In the past few days, Xu Ming has been thinking about where to go, and the newsboy has brought him back to the real world.

Peanuts and persimmons have long been eaten, and the cloth bag is treasured and stored in the cabinet; usually plays against others, whether it is old or young, bold, or meticulous, Xu Ming likes them very much; Even the girl who served him, the boss of Little Red Head (1), and the policeman on duty, Xu Ming felt an indescribable closeness and love.

The green cangs of Baishan, the water and sky of Chaohu Lake, the simplicity of Zhongmiao, and the beautiful scenery of the hometown, like the sunset, are close to dusk.

Waiting for July 7, three years later, Wanping's gunfire will bring all the beauty of China into darkness.

Xie Qianli saw Xu Ming sullenly, "Does Qianli want to start a family, I know a friend surnamed Gu, who is the principal of the high school, and the daughter of the family looks like jade, and the tutor is also very good, do you want the elder brother to help you run errands." ”

Xu Ming replied: "I came back from studying in the United States this year, and foreign countries are so prosperous, people have cars for travel, electric lights for daily life, and can enjoy democratic rights politically, but our country, the country has not been able to complete real reunification."

When they saw how solemnly he spoke, they fell silent.

"The Japanese are now advancing step by step, and sooner or later there will be a decisive battle with them, and I don't know what kind of world China is in the 10th generation."

Xu Ming clenched his fists and became even more excited: "918 Zhang Hanqing didn't let go of a single shot, and gave away millions of lands and 30 million people; The 129 Incident, China's most prosperous metropolis, our army could not be stationed; Beiping and Tianjin, historical cities and important military towns, are under the military siege of the enemy; Nanjing, the capital, was pointed at the throat by warships of Little Japan".

"I also frequently send spies to spy on our military intelligence, cultivate traitors, and make surrender speeches, I am now the so-called first national player of Go in the Republic of China, what's the fun"!

Xu Ming's long compilation of this discussion, everyone was frozen, he took out 3 more booklets from his arms, and said firmly: "I, Xu Ming, decided to leave the chess world and go to the anti-Japanese army.

"Qianli, if you join the army, I can find someone, but at most I can be a company commander and battalion deputy, or a civilian staff officer in the regiment, I'm afraid I won't be able to exert much strength," Xie Qianli put forward his opinion.

"I intend to build a force to fight against Japan."

"It may have worked 10 years ago, when the warlords were fighting, and now the central government is unified, who will set it up for you? Besides, your own troops' weapons and equipment, military expenses and salaries, where do you come from", Zhang Qian felt incredible.

"I've thought about all this, I've inquired, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi have security regiments that can be obtained, it may cost some money, as for other equipment and military salaries, let's see at that time." Xu Ming already has a preliminary plan.

"Hunan and Sichuan are full of bandits, and Jiangxi is even more terrible, the Red Army there is not even easy to deal with the Central Army, and your security regiment has encountered that scum, you think about it carefully, but if you really want to make up your mind, I will take out 10,000 oceans to sponsor you"! Xie Qianli expressed his position at that time.

Xu Ming waved his hand: "How can you have so much financial resources to support the army, I already have an idea in terms of money." ”

When he arrived in the inner room, facing a few trustworthy people, Xu Ming looked around at everyone: "Do you know gambling and balls?" Macau casinos have already set odds for this World Cup. ”

Xu Ming popularized the basic knowledge of gambling and ball, but looking at everyone's demeanor, he knew that they didn't believe that they could make a fortune by gambling.

"Ten bets and nine losses, I don't understand what you mean by the odds, but I think whether it is a bet on the winner or a bet on the score, I am afraid that there is no guarantee of winning, I see that the last is a good dealer." Xie Qianli tried to dispel Xu Ming's absurd thoughts.

Xu Ming absolutely agrees with this, no matter what form of gambling, the ultimate winner is the dealer, but as a traveler and fan, he is very familiar with the results of the World Cup, so he began to cheer them up: "My understanding of football is more than Go, please rest assured, I will win this bet and the ball, please support me." Xu Ming is very confident.

During this time, Xu Ming did his best to teach chess, did not hide his selfishness, and his attitude towards others was humble and polite regardless of the level, and he did not put on a master's shelf at all, and there were no bad habits in life, no smoking, no drinking, no gambling and no prostitution, if it was a little unaccustomed to Xu Ming's very kind to his subordinates, and sometimes he lost his identity in their eyes, but Zhang Qian had taught at the university, and praised this, thinking that Xu Ming must have received a good higher education in the United States, and the idea of equality and fraternity has been deeply rooted in the bones. Now everyone has a kind of pathological belief in Xu Ming, although some people still don't know whether football is square or round.

Xie Qianli first took out 5,000 oceans as gambling money, and the others were either 1,000 or 800, and they saved enough 10,000 silver dollars in a while.

The next day, Zhang Qian found another middleman, who was responsible for the round-trip trip to Macau, accommodation and food and casino handover, and Xu Ming also added an additional 2 points of winning bonus as an incentive.

At the end of May, Xu Ming led the Hefei gambling, the ball army went south from Guangzhou to Macau, when Italy's first battle against the United States had begun, but Xu Ming did not bet, in his memory, Italy won a big victory, sure enough, the odds of Daxing casino opened at 1.03, put 10,000 yuan in full, and the winning income was only 300, Xu Ming was also worried that his little butterfly stirred the storm of the Italian World Cup, in case of losing money, he was not without shame to see Jiangdong's father.

During the day, the crowd visited the Mazu Temple, the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Central Fort, and at night, they wandered around the night view of Macao, tasted the special food of Chaoshan, and felt the convergence and integration of Chinese classical culture and Western civilization during the Republic of China. Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't go to Macao, you don't know China's backwardness." He looked around at everyone again and said firmly: "In our future motherland, the people enjoy all kinds of democratic rights, and their behavior is protected by law; Prostitution, tobacco houses, and gambling are under control, and the state is able to vigorously develop educational, sports, and cultural undertakings; We have recovered all concessions and abolished all kinds of unequal treaties; Diplomacy is neither humble nor arrogant, military is not persecuted, powerful warships defend territorial waters, thousands of planes in the sky escort the air, the army is no longer the private armed forces of warlords, they are the armed forces of the country, this is not only my ideal, but the goal that every Chinese strives for. Zhang Qian also sighed: "The Republic of China has been established for more than 10 years, Mr. Zhongshan's ideals have still not been realized, the nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood have not been successful, and the era of China's prosperity and strength, I don't know what year it will take to wait!" ”。

Xie Qianli is obviously an optimist: "China 10 years ago was much better than the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now China is much better than the Beiyang warlord era 10 years ago. ”

Xu Mingxin said that 10 years later, China is still fighting the war, but it is really like Xie Qianli said, after the victory of the war of resistance, China became one of the four major international powers, all unequal treaties were abolished, and China after liberation was basically able to be independent. However, these can't be said clearly, and he laughed at the moment: "We are now using despicable gambling methods to accomplish the noble goal of salvation, if Mr. Zhongshan and the martyrs of Huanghuagang underground knew that we were doing this, would they be angry and scold us underground." ”、

Everyone laughed together, Zhang Qian used to be a counselor in Duan Qirui's mansion, and he was well-informed: "How can revolutionaries be so noble, when Mr. Zhongshan raised funds, he and the gangsters collected protection money in Japanese brothels, pretended to be Americans in foreign countries, and lied overseas Chinese that they would raise funds to return to China to open mines, and then use the money to make a revolution." ”

In fact, the collection of protection fees was a slanderous remark of the Beiyang warlords in those years, but it is true that he was sponsored by Japanese friends, and it is not false to say that the donation for the revolution is to go back to China to open mines.

In the past few days, Xu Ming listened to Zhang Qian and Xie Qianli tell the story of the Republic of China, and admired his extensive knowledge and erudition very much, Xie Qianli and others also admired Xu Ming's ideals of knowledge, and unconsciously, the time had come on May 27, Spain defeated Brazil 3-1.

It is a small unpopular, Xu Ming only invested 1000 oceans, and the income reached 1700, and the others were very happy to see the victory, of course, the happiest thing was the middleman with a yellow mouth and yellow teeth and a yellow face wearing a yellow dress and surnamed Huang, Xu Ming had called him Wuhuang in his heart, and he was even more wrenched with his fingers to calculate the commission of these 2 points.

Then there was almost a joke, Italy and Spain actually drew in the semi-finals, Xu Ming's 2000 ocean was lost, this is because Xu Ming remembered wrongly, thinking that Italy was the final champion, and the opponents on the way must have all been defeated, but I didn't expect that there was no overtime and penalty shootout, the only consolation is that the odds of this ball are too low, Xu Ming only bet on 2000, which is a great luck in misfortune.

The Czech Republic defeated Switzerland, Austria defeated Hungary, and Germany eliminated Sweden, and in the end, the original 10,000 silver dollars have become 20,000.

June 3, Czech Republic vs. Germany. All parties unanimously thought that Germany had an advantage, and the odds were also 3.7, Xu Ming was ruthless, left the passage money, and bet all his property on the Czech Republic.

When the Czech Republic defeated Germany 3:1 to enter the final, Xu Ming and other gamblers also got a bumper harvest.

There was also a small episode during the period, Mr. Wu Huang saw that these people were victorious, and he also saved 2,000 yuan to bet on the Czech Republic together, but he thought about it for half the night, and always didn't dare to fight, and the next morning he actually asked for the money that had been put in, but fortunately, he cooperated with Daxing Casino for a long time, and there was no shortage of 2,000 yuan, so he returned his money. When the Czech Republic won, everyone was elated, only Wuhuang was alone in the room first slapped himself 2 big mouths, then hit his head against the wall, kicked the bed, smashed the teacup and scolded his mother, the next day the hotel found that the room was a mess, a negotiation, Wuhuang lost 20 yuan.

The final was held on June 7, Italy finally won the championship, and Xu Ming and others also made a fortune, excluding the rake and other expenses, and got 114,000 oceans. After the withdrawal and deposit were completed, a group of gamblers began to nest in the hotel room to share the spoils.

"Mr. Huang, according to the original agreement and commission, you should share 2200, but Mr. Huang has done your best during this time, whether it is the itinerary or the docking of the casino in all aspects, we are very grateful and appreciative, so we decided to pay Mr. Huang 4000.

The five yellow mouths can't be closed, of course, Xu Ming is not only because of the above reasons, the fact is that considering that after all, Huang Huaiyi was found by Xie Qianli and Zhang Qian, this guy is still a local snake in Hefei, and there will inevitably be many things for him to help in the future.

"I plan to distribute the others like this: I will take 50,000 yuan for the white wolf with empty gloves, and the others will each share 6 times the principal," Xu Ming felt that this distribution was more fair.

"I said that 10,000 yuan was for you to make the capital, we didn't plan to ask for it, did you charge us for the chess game?" , Xie Qianli jumped out first to object.

"I didn't plan to pay back this money if I lost it at the beginning, but now I'm embarrassed to only give you half of it, besides, I won't dare to ask the old brothers for money next time." Xu Ming desperately found a reason.

"You think we are bad, I am optimistic about your little brother, in the future, we will calculate our principal and interest together when you are developed, and now I want to give you a beautiful beauty!" , Zhang Qian found another reason.

"No, you must collect 60,000, okay, I'll take a step back, 50,000, no less, I will have to raise money from others in the future, you can't ruin my reputation!"

"We are determined to make the biggest concession, 10,000, we will take back the principal, the food, accommodation and play here are already yours, this matter is so decided, they are all happy people, and it is not disgusting to calculate for this money." Xie Qianli seems to have given an ultimatum.

The five yellow eyes are straight, uncles, young masters, you don't like money, I like it, you don't want me, the sky, the earth, why don't you open your eyes, let these bastards who don't know how money is good have so much money!! Wuhuang has already left his grief and anger, and his good impression of Xu Ming has also turned into nothingness.

After some fierce bargaining and difficult negotiations, in the end, the sponsors of Hefei Gambling and Ball Corps each made double the dividends, and Xu Ming alone accounted for 90,000 yuan!

After the distribution of the spoils, everyone was very excited, and everyone began to calculate what 100,000 yuan of ocean could do.

"If each person eats one chicken a day, and one piece of ocean countryside can harvest six, then 600,000 chickens can be eaten by us for 180 years! ―Zhang Qian

"It costs 500 to marry a daughter-in-law, only 50 in the countryside, I can marry 2000, so many people can form a division, one moment in a cow shape, and a moment in a B shape! ―Xu Ming

"Exchange these coins for copper coins, there are 18 million, one by one can go around Chaohu Lake twice, stacked up to 70 miles high, Xu Ming didn't expect Xie Qianli's mathematics to be so good.

"One dollar can buy 60 eggs, and the eggs bought by 100,000 oceans can fill the whole pond after they are broken, and we can row from left to right and from right to left every day. Tired, floating on top of the egg pool, hungry, eat a mouthful of egg yolk, thirsty, drink a mouthful of egg white.
