Chapter 668 The Rebellion at the North Gate (3)
He An agreed, "The aristocrats in the capital have been extravagant for a long time, but we can't see it. If we come out at night, the Zuixian Tower in the capital, and the most famous brothels, I don't know how to suck it up." How many people's blood, oh, yes, there are also gambling houses. As for King Zhao, he is born with such a nature. It was the same in the land of wealth and wealth in the past. Now, the property that was run by our highness is almost gone. The rest is the ancestral property, and that mountain forest is the ancestral property, it's not that he doesn't want to sell it, it's that he doesn't dare!"

If he sells his ancestral property, he will be punished by the gods, not to mention that he himself can't pass this test, the spittle of the world will swallow him up.

"Gambling shop?" Among all He An's words, Mu Xiang only heard these two words, "Are there still gambling houses in the capital? Don't investigate and punish them severely?"

He An showed a contemptuous smile, "I don't care, but can I manage it? The big ones are closed, and the small ones are closed, and the small ones are closed, but it's still dark. No, cockfighting has become popular in the capital recently, and arm wrestling , staring, even guessing riddles are used to gamble, such bets, the government is not easy to control, you must let people stare!"

Mu Xiang shook her head in admiration, she could even wrestle her wrists and stare at her eyes for betting, how much they like to gamble!
In her previous life, she had learned the art of gambling. Although she couldn't compare with the master of planting like the King of Thousand Kings, she was still able to deal with people other than the God of Gamblers.

Moreover, most of the gambling skills are not cheats. They rely on skill on the one hand and luck on the other.

Generally speaking, novices win nine out of ten bets. There are reasons for luck and casino marketing.

If you want to talk about advanced gambling skills, what you play is stimulation and concentration. After all, if you shake the dice, what kind of three sixes, three nines, or one pillar is the one in a million? Well, people who really have this skill, I'm afraid they won't really get mixed up in the gambling houses in the downtown area.

Magpie looked worried and said: "Madam can wake up the people in our house, but we can't be a good gambler. Some slaves in the big mansion are unwilling to lose money, and plan to steal things from the master's house and sell them. Things are not rare."

He An also meant the same thing, "She's right, she can't produce such a person. When I go back today, I have to tell them that the people in our house can't, I'm afraid of the people we recruited For example, the people in the carpentry workshop, they have moved the workshop outside now, and they rely on Changsheng to watch alone. In our house, don't we have a hard time talking about it?"

But he went on to say: "However, I heard that King Zhao has become obsessed with cockfighting recently. He spent a lot of money to get a little cock from nowhere. He raised it so brutally that he killed several cocks one after another. Let King Zhao win dozens of taels of silver in a row in this cockfight."

Mu Xiang's eyes rolled quickly, "Oh? Then do you know where he always fights cocks?"

He An thought for a while, stretched out his finger, and turned around in a circle, "It seems...it seems that at the north gate, there are many people in the area of ​​the north gate, and thieves and thieves are often mixed in, and it is very chaotic. .”

"Since it's messy, why don't you take care of it?"

He An looked like a chicken thief, "You don't know that, the place at the north gate is the place where the queen's family is entrenched, and the patrol soldiers in the capital and the Imperial Forest Army have to go around. Besides, the four of us in the capital Among the city gates, the north gate is the farthest, and I can't control it even if I want to!"

It was the first time for Mu Xiang to hear about the North Gate, and she suddenly felt novelty. She has seen almost everything she should see and what she shouldn't see in the past few days in the capital, even the beggar's den. The door, I only heard them mention it before, and never asked in detail.

"Wait a minute, first go to the north gate to look for King Zhao. If there is no one, let's go to his mansion again. The villagers can't delay in repairing the house. Since King Zhao's forest is closest to Zhuangzi, he has to sell it if he sells it, or he doesn't sell it." It has to be sold. In addition, remember, when you go back, send someone to tell the people in Wuzhuang that the house can be settled for them by the mansion, but they must take out a loan. They'll pay it off within five years, Magpie, isn't that too much to ask?"

She thinks it should not be too much, and no interest is charged, which is already a great kindness to the villagers.

In the past, some people in Yuhe Village also went to the landlord's house in the city, or some member's house to borrow money, and then signed an IOU.

When villagers make this choice, they are often forced to borrow money when they are desperate and desperate.

However, if such money is borrowed, they have no possibility of repaying it at all, because you are cheap and rich enough to repay the principal, and it is impossible to repay the interest.

In the end, either sell the child, or sell the house, or sell the land, or sell yourself.

As for the five-year deadline, this is to motivate the villagers, because if the date is not set, the villagers will slack off and stop working.

Of course, if she chooses to provide loans to the villagers, she has to go through verification, in case those who are only lazy and slippery, sneak in and cheat for loans.

This is the principle of saving the emergency rather than the poor.

So she would rather provide grain seeds to the villagers than give them rice grain directly.

If people want to get something, they have to give something, get something for nothing, there is no such thing as cheap in the world.

The magpie was so surprised that it could hardly close its mouth, "How could it be too much, madam's move is unique in our Southern Jin Dynasty, but why didn't madam ask them for interest, the villagers are in a hurry right now, so you can just ask for it Interest, they will also accept it gratefully, in that case, you will not suffer a loss, and you can still make money."

Although the magpie said so in his mouth, he didn't think so in his heart.

The house has collapsed, and there is no place to live at night. It is the end of the road, and it is good to have a little less burden.

Mu Xiang said with a smile, "I don't lack their interest. Rather than charging them interest and driving them to nowhere, they can't even eat, they are poor and starving, it's better to let them rebuild their homes. With homes, they can If you have the intention to plant the land well, the food production will be guaranteed. I am called far-sighted, and with your two brains, you can't understand it!"
