Chapter 127: Three-way involvement
Yelu took a sip of wine and said to Bai Lian, who was standing in front of him: "Director, you say every day that it is hard to make money, and now you are in charge of the casino, it is not hard, right?" The money there is the same as if it was picked up for nothing. β
Bai Lian sighed: "Lang Jun, it's actually not that easy. For the average gambler, making their money is simple. But there is another kind of person who is born a scoundrel and is good at exploiting all kinds of loopholes. In the last few days, there has been a group of people who have been cheating-"
When Yelu Buhua heard this, his face changed, and he slapped the table and said, "Gambling money depends on luck, how can you cheat?" Could it be that there are people in the casino who collude inside and outside to eat inside and out? Like such people, don't be soft! β
Bai Lian said: "No, someone in the casino did this, didn't they steal Lang Jun's money?" How could I spare them? It's the pai gow and mahjong that I recently learned from the Southern Dynasties, and our people don't know how to play and can't see the way. The rules are like that, as long as a few people are partnered, they can cooperate with each other and win money from strangers at the same table. Because of this, those who like to play these things have gone to the opposite field. β
Yelu Buhua said: "Well, the Nanren's gameplay is really fancy, and I don't understand it too well." - No, how did the opposite field be prevented? If they have any methods, you can learn them. β
Bai Lian shook his head: "I only know that there are a few groups of people who are deceitful in the opposite field, and they have beaten them a few times, and they will never go again." β
Yelu didn't spend a long time thinking about it, but he didn't know the essentials, and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, then we don't want these games here, just use dice and copper coins." These gambling methods are simple, and they are the most enjoyable! Besides, my people can control the bets. β
Bai Lian arched his hand: "The small one also has this intention." Anyway, everyone has a share of the gambling money, and if they want to go to the opposite side, they can go to the opposite side, and we are happy to be quiet. Let the people of the Volcano Army have a headache, and it will not lose our money. β
There are two casinos here, open across from each other. One was managed by the Khitans who were selected by Yelu Buhua, and the other was managed by the Song people who were selected by Du Zhongxiao. The share capital of the two families is about the same, the Khitan people account for 40% of the field managed by the Song Dynasty, and the Song people account for 40% of the Khitan field, and the profits are divided according to this. Business management is not the strength of the Khitan people, Yelu does not spend it must be opened by himself, just want to take advantage of it as much as possible.
Compared with the field managed by the Song people, the field of Khitan is not so sincere, and sometimes the casino feels that it has lost too much and will manipulate the results. The field in the Song Dynasty was relatively fair, and Du Zhongxiao instructed those who managed the field to make money by working the drinks provided, not just gambling money. The profits of gambling money are shared with the Khitans, and the food and drink are earned by themselves. At the end of the day, treat this as a service industry and don't use your brains on the bets.
The business of the two fields is almost the same, people from the north like to enter the field of the Khitan people, and people from the Central Plains like to enter the Song people, and the boundaries are clear. The locals who know the details are still willing to go to the field of the Song people.
For Yelu Buhua, the Song people's field business is better, the Song people make more money, and they will make up for it by doing some tricks in their own casinos. As long as you make money, why do you want to do business with the Song people?
reported the situation in the casino, Bai Lian said: "Lang Jun, I have noticed that some gamblers are not good in the past few days. There are mountains of money in the casino, and it is inevitable that some people will have to think otherwise. We're outside the city, and we're not guarded by soldiers, so if a thief comes late at nightβ"
Hearing this, Yelu Buhua smiled and waved his hand: "The director is too worried." All the generals who lead troops in the vicinity of this dynasty have a share capital here, which one dares to fight the idea here! The Song people don't have to worry there, the share capital is from the Hedong Road Strategy, and the leopards who eat the bear's heart dare to rob their money! β
Bai Lian stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Lang Jun, there are also thieves in the west!" The single-wheel village is only more than 100 miles away, and the fast horse can go back and forth in one day and one night. If the party generals there send troops to come, they will not be able to guard against it. β
"Then if they come, if they have the guts, I will give them all the money here! Director, you are a businessman and do not know about military affairs. Now this dynasty is at war with the Western Thieves, and they have a bad brain, and they are coming to attack Tanglong Town! Yuan Hao is a pig's brain, and he also knows that he can't go to war with the two countries at the same time. If the party people grab this place with the front foot, the Song army will attack them with the back foot, and they can support it? β
Bai Lian let out a sigh: "Little confused, I forgot about this section." In this way, the party members are stricter than us in restraining their troops. β
Yelu Buhua said: "That's nature, they will never dare to send troops here." β
Although Yuan Hao is arrogant, he still knows his strength. When the war with the Song Dynasty began, he did everything possible to stammer with the Khitan and tried his best to stabilize them. When he started a war with the Khitan, he hurriedly called Song a vassal and stabilized this head. Do everything possible to avoid a war against both countries at the same time. The Song Dynasty and the Khitan defended each other, and they could not reach an agreement to jointly attack the Khitan, giving him room to fight vertically.
Both the Khitan and Song dynasties believed that the strength of the two countries could overpower the party, and if they helped the other side to attack, it would be tantamount to taking advantage of the fire. Therefore, the Song Dynasty went to war with the party, and the Khitan watched from the sidelines and profited from it. The Khitan went to war, and the Song Dynasty also watched from the sidelines and got a chance to breathe.
Bai Lian thought about it, this is indeed the truth, and now the party members are only afraid that they are more nervous than themselves. But I still feel a little wrong. Said to Yelu Buhua: "According to Langjun's words, the officers and soldiers of the Western Thieves will definitely not dare to come, but they are afraid that there will be a small group of thieves, taking advantage of their geographical advantagesββ"
Yelu Buhua snorted coldly: "What are the small thieves afraid of, we have so much money here, do you think no one is watching!" According to what I discussed with Du Zhijun, our soldiers and horses came here, and they couldn't wear helmets and armor, and they couldn't use long soldiers, but there were still people! β
Bai Lian was stunned: "It turns out that there are our own people, why don't the little ones know?" β
Yelu Buhua said in a deep voice: "You just need to take care of the casino, and it's best not to know what you shouldn't know!" - Do you think there is no one here in the southern country? Let me tell you, in addition to Tanglong Town, there are also their soldiers here! Moreover, it is a soldier from Fuzhou! β
Bai Lian was shocked and didn't dare to ask again. Come to think of it, this kind of place is located outside the city, it is simply a lure for thieves to rob it, how can it be defenseless? However, this is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and there can be no Khitan soldiers and horses, and the two sides guarding here have hidden their identities. Most of the Khitan soldiers and horses pretended to be merchants from other places, wandering in casinos and various inns. And Song Lai's soldiers dressed up as supervisors and ran the shops here.
Du Zhongxiao's arrangement is to separate the inside and outside of the city, the city is a place for simple business, and the outside of the city is to accommodate all kinds of messy business. It's like a sewer, there has to be a place for all kinds of garbage. The inside and outside of the city are separated, and the Volcano Army is separated from Tanglong Town, so as to make use of the commercial convenience of Tanglong Town as much as possible, and avoid the chaos here from affecting the mainland.
This is also in line with Yelu's intentions, he makes money to spend, what is the meaning of hiding in the city and concentrating on business? This kind of place outside the city is what he likes. After living here for a while, I learned the way of doing business in Tanglong Town, and I didn't have to be so troublesome when I went back to Dongshengzhou to learn the same. The conditions in Dongshengzhou are much better than those in Tanglong Town, and when it is built there, I am afraid that it will be more prosperous here.
What is Bustle? Jerod has a lot of money in his eyes. In Du Zhongxiao's view, it is to use commerce to develop industry, and the Volcano Army and its hinterland agriculture and industry can develop as soon as possible, so as to last for a long time.
