Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 100

"When you are born, you will never forget your parents' kindness; when you are rich, you will never forget your guide."

"On the road of growth, from ignorance to knowledge, many times you cannot do it by yourself. It is a great blessing to meet a good teacher. A kind word and guidance can make people realize something. Brother Yuwen, you know what I mean. Bar."

Yu Wenhuaji didn't understand what Yang Guang meant, why Yang Guang suddenly started talking about these things when he arrived.

Wang Yi beside him quietly whispered a few words into Yu Wenhuaji's ear, and Yu Wenhuaji suddenly realized that it turned out that the King of Jin and the Duke of Tang were going to eat meat.

"Your Highness, you just got married..."

"Don't get me wrong, we are going for an on-site inspection, purely for the construction of Daxing City. It is of great importance. If Daxing City is not constructed well, not only will the father be blamed, but it will be a loss to the people of the Sui Dynasty. We cannot I have always been a dedicated person for the sake of the small self regardless of the greater self.”

Yu Wenhuaji nodded: "His Highness is right, how about you two change your clothes and put on more ordinary clothes to cover up a little more?"

The two looked at each other and Yang Guang said: "Brother Yuwen is right. Brother Yuwen is experienced. The two of us are not trying to hide others' eyes, but just to observe the situation more realistically. Cousin, are you right?"

"Your Highness...relax."

Yang Guang is like a blogger on the short video platform at this time, specifically stating "Normal wear, no bad guidance", there is no silver 320 and [-] taels here.

After changing his clothes and adding some beard, although he can't hide his childish face, in general, people who are not particularly familiar with him should not be able to recognize him.

"Your Highness, where should we go first?"

"Let's go to the racetrack."

"The racetrack and the polo field are together, let's go."

Wang Yi and others followed the carriage. For the sake of safety, they brought along some of the most skilled guards in the house. Together with Yu Wenhua and the great master, it should be enough without exposing their identity.

There are many places like these in Chang'an City, and the racecourse is located outside the city because it requires a large space.

Entertainment facilities in ancient times were limited, so horse racing was a very important one. Polo is a sports activity derived from horse racing. Polo is mainly for playing, and horse racing is mainly for gambling.

Horse racing has been around since ancient times, just like the familiar Tian Ji horse racing, which uses top-grade horses and medium-grade horses. The story of JDG tells us the importance of arranging troops to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.

When we arrived near the racecourse, we saw a huge crowd.

The crowd gathered around the arena, shouting and cheering in high spirits.The entire venue was decorated extremely gorgeously, with colorful flags flying and constant applause.

Yang Guang and the others walked to the edge, and Yu Wenhuaji took them to the VIP viewing area, where they could have a panoramic view of the entire racecourse.

Six horses are racing in the field, each wearing a piece of cloth of a different color to distinguish them. People on the side are talking and chatting loudly. They are wearing fashionable clothes, equipped with various crowns and accessories, including There were quite a few barbarians, all of whom had placed bets, and were shouting crazily.

Food and clothing, lust and lust, these people have money and time, so they need some channels to release their energy. The rush of adrenaline can bring spiritual happiness to people.

Yang Guang looked at the situation at the racecourse. This thing is the racing car of this era. Speed ​​can always stimulate people. This has been true throughout the ages. It is also the most common gambling activity.

Yang Guang carefully observed the surroundings. The facilities of the racecourse were actually very simple. Wooden railings surrounded a circular venue. The viewing experience of the surrounding people was not good.

Yang Guang said to Li Yuan: "Cousin, you see this viewing area is flat. The audience in the back row must be high enough to see it. In this case, the experience will be very poor. When you design the racecourse, you must adjust the back row position Slowly raise it, so that the back row can see more clearly by taking advantage of the terrain. Although the main income of the racecourse is the nobles watching the race, and ordinary people are just a supplement, the more lively it is, the more fun everyone will have. "

Li Yuan nodded and wrote down the matter. Yang Guang's opinions were always so practical.

"The racetrack and the polo match are similar, so is the polo match the same?"

"Of course, you should also pay special attention to the VIP area. These people have strong spending power. You must use luxurious styles and exquisite services to let them spend their money."

After Yang Guang said this, Li Yuan already had a general idea in his mind, but asked curiously: "Your Highness, why do you leave other casinos to others, but you leave the polo matches and racecourses to the imperial court?" Woolen cloth?"

"These two things will be of great use in the future. They are called sports betting. It is safer to keep these things in your own hands. I will explain them in detail when Changlefang starts to build them. It is not necessary now."

Yang Guang said to Yu Wenji: "Brother Yuwen, let's go to the next place."

The racetrack is outside the city, and now the location has to be changed. This time the destination is the casino.

The behavior of casinos was not explicitly prohibited or not prohibited in the Sui Dynasty. Empress Dugu did not like this trend, but it has been very popular since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and dignitaries also like it. If you want to ban it, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. Trouble, so this industry is now like a little girl who is half-promoting.

Yang Guang and the other three walked in. The atmosphere here was wild and depressing. People's faces were full of uneasiness and excitement. The feeling of winning or losing on a thin line made people's emotional experience ups and downs, stimulating everyone's hearts. Coupled with the dim lights, inside the casino There is an atmosphere of mystery and evil, and gamblers are jumping around like vagrants, always looking forward to good luck.But good luck never favors fools, and the stupidest people will put all their chips on the gambling table, hoping for the judgment of fate.

Fate is never fair.

The atmosphere here is much crazier than that at the racecourse, with people shouting and shouting everywhere. But Yang Guang walked around and saw the projects that everyone was playing. The projects of this era were even better than those on the New Year card table in his village. The game is scarce, mainly rolling dice, and the space for gaming is small. Yang Guang feels that if he can invent the quintessence of Chinese mahjong, it will probably be very popular.

People like the process of this game. The essence of Mahjong is to build an orderly deck of cards on a disorderly card table. This feeling of controlling the overall situation between the probability of luck and strategizing will make people happy.

"Cousin, how do you feel?"

"It's a bit messy. This is already the most upscale casino in the city, but the mixed feeling is uncomfortable."

Yu Wenhuaji then said, "That's true. Some people will hold some gambling games regularly in their homes, invite friends, and have fun while drinking and having fun."

It is impossible for dignitaries to immerse themselves in this every day. These low-end places cannot fully meet their needs. Yang Guang said to Li Yuan: "Cousin, so when planning the construction of Changlefang Casino, high-end places must also be included. It will be separated from the low-end areas, and we will issue three licenses to divide the three places into medium, high and low levels to meet the needs of different groups of people."

Li Yuan nodded.

The three of them were about to leave. It was already evening, but before leaving, the three of them were stopped at the entrance of the casino.

A fierce-looking man stood in front of the three people: "Who are you? I have been observing you for a long time. You have been walking around in my casino. You don't place bets or participate. You just walk around here. Who are you?!"

Facing the fierce people, Yu Wenhuaji stepped in front of Yang Guang, and several guards surrounded Yang Guang: "Get out of here before I'm angry."

The gangsters who were in charge of the situation were simply not enough to look at in front of Yu Wenhuaji. The gangster who was very domineering just now didn't dare to move when he saw the posture of Yu Wenhuaji and the others.

The commotion caused everyone around to look over, and the people watching the scene were also riding a tiger. He couldn't just give in. After all, he had to establish his prestige, otherwise the troublemakers in the scene would not take him seriously, but in front of him It seemed like a few people couldn't afford to offend.

Judging from the other party's dress, he didn't look wealthy, so he felt excited in his heart.

Yang Guang didn't want to cause trouble, and there was no benefit in letting people see him, so he gave Yu Wenhuaji a look, and Yu Wenhuaji shouted: "Get out of here."

The people watching the scene had no choice but to get out of the way first, and several guards surrounded Yang Guang and walked out.

"Brother, it's a good thing you didn't stop me just now. People in the casino just now said that the leader was a young man from the Baoguo family."

The people watching were stunned for a moment, with lingering fears. I thought, I almost offended a big shot, but what kind of identity could Yu Wenhua be so protective of?

Yang Guang and others experienced a small setback and then headed to the most lively place in Chang'an City at night.

Yang Guang said to Li Yuan on the carriage: "Cousin, Changlefang will be the most prosperous place and also the most complicated place. If you don't manage it well, there will definitely be problems. I want to build an yamen here to specifically manage Changle." For these merchants in Changlefang, anyone entering Changlefang is not allowed to bring in weapons, and all security forces must report to this yamen. Anyone who violates the regulations will be severely punished, including the group of people who watched the place before."

"Your Highness, what do you need me to do?"

"We can't reach out to those things in the darkest corners. Secretly help me cultivate a gang, starting in Changle's room. I need someone to help me deal with these things."

Li Yuan fell into deep thought, but immediately nodded, indicating that he had taken over the matter. Yang Guang asked him to do this kind of thing hidden in the dark, which meant that he had become the most honorable and trustworthy person for him. The heavy burden is also a sharp sword hanging above the head.

Soon the three of them arrived at the busiest brothel called [Yunya Pavilion].

"The place behind Yunya Pavilion is the Liyuan."

Liyuan is a place name. Folk singing and performing arts spontaneously concentrated here. Later, when Emperor Xuanzong selected [-] disciples of the Ministry of Music, he taught them in Liyuan. From then on, Liyuan became a symbol of folk music. Now it is just a gathering place.

Yang Guang just got out of the car and couldn't help but be disappointed when he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Not lively enough."

"Your Highness, this is already the busiest place."

Yang Guang said nonchalantly: "Do you know what the best feeling is for a place like this?"

"What does it feel like."

"At that time, I was young and my clothes were thin. I was riding a horse and leaning on a leaning bridge, and the buildings were full of red sleeves."
