The little monk who crossed the Red Mansion

After struggling for a long time, Ah Zhe realized that he still doesn't know how the fourth brother made Khan Ama change his mind, if it wasn't difficult...

Thinking about it, I asked, "Fourth Brother, why did Khan Amma change his mind?"

The fourth elder brother looked at Ah Zhe's little face that couldn't hide his thoughts in front of him, and asked, "Do you still remember that a month ago, the fourth elder brother always stayed up all night looking for information?"

Of course Ah Zhe remembered, and he was very guilty, obviously he also wanted to help the fourth brother, but he always fell asleep bored, really blinded his ability to never forget.

Why, could it be related to the fourth brother being able to go on the southern tour with him?

Blinking and looking at Fourth Master for advice~~

The fourth elder brother looked at the food that was getting cold. He really didn't have any appetite, so he asked someone to remove it, took Ah Zhe to his side, and asked, "Do you know why Ama Khan is on his southern tour?"

"I know, there have been frequent floods in the past few years, and every year I have to send ministers to allocate money for repairs, but there is no effect, so Khan Ama wants to go and see for himself."

"Exactly, Khan Ama originally wanted me to assist the prince in the capital to supervise the country, but a few days ago I consulted the classics of various generations and made a water map of the southern part of the Qing Dynasty." Speaking of these, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but feel a little proud , that was all drawn by him himself, and it can be said that it is the most accurate and complete water map in the Qing Dynasty.

If this is the case, and Khan Ama can't be moved to take him on a southern tour, then he really has no choice!

However, it seems that this Khan Ama is still not confused, so on the second day after seeing the water map, Khan Ama summoned him and asked him about the water map in detail.

And I am quite satisfied with the answer of the fourth elder brother, and specifically asked him to drive, but there is still a requirement, that is, we must further improve this water map on the road, and we cannot slack off.

Ah Zhe heard that the fourth elder brother had been busy for a month without sleep, and that he wanted to accompany him on the southern tour?My heart is a little soft.After thinking about it again, in a flash of inspiration, he suddenly realized that he was really stupid in his current state. If he agreed, he would agree, what's the big deal.

I don't even know how many IOUs I have made with my fourth brother in the past two years. The so-called debts are too much to worry about. Who is he afraid of if he is a younger brother!

So, with a proud wave of his little hand, elder brother Ben agreed, so he is not as stingy as fourth brother!

Moreover, he is sure to win, he must laugh at the fourth brother when he loses the bet because of a woman.

By the way, why does this sentence feel a little strange~~~

"I heard that Ah Zhe has been very close to the old ten for a while?" Seeing that he had achieved his goal, the fourth elder brother quickly changed the subject. He could tell Ah Zhe that he had remembered all the promises that Ah Zhe owed him. Is it engraved in the bottom of my heart?These will have to be paid back sooner or later, if you dare to think he is stingy in private, then you have to let him know what it is to be really stingy!

Ah Zhe hadn't figured out what was so strange about that sentence, but he heard Si Age's question.

Thinking about this period of time, Brother Ten has been pestering him all the time, especially on the way back from the study room to Sibei Le Mansion, he will often be caught and pestered for a long time, if he didn’t run fast today, and deliberately changed It is estimated that the route will not come back so early.

However, I still want to thank the fourth brother for his cold face, it really is all evil, and even the tenth brother dare not come here to pester him.

"Yeah, Brother Ten heard that the reason why Brother Nine can make a lot of money is because of the idea I gave, so he pestered me, and he must give him one that can make money, but it doesn't take so much money. Only brains can do it." This incident annoyed him a lot, so he took this opportunity to complain to his fourth brother, it would be even better if his fourth brother could help him solve it o(n_n)o~.

"Then what did Ah Zhe have in mind?"

Ah Zhe pondered for a while, and said with a somewhat tangled face: "If there is one, I don't know if it will work."

The fourth elder brother looked at him with raised eyebrows, which meant, if it's okay, let's talk about it after listening to it.

Ah Zhe organized his speech, and said, "My brother thinks, whether it is possible to build a large horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing."

"Racecourse?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is a racecourse. It may occupy a larger area. You can raise some horses in it. In normal times, people can spend a little money to learn how to ride horses or play in it. Some horse races can also be organized every ten days. During the game, ordinary people can be allowed to buy tickets to watch."

"Those ticket money may not be enough to raise some thoroughbred horses." The fourth elder brother said pertinently.

Ah Zhe shook his head: "I don't need to raise many good horses. Brother Ten already has enough. After the rest of the horse farms start to operate, they can persuade the dignitaries of the palaces to bring the horses raised by their own houses to participate in the competition." , so that they can make their own reputation, and if the results are good, they can also give up some dividends for the game tickets. No one would refuse it.

Of course, if there are several families who want to compete in public to save face, the racecourse can also arrange the races, but there will be a fee. If the fee is high enough, the audience can even be exempted from entering the arena. tickets. "

Ah Zhe is very confident about this, but in his heart, the most profitable and attractive thing should be betting on horses, but he hasn't decided whether to say it, because although that thing is huge profits, but The impact on the whole society is really good and bad, it is hard to say clearly.

When the fourth elder brother heard Ah Zhe's thoughts, the first thing he thought of was the corruption of the current Eight Banners. It has only been a few years since he entered the customs, but because of his blind laziness, the children of the Eight Banners are just brothels and Chuguans, fighting dogs and crickets every day. Some, it is said, could not even ride a horse.

If this continues, sooner or later it will become a hidden danger for the Qing Dynasty.

The Manchus are a horse race, and they should be more interested in horse riding than other things. There was no entertainment venue in this area before. Azhe has done a great job of making the Eight Banners' disciples change their sluggish attitude, and even the person in charge will definitely benefit enough.

In particular, it is impossible for Yihan Ama's wisdom and wisdom to disagree with such a good thing.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ah Zhe with a smile on his face, his younger brother is really a treasure.

A random method full of money smells, but people can always find out the benefits to the country from it.

The ninth one is like this, but the tenth one is even more attractive.

Even the two things in my own shop made Chinese people who were not good at these things gain face in front of those foreign missionaries.

He was so proud of Ah Zhe!

But what is the reason for Ah Zhe's hesitant expression?

"Why, is there anything else you want to say to the fourth brother?"

Ah Zhe looked up at the fourth elder brother, thinking that this kind of problem should be left to the fourth brother to decide, he is just a little monk, why bother so much.

Then he replied: "My brother just thought of it, another thing that can cause controversy." Looking up at the fourth elder brother, he said seriously, "Gambling!"

The fourth elder brother frowned subconsciously when he heard these two words. Yes, as long as it is a game, it is inevitable that someone will bet on the game. Can't afford to stir up any storms.

But if this racecourse is done well, it will allow first- and second-class people in the capital to participate, and ordinary people can also watch it at will.

Then, if someone uses this to sit on the bank and gamble, the interests involved will be great, and it is inevitable that some private affairs will happen.

However, if this racecourse can really change the flag people's decadence, the price of such a little negative impact is still affordable.

Moreover, the big deal is to control the gambling dealers in the hands of the court, so that even if there is trouble, it will always be small.

Having made up his mind, he stopped thinking about these things, and just told Ah Zhe that tomorrow he would invite a few younger brothers to come to the house to have a talk, so that Ah Zhe would not have to worry about the old ten pestering him again.

Ah Zhe didn't understand after hearing it: "Why do you want to invite all the brothers?"

"Just invite the fifth to fourteenth brother, the crown prince, eldest brother and third brother will not be invited for the time being."

"why?"

"If you don't invite all the younger brothers, one is that the eleventh person can't handle such a big deal, and the other is that if the ninth and tenth have benefited from you, do you think the others Won't come to you? Even if I don't come to you, I will definitely alienate you in my heart, why bother to offend people for nothing. "

Ah Zhe thought for a while, but it was the same reason: "Then what about the crown prince, eldest brother and third brother?"

"A few younger brothers are enough to do this matter. If you add a few older brothers, those few will all pay attention. When the time comes, the younger brothers will be weak and have no control over it.

Moreover, the gambling matter should be agreed with the younger brothers, and it can be mentioned in the booklet for Khan Ama, but who will host it has to be determined by Khan Ama Jinkou.

After all, it was one of the three, but if Khan Ama took good care of the feathers and let the people below come forward, it would make sense not to hand it over to any elder brother.

From this point of view, it is still necessary to trouble Ah Zhe to prepare a small gift, at least to avoid the hostility of the three brothers towards you. "The fourth elder brother said in a good mood.

Ah Zhe was very depressed, it was really one thing after another, but suddenly thought: "Isn't fourth brother going to participate?"

"No, after the racecourse is completed, your share will not be lost no matter what, and the fourth brother will not participate." The fourth elder brother shook his head. He and Ah Zhe are too close, and he is the elder brother. It's okay to let them earn some gold and silver and gain some reputation, but if they participate too deeply, they will inevitably show a clique impression in Khan Ama.

Ah Zhe couldn't figure out why the fourth brother couldn't take it when he took a share, but he knew that the fourth brother was not short of money, so he didn't force it. He had to come up with three more ideas, and he felt tired after thinking about it.

I don't want to, I have no more dinner, just go back to practice.

Ah Zhe and the fourth elder brother went back to the bedroom together. Two big futons had already been placed on the floor. The two of them sat cross-legged holding Buddhist beads like monks doing morning and evening lessons. Those who didn't know would think they were chanting sutras.
