Chapter 51

The gambling business, Du Wei basically handed over to Made...... He couldn't help it, although he was laid-back, he was strictly controlled by the lockdown order, and he couldn't leave the castle to inspect his gambling business.

However, Made, the former groom, can be said to have completely changed his current status! Originally, this "chief steward" who was assigned to the territory of the Luo Lin family with the young master who lost power, everyone knew that his identity was that of a former groom. The supreme leader of the family servants here is the old butler, and although Mader, an outsider, has taken on the title of chief steward, he has always been only a bare-bones commander.

Now it's different! He is the chief manager of Young Master Du Wei! He has led the gambling business of the entire Luolin Family Plain and half of the Kote Province!

Now as soon as Made's door is out, almost all the owners of those major casinos have sent people to greet the manager warmly, and no matter where Made's go, there will be a string of people in the gambling industry behind his buttocks.

Just wait, look forward to it, as soon as Master Made's head is happy, something leaks out of his fingers, then, Uncle Made's meat, everyone can drink some soup.

Under Du Wei's instructions, Madeh once pretended to inadvertently reveal the odds of several football matches, and sure enough, the casino owners who gambled on the periphery made a small profit.

Du Wei knows the way of being a man deeply, although the so-called exclusive right nominally allows Du Wei to monopolize this industry, but secretly, after all, there are still a large number of people who follow suit.

Even in the past life, the underground gambling group could not be eradicated.

Du Wei didn't want the hat that guided the Yellow Gambling and Drug Flow, which led the Rollin Plains, to be buckled on his head. Since the blockage can't be blocked, there is only guidance!

Du Wei patted his head and immediately made a decision! Starting today, all gambling businesses in the surrounding cities will be suspended! Du Wei wants to straighten out!

It can be described as "the young master moved his mouth, and Made's leg was broken." ”

Du Wei endured the three-day urgent training for Made, and no matter how much the poor former groom could understand and comprehend, he taught poor Madeh a lot of things anyway.

As for what he didn't understand, Made's could only slowly study and ponder on the road.

First of all, Master Du Wei said that in the future, gambling on football is absolutely not allowed to say "bet"! The young master has come up with a strange thing that can be sold publicly before each ball game, although it is the same result of the game, but the tricks of playing are slightly different.

"From now on, we will no longer be bettors! We will be a merchant selling products! What we sell will be called ...... When he said this, Du Wei's expression was extremely serious, even a little sacred, and after a pause, the young master also added: "In the future, we are not allowed to say 'g......ambling'! Legal gambling!"

As for legal xìng or something, Du Wei made the simplest criterion: 10% of the proceeds of each time should be donated to the local governing body!

All right!

No matter how much Ma De knew, he could only take a carriage and take a few servants to run along the avenues of the Rollin Plains, going back and forth between the nearby towns, ready to buy and sell the "football lottery" that the young master said.

By the way, before leaving, Ma De couldn't help but ask one more question: "Young master, since we plan to open a shop to do business...... So, we have to have a name for our store. ”

"Football lottery center!" Du Wei replied very simply.

So, our Mr. Mad, in the future, expected, is destined to have one more title on his head: the director of the football lottery center!

And the second thing Du Wei confessed to Made...... Du Wei is ready to make a huge adjustment to the current "league"!

It can be said that so far in the league, all the teams and players have come from the 1,000 guards next to the castle. And now, the soldiers' recuperation period is almost over.

If these soldiers were allowed to continue to play football all day long without doing their job and ruined the army's training, then Du Wei feared that the old butler would be about to tell him again in his letter to Dìdū.

So...... Dewey is ready to build a real league!

In the current castle guard army, only the next team is retained. And Du Wei asked Madeh to run a few cities, and he will form a team in each city! Now that the game of football is almost all over the Rollin Plains, it must not be difficult to find a dozen or twenty people who play well in each small city.

After that, teams from each place can start playing according to the league model...... Such an idea made Mada extremely excited!

According to the list made by Du Wei, this so-called league still seems to be very profitable...... First of all, the players of the Roland era, they don't ask for high signing fees and salaries. Most of the players are farmers, craftsmen, carpenters, blacksmiths, miners, and even barbers, and everyone is happy to be able to play football once in a while, and each person is rewarded with one or two gold coins a month, which is enough to make them rush around the game with excitement.

And the expected huge profits from the football lottery are enough to pay the negligible wages of these players.

However, Du Wei did not give up his attempt to extract maximum profits...... He even sent Madea to one of the biggest fur merchants in a nearby city...... The merchant had long supplied the Luo Ling family with all kinds of leather goods.

Du Wei promised that in the future "football league", players in local cities will wear uniform clothes when they play...... Each player's clothes will have the name of the leather merchant's shop written on it!

Considering how popular the game is now, and every time a game is played, the crowd of onlookers will surround the town square...... Such popularity......

The leather owner generously paid Dewey 500 gold coins as the "naming rights" for the coming year.

In this way, the official name of the city's team has become "Football Team of Old Krones Leather Goods Store in Emerald Town, Lorraine Plains"!

Du Wei sold the naming rights of the league's first team in front of Made. Then, the job of the elder Madr is to find a way to sell the naming rights of the twelve teams of the future league to the local wealthy businessmen.

All of these things add up...... Ma De almost began to look at this young master who he had raised since he was a child with almost adoring eyes!

Who said that our young master is an idiot?

Have you ever seen an idiot who can earn tens of thousands of gold coins with just his lips?

Old Mad, who almost broke his leg, ran almost a dozen large and small towns from south to north and from east to west in the Rollin Plains! Twelve teams were finally established, and the naming rights of all twelve teams were finally sold.

As for any of the outlandish names such as "XX Jewelry Shop Team" or "XX Weapons Shop Team", Du Wei ignored them...... He was pleased with the thousands of gold coins that Mader had brought back. Twelve teams, a total of 5,000 gold coins were sold.

"This is only the first year, my dear Made. In the future, when our league is successful, you don't need to run for the naming rights every year, those merchants will come to you with boxes and boxes of gold coins! At that time, thousands of gold coins, I'm afraid I can't even buy the naming rights of a team!" Du Wei looked at the loyal servant who had been running outside for a month, and couldn't help but be a little moved, so he decided to give this loyal servant a little more reward.

"My dear Made...... Are you interested in being the first president of the Lorraine Plains Football Association?"

In this way, in addition to the titles of "Lord Steward" and "Director of the Football Lottery Center", Made's head has another title that sounds amazing: President of the Football Association!

Although he still can't fully understand what this "chairman of the Football Association" is, the young master's attention to himself, Ma De is still very moved, so he gladly accepted the young master's suggestion.

Du Wei was clearly in a good mood.

After all, the five thousand gold coins that Mader brought back were enough for him to solve his urgent needs.

The football league has not yet started, and the income of the football lottery has not yet been shadowed, and the title fee of the five thousand gold coins seems to be the only liquidity in Du Wei's hands.

Damn Ole Gunnar Solskjaer...... The guy burned a few more coins, and there was still no progress.

With the thousands of gold coins that Mader had brought back, Du Wei could breathe a sigh of relief. While he was happy, Du Wei took our FA president to see some of his new inventions.

At the back of the castle, where Du Wei specialized in the development of fireworks, Mader once again gave her young master a look of reverence......

Although, he didn't know what the young master was doing again this time.

The thing in front of me seemed to be a huge basket.

Well, that's right, it's a big basket. It was big enough for three or five people to stand in it, and the rim of the basket was so high that it was waist-high that one stood in it as if one were sitting in an open carriage.

And the above...... A huge spherical object sewn from a dozen cowhides, floating gently on top of the basket!

Yes, that's right, a huge spheroid!

A stove below was desperately baking the balloon, baking the gas in the balloon.

The flames burned brightly, and Du Wei used a little magic in this link...... It was a fire-based magic he had just learned, and Solskjaer had come up with something like an additive that would further enhance the burning effect of gunpowder.

"This thing is called a hot air balloon! Du Wei smiled happily.

This is the result of a month's hard work! Although during this period, nearly 50 high-quality cowhides were damaged...... The hides were bought at a very low price from the first leather merchant who bought the naming rights to the team.

Ignoring Made's blank eyes, Du Wei briefly introduced his new invention.

The former groom, the current head of the football lottery center, the director of the football lottery center, the chairman of the Football Association, Mr. Made, already felt that he was about to faint, he looked at the young master, and stammered: "Young master...... You, you mean, this thing, it can fly? You mean 'fly'? I heard you right?"

"That's right, my dear Made!" Du Wei laughed, "So, now I give you an honor! Come with me to experience the first test flight! This is a moment in history! You are the first human to be able to fly into the sky without the help of any magic or other magical creatures!!"

What happened next was like a dream for old Made!

Du Wei swung his knife to cut the rope tied to the basket, and the huge buoyancy of the hot air balloon slowly brought up the basket below and Du Weimad in the basket!

As the basket leaves the ground little by little, getting higher and higher...... Everyone stopped breathing, not daring to make even the slightest sound, so their eyes widened, and their mouths grew and looked up at Dewey and Made, who were getting taller and taller......

Some people even forgot to wipe it when the saliva came out!

For people who lived in an era when there were no flying machines, this scene was too ...... Shocked!!

It was not until the hot air balloons flew to the height of the top of the castle that the craftsmen on the ground let out a great cheer! Everyone fell to their knees and praised the great god in their most pious voices......

Compared to the cheering people on the ground, Made's legs were now so weak that she couldn't stand!

For the first time in his life, he "flew" into the sky, and his legs were shaking from the ground all the time he left the ground, his face was pale, his eyes were as big as a bull's eye, his teeth were rattling, and his hands were clutching the edge of the basket......

"How's it going, my dear Made......" Du Wei looked at his feet...... The hot air balloon is slowly floating, and from this height, the scenery around the castle, the mountains in the distance, and the forests in the near distance...... Glance!

"Isn't this scene unforgettable......" Du Wei was intoxicated.

"Young Master...... Ma De** swallowed and spat, and asked cautiously, "This...... I don't know what to say anymore...... This, this is simply amazing...... But what I want to ask is...... We're flying so high now...... But how are we going to get down there?"

"......" At this time, Du Wei also changed, he glanced at Made, and then looked strange: "Oops...... I just know how to fly...... But I don't know how to get this thing to land. ”

Made: "Master...... You are truly the most talented person I have ever met............ ％※％×；※......×；（......※”

Dewey: "Made! you've spit on me!"

After being excited, the people below began to look at each other: "Young Master, when are they coming down? It's almost time to have dinner, right?"

At sunset, the hot air balloon floats higher and farther in the infinite sunset......

What a wonderful world, isn't it?
