Chapter 125 21 points
Although he is a standard foreigner, the priest named Li Zhong still speaks humorously, and the anecdote about the astromancer is even more clear and clear, which makes people listen with gusto.
It's a pity that Cheng Jinzhou can't talk about the steam engine with the third prince at his side.I have to keep it in my heart first.
The Savely steam engine is a very low-level steam engine. Even if it is a higher-level steam engine, the Watt steam engine that everyone is familiar with is not an attractive product. Except for its large size, there are few technical points that need to be considered. Most of them can draw Students with good engineering drawings can imitate them - the only problem is that Cheng Jinzhou can't draw engineering drawings well.
He has a PhD in theoretical physics, not engineering.
Priest Li Zhong probably didn't intend to push his own steam engine. After talking for a while, when the hospitality was exhausted, he turned back and sang his "Hallelujah". It's more exciting than the hymns of the boys in the choir.If there is anything that makes people less intelligent than casinos, it is probably religion.
The third prince led Cheng Jinzhou back with a smile, and said: "Thinking that Mr. Cheng will soon become a three-star warlock, even I feel happy. The last three-star warlock who appeared in the Great Xia Dynasty was all 10. It happened years ago. The nobility is even older."
Cheng Jinzhou said politely: "It's still early for me to reach 1000 contribution points."
"If it can lead to heated discussions in the headquarters of the Star Warlocks, just think about how many contribution points will be increased in the four surrounding countries including me. In addition to Jixi, Mr. Cheng's future is limitless." The third prince is serious. Really.
Contribution points are real things, and the cheapest way to use them is to exchange things for money in the Astromancer Association. It can be said that the Astromancer system is based on it.Cheng Jinzhou returned to action, knowing that he was out of control at this time, so he said calmly: "From here to the far west, the information is not smooth, sometimes it takes seven or eight years to arrive, and it will take many years before it comes back." It's..."
"Important theories will be spread using the star array." The third prince ended the topic at this point, holding a wooden weight with one hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, are you going to move to the capital?"
The Cheng family came out because they couldn't stay any longer.Cheng Jinzhou was not prepared to go back before there was no Star Formation, so he shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "Let's see how this year's provincial examination goes."
"Xiao Wang has a teacher who knows a lot about the provincial examination..."
"Your Majesty is ready." Cheng Jinzhou hastily interrupted the third prince, he had already obtained enough questions from Jiang Huang, and he didn't want to spend a lot of money to buy two identical things.
The township and provincial examinations are at the top, so it can be said that the leaks are like a sieve.The third prince was not surprised, nor would he pursue whether Cheng Jinzhou was planning to rely on his ability or connections, he just said, "Now there is a vacant position in the household department, what does Mr. Cheng think?"
Sure enough, it was wooing again.Cheng Jinzhou's mind quickly turned.
The 10th-level official department and household department are only two grades higher than Cheng Yunan's Shaonan magistrate, but the meaning is quite different.At least from local to central, this is what countless aspiring officials desire most.
With the ability of Yanping County King, he can directly affect the position of control, and that's about it.
If the seat was reserved for himself, Cheng Jinzhou might have thought about it, but now, he is infinitely suspicious of the purpose of the third prince.
After waiting for a while, the third prince smiled wryly by himself, took Cheng Jinzhou's hand and stood in the corner, sighed: "Mr. Cheng has a great future, and it is a good thing to value promises, but Xiao Wang is too utilitarian. How about this, I will Suggested to Mr. Gan of the household department."
Next, Yanping County King really stopped talking about business.
Cheng Jinzhou was so happy, he quickly moved to other gaming tables, each table was full of people, and it was not suitable for Mr. Prince to chat and so on.
Just like ancient China, Daxia is not a country that strictly prohibits gambling.That is to say, when the country needs it, a certain monarch or a certain prime minister will issue an order, asking: Everyone stop gambling, or they will be arrested and killed.
Then after a while, everyone will forget again, so the order will not be abolished.
Now is the time when law enforcers forget about law enforcement.The gamblers dressed in silk and satin didn't shy away from their identities at all. Many came to the venue wearing official boots, and some even didn't even have time to remove the badges on their clothes and the armbands on their cuffs.
Cheng Jinzhou walked around in a circle, the yellow belt was exposed from the waist of the highest-ranking person, let alone 2 taels of silver chips were piled in front of the person with the most wealth-equivalent to buying 1000 slaves and keeping 50 mistresses.
And looking at the posture of the white-faced old man, the 2 taels of silver seemed to be just pocket money.I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary maritime merchants to have such a large amount of money.
"Cheng Jinzhou, come here." Lu Xu happily waved to him on the dice table.
Cheng Jinzhou walked over indifferently, threw a ten-tael wooden sign on the pay table, and then asked: "Did you win?"
"I won the last round." Lu Xu smiled.The star array cannot be used in the casino, instead, like a gambler outside, he folded his sleeves high, exposing his two strong arms.
Cheng Jinzhou bowed his head and counted his chips, which seemed to be only a few hundred taels of silver, and asked involuntarily, "How many taels of silver did you take at the beginning?"
"1000 taels." Lu Xu stretched out his left hand to rub the chips on the table, messed them up and said, "You kid doesn't understand that gambling is all about luck, and dice are the best. Don't learn from that guy."
Cheng Jinzhou looked up and saw Cao Feng thinking hard in front of him.
"What is he playing for?" Xiao Cheng asked curiously.
"It's a thing from the far west. I look down on people who play with technology the most." Lu Xu threw out a 50 tael wooden sign angrily.According to the consumption level here, he really doesn't play much.Just looking at his appearance, he has no awareness of a bodyguard at all, like a gambler who came here on a special trip, and people have to admire the attraction of gambling.
The pastor who heard their conversation interjected unrulyly again: "The most mathematical content in poker is called vingt-et-un, and you can call it 21."
He seemed to see that Cheng Jinzhou was also an astrologer.In fact, this hall with only 8 tables can accommodate up to 200 people, and each priest has enough time to have a good talk about life and ideals with gamblers.
Perhaps Jehovah will rescue the monk who has lost all his gambling money.
Cheng Jinzhou took a long breath and said, "21 o'clock?"
The pastor froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can also call it that."
Xiao Cheng voted, patted Lu Xu on the shoulder, and walked over with great interest.There is no need for the pastor to explain. He also knows that 21 is the game that is said to be most beneficial to mathematicians in the casino.
Cao Feng was very involved in playing.
After Cheng Jinzhou watched it for a while, he understood the rules.Similar to the blackjack he knows, the banker deals two cards to everyone, everyone else is a face card, and he keeps a dark card. J, Q, and K are all 21 points, and A can do 10 point or 1 points, others are calculated according to the number on the card, and the one closest to 10 points wins. Generally speaking, this is a game of gambling between the player and the banker.
As for the game itself, Cheng Jinzhou only paid attention to it for a moment, and then focused on the other players on the gaming table.
Even if the people sitting here are not astromancers, they are high-class people related to astromancers.Otherwise, for ordinary people who have never been exposed to foreign languages, it is really not easy to distinguish JK clearly.
In the Daxia government, apart from the star warlocks and the Holy Church, those who can do translation work are the Lifan Academy.In this day and age, it is not as important as the diplomatic service.
Sitting next to Cao Feng was a scholar with slender fingers, about thirty, with a slightly thin body, but the family wealth in front of him was quite rich, at least 500 taels of silver, and he looked like a child of a well-off family.
Next to him is a man in a green shirt. If he is outside, at first glance, this person's image is better than that of the shopkeeper in the shop, but look at the chips in front of him, and you can distinguish it carefully. It can be found that this green shirt is an azurite shirt that is hundreds of times more expensive than ordinary green shirts. Not to mention the quality of the material, the dyeing material alone costs dozens of taels of silver, which is also a low-key show off.
Cheng Jinzhou thought for a while, and simply sat at the seat next to Cao Feng. There were very few people around this table. Ordinary wealthy businessmen and officials were most worried that others would say that they did not understand mathematics, so naturally they avoided it.
After sitting down, except for the scholar who glanced at him, even Cao Feng didn't bother to raise his head and muttered something that made people wonder what he was talking about.
Cheng Jinzhou guessed that this person was probably calculating the probability.It's just the usual blackjack. The so-called probability calculation is actually calculating the success rate of winning by yourself and the dealer, and someone must cooperate. Cao Feng was not prepared, but he didn't know what he was doing alone.
While he was wondering, the bored pastor smiled at him and said, "Sir, do you know the rule of 21?"
"Know something." Cheng Jinzhou had already looked around.
Perhaps the pastor liked to talk too much, so he pretended not to hear him, and said it again tirelessly, and then said: "According to the regulations, if you don't want any more cards, I have to reveal my hidden cards. No card is allowed if the number is greater than or equal to 17 points, and no card is required if the number is lower than or equal to 16 points. , is your best chance to win money, and this chance can be calculated.”
"Oh?"
"Do you want to know how it is calculated?" the pastor said in a teacher-like manner.
"I don't want to." Cheng Jinzhou simply refused.Don't look at the people who gamble here as if they have no scruples, but in fact, if he has a relationship with the Holy Church, he might get into some trouble that he doesn't know about. Even if there is no trouble, he doesn't need the Holy Church Come teach yourself.Although I haven't calculated the winning and losing ratio of the banker and player in blackjack, ordinary people who care a little bit about this will know that the winning rate of the player is 21% higher than that of the banker when handled properly. It is the only game in which the dealer loses money. The problem is that most people do not have the possibility to handle it properly.
Dr. Cheng Da's refusal made the man in Tsing Yi a little surprised, he lifted his head buried in the chips, and said with great interest: "I heard that a new star warlock came to the capital, who is very good at mathematics and science. Could it be that you are talking about your excellence?"
