Chapter 343 Make More Money
Shen Huaichen felt he could understand Burilege's idea.
This child witnessed firsthand how his grandparents, mother, and others died.
I have personally witnessed just how powerful the fire and thunder of Dayu are.
He pressed Shen Huaichen about where those fire mines came from.
Shen Huaichen told him that he bought it from the Weiyuan Army in Dayu, and it was very, very expensive...
Then Burileg became much more interested in making money.
In his mind, as long as he made a lot of money, he could get revenge...
For this reason, the frontier city's top priority now is to do business with all kinds of merchants as much as possible.
At first, Shen Huaichen's attitude towards this child was to take care of him and see how it goes.
If they can't raise him, then find someone else to raise him; at most, let this child be a leisurely frontier prince.
But who would have thought that after spending these years together, Shen Huaichen discovered that Burilege was actually a really good kid.
Previously, in the capital of the Northern Hu, I lived a life almost entirely under surveillance.
Achig's parents didn't teach him any scheming or trickery, but they did raise Burileg to be a kind and gentle person...
"You think brothels and casinos can make a lot of money?" Shen Huaichen asked with a smile.
Burileg nodded.
“Abu! Most of the income in the border city now comes from the money paid by the merchants.”
What if one day the traveling merchants stop coming?
Will that city over there become another desolate place like before?
Therefore, we must now do everything we can to lure the merchants to the border towns.
The border town must have something to attract him.
Casinos and brothels were places that traveling merchants loved to visit.
Doing these two businesses is basically a sure way to make money.
Over time, Sahar will become the most prosperous city among the border towns.
"This way we can also gain more benefits," Burileg said seriously.
Shen Huaichen wanted to say that a city's prosperity couldn't last long relying solely on brothels and casinos.
But thinking about Saharan now, it seems that apart from the income from trade, there are no other special products.
"Fine! If you want to do it, then go ahead!"
"However, the management of the casino and brothel must be our own responsibility. We can't let other city lords get involved, you know?" Shen Huaichen could only say this.
They won't let me do it?
Hehe, actually there are probably quite a few small casinos and prostitutes in the border town.
If you don't do it, the other city lords will.
Even if Shen Huaichen looked down on these industries, he had to admit that they were more than just profitable.
There are many other uses...
For example, gathering information...
"Hmm! Abu, do you think that Chongqing will open an official channel with us to conduct border trade?" Burileg asked.
Without hesitation, Shen Huaichen replied, "Definitely!"
Look, the second young master of the Shen family works in the Ministry of Revenue's Department of Commerce.
If the emperor of Dayu didn't have this idea, he could have simply sent someone from the Court of Colonial Affairs to send us away.
"Since they sent the second young master of the Shen family, they must have this idea in mind," Shen Huaichen said with a smile.
Burileg breathed a sigh of relief.
After witnessing the prosperity of Chongqing, his desire to make money grew even stronger.
Only by making money can we buy better and more firearms...
Only then can I avenge my father and mother...
Only then can the people of the border town also live a peaceful and good life.
Unlike before, we won't be constantly on the move...
“Abu! We must make a lot of money!” Burileg said.
"Yes! I definitely will!"
"So, let's not fight with Dayu, okay?" Burileg continued.
"Hmm! No fight! We can't win anyway!" Shen Huaichen laughed.
Burileg chuckled.
He was really afraid that one day Abu would make a lot of money and then, like that dog emperor of the North Hu before, would wave his hand and do whatever he wanted.
"Come on! I'll take you to see the magnificent landscape of the Central Plains!"
The magnificent landscape is beautiful, but that's only beautiful when there are no warhorses to invade...
......
In the days that followed, Shen Qingming went to the west courtyard even more frequently.
It wasn't just about discussing brothels and casinos with Burileg; it was more about dealing with the official trade channels of the border city.
Shen Huaichen also discovered that his adopted second son seemed to have a special talent for doing business.
They can think of both the problems they should and shouldn't think of.
Even if he doesn't immediately think of something, a little reminder will allow him to apply the knowledge to other situations and provide excellent solutions.
Shen Huaichen couldn't help but begin to have doubts.
Wasn't the former Duke of Dingguo skilled in warfare?
How could you have a son who is so obsessed with making money?
Could it be that this Shen Qingming really is my adopted son from another time...?
And so, Shen Huaichen and Burilege stayed at the Shen residence for a long time, until the New Year.
As long as you don't go out, this west courtyard is always lively.
Madam Shen would often bring her eldest daughter to listen to Shen Huaichen talk about the customs and scenery of the frontier.
Every time, the old lady would look at Shen Huaichen with a smile and listen to every word he said.
Burileg sighed more than once.
"The people of Chongqing are so kind! Kind and warm-hearted."
Even though they were already in very high positions, they didn't look down on us; instead, they treated us like honored guests.
Abu, is this the culture that has been accumulated in the Central Plains for thousands of years?
"Yes! So, sometimes survival isn't achieved through war."
It was brought by people.
"Burileg, you will surely manage the border town very well as well."
Burileg nodded.
He was very confident because Abu was there...
......
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, with the New Year just around the corner, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time on the streets outside.
Shangguan Jin watched as Qian Qingqing led the people in the mansion to paste new peach wood charms on every door.
With the nation and the family in mourning, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion can finally set off firecrackers without worry this year...
Shen Qingyue was originally preparing for the New Year with Qian Qingqing.
Just as evening was approaching, Qiu Niang, the shopkeeper from Chun Bu Wan's place, suddenly sent someone to invite Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue only listened to two sentences before immediately putting on a big woolen coat, getting into a carriage, and heading towards Chunbuwan.
It wasn't until the lamps were lit that night that the maid who had gone out with Shen Qingyue returned to inform Shangguan Jin.
"Miss Wanli suddenly made a move, and Young Master Lian didn't know who to turn to, so he asked the young lady to come over."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jin...
Isn't this ridiculous?
Shen Qingyue is a young woman who has never left home; what does she know?
"Get the car ready! I'll go check!" Shangguan Jin immediately got up and packed her things.
Is Huawanli produced?
She definitely had to go and see; the Shen family and Lian Qianli and his sister had maintained a very good relationship over the past few years.
She could guarantee the character of the brother and sister.
Therefore, she had to go and see Hua Wanli give birth!
