Chapter 1: Bo Xi? Equestrian
A bastard, I thought you Shuofang Chamber of Commerce were in the same trousers as me, but I didn’t expect that in the end you were plotting against me.
Li Shimin couldn't even eat the food that night. He thought Xi Yunfei was kind enough to help him make a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, in the end, I probably earned less than half of the money I had.
The cost of a set of Zhenguan money is probably around one gold coin, and two gold coins are at the top, and Xi Yunfei actually wants to sell him five gold coins.
When Xi Yunfei issued the new currency, he found out clearly that the so-called gold coins were actually gold-packed copper.
What is gold-covered copper? It means first making a copper inner core half thick of ordinary gold coins, and then wrapping a layer of gold and water on the outside. I don’t know much about the specific process. If I know, Li Shimin himself can cast new coins.
Therefore, the gold coins issued by the People's Bank of Shuofang are far less expensive than one gold coins in terms of material costs, and the cost is basically controlled at about 30%.
After all, silver coins are the most real thing in the entire monetary system?
No, because silver coins are also covered with iron, the cost is extremely low...
Only steel is the most authentic coins in the entire monetary system, because they are all made of stainless steel, which is too expensive!
the next day.
Chang'an City is as prosperous as ever.
As the New Year approaches, the vendors selling New Year's goods on the streets are even more desperate, and they are also anxious to go home for the New Year.
Dongshi, the closest entrance to Pingkangfang.
Wang Lao Liu started busy early in the morning with a group of craftsmen.
Zhang Liang and Duan Lun also sent servants and maids from the mansion to help.
It took only about two hours to build a row of single-story wooden houses on the open space at the entrance of the yard.
Fortunately, wood and other materials are ready-made in Pingkangfang, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast.
It's almost noon.
Cracks and crackles...a lively sound of firecrackers.
A guard in Zhang Liang's mansion held a gong and stood at the entrance of the yard while knocking, shouting.
"Come on, don't miss it if you pass by. The new gameplay method from Shuofang is good, one steel horn can turn into gold, but one steel horn is bad, and one steel horn is not sad if it loses..."
The sound of the guard guard is much louder than that of the Tongluo. It is time for lunch. As Xi Yunfei's influence becomes stronger and more food in Chang'an City, almost every household now has three meals a day.
As the most concentrated place for restaurants and restaurants in Dongshi, it is a place for dinner at this time, and I don’t know how many high-ranking officials gathered on the entire street.
"Let's go and have a look. I just saw General Zhang and Shangshu Duan. I asked them what they were doing. I was still mysterious and refused to say it, but I didn't expect it to be organizing a play and entertainment."
"Fortunately, the years are approaching, and the court has relaxed a lot of money from the betting. The two Shangguans made a lot of money with the Shuofang Langjun, probably because they intend to share the fun with the people."
"Haha, that's hard to say. For the game, the dealer basically makes money, just how much you make."
Soon, the small square in front of the wooden house was surrounded by people.
Wang Laoliu built a terrace on the wooden roof, and at this time the manager sent by Zhang Liang and Duan Lun were standing on it.
One of the managers cleared his throat and shouted, "Everyone, recently, my master discovered a very interesting gameplay game. Now, the end of the year is coming soon, so I want to take it out and have fun with everyone..."
Before he could finish his words, an impatient person in the crowd said aloud: "Don't talk so much. The one you just said can turn into gold. I'm afraid it's not a fool to fool us. Everyone is familiar with the betting, but the betting with such high odds is unheard of!"
This person was surrounded by a group of young men in brocade clothes, all of whom were famous playboys in Chang'an City. They knew nothing on weekdays, and they were used to eating, drinking and having fun, and were extremely passionate about playing games.
When they came forward to ask, the other onlookers nodded in recognition. After all, these people are all experts.
On the terrace, the corner of the Zhang family's manager raised his lips slightly, and he thought to himself that this friend of Goro was really anxious. Before he finished his lines, he was in a hurry to stand up and speak. However, well, the curiosity of the people was aroused.
The manager bowed to the young master and said politely: "Mr. Lin is from an extraordinary background and is considered a distinguished guest. You can come directly to the counter. We have girls who explain how to play. They have received special training. They are all about how to play, and they just need to ask them."
"However, in order to make everyone simpler and more direct understanding of our gameplay, let me demonstrate it to you in front of everyone. I believe everyone will learn it immediately."
At this time, on one side of the terrace, two men walked up with a huge wooden board.
After seeing the pattern on the wooden board, many people in the audience screamed and then talked about the wooden board.
"Oh, isn't that the knight of Tumu Fortress of Turkic? The one who rode a horse very quickly won the second son of the Duke of Wei yesterday."
"Yes, yes, there is another one. I remember that it is also a Turkic knight, and it is called Mo, what's the name?"
"Mo'erhaza, when I went to Tumu Fort in the morning, he rode a fast horse, which is said to be a real sweat-blooded BMW."
"What does this mean? Why do you hang up the portraits of Turkic people?"
"Wait, look, there is still a piece next to you."
On the first wooden board, there were portraits of five Turkic people, while the second portrait was replaced by five Tang people.
"I know the little man in the middle, Ma Liuer from the City Guard, is said to be the first-class riding skill. He is too short to go to the battlefield and cannot make achievements..."
"The first one is the head of Wuhou Pavilion in the south of the city. My family is next door to his house. This kid is also an equestrian master."
"Is this so-called new play related to them, right?"
As more and more people watched, ten characters were recognized on two wooden boards on the terrace.
Especially the five knights of the Tang Dynasty, many people have begun to discuss issues they are concerned about.
If these five people faced the five Turks, who would be better in equestrian skills?
Just then.
Bang bang bang bang!
The Zhang family manager standing on the terrace started to beat the gong. After everyone looked at him, he said happily: "You are all right, our play is related to ten people."
Many people in the audience started to talk again.
The manager hurriedly said loudly: "At noon tomorrow, my five equestrian masters of the Tang Dynasty will go to Tumu Fort to challenge the five Turkic knights. The competition will be divided into three rounds, and the elimination system will be adopted. Five people will be eliminated in the first round, two people will be eliminated in the second round, and the final will be decided to be the first, second and third place."
Bang!
The manager beat the gong hard, and saw two maids next to the terrace walking up pretty.
The manager took the red paper handed over by one of the maids, unfolded it, and said, "My owner and Duan Shangshu have confirmed the odds for these ten people. Now, I will show it to you."
Another maid nodded to the manager, took ten red papers with the contents, and pasted them under the portraits of ten equestrian masters.
Next, a huge roar broke out in the small square again!
Chapter completed!
