Finally, after ten days of the vigorous Datang Lady Mahjong Competition, Li Yuanxing returned to Chang'an.
Had to come back.
Every time he thought that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have gone crazy, Li Yuanxing could not sleep peacefully.
But after returning to Chang'an, Li Yuanxing became even more unhappy.
Qinwangzhuang has still become a super casino, with more than just mahjong tables. When Wu Zhao came back from Yaozhou, baccarat, dice, Pai Gow, and even Texas Hold'em were all used.
The rules were set by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. They were divided into four sizes of chips: five, ten, fifteen and fifty. Five means five guans per tonnage, which refers to the boat. And fifty guans per chip
The bet is on a giant ship of more than 3,000 tons, the higher the cost, and the stronger the ocean-going capability.
Each chip has an individual number, marked in four colors: iron, copper, silver, and gold.
The chips are bought, but the bought chips cannot be exchanged for the tonnage, only the ones won can be exchanged. So let's start betting. The Qin Palace is the dealer and does not take a commission. You can play various games and then allocate all the money for next year.
The annual orders amounted to about 800,000 tons, which was enough for the Tang Dynasty to conquer the Southeast Asia.
When Li Yuanxing returned to Qinwangzhuang, Wu Zhao and Li Er were playing Go.
While these two were chatting and playing chess, no one could get close to them. Of course, Li Yuanxing was not included. Wu Zhao and Li Er said in unison that Li Yuanxing was not a human being.
What Li Er said was not a human being, but meant that Li Yuanxing was a star king in the sky.
Wu Zhao said that Li Yuanxing was not a human being, which means he was talking about a beast.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?" Li Yuanxing sat next to the Go table.
Wu Zhao and Li Er laughed at the same time. Li Er turned to Li Yuanxing happily and said, "Wu Lang, last year's treasury was three times that of the previous year, excluding your income from Japan. Nanyang's income is really
The income is very high. I heard that the Cui family in Qinghe earned as much in one year as they did in the past ten years."
Wu Zhao also said: "The Cui family of Qinghe used an ox cart to pull more than a hundred carts of silver and more than a dozen carts of gold. They went to the silver village and exchanged them for large-scale silver notes. They bought 50,000 tons in one go. Lu
The family has also bought 30,000 tons. Now the heads of the two families will come on stage in person to decide the winner."
"The loser should be miserable!" Li Yuanxing asked casually.
"No, it's not as bad as you think. Every family has a limit. Brother Wei sent people to observe secretly. Take the Cui and Lu families as an example. First they lost thousands of tons to each other, and then they lost these in exchange for
The actual tonnage. One family has two big ships of three thousand tons, and then the real gambling begins. That is, even if you lose, there are two big ships to guarantee. For business in Nanyang, wooden sailing ships of 100 tons can also be used.
.”
Li Er gave Li Yuanxing an interesting explanation.
Wu Zhao then took out a small tape recorder: "Listen!"
Li Yuanxing put on his headphones and heard the Cui family giving lessons to several small families who relied on them.
That was Cui Junsu's voice.
"Hit people and grab things, you pigs!" Cui Junsu actually learned to use pigs to describe people. This can not but be said to be an improvement, a huge improvement in language skills. Hearing this, Li Yuanxing already laughed.
"Read carefully every sentence His Highness the King of Qin once said, and then carefully study the details of everything His Highness the King of Qin has done. Think about the Goguryeo people, think about the Japanese, and then talk about Nanyang."
When Cui Junsu heard about Nanyang, Li Yuanxing couldn't help but change his sitting position. He sat very seriously and listened very seriously.
"Nanyang is divided into three categories of people. The first category is those who can support money with us, the second category is those who want to use our power to speculate, and the third category is those who want to deal with us. Therefore, we must also prepare three weapons
.”
"Those who don't understand what I'm saying should go back to school and learn what the theory of sheep cannibalism is."
"The first weapon is coins, silver coins, and gold coins. As Princess Mingyue often jokes, she likes silver. Wealth is the weapon in our hands. Do people in Nanyang think better? Then come and give it
If you listen to us people of the Tang Dynasty and are obedient, you will definitely eat better, wear better clothes, and become a master under the Tang Dynasty."
Regarding wealth strategy, Li Yuanxing has to say that people from big families are really smart.
"The second weapon is the whip. We need to let all the resisters know who can keep their word. Of course, we don't ask you idiots to beat people yourself. Once you do it, you must use the regular army of the Tang Dynasty to let those barbaric
Lowly guys know what a real killer is. If you want to fight, you have to make them afraid."
What a great theory. Li Yuanxing didn’t expect Cui Junsu to summarize this to such an extent.
But Cui Junsu obviously didn't say anything.
"Remember, when it comes to beating people with whips, let the Japanese harbor guards do it, and let the Silla people do the tax collection. You must not let these two kinds of guys do the same work, and they must have some kind of restriction on each other.
Japanese thugs and Silla tax collectors are absolutely indispensable in every port. What is the job of the Tang people?"
It's a little messy down there.
Cui Junsu shouted: "The job of people in the Tang Dynasty is to count money!"
Awesome.
Then Cui Junsu lowered his voice: "The last weapon is something that a certain person realized. Whether it is the Japanese, Goguryeo, Silla, or Nanyang people. Our last weapon is bones. Throw a bone and ask them to bite it.
Go rob and fight. Only then can we, the Tang Dynasty, be invincible."
The sound that came down was very quiet, and the words "Sheng Shang", "King of Qin" and "Aristocratic Family" could be vaguely heard.
Seeing Li Yuanxing's brows furrowed, Wu Zhao said: "Can't you hear clearly? Don't underestimate these aristocratic families. They have already learned the tricks you and Brother Huang used, unless you have something better."
"No, under absolute power, any strategy is useless."
Li Yuanxing objected to Wu Zhao's proposal.
Li Er also said: "Is it because of that iron guy?"
"What does a battle cruiser represent? Of course, only battleships are the overlords of the sea. Let them play. After a few more years of playing, we will start selling battleships. The era of big ships and cannons will begin, and the whole world will be equipped with Datang's
Flag." Li Yuanxing is full of confidence. He believes that the final point of this game is global Chineseization.
"I hope that among my descendants, there will be talents like the First Emperor!"
Li Er sighed with emotion.
Through this sentence, it represents Li Er's voice.
The imperial court of the Tang Dynasty may not be able to control the whole world in hundreds of years. But once everyone's ambitions are mobilized, it can be completed within a few decades, at least in name it will be the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
In line with the sentence in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will unite, and if it is united for a long time, it will divide.
Li Er's thoughts have risen to another level.
Sinicizing the world was also his great cause for one emperor through the ages. As for global unification, these small fiefdoms are still the fiefdoms of the Tang Dynasty. It will be hundreds of years later when he dares to rebel. At that time, he will not worry about it. His children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren.
blessing.
"By the way, Wu Lang!" Li Er waved to the side, and Eunuch Gao trotted over quickly. After listening to Li Er's instructions for a few words, he brought a document bag over. Li Er took out a document from it: "
Wulang, this is Lan Yue's watch seal. I originally wanted to give it to my brother after you came back, but my brother also came to see it after hearing rumors about Chang'an."
"I know this, we have discussed it."
That portion is the seal of all the mulberry trees grown in Japan.
"Wu Lang, how about giving Lan Yue an official position? Just like Mingyue has the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, how about giving Lan Yue the title of Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry?"
Li Er is asking, a seal does not matter to him.
Now it depends on whether Li Yuanxing can freely let Li Lanshan come to the front instead of just hiding behind his man.
"My brother, Dai Lanyue, thanked the emperor." Li Yuanxing agreed to Li Er's proposal.
Wu Zhao said: "I think how to increase steel production is the most important thing. There is also the aluminum industry, which is not easy, but it has to be done. That thing may cause worker poisoning, and Daomen is already studying ways to deal with it.
You know that Daomen likes to deal with these weird things, so they have a way."
"Yes!" Li Yuanxing just nodded.
At the venue, many people suddenly clapped their hands, and Li Er raised his fingers at Eunuch Gao.
"Your Majesty, the Great Wisdom Poker at the nine-person table. Daibei Changsun's family got nine thousand tons. They were playing a life-and-death bet." After Gao Eunuch explained from the side, he saw Li Er waving his hand and quickly retreated into the distance.
What a magical term, Li Yuanxing couldn't understand it.
Wu Zhao quietly explained to Li Yuanxing from the side, and Li Yuanxing understood.
In the nine-person table Texas Hold'em, the life and death bet is that there is only one winner. The winner will be the end of the table. Each person bets a thousand tons. The representative of Daibei's Changsun family is Changsun Wuji. The wisdom of this fox
It's definitely not a little bit of wisdom. This poker game is about courage, luck, and more of a psychological battle.
So this is the most exciting game among the rich and powerful.
It is also because of this that it is named Great Wisdom Poker. The youngest person on that table is fifty years old. All of them are at the level of top foxes.
People like Cheng Motou and Heitan Ge prefer dice and rely entirely on luck to decide the outcome.
Fighting over wits is not their cup of tea.
Li Er kept tapping his fingers on the table, and after Eunuch Gao had retreated far away, he said to Li Yuanxing: "Wuji has publicly supported Cheng Qian, and Tai's financial resources have also been combined with Cheng Qian's. Obviously they both
Understand that great things cannot be accomplished by the strength of one person."
"Yes!" Li Yuanxing just nodded. He didn't want to get involved in matters like the royal family.
"The last time Ke Ke lost a store, the loss was not small. This time, the Xiao family has won 40,000 tons. This amount is the first among all the stores. Of course, after everything is over, someone may surpass it, but
As long as Ke no longer gambles, the 40,000-ton level will allow him to dominate the Nanyang waterways."
"Then let's make the game circle bigger!" Li Yuanxing continued.
