Chapter 68 Six Gates Have Money
"Is this your mount? It's so majestic?" Si Lili and Shen Qingzhou returned to the mansion. Seeing him come back to feed the horse first, she followed him.
Seeing Bai Long, she frowned a little. It was okay that he was tall, but the horse was taller than ordinary horses. If it stood next to other horses, it was obviously two sizes bigger. If she wanted to jump on the horse gracefully, she would have to use Qinggong. She thought too much. She couldn't ride it. Bai Long only recognized Shen Qingzhou.
After such a long period of transporting qi and blood, Bai Long has changed a lot, except for the speed that he cares about. Some time ago, Bai Long was having fun in the yard. He was so happy that he jumped directly over the wall. This is the mansion of a wealthy family, it was exaggerated.
Shen Qingzhou even experimented with it deliberately, and no one would believe it if he told others about it. It seemed that Bailong had mastered the art of lightness.
It is normal to walk directly on the edge of the wall. It can even walk directly on the wall. Although it cannot do so for a long time, Shen Qingzhou is very suspicious based on this performance. Is it possible that Wang Qinian can no longer catch up with the white dragon?
Shen Qingzhou didn't understand how it could be so flexible with such a huge body, but never mind, horses are good at running, and this is a way to make use of its strengths. Level 4 in equestrianism has already made the horse evolve.
The white dragon is no longer tied up, and the reins cannot restrain it, but it will not leave. Its master is here, and it can evolve, but it has Shen Qingzhou's blood and qi seeds.
Shen Qingzhou has also gotten used to it. He comes back to see Bailong, which can be considered a pet in a sense. In real life, his family has a local dog, which he really wants to pet.
At night, Si Lili had to do what she was supposed to do. She had already given herself to Shen Qingzhou, so there was no need to pretend.
Si Lili was actually a little scared because she was too tall, and some things were quite shocking in size. In particular, Shen Qingzhou was so shameless that he told her he wanted to go somewhere else. She simply couldn't accept it and had never thought about it, so she could only give up.
……
After Si Lili entered the Shen Mansion that time, she came every now and then. She couldn't refuse Shen Qingzhou until Shen Qingzhou was called into the palace by the Queen again.
“Qingzhou, you are also a young hero. You should not be so indifferent to your reputation.” Inside the queen’s bedroom, the windows were wide open, and the sunlight shone in, making the ground golden.
However, Shen Qingzhou smelled smoke and knew there must have been candles before he came. Forget it, just take it one step at a time.
"Qingzhou knows that after returning, you should be careful with your words and actions."
"I called you here at this time because I have something for you." With a slight wave of her hand, a palace maid brought some things.
"Land deeds, aunt, here." Looking at the land deeds in front of him, Shen Qingzhou was a little frightened. He had to take revenge.
"These things originally belonged to you. I'm just keeping them for you. But you are too young. I'll give you some of these things slowly when you get married and start a family." The queen looked at Shen Qingzhou and felt emotional. If her parents and relatives were still alive, they would also support this younger generation in this way.
After this incident, Si Lili still came, but always at night, unlike before, when she would come and leave in broad daylight, which was too obvious.
The lottery thing was also slowly getting on the right track. Most people in Kyoto knew about this new thing. Kyoto was the trendiest place in Nanqing. Once Kyoto became popular, the states and prefectures under its jurisdiction naturally became popular as well. Many people were watching.
It was also because of this incident that the Six Gates' progress in catching bandits slowed down, which made the bandits in Qing State feel a little relieved.
Before, when the Six Gates were hunting down people all over the country, no one took it seriously at all, thinking it was just another gust of wind. Even if they couldn’t defeat me, they couldn’t hide.
But who knows where these masters came from, they seemed like they were not human. Each of them was good at group combat. At first, they thought it was funny to see a bandit camp surrounded by just one person, but then they were terrified.
The reason why the progress was so fast was that the targets of the police chiefs were small, and there were too many bandit camps that were destroyed because they underestimated the enemy. The police chiefs had already divided the areas during this period. There must be police chiefs in the major prefectures of Qing Kingdom, but there were not so many people distributed in the counties under their jurisdiction. However, the bandit camps had been cleared out, so it was impossible for them to appear immediately.
During this period, the task of the captains is to open Yellow Crane Tower in major provincial capitals, and then slowly expand to the counties. Eighth-rank masters can maintain it for the time being.
About two months later, Shen Qingzhou, who had just finished a court meeting, received excellent news.
During the past two months, Shen Qingzhou said little in the court, and Emperor Qing did not ask about the progress of the Six Gates, even though the Six Gates had become very popular in Kyoto, with too many news reports of people getting rich overnight.
There are seven or eight people who win the first prize, but there are many more who win the second and third prizes. This is also an incentive for everyone to buy lottery tickets. Otherwise, there is only one winner per draw, and there is no motivation.
In fact, there should be some way to accumulate bonuses, but since this is a new species, the simpler the better.
"My Lord, this is the prize money this time. After receiving the prize money, we still have 110,000 taels left."
The lottery turned a profit for the third time, but every time after deducting the prize money, all the remaining money was given out for advertising. In addition to major teahouses, Liujing River is now the best partner for Liushenmen.
It is very convenient to transmit information through brothels. Not only Nanqing, but also Northern Qi would probably know about this matter through brothels.
"So many? This time, 50,000 taels are allocated as the first batch." Shen Qingzhou was a little surprised. It seemed that there were only 30,000 taels left last time. It seems that the advertising effect has begun to explode.
"My Lord, there is one more thing. Someone has already started imitating our lottery. I don't know how we should act."
"No leniency. Only our Six Gates can do this." Shen Qingzhou said. There was no need to tell them what to do, as long as they didn't kill innocent people. However, those who could do this couldn't be innocent.
"My Lord, you are wise." The visitor was very happy. He saw that his brothers were going to get rich. Anyone who dared to interfere would have his claws chopped off.
"My Lord, I wonder what the silver will be used for this time?"
"30,000 taels will be used to continue the publicity. The matter of our Six Gates headquarters will be put on the agenda. 50,000 taels will be used as the down payment to start building the Six Gates headquarters. 10,000 taels will be used as the bonus for the brothers this month."
"My Lord is wise."
Half a month later, we arrived at the Liushenmen base, where work was in full swing, breaking the original tranquility.
This is where the Queen's family lives. The last time the Queen summoned him to the palace, she gave him this land deed. She should have known that the Six Gates were having trouble finding a place to stay.
Land in Kyoto is very expensive. It is not difficult to buy a small house, but it is very difficult to find a large place for residence. It is easy for the court to distribute it, but now, Emperor Qing deliberately ignores the Six Gates, so Shen Qingzhou has to find a way on his own. Emperor Qing wants to control him, he is overthinking it.
However, Shen Qingzhou also felt it was quite strange that these six gates were responsible for their own profits and losses, making them seem like his own private army.
But he knew clearly that Emperor Qing was waiting. If the economy developed, he would be taken away with a transfer order. If the economy failed to develop, he would be punished.
However, he felt that Emperor Qing should be interested in Liushenmen. After all, the fact that Liushenmen was rich should be well-known in the past half month.
