Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

At this point in time in the late Han Dynasty, it was sheer nonsense to ban pornography. What Chen Xi prohibited more was human trafficking, hookups, brothels, etc. It was not completely banned. At most, it was an effort to reverse the existing social atmosphere. .

The administrative and social control capabilities required for a complete ban are too strong, and it is simply not something Chen Xi can do. Therefore, be realistic and guide from the perspective of social atmosphere, reduce the number of hook bars and brothels as much as possible, and strengthen manage.

As for the gambling industry and gambling houses, Chen Xi has also put restrictions on it, but it is unrealistic to ban it completely. After all, this behavior has been around since ancient times, even if there are not as complicated tricks as later generations, all kinds of stimulation of dopamine in the human brain The released stuff still exists.

Human beings inevitably need some entertainment, and most entertainment is either adventure or gambling. It is difficult for human nature to avoid these two behaviors. As I complained before, if games are eliminated, the worst is to raise birds like the Qing Dynasty. , Playing cards has eliminated bird-raising and playing cards. At worst, we can learn from Ming Dynasty cricket fighting and willow shooting. We have eliminated cricket fighting and willow shooting. At worst, we can learn from Tang and Song Dynasty's throwing pots, cockfighting and dog fighting.

Anyway, human nature is here. No matter how you eliminate it, you can't change that this group of people just like entertainment and entertain themselves to death. To put it bluntly, it is human nature to love to play.

Gambling has been around for a long time. In addition to the so-called psychology of getting rich quickly, it is more of a nature. If you don’t gamble on something, you always feel that there is a missing link in human life. Even if you don’t win money, you still have to gamble just for fun.

In this environment, what Chen Xi can suppress is actually poison. However, these days, there are not many poisons in the Central Plains. Five Stone Powder and other things are still very different from the stuff of later generations. Please spread the word more. If you eat this thing, you will become mentally disabled and have low combat effectiveness. Considering the current environment, most aristocratic families will work hard to eliminate it.

There is no way, fighting power and brainpower are really important these days. The pleasure brought by Five Stone Powder is nothing compared to one's own great ideals!

Therefore, Poison was strangled to death before it developed. However, Huang and Gambling have always existed, but because Chen Xi's management is relatively formal, although there are some troubles every year, there are no family breakdowns.

After all, if it is just for fun, especially something that looks extremely fierce like cockfighting, there is no multiplier or upper limit to win or lose, so the win or loss is not much.

In addition, the gambling industry has been crooked since Yuan Fengnian, that is, the rules of the game are black dealers and lucky ones. As a result, people with relatively normal brains basically don't know how to play, but there are always some idiots who think that One's own abilities are stronger than those of the opponent.

Therefore, up to now, there have been two modes in gambling houses. One is the conventional mode, which means no one can say it. If you are caught, you will be expelled and stabbed. This kind of gambling house will hang you in the lobby. Once a sign is written, no one will be allowed to sell it, and a very good veteran must be hired to watch the place.

Generally speaking, this kind of gambling house is basically a serious gambling house, with a limit, a blacklist, a high limit for losing and a high limit for winning, and there are serious backers behind it.

Then this kind of gambling house developed and evolved into introducing you to a daily job after you lose money, and even developed to the point of introducing you to a stable job. After all, some shameless families have no intention of taking advantage of the gambling house. To make money, just wait for this group of people to lose, and then take them away with them.

As for gambling, you will be sent to the military camp. Military management will not give you the opportunity to gamble. Ordinary families cannot control such misbehavior of the mainstay of the family, but large aristocratic families, ha!

As long as you have the ability, we have a way to get you to stop gambling. Besides, if you have everyone in your territory, if you really want to be able to get out of the military camp, then we don't mind if you gamble twice. Anyway, Every gambling house in my fiefdom is opened by me. I wish that all the money you earned through hard work would be used for gambling.

In this case, we will take good care of your family. When it is time to go to the battlefield and fight hard, I will see if you fight hard or not. The overall money I spent is less than the family of a top centurion, but I gain loyalty and gain. There are more benefits than that.

If it weren't for Chen Xi's pressure, the Central Asian family that was the first to discover this logic might have set up a trap to trap these veterans. After all, this is indeed a very easy-to-operate plan.

Although dog bettors are inhumane, dog bettors have to maintain their social reputation and family structure before their credibility completely collapses. In this era of loyalty, trust, benevolence and filial piety, this set of gameplay is very useful, as long as you can Hold down the gambling dog's head.

If the aristocratic family can really do it, then these gambling dogs can really be used by the aristocratic family.

As for the other kind, it is even more wild. Heizhuang and Chuqian are must-try game rules. This is the most significant impact Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang have had on the entire world's gaming industry. Even because this impact is too significant, Chen Xi sees Some things called gambling are actually real games of combat power between the two sides. They all think that this is also considered gambling?

However, this is really considered gambling, and there are many people who like to participate in this kind of gambling. After all, there are gamblers, and this kind of gambling is more interesting.

Take Sun Qian's cockfighting as an example. The former kind of cockfighting can only be watched by spectators, letting the chickens fight, and then using one's own chips. The latter kind is more powerful. People standing outside the circle can use various methods. It's just that you can't use weapons, as long as you make a bet, you can participate.

There are many more people involved in this outrageous thing than the one above. There are even indestructible wild roosters, some phantom clones of wild roosters, some essence of heaven and earth condensed, and some rooster crows that form visible sound waves. Strike, what kind of rooster spreads its wings and releases magical slashes, etc.

In short, even if it is not for winning money, and they do not know the size of the rooster on the opposite side, purely blind pressing, there are still a large group of people paying a penny to use talents to give the opponent the entire ultimate move.

It's only a penny. I won't eat the fish cakes today. I want this rooster to use a big move to open the eyes of the buddy on the opposite side!

It is roughly this kind of outrageous mentality, so after catching the rooster from the mountain every ten days, the bosses of the construction team gather around and start betting. It doesn't matter whether you win or not, anyway, the skills must be released, and even be derived later. , the fighting cock's head has been knocked off, but it can still fight with its claws, and the rules of the game are broken.

It's fun, it's really fun. Every time there is a cockfight, a large group of people will come around, not to watch the cockfight, but to learn the cool skills of the big guy. Someone else's chicken spreads its wings and releases a vacuum blade. He knocked off the head of the chicken on the opposite side, but even so, the headless chicken maintained its own state and continued to fight.

When Sun Qian has nothing to do, he would go and watch such outrageous stuff. Don't tell me, it's really interesting, exciting, and so intense.

So when Liu Bei talked about the gambling industry, Sun Qian thought, this thing is actually very good. As for whether it is forbidden or not, let's put it aside for now. You can just say whether this thing is fun or not. Of course it is fun. , as long as there is a limit for betting and a limit for monthly winnings and losses, this thing is actually quite entertaining.

Anyway, Sun Qian has seen guys with five levels of smelting. From the beginning, the bets were relatively large, and when the limit was approaching at the end of the month, the bets became smaller and smaller, and finally he started to bet a cent.

From Sun Qian's point of view, this is pure entertainment. There is no gambling at all, he just loves to play.

"There are also some gambling houses in Chengdu, but the gambling houses in Chengdu are generally not about direct gambling, but about cockfighting and dog fighting." Chen Deng explained, there was no way, the gambling houses that directly gambled money had been killed, and Sun Gan's group of people have been playing cockfighting and dogfighting without a bottom line in Sichuan and Sichuan for so many years, and they have distorted the atmosphere of the gambling industry in Sichuan and Sichuan.

Compared with the speed of winning and losing in normal gambling, the speed of winning and losing in cockfighting and dogfighting is slower, and it is easy to shift people's interest from gambling to watching cockfighting and dogfighting. As a result, after many casinos opened this stall, some stopped gambling. Yes, I just wanted to see cockfighting and dogfighting, so I came over and watched with two cents, which I used as the ticket price, and I was very happy.

Therefore, Chen Deng never thought about cracking down on this kind of thing. In his opinion, it is also a kind of entertainment. Although it has some non-productive meaning, it is not serious to that extent, and it is a kind of fun.

"The veteran over there in Guanzhong has become a beggar after losing, and his wife and children are gone." Liu Bei said to Sun Qian with a dark face.

"Well, how should I put this? Lieutenant, it is impossible to lose and become a beggar. The reason for begging is only that he has a problem. In the current environment, even beggars in Zichuan have been arrested for training. Where are the beggars?" Sun Qian sighed and said, "Beggars on the road, as long as they are not disabled, will be taken to receive skills training. If this is not possible, they can also be organized into households to open up wasteland."

It is actually not a good idea to directly organize the homeless and beggars into households to clear the wasteland. This means that some people are good men in another place. However, considering that it is not a major case, even if these homeless and beggars have some past lawlessness, Behavior, as long as they live a stable life, can also provide certain output for society. Considering the overall population size, Chen Xi acquiesced to this reality.

Therefore, in this act of reorganizing the homeless and beggars into households, all the land provided needs to be reclaimed. Increase the early investment of the homeless and beggars to prevent these people from having illegal thoughts again and thinking that they have broken the law. As long as you run away successfully, you can live in another place.

After all, the sunk costs are high, and you will inevitably feel distressed when you run away.

Generally speaking, such continuous household registration has indeed completely eliminated beggars and refugees. Even though reclaiming wasteland is relatively difficult and time-consuming, with a place to live and fields, beggars and refugees can be considered a turnaround. , all that's left is work.

So up to now, beggars and refugees are basically not seen on the roads. Even the government officials in various places are still taking the initiative to arrest beggars and refugees. After all, this can be considered as credit, but it is not too much.

"So, Lieutenant, the beggars you can see are all very capable beggars. Even if I tell my conscience, they are the kind of strong people who have special skills, can run and jump, and even the local government officials cannot catch them if they chase them. , Their abilities are destined to make them survive if they want a decent life, they can work anywhere." Sun Qian said with a somewhat comforting tone.

A beggar with complete hands and feet who can lie down in a place like Guanzhong, according to Sun Qian's experience, must have at least three smeltings, and the three smeltings must be speed-biased. According to Liu Bei's description, this person has participated in Liu Bei knew all the veterans from the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, as well as those with noble titles, even those with four or five levels of smelting.

Such a well-equipped veteran turns into a beggar...

If this kind of people can become beggars, it will almost turn the whole world against them. Well, this is obviously because this veteran was hit by some kind of blow, and then he got into trouble. Otherwise, at this level, whether he goes to the state-owned construction team to fight Hui, I'd better go to Beijiang Ranch to live a life. If I can't go to the Fisheries Department, Agricultural and Grain Food and other places to be a janitor, I can still have a decent face.

There were probably only 20,000 people in the entire Han Dynasty in the Fourth Level Smelting. Now that they were cursed by world consciousness, it was a question whether there were still that many people. The result was like this? Is this a social problem? No, this is purely a problem of the veteran himself.

In addition to the dawdling jobs above, veterans of the fourth and fifth levels of smelting can also get a lot of strange things, such as helping some evil families to capture experimental subjects. This will give them easy money and subsidies. Maybe they will be lucky. , and you can also pick up some usable technologies; for example, help some aristocratic families lead a team to blockade the area where some thieves are located, etc. How much does it cost for how long?

For this kind of strange job, you can get a lot of it in Chang'an by relying on the strength of four or five levels of smelting. Strength is a harder currency than money.

After all, if the money is gone, it is gone. As long as the person is still there and the strength is still there, even if you have a broken arm or leg, you can still come as a teacher. The major families don't mind spending an extra one or two thousand yuan a month to hire one. The disabled people who had been smelted in the fourth and fifth levels helped them lead their own recruits.

Therefore, in Sun Qian's view, the person Liu Bei met was purely because of his own fault and had nothing to do with society or gambling houses. He just continued to make money when he ran out of money. As long as you don't gamble too much, you can do it four or five times. Veterans, no matter how down they are, can never be as down as this.

The worst thing is to sell yourself to a wealthy family and have someone pay for your food and accommodation. If you go to the authorities, they can help you negotiate a deal. It's said to be selling your body, but in fact it's just a long-to-death contract.

At that time, just add a clear message that all the money will be given to him to organize various things for food, drink and entertainment, without taking a penny or lending him any money. That will be fine.

After all, there are times when gambling dogs bark and call for quitting gambling. Take advantage of that time and make a fortune without money!
