Chapter 28 The Golden House
"Brother Tang, Brother Zhu, you two are very lucky today. Are you interested in going to the Golden House with us for a few games?" The one who came over to speak was Qin Wu from Dingtian Marquis' Mansion. Standing beside him were Deng Hui from Pinghu Marquis' Mansion, Xu Qiao from Xingguo Marquis' Mansion, and a group of scholars whom Tang Xiao didn't know at all.
Qin Wu and Deng Hui used to like to ask Tang Xiao and Zhu Gan for pocket money. At this time, they saw that these two fat sheep had so much money around them, so it would be strange if they were not moved.
As for Xu Qiao, who was aged by Tang Xiao and Zhu Gan, he also came over to join in the fun at this time. He was self-evident. It must be because Princess Yitai was unhappy and wanted to take the opportunity to trouble Tang Xiao. Before coming here, he made a private agreement with Qin Wu, Deng Hui and the scholars who were with him that as long as he could deceive Tang Xiao and Zhu Gan into the casino, everyone would win and lose together, win and score, and share the burden.
Xu Qiao's gambling skills and gambling luck are as strong as his martial arts. He took the initiative to win and lose together, and he was also fighting against the Tang and Zhu combination with the extremely bad gambling skills and gambling luck. Of course, other scholars couldn't get it.
"Come on! Who is afraid of who?" Fatty Zhu Gan counted the silver notes he had just obtained, and was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.
The fifth prince Zhu Bo, the seventh prince Zhu Yu, the twelfth prince Zhu Xiong and Princess Jingle also walked over here with Princess Yitai who had just recovered from her injuries. He heard that Qin Wu, Deng Hui and others were going to go to the Golden House to gamble, so they also wanted to join in the fun. They did not join Qin Wu, Deng Hui and Xu Qiao in the small group where they won and lost together, but just wanted to win back the money they had just lost to Tang Xiao at the gambling table.
Tang Xiao used to bet on gambling skills and luck, and was just like his name as a waste of money. He was famous in the capital of Taiwan. His money would be useless if he didn't make money.
...
The casino is an extremely wealth-making business, no matter which dynasty or the age of the East and the West, whether in Tang Xiao’s previous life or this life.
Officials condonate casinos will lead to social turmoil, so in general, in a more stable and united prosperous era, casinos are not allowed to exist. The more turmoil is, the more casinos are opened, and the more various management taxes and fees the official collects from the casinos. However, the social turmoil caused by gamblers in the casinos will further cause chaos in the turmoil.
According to Tang Xiao’s observation, the entire society is currently in a state of prosperity and troubled times, so the casino is also placed on the surface in the capital of Taiwan.
However, the gambling industry in Daming Dynasty has always been managed and operated by the officials, and the crackdown on underground casinos is very severe. On the one hand, the official can make money through the casinos, and in addition, it can appropriately control the degree of social unrest caused by gambling.
The boss who was in charge of the Golden House was a middle-aged man in his forties, with his surname Zou Peng, and a warrior of the first-class Diyuan level. The Zou family has been rich for generations. Zou Peng's brother was Zou Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Daming Dynasty. Zou Peng also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Daming Dynasty.
The Ministry of Revenue of the Daming Dynasty is equivalent to the current complex of the Ministry of Finance, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, etc.
The Golden House is very large, with three floors in total, each floor has more than 1,000 square meters. The first floor is a very ordinary and pure casino hall. Everyone in Taijing can come in and gamble. The second floor is an ordinary private room, and the third floor is a VIP private room. Of course, entering the second and third floors must be the VIP identity of the casino.
The casino hall on the first floor was filled with noise and shouting sounds. Although the ventilation effect of the entire hall was very good, it still felt very chaotic when it came in. From time to time, people were erected by soldiers guarding the casino from the side door because they could not afford to pay for gambling.
A group of royal noble children who came from the university were introduced into the VIP passage as soon as they entered the door, and they could directly reach the VIP private room on the third floor.
The arrival of several princes and princesses even alarmed the owner of the casino Zou Peng. He personally greeted him and led everyone to a luxurious private room.
Zou Peng is very thin, not tall, and has a smile on his face, which gives people a very humble feeling. Of course, this humility may be so because of the princess and the nobles.
This is the first time that Princess Yitai has come to such a place. On the one hand, she came here because she was brought by several emperor brothers and sisters, and on the other hand, she was also because of some confusion about Tang Xiao, and wanted to find opportunities to contact and understand him more.
The Princess Yitai hated Tang Xiao in the past. Every time she saw him salivating and leaning towards her, she would be angry. But now when she wanted to know him more, Tang Xiao didn't even look at her along the way, which made Princess Yitai feel a little frustrated.
"Brother Tang, Brother Zhu, you won so much money today, why don't we just play bigger, right?"
After entering the private room, Qin Wu from Dingtian Hou Mansion, under the instruction of Xu Qiao, instigated Tang Xiao and Zhu Qian.
"How old are you?" Tang Xiao replied to Qin Wu casually with a prodigal expression. He didn't pretend to be idle or pretend at this time. The gambling skills he had learned in his previous life could come in handy today.
"Haha, I see Brother Tang and Brother Zhu have a lot of money today, so why don't we just have one thousand taels per bet? What do you think?" Qin Wu looked sinister and cunning.
"One thousand taels per bet? Are you wrong?" Zhu Qian exclaimed. He had only played 10 taels per bet at most, and only played once. He was so frightened that he lost a lot. Of course, he lost badly in the end and did not dare to play again later.
The faces of the princes and princesses also changed slightly. Their moon silver in the palace was only about 50-100 taels. They had already taken a lot of savings from the appointment between Tang Xiao and Princess Yitai. Even if the people present could afford it, they would have a thrilling time.
However, these princes and princesses and nobles did not rely entirely on monthly silver to make a living. They each had their own methods to get some silver, one thousand taels a bet, and they were frightened, but they could still take out a few bets.
What's more, everyone made up their minds to get Tang Xiao's more than 30,000 taels of silver, so they couldn't bear to leave the child and trap the wolf!
After traveling to this world, Tang Xiao realized that the plot of taking out millions of taels of silver in online novels is absolutely nonsense. It is like although he has a big deal now, it is only more than 30,000 taels of silver. These princes and princesses are strictly disciplined on weekdays, and not all of them can spend a lot of money on their hands.
This is a world of warriors. The Golden House is a royal casino, and the gambling tools inside are all made of special materials. It is impossible to explore internal forces or spiritual consciousness into the dice barrel or detect dice points. Therefore, this kind of gambling cannot be used as a fraud like the methods in online novels that Tang Xiao saw in his previous life.
Gamblers can only rely on real listening to the sound and distinguish shape to infer the change of points in the dice barrel. However, this is exactly one of Tang Xiao's unique skills in his previous life. Moreover, after the bone washing and marrow cutting of the heaven and earth's vitality in this life, Tang Xiao's sensitivity in hearing, touch and vision has greatly increased, and his ability to listen to the sound and distinguish shape and deduce it in his heart has also been greatly enhanced.
Although there were many princes and nobles who entered the private room, only nine people bet after the bet were actually made. Qin Wu at the Marquis Dingtian Mansion, Deng Hui at the Marquis Pinghu Mansion, Xu Qiao at the Marquis Xingguo Mansion, fifth prince Zhu Bo, twelfth prince Zhu Xiong, Princess Jingle and Princess Yitai who had been watching Tang Xiao, then Tang Xiao and Zhu Gan.
"Seventh brother, don't you play?" The fifth prince Zhu Bo asked the seventh prince Zhu Yu beside him.
"I'll just look." The seventh prince Zhu Yu smiled, but his eyes glanced at Tang Xiao from time to time, as if he was observing something.
There are two ways to play dice in this kind of aristocratic private room. One is that people from the casino are on the banker, and those who participate in the gambling bet bets, bet points, etc. The other is Tang Xiao and others’ current gameplay. Pay the private room fee, and how to bet is determined by the staff in the private room.
Unlike Tang Xiao's previous life, the most dice gameplay between the scholars of Daming Dynasty is to compare the size of the size. The participants each shake the dice drum once, the one with the largest points wins, and the person with the same points shakes it again until the winner is decided. However, Tang Xiao has practiced this gameplay many times with his maids.
