Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 344 The Racecourse and Chen Yuanyuan (Two in One)

"My lord, Wang Fugui, the owner of Fugui Casino, is here!" Xu Chu entered the room and reported to Liu De.

Without raising his head, Liu De held little Liu Zhao in his arms, and said directly, "Take him to the living room first, and I'll be there soon!"

"Yes!"

The baby, who was just born a few days ago, had a flushed face and a small grin, laughing happily in Liu De's arms.After all, being a father for the first time is quite new to Liu De.

"Okay, okay, go get busy! Give me the child!"

Qian took the child from Liu De's arms and said to Liu De.

Ma Yuxuan was behind Qian, looking at the deflated Liu De, covering her small mouth and secretly laughing.

Qian glanced at Ma Yuxuan, and reprimanded: "And you, go back to bed and lie down, what should you do if you catch a cold!"

"Yes!"

Ma Yuxuan responded with lowered eyebrows.

Wang Fugui followed Xu Chu step by step, and came to the living room. Xu Chu ordered the maid to serve tea, and then said to Wang Fugui: "Boss Wang, wait a moment, the lord will be here in a while."

Wang Fugui hurriedly said: "It's really troublesome for the general!"

"It's okay!"

Xu Chu nodded, and left the hall, leaving Wang Fugui alone in the hall, waiting for Liu De's arrival in the hall, feeling very terrified. He, a small gambling shop owner, was actually received by the Lord of Yanzhou. The difference is so great that I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

After a while, Liu De came to the main hall, but he was not alone, except for the two bodyguards Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Dai Zong, the commander of the Arch Guard Division, was behind him.

"Grassmen pay homage to Mr. State Shepherd!"

Wang Fugui was trembling, and performed a kneeling ceremony.

"Get up!"

Liu De flicked his sleeves and said.

When I first saw Wang Fugui, his name was quite vulgar, but his appearance was quite upright, wearing a green shirt, he was no different from a literati.

Wang Fugui's buttocks were hanging in the air on the seat, and he didn't take a sip of the hot tea on the side. He put his hands on his stomach and on the handles of the chair from time to time, looking a little flustered.

Liu De looked at Wang Fugui, who was fidgeting a little, and said with a smile, "Don't panic, it's really no big deal for the general to call you here!"

"Yes"

Hearing what Liu De said, Wang Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead and relaxed a little.

"You made a lot of money by gambling on martial arts this time!"

Hearing Liu De's words, Wang Fugui jumped up from his chair like a frightened bird, and quickly explained: "Caomin. Caomin only made a small amount of money."

"Sit, sit! Don't stand!"

Liu De said with a smile, but in Wang Fugui's eyes, Liu De's smile is as terrifying as a devil. If it's over, my hard-earned foundation will be gone.

Liu De continued: "The general sent people to investigate your life experience, although you have done a lot of hooking up secretly, but compared with others, you, a gambling shop owner, are actually relatively clean, this is really beyond the general's expectation .”

Dai Zong left a bundle of bamboo slips at Wang Fugui's feet.

Wang Fugui's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he even felt wet in his crotch.

Picking up the bamboo slips, it recorded in detail what he had done in recent years, which was not bad at all.

Wang Fugui slumped on the ground and kowtowed continuously: "My lord, I swear, this little one has never hurt a commoner, and the ones who died were all hooligans, full of evil people, please spare my life! "

"The general didn't say to kill you, otherwise you would still be here?" Liu De was quite satisfied with Wang Fugui's reaction.

"The grown-ups are small. I don't know what it means for adults to be small?" Wang Fugui made up his mind and said directly to Liu De.

Liu Dedao: "You went from a boy to a gambling shop owner, and you used martial arts to expand your gambling shop's influence. It can be said that you are a master at every step. You are a talent. This general wants you to help me with things!"

Wang Fugui was stunned: "What does the general mean?"

"This general has always had an idea, but it's a pity that there are no experts who are good at this line of work under his command. Until this general discovered you, you have means and vision. What's more rare is that you have a little bit of bottom line."

"The little one was poor since he was a child, so although he has started a gambling shop, he actually doesn't do those outrageous things!" Wang Fugui kowtowed.

"The big head of the gambling shop is loan sharks. I didn't expect that you didn't lend money to usurers? This makes the general very curious."

"My lord, the scale of the small gambling houses is still small, and those loan sharks are controlled by other large gambling houses, and the small ones dare not let them go!"

"You're being honest, this general thought you would make up something?" Liu De said with a smile.

Wang Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said rather anxiously: "My lord is wise and mighty, how dare a young man deceive you?"

"Okay, let's not say what is there, the general asked you to come here and want you to build a large-scale racetrack in Liaocheng!"

"The racetrack?"

Wang Fugui raised his head and was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, it's the racetrack!"

Liu De tapped his finger and said with certainty.

To put it bluntly, the racetrack is just betting on horses!
Why did Liu De build a racetrack!

simply put.
No money!
Although Liu De seized a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from other forces, in fact Liu De spent a lot of money, especially in terms of military equipment, the horses in Mayi, the food and salaries of the soldiers, and the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle.

And in winter, help the people affected by the snowstorm!

Now Xu Guangqi is implementing the Tuntian Order!
Liu De's rewards are also extravagant, throwing hundreds of gold and hundreds of gold out, without feeling distressed at all.

In addition, the road from Liaocheng to Jinyang Pass is difficult, and it is difficult to transport the logistics and supplies in a short time, so Liu De also wants to build a road to speed up the march.

Unfortunately, no money!
Mi Zhu, who is in charge of money and food, said so.

As the lord, in charge of the people of a state, and an army of tens of thousands, if he has no money, it is no small matter!
So Liu De must find a way from other aspects!
The purpose of the Tuntian Order is to increase food and solve the pressure on food demand. At least not to prevent cannibalism like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Of course, it is more to solve the problem of food supply for the army.

There is no money without food!
So the racetrack was put on Liu De's schedule.

But without the corresponding talents, you can't expect your officials to go to the official racetrack!
This is an insult to them!

I'll show you every minute!
Only merchants can do it, and Wang Fugui came into Liu De's eyes during the subsequent martial arts.

Liu De then sent Dai Zong to investigate Wang Fugui, a gambling shop owner, which was relatively easy for the guards. Within two days, all information about Wang Fugui was sent to Liu De's case.

Liu De knew that Wang Fugui should be the most suitable candidate.

The government cannot organize such a thing, at least on the surface, so a white glove like Wang Fugui is needed.

Moreover, horse racing can make a lot of money, especially the money of those dandy children. It is their daily life to go to brothels for cockfighting and lackeys. If a horse racing arena is established, it will definitely attract the attention of a large number of people. This is a profitable business.

It will also promote the folk horse industry, and even increase the number of people who are good at riding. Although horse breeding is actually exclusive to the rich, and poor people can't eat enough to eat, how can they have money to raise horses, but it does have a certain promotion effect.

Wang Fugui's head turned rapidly, he finally knew what Liu De called him to come over, how could he refuse such a good thing, who is Liu De?Lord of Yanzhou!
As long as the things he ordered are done well, even if there is some leftover soup, it will be enough for him to be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime, and maybe his son may also hope to get rid of the status of a merchant.

Besides, do you dare to refuse now?
"Just follow the general's orders!"

After Wang Fugui finished speaking, he touched his head to the ground and said very respectfully.

"it is good!"

Liu De nodded, this Wang Fugui is a person who knows current affairs.

Liu De handed a silk letter to Wang Fugui, "This is some outline written by this general. After you go back, think about it carefully, refine the content, and then report to me!"

This silk book contains some content about horse racing competitions and management, but Liu De doesn't have a deep understanding of these, so let's see what the casino owner has to do!

"The grassroots must live up to the general's entrustment!"

Wang Fugui took the silk book carefully and kowtowed to Liu De.

Wang Fugui followed Xu Chu out of the hall, and when Wang Fugui stood outside the gate of the Liu Mansion, he realized that his back was already soaked in his clothes.

But Wang Fugui looked at the silk scroll in his hand, and his wealth and honor in the future will all be on this silk scroll.

Wang Fugui couldn't wait any longer, he stuffed the silk book into his arms, and got into his carriage.

"Master, where are we going?" the groom turned around and asked.

"Go home!"

"Dai Zong, has anyone found out who is behind those loan sharks?" After Wang Fugui left, Liu De's expression gradually became serious. The problem of loan sharks is actually a very serious matter.

However, usury cannot be banned at all. There is a need for buying and selling. This is the case in an era when people deteriorate.

Moreover, the private behavior of lending is a business of your own accord, and it is impossible for Liu De to stop it, but usury has ruined too many families.

And the controllers of usury are those aristocratic families in Liaocheng, Liu De thinks it is necessary to combat the arrogance of usury merchants.

After all, this is a factor that affects social instability.

"My lord, I found a few by following the clues, and the rest will be found soon!" Dai Zong reported.

"Oh! The Department of Arch Guards is already short of manpower, and the new recruits are a group of novices who don't know anything. How can they investigate so quickly?"

Liu De questioned, he didn't expect Dai Zong to be so efficient.

Dai Zong smiled wryly and said, "Don't dare to lie to my lord. Those gambling houses and merchants who lend money at usury have nothing to hide at all. They are very blatant. Go to a few rangers who are familiar with the boundaries and you will be able to find out who is behind these people!"

Liu De nodded and said: "I didn't expect this group of people to be so bold and reckless. It seems that I still think left!"

"Many aristocratic families rely on usury to collect a large amount of money. Those ordinary people who can't repay the usury have to sell their land and children to repay their debts. Anyway, it's quite miserable!" Dai Zong said from the side.

"It must be rectified. Our basic base is not those aristocratic families, but the real grassroots people." Liu De said.

"Remember, sir!"

Dai Zong promised.

Liu De then went to Li Lan's small courtyard, but only saw Li Lan's personal maid, Cai Wei, but not Li Lan.

"Where's Laner?"

Liu De asked.

"Master, Madam went out of the city with Ms. Chen Ying, Madam said that the mansion is too boring, it's not interesting at all!" Cai Wei squatted down and said.

"This Lan'er ran out and didn't even say a word to me!"

Liu De muttered, and said to Caiwei: "Okay, you can do your work!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Li Lan was not there, Liu De went to see Guo You, who was due to give birth in a month. After all, Guo You was a twin, and it was much harder than Ma Yuxuan. Liu De also called Ma to the mansion to take care of Guo You. Yo.

Then Liu De went straight back to his room.

"System, I want to draw a lottery!"

Liu De turned on the system. These days, he has collected enough 3020 skill points. After thinking about it, Liu De will directly draw a lottery!It's been a long time since I drew a lottery, maybe something good will be drawn this time!

System: "Ding, does the player spend 3000 skill points to draw six times!"

"Pick it!"

"Ding! Congratulations player, you didn't draw any items!"

"Ding! Congratulations player, you didn't draw any items!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, you have obtained Chen Yuanyuan, a beauty from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and will appear in front of the player at the right time."

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, you have won [Smart General Wine], which increases the strength of generals whose intelligence is less than 100 by 8, but the maximum value is 100, and you have been awarded the title: Military Master."

"Ding! Congratulations player, you didn't draw any items!"

"Ding! Congratulations player, you didn't draw any items!"
-
"Who? Chen Yuanyuan?"

Liu De turned over from the bed, unexpectedly, Yang Yuhuan, who often haunted the shopping mall, did not come out, and Chen Yuanyuan, who was no less than her, came out.

Chen Yuanyuan, one of the "Eight Beauties of the Qinhuai River", the Chen Yuanyuan who became a beauty when Wu Sangui rushed to the crown.

If Wu Sangui hadn't surrendered to Dorgon, Mite Qing would have entered the customs at least a few decades later, so it is said that Chen Yuanyuan changed history with her charm.

For Liu De, beauty is just a symbol.

Except for Chen Ying, Li Lan, and Xi'er, the other women are either for profit, or to meet their physical needs. Chen Yuanyuan is in the United States, and it is impossible for Liu De to indulge in sex because of this. It is more likely that there is a desire to collect ( Harmony) Hope.

[Smart General Wine] and the [Smart General Wine] that I drew a long time ago can not only increase attributes, but also increase titles. It can be said to be very powerful. Liu De wants to wait for his attributes to increase and use it by himself. Put it away first. !
Liu De glanced at his attributes, Charm 72, and he had already researched [Ability Research: Charm + 5 Medium] 5 times, he can increase the Charm of generals whose Charm is less than 80 by 5, but the maximum value is 80.

So Liu De used it twice to increase his charm to 80.

Up to now, Liu De has finally reached [-] in one attribute, gratifying to congratulate!
congratulations!

　Thank you Mengwu Chenxing for the 100 starting point reward~~Thank you~~
