The First Emperor came out of the Water Temple with a group of subordinates wearing sunglasses.

I just went to see the Xiangrui Lake Clam who was addicted to alcohol and was full of life. A large group of kings and ministers came to dozens of bottles of red wine into the pool. Until the pool, which was only ten feet in a radius, turned red. In the strong aroma of wine, the two shells of the lake Clam opened softly, and the big tongue spitted outside without any movement, the First Emperor had to leave regretfully.

The news of the First Emperor's inspection of Wuzhong has long been well known. Ordinary people who did not have the opportunity and sufficient identity to go to the city to welcome the people of worship can only stay outside the city. At this time, on the way outside the Water God Temple to the road to the Five Lakes, the road was surrounded by dense Wuzhong people. Seeing the First Emperor, Chen Xu and others coming out, a tsunami-like cheer burst out.

The voices of paying homage to Emperor Shin and to the Queen of Qinghe were heard one after another in the crowd.

Thousands of imperial guards held long spears and pushed the cheering crowd away more than twenty feet. Five hundred Xuanwu Guards protected the First Emperor and all the accompanying princes and nobles and ministers, and a group of people went to play by the Five Lakes.

This time, Emperor Qin Shi was particularly excited, and a group of accompanying princes and ministers were all very relaxed.

The situation in Daqin today is completely different from the tour six years ago. After a severe crackdown and continuous crackdown on illegal crimes, the civil atmosphere of Daqin has become so good that it is outrageous.

Especially after the Xiang family's rebellion was pacified, the entire south, especially Kuaiji County, was a model of peace and tranquility. There was no gangster on the street on weekdays. The scene of gangsters and gangsters roaring in groups and roaring away a few years ago has become a long-standing memory of the people of Wuzhong.

The country is peaceful, the economy is prosperous, the people are subdued, and the roads are smooth. All the way is to pass through rural towns with new houses, the mountains and rivers are neat and farmlands are neat. The civilians who carry pots and slurries along the way are all rosy and clean. The famous scholars, gentry, merchants and fellow villagers who come to pay homage are all praised and praised in words. The gifts given to the emperor are piled up in every hall. Although it is not necessarily a luxurious and valuable thing, it can be seen from the enthusiasm of all classes that the people now have a strong sense of respect and belonging to the First Emperor and the Qin Dynasty.

After seeing the prosperity of the people and the love affair, Emperor Qin Shi’s mood became better and better. Although the weather was unbearable, he was so happy all day long.

In addition, Chen Xu, a master of food, has been pondering all kinds of delicious foods and snacks all day long. The inspection process of eating, drinking and having fun is completely a joy that cannot be experienced in the lonely palace.

The happy First Emperor didn't even want to go back to Xianyang.

Whenever I go to a scenic spot, eating delicious food and drinking wine, I will inevitably feel moved and have the urge to stay for the rest of my life.

Every time the First Emperor said such words, from the prince to the prince, they all begged the First Emperor to the country and the country of Qin. The Qin must be prosperous and strong under the leadership of His Majesty. Therefore, the First Emperor could only give up with regret and reluctantly promised his ministers to go back to become the Emperor of Qin.

In this relaxed and pleasant mood, the atmosphere of the First Emperor's tour was very harmonious. In addition to following the journey to visit these beautiful mountains and rivers, the First Emperor also often gave some strategies for governing the country, gave some questions and exams, and asked Chen Xu and other ministers to comment. Those who received praise would naturally have extra points when they were crowned kings in the future. So a group of young masters often humbly asked Chen Xu and others for advice, and the entire parade team was full of laughter and joy.

Wuzhong gambling clams has long been listed as an important entertainment event for this tour by everyone on the road.

When Emperor First Emperor bet on clams, the scene must be the biggest.

When the First Emperor came, the entire five lakes were sensation. People from several counties around began to ride horses, row boats and wait a few days ago. Therefore, when the First Emperor and Chen Xu and other large groups of sunglasses in brocade robes and uniforms arrived at the shore of the lake where the most lively lake was harvesting shells and gambling clams on weekdays, hundreds of thousands of people were cheering and thundering the entire lake beach. The waiting people on the lake beach were densely welcomed. The ground was almost impossible to see on the miles long beach. On the lake surface, thousands of fishing boats were also greeted by boats, and the sounds of paying homage to the emperor came one after another.

"Your Majesty, the people of Kuaiji County are indeed very enthusiastic!" Standing beside Emperor First Emperor, Chen Xu took off his sunglasses and sighed.

"If there was no Grand Master, I wouldn't have seen this lively event!" The First Emperor also took off his sunglasses and nodded with emotion, then turned to Meng Yi and other groups of nobles and marquis and said, "How about it, my dear friends are thinking about it all the way. Now that I have come, I will not invite the fishermen to catch lake clams and bet!"

"Your Majesty is not in a hurry. We have only heard of this gambling clam, but the initiator is the Grand Master. Now the Grand Master is in front of you, of course, the Grand Master will arrange it. What do you think?" Meng Yi looked around and looked around and felt a little unaware of his ability, so he had to pull Chen Xu out.

"Natural, we are just watching the fun and trying our luck. Please arrange it by the Hou Qinghe, so that we can open our eyes to how to bet on clams!" A group of young men and Hou Qing bowed and agreed.

"Then it depends entirely on the arrangement of the Grand Master. The newspaper said that the gambling clams all depend on luck. Whether there is or not, all my dear friends will just treat it as an entertainment!" The First Emperor nodded with a smile.

Chen Xu had no choice but to smile bitterly and find four familiar merchants from Wuhuyuan who were accompanying him, and then called the county magistrates of Kuaiji County to give him some careful advice. The group of people who were instructed to scatter. Soon, the people watching the fun on the lake beach began to retreat under the scolding of the weizhan. Half a moment later, a huge open space appeared above the lake beach, and some dark-skinned and proficient water-based fishermen were summoned to go down to the lake to catch shells, and the fishing boats gathered on the lake also began to slowly spread out to the blue lake surface to fish deep in the five lakes.

After all this was arranged, fishermen who had already caught large clams came to offer shells under the leadership of the imperial guards.

The clam gambling activity today has changed a bit, mainly because it looks more professional.

Since Chen Xu left last year, some jewelers in Wuzhong who have been doing jewelry business around the Five Lakes all year round have set up several professional gambling markets in some densely populated places around the Five Lakes, built some wooden sheds, and built some wooden tables to attract more wealthy people to participate.

At present, Emperor Shi, Chen Xu and others have already sat in the wooden shed under the arrangement of the new Kuaiji County Magistrate. A wooden platform in front is placed in the open air. The lake clams presented by the fishermen are placed on the ground according to the size. Those who participate in the clam betting can choose to buy them themselves, or the clam betting can be placed one by one on the wooden platform to bid for opening.

However, today we accompanied the emperor and a group of boring Gongzi Qinghou to play, so bidding was the main method.

Chen Xu took off his brocade robe, put on a worn straw hat borrowed from the fishermen, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the front of the wooden platform, swept his eyes and picked up a large clam about one foot and five inches, and put it on the platform. Then he looked up at the First Emperor and others and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, betting on the clam is very simple. The base price of this clam is twenty yuan, and the price is no less than five yuan each time. It is the same as the rules of the Beijing Auction House. Those who have the higher price will be opened. If there are pearls, they will make money. If there are pearls, they will be the winner of the bidding..."

"Marquis Qinghe doesn't need to say much. I have already understood the rules of gambling clams. Let's start quickly!" Someone couldn't help but say loudly.

"Okay, the gambling clams has officially begun. Your Majesty and you all, please bid!"

Chen Xu shrugged and picked up a wooden hammer, so many people, including the First Emperor, raised their hands to bid. Because it was the first time to bet on clams, and they were all varieties that were not short of money. Soon, the bidding for the first clam shell reached more than 100 yuan, which only stunned the officials, gentry and celebrities in Wuzhong who were standing nearby to watch the fun.

During the fierce bidding, the price of this clam was soon over 200 yuan, so Chen Xu had to knock on the wooden hammer to terminate the auction. After explaining the success chance of gambling the clam again, the First Emperor and a group of talents calmed down slightly from the excitement. In the end, the highest bidding for this clam stayed at the unprecedented high price of 230 yuan.

One foot and five inches of clams are quite common in Taihu Lake, especially in summer, children with better water properties can get lucky in waters ten feet offshore. As for adult fishermen with better water properties, they can get more than ten in a day when they are lucky three or five feet deep underwater. The purchase price of this medium-sized clam is currently around five cents per day.

But even for such a lake clam with pretty good quality, the chance of beads being produced is less than one percent.

In other words, you may only have a chance to bloom pearls at least 500 yuan. Even if there are pearls inside, it depends on the quality and size. It is possible that the pearls that are opened can't even be collected back.

Therefore, this is also the reason why although gambling clams are quite lively, the price of lake clams has never been high. Every time gambling clams is hot and the price is relatively high, a large clam often comes out of water, which is more than two or even three feet above, and there are more people participating.

However, for a group of laymen such as Emperor Qin Shi and Meng Yi who do not understand the market, they are representative of the fact that there are too many money and stupid people.

"Haha, open it quickly, I want to make a fortune!" Li Shun, wearing a brocade robe, jumped up excitedly and rushed to the edge of the wooden platform.

Chen Xu could only roll his eyes to celebrate this guy who had no business mind, and ordered a fisherman next to him who was responsible for opening clams to take action.

Li Shun and Meng Yi are similar. They are both very interested in getting promoted and getting rich, but they have some brain cancer and gambling activities that rely entirely on luck. They are not more profitable if they have money. Most of the people who make money are not rich, but those who meet accidentally.

There is a saying in the gambling stone world that gods cannot break the jade.

This rule can also be used on gambling clams.
