A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Dou Zhi is a strange maid. She said early on that she didn't want to get married and just wanted to make money, and then she just sat there and waited to die without doing anything.

Dou Shaodong's family felt that it was not good to live such a life as a Taoist nun, so they tried to persuade her several times. Seeing that she had made up her mind, they agreed to let her redeem her life when she turned 40 and give her a big village to support her in her old age.

However, Dou Zhi said that she could have a big village, but there was no need to redeem her. After all, she relied on the Dou family to make a living, and she was a woman with a big village, so she could easily be plotted.

"Yes, I will take care of it now." Seeing that Dou Shaodong's family wanted to be deceived, Dou Zhi said nothing more and quickly packed up her things and prepared the carriage.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, Dou Shaodong's family sat in a comfortable carriage and rushed to Qingfu Town.

After arriving in Qingfu Town, they were stopped by Zezi: "Dou Shaodong's family, our young master and the young master are both at Mr. Ouyang's house. Please come with me."

When Dou Shaodong's family heard this, they were extremely happy and said to Dou Zhi: "You still said that Gu lied to me? Look, these business discussions are all arranged in Mr. Ouyang's house, how can it be fake?"

Dou Shaodong's family was extremely happy and curious. What kind of big deal could benefit three generations?

Dou Zhi lowered his head and said, "I am short-sighted. The young master is right."

"Humph." After hearing this, Dou Shaodong's family was very proud and said to Zezi, "Lead the way."

It's a pity that as proud as he is now, he will collapse later.

…

In the study room in the front yard of Mr. Ouyang's house, Dou Shaodong's family looked at the people in the room, and they were all stunned: "Are you crazy? Do you have a grudge against money?! It has nothing to do with your grudge against money, but This young master has no grudge against Qian, can you please don't involve me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Jinli and said, "This bad idea must have come from you. I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you...to be so stupid! This is the whole matter of Dachu, and it only relies on the money of our family." I just want to save the people of Dachu, hahaha, it’s better to dream and come faster!”

Dou Shaodong's family was so angry that they were about to explode. What he said was already a righteous word. If it weren't for the sake of the young marquis, his degrading words would have made Gu Jinli commit suicide on the spot.

Gu Jinli glanced at him and said, "I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You couldn't even understand what you said. It's really hopeless."

Dou Shaodong's family almost vomited blood: "You came up with your own bad idea and deceived my young master's family. You still call my young master's family stupid. Is there any justice?!"

Then he sneered and said: "What kind of favor for three generations, both money and fame? It is obviously a loss-making business for three generations of poor people. I still want to get my young master to do it together. I thank you. You can play by yourself, don't take me."

When Mr. Ouyang saw that Dou Shaodong's family was angry, he said to him: "Little Douzi, please don't be angry yet. Let Xiaoyu girl finish what she has to say."

Although Dou Shaodong was angry and spoke as if he wanted to kill someone, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat down and looked at Gu Jinli... After all, she was the young Marquis's unmarried daughter-in-law, so he had to give her face.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Gu Jinli said, "If this thing is done, it will indeed benefit three generations and gain both money and fame. I'm not lying to you about this."

Dou Shaodong's family: "But this is a loss-making business, it is not profitable, and if you want it to be successful, you have to invest hundreds of thousands of taels of silver first, and then you have to keep adding more money. It is a bottomless pit. Although my family is an emperor, Shang, but not the treasury, and I don’t have the final say in the Dou family.”

Gu Jinli: "This business is not a loss. Although I spent money on it first, I can still make profit every month."

Speaking of interest, Shaodong Dou's family wanted to cry: "The interest of up to one hundred pence a month is so much that people want to kill themselves!"

You can tell, one hundred pence a month in interest is enough for what? Not to mention him, even the maid Dou Zhi's meal cost more than one hundred cash.

Huh huh huh, Dou Shaodong exhaled a few breaths and told himself that he could not be angry, it would not be worth it to be so angry.

Gu Jinli: "Farmers have no way to make money. The interest of one hundred cents a month is enough. Over the past year, each household's interest will be more than one tael of silver, which is quite a lot. Collect it If you work for ten or twenty years, you can still make a lot of money."

It takes ten or twenty years of interest payments to get back the original investment. Is this a human saying?

Dou Shaodong's family almost cried with anger, but this was not the point. He pointed to the contract on the table and said: "It says that if the interest collected exceeds 20% of the principal, the farmer will be deemed to have To pay off the debt owed, the bank shall return the IOU and shall not charge any more interest or principal.”

Dou Shaodong's family wanted to kill someone with a knife: "Borrow money, you don't even need the principal, you just charge interest, are you doing business? You might as well open a charity!"

Aren’t people named Gu good at doing business? Why are you so stupid this time?

Gu Jinli said: "You are smarter than anyone else in calculating accounts. You know very well that this transaction is not a loss. According to the contract, not only can the principal be recovered, but we can also get 20% more interest. Why not? It’s just that it will take a little longer to get the money back.”

"It's not just longer, it's too long!" Dou Shaodong's family knew that this transaction was not a loss in the end: "But having to wait for ten years to recover the principal is simply killing me. No, no, it's such a loss. , I don’t do this kind of business.”

Gu Jinli smiled and asked, "No? You don't want to inherit the Dou family?"

Dou Shaodong's family frowned and looked at Gu Jinli: "What do you mean?"

Gu Jinli said: "The Dou family is an imperial businessman. They are not short of money, but they are short of fame. This business can earn a lot of fame for you and the Dou family. This reputation can not only help you continue the Dou family, but also keep the Dou family." The family’s money follows their fate.”

"Emperors have always loved money throughout the dynasties. How can your Dou family sleep at night with so much money? But if you have a reputation, the emperor will also have scruples and not dare to do too much to your family."

Everyone knows how much Emperor Chu loves money, and everyone knows how unscrupulous he is to get money, so this deal can help the Dou family.

And when the emperor saw that the Dou family had paid such a large sum of money, it was hard for him to attack the Dou family again. After all, the money was lent to the farmers, and in the end the farmers' money would be turned into taxes and fall into the hands of the Emperor of Chu. In other words, it was the Dou family's money that went around in circles and fell into the Emperor's hands without any bloodshed. In hand, everyone is happy.

Dou Shaodong's family was silent after hearing this... Indeed, compared to money, fame is what he and the Dou family lack most, and his family's money is too much, too much, and when the treasury is empty, there is no guarantee that one day they will not be killed by the emperor. Find some crime to take away the money.

Rather than being taken away based on one crime, it would be better to listen to Gu Jinli and take a roundabout way and deliver the money to the emperor.

Dou Shaodong's family was moved, but he was still a little worried and looked at Mr. Ouyang: "Sir, I can use money to do this business, but can you keep my Dou family safe? You know the name, if someone If you distort the meaning, you will be killed."
