Chapter 220 Fifth Brother is a Fool
Yinzhe returned to the princess's mansion and gave her a shop title deed.
Qin Zhaoyue took a quick look and found the location was good.
The value is probably less than 100,000 taels, but a shop in a good location is often not available even if you have money.
He happily accepted it. After all, it was a business with no capital investment, and it brought him one step closer to being rich and free.
"His Majesty has said that since we've closed the shop, we need to pay more attention to the imperial examinations."
"Hey!" Qin Zhaoyue carefully put away the deed.
"Let's be clear, this is the price for three poems. I won't accept the moral blackmail part."
Yinzhe sighed, thinking that he really couldn't gain any advantage at all.
Said directly: "Then let's talk business."
Qin Zhaoyue leaned on the couch, looking rather indifferent.
If you can’t make enough money, what good business can you have?
Helian Chaolu brought so much gold to Fengjing, most of it should be useful.
Fifty thousand taels would probably be enough, and Qin Zhaoyue doesn't have any other projects.
What other opportunities are there to make a lot of money? She doesn't believe it.
Yin Zhe said two words lightly: "Gambling match."
"Huh?" Qin Zhaoyue was stunned.
"Did you mean what I understood?"
"yes."
"Is the national treasury so short of money?"
This is no longer a question of competing with the people for profit, it's gambling... Is the court going to be in trouble?
Qin Zhaoyue didn't believe that His Majesty would not fleece those nobles by giving the border a break.
Helian Chaolu swaggered in and moved two large boxes of gold into Fengjing, so the other side will only get more.
Yinzhe shook his head, "I don't know what the Shufeng Dynasty is up to.
Firstly, it is to strengthen the military funds. Even if the court does not intervene, the imperial examination will inevitably cause everyone to place bets.
Casinos of all sizes will definitely not miss out on this excitement. Rather than letting others profit from it, it is better to take it back into the hands of the imperial court."
"Secondly, using the gang's name to stabilize Fengjing's society and deter evil spirits.
Even if the other party has some conspiracy or trickery, we can ensure that they cannot incite the people."
"His Majesty has stated that Your Highness will receive 10% of the profits."
Even with the reason given by the Second Princess Shufeng, the imperial examination system was still temporarily changed.
It is unprecedented to admit additional candidates.
It sounds so complicated, but it’s actually just about controlling public opinion. Qin Zhaoyue understands.
When outsiders come, we must not lose face or money, and we can also eliminate risks.
"But I don't understand, isn't it easy for the Xuanji Guards to deal with gangs?
Why did you insist on taking me along and giving me 10% of the profits?
Qin Zhaoyue was certain that there was no such thing as pie in the sky, and besides, His Majesty didn't love her that much.
The entire Zhongchen Dao must start at least one million, and one tenth of that, so at least one hundred thousand taels must be guaranteed.
This time, Yinzhe was silent for a long time.
Qin Zhaoyue spread his hands and said, "Well, the premise of cooperation is sincerity."
Yinzhe sighed and slowly uttered two words, "Public opinion, sensitive."
Yeah, that’s right.
Xuanji Guard has the responsibility to monitor the world, but manipulating public opinion, especially in Fengjing, is indeed taboo.
It makes sense to have an imperial heir monitor at this time, but...
"Tsk, it's the third and fourth sisters who are responsible for receiving foreign delegations.
This kind of work of dealing with the low class in secret is my responsibility, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yinzhe turned around and left, and a voice came lightly: "The Fifth Prince is also OK."
"Don't worry!" Qin Zhaoyue jumped up, took three or two steps forward and grabbed the corner of Yinzhe's clothes.
"Fifth Brother is a fool. What can he accomplish? Let me do it."
It’s not that Qin Zhaoyue deliberately slandered Lao Wu, he was just telling the truth.
Why are the four above considered capable, but the fifth and the original sixth are useless?
It’s because they were still young when they were in the palace.
After Qin Minghuang succeeded to the throne, he was busy stabilizing the court and working hard in the past few years, so he had no energy to take care of his children.
This is the apparent reason, and Qin Zhaoyue has also thought about this matter.
It can be seen from the way Your Majesty has forcefully implemented the new policies that he definitely does not just want to be an excessive emperor.
Maybe she had already decided that the top four were enough.
So the fifth child was raised to be stupid and unintelligent, while the sixth child was greedy for enjoyment and had no ambition to make progress.
As for the three below, the territory and the imperial court of Dagan have been stabilized, and the wars in the north and south borders have ceased.
It’s okay to train him at this time. After all, he is older than the first four, so it’s better to keep him as an insurance policy.
Therefore, when there are many children, the middle one is always more likely to suffer.
"Your Highness, let me be frank.
Having accepted this mission, I cannot give up before the Shufeng delegation leaves the capital.
As for matters involving public opinion, I will report them truthfully, no matter how big or small."
Tsk, Qin Zhaoyue curled his lips and thought to himself, who can compare to you in telling tales?
The matter of blowing up the dike and clearing the canal must have been instigated by this old woman.
On the first day back in Beijing, all his achievements were ruined, and he ended up helping a wealthy man who was taking medicine.
"I know, I know," he waved his hand impatiently, "You still don't trust my character?"
Yinzhe: ...
She knew it, so she said it in advance.
Xiaoliu's self-perception... is quite biased.
"First, tell me, what are the rules?"
Yinzhe roughly described the plan.
Simply put, start with the gangs and unify all the casinos in Fengjing and its surrounding areas.
Xuanji Wei personally took part in the planning, using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, and the full-level boss entered the novice village to fry fish.
Everyone needs to disguise their identity, including Qin Zhaoyue, who also has to change his appearance.
Qin Zhaoyue's heart was pounding when he heard this.
In my previous life, as a law-abiding citizen, all my knowledge of street life came from movies and TV shows.
Young and Dangerous Hongxing Thirteen Sisters, how many mothers are there?
Qin Zhaoyue finally understood that the Xuanji Guards really didn't need her to do anything, she just needed to be there to supervise.
With Xuanji Guards around him, wouldn't he just be killing people indiscriminately?
"Reborn to Dominate the Underworld", oh wow, it's exciting!
"Okay, I promise.
But the 10% agreed upon cannot be changed.
Don't use the shop as collateral when the time comes, I want cash."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm not joking."
"Okay," Qin Zhaoyue rubbed her hands together, "but let's discuss the gambling issue."
"Apart from gamblers, I think it can be promoted and enjoyed by the public.
The talented woman stood up in times of crisis to resist the Second Princess Shufeng. What a great gimmick.
We can organize a nationwide lottery and bet on the top ten rankings in the provincial examination.
Each bet is limited to a few hundred coins, and each person can only buy one ticket. This is harmless and will not affect the lives of ordinary people.
If you win, you can multiply your winnings a hundredfold, making a small investment into a big one."
"Also, the gambling methods in the casino could be more diverse.
In addition to the people on the list and their rankings, it also depends on who is ranked higher than whom, and by how many places.
For example, what are the odds for the top two, and what are the odds for the top five."
"And..."
After an incense stick of time, Yinzhe stood outside the bedroom, staring blankly at the densely written rules on his hand.
No, how long has Xiaoliu been thinking about this?
That shouldn't be the case. She would never have guessed that His Majesty would take action on this.
After pondering for a long time, he decided to keep the stack of papers close to him. The profit this time might be far beyond his expectations.
I don't know if His Majesty will feel the pain at that time, one percent... I'm afraid it's a lot.
"call……"
I let out a breath and felt that everything was fine.
Xiaoliu didn't know her true identity, otherwise his reason for persuading her would be completely untenable.
It wasn't easy, but I finally got her to join the game...
