In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

After Qi Wan had settled the matters with the cloth shop and the incense shop, he led his people towards the Qi Mansion. Along the way, from time to time people came forward to greet Wu Ma who was following Qi Wan.

"Are you guys going back home?"

"gone back?"

Wu Ma replied with a smile on her face, "Yes, I'm going back home after finishing my business."

Miss Qi's move today stunned everyone, and everyone couldn't help but look at her with new eyes.

The Qi family dared to be so ostentatious even though they had no military power. I thought they must have some support.

Everyone was looking forward to Miss Qi opening a banknote shop.

Before Qi Wan returned home, several people from the casino went to Qi's house to find the housekeeper Qi and said, "Your house is opening a banknote shop, so we will take a share."

The masters of the Qi Mansion did not make any response, but just waited for Qi Wan to return and hear her ideas.

The servants of the Qi Mansion watched from afar, and when they saw the eldest lady appear, they ran back to report, "The eldest lady is back."

"Hurry up and bring lunch to Awan." Pei said with concern.

A team of servants ran to fetch the food boxes.

Qi Wan walked into the hall and saw her family sitting and waiting for her, with the table full of food.

She stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to grandfather, greetings to father..."

"Awan, eat something before we talk." Old Master Qi said kindly.

"You all should have your meal too." Qi Wan saw that there was only a pair of chopsticks on the table and invited them with a smile.

Zheng walked forward and took Qi Wan's hand, pulling her to the table, and said with a smile: "We just used a little, you've worked hard, come and eat something."

Qi Wan was not hungry after having snacks, but in order to appreciate her family's kindness, she asked to sit down and, served by Chunyan, had a few dishes and a small bowl of bird's nest porridge. She put down her chopsticks, and Dongqing brought water to help the young lady rinse her mouth.

Qi Wan just moved to the hall and said with a smile: "I'm sure you guys want to know how to open a banknote shop?"

Old Master Qi twirled his beard. He didn't say a word of blame. He smiled and said, "Ah Wan, tell me about the plan."

Just now, Old Master Qi said to the family, "Ah Wan is a weak woman who stood up for us and won face. No matter what decision she makes, no matter how unreasonable it is, we must support her unconditionally!"

Qi Lu said: "Awan has made a big promise in public. No matter how difficult it is, the Qi family will work together to open a banknote shop."

Qi Ze and Qi Yuan both agreed, "Open it. At worst, the Qi family will go bankrupt."

Zheng also expressed her opinion, "If you don't have money, I will sell my dowry."

Pei wiped her tears and said, "I also fully support Awan."

When Qi Wan heard her grandfather asking about her plans, she smiled and said, "Ah Wan, listen to everyone's ideas first."

"It just feels difficult." Brother Qi Ze spoke first.

He has served in the Ministry of Revenue for many years and is now the Minister of Revenue. He knows everything about business.

He went on to say: "It is useless to open one or two silver bill shops in the capital. Only by opening at least one in each state can the real silver bill circulation be achieved."

Qi Lu nodded in agreement: "That's right, we in the Qi Mansion don't have that much money to open a silver bill shop."

The combined wealth of the Duke and the eldest son of the Qi family could not even raise one million taels of silver. How could they open a silver bill shop?

If the Lu family sent someone to borrow one million taels of silver, the Qi family's banknote shop would be in trouble.

"There is not enough manpower to open a banknote shop." Pei said in embarrassment.

Qi Yuan was depressed, "If I had known that my sister wanted to buy a banknote shop, I would not have learned martial arts since I was a child, but learned calculations."

Old Master Qi waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Now listen to A Wan."

Everyone's eyes turned to Qi Wan, their eyes full of expectation and trust.

Qi Wan said lightly: "Don't worry about the money. We don't make a fortune from the banknote shop."

Her words stunned the family. They didn't have to worry about money? They were actually very worried.

"As for the manpower issue, that can be easily resolved."

She whispered, "Father's military power has been taken away, but there are still many people who were loyal to him before, as well as those before my grandfather. How many of their descendants can be taken away from the farm? Gather them together and build an escort agency and a silver bill shop."

"That way, we can retreat or defend." Qi Wan showed a mysterious smile.

Old Master Qi's eyes lit up. This was really a good idea.

His former wounded veterans now live on the farms in the Western Hills, and there are several farms that are now farmers. Their descendants also live on the farms, but they can only fill their stomachs but cannot become rich.

Besides, no one wants to be in a situation where there is no escape and the whole family is killed.

Qi Lu nodded continuously and looked at Qi Wan with amazement, "What a great idea."

Zheng looked at her aunt with admiration, as if she was looking at a bodhisattva.

"My aunt is so capable. With her around, there's nothing we can't solve."

Qi Ze also praised, "This is indeed a good idea."

Qi Yuan volunteered, "I'll take care of the escort agency."

Qi Wan said to the people in the mansion: "It is impossible for me to make all the money from any business. I will build a banknote shop and escort agency in every place and seek cooperation from the largest family at that time."

She added, "Of course, we have to bypass the Lu family."

"The Lu family is so bad." Pei got angry when she mentioned the Lu family.

Qi Wan took out a stack of banknotes and said with a smile, "This is a great gift from the Lu family. In the past, Shu brocade cost 25 taels of silver per piece, but today the Lu family gave me some silver, so I'll buy it for 50 taels of silver per piece."

Pei smiled and said, "Awan is really capable. You should take all of them. You still have to pay for the Shu brocade."

Everyone in the family believed that Wu Yi had helped with this matter, as she knew some merchants from the Western Regions.

Qi Lu asked: "Ah Wan, some people from the casinos just came and expressed their intention to invest in the silver bill shop. Should we accept it?"

"Of course." Qi Wan nodded.

She also guessed, "I'm afraid it's Princess Daning's Mansion that is helping."

Qin Gaoming was a third-rank official of the Zongzheng Temple. He opened a casino in the capital, and most of the customers were royal relatives.

"If it goes well, everyone will benefit." Qi Ze said with a smile.

Qi Wan said: "The new emperor will ascend the throne soon, so we should open the shop as soon as possible without delay."

The family began to discuss how to open a banknote shop smoothly.

Zheng said, "My two dowry shops are not doing very well. I can use them to open a banknote shop without the pressure of rent."

Qi Wan nodded, "Okay, the rent will be settled."

"No, no." Zheng waved her hand. "Sister has contributed labor and money. As brother and sister-in-law, how can we not contribute anything at all?"

Qi Ze also said: "Don't calculate the rent first."

"Okay, let's start driving first." Qi Wan nodded and smiled.

She appeared very optimistic in front of her family, but she was still nervous in her heart.

She is not short of money, and there is countless gold and silver in the space.

What she lacked was the skills to run a banknote shop.

How could she manage a banknote shop if she didn't learn to calculate? She also had to plan to open banknote shops all over the country.

Qi Wan thought to himself, "Who cares? I'll learn while I'm driving."

At least, she has her brother who is the Minister of Revenue to back her up.

Wu Yi told the informant what happened that day, and the news soon spread back to Ghost Valley.

After hearing this, Wang Qin praised: "Awan is really smart and witty."

He thought about it and realized that now that the military power of the Qi Mansion had been taken away, it would be difficult to open a shop without power and people.

Furthermore, opening a banknote shop requires someone to manage and calculate the accounts.

He must help Qi Wan to set up the escort agency and banknote shop.

Wang Qin called housekeeper Wang and asked, "Is there anyone in our valley who knows arithmetic and does business?"

"Your Highness, there are several people like this, and they were taught by Mr. Gu."

Mr. Gu was most proficient in counting with rods. He was unmatched in mental arithmetic and could play the abacus like playing the piano.

"Mr. Gu will be bored staying in the valley. If he wants, he can take his students out and seek refuge with the eldest lady of the Qi Mansion and help her open a banknote shop."

"Yes, Your Highness." Butler Wang went out to arrange people.

Steward Wang bowed to a white-haired old man and said politely, "Mr. Gu, the master is asking if you are willing to come out of retirement and help Miss Qi open a banknote shop."

"Miss Qi is the one that Your Highness has watched grow from the age of one to how old she is?" Mr. Gu put down the book in his hand and asked curiously.

Butler Wang blinked. "It seems so. I don't dare to ask."

"Haha, I'll go and see for myself how he is doing." Mr. Gu laughed happily.

This means he agreed.

The butler arranged a few more guards, "Protect Mr. Gu."

"Yes, butler."

Before Mr. Gu left, he met with Wang Qin and said, "Your Highness, I will go to help Miss Qi. Please take care of yourself."

"If you need silver, sir, you can use that sum of money." Wang Qin took out a jade seal and handed it over.

"Yes, Your Highness." Mr. Gu took the seal with shaking hands, feeling very excited. His Highness even planned to use the silver that the princess had deposited to support Miss Qi in opening a banknote shop. It seemed that he really cared about her. Then he would have a chance to see His Highness get married while he was still alive!

Wu Yi soon learned that a group of people were coming out of the valley to help Miss Qi. She exclaimed, "Mr. Gu is coming out too? Oh my God, is this master going to heaven, and that master will find a way to heaven?"

Fei Yang, who came to deliver the letter, said, "Is there any need to say more?"

Wu Yi quickly passed the news to Qi Wan, "The master has sent a divine man to help."

"That's great." Qi Wan clapped his hands in approval.

She asked curiously again: "How powerful is that person?"

Wu Yi smiled and said, "The abacus books that the students in the Imperial College are learning now were written by him."

"Oh, my God." Qi Wan took a look at the abacus he was looking at. It was as difficult to understand as a mysterious book. The author on it was Gu Qihe.

Qi Wan felt a deep sweetness in her heart, "Brother Qin is so good to me."

With Wang Qin's strong support, Qi Wan's unrealistic idea of ​​opening a silver bill shop was put into practice.
