The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 474 Opening a Casino

When Lin Xiaofan heard this answer, he was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:

"I will find a new master for you. He is also very strong. You can learn martial arts from him. And if he stays in the capital, you can visit Xu Chun when you are free."

"Brother, we want to follow you."

The two little boys spoke firmly, more like they had already negotiated.

During the two days in the Zhao family, they often heard people from the Zhao family mention Lin Xiaofan. They also heard about Lin Xiaofan's previous achievements several times, and now they only have admiration in their hearts.

They were determined to follow Lin Xiaofan.

"Okay, let's go together."

Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, and taking the two of them was just an extra carriage, so it wasn't any trouble.

"The Emperor is here, the Queen Mother is here!"

Outside the door, the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly sounded.

"Go to the guest room."

Lin Xiaofan said.

He had already expected Kang Hong's arrival. And even if Kang Hong didn't come, he would still go to see Kang Hong before leaving to explain some things in preparation for the attack of the Sirius Kingdom.

"Meet the Emperor and the Queen Mother."

Lin Xiaofan stepped into the guest room, bowed and saluted.

"Brother Lin, no courtesy."

Kang Hong stood up hurriedly and walked over.

"Brother Lin, the country needs you now, and I still want to work with you to achieve great things, so why are you leaving in a hurry. You don't have to worry about Kangxi. As long as I'm here, he won't dare to do anything to you."

Speaking of this, he felt a little guilty. If he had been more decisive this morning, wouldn't Lin Xiaofan not be planning to leave?

But since he arrived in time, he had to persuade Lin Xiaofan no matter what.

"Lin Xiaofan. What happened to Kang Xi this morning was our fault. I will make amends to you. I will also help you persuade Kang Hong to make peace."

"And in more than half a year, your and Fengsheng's wedding will be coming, so why bother to go back?"

The Queen Mother began.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan smiled slightly and understood that the two of them had misunderstood.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the situation in the DPRK and China has stabilized now. Most of the courtiers are serving the country and the people. There is not much I can do if I stay here."

"And if I were here, I might cause discord between the clan members and the ministers in the court. It's better to let me go home."

If he doesn't want to leave, as long as Kang Hong doesn't follow him, there's nothing Kang Xi can do against him.

Kang Hong thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly. This seemed to be the truth, but he still felt a little bit shortchanged by just letting Lin Xiaofan go.

"No matter how strong the Tianlang Kingdom is, they can only deal with us secretly. But Daliang and Dashang in the west of Qingzhou may send troops at any time. Although General Jianfeng is strong, the Qingzhou Army under his command will not be able to defeat us in this battle. It’s a lot of damage and it’s very likely that it won’t be able to withstand it.”

"When I return to Qingzhou, if anything happens, I will always have someone to take care of me."

Lin Xiaofan continued to explain.

"However, there are still many well-established families in the city, and most of them are obedient on the surface, but secretly they are corrupt and oppressing the people. It will probably take a long time to deal with them."

Kang Hong said.

If these families are not dealt with, the development of Daqian will be greatly delayed, and it will be difficult to cope with the attack of the Sirius Kingdom.

But as long as they hide it well, it's not easy to find their evidence. If there is no evidence, there is no reason to attack them.

Lin Xiaofan smiled. He already had a plan in his mind. He organized his words and then said:

"This is easy to say. We just need to put all the money in their hands into the national treasury. In this way, the national treasury will be full and the country will develop much faster."

In the past ten years, Daqian has become like this. It seems that these officials are also corrupt. Swindle all their money out, at least several million taels of silver.

In this era, a piece of grain can buy one tael of silver, and a hundred taels of silver can buy a war horse. Several million taels of silver were enough to buy countless supplies from Datang.

The king of the Tang Dynasty was not stupid either. He could definitely see that the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom was plotting against Da Qian, and even more so against the Tang Dynasty.

Although troops cannot be sent for support without legitimate reasons, trade is still possible.

"Indeed, how can we get their money?"

Kang Hong looked bitter when he mentioned this.

Just ransack your home? Then Da Gan is in chaos.

Open a brothel? Or open a restaurant? Although these are profitable, if you want to get those people's money, you don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

And the money they make may not be as fast as they collect it.

Although he is the king, there are many things he cannot do.

"Open a casino."

Lin Xiaofan said slowly. It is true that you cannot get a lot of money quickly through conventional means, but in casinos, many people will spend a lot of money. As long as he can get the fish to bite the hook, he might be able to get all his money overnight.

Moreover, no one has developed a casino in this world, and people are much less wary of casinos.

The entry threshold for casinos should be set higher, requiring only a hundred taels of silver to enter, so as to prevent ordinary people from falling into it.

Secondly, the casino must be controlled by the court and no one else can open it, so as to ensure that this matter does not harm the country and the people.

Again, most of the time the casino ensures fairness and only takes a portion of the money. Only when facing a certain target, you will take action. This can ensure that people outside the target will only lose a part of their money at most.

And some people can make money from this, which is equivalent to publicity and can attract more targets to take the bait.

"What is a casino?"

Kang Hong suddenly became interested.

Whenever Lin Xiaofan said something he had never heard before, it would bring him a big surprise. This casino, maybe the same is true.

If we can rely on this thing to collect all the money from those who are corrupt officials and oppress the people, it will be a great blessing for Daqian.

"Your Majesty, please sit down and let's talk in detail."

Lin Xiaofan smiled slightly.

Although he didn't gamble in his previous life, he still knew some of the simplest gambling methods. As for defrauding someone's money, the method is very simple. First, give the other party some small profits to lure the other party deeper and deeper into the trap.

Wait until the other party relaxes their vigilance, and then make a big killing. At this time, the other party is definitely not willing to give in and wants to make more money, which will result in more losses.

When the sunk costs get higher and higher, the other party will get deeper and deeper into trouble, until all their wealth is gone and they still owe a large amount of money.

The two talked for a long time, until the sun was about to set, and the Queen Mother on the side reminded:

"Xiao Liuzi, we have to leave."

Only then did Kang Hong come back to his senses and touched his head:

"Look at me, I forget the time when I'm happy."

It's not his fault, it's mainly because what Lin Xiaofan said was so attractive that he couldn't help but want to listen to more.

After an afternoon of discussion, the two also discussed the preliminary plan for the casino.
