Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Sending Money Away

After leaving the commerce association, Wufu followed Shopkeeper Lin to visit the Hundred Treasures Silver Building’s branch in the prefecture city. This branch was considerably larger than the small one in Maofeng Town, with three floors, and the jewelry was much more exquisite and valuable.

Indeed, goods vary by region, so Wufu did not find it strange; after all, business depends on the consumer group.

"The main branch in the Capital is even bigger. When the young lady goes there, she can visit and take a look," Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile.

Wufu responded with a good and strolled around casually. Just then, an important guest arrived, and Shopkeeper Lin had to personally attend to them. Wufu told him not to bother accompanying her any longer. After she finished her visit, she informed the employee and left on her own.

Riding the carriage back to the Chaoyang Inn, Liu Jin was already waiting in the room, holding a small case in his arms.

"Young lady." Liu Jin leaped up, excitedly slapping the small case in his hand, exclaimed, "The silver has been retrieved!"

Wufu had given him the token before leaving, instructing him and Xiao Li to withdraw the commission they earned last night from the Huitong Money Store in the prefecture city.

As for the rush, Wufu believed that silver was truly hers only when it was in her hands; otherwise, it was all illusory.

Indeed, they had taken it out early and secured it in their pouch, so there were no worries about someone embezzling it or reneging on a deal.

Wufu took the case, opened it, and indeed, there was a stack of one hundred taels of silver notes, and another one hundred taels were in loose Silver Taels, which made her eyes curve into a smile immediately.

"Young lady, with so many silver notes, do you think we should open an account at the money store to deposit them? To prevent theft," Liu Jin said with a cautious face.

Wufu picked out a ten thousand taels silver note and pondered, saying, "That’s a good idea. But isn’t it a bit too pretentious to open an account for just this small amount of silver notes?"

"Young lady, this is ten thousand taels!" Liu Jin’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Wufu laughed, "Ten thousand taels is too little. Well, my mother mentioned opening a shop, and with this silver, it’s feasible. We’ll open one when we get back. Liu Jin, would you like to work at the shop? You could earn even more silver for your young mistress."

Liu Jin’s eyes lit up, but quickly settled down, "Young lady, I am still young and need to learn. Even if I go to the shop, I would have to start as a junior employee."

"You have the right idea!" It was correct not to aim too high too soon.

She put away the case and said, "Let’s go out later and open a new account."

She knew the local system well—depositing money would earn a personal seal and record stub, which allowed her to check and withdraw personal funds with the seal, and of course, there was interest, not too different from modern banks.

Wufu, with another ten thousand taels of silver notes, arrived at Ah Jiu’s courtyard.

"The young lady has arrived!" Xiao Li reported as he entered.

Ah Jiu was talking with Su Luo. Walking in, Hoo Die was also present, raising an eyebrow when she saw Wufu.

"Have you taken care of everything?" Ah Jiu asked, her lips curving into a smile upon seeing her.

Wufu nodded, "Everything is taken care of," and then she took out the stack of silver notes and handed them to Su Luo.

Su Luo was taken aback, his gaze falling on the silver notes in her hand, "Young lady, what is this for?"

"We pulled off a job last night; everyone made an effort, and naturally everyone gets a share," Wufu said. "However, I brokered the deal, so I’ll take the larger share. Here’s ten thousand taels, take it and divide it among the brothers."

Su Luo’s eyes widened, impressed by her generous handout.

"Ten thousand taels!" Hoo Die jumped up, snatching the stack of silver notes, and exclaimed wildly, "Initially, for a mere five hundred taels, Little Fox, you swindled me without negotiation. Now, without a second thought, you’re handing out ten thousand taels?"
