The drunkard does not mean to drink.

When Liu Xing finished speaking, everyone present understood.

It turned out that Liu Xing gambled with Zhu Qimian for money, not really just wanting to have fun, but wanting to capture the old people and play a trick.

Let Zhu Qimian win first, and win all the time, when he can almost win all the gold and silver in Liu Xing's hand, Liu Xing will come to the fatal blow again, and directly win all the money in Zhu Qimian's hand with a direct backhand, turning him into a penniless poor bastard.

When Zhu Qimian lay on the gambling table, a gambler, everyone who often went in and out of the casino knew that it was a gambler's last resort to pay off his debts.

However, in today's Northern Dynasties, it is expressly forbidden to buy and sell human beings in any form, and as long as the human beings are bought and sold, it is a crime. At this point, Liu Xing first let everyone see the casino industry. Even if there is no subjective violation of the law, it objectively creates many reasons for the inevitable violation of the law.

And more importantly, when Liu Xing finally revealed the result of this gambling game, it directly became a warning.

Whether it is Tian Cewei or Wu Yingge, they are all Liu Xing's henchmen.

If these two have a division, in the future, someone will have to pledge because they lose gambling in the casino and owe debts. It was Liu Xing's face that was lost, and Liu Xing's prestige was damaged.

The most important thing is that once that situation occurs, no one dares to guarantee that the debtor can still keep his oath and maintain absolute loyalty to Liu Xing.

Therefore, Tian Cewei and Wu Yingge will not allow anyone to enter the casino from now on, and Liu Xing directly set up this rule on the spot.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that when they all understood Liu Xing's true intentions. Liu Xing looked around. Lei Zhen, who was standing aside and had just arrived, shouted in front of him.

I said. You remember. ”

It was still a habitual opening, and when Lei Zhen took out his pen and prepared to record, Liu Xing said a new set of rules that everyone present did not expect.

The more historic the civilized country is, the more gambling appears earlier.

Liu Xing clearly remembered that in his previous life, out of curiosity, he had inquired about some relevant information. It turns out that as early as thousands of years ago, there were gambling games of dice rolling in Persia in the Western Regions and Tianzhu in the south.

The earliest ancient Chinese opera "Liubo" is said to have come from the hands of Wu Cao at the end of the Xia Dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, cockfighting and fighting were popular.

It is recorded that King Xuan of Zhou was very fond of cockfighting and was quite proficient in raising chickens and fighting cocks. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the development of social economy, especially the prosperity of the urban commodity economy, gambling activities became popular at all levels of society and in various regions.

Also in that era, a wealthy man surnamed Yu in Daliang not only loved to play games, but also opened a gambling game on the upper floor of the street at home every day to gamble, and gamblers from all over the world came to hear the news.

In the "Historical Records", it is also recorded that Linzi, the capital of Qi State, "is very rich and real, and its people all play the flute and drums, and play the piano to build." Cockfighting lackeys, six games and bows". Although the genre of gaming opera became more diverse during that period. Cockfighting, dogs (running dogs), six games, chess, and pitching pots appear in a row.

In the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to those traditional gambling methods, there were many more Chinese gambling methods. Either way, however, the result is that the banker wins more and the player wins less, and fraud often outweighs genuinely fair betting.

Knowing that this gambling is actually an alternative tradition, Liu Xing also understands that he cannot completely eradicate this bad habit tradition that has been inherited from thousands of years ago, the Spring and Autumn Period.

Since eradication is impossible, the best way to do this is to normalize one. Try to make things that are already bad things as good as possible.

How do you make gambling more beneficial? Liu Xing thought of some of the patterns he had seen and heard in later generations, so he directly said the "Gambling Franchise Law" when he spoke.

Only by using a comprehensive and perfect set of laws to regulate and restrain it, the best way to change the maximum profit from gambling from a black-hearted gambling owner to a society and the court, and then return the profits to the people.

And how does this "gambling monopoly law" regulate gambling?

First, all casinos that want to open in the future must be approved by the local government at least the county government and above, and the Qipin Yamen. Moreover, it cannot just be a yamen to approve and approve, the county government, the patrol department, and the advisory council are only responsible for the preliminary examination.

If you want to get a franchise license, you have to pass the seven-rank official rank and go through the second trial of the four-grade yamen of the state capital, and then you can have the third trial of the political envoy and the patrol envoy, and then report to the governor for permission before you can issue a franchise license.

In this way, anyone who wants to open a casino must register with the governor early. Dare to do evil, dare to use the casino to do illegal things like in the past, Liu Xing firmly believes that the governors he appointed will make those people's heads move at any time.

Second, the casino industry should be standardized and limited. In a county seat, there is only one cockfighting ring, one dog ring, and a casino that integrates other non-animal gambling equipment.

Whether it is a cockfight, a dog running beast, or a gambling equipment in a comprehensive casino, it can only be uniformly produced and issued by the patrol department of the state capital, and all gambling equipment must clearly have an official seal, official seal or inspection seal.

Anyone who makes gambling equipment privately, or grabs some chickens and dogs at will, will go to gamble, that is illegal, and after being caught, he will be punished with a bankrupt family, or thrown directly into the indoctrination camp to fill the side.

In order to prevent people from getting the gambling equipment from the government and then going to the ghosts, these gambling equipment must be sent to the patrol department and the relevant yamen at all levels for review once a month to ensure that they have not been counterfeited or the structure has been changed. At the same time, in addition to the regular monthly inspection, the relevant responsible yamen has the right to enter the casino at any time to check the gambling equipment.

Third, since there are people who approve it, corruption may occur. In order to prevent some people from engaging in corruption in the gambling franchise, Liu Xing has determined a set of methods for examination and approval in other places and review in a third place.

How to approve it in different places? For example, a person in Bianjing City wants to open a gambling house, well, when he goes to apply for approval, he will be the patrol office of Kaifeng Mansion at the beginning. But the real preliminary examination may be arbitrarily drawn by lot, and the officials of the counties near the capital will do it. In this way, no one knows that the county will be drawn to approve the franchise of that gambling house, and naturally there is no way to bribe.

Even if someone is a ghost, he successfully passed the first pass in the approval of the off-site. But when it comes to the second layer, he doesn't want to mess with ghosts unless he is the governor of a certain province. Because the first layer is only cross-county, the second layer is cross-county and then cross-state capital, and it may even be the relevant yamen of the state capital thousands of miles away to be responsible for the secret visit.

Want to send money, so you don't know who to give it to. Even if you have a lot of money and want to spread money to build relationships in a large area first, Liu Xing doesn't believe that there are still people who can build a dirty relationship network for hundreds or thousands of miles.

Of course, these methods may make many people want to send money and have no idea where to start.

But Liu Xing is well aware that there is a situation called "right replacement", that is, a governor in the north greets a prefect in the south, and asks the prefect in the south to approve and allow someone he has received money to open a casino. Then, the prefect in the south also asked him to collect black money, and he went to the prefect in the north to apply for a casino under the system.

In order to prevent this from happening, Liu Xing made a fourth provision: those who are officials are not allowed to open gambling houses within the three clans. All colleagues are not allowed to privately give or accept or talk about the approval of the gambling industry. Once it is found that the dismissal is light, it is not an exaggeration to confiscate family property, three generations of "criminal queens", and even directly cut off the head. (To be continued.) )
