On the straight road outside Green Willow Villa, Ye Qi was dressed in a smart outfit, looking even more heroic.

Next to her was her vigorous Gaoyang horse, and another majestic tall horse carrying two large packages, one of which contained a spear that had been broken into three parts.

Pei Yue said sheepishly: "I'm going to have to make a hard trip for you this time."

Ye Qi smiled and said, "It's not hard. In fact, I didn't think carefully enough at the time. Otherwise, you should be more confident."

Pei Yue warned: "Everything must put your own safety first. If you encounter danger, don't fight with others, just come back directly."

Ye Qi blinked and said, "Don't believe in my ability? The young master of the Gu family is in the village. I can help you teach him a lesson."

Pei Yue shook his head quickly and said nervously: "Not today, I still have something to discuss with him. If you hurt him, I won't be able to do it."

"I thought you were really worried about him, Pei Yue, you are not afraid of being said..."

Ye Qi suddenly stopped talking.

Pei Yue asked innocently: "What did you say?"

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Ye Qi suddenly reached out and pinched his ears, laughing angrily: "You won't be happy if you don't tease me now, right?"

Pei Yue did not move away, although her movements were not fast. After she pinched his ears, he stretched out his hand to cover Ye Qi's palm and sighed: "Be gentle, don't make me deaf."

Ye Qi withdrew her hand helplessly, her face turned slightly red, and she turned around and said, "I'm leaving."

Pei Yue stopped joking and said seriously: "Remember my words, safety first!"

"I know, long-winded!"

Ye Qi waved his hand, jumped on the Gaoyang horse, and then led another horse towards the official road, going faster and faster.

Pei Yue looked at it for a moment, his expression a little complicated.

When he turned around, he saw Wang Yong leading five teenagers standing side by side. The expressions on their faces were very strange, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and were holding it in very hard.

"Wang Yong."

"Here, young master, please give me your instructions."

"Is it funny?"

Wang Yong looked at him anxiously, not knowing how to answer.

They didn't dare to speculate on the relationship between the young master and this girl Ye. They just saw the intimate behavior between the two with their own eyes, and at the same time, they rarely saw the youthful spirit in Pei Yue. They couldn't help but be surprised. Looking at Pei Yue's expressionless face at the moment

With a serious look on his face, Wang Yong, who had always been honest and responsible, did not dare to show his anger at the moment, with a gentle expression on his face that he was willing to be beaten and punished.

Looking at the shallow scar on the young man's cheek, Pei Yue softened his expression and walked towards the village first.

Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and called for others to follow him.

Although he did not embarrass them, before entering the main house, Pei Yue still warned: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

"yes!"

Today, the main hall of the main house is very lively. Five or six richly dressed young masters are sitting together and talking loudly. The man in the lead is colorfully dressed and looks very attractive. Naturally, he is Gu Fan, the good son of Hou Guliang of Guangping, who has defeated all the dandies in Kyoto.

Seeing Pei Yue's figure, Gu Fan immediately said loudly: "What are you doing mysteriously? Let me tell you clearly in advance, these guys are all very rich owners, and the biggest headache on weekdays is how to spend money.

, you must not neglect. If it weren't for your brother and me sitting here, believe it or not, they would have left long ago?"

Although there was a hint of complaint in his words, it immediately drew everyone's attention to Pei Yue.

He understood it, then bowed to everyone and said with a smile: "Pei Yue has met all of you brothers."

Everyone had different expressions, but for Gu Fan's sake, no one said anything weird and they all responded politely.

"Please take a seat."

Pei Yue walked to Gu Fan and sat down next to him with a cheerful expression on his face, and said to everyone: "After hearing what my brother said, I realized how little knowledge I have. I originally wanted to work as a disciple with all the brothers to earn some pocket money.

But I don’t think this is just me trying to save others, and I’m really sorry for wasting your time.”

In addition to Gu Fan, there are six seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys who came to Green Willow Manor today. Behind each of them is a noble mansion. Although not every family has someone who holds real power in the military, their only

What they have in common is that they have no shortage of money.

What's more important is that the families of these people are all veteran nobles who were the founders of the country, and together they have a very strong background.

These noble disciples were also sizing up Pei Yue. At first, they thought it was a bit ridiculous when they heard that a white-bodied commoner was coming to his home to discuss money-making plans. But with Gu Fan's personal assurance and hearing about Pei Yue's deeds from him, it became clear that

Only then did I become interested.

When they saw him now, not to mention Pei Yue's appearance, his calm and calm demeanor also amazed them.

Hearing what he said was funny, Sun Qi, who was born in Shanguo Gongfu, laughed and said: "Brother Pei, don't listen to Gu Fan's nonsense. Although we are not short of pocket money, no one will find money too hot. If you really have a suitable career, you might as well

Speak bluntly.”

"Yes, prices in Kyoto are getting higher and higher, so it is not an option to just sit back and have nothing."

"Isn't that true? Yesterday, I fell in love with an expensive stallion in Qibao Pavilion. Those desperate guys asked for five thousand taels of silver! Damn it, I'll smash their facade one day."

"Lu Mangzi, if you really have the courage, go and smash it later. I will recognize you as my eldest brother from now on!"

"Go away, who wants a woman like you who can fall down at the slightest hint of wind to be my younger brother?"

…

Pei Yue listened to their nonsense without being anxious, and always had a light smile on his face.

When their voices gradually became quieter, Pei Yue stood up and said: "To be honest with you brothers, my business is very profitable. If I tell you any lies, you can pick off my head and play it as a ball."

Sun Qi is the oldest and has broad experience. He is now in charge of part of the property of Shanguo Gongfu. He is no stranger to the ways of merchants. He said calmly: "One million profits? Brother Pei, it's not that I don't believe you, but most of the world's industries are involved in it."

, I have never seen this kind of business except those side businesses."

The young man known as Lu Mangzi smiled and said: "You are not planning to lead us to open a brothel, are you?"

Everyone laughed.

Pei Yue also smiled and said: "Brother, you are joking. If I open a brothel at this age, I am afraid I will be arrested by Kyoto Yin. Before talking about this business, I will give you some data first."

Although everyone has never heard of the unfamiliar word data, they can understand it literally.

Pei Yue felt a little emotional in his heart. Part of what he was going to talk about was spent a long time by Deng Zai. When he saw it before, he even thought that he might just let Deng Zai follow him as a full-time secretary in the future. After all,

It's hard to find such smart and capable people.

After suppressing his thoughts, Pei Yue spoke calmly under the gaze of all the powerful disciples.

"Brothers, you know, there are only more than 334,000 households in Kyoto and nearly one million people in the city. If you include the population outside Kyoto, this number is about 1.15 million, not including the Beijing army.

The three major camps and the garrison in the city."

"Every winter, millions of kilograms of refined charcoal are consumed in Kyoto and surrounding areas, but most families cannot afford it. Only wealthy families can afford to burn it. I cannot count the specific figures, but I know that the majority of Kyoto's population is

Most ordinary people face the problem of heating throughout the winter."

"Not to mention fine charcoal, even ordinary charcoal they can't use in large quantities, because these people don't have much money left at the end of the year. Without charcoal, they can only burn firewood, but how much firewood do they have to burn? As for how much firewood they have to burn?

That kind of coarse coal, not to mention the danger, not many people can tolerate the smell and smoke."

"In the first year of Kaiping, heavy snow fell in Kyoto for more than ten consecutive days in winter, and thousands of people froze to death. In the second year of Kaiping, last year, a large number of people also froze to death in and outside Kyoto. Although the court vigorously provided disaster relief, hundreds of thousands of people froze to death.

In the face of the amount, the money is still a drop in the bucket."

Pei Yue looked serious, and everyone became quiet, no longer laughing or cursing.

After Sun Qi pondered for a moment, he asked in disbelief: "Pei Yue, do you want to say that you have a way to come up with a cheap and easy-to-use heating device?"

Facing everyone's solemn gazes, Pei Yue nodded and said, "That's right."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. These young men were not the kind of people like Li Zijun who lived and drank. Most of them were involved in the management of the family business, and they did not lack basic business concepts.
