I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Prime Minister's House.

The Right Prime Minister's party has already started preparing a banquet, apparently to celebrate some happy event.

"Prime Minister, please."

Xu Renyou raised his glass and toasted Lu Jun.

Lu Jun's usually heavy face now looked a little more relaxed. He raised his cup and drank it down. Under the influence of alcohol, he smiled at the officials below and said, "Thank you for your hard work recently. Please."

"Prime Minister, Jiang Zuo is definitely going to die this time, there is no need to worry."

There is humanity.

This Jiangzuo not only disrupted the Jiangnan families, but even damaged the interests of the Right Prime Minister's party in Mobei.

At this moment, these officials wished that Jiang Zuo would be punished by the emperor immediately.

When they heard that Your Majesty was sending Jiang Zuo to the State of Chen, the Right Prime Minister and his party were quite worried, because they believed that Jiang Zuo would definitely disrupt the situation.

The right party headed by Lu Jun were all peace advocates, and sometimes even smuggled goods into the State of Chen.

If a war breaks out, their interests will be greatly damaged.

But they did not expect that Jiang Zuo was not a war faction, but a surrender faction.

If the empress still comes forward to protect Jiangzuo, she will not be able to explain to the officials of the court about the evidence of defecting to the State of Chen.

Now it was not just the Right Prime Minister's party that impeached Jiang Zuo. Even the Left Party headed by Wei Hong was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Zuo's behavior.

"Guess what the emperor is thinking about now?"

Someone asked quietly.

"Everyone knows that Jiang Zuo is the emperor's new favorite. I want to see if the emperor is willing to protect Jiang Zuo at all costs..."

"Anyway, the Emperor made a completely wrong choice of envoy this time."

Once Jiangzuo falls, the Right Prime Minister and his party will seize this envoy's position.

"This Jiang Zuo is really bold. He actually dared to go to the State of Chen to collect a lot of money under the order of the envoy. You know, the emperor hates corrupt people the most. If he doesn't deal with Jiang Zuo, how can he convince the public?"

They were talking among themselves, as if they were all waiting to see Jiang Zuo make a fool of himself.

……

Chen Guo.

Guangning City.

It has been seven days since the businessman Qian Dong appeared.

And today is the day he fulfills his promise.

Just at noon, a group of people gathered in front of Pang Li's shop.

Most of these people came with the intention of watching a show.

At this time, there was a plaque on the shop, which read: "Qiandong Financing Bank."

"What the hell?"

The onlookers looked confused.

The new and interesting gadgets that have appeared in Guangning City recently have really opened the eyes of the people of Chen State.

After waiting for a long time, the businessman Qian Dong still did not show up.

"Why hasn't that guy shown up yet?"

someone asked.

"Hey, is there any need to say more? He must be a liar who took the money and ran away. How could such a good thing happen?"

"Luckily I didn't fall for it. I wonder which idiot actually believed it."

"Let's go, there's nothing to see."

The enthusiasm of the onlookers faded and they were about to leave, when suddenly the door of the shop opened and Pang Li appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone, the first batch of bonds issued have come to me for redemption."

Pang Li said loudly.

“This guy didn’t even run away.”

"Merchants from Qiandong are usually quite cunning, but this boss looks quite honest..."

Everyone was talking about it.

While others were discussing this, Pang Li added: "Customers who have previously purchased bonds can now line up to receive their principal and interest back."

As Pang Li said this, he turned around and ordered his followers to bring in boxes of gold and silver.

"I have one thousand taels!"

"Here are my five hundred taels!"

More than a dozen people raised their credentials and shouted loudly.

"Come one by one, don't rush."

There was another burst of noise in front of the shop.

Boxes of gold and silver and stacks of banknotes were placed in front of everyone.

"Oh my god, they really gave out money!"

Looking at the pile of gold and silver in front of them, everyone's eyes lit up.

After a while, all the money had been distributed.

"Everyone, the second batch of bonds is now on sale. You can still borrow them from me for seven days and pay 10% interest. That is to say, if you lend me 100 taels, I will return you 110 taels in seven days. I am already looking for the second batch of treasures, and I will return the money to you soon. This time, you only need 100 taels to invest."

"One hundred taels is enough?"

The people of Chen State watching

"No, no, we have to wait and see. There is no way such a good thing can happen."

Those who are cautious choose to remain rational.

"I'm going to try betting three thousand taels."

At this time, someone was heard talking again. Following the voice, the person was Jiang Zuo.

"Sir, you can't trust what these Chen people say."

Master Guo pretended to persuade him.

Hearing this, the people of Chen State nearby were immediately upset. They rushed forward one by one and said angrily: "What do you mean, Yan people? Since you don't trust us Chen people, what are you still doing in Chen State? Get out of Chen State!"

These Chen people seemed to be out of control and were almost surrounding Master Guo and Jiang Zuo.

At this moment, Situ Hua, who was standing behind Jiang Zuo, hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Zuo to prevent this group of Chen people from taking action.

"Everyone calm down, the people of Chen are all our good friends, why can't you trust me? In this way, I will pay 5,000 taels, the more you pay, the more you earn!"

Jiang Zuo said something shocking again.

After hearing Jiang Zuo's words, everyone calmed down a little.

"Isn't this the envoy from Yan?"

"Is this guy telling the truth or lying?"

Others were puzzled.

"Who would be friends with a dog like this? It's a joke."

Many people still hold hostility towards Jiangzuo.

But Jiang Zuo didn't care at all. He took out the banknotes from Datong Bank of Chen State and placed them in front of Pang Li, saying, "Five thousand taels. After seven days, I want five thousand five hundred taels. If you don't have that, I will help you get kidnapped to Yan State."

"Of course, of course. I am a man who keeps his promises and will never deceive my customers."

The other person smiled and accepted the banknote.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Let me lend you a hundred taels to see how things go."

The man who was speaking was dressed in fine clothes, so he must be a wealthy businessman.

The appearance of this Qiandong merchant Pang Li has already aroused the curiosity of outsiders. Many wealthy businessmen came to Guangning City from all over Chen State to see whether this mysterious Qiandong merchant is really so generous.

But when they saw the boxes of gold and silver behind Pang Li, many people's doubts gradually dispelled.

"Don't worry, everyone. My shop is right behind you. I can't run away."

Pang Li promised solemnly.

After hearing Pang Li's promise, more and more people from the Chen State who were watching began to waver in their hearts.

Szeto Wah watched all this silently, and seemed to have understood the truth in his heart.

After spending many days together, his attitude towards Jiang Zuo has changed a lot.

"So this is your master's plan."

He said silently in his heart.

Szeto Wah also agreed with this plan.

The imperial court is short of military funds now. If it wants to destroy the State of Chen, perhaps it should do as Jiang Zuo said, take from the State of Chen and then use it in the State of Chen.
