Chapter 68 Planning

One morning, Ouyang took 300 taels of gold and set off with Wang Mai on the way to Liao Kingdom. He set off in Shouzhou, passed through Henan Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, and Arrive Prefecture. He arrived at the border. Ouyang had his own business dealer, and the Song Bing gave it to him. When he arrived at the ground of Liao Prefecture, he had the Prime Minister's Mansion brought back by Wang Mai, and he could pass easily without any exploitation. He left Yanyun and went to Dading Prefecture, and then arrived at Linhuang Prefecture.

The journey was quite far. Although the two had good horses to travel, it took more than half a month. After leaving Yanjing, it was a different style. To the south of Yanyun, there were many towns and dense populations. When it came to the real Liao Kingdom, it changed a lot. Sometimes it was impossible to see a family even if you walked more than a hundred miles. The distribution between states was sparse. Wang Mai introduced that if you had a fast horse, it would take less than ten days to get from Linhuang Prefecture to Tokyo in the Jin Kingdom. In the ten days, there was only one Tongzhou separated. However, those places were already military zones, and the troops of the Liao Kingdom were gathering to gather to the north of Linhuang Prefecture.

There are few people and wide land. Ouyang lamented that no wonder Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures were the important taxes of Liao. It is interesting to say that Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures were ceded by the Later Tang Dynasty to ask Liao soldiers to help with the civil war. It is said that the Liao soldiers had never conquered the land and wood of the Song Dynasty with force. Although they had wanted to do it, they did not succeed. It was not unreasonable for Ouyang to think of Wang Han's words. Everyone was very good at internal fighting and even would cede land and ask for foreign aid.

Never believe that Xiao Yuanshan in the Tianlong Bashi does not understand Chinese. In the Liao Kingdom, the Chinese popularization rate is close to 100%.

Wang Mai also understood that the Liao Dynasty's court is actually worse than the Song Dynasty. For example, the Lanling County Prince Xiao Fengxian, who was attached to by the prime minister Li Chuwen, had a wealth of wealth, which was worse than that of several corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty. The civil and military officials in the court were all vocal musicians and horses except for the ones. Ouyang sighed that it was really bad to be a bad person together, and now it is the topic of how to ruin the Jin Dynasty. However, Ouyang likes bad places because of clean and bright places, so he can only be a policeman.

...

The owner of the gambling house is Xiao Ganyun. He is in his forties and is a powerful and powerful Khitan. The Khitans only have the Yelu and Xiao clans. The Sikan family was originally a rich man from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, not Khitans. Xiao Ganyun not only came to greet Ouyang with Li Xing himself, but did not talk about official business, but was very generous and drank.

The alcohol content was not something I could bring in in my previous life, so Ouyang got drunk, but it seemed that he was not drunk either. Ouyang was half asleep and half awake and was carried to a unique courtyard by Xiao Ganyun. Two women changed Ouyang's clothes. As for the gold Ouyang brought, Xiao Ganyun placed it next to Ouyang's pillow.

Since he was so polite, Ouyang was easy to talk. When he woke up the next day, he washed up and asked someone to lead Xiao Ganyun to apologize. Sihai Casino is the largest gambling block in Linhuang Mansion. There were more than 30 mates alone, but the number of gamblers was not too large. Xiao Ganyun was very unhappy to Ouyang being too polite. He said that no matter what, Ouyang came here in person, so he was Xiao Ganyun's friend, and it was worthy of being attentive to entertain. Xiao Ganyun happened to be going out, so he let Ouyang play casually in the casino, and the loss was his.

When Xiao Ganyun came back one hour later, he was shocked. The casino was about to change his surname to Ou. Ouyang was betting on the size of the casino, guessing copper coins and throwing money. A group of guys went on a row, all of them were defeated in shame. The most amazing thing was that everyone reported and did not find that Ouyang had any trouble. Only then did Xiao Ganyun realize that Ouyang had kicked six casinos in a row. Of course, he didn't know that the god of gambling was actually the top scholar magistrate.

When Ouyang saw Xiao Ganyun come back, he casually pushed down the money in front of him and laughed: "Just have fun, take it back."

Xiao Ganyun didn't like to listen to these words, and he said, "Ouyang, you are so unwilling to take Xiao into consideration. The Khitans will do their best..."

"Okay!" Ouyang pushed all the money onto the small size and said, "Open!"

“Five, five, sixteen o’clock.”

"Do it!" Ouyang spread his hands towards Xiao Ganyun: "I'm working today, but I can't stand it if I don't drink."

Xiao Ganyun praised in his heart, not only admired Ouyang's gambling technique, but also admired the courage of saying that he would not want it if he said he wanted it. The southerners also had real husbands. Xiao Ganyun greeted his subordinates: "Isn't it embarrassing enough to accept it? Ouyang, you don't want it. When you come to my house, my guest is my brother. How can you treat guests?"

At noon, I still didn't mention official business. Xiao Ganyun wanted to make friends with Ouyang and introduced his situation. It turned out that this guy was able to open the first gambling stage. He was actually a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom and a member of the Empress Dowager Xiao's lineage. He was also a nobleman among the Khitans. Although his family was in ruins, he was still a good life. There was also an uncle and a prince. He had three wives, one Han and two Khitans.

Xiao Ganyun was so frank. Although Ouyang wanted to confess, he felt it was not the time. He only said that he was from Hangzhou and now lives in Yangping, Shouzhou, and is a small businessman.

Xiao Ganyun immediately said: "Brother, since that's the case, just live in my brother's house. It's better than selling goods in the wind and rain."

"We open a casino together, are you still afraid that my brother will not have the chance to trouble my elder brother?" Ouyang said: "But there are elders at home, and there is a matter of this, and we have to go back. Let Zhang and Wang help manage it. By the way, Zhang Xing and Wang Mai, do you plan to take your wife and children after the stability here?"

Zhang Xing smiled and said, "Brother, we have decided to have one family in Liao and one family in Song Dynasty. If things are done here, Wang Mai and I will take turns to go back in half a year."

"Yeah, that's not bad." Ouyang had already agreed to the two of them that one percent of their dividends would be a bonus for each one, and he would do as long as he could. Wang and Zhang knew that the profits of the casino would be, as Ouyang said, occupying all the gambling industry in Linhuang Mansion and expanding to the surrounding areas, even the entire Liao Kingdom. The dividends that year were enough for them to eat and drink for more than ten years.
