Villager of Daming

Chapter 1073: It’s hard to avoid gambling

Everyone ate meat skewers and drank beer. The beer we were drinking now was brewed in Taiyuan Prefecture, and Beiping Prefecture was brewing it. After finishing the Taiyuan Prefecture beer, the Beiping Prefecture beer will be brewed.

The songs are still good to listen to, the dances are still pleasing to the eye, and the officials are focusing on trying to memorize.

They knew that His Highness King Qin and Ling'er from Xiaqiu Village would not repeat the same thing a second time. If something went wrong, they and others would be punished.

"Bring paper and pen, everyone has a sad face."

Zhu Ming looked at the officials and felt that his mood was affected by eating and drinking. Why did he have to memorize it by force?
The Four Treasures of the Study were brought over, and a group of people started writing. Only when someone failed to remember a certain part clearly did they complement each other with their companions.

The house manager in Xiashan Village took a pen and looked up at the sky after writing two words. There were stars in the sky. It was a sunny day, the kind of sunshine that even artificial rainfall could not bring down.

"Fourth brother, write it!" Fang Dashan said to his cousin.

"I don't know how to speak. What the girl said earlier was unclear to the clouds and mountains."

Fang Dachuan had a troubled look on his face. He was illiterate and struggled to read notices. Just after listening to Ling'er's talk, he remembered that he could not build railways, pay taxes, make a fortune from stones, or pick up coal to burn home.

Xiaqiu Village no longer cares about how much money the village earns. They only care about studying and raising good children.

"Yes, uh... participating in politics? Okay, joining politics! Hehehehehe..."

Fang Dachuan responded, paused slightly, and was shocked. He just saw the prefect today. How could he know what the prefect looked like on weekdays?

"Then...just do it! We will write it to you later, and you have to find someone to learn how to process and identify stones. Alas!"

"Sure, um! Dashan! We suddenly thought of something. You said that Xiaqiu Village can give us ideas to make money. Are they also rich themselves? Isn't that a lot of money?"

Fang Dachuan, who couldn't continue writing, suddenly thought about making money in Xiaqiu Village. He felt that a poor place like his own village could still make money. How could he be poor if he was given guidance?

Just in time to open more factories, in cooperation with the court, they managed each factory and took care of each other with the department stores.

Participate in politics! Political participation in the North Parallel Province! Bigger than the magistrate, mother! He promised to hear what I said about Xiaqiu Village before.

I am familiar with my cousin, the magistrate, and it would be hard to meet another magistrate!

At the same time, special factories must arrange reliable manpower, such as military industry.

Seeing the haunted look in the room, Zhao Yao wanted to laugh. How could he compare to Xiaqiu Village like this?
He also sighed: "Alas~! Xiaqiu Village actually doesn't have much cash, only about 100,000 yuan!
The rest are all thrown into factories. In the future, some people in Xiaqiu Village will become officials, and some will need a way out.

Zhao Yao chatted a few words and asked the other party not to be so nervous. He came to Xiashan Village just to solve the problem, not to scare anyone.

Fang Dashan sighed, there was nothing he could do against his cousin, he didn't know all the characters, yet he dared to compete with Xiaqiu Village.

More often than not, they have to go to work and set up factories specifically to recruit women, so that women can earn more. "

"Yes, yes, it's true to participate in politics." Fang Dashan responded with a smile.

He was stunned, thinking about the same question, how much money does Xiaqiu Village have? I don’t know!
Zhao Yao, who had been sitting silently among the group of people, shook his head: "Let's wait until everyone in the village has enough to eat before we think about others."

Fang Dashan: "..."

"Only a hundred thousand yuan? Ah! It's really not much money. Yes... not much... not..."

The head of the room muttered, lowering his head and trying to write two more words. He kept mumbling, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

The other people eat normally and then drink medicine and insecticide. For those who have confirmed that there are bugs before, adjust the dosage and prescription. People with other diseases need to take other medicines. There is no need for people to prepare the medicine themselves and just wait for it to be ready-made.

After the people finished eating, they had to continue working tomorrow and went to bed one after another.

The princes continued to eat and drink without disturbing them, and another big problem was solved, still in small talk.

Originally, I came here just to see the situation and do something to help the people who didn't want to migrate. They should at least have enough to eat, but there was actually a child who was starving and had liver and ascites.

Looking at it again now, Xiashan Village is proceeding according to the plan. It is not just a matter of having enough food. As long as you are not short-sighted and do not think in wrong ways, the village will be very rich.

Just afraid...

"I'm afraid that someone will make money and forget about the hard days. Spending money lavishly is not a problem, gambling is the behavior that ruins a family."

The director also thought about the situation and wanted to remind him that gambling is not prohibited and can only be determined by the individual.

According to Hanhan, gambling is addictive because it can stimulate people to secrete more dopamine, like drinking and doing things between men and women.

Once you are exposed to it, it is easy to become addicted. You are looking for the thrill of winning in the gambling process, and you also feel the depression when you lose, and then increase your bets...

In the past, there were many people in other villages in Xuancheng County who lost their money through gambling. Not only the rich gambled, but the poor also gambled. The more they gambled, the poorer they became. The poorer they became, the more they gambled. They did not work at all. You don't have to eat for work, and you can go gambling with the few pennies you earn.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. No one in Xiashan Village dares to do it. Whoever bets will get it."

This time, the head of the house in Xiashan Village spoke to Chief Zhu, I promise!
Gambling was originally banned by the imperial court. If you were caught, you would be dealt with severely. It was normal to chop your hands. The purpose of chopping was not to scare others away from gambling.

This is to allow idle people to work honestly and gamble, without increasing the court's income unless the court draws money from it.

"Okay! It's better not to gamble!" Li Chang nodded.

Zhu Wentian was grilling skewers there and shook his head slightly. The ban was also banned in some areas. Those who wanted to gamble would switch from the bright side to the dark side.

Throwing dice and selling candied haws on a stick in Hebei Province was the most classic at that time.

Buyers and sellers throw dice. If the buyer wins, the seller will receive a bunch as a gift. If the buyer loses, he will buy an extra bunch.

But those who sell sugar-coated haws in a bunch or two don’t want to play with you. You have to buy more than ten or twenty bunches. On average, the candied haws-glud sellers make small profits but quick turnover, and those who buy candied haws-gluds get the wholesale price.

The key here is to sell stones in the future, so there will be people betting on stones. Fortunately, the chicken blood stone is now controlled by the Prince's Mansion, and is slowly selling it, making a lot of money.

As the processing technology of jadeite improves, jadeite will also come in. Who knows what the jade inside the stone looks like?

Lantian Jade has been given a new mining address, and there will still be people willing to gamble on stones.

Zhu Wentian thought about it, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let people from Xiashan Village make rocks.

If they do not engage in stone trading, the villagers will not need to learn skills, and if they do not learn, they will not bet on stones.

How could you not bet? How did He Shibi come from that time?

Others didn’t know what the village guards of Xiaqiu Village were thinking about. Everyone analyzed how big the economic scale of Xiashan Village would be in the future and how much tax revenue it would bring to Beiping Prefecture...
