Chapter 212: The Change of Ownership of the Thousand Gold Casino
Ye Chutang looked at Sun Chu, who had a childlike heart, and gave him a thumbs up.
"Very impressive. The Wuji Sect lives in seclusion. How did you come up with these things?"
Sun Chu's face froze for a moment, then he raised his hand and circled his index finger next to his head.
He laughed and said, "Maybe I have a talent for business."
Ye Chutang looked at the guilty Sun Chu and asked again: "You said you are rich enough to rival a country, so you should be doing more than just gambling business, right?"
The smile returned to Sun Chu's face.
He said complacently: "Of course, eating, drinking and having fun are all ways for me to make money."
Unfortunately, he has poor literary talent, does not understand Chinese medicine, cannot find a professional manager, and cannot work in education and medical fields.
Missed out on these two most profitable industries!
Thinking of this, he said, "I will give you all the money and property I have earned over the years, and you will give me the antidote and set me free, okay?"
If you lose money, you can earn it again.
It feels so bad to have your life held in the hands of others!
Ye Chutang glanced at Sun Chu and asked, "If I take your property, I can reach the pinnacle of life?"
Sun Chu: “…”
It's all over.
I was a little too arrogant before in order to escape from the dungeon.
He forced a stiff smile and spoke without confidence.
"Becoming the richest man in Beichen Country is like reaching the pinnacle of life, isn't it?"
Ye Chutang stretched out his finger and shook it.
"My maternal grandfather's family was once the richest in Jiangnan, but the emperor's words wiped out the family fortune and left them with nothing."
"The richest man in one area cannot compare to the richest man in the whole country!"
"No matter how much wealth you have, it can't defeat the government's army. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been caught, right?"
Sun Chu was exposed and coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"That's right. If you want to be invincible, financial power is indispensable."
After that, he asked in a low voice: "So, the Qi family wants to rebel, and you want to rule the country?"
Ye Chutang looked at the bustling casino, her pink lips moving.
"Who do you think stands above all others in Beichen Country right now?"
Sun Chu subconsciously wanted to say "Emperor".
But when these two words came to his lips, he changed his mind.
"Eunuch De."
In the entire Beichen Kingdom, everyone knows that eunuchs are in power, except for the royal family who refuse to admit it.
"Mrs. Qi wants to become someone like Eunuch De?"
Ye Chutang nodded calmly.
"Almost. As long as Mr. Chu is obedient and helps me reach the pinnacle of life, I will give you the antidote and let you go."
Sun Chu didn't mind helping Ye Chutang make money, but he didn't want to get involved in power struggles.
"that……"
"If you refuse, you will never be able to escape the control of the poison in your life."
The threatening words successfully made Sun Chu swallow his refusal.
"The shopkeeper is in the backyard, let's go over there."
The backyard is divided into three parts.
Kitchen, office area, and dormitory.
After reading it, Ye Chutang felt more and more that it was the right thing to keep Sun Chu by his side.
He has already practiced a business model that is suitable for ancient times. It is easier to make money by working with him.
The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man. The moment he saw Sun Chu, he burst into tears.
"Master, where have you been this year?"
Sun Chu thought back to the miserable year and waved his hand with a grim expression.
"It's better not to mention it."
When he raised his hand, he pulled the wound and grimaced in pain.
The shopkeeper quickly wiped away his tears and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm a little injured. This is my savior, Ye Chutang. This gambling house will belong to her from now on."
The shopkeeper knew who Ye Chutang was and immediately knelt on one knee and saluted her.
"Your subordinate Wu Kui greets the master."
His life was saved by Sun Chu.
Whatever Sun Chu said was what he did.
Ye Chutang didn't expect the shopkeeper to recognize his master directly, and he looked up to Sun Chu's ability to control his subordinates.
"Get up, how is the gambling house's profit?"
Wu Kui stood up and said, "The daily turnover of Qianjin Gambling House is about 20,000 taels. After deducting all expenses, the net profit is close to 1,000 taels."
Although the profit ratio is very low, the reasonable prices and good service make the business very stable.
If calculated over a year, it is a huge fortune.
Ye Chutang didn't think the money was too little and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the gambling house is a mixed bag of people, it is a great place to collect intelligence, and we can use it in the future."
Wu Kui said respectfully: "Master, I have been collecting intelligence all along."
It’s just that Sun Chu is a man of the world and has no interest in intelligence. Although he collected it, he never used it.
"Boss, you should know who I am. Use the profits from the gambling house to secretly help me do two things."
"Master, please give your orders."
"Buy food and warm clothing, the more the better."
Wu Kui knew what this meant and glanced at Sun Chu.
Sun Chu glared, "Why are you looking at me? Madam Qi is your master now, so do whatever she tells you to do."
Wu Kui bowed to Ye Chutang and said, "I obey your command."
Ye Chutang looked at Sun Chu and said, "Set up an intelligence network. If there are any major events related to people's livelihood and the country, have your people report to you in a timely manner."
For Sun Chu, this was just a matter of writing a few letters.
He agreed immediately, "Okay."
Now that you are in the stolen car, if you want to save your life, you have to listen to Ye Chutang.
Before leaving the gambling house, Ye Chutang instructed Wu Kui.
"Send the purchased food and clothing to Tianshan County secretly. Send more before the heavy snow falls."
"Yes, Master. How can I contact you in the future?"
"Contact Master Chu directly."
Seeing that Sun Chu had no objection, Wu Kui immediately agreed.
"As you command."
Ye Chutang and Sun Chu left the gambling house.
"I'm going to go shopping, you go do your thing, and we'll meet at the largest restaurant in Bingzhou later."
She knew that Sun Chu had other businesses in Bingzhou.
Having disappeared for a year, he had to go over all the industries to prevent his subordinates from becoming disloyal.
"Okay, see you later."
Sun Chu left after he finished speaking.
He had to check on his inn, wine shop and restaurant and check the accounts.
Ye Chutang actually didn't have anything to buy. The things given by the people were enough for the time being.
She mainly went to the pawnshop to exchange some jewelry she had previously collected for silver.
In the barren north, silver is more useful than jewelry.
She found a deserted place and changed her clothes.
Ye Chutang went to all the pawnshops in Bingzhou and exchanged nearly 30,000 taels of silver notes and silver.
After pawning her things, she changed back into her clothes.
I bought some snacks and daily necessities along the street.
When they arrived at Wanggui Tower, Sun Chu was already there.
Wanggui Tower is the property of the Wanneng Sect, and it also represents Sun Chu’s long-cherished wish of returning home.
All the prefectures and counties north of the capital have a Wanggui Tower.
Sun Chu smiled and said to Ye Chutang: "This restaurant is mine. You have never tasted many of the dishes. Come in and try them."
Anticipation showed on Ye Chutang's face as he strode into Wanggui Tower.
I haven’t eaten modern food for a long time, and I miss it a little.
But when she saw the food on the table, she shook her head in disappointment.
The name of the dish is fine, but the dish itself is not.
After all, vegetables in ancient times were not as abundant as they are today, and there were only a few kinds.
Fortunately, the taste is not bad and somewhat similar to the original.
Ye Chutang followed a diet regimen after she became pregnant and didn't eat much.
After the meal, Sun Chu asked the restaurant to send eleven tables of the best dishes to the post station.
There are ten tables for the National Protection Army and one table for the Qi family.
On the way back to the post station, the two bought some more things and their hands were full.
When passing by a rice shop, he encountered people making trouble.
