Duwei basically left the gambling business to Mader... He had no choice. Although he was leisurely, he was strictly controlled by the ban. He could not leave the castle to inspect his gambling business.
On the other hand, Mader, the former groom, can be said to have completely improved his status now! Originally, this "Master Steward" who was sent to the Luo Lin family's territory along with the disgraced young master, everyone knows that he is a former groom.
The top leader of the family servants here is the old housekeeper. Although Mad, an outsider, has the title of general manager, he has always been just a polished commander.
Things are different now! He is the chief steward of Master Du Wei! He is in charge of the gambling business of the entire Luo Lin family plain and half of the province of Kote!
Now whenever Mudd goes out, the bosses of major casinos almost always send people to greet the manager with great enthusiasm. No matter where Mudd goes out, there will be a bunch of people from the gambling industry following behind him.
Just waiting and hoping that when Mr. Mudd is happy, something will leak out from his fingers. Then, when Mr. Mudd eats meat, everyone can also drink some soup.
Under Duwei's instruction, Mader once pretended to casually reveal the compensation rules of several football matches, and as expected, the casino owners who gambled on the outside made a small fortune.
Du Wei knew how to be a good person. Although the so-called exclusive rights allowed Du Wei to monopolize the industry in name, secretly, there were still a large number of people following suit.
Even in the previous life, underground gambling syndicates could not be eradicated.
Du Wei didn't want to be blamed for leading the trend of pornography, gambling and drugs in Luolin Plain. Since blockage cannot be stopped, the only way is to guide it!
Du Wei slapped his head and made a decision immediately! Starting from today, all gambling businesses in surrounding cities will be suspended! Du Wei wants to rectify it!
It can be said that "Young master talks, Madhu breaks his leg."
Du Wei patiently conducted an urgent three-day expedited training for Mad, and no matter how much the poor former groom could understand, he taught poor Mad a lot of things.
As for those who don’t understand, Mader can only slowly study and figure it out on his own on the road.
First of all, Master Du Wei said that from now on, when gambling on football, you must never say "bet"! The young master has come up with a strange thing that can be sold publicly before every football game. Although the results of the test match are the same, the result of the game is still the same.
The pattern is slightly different.
"From now on, we are no longer a gambling house that accepts bets! We are a store that sells products! What we sell is called...football lottery!" When he said this, Du Wei's expression was extremely serious,
It was even a bit sacred. After a pause, the young master added: "From now on, we are not allowed to say 'gambling'! What we do is not called gambling, but... legal gambling!"
As for legality, Du Wei made the simplest standard: 10% of each profit should be donated to local governing bodies!
All right!
No matter how much Mud knew, he could only get into a carriage and take a few servants with him, and he ran on the road of Luolin Plain, traveling between various nearby towns, preparing to do the "football lottery" that the young master said.
Buy and sell.
By the way, before setting off, Mader couldn't help but ask one more question: "Master, since we plan to open a shop for business...then our shop must have a name."
"Football Lottery Center!" Du Wei answered simply.
Therefore, in the future, it is expected that our Mr. Mader General Manager will have an additional title on his head: Supervisor of the Football Lottery Center!
The second thing Du Wei told Mader was... Du Wei was preparing to make a huge adjustment to the current "league"!
It can be said that so far in the league, all teams and players still come from the thousand guards beside the castle. And now, the soldiers' training period is almost over.
If these soldiers were allowed to continue to play football all day long and neglect their military training, then Du Wei was worried that the old butler might sue him again in a letter to the imperial capital.
So...Duwei is ready to establish a real league!
The current castle guard army only retains the structure of the next team. Duwei asked Mader to travel to several cities and will form a team in each city! Now the game of football is almost popular throughout Romania.
Lin Pingyuan, it must not be difficult to find a dozen or twenty people in every small city who are good at football.
After that, teams from each place can start playing games according to the league format... This idea makes Mader extremely excited!
According to the calculation of the list listed by Du Wei, this so-called league is still very profitable at present... First of all, the players in Roland's era did not ask for high signing fees and wages. Most of them were farmers, handicraftsmen,
Players composed of carpenters, blacksmiths, miners, and even barbers are very happy to play football occasionally. Each player can get one or two gold coins as a reward every month, which is enough to make them excited to fly around the game.
Ran away.
The expected huge revenue from the football lottery is enough to cover the meager wages of these players.
However, Du Wei did not give up his attempt to extract the maximum profit... He even asked Mad to find the largest fur goods merchant in a nearby city... That merchant had long supplied various fur goods to the Luo Ling family.
Du Wei promised that in the future "Football League", players in local cities will wear uniform clothes when they compete... The name of the fur merchant's shop will be written on each player's clothes!
Considering the popularity of this game now and every time there is a game, the crowd of onlookers will fill the municipal square... Such popularity...
The fur goods owner generously paid Du Wei 500 gold coins as the "naming rights" fee for the next year.
In this way, the official name of this city's team became "Luolin Plain Emerald Town Old Kroner Fur Store Football Team"!
Du Wei sold the naming rights of the first team in the league in front of Mader. Then, Old Mader’s job was to find a way to sell the naming rights of the twelve future teams in the league to local players.
Those wealthy businessmen.
All these things put together... Mader almost began to look at the young master she had raised since childhood with almost admiring eyes!
Who said our young master is an idiot?
Have you ever seen an idiot who can earn tens of thousands of gold coins just by talking?
Old Marder almost broke his leg running. He ran almost all over a dozen towns and cities in Luolin Plain from south to north and from east to west! Twelve teams were finally established, and the naming rights of the twelve teams were
Finally all were sold.
As for any weird names like "XX Jewelry Store Team" or "XX Weapon Shop Team" among them, Du Wei ignored them all... He was very satisfied with the thousands of gold coins that Mader brought back. There are twelve teams in total.
Sold for five thousand gold coins.
"This is just the first year, my dear Mad. In the future, when our league is successful, you won't have to run for the naming rights every year. Those businessmen will come to you with boxes of gold coins to beg you! That one
At that time, I probably couldn't even buy the naming rights of a team with a few thousand gold coins!" Du Wei looked at the loyal servant who had been running outside for a month and couldn't help but be a little moved, so he decided to give this loyal servant
A little more reward.
"My dear Mad...are you interested in serving as the first Football Association President of the Rolling Plains Football Association?"
In this way, in addition to the titles of "General Manager" and "Director of Football Lottery Center", Mader has another magical-sounding title on his head: Chairman of the Football Association!
Although he still couldn't fully understand what this "President of the Football Association" was, Mader was still very touched by the young master's regard for him, so he readily accepted the young master's suggestion.
Du Wei was obviously in a good mood.
After all, the five thousand gold coins that Mud brought back were enough to solve his urgent need.
The football league has not yet started, and the income from the football lottery has not yet been reflected. The naming fee of 5,000 gold coins seems to be the only working capital in Du Wei's hands.
Damn Solskjaer...that guy burned thousands more gold coins and still made no progress.
With the thousands of gold coins that Mader brought back, Du Wei could breathe a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of his happiness, Du Wei took some of the presidents of our Football Association to visit his new invention.
At the place behind the castle where Duwei specializes in developing fireworks, Mader once again looked at his young master with reverence...
Although, he still doesn't know what the young master is up to this time.
The thing in front of me seems to be a huge basket.
Well, yes, it is indeed a big basket. It is big enough for three or five people to stand in it. The edge of the basket is very high, about the height of a person's waist. Standing in it feels like sitting on an open carriage.
.
And above...a huge spherical thing sewn with more than a dozen pieces of cowhide, floating gently on top of the basket!
Yes, that’s right, a huge sphere!
A furnace below is working hard to bake the balloon, baking the gas in the balloon.
The flame burned very brightly, and Du Wei used a little magic at this stage... This was a fire-based magic he had just learned. Solskjaer came up with some additives that could further enhance the burning effect of the fire.
class of things.
"This thing is called a hot air balloon! My dear Made." Duwei smiled happily.
This is the result of a month of hard work! Although during this period, nearly fifty pieces of high-quality cowhide were damaged... Those cowhides were all bought at a very low price from the leather goods merchant who first purchased the naming rights of the team.
.
Du Wei ignored Mad's blank look and briefly introduced his new invention.
The former groom, the current steward, the director of the Football Lottery Center, and the chairman of the Football Association, Mr. Mader, already felt that he was about to faint. He looked at the young master and stammered: "Master...you, you mean, this thing,
Can it fly? You mean 'fly'? Did I hear that right?"
"You heard that right, my dear Mad!" Du Wei smiled: "So, now I give you an honor! Come with me to experience the first test flight! This is a historic moment! You are the first
A human being who can fly into the sky without the help of any magic or other magical creatures!!"
What happened next was like a dream to Old Mad!
Duwei cut the rope tied to the basket with a knife, and the huge buoyancy of the hot air balloon slowly brought up the basket below and Duweimad in the basket together!
When the basket left the ground little by little and got higher and higher... everyone stopped breathing and didn't dare to make even the slightest sound. They just stared up at the sky with their eyes wide open and their mouths widened.
Duwei and Mader are getting higher and higher...
Some people even forgot to wipe the water out of their mouths!
For people who live in an era without any aircraft, this scene is really... shocking!!
It wasn't until the hot air balloon carried Duwei and Mader to almost the same height as the top of the castle that the craftsmen on the ground let out a huge cheer! Everyone knelt on the ground and praised the great master with the most pious voices.
Gods...
Compared with the cheering people on the ground, Mader only felt that her legs were now so weak that she could hardly stand!
It was the first time in his life that he "flyed" to the sky. Mad's legs had been shaking since he left the ground. His face was pale, his eyes were as big as bull's eyes, his teeth were chattering, and his hands were tight.
Grasping the edge of the basket...
"How's it going? My dear Marde..." Duwei looked at his feet...the hot air balloon was floating slowly. From this height, he could see the scenery around the castle, the mountains in the distance, and the forest nearby...at a glance
Nothing left!
"Isn't this scene unforgettable..." Du Wei was intoxicated.
"Master..." Mad swallowed hard and asked cautiously: "This... I don't know how to say it anymore... This, this is simply amazing... But, what I want to ask is...
We have flown so high now...but how should we land?"
"..." At this time, Du Wei's expression also changed. He took a deep look at Mad, and then said with a strange expression: "Oops... I only know how to fly... but I don't know how to make this thing land."
Ma De: "Master... you are truly the most talented person I have ever seen...%※%-;※...-;(...※"
Du Wei: "Mad! You vomited on me!"
The people below started to look at each other after being excited: "Master, when will they come down? It's almost time to have dinner, right?"
Under the setting sun, the hot air balloon floats higher and farther in the infinite sunset glow...
What a wonderful world! Isn’t it?
