Gao Qiu suddenly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, if I win... I will use half of the money I won to set up a charity hall in Bianliang in your Majesty's name to help the orphans, the old and the young, and the remaining half will be used to reward the soldiers who have worked hard...
How about making this a good deal?"
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly they couldn't react... Jun Qian, who was acting like a fool, suddenly turned out to be related to rescuing the old and weak and rewarding the three armies? What kind of magic stroke is this?
Zhao Ji looked at Gao Qiu curiously, but he felt a little impressed by this outdated old star. Could this guy really be enlightened?
"Oh, Tong Qing's family..."
Tong Guan turned over and prostrated on the ground: "Your Majesty, Captain Gao's move has won the hearts of my ministers... I am also willing to donate the bonuses I won to help the poor, old and young in your Majesty's name."
At this time, everyone including Zhao Ji felt something strange. Liang Shicheng still stood beside the king with his eyes closed and silently silent, while Cai You expressed his approval...Wang Fu frowned and said nothing.
Zhao Ji simply laughed: "It's accurate! Then let Gao Aiqing and Tong Aiqing select athletes to compete in the Nancheng school field... Don't donate everything if you win, just donate four percent!"
Gao Qiu's eyes lit up, and he and Tong Guan both bowed and saluted: "Old minister, I obey!"
Cai You, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since you are doing good deeds and rewarding the soldiers... why not let people like the ministers also participate? This competition is regarded as the civil and military service of the Manchu Dynasty for the poor people near Bianliang.
Doing good deeds can also show that His Majesty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and all the princes in the court love the people!"
Zhao Ji always felt that something was wrong, and then glanced at Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu next to him with a slightly suspicious look, and found that they both looked uncommitted... It seemed that these people were not colluding with some evil ideas, so they
He simply nodded and said: "Okay, then I will sit here and watch... Liang Banban..."
Liang Shicheng suddenly opened his eyes and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am here..."
"It's up to you to do the notarization. Officials who are willing to donate some money to the people... can decide the winner or loser here! If you lose, you are not allowed to feel resentful. The winner will use 50% of the bonus to open a charity hall to help the people.
The poor, old and young...well, if you lose money by sitting in the bank, just let my inner treasury pay for it!"
All the ministers bowed down and worshiped, shouting that His Majesty the Emperor cares about the people, which is a blessing to all people in the world...
Gao Qiu's excited arms were shaking secretly... Song Wen, Song Wen, these tricks of yours are really powerful! Little Turtle Gong, even this excuse scene was arranged so well... If only Cai You and Tong Guan knew
These ideas were all secretly taught to me by a businessman named Gao Qiu. I wonder if he would be so angry that he would almost die?
Hey hey hey... As long as it works! As long as I can make the welfare gambling industry work, who cares whether you old guys who are fighting for power or not die...
The news that the imperial court was going to have a bet between the Western Frontier Army and the Bianliang Forbidden Army spread quickly... For a time, the entire Bianliang South City and the people watching around the school grounds were excited.
Without it, Bianliang people love good food, beautiful scenery and good wine to join in the fun, as evidenced by the proliferation of gambling houses, restaurants and brothels.
Only those direct ministers who were squeezed out of the core of the imperial court were trembling with anger... Is this how to sympathize with the army and cherish the people? Using gambling and fighting in front of the emperor as charity, what a bunch of sycophants!
Several young people looked up at a few officials who were relatively upright, and the last group of marginalized officials just sighed lightly...
Gao Qiu and Tong Guan each stepped down from the stage to choose their favorite riders and horses. Naturally, the officials present could not be like the rogues in the market waving gold and silver to place bets, so some boys came up with pens, inks, paper and inkstones to place bets for the adults.
.
Each piece of paper with handwriting on it was stamped by the officials with their personal seals that they carried with them, and there was also the amount of silver betted on it.
Liang Shicheng finally collected all the notes. The old guy was quick in thinking and estimated the approximate amount with a little calculation... minus half of it. Liang Shicheng nodded and leaned next to Zhao Ji and said: "Guanjia,
These ministers are still loyal. Regardless of whether Gao Taiwei and Tong Guogong win or lose this time, they will donate more than five thousand taels of silver to help the people!"
Zhao Ji looked at the tray in Liang Shicheng's hand with curiosity... "It seems that my ministers are still very rich... Hahaha..."
Cai You on the side quickly added: "Your Majesty treats his ministers wisely and generously. I am waiting for these money... If your Majesty needs it, I can donate it to your Majesty at any time!"
"Hahahaha... I am not short of your money. The world is peaceful. I'm afraid there aren't many refugees and poor people in Bianliang who need help!"
"That's true, but people have their share of misfortunes and good fortunes. Even if some are unlucky or a man in the family dies young, there are only a few of them!"
Liang Shicheng didn't want Zhao Ji to struggle with this thought, and suddenly raised his finger and pointed to both sides of the school field... "Guan, you see, Captain Gao really prepared a few big horses... It seems that he really has the confidence not to admit defeat!"
Cai You on the side continued: "This is how you feel confident. After all, Lieutenant Gao is the commander-in-chief of our Song Dynasty. It is our duty not to show weakness!"
Liang Shicheng smiled slightly and stopped talking.
There were three games to win or lose. Although there was only a payout of five to one, most people still bet on Tong Guan to win. Those who bet on Gao Qiu were officials who were almost in the same pants as Gao Qiu. There were also a few real bettors.
Disciple!
After all, it's a six-for-one bonus... I don't know how Cai You and Liang Shicheng decided it. The odds sound simple and clear, which makes people find it very interesting.
Wang Fu rolled his eyes for a long time, becoming more and more certain that Cai You and Gao Qiu seemed to be secretly planning something with Tong Guan. What kind of odds are there... these thieves can't be
Are you trying to trick Zhao Ji into becoming a gambler?
It’s really boring to live. Do you really think that all those officials with indifferent expressions who hide behind people like you are dead? The emperor is obsessed with playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting and gardening, and it’s okay. He can accept more female officials and concubines and have more children.
It's considered a real job... But once Zhao Ji, the cockfighting lackey, is allowed to become a gambler, these Qingliu and Zhichen are afraid that they can overthrow the Jinluan Palace and trample all these people to death!
Gao Qiu expressed condolences to the knights one by one, and then turned back to look at Tong Guan next to him... "My lord, my lord's reputation has long been spread throughout the universe... But over the years, haha... I hope my lord will show mercy! Hahaha...
"
Tong Guan looked at Gao Qiu in depression and threw away his sleeves with a snort.
nnd... Villain, if you hadn't promised to give me all the money you won, I would have let the knights of the Western Army crush all your rotten eggs!
Everyone stood up and looked at the field with great interest, and then suddenly discovered that a guardrail had been added to the school field at some point and the track was drawn with white lines... The surrounding area seemed to have arranged seating for the spectators.
s position.
With the sound of a gong, two fast horses were spurred out by their masters and rushed forward... This chapter has been completed!
