Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

After leaving the Xinyi Gang, Zhang Tiezhu and Feng Baqiang headed towards Qixin Tower. He wanted to find Jia Shi and meet the Fourth Prince.

The security guard at Qixin Building stopped the two and rudely shouted, "Stop! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Get out!"

Zhang Tiezhu sneered repeatedly. Last time, it was this guard who stopped him, and then Jia Shi came out to humiliate them. Now he wants to do the same thing again?

With two sharp slaps, Zhang Tiezhu sneered, "I came to talk business with the Fourth Prince and you dare to tell me to get lost? I think you're tired of living. When I see the Fourth Prince, I'll definitely report you and make you wish you were dead."

The guard was stunned by the beating, pointing at Zhang Tiezhu, "You, you..."

Two more big slaps, and Zhang Tiezhu kicked the guard, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt.

"I am your father. You look down on people like that. I'll kill you today."

The guards beside him tried to rush forward, but Feng Baqiang released his Blood Refining Realm aura, and they all fell silent.

Born in Yan City, they knew one thing well: a madman must have the right to be mad. Moreover, the newcomer was carrying a heavy sword, and the person behind him had fierce eyes and was carrying two short guns. He was full of vigor and bloodlust. Their few guards definitely couldn't beat him, nor did they dare to fight him.

These two must be someone important.

"Wait a moment, I'll go report right away." After saying that, the guard jogged into Qixin Building, his previous arrogance completely gone.

"Brother Zhu, you're awesome!" Feng Baqiang's eyes sparkled. He hadn't expected Zhang Tiezhu to be so arrogant; appearances can be deceiving.

"If you're working for the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), you need to have some presence. Learn from him in the future. Go get the money from Guo Yi tonight. It's up to you now."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhu, I'm learning. Just watch me tonight." Feng Baqiang patted his chest and assured him that he would do anything as long as he didn't kill anyone.

Inside Qixin Building, the Fourth Prince Lü Jin and Jia Shizheng discussed how to develop the economy. Building up power would require a lot of money, and unlike the First Prince, he did not have the support of the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce, making his path to the throne very difficult.

Being broke is a real headache.

Just then, a guard trotted in and said, "Fourth Prince, Lord Jia, there are two heroes at the door who want to discuss business with you."

"Talking business?" Fourth Prince Lü Jin asked curiously. Could it be that a merchant had come to seek refuge? It was like a dream come true. He immediately arranged for Jia Shi to go and greet him.

"Jia Shi, you handle the reception; I won't show myself." The Fourth Prince has a special and noble status; those of lower rank are not worthy to see him.

"Don't worry, Fourth Prince, I'll handle it." Jia Shi nodded and said to the guards, "Bring them in."

The guards brought Zhang Tiezhu and Feng Baqiang in, and Jia Shi's face immediately turned gloomy.

I still vividly remember Zhang Tiezhu criticizing him back then, I never expected this fool to come back again.

The visitor was a guest, and the Fourth Prince was sitting behind the screen. Jia Shide had to handle things well and not let the Fourth Prince feel dissatisfied, so he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Young man, it's been a long time. Please have a seat."

Zhang Tiezhu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the main seat where the Fourth Prince had just been sitting, then downed the tea the Fourth Prince had drunk in one gulp.

“Lord Jia, let’s not beat around the bush. I’ve come to see the Fourth Prince and ask him to invest and make money.”

Jia Shi's eyelids twitched violently. You fool, how dare you sit in the main seat and drink the Fourth Prince's tea? Do you have a death wish?

Jia Shi was a strategist, skilled in calculation. He felt disdain for Zhang Tiezhu's rustic appearance at first glance, but he wouldn't show it on his face. He would use words to get rid of Zhang Tiezhu.

“I remember you. You’re that servant from Lvchang County. Your master doesn’t come to talk, but sends a servant like you. What kind of manners is that? Besides, what big business can someone from the countryside like you possibly have to talk about? Selling tofu? Or selling candied hawthorns for a few coins? You can talk to the street vendors. They’ll give you good advice. You don’t need to talk to me.”

This is truly devastating. Jia Shi explicitly stated that Zhang Tiezhu was a servant and a country bumpkin, implying that he should negotiate with merchants for money. This clearly shows that Jia Shi looked down on Zhang Tiezhu and believed he had no right to talk to him.

Furthermore, when Zhang Tiezhu came in, he politely invited Zhang Tiezhu to sit down, showing courtesy before resorting to force, which was perfectly acceptable.

The fourth prince, sitting behind the screen, felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing Jia Shi's words.

I thought a big shot had come, but instead a servant showed up, yelling that he was looking for me. What bad luck!

Unfortunately, Zhang Tiezhu didn't understand Jia Shi's implied meaning. He said directly, "Lord Jia, I want to establish a chamber of commerce. I'm here to ask the Fourth Prince to invest. It's not much money, just 100,000 taels. 100,000 taels can be given as one share."

Jia Shi sneered, "A chamber of commerce? You think you can set up a chamber of commerce? What will you sell? Tofu? How much can you earn selling tofu in a day, twenty or thirty coins?"

Zhang Tiezhu was immediately displeased. "Can't you speak properly? I came to talk business with the Fourth Prince, but you don't come to him and instead keep talking nonsense. If you want to invest, just say so. Take out 200,000 taels of silver, and I can give you a share."

Glancing at the screen, Jia Shi wanted to order the guards to beat the two men to death and throw them out, but with the Fourth Prince present, he could only patiently communicate with Zhang Tiezhu.

"I'm willing to invest, but you have to tell me how you plan to make money first?"

He hit the nail on the head, Zhang Tiezhu grinned, “We have gathered more than 10,000 people from West Fourth Street to establish the Prosperous Era Chamber of Commerce, which includes a series of products such as food, brocade, forging, and bookstores. We will not only promote them in Yancheng, but also cover the entire Wuyan Kingdom. In less than a year, we will be bigger and more profitable than the Jinmao Chamber of Commerce.”

Before Jia Shi could speak, Zhang Tiezhu waved his hand impatiently, "I know you're a stingy dog, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you. If it weren't for my head镖师's goodwill towards the Fourth Prince, I wouldn't have come to persuade him to invest. There are more than 10,000 people in West Fourth Street. If each person puts in ten taels, we'll have a hundred thousand taels. It's like picking up free money, and you're still making a lot of noise. After we leave, I won't let you invest even if you want to."

Jia Shi's face darkened. Zhang Tiezhu had actually insulted him. He was a prominent figure in Yancheng, and this was the first time he had ever been called a dog.

"You look so pale, didn't you wash your face? If you don't call the Fourth Prince out, I will!" Zhang Tiezhu was very pleased. He came here to make a scene and see the Fourth Prince, so he immediately shouted loudly.

"Fourth Prince, come out, I've brought you money."

Behind the screen, the Fourth Prince felt increasingly uneasy. This person actually knew he was behind the screen, and now he was directly telling him to come out. If he hid, it would make him seem petty. He laughed and stepped out from behind the screen.

"Chairman Zhang is indeed remarkable. He actually knew that I, the prince, was here. That's impressive."

The newcomer had sincere eyes, an infectious smile, and an imposing presence. Dressed in luxurious silk, he exuded an air of nobility. He was none other than the Fourth Prince, Lü Jin.

Zhang Tiezhu was dumbfounded; he had actually called out the Fourth Prince.

He quickly came to his senses and waved his hand dismissively, "My head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) said that as long as you're here, you're here. I just want to ask you one question: are you going to invest?"

With a chuckle, the Fourth Prince Lü Jin asked curiously, "Who is your head镖师 (bodyguard/escort)?"

"Zheng Qian, the God of Slaughter at the Northern Gate, is omnipotent." Zhang Tiezhu said with a face full of pride.

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected that Zheng Qian, recommended by Consort Yun, was the legendary Killer of the North Gate, who wiped out the Xinyi Gang in three days after taking office and fought against a thousand experts at Qingtai Slope.

Putting everything else aside, the Fourth Prince dared to invest money in the Chamber of Commerce based solely on Zheng Qian's track record. Not to mention that Zheng Qian is his man, and if he fails, he can ask Consort Yun to cover for him. However, he won't give 100,000 taels because he doesn't have any.

Lu Jin casually sat down on the stool, looked at Zhang Tiezhu and said with a smile, "This prince will invest 30,000 taels and tell Zheng Qian to do a good job. This prince has high hopes for him."

Zhang Tiezhu's face lit up with joy. He chuckled and took out a piece of paper, immediately writing down an agreement.

Handing the paper to the Fourth Prince, Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile, "My head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) said that even if you don't contribute any money, you'll still get a share of the profits from the Chamber of Commerce. However, since you're contributing 30,000 taels, which is a bit small, my head镖师 instructed me to be generous and let you have a share. Please stamp this document and deliver the 30,000 taels to the wing room on West Fourth Street today."

The fourth prince wore a smile on his face, but in his heart he had cursed Zheng Qian a thousand times.

You should have told me you'd share the money with me earlier! My daily expenses are so high, and 30,000 taels is my last savings. It hurts me to part with it.

Jia Shi immediately jumped out and pointed at Zhang Tiezhu, "Don't push your luck. You want a stamp and money today. Do you think you can throw a tantrum just because the Fourth Prince has a good temper?"

"Lord Jia, there's no need to be angry. They are all people working for me. I will not only protect Zheng Qian, but also promote him to serve me." After saying this, Lü Jin continued to speak to Zhang Tiezhu.

"Tell Zheng Qian to go ahead and do it; I trust him."

Zhang Tiezhu's smile stretched from ear to ear. "Fourth Prince, don't worry. Follow my head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), and I'll make sure you live the high life."
