Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 588

Zhang's racecourse opened on the first day, and it also imitated the player's racecourse and issued many free horse coupons.

The people of Chengdu Mansion like to join in the fun, and naturally they can't wait to see the excitement when they hear that the new racecourse is open.

However, everyone was a little disappointed when they saw the Zhang family's racetrack. Compared with the player's racecourse, it was too simple.

Although the Zhang family obtained the license of the racetrack, they never understood one thing, that is, horse racing is actually a service industry.

You must know that those gambling holy places in later generations are all the top service industry holy places that have been rolled out in the world, whether it is software or hardware services, they are all top-notch.

Although the entire Zhang family's racecourse is a copy of the player's racecourse, the level of service is much worse.

The betting boys recruited by the Zhang family wanted to point their nostrils at the sky. When they got busy, they couldn't remember what everyone was going to bet, and sometimes they even made a wrong bet.

It's fine if the service is not good, and the environment of the entire racecourse can be said to be quite bad.

The stands of the racecourse haven't been built yet, so everyone can only huddle on the edge of the racecourse to watch the horse race.

However, the people of the Zhang family were very happy. As long as the racecourse was opened, it would be a golden chicken that lays eggs, and it would not worry about money.

Zhang Bin also sneaked back from the front line, but at this time he was wearing a black hooded suit, hiding in the crowd and watching the people who came to join in the fun. Soon the first horse race would start.

At this time, the clerk at the door shouted: "Ms. Hu is here!"

Everyone immediately looked at the door. This lady of the Hu family is Yang Zhen'er, a legendary figure in the entire Chengdu Mansion.

It is said that the entire plan of the racetrack was proposed by the wife of the Hu family, and Hu Yu was only the one who carried it out.

Moreover, apart from running the racetrack, this lady of the Hu family also sponsored many businesses in Chengdu. Although scholars often criticize the racecourse, when it comes to this lady of the Hu family, they will always say "a strange woman".

Now, the newspaper with the largest circulation in Chengdu Prefecture is also sponsored by Mrs. Hu's family. The main page of this newspaper is the news of the racecourse, but some important local news will also be published in other pages.

By soliciting manuscripts from local scholars, many scholars can also get manuscript fees from newspapers, and Yang Zhener also relied on this to win over scholars in central Sichuan.

After all, it is to make money by writing articles, which is quite a good income for many poor scholars.

As for whether this newspaper is run by the racecourse, the readers who contributed the article will not think deeply.

Hearing that the biggest competitor was coming, Zhang Bin ordered his nephew to greet him, and welcomed Yang Zhen'er to the racetrack.

Yang Zhen'er was wearing a set of gorgeous Shu brocade, which made her even more glamorous and charming, and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw her.

The players who came along with Yang Zhener were also wearing gorgeous clothes, and looked rich and powerful. Yang Zhener said to the Zhang family's children who were accompanying him, "I want to bet, but I don't know if I can?"

Zhang Bin's nephew quickly said: "Ms. Hu's family wants to bet, and our racetrack naturally welcomes it."

Yang Zhen'er looked at the racetrack and said, "I'll bet on the number 8 horse, [-] yuan."

After Yang Zhen'er finished speaking, everyone around exclaimed.

Even if you are guarding the cornucopia of the racetrack, one hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount. Yang Zhen'er actually put out one hundred thousand dollars to bet. Many ordinary people with quick brains got the news and called for the servants one after another. Bet along.

"I want to bet on horse number 8 too!"

"Bet all on horse number 8!"

"Horse No. 8!"

The square in front of the racetrack was not big, and the news that Yang Zhen'er had paid a lot of money to bet on the No. 8 horse spread quickly.

Everyone looked at Yang Zhen'er, wondering if Yang Zhen'er knew something inside, and started placing bets.

Zhang Bin's nephew was sweating from his forehead. The No. [-] horse was indeed a seed runner in this batch of horse races. He was the champion in the previous trials, but how did Yang Zhen'er know the news? Came here to make a heavy bet.

You must know that if Yang Zhen'er really wins, the racecourse will have to pay a lot of money.

The player who accompanied Yang Zhen'er brought a box, opened the box, and inside was a string of money, which made the Zhang family tremble.

It seems that Yang Zhener came prepared this time!

But when the racecourse is open, others must take the bets, otherwise the reputation of the racecourse will be lost.

Several young men in charge of placing bets stepped forward, quickly counted the [-] yuan, and then issued a horse racing ticket to Yang Zhen'er face to face.

After Yang Zhen'er placed her bet, she sat down on the chair arranged by Zhang's family and just looked at the racetrack with a smile.

With the betting over, the first horse race at the Zhangjia Racecourse began.

I only saw the sound of an elite whip, and a row of fine horses rushed out. These were all high-quality horses collected by the Zhang family. The Zhang family was a high-ranking officer of the Xichuan Army, so it was not difficult to get some high-quality horses.

Some of these horses were military horses before, and they were all brought to the racetrack by Zhang's family. Among them, the No. 8 horse was Zhang Bin's favorite horse in the army.

When it started to run, No. 8 horse took the lead, directly leading No. 2 by one body, and quickly rushed to the front of the whole team.

The common people who followed Yang Zhener to place bets became excited. Could it be that Yang Zhener really knew the inside story?Know that the No. 8 horse is a good batch of horses that can win?

Isn't this free money?Those who followed the bet shouted "No. 8, No. 8" one after another!
Horse No. 8, who rushed to the front, suddenly became the focus of the audience.

The members of the Zhang family couldn't sit still anymore. Zhang Bin called the accountant in charge of statistics. When he knew that Yang Zhen'er had bet a total of 8 yuan on the No. 30 horse, he couldn't sit still anymore. up.

If the No. 8 horse really wins, the Zhang family will lose millions of dollars at once. This is not a small sum!

One must know that in order to obtain the license of the racetrack, the Zhang family has already emptied the family property, and this million is not a small sum for the Zhang family.

When the Zhang family was very anxious, suddenly the No. 8 horse stumbled and hit a stone in the racecourse.

The No. 8 horse knelt down directly on the ground, throwing all the riders on it, and the whole racetrack was in chaos.

Everyone looked at Yang Zhener who had placed a heavy bet, only to see Yang Zhener's expressionless face, but those who followed Yang Zhener's bet quit.

There were stones on the racetrack that should have been flat, and the No. 8 horse who was leading the horse just hit the stone and quit the race.

The horses behind quickly caught up, and finally the No. 2 horse won the victory.

For such a result, it is hard not to raise doubts in the hearts of the common people who followed Yang Zhener to bet.

You must know that since the player's racecourse started the race, no horse has quit the race because of hitting a rock. It is hard not to feel that Zhang's racecourse is obstructing it.

So these common people who bet on the No. 8 horse held up their coupons and shouted:
"Refund!"

"Shady! Shady!"

The members of the Zhang family were obviously relieved, now they don't have to lose a lot of money in the first match.

However, horse No. 8 does not look good, and nine out of ten horses with a broken front hoof will not live long.

Yang Zhen'er lost [-] yuan at once, but her face didn't change at all, but she looked at the racetrack with a smile.

But Yang Zhen'er didn't make a fuss, and those people who followed Yang Zhen'er to bet heavily started to make a fuss. Many people saw that Yang Zhen'er was so determined, so they bet all their net worth.

And in the first half of the whole race, the No. 8 horse was far ahead, but encountered such a thing as hitting a rock.

Everyone threw away their invalid horse tickets one after another, and left the racetrack angrily.

Yang Zhen'er sat at the racetrack for a while, and left with others, and the next day, a fierce article was published in the horse racing newspaper at the player's racecourse.

This is not an article on the front page of the horse racing newspaper, but an article in the contribution area. The content of this article directly points to the first race at the Zhangjia Racecourse yesterday, and the incident of the No. 8 horse hitting a rock is condemned as a shady scene at the Zhangjia Racecourse .

The article also said that if such an accident happened at Hu's racecourse, the race would be invalidated and the tickets would be refunded to the punters.

The article also found some insider information from the Hu family. For example, the groom who was in charge of raising the racehorses got information that the No. 8 horse won the No.1 in several trials before the racetrack opened.

The circulation of the horse racing newspaper in Chengdu is not small. Even people who don't pay attention to horse racing will subscribe to a horse racing newspaper to read news from other pages.

This article immediately went out of the circle and became the most hotly discussed news among Chengdu people.

Especially those who lost money in the first horse race, felt the resonance after reading this article, and began to reprimand the shady Zhang Family Racecourse in the streets and alleys.

This matter was originally unclear. Although the Zhang family wanted to refute the rumors, there were too many people who followed Yang Zhener to bet and lost money that time. These people lost money and found a reason. getting bigger.

Immediately afterwards, someone actually announced at the gate of the racetrack that the Zhang family's racecourse was a black shop, and these people were naturally driven out by the Zhang family.

Now all the streets and alleys in Chengdu Mansion are talking about the Zhang family's black shop. The news of the shady scene in the first game, now the Zhang family can't argue with it. There is no way to prove their innocence in this matter.

As public opinion fermented, the Zhang family was reluctant to bet, and deliberately spread the news that the seed horse broke its leg throughout the city, and the Zhang family's racetrack soon became empty.
