ion of Capital City Magistrate and Jing Zhi Xian Sheng's agreement to enter the capital as an official, spread like two bombshells. The ripples stirred in the capital by the events at the Ministry of...Chapter 584: Li Yinhu's Methods of Amassing Wealth

It seems this old geezer really loves money. As long as I give him enough, he'll support me.

Naturally, he thought this in his heart. Li Yinhu's smile became much more genuine as well. He wore an air of understanding and said, "Sir, rest assured. Although I, Wang, have little ability or accomplishments, I most respect gentlemen of discernment like you. I will find a way to get more silver and offer it to you."

Dantai Jing's eyes lit up, then she worriedly said, "Although the Prince has a salary, his expenses are considerable. It's best not to make things too difficult for him."

Old geezer!

So greedy, and putting on such a fake act.

Could it be that this is a test of this king's sincerity

Li Yinhu's thoughts were racing. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Sir, rest assured. Although I, Wang, don't have much wealth, over the years in the capital city, I've managed to accumulate some resources. To support you, this is nothing."

You are such a good person.

Dantai Jingzhi looked at Li Yinhou and said movedly, "Then, this old man will thank you in advance."

Soon, the steward brought all the silver from the storeroom.

several thousand taels, packed into two large boxes.

These two big boxes, Dantang Jing's old arms and legs naturally couldn't carry them. Li Yinhou being a good person to the end, also had to be responsible for delivering them to his house.

Looking at the white silver ingots and golden gold bars being loaded onto the carriage by Dantai Jingzhi, Li Yinhou's face was smiling, but his heart was bleeding.

"King, Your Highness."

After Dantai Jing left, the butler cautiously approached Li Yinhu and whispered, "In two days' time, it will be the day when all the household staff and guards receive their salaries. But we are out of money, and there are only dozens of taels left in the warehouse..."

Li Yinhu's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth: "I remember when I was still a prince, my father bestowed several properties on me. You go back and count them, sell two of them, and use the money to ease our immediate financial crisis."

The house manager carefully replied "yes," and turned to count the valuables they could sell.

Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and returned to the study. He pondered that relying on selling assets was definitely not a solution, and he still needed to find a way to make money.

He simply didn't have a good head for making money. He racked his brain, but couldn't come up with any decent solutions.

After pondering for a long time, Li Yinhu stamped his foot and said: "Why bother making money Those who engage in commerce are the most despicable. As a prince, I cannot compete with the common people for profit. If it were to spread, wouldn't it damage the royal face... It's better to directly rob several wealthy merchants. They wouldn't dare say anything. Last year, wasn't it the crown prince who relied on ransacking these merchants' homes to get through the most empty treasury"

"Can he use this method, but I cannot"

Thinking about the power he now held in his hands to crush the White Lotus Sect in the Jing-Ji region, Li Yinhu smiled darkly. It seemed he had found a way to make money.

Thinking of this, Li Yinhu, resolute, slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “Xu Wei!”

Outside the door, Xu Wei, clad in full armor and radiating an air of heroism, pushed the door open. He clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, awaiting orders.

"In the capital city now, which merchant has the biggest reputation"

Upon hearing this question, Xu Wei was taken aback for a moment before replying, “Your Highness, if we're talking about business, the Liu family would be the most suitable. This Liu family...”

Before Xu Wei could finish his words, Li Yinhu immediately interrupted: "Alright, take people with me and leave the mansion right away. Someone reported that the Liu family colluded with remnants of the Bai Lian Sect, I must deal with them immediately."his intention to speak and turned to look at Dantang Jing."Please keep calm, both of you," Dantai Jing said to Su Zhen and Zhao Xuanji. "This is just a discussion, we haven't come up with any solution...
