Chapter 499 [Rolling Money]
For the citizens of the Imperial City, after the carnival of Qingfeng Festival, the excitement did not end. Regarding the Cavaliers Association, the "competition meeting" has long been the focus of public opinion on the streets.
A few streets near the headquarters of the Cavaliers Association. Over the past two days, they have been overcrowded. To this end, the Metropolitan Police Department had to increase its staff several times to maintain order there.
Looking at the various warriors, holding a weapon in a long queue in the long street in front of the Knights Association, non-stop from morning to night.
For Deron, he's almost exhausted. Although Du Wei later asked Little Zach to send him a lot of manpower, he opened a lot of registration points in front of the gate of the Knights Association ... But this lively event lasted for two days!
In just the first two days, the number of applicants exceeded one thousand!
According to the feedback information obtained, in addition to many unacceptable low-level samurai who are mixed in the imperial capital, there are still many guards in the noble family who want to be outstanding. !! If you can make a name for yourself at the contest, it will be better than being a bodyguard for the rich forever!
On the second day of registration, the day after Qingfeng Festival, a big news spread quickly in the capital!
The "Holy Knights", which is well-known in the mainland and has always been known as the First Knights of the mainland, is a powerful armed group that defends the church. Actually also participated!
The current two Cavaliers, two eighth-level knights, Stegall and Randall, plus four seventh-level knights, and a dozen sixth-level knights, all signed up for this place. game!
At the end of the streets of the imperial capital, people talked about this interesting news after tea, and many people also talked about it: when the powerful holy knights and the proud guards of the nobles fought. Who will win and who will lose?
When it comes to people, there are always some strange hunting psychology, especially such a big lively, or a major game! Naturally, many people like to guess and discuss future wins and losses.
The Holy Knights sent a group of strong players to participate, and no doubt poured a barrel of oil into the fire! Therefore, whether it is a teahouse hotel or a car shop in Diduli, the topic of discussion in people's mouths will always be "that competition meeting", "holy knight" and so on ...
This is the next day.
On the third day, a bigger blockbuster caused a bigger and stronger response in the capital!
The emperor's most popular first minister, the youngest genius of the empire. Known as the Grand Duke of Tulips, the youngest general in the Empire, the youngest general in the empire who had 100,000 soldiers and a province leader at the age of eighteen, rejected grasslands in the west and destroyed the warlords in the east. Actually signed up for the contest! !!
Du Wei is one of the most popular celebrities in the empire in recent years! You may not know the name of the Regent, you may not know who the head of the Holy Knights is, and you may not even know the age of Pope Paul XVI ... But as a person of the Roland Empire, if you do not know Du Dimensional words. Then you will be treated as an idiot!
Even because of Du Wei's youthful youth, the teenager succeeded in fame, and he was a top noble, young and handsome. He has long become a well-known idol in the royal noble circle. I do n’t know how many noble girls dream of marrying this empire The most popular young idol. Do not know how many aristocratic youth, Du Wei in his heart as his life's goal.
At such times, such a brilliant person. Actually announced to participate in this contest! ?
After everyone was shocked, this storm of public opinion immediately set off another climax!
Is Duke Tulip the ultimate winner?
Isn't Lord Duke Tulip just a magician?
I don't seem to hear that Lord Duke Tulip is good at martial arts, right?
When a question was thrown out, soon, some people who worshiped Du Wei quickly formed the Tulip Guards spontaneously and started a war of words with those who questioned.
Everyone knows Lord Duke Tulip! He is a well-known mainland powerhouse!
What? Is he a magician? Hum, whoever stipulates a magician cannot learn martial arts! With the genius of Lord Tulip, what can't he learn!
Hum, he doesn't know how to martial arts? Don't forget it. Adult, he is not just a literary minister! He is the youngest general in the Empire! As an empire general. How could it not be martial arts?
Later, Du Wei led his troops to break the grassland cavalry in Giliat. And the annihilation of the Northwest Army in the rebels over and over again in the Northwest War was rumored.
Of course, Du Wei, the party, did not expect to bring about this effect, and in this wave of enthusiasm, Du Wei's reputation was once again mentioned to a very high level!
In addition to the high-profile participation of Lord Duke Tulip, the other news is that Mr. Zach the Little, the business director of the Tulip family in the imperial capital, once again tinkered with something that made money: gaming!
Gambling has existed since ancient times. And in several industries of Didu controlled by Xiao Zak, at the same time, they began to accept bets on the victory and defeat of the contest!
This is a naked act of gambling. Although imperial statutes do not prohibit gambling, this public gathering of gambling is still morally unethical.
But it ’s something the Tulip family does. Who does n’t have long eyes dare to sue Du Wei? Of course, Dewey is not without political enemies, but even if he reports it, there will be no results! Because this time the betting behavior is obviously with a certain official color!
Behind him, Du Wei has promised that he will subsidize a portion of the proceeds to the imperial finances that are overwhelmed by military expenses!
The Empire originally had some underground casinos controlled by giants, but when it comes to gambling. Who can have Dewey Mastery? He is from a previous life. The kind of gambling routines that he saw and seen in various places in the previous life. He has already become very skilled. The gambling **** made in the Roland Plains were just a little warm-up.
Obviously, this time the Tulip family will make a fortune again!
There are more people in the capital who have money and leisure! Hundreds of years of peace have fattened a large number of wealthy aristocrats in Diduli. These aristocrats who are happy and miserable, and who like to have fun when they are full of food, have enough gold coins in their pockets to spend their money. and so. A lot of people are willing to participate in such lively things.
Du Wei's "evil gambling group" is obviously a collusion between government and business ... even the organizer was dragged into the water by him!
The empire official led by Prince Chen became the umbrella of this gambling group. Even in the most lively days of betting, the Emperor's Department of Public Security was ordered to send additional staff to maintain the order around the Duwei industry!
The Cavaliers Association was also involved ... Deron was seduced by this wealthy plan. He was responsible for providing all the applicants' information to those professionals responsible for computing under Little Zack.
Those who have carefully cleaned up all the applicants' age, identity, origin, and education. After the Samurai rank and other information, some players who are considered to be promising are selected as the betting place and announced.
And this result. It also caused a very subtle thing: before the world's first competition started, many contestants had already become famous by relying on this as a betting object! !!
After the calculations of the professionals of Xiao Zach, the latest odds will be announced on the bulletin boards at the door of several industries as soon as possible to attract various gamblers to place bets. And also based on some unexpected situations. Modify odds at any time.
For example, a player was still hot the day before, and the next day when he came down while riding a horse, his odds fell sharply.
Some unpopular people suddenly got into a fight because of a dispute with other contestants in the hotel at night. After showing their good strength, they immediately became popular!
And the betting project that Du Wei and Zach came up with are strange: it's not just about betting on who is the champion! Instead, bet on the top 50!
And it's not just betting who wins and loses. In addition to winning or losing, you can also bet on life and death! The winner of the bet is slightly injured. Severe injuries, or how long you can support in the game ... wait, wait, all kinds of strange betting methods are really amazing their imagination!
In addition to gambling, another new thing that is derived from gambling has quickly become a hot and tight item in Didu! This kind of thing, du Wei named "Sai Jing"!
The "horse scripture" and the "horse scripture" of the game. The lottery industry has the same "caijing". In the design of Dewey, this "race" is launched every seven days with the latest edition! The above details all the information about the most popular participating samurai recently. Also list their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, there will be listed some potential characters for your reference ...
This kind of thing quickly swept the entire Empire! After a thousand copies of the first issue of the "Story" were printed and released, they were all sold out in less than a day!
After receiving this news, the deron knight who was responsible for printing the "race" (because all the participant information was provided by the knights association), immediately made two decisions: 3,000 copies were printed! At the same time triple the price of each volume!
Due to Dewey ’s advice, Deron tinkered with a new thing. The hardcover version of the "vip game classics" is more exquisitely printed. Some even invited some artists to draw some popular players. Portrait! There are also some latest internal information news ... Of course, the price is also more expensive, such a booklet can sell a gold coin! Of course, for this kind of thing, the sales group is not ordinary gamblers, but those nobles and rich people who like to spend big money on betting.
Delong almost smiled with a face these days, he kept running between the printing workshop and the Cavaliers Association, devoting all his energy to the printing of the game.
The sale of the first period of the game, he got hundreds of gold coins ... Although there is not much money, this is a pie from the sky after all! Delong, who had been so poor, couldn't even close his mouth.
After the second edition of the Classic was launched, the hardcover version of the Classic was favored by the vast aristocrats of the Imperial City. After all, as a noble, they always liked to pay attention to their noble status. Use the same stuff as those mud legs on the streets! Therefore, although the price of this hardcover edition of the booklet has reached a gold coin, which is equivalent to a few days spent by an ordinary family, it is still in short supply.
The second period of the game allowed Delong to earn more than 1,000 coins!
Du Wei could not help but be surprised when he saw such a welcoming scripture. He originally just thought at will, in the age of "mosquito legs are small but also meat," he came up with an idea for Deron Those who made a little fortune did not expect this thing to become so popular. Since the third period, the sales volume has exceeded 10,000 copies! !!
I heard that they have been sold to the towns around the Imperial Capital! Even the expired ones have become very sought-after!
"Uh ... then can I think about it and get some stuff like" newspapers "?" Du Wei couldn't help itching.
Don't think that Dewey made less money by making this kind of game. This kind of thing is mainly a way to control public opinion! For example now, as long as Du Wei is willing, he can use this kind of game to make a big hit at any time! Then people will bet wildly on this hot player ...
What happened? Hum, naturally, the gambling group under Du Wei is going to make a lot of money!
"There are so many rich people in the Imperial City!" Du Wei was shocked to see the latest clearing data of the bets sent.
