Chapter 115 The Emperor Plays Mahjong

The person in the gambling shop replied: "I went home to play with my wife. Haha. Miss Xiaolin plays casually."

"Go, buddy, I'll take you to see what it means to be happy." Lin Qiaoqiao waved with a smile.

San Dezi looked at the plaque and said again: "Master, this seems to be a gambling house!"

The emperor smiled with great interest and said: "Today, I will also see and see!" He has never been in a gambling house since he grew up.As soon as he stepped in, he suddenly saw the light.

There was no sense of smoky atmosphere at all, nor was there any chaotic shouting.If it weren't for the four big characters Fu Gui Gambling Square written on the plaque, the master and servant would have thought they had entered some kind of private room.Who would decorate the lobby like this.There was not a single guest, only the boys of the gambling house in uniform.There are also bonsai and stone carvings around.The artistic sense went up, and there was the rockery and flowing pool, commonly known as the wealth and feng shui cornucopia.

"Do you want to play in a crowded venue, or alone?" Lin Qiaoqiao turned around and asked.

The emperor replied: "Let's see the crowd first?"

Lin Qiaoqiao led the master and servant to push open a door, which is soundproof.As soon as I pushed the door and went in, there was a lot of chaos.Various ways of playing, unheard of.There is also a bar next to it, where you can order food and drink.However, no spirits are served, only drinks and sake.The emperor looked at all kinds of gambling methods, and his hands were itchy, and he wanted to go up and experience it.However, I still have to be patient, stand on the sidelines, learn the rules first, and know how to play.The emperor looked at it for a while, and at this moment, Lin Qiaoqiao brought a tray of food and drink.

"This cup is cold juice, this cup is room temperature, and this cup is warm. These are some fried snacks, you guys have a try." Lin Qiaoqiao introduced with a smile.

"This is made of potatoes, sliced ​​and deep-fried. This is fried potato chips. I don't know what else was added, but it's so crispy." The emperor tasted it and said to San Dezi.

San Dezi also tasted it and nodded frequently, "Yes, it's just that eating too much of this food is not good for your health. Master still has to avoid it."

The emperor was immediately unhappy, but with good self-control he stopped.San Dezi was about to hand over the handkerchief.Lin Qiaoqiao quickly handed over the soft paper, and the emperor was amazed when he took it.Then, Lin Qiaoqiao led the emperor to visit the mahjong area.I saw that all the mahjong tables in this room were full, and there were people of all ages, and none of them seemed particularly wealthy.The emperor was a little angry, are these people so idle on weekdays?
"This is a free area. You only need to pay five copper coins per person for half a day. There is no winning or losing area here. Most beginners will come here to practice." Lin Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

When the emperor heard this, he was not so angry anymore, and patiently watched a few games from the sidelines.I have a little understanding of the way, the old man who is playing mahjong.It happened that I was in a hurry to urinate, so I got up and turned around to see a rich gentleman.He mistakenly thought he was a beginner, so he got up and gave up his seat.

"Help me draw the cards, I'm in a hurry to urinate," said the old man.

Before the emperor agreed, the old man had already run away, apparently really anxious.

San Dezi said: "How about I come!"

The other three people sitting on the table hurried up.

"Moji Moji."

"Fight or not?"

"Hurry up, I'm going to play cards."

The emperor sat down directly, rolled up the loose sleeves on his arms, and threw the fan to San Dezi.

"Two tubes!"

The emperor immediately shouted: "Touch! A tube."

"Fuck, is there something wrong with you, old man? Isn't your deck of one, two, three, and one good?" Shang Jia, who was about to touch the cards, roared angrily.

San Dezi put his hands on his hips and wanted to go up to fight.

The emperor said: "That's the biggest one, won't you let me touch it? Damn old woman."

"Hurry up and play two more rounds. I have to go to the Lin Family Primary School to pick up my grandson after school."

The emperor had a great time playing. After the old man came back, he might not have won much this afternoon.Unexpectedly, he was not in a hurry to go to the table, and stood aside watching the emperor play cards.

"Little brother, your card skills are good!" the old man praised.

"Brother, I'm playing for the first time today." The emperor replied.

"Are you still playing or not? If you don't play, I won't play for you tomorrow." A poker player said.

The old man said: "Come as soon as the game is over."

After the game was over, the emperor returned the position to the old man.Lin Qiaoqiao also finished talking with the bar counter, so she came over and led the two of them to visit other venues.It turns out that there are no low-end casinos, or that the casinos used to play in the past.Finally, I went to see the big gambling place, the place where poker is played.

"No, pass."

"Follow or not?"

"100 taels, do you dare to follow?"

"Three three, Leopard!"

After the emperor saw it, he shook his head frequently. The gamble here was too big.

After the three of them left the casino, it was almost dark.This day, I ate, drank and had fun, ate street food, and visited brothels and gambling houses. I really learned a lot!
"How are you guys?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked.

"Not bad. This gambling shop is so profitable, won't the county government close it?" the emperor asked.

Lin Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "It's true to make money, and the taxes are not underpaid. It's all clear accounts, and the county government has records. It's a formal business. People like those who gamble, have to pay a deposit before entering the market To prevent them from betting too much and playing rogues because they can’t afford the money in the end. The casino charges platform fees and service fees. Every big table winner, the casino will also take a [-]% profit. And these profits are recorded in the book and will be in the The county government pays the corresponding taxes."

Upon hearing this, the emperor sighed, "It's really rare to pay taxes honestly for such a lucrative business!"

Then, the emperor began to wonder why he couldn't move this wealthy gambling house to Shengjing.No, if you want flowers to bloom everywhere, every city should have them, and that brothel is also good.After thinking about it this way, he can also serve as an intelligence network for himself.After staying at Lin's house for another night, the emperor went back to the county government office and summoned Xiao Ran.

The emperor looked at the young man kneeling there, and the emperor couldn't help but praise him.First-class appearance, deep scheming.Both Qinya Building and Fugui Gambling House are properties under the name of the young man in front of him. The dark guards found out that they were all grown by Xiao Ran himself.The Xiao family is the local snake here, and he can be a second generation ancestor.Or with the help of the Xiao family's influence, there is no need to work so hard.

"The country is easy to fight, but the country is hard to defend!" The emperor sighed.

These two most lucrative jobs are impossible not to attract people's envy, and this young man actually kept it.Then, the emperor gave Xiao Ran a secret order.After talking about the business, the emperor asked again: "Who made the Fengshui pool in the lobby of the gambling house?"

Xiao Ran was devoted to protecting Lin Qiaoqiao, and did not confess Lin Qiaoqiao.Instead, he replied: "It's the kid who asked Brother Jin to help."

The county magistrate quickly explained the details of the Jin family.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested.Then he asked: "Can it be built?"
