Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1333: Chapter 1132: I’ll Forgive a Part of Your Debt, Oh_1 Chapter 1333: Chapter 1132: I’ll Forgive a Part of Your Debt, Oh_1 Yang Wenxiao had been laying out his plan for fifty years, gradually eliminating the influence of the Aristocratic Families like boiling a frog in warm water.

By now, the Yang Family’s hold on the imperial throne was completely secure, the Aristocratic Families were in decline, so he was ready to bare his fangs.

He had set his sights on the highly profitable industries of casinos and brothels, intending to nationalize them–a direct snatch from the mouths of the Aristocratic Families. But with the deterrent of the Divine Crossbow, no one dared to resist by force.

After fifty years, the time had finally come when he could strike his swords whenever he wanted and deal with whomever he chose.

In sending out Tong Sanlang this time, he merely wished to handle the matter gracefully on the surface.

He wasn’t robbing by force; it was just that the Aristocratic Families couldn’t match his skill.

Upon hearing Yang Wenxiao’s explanation, Tong Sanlang couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Yang Wenxiao was trying to create an image of benevolence and kindness while pushing him to the front as the target.

“But gambling is really all about luck. Your Majesty, luck is something I can’t control,” he said helplessly.

“Fifty million,” Yang Wenxiao said as he waved one palm. “If you successfully take care of this for me, I will write off your fifty million in debt. How does that sound?”

“If you succeed, along with the thirty million from the Wu Family, this trip to Capital City will net you and your wife eighty million.” Yang Wenxiao gestured the number eight, “The debt on your shoulders exceeds a billion, and this would effectively write off a hundred million.”

Tong Sanlang “…”

He touched his nose, somewhat tempted.

It had always been Qiao Xiaomai who came up with ideas to make money, but now he had a chance to earn fifty million…

But gambling, something so dependent on luck, he had no confidence in. He looked towards Qiao Xiaomai, seeking her opinion.

Qiao Xiaomai blinked. “For something like this… If we really have to do it, then we should think in advance of ways to deal with it–for instance, we decide the methods we gamble with.”

“How is it decided?” Tong Sanlang asked.

“Like stacking blocks, remember the cards under your hand when shuffling, and then calculate when throwing the dice to ensure the cards you remembered end up in your hand,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

Wu Yancai’s cheating tactics relied on having many people, with wide sleeves; such tactics were too basic.

People in later generations cheated in Mahjong mostly through means like these. With Tong Sanlang’s abilities, he should be able to manage it.

“As for playing cards, it doesn’t have to be Fight the Landlord. We could change the game, like everyone gets three cards in hand, and we use these to compare sizes. We can’t see each other’s cards, embarking on a psychological battle.”

Aside from Fight the Landlord, there were other games like show hand and Texas hold’em which were also highly popular in later times.

Although these games still relied on luck, they required more intelligence than Fight the Landlord.

Besides, there were other options like leveling up; card games had many variations!

“Your Majesty, I came up with a few game methods during my spare time. Someone, bring over the playing cards,” Qiao Xiaomai instructed a palace maid standing inside the hall, then turned back and continued, “Your Majesty, let’s give it a try. It will definitely be more thrilling than Fight the Landlord.”

“Hm?” Tong Sanlang wore a puzzled expression upon hearing this. “When did you think this up?”

“In my free time, especially after watching Wu Yancai’s cheating. I had fireworks of inspiration,” Qiao Xiaomai gave him a sidelong glance.

“Then let’s have a trial run,” Tong Sanlang nodded.

If they could lessen the role of luck and focus more on actual skill, then he was willing to help Yang Wenxiao.
