Chapter 403 Losing the red-eyed gambler
In a casino in Nanjing City, Zhao Erlu sat in a lobby of the casino, holding a deck of cards in her hand, and was playing a new way of playing gambling cards with two other gambling friends.
This kind of gameplay is called Doudizhu, and it is said that it was invented by the Jinyiwei in Huguang. Because most of the gentry of Huguang either surrendered to Jiannu or participated in the rebellion of the two kings, almost all the gentry of Huguang were searched by the Jinyiwei.
Whether it was surrendering to Jiannu or participating in the rebellion of the two kings, it was a serious crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of pursuing a crime of
Although Zhu Cilang, the saint of the Ming Dynasty, is kind and has no desire to kill more people. However, the national laws must be strictly enforced. Killing the nine clans may not be killing all of them, nor is it cruel to kill all men and women within the nine clans. Instead, those gentry who are plotting against rebellion, the people within the nine clans will be punished for death but they will escape from the death penalty.
The family was confiscated, the family property was confiscated, and the lives of a family of males were left behind. This was already the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor. All the property in the implicated people was confiscated, and all the males were sent to Qiongzhou for hard labor. It can be said that the implicated family could no longer turn over. More than ten years later, if they were lucky enough not to die of exhaustion in the mine, they could regain their freedom.
But the gentry who had regained their freedom could no longer return to their original homes, but would be sent onto a ship and sent thousands of miles away to serve as colonists.
It is precisely because the landlords who have been oppressed by them for generations will not come back, so the farmers in Huguang area cheered and were ecstatic to turn over and become masters.
The turned-up peasants became militias of the imperial village. From then on, they neither needed to pay tenant rent to the landlords who had ridden on them before, nor to bear taxes from the imperial court. They only needed to rent the fields of the imperial village. 40% of the harvest each year were paid to the treasury as the imperial village tenant rent, and the rest were their own.
40% of the tenant rent was a conscientious price in that era. At that time, the tenant rent increased by at least 50%, and 50% of the tenant rent was still a barren land in the northwest. In the wealthy land in the south, the tenant rent increased by at least 60%.
Now, the tenants in Huguang have become militiamen in the imperial village. They rented fertile land for the imperial village, and only had to rent for 40% of the rent, and they did not have to bear any taxes from the court. This is a great news for the farmers. Therefore, in the Huguang area, the game of losing landlords invoked by the Jinyiwei quickly became popular in Huguang and spread to Jiangnan.
In fact, the game of Doudizhu was invented by Zhao Peng, but he gave this "patent" to his subordinate Jinyiwei. After the game of Doudizhu appeared, it was very popular with gamblers who were hiding in major casinos, because the gameplay of this kind of card is very exciting, especially when it is too much, it will double and double again, and the amount of money can reach hundreds of dollars.
Landlord wants more bombs, it depends entirely on the way of dealing. The most popular way to dealing in Nanjing now is, for example, if one card is shown, each person will first deal three cards, then leave three trump cards, and then each person will deal fourteen cards, and all of them will be dealt. By the same token, if one old k is shown, each person will deal thirteen cards, leaving three bottoms, and each person will deal four cards in the second round; if the king is shown, Xiao Wang will deal four cards first and then three; the king will deal fifteen cards first and two.
Whoever is given the card that is revealed is called the landlord, the lowest point is one point, the highest three point, and the Meng is called the landlord. If the card is not read, the three points are called directly, then it will be doubled and become six points. If the other two companies see that the cards in their hands are good, they can double the landlord, which will become twelve points.
Zhao Erlu, who had already lost a lot of money, saw that the card that was showing was a 2-character card, but the 2-character card was sent to his hands. So he didn't look at the card and shouted directly: "I'm so stupid!"
After saying that, he took the trump card directly.
Zhao Erlu's next house picked up the cards and saw that the cards in his hand had two kings, against 2, three k, four q, four 3, except for one zero card, all of them were formed. Such cards were not called the landlord, but were snatched away by Zhao Erlu. He was angry and shouted loudly: "Double!"
Although the man had only single 2 and no king in his hand, he had four a, four 8 and three j, and his cards were pretty good. He heard his previous company shouting doubled, so he also shouted: "Double!"
Zhao Erlu Meng shouted, it was already six points, and the two farmers doubled up together, which was already twenty-four points. So Zhao Erlu picked up his card and looked at it, and found that he had a card with 2, and the other cards were so bad that they were terrible. Although there was a small bomb, the pair and three in his hand were very small, and there was no plane with three in a row.
Although people in that era didn't know what an airplane was, they heard from the Jinyiwei that the three signs in the company were called airplanes, so the saying of airplanes was widely circulated among the majority of gamblers.
Zhao Erlu took a bad hand, and there were broken cards everywhere. He thought to himself that if he played a single card, someone would be played by spring, and he still had a three-bit 10 in his hand, which was considered a relatively large card. He didn't have j, q, and a in his hand. It was probably all exploded. He played a three-bit 4 first, and used three-bit 10 to retract it. It wouldn't be spring. So he played three-bit 4 with one zero card.
When the next house saw Zhao Erlu coming out three 4, he shouted: "Three ks on the tube!" He directly suppressed the three ks, and then fought against two.
Another farmer shouted "By". When Zhao Erlu saw that the cards in his hand were not controlled by the three ks except for blowing up, he could only say "By". When the family played a pair of 2, Zhao Erlu's face turned blue.
After another farmer passed, the next farmer gave another single card. The other farmer saw that it was almost done, so he decisively fryed it with four a, and then threw out one four 8. Zhao Erlu's next farmer took it back four q, and then took another four 3, and finally the two kings played out.
"Hahaha, twenty-four times the bottom, spring, five blowouts, how many times it takes!" the next farmer shouted proudly.
The final result was 1,536 times, because Zhao Erlu was a landlord and wanted to lose to both families. In other words, Zhao Erlu lost 3,072 taels of silver in one go!
"Give you a discount, you will be exempted from the fraction of the 72 taels of silver. You will lose to each of us 1,500 taels of silver." A gambling friend said with a smile.
"But how can I get so much money? This is unlucky. Let's do it like this. If you play with it, I will definitely turn over." Zhao Erlu, who was so angry that she said anxiously.
"Bah, who will play with you without money? Do you want to make a fortune in vain? Write an IOU!" the gambling friend shouted, "After writing an IOU, get out of here. When will you pay back the money first and then play with you!"
Zhao Erlu had no choice but to write down the IOU, and the interest was also invoked on it, with one cent per day, which means that the interest rate for 3,000 taels of silver per day was 30 taels. Ten days later, it became 3,300 taels. Then, after ten days, the interest rate was calculated at 3,300 taels, and the profit continued to rise.
Looking at Zhao Erlu's back, the two gamblers pointed and pointed behind their backs: "It's not worth three thousand taels of silver to sell Zhao Erlu's house in Nanjing to us."
Another gambling friend said, "Don't that kid has a beautiful wife? You can use his wife to pay off the debt, and it can also be considered some money."
