Chapter 1319: Like a Turtle in a Wishing Well (Part 1319) [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

Prostitution and gambling have always been highly profitable industries.

Especially in the chaotic times when human trafficking was still legal, many common people were worth less than an old ox plowing the field. The profiteering business was not decent, but it made money quickly, and even the self-proclaimed noble families would get involved.

However, they do not directly own such properties, but usually pass them on to other hands, or have their children take over. More often, it is the casino owners who take the initiative to pay their respects. The bosses bear all the operating risks, and the bulk of the profits go to the big tree that protects the casino.

Why does Shen Tang know it so clearly?
She smashed every casino in Kangguo. She found that they all used the same trick. Shen Tang was also good-tempered and did not raise the butcher knife. Instead, she pointed the sharp blade at their wallets.

Want money or death?

Everyone chose to die.

It is easy to destroy the casinos in public, but it is not easy to destroy the dark places hidden in residents' houses. So far, they are still playing hide-and-seek. The yamen runners chase and intercept them, but they fail three or four times out of ten because of tip-offs. The gamblers who are caught will be imprisoned and fined.

After being released from labor reform, gamblers continue to rack their brains to find places to gamble, and to play tricks on the government to gamble under other names... With this kind of brainpower and perseverance, what can't they succeed in? It's a waste of God's gift!
Counties and states across the country have many complaints about this.

What is the point of cracking down on casinos?

Firstly, the local government loses income, and secondly, catching and releasing gamblers is a waste of manpower. This is the same as controlling a flood, it is better to drain it than to block it. Since it is impossible to stop it with severe punishment, it is better to let it go directly and let them gamble to their heart's content.

If the government imposes the heaviest tax on casinos, it will have money.

Shen Tang directly wrote a red-letter comment to this smart guy, with a bunch of greetings, and dug up his connections, criticizing his teachers and teachers. If you can't teach and educate people, don't embarrass yourself. If you can't promote talents, don't look for them. Where can you find such a cute little brain? Finally, he criticized the Ministry of Personnel, how did they evaluate the year-end assessment?

[What kind of ancestor gave birth to such a brainless descendant? Do you think you have the best brain? I have worked hard for more than ten years to make people well fed and clothed, but this idiot wants everyone to die? The local tyrants and local bosses opened casinos to bring disaster to the people. If the bosses are changed to the royal court and government, it will benefit the country and the people? The pig brain doesn't think that if this matter can be relaxed, will the government encourage people to go to the casino for money? If the government is short of money, won't they think of using this method to extort the people's fat and blood? ]

Gambling will inevitably give rise to various forms of private usury.

How can anyone avoid getting skinned when encountering loan sharks?

Then I suggest that the government should also secretly engage in the loan sharking business, so that the benefits can be kept within the family, right?
Wow, the closed loop is completely completed.

In Kangguo, fighting may only be punished with verbal education, but pornography and gambling will definitely require imprisonment for reform.

Depending on the amount of money, the reform time ranges from seven days to half a year. The fine is generally three to ten times the amount. If you can't pay the fine, the labor reform time will be extended. Jail is not free. The government gives a 30% subsidy, and the remaining 70% needs to be paid by the prisoners themselves. Those who can't pay will have to do physical labor in exchange. To prevent the jailers from abusing their power, these people will be divided into men and women, and they will be supervised by the local Zhechongfu. This move also caused many complaints from the Zhechongfu, and it was proposed that these people could be trained and sent to the front line.

Those who survived and made meritorious contributions were registered as good citizens.

The rest will die if they die.

Many people who are addicted to gambling have their families destroyed, their limbs broken, but they still refuse to turn back. They are ruined at the root.

Keeping them is a waste of food and government subsidies.

Shen Tang: [……]

As the ruler of a country, she sometimes wondered what sins she had committed in her previous life to have to suffer such a hard life in this life?
In Kangguo, pornography and gambling are severely cracked down.

This is also one of the ways Shen Tang makes money.

She is really short of money now.

She would not look up the old accounts before Kangguo came in, and everything followed the old laws of their homeland. But the new accounts after Kangguo came in, they had to follow the laws of Kangguo! If she violated the laws of Kangguo, wouldn't that be a fine for her, Shen Youli? A fine to death!
Cui Zhi lowered his eyes and observed Shen Tang's reaction with his peripheral vision.

The latter's face showed no obvious emotion, and Cui Zhi didn't know her true mood at the moment, but he knew that his goal had been achieved. Speaking of which, it was also because he didn't teach his daughter well, and he didn't know that his daughter Cui Long was so bold. After the family dinner that day, the father and daughter talked about everything. To be precise, he used the lives of several male lovers who were traitors to his daughter to force her to confess everything.

Cui Zhi felt a string in his head beating.

He laughed in anger and said: [You dare to think and do it! ]

Once again, I reflected on whether I had missed my daughter's monthly period.

After reflecting on it, I still have to clean up the mess for my daughter.

All sensitive industries were cut off.

Cui Long said: [Grandfather has mentioned this before, and has already stopped.]

It takes time to arrange staff for each link. She has been busy with this matter for some time. She has sealed up what needs to be sealed and sent away what needs to be sent away. Cui Long did not come forward directly. Even if this matter is dug up by others, it should not be her fault.

Cui Zhi said: [You are naive. ]

Or too kind-hearted.

The resettlement measures that they thought were comprehensive were full of loopholes.

These people are not from a family, and they are involved in this kind of gray business. How can a sum of money to settle down completely buy them out? How long can this money support them? People who have been raised with big appetites and are used to making money in a highly profitable industry, how can they honestly return to the hard days of men farming and women weaving and relying on the weather for food? It is inevitable that they will return to their old jobs, and it is also inevitable that they will sell her out for profit.

If it were Cui Zhi, silencing would really mean shutting up forever.

While the local war has not yet ended, they can frame any warlord they want, and there will be no evidence to prove it after investigation.

Cui Long is not as cruel as her father who treats human life as dirt.

She also didn't want to kill so many people because of a possible risk, including some who had risked their lives for her.

Cui Zhi has his own reasons for being ruthless.

He first received a message that one of these people was missing. After careful investigation, he found that this person was drunk and had revealed a crucial clue that was noticed by the enemy. In order to save his daughter, Cui Zhi had to take the initiative. It happened that Shen Tang gave him a chance.

Shen Tang likes Bailongyufu, loves to join in the fun, and likes to fight for justice, but he is the ruler of a country after all, and his whereabouts are erratic. Only this blind date has confirmed the time and place. Cui Zhi only wants her to see this good show by chance, and this matter will be considered a success.

He also planned to use violent debt collection by a few hooligans.

Normal debt collection will involve bloodshed and smashing things, but it will not involve chopping people's thighs. Dragging away the women and men to pay off the debt is also the final step.

Because Mr. Shen is very sympathetic to the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women.

Shen Tang was also certain that this matter was related to Cui Zhi.

Because she went out today without Kang Shi, the plague god was still at the front line, and the luck he owed from Huabei was not enough to turn her into a walking Conan, let alone bring her wealth. In summary, she speculated that it was mostly man-made rather than God's will.

When the guards showed their weapons, the villagers were already frightened and knelt on the ground, fearing that this group of people would start a massacre. Shen Tang took a sip of hot water comfortably, and the corners of his lips were harder to suppress than AK: "... Go, bring all the casino account books, and fine them the maximum amount!"

I don’t know how much money it is, but even a small mosquito is still meat.

Shen Tang was in a good mood, and his face looked even kinder.

She waved to the youngest son: "Come here."

The child had two crooked pigtails, and was covered in a piece of rag covered with pudding. He was barefoot, with his butt exposed, and was dirty. The hooligans broke into his house, beat people, and grabbed people. He was so scared that he burst into tears and is still in shock.

Shen Tang called him, but his eyes were dull and he didn't respond.

Until he was pushed and almost fell to the ground. "Why are you pushing the kid? Come here, I have some candied haws, do you want some?" Shen Tang conjured up two strings of candied haws wrapped in crystal sugar coating like a magic trick. He shook them at the child, tempting him, "It's sour and sweet, children love it."

Not to mention candied haws, I have never even tasted malt sugar twice.

The child's dull eyes gradually brightened up, his fear was no match for the frantic swallowing of his saliva. He stepped forward cautiously, and seeing that Shen Tang was not lying to him, he almost quickly snatched one of the bunches away without saying thank you, which also caused the accompanying officials to reprimand him.

"You naughty boy, do you know what etiquette is?"

"Why are you being so harsh on him? Children also need to be taught by someone to know the etiquette you are talking about. It is not his fault that he does not understand. It is the fault of the person who should have taught him but did not. Otherwise, where does the saying 'If a father does not teach, it is the fault; if a teacher does not teach strictly, it is the laziness of the teacher' come from?"

Shen Tang handed the other string to the child.

"Come on, tell me, is it delicious?"

The child's saliva was all over the hawthorn candy coating. Hearing Shen Tang's gentle question, he hesitated for only a moment and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Candied haws are indeed a great weapon for deceiving minors!
Shen Tang asked him to come two steps closer, and pointed at Cui Zhi and said with a smile: "This is a great philanthropist of the time. You can tell him any wish you have, and he will fulfill it for you when he hears it."

Cui Zhi: "..."

I want to refute but I dare not.

The child thought about it seriously and made a wish to Cui Zhi.

"Good man, can you kill all the bad guys?"

Shen Tang asked: "Which bad guys?"

The child was young, but his language logic was clear: "The one who killed my father and cheated my brother out of money... is a bad person!"

He didn't know what a casino was, but he had heard from his family that the people there were bad, and they would trick his brother and other villagers into going there and steal their money. The reason why his family couldn't afford to eat was because their money was stolen, and these people deserved to die!

Shen Tang looked at Cui Zhi and smiled without saying anything.

Cui Zhi: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, it should be so."

The child didn't understand what he meant.

Shen Tang translated: "It means he will kill."

Whose knife could she, Shen Youli, be?

She was very happy that Cui Zhi gave her money, but she was extremely unhappy because Cui Zhi wanted to use her to kill someone else.

In the words of Gong Xichou, people cannot be used as extras.

You should ask for compensation based on the amount of effort you put in.

Does Cui Zhi have the guts to try to default on her bill?
She was not satisfied with just the fine.

She wanted Cui to act as a vanguard for her, so that she could legitimately skin and bone the fat sheep, even suck out the marrow!

"Can Zhishan agree?"

She takes the benefits and he bears the blame.

Cui Zhi looked at her smiling face and took a deep breath.

The smile was forced: "As it should be."

The turtle in the wishing well will be kind enough to grant the wishes of every visitor who has traveled thousands of miles to pray to it. Patriarch Cui is even kinder than the turtle. He will spare no effort to help the poor with empty pockets to become rich. Shen Tang's mood has reached its peak in the past few days: "Great kindness!"

Cui Zhi: "..."

He finally understood what it meant that laughing was uglier than crying.

The only consolation is that the blind date turned out pretty well.

The woman is satisfied, and the man is also pleased, and has no objection to marrying into the family. Kangguo is efficient, and once the two agree, the good news can be announced, and the two families will privately decide on the time for the wedding banquet. As a matchmaker, Shen Tang will give them a big gift to add to their joy.

She decided to be more generous and give a bigger red envelope.

"As expected, we have to use magic to defeat magic. It's difficult for us to find an excuse to eradicate the cancer, so as not to provoke a desperate counterattack from the aristocratic family group. At most, we can use it to threaten and attack..." These handles were all before Kangguo took over. Even the biggest crime must be written off. Shen Tang cannot take the initiative. However, it is different for Cui, who also comes from an aristocratic family. It is just right for them to be Shen Tang's white gloves.

It can achieve her goal while minimizing the impact.

The situation in the southwest came to an end in the last bloody storm. Shen Tang received the news from Ning Yan that the last battlefield had ended. She felt that she had forgotten something. She recalled the memorials while reading them. When she saw Su Shiyilu's memorial, she slapped her forehead and said, "Come to think of it, I heard a long time ago that foreign races were everywhere. Is the southwest also being invaded by foreign races?"

There are ten Wubei Deserts in the northwest and also in the southwest.

She remembered that Chu Yao also said that the alien races from all directions were quite troublesome.

It was indeed not easy to defeat the Ten Crows of the Northern Desert back then.

Luo Sha didn't expect that there were still people who remembered the eight foreign races. It was hard to say about other places, but the one in the southwest had long disappeared.

Shen Tang was surprised: "No more?"

Luo Sha asked seriously, "The southwest is not like the northwest. North and west of the northwest are either wasteland or grasslands and glaciers. Although the environment is bad, it is barely habitable. The two tribes of the Ten Crows in the Northern Desert were defeated and retreated here to survive. What's the point of going south from the southwest?"

It's the vast ocean.

The foreign tribes in the southwest could live on land at first. They were very strong in combat. All men, women, old and young could serve as soldiers. They also practiced cannibalism. Every time they sent troops to harass other countries, they would leave behind countless human bones. They were fierce but could not reproduce. Their population was shrinking day by day. The southwestern countries saw that they were almost ready and took advantage of the situation to drive them into the sea.

Most of them died, and a few fled to isolated islands at sea.

Luo Sha's ancestors had seized the largest island from these people, and after they had gained a foothold, they cleared out the islands one by one. As soon as Luo Sha could walk, his grandfather carried him on his shoulders to clear out the aliens: "I will collect the head of the last of them."

The head was cut off by Luo Sha himself.

Shen Tang was thankful: "God is really taking care of me. The foreign races in the southwest... do they have any facial features?"

Luo Sha showed a look of disgust.

"They look a lot like us, but their eyes...are different. They have evil eyes and a slightly sharp face, but they don't have a single bit of human kindness! They are just a bunch of uncivilized monkeys, mean, ungrateful, treacherous and cunning, and are the best at betraying us. There are also kind people in the southwestern countries who once advocated taking in captives and educating and comforting them. Who would have thought that these people would slaughter and eat all the people in the city, and all the innocent men, women, old and weak in the city were humiliated and cooked..."

These were all things his grandfather told him.

He also said that there was no need to show mercy when seeing the descendants of these people.

It would be more useful to kill them all than to educate them.
