The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 621 How did the ancients become rich? Revealing Ximen Qing's path to wealth! Cao Cao: Can we still play it this way?!

The sky shook, and new video followed.

The appearance of just one line of questions stunned everyone in front of the screen.

[The secret to getting rich in Jin Ping Mei, revealing Ximen Qing's road to wealth! ]

"Suddenly rich!"

Daqin, Li Si's eyes lit up.

As the prime minister of the Qin Empire, he was under tremendous pressure, not only did he need to find new sources of finance for the empire.

There is also a need for continuous transfusions to support the Emperor's grand ambitions.

In the final analysis, it was because the empire had very little savings. It had just unified the six kingdoms and had spent all the savings of several generations of the Qin people.

So Li Si longed to get rich quickly. The only way to relieve his worries was to get rich quickly!
But what is this Jin Ping Mei? Could it be a magical book similar to the Keynesian economics of later generations?

On the other side, the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the sky with a strange expression and muttered these three words.

"Jin Ping Mei!? If I remember correctly, this should be a banned book?"

After the publication of Water Margin, various fan fictions became popular, and the most outstanding one was Jin Ping Mei. The year when the book was written cannot be verified, but it is certain that it had been circulated during the reign of Emperor Wuzong.

This banned book has accompanied the ignorant memories of many young boys and girls, and the ministers present have also read it.

"Ahem, ahem, how come this banned book has appeared on the screen so openly? It's really insulting!"

Zhang Juzheng, who had always been an upright man, also looked unyielding and looked at the sky with embarrassment.

If his memory served him right, the Jin Ping Mei he was reading probably had a lot of explicit illustrations. If they were to be shown openly...

OK!
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, with a sly smile on his face, flipped through the Jin Ping Mei contributed by Heshen.

As the epitome of emperor education, he certainly had never seen this stuff in his youth.

After flipping through it a few times, I became bored.

Adults would not feel any impulse to read this kind of book, especially His Majesty the Emperor who has seen big scenes.

"That's it? I can come up with more tricks, but how can this vulgar thing hide the secret of getting rich?"

Getting rich quickly, even the emperor is not immune to these two words.

Therefore, everyone's eyes were focused on the sky, wanting to see what kind of magical book this was.

Who is this Ximen Qing?
[How to evolve from a local tycoon to the richest man in a state, and the methods involved, let me tell you. ]

[Ximen Qing was born in Yanggu County of the Song Dynasty. As a second-generation rich man, his childhood life was very enjoyable.]

[When he was 27 years old, his father died, leaving him two medicine shops and a large house, so he became known as Ximen Daguanren among his neighbors.]

[Since then, Ximen Qing has been living a life of debauchery, visiting prostitutes and gambling every day, but he eventually gets tired of it. Every time he gets drunk, he asks himself what he really wants to do.]

[His ambition is of course to become rich, to become the richest man in the world. ]

So, he began to think about a simple truth: wealth has an owner, and the best way is to take other people's money and put it in your own pocket. 】

"Hahaha, foolish people see vulgarity, depraved people see cruelty, and upright people see warnings. Everyone has their own thoughts.

And I am just a writer who knows nothing.”

The Ming Dynasty, I don’t know what year it was.

In the plum grove of Jiangnan, a scholar with a square turban was shaking his head with a warm smile on his face. He was the author of this book - Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng.

This book describes all the affairs of the world, which is shameful.

"Seize other people's money? This is indeed a good idea, but others are not your meal, and they will resist." In front of the screen, Zhou Yu, the second generation of a powerful family, shook his head.

The Zhou family's rise to wealth was not all smooth sailing, and they went through many twists and turns, but they never dared to take advantage of others.

Because humans are not animals, they all have thoughts.

If you steal someone's things, they will bear a grudge against you and then start a fight. Then, no one will benefit and it will not be worth it!

However, a solution was quickly provided from above.

[The risk of robbing by trickery is too great. Ximen Qing is just a small boss. Others flatter him and call him a big official. In fact, his family knows their own business.]

[So, he chose a more civilized way - marrying a widow. Of course, there is another more fashionable way to express it, marrying a rich woman.]

[Ask yourself, apart from your closest relatives, who else in the world would be willing to give you all their savings? ]

[Only love, only a widow who loves you, can solve this problem. ]

[A girl three years older than her parents will hold a golden brick, a girl three thousand years older than her parents will be among the immortals! ]

[Ximen Qing, you can do it! ]

【With this mentality, Ximen Daguanren began his own road to rise. 】

"Marry a widow?!"

The big man, Liu Che's face was gloomy because he discovered a problem.

As the royal family of the Han Dynasty, the daughters of the Liu family, that is, the Han princesses, all had their own fiefdoms.

They are all very wealthy. Nowadays, many impoverished marquisates will devote all their efforts to cultivating their next generation, but the second generation of these marquisates go to the various princesses' palaces every day.

He used to think that these people wanted to reimburse the country and wanted to get in touch with the princess.

Now I finally come to my senses and realize that these people want Princess Shang!
On the other side, the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin suddenly thought of this problem. Although he loved his daughter, he couldn't let her fall into the hands of opportunists like Ximen Qing.

You must choose a good husband for the princess and not let it go!
However, as a married woman lover, Mr. Cao does not have such worries.
On the one hand, his daughter had married into the palace and became the queen, but on the other hand, he was the only one who had the right to marry someone else's wife.

This operation seems to be completely feasible!
"However, I don't like the way Ximen Qing addresses other people's wives. 'Widow', it's so ugly.

There are so many women in the world, and many of them have lost their husbands. They are obviously ordinary women who are treated equally. "

"I have decided to issue a decree that women whose husbands have died must remarry after three years and have the right to dispose of the family's property."

After hearing what Boss Cao said, Sima Yi and Chen Qun below exchanged looks.

Good man, you are saying this just because you want to marry a widow for free!

However, they had no way to deal with Boss Cao, so this move was like cutting off the source of the problem.

Where are there the most widows waiting to be married? Of course, the wealthy and powerful families.

They have money, time, and no shortage of men.

In order to survive, women from the lower classes had long been forced to remarry.

Therefore, Boss Cao's move not only solved his own problem, but also made the wealthy families bleed, creating an upward channel for the handsome children from poor families.

It is truly a great achievement!
Cao Cao stroked his beard with a smug look on his face, and turned his gaze back to the sky.

[Some people pursue widows by carrying water and helping them, while others rely on gold, silver and treasures to show their financial strength. ]

【But Ximen Qing felt that they were all inferior and not practical at all. 】
