"You're back!"

When the matchmaker saw Li Yu appear in front of him, he said happily: "I guess it's time!"

She didn't know where Li Yu went, nor did she ask, but knew that Li Yu was different from ordinary people, and no matter what incredible things happened to him, she was used to it.

The first time I saw him, I wore weird clothes, looked very strange, and my accent and tone were also strange. What was even more strange was Li Yu's understanding of the world, as well as the things he got from somewhere, and the content written in the letter.

"Ask you something?"

Li Yu smiled: "If you have a lot of money, what are you going to do?"

He has three thousand taels of silver in his ring. How to deal with so much money needs to be carefully considered.

"Go to have a meal first!"

The matchmaker thought for a while: "Then go buy beautiful clothes, delicious food, and fun things..."

She was running around for her livelihood and never saw much money in her life. The more than thirty taels of silver she earned in selling things in the past two days were the most seen by the matchmaker.

After hearing this, Li Yu was speechless.

It seems that women like shopping, and it is not surprising that matchmakers think so.

After having dinner together and having a rest, Li and the four of them took a boat to Suzhou.

Suzhou, Nanzhili, has a prosperous economy and a developed culture. It has both a gathering of talents and a lot of beauties.

Among the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, there are three people named Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan who were born in Suzhou.

Li Yu only found out when he was looking for information, and he also found an amazing discovery.

Due to the rapid economic development of the Ming Dynasty, people had a great demand for silver, which made the value of silver very high, while the value of gold was relatively low. One tael of gold could be exchanged for five to eight taels of silver.

In Europe, one tael of gold can be exchanged for twelve taels of silver, which means that European silver can be used twice as much as possible in the Ming Dynasty, and if exchanged for gold, it can be earned more.

According to historical records, from 1590 to 1644, a total of 4,610 tons of silver flowed into the Philippines through the Pacific Ocean, and then from the Philippines to the Ming Dynasty. The cunning Europeans and Japanese people made huge wealth from the Ming Dynasty in vain.

Li Yu didn't expect that some people abroad had long targeted the loopholes of the Ming Dynasty's precious silver and gold, which were decades before him.

If you don't know, that's fine.

Since he knew, Li Yu would definitely not sit still.

He went to Suzhou, first, Suzhou's economy was developed, and there were many rich people, making it easier to make money; second, he wanted to convince relevant officials to prevent foreigners from going to the Ming Dynasty to get cheaper; third, he saw Chen Yuanyuan's peerless appearance, admired the literary style of Qinhuai's Eight Beauties, and by the way, he could see if he could help Dong Xiaowan.

I took a boat to Huaian Prefecture along the Huaihe River, and then headed south from the canal.

After taking the boat for four days, Li and the four finally arrived at their destination, Suzhou Prefecture.

Southern Zhili was the densest and richest in the Ming Dynasty, while Suzhou Prefecture accounted for one-fifth of the population, making it richest in the world.

Before going to Suzhou City, Li Yu found the Bai family's mother and daughter directly in a secluded room on the bank of Bantang River.

If Dong Xiaowan hadn't been too famous and had been passed down to later generations, Li Yu wouldn't have found her here.

At this time, Dong Xiaowan was still called Dong Bai, with a beautiful appearance, and an extraordinary temperament, and an extraordinary intelligence. She was very proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and needlework.

Li and the four of them suddenly came to the door, and Dong Bai and Bai were both very surprised.

Since Dong Bai's father died of illness two years ago, Bai's family was unwilling to stay in the old house in the city and continued to see things and miss others. They were sad and unforgettable, so they took their daughter to the Hetang to live in seclusion and entrusted the Dong family embroidery village with full authority to take charge of it.

"I heard that the Dong family embroidery shop is famous and came here to see it!"

Li Yu was prepared and said: "Because the amount is large, I am worried that the guy will come here specially!"

He was also worried that his friend had hollowed out the Dong family embroidery shop and caused Bai to fall ill. Now it seems that there is still a chance to turn it around.

After hearing this, Bai Shi went all suspiciously.

If it is a normal embroidery business, you can solve it by just looking for a friend. The transaction amount is large, so it is reasonable to come to them.

The most important thing is that Li Yu did not come alone, but brought the matchmaker and two children, obviously, not the bad guy.

Bai did not want to enter Suzhou City and remembered the sad past, so he asked Dong Bai to take Li and the four of them to the Dongjia Embroidery Village.

After coming out of the secluded room, Dong Bai looked at Li Yu thoughtfully: "Young Master, look at your appearance, you probably didn't come to buy embroidery. I'm right?"

Although Li Yu has a lot of money on him, his temperament is not like a merchant. If he really wants to buy embroidery, he doesn't have to find them, both mother and daughter.

"That's true!"

Li Yu nodded: "To be honest, I can't stand the treacherous villain bullying the orphan and widowed mother!"

One of his purposes was to help Dong Xiaowan and his daughter.

Since Dong Bai has seen the clue, there is no need for Li Yu to hide it from her.

"What's the meaning?"

Dong Bairuo had some understanding: "Young Master, are you saying that a villain bullies us?"

She is smart and clever, and can't guess Li Yu's intentions.

"As far as I know, since your father unfortunately died of illness two years ago, you mother and daughter have lived in seclusion in the secluded room and handed over the Dong family embroidery shop to the servant..."

Li Yu said calmly: "It has been two years now. I wonder if you have checked the account book of the embroidery shop?"

After pausing, he continued, "Aren't you afraid that your friends will empty all the Dong family embroidery shop?"

Li Yu didn't know whether it should be said that the Bai family's mother and daughter were big-hearted or stupid.

If the original plot develops, when the Bai family and his daughter want to close the Dong family embroidery shop soon, they will find that when the client settles the accounts, they not only have no silver left, but they have owed thousands of silver accounts outside.

"You're serious?"

Dong Bai said in a shocked voice: "How could this happen?"

She didn't care much about the matter of the Empression Village, as did Bai's family. How could he expect that the hearts of people in the world are so sinister?

"If you don't believe it, you can try closing the embroidery shop now!"

Li Yu said calmly: "You mother and daughter don't care about anything, what's the point of keeping them in the embroidery shop? It's better to sell them. If there is any change, you have money in your hands and rely on them!"

He didn't know how to do something about the embroidery shop. After thinking about it, he just bought it at a high price and sold it at a low price, or got two sets of account books. The specific situation can only be clear when going to the embroidery shop.

"It makes sense too!"

Dong Bai nodded: "It's just that you and I have never met each other. Why are you so clear about what happened in my family? What's the purpose of you asking me to sell my family's embroidery shop?"

She understood that Li Yu was right, but she didn't understand what he was doing.

"I saw unfairness on the road, and I would draw my sword to help me, and that wouldn't work?"

Seeing that Dong Bai obviously didn't believe it, Li Yu pondered for a moment: "I admire you. You are smart and beautiful, able to paint, and have both talent and virtue. I have admired you for a long time..."
