Chapter 37: Peer Calculations
Speaking of this Texas casino, Gao Shide is following the model of a modern casino before he travels through. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a variety of new types of gambling games, gambling methods are used. In addition to the traditional bets on the size and pai gow, there are also the popular lottery cards, playing cards that replace cards with wooden cards, and mahjong fired from ceramics. Except for the lottery code, which only opens once every three days, the rest are invested on the day of the opening of the casino.
The so-called lottery code, in fact, is similar to the modern welfare lottery lotto, completely lucky, hit the luck. All kinds of sky-high odds are stopping, can't stand the temptation, and unlike other gambling, this lottery is set up on this large street every time. On the grounds of openness and fairness, it is displayed to the public. The yard balls of the lottery code are all specially fired ceramic balls, with a total of one to one hundred numbers. Ten yards are shaken each time, and the tenth is a special code. The special code pays eighty-eight, and the ordinary code pays eight. In order to make a big publicity, Gao Shide specially found a few supports, and when the first lottery was drawn, one won eighty-eight taels of silver and became rich overnight. The other one is five ordinary yards in a row, and four hundred wen in ten cents.
You must know that in ancient times, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, five taels of silver was enough for ordinary people to live for a year. That's right, even if it's a family, it's still calculated according to the grassroots people in Tokyo City. It is conceivable that this money is a naked temptation for ordinary people, civil and military officials, and rich people. In the face of such a temptation, everyone has no resistance.
Under the publicity of the first few issues, the lottery code of this Texas gambling house can be said to have become a sought after object in this Tokyo city. From the civil and military officials to the emperor's relatives and relatives, down to the ordinary Li people. The flow of people who come to the Texas casino to place bets every day is endless.
"Xianggong." As soon as Gao Shide went home, Duan Siya hugged Gao Shide's shoulders very abnormally and sprinkled coquettishly.
"Yo, you don't have a fever!" Gao Shide was a little incredulous, reached out and touched his wife's forehead, and greeted him with a cautious face.
"No, it's that I've been trying to make you some new clothes lately." Duan Siya looked at it from the left, looking like a drunkard who didn't mean to drink.
"Then do it! No, you don't have the money to spend! Gao Shide only reacted at this time, after all, he had been married for so long, and he had never seen the dignified Dali County Lord so abnormal.
"Haha, this, this."
"I understand, I understand. Then go to the flowers! Not enough to ask me again. Gao Shide didn't want to take out a handful of silver tickets worth thousands of silver from his sleeve, and said very happily.
"Xianggong, I knew you were the best." His wife Duan Siya snatched the silver ticket, and after giving Gao Shide a fragrant kiss, she walked out with the maid on her own. Gao Shide, who was free, took Ma Liu and went straight to the outer courtyard in the east of the city.
"Xiao Zhu, this is one hundred taels of silver, you go to the Texas casino to help me buy eighteen special yards, and the rest will bet me one to twenty ordinary yards." After secretly hiding outside the door and seeing Gao Shide leave, Duan Siya instructed her henchman to go to the Texas gambling house secretly.
Of course, it didn't know what the calculation was, and Gao Shide knew about it, and he wouldn't object to her doing it. After all, this Texas gambling house was opened by Gao Shide himself in secret, and winning or losing is his own money, anyway, the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Due to the opening of the Texas gambling house by Gao Shide, the business of the major gambling houses in Tokyo City was affected. Among them, the biggest loss is not the Haichuan Gambling House opposite, but the Tianhua Gambling House on the next street. Speaking of this Tianhua gambling house, I have to mention Yang Jian's youngest son, Yang Tianhua. This is a hero-like character, completely different from the loser sons of other dignitaries. And he has a way to make money, and he didn't make a bird, he is willing to act as the second in Tokyo City, and he has to make way for Cai Erye.
Among these sons, except for Second Master Cai, he is the most powerful and capable. However, this is all from his appearance, but in fact, inside, this Yang Xiaoye, who is a hidden dragon in the abyss, is really not simple.
On the surface, his identity is the Taishi Yanei, a general stationed at the city gate. Secretly, in addition to the Tianhua Gambling House that he put on the surface, he is also the backer behind the Wild Wolf Gang, the biggest underworld overlord in Tokyo City.
It can be said that now Gao Shide is ready to work hard to take the road, but this Yang Xiaoye has already achieved it. What does this mean, obviously, the two will definitely have a contest in the future.
Due to the booming business of the Texas gambling house opposite, the old brand Haichuan gambling house opposite is also endless. This is also something that cannot be helped, and the entire city of Tokyo is known as the Texas Gambling House. Gamblers from the east, west, north and south can be said to flock to the place, but the Texas gambling house has not been opened for a long time, and the territory is so large that it can't accommodate too many people. Therefore, the Haichuan gambling house opposite also benefited.
On the surface, it looks like two gambling houses are competing, but in fact, the most bitter thing is Tianhua Gambling House, which has no traffic and business income. After three days, they finally couldn't hold it back, and went to the Taishi Mansion overnight to ask Yang Xiaoye for countermeasures.
"Ah Fu, according to what you say, if it goes on like this, our Tianhua Gambling House will collapse sooner or later, right?" Lying on the Taishi chair, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls around him pinched their feet and beat their backs. Young Master Yang, who was full of enjoyment, laughed and asked rhetorically.
"Master, this is an obvious thing, huh? As soon as the Texas gambling house opened, we Tianhua had no business for three days. The tall and fat shopkeeper had a helpless expression on his face at this time, standing aside and talking with a face full of grievances.
"According to what you say, if you don't use some means, it won't work." Young Master Yang didn't have the anger to glance at the big shopkeeper.
"That's right, sir, you are resourceful, you should deal with this ignorant Texas gambling house." And the big shopkeeper was silent in his fantasy world at this time, and he didn't see Yang Xiaoye's expression at all.
"Ah Fu, how many years did you say you have been with me?" Seeing that the big shopkeeper was still like this, Yang Tianhua stood up.
"Master, it's been ten years." The big shopkeeper was asked coldly, but he blurted out without thinking about it.
"Ten years, not a short time. There can be several decades in life, you have been with me for so long, but you still don't grow. Don't you want to manage the casino anymore? Yang Tianhua said expressionlessly at this time.
When the big shopkeeper heard this, he knelt down in front of Yang Tianhua and cried loudly: "Master, Ah Fu has been loyal to you in the past ten years, and he has been conscientious in taking over the gambling house." There is no merit and hard work, sir. ”
