I took Wu Song to the palace in a hurry, looking very anxious. What did you say? Why am I in such a hurry? Of course, I want to make a deep contribution to the financial revenue and intelligence gathering work of my Great Song Dynasty to a higher level

Soon Wu Song and I arrived at the gate of the palace, and we happened to see Fang Kong standing there, who seemed to be reprimanding the two newly hired imperial guards

"What are you both ears doing?! What's the matter with the chicken feathers being blocked?! How many times have I told the two of you, you are not allowed to leave your post without permission during the duty period, you said that you two too, you have to go to the last thatched house together, I don't know if you have to leave one person to stand guard, and the two of you go together, you can still lose it if you go alone, or what is the matter with the eagle in your mouth...... "I looked at Fang Kong and constantly criticized the two young guards with a look of hatred for iron and steel

"Ahem, ahem." I coughed lightly twice to alert Fang Kong of my arrival

"What are you coughing about, your throat is stuck with chicken feathers...... Fang Kong turned his head, I saw a very distorted face, and Fang Kong saw that the person behind him was me, and he was almost scared on the spot, and quickly said to me very flatteringly: "Oh, master, you are back, please hehehehe." ”

How does this sound so familiar, how do I always feel that I have heard it there, but I am in a hurry, so I don't have time to care about Fang Kong scolding me just now, I said to him: "Fang Kong, immediately arrange for someone to go Tiehu, Liu Shihai, Zheng Junyan and Kaifeng Mansion Yin Wangjin, call me to my imperial study." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will arrange this matter immediately." As soon as Fang Kong heard that there was a task, his face immediately became serious

"I guess there's no problem with my voice." I said this coldly, and I almost paralyzed Fang Kong

"Heh, he, he, he" Fang Kong laughed like a little paralyzed crying. Looking at Fang Kong, I was so frightened that I was in a cold sweat, and my mood instantly refreshed a lot

When I was about to arrive at the imperial study, Xiaodouzi and Yudie, who received the news of my return, were already waiting for me at the door of the imperial study, and waiting for me in the imperial study, it seemed that not only the two of them, but I also felt a burst of murderous aura

When I pushed the door and entered the study, I saw my Queen Mother sitting on the sitting, her originally kind face was now expressionless, and my dear four wives were also sitting on the couch, and their faces were also covered with frost

I turned around and glared at Xiaodouzi and Yudie viciously, and whispered, "Who stabbed me out, said." ”

"Don't blame the two of them, it's the mourning family that forced the two of them to say it." The Queen Mother's mother said out loud at this time

"The son has said goodbye to his mother." I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to my mother

And the Queen Mother didn't seem to want me to sit down, and she then said to me, "Where is the emperor tonight?" ”

Your old man knows and asks. I thought depressedly, but I couldn't say that, "Well, my son went to inspect the market tonight, and wanted to expand the business scope of our Royal Comptoir Bank." I smiled flatteringly

"Oh? Really? What did the emperor do when he went to the Yanyu Building, but also to expand the business scope of the royal firm? "The queen said to me unkindly

"Of course, if my son is going to do in those places."

As I was talking, Tiehu's voice came from outside the imperial study: "Minister, Tiehu, I am summoned to come to the imperial front to see me." ”

Oh, Lao Tie, savior, I love you to death, I immediately said to the Queen Mother's mother and my wives: "You see that Tiehu is coming, I called him here for official business, and the people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the people of Kaifeng Mansion will come in a while." ”

"Okay, for the sake of the mother, I believe you for the time being, let's go to the ear room and listen, if you are because of personal matters, or for which red card girl, hum, see that the mother will not break your ears." The Queen Mother's mother threatened me. Alas, it's also embarrassing for her old man, my wives are watching here, and she can't openly favor me

"You can listen, but you can't make a sound, and you can't interfere." The flattering smile on my face has been put away, replaced by an extremely serious imperial face, I turned to Yudie and the queen and the other four maids and said, "Help the Empress Dowager to go to the ear room to serve tea, a few of you, take your master with you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The instant change in my face shocked them women at that time, well~ The effect is good, so I'll do it in the future

"Minister, Liu Shihai, Zheng Junyan, Wang Jin, summoned to meet Your Majesty." Outside the door came the voices of several other people

After watching the Queen Mother and the others enter the ear room, I walked to the back of the dragon case and sat down, and said to Xiaodouzi: "Let them come in, and then hurry up and bring me a cup of tea, after talking for so long, my mouth is dry." "I won't pour water on all the evil feudalism

"Ministers, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." The four of them bowed to me in unison

"Flat, sit, watch tea." Since I don't like the ministers kneeling down to me after the next court, as long as I am not at the court meeting now, the ministers will bow to me with their fists in their fists

"Your Majesty." The four of them were divided into about half an ass and sat down

Since Liu Shihai had the highest rank, he took the lead in asking me: "I don't know what the emperor summoned his ministers to order?" ”

"Liu Aiqing, how are our royal post station transportation, taverns, inns, green houses, and gambling halls along the way?" I asked

"Back to the emperor, the taverns and inns of the various post stations along our way are doing better, while the gambling halls are only available in the larger post stations, as for the Qinglou...... That's it...... Not very ideal. ”

"Then, what if those green buildings are in various cities?"

"The competition is too fierce, even if we vigorously open a green building, but we don't have so many beautiful girls in our hands."

"Iron Tiger, where is the most extensive source of all our intelligence gathering work?" I asked Tiehu Dao again

"Back to the emperor, the most extensive information benefits are taverns, inns, casinos and Qinglou, but our own Qinglou gambling house is not very effective."

"I went to Yanyulou today to do an investigation, their annual income will be about 400,000 or even higher, I have about 23 Qinglou similar to the size of Yanyulou in Bianliang City, and there are about 40 casinos on a larger scale, if the annual income of a Qinglou is 400,000 Guan, then these 23 Qinglou can have more than 9 million yuan a year, plus the casino, this is still only the gambling halls and brothels in the capital, and most of these gambling houses and brothels are forced to prostitute themselves, There are even crimes such as murder and extermination, and the bodies of those girls are not checked and conditioned for health due to long-term pick-up, and many of them have willow disease. Zheng Junyan, by your Ministry of Rites issued a management measure for various green buildings and gambling halls across the country, the day after tomorrow, the Daqing Palace, and the Great Dynasty will be reported,"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Junyan replied
