At the archery range in the afternoon, Han Qian showed that he wanted to talk to Yang Yuanpu several times, but Yang Yuanpu did not give him a chance to be alone.
After returning to the East Academy Academy from the archery field to review the lessons taught by Shen Yang in the morning, Han Qian no longer looked for opportunities to get in front of Yang Yuanpu, but hid in a corner with Feng Yi and Kong Xirong to chat.
Feng Yi behaved better today than before, but he was used to being lazy. He had practiced riding and shooting for an hour, and his muscles and bones were soft. In the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, there were no maids or servants running over to help him squeeze his legs and knock his back to loosen his muscles and bones. Care to review your homework?
He pulled Kong Xirong, and Han Qian hid in a corner and couldn't help but take out the toss from his arms and play with it; Guo Rong and the newly appointed deputy commander of the guard battalion were waiting in the outer room and did not come in to disturb him if nothing happened.
The Tou Zi played by Feng Yi is a gambling tool of the popular "Wu Mu Opera" nowadays. It is a small wooden board with a flat middle and rounded ends. The front and back sides of the Tou Zi are painted in black and white, with five pieces in a group. , if five are thrown out and all are black, it is the best, four black and one white are the second best, and the others are "miscellaneous", and the outcome is determined by this.
Wumu Opera is currently the most popular gambling entertainment among young men from aristocratic families, besides "Liubo Opera". Han Qian was also quite addicted to it in the past. He had only been in Jinling for three or four months, but he lost a lot to Feng Yi and the others. money.
After integrating into the memory of Zhai Xinping, the man in the dream, Han Qian realized that there were so many exciting and exciting ways to gamble in the dream world. Even though he did not think of making every effort to make up for the waste of the previous six years during this period, he was very interested in Wumu Opera and Liubo Opera. These have also become boring.
Han Qian sat next to the window and took a dice from Feng Yi. It was somewhat similar to the dice in the dream world, but much simpler.
Or maybe the dice in the dream world were developed from the Wumu Opera Touzi of the time.
Han Qian was about to return the investment to Feng Yi when he saw Yang Yuanpu glance this way. He did not want to attract Yang Yuanpu and his mind was diverted to another matter.
At this time, he was convinced that his father, his grandfather, his eldest uncle, and his second uncle had serious ideological differences that made them unwilling to accept support from Xuanzhou in recent years. If he wanted to gain his father's trust, he could no longer learn from Han Ji Bronze Ware. The shop uses the money to squander it - in fact, it means that you cannot accept the Korean people's support without reason.
However, in the past two and a half days, he had forced Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo and others to get wives, and also adopted a bunch of hungry children into their laps. Suddenly, there were nearly fifty people in the house to feed.
The children of the family soldiers all practice martial arts, which consumes more money. This depends on their father's official salary, the harvest of the villa and the occasional rewards he can get, which is far from enough.
There were enough things that had bothered Han Qian these past two days, and it was only then that he suddenly thought of this.
Although the memory of Zhai Xinping, the man in the dream, was integrated into his blood and soul, Han Qian came up with many ideas for raising money, but they all required manpower and energy. However, Han Qian was accompanying the third prince Yang Yuanpu, except for major festivals. I can take a break during the holidays, but I can’t get away from doing other things on weekdays.
The coin in his hand made Han Qian suddenly think that there was no fairness in so-called gambling. Even if we did not consider games and probability calculations, some cheating techniques in the dream world would never be thought of by people in the world today.
Take the black and white toss in Feng Yi's hand as an example. It reminded Han Qian of an interesting coin game in the memory of Zhai Xinping, the man in the dream.
Although his memory was a bit fuzzy, the person in the dream, Zhai Xinping, was engaged in stock investment and had the most thorough research on game theory. Han Qian thought about it for a while and took a pen and paper to calculate it before confirming that it was feasible.
"What are you drawing on?" Feng Yi saw that Han Qian had written a bunch of weird symbols on the paper and didn't know what he was doing.
Han Qian held a toss in the palm of his hand and said to Feng Yi: "There is a kind of toss game. I can win or not lose. Can you believe it?"
"How is that possible?" Feng Yicai didn't believe Han Qian's words.
Although Han Qian was also wild and unrestrained in Xuanzhou, Xuanzhou could not be as prosperous as Jinling. He usually only played cockfighting and dogfighting. In terms of the complexity of gambling, he could not be compared with the young masters in Jinling City.
Besides, Han Qian had just arrived in Jinling City and was gambling with Feng Yi and others. He almost lost his pants. Although Han Qian stopped going out for debauchery during this period, Feng Yi didn't believe that Han Qian had any way to win or not lose.
"You and I each hold a coin in our hands. After spreading it out, if they are both black, I lose three coins to you. If they are both white, I lose one coin to you. If they are different, you lose two coins to me. That's great.
?" Han Qian asked with a smile.
Feng Yi is no longer ignorant, but he has been forced to learn planning since he was a child. Hearing Han Qian talk about the rules, he thought about it for a long time. He still didn't understand this kind of gameplay. How could Han Qian win without losing?
"I don't believe it." Feng Yi shook his head and said.
"It won't get dark until an hour later. Let's play for an hour and we'll see." Han Qian patted the money bag tied around his waist and said with a smile.
Feng Yi was also the kind of person who wouldn't frown even if he spent a lot of money in the entertainment scene. A small win or loss of a few hundred dollars would just pass the time. Besides, with their way of playing, they wouldn't be worried that Guo Rong would come in and scold them for interfering with Yang Yuanpu's homework review.
Kong Xirong was bored and leaned over to watch Han Qian and Feng Yi playing tricks.
Li Chong and Yang Yuanpu carefully reviewed the salt method taught by Shen Yang in the morning, word by word.
Feng Yi still didn't believe it, so he asked Kong Xirong to go to his entourage and get several hundred copper coins. He asked Kong Xirong to count every ten games he played. In the first few tens, Feng Yi still made a small profit, so he proudly asked for it.
After exposing Han Qian's lies, he continued playing. Although he suffered a small loss, Feng Yi didn't care.
After two hundred coins were passed, Feng Yi was surprised to find that the copper coins in the money bag he asked Kong Xirong to hold were gradually decreasing. In less than half an hour, the money bag was empty.
"How could such an evil method be possible?" Feng Yi asked in surprise, "Do you have some magical power that allows you to see the touzi in my hand?"
"When I was a child in Chuzhou, I learned this kind of gambling method from a stranger. If it is explained thoroughly, everyone can win, how can it be called a magical power?" Han Qian said with a smile.
"Tell me quickly." Feng Yi asked anxiously.
"I have never used this method to earn your money and stuff before, so how can I teach you this kind of game to earn other people's money and stuff now?" Han Qian said pretending to be noble.
Feng Yi likes to gamble. Although he won a lot of money and goods from Han Qian in the past, when he gambles with other young men outside, he will lose 60 to 70 times out of 10.
Although the Feng family has a great business and would not mind the coming and going of one or two hundred cakes of gold, it always feels bad to lose.
"If you just teach me this method and it is really feasible, I will give you ten pieces of gold." Feng Yicai did not believe in Han Qian's innocence, so he immediately made a promise.
Ten cakes of gold are equivalent to three months of his father Han Daoxun's official salary. Feng Yi's move can be said to be quite generous, but Han Qian said disdainfully: "What if we just changed to gold to make money?"
How much money have you lost at this time? For ten loaves of gold, I will teach you this method to just one person?"
"What did you say?" Feng Yi was tempted by Han Qian, and naturally he would not let Han Qian go easily.
"Except for ten loaves of gold, every time you use this method to play games with others in the future, I will share 50% of your winnings!" Han Qian said.
"Are you too dark-hearted?" Feng Yi shouted.
"Only in this way will I keep my mouth shut and not teach this method to others!" Han Qian said.
This new way of playing may not be widely promoted, and if Feng Yi always wins with this method, no one will play with him as time goes by, and if the flow of money cannot be sustained, Han Qian will naturally ask a ruthless price at this time.
"How do I know your method will work if I use it?" Feng Yi suspected that Han Qian would trick him.
"I will know this method as soon as I hear it. You can go to Kong Xirong on the spot or go out to find Chen De to verify it," Han Qian said.
"Okay!" Feng Yi cares more about the feeling of winning, so he won't take ten pieces of gold seriously. In the future, he will have to wait until he wins money before giving Han Qian a share, so he won't lose too much.
Han Qian whispered to Feng Yi for a while.
"Is this really possible?" Feng Yi looked at Han Qian with hesitation and distrust and asked.
Han Qian's method was very simple. He asked Feng Yi to count silently in his mind and remember that seven black faces would randomly come out out of every twenty. This was a rate calculated using game theory. It was impossible for Feng Yi to break his mind even if he thought about it.
Discover the secrets.
Han Qian spread his hands and said with a smile: "I was taught by strangers when I was young. I didn't believe it at first, but to this day I have never failed. It's just that my father taught me to be a low-key person and had no intention of gambling for the name of God. At this time, I will
If I give you this opportunity, ten pieces of gold will be a real bargain for you."
"You come to compensate me for playing." Feng Yi still didn't believe that the so-called sure-win method could be so simple, so he asked Kong Xirong to accompany him to verify it on the spot.
Without considerable self-control or other interests and hobbies, there is no descendant of a wealthy family who is not good at gambling.
Sometimes Emperor Tianyou would invite his trusted ministers to the palace for gambling. However, Emperor Tianyou lost more and won less and often used this to build relationships with his ministers. I wonder if the third prince Yang Yuanpu has learned this.
Kong Xirong didn't know what Han Qian said to Feng Yi, but just a few words could make Feng Yi, who always lost and asked him to help him, become the god of gambling.
After all, Yang Yuanpu did not have the patience and calmness of an adult, and deliberately alienated Han Qian for a long time. At this time, he still couldn't control his inner curiosity, and his attention was attracted by the movement in the corner.
"A wise man is not knowledgeable, and a wise man is not wise." Li Chong still didn't pay attention to Han Qian's little tricks.
"A wise man is not knowledgeable, and a learned man is not wise." As the saying goes from the Tao Te Ching, the most direct and simple meaning is that smart people do not gamble with others. The deeper meaning is to warn people not to take risks easily.
"A wise man is not knowledgeable, he just doesn't know the wisdom of being knowledgeable!" Han Qian saw that Li Chong didn't forget to put eye drops on him at this time, so he casually said something to him.
Seeing Li Chong's glare, Han Qian shrugged and told him to see that the results of Feng Yi and Kong Xirong's verification were that there should be no arguing.
