398 Hypocrisy, making money also needs a reason
Feng Qingchen has always been confident in Su Wenqing's work. After revealing the matter of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and the gambling game to Su Wenqing, Feng Qingchen no longer cared about it. She focused all her attention on amputating and fitting Xiling Tianyu with a prosthesis.
For Feng Qingchen, doctor is her main job, and everything else is a part-time job, although after coming to this time and space, being a doctor seems to have become a part-time job.
Feng Qingchen hadn't touched a scalpel for a long time and was afraid that her hands would become stiff and clumsy, so she went to the Sun Mansion and asked Sun Sixing to prepare a few rabbits for her to practice. She also wanted to find a corpse, but she didn't want to cause trouble, and the bodies of death row prisoners were not easy to deal with.
When she arrived at the Sun Mansion, she still did not see Sun Zhengdao and Madam Sun. Feng Qingchen had gotten used to it. The couple seemed to be particularly busy during this period, and they were so busy that they could not be found.
Without being disturbed by outsiders, Feng Qingchen was immersed in the world of surgery and felt like she was alive. Facing the bloody operating table, Feng Qingchen not only did not feel disgusted, but felt familiar with it, because this was her life.
She would rather deal with a cold scalpel and bloody wounds than play tricks on others. Fighting with minds is too tiring, and she simply doesn't have the IQ to play tricks on others.
Every time she entered the palace, she was extremely nervous, afraid that she would do something wrong, say something wrong, or fall into the other party's trap, and be caught and thrown into the Heavenly Prison or the Blood-Clothed Guards.
The Heavenly Prison and the Blood-Clothed Guards, Feng Qingchen hopes that he will never go into such places as a prisoner in his lifetime. They are too scary. It is enough to experience such things once in a lifetime.
It has to be said that Feng Qingchen has a good vision and Su Wenqing is very efficient. When Feng Qingchen was dissecting the fifth rabbit, the servants of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were already in dire straits. Facing the Ninth Prince's cold eyes, the servants of the Ninth Prince's Mansion went out together to buy medicine for colds at night.
"How can the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion be a good official if they can't even raise a son? Within two days, I want all the evidence of Yongchang Marquis' Mansion's crimes to be solved within a month. I don't want to see anyone from Yongchang Marquis' Mansion in the imperial city." Using the power of the dark, it only takes one night to massacre Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, but...
The Ninth Prince never resorted to covert forces when he could use open and aboveboard means. Punishing someone secretly would never be as shocking as punishing someone in an open and aboveboard manner.
He wanted to use the tragic end of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion to warn the nobles in the imperial city that disaster comes from the mouth.
"Yes." The man in black who delivered the message turned around and went to carry out the order given by the Ninth Prince without saying a word. At the same time, he wailed in his heart, why, why every time the message he delivered was related to Feng Qingchen, and then his master was unhappy in various ways, and he had to bear not only the master's anger, but also the master's murderous aura.
Damn it, he must investigate carefully when he goes back to find out who is putting information related to Feng Qingchen in front of him every time.
Half a step later than the Ninth Prince, Wang Qi also received the news. Su Wenqing and Wang Qi met by chance in a teahouse. After chatting for a few words, Su Wenqing subtly mentioned something about the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, and at the same time revealed his intention to negotiate a profitable business with the Wang family.
It must be said that Su Wenqing was indeed very careful in his work. He was very clear about the matter at the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. If it got to the ears of other members of the Wang family, Feng Qingchen would most likely be implicated. Only Wang Qi would consider both Wang Jinling's reputation and Feng Qingchen's life at the same time.
It goes without saying what business Su Wenqing was discussing with the Wang family. It was the big gamble proposed by Feng Qingchen. Faced with the huge profits, Su Wenqing wanted to keep them all for himself, and he also had the ability to do so, but Jiuqing and Feng Qingchen both disagreed.
The time is too short, and the prince cannot be swallowed by one family, and the interests of multiple families can be maximized. This is Feng Qingchen's reason, and Lan Jiuqing reminded Su Wenqing that this is a good opportunity to make friends with the nobles, and it is not a big deal to share some profits. Only by cooperating with the nobles can the momentum of this gambling be built up and the gambling money can be accumulated to the maximum.
Most of the Ninth Prince's power is in the imperial city, while the local areas are the territories of the aristocratic families and nobles. With their help, everything will go smoothly.
By then, not only the people of the Imperial City, but also the entire Dongling will join this big gamble. It can almost be said to be a national gamble. By that time, even other forces will not be able to get a piece of the pie. At the same time, the gambling funds raised will definitely not be just that of the Imperial City. Although they will give out some, they will get more.
It has to be said that Jiuqing and Qingchen both have a broad view of the overall situation. They both look at problems more far-sightedly and accurately. Although Su Wenqing did not think of it at first, he understood it as soon as Jiuqing mentioned it, and he immediately contacted all parties.
Feng Qingchen and Lan Jiuqing didn't know that because of their "greed", they had directly screwed Nan Ling Jinfan over. They had originally wanted to go to Dongling to raise some military funds, but ended up losing so much that they almost couldn't return to Nanling.
Lan Jiuqing and Feng Qingchen have a good sense of the overall situation, but... they have no idea about negotiating cooperation with aristocratic families and nobles. Only Su Wenqing, a "cunning" businessman, can do such a thing.
Unfortunately, Su Wenqing ran into some setbacks on his first day. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this gambling game was profitable, but not all aristocratic families and noble families were willing to get involved in such things, because being involved in gambling would bring a bad reputation.
The noble families value their reputation, so they are unwilling to get involved in the gambling industry, even if they have to act in secret. Such matters can only be kept secret from ordinary people, as the upper class can find out easily with a simple investigation.
It's good that aristocratic families make money everywhere, but they themselves are not engaged in business. Their properties are managed by their servants. They will never ruin their reputation for the sake of profit and let themselves be cursed by the scholars.
Su Wenqing asked Lan Jiuqing what to do. Lan Jiuqing told him to go find Feng Qingchen. It was Feng Qingchen who proposed the gambling and it was also Feng Qingchen who proposed the cooperation. Feng Qingchen must have a solution.
Feng Qingchen then realized that this was not modern times, the government would never organize gambling, and the celebrities of the noble families were especially careful about their reputation, so how could they do something that would damage their reputation? However, Feng Qingchen was unwilling to give up just like that. Feng Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Take out 10% of the 50% gambling money taken by the dealer to help the poor people. In this gambling game, we should use the banner of benefiting the poor people and helping the court."
A noble family needs to make money and have a good reputation, okay, she will give it to you!
This ten percent of money is definitely not a small amount, but it is worth it to buy a reputation and the help of a noble family!
"It's brilliant, really brilliant. Not only does he make money, he also earns fame." Su Wenqing now admires Feng Qingchen more and more, for he actually raised a gambling game to the level of a country.
Feng Qingchen just sneered and said nothing.
What's so great about it? It's just making money under the name of helping the people. She wants to build a memorial archway for herself after becoming a cousin. This kind of hypocritical thing has always been what the court loves to do. Now she is also very good at it. I don't know whether it is good or bad.
With the banner of helping the people, it would be much easier to convince those noble families. Just as Feng Qingchen thought, to maintain the glory of the noble family, money is indispensable. No family dared to say that they were not short of money. They thought that they had too much money...
