Chapter 1852 Tang Dynasty Charity Contest
Everyone was full of admiration for Li Shen. It must be that Prince Ji knew how to play, as he could make himself invincible with just one move.
If they were faced with a situation where the strong and the weak were too great, the only solution they could think of would be to cancel the bet.
But if this is really done, it will definitely damage the reputation of the sect.
But King Ji's method was very clever. He used the excuse of increasing the odds to change the rules and add variables.
And it doesn't prevent people from betting on winning or losing, it's just that the odds are a little lower.
Only 10% of the compensation is given, so it doesn’t matter how many people gamble, and you can even get half of it.
Indeed, if we talk about the most evil-hearted person, it has to be Prince Ji.
Li Shen was enjoying everyone's praise, completely unaware that these people were already darkening his character in their hearts.
Laughing heartily with pride:
"Hahaha, no, no, you're welcome."
"Your Highness, what about the third way to play?" Cheng Chubi asked again.
"The third way to play is very simple, which is to bet on the number of goals. This is a good way to do it.
For example, you can bet on how many goals will be scored in a game, or you can bet on the specific score, or even on which player will score how many goals.
There are many tricks and unpredictable changes in this, which will be our means to increase the fun in the future."
Li Shen briefly explained the rules of betting on scores, and this will be discussed later.
“I see, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is really an expert at this and has come up with so many ways to play.
It looks like we are going to get rich in the future.
They all said that opening a gambling house is profitable, and this time it's our turn." Fang Yiai was very excited.
"What gambling house? The prince said that we are doing a prize-giving competition, not gambling." Cheng Chuliang corrected immediately.
"Yes, guessing game. Guessing game with prizes." Fang Yiai nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, ours is a guessing contest with prizes, and it's mainly based on doing good deeds.
Don't forget that I have built many Beitianyuan and Jibingfang, and we have to spend a little money every year to maintain the operation of these Beitianyuan and Jibingfang.
We want the world to know that we are righteous and virtuous people who take it as our responsibility to save the people of the world."
"Yes, all the people in the world are at my service."
"Bullshit, what's the use for yourself? It's your responsibility to save the people of the world. Read more books."
"Your Highness is right. We are righteous and virtuous dandies."
Li Shen's words excited these playboys again. Li Shen saw that he had said almost everything and there was nothing else to do, so he gave the order.
"From now on, we will officially start our money-making plan. We will name our prize-winning guessing shop Datang Charity Guessing.
Part of the money raised from external publicity will be donated to Jibingfang and Beitianyuan, and certain help will be provided to disaster-stricken areas when disasters occur.
We call this taking from the people and giving back to the people, do you understand?"
"The Great Tang Charity Contest? What a good name. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will follow His Royal Highness Prince Ji's orders in everything."
"Yes, I will follow your orders, Prince Ji."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
Li Shen nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, then we'll proceed according to our plan. Cheng Chubi will be in charge of this matter, and the others will assist and carry out external publicity.
Recruit coaches, train them, find a temporary field with grass, develop a game plan, etc.
I'll give you half a month to prepare.
I am responsible for communicating with the imperial court. Our plan will make a lot of money in the future, so we must find a backer.
And this backer cannot be just me, we have to cooperate with the court, so that we can keep this golden rice bowl. "
Gambling is definitely a profitable business. Las Vegas and Lotus in later generations are both very profitable.
Lotus pays a large sum of money every year in order to get protection from above.
The playboys all took orders and left with great enthusiasm under the encouragement of Li Shen.
Looking at the excitement of this group of people, Li Shen felt a little guilty. He was actually a good person, but now he made himself look like a pyramid scheme leader.
This is not what he wants. He should be a polite Confucian scholar, holy and simple.
It was those damn four million strings of cash that made me the disgusting person I am now.
Money really is the root of all evil.
"Your Highness, what should we do with the underground gambling houses in Chang'an City?" After seeing that all the playboys had left, Shi Tou beside him asked.
He had followed Li Shen for more than ten years and had learned a lot. He felt that what Li Shen casually mentioned would definitely not be that simple.
Li Shen sat down and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before speaking:
“Of course this is useful, it would be a shame to eradicate it now, and it won’t do us any good.
Wait a little longer, we can eat this piece of meat ourselves."
"Your Highness is wise." Shitou praised softly.
"What a wise fool! I was forced to do this. I am a very virtuous person. I am a kind person.
Let your people find out who is behind these dozens of gambling houses and summarize them clearly.
This bunch of scum only did a rough investigation, and I doubt it is accurate. Yet, this group of people still think about getting rich every day.
If you can't even do this, you're really good at making trouble instead of helping others, and you can't even be a good playboy."
Li Shen complained a few words. These playboys were not serious about their work. Li Shen even suspected that some of them had missed some reports.
If you want to make money but don't want to put in the effort, there is no such good thing in the world.
“Yes, my lord, I will ask the servants to check it out later.
So, are you going to discuss this matter with His Majesty or with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
After Shitou responded, he remembered something else.
Li Shen was also stunned by this question. He hadn't thought it through yet, so he stroked his chin and began to think.
After a long while, Li Shencai said:
"I think I should talk to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty has the final say. And it's easier to talk to His Majesty because His Majesty is greedy enough.
As for my eldest brother... he was also greedy and wanted to achieve something before taking the throne, but his words were not his.
Finally, this matter has to be discussed with the three provinces and six ministries. We have many enemies here, especially that old thief Changsun.
He always ruins my good deeds. This time when cooperating with Silla, I should really contact Chang Sun Huan and trick him again."
Li Shen became a little angry when Changsun Wuji was mentioned. After all, they were all relatives, so it would be great if they could help each other.
But this old man was determined to make things difficult for me. If it weren't for the Queen's face, I would have done it long ago.
"Your Highness, calm down. Don't bother with Duke Zhao anymore. Besides, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send someone to tell you a few days ago?
Are you not allowed to deal with Chang Sun Huan? Your Majesty, we have to give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince face. "
Seeing that Li Shen was getting angry again, Shi Tou quickly spoke to calm him down.
(I know what you are thinking and that you are not satisfied with this name, but I can’t help it. There are many things I need to pay attention to.
Infringement, being sued, being reported. I am so scared that I don’t even dare to write the word “sleep” now. I am afraid of being reported.)
