Chapter 64: The Backroad

After the New Year, Huilan School opened, but trouble broke out on the first day. Someone exposed Huilan's identity, and the Imperial College officials were furious and swept up a group of students to come to Ouyang to ask for an explanation and demanded that the Imperial College be managed by the school.

Ouyang said simply: "Fight the article!" The Imperial College officials agreed. They cannot disagree, because all the expenses of this school are responsible for Ouyang.

So, the Imperial College gave the exam questions according to the imperial examination. In addition to Huilan, there were 30 in-city students participating. But as soon as the result came out, the Imperial College could only admit defeat. After such a small storm, the school finally started classes.

All the classes were Ouyang Ding, mainly about literacy and writing, and only learn to use words in daily life. Huilan is also very concerned about this. Although he knows a lot about the identity of a prostitute, the students always respectfully call Huilan Mr. Occasionally, someone would be beaten up by a crowd.

...

The county's public security was responsible for two arresters and Zhan Ming. They were all-rounded by Gan Xin, who was responsible for handling the official documents of the prefectures and counties, and socializing. There were Ouping, the family affairs, financial control and corruption. The household chiefs of all regions were qualified, and a group of yamen runners were relatively upright and responsible. They seemed to have done everything they should do.

"Come!"

"Here!" Bai Lian entered the study.

"...Yes, you went to work the first day today." Ouyang remembered when he saw Bai Lian: "Have you been fed by horses?"

"All of them are ready... Thank you for not tattooing."

"You're welcome, you'll be there. Take your stuff and accompany me."

...

Yipin Gambling House welcomed the county magistrate today. When a group of gambling guests saw the magistrate wearing official uniform arrive, they all stood up in panic. Ouyang smiled and signaled them to sit down and asked the guy: "Where is the shopkeeper?"

"Here, here is the adult." A man in his forties came out of the inner room, sweating and confused: "Little Wang Mai, I don't know that the adults are coming..."

"Don't be polite, I'm here to gamble." Ouyang nodded, Bai Lian put a bag of things on the table and opened it. It was all gold, conservatively estimated to be one hundred taels.

"Big, sir." Wang Maisalba said: "I'm afraid the shop..."

"Don't worry, listen to me." Ouyang said: "You can make a bet, and you can decide whether to bet. I win, the gambling shop will close. I lose, and this hundred taels of gold is yours. How about it? This is not capital."

"Sir, just kid."

Ouyang asked back: "Do you think the county is wearing official uniforms and is here to joke with you?"

"...Okay! The young one sacrificed their life to accompany the gentleman." Wang Mai gritted his teeth. It would be impossible not to gamble today. If he didn't gamble, he would close the door. If he didn't gamble, he still had 50% hope: "What do you think about the big or small gambling?"

"Whatever." Ouyang smiled lightly.

...

Ouyang patted Wang Mai's shoulders with a gray face and said, "Tonight, our county has set up a banquet in the yamen, so please give it a treat."

"Yes, Wang must come."

"Remember to close the door and next house."

All five gambling houses closed within one day. The sixth house received the news in advance and closed the door to thank the guests. Ouyang ordered to forcibly break into the door on the charge of hiding bandits. Comparing with the cadres and seeking death!

That night, six shopkeepers sat on the table uneasy and dared not speak. A group of yamen runners led by Zhan Ming stood with their swords. In fact, even Zhan Ming didn't know what Ouyang Hulu sold. But if Ouyang didn't say it, he never asked.

After waiting for half an hour, Ouyang finally came out in plain clothes and bowed to his hands, "Sorry, I'm busy with business."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Several shopkeepers stood up to greet him.

"You go down." When the yamen runners went down, Ouyang took a seat, and Zhan Ming was guarding him. These people who opened gambling houses were not good. Ouyang took a sip of wine and said, "A few of them are all talented people. Although they are not a good gambling block, they can open a gambling house for twenty years and stand tall, and they are all talented people."

Wang Mai clasped his fists and said, "Sir, we are a rough man, just say something if you have something to do."

"Well, let's say that. Yangping, don't open a gambling shop. If anyone is interested in cooperating with this county to open a cash sales nest in Liaoguo, stay."

Liao Kingdom? How many people wanted to touch Ouyang's head was hot, and they didn't seem to have passed through their brains.

"We cooperated with local gambling shops, colluded with the powerful and opened a cashier land in Linhuang Mansion that integrates casinos, brothels, entertainment, services, etc. The county is full of people who arrest traitors. We still have to rely on your help in opening gambling files... It's still time to leave."

This was shocking and very whimsical. Ouyang knew they would think so. For example, someone told you that we would go to Paris, France to rob, and everyone felt shocking and incredible. After this, the four shopkeepers stood up and bowed and left. The remaining two were Wang Mai and the other was Zhang Xing. Although both of them were very suspicious, they did not leave the table.

Ouyang nodded and said, "If you are interested, let's talk about it. The benefits are fine, the three of us will share the same... The so-called strong dragons do not defeat local snakes. The first step is to choose a partner first." Transnational crime is like this. When you reach a place, the best way is to become partners with the local criminal group.

Zhang Xing was in his early thirties and looked very capable: "Sir, if you really have the ability to open such a cash sales nest, I don't think we have to ask for help. As long as you release the wind, someone will naturally come to us. The young man once went to Linhuang Mansion, and his cousin was a friend of a small local gambling house."

"Yeah, I want it." For example, if you take white flour to sell in another place, you don't have to go to sell it on your doorstep. If you put some air on it, you will be able to come to your doorstep. Ouyang said: "The second step is to buy powerful people with certain strength and buy them for free. He provides protection and does not pay for it, but he can get monthly dividends for nothing."

Wang Maido said: "The Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdoms are not short of such powerful people, as long as they have money."

"The third point is to acquire industries in the suburbs of Linhuangfu, or directly build them..."

"Sir." Wang Mai said: "You said this, but in fact, I thought about it when I was young. I am not afraid of adults laughing at me. I grew up in a gambling house since I was a child, and I volunteered to open a huge casino. But... I have two problems that are difficult to solve."

“What’s the problem?”

"The first question is money." Wang Mai said: "Your sir can count this fund. Before you have any profit, how much does it cost to win over the powerful and build a site and hire a thug?"

"Is fifty thousand taels of silver enough?"

"...Sir, do you have this money?" Wang Maiyan's implication was that since he had this money, why did he still run to Liao Kingdom to open a casino?

Of course there is! Ouyang had previously embezzled, searched his house, and emptied the county government, which could make up more than 100,000 jin of coins, which was equivalent to more than 90,000 taels of silver.

Zhang Xing shook his head: "Sir, if you operate independently, you will certainly need 50,000 taels. But if you operate in partnership, you don't need so much if you look at the small ones. First of all, you can avoid bribing the powerful and powerful, and you may even let the land run for us. Secondly, recruiting thugs is naturally the partners to look for. On the small ones, tens of taels are enough. I'm afraid the most important thing is the second issue that Manager Wang said."

"Yes! The second question is that casinos are not just luxurious. For example, private gambling in the mountains, the wind is strong and the air is cold, and there is no enjoyment at all, but gamblers can gather in hundreds or even thousands. Why? Because gambling is a word, to attract gamblers, various means of attraction are required. One plays and two gamblings, and the two are the right reason."
