The city where the Armored Gate is located is called Daliang City, and as Daliang City is the capital of Wei State, the scene in the city is more lively and prosperous than other cities.
The moment Zhuge Qingyun led the empress out of the armored door, bursts of noisy bargaining could be heard in his ears. Restaurants and shops could be seen everywhere on the street. The streets were busy with traffic and people coming and going in an endless stream.
"Husband, they want to build a new Huanyin Workshop here, so I'll leave it to you to make money~"
"Don't worry, Madam, I will let you see what the legendary God of Gamblers is today!"
Zhuge Qingyun looked at the empress's coquettish little daughter's posture and couldn't help laughing. He hugged her waist and rushed towards the largest gambling house in Daliang City.
…
The 'Jinyu Gambling House' is the largest gambling house in Daliang City. It is said that it was opened by members of the royal family of the Wei Kingdom. Therefore, no one dares to cause trouble in the 'Jinyu Gambling House', and no one dares to cheat in the gambling house.
There is a big difference between 'Jinyu Gambling House' and other gambling houses. The people in 'Jinyu Gambling House' do not sit on the bank, but provide a safe gambling table for gamblers to play against each other.
Bet, they will eventually take a 1% handling fee from the money earned by the winner.
Although the people in the 'Jinyu Gambling House' do not play bankroll, there are still a lot of gamblers who are willing to gamble at the 'Jinyu Gambling House'.
Because the "Golden Jade Gambling House" is very safe, no matter you are a beggar or a noble, as long as you enter the "Golden Jade Gambling House", you must abide by the rules here.
In other gambling houses, gamblers may have to worry about being cheated after winning money, but in the 'Jinyu Gambling House', they don't need to worry about such things.
In the 'Golden Jade Gambling House', even if a beggar wins a noble's fiefdom, the nobleman has no choice but to admit defeat, otherwise the people from the 'Golden Jade Gambling House' will personally come to help the beggar gambler get his money back.
.
And if the aristocratic gambler still wants to default on his debt, the people from the 'Gold and Jade Gambling House' will use all means to steal items of corresponding value from him as gambling money, including his life.
It is precisely because the background of "Jinyu Gambling House" is strong enough and its work is principled that it can become the largest gambling house in Daliang City.
As the largest gambling house in Daliang City, the 'Jinyu Gambling House' is overcrowded every day, and the gambling house is even more noisy. However, today's gambling house seems to be exceptionally quiet.
The largest gambling table of the 'Golden Jade Casino' was crowded with hundreds of gamblers, and the faces of these gamblers were full of admiration and excitement.
"I...I lost..."
Sitting opposite Zhuge Qingyun, the wealthy businessman of Wei State looked at the cards that had just been dealt on the gambling table. He felt dizzy and his face was pale as he lay on the ground.
"Shen Qianshan, according to the bet just now, the clothes and jewelry you are wearing have been lost to Mr. Zhuge. Please pay the bet!"
After the shopkeeper of the 'Golden Jade Gambling House' finished speaking, several beefy gambling house guards quickly stepped forward and stripped the wealthy businessman from Wei State, leaving only a pair of underwear to hide his shame.
When the gamblers around him saw Shen Qianshan's miserable appearance, they couldn't help showing sympathy and gloating in their eyes.
You must know that Shen Qianshan is a well-known wealthy businessman in Daliang City. It is said that he is in the jewelry business. He owns more than 20 jewelry stores. Although he is not as rich as the country, he is still rich.
Originally, Zhuge Qingyun brought the empress to the 'Golden Jade Casino' just to earn an initial amount of capital before withdrawing, but he did not expect that Shen Qianshan would take the initiative to show up.
The empress was originally a peerless beauty, and with the change of profession to the 'Ice Queen' and the blessing of the 'Elven Giant' bloodline, her charm was enhanced to the level of being the most beautiful in the world.
After Zhuge Qingyun took the Empress into the 'Golden Jade Gambling House', many wealthy businessmen and gamblers attracted the Empress' attention, and Shen Qianshan was also one of them.
Shen Qianshan likes to gamble a lot when he has nothing to do. He is also a relatively strong gambler, so he plans to use gambling to force Zhuge Qingyun to lose the empress to him.
In order to win the Empress, Shen Qianshan specifically set a prerequisite for the bet with Zhuge Qingyun, that is, the bet must be over until one party has nothing to lose.
Zhuge Qingyun naturally welcomed the big fat sheep like Shen Qianshan who came to his door.
So in the next half hour, Zhuge Qingyun showed impressive gambling skills, turning Shen Qianshan from a wealthy man to a penniless pauper.
I have to say that Shen Qianshan is indeed a wealthy businessman in the Wei State. His total net worth is about fifty thousand taels of gold. The ratio of gold to silver in this era is one to twenty, which is equivalent to one One million taels of silver.
Because the stakes between Zhuge Qingyun and Shen Qianshan were so large, they also attracted other gamblers in the gambling house.
In order to maintain order in the gambling house, the shopkeeper of the gambling house had to personally come forward and lead dozens of tall gambling house guards to form a human wall around the gambling table to prevent the watching gamblers from disturbing Zhuge The bet between Qingyun and Shen Qianshan.
When those gamblers witnessed Zhuge Qingyun using a gold coin to win away Shen Qianshan's vast wealth, their eyes gradually changed when they looked at Zhuge Qingyun. It was a look that saw God. They saw it with their own eyes. The birth of a 'gambling god'.
Fifty thousand taels of gold is just a number, but if it is converted into items of the same value, it is an astonishing amount of wealth.
In the original plot, Jade Tiger was plotted by Han Fei, and in the end, in order to pay the gambling capital of 10,000 taels of gold, he could only use the remaining property on hand to pay.
In addition to the five thousand taels of gold in cash, the remaining five thousand taels of gold were spent on two boxes of fine pearls and jade, three boxes of emerald agate, 900 pieces of antiques, 300,000 acres of Nanyang real estate, and 100,000 acres of negative millet real estate. Huayang Real Estate's 30,000 acres, Jade Villa, Lanxiu Villa, and five thousand people's deeds of sale were mortgaged at a discount.
Although the value of so many items must have dropped significantly due to the discounted mortgage, it is enough to show the high purchasing power of five thousand taels of gold.
The value of five thousand taels of gold alone is so high, let alone the fifty thousand taels of gold that Zhuge Qingyun won from Shen Qianshan.
…
"Now you have lost all the clothes on your body. If I hadn't been afraid that your little earthworms would stain my wife's eyes, the fig leaf on your body would be mine, and you wouldn't be able to afford any other money." , that’s it for today!”
Zhuge Qingyun glanced at the lost Shen Qianshan, turned to the empress and said: "Yun'er, let's go! It just so happened that we won a few villas just now. Pick one you like and transform it into 'Huanyin Workshop' Be the helmsman!"
