The Song Dynasty was an era of good gambling, and it can be said that the whole people were good at gambling, from the emperors and generals to the common people, all of whom were happy to gamble.

But although the whole people are good at gambling, but the harm of this gambling is also known to the world, so starting from Song Taizu, a series of laws and regulations were promulgated to prohibit gambling. In the period of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, he even issued an edict that if he was caught gambling in Kaifeng Mansion, he would be beheaded and tortured. In the Song Zhenzong period, there was also a story that the Jinshi who had been admitted was deprived of his fame because he was exposed to having gambled.

Of course, the court of the Song Dynasty also knew that the common people liked gambling too much, and it was extremely difficult to completely ban it, so it ordered that if gambling was on holidays, then it was legal, which also made the records of various festivals in the Song Dynasty often visible.

At this time of Zhao Ji, although the regulations are still there, both the implementation and deterrence are not as good as before, that is, Zhao Ji himself sometimes pulls some close ministers to Guan Po for fun, which is good and bad, Guan Pu is also completely flooded among the people, even if someone reports, the general county government is too lazy to care about this matter.

Despite this, Jiang De still has some scruples, after all, his Qionglou has sprung up, and it is easy to provoke others' eyes, although some things are usually not pursued, but if someone insists on making a fuss, they also hate it, it is better to solve some things at the beginning.

When Lu Junyi heard Jiang De's words, he couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "Xiao Langjun, you also know that your senior brother and mine love to dance with guns and sticks on weekdays, but the things in this business are really not clear, junior brother, you should just say it." ”

Wang Ming smiled and said, "It's not okay to be outside, our business is getting bigger and bigger now, if you don't care at all, be careful that the people below swallow your money!" ”

Lu Junyi laughed and said, "Then it's up to you, the king, to send a few more gentlemen to help me check the accounts." ”

Wang Ming arched his hand to say that he was sure, and Jiang De continued, "Having said that, in fact, the method is very simple, our casino... No, it should be called a playground, we will have all kinds of entertainment in this playground, but no gambling is allowed! Not only gambling money, but also all other possessions are not allowed to be used as bets directly in the playground! ”

Lu Junyi said incomprehensibly, "Xiao Langjun, although I don't know much about the gambling house, I also know that the reason why those people are so obsessed with Guan Pu is that they hope to get rich overnight." ”

Jiang De nodded, and said approvingly, "Senior brother can be said to be in a word, no matter what kind of game we have in the playground, if you want to serve it, you need to spend something called game currency, this game currency will be specially made in my playground, in case of counterfeiting, everyone takes this game currency to participate in the game, the number of game coins required for various games is different, some need one, and some need several."

The player hands the game currency to the staff, that is, the dealer and starts to play the game, if he wins the game, he can continue to play the game and get different times the game currency, if he loses, the game currency is gone, and naturally he can not continue to play the game.

The most important thing is that we only sell this in-game currency, not collect it! ”

"Just sell and don't collect? How does this work? In this case, those who win the game can't do anything with the game currency? Lu Junyi shook his head like a rattle and said.

Jiang De nodded and said, "Yes, it is only sold and not collected, and those who take more game currency can only continue to play our game until they run out of game currency, of course, if they trade privately, we will not care." ”

Lu Junyi seemed to realize something, he clapped his hands and said, "I see, our game currency is the qualification to play the game, not the money and things that Guan Pu, although the essence is the same, but if you say it in another way, you can explain to the above." ”

Wang Ming interjected, "Actually, the government has long been ignored at the time of this rush, but I am afraid that someone will do bad to us, and secondly, it will also make us different here and elsewhere, and it will be different, and this game currency is not silver money after all, and the psychological burden when playing will be much less." Third, this game currency only goes in and out, that is, it only makes money and does not lose. ”

Lu Junyi thought about it, it seems to be this reason, in fact, to put it bluntly, this method is also a kind of guanpu, but after all, it is different from ordinary gambling houses, this has an opportunity to quibble, Jiang De is also hooked with Liang Shijie and even Cai Jing, as long as there is a rhetoric, then there will be no problem. ”

As he was talking, Yan Qing walked in with a person, Jiang De and the others looked at it, only to see that this person was more than seven feet long, with pale yellow bones and a face, a pair of fresh eyes, no mustache, but he was a good man.

The big man came in and looked at everyone, Yan Qing introduced and said, "Master, Xiao Langjun, Wang Yuan, this is General Shi Yong!" ”

Shi Yong stepped forward and clenched his fists and said, "Little Shi Yong has seen Lu Yuanwai. ”

Jiang De saw that this Shi Yong didn't greet him, nor was he angry, he had long known that although this Shi Yong was not very capable, he was an arrogant master, not to mention that he was only twelve years old now, it was not easy to get the heart of a reckless person like Shi Yong.

Jiang De didn't think that it would be the same as in some books, when others saw him, they would bow their heads and worship, but if you follow this standard, it seems that Song Jiang is more like the protagonist.

Jiang De shook his head and shook away the messy thoughts, looked at Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi touched his beautiful hair and said, "Shi Yong, do you know why I came to you?" ”

Shi Yong nodded and said, "Brother Xiaoyi told me on the way here, saying that he had set up a restaurant with others, and he would set up a place behind the restaurant, and asked me to help watch the scene." ”

Lu Junyi nodded and said, "These two are the other two shareholders of this restaurant, one is Wang Ming and Wang Baozheng, and the other is Jiang De and Jiang Xiaolangjun, who are my junior brothers. ”

Shi Yong gave Jiang De an arch at this time.

Jiang De shook his head, didn't care, and said to Shi Yong, "Brother Shi Yong, you tell us first, what skills do you have?" ”

Shi Yong also knew that this was an opportunity, he opened gambling in various places on weekdays, and there was no day for a day, so he naturally hoped that he could eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl in the future, so he said, "Hui Xiaolangjun, we won't do anything else, all kinds of tricks in this gambling house are clear, and we still have this body strength, not to mention anything else, three or four strong men are also intimate." ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "In my Qionglou, there are many guards and guards, as well as accounts and kitchens, but there is a lack of a person who understands the affairs of the gambling house, Brother Shi Yong, this is extremely suitable, but our Qionglou is not an ordinary gambling house, there are many differences from other gambling houses, Brother Shi Yong has the confidence to manage it well?" ”

Shi Yong laughed and said, "Xiao Langjun, please rest assured, I Shi Yong has no other skills, which is still a bit of a trick in the word betting." ”

Jiang De snorted and asked, "I don't know if there are other people in Brother Shi Yong's family?" Can you marry a sister-in-law? ”

Shi Yong scratched his head and said, "We have a leak in our pocket, and we can't save money, so I didn't marry, and there is an old mother at home, but our mother thinks I'm incompetent and incompetent, so I don't want to pay attention to me, I haven't been home for more than half a year, and I will find a place to deal with it for one night on weekdays." ”

Jiang De laughed and said, "But that's the case, which mother doesn't want the child to have a meal outside to sleep in the open, but now you are about to have a chance, I, the deputy manager of the playground in Qionglou, has fifteen feet in a month, and I believe your mother will be satisfied... That's it, I have a bag of broken silver here, you take it first, go back and settle your mother, you're not here as a son, and I don't know what our mother eats and drinks... This money is given to you, you don't need to pay it back, as for the daughter-in-law, if you are really suitable for our Qionglou, I believe that there will be a lot of girls willing to marry you in the fifteenth month, even if you are not suitable for our playground in the end, I will arrange something for you to do, and I will definitely not let you run in vain. ”

As he spoke, Jiang De took out a small bag of silver from his arms, which was actually Jiang De's pocket money, walked up to Shi Yong, and said with a smile, "Brother Shi Yong is really tall, take it!" ”

Shi Yong took the money in a daze, and Jiang De said to Yan Qing next to him, "Brother Xiaoyi, you should accompany you to this matter, otherwise Brother Shi Yong, my mother will think that Brother Shi Yong is lying to him, saying that this money was robbed by Brother Shi Yong." ”

When Wang Ming and Lu Junyi heard this, they all looked at each other and smiled, isn't it, if this Shi Yong really passed like this, his mother might think that he had killed people and robbed goods.

Shi Yong held the heavy money bag, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart, in this life, some people were afraid of him, some people hated him, and some people hated him, but no one loved him except the old lady. Looking at Jiang De who was smiling in front of him, his nose was sour, he knelt down with a puff, hugged his fists and said, "Xiao Langjun, the little one just has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know that Xiao Langjun is such a righteous person, please rest assured, as long as I am here, I will definitely ensure that no one can come out of Qionglou, if Xiao Langjun thinks that I am useless, it is okay, I Shi Yong will always remember Xiao Langjun's kindness." ”

Jiang De waited for Shi Yong to finish speaking, and hurriedly helped Shi Yong up, Shi Yong still wanted to hold up, but found that he was not Jiang De's opponent at all, and the whole person was helped up like this, only then did he know that Jiang De was not only anxious for justice and righteousness, but also had good martial arts.

In fact, this is also Shi Yong's martial arts are not high, just a little brute force, and although Jiang De is only twelve years old now, his body has grown very fast, and he is boiling his body every day, and ordinary men are no longer Jiang De's opponents.

After Jiang De asked Yan Qing to take Shi Yong down and sat back in his place, Wang Ming couldn't help but praise Jiang De, "Xiao Langjun is so gracious, I believe that Shi Yong will definitely fall in love." ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "Wang Yuanwai, I have said before that the relationship must be maintained by feelings, but it must not rely only on feelings, if this Shi Yong is really suitable, he will be promoted in the future, and only rising hope can make people loyal to a certain organization." ”

Wang Ming listened a little thoughtfully, Lu Junyi listened to it a lot, looking at Lu Junyi, who couldn't turn his brain, Jiang De shook his head helplessly, his senior brother seems to be majestic to outsiders, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people, but in fact, he really doesn't understand too many things, but maybe it's because of this that his senior brother will become a top master, a person who has too many scheming, it is difficult to reach a real height in martial arts.

On the other side, Shi Yong and Yan Qing came out together, and went straight to Shi Yong's house, on the way Shi Yong asked Yan Qing, "Brother Xiaoyi, who is that Xiao Langjun?" It seems that Lu Yuanwai also listens to him. ”

Yan Qing nodded and smiled, "This little Langjun's name is Jiang De, and it is said that his origin is not ordinary, do you know the IKEA oil mill?" ”

Shi Yong looked down on me and said, "Who doesn't know this, this IKEA oil mill is a big oil mill, and it is said that there are branches everywhere in the country." ”

Yan Qing said with a smile, "The person who said about this IKEA oil mill is this Xiao Langjun, whether it is the initial soybean oil extraction, or the later development and expansion, it is all run by Xiao Langjun, do you know that this IKEA oil mill has only been a year since it appeared and has spread all over 13 roads and 200 counties in the county." ”

Shi Yong took a breath, and was even more in awe of Jiang De in his heart, how old is this, he has such a ability, this can already be said to be a monster. In the end, it can only be attributed to Jiang De's master, you see, isn't this other apprentice Hebei Jade Qilin.

Yan Qing and Shi Yong walked more and more afar, and the surrounding houses slowly fell into disrepair, and finally came to a house, Shi Yong looked at the door, a little timid, Yan Qing instinctively laughed, he stepped forward and pushed the door open and said, "Shi Yong, can the be at home?" ”

"Who?" A somewhat weak voice came, only to see a white-haired old woman walk out, her face full of sorrow, seeing Yan Qing find that she didn't know, she couldn't help asking, "Housheng, who are you?" But what's wrong with that kid? If my evil beast owes you money, you can just take it and spare my life, no matter what my son commits in the future. Saying that, the old woman trembled and was about to bow down, and at first glance, she didn't know how many times she had solved trouble for Shi Yong.

Shi Yong outside only felt that his nose was sour when he heard this, so he hurriedly rushed out, knelt down in front of the old woman and said, "Mother, mother, it's the child who is back!" The child has made money, and the child is back! ”

When the old woman saw that it was Shi Yong, she wanted to hug her at first, but she stopped, knocked down the money bag handed over by Shi Yong and said, "The old man doesn't want your money!" You wicked beast don't know where to cheat people out of their money, and I took your money, but I ended up in trouble. ”

Shi Yong said anxiously, "Mother, this is not a child to deceive, the child has found a serious job, in Qionglou, it is the Qionglou opposite Cuiyun Building that is about to open, then, this is Lu Junyi's own person outside Lu Yuanwai, Yan Qingyan Xiaoyi, he is specially here to testify." ”

When the old woman heard this, she looked at Yan Qing expectantly and asked, "What my child said is true?" ”

Yan Qing hurriedly replied, "It's true, old woman, Brother Shi Yong was favored by my master and Xiao Langjun, and was going to recruit him to be a deputy steward in my Qionglou, but I heard that the old woman you live alone, and my Xiao Langjun is worried that you have no one to take care of, so I asked Brother Shi Yong to pick you up, and this money was also given to Brother Shi Yong by my Xiao Langjun personally, and I don't need to pay it back, but let Brother Shi Yong bring it to you so that you can help him save it, so that Brother Shi Yong can find a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"Huh?" When Shi Yong heard that this bag of silver was going to be given to his mother, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Yan Qing saw that Shi Yong was still making a mistake, and couldn't help kicking it, Shi Yong quickly nodded and said, "That's it, that's it, mother, you just believe me." ”

The old woman nodded again and again, and said with tears streaming down her face, "Okay, I believe it!" I believe it! Boy, that's good, that's good... Have a serious thing to do, don't wander outside again, do things for the owner in the future, don't be greedy for money. ”

Shi Yong sighed, Yan Qing looked at the mother and son, and couldn't help but think of her own life experience, and couldn't help sighing, but also thought that Lu Junyi treated him like a nephew, and Xiao Langjun treated him like a brother, and couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart.
