Chapter 108: The Dragon and Tiger Society (5)

The city of Tokyo is very lively after the festival.

Perhaps the word hilarious is a bit out of place at this point, and it seems more accurate to describe it as crazy or crazy.

Tie Xinyuan thought that the Ichthyosaurus Dance of the Shangyuan Festival was already the most indulgent moment in Tokyo, and it wasn't until the martial arts had just begun that he realized that the Ichthyosaurus Dance was just a grand ball.

I don't know why, the Song people have a habit of gambling in their bones, and a martial arts move that can gamble completely plunged the city of Tokyo into madness.

In today's Tokyo City, what people talk about the most is this martial arts that has completed the basic selection, Yang Huaiyu, Hu Yanshou, Cao Fang, Shi Zhong, Gao Yanzan and a group of generals have all become popular figures to seize the head of the martial arts.

However, the real focus of everyone's concern is not on these people, everyone knows that these people are here to win the martial arts leader, and their martial arts competition scene will not be too good-looking.

When it was time to win the championship, a tiger-like man was chased and beaten by a weak hen-like figure, and the people of Tokyo had long been accustomed to it.

Wuju was actually a big joke in the Great Song Dynasty, and the civil officials didn't care about it, and they even thought that it would be a great insult to put the scientific examination and the martial arts examination side by side.

In the past, the liberal arts and martial arts were held together, but later, for some reason, they were not held together, one after the autumn harvest and the other in the winter.

What the people are concerned about is the Kansai Iron Lion, Hezhou Longchuan, Cangzhou Meng Tiefo, Hebei Ma Yan, Gaizhou boxer Liang Shimeng, the sharpshooter in the Xinhua Army, and the newly rising Lin Jiaochuan, known as the Iron Horse Silver Gun.

These are the people who gamble in the casinos. Everyone has different odds, and everyone has a huge amount of money in their name, just waiting to see which one wins, and then running to abuse their master.

Because of the iron heart, the people of Tokyo have seen something similar to the "Book of Horses" for the first time, and the current people of Tokyo can be said to be very familiar with these masters, age, height, and weight. The length of the arms, the length of the legs, the martial arts that you are good at, how much strength you have, what records you can have in the past, who you are taught by, how many spouses you have, how many children you have, the cheats of "Wuju" are all clearly stated.

There are even good deeds who even count how much these people eat every day. How much wine you drank, whether you went into the Qinglou to play, whether you were sick were all recorded in detail, and then compiled into a booklet and sold for money. It is said to be very good.

This trend was so violent that when the imperial historian wanted to stop the trend of gambling that harms others and himself, he was immediately stiffened back by the officials of the household department.

After they took out the account books and expected income and invited the Manchu civil and military forces and the emperor to look at them, although there were still many officials who raised objections. At one time, the argument was extremely fierce, however, in the end. That huge number still made the imperial court, which had an empty treasury, choose to acquiesce.

Do not support, do not oppose, this is the attitude of the imperial court!

"700,000? How can there be so much gain? Emperor Zhao Zhen looked at the music in front of him again, frowned, and asked Yu Qian, the servant of the household department.

Yu Qian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this buying trend is not only spreading in Tokyo now, Luoyang, Xijing, also started the same trend, if it weren't for the rush of time, Shuzhong, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, these Tongdu Dayi may not be spared."

As far as the minister knows, even Nanjing, Liao State, has the same handicap.

With such a huge profit, the ministers will naturally not allow those casinos to monopolize it, so the household department has specially dispatched commissioners to each casino this time, and seventy percent of the dividends will be handed over to the state treasury, so it is really impossible to explain the problem with only 700,000 yuan.

Not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, even Weichen's ten-year-old son actually sold the iron lion for two dollars to win. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded when he heard this, and then turned his gaze to Bao Zheng and asked: "Aiqing, gambling is the most eye-catching, there will be sporadic riots, I know this, I just want to ask if there is a problem with Tokyo's city defense and peacetime?" ”

Bao Zheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen does not agree with the country's military moves, and Weichen still insists on this."

Since His Majesty asked about the defense of Tokyo and the bomb pressure, this is the duty of Wei Chen, the people of Tokyo have always been kind, even if there is a conflict, it is only a spiritual occurrence, and it will not cause a catastrophe.

If Your Majesty can send a Japanese army to assist Wechen in governing Tokyo, Tokyo will definitely be safe as usual. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "This time I bowed my head to the public opinion and approved this gamble, since Aiqing thinks that he has the ability to control the situation, then, the Japanese army Geba's department will be subordinate to your Kaifeng Mansion, and the Tokyo city defense will return to the headquarters after the dust settles." ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhao Zhen saw the two courtiers walking out of the hall, frowned and picked up the chapter again, read it again and put it down, picked up a beautifully printed "Hero's Score" from the table and flipped through it, and after reading a few pages, he threw it on the table again, knocked on the table with his knuckles and asked, "Is this thing really from the hands of that little bastard?" ”

The incognito Wang Wanmei smiled and said: "It's true, my majesty, although that little bastard sold something similar to this "Hero's Genealogy" to more than 70 printing shops with the help of the little lady of the Su family, he wanted to hide it from my royal eyes and ears, and it was too tender." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled dumbly, leaned back on the chair and said, "So, I haven't made a fortune yet, he has already made a fortune first?" ”

Wang gradually smiled and said: "Two, my majesty, he sold this kind of booklet twice, the first time was made up casually by himself, and the latter was that he put together the news sorted out by other people's shops, and then selected a booklet, and sold it again, and it is said that the price is higher than the first one." ”

"Hehe, what a little bastard who is greedy for money, I wait, once this little bastard participates in the scientific examination after he becomes an adult, I will place him in the household department as soon as possible, it is really a waste that such a clear and clear ability to make money cannot be used by the country.

Hey? Didn't I give them a brand? His family shouldn't be short of money, how could he be so greedy for money? ”

Wang gradually saw that the emperor was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Wang's daughter does not allow anyone to get involved in the manufacturing brand given by His Majesty.

She said that the reason why the dynasty banned everyone from brewing wine, smelting iron, and drying salt was to prepare enough state money for state affairs.

If the Tie family relies on His Majesty's grace to wantonly brew wine, smelt iron, and dry salt, it is not right, the Tie family has more profits, and the dynasty will have less profits. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen sat up straight and said "oh" and said, "Wang Dan's family style is still there!" It's just transferred to the Tie family. ”

Wang gradually smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you must not have imagined how the Tie family used the manufacturing brand you gave to make money. "The king gradually sold a pass.

"If you don't partner with others to do those profiteering transactions, how can his family make money? Didn't you say last time that his home-brewed wine was sour and unpalatable? ”

Wang gradually said with a smile: "His family gave a clear promise to the twelve main stores in Tokyo, that is, the Wang family's manufacturing brand is only used for their own small shops to make wine and sell themselves, and it will definitely not disrupt the existing liquor sales pattern in Tokyo." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled dumbly and said: "Their mother and son did this, and the twelve main stores naturally want to give generous gifts to each other, and this money should be earned."

Still, I value this booklet even more! “

Zhao Zhen picked up the "Hero's Genealogy" and slammed it on the ground as he spoke, and it could be seen that this time the emperor was really angry.

"My martial arts are for the Great Song Dynasty to select real warriors, not to compete whose generals are brave and brave.

Yang Huaiyu, Hu Yanshou, Cao Fang, Shi Zhong, Gao Yanzan, these anointed children, after being full of food and clothing, began to turn their attention to official positions, which is really hateful and annoying! ”

The emperor's words mentioned were all children of high-ranking families, Wang Jian naturally didn't dare to interject at will, just bent down and waited for the emperor to cut it himself.

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth were pulled up obliquely, full of sarcasm.

"Since they are all aspiring to serve the country, why don't I satisfy their kindness, Wang Gradually, pass on my will, and the martial arts selected this time, regardless of whether they have obtained the qualification to confer official status, will go to the northwest border for three years......"

"Your Majesty, others are easy to say, like Yang Huaiyu and others themselves are going to the border, naturally there will be no complaints, but Gao ......"

Zhao Zhen sneered: "No matter what his surname is, even if it is surnamed Zhao, he will give me three years after the border land, and then talk about anything else." ”

Wang gradually hurriedly took two steps back, knelt on the ground and responded: "The slave and maid will go and inform the secretary and supervisor of the draft order, and then please put red on the matter, and then deliver the ......."

"No need, those people can reach the sky, and there are many yamen who pass by, and it is inevitable that there will be changes, and they will be issued directly in accordance with the decree, and they will say that this is my grace!"

Wang gradually withdrew from the main hall after hurriedly, until he disappeared out of the emperor's sight, then he breathed a sigh, took out a few precious small jade artifacts from his arms, sighed and said to himself: "A few mothers, it's not that Wang gradually accepted the gift and didn't do anything, but His Majesty's will has been decided, and Wang gradually has no choice, you can worship the Buddha well, I hope that your sons and nephews can come back from the northwest border alive." ”

Yang Huaiyu crushed the cup in his hand with a click, and the water in the cup splashed everywhere, and he was busy helping Su Mei wipe the water stains that fell on his chest, regardless of the iron heart source that was splashed with warm water.

Even after receiving a slap in the face, Yang Huaiyu still sat back in his seat without blushing and without a beat, and said with a smile: "My strength is growing these days, and I can't control my strength." ”

Tie Xinyuan looked at the embarrassed and angry Su Mei, casually wiped a handful of water beads on his face and said: "You hurry up and get the leader, and then you will get married, if you continue like this, maybe a big knife will fall on my head next time." (To be continued.) )
