224 Gamblers
A few days after the opening of Zong's Gambling House, there were many gamblers.
With the platform of the crown prince and the princess, it is equivalent to having the endorsement of the imperial court, coupled with the guarantee of the financial resources of the clan family, everyone has placed bets.
From the analysis of the betting situation, there are still not many people who are optimistic about planting rice in Mi County.
This matter also spread to the imperial court, and some lower-level officials began to impeach Zong Shu for bewitching the public, and the main purpose was to defraud the people of their hard-earned money.
Li Ruoshui retorted on the spot: If Zong Shu is defrauding the people of their hard-earned money, then other gambling houses should be put in prison or exiled.
Even if the clan does not pay dividends at the end of the year, this is completely in line with the rules of the gambling house.
The impeached officials are also lacking in confidence.
They have some connections with large and small gambling houses in the capital.
Now, the life of the large and small gambling houses in the capital is not easy, and the gamblers put all the idle money in the Zong's gambling house.
Put it in Zong's gambling house, no matter if they win or lose, they have money to make.
With such an insurance thing, who would bet elsewhere?
Zong Shu established the "Zong's Gambling House", which has the potential to wipe out all the gambling houses in the capital.
The new rules of Zong's gambling house not only caused a sensation in Bianliang, but also quickly spread to Luoyang, Xijing and some cities in the south.
The citizens of these cities also entrusted people or came to Bianliang in person to place bets.
In the past, some merchants who wanted to talk about cooperation with Zongshu were also moved, if they bet on it, they could earn several times, and if they didn't bet, they would be shareholders of Zongjia.
The most surprising thing is that some officials, including the family members of Zong Shu, who impeached Zong Shu, also came and quietly made bets.
Don't look at them above the court, among their colleagues, they speak justifiably and appear to be upright, but they also have to support their families.
In just a few days, the wealth of Zong's gambling house swelled rapidly, which made Zong Yi and Lin Lingsu really unimaginable.
Zong Yi looked at the daily income, and while he was happy, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, this money came too easily, right? Could something happen?
Lin Lingsu was very happy, his Great Song Academy of Sciences and Mi County Base, the funding guarantee within a year was already enough.
Lin Lingsu finally understood the intention of Zong Shu's move, which seemed to be gambling, but in fact he was operating the entire Zong Group.
Zong's gambling house (Da Song Investment Management Company) is actually the cornucopia and capital pool of the entire Zong's group.
Zong Shu wants to focus on what industries to develop, what science and technology to research, and what projects to deploy, and the funds can be mobilized from Zong's gambling house at any time.
Li Shaoyan did not hesitate to bet on 1,000 taels of silver, and bet that rice planting in Mi County would be successful.
"Li Shaoyan, you are taking advantage of me. You'll be net four thousand taels again. Zong Shu smiled.
Li Shaoyan said: "Didn't you say that faith is more important than gold? My trust in you is more important than gold. ”
Zong Shu actually wants to reward Li Shaoyan, as long as he believes that Zong Shu can succeed, he is a relatively close person, let them make money, and he will be happy.
In the process of attacking Chaohua Village, going north to the Baigou River, and rescuing the Seed Master, Li Shaoyan made great contributions.
But Zong Shu only won them the honorary title of "Great Song Warrior". These warriors should be given material rewards.
Now, the Zongshu family has a big business, what are these thousands of taels of silver?
Zong Shu asked Li Shaoyan to contact Niu Gao and asked them to bet as well.
……
Zong Shu proposed to Huizong that he wanted to marry Zhuzhu.
Zong Shu is going to give up his good future, and would rather be an idle horse.
According to the gambling contract, Huizong should marry Zhuzhu to Zong Shu.
But Huizong proposed to let Zong Shu pick the Moon Palace for Zhuzhu and let Zhuzhu stand on the rainbow.
This is obviously embarrassing, everyone guesses, it may be because Huizong lost the gamble and didn't make a million taels, so he was not very happy, so he deliberately set up a problem for Zong Shu.
Of course, more officials believe that this is because the prince of Jin, Wanyan Rope Fruit, has taken a fancy to Zhuzhu.
It is a matter of external affairs, and Huizong is also in a dilemma.
After Zong Shu promised to do these two things, he didn't seem to be worried, and he didn't care much.
As usual, I went to the East Palace to give lectures and inspect the industries of the Academy of Sciences and the Zong family.
Every once in a while, he also took two small golden eagles to wander around the street.
I don't know if he is confident, or if he has already given up.
There are some do-gooders who have started to look into it, what if they encounter this problem themselves?
Take off the Moon Palace and give it to the beads? It is possible to use a mirror to reflect the moon in the palm of Zhuzhu's hand, which is considered to be taking off Zhuzhu.
As for whether the beads can hold it, it's her business.
But the key problem came again, Huizong said that the beads must be picked during the day.
Will it be to draw the Moon Palace in the palm of Zhu Zhu's hand or write the word Moon Palace?
As for the rainbow, everyone thinks it's easier than picking the Moon Palace.
Because it is not impossible for a rainbow to appear during the day.
Zong Shu defeated the national teacher Lin Lingsu in Taoism, so it shouldn't be difficult to predict wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
Since it is possible to predict wind, rain, thunder and lightning, it should also be possible to predict when a rainbow will appear on that day.
As long as there is a rainbow, use a mirror to reflect the rainbow, and let the beads stand on the mirror, even if the proposition of "standing on the rainbow" has been completed.
Even many tiles and teahouses have taken this as a hot topic, and some people are even soliciting creative solutions for "Picking the Moon Palace" and "Standing Rainbow".
The apprentices and good deeds of the major workshops in the capital gathered in the tiles to discuss.
The researchers and students of the Great Song Academy of Sciences also put aside the courses they were studying and studied the two major topics of "Picking the Moon Palace" and "Standing on the Rainbow".
After studying for a long time, I found that it was unreliable.
Naturally, Zong Shu picked the Moon Palace for Zhuzhu, whether he could make Zhuzhu stand on the rainbow, or whether Zong Shu's actions could satisfy Huizong, this became a big suspense.
Also, whether Zong Shu will admit defeat or not, this is also the result that everyone is eager to see.
So, on this issue, there will be five or six questions, and this is the gambling house that favors the game the most.
As a result, major gambling houses have set up various options for everyone to bet on.
The content of the bet has just appeared, and the "Zong's Gambling House" has also made a move.
Same bet content, different bet rules.
The rules of "Zong's Gambling House" are still that one or two silver starts to bet, and if you win, the gambler's principal will be converted into shares.
As soon as this gambling game of Zong's gambling house was launched, it was immediately warmly sought after by gamblers.
Many people who have already placed bets in other gambling houses have also come to the "Zong's Gambling House".
This made the owners of the big and small gambling houses in the capital angry half to death, Zong Shu obviously didn't give everyone a way to live!
Judging from the odds of the major gambling houses, they are still not optimistic that Zong Shu can satisfy Huizong.
The day finally came, and Huizong asked Gao Yu to inform Zong Shu in advance, and the next morning, just outside the Jiying Palace, let Zong Shu fulfill his promise to Zhuzhu.
Early the next morning, Zong Shu finished washing, and Liang Hongyu gave him a whole dress.
"Brother, go to the palace, you must marry Zhuzhu back, sister believes you!" Liang Hongyu also bet that Zong Shu would win.
Zong Shu walked in the middle, Cao Zongshen on the left, Lin Lingsu on the right, and Li Shaoyan in the back.
"Young Master Zong, you admit defeat in advance, everyone saves time." There were quite a few people shouting.
These guys are obviously betting that Zong Shu will not satisfy Huizong today.
Just past a street corner, a banner suddenly appeared in front of me, "Zong Shu, always lose!" Zong Shu, always lose! ”
Standing under the banner was Cai Xiu.
Cai Xiu came up and said with a smile: "Zong Shu, this time, I bought you and lost!" I went to your Zong's gambling house to place a bet, and I won't lose. ”
It turned out that Cai Xiu's gang was also involved, and for insurance, he actually bet in the "Zong's Gambling House".
Great, Cai Xiu's silver, that's also silver!
Zong Shu remembered a famous line in a spy war movie in later generations: These two gold bars, tell me which one is noble and which one is dirty?
"Cai Xiu, what a shame! Cai Xiu, shame! Li Shaoyan also shouted loudly.
