Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Lai Gou'er's face was already numb from listening.

Every time he saw Big Brother, he could come up with some incredibly outrageous schemes.

"By the way, I remember in the reports you sent back, you mentioned a merchant named Hope? This person seems to know the inner workings of the Holy City very well, right? It's best to find him and get the internal defense layout of the temple, so we can act accordingly in the future," Fang Zheng said.

Mentioning Hope, Lai Gou'er was a little embarrassed: "Big Brother, Hope is indeed a very righteous person, but he relies on the church for a living. Although he dislikes the church, he definitely doesn't want to see major chaos in the church. Moreover, this person has a very sharp eye. As soon as we open our mouths, he should be able to guess our purpose, so we definitely can't say anything."

"Does he usually correspond with you?"

"Yes, but it's mostly about business. He writes very cautiously and won't include any content that's detrimental to himself," Lai Gou'er said.

Fang Zheng tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Then try to entice him to write some content that's detrimental to himself. If he's really unyielding, then use newspapers and leaflets to smear him. He won't be able to refuse to cooperate."

"After it's done, can we still give him benefits? Isn't he helping us sell things? Give him a larger share of the goods in the future. As long as he follows Da Jing, his future will be limitless."

Lai Gou'er hesitated: "Wouldn't that be a bit..."

"This is war! What can a pure good person accomplish? You should understand after being out there for so long that some non-essential means are always needed," Fang Zheng said solemnly.

"No, he also has a son. What I mean is, he had a son late in life and loves him very much. Wouldn't it be easier to secretly kidnap his son?"

"........"

This brat's evolution speed is really fast...

Fang Zheng said earnestly: "Gou'er, we should still have some bottom lines in our actions. If you do this, no one will dare to cooperate with us in the future. What will outsiders think of our Da Jing? How can you be like those old rogues in the court?"

"After being with me for so long, you haven't learned anything good!"

Lai Gou'er smiled awkwardly, then asked: "Big Brother, do you think the court will agree if we really invade the Holy City and distribute the gold and silver to the poor?"

"I think the Holy City's foundation is extraordinary, far beyond ordinary people's imagination! Big Brother, you took me to Jingxing Qianzhuang before. There are also many large families in the West doing similar businesses. They call them banks."

"However, many of them serve the Pope. I heard that the Pope has so much money that he can't even count it himself. The sources are so wide that he can't even sort them out. They are all sorted out through the banks of large families. So many countries serve the church. I guess the Holy City's treasury has at least hundreds of millions of taels worth of silver!"

"So much white silver distributed to the poor... the court definitely won't agree, right? What if we do it, what will happen if we are punished?"

Fang Zheng sneered: "No, Gou'er, remember, it's very difficult for people to earn money beyond their understanding and maintain wealth for a long time."

"Even if they are lucky enough to earn it, they will eventually return it in some form. Giving money to the poor is just temporarily storing it in their hands."

"Brother has been traveling the world for so many years, and there are countless ways to make money, but there are some money I don't want to earn."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took the paper and pen on the table and wrote while saying.

"I have a prescription here. After you return to Fika, you can start selling medicine according to this prescription, with Father Solger's name on it. With newspaper publicity, this prescription will definitely earn us countless wealth and the support of the people."

Without spending much effort, Fang Zheng had already finished writing the prescription.

Lai Gou'er took it and read softly: "Trace amount of sleeping pills, trace amount of laxatives, hawthorn, poria, water, starch to make an oral liquid."

"What is this, Big Brother? Sleeping pills and laxatives, wouldn't people poop in bed after drinking this! And the four hawthorns in the back... they all seem to be dispensable?"

Fang Zheng tutted: "In the future, when we promote it, we will call it Shenxintong, the new second-generation holy water! It can improve sleep, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, rejuvenate, and so on."

"Don't worry, this thing is guaranteed to be effective and will be a big hit!"

"In the future, if we really enter the Holy City as expected, we will launch a gold-plated Pope-blessed version of Shenxintong, increase the amount of sleeping pills and double the price, and then let the priests set an example and promote some heavy-oiled and spicy foods that easily cause constipation..."

"By the way, didn't I ask you to open a coffee shop? Did you open it overseas?"

"I opened it... but the business is not very good, I didn't pay much attention to it."

"You have to pay attention. I'll get you a business plan. In the future, create a light luxury positioning and make coffee. In the future, promote coffee and late-night snack packages in the Holy City... If you have constipation and insomnia, won't our products sell like crazy?"

"Selling food earns a share, selling coffee earns a share, and selling medicine earns a share. Isn't this a virtuous cycle? I think the silver that is distributed will all come back in a few years."

Fang Zheng stroked his chin, with an evil look on his face.

Although these are all expedient measures, wouldn't this set of procedures make the foreign people and commoners clearly understand?

It's just a pity that there is no melatonin, and healthy substances such as fructooligosaccharides and inulin can only be replaced with sleeping pills and laxatives.

Well, the effect may be even better!

Looking at Fang Zheng's fantasies, Lai Gou'er was already dumbfounded.

Big Brother seems to be growing horns on his head!

Under the guise of doing good for others, all the bad things are done in private... This is not something that humans can plan!

I wonder if the church's holy water can be splashed on Big Brother to make him smoke and scream...

Seeing Lai Gou'er's somewhat suspicious expression, Fang Zheng came back to his senses and coughed lightly.

"These are all expedient measures, and besides, nothing is certain yet... Big Brother usually speaks of the right path and is unwilling to do things that are harmful to nature. But think about it, if we really do this, it may not be harmful to the people. Do you understand what the right path is?"

"What Big Brother says is the right path, that's the right path!" Lai Gou'er said sternly.

"Damn it, Gou'er, you're really a genius! You're a natural official. If there weren't so many things to do overseas, I would have pulled you to my side to work." Fang Zheng glanced at him appreciatively.

"This right path is to not let mediocre people earn silver that they shouldn't earn! If they earn it, it's unfair to the whole world! We have to be responsible for taking it back. Although the process is a bit tortuous, it's essentially supporting the great path!"

"Yes! Understood!" Lai Gou'er said loudly.

Fang Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, I won't say much more. During this time back home, you should rest well and prepare well. During this time, you can live in Taoyuan County. There are more things to play in the county than in Beijing. Have you played football and basketball? There are also theaters and everything else. Wait until the court wants to summon you, then take the train back."
