Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Setting off at six in the morning, the Dragon arrived at Etsu Castle, the governor of Iwami County, at three in the afternoon. Etsu Castle is located in the central part of Iwami County and has a population of about 20,000. The city is not big, but it is very prosperous, mainly due to the fact that it is the only seaport city in Iwami County. All the gold, silver and copper produced in Iwami County are shipped out from here.

The Tokugawa family's garrison was stationed in the Ishigami Mountains in the southern part of Iwami County, and the garrison headquarters was located in Ota Castle in the mountains. Ota was also the largest silver mining area.

Datian City is about 100 kilometers away from Jiangjin City. Normally, the soldiers of the Tokugawa family rarely appear in Jiangjin City. They only come to Jiangjin City when they are escorting gold, silver and copper out to sea.

The port of Jiangjin City is a civilian port. Except for the armed escort of gold, silver and copper by the Tokugawa navy every month, it usually only houses some cargo ships that come to do business. There are no coastal defense guns at the port.

After arriving at the port of Jiangjin City, the Dragon was moored in the port, and the 4th Regiment was stationed near the port. Wei Xiaobao, Shuang'er and Princess Lingzhao, with 300 princess guards, came to the governor's mansion of Jiangjin City under the leadership of Ishikawa Dalang.

The Taishou Mansion was the residence of Ishikawa Taro, and now it has been given to Princess Lingzhao. Ishikawa Taro took his wife and children back to the Ishikawa family's old house in Tianjin City.

To attack the mining area in the south, someone must be there to guard each captured point.

Therefore, they had to wait until Taro Ishikawa gathered 10,000 soldiers from the Ishikawa family before they could march into the mining area.

The last time Ishikawa Taro went to Ryukyu, he took away 5000 Iwami soldiers. Now, in order to recruit soldiers, he must draw them from all over the place. It will take seven or eight days from the draw to the assembly.

So, Wei Xiaobao had a rare chance of free time, so he took Shuang'er and Princess Lingzhao for a stroll in Jiangjin City the next day.

The streets are bustling with people, and the cries of hawkers are endless.

When Wei Xiaobao passed by a gambling house, the muscle memory in his body awakened this body's gambling addiction.

"Sister Shuang'er, Sister Lingzhao, do you want to win money?" Wei Xiaobao said.

"I'm very poor and have no money. How can I win?" Ling Zhao asked back.

"I'll give you the capital, you just need to focus on winning, and if you lose, the profit will be mine," said Wei Xiaobao.

"Brother Xiaobao, I don't know how to gamble and I can't play cards." Ling Zhao said.

"Don't worry, let's go in and take a look first. Just listen to me." Wei Xiaobao said.

The three of them walked into the gambling house. All the gambling houses in the world are one family. They have Pai Gow, dice, mahjong... everything.

Dice are Wei Xiaobao's favorite. He used a handful of dice filled with liquid lead to win all over the Qing court.

"Sister Shuang'er, Sister Lingzhao, let's go play dice." After saying that, he led the two of them to the dice table.

The dealer in the casino plays the game of dice rolling. He takes a dice cup and puts six dice in it. After shaking the dice vigorously, he places them in the middle, and the gamblers then place their bets.

You bet on the size by adding up the numbers of the six dice in the throwing tube. 6-20 points is small, 22-36 points is big, 21 points is a tie. You can also bet on points or on leopards. When the dealer shakes all six dice and they all point to leopards, as long as you didn't bet on leopards, the dealer wins all the big and small.

The odds for guessing the size are 1 to 1, the odds for betting on a tie are 1, the odds for guessing the point are 8 to 1, and the odds for guessing the leopard are 10 to . However, generally no one guesses the point, let alone the leopard.

Wei Xiaobao was wealthy, so he gave Shuang'er and Ling Zhao a silver note worth 1,000 taels in exchange for bargaining chips.

After the dealer rolled the dice, he shouted, "Place your bets, place your bets. If you buy big, you get big payouts. If you buy small, you get small payouts. If you buy a tie, you get six payouts. If you buy a dot, you get eight payouts. If you buy a leopard, you get ten payouts. Place your bets now. Quick, quick, quick, place your bets..."

"Husband, do you want to bet on big or small?" Shuang'er asked.

Ling Zhao was also looking at Wei Xiaobao.

"Buy 21 points and tie." Wei Xiaobao whispered in the ears of the two women.

"Okay, husband." Shuang'er pushed all the chips worth one thousand taels of silver in her hand to the position marked with 21 points on the gambling table.

Everyone exclaimed, where did this spendthrift woman come from? She doesn't understand the rules of gambling. Isn't this just giving money directly to the casino?

"Brother Xiaobao, are you really betting on a tie at 21?" Princess Lingzhao asked quietly.

Princess Ling Zhao is not as naive as Shuang'er. She believes whatever her husband says. Although Ling Zhao has never gambled with dice, she still knows such simple arithmetic. The chance of winning a tie in a 21-point game is very small.

"Bet!" Wei Xiaobao replied.

After hearing this, Ling Zhao looked at the chips in his hand, took out 100 taels and bet on the position of 21 points.

Ling Zhao really had no money, and he was too embarrassed to ask his brother Xiaobao for money. He would be poor again after spending the one thousand taels, so he had to live frugally.

The gamblers nearby were finally enlightened today as two beauties appeared, both of them spendthrift girls who knew nothing about business.

After a burst of laughter, the dealer was not surprised by this kind of rookie. This was another rich girl coming to give money. To prevent the money from running away, the dealer sped up the time and shouted:

"Buy and leave, buy and leave, stop betting now, I'll count to three and the stakes will be opened..."

"1, 2, 3, go!" everyone shouted together.

“2、4、5、1、5、4——21点和。”

The dealer at the side collected the chips for betting on the table, and used a spinner to push 6000 taels of chips to Shuang'er and 600 taels of chips to Princess Lingzhao.

All the gamblers nearby looked at the two beauties with envy, wondering how they could be so lucky.

There are always many 21 points in a day, and the dealer does not find it strange. He just thinks that these two rookies are lucky.

Continuing, the dealer shook the dice again and shouted again: "Bet, bet, buy big and you will get big payout, buy small and you will get small payout, buy a tie and you will get six, buy a dot and you will get eight, buy a leopard and you will get ten, buy and leave, quick, quick, quick, place your bets..."

Princess Lingzhao regretted not trusting Brother Xiaobao completely and not betting all last time. She looked at the six thousand taels of chips in front of Shuang'er and was extremely envious.

Although Lingzhao was a princess, she was really poor. As the royal expenses were strictly controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate, Princess Lingzhao never had more than one hundred taels of silver in her pocket.

This time Ling Zhao first asked Wei Xiaobao how to bet. In the face of silver, his vision was a little narrow. This time he wanted to learn from Shuang'er and bet the same amount as she did.

"Bet on 11 o'clock." Wei Xiaobao whispered in the ears of the two women.

After hearing this, Shuang'er didn't even think twice and pushed all the 6000 taels of chips in front of her to the 11 o'clock position with both hands.

Princess Lingzhao figured it out this time. If she lost, she would just pretend that she didn't have the fortune. Anyway, she heard that Brother Xiaobao had dug up the treasure of the pirate Liu Damazi. She didn't mind this little money. It was really nice to have a rich husband.

Princess Lingzhao also bet all the 1500 taels of chips in front of her on 11 points.

The gamblers around burst into laughter again. The two rookies had gotten lucky last time and bet on a tie, which was understandable since everyone had bet on a tie before. But this time they were betting on points, and all in at that. Only these wealthy spendthrift women could do that.
