"Racetrack?

"Simply put, it's horse racing, but people are allowed to buy horses and gamble for money. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The lord frowned, "Gambling money? Gambling will make people lazy, and they always want to get something for nothing, which is not beneficial to the people's customs, no!"

Feng Shanyue saw that as soon as he heard the word "gambling", he denied his suggestion, and hurriedly said: "Father, of course gambling is not good. But there are pros and cons to everything, you listen to me first, and then you will understand that the pros and cons definitely outweigh the disadvantages. ”

"Then tell me about it!" said the lord of the kingdom lightly, obviously holding out little hope.

"That's right. We can set aside a pasture, trim out the racetrack, and then announce that the world is going to hold a grand horse race in the Fire Phoenix Country, and welcome the world's famous horses to participate. Depending on the registration, we can set different reward levels, but you must be generous and impressed. ”

"At the same time, we will also be issuing an announcement that there is a generous bounty for this horse race, and those who come to see the race can guess in advance who will be the winner, and those who guess will also receive a bounty. Naturally, the bounty should be so generous that people will want to participate in it as soon as they hear it. ”

The lord of the country frowned, "I've heard you say for a long time, why are you all giving money to others? Didn't my father tell you just now? Now that the treasury is empty, where can you get so much money?"

"You don't need to pay from the treasury!" Feng Shanyue said with a smile, "Not only do you not have to pay from the treasury, but I dare to assure you that after this game, the treasury will be able to make a big profit." ”

"What do you say?" The lord of the country was immediately interested, and it was a great thing to be able to replenish the treasury.

"Because all of these bounties are given by people who come to guess the outcome of the race. For example, anyone who wants to watch a game in person must pay an entrance fee. We then make a special wooden tag for each horse with the horse's name and number on it. People who want to guess horses can only bet on horses by buying these wooden cards. ”

"That's interesting," the monarch nodded, "and you mean that these people buy the wooden badge of whichever horse they fancy before the race begins." When the results of the horse race come out, if he wins, he will get the bounty?"

"Yes, before the race, we have the rider ride the horse around the field for two laps, so that everyone can see the condition of each horse, as well as the skill of the rider. After everyone saw it, they knew which horse to buy. ”

"How can so many people buy the same horse?"

"The brand is sold before the race, and as soon as the brand is sold, we can calculate how much money each horse receives, and how many people buy it, and then we add some to the money, and then divide the money equally among these people, which is their bounty. The price of each brand is fixed, and if a person is really confident in a certain horse, he can also buy more wooden cards, anyway, the money will be calculated according to the number of wooden cards. ”

The monarch shook his head, "Then if too many people buy the same horse, everyone will get less bounty, right?"

"Father Wang Yingming," in fact, this is the easiest to explain with odds, but Feng Shanyue doesn't want to instill too many advanced ideas to the lord of the country, she explained simply, "Not everyone understands horses, some people like to follow the trend, and when they see which horse they buy, he will follow and buy it." In fact, sometimes you get more bounty for buying a horse that is not very popular but is actually very powerful. ”

"Esther, how did you come up with this at such a young age?" the monarch frowned, this idea was not like a child could have come up with.

"My daughter is just an idea that I came up with from the game I played with my friends when I was a child, okay, I still ask my father to call the shots!"

"What's so much fun?"

The children often go to catch the crickets, and then put the two together to see who is the better. The people next to him took out their own food or gadgets, and put them on whomever was good to see who was good. When the winner is decided, everything that is placed on the losing side will go to the winner, and then the winner will divide it. ”

"Hmph! You learned to gamble at a young age, and you are really disobedient! Why doesn't your mother care about you?" the king immediately taught people a lesson with a straight face.

Feng Shanyue smiled skinnyly, "Who told your old man not to take care of me? My mother is alone, busy with everything else, how can she have time to take care of me? Besides, people are born with a gambling nature, as long as they don't endanger their families and cause harm to others, it doesn't hurt to gamble a little!"

Feng Shanyue's argument is not agreed, although the idea she just came up with is good, but if this trend of betting on horses spreads to the people, and the common people gamble all day long and don't work, the Fire Phoenix Country will really be unlucky.

"Isn't it good for the imperial court to come forward in this horse gambling matter? If the common people think that the imperial court encourages gambling, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"

"Father, it is with this in mind that the daughter suggested that the court should come forward to preside over this matter. You can decree that in addition to the dignitaries and nobles and local clans, only merchants can participate in horse betting. The rest of the civilians and slaves were not allowed to participate in this matter, otherwise they would be severely punished. If anyone in the people built a gambling horse farm in imitation of the imperial court, once it was discovered, all the horses would be confiscated from the officials, and the person in charge would be severely punished. "In ancient society, the monarch was the largest, and he killed his head at every turn, and presumably ordinary people would not dare to take this risk.

"Merchants, merchants are not of high status among the common people, why should they be specifically allowed to participate in horse betting?"

"Hehe, they have money, aren't we short of money!" Feng Shanyue looked like a fan of money, "It's because their status is not high enough that they are interested in this kind of concession." Besides, while gambling on horses, you can still get in touch with dignitaries and nobles, maybe they can still get some benefits!"

The lord of the country shook his head with a smile, "I really don't know how your mother taught such an eccentric daughter as you, and she actually came up with an idea that even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't think of!

"Mother teaches well, and father has to be born well!" Feng Shanyue touched her chin and said proudly: "I must have inherited my father's wisdom to be so smart!"

"Praise you twice, you're about to fly, aren't you?" The lord of the country glared at her with a smile, and turned back to Mr. Xiao: "You go and bring my bronze lamb!"

Manager Xiao agreed, and the lord of the country said: "This is a new set of toys made by the craftsmen of the Bronze Pavilion recently, all of them are sheep, cows, etc., small and exquisite, and quite interesting, give it to you to play!"

Manager Xiao presented the bronze lamb to Feng Shanyue, she liked this gadget at a glance, although it was only a little bigger than a palm, but the craftsmanship was very exquisite, and even the wool roll on the lamb could be seen.

"Thank you for your father's reward, my daughter likes this little sheep so much!"

Seeing that she really liked it, the lord of the country was also very happy, "In this case, wait for me to discuss your idea with the civil and military officials tomorrow, if it is really feasible, I will give you this whole set!"
