Chapter 470 Making money!
Most of the trophies Qin Yu seized from the masters of Da Ying were turned over to the Yu Ling Army's treasury, and he didn't keep much for himself.
Moreover, those masters do not carry much money and spiritual stones with them, most of them are skills treasures and the like.
Now Qin Yu doesn't even have enough money to buy a piece of land as a base, let alone the various equipment, weapons, personnel, operations and other expenses later.
Honglian asked if he could borrow some money from Taiji Pavilion first, but Qin Yu had the nerve to use Taiji Pavilion's money.
Moreover, Cheng Yunliu also said that Taiji Pavilion has always been careless about money matters, and basically has no money left. Every year, it relies on allocations from the Kingdom of God and other private donations.
This Tai Chi Pavilion is in a state of long-term loss of money. The resources used in the sect’s cultivation are all collected by its disciples.
After hearing this, Qin Yu and Hong Lian were also amazed. It is really not easy for such a large sect to be self-sufficient without relying on blood-sucking.
In this world of martial arts, high-level strong men and organizations often draw nourishment from lower-level forces and people by providing military protection.
The most representative one is the Shenyu Pavilion. It can be said that the entire Demon Sealing Ancient Sea is the sponsor of the Shen Yu Pavilion. The Shen Yu Pavilion has sucked the blood of the entire Demon Sealing Ancient Sea, providing them with shelter and maintaining civilized order.
Even Pilgrim Peak, which is famous for its chivalry and justice, has to rely on the entire island where it is located to support itself.
So this situation in Taiji Pavilion is something they have never seen before, but it also means that they can't get start-up funds from Taiji Pavilion.
The three of them began to think about how to make money, and Qin Yu couldn't help but ask: "Where is the richest place?"
Guren: "Are you planning to rob?"
Qin Yu: "That won't happen for sure. I'm not a bandit. I'll just ask if there are any other ways of cooperation."
Cheng Yunliu: "The richest people in Beijing are definitely the royal family. In addition, several major business houses in the capital are also extremely rich. In addition to their own business, they also have banking business. That place is the most direct place."
Qin Yu's eyes lit up when he heard these words: "Then can we go to the bank to borrow money?"
Cheng Yunliu: "Then you must have a mortgage and a guarantor"
Qin Yu thought for a while that his status as a disciple of Taiji Pavilion should have no problem with his credibility. As for the mortgage, he really couldn't get anything that could match the huge amount of money he wanted to borrow.
Qin Yu asked: "Which bank is the largest?"
Cheng Yunliu: "Of course the largest bank is directly operated by the royal family. It is said that it is managed by your sworn brother, the third prince Bai Ziqing."
Qin Yu: "Damn! You didn't tell me earlier! Wouldn't that be enough! If I want to borrow money from my second brother's bank, what kind of collateral do I need?"
After saying that, Qin Yu immediately stood up and said, "Come on, let's go to Prince Qing's Mansion now, and I'll go find my second brother myself!"
Anyway, they made an appointment to visit Prince Ning's Mansion today, so they might as well go to Prince Qing's Mansion in advance to talk about borrowing money.
But what’s embarrassing is that none of the three of them know where Prince Qing’s Mansion is, nor do the people in the store. They have never dealt with Prince Qing.
Moreover, Prince Qing himself is relatively low-key. Unlike Prince Ning’s mansion, which is as luxurious as Prince Ning’s mansion, it is basically known to everyone in the capital.
So the three of them decided to go out and inquire. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left Tai Chi Tower, they encountered a sergeant wearing Forbidden Army armor coming here.
After seeing Qin Yu, a leading Forbidden Army commander came forward and asked: "Is this Zhenren Qin?"
Qin Yu was slightly surprised and said: "I'm the one, what do you do for me?"
The commander replied: "In the name of Prince Qing, we are here to invite the real person to be a guest in Prince Qing's Mansion." As he said this, he turned around and pointed to the three luxurious sedans behind him.
Qin Yu took a look and saw that even the people carrying the sedan chair were imperial guards from the Tianwu Realm. The leading commander was a master at the late stage of the Shengwu Realm. He really gave Qin Yu enough time!
Qin Yu quickly said that they did not need to take the sedan chair, "We are also preparing to visit His Highness Prince Qing, please lead the way."
"Master Qin, you're welcome, please come this way," the commander said, cupping his fists
So the three of them followed this team of forbidden troops to Prince Qing's Mansion. Many people pointed and talked along the way. The common people did not know Qin Yu and others, but after seeing such a big scene, they knew that the three of them were definitely not mortals.
Because everyone in the group was a master, they walked very fast, and they walked to the vicinity of the palace.
Although the palace is a palace, it is actually a city with independent walls and multiple gates. It is also guarded by imperial guards around the clock and is extremely large inside.
Prince Qing's Mansion is right next to the Imperial City. Because Prince Qing often helps the God Emperor handle government affairs, many documents and petitions have to be sent to his palace. It is more convenient to be closer.
Because this place is guarded by the Forbidden Army, few ordinary people can reach it, so naturally not many people know where Prince Qing lives.
After arriving at the gate of the palace, a housekeeper came out and led the three people into the palace.
This Prince Qing's Mansion is obviously not as luxurious as Prince Yu's Mansion. Although it has the atmosphere of a royal garden everywhere, it has obviously aged, and many of the decorations show some old color.
Moreover, the servants who come and go in the palace don’t wear silks and satins like Prince Yu’s palace, they all wear ordinary coarse cloth.
This shows that Prince Qing is a relatively frugal person and does not have luxurious living habits.
But this made Qin Yu a little worried, worried that he wouldn't be able to get the money.
The three of them came to a courtyard. There were guards standing guard all around and the guards were very tight.
The housekeeper let them in, and Prince Qing was waiting inside.
After the three of them entered, they walked softly. Because they were far away, they saw Bai Ziqing reviewing something in front of the table. He frowned and looked displeased.
It wasn't until the three of them entered the house that Bai Ziqing noticed someone was coming.
When he looked up and saw Qin Yu and the others, he immediately smiled, invited the three of them to sit down, and then asked the maid to serve them tea.
In addition to Bai Ziqing, Qin Yu, and two maids, there were also two middle-aged people in official uniforms.
When the two people saw someone coming, they bowed to Bai Ziqing and left.
After they left, Qin Yu said, "My brother looked worried just now. Can you share with us what happened?"
Hong Lian and Cheng Yunliu were very surprised to hear Qin Yu call Prince Qing 'younger brother'. Although they were not very sensitive about elders and inferiors, Bai Ziqing was also a prince after all, so Qin Yu dared to call him that.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ziqing didn't care about this and said directly: "The two people who just left are officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now there is a long-term drought in the north and there is a famine. They come to me to ask for money and to help the victims."
"But now that the Kingdom of God has been fighting for years and the treasury is empty, there is no extra money to give them. But without this money, I am afraid that at least hundreds of thousands of victims will not be able to survive this winter!"
Speaking of this, Bai Ziqing kept shaking his head, showing a sad look.
These words made Qin Yu and the three of them feel sad together, especially Qin Yu, who thought: I'm afraid I won't be able to borrow a penny this time!
