First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 357: Lady Qu is taken away

Many people learned the news too late. When they rushed to the market, they found that the canned food had been sold out. They could only beat their chests in frustration.

"Manager." Someone stepped forward and saluted Xu Mo, "When will the next batch of canned food be available for sale? We can wait."

"Sir." Xu Mo smiled and returned the greeting. He couldn't close his mouth when he thought of the 300 cans that were just sold out. "According to our boss's plan, the next batch will be in a month. After all, these glass bottles are really hard to come by. Now and in a month it will be the end of summer. In early autumn, all the merchants will also be heading back to their hometowns. So in a month, we plan to sell the second batch of cans here. The quantity may be more than the first batch. Don't miss it then!"

Xu Mo's words made those who didn't buy feel a little relieved. Some people said hopefully, "That's great. We'll wait for the second batch!"

Fifty taels of silver for a can is really expensive, but it's so good! As long as I can take this can back home and take it out in the winter, which noble family can resist the temptation of this fresh fruit!

Xu Mo happily ordered his men to escort the 15,000 taels of silver back to Caidiexuan. He did a great job and felt proud.

In the past, when he was a restaurant owner, he could only see a few hundred taels of silver at most. But now, seeing fifteen thousand taels of silver laid out in several rows in front of him, even Xu Mo felt that his eyes were about to be dazzled!

Qu Wanning couldn't help but frowned when he saw so much silver being deposited into the warehouse.

She found Su Jixiang and said, "The cellar we dug below Caidiexuan to store silver can no longer hold so much cash. We must think of a way!"

"Deposit in a bank?" Su Jixiang asked with a smile.

"There are only two reputable banks in Mangcheng." Qu Wanning said, "We have already deposited a lot of money in them. I don't think it's safe to deposit more."

"So what do you want to do?" Su Jixiang put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile.

"I want us to open our own money house!" Qu Wanning gritted his teeth and said.

"It's not that easy to open a bank!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "We need to establish relationships with several big banks. They need to recognize the Jiaozi silver notes issued by Caidiexuan and make them available for deposit and redemption! We need to pay a large amount of cash as a deposit in their bank in advance." Qu Wanning rarely asked her about something, and Su Jixiang didn't want to dampen Qu Wanning's enthusiasm all at once. Su Jixiang reminded her kindly.

"We can just open our own bank for the time being and exchange our own silver bills." Qu Wanning thought for a while and said, "We can just do it in Mangcheng first, and then slowly open branches outside. Besides, isn't the cash we have in those shops enough as a deposit?"

Su Jixiang was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized that this was a good idea. The silver note business was temporarily limited to Mangcheng, that is, silver shops were set up in Mangcheng and its subordinate counties and towns, and deposits and exchanges could be made, which was not impossible.

After all, I have a lot of cash on hand. If it is deposited in someone else's bank, I am a little worried.

It would be reassuring if it was their own bank, because the last thing Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning lacked was money.

There will be a steady flow of cash into your account in the next few days.

"Then go ahead and do it if you want." Su Jixiang said to Qu Wanning with a smile.

"Really?" Qu Wanning's eyes widened instantly. "Are you really going to agree to this?"

"This is a good thing, why wouldn't I agree?" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "Go and draw up a charter for me to see, and then I'll discuss it with you later!"

"I understand!" Qu Wanning was immediately overjoyed!

She had made a lot of money by cooperating with Su Jixiang, but usually Su Jixiang came up with all kinds of ideas and she followed them. But this time was different. She just came to complain and never thought that Su Jixiang really agreed with her ideas.

And Su Jixiang asked her to go ahead and do it!

Open a money shop!

Su Jixiang gave full authority to her for such a big matter!

Qu Wanning was so excited that she didn't know what to say!

She watched Su Jixiang writing his own things again, and excitedly took two steps forward, opened her arms and hugged Su Jixiang from behind.

Su Jixiang was startled, "What are you doing?"

"Jixiang! I never thought you would trust me so much!" Qu Wanning's voice was a little choked, "Aren't you afraid that I will lose all your money if I open a bank?"

"Then can you do it?" Su Jixiang smiled slightly, put down the pen in his hand, raised his hand and patted Qu Wanning's arm.

"No! I promise!" Qu Wanning said with a sniffle.

"Then what am I afraid of? You have already promised! Of course I believe you!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"Yeah." Qu Wanning laughed, "I'll use all my land deeds as collateral for you! I promise I won't let you lose money!"

"Since I trust you, why would I want your land deed!" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "Just do it. You can directly acquire a small bank, buy out the employees there and renovate it. This way you don't have to take a detour!"

"I understand!" Qu Wanning nodded, "Then wait for me, I'll get you some plans!"

After saying that, Qu Wanning ran back in a hurry.

As soon as Qu Wanning left, Lushui walked in with a serious look on her face.

"Madam, Miss Qu has been taken away." Lushui said.

"Madam Qu? Didn't she go to prepare the medicinal herbs?" Su Jixiang looked at Lushui with some confusion.

"Yes." Lu Shui nodded, "But just now, Madam Qu sent a message saying that she was brought to Mangcheng by the Censor."

"The Censor-in-Chief?" Su Jixiang then remembered that the Censor-in-Chief sent by the court had arrived in Mangcheng in the past few days.

Xie Yingfeng was receiving these people, but they had already been in Mangcheng for a while. The reason why he took Lady Qu away today was...

"Do you know what it is?" Su Jixiang put down the pen in his hand again and looked at the green waterway.

"I asked Weidong to find out about it. He said that Madam Qu's younger brother complained to the Censor-in-Chief that his sister killed his parents and seized the family property. Lord Xie, who had accepted benefits from Madam Qu, protected Madam Qu and turned against Madam Qu's younger brother. Madam Qu's younger brother was sentenced to be executed in the autumn. He refused to accept the complaint and heard that the Censor-in-Chief had come to Mangcheng. He committed suicide in prison to show his determination and sued Madam Qu for colluding with Lord Xie!" said Lushui.
