Origin Chapter 696: Gambling thieves

When Yinma River was in Mobei, it was a white market, that is, it opened during the day. After moving south, it became more and more prosperous. At this time, it has become an all-day business. The business model of Yinma River is similar to that of Goat Valley. Some are here, and they are bigger, more, and more complete than Goat Valley.

The black widow brought Wu Zhongyuan out for inspection mainly to show him the construction and operation results of the southward move in the past year. In addition to reporting the components of the work, there is another reason, that is, to ask Wu Zhongyuan to inspect the work, and to ask the leaders to inspect the work is It is very necessary. If the leaders do not raise any criticism after the inspection, then even if they acquiesce to their business model, even if there is any problem in the future, they will not be severely punished.

The first thing the three visited was Yichang Market. Since Wu Dalie and Black Widow belonged to the top management here, they didn't make public appearances often on weekdays, and not many people knew them, so the three of them walked in the street market. There was no crowd to stop and watch.

Different from the bizarre goods in the Goat Valley Night Market, the goods sold in the Yinmahe Market are mainly daily necessities, and the quantities are relatively large, such as salt barrels, cloth silk vehicles, cattle and sheep in groups, and there are already descendants. The prototype of the wholesale market, Wu Dalie did not have any vegetarian meals here. Under his suggestion, the Yichang Market in Yinmahe added official merchants.

The so-called official merchants are officially opened shops. They accept everything and sell everything. In the past, there was only easy exchange, and easy exchange was limited. , after having coins, you can exchange various commodities for coins, and then make targeted purchases, and people who come to easy exchange are often in a hurry to leave, so that the commodities they hold are in a hurry to sell, and in a short time It can be sold to official businessmen if it can’t be sold in time. Of course, the price will definitely be lower. It is also the establishment of official businessmen and the common use of coins that make Yinmahe accumulate a lot of wealth in a very short period of time. The speed of its accumulation of wealth is even Can be described as crazy.

As a leader, you must not be stingy with praise to your subordinates. The reason why your subordinates work hard is to please the leaders. He once participated in the war on the coast of the East China Sea, and afterward he ordered all those who participated in the war to be rewarded with bronze tops and cloaks with thorn pythons. Previously, the recipients were promoted in increments. This time, the two of them went up one tier, and they were rewarded with silver crowns. Cloak thorn.

Although this kind of reward is not in kind, it represents a great honor and a symbol of identity and status. Both are purple warriors, and the gold content of the solid-colored cloak and the thorny python cloak are completely different. Created. Facts have proved that this is a very clever approach. It can not only inspire fighting spirit, but also memorize merits. There are more and more purple qi warriors under his command, and he has to deal with more and more things. He may gradually forget his military exploits, but as long as he sees embroidered cloaks, he can remember what kind of contributions these people have made before.

Smart subordinates will never hide their ugliness when facing inspections by leaders. What the Black Widow is most worried about is Wu Zhongyuan's reaction and attitude towards gray industries. She has long known that Wu Zhongyuan hates capturing and selling slaves. The people's market has been cancelled, but brothels and gambling stalls are relatively large. This kind of thing is not allowed in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

Actually, the black widow's worry is not superfluous. Wu Zhongyuan is really disgusted by this kind of thing, because this kind of gray income will be criticized by others. A holy lord Mingjun should not use such dirty money as military expenses, but One can't be a man of moral cleanliness. Strictly speaking, the sponsorship given to him by Wan Shanhong is not really clean money.

The more you don't want to face things, the more you have to face them bravely. In the end, Wu Zhongyuan walked into the gambling stall accompanied by the two of them. To be precise, it should be a gambling building. Unlike the simple gambling stalls in Goat Valley, here The gambling stalls are all tall wooden buildings, and there is also a simple meal supply.

The essence of gambling is to get something for nothing. People who like to gamble are mostly lucky. Wu Zhongyuan didn't know much about gambling before, but the black widow was proficient in this way, and she explained the mystery in one sentence. Guessing the dice is still better than the big and small gambling stalls without cheating, but the gambling stalls will win. There will be countless draws and draws.

In addition to this, the gambling stalls will also charge **** fees. The winner is not necessarily a master. In case of winning too much money, the casino can send someone to **** the winner to the designated location of the other party, and the fee will be charged. It is one-tenth of the total winnings of the opponent.

Gambling stalls have their own observation positions, that is, a room where you can overlook the overall situation to prevent gamblers from cheating. Wu Zhongyuan looked down from the window and observed those more conspicuous gamblers.

The reason why gambling is liked by many people, in addition to the possibility of winning money, is that gambling can be very stressful, and stress often brings excitement, and excitement leads to a surge of adrenaline, which is exciting, all gamblers His faces were all nervous without exception, even those gamblers who pretended to be calm were actually very nervous.

Like the opening of Hunyuan Ding, gambling also has a process of anticipation. This process is a short-lived hope, and one can experience joy and frustration in a short period of time. Everyone has curiosity and desire to explore the unknown. This is why some people are addicted to gambling.

While Wu Zhongyuan was watching from a high position, Black Widow and Wu Dalie have been waiting nervously. Whether the gambling stall can continue to exist is only in Wu Zhongyuan's mind.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that the two wanted to know his attitude towards this matter, but he was not in a hurry to express his position. As a person with a higher education, he is very aware of the dangers of gambling, which will promote the atmosphere of getting something for nothing and preferring leisure to work. The first is that because gambling makes money quickly and loses money quickly, it is difficult for people who are addicted to gambling to work hard and work hard.

Second, gambling will ruin your family sooner or later. There is a saying in gambling stalls that you are not afraid of winning, but you are afraid that you will not come. As long as you come often, you will definitely lose. Because the casino eats and draws water, the chance of losing is higher, and everyone If you want to win if you win, and want to make money if you lose, you will definitely go bankrupt in the end.

The above two major harms are only harmful to oneself. In fact, gambling not only harms oneself, but also harms others. It seems that the debt repayment by his daughter is only one of the phenomena. The most serious one will breed theft and robbery. The ancients said, Gambling near theft, **** and murder, and gambling until the end has no choice but to steal and rob, is extremely harmful to the country and others.

After sitting in the high room for a quarter of an hour, Wu Zhongyuan got out of his seat and stood up, accompanied by the two of them, and walked outside the gambling building. While walking, he made three requests. One was to remove the nursery in the gambling stall. There are nurses on every gambling table. The task of nurses is not to make a fool, nor to be a ghost, but to mobilize the atmosphere, "lead by example" in big bets, big bets, and when they see them winning money, other people envy and follow suit, but in fact, gamblers What we don't know is that these people are gambling players themselves.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't look good when he made this request. Wu Dalie was at a loss when he heard the words. He had been in the Yinma River for a long time, but he didn't know that there was a nursery at the gambling table. Yes, she hadn't explained to Wu Zhongyuan that there were nurses they placed in the gambling stall, but Wu Zhongyuan was keen to find out.

The second request made by Wu Zhongyuan is to cancel the 10% rebate of the gambling stall. The so-called rebate means that the gambling stall will return one-tenth of the gambler's lost money to the gambler. On the surface, this is benevolent, but in reality Very vicious, gamblers will have the idea that even if they lose in the end, there is still a little left, which will reduce their worries.

The last requirement is to hang plaques at the gates of all gambling stalls, and write a letter willing to admit defeat, reminding everyone that gambling does not necessarily win, and the probability of losing is greater.

Although the requirements were stricter, in the end he decided to keep the gambling stalls. There was no way. In special times, the imperial court that was waiting to be rebuilt needed taxes, and the **** army also needed rice grain.

Then the two accompanied Wu Zhongyuan to the brothel.

There are many kinds of greed and lust, but the biggest proportion is lack of food. To put it bluntly, they are not full. In fact, most of the people who enter the brothel are foreign businessmen. At this time, the transportation is not as convenient as modern transportation. It takes a month or two for cattle and sheep to go to the Central Plains, and their physiological needs cannot be met. It is reasonable to enter a brothel. This is the same as the modern drivers who drive large trucks all year round and like to go to roadside shops. Ten Nine of them will go, and the remaining one is not not, but the one where the woman deceives herself into believing that her man is an exception.

Don't underestimate physiological needs. This is human instinct, and it is a rigid need second only to food and drink, especially for married people. They cannot live in two places for a long time, otherwise there will be problems. In modern times, many people go abroad People who work part-time will always find someone to partner with abroad. This is not an isolated phenomenon, but a very common ugly behavior. The only exception is the crew. They are truly trustworthy, and the reason why they are trustworthy is not their self-control. What a good thing, but there are no women on board, no chance to do bad things.

A person who eats sea cucumber and abalone on weekdays has no interest in potatoes and sweet potatoes. He was dragged on Xinyue Island for half a year. Every day, he resisted the huge temptation of Xinyuehu, even Xinyuehu. , the vulgar powder in the brothel will naturally not be looked down upon,

The brothel is full of filth and filth. Wu Zhongyuan was very repulsive to this kind of place. Can be an exception, not most people, but anyone!

Everyone will be subtly influenced by the external environment and others. If you live in a good environment and get along with a group of high-profile people, your character and self-cultivation will improve unconsciously. If you are often in a dirty environment In the middle, there are vulgar and ugly people around, and over time, they will become the same as them.

It is not unreasonable for Meng's mother to move three times. Eagles who stay in the flock all day will also become chickens, and chickens can also spread their wings and fly with eagles every day.

Wu Zhongyuan has no intention to stay in the brothel for a long time, even if he is watching from a top-down perspective, not everything is worth seeing, and some dirty things will not only dirty the eyes but also the heart.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly changed his mind. The voice from the next door attracted him, not humming, but "hard-hearted". Listening to the conversation, it should be the thought of a prostitute who is a young woman who has not yet entered the industry. Work.

He is very interested in this, to be precise, in the results. He wants to hear what the old man has to say to the woman, and also wants to see if the woman can stay unmoved in the end... /
