While waiting for the massage, Li Xuantian and Shangguan Qi were not prepared at all and were grimacing in pain.
Li Ye explained: "It may be a little strange at first, but you will feel comfortable soon.
There are many acupoints on the soles of the feet. Regular massage can invigorate blood circulation and relieve fatigue.
It’s also good for the body.”
Shangguan Qi grinned and said, "You know what, although it hurts a little, it does feel comfortable.
This feels a bit strange!"
"Interesting!" After getting used to it, Li Xuantian also began to enjoy it.
After massaging for nearly half an hour, he asked the two to lie down and started a full-body massage again.
It took a full hour.
Li Xuantian and Shangguan Qi's faces were flushed.
This was the first time I experienced this kind of enjoyment, and everyone seemed very satisfied.
"How did you come up with this form of entertainment?" Li Quantian asked doubtfully.
After a massage, I can’t stop.
No wonder when I came here, I saw many customers coming and going, looking like they were enjoying themselves.
I know the business here is really good.
It has a huge appeal especially to men.
Li Ye made up an excuse to evade the question: "Actually, this is a method I came up with through Chinese medicine acupuncture points. It is both enjoyable and good for the body.
It's much better than visiting a brothel or gambling.
But I was busy later and didn’t have time to try it.
This disaster relief required a large amount of money and food, so we thought of trying this method.
But even I didn’t expect business to be so good.”
Li Xuantian was still a little unsatisfied and was thinking about training a few palace maids in the palace.
Being busy with all kinds of things can make you tired. A massage can really relieve your fatigue and also make you feel very comfortable.
Of course I wouldn't object to such a business.
"Yes, you are able to adapt to circumstances and think of so many solutions. It's rare!
Let’s take a look at the situation in the gambling house!
I don't believe gambling can be a good thing."
"Okay, let's go to the biggest gambling house now!"
Together we took a carriage to the largest gambling house in Bafang.
There are more people here.
It’s not just wealthy people in fancy clothes who come and go.
There were also ordinary people wearing short sackcloth.
But everyone had an extremely fanatical look on their faces, and some even had red eyes from gambling.
The gambling house is about ten feet wide and is lined with many gambling tables.
There are all kinds of gambling methods.
There are many that even Li Xuantian and Shangguan Qi have never heard of.
What’s even more outrageous is that there are many slogans on the walls and pillars of the gambling house.
"Small gambling brings joy, but big gambling harms the body!"
"Gambling can ruin people's fortunes, so don't get addicted!"
“Stay away from gambling and build a beautiful family!”
…
It is hard to imagine that there are so many anti-gambling slogans in a gambling house.
People who see it for the first time will simply be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But the people who come here don’t seem to care about these slogans at all and are too lazy to even take a second look at them.
Li Ye explained carefully at the side: "Our government-run gambling houses have set a cap on betting amounts to prevent customers from gambling too much and risking their lives.
It is also strictly forbidden to borrow money after losing all the money gambling here, in order to prevent bankruptcy.
There are also levels set up according to the gambler's wealth.
The higher the level, the higher the upper limit of the bet you can make. Ordinary people can only bet small amounts..."
Hearing what Li Ye said, Li Xuantian nodded repeatedly.
It is indeed the most worthy thing for us to do.
Not only can you make money, but you can also minimize the chances of gamblers losing everything.
After watching it carefully, I found that it was indeed as Li Ye said.
The gambling houses here are very different from those in other places.
After watching, Li Ye took Li Xuantian to the rest room.
From here you can also see the entire casino through the window.
"I think your highness's management method is indeed worth learning from!
If a gambling house were to be officially run in the capital, it would bring considerable income to the court."
Shangguan Qi was a little moved.
The large amount of dividends collected every day can easily exceed the tax burden of an entire province.
There are plenty of rich people in the world.
They were all afraid and felt sad if the court collected an extra pound of tax.
But he didn't care at all about spending money in the gambling house.
It would be better for the court to keep the money itself than to let others make it.
Li Ye said: "If it is well managed, it would be nice to turn it over to the imperial court.
But you can't enter openly.
You can privately send someone to operate the business under another name.
However, running this kind of gambling house also requires sufficient preparation.
We are not afraid of troublemakers, but we must be absolutely fair and just.
Some con men do not follow the rules and use cheating methods to win money.
This is absolutely not allowed in our gambling room.
Therefore, there are experts in our gambling house. Once a cheater is discovered, he must be exposed in person and all the money he has defrauded must be returned.
Severe punishment will also be imposed.
It is precisely because it can do these things that it is so popular among gamblers.
Even if you're running a gambling house, you have to put your reputation first."
"Well, that's a good idea! It's indeed inappropriate to operate in the name of the court.
A person who is too reliable will open a gambling house under a different name.
This way, the reputation of the imperial court will not be affected."
Li Xuantian was convinced.
A penny can make a hero fall.
What's more, you can make money in an honest way, so why not do it?
After watching for a while, he confirmed that Li Ye was not lying at all.
It is indeed a good thing to run a gambling house in this way.
After watching, leave the casino.
I immediately gave up riding in a carriage and decided to walk instead.
The streets were bustling with people.
There are many people on both sides of the road trying to attract customers. Not only are the shops doing good business, but there are also small vendors setting up stalls on the roadside.
The whole street is filled with the bustling atmosphere of life.
Even Li Xuantian was a little intoxicated by it. This is life.
The atmosphere is several times stronger than that in the palace.
"You've only been here for a little over half a year, and you've managed to achieve this level. You're doing quite well.
Many capable officials are not as good as you!"
Li Xuantian gave Li Ye a very high evaluation.
Li Ye was very modest: "Your Majesty, you are too kind! This is not the credit of me alone, but the result of the joint efforts of many honest officials.
In the past, they were unwilling to go along with their superiors and were suppressed in various ways, unable to display their talents.
Since the arrest of dozens of corrupt officials in Nanyuan.
I am very short of manpower, so I will promote these people temporarily.
After more than half a year of observation, we determined that these people are indeed very capable and honest in their official duties.
I had originally planned to write a memorial to my father in the next few days, asking him to confer official positions on them.
Now that the Emperor has arrived, can we meet with them and reward them based on their merits?"
"I have to meet him! But since he's the one you chose, I still trust him.
The fact that the governance is so good alone proves the ability of these people.
Just as you said, I agree with everything.
You can promote capable people for the court, how can I refuse you? " Li Xuantian was in a very good mood and agreed to all of Li Ye's requests without hesitation.
