Chapter 139: The most profitable ticket

Wang Family Courtyard.

Among the three brothers of the Wang family, the eldest Wang Yu is a businessman, and the second Wang Hua is the prosecutor of Datong Mansion. The two have already married. Wang Ju married Yao and also sang a song in his early years. The second Wang Hua married a ninth-rank governor of Taiyuan Mansion. Although his rank is not high, he is considered a lady from a family of officials.

Fortunately, the Wang family has been doing business for generations and does not respect Confucianism, nor does it respect Neo-Confucianism. Otherwise, with the origins of Yao and Chen Yuanyuan, it would be impossible for them to marry into the Wang family, let alone be as noble as Yao family.

Because of his similar background, since the day Chen Yuanyuan walked into the Wang family compound, he has received special care from Yao. If there is anything delicious or fun, Yao will definitely bring Chen Yuanyuan with him.

At this moment, Yao was having a family chat with Chen Yuanyuan in the warm room.

Chen Yuanyuan has been pregnant for seven months and her belly is already very high.

Yao took Chen Yuanyuan's hand and complained: "The third brother is really good. He has taken care of the war and took the young lady away, but he didn't find another maid for you? Our Wang family cannot afford to hire anyone. Besides, you are seven months pregnant, so how can you not have a maid to serve you?"

"It's okay, sister-in-law." Chen Yuanyuan said softly, "I didn't let him find it."

"No, I have such a big belly, no one can take care of me." Yao said firmly, "From tomorrow, I will let Lian'er come to your room to serve me."

Chen Yuanyuan wanted to refuse, but Yao said without hesitation: "This matter is decided, sister-in-law is the decision."

Chen Yuanyuan said helplessly: "Then, Yuanyuan thanked her sister-in-law."

"What are you thanking, you are all your family." Yao reached out and touched Chen Yuanyuan's belly, and smiled, "Oh, look at your belly. You must be a big fat boy. Second Master is a scholar. I'll ask Second Master to name the child tomorrow."

The two were talking when Wang Ze, who was just ten years old, suddenly jumped in and ran in, shouting happily: "Mom, Aunt San, Uncle San is back."

Wang Ze is Wang Ju's only son and the eldest grandson of the Wang family.

As soon as Wang Ze finished speaking, Wang Pu stepped into the warm pavilion.

Yao stood up and complained, "Third brother, you are really. Yuanyuandi has been pregnant for seven months. Why don't you find her a maid?"

"Yes, yes." Wang Pu quickly responded, "Sister-in-law taught me a lesson. I will turn around and find a maid for Yuanyuan."

"Okay, the third brother is back, so sister-in-law won't disturb your young couple's intimacy." Yao took a few steps to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "By the third brother, your elder brother has been thinking about Jiangnan for the past few days. I don't know which vixen is waiting for him in Jiangnan. He is almost crazy. Take some time to go over and see him."

"Okay." Wang Pu hurriedly said, "I'll go over when I turn around."

Yao smiled and said, "Then you chat, sister-in-law will leave first."

After Yao took Wang Ze away, Wang Pu turned around and grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's little hand. His eyes also became softer than ever before, and he said slowly: "Madam, I haven't been home for more than half a month. Don't you blame me?"

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Wang Pu affectionately and shook her head gently.

"Honey, where is the young lady? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"That little girl, she's in the outside."

"Why don't you let her in?"

"Cough..." Wang Pu said embarrassedly, "I am a couple saying private words. How can that little girl listen?"

Chen Yuanyuan smiled sweetly and said, "As sooner or later, young mother is from the public room, so why should she avoid suspicion?"

"Well, this..." Wang Pu said, "Isn't this raw rice cooked yet?"

Chen Yuanyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why don't I let my young mother come in now and cook the raw rice into a cooked rice?"

"Okay, you little hoof." Wang Pu pretended to be angry, "You dare to tease your husband. Let me see how I deal with you."

As he said that, Wang Pu reached out to pinch Chen Yuanyuan's thighs. Chen Yuanyuan was afraid of itching, especially Wang Pu's thighs. His legs became weak at that time and he smiled and said, "Good luck, my husband, I dare not."

Wang Pu gently hugged Chen Yuanyuan into his arms, suddenly sighed and said apologetically: "Madam, it's really hard for you. Since you followed me, I have been busy fighting and fighting around. I rarely have time to accompany you at home. This period of time has really made you wronged..."

"My husband, I don't feel wronged." Chen Yuanyuan raised her delicate face from Wang Pu's arms and said affectionately, "Really."

A strange tenderness slowly surged in Wang Pu's heart. Chen Yuanyuan was not only beautiful, but also rarely understood. The first thing she thought of was Wang Pu, and then herself. She loved Wang Puyuan more than herself. What else would she want to expect when she met such a woman in her life?

"Oh, by the way." Chen Yuanyuan suddenly remembered what Yao said just now and said softly, "Sister-in-law just said that my brother has been waiting for you these days, so there must be something important. You should go there quickly. I happened to ask someone to prepare the wine and food, and wait for you to come back to have it together in the evening."

"I'll go here now." Wang Pu came over and kissed Chen Yuanyuan's red lips gently, and said softly, "Wait for me to come back."

"Yeah." Chen Yuanyuan nodded softly, and a smile suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said, "Can you let the young lady come in now?"

"Ten Madam." Wang Pu raised his head and shouted to the outside, "Madam, let you come in."

"Here you come."

The tender girl responded crisply from the outside. Amid the tiny footsteps, the tender girl who had already changed into red makeup had already entered the inner room with a gust of fragrance. The little girl bowed to Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan, and smiled sweetly, "I have seen the general and the wife."

Chen Yuanyuan waved and signaled her mother to sit next to her. The two women held hands and started whispering.

Wang Pu wanted to stay and listen to what they said, but they seemed to ignore him, so they left the warm chalet in disappointment and rushed to the yard of his elder brother Wang Judi.

When Wang Pu entered the house, Wang Ju was frowning and smoking a dry tobacco, while Yao was lighting a cigarette for him with a fire twister.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

Wang Pu greeted him.

"Oh, third brother, you are here." Wang Ju quickly stood up from the chair, stopped smoking, and said excitedly, "Sit down, sit down quickly."

"Then you two are chatting."

Yao knew that the two brothers had something to talk about, so they stepped out very tactfully.

Wang Pu said: "Brother, I'm here to apologize to you today."

Wang Ju said: "It's all my brothers, why are you punished?"

Wang Pu said: "It is said that Xiaoqi should have accompanied you to Jiangnan long ago. But brother, you have also seen it. First, he used troops to Mongolia, then thieves to cause trouble, and finally Jiannu attacked the pass. The war is in chaos. Now it is not the time, and Xiaoqi and the others are really unable to get rid of it."

"I know, brother knows." Wang Ju nodded repeatedly. "There is no rush to go to Jiangnan."

Wang Pu said: "But it's soon. At most, you can leave for Jiangnan in half a month."

"Oh?" Wang Ju said happily, "So you already have a way to deal with Jiannu from outside the city?"

Wang Pu said: "Just 500,000 kilograms of nitro earth have just been transported into the city. In a maximum of five days, the Gunpowder Bureau can produce 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder. With the ammunition in the firearm, the Jiannu outside the city is not afraid! Also, I have formed an alliance with the bandits from Leigong Mountain to deal with Jiannu. This time, the tens of thousands of Jiannu who stayed in Datong are doomed."

"The third brother." Wang Ju frowned, "Isn't it that the elder brother said you, isn't it too hasty to form an alliance with the thieves? Let's not talk about what the court and Long Sui Ye would think if they knew about it? If the censors in the court were asked to write your book, you wouldn't be able to take it away; and, he is a thief who robbed the family, can you believe it?"

"Brother, don't worry." Wang Pu smiled, "The court and the young master of Long Sui have their own way to deal with it. As for the thief, hehe, when did you see me suffer a loss?"

Wang Ju thought for a while and nodded, "This is because I have seen you make a profit since I was a child. I would say that when I was a 11th year of the Chongzhen gang, everyone else lost their official positions and beheaded the heads. But the third brother, you have been promoted several levels in a row. Hehe, I have never seen you suffer any losses after so many years."

Wang Pu said: "Brother. In the next few days, I will probably be busy fighting with Jiannu again. I may not have time to discuss with you. Taking advantage of the time now, brother, you might as well tell me about your plans after you arrive in Jiangnan? How do you plan to use that amount of money?"

Wang Ju said: "The most profitable business in the world is nothing more than salt transportation and silk tea. The salt is controlled by the government, and the Silk Road and Tea Road are controlled by the Zhejiang merchants and Hui merchants, our Wang family has no foundation in Jiangnan and is not familiar with the place. It is difficult to open up the situation."

"No, you are wrong, brother." Wang Pu said, "The most profitable deal in the world is neither salt transportation nor silk tea, but ticket numbers."

"Pie No.?" Wang Ju said in surprise, "What is a Pie No.?"

Wang Pu said: "Brother, you always know the money shop?"

"I know this." Wang Ju said, "Isn't the money shop just a money shop? People use silver to exchange copper coins, or exchange copper coins for silver, and the money shop makes some difference from it. There are several money stalls at the intersection of the East Street, all of which are doing this business, but it seems that they can't make much money?"

Wang Pu said: "Of course you can't make money by making such a small fuss."

Wang Ju said: "Then I don't understand. Can this money shop still play big?"

"Why can't it?" Wang Pu asked back, "Brother, you are a businessman. In the Taiping Nianjing, you often go to Jiangnan to sell silk and tea. What are the biggest inconveniences when you are in business?"

Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "The biggest inconvenience is that it is too unsafe to carry too much cash in the land."

"That's right." Wang Pu said, "If there are two money houses in Nanjing and Datong, brother, you deposit the money in Datong's money house, and then Datong's money house will issue a bill for you. If you bring this bill to Nanjing, you can spend the money you deposited in Datong from the money house in Nanjing. Do you think it's convenient?"

"Huh?" Wang Ju scratched her head and said, "If this is really a good thing, it would be a blessing for businessmen all over the world."

Wang Pu said: "You deposit money from a certain place and then spend money on the ground in another place. This is called exchange in another place. Such a money bank is called a bill number. That bill is called a silver bill. You can go to the whole country to trade with that bill. Do you think it is convenient? If the money bank wants to collect one percent of your transfer, would you like it?"

"I am willing, of course I am willing." Wang Ju said, "What is one percent of the water flow? If you escort the cash on the road, the risk is great. Just hiring the escort and the escort guards will require a lot of money. There is also the food and drink of the escort landlords, mules, and camels. It is also a considerable expense. If you really have the ticket number you mentioned, you have a reliable reputation. Who would not want to deposit the money into the ticket number? But how much money can the escort earn by 1%?"

Wang Pu said: "Brother, don't underestimate this one-percent convergence. The Ming Dynasty merchants were all over the world, the silk from Jiangnan, the tea from Fujian, and the medicinal materials from Yunnan. These are all best-selling goods sold in Jiuzhou Wanfang. The annual payment for goods is hundreds of millions of yuan, and one percent is taken from them, which is millions of taels!"

Wang Ju said: "The third brother, will this happen? For example, if the bill number in a certain place only comes to deposit the silver, but does not withdraw the silver, while the bill number in another place only comes to deposit the silver, but no one comes to deposit the silver, then we have to transfer the silver between the bill number and risk the silver being robbed?"

"No." Wang Pu said, "We had abundant products in the Ming Dynasty, and all the localities have local characteristics. For example, Jiangnan produces silk and tea, but there is no sorghum and vinegar there. Shanxi produces sorghum and vinegar, but there is no porcelain, Jiangxi produces porcelain but no medicinal materials, Yunnan produces medicinal materials but no silk. Therefore, if there are merchants from here to where to do business, there will inevitably be merchants from where to where to do business. The silver only comes in and out of the bills in various places, and generally, there is no need for large-scale adjustments between places."

"It seems to make some sense." Wang Ju rubbed her head and said. "I have to think about this, I have to think about it."

Wang Ju came from a family of merchants and had a very businessman's mind. After Wang Pu's slightest attempt, he had already understood the tricks. However, it was difficult for him to fully accept this new thing for a while. When he recovered, he would definitely discover the great benefits and praised it.

Wang Pu said: "Of course, brother, you don't have to worry at the beginning. You can use that amount of money to open ticket numbers in major cities such as Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, etc., first get familiar with the tricks. When you become familiar with the ways, the strength of the ticket numbers will also grow. Then open the semicolons to Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Kunming."

"The third brother." Wang Ju asked suddenly, "How did you know this idea?"

Wang Pu said: "When I returned to the Ming Dynasty, I rescued two Western ghosts from the sea, which were told by those two Western ghosts."

Wang Pu Warm Pavilion.

Chen Yuanyuan and Neng Niang talked to Wang Pu and suddenly asked, "Neng Niang, are you and your husband... that?"

The young mother's pink face turned red in an instant, and her head drooped to her crispy face, and she said shyly: "Madam, what do you want me to say?"

Chen Yuanyuan is a experienced person, and you will know it when you see the young lady's expression.

Although Wang Pu and Neng Niang were slutty all day long, they never took the pretty girl Neng Niang away.

Chen Yuanyuan was a little happy and a little sad. She was happy because Wang Pu was deeply in love with her. Even the pretty little maid, such a pretty and lovely girl, was not moved at all. She felt sorry for Wang Pu's body. Dad Li said that if Wang Pu had no women to serve him for a long time, he would get sick.

Chen Yuanyuan was anxious to ask Wang Pu to take her young mother, but she didn't want Wang Pu to get sick.

Of course, if Wang Pu really takes over the young mother, Chen Yuanyuan will still be a little jealous. Although she is understanding and generous, she is still a woman after all. As long as she is a woman, she will have the nature of being jealous.

But Chen Yuanyuan was a woman who lived in the late Ming Dynasty after all. This era was a typical patriarchal era. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. In addition, Chen Yuanyuan was born in a fairyland and was kind by nature. She knew how to be content and cherish her. She never thought of being a regular house, nor did she think of being a special partner.

"Ten Mom." Chen Yuanyuan gently pulled Ten Mom's little hand and said softly, "Dad Li said that if my husband had not served her for too long, he would get sick."

The young lady lowered her head, dared not look at Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, and said shyly: "But General... Little Maid..."

"Don't worry." Chen Yuanyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I blame me for this, but I will guarantee that you will get what you want tonight."
