Chapter 443
"Bao, bah, bah, bah, bah, what's the big deal? I'm going to open today. Do you think big deal is bad? What does it mean!"
Ergou quickly slapped himself twice and said, "Mr. Marquis, I know my mistake, please hide quickly, Your descend!"
"Your Majesty has come so early?" Li Mu was surprised and frowned and glared at Ergou, saying, "Your Majesty is here to congratulate me. What am I hiding? How can I use you so much without eyesight? Get away, don't show up in front of me within an hour."
"Yes..." Ergou responded timidly, but he was wondering in his heart that this was a gambling shop. The marquis was not afraid of His Majesty knowing it? It was indeed worthy of being the marquis, and there was a way!
Li Mu met at the door and almost wrote the words "Harmony brings wealth" on his face. At this moment, he seemed to have traveled back to his previous life, looking like he met the father of Party A. He bent his waist down, stretched out his hand far away, grabbed Li Shimin's hand, and held it affectionately, and said, "Your Majesty can come, it really makes the Sihai Gambling House shine brightly. Oh, the queen is here too. This really gives the boy enough face. What should I do?"
"Okay, put away your face, I feel disgusted." Li Shimin frowned and looked up at the four big words "Sihai Gambling House", which were exactly the same as the four words on "Kaiyuan Tongbao". I knew that Li Mu could write them himself, so he couldn't help but hum. Good boy, after his calligraphy was perfect, he didn't even ask me to write them.
He walked over Li Mu without saying a word and left him aside.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and didn't care. He went to talk to Queen Changsun with a smile on his face. When he saw Eunuch Gao, he handed over a look. Eunuch Gao understood and nodded slightly. Li Mu knew it. When he had time later, Eunuch Gao would come to find him. Yesterday, his godson returned to the palace and sent a message for Li Mu. Eunuch Gao was also very curious. Li Mu prepared some surprise gift for him.
Others can explain the various facilities of the gambling workshop by trained personnel, but Li Shimin must be Li Mu in person. Li Mu took Li Shimin and Empress Changsun to visit the various facilities of the gambling workshop, and both of them were very interested. This was also under Li Mu's expectations. After all, they were all people in their early thirties. In Li Mu's previous life, people at this age were the age who liked to play.
After walking through the Paijiu, mahjong, poker and other areas, he came to a three-foot-wide roulette. There was a person standing next to the roulette. Seeing Li Mu bringing people over, he quickly came over to see the ceremony.
Li Shimin was very curious about the roulette. He walked to the front of the roulette and looked carefully for a while. He raised his hand and wanted to touch it. Seeing this, the person in charge of the roulette subconsciously wanted to stop it. Li Mu glared at him and stood there in a proper manner.
Li Shimin touched the roulette and suddenly found that it could turn. He found it even more interesting. He turned around and asked Li Mu, "What is this?"
"Your Majesty, this thing is called the Lucky Turntable. The gameplay is very simple. You see that there are no numbers on this roulette. From one to thirty-six, it is divided into thirty-six copies. The order is disrupted and written on it, black and white. Before playing, place a bet first. There is a pointer here. If you grab the roulette and turn around, the pointer will fall in one position. If the person who hits this position wins."
"Interesting." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I will come and play this roulette."
"Wait." Empress Changsun suddenly spoke out, she frowned and looked at the roulette, and said, "Li Mu, no matter how you play this roulette, you will win. Isn't this cheating?"
Why did Li Mu accept this bad reputation? He quickly said: "Queen, don't slander people. I am a gambling house, so how can I say I cheat people?"
Empress Changsun pointed to the roulette and said, "There are thirty-six grids on it, and the pointer can only point to one grid. In other words, the bet only has one chance to win, while the dealer has thirty-five chances to win, and the chances to win are very small, but the chances to lose are very large. Isn't this a cheating person?"
"Ouch..." Li Mu let out a long sigh. He thought that Empress Changsun was extremely smart and saw through the probability of roulette. It turned out that the rules were unclear, but he was shocked.
Li Mu quickly explained: "The queen is so bad. I don't make money in this lucky turntable. It's just a game project, specifically for people who don't know how to gamble, and a way to participate. After listening to me, you will know how conscience I am."
It would be fine if they didn't hear the word "conscience". When they heard these two words, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin had already concluded that this lucky turntable must have cheated people. But they couldn't see how they cheated. They looked at each other, pursed their lips and waited to hear how Li Mu explained it.
"You look at the black and white colors on the roulette, half of the black and half of the white. When you bet, you can press the color. For example, if you press the white, no matter how you turn it, as long as it turns white, you will win. If you press one and pay one, do you think this is fair or not? The black one and the white one!"
This really makes no mistake, Empress Changsun didn't say anything.
"Looking at this number again, there are doubles, thirty-six numbers, and odds and evens account for half of each. It's also a penalty of one, a penalty, isn't it fair?"
"You can also suppress the size. One to eighteen are considered small, and nineteen to thirty-six are considered large, which accounts for half of each. Is it fair to suppress the price of one, right?"
"If you are bold, that's coming! Didn't you just say that if you press a number, only one can win, and thirty-five can lose. Well, if you press a number, you win, you will lose thirty-five, and if you lose, you will lose one. If you press a number, you will lose thirty-five times, and as long as you win once, you won, you won't pay. If you win twice, three or four times, then I will lose to death. Isn't this conscience enough?"
"Um..." Empress Changsun couldn't answer, but the woman's intuition was terrible. She looked at the roulette and felt that there was something wrong no matter how she looked. Li Shimin looked around for a long time and said, "Forget it, Wugui, if this kid plots against others, he will not let people see it. Don't bother with this effort, it's meaningless."
Li Mu also quickly said, "Yes, yes, the two elders are not here to smash my place, they are more important to participate and have fun!"
Queen Changsun also smiled and said, "I'm just curious. Let's go and see the next one."
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the two away from this place of right and wrong.
After walking around, he introduced all the projects. Li Mu found a trained waiter and led Li Shimin and Empress Changsun to the private room on the second floor to rest. Before he could take a break, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui and others came together, and he hurried to receive them, so busy that he didn't need to explain these people in person. He just needed to deal with them, and just take the gifts and hand them over to other waiters.
Today, the threshold of Sihai Gambling House is not accessible. Although Li Mu has been advertising for several days and can enter as long as he has money, people with a few money usually see that the gifts are all the Dukes and third-ranks of the country, and after weighing their identity, they are discouraged.
This is also a matter of no choice. As long as someone exists, there will be a class. Moreover, the gambling house is so big that everyone comes in and can't handle it. However, the gifts that have not come have arrived. Especially the officials of the various families who have business dealing with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the gifts are over a thousand guan. There is no way, who dares not give them? If they don't give them, it's fine, but they can just carry them together. I'm afraid that they won't give them, and someone will give them, that's a big bad.
No one dared to bet on what others would do, so he had no choice but to send gifts honestly.
After receiving Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Qin Huaidao, Li Siwen and others, as the hour of You, Changsun Chong brought his classmates and each prepared a gift. Those who could enter the "Da Tang Technical School" were rich, and everyone's gifts were more than 100 trump cards, which made Li Mu so happy.
"Mr. Marquis, I just counted it. The money for the gifts alone is not counted as things. It has exceeded 100,000 guan." Ergou's voice was trembling. He was surprised by Li Mu's big deal yesterday. Today, he realized that the Marquis was indeed the Marquis. He dared to spend it and could earn it. He received 100,000 guan. Looking at the entire Chang'an City, is there a second person?
Thinking of this, Ergou was also excited. I thought that Ergou was a running errand in the West City. What kind of virtue did my ancestors accumulate? I could meet the Marquis. If I don’t do my best to do my job, would I still be a human?
Self-brainwashing is the most deadly. Li Mu saw Ergou's eyes shining, which scared him. He subconsciously distanced himself from Ergou and said, "It's only 100,000 yuan, isn't this normal? Money, don't take things outside of it so seriously. Take out the order I gave you at noon, compare it carefully, and see which one is given less, and mark it for me."
Ergou was stunned and said, "Mr. Marquis, don't you say you shouldn't take it that seriously?"
Li Mu suddenly became angry and embarrassed: "I just want to know who gave me less. Did I say what to do with them? Why are your ideas so complicated? I am like the kind of person who gives me less gifts and I will take revenge on him and not give him orders?"
Li Mu's voice was a little louder, and many people nearby heard it. Ergou sweated on his forehead and thought to himself, Marquis, you look like that kind of person.
"Get away, you'll be upset."
Li Mu waved his hand, and Ergou quickly slipped away. Suddenly he found that many people seemed to have seen it, and quickly piled up a smile on his face and said, "Everyone can play casually. Today, Sihai Gambling House is open. I am happy. Each person gives me 100 coins of chips. If you lose, I will take it away if you win!"
When everyone heard that there was still money to return, they were all happy and all kinds of congratulations came over. Li Mu laughed, waved his hand and climbed up to the second floor, and came to the terrace in the middle. The huge lanterns on both sides lit up, illuminating the front of the gambling house as bright as day.
At this time, there were all people in front of the gambling house. They all read the newspaper and learned that there would be three "Qian Yu" today, and they came to join in the fun. It was the hour of You. When it was the first time "Qian Yu", everyone saw the lantern lit up and saw Li Mu again, and knew that "Qian Yu" was coming, and all their eyes gathered on Li Mu in an instant.
"Everyone, everyone knows who I am, right?"
"Marquis!"/"Master Zhulu!"/"We all recognize it, when will it rain on the marquis!"
When there are many people, their fear will decrease a lot. If you pick one out of one, you may not dare to speak in front of Li Mu, but if you are mixed in the crowd, they will not be afraid.
Li Mu didn't mind either, so he raised the "megaphone" made with bamboo and said, "Today, Sihai Gambling House opened. Everyone has read the newspapers, and I don't go around the corner. This Sihai Gambling House is the industry opened by my marquis. To this day, I have three industries, Bashang Wine House, Feng Qiuhuang from Jingdong, and this Sihai Gambling House. There will definitely be a support from everyone in the future. To thank everyone, I won't talk nonsense. Give everyone some real things, come on, carry it over!"
Li Mu shouted, four big men carried a huge box up. Then the big men went down and four beauties came up. These four beauties were all very famous musicians in the Jiaofangsi. Some of the people who recognized them in the crowd started shouting.
Li Mu opened the box, held it from it, and picked it up for everyone to show it.
"There are all money in this box! I don't know how much it is. I guess there must be at least a few thousand guan, including broken silver, copper coins, and gold bars. It depends on your luck. In the first rain of money today, I asked these four sisters to help. It's going to rain, so let's make a thunder?"
The sound of drums sounded like thunder. When everyone was not aware of it, there was a sudden sound of a gong, and the four beauties each reached into the box, grabbed a handful and threw it down.
No one expected that it was so simple and straightforward. When they saw the money slamming their heads, they all realized it. They didn't care about the beauty and started to steal money.
The person who fell to the ground didn't pick it up, and his head was smashed again. The unlucky one hit a ingot, and the head was smashed into a big bag, and it even flew away. He screamed in anger.
Li Mu also grabbed the money and threw it on the ground, shouting: "Did anyone get the gold bar? It's just at this moment when I get rich. There is a ingot over there. Oh, yes, yes, yes, rob it quickly, don't let others rob it!"
There will be no less riots.
About a quarter of an hour, a large box of money was dispersed. Li Mu laughed and said, "There are still a lot of copper coins on the ground. Please pick them up slowly. There are two more times tonight. Thank you for your support!"
"Thank you to the Marquis!"/"The Marquis is unparalleled and righteous!"/"The Marquis is righteous and generous!"
After getting the money, my mouth naturally felt like I was touching honey, and I shouted endlessly.
Li Mu took his men to remove from the terrace, and the two lanterns were blown out. Everyone knew that when the lanterns were lit, it was time to send the money next time.
Some people are counting how much money they have robbed, some people are red in annoyance when they didn't get it. More people take advantage of this time to go back to call on friends and attract friends. It is obvious that there are more people who have robbed them. At worst, they can only share them equally after robbing them. It is better than not being able to rob them.
