How did I become king

Lu Gan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he took the papers and checked them one by one.

In the third year of Daxuan, the tenant farmer Zhu Dawu's family was beaten to death by the steward Yuan Fang, and his body was buried under the fertile field.

In the third year of Daxuan, Yuan Zhiying, the seventh master of the Yuan family, went to the streets, got drunk and made trouble, forcibly broke into the house to defile the good daughter Liu, killed Liu's family, and paid 300 taels for the arrest of the head of the yamen, and the case was hastily closed.

In the third year of Daxuan, the second son of the Yuan family was jealous in the Hualou, and killed the rich son He Jiacheng in the street...

This is a smart guy!I also know to vote for a certificate first!

Lu Gan glanced at Gongsunyang, put away the accusations in his hand, and said solemnly: "The Yuan family's crimes are heinous, and they should be punished! However, the Yuan family is powerful and backed by the eldest princess, it is difficult to eradicate it! You should lurk in the Yuan family first. , continue to collect evidence, and wait for my order!"

"Yes!"

Gongsunyang cupped his hands and took out a stack of gold tickets from his pocket: "By the way, my lord, this is the 5 taels of gold that Yuan Jiu gave you."

"Okay! This is 1000 taels, for you!"

Lu Gan accepted it with a nod, took out ten more and returned them: "Be careful, don't miss out on Yuan's house!"

"Thank you, my lord! However, Yuan Jiu has been getting very close to his eldest son Zhao Li recently. Zhao Li is suspicious by nature, so please send someone to beat this old man up. It's better to beat him badly. In this way, the subordinates can eliminate them after they go back. be wary!"

Gongsun Yang bowed his hands and bowed.

talent!Hard enough!I found a treasure!

A gleam of joy flashed in Lu Gan's eyes, and he frowned and said, "You make a lot of sense! But, can you hold on?"

"Your Excellency, just come! This old bone of this subordinate can still resist a few beatings!"

Gongsun Yang gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

"Okay! I've wronged you then!"

Lu Gan patted him on the shoulder, called Sun Hei, and took him to the prison together.

After being beaten with sticks, Gongsun Yang was beaten black and blue, covered with bruises, and his arm bones were broken, making him look extremely miserable.

Seeing his miserable situation, Lu Gan naturally comforted him again and again, and drew several big cakes for Gongsunyang.

Afterwards, Lu Gan personally sent Gongsun Yang out of the gate of Zhenfusi.

Seeing Gongsun Yang get into the carriage and go away, Zuo Xi frowned: "Lu Gan, do you really believe him? This is too easy, too coincidental."

Lu Gan squinted his eyes, and uttered a sentence coldly: "The heaven and the earth work together. This time, it is the heaven that will destroy the Yuan family."

Just as he was speaking, a carriage came galloping and stopped suddenly at the gate of Zhenfusi.

Ruoshui jumped out of the carriage all of a sudden, with a golden light like copper coins shining in his eyes, he said excitedly: "My lord! Our bookstore has made money! It has made a lot of money!"

Chapter 207

Money is the easiest thing in the world to get.

In the side hall, Lu Gan was sitting on a chair, counting the stack of thick bank notes in his hand, feeling relaxed and happy, refreshed, and completely exhausted.

On the side, Ruoshui was thinking about his abacus, his smiling eyes curved like a moon: "My lord, in one day, all the 180 million guidebooks printed by the bookstore were sold, and I received 180 million taels of silver, which is 18 taels of gold. After deducting the cost, the net profit is 6 taels." gold!"

"Huh? Exclusive monopoly, and the net profit is only [-]%?"

Lu Gan paused while counting the money, raised his head and frowned.

"There is no way, all the warriors in the Gang Qi Realm were hired for printing, and several printing factories were hired to help. The labor cost is a bit higher."

Ruo Shui smiled.

"So that's how it is. So how is the sale of "Hundreds of Business Tasting"?"

Lu Gan nodded and asked again.

"Tasting sold a little less, and there are 5000 copies left. But the net profit is also [-] taels of gold."

Ruoshui said, and handed over a stack of ledgers.

Lu Gan glanced at it for a while, put it aside, and was about to throw it to Xing Laodao to see later, and asked with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, someone should have come to see you!"

"A grown-up has insight into people's hearts, and a little girl admires it!"

Ruoshui smiled and flattered: "Those merchants and stores that have been rated with one star all come to the door with gifts, and are going to ask the bookstore to help them change their ratings. In addition, there are also some big merchants, big stores, who come to ask Why can’t they be included in the living and travel guidebook? Several people also hinted that if they can be included in the guidebook, they can be given a lot of benefits.”

"Hmph! After reading that guidebook, the number of customers increased dramatically. Some people are naturally jealous. How much do they pay?"

Lu Gan snorted softly, this situation had already been reached.

Ruoshui stretched out her white and soft palm, and Liwo smiled slightly: "They all give this at least! 5000 taels of silver!"

"Just want to be on the list for 5000 taels of silver? They are really calculating!"

Lu Gan pouted.

Not far from Zhenfusi is Taiping Xianju.When it was noon, he sent Cao Dun to investigate and found that the Taiping Xianju had been reserved for half a month.

The room rate has more than doubled!Even the woodshed has been taken over!It can be seen that the business is booming!

After this day, he earned more than 5000 taels of silver.

It's wishful thinking for those guys to use 5000 taels of silver to get on the list.

"My lord, shall we charge this money?"

At this time, Ruoshui asked.

"Accept, of course."

Lu Gan's eyes were sharp: "If someone is on the list, someone will naturally be off the list. Guess, the big merchants and stores that have been squeezed out of the list have tasted the sweetness, and naturally want to be on the list again. If this is the case, don't they obediently send money over? "

"Master is wise!"

Ruoshui's eyes brightened: "It's just that, how much is the money?"

Lu Gan sneered, and also stretched out a palm.

Ruoshui took a look and bit his lips lightly: "5000 taels of gold? This is indeed a reasonable price. Those big merchants gritted their teeth, and someone should give it to them."

"It's 5 taels of gold!"

At this time, Lu Gan put down his hand and spoke surprisingly.

"What? 5 taels of gold?" Ruoshui widened her beautiful eyes and was completely shocked: "My lord, this... is too dark! Who would give 5 taels of gold so much!"

"Humph!"

Lu Gan snorted coldly: "What I eat is the big family! Tell them, 5 taels of gold is the price of a yearly subscription! Only monthly subscriptions are fine, 8000 taels of gold a month!"

hiss.

How can you still play like this?

After listening to Ruoshui, she was astonished as a heavenly being, and felt that she had opened up a new world.

But she changed her mind, looked at Lu Gan, and slightly frowned: "My lord, if this story spreads, those big households will definitely scold you for being unscrupulous. This will damage your reputation! Or, should you reduce it a little?"

"Fame? How much is a reputation worth?"

Lu Gan glanced at her sideways: "Besides, what does Ruoshui Bookstore charge me to do to Fu Si Lu?"

"Uh……"

For a moment, Ruoshui felt that a big blame was placed on her head, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

"Don't worry, they paid the money voluntarily, so where can they go to sue? In the end, they don't sue to the Zhenfu Department. Do you think I will take care of them?"

Lu Gan waved his hand slightly and said calmly.

"The same is true."

After Ruoshui figured it out, he stopped entangled in this matter, and asked respectfully like a well-behaved schoolgirl: "Then Master Lu, the commercial hundreds of tastings are printed once a month, and we also accept the money from those small shops? How much is appropriate to charge? This morning, a storekeeper of Yuelai Inn came to the door and gave 100 taels of gold directly, wanting to change the evaluation of Yuelai Inn from one star to three stars."

"This money cannot be collected."

Lu Gan shook his head, his eyes were firm: "The big shops in that guidebook are actually not much different, and it doesn't matter who is on the list. But the business evaluation covers the entire county, and the most important thing is a fair one, so that people will buy it." .”

"Then they won't take their money?"

Ruo Shui sighed.

Although the money of these small households is small, it is still a considerable amount of money.

"Accept? Why don't you accept it?"

At this time, Lu Gan showed a strategic smile on his face: "We don't collect money directly, but sell good reviews?"

"Sell good reviews? What do you mean?"

Ruoshui froze for a moment.

Lu Gan explained: "Ruoshui Bookstore specially prints a kind of paper, stamps it with a special big seal, and sells it to various stores. Each store distributes these to customers who have consumed them, and then asks them to fill in comments. One month later, Ruoshui Bookstore Send someone to take back these papers, those with more positive reviews will be promoted, and those with more negative reviews will be degraded."

"Good review? Bad review?"

Hearing Lu Gan's words, Ruoshui fell into deep thought, and after a while, her eyes burst bright: "In this way, if that Yuelai Inn wants to be promoted, it will buy more of this kind of paper, and people will praise it! The more you have, the faster your star rise will be!"

After figuring it out, she couldn't help but look up at Lu Qian with a light of admiration and admiration.

What kind of brain is Master Lu to come up with such a way to make money!

One end sells books to the common people, and the other end receives benefits from the merchants. Both ends take all. Don’t even think about it, you know you’ll make a lot of money!

But after thinking about it, Ruo Shuiliu frowned again: "My lord, but in this way, many people will be fooled by those shops with good reviews. People feel that they have been deceived, will they turn around and scold our bookstore? I feel a little guilty about it.”

"How much is a catty of conscience? Besides, it's okay to be scolded. Will it delay our making money? No delay. Even if someone comes to your door, you just explain it casually. People with brains will turn around and scold the store for good reviews. It's not good at all. I will blame it on the bookstore."

Lu Gan put away the banknote and replied casually.

"That's the same reason."

At this moment, Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a soft smile, "Lord Lu, you are so smart! The little girl is so impressed! How did you come up with this idea?"

"I came up with it just by thinking about it. What's the difficulty?"

Lu Gan smiled indifferently, and took the credit for his previous life as a matter of course.

Afterwards, he looked serious and squinted his eyes: "In fact, the idea is not important. The important thing is the power in my hand. Without power, the money can't go into my pocket. If I collapse, all the good things in front of me will be lost." , will collapse in an instant and turn into ruins."

Because of this, he wanted to kill the Yuan family!

Behind the Yuan family is the eldest princess and the 23rd prince. With their presence, it is impossible for him to make money with peace of mind.

Ruoshui understood instantly, nodded and said: "Ruoshui knows, please rest assured, Sir, Ruoshui will be more cautious. By the way, something happened in the bookstore recently."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Lu Gan turned his head and asked.

"It's Feitianguan, Baiyue Liuguang Mountain. Their disciples had a dispute in the bookstore, fighting for the ranking of their respective sects' heavenly ranks. Later, things got serious, and they decided to compete in Qingyang Lake three days later. The incident seems to be a bit big, and many gambling stalls have already opened their markets."

Ruo Shui frowned and said.

"It's really unreasonable! These sect disciples held illegal assemblies and fought in private without reporting. It's simply lawless!"

When Lu Gan heard this, he slammed the table and got up, angrily.

Seeing this situation, Ruoshui couldn't help but praise in his heart: Mr. Lu really fulfilled his duties and spared no effort for the peace of Qingyang County. He is simply the master of Qingtian!

At this moment, Lu Gan turned his head and said coldly: "Ruoshui! Turn around and open a quiz with a prize at the bookstore. The money must not be made by those gambling stalls!"

"Ah? Ah!"

In an instant, Ruoshui was stunned, his jaw dropped from shock.

This familiar taste, familiar formula, is the Lu Gan she knew, and it has never changed.But how does it feel to be so respectable?

Ruoshui pondered for a long time, and finally a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Mr. Lu, he is a good man.

Chapter 208 The Immortal Guiding the Way

Since ancient times, the county magistrate who broke the family and the governor of the family.

From Ruoshui's point of view, Master Lu, as a fourth-rank official, earns money dignifiedly, without harming anyone or killing anyone, and his conscience is as big as the sun and the moon in the river and sea!

Just as he was talking, Sun Hei came to report: "My lord, the Liu family, the Cao family, and the Han family have sent invitations to invite Master Lu. The time and place are up to the adults."

"Huh! As expected of a thousand-year-old family, the sense of smell is keen, and when you perceive the huge benefits, you come here in droves."
