Tianxia Pavilion.

The few nobles who finally figured out what a joint-stock system was, under the leadership of the British Duke Zhao Shang, all paid their share of the money and each held a part of the shares.

Of course, the largest share was given to the royal family.

Qi Xingyun himself took one-third, Yang Ruoqing took one-fourth, and the rest was divided among several nobles, according to how much they contributed. Among them, the British Duke Zhao Shang contributed the most, which was enough.

A total of 150,000 taels, Zhongqin Bo Lu Tao contributed the least, a symbolic one tael.

However, Yang Ruoqing still gave him a share.

It seems very few now, but in the future, when trade routes are opened and new textile machines are mass-produced, it will bring huge wealth.

"Those who don't come will regret it. They don't know what kind of opportunity they are giving up to make a fortune."

After leaving the door and entering the carriage, British Duke Zhao Shang sighed in his heart.

He is the emperor's father-in-law, and he is also the inheritor of the country. What he received this time was actually the emperor's instruction. Of course, whether he spends more or less depends on his own vision.

He is extremely optimistic about this World Business Alliance.

Yang Ruoqing, Mrs. Zhongyong Bo, has a very strong ability to make money in business. Others use their strong capital and family background to do business, but Yang Ruoqing relies on her skills and ability to produce products. Even if she later has capital and background, she still relies on herself.

Earned by ability.

It is unreasonable for such a strange woman not to succeed.

But with this Clippers spearheaded by the royal family and helmed by Yang Ruoqing, the future of popular spicy food is just around the corner.

After all, the Duke's Mansion also needs to eat.

There are thousands of people in the whole house, spending money and food, it is really no joke.

"I won't be so worried anymore."

Thinking of those concubines, Zhao Shang felt that he could finally show off his glory again. It was definitely a good deal to spend most of his savings this time.

…

Sitting in the carriage, Zhongqin Bo Lu Tao felt like he was in another world.

It's like a dream.

He got shares and got errands. In addition, Yang Ruoqing also sent someone to follow him to settle the debt.

He suddenly felt the urge to burst into tears. Perhaps, his fate had really changed.

He secretly made up his mind that this time and from now on, he must do his errands properly.

The carriage was neither slow nor fast.

Along the way, the man sitting opposite never spoke.

He knows his name.

Xingyun is said to be Yang Ruoqing's right-hand man.

It didn't look too surprising, but Lu Tao didn't mean to underestimate him.

The carriage enters Nantuo Street.

The children who were playing in the streets fled away.

Because carriages are only owned by wealthy families.

The poor cannot afford to offend the nobles, and they deserve to be killed if they don't hide.

"Look, isn't that Lu Tao?"

"It's really him, he's developed?"

"It looks like I've met a noble person."

"Let me tell you, Lu Tao is a loyal and brave uncle passed down from his ancestors, and his feng shui is excellent."

"Ms. Li is so lucky to marry him. From now on, she will be your wife."

"I remember you said before that Li's fortune was poor and that he died young?"

"You must have heard wrong. Mrs. Li looks rich and noble at first glance. How could she be the sign of premature death?"

Lu Tao's mood fluctuated as he heard the comments.

This is the reason why wealth never travels at night, and wealth must return to its hometown.

When he came back, he put on his royal clothes and rode in a luxurious and exquisite carriage. He immediately became taller and taller. He was no longer the poor and down-to-earth earl, but a truly despised earl.

He couldn't wait to see Mrs. Li as soon as possible and tell her the good news.

Approaching the courtyard where he lived, he saw from a distance that the courtyard door was wide open, and a cry of surprise came from inside.

That was Li's voice.

Lu Tao's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said: "Stop the carriage quickly."

The carriage slowly stopped, and Lu Tao hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

Xingyun followed closely behind him. He was the leader of the secret guard and was originally busy with affairs, but Yang Ruoqing ordered that Lu Tao's matter was the most important matter at the moment and must be handled satisfactorily without any mistakes.

Lu Tao broke into the courtyard and saw Mrs. Li falling to the ground at the first sight.

The front door of the house was half crooked, and several burly men were rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Lu Tao shouted angrily.

"Don't you have any idea in your mind? Paying back debts is a matter of course. How long has it been since you paid back?" The leader, a big man with a sinister face and a voice like thunder.

Lu Tao grabbed Li's arm and helped Li who fell down.

There was anger in his eyes, and this time he was really angry.

"I am the Earl who is the founder of the country. You have violated the laws of Qi by breaking into my mansion without permission..." Lu Tao said loudly.

"Laws? I only know how to pay back debts. Your family owes our head 10,000 taels of silver with interest. Now, it is already 15,000 taels. Since you are the uncle, then you can pay back the money."

." The big man sneered.

What uncle, it’s just a hairless wild chicken.

Before Lu Tao could speak.

"A total of fifteen thousand taels?" A strange voice sounded.

"Yes, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I have money, but have you brought your contract?"

"Contract? You're just kidding me, aren't you?" The flesh on the big man's face was trembling.

Contract? This is a gambling debt. Even if there is a contract, it is not protected by laws.

If we really follow the laws of Daqi, we can refuse to pay back the bet, but in reality it is impossible. This kind of casinos are run by powerful people. If anyone dares to refuse to pay back, the consequences can be imagined. The whole family will be blamed for Shen Tan.

It's all possible.

"The banknote is fifteen thousand taels, take it and you can go."

Xingyun made no excuse and just took out the banknote.

The big man took the bank note, and his suspicious eyes dimmed.

The banknotes are real. He can take out fifteen thousand taels of banknotes in one breath. He is no small person. People like him are the most clever and will never offend rich people.

"Sir, the banknotes have been counted, can we leave?" All the ferocity on the big man's face disappeared, replaced by a flattering joke.

But that big pie-like face looks particularly ugly when he smiles.

After the big man and his group left, Lu Tao said, "Brother, did you just give them this money?"

Lu Tao was a little reluctant, but Yang Ruoqing originally paid the money, so he couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry, madam's money is not that easy to get. Since you take it, you have to pay the price." Xingyun said calmly.

He took out the silver coins so happily, of course it was Yang Ruoqing's order.

Behind this gambling debt, the so-called boss is the boss of the Huaiyuan Gambling House, and the person standing behind the Huaiyuan Gambling House is Wei Xinsheng.

Liyang Marquis Wei Xinsheng!

He is related to the Ning family by marriage. This person has problems and the water is deep.
