Yuan Bao didn't expect that Zhang Ren suddenly hugged him. This action made his face redder, and he opened his eyes wide, showing an incredible look.
"Thank... thank me?" Yuan Bao asked with a blushing face.
Zhang Ren nodded, "Of course I have to thank you. Some problems troubled me very much. Thanks to you, I came up with a solution."
Now that he had thought of a way, Zhang Ren didn't want to wait for a moment. He waved to Yuan Bao and ran out of the woods.
Yuan Bao looked at Zhang Ren blankly, and couldn't help but smile a little. The breeze blew slowly across his face, but it couldn't take away the rosiness on his face.
Yuan Bao came to Liuli's grave and sat on the ground with his chin in his hands, "Although I haven't...never seen you, you must be very...beautiful, right? I really envy...envy you, but I also I'm...very happy, because he said that I am...his lucky star."
Yuan Bao just sat like this, smiling contentedly.
…
Zhang Ren went all the way back to Jinyiwei. He found Ji Gang's residence, but found that Ji Gang was not here. He walked around for a while before finally finding someone on the Jinyiwei campus.
What Zhang Ren didn't expect was that Ji Gang was actually practicing martial arts in the school grounds, and he looked quite serious.
Zhang Ren stepped forward and said, "You said yesterday that your legs hurt from walking. If you don't have a good rest today, why did you come to the school to practice martial arts?"
Ji Gang still showed a flattering smile and said: "Sir, I do have leg pain these days, but now we are facing the Jiumen. If we are not careful, we will die. I want to practice martial arts more, no matter how hard it is. It’s better than losing your life, right?”
Zhang Ren really didn’t expect that Ji Gang could actually have a diligent side. However, as Ji Gang is in his twenties, it is really too late to practice martial arts now, especially the internal strength that needs to be accumulated. Unless he encounters an unexpected encounter, he will become a success in this life. No more masters.
However, it is beneficial to practice more. At least it can strengthen your body. If you polish your external skills in the future, even if your internal skills are not good enough, you might be able to become a master of external skills like Senior Sister Li Xue.
Zhang Ren patted Ji Gang's shoulder and encouraged him: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
There is no such thing as cheering up in this era, but Zhang Ren often says words that people don't understand, so generally no one cares.
Ji Gang has been in the underworld for a long time and is very accurate in judging people and things. He found that Zhang Ren's mood was much better today, and the cold aura on his body had disappeared. He said: "I must work hard in my humble position and strive to become an adult as soon as possible." His right-hand man. I see you look good today. Could it be that you are happy about something?"
Zhang Ren snapped his fingers and said, "Smart, I like smart people like you."
Ji Gang quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary. This little intelligence from a humble position is far inferior to Your Majesty's case."
Although Zhang Ren knew that Ji Gang was flattering, he also felt that he was definitely a smart person. He didn't want to talk more about these useless flattery, so he went straight to the topic and said: "I want to do some profitable business, and I need a lot of help." , and all the nine gates have disappeared recently, we might be able to use this opportunity to unify the underworld in Jinling City, what about it? Are you interested?"
The profitable business can unify the underworld, and with the help of his identity as a royal guard, then in the future, both black and white will not take it all? Thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel happy. Of course Ji Gang is interested, but Ji Gang is not stupid. He knows that doing this will take great risks. It is easy to make money, but unifying the underworld is definitely not a simple matter. He needs to work with The forces of all parties are competing. Moreover, although the Nine Sects have gone silent now and have broken several doors, their foundation has not been shaken. As long as the Nine Sects gather their strength to fight back, there is no doubt that his body will be wiped out.
And based on Ji Gang's understanding of Zhang Ren, he knew that Zhang Ren was a person with a righteous heart. It is impossible for such a person to change his mind overnight. It should be noted that most of the underworld's activities are shady. make a living.
After weighing several times, Ji Gang said: "I wonder what you are going to do, sir? What else do you need to do in a humble position?"
Ji Gang did not agree or refuse outright. He needed to know more about Zhang Ren's plan so that he could judge the pros and cons.
Zhang Ren said: "Do you know about lottery tickets? Let's start by selling lottery tickets!"
"Lottery? I've never heard of it before." Ji Gang asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Zhang Ren then explained: "Just find some slips of paper, write the numbers on them, stamp them, and then divide them into two. Keep one piece in the buyer's hand, and keep one in the seller's hand and put it in a sealed box. When the lottery comes, we, as the seller, randomly select one from the box, and as long as the numbers match, the buyer can use the half of the card in his hand to claim the prize."
Lottery was definitely a new thing for that era. There were indeed many types of lottery, such as scratch tickets, six plus one, football lottery, and double-color ball. However, these were too complicated and somewhat difficult to operate, so Zhang Ren thought of this simpler lottery ticket.
Ji Gang originally ran a casino, and he could figure out the beauty of the lottery with just a little thought. His eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but admire: "Wonderful, wonderful, your master's brain is really beyond the reach of other people."
If the previous praise was flattering, then the current praise is definitely from Ji Gang's heart.
Then he asked: "I just don't know how much the lottery is priced at? How much is it divided into? How much money will be given to the winner?"
Zhang Ren had already thought about these things clearly, and he said, "Let's divide our lottery tickets into two types. One is sold for one copper plate, and the other is sold for one tael of silver. For example, if a lottery ticket with a copper plate sells a thousand tickets, that is One thousand coins, of which four hundred coins will be distributed to the winners. One hundred coins will be used as a fund to help the poor people and the beggars in Moss Village. You and the staff will get 20%, totaling two hundred coins. It is up to you to decide how to distribute it. I own 20%. Isn’t this too much? The last 10% will be given to the government as taxes. Moreover, our lottery must have regulations. Each person can only buy one ticket per issue. If you buy more than one, you will be punished once you find out. Disqualification from the lottery will prevent someone from going bankrupt buying a lottery ticket.”
Zhang Ren has thought very carefully, and Ji Gang has also seen great business opportunities. As long as he does this business well, he will definitely make a lot of profits.
Ji Gang then asked: "This lottery ticket can indeed make a lot of money, but if it is sold too much, it will inevitably attract others to covet it. What should I do if someone comes to make trouble? Moreover, this lottery ticket does not sound difficult, and others can learn it. , what if others also learn from us?"
