On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

"One hundred thousand!?"

Even though Zhang Li is a casino owner who has seen the world, she was still shocked by this huge number.

What does one hundred thousand taels of silver mean?

Looking across Daqian, an average family of three is considered well-off if they can earn five taels of silver a year.

The annual tax revenue for the entire Daqian was only six million taels.

And Lin Zhen actually said that he made 100,000 in three months!

Did he think too highly of himself, or did he think too highly of Zhang Li?

Zhang Li really didn't know how to use the casino to make 100,000 taels of silver in three months, so he could only bow and say, "Sir, making 100,000 in three months is nothing but a foolish dream. Please forgive me for not being able to do it."

"Yes, you can do it."

"Prince..." Lin Zhen showed a mysterious smile and led the way to the casino.

The person in charge of guarding the gate is the fat bodyguard, Han Zhong.

This man is a captain of the Longxiang Camp, one of the four major camps. He is very skilled in martial arts and is upright and incorruptible.

It's a pity that he is honest by nature and doesn't know how to adapt or flatter. He was often excluded and bullied in the camp, so he was sent by the deputy commander to protect Fatty Wang.

But he did not understand his leader's painstaking efforts and thought that he was transferred to the mansion as a punishment.

Therefore, he had many dissatisfactions with Lin Zhen and Fatty Wang.

Having said that, it is true that no military general would be happy if a captain in the army did not make any achievements on the battlefield, but instead spent his days accompanying a few playboys in fighting, eating, drinking, gambling and whoring.

When Han Zhong saw Lin Zhen coming over, his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose.

"Greetings, Prince." These four words were said lightly, without any respect.

Lin Zhen didn't care at all. He smiled and patted his shoulder: "If you don't want to stand guard here, go back to the barracks."

Everyone has their own aspirations, and Lin Zhen doesn't like to force others to do things, but at the same time, anyone who is willing to follow him will not lose out on benefits.

I remember when I first went to the grassroots level, the town office director assigned me a driver. He was a very smart and handsome young man. Later... there was no later, so I don’t want to tell you.

In a nutshell, anyone who truly follows Lin Zhen will not suffer any loss.

Inside the casino, there were servants from the Gu family complaining about moving things back and forth, which was very conspicuous.

"It's all because of that dandy guy in the palace. We even lost our jobs!"

"Exactly, where can I find such a lucrative job in the future?"

"What kind of prince is this? Bah! You're so shameless to open a casino with such a licking face! Isn't it shameful?"

Lin Zhen got furious when he saw this scene.

"Everyone, stop here!"

He wasn't angry because they cursed him behind his back.

If an official is not criticized, it only shows that he is incompetent.

The reason he was angry was that these people were moving all his things!

"Somebody come!"

At the sound of "someone coming", several bodyguards immediately rushed in with swords.

Lin Zhen shouted to the crowd, "Put down everything in your hands, or I'll be merciless!"

The servants in coarse linen clothes were so frightened that they dared not move and slowly put the things on the ground.

"Damn it, are you rebelling? There are no laws anymore? How dare you come to my territory and steal things?"

"Who asked you to come?"

A servant replied, "It was... Minister Gu. He said he wanted to take away all our Gu family's belongings..."

"Go back and tell him that everything in the casino belongs to me! You are not allowed to touch anything! Get out!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Go, go, go!"

"Hurry back and report to Prime Minister Gu!"

The servants were so frightened that they ran away, after all, what happened in the morning was still fresh in their minds.

Lin Zhen looked at their backs and cursed angrily again, then picked up an antique vase on the ground and placed it on the cabinet: "Such a good thing, just move it around like this, a bunch of prodigals."

"Hehehe, I didn't realize that the prince is so concerned about things."

"Don't waste. Waste is a great crime."

It was awkward to hear a prodigal son say that money shouldn't be wasted. Zhang Li simply rolled her eyes and said, "Sir, please tell me how to make 100,000 in three months, or I'll resign from you~"

Lin Zhen turned around.

In fact, he had already had a plan when he caused trouble in the casino.

Originally, this casino was used by the Gu family to launder money. Now that Lin Zhen's money is clean, there is no need to launder it at all, so the word "low-key" is no longer applicable. The influence of the casino must be expanded.

How do casinos make money? Two main reasons.

Cheating; lending money.

But both of these have a prerequisite, that is, people.

If no one comes to play, how can you make money? So, popularity is the most important thing.

Lin Zhen has a way to turn this casino into the Venetian of future generations.

As for how to cheat and lend money, that is Zhang Li's job.

Lin Zhen came up to Zhang Li and whispered in his ear in a very ambiguous tone, "I'm planning to hold a gambling king competition."

My ears feel itchy, as if a hyacinth has flown into my soul.

Zhang Li gave Lin Zhen a strange look and took two steps back.

"What good idea do I have? We are not a martial arts sect, why would we fight for supremacy?"

"You don't understand this, do you?" Lin Zhen calmly wandered around the casino, admiring his first property. "The winner of this competition will be crowned the Gambling King by the imperial court, and the whole nation will be informed. He'll enjoy royal treatment when he goes out, like a chariot, ceremonial guards, and so on."

What happened when Zhang Li heard this?

King of Gambling?

What kind of king is this?

Unless the emperor was crazy, how could he possibly appoint such a prince?

Zhang Li was so shocked that she could have swallowed an egg. "Prince, can His Majesty agree to your request?"

"This title is different from a prince; it's just a title. Aside from a bit of pomp and circumstance, it carries no real power or benefits. Many merchants and common people don't need money the most, but rather status and prestige! As long as we drop this bombshell, gamblers will surely flock to us."

"As long as there are people, with your ability, why would you worry about not being able to make money?" Lin Zhen looked at her confidently: "Just do as I say, and His Majesty's decree will come down soon."

Zhang Li was shocked beyond words.

That’s right, as long as there are people in the casino, it will make money, but the question is, can Your Majesty agree to such a thing?

If he agrees to crown gamblers as kings, then wouldn't thieves, robbers, and pimps also be able to be crowned kings?

Wouldn’t the country be in chaos then?

Zhang Li was trying hard to digest Lin Zhen's words, and the look she gave him no longer contained the contempt she had before, but there was definitely no admiration in her eyes either.

There is nothing worth appreciating about a dandy who can get along with such a bad idea.

"Sir, I want to make another bet with you."

"Oh? You said."

"If Your Majesty truly agrees, I will tell you a great secret about the Gu family. If Your Majesty disagrees, you will no longer have any connection with the Yuanda Casino, and I will control this casino myself."

Lin Zhen's smile was so cold that it made people's hair stand on end.

"Oh, what? You're still a little naive if you want to get something for nothing from me."

Lin Zhen likes ambitious people, but he doesn't like people whose ambition exceeds their loyalty to him.

Zhang Li looked away helplessly.

Lin Zhen said, "This is the last time you waver in your stance. If you do it again, I will completely crush you into dust."

"Remember, in this world, those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish."

"I'll take this bet." Lin Zhen paused and said, "But I have to add one more thing. If you lose, I need you to help me kill someone."
