Chapter 111 Train Chamber of Commerce
By the Willow Lake, in April, orioles are dancing, the water ripples, and golden scales occasionally leap up.

Zhou Tieyi resisted the cause and effect for everyone and demonstrated the wonders of Buddhism.

With the help of this mysterious Buddhist teaching, many military heroes could not help but drink a few more cups. When the wine was served, Zhou Tieyi did not stand up. He smiled and said to Yuchi Jing beside him, "Brother Yuchi, I have an idea recently that can make a little money. Are you interested in investing a few thousand taels and sharing the money?"

A few thousand taels is almost a lifetime savings for ordinary people, but for the grandson of the Right General, it is really monthly pocket money.

What does he mean?
Yuchi Jing picked up the wine glass and promised without hesitation.

Ever since he suffered a loss at the hands of Zhou Tieyi, he naturally gained some wisdom.

Logically speaking, even if the Zhou Mansion was short of money, they wouldn't be short of a few thousand taels.

Yuchi Jing asked, "What idea? I won't do anything illegal."

Zhou Tieyi laughed drunkenly, "It's illegal... Uncle Qingkong is sitting next to me, how can I have the courage to do that?"

Then he said to Qingkong Ming, "Uncle, how about investing a thousand taels to supervise my small business?"

Originally Qingkongming was just drinking, but after hearing what Zhou Tieyi said, he really became interested. After thinking for a while, he thought it was worthwhile to spend a thousand taels to see what Zhou Tieyi would do next, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, heroes emerge young. Mei Qingchen said that you are a capable minister in governing the country, so I want to see more."

With Qingkong Ming's endorsement, Yuchi Jing naturally no longer hesitated and said, "Then I will also invest one thousand taels."

After saying this, Zhou Tieyi was not happy. He smiled and said, "Uncle Qingkong is the elder. It's embarrassing for us young people to take our share of the money. I really want to do this business with my brother. Why don't we invest more? How about five thousand taels?"

Yuchi Jing thought about it seriously. He didn't feel any pain even if he had to pay all the five thousand taels. He said, "Okay, five thousand taels."

With the endorsement of these two people, Zhou Tieyi asked Hao Ren to prepare a share contract for the Chamber of Commerce.

There are probably two people, one invests 1,000 taels and the other invests 5,000 taels. If the Chamber of Commerce makes a profit in the future, how much dividend should be distributed?

He didn't mention equity at all.

In other words, they only have the right to dividends but not the right to make decisions.

The two of them didn't care too much, at least they wanted to see what Zhou Tieyi was going to do.

Zhou Tieyi asked Hao Ren to take the contract and go ask the fifty or sixty martial arts disciples present.

When asked this question, everyone naturally donated generously. After all, they had already paid for today's gift, so they didn't need to spend this little bit of money.

In an instant, Zhou Tieyi's chamber of commerce, which only existed on paper, had raised 100,000 taels of silver, which was no small sum of money.

But what Zhou Tieyi cares more about is the power represented by this money!
Zhou Tieyi glanced at Qingkongming who was still smiling, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

What an evil feudal system!

Such blatant collusion between officials and businessmen was actually endorsed by Si Lu's son, and even if it was made public, everyone would think there was nothing wrong.

I really love this feudal system!

Seeing Zhou Tieyi easily raised 100,000 taels of silver, although the money was not much, Qingkongming could not help but say, "I have to keep an eye on your money. You can't do anything illegal."

"That's impossible. Uncle will ask Hao Ren to check the accounts at any time!"

Zhou Tieyi patted his chest and said.

He didn't want to think about the money.

Even after his railway chamber of commerce was established and he used the power of military heroes to pave the way, he still had to pay a proportion of his regular business income every year and pay more taxes to the national treasury.

The Zhou family will definitely not take even a penny more.

This is a great achievement that will benefit future generations!
Third-rate families only care about money.

Second-rate families began to look at Quan.

Only the first-class families keep their eyes on righteousness! Don't think righteousness is useless.

A family that can truly be passed down for thousands of years.

Kong family, Zhang family.

They just take advantage of the situation.

As long as he promoted the steam engine and changed the entire social system, the lower class people would benefit.

Even if the younger generations were not ambitious enough and lost in the power struggle in the Railway Chamber of Commerce and were driven out, it was their Zhou family who invented and promoted the steam engine!

A thousand years later, there are still people who remember the kindness of their Zhou family!

Zhou Tieyi thought about it and named the Chamber of Commerce "Train", which is simple and easy to understand so that ordinary people can remember it in the future.

As for how the Chamber of Commerce's shares should be structured and how dividends should be distributed, Zhou Tieyi plans to leave it to Hao Ren, a professional.

At most I can give a few pointers on the key points.

Of course, if this chamber of commerce wants to really get going, it will take at least a year and a half to build the framework.

Although many military heroes donated generously, they did not expect the Zhou family to start distributing the money within a year. As long as the Zhou family does not fall, they don't care about this little money!

The party ended at dusk, and everyone gradually dispersed. Everyone gained a lot today.

Even many of Zhou Tieyi's former friends suggested that they go to Tianbao Tower to play.

Zhou Tieyi actually wants to go.

Of course it wasn’t because of the Hu Ji in Tianbao Tower.

It’s because this is an attitude for the children of military honors.

Others have come to your party and invited you, but you have refused to go many times. Even if others don't say it openly, they will always feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and they will not really take the help they do for you seriously.

Zhou Tieyi found an excuse, saying that he was comprehending Buddhism at a critical moment, and agreed to wait for his brother to defeat Shenxiu and then go to Tianbao Tower to celebrate together.

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved, even though people outside were saying that Zhou Tieyi was like a monster.

But as long as we can eat, drink, gamble and have sex together, we can be like-minded people.

Then Zhou Tieyi is a good example of military merit!

On the contrary, everyone just keeps their distance from Zhou Tieyi's brother Zhou Tiege.

After returning to Qilin Pavilion, Zhou Tieyi washed up first before meeting Chu Huanhuan.

When he came out, he was wearing a moon-white casual suit with only a light silver cloud pattern on it. His freshly washed hair was hanging wet, and he didn't use blood to dry it. He just let the evening breeze in the yard blow on it, which made him feel comfortable.

If it were in his previous life, he certainly wouldn't dare to do this, as he would have a headache and fever the next day. However, practicing martial arts in this life has brought him so many benefits that he even feels more energetic every night!
Just when Zhou Tieyi was daydreaming, Chu Huanhuan coughed. It turned out that the young man from the Zhou family was quite lustful.

Zhou Tieyi looked at Chu Huanhuan and said with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about today?"

Chu Huanhuan recounted the fortune teller's plan in detail.

The most important information for Zhou Tieyi was the second-grade fortune teller, called "Follow the Dragon".

"Quite interesting."

Chu Huanhuan looked at Zhou Tieyi in surprise, "Brother, you're not worried at all?"

"What are you worried about? Isn't he still at the second level?"
