In the study of the lord's residence, Tang En was being reprimanded.
It was Aurelia who was reprimanding him.
"So, why did you invent this kind of gambling game?"
Aurelia said with a slight headache, "Originally, those gamblers only played dice and Gwent. But now, poker cards, mahjong, and billiards have all been used as new gambling methods. Alinx's inspection team went to a few private casinos. Now, basically every gambler knows about these new games. They are all so excited that it's like they've been injected with dragon's blood!"
Tang En pursed his lips very innocently, "Gambling is basically impossible to stop unless we can put an end to the human nature of taking risks. Instead of wasting effort to put an end to it, it's better to take the initiative to enter the game and guide the industry to develop it well …"
"You! You're reversing history! "
Aurelia said bitterly, "Back then, father spent a lot of manpower and resources to solve the problem of the overflowing gambling houses. I didn't expect that when it came to you, he would take a step back."
Tang En smiled bitterly. "This is a fact that countless people from many countries in our world have summed up through their bloody experiences. As long as humans still have the instinct to take advantage of others, gambling will never disappear. Under a severe crackdown, this industry will only go from being in the light to being in the dark, and the harm will be even greater."
Fiona sighed and said, "I have to admit that His Majesty is right. Even if the late king had put an end to gambling on the surface when he was on the throne, did he really put an end to it? Olga, you used to be Ye Ge and walked in the darkness of Alinx. You should know what the truth is, right? "
Aurelia, "…"
Of course, she knew. She just didn't want to see everything that her father had done be denied. She just couldn't accept it.
"Those mercenaries and adventurers, when they return from their missions, other than chatting and farting in the taverns, they're gambling and looking for women. You can't care if there's someone in their residence."
Fiona said slowly, "Instead of letting this industry rot in the dark and eventually become an uncontrollable gray industry, it's better to put it under the sun and accept the supervision and management of the people. At least to a certain extent, it can put an end to the evil spread."
"That's right!"
Tang En gave Fiona a look. She still loves me!
He said, "The disadvantage of gambling is that people tend to be hot-blooded and throw money in recklessly until they go bankrupt. Some people even deliberately lend money to these people for profit, making them completely doomed and become abandoned children of society. In the end, they go astray in order to make a living."
"So," Fiona had already understood Tang En's meaning and added for him, "In order to eliminate this crime as much as possible, we might as well regularize the gambling houses and provide formal and legal entertainment for those gamblers. At the same time, we can also open up official loan channels to a certain extent based on personal credit and ability —"
"Wait, wait, wait …"
Aurelia hurriedly stopped him. "Aren't we trying to put an end to the harm caused by loans? Why would they take the initiative to lend money to gamblers? "
Fiona smiled strangely and said, "Then we'll need our Tang En Majesty to explain it to you."
Tang En smiled and said, "Olga, what kind of people do you think like gambling?"
"Gamblers? Apart from those who have a lot of property and like to find excitement, the most should be guys who like to reap without sowing, who like to win big with a small amount, and who like to gain something without risking anything, right? "
"That's right. In other words, these people do not contribute to the progress of society at all. They are the dregs of society, the scum, and the trash who drag us down."
Tang En ridiculed those gamblers mercilessly.
"If that's the case, then why did you …"
"Since they like to gamble and jump into pits, then we'll help them. If they want to borrow money, that's fine, but they have to pay a price. We'll also have to investigate strictly and see who dares to lend them money privately."
Tang En sneered. "They don't like to work and labor. Then, after they lose all the money we lent them, they want to borrow again? No way, and they have to pay back the money immediately. No money? Then I'm sorry, your personal freedom belongs to us. Then we can rightfully arrange work for them and enforce it. They have to accept labor until the debt is paid off. "
"After the debt is paid off, they can regain their freedom. Still like to gamble? It doesn't matter. We open the door and welcome them to gamble. They just have to be prepared to accept forced labor again. "
Aurelia suddenly widened her eyes and looked astonished. "So, this is not a long-term industry at all, but a trap for gamblers. You're digging a trap for them again!?"
"They're not worth my trap."
Tang En's face was full of disdain. "At most, we can make use of these dregs of society. After all, we are so short of labor now. We can't wait to split one person into two. It's great to have one more labor force."
"Well, you're really full of bad ideas."
Aurelia was convinced. She originally thought that this guy was just messing around, but after listening to his plan, she thought carefully. Hey, it was actually a good idea!
Casinos and gamblers had always been troublesome things that were difficult to manage, especially when it involved a large number of gray industry chains. If it was not handled properly, it could easily cause social unrest.
If the plan was carried out, those dregs of society at the bottom could at least be of some use. Although they could not be expected to be of much value, at least they would not be a burden.
At the same time, if this gray industry was regularized, the annual taxes and dividends from these places would be a large amount of income, which could be used to enrich the national treasury. It was also very beneficial for the development of the government.
In this way, Tang En's plan was a good way to kill many birds with one stone. Of course, Aurelia did not have the nerve to continue to oppose it. After all, Tang En was the Regent of the Irus Empire, and Aurelia was only ruling in his place.
Seeing that the imposing Aurelia was finally not going to continue to scold him, Tang En finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly changed the topic. "Speaking of which, how's the progress of the amusement park? I have to start preparing over there. "
"It's going well."
Fiona smiled and said, "I signed a contract with Master Jean before and hired a large number of mages from the City of Silver. I promised them magic materials as a reward, so those mages are very actively participating in the construction. Now, on average, there are ten mages above the silver level permanently stationed at each construction site. With their help, many projects are progressing very quickly. I estimate that the amusement park will be able to open for business at the end of the month."
Aurelia added, "It's going well on my side too. With the advertising of the Magic Projection Tower, the government has started to help promote the amusement park in advance. Many people have come to ask what the amusement park is. It can be seen that although they don't know what it is, they are very interested in the place where the whole family can play together."
"It's said that the whole family can play together …"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Perhaps only the three of them knew the real purpose of the amusement park in the later stages.
"By the way, in addition to the amusement park, the Ryan Empire has also sent a notice."
Fiona took out a piece of paper and handed it to Tang En. "After winter, the land dragon farm in the Ryan Empire has started to gradually collect blood. It is estimated that the first batch of land dragon blood will be delivered to Ellington in the middle of this month."
"Great!"
Tang En was overjoyed. "In this way, the Oricha Steel project can officially start!"
Oricha Steel had excellent performance, and in some aspects, it was better than universal alloys. It could be used in many important places, so the related industries were very important.
Although Dragons could also synthesize a lot of Oricha Steel, it was obviously unrealistic to always rely on the blood of Dragons. The recovery effect of the Blood of the Goddess was better than nothing for Dragons, so there was no way to achieve a balance of supply. Therefore, Tang En could only focus on the land dragon farming industry.
At present, it seemed that the development of the land dragon farming industry was stable. Not only did it provide a large number of jobs for the Ryan Empire, but it also greatly increased the average income of the Ryan Empire's residents. It also strengthened the relationship between the two countries, allowing the Datang Chamber of Commerce to be more involved in all aspects of the Ryan Empire.
In the short term, the Datang Chamber of Commerce suffered a lot of losses from this investment, but in the long term, it was a profitable business. After all, this investment was likely to make a profit of an entire country. What kind of investment could be made to this extent?
The three of them continued to discuss the follow-up issues. Then, Aurelia returned to Alinx, and Fiona continued to work on other things. Tang En was left alone. Tang En rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. Then, he disappeared from the study and went directly to Shalhera.
"Rowling."
"Ah! Darling! "
Seeing that Tang En had come to find her again, Rowling cheered on the throne and rushed over. Then, with a "smack" …
"So, if you can't walk properly, don't walk, just fly …"
With a helpless expression, Tang En walked over to help Rowling up and rubbed her red nose. Rowling took the opportunity to burrow into his arms and giggle.
Unlike Lola, who was always unsatisfied with her desires, her daughter Rowling was obviously much cuter. Although she was also full of possessiveness towards Tang En, at least she would not directly pull him to have sex. Of course, this might also have something to do with the fact that she could not beat Tang En in a fight …
Although he did not want to sell his manhood, Tang En had to look at Rowling, who was taking advantage of him in his arms, and asked, "How is the task I gave you going?"
"Don't worry!"
Rowling giggled. "I've been keeping an eye on it. I promise to complete the task on time!"
"That's good …"
"So, let's get married?"
