The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 218 Jiang Suining Wants to Buy Saltpeter Mine

Wang Lang glanced at the banknote and said nonchalantly, "I see. Didn't you see that I was talking to Prince Zhou? You can keep it first and don't disturb me."

"Yes." The servant left the private room with the banknote.

Zhou Yihong stared at the stack of banknotes, estimating that there were at least tens of thousands of taels, and became more and more curious.

"Brother Wang, where did you get so much money? Who is that Liu Er family member?"

"Brother Zhou, please don't ask. If you are short of money and want to make some money, just ask. But I really can't tell you how to make money."

"That's just being dishonest. If you know how to make money, share it with others. Don't eat it all by yourself."

"This..." Wang Lang looked hesitant.

"It seems that Brother Wang doesn't consider me as a friend." Zhou Yihong's face turned cold.

"I naturally consider Brother Zhou as a friend. Anyway, it's okay to tell you that this money of mine...is actually earned by lending at interest."

"Can you earn so much interest by lending?" Zhou Yihong was surprised.

Wang Lang lowered his voice and said, "I know people and have connections. If I put down 10,000 taels of silver, I can get 1,000 taels in a few days."

Zhou Yihong opened his eyes wide, "Making money this way? Is it reliable?"

Wang Lang nodded, "Of course he's reliable. Liu Erjia has been lending money at interest for many years. He has many tricks. We have been working together for more than half a year, and he has made me a lot of money. Although I lost a lot of money in gambling before, I made up for it all by lending money at interest. Now I have tens of thousands of spare money in my hands."

Zhou Yihong thought to himself, no wonder Wang Lang didn't feel bad at all despite losing money one after another before, it turns out there is this way.

If that's the case, then he can make up for his gambling losses by lending at interest, and he won't have to worry about his mother finding out!

"Brother Wang, I also want to lend money at interest. Could you help me get an introduction?"

"Brother Zhou, what you said is very confusing. You are the heir of a marquisate. The court has laws that prohibit officials from lending money privately. If this is discovered, it will be troublesome."

Zhou Yihong also remembered this and couldn't help but frowned.

Wang Lang looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless I go to find Liu Er on your behalf, I am a scholar and I am not bound by that. However..." Wang Lang shook his head again, "No, no, after all, it involves money and cannot be done by others."

"Why not? I think this method is very good!" Zhou Yihong's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Brother Wang, please help me with this."

"Brother Zhou, are you willing to trust me?"

"Of course." Zhou Yihong nodded.

Wang Lang was silent for a long time, then sighed, "Forget it. After all, if I had been able to stop Brother Zhou in the last fight, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Now that you've asked, I can't refuse, but..."

Wang Lang took a look at the thirty thousand taels of silver note that Zhou Yihong had just handed over.

"How about this, Brother Zhou, you don't have to take extra money to lend money. The thirty thousand taels can be regarded as you repaying ten thousand taels to each of us. I will use the ten thousand that you repay to Liu Er's family for lending money. If I make a profit, I will keep the capital, and the extra profit will be given to Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yihong was hesitating about how to go to the accounting office to withdraw money in a short period of time. When he heard Wang Lang's words, he immediately agreed and trusted Wang Lang even more.

"That's great, thank you, Brother Wang!"

"You're welcome, Brother Zhou."

Next to the private room, Jiang Suining and Lin Ziqing were sitting at the table drinking tea.

Listening to this conversation, Jiang Suining couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

This Wang Lang is really good at manipulating people's hearts.

After hearing this, it seemed that Zhou Yihong must have great trust in him.

If we give Zhou Yihong some profits in a few days and make him greedy, he will naturally invest more in one go.

After hearing the people in the private room next door leave and making sure they were far away, Lin Ziqing spoke.

"I have checked this Wang Lang. He has used the tactic of playing the long game to catch big fish. This Prince Zhou is going to suffer a great loss."

Jiang Suining curled his lips, "I would like to see the excitement."

From what Zhou Yihong said just now, Qin Shi didn't know about this matter yet, and thought that the money was withdrawn with other excuses. But if the hole gets bigger and bigger, the matter will naturally be impossible to conceal.

"Should I ask more about this?" Lin Ziqing asked.

Jiang Suining shook his head, "No need, don't leave any traces. If you are discovered, it will cause trouble to Tianyin Pavilion for no reason."

Lin Ziqing nodded, straightened his expression and said, "Let's get down to business. I've got the information you asked me to find out before. This is the location of some saltpeter mines, as well as the identity and address of the mine owner."

He placed a folded piece of paper in front of Jiang Suining.

They were not in this teahouse today specifically to see how Zhou Yihong was cheated, but just to discuss something here. When they entered the private room, they happened to see Zhou Yihong going upstairs.

Jiang Suining opened it and looked at it. "Have you asked about the price?"

"Yes, saltpeter is not valuable. If you sell it, these saltpeter mines are not expensive. I sent someone to check it out. Probably because saltpeter is not very useful, the mine owners are too lazy to mine it, and there is a lot of surplus in the mine. If you buy it, it would be very cost-effective. But why do you buy saltpeter mines for no reason?"

Saltpeter is very cheap and is rarely used in daily life. Even if you want it, you can buy it in a pharmacy. He really can't figure out why he would buy a saltpeter mine.

Jiang Suining folded the paper and smiled, "You'll know later."

Seeing that Jiang Suining didn't intend to say more, Lin Ziqing didn't continue asking.

When leaving the teahouse, Lin Ziqing learned that Jiang Suining was going back to the Jiang family. Thinking that he hadn't seen Jiang Mushi for a long time, he suggested going together.

There has been some progress in the matter of Jiang Mushi becoming his apprentice. When Jiang Suining and the others returned home, they learned that Shen Yanxi had come to deliver a book to Jiang Mushi today.

In the back garden, Jiang Mushi looked worried as he looked at a thick pile of books.

“Do I really need to see so much?”

Although he was willing to study hard when he was in the academy, it did not mean that he really loved reading.

"It's always good to see more." Shen Yanxi sat opposite Jiang Mushi, drinking tea without any expression.

Jiang Mushi looked at Shen Yanxi and said, "Master Shen doesn't look very happy. Is it because...my sister is not here?"

Seeing that Shen Yanxi did not deny it and looked at the book on the table again, Jiang Mushi rolled his eyes and said deliberately.

"My sister went out today to meet Lin Ziqing. Speaking of which, he and my sister and I knew each other when we were in the academy, and we have a very good relationship. I can see that he likes my sister very much. If he could be my brother-in-law, it would be perfect."

Lin Ziqing, who was just walking to the entrance of the garden, paused, his face froze, and he immediately turned to look at Jiang Suining.

I swear to God, this is pure rumor!

Could Jiang Mushi please stop talking nonsense? Jiang Suining is his God of Wealth, no, his Grandmother Goddess of Wealth!
