Published at 27th of October 2023 05:47:31 AM

The dandies living in Chang'an usually have a hobby of gambling. Li Yuanchang is a leader in polo, cricket fighting, and dog fighting in Chang'an. Now that he discovers this novel way of gambling, he is like a bear smelling honey. , I feel itchy and uncomfortable, I have to try it.

Although he doesn't know much about Yizhou, Li Yuanchang still knows some things. For example, when he was in Chang'an, he asked the housekeeper to deposit the copper coins in the Shengtang Bank. Money tickets are easier to use than copper coins. Secondly, it is too troublesome to bring a lot of copper coins to Yizhou, and there are many carts in large and small carts.

The steward opened his mouth to try to dissuade him, but in the end he didn't say anything. This Hanwang's temper is not very good. If he is annoyed, he must be whipped.

Full of wine and food, Li Yuanchang went downstairs with his chubby belly. Surrounded by guards, he turned a few corners and entered a private workshop. This chess and card room is in this market. Few people come in and out.

"My lord, please come in! Please come in!" A waiter stood at the door of the chess and card room. Seeing Li Yuanchang dressed luxuriously and accompanied by a guard, he thought he had met a rich family, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Since the opening of the chess and card room, the business has been booming day by day. Now, the businessmen who come and go to Yizhou don't know that Yizhou has opened a novel official chess and card room. Every time they make some extra money, some businessmen will come here to squander it. .

And this chess and card room uses gambling methods that have never been seen before, which also makes those who are addicted to gambling quickly attracted by this gambling method, because it is not only a question of money, but also a matter of money. Get total entertainment and relaxation.

Posing his head and looking inside, Li Yuanchang saw that the inside was full of people, shouting and shouting came from inside from time to time, and the surroundings of each table were full of water.

Seeing Li Yuanchang's appearance, the waiter in the shop suddenly understood what he said: "My lord, you are the first time back, so let me give you a suggestion, first go inside and watch a few, and then bet after learning, otherwise it is easy to lose money of."

Li Yuanchang is a very face-saving person. When he was in Chang'an, he didn't know how to play, but here he was treated as a bumpkin. He said: "My king... I'm just waiting for the housekeeper to send me money."

No matter what the waiter in the shop said, he has been working here for more than a month. He has never seen any kind of people. Just laughed secretly.

After a while, the butler hurried over, found Li Yuanchang who was waiting at the door of the chess and card room, and gave him the three thousand money note.

Consciously losing face, Li Yuanchang waved the money ticket in front of the clerk on purpose, and then walked into the chess and card room arrogantly, which made the clerk feel rather bewildered.

Strutting into the chess and card room, Li Yuanchang's arrival only made those gamblers who were betting around the gaming table look back at him.

snorted, Li Yuanchang didn't intend to argue with these people, and besides, this is Yizhou, not Chang'an, and no one knew him.

After wandering in front of several gambling tables for a while, Li Yuanchang was attracted by a poker game called "Zhoujinhua". He completely forgot that he was a prince, and got involved with these gamblers.

"This fraudulent gold flower is actually better than anyone else's card. Everyone has to bet a little money before opening the card..." Li Yuanchang is next to a foreign businessman. After the chess and card room opened, he came here almost every day to play several fraudulent gold Hua, it's not very big. When the luck is the worst, he loses a lot of money a day, and when he is lucky, he can win a few more money. Seeing Li Yuanchang standing beside him and staring at him, watching the cards and throwing the cards, he began to explain in detail. Explain to him how to play fraudulent golden flowers. There are more and more newcomers like Li Yuanchang this month, and veterans like him are willing to teach him. After all, the more people come, the more lively this place will be.

Li Yuanchang listened to the explanation and nodded again and again. After he basically figured out how to cheat the golden flower, he asked the butler to buy chips, and began to try to play, but he was a novice after all, and he didn't understand the meaning of the fraudulent golden flower. All the words of cheating show that this kind of game is to see who can cheat and who has a high psychological quality, but Li Yuanchang only bets according to the size of the cards. After a few rounds, the gamblers at this table have figured out his routine. Whenever he bets too much, others will not bet. In the end, he didn't win any money, but put his basic money into it.

Seeing that Li Yuanchang became more and more fascinated by playing, the businessman on the side persuaded: "Young gentleman, let's stop, you have lost four or five of your basic money now. The slogan of this chess and card room is that small bets are fun, big bets are harmful. Just play it, but don't take it seriously.

Li Yuanchang was used to being domineering in Chang'an, and he would have fun with everything he wanted to play. He listened to persuasion and ignored the merchants at all.

The businessman felt bored, shook his head and left, but Li Yuanchang's spirit became more and more excited, and he couldn't move his place at all. He didn't leave until the curfew began at dusk and the chess and card room closed.

The next day, after a hasty breakfast, he rushed to the chess and card room to continue playing cards, completely forgetting the purpose of coming to Yizhou this time.

In his deep sleep, Li Yin didn't know what was going on with Li Yuanchang now, and he didn't bother to care about it. His principle of treating people was always that if others treated him well, he would repay them very much. He really didn't bother to care about it, he was too tired.

After a night's rest, Li Yin suddenly felt refreshed and recovered. At this moment, he thought it was time to deal with some serious business, so he asked Rongda to call the Wang family who came to Yizhou to the Yizheng Hall. The time to prepare the raw material base is resolved.

This time, in order to cooperate with the Shu Palace, the Wang family also made a lot of determination. The person who sent to Yizhou to discuss matters with Li Yin also had a high status in the Wang family, but it was Wang Bing'an, the son of Wang Pu, the head of the Wang family.

Looking at Wang Bingan standing below, Li Yin waved his hand lightly and said: "Sit down!" At this moment, he began to put up the airs of the king of Shu, and overwhelmed Wang Bingan with majestic momentum.

Wang Bingan sat down as he said. After staying in Yizhou for a few days, he deeply realized the difference in Yizhou, and let go of the contempt in his heart. In the name of the patriarch, I came to Yizhou to discuss this matter with His Highness the King of Shu, how does His Highness plan to cooperate with the Wang family?"

Wang Bingan was humble, courteous, and thoughtful, which increased Li Min's affection for him. He said: "It's very simple, I sold you the seeds, and you can buy them back and plant them. But if some of the crops are produced, it will take The priority is to sell to the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, and for some designated crops, they must be sold to the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. Once your Wang family is found to have violated the agreement, the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce will stop supplying seeds and seedlings, and our cooperation will end. "

Nodding his head, Wang Bingan continued: "Which items does Your Highness plan to give to our Wang family to grow?" This is what Wang Bingan really cares about, because no matter who they sell to, their purpose is to make money.

"This spring, there will only be potatoes and sweet potatoes. In summer, we will give you high-yielding rice. If you can follow the agreement, you would have considered increasing it." Li Yin said in a deep voice. Give it to them. After all, these two can produce food oil and white sugar. He also intends to monopolize these two daily commodities. As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, some people have tried to grow them in other places, so there is no need to be a treasure. in hand.

These three things are currently the most well-known crops in Yizhou. Wang Bing'an was very happy, thinking that the king of Shu had shown full sincerity, so their royal family could not be stingy, so he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is so generous, our Wang family You can't be ignorant of what's good or bad, please rest assured, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, in the future our royal family will never take part in making things difficult for the King's House of Shu in Hedong Road.”

Li Yin showed a slight smile. This Wang family is really deep in political language. They don't make things difficult for people in the Shu Palace, but they didn't say they supported Li Yin. It was obvious that this was just a business and had nothing to do with the government. Thieves, how could he easily keep them out of the water. rs
