Chapter 164 A small fortune(1/2)

Fang Zheng carried the little princess on his back and wandered around the streets for a whole day. Finally, he successfully sold out the dozens of invitations in his arms. Of course, the people who bought the invitations were those who had money but no status.

Rich businessmen, judging from their delighted expressions, although the invitation of five thousand taels of silver is expensive, it is definitely worth it to them, because this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to establish relationships with the gentry, as long as they

If you have the ability and means, you won't have to worry about not being able to make connections. It's just like the high-society cocktail party in the previous life. Regardless of whether you know each other, as soon as you meet and clink glasses, you can chat a few words, promote, sell or even cooperate. Everything is possible.

, Benefits move people's hearts, this is true in ancient and modern times.

The annual flower viewing party held by the prince is all invited to officials in the court, new officials, or talented and learned people with great reputation among the people. This year's flower viewing party was made ridiculous by Fang Zheng.

But it was something the prince and his guests did not expect.

When they returned to the house, it was already time to turn on the lights. They didn't even eat dinner. They hurried back to the room and closed the door tightly. Fang Zheng and the little princess sat cross-legged and sat opposite each other on the bed.

The little princess's chubby little face was filled with impatience, and she kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up! Take it all out!"

Fang Zheng chuckled, reached into his arms, and took out a large stack of banknotes, with denominations ranging from one thousand taels to five thousand taels. The thick stack of banknotes was stacked between the two of them, exuding a soft and cordial atmosphere.

Silver light.

The two of them opened their mouths in confusion, staring dumbly at the pile of wealth that already belonged to them, and were stunned for a moment.

One is a noble little princess of the Hua Dynasty, and the other is the only son of the richest man in the Hua Dynasty. It would not be a big deal if they have never seen such a large amount of money, but it is just that they earned the money with their own hands, so the meaning is different.

The two set out in the morning and wandered around the streets. When they saw people dressed in rich and noble clothes, they stepped forward to sell them. They sang and sang in harmony. From the time the first banknote was received until all the invitations were sold out, there was no problem.

The two of them have experienced this process firsthand, so when they saw this pile of hard-earned money, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

Fang Zheng was the first to come to his senses and closed his mouth. He saw that the little princess was still staring at the banknote with gleaming eyes. Due to her uncontrollable emotions, a trace of crystal clear saliva was already flowing down her pink mouth, slowly dripping.

It fell on her cute little pink palace skirt.

Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a burst of contempt in his heart. This little money addict is only five years old, but he loves money so much. What will he do when he grows up?

"Hey! Little princess, little princess! Wake up!" Fang Zheng shook her shoulders, finally shaking the little princess to wake up when her mind was empty.

The little princess wiped her saliva nonchalantly, slapped her fleshy little palm hard, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Hurry! Share the money!"

I really wonder if this little guy was born in the wrong child. Looking at her appearance, I guess she may have a better future as a female bandit who sits on the ground and divides the stolen goods. After all, she has been gifted since she was a child, and she has shown her extraordinary talent for robbery.

.

"Little princess, you are still young. It is not safe to hold so much money. Why don't you leave it to me to keep it for you? I promise not to spend your money." Fang Zheng said with a salivating smile, trying to grab the food from the tiger's mouth.

The little princess glanced at him sideways, with a childish face, and said slowly: "...Although I am young, I am not stupid."

"…………"

After licking his fingers and sorting the banknotes of various denominations, Fang Zheng began to divide the loot.

"One for you, one for me, one for me, one for you, one for me, one for me..."

"Stop!" The little princess stared at him fiercely, clenching her fleshy little fists tightly, and her eyes were full of resentment: "You made a mistake! It's shameful to fool children, do you know?"

The little guy seems very sensitive when it comes to money-related matters...

Fang Zheng blushed secretly, and then quickly returned to normal, "That's right, it's like this..."

"You got an extra one!"

"...Then I'll divide it again."

"good."

"One for me, one for you, one for me, one for me..."

"No! Why are you like this!"

"Okay, I'll divide it again... one for you, one for me, and another for me..."

"It's wrong! If you do this again, I'll tell my sister to go!"

"…………"

"…………"

It took more than half an hour, and the two finally divided the spoils in a fair and reasonable way.

After counting, this business of reselling invitations was very profitable, with each person earning more than 80,000 taels. Fang Zheng no longer had to worry about having no money to spend in a short period of time, and he no longer had to dig around with embezzled public funds. The little princess also

His future dowry fee has added a lot, and both of them have gained something, and they are both happy. If there was champagne in this era, Fang Zheng really wanted to open a bottle to celebrate. It will not be easy to find such a cost-effective project in the future.

.

They each patted their bulging wallets, and the two money lovers looked at each other, smiled, and high-fived each other.

"Are you also going to attend the Prince's flower viewing party?" After the spoils were divided, the little princess returned to her innocent and lovely image, and there was no trace of her vicious and vicious shouting about sharing the money just now.

"Yes, I promised His Highness the Crown Prince to go, you can't break your promise." Fang Zheng said absently.

He was thinking about how to distribute this unexpected wealth. Yanran wanted to give her some settling-in allowance. After all, he was the head of the family. Xiaolu had to buy her an expensive gift. Sister Feng asked her if she still needed it.

If you are short of money to invest, why not go to Changping? Well, Changping has more money than me, so I won’t bother anymore...

"But... aren't all your invitations sold out? How do you get in to the flower viewing party?" the little princess asked curiously, blinking her big clear eyes.

"...Holy crap! Why didn't you remind me?"

"Why should I remind you? If you sell less invitations, won't I have to earn less than two thousand taels of silver?" The little princess smiled slyly, like a little fox who stole a chicken.

"…………"

-----------------------

After lunch the next day, Fang Zheng personally sent the little princess, who had returned home with a full load, to the palace.

When he returned home, he happened to encounter Wen Sen coming to report that on the day Princess Changping made a big fuss in the Pan Mansion, Wen Sen took advantage of the chaos and sent a few capable men to sneak into the Pan Mansion smoothly. He is currently waiting for news of their return.

"It's been several days, and they have been lurking in Pan's mansion?" Fang Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief. He originally thought that the so-called gathering information was just to find a hidden place, listen to it, and then run back to report.

, wasn’t this how it was played in movies and TV shows in previous lives? Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Wen Sen smiled and said: "Of course, time is tight, and there is no time to sneak in openly with the identities of the following people. The brothers can only act like mice, lurking in inconspicuous places. Once they encounter the patrolling guards, they will find a way.

Hidden well, it will be easier to handle after a few days and once you are familiar with the terrain."

"What if we are discovered?"

Wen Sen looked helpless: "If you can run, run away. If you can't, you will have to die in the line of duty. Moreover, the brothers have an agreement that they will never allow others to be implicated because they are discovered. Once discovered, they must find a way."

To distract the enemy, it is better to kill one person than to kill a group of people. However, it is generally not easy to be discovered. The most difficult thing to hide is the patrolling dogs. Those animals have particularly sharp noses and are the natural enemies of our industry."

Fang Zheng was shocked and said: "Dogs? Yes, why didn't I think of that? Then wouldn't our brothers be doomed if we go in?" High-ranking families all have guard dogs, ranging from a few to more than a dozen.

If you take him out for a walk, there is a high chance that your shadow subordinates will be discovered...

"It's not that serious." Wen Sen smiled and said: "Before the brothers went in, they applied a special potion on their bodies to numb the dog's nose. As long as the dog held its breath and didn't move around when it passed by, it would still be difficult to be discovered.

"

"What about them eating and going to the latrine?" Fang Zheng now realized that he didn't understand the nature of the work of these subordinates at all, and this boss was too unqualified.

"Before infiltrating, they all brought a little dry food with them. To relieve themselves, they should endure it as much as they could. If they couldn't bear it, they would have to find a deserted place as soon as possible. If they couldn't find a place, it was very common for them to defecate in their pants.

Anyway, the premise of everything is that you must not expose yourself." Wen Sen's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about the good weather today.

Wen Sen said with sadness: "...In the past, our group of old brothers totaled hundreds. At that time, if the emperor wanted to get any information, all he had to do was give an order. The brothers have never let the emperor down. Not anymore.

More and more brothers died in the execution of their duties, and in the end only a few dozen of us were left. It is not as easy for the Emperor to get any news now..."

After saying this, Wen Sen had a faint look of shame on his face, as if he felt guilty for not being able to share the emperor's worries.

Fang Zheng opened his mouth in surprise. He now realized that these dozens of shadows under him were a valuable group of espionage talents. He had never paid much attention to them before, always thinking that they were just trying to get information.

Anyone can do it. Nowadays, it seems that being a spy is not easy.

Patting Wen Sen's shoulder, Fang Zheng said in a deep voice: "I have decided that from today on, our shadow brother's monthly salary will be doubled again. No, let's just make up a round number, ten taels of silver per month! Done!

The bonus after the mission is calculated separately, and will not be less than fifty taels, with no upper limit. If a brother dies in the line of duty, our shadow will be responsible for supporting his family throughout his life."

Wen Sen was overjoyed when he heard this. He bent his knees and was about to prostrate himself, but Fang Zheng held him back: "Don't make these false moves, I don't like it."

Wen Sen's eyes turned red with gratitude, and he choked with sobs: "Those old brothers in my subordinates would like to thank Master Fang for your kindness! The brothers have followed you because we have been blessed in our previous lives. Don't worry, sir. From now on, the shadow brothers will go through fire and water for you.

Where..."

"Come on, save your breath." Fang Zheng interrupted him with a smile, "Don't show your loyalty to me. I'll be satisfied if every errand is done. Tell me, how is the construction of our base outside the city?

"

Wen Sen smiled and said: "It's almost finished, and people can move in within ten days. Sir, do we have to start recruiting new people? The emperor is urging us very urgently."

Fang Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, you go and do this right away. The first batch of five hundred people will be selected. People from all walks of life will be selected. Remember, the family background must be clean. If you check the three generations, those who are not clean will be selected."

, no matter how good the qualifications are, we can't ask for them. Each of the old brothers will take ten apprentices and train these people quickly. I will find a good teacher to teach them fighting skills. If someone discovers them in the future, they can't just do it.

Wouldn't it be better to grease the soles of your feet so that you can take action to kill the enemy?"

Fang Zheng felt that the shadow could not just be developed into an agency for gathering intelligence. How would that be different from the beggar gang in martial arts novels? After all, the beggar gang also had the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. He wanted to turn every member of the shadow agency into a spy agency.

The members are trained as ancient special forces, special talents with abilities such as lurking, spying, spying, stealing camps, and assassinations. If in the future, such a powerful force is in their hands, who will take to the streets to molest good women?

Can't you swallow your anger and accept the situation? If you dare to show your teeth, destroy him!

Wen Sengong claimed that it was so and wrote down Fang Zheng's instructions one by one.
