Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 321

Liu Bing was praying at the door of the imperial study room, when he suddenly heard a "squeak", he looked up and saw the door of the imperial study room was opened, and Gao Ming walked out from inside with a smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, he hastily greeted him.

"His Royal Highness, are you alright?"

"nonsense!"

As soon as Liu Bing finished speaking, Gao Ming gave him an annoyed look.

"Do you look like I have something to do? Go, let someone prepare wine and food, and I will have a drink with my old man later."

"what?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized and nodded happily.

"Okay, okay, this old slave is going, this old slave is going..."

While talking, Liu Bing trotted out of the yard.

At this time Li Shimin also came out of the house, seeing Liu Bing trotting away, he immediately shook his head with a smile.

"Liu Bing, you've been saying good things about you in front of me recently, and I don't know if he's taking any favors from you."

Hearing Li Shimin's joking words, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders.

"It's not good. It's not like you don't know. What I've always paid attention to is convincing people with virtue."

"Do you think I will believe you?"

"Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believed!"

"..."

If it was normal, Li Shimin would usually feel helpless for Gao Ming's nonsense, but at this time he was in the right mood, so even though he knew Gao Ming was nonsense, the smile on his face still did not fade.

Soon, Liu Bing brought a group of maids to serve the dishes. After the dishes were ready, Li Shimin and Gao Ming began to drink and eat meat, feasting on them.

While eating, Li Shimin smiled at Gao Ming.

"Gao Ming, you gave me the Royal Club this time, don't you feel distressed?"

"A little!"

Gao Ming raised his wine glass and took a sip, then smacked his lips.

"But now that you have the income from the rugby game, it's okay to lose the income from the Royal Club."

"Oh?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

"I know your rugby league can still make money, but does it make more money than the Royal Club?"

From Li Shimin's point of view, the Royal Club gathered nobles, officials, and wealthy businessmen, and it can be said that it included the richest people in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, there is no place in the entire Tang Dynasty that can make more money than the Royal Club.

But now, according to Gao Ming, what kind of rugby league is more profitable than the Royal Club, how is this possible?

But Li Shimin also knows that Gao Ming has always been a person who does not suffer. Since he can give himself the royal clubhouse, then he must already have a way to make more money. Thinking of this, he immediately cast a puzzled look at Gao Ming .

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Gao Ming laughed again.

"The Royal Club is the elite line, the rugby league is the mass line."

Having said that, Gao Ming counted for Li Shimin with his fingers.

"Old man, look, although the guests of this royal club spend tens of pennies in the clubhouse every day, they are few in number, only two to three thousand pennies a day, and although the people who come to watch the rugby game only spend a few pennies each money, but there are so many of them!"

Hearing Gao Ming's explanation, Li Shimin frowned again.

"Gao Ming, I already know the tickets for your game. The first floor is five coins, the second floor is thirty coins, and the third floor is one hundred coins. It’s the least, according to this, earning a thousand guan a day is not bad, right?”

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming nodded with a smile.

"Yes, and if there are not many people going, you can't earn a thousand guan. There were a lot of people going to this game this morning, but the ticket price is only about [-] guan. I hold two games a day, and it's also a thousand dollars a day. Two hundred strings."

"Then you still give me the Royal Club?"

In Li Shimin's view, Gao Ming should give him the benefit of the rugby game, instead of giving him the hen that lays golden eggs, the Royal Club.

Seeing Li Shimin's puzzled expression, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.

"Grandpa, rugby makes money not only from tickets, but also from other places, such as influence, which is an intangible asset, but these are things in the future. What is in front of us now is the gaming industry!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up again when he heard a new term popped out of Gao Ming's mouth.

"The gaming industry? What's that?"

"To put it bluntly, it is the gambling industry!"

Having said that, Gao Ming once again had a smile on his face.

"I have sent people to investigate. There are hundreds of gambling houses in Chang'an City and Jingzhao Mansion, and the daily income of each gambling house is between tens to hundreds of dollars. That is to say, all of these gambling houses Get up, the daily income is tens of thousands of guan!"

"hiss……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately gasped.

"Is there so much?"

"Of course there is!"

When he said this, Gao Ming's face was already serious.

"And I also found out that the Li family of Zhao County is behind the Chang'an City Gambling House and the Green Building, and the Li family of Xingyang is behind the Jingzhao Mansion. The gambling house can be said to support these two big families. Suppress them from above."

Li Shimin has been looking for opportunities to suppress the powerful families, and now when he heard that Gao Ming planned to suppress them in the gambling industry, he also showed seriousness.

"What are you going to do? Do you need me to do anything?"

The implication of Li Shimin's words is that he intends to cooperate with Gao Ming.

Of course Gao Ming understood what Li Shimin meant, but he smiled and shook his head.

"No, I have already handed over this matter to the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Besides, this matter is very simple. It is nothing more than setting up a few handicaps so that the people can bet on which team will win. There should be many people If they choose to gamble instead of going to the casino, they will naturally make less money."

After listening to Gao Ming's explanation, Li Shimin nodded.

"It turns out that even if you can get [-]% of the income from it, it will be more than the royal club. However, if you do this, there will be many more people who impeach you than those in the court. Think about it What's the matter?"

"No, and there is no need!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming shook his head decisively.

"Many people have impeached me, but it's useless. At worst, I'll let the news out another day. If anyone dares to impeach me, I'll have someone throw shit on his door!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's extended chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately realized that they were eating, so he immediately cupped his hands towards Li Shimin with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, old man, I forgot that we were still eating. I shouldn't be talking about shit, pee, etc., but it's okay, I'm full. Go ahead, eat what you want..."

"..."
