Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Thanks to Mr. Miserable for your monthly support.

"Why did it suddenly increase?" Alfonso had already known about Spain's gambling behavior. As Spain started out as a pirate. During the period when piracy was prevalent, Spain was the most respected, and what was the life of a pirate? That is to live a life with three meals and no two nights, and the same goes for money. The Spaniards are also known to be lazy in the world, and they are often late for banquets. After the improvements he has made over the years, although many of these bad habits have been eliminated, there are still a lot of them left. Of course, such living conditions are not bad, because in fact many countries are like this too, for example In Vietnam, this is how they live their lives. If they make a small fortune today, they will not go back to work until they use up the money. Then after they get the money, they will enjoy it before working. According to them, if you have money, don’t spend it. If you don't enjoy it, then it's equivalent to making money in vain.

It makes sense, and the same is true in Spain, such as the novelist Miguel de Cervantes, the composer Isaac Albéniz, the painter Franco Goya, etc., and now in Spain And the world's most famous painter, Picasso, the founder of modern art, who is emerging in Europe and even the world. It is under the free pace of life in Spain that all kinds of talents are born, a combination of contradictions.

So he knows that opportunities are still the essence of Spanish life, so it is better to block them than to remove them. Over the years, he has been suppressing and relaxing slightly at the same time. He thought it would gradually decrease, but as for eliminating them all? Just kidding, no country can do that even in the 21st century. After all, scratch tickets, sports lotteries, even lottery tickets, etc. are just gambling in disguise.

"People's lives are becoming more and more affluent, but life is becoming more and more boring. There is nothing to do at home, work? Some people have hired people to open shops and play at home. Also, working hours are now longer. In order to shorten the time, it is twelve hours a day, but I don’t know where to put the freed time. Rich people can invest their money in stocks, and people with cars can drive their cars around all day long, but Those who are neither above nor below and those at the bottom have nothing to do every day. It just so happened that during this period in the UK and France, there was a craze for gambling. Maybe they were following the trend. After all, our country is the most open among all countries. As soon as you come in and out like this, you bring in bad habits from foreign countries." Jose was also very helpless. Originally, he didn't want to report this matter to His Majesty, but after all, this is very harmful to society. If it is not controlled, If it is good, it may cause serious losses or even turmoil for Spain.

Like Jose, and even deeper, he thought of a problem, that is, if this problem is not solved, then the hard-earned money of the Spanish people will not suddenly fly to those who open gambling houses. If in the future, high-interest loans, etc. become more prosperous, and people are attracted by seeing someone getting rich overnight, then many people may be affected by this and leave their jobs and join that team. At that time, There will definitely be social unrest in Spain. Could it be that Spain can still plunder the world like it did hundreds of years ago?

Alfonso was a little funny when he thought about this. Even the United Kingdom, the world's largest country, is only carrying out effective plunder in its own colonies. It is still doing it cautiously and covertly, fearing the world's media. Give them negative press. How could Spain do that again.

Wait, plunder?

Alfonso's heart moved and he asked Jose eagerly: "What did you just say?"

Jose: "?"

Alfonso: "It's the things you mentioned about gambling in Britain, France and other foreign countries."

Although Jose didn't know the use of His Majesty's smell, he still answered truthfully: "It is said that a large number of people in France have begun to participate in this operation. Many people are penniless for this, and some even have I owe a lot of debt for this.”

"Within range?"

"This kind of thing happens all over Europe. We commissioned several media investigations and finally found that the richer countries such as Britain, Germany, France, etc., the more people gamble and gamble, and the government can't control it. .Zhengfu fairies from many countries are surrounding and troubled, but they don’t know where to start.” The helplessness on Jose’s face showed that he had indeed tried his best.

This is the case in other countries. There is no such statement in history, but it does not mean that it has not happened, and there are some things that countries will not really record unless it is a major epidemic like influenza a few years later. , of course, World War I and II will also have their place in history.

At the same time, Alfonso also thought of another essential problem, that is, "You said that the richer the country, the more serious it is."

"Yes, the richer you are, the more likely you are to participate. Of course, the same is true for those who are neither good nor bad."

"The richer you are, how many people don't have much money?" Alfonso gently stroked his forehead, frowning and thinking: "Normally do these people have nothing to do?"

"It's very leisurely. It's okay to have a sore egg (to use a later term, hehe)."

"Pa" I saw Alfonso slam the table hard, which shocked Jose. Alfonso said: "In this case, we will vigorously support the film industry, and I will let these idle people ache. They all went to the cinema to watch movies, and there were also huge and various cultural activities, such as inviting celebrities to do some shows and so on. Picasso, yes, that Picasso guy led celebrities to hold art exhibitions in major cities. , literary exhibitions, etc., in addition to movies, Spanish piano and other musical instrument competitions will also be held. I don’t know that on campus, we need the entire society to mobilize.”

Seeing that Jose was also imitating Trini and recording his speech with a notebook, he looked at him funny and then said: "You should also join in singing, etc. In short, it can mobilize people to divert their attention from gambling. Activities can be carried out as long as they are not of the same nature as them. More venues can be opened for bullfighting, etc., which will not only attract people from our country, but also people from abroad, and improve our consumption level. It can also increase employment opportunities in disguise. Finally, in order to completely keep local people away from gambling, I decided to build a gambling city."

"Ah, is this possible?"

Alfonso: "Absolutely"

Jose asked: "Where does Your Majesty think the location should be?"

Where should I choose the location? Dear book friends, please give me some suggestions. I will take a look before uploading tomorrow. (To be continued.
