Bet?

This proposal immediately won the absolute support of most of the soldiers!

As a soldier, there is really no entertainment in the barracks, and the occasional repair and vacation is just a group of people going out of the barracks to drink some wine in nearby towns, or contribute the military pay to those jì women.

And, of course, there's another popular activity, gambling!

This football game made by Master Du Wei has made everyone feel very happy...... And such an enjoyable game can also be used for gambling!

The eyes of many officers lit up! And many of the guys who were eliminated in the first round, who were originally sullen, couldn't help but smile!

This Young Master Du Wei ...... It's so fucking fun! I know so much about us soldiers!!

The cheers of the crowd made Robert, who was originally going to speak out to stop him, hesitated, he glanced at Du Wei, sighed, and finally stopped talking.

Not a big deal anyway...... Moreover, it is now the repair period, and it is normal for the soldiers to gamble money, so don't care.

When it comes to gambling, Du Wei has a lot of ideas!

A simple bet to win or lose? What is that?

Du Wei immediately put out the routine he had come up with!

Simply lose, win! After refinement, win a few, lose a few! and even bet on who will score! score a few! and when!

You can even bet on whether anyone will be sent off...... Will there be a penalty, etc.!

And then there's the complicated ...... How many are lost for one, and one is lost for several ......

These complex number games are not understood by soldiers and officers, Du Wei explained simply, everyone felt that there was a chance and interesting, so they immediately went back to withdraw the money.

Du Wei, on the other hand, smiled happily.

He is a person who has gone through a complete system of mathematics education in his previous life, and this kind of number game is probably not understood by few people in this world. Here, I am afraid that even the simplest four operations may not be able to be done by a few scholars.

Du Wei, on the other hand, can calculate and balance the numbers, plus limit the amount of some bets, and then list the matching ratios...... It doesn't matter who wins or loses in the end......

Du Wei, who is a banker, is sure to make money!

I have to say that the treatment of these private soldiers of the Luo Lin family is quite good! Most of the soldiers can have one or two gold coins in their hands to spare money, while those officers have more money in their hands, and they can still throw out three or five gold coins at will.

What's more, Du Wei caught up with a good time! After the chūn season cāo performance, the army had just paid its salaries!

Most of these soldiers don't know how to watch the win or loss of the game, and everyone just bets according to their own inner preferences: for example, it is better to have personal relations with those people, or to see who is more unpleasant, etc......

One afternoon, the second round was over.

The busiest were the clerks in the barracks, who were quickly calculating bets and winnings.

And Du Wei, after seeing the result, was already smiling.

In the second round, ten games, most of the soldiers who bet on them lost money, and a few lucky ones won some and ended up in Du Wei's pocket...... Six hundred gold coins!

Among them, the most losers were the rich officers.

This result made Du Wei very satisfied!

There was also a small episode in the last game he watched, and the two sides fought fiercely to the end, which was different from Du Wei's previous guess...... After all, football is round! Even if Du Wei made a prediction, he could not be so accurate. If the result of this game is different from what Du Wei expected, then Du Wei may have to make a lot less money.

Fortunately, before the game ended, someone saved Du Wei!

The team that Du Wei predicted the victory was given a frontcourt free request, and a cavalry warrior walked up and actually kicked a beautiful curling ball!

After the game, Du Wei personally summoned the hero who scored the goal...... He saved Du Wei's money bag!

This young man was from Robert's cavalry, a handsome young man with blond hair, with a sturdy build, and he looked very jīng god on the mountain.

"What's your name?" asked Du Wei.

"Dear young master, my name is David...... His full name is David Beckham!" The young man was a little shy and a little nervous.

Du Wei: "...... ％×￥...... ％％......※％......※”

Patting the money bag, the day's game is over. After the second round, there are only ten teams left. The ten teams were immediately greeted with heroic cheers, and every player was tired, but everyone was full of high spirits. If it weren't for the fact that the sun was about to go down, these lads would probably have no problem playing two more games.

But then, because there are only ten teams left...... How to play the following game?

If there is a single elimination...... Ten teams, if you fight two by two, there will be five left in the end! And five teams are an odd number, but you can't fight two by two! There will be one team with a bye without an opponent!

Du Wei, who had been premeditated for a long time, laughed very slyly!

"There's a way! Since the knockout system doesn't work...... Just use the league format!"

What is the league format?

Du Wei quickly explained the league system, that is, each team has to play against all opponents! Win points for three points, draw for one point, and lose for no points!

After all the matches are played, the winner with the most points is the winner.

Du Wei's premeditation was despicable......

The more games you play, the more bets you can make!

"I have to say...... You are really mean. In the evening, on the third-floor terrace of the small building, Seymel looked at Du Wei with complicated eyes: "How did you come up with such an idea?"

Du Wei shook his head: "Well, I can't say this." ”

"Don't think I can't see it. Semel stared at Du Wei: "I have calculated the odds of those you got several times! I found that in the end, no matter what, you, as a bookmaker, have a great chance of winning...... How did you calculate it? These odds, the bookmaker, these rules, so complicated, did you come up with them?"

Du Wei simply didn't even want to explain, he closed his eyes and began to meditate......

Of course, to a large extent, I don't want to see this Semel gone...... This woman, why does she like to sit on the railing so much and dangle her long legs?

Belch...... Although her legs are indeed beautiful......

This night, Du Wei still did not feel any of the so-called "power of the stars".

But after a night of meditation, coupled with the mantra that Semel told Du Wei during meditation, Du Wei was pleased to find that his jīng divine power had taken another step!

If that's the case, even if you can't learn any star magic, you will gain a lot just by allowing jīng's divine power to grow like this!

Du Wei could clearly feel that his jīng divine power was becoming more and more pure...... This so-called "jīng pure" is really difficult to describe in words. It's clearer in all the details......

Such as sight, hearing, smell, etc. Originally, when he was meditating, Du Wei could hear the sound of the wind in the sky, but now, under the influence of the divine power of Jīng, Du Wei could not only hear the sound of the wind, but he even felt that he could judge the direction of the wind by virtue of the sound of the wind!

This is a more detailed feeling, and the capture of jīng's divine power is becoming more and more detailed, and it seems that every detail is becoming clearer and clearer...... This feeling is very comfortable.

On the third day, the first football league of the Rollin family led by Du Wei began.

Of course, Du Wei knew that he could not fish with all his might, and he also knew that if only a thousand soldiers in the barracks participated in the gambling game, how much could he bet on? After all, the soldiers were not rich, and their salaries were limited. If the excessive exploitation of soldiers' salaries, then Du Wei also felt that he was too despicable.

Therefore, Du Wei felt that if he wanted to continue to make a lot of money...... The only way to do this is to increase the range of the game!

After a day of discussion with the officers of the barracks, in the end the two sides made a certain compromise.

On this day, Mader was instructed to go to a nearby town and put up a series of posters.

In a small city not far from the castle, Du Wei used the connections of the Rollin family to ask the city's consuls to borrow the square for a day.

Made, with two groups of soldiers, came to the city that day...... A football exhibition match was played.

The three-day football exhibition match immediately made the people of the city love this sport.

And then, almost repeated, everything that happened in the barracks. Du Wei simply moved the league field in the barracks to the city.

This also avoids the fact that the cāo arena in the barracks is always occupied, which affects the normal training of the soldiers.

In Semel's opinion, this clever clone immediately revealed Du Wei's intentions: "You can't bear to win those soldiers' money again, for fear of provoking a mutiny, right?"

After moving the soccer league to the city, it didn't take long for this novel sport to attract quite a large audience, and even some children began to enjoy the game......

Then, at the behest of Du Wei, Mader led people to start a gambling game before the daily game!

"I was the first person in the world to invent football...... He is also the head of the earliest gambling group. Du Wei commented on himself.

Mean or noble. Seven or eight days later, Du Wei received tens of thousands of gold coins!

There are still a lot of rich people in the city, and some wealthy merchants also find this way of gambling much more interesting than those casinos. The bets they throw out are often in the tens or even hundreds of gold coins!

And the news that Ma De brought back made Du Wei a little speechless.

First of all, some people are starting to follow suit!

This kind of sport quickly spread to the surrounding cities, and some places have begun to play this game, and even some casinos have begun to organize teams to play this game as a gambling game to attract customers.

And the second ...... What made Du Wei sigh even more was ...... Someone tried to control the game! Someone tried to buy their own soldiers and players to release water in the game! Some casinos started to engage in some off-the-market gambling games!

Dare to steal business with Young Master Du Wei?

How can the money in Du Wei's pocket be touched by others?

What's more, Du Wei just relied on this kind of thing to make some emergency funds, and he didn't want to prosper the gambling industry in disguise. I don't want to make gambling in the Rollin family's territory rampant because of this incident.

So, Du Wei quickly came up with a solution!

Two days later, in some of the popular soccer towns in the Rollin family's territory, an announcement appeared:

Exclusivity!

Within the territory of the Rollin family! Therefore, no one is allowed to play football games! The right to operate belongs to the inventor of this game, and Young Master Du Wei owns it alone!

Anyone who dares to gamble without permission will be severely cracked down by the local government and taxation!

This decree was officially issued by the ruling officials of the surrounding towns!

As for this so-called exclusivity, is it in accordance with the laws of the Empire?

Joke!

This is the territory of the Luo Lin family! The officials are all taking the salaries paid by the Luo Lin family! The young master of the Luo Lin family has spoken, how can the people below not do it?

In this way, Du Wei brazenly embarked on the road of "monopoly"!

•；

With money in his pocket, Du Wei was much more generous. He first took out three thousand gold coins, and once gave them to a thousand soldiers in the barracks.

As compensation for the money they won before, as well as the physical cost of playing football.

This move was immediately cheered and embraced by the officers and men of the castle's guardian barracks, although the football game that the young master had made was indeed very fun. But such a game has emptied everyone's pockets in disguise, and it is still easy to cause criticism among some soldiers, and of course some people are secretly dissatisfied.

And now, looking at the golden coins that were handed out...... Everyone was satisfied. Most of the soldiers have returned all the money they lost in the early stage.

For the rest, Du Wei left a thousand gold coins as liquidity, most of which were smashed on the magic laboratory......

By the way, magic experiments are really an extremely expensive thing! Du Wei has already deeply realized it...... Ole Gunnar Solskjaer offers to buy some materials every two days, and these things are not only consumed quickly, but they are not cheap!

In just ten days, Du Wei has thrown nearly 5,000 gold coins into it, but Solskjaer has not made any new progress.

What is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer working on?

He now has two tasks on his hands. First of all, a certain amount of "fire element" is quantitatively extracted every day, which is what Du Wei called gunpowder.

Second, Solskjaer is working on an approach. Try to overcome the difficulties that you can't improve your magic skills.

Once upon a time, Solskjaer could use the magic elements he had created, opportunistically using some low-level magic. However, due to the limited power of sensitivity, it is always impossible to use more advanced magic. And now, he has another whim......

And this whimsy really made Du Wei feel ...... If it does, then it's worth it even if you empty your pockets for it!
