In the eyes of everyone, Du He awarding an award to the Supreme Emperor was like someone conferring a title on Li Er, which was absolutely intolerable.
Li Er hurriedly shouted boldly and was about to rush to the stage to stop Du He. However, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers, and the sound became louder and louder. The audience in front of Li Er suddenly stood up and blocked everyone.
Immediately there were disguised Imperial Guards around to push the crowd away, but when Li Eryi raised his head, he saw Du He had put a garland around Li Yuan's neck on the stage, and a huge iron trophy was stuffed into Li Yuan's neck.
In arms.
Du He picked up the loudspeaker and said: "I declare Li Shuisheng to be the Mahjong God of the First Mahjong Competition in Chang'an!"
Li Yuan wore a wreath and held a trophy in his hand. At his feet was a box worth one hundred thousand dollars, a mahjong machine on the left, and two exquisite revolving wooden chairs on the right. The old boy stood on the stage, smiling like a child.
.
Everyone looked at it and were filled with envy. At this time, many people felt that the prize was not important anymore, but the title of Ma God was very rare.
Li Er looked at Li Yuan's cheerful look, and his heart was filled with self-blame for an instant.
For many years, he had never seen Li Yuan smile so cheerfully.
"My son is unfilial..."
Li Er waved his hand: "Go back to the palace and leave some manpower to protect the safety of my father!"
With that said, Li Er left with a group of confused ministers.
…
The mahjong competition has ended long ago, but the popularity of mahjong has not passed at all.
In just ten days, there were more than 80 mahjong parlors in Chang'an City, and the speed is still growing.
In addition to the Imperial City, Chang'an City has more than a hundred squares. Du He's goal is that every square has a mahjong parlor from Datang Furniture Factory. In some bustling squares such as Pingkangfang, one mahjong parlor is simply not enough.
.
He made a rough calculation and found that at least 200 mahjong parlors would be enough.
In order to provide high-quality services, Duhe launched the Master Competition.
Daily statistics from more than 80 mahjong parlors in the city show that each time a player wins, he or she will accumulate 1 point.
Points from 0 to 200 are considered Black Iron, and every 40 points are divided into a rank, namely Black Iron 1, Black Iron 2, and Black Iron 5.
Points from 201 to 500 are bronze, and every 60 points are divided into a rank, ranging from Bronze 1 to Bronze 5.
Points from 501 to 1000 are silver, and every 100 points leads to a rank, from Silver 1 to Silver 5.
Points from 1001 to 2000 are gold...
Points from 2001 to 5000 are diamonds...
With more than 5,000 points, you become a master.
If you have more than 20,000 points, you will become Ma God.
Nowadays, there is only one Ma Shen, Li Shuisheng.
However, there are rumors in the world that there is actually another level above the Ma God, which is the Super Ma God that mortals cannot touch. There is only one Super Ma God, and that is the County Bo.
Legend has it that Du He never looked at the cards when playing cards. He just threw them away and found a flower on the kong. He drew the small seven pair.
Because this mahjong was invented by Du He, Du He can get whatever cards he wants.
As soon as the Master Competition was launched, it caused a sensation, and the business of various mahjong parlors exploded. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a huge crowd.
In just a few days, there were bronze-level players.
For a time, all the talk in the streets was about the Master Competition.
"The Erniu family's child is only eleven years old and has already become a bronze medalist. He was invited by a mahjong parlor to serve as a consultant. He still gets five hundred coins a month. Tsk tsk!"
"If my brain hadn't been bad, I would have participated in the Masters Competition. Didn't you see that Sun Laizi used to walk with a limp, but since he reached Bronze One, he has become windy when walking!"
"Shan Pao's father was ill and lay in bed for several years. Once he got the Silver rank, all his illnesses were cured!"
…
The mahjong business spread and became the most popular entertainment activity in Chang'an City.
But a trouble is approaching Du He quietly.
The third day of June.
At Xinghuafang Mahjong Hall, a middle-aged man died suddenly on the spot after playing mahjong for three days and nights.
The ninth day of June.
In Yonglefang, on a mahjong table, an old man and a young man died suddenly at the same time.
For a time, people were panicked.
In Chang'an City, there are rumors everywhere that people will die when playing mahjong.
The mahjong business is about to suffer a huge impact.
Who knows, on the tenth and eleventh day of the lunar month, several more people died in succession.
At this point, a storm finally broke out.
In just two days, the business of the mahjong parlor suffered a heavy blow.
Seeing the decline in the business of this mahjong parlor, the business of mahjong machines and mahjong has also been affected, and many people have turned negative when talking about mahjong.
There is a rumor among the people that there is a devil in Mahjong, and once you play it, you will be haunted by the devil.
This rumor became more and more widespread, spreading like a storm.
When Du He heard this, it didn't matter. Anyway, in the past month, mahjong had made him a lot of money. At worst, he would close the mahjong parlor, stop the mahjong production line, and think of other ways to make money.
But the little beauty Li Lizhi didn't want to. In the past month, in order to promote the mahjong parlor and make money, as the majestic Princess Changle, she worked hard from dawn to dusk and worked tirelessly. The market she had finally established collapsed all of a sudden, and she couldn't stand it at all.
All day long, Li Lizhi locked herself in her room and cried.
Du He learned the news and hurried to Li Lizhi's room.
But he saw that Li Yuanshu was already at the side to comfort him.
Li Lizhi, who was wearing a goose-yellow skirt, was lying on the table but ignored anyone.
Li Yuanshu saw Du He coming and shook her head helplessly.
Du He waved his hand: "Yuanshu, please take the others out and I will persuade her."
Li Yuanshu knew that Du He had many clever ideas and would definitely find a solution, so she nodded and asked everyone else to leave the room.
Li Lizhi raised her head and looked at Du He with tears in her eyes: "Du He, I don't want to fail. I don't want mahjong to disappear like this. In order to promote mahjong, we have put in so much effort and even held the famous Chang'an Chang'an.
In the first Mahjong Competition, so many mahjong parlors were opened, but all of them will be gone overnight? I am not willing to accept it, I am not willing to accept it!"
The construction of the mahjong parlor was completely planned by Li Lizhi, and Du He was basically a hands-off shopkeeper. Now, seeing that her hard work has been severely damaged, the little beauty is filled with unwillingness and even a little angry.
Du He said: "In fact, I am also responsible for this matter. I only considered the heat brought by the Master Competition, but I forgot the harm involved. Otherwise, it would not have caused disaster. I have asked Zhang Jian to lead people to deal with it.
It's gone... Mahjong is gone, so we can open up new ways to make money, so we don't have to be sad here all day long."
Li Lizhi shook her head resolutely: "No, I will not be defeated. I must find a way to save the mahjong business. Otherwise, the furniture factory will lose an important income. I am the second shopkeeper of the furniture factory. I will never
Don't allow this to happen."
The little beauty's face was full of determination and her eyes were full of perseverance. She clenched her two pink fists and waved them in the air.
Seeing this, Du He suddenly said: "Okay, let's go together!"
