"This, it's not convenient, is it?" Wei Juan said embarrassedly. {3.
Wei Youqu said: "What's inconvenient, it's rare for us outsiders to come to Chang'an City once, and it will take a few days to buy some souvenirs, so you don't have to rush to return us with the money first." ”
Wei Wan nodded, and only by mutual name did they know that the four and a half children in front of him were actually the crown princes of the vassal country.
I wanted to return the money and was afraid of revealing my identity, so I was embarrassed to take sixty gold and quickly bought three binoculars, silently hating Tian Wei, who was playing with binoculars in the distance, and secretly scolded this bastard for only playing with himself, and didn't care about the four gods around him, and almost played him to death.
There are people peddling telescopes at various sales points in the field, ordinary telescopes of slightly worse quality only need hardware, and then the worse ones are only 10,000 yuan, people with a little assets are thinking about buying one, this thing is also an heirloom treasure to buy home, maybe it can be sold at a sky-high price after a few decades, there is an endless stream of people who buy telescopes, and the heart of the comparison can not stop the car together, you take a little I make up some to buy a telescope There are also a lot of people.
Buying melons, fruits, pears and peaches, selling iced drinking mash (mash), as well as dried fruits and preserved meat candied fruit in an endless stream, the nobles of Chang'an City have never seen such an interesting scene, millions of people buy food and drink in rows and wait to watch the game.
The three princes and nine kings had just appeased the little ancestors in the family, and when they raised their heads, they couldn't cry or laugh. couldn't help but smile and said: "Shaofu has got into the eyes of money, and at this point, there is still a little bit of money and he doesn't let go, it's ridiculous!" ”
A young man shouting through a loudspeaker. Standing in front of each stand, he made a hoarse commentary: "Now it's the No. 226 Spitfire Meteor!" This is a pure blood Hun horse, the rider is a retired knight of the Northern Army, superb riding experience. ”
"Next up is Black Beast 227! The name is mighty and domineering, and the mount is also extraordinary, this is a horse from the Longxi Plateau, an altitude of 1,400 zhang above sea level, where the strongest horses are abundant. The rider was an excellent Northern Army cavalry captain Li Kang, and his father was Li Guang, the flying general of the Li clan in Longxi. ”
The ministers were stunned by the detailed description on a piece of paper, and the yellow color of the paper indicated that it was just the worst quality bamboo paper. The pungent smell of inferior ink is not very pleasant, and a thin piece of paper actually costs 1 penny, and the muscles at the corners of the mouths of the Shangqing, who have just been bleeding, twitched slightly, and secretly scolded Cao Shi is really crazy.
Woowoo......
The race is about to begin!
The ministers looked at the field in surprise. At some point, hundreds of horses poured out of the fence. The sturdy horses galloped wildly, their long manes flying, and under the spur of the rider, they shot out like arrows off the string.
Tens of millions of people in the stands stood up in unison, and couldn't help but shout and cheer for their favorite horses, and the shouts and screams of millions of people made the old people's blood boil.
The faster the horses ran, the more intense the cheering.
"Bet! I buy two hundred and three! Five hundred dollars! ”
"I'm betting too! I bought one hundred and sixteen, two hundred dollars! ”
"I'll buy two hundred and twenty-seven! Ten thousand dollars! ”
The sound of betting came and went, and on the surface, Hanting explicitly prohibited gambling, but the implementation effect was not very good. People have a good gambling nature, and gambling is a kind of risk speculation. In the face of unknown jungles, ferocious jackals, and hordes of enemies, the ancient ancestors would choose to gamble and fight for a chance to survive.
When the ancestors got rid of the threat of death and no longer needed gambling to decide the next life and death, the nature of gambling has long been rooted in instinct, and when predicting risks, they will involuntarily judge the gambling nature of individuals, and come up with their respective choices of gambling or not gambling.
To this day, up to the palace down to the people have already had a countermeasure, you don't let the gambling, I will change the way to gamble, gambling games such as gambling are prevalent inside and outside Chang'an, even the emperor and the queen will occasionally play, the ban on gambling is a formality, as long as it is not too much, it should never be born.
Horse racing betting is precisely excessive gambling.
Tingwei Niu jumped up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Dare to gather crowds to gamble!" Do you regard the laws of the Han family as if they were unmistakable? ”
The crowd who were betting in the VIP area was slightly stunned, Niu Yu's face was very raw and the Kanto accent was very strong, if it weren't for the fact that he knew the roots, he would never have thought that his identity was one of the Jiuqing, and there were many people in Chang'an City who had never seen the new Tingwei, and they were very dissatisfied with the strange old man who danced up with a Qi accent.
"This old man sat down to rest first, we also inquired about the situation, the horse race guess is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people of Shaofu, the internal guarantee no matter whether you win or lose, Tong Su is not bullied, Shaofu sits in the village and wins the money luckily will be used to build a new project, our Chang'an City is indispensable to the hard work of the craftsmen and people of Shaofu, we invest some money to win are happy, lose the right to support Shaofu to build Chang'an City, a good thing that is beneficial and harmless, why not?"
"Who will oversee? Who's up to say? What if there is favoritism? ”
"Humph! I said how to jump, it turned out to be a person who picks thorns and says cool things, aren't there still Tingwei who dare to cheat for personal gain? The great punishment is to serve, do we ordinary people still need to teach this? The dignified Lieutenant is always much smarter than you, so I said you should say a few words and rest. ”
The rich businessmen laughed and continued to bet and pay, not throwing a micro-service holiday Niu Arrive at all, Ting Wei was angry like a grumpy wild boar jumping straight to his feet and roaring, if it weren't for the Shangqing next to him, Niu Dai would pick up his arm and give the flamboyant businessman a fist, and the dignified Jiuqing beat people in public, and spread out that the career and reputation of this life are over.
The three princes and nine qings who traveled in micro-service looked embarrassed, saying that Niu was a person who didn't know how to lift, but it was the faces of the secretaries.
Who would have thought that the small racecourse would have such a scene, more than a million people gathered together to wave their flags and shout, and both men and women and children in Guanzhong showed great enthusiasm for horse racing, and copper coins were scattered as if they didn't want money. Isn't it a huge success to spend money all day?
Shangqing, who laughed at Shaofu's bad brain, couldn't wait to dig a pit and get underground.
A few die-hards had dark faces. Niu Resist clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe that he can do a good horse race, I don't believe it!" I don't believe it if I die! ”
"I don't believe it either! Cao Shi will definitely fail, he must get out of Chang'an in a gray way, he can't move if he doesn't take our position, he can't move if he doesn't take the position of the Marquis Shangqing, he must go! Let's go! ”
"Everyone, be relieved. I think this is the dying counterattack of Pingyang Hou Cao, we must not mess up the position first to give him a chance to turn around, as long as we wait patiently, the victory will belong to us sooner or later. ”
One by one, the honorable ministers nodded with a blushing face. Gritting their teeth, they watched the horses run around in circles as if they were being tortured, and they wanted to watch Cao Shi fail and suffer a huge defeat!
Tian Wei shrank his head and didn't dare to speak throughout the whole process, and the racecourse may be Cao Shi's dying counterattack. Or maybe it's a well-prepared fatal blow. No matter which one it is, it is definitely not something that these three princes and nine ministers can afford.
"There is more than enough success and more failure, I have to be careful of falling into the mud, unable to extricate myself and finish with them." Tian Wei thought that he had withdrawn early to avoid harming the pond fish.
found an opportunity to claim to go to the toilet, coaxed his tigress and half-grown son out of the seat together, and the silent cat leaned closer to the seat of his relatives.
The furious Shangqing didn't realize that there was one missing, they were busy cursing Cao Shi and accidentally fell half to death, and the position of the Shaofu was vacated for them, and the lord Du Wei was looking forward to the Jiuqing throne and was about to go crazy.
The lord and the slave had words in their mouths. It was as if he was playing a witchcraft to aversion to victory, perhaps he had really been deceived by the illusion of impending victory.
"One hundred and sixteen! Fast! Run! ”
"Come on the thirty-three! Hurry up! ”
"No. 262 catches up one more place. Finish in the top 30! Well done, I'm optimistic about you! ”
"My twenty-seventh is a good dish! Why did you fall behind, run faster! If you slow down, you'll die. ”
Wei Youqu clenched his fists and shouted, the four of them each bought a few bets for betting, each bet 1o million yuan to 2o million yuan, anyway, their expenses were reimbursed by their father, and the money spent was not distressed.
Wei Juan sat on the side and felt unbearable, and frequently glanced sideways at the four rich second generations scattering gold.
The old prime minister finally went on a trip in micro-service, but owed these boys a debt of sixty gold, and wanted to remind a few words to pay attention to the impact but couldn't say it, after all, the cannibalistic means are soft on people, and what's even funnier is that Wei Juan and Wei Youqu have the same surname Wei, and the ancestors may be blood relatives of a clan, but Wei Juan doesn't want to continue the relationship that can't be beaten by eight poles.
In fact, he didn't have to work so hard, more than ten years ago by virtue of military merits and grace won the feudal mausoleum, even if it is just a small marquis of only 800 households, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and the size is also a meritorious marquis, his son Wei Xin has been taking care of things and managing the land for a long time in the Hou country, and more than 200 hectares of fertile land in the Jianling Hou country are the main economic income of the Wei Juan family, and the other part comes from the taxes of the Hou State.
The son married the daughter of the Hou family in Guannei, and gave birth to two daughters as soon as he entered the door, and he was pregnant this year to give birth to a third child, the medical worker and the midwife all said that this time eighty percent was a man, Wei Juan and his wife especially loved the only son, so they handed over the land property of the Hou State to their son to take care of, and only collected the annual tax of the closed household as a household, and usually relied on him as the prime minister's 42oo Shi Yulu to eat, and it was inevitable to usher in the delivery in such a big city as Chang'an, and the Prime Minister's Mansion could not be too shabby, and a little decorating the door face was generous, The abundant money seems to be beyond his means.
The daughter's family is in Chang'an City, eating and living with the old couple, the son-in-law has been working for ten years and is just a petty official with a rank of 600 stones, the daughter does not do anything at home, and gives birth to a son, a daughter and two children, and the life of a few people is a little stretched.
The horse race was running fast, and Wei Juan's heart was very uncomfortable.
This kind of discomfort is not as crazy as the superiors, and what makes him unbearable is the feeling of suffocation.
As far as the eye could see, the racecourse was crowded with millions of people, and the red-faced wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants waved their gold bags and shouted, and the shouts made him worried.
Wei Juan and Sangong Jiuqing went out to visit the racecourse in micro-service, didn't they just want to see Cao Shi's jokes, watch him cry bitterly like a mourner, and watch him be kicked out of Chang'an City by the angry Son of Heaven.
But whose joke is it now? Who's the joke?
He suddenly felt that he was the joke, and every time he thought of the young face with mockery on the corner of his mouth. Wei Juan's heart seemed to be stabbed harder than an awl.
Cao Shi's every move went straight to the point, and he never dragged the mud and water when he beat the Dou family several times, and every time the Dou family was beaten to death or alive, there was nothing he could do. This time, the Empress Dowager personally came forward to instruct the three princes and nine secretaries to cooperate, and it was necessary to let Shaofu Cao Shi get out of Chang'an City, the current situation not only did not get out of Chang'an's hope, but the position became more and more stable, which was extremely terrifying!
"This kid is scheming, and he has already dug a pit and waited for those old bureaucrats."
Ding Gong held a telescope in his hand and faced the royal area on the top floor. The next layer of the aristocratic district patrolled back and forth, and quietly thought to himself.
In a drastic change outside the Weiyang Palace, Cao Shi, who was isolated and helpless, stood up from the crisis of no one to help. The success of the racecourse in bringing back the treacherous situation in Chang'an City not only shows that he does have great wisdom, but also shows that he has unparalleled foresight in long-term planning.
"But no matter how strong his personal intelligence is, his edges and corners are too sharp and too powerful. Sooner or later, it will be out of the control of the Son of Heaven. This guy is very interesting! ”
Ding Gong glanced at the hidden disciple and sat in the corner to watch the play with peace of mind.
A once-in-a-lifetime political competition drama is in front of you, and if you don't appreciate it, you won't let down the actors' hard work.
"Today's race was so exciting, the two-lap 16-mile race was only halfway through, the top 10 horses changed dozens of times, the top 10 was dazzling, and the rise and fall was only a few breaths and a few blinks of an eye. The competition was so intense! I didn't expect horse racing to be played like this, it's so much fun! ”
"Our investment is very correct. I just said that there is no endless road, Shaofu will never sit idly by and watch us be completely finished, the investment in this business will definitely be worth it, and the capital we lost will soon be able to turn back. ”
"I lost six billion dollars, how young do you think I can earn back?"
"You still have more than 2 billion dollars, as long as you operate it properly, it will take five or seven years to do it quickly, and you can pay back more than ten years if it is slow."
"Are you true or false? I know the horse racing business is good, but don't fool me! ”
Zhuo Wangsun snorted and looked displeased, he is also a wealthy businessman who is almost sixty years old, he has seen more things in business for forty-five years, and the prospects of a business can be seen with his eyes, he has only two investment failures in his life, the first is that he was deceived by the Linqiong County Order and the liar Sima Xiangru, and the second is the defeat and loss of this pod money battle.
The first time was that he underestimated Sima Xiangru, the second time was when he underestimated Shaofu Cao, and twice underestimated Zhuo Wangsun to bring a painful lesson, as the saying goes, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and now he would never dare to underestimate anyone.
"It's all to blame that we were carried away by interests at the beginning, and we had to squeeze into the open and secret battles between the princes and relatives, and acted as cannon fodder for the Dou family in vain, and lost some money and goods to pay tuition fees to learn a lesson. Our chamber of commerce will not be spared! ”
The wealthy businessmen nodded with affection, they were stupid and provoked the people who couldn't be messed with, but they were not killed but pulled a hand at the critical moment, and gave a big deal to operate, helping the wealthy businessmen to survive the harsh winter of lack of funds.
"The requirements of the Shaofu to them is to try to create momentum and create public opinion, and they must also let the three princes and nine ministers lose a lot, the servants I sent are staring at several hostile Shaofu Shangqing for twelve hours a day, their every move can't escape my ears and eyes, for the sake of this business to win a big victory, I have hollowed out all my family funds and smashed them in, this investment must not be lost again!"
"Yes! We must not fail again! King Zhuo muttered,
The horse ran for a lap and a half, and the fierce competition that was originally fought for by you gradually opened up into a straight line.
The shouting spectators shouted hoarse throats for their betting horses, and the young men and women were red-faced and red-eared, and many of them were hoarse and did not notice it.
"Come on! Two hundred and twenty-seven! Come on! Liu Che waved his fist and muttered quietly.
Chen Ajiao glanced at him: "Come on one hundred and eighty-two!" Brother Che'er wants to help the concubine shout together. ”
"No. 182 is too slow to run, No. 227 has already reached the top ten, it's still mine."
"No! Look at how beautiful the whole body of No. 182 is pure white! It must be one hundred and eighty-two to win! ”
The princess of the pavilion Tao has a gloomy face like water, her daughter Chen Ajiao is obsessed with horse racing, and her son Chen Chan is also cheering and shouting, looking at more than 100 royal families, except for her and her mother Dou Yifang, who are cheering and shouting.
Liu Yan roared angrily: "Pingyang Hou Cao Shi! What should you be guilty of conniving at the people to gamble and violating the Han law? ”
The royal family was stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that the princess of the pavilion Tao would suddenly open fire, the emperor and his wife who were cheering were also stunned, and the Son of Heaven was also cheering, you said that violating the Han law would not slap the Son of Heaven in the face.
"Guantao, sit down for me."
"Queen Mother, don't worry, I really can't bear Pingyang Hou's arrogance, why can you do something that violates the Han law! Could it be that the laws of the Han family are a dead letter? "The princess of the pavilion Tao is full of energy, she has endured it for so long and didn't dare to do it, just to let out a bad breath at this moment, seeing that the great opportunity is in front of her, she can't wait.
Everyone's eyes looked at the young man who was sitting quietly, and saw Cao Shi pull the corners of his mouth and smile slightly: "I forgive you for your rude behavior, please follow the Empress Dowager's decree and sit down, I will treat it as if nothing happened just now." ”
"It's ridiculous! I see what else you can do! ”
Princess Liu Wan of Yangxin wanted to speak, but she was pressed by the Queen Mother Wang Wan and couldn't move, and the royal family looked at it together, all wanting to see how it ended.
"I forgave you one more time."
The princess of the pavilion Tao shouted angrily: "I can't stop talking! Who do you forgive? I am the daughter of the first emperor, the eldest princess of the princes and kings, what are you? ”
"I suddenly don't want to forgive you, Your Royal Highness the Noble Pavilion Chief, and your precious son Longshu Hou Chen Chan, and the same noble Empress Chen Ajiao, are you ready to meet my wrath?" Cao Shi stood up slowly, the last gentle smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, and his ruthless eyes pierced Liu Yan's heart like a knife.
Like a silent war letter, are you ready for a full-scale war between the Cao family and the Chen family? (To be continued!)
