Chapter 2319: Chapter 2316: Bookkeeping Steward Gao Yunli
Ye Muyu tapped his finger on the table: “I estimate this won’t be a short time, at least five years. If you’re unwilling to go, I can send someone else.”
Ye Muyu always emphasized respect.
Tang Dongfeng contemplated for a while before asking, “Lady, what timing are you referring to?”
“Naturally, after the crisis erupts, only then will the importance of banning gambling be realized from above. I am keeping you out of this so you’re not implicated, besides, there are other businesses, there’s no need to particularly go after this piece of cake.”
Ye Muyu always practiced the principle of having to give up something to gain something, one can’t have everything without risking overindulgence.
“I understand.” Tang Dongfeng’s eyes lit up, feeling that Ye Muyu, though seemingly gentle, always acted brilliantly.
This time they’re targeting the gambling den of the Qi family, which can only pete in the capital, but the Qi family’s skin is so thick, surely the other gambling dens in the region will follow suit, once they taste the sweetness, they won’t easily let go of such a piece of fat meat.
Even if they later realize there will be trouble, given Elder Qi San’s narrow-minded disposition, he wouldn’t give up such a good business, only suppressing it forcefully.
But he hasn’t forgotten, there is now the Official Gazette Office.
Once things get heated, the Qi family won’t be able to keep it under wraps.
Besides, there are other wealthy scions in the capital, eyeing the silver earned by Elder Qi San’s casino, surely some are making moves behind the scenes.
Thus.
Trouble will inevitably arise.
By then, he might have already used the gambling den in Qingzhou to increase local tax revenues, being one of the local achievements, with Lord Chu advising that it’s better to control than ban, surely he will achieve his wishes.
By then, that’s when the real money-making happens.
What’s earning Ten Thousand Taels of silver a month?
When the big merchants all gather at the Qingzhou gambling den, making over a hundred thousand taels in one night won’t be a problem!
“Lady, I’m willing to go.” After careful consideration, Tang Dongfeng nodded in agreement, feeling that if this matter is acplished, achieving fame will not be difficult.
“Hmm, we don’t know how long you’ll be gone, take care and have a holiday during this period, rest well.”
“However, once you leave, you must leave me a few helpers.” Ye Muyu needed talent, it was truly scarce.
“No problem, I’ve brought some young lads with me before, should I bring them into the house for you to have a look?” Seeing Ye Muyu nod, Tang Dongfeng had no hesitation.
He first left the mansion, then went to find the three disciples who followed him.
Tang Dongfeng saw the first person still writing invoices at the dock.
Gao Yunli, an accountant at the dock, looked frail and scholarly, but his expression was firm, clearly not someone easily bullied.
“Gao, someone is looking for you.”
“Who?” Gao Yunli didn’t stop his actions, continuing to verify the accounts while watching goods being loaded onto the ships.
“Me.” Tang Dongfeng had a lot of connections, especially among the workers at the dock, knowing his identity, naturally dared not hinder him.
By the time Gao Yunli looked up, Tang Dongfeng had already reached his table, pouring himself a cup of tea and drinking it.
“Master?” Gao Yunli looked up surprised, seeing Tang Dongfeng with respect and seriousness.
“Master, why are you here to see me now, is there something?”
Gao Yunli proactively made tea for him.
“There is something, the lady asked me to bring you all to meet her.” Tang Dongfeng ate a few more roasted peanuts, clapped his hands and said: “If you get past the lady today, you’ll be considered graduated.”
