Cheng Yuanqing was so aggrieved that he couldn't speak, but the people next to him were so happy that someone laughed loudly and asked in the laughter: "Brother Zifan borrows people like this, do you want to make up enough money to bet?"

Li Chaochen held his cheek with one hand, his beautiful eyes turned lightly, thought about it, and said seriously: "At least 10,000 taels of silver." ”

10,000 taels??

A circle of people was instantly shocked by these 10,000 words, no one spoke, and Cheng Yuanqing, who was still aggrieved in silence, was the first to come back to his senses. He glanced at Li Chaochen first, and then turned to Ye Zhimin and said, "Zifan said that he wanted 10,000 taels, I don't know if the dealer can afford to pay it?"

Ye Zhimin urged narrowly: "Cheng Sangongzi is sure that the dealer will definitely lose?"

Cheng Yuanqing spread his hands with an innocent face: "It's not that I'm sure, it's Zifan who is sure that he will win." ”

Ye Zhimin was silent for a while, and looked around.

These two people, the Hanmen scholars represented by Li Chaochen, and the noble sons of the capital headed by Cheng Yuanqing, have nothing to do with each other, and the reason why they are gathered here today is because he attracted them on a whim. I didn't want to, but because of the small casino, a group of sons and brothers with outstanding temperament and appearance poured into them, which instantly caused a sensation and aroused a large circle of people to come and watch.

People can't get rid of it if they want to, so they can only bet on being watched like a play.

Now that the play has started here, seeing Li Chaochen's words and deeds, it is actually to cause another round of turmoil in the capital.

Thinking that today's good man has already attracted a lot of discussion, if there is no child for a long time, can this court be peaceful?

If the court is uneven, the world will be in chaos.

But in this world, there is no more chaos.

I want the first emperor to kill too much, and too extravagant, this world has already been full of holes when the first emperor was there. The reason why it has not fallen is that there are only assets left by the two emperors, and a group of loyal ministers and good generals are desperately supporting it.

If the new emperor is like the first emperor, he is extravagant and does nothing, then the world of the Great Zhou will be truly over.

The world is uneven, although Li Chaochen, who was born in a poor family, has experience, but because of his background and vision, etc., he can't see far-reaching; and Cheng Yuanqing, who grew up in the noble family, although they are not like the children of the gentlemen, they only know how to have fun, do not want to forge ahead, and have more opportunities to contact the court, but because they are also rich and noble, they do not know the people's livelihood and suffering, they are often governor and do not know the changes, and are only good at the struggle for selfish interests in the court.

Caring for the world and thinking about the common people is the basic requirement of Confucius for the birth of scholars, but few scholars who embark on a career can do it.

The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit.

It is human nature to seek wealth and profit.

But if the heavens and the earth are overturned, and the people are struggling to make a living, where can they ask for this benefit?

The root of everything has been lost, and this wealth will not be able to live in peace.

Even if you ask for the wealth of national disaster, you can't keep it.

understands this truth, in this world, other families can ignore it, but his Ye family will not ignore it.

The Ye family is not a family of li, music, poetry and books who live alone in the world.

Most people think that the hairpin poetry and calligraphy family that has been inherited for hundreds of generations must be lofty and arrogant, even pedantic and stubborn.

The Ye family was indeed like this before being awarded the title of marquis.

But as Ye Zhimin's father said, the family of poetry and books is stubborn and conservative, but once they break through pedanticy and open their horizons, what they know and think will be beyond the reach of ordinary people, and their means will inevitably be eclectic.

Cooperating with Baiyue Building, breaking through the law, and making a bank to gamble on a regular basis is exactly the eclectic business method of the Ye family. Otherwise, with the behavior of the family and the family who cherishes feathers, how can they do this worldly and depraved business, which is really insulting.

Buying land and cultivating heirlooms is the noble move of a century-old family.

But since accepting the title of Marquis of Jianning, his Ye family no longer has the name of nobility.

Therefore, his Ye family will gamble here, and the person who manages this gambling is not the third and fifth rooms of the house, but the long and fourth rooms of their concubines.

And because the ability of Jianning Hou of Changfang is limited and it is difficult to come forward, his two sisters-in-law also have their own busyness. Therefore, although the gambling of the Jianning Hou Mansion in Baiyue Building was mainly responsible for the long house, when they were really busy, they still did more in the four rooms.

Ye Zhimin is the second son of Sifang, because he is young, he has just been admitted to the Jinshi, and his family has set up a gambling game in Baiyue Building for many years, and he only learned from his elders not long ago.

When he first learned of this, he was very surprised, and it took a long time for him to be relieved of the matter from his father's explanation. After that, he began to follow his brother here to understand and manage the gambling business.

It was the first time that he had led the nobles and the two scholars of the Han family to come here and that he had separated from his family and his brother's care.

Ye Zhimin's heart is actually bottomless about this.

He knew what he wanted to do, but he didn't know if it was the right thing to do.

But today's events are no longer solvable.

Ye Zhimin thought of this and nodded: "Since Zifan is determined to win, then let's wait and see what happens." ”

Cheng Yuanqing smiled.

Although he is as old as Ye Zhimin and is also an outsider, he knew earlier than the ninth prince of the Ye family that the dealer in the east of Baiyue Building belonged to the Jianning Hou Mansion.

In the same circle, the nobles of the family all know that the Marquis of Jianning has acted in the past ten years, and they have already shed the name of Qing noble, not only that, but also the Han family, who lost the position of marquis in the early years.

In this regard, those families who advertise their noble hairpins are disdainful of jokes, but their Cheng family is not. Although he did not have much contact with the Marquis of Jianning, Cheng Yuanqing's father affirmed more than denied the actions of the Marquis of Jianning.

Therefore, Cheng Yuanqing's brothers knew about Baiyue Tower early on, and also learned about what the Marquis of Jianning Mansion did after people.

"I don't know how long this meditation will take?" Cheng Yuanqing asked with a smile, "Everyone else bets on the concubine to be pregnant, only to distinguish who is pregnant, and who is early and who is late, and the time limit will not be too long." But if it is really as Zifan said, no one will be pregnant, then this time is really difficult to say, that is, to bet and bet, this time needs to be said in advance. ”

Ye Zhimin thought about it, looked at the steward behind the case, and asked, "What is the time limit given by the dealer?"

The steward replied: "According to the law, in addition to betting on which concubine is pregnant, there is also a bet on the time of conception, which can be long or short. Because the shorter the time frame for placing a bet, the higher the odds. Therefore, bets are generally placed within one to two years, and the dealer does not have a time limit for this. ”

It is said that one to two years is a long time, and people who generally come here to bet and gamble value quick money, and a few people really come to play with interest.

More people want to bet today and know the outcome tomorrow.

Therefore, this time limit also takes care of the gambler's psychology, and the shorter the time limit, the higher the odds.

Only because there are many people who want to protect their capital, there are many people who will bet for a year or two, and there are many people who actually bet on good news within two months.

"Then what is the maximum time limit now?" Ye Zhimin asked again.

"Five years. The steward replied.

Ye Zhimin nodded, and turned his head to look at Li Chaochen: "Since this is the case, how about a limit of five years?"

Li Chaochen smiled indifferently: "Yes." ”

is so dismissive, looking at his expression, he is really sure that today's concubine will definitely not be pregnant.

Seeing this, others were talking about it, and Ye Zhimin frowned.

The crowd of onlookers, who were originally too quiet, kept noisy because of Li Chaochen's astonishing remarks. In this mess, the bookmaker's steward gave Li Chaochen a HSBC bill of exchange with a time limit of five years, and the odds were 20 to 1. That is to say, Li Chaochen has now bet one hundred taels of silver, and five years later, if none of the concubines are pregnant, then he can use this bill of exchange as a basis to exchange two thousand taels of silver at the HSBC bill number.

It's been a long time, but it's really earned.

Two thousand taels, enough for an average family of four to eat and wear for a lifetime, and there is still a surplus.

Because of the restrictions of the banker's words before betting, when others came to bet, they always thought about which concubine would be pregnant, and never thought about betting on being pregnant.

Now inspired by Li Chaochen, for a while, many people took out the silver to bet on pregnancy, which made a number of dealer stewards at a loss, so they could only drag on with kind words while sending people to ask for instructions urgently.

In the end, only two bookmakers did not bet on infertile, and the other bookmakers did bet, but the odds were extremely low. But even so, the number of people who bet on infertility is still increasing, and after ten days, it even exceeds the number of people who bet on pregnancy. And because the longer the time of betting on infertility, the higher the odds, there are many people who have learned from Li Chaochen and gambled to a maximum time limit of five years. Because more and more people bet, the odds have dropped again and again, and in the end, the bookmakers who can't bear it have stopped betting.

The east side of Jianning Hou Zuozhuang is the earliest one, and it is also the last one to persevere. At this time, it was only two months when Li Chaochen caused the incident. When the bet is stopped, the odds have dropped to one to one within three years, and the bettor has no money to make at all, and there is only one to five between three and five years. The maximum time limit of five years has been reduced from Li Chaochen's initial one to twenty to only one to two.

It's a tenfold drop.

The turmoil caused by Li Chaochen is not small.

And those who participate in this gambling trend are also from the first pure gamblers to the last ordinary public.

People are no longer concerned about how much they can win, but whether there will really be no future in the Holy World today.

The sage said: There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

The people are like this, as the king of a country, if there is no queen, it is not only unfilial, but also to shake the foundation of the country.

…………

"Does the third prince really think it's really good to stir up these remarks that shake the hearts of the people?"

In the courtyard of the Jin family on the outskirts of Beijing, Ling Xue asked Han Qihai with a worried expression.

Not only was Ling Xue worried, but Feng Yuanzhi, who had just returned to Beijing with his wife for two days, stood by the door and glared at the person being questioned.

In the past two days, because of this incident, Feng Yuanzhi didn't know how many times he had yelled at Han Qihai, and this roar under the rage couldn't even persuade Ling Xue and the eldest young master of the Jin family.

Although he has not been teaching martial arts for a long time, it is true that Qin Siyang is an apprentice recognized by Feng Yuanzhi, he is a rectum, and once he identifies something, he will not waver, so no matter what the other party's identity is, that concern comes from the heart and cannot be changed.

"It doesn't seem to be good now," Han Qihai smiled lightly, "But if it is not broken, the emperor will need to withstand this turmoil." ”

"How can you bear this?" Feng Yuan was straight and didn't fight in one place, "You made him a good man, and having this reputation was already useless, but now it's good, and Li Chaochen, who is neither male nor female, wants to go to that Laoshizi Baiyue Building to come out like this, what do you want the Han family to do to my apprentice? It was you who pushed him up to be the emperor, and now it is you who want to pull him down." Let your Han family have the final say on everything!"

Feng Yuanzhi roared loudly, and couldn't help but come over with another palm, Han Qihai sighed helplessly and stepped aside, Jin Yunan shook his head and smiled bitterly, Ling Xue had to turn around and pull the person away.

He just roared this morning, and now he is coming again, no wonder the wind is far away, because just now he ran into the capital again, and heard the constant rumors among the people, and none of them were good. Although he hasn't read any books, he still understands the truth that the wind rises at the end of Qingping, so it's really angry!
