I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The face of the shopkeeper of Qianjin Gambling Shop was a little ugly. Looking at the group of thugs lying in disorder in the outer courtyard, few of them could barely stand up.

"You two ladies, you didn't know that you visited my daughter's casino and made such a big fight, why?" The shopkeeper of the casino cupped his hands towards them, gritted his teeth, and asked softly.

Jiu'er glanced at him, did not answer, then turned her head, looked around the room, and found what she wanted in a corner.

A mahjong table, the dominoes on the table are neatly arranged, it seems that they have just started playing, but the players who play cards have been frightened by Jiu'er, and now they are squatting under the table with their heads in their arms.

Jiu'er picked up a piece of mahjong, opened it, and saw that it was Zhang Yaoji. She smiled lightly, and asked, "What is this?"

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop forced a smile: "This is mahjong, a novelty in my city of Chang'an." His mind is now racing with thoughts. It hasn't been long since mahjong was used in his gambling shop, and he hasn't set anyone up yet.
Could it be that he offended someone?
But there have been a lot of faces recently, but there is still no time to collect debts.

Jiu'er threw Yaoji over and smashed it on his head: "Of course I know it's mahjong, I'm asking you. Do you know who developed this thing?"

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop thumped in his heart, and his face turned pale: "It's Yin Zhengyang, a man from Changle County."

Jiu'er nodded indifferently, and while walking towards the shopkeeper of the gambling shop, said softly, "So you know it too."

"Then do you know who I am?"

The shopkeeper of the casino gritted his teeth, vaguely having an answer in his heart, but he dared not say it.

Jiu'er paused, feeling a little tangled in her heart.

How should I position myself as brother Zhengyang's younger sister?For some reason, Jiu'er felt that if she really said this sentence, she would lose something.

Then to be honest, according to my status, I should be the maidservant of the Yin family, but Jiu'er is a little unwilling.She is also a little greedy.

After thinking for a while, she took a deep breath and said, "My Dalang is the man from Changle County who took out the mahjong."

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop couldn't hold back, took a deep breath, and screamed inwardly.

When the girl in front of him asked if he knew who made mahjong, he had such a guess.

just
The shopkeeper of the casino is still feeling a little bit aggrieved, if you came here for this matter, just say it, show your identity, he won't dare to provoke you.

Whether you want money or something else, just ask.

Don't even say hello, just do it directly.
The county man's temper is also quite violent.

"My Dalang. When are you allowed to play mahjong?" Jiu'er narrowed her eyes, and subconsciously imitated Yin Xuan's posture, which seemed somewhat majestic.

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop lowered his head, with a humble attitude: "It's the villain who made up his own mind. He thought it was a good thing, so he took it and used it without authorization. My lady, how can I apologize to the county man."

Jiu'er pulled a chair and sat down: "From now on, this casino will obey my orders."

The shopkeeper of the casino was not sad, but happy.

Is there such a good thing?

What he is most worried about now is that his gambling shop does not have a backer - if there is a backer, he will not be like this now, and seeing these two little girls is afraid of being like this.

In the future, if I listen to the words of the county man, isn't it just finding a backstage for myself?

Here, there are still people who take the initiative to deliver to your door in the background?

Although a county man is not considered a big backer in Chang'an City, he feels that Yin Xuan is the most suitable backer candidate.

Not to mention anything else, but his relationship with bad people is much better for those low-level people than climbing up to a county magistrate or magistrate.

"The villain will definitely serve the county man wholeheartedly in the future." The shopkeeper of the gambling shop quickly responded.

Jiu'er's face sank, and with a wave of the knife in his hand, the back of the knife hit him on the shoulder: "I don't listen to my Dalang, but to me."

"This matter has nothing to do with my Dalang, understand?"

The shopkeeper of the gambling shop raised his right hand and slapped himself hard, his voice was extremely crisp: "Yes, yes, the villain is clumsy and said something wrong."

"From now on, the casino will only listen to the eldest lady. Even if I am asked to go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, I will not blink half an eye."

Jiu'er nodded, put the knife back, and followed Yin Xuan's instructions, and said the request.

"The first thing is, I don't care about the debt you lent in the past, but from now on, it's okay to lend money, and the interest rate will be lower." While talking, Jiu'er spat out a figure.

The shopkeeper of the casino frowned: "This"

Jiu'er just glanced at him: "Any comments?"

The shopkeeper of the casino shook his head again and again.

"Secondly, don't use this mahjong for now, Dalang doesn't like his things getting dirty." Jiu'er continued.

Pieces and pieces, said seven or eight.

The shopkeeper of the casino also put his heart into memorizing all the rules.

The most critical one is that in the future, gambling shops will use a kind of paper money, and the amount written on it is the amount of copper coins that can be exchanged.

If you use this kind of paper money from another gambling house, you can also exchange it in this gambling house.

Jiu'er didn't understand why Yin Xuan did this.

The shopkeeper of the casino tightened his heart, he was a little surprised, he could see some signs - he thought that Yin Xuan wanted to unify the casinos in Chang'an City.

This gentleman from the county actually wants to do gambling business in private.

For a country, land and economy are the two most critical lifelines.

Don't think about the land, Yin Xuan has no room to intervene in this thing - the imperial court, nobles, and aristocratic families have divided up all the land, and the fight has been bloody.

It's about the economy
The imperial court seems to be holding it in their hands, but it is very loose, and with the gradual promotion of industry, it will become too big for the imperial court to hold.

Yin Xuan set his sights on this piece of fat that hadn't been discovered yet.

but
Opening a bank with great fanfare is definitely not enough, it's too obvious, and with the IQ of those little old men like Li Shimin, one can see what Yin Xuan's idea is.

So Yin Xuan focused on the gambling house.

It can almost be said, which industry is the most developed in Chang'an City now?Brothels, gambling houses, ordinary businesses can't compare with them at all.

Among them, the gambling house has the most money.

Yin Xuan planned to maintain the face of gambling shops and gradually turn them into money houses.

After Jiu'er made sure that the shopkeepers of the casino had all been written down, she got up and left with Li Yingzi, preparing to tidy up the next casino.

In the casino.

The few remaining guests climbed up from the ground with lingering fear, congratulated the shopkeeper one by one, and then continued to gamble.

Unless the sky falls, no one can stop them from going further and further down the road of self-deprecation.
