Chapter 346: Purpose

Lin Feng and Ling Yun looked at Zhao Shuo, knowing that this prince was going to say something earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods this time. They looked at Zhao Shuo intently www.biquge.info ready to listen.

Seeing that Lin Feng and Ling Yun were just looking at themselves but not speaking, Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly. "What do I ask you? How did they all become mute. Tell me, tell me, if I think of a solution, do you think it's feasible to open a casino? ”

Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Lin Feng smiled and said. "Lord Wang, aren't we waiting for you to say this!"

Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly, and then said his thoughts. "My idea was to open a casino and try it out. Casino, I will set the relevant threshold, below a certain silver tael, mirror entry. In this way, even if the average income family wants to participate in gambling, they can only watch from a distance or go to other small casinos. Gambling is a different thing, and it is almost impossible to eliminate it. ”

"Once the threshold is set, I will promote new ways to play and new rules. How to play, there are mainly ......"

Zhao Shuo once again talked about the types of mahjong, dice, pai gow, and poker that he knew and understood.

After saying this, Zhao Shuo thought about it and said again. "Gambling? I think backgammon, Go, chess, etc. are fine. ”

After a pause, Zhao Shuo said again. "For those who can't participate, we can hold a competition on a regular basis, and there is no limit to the contestants, as long as they can play and want to participate, all are allowed to register. After that, the competition is repeated until the champion is decided. For the champions, we can give a certain reward, so that this kind of competition model can be held year after year. ”

Zhao Shuo said a lot of new things, especially the championship competition later, Lin Feng and Ling Yun listened to it with a blank face, and their brains couldn't react.

"Hey, hey!" Zhao Shuo pushed Lin Feng and Ling Yun, who were already stupid. "What do you think?"

"It sounds good, but we are all rough people, it's okay to lead troops to fight, this is a brain-based thing......" Lin Feng scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. For what Zhao Shuo said just now, he couldn't understand it at all.

Zhao Shuo looked at Ling Yun helplessly. "What do you think?"

Ling Yun thought for a while before he said. "I can't say this, I just think it's quite fresh, and it's hard to say whether the people can accept it. After all, there are many refugees now, if you can't solve such a problem, what the prince said, I think ......"

Ling Yun didn't say it explicitly, but Zhao Shuo understood what he was going to say. It is indeed unrealistic that the refugee problem cannot be solved, that they do not even have enough to eat, and that they go hungry every day to enjoy themselves.

But what Ling Yun didn't know was that Zhao Shuo had already found a solution to the food crisis, that is, the refugee crisis.

"Yes!" Zhao Shuo hesitated for a while, thought about it again and again, and still didn't say anything about sending troops to Li Chao. "Go down first."

After Ling Yun and Lin Feng left, Zhao Shuo said to Fluttershy. "Go find Zhang Chujiu."

Zhang Chujiu was busy improving the intelligence system at this time, in order to report the news to Zhao Shuo in time, he stayed in Luoyang, and lived next door to Zhao Shuo's mansion.

It didn't take long for Zhang Chujiu to be brought over by Fluttershy.

Seeing Zhang Chujiu, Zhao Shuo asked straightforwardly. "On the ninth day of the first month, how is the reform of Qidi, is there any news?"

Zhang Chujiu seemed to be prepared, and after Zhao Shuo asked, he said directly. "The reform of Qidi is very successful, everything is not much different from the Chang'an generation, the Yuejia army is strictly disciplined, and officials from all over the country are also being selected, I believe it will not be long before there can be completely peaceful."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chujiu's face had an expression of wanting to say something.

"Say whatever you want." Zhao Shuo said.

"It's still a refugee problem, Qidi has been fighting for years, and when it was returned, a large amount of grain was smuggled away by the generals of the Jin State. This year's planting season, not to mention the seeds planted, I don't even have food to eat. In this way, even if you can barely get through this year, next year will be full of crises. Zhang Chujiu said in a low voice.

Zhao Shuo nodded lightly. "I'll figure out a way to deal with the food problem." After a pause, Zhao Shuo said again. "Now that the reform of Qidi has been basically completed, there is no need for the military division to stay there." Pointing at Zhang Chujiu with his hand. "Chu Jiu, you immediately ask someone to send a message to Wu Yashi, let him come back immediately, I have something to find him."

"Yes!" Zhang Chujiu bowed and left.

…………………………………………………………………

Half a month has passed, and it is now the end of April, and the beginning of May, the grain problem has become more prominent, and various localities have become unstable again.

According to Zhao Shuo's will, there are a lot of porridge fields in various places, but there is no food at all. At first, it was dry porridge, then gruel, and now, it is almost water.

Zhao Shuo also shook his head and sighed every day, he was waiting for news from Zhang Boyu, that is, Li Chao, but Li Chao was too far away from Zhao Shuo. It's useless to rush now.

On Wu Yashi's side, Zhao Shuo was also very sad. It stands to reason that there is not too much distance from the Daimyo Mansion of Qidi to Luoyang, and if you are fast, you can come back in three or five or seven days. But now it's been a month, and the witch hasn't arrived yet.

Zhao Shuo asked Zhang Chujiu many times, and Zhang Chujiu's answer was on the road, no problems occurred, and it would come soon.

In the midst of the tormented waiting, on the twentieth day, Wu Yashi finally returned.

"Xiaosheng greets the prince." As soon as he returned to Luoyang, Wu Yashi immediately rushed to Zhao Shuo's mansion.

Looking at Wu Yashi, Zhao Shuo thought and thought before he said. "I called the military advisor back this time to discuss something with the military advisor."

"Lord Wang, please speak." Wu Yashi saluted.

After Zhao Shuo said the opening of a casino and a series of his own thoughts again, he looked at Wu Yashi and waited for his answer.

Wu Yashi pondered for a long time before he said. "Xiao Sheng agrees with this strategy, but now it is a little out of place."

"The people are in distress, and there are too many victims, right?" Zhao Shuo spoke at this time. "As the saying goes, if you don't eat or drink, you will starve to death if you are hungry, who is in the mood to gamble, who is in the mood to participate in the competition, and who is ......"

Zhao Shuo said a lot, and then looked at Wu Yashi again.

"Lord Wang......" Wu Yashi opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and said. In addition to the unavoidable, there is also the problem of expenses. We are in dire need of food now, and if we want to build casinos and promote tournaments, we might as well buy food. ”

Wu Yashi finished speaking, but Zhao Shuo smiled. "Strategist, what would you think if we exchanged the gambling bets and the rewards for participating in the tournament for food?"

Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Wu Yashi was stunned.

"Strategist, I don't believe that those rich people don't have food, they are just waiting for the right time. I don't want to force them to come up with such a solution. The big ones gamble or gamble, because when they have gambled on the grain, they can either exchange it for gold and silver with me, or they can take the grain and leave, but, I think, they will choose gold and silver. And the refugees, for the sake of food, will voluntarily learn the new gameplay I designed, so that even if they are in hardship, they will have a head start, and the whole country should be able to settle down for a while. ”

Sighing, Zhao Shuo continued. "Strategist, what do you think of this time?"

Wu Yashi also sighed softly. The prince said this, and Xiao Sheng agreed with the prince's statement. Support the policy of the prince. ”
