God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 222 The Wind of Mahjong
In the eyes of everyone, Du He presenting the award to the Supreme Emperor is no different from someone giving Li Er a title, which is absolutely unbearable.

Li Er hurriedly shouted boldly, and was about to rush to the stage to stop Du He.However, applause suddenly erupted from the crowd, and the voices became louder and louder. The audience in front of Li Er suddenly stood up and blocked them.

Immediately there were forbidden soldiers in disguise to push away the crowd, but when Li Eryi looked up, he saw that on the stage, Du He had already put a wreath around Li Yuan's neck, and a huge iron trophy was stuffed into Li Yuan's chest. in the arms.

Du He picked up the loudspeaker and said, "I declare that Li Shuisheng is the Mashen of Chang'an's first Mahjong Tournament!"

Li Yuan was wearing a garland, holding a trophy in his hand, a box of [-] yuan in silver at his feet, a mahjong machine on the left, and two exquisite rotating wooden chairs on the right.The old boy stood on the stage, smiling like a child.

Everyone watched and envied them. At this time, many people felt that the prizes were not important, but the title of Mashen was very rare.

Li Er looked at Li Yuan's cheerful expression, and was instantly filled with self-blame.

For many years, he had never seen Li Yuan showing such a happy smile.

"My son is not filial..."

Li Er waved his hand: "Go back to the palace, leave some people behind to protect the safety of the father!"

With that said, Li Er left with a group of bewildered ministers.

……

The mahjong competition has long since ended, but the enthusiasm for mahjong has never passed.

In just ten days, there were more than 80 mahjong halls in Chang'an City, and the speed is still increasing.

In addition to the imperial city, Chang'an City has more than 100 lifangs. Du He's goal is to have a mahjong parlor of Datang Furniture Factory in every fang. For some lively fangs such as Pingkang Fang, one mahjong parlor is simply not enough.

He roughly calculated that at least more than 200 mahjong parlors are enough.

In order to provide high-quality service, Duhe launched the master competition.

Daily statistics of more than 80 mahjong parlors in the city, the same person will accumulate 1 point for each victory.

Points from 0 to 200 are Black Iron, and every 40 is divided into a rank, which is Black Iron [-], Black Iron [-], and Black Iron [-].

Points from 201 to 500 are Bronze, and every 60 is divided into a rank, which is Bronze [-] to Bronze [-].

Points from 501 to 1000 are silver, and every 100 points is a rank, which is silver one to silver five.

Points from 1001 to 2000 are gold...

Points from 2001 to 5000 are diamonds...

More than 5000 points, as a master.

More than 20000 points, he is Mashen.

Today, the God of Ma is only Li Shuisheng.

However, it is widely spread in the Jianghu that there is actually another rank above the god of numbness, that is, the super god of numbness that ordinary people can't touch at all, and there is only one super god of numbness, that is the county uncle of Huyi.

Legend has it that Du He never looked at the cards when playing cards, and when he tossed them casually, it was a flower on the kong, a self-draw, and a small seven pair.

Because this mahjong was invented by Du He, and Du He could get any card he wanted.

Once the master competition was launched, it caused a sensation, and the business of various mahjong parlors exploded. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of ​​people.

In just a few days, a bronze-ranked player appeared.

All of a sudden, the streets and alleys were talking about the content of the master competition.

"The child of the Erniu family is only 11 years old, and he has already become a Bronze Three. What kind of consultant is invited by the mahjong parlor, and he still has [-] Wen a month, tsk tsk!"

"If it wasn't for my bad brain, I would have gone to participate in the masters competition. You didn't see that Sun Lizi used to walk with a limp, but since he arrived at Bronze One, he walks like a breeze!"

"Shanpao's father has been sick in bed for several years, and once he gets the silver rank, he will be cured of all illnesses!"

……

The mahjong business was promoted and became the most popular and popular entertainment activity in Chang'an City.

But a trouble is quietly approaching Du He.

The third day of June.

In the mahjong hall of Xinghuafang, a middle-aged man played mahjong for three consecutive days and three nights, and died suddenly on the spot.

The ninth day of June.

In Yongle Square, on a mahjong table, an old man and a young man died suddenly at the same time.

For a time, people panic.

In Chang'an City, there are rumors that playing mahjong will kill people everywhere.

The mahjong business is about to suffer a huge impact.

Unexpectedly, on the tenth and eleventh day of the first lunar month, several people died in succession.

At this point, finally set off a storm.

In just two days, the business of the mahjong parlor was hit hard.

Seeing the business decline of this mahjong parlor, the business of mahjong machines and mahjong has also been affected, and many people have changed their colors when talking about mahjong.

It is widely circulated that there are devils in mahjong, and once you play it, you will be haunted by devils.

The rumors became more and more widespread, spreading like a storm.

Hearing this, Du He didn't care. Anyway, mahjong has earned him a lot of money in the past month. At worst, he would close the mahjong parlor and stop the mahjong production line, and then think of other ways to make money.

But the little beauty Li Lizhi is not willing. For the past month, in order to promote the mahjong parlor and make money, as the majestic princess of Changle, she has worked tirelessly from dawn to dusk. The market she finally built collapsed suddenly, and she couldn't stand it.

For a whole day, Li Lizhi shut herself in the room and washed her face with tears.

When Du He heard the news, he hurried to Li Lizhi's room.

But Li Yuanshu was already on the sidelines to comfort her.

Li Lizhi, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, was lying on the table, but she ignored everyone.

Seeing Du He coming, Li Yuanshu shook her head helplessly.

Du He waved his hand: "Yuanshu, take everyone else out, I'll persuade her."

Li Yuanshu knew that Du He had a lot of ideas, so she would definitely find a solution, so she nodded and told everyone to leave the room.

Li Lizhi raised her head and looked at Du He with tears in her eyes: "Du He, I don't want to fail, I don't want mahjong to disappear like this. In order to promote mahjong, we have put in so much effort. In the first Mahjong Tournament, so many mahjong halls were opened, but will they all disappear overnight? I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"

The laying of the mahjong parlor was entirely planned by Li Lizhi, and Du He was basically a hands-off shopkeeper. Now, seeing her hard work suffer a heavy blow, the little beauty was filled with unwillingness, and even a little anger.

Du He said: "In fact, I am also responsible for this matter. At the beginning, I only considered the heat brought by the Masters Competition, but I forgot the harm involved. Otherwise, it would not have caused disaster. I have already asked Zhang Jian to lead people to deal with it." It's gone... Mahjong is gone, and it's time to find a new way to make money, so there's no need to be sad here all day long."

Li Lizhi shook her head resolutely: "No, I will not be defeated. I must find a way to save the mahjong business, otherwise, the furniture factory will lose an important income. I am the second shopkeeper of the furniture factory. This is not allowed to happen.”

The little beauty's face was full of determination, her eyes were full of determination, she clenched her two little pink fists and waved them in the air.

Seeing this, Du He suddenly said: "Okay, let's go together!"
