Chapter 696: Gambling and Thieves

When the Drinking Horse River was in Mobei, it was a white market, that is, it was open during the day, and it became more and more prosperous after moving south, and it has become a full-day business at this time, and the business model of the Drinking Horse River is similar to that of the Goat Valley, and the Goat Valley is larger, more and more complete than the Goat Valley.

The main reason why the black widow took Wu Zhongyuan out to inspect was to show him the construction and business results of the year of moving south, in addition to the composition of the report, there was another reason, that is, to ask Wu Zhongyuan to inspect the work, it is very necessary to ask the leader to inspect the work, if the leader did not put forward any criticism after the inspection, then even if he acquiesced to their business model, even if there was any problem in the future, he would not be severely held accountable.

The first thing the three of them inspected was the Easy Change Market, because Wu Dalie and Black Widow belonged to the top management here, and they didn't often show up on weekdays, and there were not many people who knew them, so the three of them walked in the street market and didn't attract everyone to stop and watch.

Different from the strange commodities of the Goat Valley Night Market, the goods sold in the Yumahe Market are mainly necessities, and the quantity is relatively large, salt is barreled, cloth silk carts, cattle and sheep are flocked, there is already the prototype of the wholesale market in later generations, Wu Dalie did not have a corpse vegetarian meal here, under his suggestion, the Yichang Market of Yinmahe added officials and merchants.

The so-called official business is the official opening of the shop, everything is collected, everything is sold, there was only easy exchange before, and easy exchange is limited, the holder of the two items must need each other's items to be exchanged, after having coins, you can exchange various goods for coins, and then targeted purchases, and people who come to exchange are often in a hurry to go, so that the goods they hold are in a hurry to sell, and they can not be sold for a while can be sold to officials and businessmen, of course, the price will be lower, it is the establishment of officials and merchants and the common use of coins, so that Yumahe has accumulated a lot of wealth in a very short period of timeThe speed at which it accumulates wealth can even be described as insane.

As a leader, the subordinates must not be stingy with praise, the reason why the subordinates work hard, is also to hope to please the leader, after visiting the official business into a piece of shops and freight yards, Wu Zhongyuan immediately issued an order to commend, because the two had participated in the war on the coast of the East China Sea, and afterwards he had ordered all the people who participated in the war to wear a bronze top, cloak thorn python, the previous reward increased and promoted, this time the two of them rose to a higher level, and the two were rewarded with silver crowns and cloaks.

Although this reward is not in kind, it represents a great honor, but also a symbol of identity and status, the same as the purple warrior, the gold content of the solid color cloak and the hedgehod python cloak is completely different, this reward mechanism is Wu Zhongyuan's own creation, it turns out that this is a very clever approach, not only can inspire the fighting spirit, but also can remember the merits, there are more and more purple warriors under his hands, and he needs to deal with more and more things, for the previous exploits of his subordinates, he may gradually forget, but as long as he sees the cloak embroidered, he can remember what kind of credit these people have made before。

Smart subordinates will never hide their ugliness in the face of leadership inspections, the black widow is most worried about Wu Zhongyuan's reaction and attitude towards the gray industry, she has long known that Wu Zhongyuan hates to arrest and sell slaves, so after going south, the human market was canceled, but the Qinglou and gambling stalls are relatively large, and this kind of thing is not allowed in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

In fact, the black widow's worries are not superfluous, Wu Zhongyuan is indeed disgusted with this kind of thing, because this kind of gray income will be criticized, a holy lord Mingjun should not use this kind of dirty money as military expenses, but he can't have a moral cleanliness habit, strictly speaking, the sponsorship given to him by Wan Shanhong is not clean money in the real sense.

The more things you don't want to face, the more you have to face them bravely, and finally Wu Zhongyuan walked into the gambling stall accompanied by the two, to be exact, it should be a gambling house, which is different from the simple gambling stalls in Goat Valley, the gambling stalls here are all tall wooden buildings, and there are simple meals to serve.

The essence of gambling is unearned, most people who like gambling are lucky, Wu Zhongyuan did not know much about gambling before, but the black widow is proficient in this way, a word of the sky, the gambling stalls of the Drinking Horse River are not ghosts, whether it is to guess the dice or than the size of the gambling stalls do not cheat, but the gambling stalls will eat and, the so-called eating and eating is when there is a tie and a tie, the gambling stall wins, which is very tricky, because so many gambling stalls, there will be countless draws and draws every day.

In addition, the gambling stall will also charge an escort fee, and the winner is not necessarily a master, in case of winning too much money, the casino can send someone to escort the winner to the designated place of the other party, and the fee is one-tenth of the total amount of the other party's winnings.

Gambling stalls have their own observation positions, that is, rooms that can overlook the overall situation to prevent gamblers from cheating, Wu Zhongyuan looked down from the window to observe those more conspicuous gamblers,

The reason why gambling is liked by many people, in addition to the possibility of winning, is that gambling can be very nervous, and nervousness often brings excitement, and stimulation can lead to adrenaline rush, which is exciting, and all gamblers have nervous faces without exception, even those who pretend to be calm are actually very nervous.

Like the opening of the furnace, gambling also has a process of anticipation, this process belongs to the short-term hope, can experience joy and frustration in a very short period of time, everyone has curiosity and desire to explore the unknown, which is why some people are addicted to gambling.

While Wu Zhongyuan was observing, Black Widow and Wu Dalie had been waiting nervously, whether the gambling stall could continue to exist was only in Wu Zhongyuan's thoughts.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that the two wanted to know their attitude towards this matter, but he was not in a hurry to express his position, as a person with a higher education, he knew very well the harm of gambling, which would promote unearned gains, and the atmosphere of leisure and hard work was one of them.

The second is that gambling will go bankrupt sooner or later, there is a saying in the gambling stall that you are not afraid of winning, you are afraid that you will not come, as long as you come often, you will definitely lose, because the casino eats and pumps, the probability of losing is greater, and people have the idea of winning and wanting to win, and if you lose the idea of making money, you will definitely go bankrupt in the end.

The above two major harms are only harming themselves, in fact, gambling not only harms themselves, but also harms others, as he saw before, the repayment of debts with daughters is only one of the phenomena, the most serious will breed theft and robbery, the ancients said, gambling near theft, rape and killing, gambling to the end of the desperate can only steal to rob, the harm to the country and others is great.

Sitting in the high room for a quarter of an hour, Wu Zhongyuan stood up from his seat, walked outside the gambling building in the company of the two, and put forward three requirements when walking, one is to remove the nursery in the gambling stall, there are nurseries on each gambling table, the task of the nursery is not to go out of the old man, nor to make ghosts, but to mobilize the atmosphere, "lead by example" big betting, big gambling, seeing them win, others envy and follow the trend, in fact, gamblers don't know that these people are gambling stalls themselves.

Wu Zhongyuan's face was not good-looking when he made this request, Wu Dalie was at a loss when he heard this, he stayed in the Yinmahe for a long time, but he didn't know that there was a nursery on the gambling table, and the black widow was so frightened, worried, before this she did not explain to Wu Zhongyuan that there was a nursery they had in the gambling stall, but Wu Zhongyuan was still keenly aware of it.

The second requirement put forward by Wu Zhongyuan is to cancel the gambling stall's 10% rebate, the so-called rebate is that the gambling stall will return one-tenth of the gambler's lost money to the gambler, which is benevolent on the surface, but in fact it is very vicious, and the gambler will have the idea that even if he loses all in the end, there will still be a little bit left, which will reduce their worries.

The last requirement is to hang a plaque at the door of all gambling stalls, with a letter wishing to accept defeat in betting, reminding everyone that gambling does not necessarily win, and the probability of losing is greater.

Although the requirements were stricter, in the end he decided to stay in the gambling stall, no way, during the special period, the court that was in ruins needed to pay taxes, and the army that fought bloodily also needed rice and grain.

Then the two accompanied Wu Zhongyuan to the Qinglou.

There are many kinds of greedy and lustful, but the largest proportion is still scarce, to put it bluntly, it is not full, in fact, most of the people who enter the Qinglou are foreign merchants, at this time there is no modern transportation so convenient, the shepherds of Mobei drive a group of cattle and sheep to the Central Plains to go for a month or two, the physiological needs are not met, and it is reasonable to enter the Qinglou, which is the same as the modern big truck perennial transport drivers like to go to the roadside shop is a reason, nine out of ten will go, the remaining one is not gone, but the woman deceives herself and believes that her man is the exception。

Don't underestimate the physiological needs, this is the instinct of people, it is second only to the hard needs of eating and drinking, especially married people, but also can not live apart for a long time, otherwise there will be problems, in modern times there are many people who go abroad to work, will find someone to partner with, this is not an individual phenomenon, but a very common ugly behavior, the only exception is the crew, they are really trustworthy, and the reason why they are trustworthy is not how good their self-control is, but that there are no women on the ship, there is no opportunity to do bad things.

People who always eat sea cucumber and abalone on weekdays are not interested in potatoes and sweet potatoes, and they have been dragged in Xinyue Island for half a year, he has been resisting the huge temptation of Xinyue Fox every day, and even Xinyue Fox He can resist it, and the vulgar powder in the Qinglou will naturally not be put in his eyes.

Qinglou is an out-and-out collection of dirt and dirt, for this kind of place Wu Zhongyuan is very repulsive, as the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, everyone will be affected by the external environment and others, no one can be an exception, not most people, but anyone!

All people will be subtly affected by the external environment and others, in a good environment, with a group of high-profile people, people's character and cultivation will be unconsciously improved, if they are often in a filthy environment, surrounded by vulgar and ugly people, after a long time, will become the same as them.

It is not unreasonable for Meng Mu to move three times, the eagle will become a chicken if he stays in the flock all day long, and the chicken has the possibility of spreading its wings and flying with the eagle every day.

Wu Zhongyuan has no intention of staying in Qinglou for a long time, even if he looks at it coldly from a top-down perspective, not everything is worth seeing, and some dirty things are not only dirty eyes but also dirty hearts.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly changed his mind, and the voice from next door attracted him, not humming, but "bitter talk", listening to the conversation, it should be an old bustard who is doing the ideological work of a young woman who has not yet entered the industry.

He was very interested in this, or rather in the result, and he wanted to hear what the old bustard had to say to the woman, and to see if the woman could not be moved in the end......
