After listening to Zhou Chengye's introduction to all the gadgets, Gao Lishi looked at Zhou Erlang with a look of looking at the monster.

After a long time, Gao Lishi suddenly thrust over with a "thunder". He pinched Zhou Chengye's neck with both hands, then shook it hard as if he was having epilepsy, and said in a mess: "I strangle you bastard to death! Why didn't you contribute these good things earlier? Do you know that if it's just horseshoe, if it's really easy to use, it can save billions of money for the Tang Dynasty in a year?"

"Uh...ah...it's going to die..." Zhou Chengye rolled his eyes wide, spitting out his red tongue, as if he was about to die.

Fortunately, Gao Lishi didn't really want to strangle Zhou Erlang to death. After being excited, he finally let go of his hand and sat back on the chair.

"You really just want to make money, but you never thought about how much benefit your new things would bring to you if you don't give them to His Majesty?"

"If you say I never thought about it, I was lying to you. But in this situation, even if I offer a country to the priest, what can the emperor reward me? I am not as old as a young man, and now even the identity of a scholar has been dismissed by the county school. My father is just a young official of the eighth rank. Could it be that the emperor can be named a marquis for me?"

"That's right. With your current status, it's really a headache. Even if a huge reward falls, it doesn't seem like it's your turn to receive it."

"So, I have to do something within my ability, which can not only share my worries for the Lord, but also earn some credit and wealth. After I get so young, I can naturally accept the cultivation and reuse of the Lord."

"What are your considerations when you choose the two places of inn and hiking to join me?"

"The two industries of inn and hiking are very quick to convey various messages, and the people they come into contact with are all kinds of people. If they can be controlled by General Gao, it would be equivalent to having many more eyes and ears for the emperor. This is very useful for understanding information from various places and controlling the world situation. The boy has no ability or ideas to master this power, so he has to find you as a backer."

"You boy understands the truth! You need to know that inns and carriages in various places have local government backgrounds. Even if ordinary people have the capital, it will be difficult to open up the situation."

"General Gao, you see that I have said so much with a dry mouth. Can I decide to ask you to join the business now?"

"What, don't you want to wait until I report this to Your Majesty before replying to you?"

"I think it's not too late to report this matter to the Lord. We first earn real money and silver, and after we prove it is indeed feasible, we will find an opportunity to report it to the Lord quietly, so that we don't have to worry about making the Lord happy."

"You kid, you really have a brilliant heart! You have been surrounded by me today. If you can't make money in the future, I can't spare you!"

After a long talk with Gao Lishi, Zhou Chengye finally told Gao to invest.

Because he wanted to earn a pocket money for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Chengye did not think about leading these two industries as soon as he came up. He just proposed to invest 4,000 guan, and then kicked the ball to Gao Lishi's feet.

Lao Gao is a kind man and a cheerful person. As soon as he opened his mouth, he proposed that the Gao family invest 6,000 chunks and hand it over to Zhou Chengye to manage and operate. Zhou Chengye will divide the profits he will earn in the future by 30%, the Gao family will keep 20%, and the remaining 50% will be reserved for the current emperor Li Longji.

After this division of Lao Gao actually gave the dominance of the two businesses to Zhou Chengye. After all, Li Longji, who occupied the most share, still doesn’t know that there is a cooperation between Gao Lishi and Zhou Chengye, and he doesn’t know that he can occupy half of the share without doing anything.

The reason why Zhou Chengye pulled Gao Lishi to join was to protect his other two profitable transactions; while the reason why Gao Lishi took the initiative to invest 6,000 guan but only occupied 20% of the shares was because he was attracted by Zhou Chengye's mind and wisdom.

The two hit it off, but accidentally created a story of win-win cooperation.

When Zhou Chengye left Gao Mansion, he left ten jars of wine and the mirror. As for the five hundred stag of money he brought when he came, he was transported back to the courtyard in the west city without getting off the carriage.

Not only that, Gao Lishi also asked his servants to open the door of his warehouse and moved out gold, silver and copper coins worth 6,000 guan, and Zhou Chengye brought them back together.

Lao Gao said to Zhou Chengye: "I can keep the glass mirror and soy sauce, so there is no need to carry those blocked objects into Gao's mansion. The most piled up in my warehouse is this thing. What's the use of people like me who need so much money?"

Gao Lishi said this really. If he was a eunuch, even if he married a wife and adopted a son, these were just decorations that covered people's mouths. If he really accumulated so much wealth at home, what's the use of it in the end?

Because the carriages that Zhou Chengye accompanied him when he returned to the West Market were loaded with gold, silver and copper coins, Gao Lishi specially sent fifty guards from his mansion to accompany him, but inadvertently helped Zhou Chengye escape an assassination against him.

The people who were ambushed by the road to assassinate Zhou Chengye were Hu Da and several capable generals under him.

Hu Da's decent men, the white dog and the night cat, both died because of Zhou Chengye. Since the Green Rat sneaked into the Zhou Mansion and was arrested, he has never seen any trace again. This made Hu Da think that the Green Rat must have been killed by the Zhou family and was quietly buried in a secret hidden place in the mansion.

When Ji Wen secretly contacted Hu Da according to Li Linfu's instructions, he instructed Hu Da to select a group of people to assassinate Zhou Chengye. After receiving this order, Hu Da was so angry that he became very energetic and soon got ready, just waiting for a fatal attack on Zhou Chengye at the right place and time.

That night, Hu Dateng and a group of minions lie on the road that Zhou Chengye must pass back to the west city. Unexpectedly, he saw dozens of murderous guards surrounding the carriage that Zhou Chengye was riding.

Although Hu Da brought all the elites in the gang this time, they were obviously inferior to the regular Yulin guards of the imperial court. The guards in Gao Lishi's mansion were personally rewarded by the emperor. Although they were a little older, they were very powerful when it came to martial arts and the joint attacks of small teams.

Watching Zhou Chengye return to Yongpingli with several carriages, Hu Dashou gathered the people around him and said fiercely: "Today he is lucky. He has found a large group of helpers from somewhere. After these people disperse, we will wait for an opportunity to take action!"
