Chapter 44 Gambling Profits

"The wood that was removed from the back of Zhao's main store has been sold?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked.

Zhao Cai was stunned and said, "No! It's already July, and the weather will get cold in three months, and wood is needed at Tokyo Stadium, so the timber is placed on the construction site of Tokyo Stadium. ”

Zhao Yu nodded fiercely and said, "Very good!" You now make ...... By the way, what's the name of that foreign man in the Ministry of Labor? ”

"Owner! Huzhou Huangjiang Ran also! Zhao Cai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the owner of the shopkeeper was too shaken!

"It turned out to be from Huzhou! Let that guy hurry up immediately, even if it doesn't matter if he builds a wooden shed, build a place behind the audience that can accommodate at least 1,000 people! Zhao Yu said this and asked, "How many people can be accommodated in the first row?" ”

The auditorium's audience stand resembles the Colosseum in that it is oval-shaped, so the first row of seats is quite impressive.

Zhao Cai thought for a while and said, "One hundred and fifty seats!" ”

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "That's it!" These seats are now 150 dollars a piece! Anyway, the tickets are all thirty, postpone these, and reduce the cost of ten cents for each row back! ”

Zhao Cai secretly calculated in his heart, and said: "The owner, even if this is the case, I am afraid that in the middle seat, there will be a mixture of thirty yuan and one hundred and ten or twenty yuan tickets." I'm afraid those viewers are going to make trouble! ”

As the saying goes, we don't suffer from poverty, but we suffer from inequality. The same amount of money, one is 30 yuan, and the other is 110 or 20 yuan, but they sit in the same seat, how do you say that people can be convinced?

Zhao Yu said confidently: "There is no need to mix, it is incomparably so that the number of people is an integer, so that it will not be mixed and sit together." In addition, a box was built with wooden planks in the audience between the tickets sold by the letter and the old tickets. Tickets are sold for 3 cents per room! ”

Zhao Cai said: "The owner's idea is very good, but the price of the box is too low!" It's only three times! ”

Zhao Yu was surprised: "Sanguan is still young? That's enough to buy 10 koku of good japonica rice! ”

Zhao Cai explained: "For the lower-class people, these three runs are naturally a lot, but who is the person who enters the box? They are all high-ranking officials and nobles, don't look at most of the children of those powerful people who don't have any money on hand, but their elders use a lot of money. The price is light, I'm afraid they are still reluctant to buy tickets for the box, thinking that their net worth will be lowered! ”

After a pause, Zhao Cai added: "In addition, the box can't simply let people watch inside. Now that the weather is hot, you need to put ice cubes in it, as well as some seasonal fruits or pastries, and cold drinks to relieve the heat, such as chilled mung bean soup, chilled sour plum soup, chilled watermelon juice, etc. In this way, it is not expensive at all! ”

Zhao Yu already felt that he was doing well, but now he realized that Yang Shufei and Liu E had always restrained themselves. In fact, Liu E and Yang Shufei are relatively economical in the use of money.

For the first time, Zhao Yu felt that it was a very crucial thing for him to recruit Zhao Cai. "Okay, this matter is not familiar to the king, so I will leave it to you! There is a shortage of manpower to build the stadium, go to Zheng Shouzhong, the commander of the front division of the palace, and he will arrange some soldiers to help! ”

Two days later, the Tokyo Stadium was finally slightly rebuilt. Used for the big brawl, this big brawl really looked like a war, and it made a lot of spectators shout excitedly, especially those who were in the market. Everyone has a heroic dream in their minds, of course, for those civil officials, but they are very disgusted, but it is difficult to say anything about this matter.

But Zhao Yu also left a 'martial arts' evaluation in the minds of civil officials, and civilian officials have always been very hostile to military generals. For this reason, Zhao Yu was not embarrassed by the civil officials. Zhao Yu still doesn't know that he was shot while lying down.

The big smash bra provided Zhao Yu with an income of 2,000 guan! Naturally, these revenues are not all tickets, in fact, the income from tickets is very low, after all, thirty wen a ticket, two thousand tickets is only sixty yuan!

The real big head comes from the gambling house, that is, Da Song Gaming, and this is only the sixty percent that Zhao Yu gets! In addition, there are some rents, which come from the sellers who bring things in and sell them. Now that the weather is hot, many people are willing to spend a few yuan to buy a cup of cool tea, or spend more than ten yuan to buy a bowl of chilled mung bean soup and sour plum soup.

After the big brawl, the top seventy-two were also produced.

Due to the need to renovate the stadium, the match was postponed to August.

Although the Bianliang sword debate was temporarily stopped, a wave of martial arts competitions was also set off in Bianliang City. Those gambling halls are also red one by one, and they take the opportunity to hold a martial arts competition to make money.

But this has angered the officials, these officials are the most afraid of the martial arts, how can they give you strength? Immediately one by one, what chivalry violates the ban on martial arts, and the people respect martial arts, and the rebellion of the five generations will be sent, and a large number of recitals will be sent.

Song Renzong and Liu E were afraid, although Song Renzong could be regarded as a Ming monarch, but he was not ambiguous at all about consolidating his throne.

Song Renzong ordered the Kaifeng Prefecture to prohibit private martial arts competitions. Zhao Yu knew that he couldn't change this matter, but he thought that Song Renzong would not give face to himself and dismiss Bianliang on the sword, although many of those officials took the opportunity to propose this.

Zhao Yu said that the reason why there were so many competitions in Bianliang City was because the gambling house took the opportunity to make money.

Song Renzong was naturally furious and asked Kaifeng Mansion to seize these gambling houses. Although there are many ministers standing behind these gambling houses, the limelight is tight at the moment, and they can only helplessly endure this bad breath.

Zhao Yu is naturally a big chunk in his heart, the Song people are good at gambling, and now Bianliang is in the limelight when the sword is in full swing, and other gambling stalls are careful to behave, so naturally the Song Dynasty gambling has an opportunity. In the round of 72, there are as many as 380,000 bets alone! Now when the Song Dynasty has not reached its peak, the fiscal revenue is about 50 million yuan.

But this is the strength of the country, and the expenditure has not been calculated, Zhao Yu's gambling house is only 72 strong, and it almost has a percentage point of the Song Dynasty's annual financial income.

Of course, these bets can't all fall into Zhao Yu's pants pocket. It's just that if Zhao Yu is lucky, it is not a delusion to win 100,000 yuan.
