Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 35 The gambling shop opened and became famous
Regarding the banditry problem in Babaoshan, Chen Ci knew in his heart that his arrogance would not last long. If Zhang Mang couldn't attack, the King of Wu would not swallow his breath. At that time, the Guangling army would be mobilized, and the bandits in Babaoshan would collapse in an instant.Of course, as for why King Wu didn't send the legion out immediately?Only the king of Wu knows this, that is, he Zhang Mang is very upset, this person actually refused the papermaking technique of Chen Ci, otherwise, now the king of Wu has already made a lot of money by relying on the sales of paper up.

In the 22nd year of Tai'an, at the end of Jia month.

Chen Ci's casino officially opened.

In this era, there is no need to hide the truth about gambling. As a profiteering industry, there are government-approved documents, and it is a big taxpayer like a brothel, so it is not illegal.

The gambling house was set up on a street at the east gate of Guangling City...or in other words, half of the properties on this street were owned by Chen Ci, and he bought them all, including restaurants, brothels, restaurants, inns, etc., for the sake of a comprehensive one. Dragon service allows gamblers who come here to enjoy God-like service.

When Murong Tong received the news of Chen Ci's opening, he couldn't wait to invite a few friends to come, not for anything else, but for shredded tobacco.The few friends he brought with him were all descendants of well-known families in Guangling City. They were rich and wealthy, and they brought a daughter's note as soon as they made a move.

Fan Chu has not been idle for the past few days, and ordered people to promote the gambling shop everywhere.Chen Ci’s casino not only supports loans and mortgages, but also gives away shredded tobacco when the daily turnover reaches a certain amount.Chen Ci made a lot of dice out of metal, and when he set up a gameplay, he chose three dice, shook them with dice Gu, and randomly drew three points.Opening bets on Odds and Doubles and Number Leopards, the former doubles, the latter ten times, and the gambling house is run by itself, no tax is collected, and when the turnover reaches a certain amount, Taoyuan Town's "monkey wine" will be given away 'And shredded tobacco, not only that, but also food and sleep at night.

On the first day of opening, dozens of people came to the casino, occupying seven or eight rooms inside and out, and there are different tables according to the minimum bet amount.

The dealers at each table are from the Xin family that Chen Ci brought from Taoyuan Town.

Murong Tong brought a few children from the family, Chen Ci and Fan Chu went out to greet him, and immediately he saw several young men beside Murong Tong who were dressed in gorgeous robes and Zhuying jewelry.

"My son-in-law..." Several people bowed to each other with smiles on their faces.

"Please come in, please come in."

Along the way, Chen Ci introduced his gambling house to everyone, and everyone was amazed when they heard this gambling method.

The first floor of the gambling house is very lively, most of them are ordinary people, who gamble for copper coins, ranging from a few pennies to hundreds of pennies.

The second floor is relatively deserted, but there are still more than a dozen people who gamble mostly with silver, ranging from two or three taels to hundreds of taels.

Chen Ci brought a few people to the third floor, where it was even more deserted, there were only six people, and there were gold and silver on the table. Well, it turned out that once they played, they got on top and couldn't stop at all. They were leisurely strolling with their pipes in their mouths, and there was a pile of gold and silver in front of them.In fact, they didn't have any gambling addiction at first, mainly because of this novel gambling method. The money comes in too fast, the winning is fast, and the counting is also fast. They won more than 100 taels; some people lost three to 40 taels in half an hour.

All in all, it's easy to get on top of.

Chen Ci introduced the gameplay on the side, and then asked Fan Chu to pay for it. The latter understood and took out ten taels of gold beads.

Chen Ci waved his hand, put it on "Xiao" and "Dan", and said: "Your Highness, gentlemen, let me bet on Xiaohe Dan, let's see the plate."

After all the gamblers had placed their bets, the dealer started rolling the dice Gu and shouted: "Everyone, open, open."

Say it, and buckle the dice cylinder heavily on the table.

A group of potbellied merchants squinted their eyes and stared at the dice Gu.

When they saw the son-in-law came to bet in person, many people followed suit and bought the same one, but there were also those who didn't believe in evil and bet on other things, and some who lost their beauties bet on numbers, hoping to get back their money.

Then, under the hot eyes of everyone, the dice cylinder was slowly opened by the dealer.

"Three, four, six"

The dealer laughed and said, "Three four six, thirteen o'clock, big order."

A wealthy businessman who lost his beauty and planned to give it a shot looked at it and laughed, "I won, damn it, I will get 20 taels of gold in the end, and I lost 100 taels in the blink of an eye, this one will pay back directly, hahaha. "

There are also those who sigh, such as those who follow the statement to buy small, all lose.

Of course, there were also those who paid the bill, secretly delighted at the moment.

In short, the gameplay is very fair, and the suspicion of cheating is also eliminated.

In this way of gambling, it is very difficult for the dealer to lose money. Anyway, if a table of people buys big or small, it is almost difficult for the dealer to lose money.

Murong Tong nodded slightly, and chatted with the other young masters, they also felt that there was no problem, so they all sat down.

A son-in-law with a jade face asked suspiciously: "My son-in-law, I came out early, and I didn't have time to get much silver. I have a booklet from the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce, which can be exchanged for 50 taels of gold..."

"Oh, a little problem, I have a loan service here, of course, there is interest, but if the young master finds it troublesome, I can order the boy to exchange it now, you play your own, don't worry."

The young master nodded.

After everyone settled down, Chen Ci and Fan Chu got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, they ordered someone to arrange a box of shredded tobacco for each of them.

The gambling house is running in an orderly manner.

After all, it was the first day of opening, and not many people came to play, and I didn't know how much money I could make.What Chen Ci is thinking now is how to attract Dongying people to come here to gamble. It is best to lose money here and borrow money.

He is not polite to Dongying people.

As soon as he went out, he saw a disheveled old lunatic arguing with a clerk at the entrance of a restaurant run by Taoyuan Town not far away. Seeing the clerk blushing and thick-necked, rolling up his sleeves and being filled with righteous indignation, he must have been very angry. He was about to hit someone, but the old lunatic clasped his feet with one hand and picked his booger with the other, with a look of disdain on his face, he didn't pay attention to the clerk at all.

It's him?

For this old lunatic, the statement is still fresh in his memory.

A few days ago, he and the princess came to eat hand in hand, and met this old lunatic. The princess was kind, and even took the initiative to hand over hot meat buns. At that time, Chen Ci couldn't understand the clerk bullying the old lunatic, so he tried to stop him, but he kindly fed him. Donkey liver and lung, that old lunatic flicked his booger before leaving.

Thinking of this, Chen Ci didn't have a good face, walked over, the waiter in the shop was about to beat the old lunatic, but when he saw Chen Ci coming, he staggered in fright, quickly stopped his hand with a sneer, took a step back, and remained silent. Say nothing.

Seeing this, the old lunatic raised his head and said proudly, "Hit, why don't you hit me? Don't you want to hit me?"

The waiter still didn't speak.

The old lunatic laughed loudly, pointed at the waiter's nose, and pointed at his cheap, greasy and dirty face, pretending to say: "Come on, hit here, hit hard, if you don't dare to hit, then hurry up, Bring me fresh, steaming buns just out of the oven."
