"Building a craftsman's academy doesn't require so much land, right?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course we can use it. Our Artisan Academy has many departments, and we also need to build accommodation areas and cafeterias."

"Then we will set aside a district to build a liberal arts college, which will specifically recruit students from poor families who have no money to go to school but are talented or hardworking."

“So it’s better to have something bigger.”

"In fact, not only will we ask you to donate the land, we will also donate the money we win from you to build the Artisan Academy."

"Your piece of residential land doesn't even cost more than a million taels, and we can give you even more."

Before coming, they had agreed to donate all the money they won from the gambling to build the school.

Build another welfare home to take in orphans and lonely elderly people...

At that time, orphans will also receive some training and education, and they can take the imperial examinations or become craftsmen.

Whether in modern times or in ancient times, it is a real fact that knowledge can change destiny.

The corner of Liang Mingwen's mouth twitched, "The money you want to donate is also from me."

So these guys didn't feel sorry, but he was heartbroken.

Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "You run a gambling house, so of course you have to be prepared to bear the losses. This is the money we deserve."

Liang Yulin looked at Liang Mingwen with a half-smile and said, "It's not that we are trying to trick you. We made the bet because we wanted to take care of your business. Look, your own father bet 50,000 taels on Qing Luo."

Liang Mingwen: “…” Don’t mention this, he feels like vomiting blood when he mentions it.

Not only did my father bet 50,000 taels of silver on Shi Qingluo to win, he also asked his personal attendant to come to him to exchange the money yesterday...

He really wanted to say, even if he wanted to bet on Shi Qingluo to win, why not go to other gambling houses and cheat others.

He actually came to trick his son. What was the difference between him and King Yi and his men? His father sometimes liked to do things out of tune, which was hard to describe.

Seeing Liang Mingwen's hopeless look, Shi Qingluo chuckled sympathetically and said, "Think about it carefully. We are not in a hurry anyway."

Prince Jin really knows how to play, and he specifically tricks his son.

Liang Yulin also said, "Yes, I will write a memorial to the capital in a few days, you can think about it for a few more days."

Liang Mingwen: “…” These two people are so shameless.

He really couldn't laugh. "Then I really thank you for your tolerance."

This is of course a sarcastic remark.

Shi Qingluo continued generously, "You're welcome. We are good people after all."

Liang Mingwen: “…” I feel like vomiting blood. This guy can still set a new level of shamelessness.

Just at this moment his people delivered the silver bills over.

He hurriedly exchanged the money for several people, then found an excuse that he had something else to do and politely sent them to the door of the gambling house.

He didn't want to see the emperor's uncle and Shi Qingluo at all now.

Shi Qingluo and the others did not emphasize the matter anymore. After all, too much is as bad as too little.

Anyway, Liang Mingwen has fallen into the pit they dug together, and he definitely can't escape.

So he happily took the silver and left.

In the evening, the maid returned to the prefect's house.

At this moment, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo had just finished dinner and were preparing to go for a walk in the garden.

Shi Qingluo looked at the maid and asked, "Did you find anything?"

The maid replied, "I followed them halfway and saw them being stopped by a few people."

"Those people said they could help pay off the debt, but they wanted Ge Chunyi to do something for them."

"If it is done, we will give them another 50,000 taels of silver."

The maid nodded, "They asked Ge Chunyi to steal the border town's defense map."

Xiao Hanzheng was not surprised. There had been a lot of friction on the border between the two countries recently, and the Ge army seemed to be ready to start a fight.

The jerk dad was appointed to assist the third prince in deploying defenses to resist the invasion of the Ge Kingdom, so the jerk dad has a new defense map.

He asked: "Have you found out which faction these people belong to? Are they from the previous dynasty?"

The maid replied: "I have checked, it is indeed the power of the previous dynasty."

Xiao Hanzheng frowned, "They have been very active recently, and their private cooperation with the Ge Kingdom has never stopped. What are they trying to do?"

The northern border of Daliang is relatively stable now, so if the Ge Kingdom sends troops, it will have no advantage.

So the so-called desire to go to war is more like a cover.

The maid didn't say anything because she couldn't answer this question. She was just a secret guard responsible for gathering information.

She remembered something, "Master, I followed those people to a courtyard and saw Master Zhuo coming out."

Zhuo Jun and his master are not only superiors and subordinates, but also friends, so she mentioned it.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't ask her what he was asking just now. He just nodded to show that he understood and said, "You can go down and rest first."

The maid bowed to the two of them, "Yes!"

After she left, Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "Is it related to the treasure map?"

Previously, King Yi and his young husband used the net they had laid to delay the time for Qian Chao and King Jin to cooperate in opening the treasure.

But both sides cannot wait too long.

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. I'll have someone keep a closer eye on it."

Shi Qingluo thought of a question, "Do you think Ge Chunyi would steal the defense map?"

"Those people also calculated Ge Chunyi's selfishness and greed. When they heard that Ge Chunyi could not only help pay off her debts but also receive a reward of 50,000 taels if she stole the defense map, they were afraid that they would not let her go."

"Even Ge Chunru might be tempted. After all, in her heart, Ge Chunyi, the younger brother who can carry on the Ge family's bloodline, should be more important than Ge Chunyi, the younger sister."

"If Ge Chunyi can do it, not only can she pay back the money owed to the gambling house, but their life pressure can also be greatly reduced."

"Besides, Ge Chunru hates his scumbag father so much now that she can't wait for him to be finished."

It must be said that the forces of the previous dynasty conducted a very thorough investigation of the Ge sisters.

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whether Ge Chunyi thinks she is more important or whether she thinks her sister and brother are more important."

"If she only considers her own interests, she might curry favor with Xiao Yuanshi instead."

"If there is still some family affection in your heart, the plans of those people in the previous dynasty will succeed."

Shi Qingluo smiled and asked, "What do you think she will choose?"

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "I prefer the former."

Shi Qingluo said: "If she chooses Xiao Yuanshi, won't she be forced to break up with Ge Chunru and Ge Chunyi?"

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled, "She might have already wanted to get rid of her relatives who not only can no longer help her but also hold her back."

Ge Chunyi is even more cruel than Ge Chunru.

Shi Qingluo said with a smile: "Then have someone keep an eye on her. I want to see what choice Ge Chunyi will make and whether Ge Chunru is a big joke."

If Ge Chunyi chose Xiao Yuanshi and gave up her biological sister Ge Chunru, there would be something interesting to watch between the three siblings of the Ge family.

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her and said with a smile: "Okay!"

It’s time for the Ge family’s show to begin.
