The villain is far from my CP!

"Fenyang is going well."

"Yuci is going well."

"Yangyuan is progressing smoothly!"

……

In an inn in Yanmen City, the capital of Yanmen County, the largest courtyard was occupied by a caravan from the south for a whole month.

There are two-story buildings on three sides of the courtyard. At this time, in a room in the middle of the second floor, a girl wrapped tightly in a fox fur cloak is rubbing her chin and looking at the huge map in front of her.

The door of the house was left open, and men in coarse linen came in and out, drawing small red ticks one after another on the map with a cinnabar pen beside them.

In every hooked town, there is a branch of Tongle Ticket Number.

Bai Qiao stretched out his white fingers and clicked silently again, and found that there were already ten ticks, a happy smile rose from the corner of his lips.

The six counties in the north are vast and sparsely populated, Tongle only chose the [-] most prosperous cities in each counties to set up branches, and half of the people who have caught the bait now.

This is only the north. In the south where the business is more prosperous, there are countless outlets of Tongle. I don't know if those teams who followed Qitonghe to the south and made bet contracts with the price of grain and grass are as smooth as the north.

Bai Qiao brushed his finger over the cold drawing and clicked his tongue.

In fact, that shopkeeper Sheng is also considered a talent, never giving up in defeat, persevering, and being inspired by her so quickly, it is not easy to think that things like ticket numbers will not appear until nearly a hundred years later.

And the most admirable thing is that this person also accurately grasped the key of the ticket number - the Guangpu branch.

Not only did he think of it, but he was able to achieve this in less than a year. If it was placed in the previous life, the largest company in the universe would have to list him as an imaginary enemy.

Unfortunately……

A bit of regret flashed across the girl's eyebrows.

It's a pity that the choice is unknown.

Such an expansion that does not match the ability of Tongle sounds cool, but calming down means a lot of risks.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that the personnel employed in the ticket office are extremely mixed, good and bad.

I don't know how much pressure that shopkeeper Sheng received from Dongdu to take such a big step.

As a result, in the entire north, except for the two or three most populous towns that are still under Tongle's control, the surrounding small branches have already escaped their monitoring.

At the beginning, Qianfang just wanted to recruit a few apprentices, and it took her and Qi Changting a lot of effort. In order to investigate the family background, even the hidden guards were used, and it took nearly a month to choose them.

But Tong Le wanted to set up an entire branch in just a few days or even a few days.

The quality can be imagined.

Maybe even the little gangsters on the street who don't know a single character can take this opportunity to turn themselves into a phoenix.

As a bank that does not sell real goods but relies on services to make money, such a structure is enough to cause it to collapse instantly under the operation of someone with a heart.

After all, these young people recruited in a hurry don't know anything about the true thoughts of the man at the helm in the Eastern Capital.

They only know that they want to buy horses, so the price of horses will never fall, but they don't know what kind of dirty ideas the people behind it have.

Another guy from Ganfang trotted in and drew No. 11 red ticks on the map.

Eleven ticks can almost completely surround the three red circles that are really under the control of Tong Le.

Bai Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his voice to call He Cheng.

"Any news from the South?"

He Cheng just got Qi Tonghe's letter and solemnly handed it to Baiqiao.

The girl unhurriedly pulled out the letter paper inside, and then,

The corners of the lips were raised slightly, and there was a trace of the ferocity of the cheetah before the predation between the eyebrows and eyes.

He Cheng's expression froze, and his heart suddenly accelerated.

The guard in black was full of energy, clasped his fists and obeyed orders.

Seeing the girl lightly throwing off the cloak behind her, she said in a deep voice:

"Close the net!"

In the city of Fenyang, during the past three to five days, there have been a few men who came to the teahouse for tea every afternoon.

He didn't eat tea seriously, and glanced at the storyteller's platform from time to time.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were looking for someone, and the guys at the teahouse knew even more that they were looking for the person who sold the paper after the hot case that day, and they were obviously still thinking about the 15 taels of silver a month.

Unfortunately……

The guy shook his head.

They probably didn't know that all the deeds in the hands of the paper seller had been eaten by Tongle Piaohao.

These foreigners are still not familiar with the Tongle ticket number, but the locals don’t look up to the guys inside, just like the Tongle guy who comes to their teahouse for tea every day.

Hey, that man was originally a gangster on the street, but he happened to catch up with Tongle's car, and he could be his guest in a single jump.

And in the past few days, their tails have been raised to the sky, as if they have made a windfall, they don't even pay attention to the storytelling in their teahouse, and change to the place where they can listen to the opera to have tea every day.

We were originally from the same class, so how could we not be jealous and curious, so we couldn't bear to ask.

The man had been waiting for them to ask for a long time, and after he shied away a few times, he mysteriously took out five deeds with red handprints on them.

five!

That's 75 taels of silver per month!

The waiter at the teahouse felt that he might not be able to earn that much money in his entire life!

If he can have one, even just one!

Although the deed is not yet ready for the payment of silver taels, but just looking at the soaring horse price, he can almost imagine building a huge yard in the future, and living a luxurious life with his wife, children and even concubines.

It's a pity that those deeds are all in the hands of Tong Le.

It's all in the hands of the guy who was just a punk!

At this moment, the man couldn't help but feel a hint of malice in his heart.

If the price of the horse suddenly fell...

Hey, what kind of scene should it be?

He couldn't help but think a little deeper, and wiped the table in a trance, but suddenly heard an angry shout from a distance outside the door!

"Why don't you accept it! Didn't you say that you will be charged at a high price for the next half a year?!"

The voice sounded familiar, and the teahouse attendant even felt for a moment that he might have gone mad because of jealousy, so that he heard a hallucination.

But then, the voice sounded again, this time even the tone changed, even with a hint of fear.

"What, what, not only did they not buy it, but they also sold it?! [-]% off?!"

The streets of Fenyang City were silent for a moment because of these uncontrollable words.

Not far from the teahouse was the well-known Tongle ticket shop, and right now, the Tongle guy, whom they were very familiar with and envied, was following behind his shopkeeper, arguing loudly with a middle-aged man in extraordinary clothes.

The Tongle guy's face turned red, but the Tongle shopkeeper in front of him was pale.

The shopkeeper's eyes were numb, and his body was shaking.

How, how is it possible...

Didn't you say half a year?

He hid the people above, diverted a sum of money from Tongle's account, ate all the batch of contracts, waited for the return in a month, then filled the account quietly, and then went to Tongtian avenue.

He has done this kind of thing before. He secretly took money from the master's family to gamble, but he paid back all the bets he won.

It's just that his previous master was too mean, he had already paid back, but the man still refused to let him go after finding out, beat him violently and kicked him out.

A year ago, he managed to find such a good job as the shopkeeper of Tongle again, this time it was nothing more than repeating what he had done before.

But how, how could it be like this.

Once the horse is sold, the price of the horse is bound to plummet.

Don't say that he can't fill in the large sum of money to buy the deed, the deed in his arms is like a treasure, and every page is a heavy debt of 1000 taels of silver!

What's more, he stamped these deeds with Tongle's official seal.

So much debt, so much debt...

Empty the whole Tongle, I'm afraid it's still not available!

The shopkeeper's limbs were numb, his eyes were dark, and finally he couldn't bear to roll his eyes and passed out.

The middle-aged man who gave him the order just now took two steps back in disgust, and at the same time, there was an ominous premonition in his heart.

It is true that the order to sell the horse came in a hurry.

The guy from Dongdu originally planned to wait until the news of the third prince's death before selling the horse, but now that 20 days have passed, he couldn't wait any longer, so he moved ahead of time.

But he already said that Dongdu will compensate for the loss of Tongle buying at a high price and selling at a low price. Why is the shopkeeper so frightened?

The shopkeeper of Tongle passed out and attracted more onlookers. The middle-aged people felt a little regretful that they passed Qi Jingmin's order outside the door because they didn't want to go into this remote place.

At this time, the people around him approached, and suddenly found that the middle-aged man's left chest was also painted with the same pattern as that guy, but it was golden.

The merchants who traveled all over the world recognized it at a glance.

"That's the person from the Fucheng Tongle Piaohao?"

Someone murmured something, and suddenly there was a huge discussion in the back street like a rising tide.

The teahouse clerk felt that there was a moment of silence in his teahouse, and then he was about to be overturned by the sudden soaring discussion!

"No, what does it have to do with Tong Le whether you take horses or not? Look at the meaning of that man's words. Could it be that Tong Le is the one who has been taking horses in recent days?"

"Hiss, I don't know, but if it's really Tongle, there are so many horses, and how rich they are!"

"Hey, wait, that's not the point!"

"I don't know about the other things, but if what that person said is true, the price of this horse will probably fall..."

No wonder, no wonder the shopkeeper fainted from fright!

As soon as this corner was turned, the roof of the teahouse that was about to be overturned could no longer cover the group of people. The big guys put down their tea cups and rushed out, wanting to see what happened.

The waiter in the teahouse still hasn't recovered from this sudden turn of events.

Are horse prices going to drop?

He held the rag blankly and stared blankly at the table in front of him, and then glanced out of the corner of his eye to see a few people sitting in the teahouse who didn't go out to watch the excitement.

He subconsciously turned his head to look:

The four big men sat by the window in a daze, and suddenly covered their faces and burst into tears like the survivors of a catastrophe.

It was the four men who had been looking for the paper man for the past few days.

The teahouse waiter was silent for a while, and then slowly squeezed the rag in his hand.

For the first time, he realized so deeply how absurd it is to get rich overnight.

Sure enough, his own strength is the most reliable.

On this day, not only the waiters in the teahouse realized the Tao, but even the city of Fenyang realized the Tao.

Most of the north was shocked by Tongle's One Heaven, One Hell.

Two days later, the news finally reached the ears of Shopkeeper Sheng in Boling County far to the northeast.

The old man was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest."

Five days later, the news was sent to Qi Jingmin's desk urgently.

It's night, Shenghe is in the sky, and the blood moon is in the sky.

What a painful realization~~~

As the saying goes, if you don’t manage money, money will never leave you. Before you overcome one of the most terrifying instincts of human beings-chasing ups and downs, you must be cautious in investing, my friends!
