Chapter 221: Lost in money

Gu Shurui walked to Gu Lanzhi's side, and suddenly remembered that his brother was now the queen of a country. He slowed down half a step and followed behind Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi noticed Gu Shurui's actions and rolled his eyes at him.

Gu Shurui just smiled and said nothing.

Gu Lanzhi didn't say anything to Gu Shurui. This was ancient times, and Gu Shurui was willing to observe etiquette, so Gu Lanzhi couldn't force him to do anything.

It is New Year's Eve now, and the court is on holiday for fifteen days. There is no need to enter the palace without the emperor's summons.

So Gu Lanzhi saw many court officials in the villa, both high-ranking and low-ranking officials.

It is understandable. After working hard for a year, it is finally time to take a few days off and call friends to come to the villa to relax. It is also normal.

After all, this villa was built by Gu Lanzhi according to the model of bathing centers in later generations. All the leisure and entertainment projects available in this era are included in the villa, and the landscaping is also very beautiful.

There is a villa with everything built just outside the city. Who wouldn’t want to relax here during their break?

However, Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows when he saw that many court officials were accompanied by more than one girl.

There is no rule in Dongshun State that prohibits officials from visiting prostitutes. They are all male chauvinists and it is okay for them to find girls to accompany them for fun.

But these people who are usually serious and old-fashioned in the court are so open and bold in the villa, which really surprises Gu Lanzhi.

You can't just look at one side of a person; everyone has a side that is unknown to others.

Gu Shurui saw Gu Lanzhi's expression and said to him with a faint smile: "At least half of the villa's monthly income comes from these people. They are the villa's gods of wealth!"

Hearing this, Gu Lanzhi frowned slightly.

How about the price of his villa? Could it be that Gu Lanzhi didn't know?

He thought that after Li Beichen rectified the commercial tax, these ministers might become more financially strapped, after all, they had to pay very high taxes!

But now it seems that it is not what Gu Lanzhi thought.

These ministers still hold huge wealth in their hands!

In this case... Gu Lanzhi has nothing to worry about. He wants to open a new shop and charge sky-high prices for the goods in it.

Gu Lanzhi was eager to empty the petty cash reserves of these ministers.

But Gu Lanzhi still turned around and asked Gu Shurui, "Do ministers come to the villa to have fun every day?"

Gu Shurui nodded without stuttering, "Not only do ministers come to the villa every day, but many ministers have applied for monthly and annual cards at our villa.

Just like Mr. Li, he now lives in the villa. "

Gu Shurui signaled Gu Lanzhi with his eyes and looked at the adult who was surrounded by people.

When Gu Lanzhi looked over, he saw that Mr. Li was disheveled, his hair was a little messy, and his face was drunk.

The girls serving him on both sides, one was pouring wine for him with a sweet smile, and the other was holding a grape to her lips, leaning over and using her lips to put the grape into Lord Li's mouth.

When Lord Li saw the beauty right next to him, he reached out, grabbed the back of the girl's head, and kissed her fiercely.

Although Gu Lanzhi's face showed no expression, he was secretly complaining in his heart, "Isn't it said that the ancients were conservative? This... in public, how can there be any conservativeness!

Were the ancients so unrestrained when they went to places of entertainment? They didn't even go to the private rooms?"

Gu Lanzhi's original idea for building the villa was that guests who needed some colorful services could go to the private rooms. After all, if the door was closed, who would know what you were like inside.

The lobby is just for receiving ordinary customers.

But now seeing Lord Li sitting in the hall without any scruples, Gu Lanzhi really didn't expect it.

Moreover, this Lord Li almost lives in the villa, so the amount of his consumption is not so simple.

Gu Lanzhi calculated silently, then looked at Lord Li again in surprise.

Gu Lanzhi remembered that this Lord Li was the Minister of the Imperial Household, a third-rank official.

But it is definitely impossible to have so much money to live in the villa all the time with only the salary of a third-rank official.

So the question is, where did this Lord Li get the money?

Lord Li doesn't have a family with a strong background, and I haven't heard that his family has done any business, so...

Gu Shurui watched his brother staring at Lord Li with his eyes changing all the time. After thinking for a while, Gu Shurui anxiously grabbed his brother's arm.

"Brother, you... this villa is yours, don't destroy the God of Wealth."

Gu Shurui is not an idiot, he just didn't like to use his brain before. Now that he has helped Gu Lanzhi manage the business for such a long time, his brain has become active again.

Looking at Gu Lanzhi's reaction, he could almost guess what his brother was thinking.

Gu Lanzhi turned around and looked at Gu Shurui's anxious look, and burst out laughing.

He pointed his finger at Gu Shurui's forehead and said, "Are you obsessed with money now?

Is our business not enough? Isn't the money you earn enough? Is it that we lack someone like Mr. Li?

You have to know that your brother is now the queen, and the emperor is your brother-in-law!

His Majesty is now vigorously rectifying the court. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could help him find some parasites and corrupt people?

Don't you want to see our Dongshun Kingdom become more and more prosperous?"

Gu Shurui was anxious, "Oh, that's not what I meant! I know what you are thinking, brother.

I just... just... just feel a little bit sad."

"Hahahahahahaha…you just have an eye for money!"

At this point, Gu Lanzhi stretched out his hand to hold Gu Shurui's shoulder, "Shurui, what about money? You can never make enough of it. Who doesn't like money? Everyone likes money.

But we feel at ease with some of the money we earn, but not with some of the money we earn.

Just like Lord Li, he was a third-rank official, and he didn't have a large family, and his family didn't do any big business.

So, where did he get all this money? "

Gu Shurui sighed, "I know, brother, you want to say that this Lord Li is not a good official."

Gu Lanzhi stroked Gu Shurui's hair with relief, "He is not a good official. What will be the consequences if he is allowed to stay in the court?"

Gu Shurui sighed again, looked in the direction of Lord Li, and finally nodded to Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi patted Gu Shurui on the shoulder and said, "No matter what you do, you must have your own bottom line.

Besides, your brother is the queen now after all. As his younger brother, shouldn’t you bring honor to your brother?

If you see someone like Lord Li next time, go to the back and tell those people to investigate. "

While saying this, Gu Lanzhi even blinked at Gu Shurui.

Of course Gu Shurui knew what Gu Lanzhi was talking about, and he smiled.

He has now identified himself with the identity of a businessman, and it is understandable that businessmen value profit. Therefore, Gu Shurui now looks at everything from the perspective of money first, and there is nothing to say about it.

He just ignored his brother's current identity.

Gu Lanzhi is now helping Gu Shurui to sort out his identity, so Gu Shurui will know what to do in the future.

Gu Shurui is not stupid. If he were stupid, he would not have been able to manage all of Gu Lanzhi's businesses so well so quickly.

In this regard, Gu Lanzhi still trusts Gu Shurui very much.
