Chapter 36: They have never seen such a scene before. The people of Northern Qi are all going crazy!

The people of Northern Qi are all crazy!
In the eyes of the officials and people of Northern Qi, the fourth prince of Qing, who founded the "Seeking Truth Newspaper" and wrote those earth-shaking articles, was basically no different from a sage.

And now, this sage has released a shocking news: he has a business that makes money!
Although no one knows how the Fourth Prince of Qing did it, most people actually believe it.

The fourth prince of Qing Kingdom is a sage!

Would a saint cheat you out of your money? No way!
So when this news was released, the entire Shangjing City was instantly in an uproar.

A large number of people flocked to the God of Wealth Bank opened by the fourth prince of Qing Kingdom. No one wanted to miss this opportunity to get rich.

But the Northern Qi officials were much more reserved. They admired the Fourth Prince of Qing very much, but the idea of ​​money making money was too unbelievable!

They were not worried about not being able to get the money back after depositing it, after all, the God of Wealth Bank was guaranteed by the Fourth Prince of Qing.

What if I don’t get the deserved profit after five days, wouldn’t it be a false alarm?
Compared with the Northern Qi officials, the Jinyiwei Zhenfusi was more cautious about this matter.

No matter how profound the Fourth Prince of Qing's literary attainments are, he is from an enemy country after all, and the Imperial Guards must be careful about everything he does!
"Commander-in-chief, isn't this too outrageous of the Fourth Prince of Qing? He can double his income in just five days!"

The captain of the Zhenfu Division couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He had never seen a business with such high profits.

"The brothers below are all a little itchy. Who wouldn't be jealous of so much money? Don't you think so?"

Shen Zhong dressed like a wealthy man and glanced at the captain calmly, "Keep your people under control. No one from the Pacification Bureau can participate in this business!"

"If I catch you, you know the consequences."

The commander of the Pacification Division quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Yes, I will definitely explain the pros and cons to them."

Shen Zhong emphasized once more, "Although the income given by the Fourth Prince of Qing is quite high, who knows what he is doing behind the scenes?"

The commander of the Pacification Division couldn't help but open his mouth to defend himself, "I heard that the Fourth Prince is still selling lottery tickets and two-color cards in the capital of Qing Kingdom. The profit can be multiplied many times the next day!"

Shen Zhong laughed when he heard this. "I've also studied his lottery ticket. It's no different from gambling. It's impossible for ordinary people to make money through lottery tickets."

The commander of the Pacification Division nodded and said, "Your Excellency the Commander has considered everything very carefully. This subordinate has really been enlightened!"

Shen Zhong smiled with great satisfaction, and then asked, "Has anyone taken out the money?"

The commander of the Pacification Division was stunned for a moment, then he understood, smiled knowingly, and said, "To reply to the commander, those people have received the benefits!"

Logically speaking, the Fourth Prince of Qing should go to the palace to meet the Emperor of Northern Qi after arriving in Shangjing City.

But he directly booked the most luxurious inn and stayed there for five days. His Majesty the Emperor was not in a hurry and did not send anyone to call the Fourth Prince of Qing to the palace.

This strikes many people as strange.

However, Shen Zhong felt that the emperor probably wanted to see whether that money-making business actually existed.

Now five days have passed, and we can see the final results.

"All taken out?" Shen Zhong was a little confused. How did the Fourth Prince do it?
The commander of the Zhenfu Division nodded quickly and said, "Today, many people went to the Caishen Bank to withdraw money.
It was exactly as it was written on the wooden sign, everyone got two taels of silver!"

In fact, these people all believed in the Fourth Prince from Qing Kingdom and they all wanted to save more.

But the fourth prince said that money can only be saved according to the corresponding level.

"And the Fourth Prince also said that the more money you invest and the longer you invest, the higher your returns will be!"

Shen Zhong was somewhat tempted.

If only one tael of silver became two taels, it would be of no use to him at all.

But what if one hundred thousand taels became two hundred thousand taels?
Then he will definitely take advantage of the Fourth Prince!
After all, no one would think that gold and silver were too much. "Tell me in detail." Shen Zhong's eyes were anxious, and he seemed a little impatient.

The commander of the Zhenfu Division told him all the information he knew, "There are several levels of returns for saving money."

"The lowest level is one tael of silver, which can be turned into two taels of silver in a bank in five days."

"The slightly higher level is 100 taels, which will take at least 15 days to double. If you save it for a month, it will become 500 taels!"

"The highest tier is to deposit a minimum of 100,000 taels, and you can get a return of 50,000 in a month!"

"But there is no upper limit for this level. If you deposit one million, you can get a return of 500,000!"

After hearing these words, Shen Zhong's frown suddenly relaxed. This was right!

The returns for each level are different. Although the more you invest, the more you earn.

But if we all follow the logic of one ounce becoming two ounces,

The Fourth Prince simply cannot earn that much money to distribute as profit to those who deposited the money!
For a person like him, it was easy to earn two thousand taels with one thousand taels in a month.

But the more capital you have, the harder it is to double it.

Of course, it is also possible that the Fourth Prince can still earn twice as much money, but the portion he takes out is only half of the profit, and the other half is taken by the Fourth Prince.

This is quite reasonable!

How much money can those poor guys scrape together?

If you really want to gather a large amount of funds to make money, you still have to rely on the last one!
Although Shen Zhong still didn't know how the Fourth Prince made so much money, this didn't stop him from participating and making money together!

He doesn't care how money is made.

Anyway, as long as there is a high return, that’s fine!
But the key problem is that one hundred thousand taels of silver is not easy for him, the commander of the Pacification Division, to get!

The fastest way is to cash in all the valuable cultural calligraphy and paintings at home.

But where can I find a buyer?

If we take half a year to find a buyer, the Fourth Prince might have returned from Shangjing City by then.

Can the money houses still have such high returns?
So if you want to make money, you must participate as soon as possible!

Of course, he actually has another choice...

"It's just one month. I'll stop when I make some money and make up for all the losses!"

Shen Zhong immediately made up his mind that he planned to temporarily borrow the funds allocated by the court to the Pacification Office.

Of course, he definitely couldn't go in person to deposit such a large sum of money, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.

So Shen Zhong called his daughter and asked her to find the fourth prince of Qing Kingdom for investment.

Seeing that the person coming was Shen Zhong's daughter, Si Lili immediately smiled, "Your Highness, Shen Zhong is here to deposit money as well."

"Oh?" Li Chengde opened his eyes, his lips curled up slightly, "Very good, since he is a customer, I can't turn him away. I will accept all the money no matter how much it is."

"Then...it's time for me to go to the palace to meet the little empress of Northern Qi!"
