Chapter 73: The Eve of Marseilles

"Do you want to inquire about the Song Dynasty?" Mr. Si looked at Si Kan.

"It's... the child wants to see if it's the opportunity to go to the business."

"Shang Shang? Humph! Did your county magistrate's top scholar ask you to inquire?" Mr. Si looked at him like a raging look: "You dare to bring the current officials of the Song Dynasty to our house. Are you afraid that the court will find the reason, saying that we want to sell the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with the Song Dynasty?"

"...I don't know what my father said?" Si Kan sweated coldly.

"I don't know what to say? Si De, read it to him."

"Yes!" The housekeeper Si De took out a piece of paper and said, "Ouyang, a native of Hangzhou Xincheng, was the top scholar in Zhenghe for the fifth year. In the same year, he was dispatched to the magistrate of Yangping. During his tenure..."

"..." Si Kan was very surprised. No matter how strong the Si family was, it was impossible for him to touch every friend of his son.

Mr. Si asked: "Do you know why I feel his name is familiar?"

Si Kan said hurriedly: "I don't know."

"This kid is amazing. He led the establishment of a Yangping Chamber of Commerce, which squeezed out the money house I set up in Tokyo, and also poached my accountant. Moreover, our Si family's money house in Dasong must be closed. The Yangping Chamber of Commerce is now crazy and uses all the means to collect money. He is preparing to start from Taiyuan and head north all the way. Finally, he opened a flying ticket house in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. He does business and achieve my territory. Do you think I should check it clearly?"

Si Kan hurriedly said: "My father, Lord Ou has kindness, and he is diligent in serving the people. The people of Yangping have a reputation..."

"It's well-known? Then why do you come here to open a casino?"

"This..." Si Kan gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to ask my father to let go of Lord Ou."

"He has moved long ago. Don't mention Xiao Ganyun, what can he do to me even if Li Chuwen?" Mr. Si said: "Let's do this, tell him that there is no problem asking for news. I will come to me later after he finishes his work."

"yes!"

"Sikan!"

"Baby is here!"

"Don't think about going around business, as the world is getting more and more chaotic. The stability after the Chanyuan Alliance may have changed for more than a hundred years. The Si family has some business in the Jin Kingdom, so you can keep some fun first. Among my many sons, you are not qualified, but you are kind and able to endure hardships. Being willing to plead for your friend is also a kind person. Don't let me down."

"yes!"

"Also, let me ask you, who is at a loss for this Chanyuan Alliance?"

"The boy doesn't understand, but Lord Ou said that because of the Chanyuan Alliance, it seems that Song suffered a great loss and had to pay coins every year, but in fact it was Liao who suffered a loss. Because the things sold to Song were less than those sold to Liao, the deficit was too large, and the Liao Kingdom gave up the right to mint coins. From this point of view, Song dominated Liao's currency. Song sold a lot of porcelain made of earth, but Liao could only sell cattle, horses and sheep. The longer the time, the more the Liao suffered a loss."

"Well said." Mr. Si clapped his high-high, "This Ouyang is indeed a real talent. No wonder the Yangping Chamber of Commerce is so strong. In just a few months, he made a bold statement and had ten million yuan in money. Now people who want to join the Yangping Chamber of Commerce have all kinds of industries from south to north. Unfortunately, every family has great business, but the family management has outdated ideas and is bound by layers. Mediocre talents and talents are mixed together. If you do not act, you may not even have a place to live in the future."

"But I heard that if you are determined to be enterprising, you will definitely care about the past and the future, and advance quickly and retreat faster."

"So I want to see if this Ouyang has the ability to control this fierce horse that has broken away. Otherwise, if the Yangping Chamber of Commerce goes bankrupt a few years later, the Song Dynasty's economy will be regressed for ten years."

"Boy understand."

...

On the third day of the casino opening, the emperor came. The emperor was fooled by Li Chuwen. Xiao Ganyun immediately ordered someone to clear the field. Fortunately, even the prince knew how to treat the emperor, and everyone cooperated very well. Emperor Tianzuo looked at the sauna very strangely, but he did not try it lightly due to his identity. Then he visited the big roulette and was also very interested in poker, but he had an extremely passionate love for horse racing. He asked Ouyang San and Four times how to prepare for the first horse racing.

On the fourth day, this guy quietly brought two guards to him. Because the emperor's arrival added a breath to the entertainment city, the entertainment city became more and more lively. Li Chuwen was very pleased and criticized Xiao Ganyun for some more.

...

After more than half a month of preparation and experimentation, the first official horse racing competition finally began. A total of 7,749 top-class horses from all over the country participated in the competition. A total of 7,700 horses were divided into seven games, each game. Each first place can get 500 stags of money, 50 stags of money, and 5 stags of money in the second place and 5 stags of money in the third place.

The gambling method is also quite interesting. Ouyang issued 3T and triple lottery according to the style of the special zone's horse betting horse. The 3T refers to the top 3 in the three games specified by the third, fourth and six. The triple lottery is the top three on the spot. Among them, the 3T is the most eye-catching, with an odds of 10,000 times. If you invest one tael of silver, you will get a return of 10,000 taels of silver. Of course, Ouyang didn't say that the three Ts in the special zone are generally odds of hundreds of thousands of times.

Since horse tickets were not used for audience venues, Ouyang also gritted his teeth and issued them for the first time in the surrounding five states. According to the idea, it can be issued throughout Liaoning in the future. It is well known to the public: Encourage raising horses and raise good horses. Xiao Ganyun was so busy that he vomited blood. He did not expect that Ouyang would do such a big deal and could not get the manpower at all. However, he did not complain, and even asked his uncle and prince to help him. Leng was issued the Linhuang Mansion and all over the five states.

On the eve of the horse racing, several data reports came out, and Xiao Ganyun almost fainted. The bet amount reached one million yuan. Among them, Linhuang Mansion accounted for 80%. These people were judging the victory or defeat of these horses from a distance in the captive horse racing area. They thought they were once nomadic people, and their understanding of horses could increase their chances of winning... In fact, not only them, but Xiao Ganyun also thought so. He knew that many people were very accurate in looking at horses. After hearing Xiao Ganyun's concern, Ouyang just smiled and said, he had bought two absolutely good horses and bet on the highest rider. He might fall and slip, but he would never win the first place. Xiao Ganyun was relieved.

Is there any bribe? Of course not. This horse racing was not only followed by the people but also received attention from the court. Emperor Tianzuo encouraged horse raising and good horses. And even Yelu Dashi believed that horse racing in the entertainment city was the only highlight. As a nomadic people, their feelings for horses were not just described as love. Therefore, under the fanning of Ouyang, Emperor Tianzuo specially sent an army of 100 people to isolate all participating horses and riders to show his justice.
