table.

Unconsciously, his fingertips twirled the charcoal pencil, spinning it faster and faster.

"This is utterly lawless."

"Hmm, so does Pujitang have any countermeasures in mind?"

Xiao Ye continued to look at him.

Gu Mingli looked up at the roof beam, not paying much attention.

"My sister is much smarter at this kind of thing than I am."

In the business world, who can outmaneuver his sister?

Gu Mingli spoke in a light tone, with a hint of blind trust.

"Just you wait and see, it won't be long before something happens."

Xiao Ye lowered his eyes and pulled a book from the stack of folded books on the desk.

"Please allocate one million taels of silver for the autumn military pay of the Northern Border Garrison. The National Treasury currently has two million taels available for allocation."

As Gu Mingli listened, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Xiao Ye tossed the folded paper onto the table and said calmly and coolly:

"The 120,000 soldiers in the north are eating sand and drinking the northwest wind outside the pass, while these parasites in the court are eating their fill and getting fat."

As Gu Mingli listened to Xiao Ye's tone gradually deepen, the hairs on the back of his head suddenly stood on end.

The boss's tone was ominous.

as predicted.

Xiao Ye tapped the folding paper twice with his index finger.

"If all else fails, confiscate the homes of a few corrupt officials and use that money to pay the military pay."

The charcoal pencil in Gu Mingli's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

ransacking the house?!

Whose house should be raided first?
