Chapter 510: Sudden Increase in Exhibition Matches
"Exhibition matches?" Su Miao was stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Seven days later, in the south of the city, Rui Wangye's Liyuan, the King of Chefs competition wants to raise disaster relief funds for Lunan, and an exhibition match is needed, and the emperor will come at that time, and the dignitaries and nobles in the Liang capital and the businessmen with heads and faces will be present, and it has been decided that you will come to participate in Miss Su." Master Jingming smiled and explained unhurriedly, without any intention of discussing with her, as if he had already decided.
"I didn't know about this, and the King Chef competition didn't say that there would be an exhibition match." Su Miaopi said with a smile, the exhibition match or anything is actually nothing, but what Master Jingming said was a little weird, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"It was a temporary decision, because I didn't expect Lunan to suffer. You should have heard about Lunan, you should have heard about the shortage of disaster relief funds, you should have heard from Hui Sangongzi, Lunan needs a lot of silver, and the people who escaped by luck have already arrived at the gate of the city, and they also need silver to settle them, the silver in the treasury is not enough, and Liangdu is full of iron roosters who are not pulling out a dime, and at this time they need a justifiable exhibition game. ”
"What does an exhibition match have to do with not having enough money in the treasury?" Su Miao couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't understand what Master Jingming meant.
She asked bluntly, Master Jingming seemed to be a little difficult to speak, cleared his throat, and took another sip of tea, although he did this series of movements very smoothly, Su Miao saw a little embarrassment in it, paused, Master Jingming approached, and whispered to her:
"You must not spread this word, once it is spread, it will be a capital crime!"
"Huh?" Su Miao was dumbfounded, stayed away from him, looked at him with a wary eye, and shook her head, "Then I still won't listen." ”
"If you don't listen, you can't do it!" Master Jingming said, staring at her, as if he wanted to tie her up with his eyes for fear that she would run away halfway, and said to her in a solemn tone, "The emperor wants to open a gambling game, those iron roosters are not pulling out a hair, and the emperor can't rob them openly, so he can only use this method to make them spit out the silver." ”
Su Miao frowned, she still didn't understand too much about the lack of silver in the treasury and the relationship between the exhibition match, but she already understood the lack of silver in the disaster area and no one was willing to donate, tilted her head and thought about it, and said:
"Since they don't want to donate, then borrow it, give it a good reputation with some interest, and pay it back later."
"I have borrowed the last locust plague, and I haven't paid it back yet." Master Jingming said with some embarrassment.
"Huh? How many years have it been, is the treasury of Yue Liang really so poor? Su Miao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How can it be so easy, do you know how much profit was promised to calm down the turmoil caused by the locust plague, Yueliang country has not been peaceful, and the emperor refuses to increase taxes for those things, what do you think the people of Yueliang are living a stable life now, the emperor's taxes before ascending the throne are twenty times that of now, you children can only eat and dress well and study because of the reduction of taxes, the source of the treasury is taxes, and how can it be so easy to reduce taxes and fill the treasury!" Master Jingming was very angry when he heard what she said lightly, and said with a blow of his beard and glaring.
Su Miao also knew that compared with other periods, the tax burden of the people during the reign of the emperor was indeed much lighter, which also caused the current royal family to be very poor, and even some businessmen in the people were more luxurious than them.
"Yes, yes, I know, and then, what does silver have to do with the King of Chefs?" Su Miao asked.
Master Jingming was silent unnaturally, and suddenly lifted the teapot and refilled Su Miao with a cup of tea, and said seriously:
"Girl, you have to remember, everything is for the victims of Lunan, you are doing a good deed, this exhibition match is not counted in the general competition, and it will not affect your performance in the King Chef Competition at all, to put it bluntly, this is just an exhibition match with the limelight of the King Chef Competition, and it has nothing to do with the King Chef Competition, the main purpose is to raise funds for disaster relief."
Su Miao frowned, with a sense of foreboding in her heart, and looked at him with suspicious eyes.
"This is your opponent in this exhibition match." Master Jingming said, clapping his hands.
Behind the screen in the private room of the tea pavilion, a young girl in a pink coat walked out with a smile, followed by a young man with handsome eyes and eyebrows.
"Miss Xia?" Su Miao was slightly stunned.
"Sister Su." Xia Jinxuan saluted and smiled lightly.
"This is Miss Xia. Although you haven't competed yet, you are both rare women in the King of Chef competition, and you must have paid attention to each other. Miss Xia sit down. Master Jingming said.
Xia Jinxuan thanked her and sat on the other side of Master Jingming, facing Su Miao.
Xia Lang stood behind Xia Jinxuan in a proper manner, although the housekeeper's posture was meticulous, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked more like an elegant and noble son, even if he stood behind Xia Jinxuan in a regular manner, it still made people can't believe that he was actually a housekeeper.
Xia Jinxuan seemed to know very well about Master Jingming's plan, but Su Miao herself didn't know anything about it, she frowned, and said with a smile:
"I still don't quite understand what the mage means."
"Seven days later, the Liyuan exhibition match is just the finale, there is an auction before, there are a lot of precious objects will be auctioned, the highest price will get, and the silver two sessions raised in the end are all used for disaster relief, the auction is too monotonous, as the finale is also to attract more people, so there is this exhibition match. The people of Yueliang are keen to watch the game, and the King of Chef competition is their favorite, and now it is in the game, at this time, no one will suspect that there will be an exhibition match for disaster relief, especially if the emperor takes the lead, even if there is no interest, no one will dare to blatantly spoil the emperor's interest. In order to make this finale more interesting, this time I chose three of you girls to participate, and the two of them are Miss Ruan from Gan Bao Lou. Of course, this game is mainly for Miss Su and Miss Xia, Miss Su is in the limelight in the King of Chef Competition, and the strength is obvious to all, such a game starts, and Miss Su will win most of the games, as long as Miss Su is willing to lose, this one will win is us, no, it is Lu Nan who is correct to win. Master Jingming's expression was serious and authentic, and he specially emphasized the word "Lunan" very clearly.
This time, Su Miao completely understood that the so-called exhibition match was not simply an exhibition match, it was actually a gamble, but it was not just a gamble, it was a gamble on Lunan's disaster relief.
Liang Du Sai official and unofficial also have gambling games, in these gambling games Su Miao is indeed in the limelight, as long as you don't want to lose or want to take a risk once, you will basically bet on her to win, until now the major casinos have gambled very boring, and they don't even want to start, because she has been winning and winning without suspense, so no one bets on the opponent that the dealer will not make money, and no one wants to continue such a gamble, but as long as Su Miao loses......
Su Miaohuo stood up from the table and was very annoyed:
"You want me to play match-fixing?!" (To be continued.) )
