Therefore, this time, Fanqing agreed directly, without even a reason.
"Since everyone in Miqing is so considerate, I will accept it!" Zhu Song arched his hands, turned his head to Xu Miaojin and said, "Miaomiao, the music and singing in Haicheng are unparalleled in the world, but the cook in Haicheng They also have good cooking skills, how about we have a good meal in the city today?"
"Okay!" Xu Miaojin said, walked up to Miqing, held her hand, and said, "Sister Miqing, this time I will have a good meal with you, what do you think?"
Mi Qing naturally knew what Xu Miaojin meant, so she smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely let you have a different impression of us going to Haicheng today!"
Xu Miaojin smiled cleverly and said, "So, sister will wait and see?"
……
A week passed quickly, and it was just dawn on this day when the "Money Duo" gambling house located in the interrupted Chengbei Street of Nanjing showed a notice covered in big red wedding paper.
There was only one piece of news on the announcement, and that was the odds of the cuju competition between Daming and the Eastern Roman Empire: 1 to 50!
That is to say, if you win by buying Ming, the gambler will naturally return as much money as you bought from Daming, and if you win by buying the Eastern Roman Empire, then the Eastern Roman Empire will really win, and you will naturally make a lot of money. 50 times the money.
If you buy 1 taels of gold from the Eastern Roman Empire, you will win 50 taels of gold, which is a huge profit!
As soon as this news came out, the entire city of Nanjing became a sensation, and all the people were rushing to tell the story, and those merchants also began to formulate their own small odds based on this odds, 1 to 3, 1 to 5... Some even offer big odds of 3 to 1, 8 to 1. It seems that there are not a few people who want rare goods to live in!
In the inner hall of the post house, Scott and Weston were throwing teacups and bowls in the room, and they were still yelling some ugly words in the language of the Eastern Roman Empire.
"Damn it, damn it, this shopkeeper with 'a lot of money' is really damned. He dared to set the odds so low. Could it be that he is deceiving me that there is no one in the Eastern Roman Empire?"
Scott hopped his feet, with a ferocious expression on his face, almost showing his face.
Weston also lost his composure before, and threw things crazily: "Your Excellency, this time we must lodge a protest with Daming, and we must not swallow it any longer!"
Jones, who had been sitting on the main seat with a gloomy face and not saying a word, looked up at the two of them, and said, "As you said before, if the Ming court pushes everything away What? What shall we do?"
"It's easy to say." Scott grinned twice, and said: "If the imperial court doesn't care about it, we'll go directly to the door of 'more money' and force him to change the odds. Can the casino still resist our Eastern Roman Empire?"
What a joke, do you think you are in the Eastern Roman Empire? This is Daming, the imperial capital of the Ming Empire. In Nanjing, your Eastern Roman Empire is nothing!
"Hmph, doing this will only trap our people." Jones snorted coldly, and said, "Did you forget that this is Daming, where laws are strict, and in the ancient Eastern Empire there were 'princes who broke the law and common people? Even if we represent the Eastern Roman Empire, the Ming court will definitely arrest us."
"What should you do? Is it possible to let them insult us?" Weston said angrily.
"It's not impossible!" Jones said with a gloomy face, "Take out all the money we invested in the first two competitions, and bet on the Cuju competition!"
When he said this, Jones had a sly smile on his face: "Didn't he want to humiliate us? Then let's call them humiliation. With the ability of our Eastern Roman Empire Cuju team, we are sure to win this time. See Will there be fifty times as much money to compensate us for the 'more money' at that time?"
Weston and Scott looked at each other, feeling that the odds of the cuju competition didn't seem to be a bad thing. You know, the money they invested in the first two competitions had already accumulated 35 taels of silver, plus The remaining 15 taels is a proper 50 taels of silver!
Exchange 50 taels for 500 million taels of silver, this deal is really damn worth it!
……
Seven days passed quickly, and today is the day when the Eastern Roman Empire will compete with the Ming Dynasty.
Before dawn in the early morning, lights and festoons began to be decorated in the Imperial Palace of Nanjing City, and the atmosphere of competitions was everywhere, and the venue for "Yi Yi" and "Le Yi" was to choose the quiet meditation next to the Hall of Martial Arts temple.
More than 30 tables have already been set up in the Jingsi Hall. On the tables, there are all kinds of melons, fruits, fine wines, and nut snacks. If there are some delicious barbecues on the tables, a grand banquet will begin.
It's just that at this moment, there is no one in the palace, only some maids and eunuchs are busy walking in and out.
"Hey, I said, why aren't there so many people?" At this moment, Zhu Song's voice sounded.
"Uncle Songhuang, did I say you came too early?" Zhu Huixun's small face was still sleepy, and he kept covering his small mouth with his small hand and yawning, "Besides, come as soon as you come." Well, my nephew is not interested in these..."
"Huixun, is your skin itchy again?" Before the little guy finished speaking, Zhu Song reached out and grabbed Zhu Huixun's little ear, and said, "You really haven't hit me for three days, go to the room Jiewa!"
"Oh, ouch, you, please be gentle, Uncle Songhuang!" Zhu Huixun gritted his teeth in pain, his whole body was like a little stinging monkey, "Nephew, nephew knows it's wrong, please stop If you use more force, your nephew's ears will fall off!"
"It's alright, kid. Didn't you see that Zhanji is already laughing like crazy?" Zhu Song put down his hands, glanced at Zhu Zhanji who was following him on the right, and said, "When will you be as obedient as Zhanji, my king?" And don't worry."
Hearing Zhu Song's words, Zhu Zhanji's little face showed a smug look, although he didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was rich, it was like saying: "Look, Uncle Song is praising us, you OK?"
Zhu Huixun's eyes turned red immediately, and he said, "Zhan Ji, what's your expression? Believe it or not, uncle, I'll ask the prince to report you, saying you..."
Zhu Zhanji quickly stepped forward and covered Zhu Huixun's mouth, and said, "Uncle, am I not satisfied?"
"Hahaha, it would have been better if it had been like this earlier." Zhu Huixun laughed, as if he was taking pleasure in bullying Zhu Zhanji, with an expression of not wanting to be beaten, and he didn't know who he learned from.
"My servant has seen the lord!" At this moment, Zheng He greeted Zhu Song from the back of the hall, and said to Zhu Song, "The lord came really early today, and there are still many things here that have not been fully prepared!"
"Zheng He, no courtesy, no courtesy!" Zhu Song smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Isn't this king just anxious to see the competition venue? After all, this time our Ming Dynasty is the home game, and the Eastern Roman Empire is just an away game. Losing face at home in front of the away game, I'm afraid Brother Four will be angry at that time."
"My lord is very right." Although it was the first time I heard the home and away games from Zhu Song, with Zheng He's understanding, he still understood a little bit. He nodded and said: "This is the venue for the competition. The servants are arranged according to our Ming Dynasty's highest standard of welcome etiquette, presumably Jones can't find anything wrong."
"Maybe." Zhu Song shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "However, the Eastern Roman Empire is very luxurious. Although the venue for our competitions and competitions is well-arranged, it is not luxurious, shiny, or refined enough."
According to Zhu Song's understanding, the people from the Eastern Roman Empire are actually like the giant dragons in Western legends in Zhu Song's previous life. They like shiny things, just like the second idiot.
"Huh?" Zheng He was taken aback, he hadn't thought of this, and said: "My lord, according to you, how should the main hall for this competition and competition be arranged in Caicheng?"
"Well..." Zhu Song turned around in the hall, then rubbed his chin and said, "There should be a lot of colored glaze stored in our Daming Palace, right? In my king's opinion, you go to the warehouse to get some colored glaze." , crystal out, arranged in this hall, or placed under the lamp, or placed in the window, or placed in a bright place, so that after dawn, when the sun shines into the hall, it will naturally be magnificent !"
Zheng He hesitated and said: "This...but the prince, the layout in the hall is all made by the Lord Long Live..."
"You just listen to me, I will go and explain to the four emperors." Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if you don't blind those local turtles in the Eastern Roman Empire this time, I will press your head to you !"
Although Zhu Song's words were meant as a joke, they were indeed like thunder to Zheng He.
"My lord, my servants naturally believe in my lord, please don't make such jokes!" Zheng He knelt on the ground on one knee and bowed his head to Zhu Song.
Although Zheng He is the governor of Dongji Shichang, but Zhu Song is Zhu Di's younger brother, and he has a high position and power. How can Zheng He's life be exchanged?
"Okay, okay, isn't this king joking with you?" Zhu Song waved his hands again and again, and leaned over to help Zheng He up, "How about this, I'm going to ask Brother Sihuang for an order first Come down, will you arrange the hall again?"
"In this way, the servant will thank the lord!" Zheng He was afraid of death after all, so he should be willing to surrender.
Chapter 478 Start
At four o'clock, the sun was shining brightly above the sky, and the long-awaited competition between the Eastern Roman Empire and Ming Dynasty finally kicked off.
The Jingsi Hall, which has undergone a new decoration, is more resplendent and resplendent than the grand one before, capable of blinding people's eyes.
In the main hall, especially in the place where the sun can shine, there are many glass and crystal products. These things are refracted and irradiated by the sun and candlelight, and they become extremely shiny, and the entire Jingsi Hall seems to become brighter. .
In the main hall, eunuchs and maidservants were already waiting, and civil and military ministers came in one after another, but only those first and second rank officials, those low-rank officials were not eligible to enter the hall to watch the competition of.
"Oh, Mr. Wang, you are here too, you really came early enough."
"Where, where, you didn't see how many princes arrived early? I heard that that one was the first to arrive."
"Hey, let's come here just to be happy. How can those guys from the Eastern Roman Empire be our Ming's opponents?"
