Chapter 85: It's All My Family
In the bright and spacious back hall of the gambling house, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on the main chair, looking at Mengluo standing in front of him with a curious expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Beside him, there stood a delicate girl dressed as a maid, her slender jade hand pinched the grapes from the fruit bowl on the table, skillfully peeled off the skin, handed it to Jiang Yun's mouth, and said sweetly: "Childe, please use it." ā
"Ouch, how can this be done, I'll do it myself." After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he opened his mouth and took the grapes into his mouth, sweet! I've never let people serve like this in my life, this kind of life is rotten!
The little maid glanced curiously at Jiang Yun, who was full of enjoyment, she was an orphan girl bought by Mengluo, and she was also a personal maid, responsible for the master's daily life, and she had always been very eye-catching. Although Jiang Yun is in tattered clothes and does not look amazing, but seeing his own young lady so respectful, he thinks that his identity is extremely noble, he thought that Jiang Yun would be pampered with such an identity, but he didn't want to be so approachable, which was very unexpected.
Swallowing the grapes in his stomach, Jiang Yun opened his eyes and looked at Mengluo again.
can hold positions in the Ancestral God Sect and the Dark Alliance at the same time, and the surname is Meng, the identity of the young woman in front of him is naturally about to come out. "Elder Sleepless Dream is yours?"
"Mother." Mengluo continued: "My mother has a heavy responsibility, so it is naturally inconvenient to marry others, so my subordinate father is a rich dreamer, and my subordinates follow their mother's surname. After the age of ten, he joined the Divine Cult, and at the age of fifteen, he learned and officially served as the master of the Dark Alliance. ā
"Oh, no wonder I said that you are a little familiar, it turns out to be the daughter of Elder Dream." Jiang Yun was stunned, and then doubted: "I don't seem to have seen you." ā
Mengluo smiled slightly. "When the lord ascends the throne, his subordinates are about to give birth, so it is inconvenient to show up. It was only at the beginning of last month that the recuperation was completed, but the Lord had already left the temple, so he had never seen each other. ā
"I mean, since you haven't seen me, how did you recognize me?" This problem is very serious, the long handsome is indeed easier to recognize, but no matter how handsome it is, it will not let a person who has never seen it recognize it in person, which is also too evil. Fortunately, she is her own person, in case she can easily recognize herself in the future, and she is a fart! If this question is not understood, Jiang Yun is afraid that he will not be able to sleep.
Meng Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then took out a delicate and small picture scroll from his cloud sleeve, took two steps forward and handed it to Jiang Yun. "After the Venerable Lord was appointed as the Holy King of the Divine Sect, the elders have ordered people to draw the appearance of the Venerable Lord and distribute it to the people. If something happens in the coming day, wouldn't it be that the water will wash away the Dragon King Temple and ruin the great affairs of the lord? ā
"Yes." Jiang Yun smiled. "Sister Luo, sit down, it's all your own family, don't be too restrained."
When Meng Luo heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't you dare to call your sister and brother with the lord, if you let your mother know, you will have to be severely punished." ā
"Hey! What a big deal. Jiang Yun smiled: "It's okay, my lord is also inexplicable, not so particular, rules, it's not too late to talk about it when I return to the temple." When you go out, being too restrained will inevitably attract attention, but it is not beautiful. Sister Luo, how old are you, just call me Xiaoyun. ā
"Yes, Honor... Small clouds. Mengluo smiled a little far-fetched, but still obediently found a chair and sat down.
Jiang Yun saw that she was still a little restrained, and couldn't help but casually pull up the routine. "Sister Luo is married and has children, I don't know who your husband is?"
Speaking of his father-in-law, Meng Luo smiled. "With our identity, it's not easy to find an outsider, my husband is also a member of the Divine Sect, one of the eight protectors, Ben Lei."
Ben Lei? Jiang Yun seemed to have some impressions, he had met him when he was sacrificing in Thundering Mountain that day, he was a burly man, but his temperament was a little muna, he seemed to be a little taciturn, he didn't like to talk to people, and he was also separated from other Dharma protectors when he walked, in short, he was a person who was not very gregarious.
"It's also a lot of money?"
"Not really." Meng Zhen smiled: "The dark alliance is a secret, not many people know about it, on the surface, the subordinates... I, like Ben Lei, are the protectors of the Divine Sect, and although my mother is an elder of the temple, she is not enough to let Ben Lei get into trouble, so I married him. ā
Jiang Yun nodded, thinking to himself. It seems that in the future, we will have to find an opportunity to transfer Ben Lei to the Dark Alliance. No matter what the relationship is, Jiang Yun's original intention will definitely not change, for the sake of long-term stability, the Divine Cult and the Dark Alliance must be clearly distinguished.
"What is this casino?" Seeing that the dream basket had gradually relaxed, Jiang Yun finally got to the point.
Meng Luo glanced at the maid, made a look and said, "Xiaolou, you go to guard the door, no one is allowed to come in." ā
"Yes, miss." Since becoming a dream maid, the young lady has never separated her from doing things, and now the things that the two of them are talking about is obviously extremely important, Xiaolou didn't say much, and walked out obediently, and stayed outside the door respectfully.
After there were only two people left in the house, Meng Luo said: "The goods stored in the temple by the Dark Alliance will never be allowed to be used easily for hundreds of years. Because except for the first generation of sect leaders, the previous sect leaders are not from the dark alliance, and if they are rashly used, it is very likely that the money will be exposed. The temple expenses are extremely huge, and over the years, the population of Shanyue has increased dramatically, and it is still too busy to take care of itself, and it has long been unable to support the temple. Therefore, we can only set up an industry in Yibei and earn silver taels. This is the income on the surface, and the sect masters of the past generations have also known it, and you have not been on the throne for a long time, so you do not know it yet. ā
"How many properties does the Divine Cult have in Yibei?" Jiang Yun is very interested in understanding his belongings.
Mengluo thought for a long time when he heard this, and then said: "There are 12 money villages, 16 cloth villages, 3 pawnshops, and some small industries that do not have much in the accounts, so they are set up less." Mainly restaurants, green buildings, gambling houses. There are about 70 rooms in total, and as long as there are people, there is our industry. ā
"How much does it cost?" It doesn't matter how much you have, it's how much you can earn.
"After deducting the cost, you can make a profit of about two million taels."
"So much?" Jiang Yun was overjoyed.
Before he could climb up to his eyebrows, Mengluo immediately poured a basin of cold water on him. "There are a lot of them, but not many of them. For example, taxes, such as gambling houses, Qinglou and other industries with extremely high incomes, taxes are also ridiculously high. This alone will cost about 200,000 taels of silver, and all forces will have to pay more than 200,000 taels to the top and bottom, especially the three major families, which will also cost more than 200,000 taels, and the 30,000 guards of the temple, just to feed them, it will take more than 700,000 taels a year, and the sect leader, the holy concubine, etc., will also need to be close to 300,000 taels. Finally, there is Shanyue, now the number of Shanyue has exceeded one million, and the Yinan Institute is no longer enough to feed them, so we need to smuggle goods, rice, grain, vegetables and fruits, and even animals from the mainland, in case we encounter officials and soldiers, or pirates, we will lose all our money, and we need to invest about 500,000 taels in a year. Therefore, the real surplus of silver is only more than 100,000 taels, and it will eventually be handed over to the sect leader for reward. ā
Jiang Yun was dumbfounded when he heard it, a loser! What a bunch of losers! Two million taels! All year round, there is not a dime left! He said, how could you meet a Siberian tiger in Yizhou in the first place, and you even introduced a tiger! In the end, I picked up a tiger skin and it was over, did you spend so much money? How many pigs is enough to buy a tiger's silver? How many meals are enough! No way! My heart began to hurt.
"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Jiang Yun's face was becoming more and more pale, Meng Yun couldn't help but ask with concern.
"No... Let me slow down first. After a long time, Jiang Yun finally relieved himself, pondered again, and couldn't help but be happy. Now that I am the sect leader and I don't have a holy concubine, if the rest of the money is not moved, that is, I can have 400,000 taels of silver at my disposal every year? ā
Mengluo nodded earnestly. "Yes."
"Okay, then you're busy, I'm leaving."
"Huh? Where are you going? ā
Jiang Yun rubbed his hands excitedly and said excitedly: "Gambling money!" ā
I have never been willing to gamble in my life, and now that I have opened a casino, how can I be worthy of my pale life in the past if I don't have a good time gambling? Eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking, this is a necessary stage of a man's growth.
