Chapter 99: The Leader
"I was born without forgetting my parents, and I didn't forget my guide when I was rich."
"On the road of growth, from not knowing to knowing, a lot of time can not be done on your own, it is a great luck to meet a good teacher, a good word, pointing out the essence, can make people have an epiphany, Brother Yuwen, you understand what I mean."
Yu Wenhua didn't understand what Yang Guang meant, why did he just come to Yang Guang and suddenly started to say these things.
Wang Yi on the side quietly whispered two sentences in Yu Wenhua's ear, and Yu Wenhua suddenly realized that King Jin and Tang Guogong were going to open meat.
"Your Highness, you just got married......"
"Don't get me wrong, we are going to the field, simply for the construction of Daxing City, the stakes are very high, if the construction of Daxing City is not good, not only the father will blame, but also for the people of the whole Dasui is a loss, you can't ignore the big self for the sake of the small self, I have always been a person with dedication."
Yu Wenhua nodded: "Your Highness is right, then why don't you both change your clothes, change into ordinary clothes and add some cover-up?" ”
The two glanced at each other, and Yang Guang said: "Brother Yuwen is right, Brother Yuwen is still experienced, the two of us are not here to hide people's eyes, but just to observe the situation more practically, cousin, you are right." ”
"Your Highness...... Take it easy. ”
Yang Guang is like a blogger on the short video platform at this time, specially marked [normal dressing, no bad guidance], and there are no three hundred and twenty-five taels of silver here.
After changing into a costume and adding a little beard, although it can't hide the childish face, in general, people who are not particularly familiar with it should not be recognizable.
"Your Highness, where to go first?"
"Let's go to the racetrack."
"The racetrack and the polo field are together, go."
Wang Yi and the others followed the carriage, and for the sake of safety, they still brought a few of the best guards in the house, plus Yu Wenhua and this big master, without revealing their identities, it should be enough.
There are many places in Chang'an City, and the racecourse is located outside the city because of the large place where it is needed.
In ancient times, the entertainment facilities were limited, so horse racing is one of the most important ones, polo is a sports activity derived from horse racing, polo is mainly playing, and horse racing is mainly betting.
Horse racing has been an activity since ancient times, just like the well-known Tianji horse racing, using high-class horses, medium-class horses, and the story of JDG tells us the importance of arranging troops to play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses.
When I came to the vicinity of the racecourse, I saw a loud crowd.
The crowd gathered around the arena, shouting and cheering in high spirits. The whole venue was extremely gorgeously decorated, with colorful flags fluttering and continuous applause.
Yang Guang and the three walked to the side, and Yu Wenhua took them to the VIP viewing place, where they could have a panoramic view of the entire racecourse.
Six horses were racing, each carrying a piece of cloth of a different color to distinguish them, and the people on the side were talking and talking loudly, they were dressed in fashionable clothes, with all kinds of tiaras and ornaments, and among them, there were quite a few Hu people, all bettors, who were shouting wildly.
Food, clothing, lust, and lust, this group of people have money and time, they need some channels to release their energy, and the adrenaline rush can bring spiritual happiness.
Yang Guang looked at the situation at the racecourse, this thing is the racing car of this era, speed can always give people excitement, this has been the case throughout the ages, and it is also the most common gambling activity.
Yang Guang carefully observed the surroundings, the facilities of the racecourse are actually very simple, the wooden railing encloses a circular field, and the viewing experience of the surrounding people is not good.
Yang Guang said to Li Yuan: "Cousin, look at this viewing area is flat, the audience in the back row has to be high enough to see, so the experience is very poor, when you design the racecourse, you have to slowly raise the back row position, so that the back row can be seen more clearly with the help of the terrain advantage, although the main income of the racecourse is to watch the race by aristocrats, ordinary people are just a plus, but the more lively it is, the more fun everyone has." ”
Li Yuan nodded and wrote down this matter, Yang Guang's opinions were always so pertinent.
"Racetracks and polo games are similar, so is it the same for polo games?"
"Of course, and you also have to pay special attention to the VIP area, these people have strong spending power, and they must use luxury style and exquisite service to let them spend their money."
After Yang Guang said this, Li Yuan already had a general idea in his heart, but asked curiously: "Your Highness, why do you leave other casinos to others, but you want to keep the polo game and the racecourse to the imperial court?" ”
"These two things, there will be great use in the future, called sports betting, this thing is still the most reassuring in your hands, and I will explain in detail after Changle Fang makes it, it is not necessary now."
Yang Guang said to Yu Wenhua: "Brother Yuwen, let's go to the next place." ”
The racetrack was just outside the city, so we had to switch locations again, this time to the casino.
The behavior of the casino is not explicitly prohibited in the Great Sui, and there is no explicit prohibition not to prohibit, Queen Dugu does not like this atmosphere, but this trend has been very popular since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the dignitaries also like it, if you want to ban it aggressively, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble, so this industry is now like a little girl who pushes and half-pushes.
The atmosphere here is wild and depressing, people's faces are full of uneasiness and excitement, the feeling of winning or losing is on the line, making people's emotional experience ups and downs stimulate everyone's hearts, coupled with dim lighting, the casino is filled with a mysterious and evil atmosphere, gamblers are bouncing around like vagabonds, always looking forward to the arrival of good luck.
But good fortune never favors fools, and the stupidest of them put all their chips on the table, hoping for the verdict of fate.
Fate is never just.
The atmosphere here is much more crazy than the racecourse, and there are people's shouts everywhere, but Yang Guang turned around and saw the projects that everyone played, the projects of this era are more scarce than the projects on the New Year's card table in their village, and the dice are mainly shaken, and the space for the game is small, Yang Guang feels that if he can invent the quintessence of mahjong, it is estimated that it will be very popular.
People love the process of the game, and the essence of mahjong is to create an orderly deck of cards on a chaotic table, and this feeling of being in control between luck and strategy is delightful.
"Cousin, how do you feel?"
"It's a bit cluttered, it's already the most upscale casino in town, but it's uncomfortable."
Yu Wenhua and said: "That's true, all some people will hold some gambling games on a regular basis in the house, invite three or five friends, and have a game between drinking and having fun. ”
It is impossible for dignitaries and nobles to immerse themselves in this every day, and these low-end places cannot fully meet their needs, so Yang Guang said to Li Yuan: "Cousin, so when the construction planning of Changlefang Casino, we must also separate the high-end and low-end areas, and we will issue three licenses, which can distinguish the three places into medium, high and low grades to meet the needs of different people." ”
Li Yuan nodded.
The three of them were about to leave, and it was already evening, but before leaving, the three were stopped at the door of the casino.
A fierce and vicious person stood in front of the three of them: "What are you, I have been observing you for a long time, you have been walking around in my casino, not betting or participating, just going around in circles here, who are you?!" ”
Facing the fierce and vicious people, Yu Wenhua took the first step in front of Yang Guang, and several guards surrounded Yang Guang: "Get out of the way, while I'm not angry." ”
Compared to the momentum, this group of gangsters in charge of the field is not enough to see in front of Yu Wenhua and the gangsters who were very domineering just now when they saw the posture of Yu Wenhua and a few people, and they didn't dare to move for a while.
And the commotion made the people around him look over, and the people watching the field were also difficult to ride, he couldn't just coax it, after all, he had to establish his prestige, otherwise the troublemakers in the field would not take him seriously, but the few people in front of him seemed to be unable to offend.
Judging from the other party's dress, it is not a rich appearance, and the drum beat in his heart.
Yang Guang didn't want to cause trouble, and it was no good for people to see it, so he gave Yu Wenhua a look, and Yu Wenhua shouted: "Get out." ”
The people watching the scene could only get out of the way first, and several guards walked out around Yang Guang.
"Big brother, it's good that you didn't stop people just now, the people in the casino just now said that the one who led the way was the son of the Baoguo family."
The people watching the scene were stunned all of a sudden, and their hearts were palpitating, I wiped it, and almost offended the big guys, and what kind of identity does it have to be to make Yu Wenhua and the people who protect him like this.
Yang Guang and the others experienced a small twist and turn, and then went to the most lively place in Chang'an City at night.
On the carriage, Yang Guang said to Li Yuan: "Cousin, Changle Fang will be the most prosperous place, but also the most complicated place, if you don't manage it well, there will definitely be problems, I want to build a yamen in it, specifically to manage these merchants in Changle Fang, all those who enter Changle Fang are not allowed to bring in weapons, all the guards must report in this yamen, and those who appear outside the rules and regulations will be severely punished, including the group of people who watched the field before." ”
"Your Highness, what do you need me to do?"
"The things in those darkest corners, we can't reach out, secretly help me cultivate a gang, just start in the Changle room, I need someone to help me deal with these things."
Li Yuan fell into deep thought, but immediately nodded, indicating that he took over this matter, this kind of thing hidden in the shadows, Yang Guang let him do it, which means that he has become his most honored and trusted person, this is a heavy burden, and it is also a sword hanging over his head.
Soon the three of them came to the most lively green building, called [Cloud Cliff Pavilion].
"The place behind the Cloud Cliff Pavilion is the pear orchard."
Liyuan is a place name, folk singing and selling art spontaneously concentrated here, and so on in later generations Xuanzong selected three hundred children to sit in the department, teaching in Liyuan, since then Liyuan has become a symbol of quyi, now here is just a gathering place.
Yang Guanggang got out of the car, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be disappointed.
"It's not lively enough."
"Your Highness, this is already the liveliest place."
Yang Guangman said nonchalantly: "Do you know what kind of feeling is the best for people in this kind of place?" ”
"What does it feel like?"
"At that time, I was young and thin. Riding a horse leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves. ”
