Fight bloody battles to the end and fight to the death.
Although it is not really a life-and-death fight, you can tell from the name alone that the bloody battle is one of the most brutal battles in the casino.
When Jia Yun heard this, she couldn't help but stand on the spot.
As a casino veteran, Jia Yun naturally knows what a bloody battle is, and he himself has experienced it before. The name "Lin'an Gambling King" is not unfounded. A year ago, Jia Yun defeated Hua Hua, the master of Xiangyun Gambling House, with a bloody battle.
Xiaohong, which caused him to go bankrupt, earned the title of King of Gamblers at that time, so Jia Yun knew very well the meaning of a bloody battle to the end.
Now it was Tao Qian's turn to look at him provocatively.
"Sir, forget it." Jia Liu advised in a low voice.
Jia Yun snorted, but quickly calmed down. Regardless of whether he was fighting or not, at least he couldn't lose in terms of momentum.
"Master Tao, first tell me how to compare?"
Tao Qian said: "Master Jia, since I propose a bloody battle to the end, you can decide the specific content of the competition."
"Brother, this?"
"Tao San, don't you believe eldest brother or you don't believe Mr. Jia?" Tao Qian said with a half-smile but not a smile.
If you play the game in your best way, you shouldn't lose. Jia Yun felt a little more confident, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to the back room."
In a corner on the second floor, Yunze, who was dressed as ordinary people, saw Tao Qian and Jia Yun enter the inner room, took out a ten-tael silver ingot from his arms, quietly placed it in Tao San's hand, turned around expressionlessly, and walked down.
Go upstairs.
May 31st of the first year of Xianchun.
The Privy Council sent Xiangfan intelligence on time every day. Just as Long Ya received the news, the Mongolian army had indeed gathered more than 20,000 troops in the Xinye area north of Xiangfan, but its purpose was still unclear. The 5,000 forbidden troops were dragging their feet and were still on the march.
, this made Jia Sidao very unhappy, and he could not keep it on his face, so he sent a letter to Xia Jiangang to arrive within a certain date.
In the imperial study, Quan Jiu took out the memorial from Qian, the prefect of Lin'an, and handed it to me: "Guan, this is Lord Qian's detailed report on the construction of Lin'an city. Last night, Jiu'er made changes that needed to be made based on the opinions of the officials.
The place is marked."
I took the memorial and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, you are quite competent as a personal assistant."
A smile appeared on Quan Jiu's face: "Thank you for the official's compliment. Jiu'er feels very happy to be able to share the affairs of the official family."
"Jiu'er, you go down and rest first, then call Xiao Qi."
"Well, Jiu'er is resigning."
After Xiaoqi entered the house, he said: "Guan's family, I'm here."
"Xiaoqi, has the potential friend arrived?"
"Back at the official residence, Master Qian has already arrived and is waiting for orders outside the palace gate."
"Oh, where is Wen Tianxiang?"
"Arrived too."
"Well, Xuan."
A quarter of an hour later, Wen Tianxiang and Qian Daoyou came to the imperial study room.
"I would like to say to my friends, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
"I love you for your life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Qian Ai Qing, this is my royal study. Don't be too formal. Sit down and talk. Song Rui, you can sit down too."
Qian Shuoyou came here for the first time. When he heard that he could sit down and talk, he felt flattered. After sitting down, he said: "I would like to thank the emperor for his favor."
"My dear, I have read your memorial. I think it is very good. I will discuss with you one by one the issues mentioned in your memorial. Song Rui, you were once a local official and made great achievements. Let's listen together.
listen."
I picked up the memorial and said calmly: "My dear sirs, the first point mentioned in this memorial is that we need to be good at managing complicated affairs and have good government and people. The people inside and outside the capital can live and work in peace and contentment; great governance can be achieved within a thousand miles; austerity (saving) is necessary.
He is good at mediating civil lawsuits, judges cases fairly and decisively, and strives to reduce the number of prisoners in the prison in a short period of time.
; Be considerate of the people's sentiments and care for the people. I think it is absolutely correct. As a local official, you should put people's livelihood first and manage the affairs well.
It can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. These people are like water, remember, remember!"
"I will bear in mind His Majesty's teachings."
"The second point is to build the capital and improve the city's appearance. Roads should be the first priority so that boats and vehicles can flow smoothly."
"If you want to be rich, build roads first." I was secretly happy. It seemed that this latent speaker still had some advanced ideas from later generations. Lin'an, the capital of the Xianchun period of the Southern Song Dynasty, had a population of nearly 700,000. It was truly one of the few in the world.
One of the big cities. However, the roads are old and the planning is chaotic. Except for the streets around the palace, most of them need to be repaired to adapt to the increasing resident population.
"You should submit the specific road construction plan to the Ministry of Industry, and I will ask the Ministry of Industry to coordinate with you to focus on practicality and aesthetics."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Third, pay attention to the infrastructure of the people's livelihood in the capital. Repair and build new public wells. Divide the city into five regions according to the directions of southeast, northwest, and center, so that the wells are distributed in each district, and they are deepened and reinforced; stone covers are added to the wells, and pavilions are built.
Protect and improve people’s drinking water conditions
; Build additional pools to enhance fire prevention capabilities; build several granaries so that the capital can store six million shi of rice; formulate regulations for the expansion of residential buildings and public buildings to achieve overall harmony. In response to this, I will add an article to comprehensively build new buildings
Improve the underground drainage system.”
"Underground drainage system?" the potential commentator asked puzzledly.
"Exactly, after the recent heavy rains, many roads have accumulated water, causing a lot of troubles to people's lives. Song Rui, I remember that Ganzhou's underground drainage system has a history of decades. Have you been there, you know
Is this the case?"
Wen Tianxiang didn't seem to agree: "Your Majesty, I know that waterlogging can indeed be drained, but this project is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and is quite difficult."
"Two dear friends, urban construction cannot only be about superficial construction, and the point of view of face must be resolutely eliminated. The underground drainage project involves thousands of households and is a major event that will benefit future generations. Think about it, if the rain this year is a little heavier, Lin'an City will
There are many low-lying areas in
Aren't they all immersed in water? Although this underground project requires a large one-time investment, it can last for hundreds of years. Isn't it a good deal? I have asked the Ministry of Industry to make plans a few days ago, and it will be implemented in Lin'an first.
Then it will be rolled out to the whole country."
"Yes, I obey your order."
"The fourth point is also very good. Dredging the West Lake, repairing scenic spots, and building a landscape centered on the West Lake. Clearing the water chestnuts in the lake to keep the lake clean; replanting flowers and trees on both sides of the West Lake and other landscapes; protecting the water quality of the West Lake from pollution, strictly
Implementing the ban on protecting the environment of West Lake, prohibiting people from littering, planting water chestnuts, and washing horses, so as not to pollute the lake water. The vegetation is moist and the fish and birds are happy. I seem to have seen a new scenic spot of West Lake."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do it."
"Well, I agree with all the above points. You need to reflect on it as you proceed. All plans will not be perfect and must be revised at any time. In addition, you need to remember that the plans you make must be implementable, so you need to first
Investigate clearly and study carefully, so that you will not blindly engage in it. In urban development, I have one more request, that you must achieve sustainable development while developing."
“What does sustainable development mean?”
I know they didn’t understand that this term only appeared in the twentieth century. I explained: “The so-called sustainable development means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. I
To give a simple example, there is a pond with a lot of fish in it. If we only know how to catch fish every day, will we feel that life is okay and we can have enough food and clothing for three meals a day? However, our descendants
Suddenly one day I found that the fish had been eaten, so what should they eat?"
The two people present reacted quickly: "You can't just eat, you have to raise fish."
"Very well, the fish in the pond are limited resources, so while we are developing and utilizing these limited resources, we also need to protect and even regenerate them so that our future generations can grow. To put it simply, we can't just look at them.
For immediate benefits, resources must be used rationally. We cannot eat the food of our ancestors and cut off the path of our descendants."
Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty is wise."
For future generations with increasingly scarce resources, countries are paying more and more attention to sustainable development. However, in the Song Dynasty, this was one of the too avant-garde concepts.
Unlike Wen Tianxiang, the potential commentator had long been accustomed to my "fresh" remarks. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered and followed Wen Tianxiang: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."
I looked at Qian Speaker quietly, paused for a moment and said, "Qian Ai Qing, although you were recommended by Grand Master Jia, it can be seen from this memorial that you are still very talented."
I don't know why I suddenly mentioned Jia Sidao, but I felt a little uneasy: "The emperor has given me the reward."
