"Boy Zhongyi, you mean that you want to have this palace and Concubine Yuan, in our personal name, invest in this whaling industry..."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, when Xu Changqing expressed his purpose, Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan were both stunned.

Who would have thought that what Xu Changqing talked about was not the core thing, but... he came to find extra money for them...

"Haha. It's this. I wonder if the Empress and the Concubine are interested? Of course, you can choose to invest or not. If you invest, I will give you more shares. If you don't invest, you will have fewer shares. In short, this is a very promising business. If you take stocks, I will do things. Of course, when it is necessary, I need you to come forward and help me do something."

Xu Changqing played with the wine glass in his hand and looked at the two most noble women in the world with a smile.

"this……"

Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan looked at each other and were at a loss.

Even though they were over thirty years old, they were thirteen or fourteen years old, and they followed Emperor Chongzhen at the age of fourteen or five. Later, they were in the deep palace, and they were a little 'no-touch and had no idea about the sufferings of the people, so how could they do any business?

But if they have never eaten pork, they must have seen pigs running. How could they be stupid if they can walk to this point?

Countless facts have proved that Xu Changqing is definitely a model of "turning stones into gold". He was the Ming Dynasty at this time, including the most powerful and capable person in the world!

He had already put forward an olive branch at this time. If they didn't accept it, it wouldn't be a stupid problem.

But the key is that there are really too many unpredictable things in it...

Especially for Queen Zhou.

After all, ‘Eat people for short mouths, and use people for short hands…’

At this time, Concubine Yuan's reaction was obviously more intense than that of Queen Zhou.

Although she was a noble concubine, she was in a hurry when she fled from the capital, and all she could take away was some of the fine and soft things she had with her. Even if she arrived in Nanjing smoothly, who could explain what the situation was like in Nanjing?

What else is more affordable than money?

They don’t want to die yet, they still want to live well...

After thinking for a while, she said in a tangled way: "Boy Zhongyi, I don't know, I don't know how much profit I can get every year, so how can I withdraw it?"

"hehe."

Xu Changqing smiled and looked at Concubine Yuan's beautiful eyes: "The Concubine is a good question. In Changqing's plan, each of the Empress and Concubine, you can have half a share of dry shares. For every 10,000 taels of silver, you will add one point. At present, I can't say how much dividends will be paid every year. However,

Empress, Empress, I, Haicheng, will soon establish a bank!

Oh, it’s a money house, a money house that can truly connect with the world!

As for the name, it is tentatively called Huaxia Development Bank. At that time, your dividends can be withdrawn from the bank at any time. In the short term, it should be easy to have tens of thousands of taels of silver in your half-component shares.

If so, I'm going to be able to grow at least 300,000 or more 500,000 people in this industry in the future."

"this……"

Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan couldn't sit still, and their breathing began to become rapid.

In fact, it is not only Concubine Yuan who is unsure, but Empress Zhou is also unsure at this time.

Because of the affairs of the Tian family, the Tian family has nothing to say about it now...

To put it bluntly, Emperor Chongzhen not only did not treat Xu Changqing very well, but instead owed a lot...

If Xu Changqing hadn't "Riding alone to save the Lord", they had long become red pink skeletons, how could they still enjoy the glory of this Haicheng Hotel until now?

And Xu Changqing actually said that 500,000 people will be employed in the future. What does this mean?

This will surely be a national weapon...

Concubine Yuan glanced at Empress Zhou, and saw that Empress Zhou was still struggling, she bit her silver teeth and finally made a decision, "Brother Zhongyi, I am willing to invest in the shares. However, I don't have much money at the moment. Can I give me some time? I will raise some..."

"oh?"

"Is the Imperial Concubine going to increase investment? Very good. Of course, it can be. Changqing is always waiting for the Imperial Concubine to be the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Yuan couldn't help but feel happy and hurriedly bowed to Xu Changqing. Although her body was still here, her heart had long been unknown where she had flew.

This is the core reason why Xu Changqing left her behind.

On this side, seeing that Concubine Yuan had completely surrendered to Xu Changqing, Queen Zhou didn't know what it felt like.

At this time, she already understood that she couldn't even have enough fur to play with Xu Changqing...

However, to a large extent, Xu Changqing was already very frank and was leaving a way out for them.

On the contrary, who can do this with those royal relatives?

He couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Zhongyi, I am also joining. However, I also need some time to raise money."

...

Two beautiful mature women with noble identities left, Xu Changqing sipped a sip of wine in a scent and lit a bag of cigarettes comfortably.

The reason why he spent so much effort to bring Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan into the gang was that Xu Changqing seemed to be aimless.

The whaling industry is definitely an extremely promising industry at this time!

It's also a super violent industry.

Whales are treasures in their bodies, meat can be eaten, oil is the best lighting tool, and other bones, whales, etc. are also extremely valuable economic products.

In later generations, garbage diamonds can be fryed into "diamonds will last forever, and one will be passed down forever", not to mention a whale.

Not to mention anything else, the local market in the Ming Dynasty alone is already astronomical.

If you add Southeast Asia, island countries, and sticks, you can’t forget it. It’s definitely the best dumping product!

But this thing definitely needs publicity.

It's okay to be named Xu Changqing, but it's too deliberate after all, but if the word "royal family" is added, many things will be different.

At this time, the rituals and music were indeed collapsed, and the economy was sluggish. In many places, people were living in poverty, but there were still many wealthy families.

They are pursuing something, and what else is more attractive than the 'royal'?

More importantly, once Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan boarded his Xu Changqing's "pirate ship", then don't think about getting down again.

Just as Xu Changqing turned his thoughts to Nanjing and was about to think about the next plan, the door was suddenly knocked and the voice of Concubine Yuan came: "Uncle Zhongyi, are you still inside? I have some things to discuss with you..."

"Um?"

Xu Changqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The master thought it through so quickly. Go back and forth. After a moment, he got up and went to open the door.

When Concubine Yuan came in again, her pretty face turned redder for a moment.

She had already drunk some wine, which was much more charming than Wen Wan on weekdays, and became much more angry. At this time, this environment came to look for Xu Changqing secretly. The shyness, nervousness, embarrassment, and difficult-to-describe longing and expectation made her unable to help but be brighter.

The two of them sat down again, and Concubine Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Zhongyi, yes, that's right. I don't have much money now, I can only take out ten thousand taels. However, I still have some calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, and some antiques. I don't know if these can be converted into shares..."

"oh?"

"The Imperial Concubine has this preference? I wonder who the Imperial Concubine has calligraphy and paintings?"

Xu Changqing also became interested.

But it was not about Concubine Yuan’s calligraphy and paintings, but about her.

Emperor Chongzhen's three eldest wives, Concubine Tian, ​​died young. Xu Changqing had never seen him. Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan were all under Xu Changqing's control at this time.

Needless to say, Empress Zhou is the master of the mother's charity in the world.

According to the convention of choosing concubines in the Ming Dynasty, this is the true winner who will win the final victory from thousands of youths.

But if we really talk about it, Concubine Yuan is not much worse than Empress Zhou, and in some aspects, it is even better than that.

In fact, when it comes to their level, when choosing a court manager, it is no longer just about personal qualities, but more about luck.

It's like the top scorer in the exam.

I have been in China for thousands of years, and in all dynasties, except for those who are really top-notch and far suppressing everyone, there is also the top scholar who dares to say that I must be stronger than the first-class colleagues?

Sometimes it may be because of family background, sometimes it may be just because of a mole, which is better in Feng Shui, so the order is determined.

This is also a unique scenery in the Ming Dynasty.

In other dynasties, women's origins have been determined by their origins. Only the Ming Dynasty determined their belongings based on their true strength.

The Concubine Yuan in front of him was at first sight, and she didn't have much surprise, but the more she looked, the better she looked, and the more she looked, the more she became more and more attractive she was. Even Xu Changqing was a little surprised by the intellectual charm.

If she had changed her to a professional online outfit, it would have been absolutely nothing.

Concubine Yuan also noticed some strange things about Xu Changqing at this time, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red. She didn't dare to look at Xu Changqing anymore. Her snow-white teeth bit her tender red lips quite hard and said softly: "I, I have a face of Mi Fu's personal letter, a face of Li Qingzhao's poem, and a face of calligraphy and paintings of Yuan Haowen of the previous dynasty...

Uncle Zhongyi, I am not offering a random price. These are all things I have been carefully collected for more than ten years, just to have a way out. I don’t ask you for more than a few words. These three calligraphy and paintings, plus some jewelry items in my palace, can you convert them into 50,000 taels of silver for me..."

In the end, Concubine Yuan also let go and looked at Xu Changqing's eyes with anticipation.

The path Xu Changqing pointed out to her before has undoubtedly become her new hope, and she has taken out all her capital.

"this……"

Even Xu Changqing admired her courage for a moment.

If Concubine Yuan was placed in the peaceful years, they would definitely be priceless treasures, and 50,000 taels were absolutely worth it.

But as the saying goes, ‘gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times’, these things are worthless at this time…

That is, what she met Xu Changqing at this time. Otherwise, if she really got to the people, there would be no bones left that she could be cheated of.
