The eldest brother, uncle, and uncles all left, leaving only the second prince Changxian.
Everyone "generously donated" and invested "money" one after another, but Chu Qing didn't see any money.
Chu Qing sat in the main hall and began to doubt life.
There are those who make monthly payments, those who offset their accounts, those who borrow chickens to lay eggs, and those who have to borrow money from their own fathers. They are a bunch of shameless people. In fact, they didn't get a penny, and they all "invested" in the company.
Changxian didn't have that much trouble. He fully supported Chu Qing. It didn't matter whether he lost or made money. He didn't care. The only problem was that he had no money!
"These people are too stingy." Chu Qing scolded his mother angrily.
Changxian on the side wanted to slap his chest and shout "I don't pick," but unfortunately... he had no money.
Generally, people who don’t have money don’t dig.
Chu Qing was getting upset when Jiang Yuesheng said cautiously: "Sir, the general suddenly remembered something."
"What's up?"
"I am not yet married. In a few days, I may meet the woman I like. I gave you the 10,000 yuan yesterday. Can I..."
"roll!"
Jiang Yuesheng touched his nose and remained silent.
He has great confidence in Chu Qing when it comes to making money.
But now, he has no confidence, because he feels that those ministers, ministers, wealthy businessmen, princes and young masters just now don't seem to have confidence in Chu Qing.
Chu Qing sighed.
Fortunately, there are only two workshops and they don't cost much. Since I haven't raised any money, I can only wait for the auction to cheat others and use it as start-up capital.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing became upset again.
You didn't get a penny, but you still gave out a lot of shares. What's this?
I can't figure it out. When we were trying to get Zhang Songling, everyone didn't hesitate at all. How much money could we get? Now we want to make money together as a partnership, but instead we're just playing this game?
The depressed Chu Qing went to eat, but in the afternoon, something happened that confused him.
One bank note after another was delivered to the Qianqiying Yamen Office.
Tao family's fifteen hundred guan, Zhong Yu and Gongsun Tang's three thousand guan, Liu Xun's one thousand guan, Ma Rui's two thousand guan, Qiu Wanshan's five thousand guan, Tan Zhongping's one thousand guan, Fu Youcai's
One hundred thousand guan, even Tao Shaozhang had people send him 227 guan and 116 wen.
In the class room, there were banknotes placed on the desk. Chu Qing and Fu San stared at them with big eyes.
Both of them were confused and looked at each other.
The door to the class room was pushed open, and Chen Laojiu, who had not been seen for a long time, walked in.
"Where did you get such money?" Chen Laojiu saw the banknotes as soon as he came in, and his face was filled with joy: "How quickly did you raise the food and salary for the explorers?"
"No, someone else sent it."
Jiang Yuesheng also walked in and recounted what happened today in a few words.
"I see." Chen Yan sat down slightly disappointed: "I thought I had food and salary."
Chu Qing scratched his forehead: "It's strange. If you can send money, why didn't you just say it directly instead of beating around the bush?"
"What's so surprising about this?" Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Do you know why these adults generously donated their money during the fight against Zhang Songling some time ago, but today you want to do business, but each one of them has become a pocket?
Shy."
Chu Qing shook his head: "I don't know."
"Let me ask you, if you heard that a certain courtier contacted several lords, ministers, ministers, Shaoqing, the chief scholars, and wealthy businessmen in the capital, to work together to do some business, and said that the profit could be ten times the profit, what would you do?
Think about it.”
The words woke up the dreamer, and Chu Qing's expression changed drastically: "This guy is bragging and wants to form a party!"
"good."
Chen Yan put away his smile and said seriously: "If these people give out money today with all their promises, then once this matter reaches the ears of the courtiers and the emperor, they will harm you."
Cold sweat ran down Chu Qing's forehead, and his face showed fear.
Chen Yan continued: "When you inspected the merchants a few days ago, you learned that many merchants are backed by aristocratic families or courtiers. I wonder if you have noticed that aristocratic families and aristocratic families, and courtiers and courtiers, rarely engage in joint ventures to run industries."
"Yes, I remembered what you said. Logically speaking, we should make money together, but I have never heard of such a thing."
"Yes, it is precisely because I am afraid of being criticized by others and leaving others to talk about it. This is a rule. It is not written in Chang's Law. It cannot be seen or touched, but it is a rule that everyone must abide by."
Chu Qing still didn't understand: "But the aristocratic families are getting married. You and I are the same, and we are almost close relatives. If we can get married, why can't we do business together?"
"Marriages do exist, they have existed since ancient times, but you must not forget that most of the so-called marriages are the sons of the master's family marrying the distant branch of a branch with a foreign surname. In addition, it is the young lady of the master's family marrying a branch of a branch with a foreign surname. Let's talk about Zhang Songling.
Qiu Wanshan and Qiu Wanshan, these two people are from the side branch, neither favored nor respected, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are stepping in the door, you know why."
Chu Qing shook his head.
Chen Yan explained patiently: "If one day your Chu family spreads its branches, and there is a descendant from a distant branch, who is favored by the princess for his talent and beauty, as the head of the Chu family, will you let this descendant marry the princess?"
"They are in love, so let's get married. What does it have to do with me? I'm not the one marrying them."
Chen Yan laughed loudly: "This is what makes you unusual, my dear brother. But in this world, at least in Changjing, you are the only one named Chu Qing."
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Yan looked at Fu San: "Brother Fu San, if you are the head of the Fu family, and the Fu family has a great cause, one day..."
Fu San shook his head.
Chen Yan looked at Chu Qing and said with a smile: "Did you see that even he knows not to let his descendants marry the princess?"
Fu San interrupted: "No, I mean, my surname is not Fu."
Chen Yan: “…”
Chu Qing looked confused: "Your surname is not Fu?"
"Yes, how can a young man be named Fu? I have never heard of blessed people."
"If your surname is not Fu, why are you called Fu San?"
Fu San scratched the back of his head: "I don't know. People around me call me Sanzi since I was little. My mother said I am a lucky person, so everyone calls me Fu San. I get used to it."
"Then what's your father's last name?"
"My father died before the little one was born. My mother said that my father was a good-for-nothing Qiu Ba. If I didn't take his surname, I wouldn't be allowed to mention him. My mother called me San'er."
"Then what are your eldest and second brother's last names?"
"The younger one doesn't have any older brothers."
"No, you don't have an elder brother or a second brother..." Chu Qing continued to be confused: "Then why are you called San'er?"
"My mother said that my father was a third-person, so she called him Lao San. If I was a son, I would call him Xiao San."
Chu Qing: "..."
Fu San was also confused: "Isn't it right to call it that?"
Chu Qing was extremely impressed: "That's absolutely right."
Chen Yan couldn't laugh or cry: "Talk about serious things."
Chu Qing: "Oh, yes, serious things, you tell me."
Chen Yan raised his eyebrows: "According to what Brother Fu said, I should be called Xiaosi. The Supreme Emperor is the fourth brother, hahahaha."
