"You want to inquire about the Song Dynasty?" The old man looked at the survey.

"Yes...... The child wanted to see if it was time to go to business. ”

"Merchant? Hum! Did your friend who was the top county magistrate ask you to inquire? Old Man Si's eyes were like torches: "You dare to bring the incumbent officials of the Song Dynasty to our house, are you not afraid that the imperial court will find a reason, saying that we want to sell the sixteen states of Yanyun with the Song Dynasty?" ”

“…… The child doesn't know what his father says. Si Kan broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don't know what to say? Ste, read it to him. ”

"Yes!" The housekeeper Side took out a piece of paper and read: "Ouyang, a native of Hangzhou New Town, is the champion of Zhenghe for five years. In the same year, the governor of Yangping was dispatched. ...... while in office"

"......" Si Kan was very surprised in his heart, no matter how strong the Si family was, it was impossible to touch every friend of his son.

Old Man Si asked, "Do you know why I feel that his name is familiar?" ”

Si Kan hurriedly said: "I don't know. ”

"This kid is terrible, he led the formation of a Yangping Chamber of Commerce, crushed my money bank in Tokyo, not to mention, and poached my bookkeeper, and my company's family has to close down in Da Song Qian Zhuang as soon as possible. The Yangping Chamber of Commerce is crazy now, and has used all means to collect the reserves, preparing to start from Taiyuan, all the way to the north, and finally open a flying ticket money village in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and do business to my territory, do you think I should find out. ”

Si Kan hurriedly said: "Father, Lord Ou has a kind child, and he is diligent in serving the people, and the people of Yangping have a good reputation......"

"Word of mouth? So how do you come here to open a casino? ”

"This ......," Si Kan gritted his teeth and said, "Please also ask my father to let Master Ou go." ”

"If you want to move, he will move early, don't talk about a Xiao Ganyun, even Li Chuwen, what can he do to me?" Old Man Si said: "That's it, you tell him, it's no problem to ask for news, and come to me when he is done." ”

"Yes!"

"Si Kan!"

"The child is here!"

"Don't think about going around doing business anymore, the world is getting more and more chaotic. I am afraid that more than 100 years of stability after the alliance of the abyss will have to be changed. The Si family has some business on the Jinguo side, so you should keep a snack first. Among my sons, you are not qualified, but you are kind and can endure hardships. If you are willing to intercede for your friend, you can be regarded as a loving and righteous person. Don't let me down. ”

"Yes!"

"Also, let me ask you, who is the victim of this Abyss Alliance?"

"The child doesn't understand, but Lord Ou said that because of the alliance between the Yuanyuan and the trade, it seems that the Song Dynasty suffers a big loss and has to pay the currency every year, but in fact, Liao suffers a loss. Since there were fewer things sold to the Song than the Song Dynasty to Liao, the deficit was too large, and the Liao State gave up the right to mint coinage. From this point of view, the Song dominated the currency of Liao. The Song sold a large amount of porcelain made of clay, but the Liao could only sell cattle, horses, and sheep. The more time passes, the more Liao suffers. ”

"Well said." Old Man Si high-fived and said, "This Ouyang is indeed a true talent. No wonder the momentum of the Yangping Chamber of Commerce is so strong, and in just a few months, it has put out a fund of 10,000 yuan. Now people who want to join the Yangping Chamber of Commerce come from the south to the north, from all walks of life. It's a pity that our family has a big business, but the family management, the concept is outdated, the constraints are layered, the mediocrity and talents are mixed together, and the action depends on the seniority, if you don't take action, I'm afraid that there will be no place to live in the future. ”

"But when the child hears that if he is determined to forge ahead, he will inevitably look forward and backward, advance faster and retreat faster."

"So I just want to see if this Ouyang has the ability to control this fierce horse that has broken off. Otherwise, once the Yangping Chamber of Commerce collapsed a few years later, it would not be alarmist for the Song Dynasty to regress its economy for ten years. ”

"The child understands."

……

On the third day of the casino's opening, the emperor came. The emperor was fooled by Li Chuwen. Xiao Ganyun immediately ordered people to clear the scene, but fortunately, even the prince knew that he was polite to the emperor, and everyone was very cooperative. Emperor Tianzuo looked at the sauna very curiously, and because of his identity, he didn't try it lightly. Then I visited the big roulette, and I was also very interested in poker, but I had an incomparable love for horse racing, and asked Ouyang three or four times how to do this first phase of horse racing.

On the fourth day, this guy quietly brought two guards to touch. Due to the arrival of the emperor, it added a breath to the entertainment city, and the entertainment city is becoming more and more lively day by day. Li Chuwen was very pleased to grant Xiao Ganyun some more land.

……

After more than half a month of deliberation and experimentation, the first official horse racing competition finally began. A total of 7749 fine horses from all over the world participated in the competition. There are seven races of seven horses each. The first place in each game will receive 500 yuan, the second place will be 500 yuan, and the third place will be 500 yuan.

The gambling method is also quite interesting, Ouyang according to the special zone horse gambling style, issued 3T and triple color. The 3T refers to the top 3 horses in the 3rd, 4th and 6th races to be guessed, with a total of 9 horses. The triple lottery is the first three on the spot. Among them, 3T is the most eye-catching, with 10,000 times the odds. Invest one tael of silver, and you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. Of course, Ouyang didn't say that the three T's in the Special Zone are generally hundreds of thousands of times the odds.

Since the horse tickets do not use the audience venue, Ouyang also gritted his teeth and issued them in the surrounding five states for the first time. According to the plan, it can be distributed in the whole Liao in the future. It is known to the outside world: encourage horse breeding, raise horses well. Xiao Ganyun was so busy that he vomited blood, he didn't expect Ouyang to make such a big move, and he couldn't get it at all. However, he didn't complain, and even asked his uncle Wang Ye to come to the soldiers to help, and Leng is issued Linhuang Mansion all over the five states.

On the eve of the horse race, several data reports came up, and Xiao Ganyun almost fainted. The bet amount reached 1 million. Among them, Linhuang Mansion accounts for eighty percent. These people judge the horses from a distance in the racehorses in captivity, believing that they were once nomads and that their knowledge of horses has increased their chances of winning...... In fact, not only them, but Xiao Ganyun also thinks so, he knows that many people are very accurate in watching horses. Ouyang listened to Xiao Ganyun's worries and just smiled and said, he bought two absolutely good horses, and the rider with the highest pressure may fall and slip when the time comes, but he will definitely not take the first place. Xiao Ganyun was relieved.

Is there a buy-in? Of course not. This horse race not only received the attention of the people, but also the imperial court. Emperor Tianzuo encouraged horses to be raised, and horses were raised well. And even Yelu Dashi thinks that the horse racing in the casino is the only highlight. As nomads, their affection for horses is more than just love. Therefore, Emperor Tianzuo, under Ouyang's fanning of the flames, deliberately sent an army of 100 people to isolate all the participating horses and riders to show his justice.

The first official horse race is about to begin, and Emperor Tianzuo will come in person, as well as the princes, generals, and ministers in the city. It also includes powerful people in the prefectures and counties near Linhuang Province. There is no on-site audience ticket for this issue, but Ouyang has set up five temporary points in the city, and the latest news will be reported by Kuaima at any time. There was still half an hour before the start of the first game, and the five-point platform was already crowded with ordinary people, and there was only a narrow road that was forcibly pushed out by the officers and soldiers.
