"What are these big tables, it's weird...!" Li Dafu looked at the drawings handed over by Li Zhan, and Li Dafu didn't see any of the items drawn on the drawings.

In fact, the things on Li Zhan's drawings are very simple, if you are a modern person, you will understand at a glance that they are all tables in casinos, in addition to tables, there are mahjong, pai gow, dice, poker, a lot of round chips...!

Li Dafu hadn't seen it, and of course he didn't know.

Li Zhan smiled at this time: "Dad... You don't care what these are, you just need to help me do it, but these are urgent things, you have to sell hard, and I will give you more money. ”

"Well... My son's things, of course I have to sell them hard, you can rest assured that these things are good, our carpentry workshop, now we don't do anything, just help you make such a batch of goods. ”

Li Dafu's words made Li Zhan laugh, this is what he wants.

These things are the objects that Li Zhan is preparing to open a casino, and Li Zhan is ready to inherit all the things in modern casinos, dice, mahjong, pai gow, baccarat... Wait a minute....

In fact, the Tang Dynasty was the most popular time for gambling, because at this time, everyone had some money in their hands, so gambling would be popular, which is why the Cui family's gambling house would make money.

However, although gambling was popular in the Tang Dynasty, the way of gambling was very simple.

When Zhenguan, everyone played basically leaf play and a game similar to guessing the size, Li Zhan didn't like to play this kind of game, otherwise Li Zhan wouldn't have invented mahjong.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty generation, including most emperors, liked to gamble, among which Wu Zetian and Xuanzong were the most popular. Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei often gambled for fun, and left a famous story of "liar chaos" in history.

Tang Xizong likes to "appreciate" batting gambling, and even bet on his official position, and his subordinate Chen Jingxuan won because of the "batting" gamble, that is, he was named the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and became a feudal official with a gamble, and ruled the land of 26 states such as Zhang, Yi, and Han.

Wu Zetian also hosted a gambling game, so that all civil and military officials joined in. Under the influence of the imperial court, officials and people in the Tang Dynasty were also very good at gambling, which almost became a fashion.

Therefore, Li Zhan believes that when his casino is launched, there will be no more casinos of the Cui family, and they will make a lot of money.

...............................

Do you think that Li Zhan has nothing to do in this way, of course not, followed by Li Zhan and came to the East Palace again, he found Li Chengqian, what to do with Li Chengqian, without him, he is looking for Li Chengqian to borrow someone.

Because after Li Zhan bought the two places, he had to find someone to decorate and build them, Li Chengqian was familiar with the general supervisor and the Ministry of Works, and he could help Li Zhan get a group of craftsmen over!

The two places in Li Zhan Lane hope to be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival and meet everyone, and now there are still seven days to go, and the time is a little rushed, so Li Zhan must find Li Chengqian.

"No problem... You can have as many people as you want, big brother, you can rest assured, my relationship with the Ministry of Industry, in a word, absolutely transfer the best craftsmen to the eldest brother. ”

Seeing Li Chengqian standing there with a limp, Li Zhan also smiled and said, "Okay... Then please, I'll ask for someone this afternoon, and you tell them, I'll double the money. ”

"Then it's foolproof... By the way, big brother... What are you going to open two stores, that... Do you have my share? Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan expectantly.

Li Zhan said 'um' and said with a smile: "How can there be no share of yours, of course there is, not only your share, Your Majesty also has Niangniang, they have their share, and you need to talk to Your Majesty and Niangniang later."

As for what kind of store it will open, you will know the amount when it opens. ”

It's just that Li Zhan's words made Li Chengqian still unsatisfied: "Don't brother, just tell me now, if you leave, I won't be able to sleep today." ”

Li Chengqian's dead-skinned face made Li Zhan speechless: "Okay... Good... I'll tell you, I'm going to open a restaurant with a theater, and I'm going to open a casino. ”

"Restaurants and casinos...?" Li Chengqian said with some surprise: "Big brother... What do you do in these two industries? ”

Li Zhan looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Don't you know that the Cui family is the most profitable place in Chang'an, and I want to open two of the same places and directly cripple the Cui family." ”

"Uh...!" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and said, "But big brother... The Cui family's long night has been operating in Chang'an for a long time, can we win? ”

"You still don't believe me?" Li Zhan smiled: "You just wait, it will definitely surprise you." ”

"Hehe... Big brother, I believe you, I know the casino, it should be the same as the gambling house, but what is that theater restaurant of yours? ”

"Hmm... Actually, it's also a restaurant, but we're a little more advanced, so you can not only eat in our restaurant, but also watch all kinds of theater stories that we don't perform.

By the way, do you know storytelling? ”

"Storytelling...?" Li Chengqian shook his head.

At this time, Li Zhan thought about it, in fact, the real profession of storytelling should be in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was still the Tang Dynasty at this time, and no one had ever heard of the profession of storytelling.

Li Zhan nodded and said, "Hmm... Then listen to me tell you a passage. ”

followed Li Zhan and started to tell the story, what was he talking about, it was "Journey to the West"... Because in Li Zhan's Chinese Encyclopedia, there is a sub-section of Chinese literature, and there is a paragraph in it that records Chinese opera in detail.

I will simply show you a paragraph: it is written in the book that in the traditional concept of Chinese literature, it is often regarded as street talk; Opera is considered to be a work that cannot be elegantly classified. Therefore, and opera started late, until the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties developed rapidly, some great writers and works appeared one after another, such as the Yuan Dynasty Guan Hanqing's "Dou E's Injustice", Wang Shifu's "The Legend of the West Chamber", the Ming Dynasty Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion", "Qing Dynasty Kong Shangren's Peach Blossom Fan", etc., are all immortal works; "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "Confucianism", etc.

Hehe... You know the horror of this Chinese encyclopedia, it's very detailed, only what you haven't thought of, there won't be something that the encyclopedia doesn't have.

The beginning of Journey to the West is a poem, after Li Zhan finished reading, Li Chengqian noticed a trace of charm, and then followed Li Zhan curiously to listen to it, this listening is amazing, the more I listen to it, the more I want to listen, the more I listen to it, the more I love to listen.

His thoughts were brought into the time of Journey to the West, and he felt as if he was like the Monkey King who was not afraid of heaven and earth.

The fantasy content of Journey to the West deeply attracted Li Chengqian, who was only 17 years old, Dragon Palace, Heavenly Court, Hell... These places of fairies and ghosts make Li Chengqian yearn for it very much.

Golden hoop sticks, somersault clouds, seventy-two changes... Li Chengqian sank without the slightest resistance.

But just when Li Zhan said that Sun Wukong was caught by the Jade Emperor after making a big fuss in the sky, Li Chengqian was about to go crazy with nervousness, suddenly Li Zhan took a sip of water and waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, my throat is dumb, I'll go first... You remember for me, hurry up and go to the prison, don't delay my business. ”

After speaking, Li Zhan got up and was about to leave.

"What... Do not say? Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan, who was about to leave, hugged Li Zhan's arm and shouted, "Big brother... Let's go, please, let's talk about it again! ”
