"As expected of you."

"I finally understand why others are losing their money and why you, shopkeeper Chen, are getting richer and richer. This is just a clever idea. This is stealing food from the imperial court!"

"These three methods, one more clever than the other, not only retaliated against the imperial court, but also made profits..."

"Okay, that's really great!"

Everyone was amazed.

They already fully understand the routine.

To put it simply, it is speculation and a run.

First, reduce the value of the banknotes, and then destroy the credibility of Daning Bank.

Then redeem the Daning banknotes at a low price and then exchange them back at the original price or a higher price.

This makes money much faster than selling salt, and the techniques are more advanced.

"Today, last year, the imperial court abolished the salt quota system and replaced it with a ticket salt system. How much did we lose by paying huge back taxes? To be honest, it is not easy to maintain it until now."

"How is Shopkeeper Yuan? Now the whole family is begging!"

"That's right."

Speaking of which.

Several people were filled with indignation.

This is also the reason why they can get together here.

"Isn't it inappropriate to do this? We are going against the imperial court!"

Peng Musen, the salt merchant sitting at the end, who had been listening and didn't speak until now, was a little worried.

"What's inappropriate?"

Chen Qu said disdainfully: "Lao Peng, you are too rigid. We, the Jianghuai wealthy businessmen, once jointly opened bank accounts, but now they have all been robbed by the Daning Bank. We cannot survive at all due to the run. Don't you still see?

Are you going to come out? What our Majesty is best at is competing with the people for profit!"

"Think about it, how many times have our businessmen been exploited since the founding of the New Dynasty?"

Chen Qu constantly stirs up hatred and exchanges concepts, arousing other people's emotions.

"We must work together to achieve success and make big money!"

"That's good, we all listen to Shopkeeper Chen."

"We also need to win over some businessmen."

Everyone makes plans and discusses important matters.

In the past, the imperial court exploited them, but now they want to make money from the imperial court.

"If you want to boycott treasure money, you must stop the salt business. Unlike you, I have no other livelihood except the salt industry."

The salt merchant named Xie Mao changed the subject.

"Shopkeeper Chen, you are getting richer and richer recently, and your business is getting bigger and bigger. Can you provide us with some opportunities? You can eat meat, but we can drink soup?"

"Yes, we are on the same team now, let's just mention a few things."

Everyone started to flatter him.

This Chen Qu was originally a little-known salt merchant who couldn't even join the industry at first, but somehow he suddenly became famous.

He was also implicated in the Lianghuai Salt Diversion Case and paid a large amount of salt tax. Others were completely ruined, but he showed a rich family background and seemed not to be affected.

And his other businesses became more and more prosperous, and he became a big businessman.

Everyone knows that he has other skills, so I took the opportunity to ask him today, hoping to give him some advice.

Under such flattery, Chen Qu did not feel any weird, and still maintained a normal expression. He asked calmly: "It seems that you all want to get rich!"

"Then you are not talking nonsense. Who doesn't want to get rich? Shopkeeper Chen will give you some advice."

Seeing that Chen Qu was willing to relent, several people praised him even more enthusiastically.

"Do you know that the borders between Wei and our country have been completely lifted, allowing you to trade on your own, and the tariffs on Wei's side have been reduced by 50%!"

"I know this."

"It won't take long to lift the ban, and it won't be just this moment that you get rich."

"Yes, shopkeeper Chen, don't try to fool me."

Several people agreed.

Why don’t business people pay attention to this?

They have already heard the news that Wei has reduced tariffs, and they are all ready to take advantage of the opportunity to do business and maybe make a fortune.

"I have always done business with the State of Wei."

Chen Qu revealed the secret.

"What I sell and deliver are not ordinary commodities, but medicines!"

"Medicine?"

"No, it's drugs!"

"What medicine?"

Chen Qu said in a low voice: "It's a medicine called Shexiang!"

"Luxury fragrance?"

Upon hearing this, several people's expressions changed slightly.

They have all heard of luxury fragrance and know what it is.

Because it appeared in the Daning official newspaper, it was listed as a prohibited item.

"Shopkeeper Chen actually has channels to get luxury fragrance?"

Xie Mao's eyes shone.

"Can you resell some? I'm willing to pay a premium of 30%, even 50%."

"Aren't you afraid of taking responsibility, shopkeeper Xie?"

Chen Qu looked at him.

"That's a forbidden thing!"

"Haha, shopkeeper Chen is joking. You can't make a fortune by doing business in a regular manner. Only those who violate the rules can make money. Besides, among us salt merchants, who has not sold illegal salt? Who has not committed a crime."

There is nothing wrong with saying this.

Others are like Xie Mao.

The word "luxury" means "luxury".

It’s just precious!

It has not been spread among the people, but it is very popular among the upper class nobles and wealthy businessmen.

A fragrance is hard to find, comparable to gold.

Even beyond.

They finally understood how Chen Qu made a fortune.

There are such channels, but still worried about not being able to make money?

However, there are very few luxury fragrances and they are difficult to buy, so naturally such a business cannot be done.

"Have some soup, let's have some soup."

"Shopkeeper Chen, just be okay. It's hard to do anything now."

Everyone went from praising to praying.

That's money, who can refuse it?

Chen Qu was unmoved.

"It's better not to get involved in such prohibited things until the boycott of treasure banknotes is over."

Everyone understands.

This is because Chen Qu is worried.

After all, there is a difference between talking about it and actually taking it out.

Luxurious incense is a prohibited item, and selling it privately is a violation of Daning law.

Chen Qu didn't dare to take it out casually.

But things were different after the boycott of Daning Baochao.

They have all done things to fight against the imperial court, so they are their own people, so there is no need to worry.
