“For this reason, I need a person. One whose loyalty I can fully trust to carry out this task without fail.”
She poured out some little pills and tossed them at the young man.
“He must be without all other concerns so that he can serve me with all his heart and mind. And just as insurance, I’ll have him consume this poison that I specially concocted. A poison that only I have the antidote to or he’d die when the moment arrives. But be in no two minds that this perilous task comes with rich rewards. He will receive a tenth of the bank’s profits every year.”
“These are the pills for my poison. Take it, and any betrayal shall result in an excruciatingly painful death. At the same time, pledge me your full loyalty and devotion, and you shall enjoy rewards beyond your imagination.”
The young man did not speak for a few seconds before he suddenly smiled.
“Money holds minimal sway over me. But I am enthralled by the prospects that you’re laying out for me.”
He took three of the pills and swallowed them readily.
“We shall see if you shall survive to see your prospects bear fruit!”
They shared fierce glances that one might wonder if sparks could be elicited from the ambitious glints in their eyes.
Never did they expect that this short exchange would set into stone the future of this continent.
For the world would be ushering in the advent of another fresh prodigy in commerce beginning from now.
The young man grinned.
“I shall forget every single bit of my past. Let it be known that from this day hence, I shall be Jiang Liuyu.
And thus began their long talk.
A talk that would last the entire night.
Jiang Liuyu has only the greatest praise and admiration for the quaint and fresh ideas Ye Qingli came up with.
Then he pointed out something of his own observation.
A point that Ye Qingli seemed to have overlooked.
They lacked enough capital!
In the beginning, she thought that the several million taels of silver she earned would be sufficient.
But if what Jiang Liuyu just told her was accurate, then she’d need more money to open a bank. Gold, in fact!
Silver has but only limited value and credibility.
“Fengyi is a great city. To open a bank, you’ll need at least five hundred thousand taels of gold as reserve.”
Putting in everything that Ye Qingli has, including the profits for today, she would have three million taels of silver.
The gold-to-silver ratio of the Luo Empire stood at approximately one to every ten. That would mean Ye Qingli could, at most, amass three hundred thousand taels of gold, and to even do that would require a lot of time.
Ye Qingli placed a hand on Jiang’s shoulder.
“Leave the business of the gold to me. You worry about the rest.”
She had Jiang Liuyu secretly sent away and found that it was already daybreak.
Right at that moment, she began to feel the weight and burden of everything she has had to accomplish herself. What a cumbersome and bothersome toil, she mused.
But for now, she would need men. Loyal and good men.
But from where could she find them in such a moment of urgent need?
Ye Qingli immediately thought of Jun Aohan.
Gods, it’s been so long since I last saw him.
But what would he think when he finds out that I have a fiancé? Would he burst with rage? Hahahaha!
As a brigand, surely he has good men who can be trusted?
Pfft! Pfft!Why am I thinking about him again?
Then she remembered her promise: they would formally recognize it as Fate if they were to meet again and agree to his request…
Although she had never once taken that promise seriously.
But that fool might be the opposite!Perhaps I should just focus on looking for gold! Wait a minute!
Ye Qingli sprang to her feet.
Gold!
How could she have forgotten all about that secret vault at Mt Li!
That was the secret cache that contained the imperial treasures of the Luo Empire! A line that extended for more than a dozen generations so there must be huge quantities of gold!
Any other person would barely have any way of moving the gold out of the vault’s secret passages.
But she had an idea.
Even if the amount of the gold was the weight of a thousand mansion estates put together, she could easily move them out of the vault.
Unlike others, Ye Qingli has her Lingxi Dimension!
But wait… Won’t I meet him… If I go there…Never… Surely such a coincidence is impossible?All right then, so be it!
She got up and stepped out of her study, much to Xiaohe’s amazement.
“Come on, you! Clean and tidy up the room! I need a nap!” Ye Qingli barked at her.Ganjz, thebrokenpen's Thoughts
1. Without a proper list of terms and glossaries used by previous chapters, I shall try my best to match the same terms that had been used before but if you have any suggestions, I shall be happy to hear them via Foxteller’s Discord channel.2. I renamed “Luo Dynasty” to “Luo Empire”. A dynasty is a line of rulers descended from one family. An empire is a territory ruled by an emperor or empress that may contain one or more kingdoms. In this context, where we’re referring to the domain and country, we are not referring to the timeline/chronology, so I chose the latter.3. For the sake of uniformity, “Jun Ao Han” shall be written as “Jun Aohan”.
