Chapter 104: Gao Yu Gao Yu
Gao Yu is very envious of Wazi Street and Elysium......
But after all, it was too late to start...... Moreover, who would have thought that the little turtle boy who was still holding his stupid son's thigh would achieve this business in less than a year?
If Wang Hao had come forward to say something when he was making things difficult for Song Wen, it might not be Liang Shicheng who made a fortune behind Wazi Street now, but himself.
Privy Counsellor ...... Coupled with the emperor's trust and cultivation, now Bianliang's Sanya Forbidden Army is equivalent to being held in Gao Yu's hands.
Dredging rivers and ditches, building and building for the powerful to do some hard work, and ploughing and weeding their fields...... With more than 100,000 forbidden troops in his hands, except for those 10,000 who pretend to be faΓ§ades, aren't the remaining stinky Qiu Ba the same as our high slaves? Let them do what they want......
But the money is still too slow!
As soon as the confidant returned home, he came to see him in a hurry. Gao Yu thought that Gao Yanei had caused some trouble this time, you know...... Taking this Yizi, who is not very good at braining, to act mischiefly in the market is also a trick for Gao Yu to protect himself......
Anyway, Lao Tzu is not from the imperial examination, or he is a fortunate minister! Lao Tzu didn't want to get involved in the power of the central minister, so Lao Tzu was loyal to the emperor as a watchdog, and managed the eating, drinking, and sleeping of the Bianliang forbidden army for the emperor...... Anyway, in the war, Tong Guan went to sell his life, and Zhu Mian and those people were responsible for collecting flowers and stones. If he can mix the title of captain again, Gao Yu will already be content.
The rest is to make money!
Gao Yu looked at the drawing suspiciously, frowned and asked, "You mean, Song Wen wants to see me?"
"Back to the master, then Song Wen carefully talked about the entire plan of this gambling house, and the villain felt that it was really appalling...... If it can really be done, I'm afraid that Wazi Street is not an opponent...... That's the real daily money! β
Gao Yu shook his head: "The official family can't talk about it, and the court runs a gambling house...... I'm afraid those civil servants will have to crush me to death with a twist! Even if the imperial court is short of money, it can't be so shameless......"
"Master, then Song Wen made an excuse!"
"Uh, what's the excuse?"
"Charity, do good! Take out part of the proceeds of the gambling house, and directly open a charity hall in Bianliang to help the displaced people, old and young, and then allocate money for disaster relief and emergency relief where there is a famine......"
Gao Yu laughed and said, "Does he still want to play the role of the imperial court?" Disaster relief has its own...... Alas, it is really difficult for the imperial court to get disaster relief money now! Well, let me think about it......"
The companion didn't dare to say more, and quietly retreated. He knew that his master seemed to be a little tempted.
On the evening of the second day, Song Wen's carriage stopped at the side gate of Gao Yu's mansion. An old housekeeper took Song Wen into the mansion with a calm expression, and only glanced at the gift list presented by An Chun next to Song Wen.
"Lord Song, please wait in the side hall, and I'll go back to my master."
"I'm tired."
An Chun looked around, and asked Song Wen in a low voice, "Brother, is the White Tiger Festival Hall you talking about here?"
Song Wen hesitated: "It should be, right?" Lord Gao is for His Majesty to control the Bianliang Forbidden Army, there should be a special place to store tiger talismans or some seals......"
A head suddenly poked out of the door and replied casually: "There is a fart White Tiger Festival Hall...... An Chun, don't listen to his nonsense! β
Song Wen was stunned: "Yanei? What are you doing here? β
Gao Yanei waved his hand to disperse the two servants standing outside the side hall, walked in and said shyly: "Daddy is busy over there, Cai You's guy has been fighting with his immortal father Cai Jing recently, and it seems that he has come to win over his father and him...... Say that with his father's position as a lieutenant, it will be much safer, and the officer will not let them make noise, and leave it to him......"
Song Wen hesitated: "In the future, you will be called Gao Taiwei?" So ...... business?"
Gao Yanei hurriedly said: "Do it!" Of course you have to do it! If you become a lieutenant, you have to do business even more! Otherwise, what does this official deserve? β
Song Wen couldn't cry or laugh, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a low and majestic voice coming from outside the door...... "Evil obstacles...... Still dare to talk nonsense? Get down and go to the incense hall to kneel for an hour! β
"Huh? Daddy, are you free? The child still thinks that Cai You still has to pester you......"
"Two hours! Rabbit cub, Lord Cai is also free to comment at will? β
"Yes, Daddy...... And so the boy goes. β
Gao Yanei disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the ghost knew if he would honestly go to the incense hall to punish him for kneeling, but he knew that this was impossible with his ass......
Song Wen took An Chun and bowed respectfully...... "I've seen Lord Gao!" β
Gao Yu didn't say whether he could take care of himself and walked to the main seat and sat down, and the entourage next to him immediately brought the teacup.
Song Wen slightly looked at this generation of football kings who left history in history......
Looks like he's in his fifties, with a thin body and a bit of a beer belly...... This age is understandable, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and good facial features...... Wait, shouldn't Gao Yu be a thief with a treacherous face? How can he be a decent man and a gentleman!
Song Wen despised the exaggerated nonsense of romance and film and television dramas, who said that the villain really has to be a thief with a treacherous and dirty face?
Gao Yu seemed to be thinking about something, until the official family gently placed the gift list next to Gao Yu's tea cup...... Gao Yu picked it up and took a look, a pair of three hundred taels of silver, and a key to the private room on the second floor of the Elysium Stage...... Well? This kind of wealth is naturally not worth it, but now a box on the Elysium stage is quite rare.
There are less than thirty boxes in total, Liang Shicheng, Cai Jingtong, Zhu Mian, Wang Huang, Yang Jian, these guys alone occupy one, and Gao Yu didn't have his turn when he started late...... As soon as he asked, he said that he had been booked by the emperor's relatives or something.
It's that this little turtle boy has some thoughts...... Gao Yu nodded, waved his hand and said, "Look at the seat, serve tea ......"
Song Wen naturally sat on the chair and said to Gao Yu: "My lord, I take the liberty of disturbing and hope that my lord Haihan ...... The small market background does not know the fancy words of those literati and ink writers, and today I want to use the momentum of adults to promote the small imaginary charity gambling industry......"
Gao Yu narrowed his eyes and raised his hand...... "Wait a minute, charity gambling industry?" Did you come up with this name? β
"Yes."
Gao Yu nodded: "It's easy to talk to someone like you...... The official asked you, all those ideas for horse racing, dog racing and ring races were all come up with by yourself? β
"Yes!"
"Do you know that private gambling is still forbidden in my Song Dynasty, and if you plan such a big scene, how big will the land and house school field be? Where to find such a big place on Bianliang! Also, how are taxes paid? I'll wait for the east to start, in case I lose...... Who pays? β
Song Wen replied: "The lord is in charge of the Bianliang Forbidden Army, not to mention the four large battalions outside the city, there are three small battalions in the outer city alone......
Gao Yu was stunned and said, "What did you say?" You asked the old man to take out the barracks and use it as a gambling house? β
Song Wen smiled and said, "This is not a gambling house, my lord!" Since you want to push out the ring race and horse racing, it is the most reasonable excuse to tie it together with the drill and review of the forbidden army! That's how to build a house, a racetrack, a ring or something...... There are also auditoriums and school reading stands, and no one can say any excuse to attack adults! β
Gao Yuhu was suspicious for a moment, nodded and motioned for Song Wen to continue.
Song Wen took a sip of tea and continued: "Also, my lord invited all the lords in the court to ...... when he was racing horses in the army. It's better to have His Majesty in attendance! Isn't there an autumn parade in the regular forbidden army? This is a good opportunity, and there are also adults who can use soldiers to build these sites directly. β
"When the time comes, the adults will pull a few civil officials and military generals out in front of His Majesty to gamble, and then take out all the gambling funds and silver to help the people affected by the disaster in Hebei......"
Then the lord took the opportunity to mention in front of His Majesty whether this horse race could be included as part of the training of the forbidden army's martial arts exercises, and even this gambling horse race should be retained...... First, it can make the soldiers and generals more proficient in horsemanship, and second, a part of the funds from gambling fights will be donated to the imperial court for charity and disaster relief......"
"When the time is ripe, my lord will immediately quietly inform Your Majesty that this charitable gambling may be profitable...... It was taken over directly by the inner court, and the adults went out of the territory and the forbidden army to maintain the orderly operation of the horse farm, and after seeing the dividends...... The adults and the hidden Liangs will consider whether to add gambling businesses such as ring fighting and cockfighting and lackeys! β
"The flag of charity must definitely be flagged, don't those scholars and literati like to spray feces and scold people the most? Throw money, take out a sum of money every year to fund the poor scholars, repair the good hall, and repair it near Taixue and Yushitai! β
"My lord, this is a small estimate of the potential size of the Bianliang gaming industry...... Look, 100,000 taels ...... It's just a piece of cake! If this charity gambling is really bigger, the ten Wazi streets are not opponents......"
"To be a bookmaker is to take everything left and right, in addition to one-on-one special betting, how to determine the odds of a ten-horse horse race is the banker's final say...... What pai gow dice and the like, we don't have any charity betting! If you want to do it, you will do the best gambling game in the world......"
"And this keju...... Did you like it when you were young? The small one has made some changes to the rules of Keju, so that it is more suitable for the two teams to chase and fight...... There aren't so many dazzling show-offs, and the winner wins! Bet on the winner or loser, bet on how many goals you score......"
"And ...... And ......"
Before you know it, it's dark! Gao Yu's eyes radiated a faint green light like a wolf...... Talent! What is Talent? This is the biggest talent!
Liang Shicheng's old thing is full of conspiracy, where can he understand the huge prospects planned by this little turtle prince! Lao Tzu Gao Yu is struggling in the market, and he can best understand the inner meaning of gambling in these casinos...... Amazing, this kid has set up a big set?
Bet on horses, bet on balls, bet on the ring! And polo...... Dog racing and dog fighting can be used as a side dish mixed in to make a fortune!
Gao Yu secretly opened two gambling houses in Bianliang, he knew too well the mentality of gamblers and the profits of gambling houses...... So when Song Wen categorically said that he would draw out a dividend of 500,000 yuan a year, Gao Yu was not only not shocked to be stunned, but asked a question that Song Wen was surprised by!
"I'm afraid it's more than 500,000, right?"
