Ruins of the past

Huangtian Dao comes from the worship of Huangtian God.

However, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty established by Emperor Taizu, except for the state religion of Tianshijiao, all other sects are considered cults.

It's just that the Han Dynasty's control over the world is no longer what it used to be. Coupled with the prevalence of folk superstitions, various physiognomy, feng shui, alchemy... are widely circulated, and various cults are causing chaos everywhere in the southeast and northwest.

Huangtian Dao has been widely spread in Yongzhou. From ordinary people to wealthy families, there are many followers of Huangtian Dao.

With such great power, Huangtian Dao is naturally able to make money.

Like most cults, they mainly rely on methods such as intimidation, fraud, and donations to extract money from believers.

This is used to maintain the food, clothing, and training qualifications of the upper echelons of the sect.

For example, the charlatan who used a steamer to steam children to cure illnesses that Chu Qiguang once met in Qingyang County also claimed to be a believer in Huangtian Dao.

Of course, Huang Tiandao also tried to run some legitimate businesses secretly, but most of them were not successful.

And because Yongzhou has experienced waves of natural and man-made disasters, it has become increasingly difficult for Huangtian Dao to squeeze more wealth from its believers, so it will target Lingzhou next door.

It was under such circumstances that Luo Binghong came to Lingzhou to preach with a mission.

Unfortunately, in just three months, she almost lost all her missionary funds.

Later, he teamed up with other believers to rob stock investors, and finally wanted to attack Wang Cailiang, killing people and stealing goods... but fell into the hands of Chu Qiguang.

Suddenly hearing Chu Qiguang's question, Luo Binghong's breathing suddenly became heavy.

It seems that he has already seen himself investing a lot of money in the market, making a lot of money, being unanimously supported by Huangtian Dao, and even ascending to the throne of the leader in the future...

"Hey." Chu Qiguang waved his hand in front of Luo Binghong's eyes: "I'm asking you something. If you don't want to, forget it..."

"Think about it, think about it!" Luo Binghong nodded fiercely, but the next moment she sighed: "But I don't have much money in my hand now."

Chu Qiguang laughed: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. I'm just talking to you casually, not asking you to buy it."

Of course he knew that the other party didn't have much money left, and Chu Qiguang's real target was Huang Tiandao behind Luo Binghong.

"It's just that I think the market is so hot now and the opportunities are so good. It would be a pity not to buy a few shares of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce."

"You have to know that with the Northern Mutual Trade, the entire cotton textile industry is on an upward trend, and the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce itself has strong funds, a solid background, and high-tech thresholds such as hydraulic textile machines. The future is definitely bullish in the long term."

Seeing Luo Binghong nod slightly, Chu Qiguang continued: "You have also seen how much I have earned in the past few days. I work so hard like you Huang Tiandao to preach, rob, and defraud money... To be honest, I can only make money every year. How much money do you earn?”

"You still have to be chased and intercepted by the imperial court, you have to compete with your colleagues in the Immortal Way, you have to deal with the high-level officials at the top, and you have to deal with the believers at the bottom."

"Various venues, labor, talisman water, and elixirs are all huge expenses."

"Think about yourself again. You can preach like this every day at a young age, but what happens when you are seventy or eighty? Are you still working as hard as you are now? Going out to preach every day?"

Luo Binghong hesitated and said, "Isn't it supposed to be like this?"

Chu Qiguang laughed: "In this world, most people think like you."

Chu Qiguang's bewitching words kept pouring into Luo Binghong's ears: "I work from morning to night every day, just make some trivial money. I can make as much as I can. Once there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, I will die like an insect." ."

He leaned against Luo Binghong's ear, and soft words slowly poured out: "People like this make money by working, and they never know who the real winners are."

"Today, I will share the secret of wealth with you."

With that said, Chu Qiguang asked Wang Cailiang to get a pen and paper, and he wrote a number of 100,000 taels on it.

"If you have 100,000 taels on hand and you invest it in stocks and generate 10% profit every year, then it will become 110,000 taels in the first year."

Luo Binghong looked at the numbers written by Chu Qiguang seriously and recognized this kind of profit in her heart.

Even after watching Chu Qiguang's operations these days, she still felt that the 10% profit was missing.

Chu Qiguang continued to write and said: "Then the 110,000 taels will be another 10% profit in the second year, and the capital and interest will become 121,000 taels."

"Then the third year...the fourth year..."

Luo Binghong watched the numbers on it get bigger and bigger, and when it reached 259,370 taels in the tenth year, she was slightly surprised.

When Chu Qiguang counted to the 20th year, this number had become 672,740 taels.

"By the 21st year, the profit from this 10% alone was 67,274 taels a year."

"And you don't have to do anything. You can just lie there and watch the money and make money."

Seeing Luo Binghong's shocked face, Chu Qiguang felt that the heat was almost over and asked, "Now do you understand what is most important?"

Luo Binghong clenched her fists tightly and said with certainty: "Buy stocks!"

"..." Chu Qiguang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are indeed enlightened. Do you know why I didn't kill you in the first place? I just think you have the talent for stock trading."

"Really?" When Luo Binghong was told this, a look of joy appeared on her face.

Chu Qiguang nodded seriously and said: "It's a pity. If you had money in your hand, I would have no problem offering you tens of thousands of shares."

Luo Binghong was moved after hearing this: "The stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce is so good now, are you willing to give me tens of thousands of shares?"

Chu Qiguang smiled and said, "You can't make enough money."

"And I have so much money in my hand, do you think it's all my own? A lot of it is borrowed from other aristocratic families."

"Now the part borrowed has to be returned to them."

"We have to ship it anyway, and since we are so in love, I might as well ship it to you."

At this moment, Luo Binghong's mind was filled with Chu Qiguang's dazzling profits. After thinking for a moment, she replied: "Although I don't have much money left, I can try to ask the teacher to bring in a batch."

Qiao Zhi glanced at Luo Binghong on the side and seemed to be able to see the way the other party was being eaten up and wiped clean: 'Hey, these liars from Huangtian Dao are going to bleed heavily this time. ’

After hearing Luo Binghong's answer, Chu Qiguang was satisfied, but still had a faint expression on his face: "Then you go and contact them, but after contacting them, you'd better act quickly."

"You also know... Qingyang Chamber of Commerce's stocks are a hot commodity right now. I don't know how many people have already taken a fancy to the shares I want to sell. If you are late, they will be gone."

Luo Binghong nodded quickly when she heard this, and then asked hesitantly: "You just let me go?"

Chu Qiguang waved his hand: "Because I believe you are a smart person, and only a fool would give up the opportunity in front of you."

Seeing Luo Binghong's leaving figure, Chu Qiguang ordered Qiao Zhi on the side: "Send the cat demon to follow her."

The following chapters need major revision, so I’ll just finish one chapter tonight.
