Chapter 300 Big Gamble (1)

"The eldest son is full of everything, so there is no need to accompany me to enjoy the scenery." When he arrived at a good pavilion building, Li Yu said to Wu Yingyuan who had been following him. Let the helmsman of the Wu family be with him, Li Yu didn't think that he had such a great face, so it would be better to know it yourself.

"In this way, the general can give orders to Wu Fang if he has something to do." Seeing Li Yu say this, Wu Yingyuan did not insist. He really couldn't get rid of his body today. The horse racing competition reopened, and he had to deal with many things. However, he still kept his most capable aide Wu Fang. This young general was the target of their Wu clan's strong investment and could not be neglected.

"good."

Li Yuzi would not refuse Wu Yingyuan's friendship.

As soon as they entered the second floor of the pavilion, Zhao Yue and his friends directed their maids to put up the wine and food they brought in the mansion. Although the wine and food prepared by Wushi were definitely good, the wine and food they brought themselves were more suitable.

"Husband, how did you buy that bet?" Lian Xin asked Li Yu with great enthusiasm while sucking in her mouth. She always kept extremely excited about novel things.

"I don't know much, but someone should know. Lan'er, go and invite Mr. Wu to come up." Li Yu had never participated in this horse racing competition. In his memory, he was the Battle of Handan when he returned to Handan, and he had no other impression. Although he had known a lot before, it was more appropriate for relevant people to say that he was a half-baked person. It would be hard to understand when he came to this event.

"promise."

Soon, Wu Fang, who was guarding the first floor of the pavilion, walked up quickly: "I wonder what the general has to give?"

"Mr. Wu, I heard that you can bet on good horses when you are in the horse racing competition. I wonder what happened?" Li Yu was also a little interested in this betting. Although he doesn't like gambling, it's okay to have fun occasionally. There is only one horse racing competition in a year.

"Return to the general, if you want to bet, there will be a bettor in each pavilion building. Just explain it to him. The servant will call him up." Hearing Li Yu ask about this, Wu Fang replied with a smile, turned around and called the bettor up.

It’s very simple. There are 30 good horses in a horse racing competition to determine the top three. If the betting good horses win third place, they can get three times the profit, five times the second place, ten times the first place, and no other prizes.

As a big betting player, there are betting people stationed in hundreds of pavilions on the high walls to facilitate the nobles to bet. Moreover, as a big betting player, the nobles will get a simple information before each horse racing. It briefly introduces the situation of thirty good horses. As for whether you can see which horse can win the championship, it depends on your eyesight and luck. There is no such secret operation these days, and the horse drivers are all direct confidants of the Wu clan and will not make any falsifications. The competition is relatively fair. The most profitable one is naturally the investors who host the betting, namely the Wu clan and the Zhao state. After all, such a big event and such a strong way to make money, the Wu clan cannot take it all by itself. As a new powerful Li Yu was also secretly divided into half of the share, which is also the reason why he asked several young wives to bet at will.

In Li Yu's words, this horse racing competition is the prototype of horse racing in later generations, but the betting items are relatively simple, which makes Li Yu from later generations feel terrible. However, this is also related to the current situation. After all, the world is conquered and the rulers and ministers of all countries will not encourage gambling. The horse racing competition is just like this in a year.

"I'll buy No. 1 horse and ten gold."

The bettinger had just finished introducing the article, and Lian Xin excitedly took out a few golden beans and handed them over.

The daily use of gold is different from the rewards given by the king. In real gold transactions, ten gold is only one tael, equivalent to eight taels, which is almost equivalent to three hundred grams of later generations. Only copper and iron are used as kilograms, and then converted to how much gold is called. A kilogram of gold is roughly equivalent to ten kilograms of copper, and a thousand kilograms of iron, which is equivalent to ten thousand yuan. With today's purchasing power, it is enough to convert the money in later generations to 100,000 yuan, which is enough to be worth two years of salary for a standing army soldier.

"Sister Yue, Sister Ying, you can buy one too." After receiving the bettor's hand over a bamboo slip as a mark, Lian Xin excitedly encouraged the two sisters.

"I'll buy No. 2 Horse Hardware." After being encouraged by Lian Xin, Zhao Yue also bet a little while when she saw Li Yu's encouraging eyes again.

"I'll buy No. 3 Horse Hardware." Seeing that the other two had bets, Han Ying naturally would not leave. She was also a little interested in this novel thing.

"Huan'er, Lan'er, please divide the property in the box evenly and everyone can bet on some."

Looking at the maids looking eagerly, Li Yu smiled and asked Huan'er and the others to open a wooden box, which was a box of golden beans that he was going to play with.

"promise."

The maids who followed the pavilion were all the personal maids of several ladies. Although they had not been favored by Li Yu, it was all about time, and Huan'er and the other had a good relationship with them.

The golden beans were distributed to the maids in the pavilion, Huan'er and Lan'er happily prepared to place bets, but they would not do as casually as the ladies, but looked at the bamboo slips that introduced the horses first.

However, Huan'er and the others soon discovered that the things introduced on the bamboo slips were extremely simple. They didn't know how good or bad the horses were, and they could not see any difference. In the end, they bet blindly, but they were bets half gold and one gold. Several of the maids were planning to leave these gold beans and send them home, which was much higher than their usual monthly salary.

"Husband, why don't you bet?" After everyone finished betting, Lian Xin looked at the free and comfortable Li Yu and asked curiously.

"Okay, I'll buy a No. 6 horse with twenty gold." After randomly reading the bamboo slips that introduced the horse, Li Yu, who had been dealing with the horse for more than ten years, could naturally see some differences, but many of them were comparable good horses, with similar winning rates. After all, the organizer also wants to make money, and it is impossible to put particularly outstanding good horses in it. You must know that every nobleman follows people who understand horses, and there are also many explanatory commentators among the people.

Seeing Li Yu and others betting, Ukraine did not prompt anything. As a member of the organizer, they didn't know which horse could win the championship, which also eliminated the possibility of speculation among the nobles. Anyway, thirty good horses would definitely depend on luck to escape the betting of the top three. Moreover, Ukraine also knew that Li Yu was one of the organizers and would not care about this little money at all. They were just having fun.

"Husband, you should buy the No. 1 horse with me." Seeing that Li Yu had bought the No. 6 horse, Lian Xin encouraged her, trying to find her accomplices.

"Hehe, this thing is fine." Looking at the cute little wife, Li Yu smiled and pinched her pretty face.

"I think No. 1 horse will definitely win first." Lian Xin held strong hope for her choice. Naturally, she would not care about the little gold, but what she liked was the feeling of winning.

"Xin'er, I think the second horse may be the first." I was amused by Lian Xin's cute appearance, and Zhao Yue also laughed and joked.

"The number three horse should be the first." Han Ying was not willing to be outdone and interrupted.

As the mistresses discussed, several maids were also whispering about which horse could take the head. After a period of contact, they all knew the tempers of Li Yu and several wives, so they became much more casual.
