After managing the level of official approval, Liu Xing knew that it was far from enough.

Because many people with shrewd minds may still find many ways to rack their brains to exploit loopholes.

There are thousands of tricks, but Liu Xing knows that as long as he focuses on one root cause, he can control all the tricks of those who have a thief's heart and a thief's guts.

This trick is that the casino prohibits more opening.

One person, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, you were only allowed to open one casino at most. Just let you open a casino, you don't need to plant trees in the daytime and enjoy the shade.

And for those who open casinos, Liu Xing also made additional birth restrictions.

In addition to the official eunuchs, the three clans are not allowed to open casinos, and those who have committed adultery are not allowed to open casinos, officials who have been involved in the crime are not allowed to open casinos, generals who have quit the army and officers of the seventh rank or above are not allowed to open casinos, and people who are engaged in industries such as silver trumpets and money banks are not allowed to open casinos.

These four are not allowed to open, and the first three are easy to understand. But the fourth, even Liang Xing was stunned after hearing it and asked: "Taifu, why are people who are engaged in silver and money banks not allowed to open it?" ”

Hearing his question, Liu Xing smiled coldly and said: "Business needs a lot of money to support, and there will definitely be many gamblers who are like Zhu Qi's face and pledge themselves to exchange money." If it is a bank account and a money bank, he must have taken the opportunity to get out the usury set for the master. Because only if they have enough money in their hands can they do that kind of illegal thing. ”

Liu Xing still didn't understand enough, but Liang Xing understood.

It turns out that this is so that the people who run the casino do not have strong money to back them up, so they can only find more ways to run them well and ensure that they do not lose money. At the same time, Liu Xing will definitely follow up with a trick to use the silver number and the money bank as a guarantee to restrain the gambling owners.

Sure enough, Liang Xing thought of it. Liu Xing said it immediately.

In order to open a casino, you must have a sufficient security deposit. The amount of this guarantee is calculated based on one tael of silver per capita of the local population. Per capita, not the number of households.

In other words, if you want to open a casino in a small county town with 1,000 households, according to the calculation of five people per household, you must first prepare at least 5,000 taels of silver as a guarantee.

It's just a guarantee, it's not enough. Apply to the casino to get approved. First of all, those who want to open a casino have to deposit a business registration fund worth at least 10,000 taels of silver in the silver number designated by the imperial court.

Why do you have to let people deposit money before they are allowed to apply to open a casino? Liu Xing's answer is: In case he meets a high roller, he will win all his money with a lot of money. He can't afford it, what if he runs away or defaults?

The registration deposit of at least 10,000 taels of silver is the money that prevents the casino owner from paying the final guarantee when the gambler wins in the future.

In fact, Liu Xing didn't say more, but Liang Xing and Lei Zhen knew each other and smiled. Tacitly.

What is this to do? On the surface, Liu Xing seems to allow open casinos and public gambling, but in fact, the capital of those who want to open casinos has become huge, so that many people can't afford to open casinos.

What will happen in the end, it will only stipulate that there will be three or five casinos in a county, and in the end, I am afraid that only one can be opened. The rest will give up because of the lack of operating capital.

What about the money that was handed over to the imperial court to make the silver number? Judging from the instructions given by Liu Xing to Zhao Ding, it must have been used for a long time for the turnover and operation of those silver horns, which actually accounted for the vast majority of the imperial court's share capital.

It is equivalent to the casino owner not wanting a penny of interest. Send 15,000 taels of silver to the imperial court's silver trumpet for circulation. The silver number takes their money and lends it out to support the development of other serious businesses and earn interest. started a business without capital.

There are 420 counties in the Northern Dynasties, and even if a casino opens in one county, it will first send more than 6 million taels of silver to the imperial court silver number for turnover. In this way, the originally poor imperial court is no longer short of money at least in the silver number......

Liu Xing can think of taking money from the pockets of which casino owners to solve the problem of the shortage of real money and silver in the silver number bank, and naturally he can also think that someone will find a way to turn around and take money from the silver number to open a casino.

So. When Lei Zhen and Liang Xing looked at each other and smiled, Liu Xing immediately added: People who are in debt are not allowed to apply to open casinos, no matter which money bank and silver number money they owe, they are not allowed.

Such an addition made Liang Xing and Lei Zhen couldn't help but sneer completely.

"Taifu. You're letting the horses run and not feeding the grass! Sneering, Liang Xing said this.

Lei Zhen also answered on the side: "Hehe, only in and out, Taifu treats the gambling industry, it's really an iron rooster!" ”

After listening to the words of the two, Liu Xing's face turned pale: "If I don't make an iron rooster, those people will take the money of the court to trap the people's fat and people's ointment." If he wants to make money from the people of the Great Song Dynasty with a lot of profits, he can only come up with enough capital first, and he is not allowed to borrow funds from my court......"

It seems that the gambling industry can already squeeze out a lot of people who want to make a lot of money and have the kind of dream of getting rich overnight.

But what Lei Zhen, Liang Xing, and even everyone present didn't expect was that Liu Xing's practice of treating the gambling industry as soybean meal and constantly squeezing it was just the beginning.

When everyone was snickering, Liu Xing quickly added a few after a short thought.

First, the casino margin shall not exceed 20% of the gambler's winnings, not including the gambling capital.

In other words, when a gambler enters a casino, how much money he carries with him is counted as a gambling book. When winning money and leaving, for example, a gambler comes with ten taels and leaves with twenty taels, the casino can only charge 20% of the 10 taels won by the gambler.

Liu Xing's intention is very obvious, not to let all gamblers enter the casino, as before, they will be pumped constantly. In the end, no matter how much money gamblers win, they will actually be pumped and siphoned off by the casino.

And once the gambler loses, the casino does not bear half the responsibility at all, as if opening a casino is like this, everything is as it should be......

Second, casinos are not allowed to repeatedly rake and increase revenue in any form in disguise. For example, if a pot of tea is sold outside for 200 yuan, the upper limit in the casino shall not exceed 300 yuan. Casinos are allowed to recruit staff to wait, but the waiter fee should be set by the local supervisor and checked monthly and sampling.

To prevent casinos from arbitrarily raising prices in their premises, so as to take money from gamblers, Liu Xing's move is also to curb possible price hikes......

Thirdly, the waiters employed by the casino must be reviewed by the relevant department and the yamen, and a practicing license is issued before they are allowed to work in the casino. It is forbidden for any casino to employ or accept employees and gamblers under the age of 16.

Fourth, all casinos are required to settle daily and pay a tax of three percent of their operating income. The relevant yamen dispatches personnel to supervise the business income throughout the process, and only counts the income, not the capital.

That is to say, a casino may have 10,000 taels of capital every day, but at the end of this day, a total of 100,000 taels of gambling funds have been generated, so he will collect 30,000 taels of taxes according to his 100,000 taels or 30,000 taels. (To be continued.) )
