First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

In the end, Li Yuzhu was moved by what Zhao Xiuwan said.

She smuggled a lot of silver bills out of the palace.

She was not a particularly favored concubine in the palace, and was usually very cautious and low-key. Previously, she accidentally saw the eunuch in Liang Fei's palace reselling things from the palace. She did not say anything, but used this handle to let the eunuch help her sell some things from the palace.

So she was very low-key in the palace, but she had a lot of silver bills in her hands.

Later, Emperor Jing fled with his men, and she was relieved. After all, the men had fled and the palace was occupied by the rebel army. By then, no one would be able to find out how much she had resold.

So when Zhao Xiuwan approached her and talked about doing business together, she was very tempted!

"I'll go back and discuss it with our boss." Although Li Xiuzhu was tempted, she was not stupid and would not take out the banknotes so easily.

"Okay! Go back and talk to your husband!" Although Zhao Xiuwan was anxious to open the store, she also knew that it would not be easy to get someone to take out five thousand taels of silver notes at once.

However, she still took out all the banknotes she had prepared and waved them in front of Li Xiuzhu, "My share is ready!"

She had a hundred thousand taels of silver in her hand.

Li Xiuzhu was shocked when she saw it. "Where did you get so much money?"

"Don't worry about it!" Zhao Xiuwan raised her head, "My father is the governor of Jiangxia, and I have been a concubine in the palace for so many years, so I can still come up with this little money!"

This is not just a small amount of money!

Li Xiuzhu suddenly felt that she seemed to have more confidence.

Zhao Xiuwan is so rich, but he only asked her to invest 5,000 taels of silver. Isn't this really helping her?

"Okay, okay, I don't need to go back and discuss it with my husband." Li Xiuzhu pulled Zhao Xiuwan, "Let's go to the bank right now, I'll give you a silver note for five thousand taels of silver!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xiuwan immediately smiled.

She carefully put away the silver note worth one hundred thousand taels of silver, and couldn't wait to pull Li Xiuzhu towards the branch of Datongbao in Mangcheng.

Where did she get so much money? She found it this morning when she was rummaging through the clothes her husband left at home!

The reason why Qian Feng had so much money was because Wei Ling asked him to take people to withdraw silver to distribute to everyone for the New Year.

There were 100,000 taels of silver notes, and the other 30,000 taels had been redeemed for cash and sent to the army. Because the Datongbaohao in Mangcheng did not have that much cash for settlement, he was asked to hold the silver notes and wait for another day.

Qian Feng was afraid that so many banknotes would be lost, so he hid them in his clothes and placed them in the closet at home.

Little did I know that it was discovered by Zhao Xiuwan.

Zhao Xiuwan also knew that these banknotes did not belong to her husband, but she could use them to bluff others.

Li Xiuzhu is the person who was bullied.

Zhao Xiuwan had previously told Qian Feng that she wanted to open a jewelry store and asked Qian Feng to put up the money.

Qian Feng was in a dilemma. He had used most of his money to buy a house. Although he had some money left, Zhao Xiuwan had spent almost all of it. He couldn't even come up with 500 taels of silver, let alone 5,000 taels...

Zhao Xiuwan cried and made a fuss, and Qian Feng had no choice but to borrow one thousand taels of silver from a money lender in the city, and then he added the three hundred taels of silver he had on hand and gave it all to Zhao Xiuwan.

Zhao Xiuwan realized that she really couldn't squeeze any money out of Qian Feng, so she had to think of another way. The first thing she thought of was Li Xiuzhu.

However, Zhao Xiuwan did not lie to Li Xiuzhu. After all, Qian Feng helped her find two retired craftsmen from the army. These two craftsmen had to retire due to injuries, but they still had skills, so they were hired by the military camp to help make things.

They had all learned silversmithing before and could make some simple jewelry.

Qian Feng really wanted to help Zhao Xiuwan. He even used his connections to find a man who had left the Black Tiger Army due to an injury and opened an escort agency in Mangcheng. The man agreed to help transport some raw ore back from the south.

That's why Zhao Xiuwan is so confident in bragging to Li Yuzhu now.

She had no intention of using the more than 1,000 taels of silver in her hand. Now that she had fooled Li Yuzhu, she just wanted to save all the money Qian Feng gave her and make it her own. She only used Li Yuzhu's 5,000 taels of silver to open a silver shop.

She calculated that five hundred taels of silver would be enough to rent a store and decorate it.

Three thousand taels of the remaining money were given to the escort leader to help buy jade raw materials. Five hundred taels of the remaining money were kept as liquid funds for emergencies, and the other one thousand taels were used to buy tools and raw materials for making gold and silver jewelry, that is, real gold and silver!

One thousand taels is enough! Once you make money, just keep buying.

Zhao Xiuwan was good at using the abacus, and when she saw Li Yuzhu handing her five thousand taels of silver, she was so excited that she almost flew up and reached out to take it.

"Write me a receipt," Li Yuzhu held the banknote tightly.

"Hey, you still don't believe me?" Zhao Xiuwan said with a smile, "I have so much money in my hand, would I cheat you of such a small amount of money?"

"Even brothers should settle accounts clearly." Li Yuzhu refused, "Since you won't cheat me, just write me a promissory note."

"IOU?" Zhao Xiuwan was startled. "Isn't this a partnership between you and me?"

"Yes, it's the IOU." Li Yuzhu smiled, "I'll just lend it to you. If you pay me interest every year, it will be your dividend. I'll lend you 2% interest! It's much cheaper than other people who pay 90% and return 130%!"

"Li Yuzhu, are you kidding me?" Zhao Xiuwan's face fell immediately. "You can pay back two shares of the interest, why don't you just go and rob? Who asked you to borrow? Didn't I tell you that I have plenty of money, and now I am willing to take you to make money together!"

Li Yuzhu shook her head and said, "I don't understand what you said. If you need it, take it. I'll lend it to you. You have to pay me interest. I won't ask you for the principal in a hurry. You just need to pay me the interest every year. The two cents of interest I give you is much less than the dividends you promised me before! You won't lose anything after all!"

Zhao Xiuwan was almost furious.

She originally thought she was being fooled! But it turned out that she was being fooled!

"Okay, okay! Li Yuzhu, I misjudged you!" Zhao Xiuwan stomped her feet and cursed, "Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"You were the one who thought I was a fool." Li Yuzhu laughed when she saw Zhao Xiuwan's expression. "If you really have so much capital, why bother giving me this opportunity? You just came to me because you are short of money."

Zhao Xiuwan was suddenly speechless.

They are all women who came from the palace, so which one of them is really stupid?
