"Lord, Wang Fugui, the owner of the Fugui Gambling House, brought it!" Xu Chu entered the house and told Liu De.

Liu De didn't raise his head, he held Xiao Liu Zhao in his arms, and said directly: "You take him to the living room first, and I'll arrive later!" ”

"Yes!"

The child who was born a few days ago had a red face, grinning, and was in Liu De's arms. After all, being a first-time father is still full of freshness for Liu De.

"Alright, alright, you go busy! Give it to me, child! ”

Qian took the child from Liu De's arms and said to Liu De.

Ma Yuxuan was behind Qian's, looking at Liu De, who was deflated, covering her small mouth and secretly enjoying herself.

Qian glanced at Ma Yuxuan and reprimanded: "And you, hurry back to the bed and lie down, what should I do if I catch a cold!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Yuxuan lowered her eyebrows and responded in response.

Wang Fugui followed Xu Chu step by step, and came to the living room, Xu Chu ordered the maid to serve tea, and then said to Wang Fugui: "Boss Wang, wait a while, the lord will come over in a while." ”

Wang Fugui hurriedly said: "It's really troublesome general!" ”

"It's okay!"

Xu Chu nodded, out of the main hall, leaving Wang Fugui alone very anxiously waiting for Liu De's arrival in the hall, very frightened, he was a small gambling house owner, was actually received by the lord of Yanzhou, this identity is very different, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

After a while, Liu De came to the main hall, but he was not alone, in addition to Dian Wei and Xu Chu's two bodyguards, he was also followed by Dai Zong, the commander of the Gong Wei Division.

"The grass people meet the state herdsman!"

Wang Fugui trembled and bowed.

"Get up!"

Liu De flicked his sleeves and said.

At first glance, Wang Fugui has a very cheesy name, but he looks quite thoughtful, and he wears a green shirt, which is no different from a literati.

Wang Fugui's buttocks hung in the air, and the hot tea on the side didn't move, and his hands were on his stomach from time to time, and some were placed on the handle of the chair, looking a little flustered.

Liu De looked at Wang Fugui, who was a little restless, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, it's actually nothing big for General Ben to call you over!" ”

"Yes..."

When Wang Fugui heard Liu De say this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and relaxed his expression slightly.

"You made a lot of money with martial arts as a gamble this time!"

Hearing Liu De's words, Wang Fugui jumped up from the chair like a frightened bird, and hurriedly explained: "The grass people... The grass people only made a small amount of money. ”

"Sit, sit! Don't stand! ”

Liu De said with a smile, but in Wang Fugui's eyes, Liu De's smile was as terrible as a demon, and when it was over, my hard-earned foundation would be gone.

Liu De continued: "General Ben has sent someone to investigate your life experience, although he has secretly done a lot of hookups, but compared to others, you are a gambling house owner who is relatively clean, which is really beyond General Ben's expectations." ”

Dai Zong still had a bundle of bamboo slips at Wang Fugui's feet.

Wang Fugui's head was already covered with cold sweat, and he even felt wet in his crotch.

picked up the bamboo slips, which recorded in detail what he had done in recent years, and it was exactly the same.

Wang Fugui sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and kept kowtowing: "Adult, the little one swears, the little one has never hurt a single person, and the dead are all ruffians and hooligans, and the evil people are full of evil, and please spare the little one's life!" ”

"General Ben didn't say to kill you, otherwise you would still be here?" Liu De was still quite satisfied with Wang Fugui's reaction.

"Your Excellency... Small... This... I don't know what the so-called adults want to be small? Wang Fugui calmed down and said directly to Liu De.

Liu Dedao: "You have gone from a young man to the owner of a gambling house, and with the help of martial arts to expand the influence of your gambling house, it can be said that you are a good move, you are a talent, and the general wants you to help me do things!" ”

Wang Fugui was stunned: "What does the general mean?" ”

"General Ben has always had an idea, but unfortunately there is no expert in this line of work, until General Ben found out about you, you have the means, and the vision, and it is even more rare that you have a little bottom line..."

"The little one was poor from a young age, so although he is now in a gambling house, he actually doesn't do those things that hurt nature!" Wang Fugui kowtowed.

"The big head of the gambling house is to put gāo lì dài, but I didn't expect you to put gāo lì dài? This makes General Ben quite curious..."

"Lord Qiyu, the small gambling houses are still small, those gāo lì dài are controlled by other large gambling houses, and the small ones dare not let go!"

"You're honest, what does General Ben think you're going to make up?" Liu De said with a smile.

Wang Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said quite worriedly: "The adults are wise and powerful, how dare the little ones deceive the adults..."

"Okay, don't say whether there are or not, General Ben called you over to set up a large racecourse in Liaocheng!"

"Racetrack?"

Wang Fugui raised his head and was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, it's the racetrack!"

Liu De tapped his fingers and said with great certainty.

To put it bluntly, the racecourse is betting on horses!

Why did Liu De get a racetrack out!

To put it simply...

No money!

Although Liu De looted a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from other forces, in fact, Liu De's expenses were also very large, especially in armaments, the horses of Mayi, the food and salary of soldiers, and the pensions of soldiers who died in battle.

And in the winter, we will give relief to the people affected by the snow!

Now Xu Guangqi is implementing the Tuntian Order!

Liu De's reward is also extravagant, throwing hundreds of gold and hundreds of gold out, and he doesn't know how distressed he is at all.

There is also a difficult road from Liaocheng to Jinyang Pass, and it is difficult to transport the logistics in a short time, so Liu De also wants to build a road to speed up the march.

It's a pity, there is no money!

Mi Zhu, who was in charge of money and grain, said.

As the lord, in charge of the people of a state, tens of thousands of troops, if there is no money, it is not a trivial matter!

So Liu De must find a way from other aspects!

The purpose of the Tuntian Order was to increase grain and solve the pressure of grain demand, at least not like the late Eastern Han Dynasty, where the phenomenon of people chī rén occurred, of course, it was more to solve the problem of the supply of grain and grass for the army.

You can't have food without money!

So the racecourse was put on the agenda by Liu De.

But without the corresponding talent, you can't expect your own subordinate officials to go to the official racecourse!

This is an insult to them!

I'll show you every minute!

Only businessmen can do it, and the subsequent martial arts ceremony, Wang Fugui entered Liu De's eyes.

Liu De then sent Dai Zong to investigate Wang Fugui and investigate a gambling house owner, which was relatively easy for Gong Weisi, and within two days, all the information about Wang Fugui was sent to Liu De's case.

Liu De knew that Wang Fugui should be the most suitable candidate.

The government can't organize such a thing, at least not on the surface, so it needs Wang Fugui such a white glove.

And gambling on horses can earn a lot of money, especially the money of those gentlemen, cockfighting and lackeys to visit the kiln is their daily routine, if the gambling horse farm is established, it will definitely attract the attention of a large number of people, which is a daily gold business.

It will also promote the folk horse industry, and even increase the number of folk good riders, although raising horses is actually the exclusive property of the rich, and the poor people can't eat enough, how can they have the money to raise horses, but it does have a certain promoting effect.

Wang Fugui's head spun rapidly, he finally knew what Liu De called him over, how could he refuse such a good thing, who was Liu De? The Lord of Yanzhou!

As long as he does what he ordered to do well, even if there is some soup left, it will be enough for him to be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, and maybe his son will also hope to get rid of the identity of a businessman.

Besides, do you dare to refuse now?

"By the general's orders alone!"

After Wang Fugui finished speaking, he touched the ground with his head and said very respectfully.

"Good!"

Liu De nodded, this Wang Fugui is a person who understands current affairs.

Liu De handed a silk letter to Wang Fugui, "This is some outline written by this general, after you go back, think about it, refine the content, and then report to me!" ”

This silk book is written about some content about horse racing competitions and management, but Liu De doesn't know much about these, just see what means this gambling house owner has!

"The grass people must live up to the general's trust!"

Wang Fugui carefully took the silk book and kowtowed to Liu De.

Wang Fugui followed Xu Chu out of the main hall, and when Wang Fugui stood outside the gate of Liu's mansion, he realized that his back had already soaked his clothes.

However, Wang Fugui looked at the silk book in his hand, and his wealth in the future could be all on this silk book.

Wang Fugui was already a little impatient, stuffed the silk book into his arms, and got into his own carriage.

"Master, where are we going?" The groom asked looking back.

"Go home!"

"Dai Zong, has anyone found out behind those gāo lì dài?" After Wang Fugui left, Liu De's expression gradually became serious, and this problem was actually a very serious matter.

However, gāo lì dài cannot be banned at all, where there is demand, there is buying and selling, and this is the case in an era of human deterioration.

Moreover, the folk behavior of borrowing is a willing business, and it is impossible for Liu De to stop it, but gāo lì dài has ruined too many people.

As for the controllers of gāo lì dài, that is, those families in Liaocheng, Liu De thought it was necessary to combat the arrogance of the gāo lì dài merchants.

After all, this is a factor that affects social instability.

"Lord Qiqi, I found a few of them along the vine, and the rest will be found soon!" Dai Zong said.

"Oh! Gong Weisi was already understaffed, and the newly recruited group of novices who didn't know anything could probe so quickly? ”

Liu De questioned, he didn't expect Dai Zong's efficiency to be so high.

Dai Zong smiled bitterly and said: "Don't dare to deceive the lord, those gambling houses and merchants who put gāo lì dài are not at all covered, they are very blatant, go find a few rangers who are familiar with the realm to know who is behind these people!" ”

Liu De nodded and said: "I didn't expect this group of people to be bold and reckless to this point, it seems that I still want to be left!" ”

"Many families rely on gāo lì dài to collect a large amount of money, and those ordinary people who can't afford to pay off gāo lì dài have to sell their land and sell their sons and daughters to pay off their debts, which is quite miserable anyway!" Dai Zong said on the side.

"We must rectify it, our basic plate is not those family valves, but the real grassroots people." Liu Dedao.

"Remember!"

Dai Zong promised.

......

Liu De then went to Li Lan's small courtyard, but he only saw Li Lan's personal maid Cai Wei, but did not see Li Lan.

"Where's Lan'er?"

Liu De asked.

"Back to the master, Mrs. went out of the city with Chen Yingxiao Jie, Mrs. said, I think the house is too stuffy, it's not interesting at all!" Cai Wei squatted for a thousand blessings and said.

"This Lan'er ran out and didn't say a word to me!"

Liu De muttered a sentence and said to Cai Wei: "Okay, you're busy with yours!" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that Li Lan was not there, Liu De went to see Guo You, who was about to give birth in a month, after all, Guo You is twins, but it is much harder than Ma Yuxuan at the beginning, Liu De also called Ma to the house to take care of Guo You.

Then Liu De went straight back to his house.

"System, I want a lottery!"

Liu De turned on the system, he had enough 3020 skill points these days, Liu De thought about it and drew directly! It's been a long time since I've drawn a lottery, so maybe something good will come out this time!

System: "Ding, does the player spend 3000 skill points to draw six times!" ”

"Pump!"

"Ding! Congratulations, you didn't win anything! ”

"Ding! Congratulations, you didn't win anything! ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the players, you have obtained the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty měi nǚ Chen Yuanyuan, and you will appear in front of the players at the right time. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, you have won the [Wisdom General Wine] to increase the strength of generals with less than 100 intelligence by 8, but the maximum value is 100, and you will be called hào: military advisor. ”

"Ding! Congratulations, you didn't win anything! ”

"Ding! Congratulations, you didn't win anything! ”

---------------

"Who? Chen Yuanyuan? ”

Liu De rolled over from the bed, but he didn't expect Yang Yuhuan, who often haunts the mall, to not come out, and a Chen Yuanyuan who was no less than her came out.

Chen Yuanyuan, one of the "Qin Huai Bayan", that Wu Sangui was angry at Chen Yuanyuan.

If Wu Sangui did not surrender to Dolgon, Mite Qing would have entered the customs at least a few decades later, so Chen Yuanyuan changed history with her charm.

For Liu De, měi nǚ is just a hào.

Except for Chen Ying, Li Lan, and Xi'er, other women are either interested or to solve their physiological needs, Chen Yuanyuan is in the United States, and Liu De is unlikely to be addicted to wine because of this, but more likely to have a desire to collect {harmony} hope.

[Zhijiang Wine] and the [Mengjiang Wine] that he drew a long time ago can not only increase the attributes, but also increase the hào, which can be said to be very powerful, Liu De wants to wait for his attributes to go up, use it himself, put it away first!

Liu De glanced at his attributes, Charisma 72, and he had already studied [Ability Research: Charisma +5 Medium] 5 times, which could increase the charm of generals with less than 80 charisma by 5, but the maximum value was 80.

So Liu De used it twice and raised his charm to 80.

Up to now, Liu De has finally reached eighty in one attribute, which is gratifying!

Congratulations!
