Lord of the North

　　 "You guys wait for me here for a while." Jason said with a smile at the two, then got up and opened the door and went out, leaving the two women confused.

　　 He stood outside the door thinking for a while, sent a guard to the town to hire a carpenter, and then stood in the garden thinking.

　　 The way Jason thought to relieve their boredom was to make a deck of cards, a casual game that swept the world in past lives.

　　 The origin of playing cards is still uncertain. One said it evolved from the development of tarot cards, and the other said it was introduced to Europe from Egypt.

　　 As for the "ghost card", it first appeared in the United States and then spread back to Europe.

　　 In fact, in ancient China, there were games similar to playing cards, except that leaves were used as toys.

　　 It’s just that Jason really wants to make playing cards because he has a profitable idea-casino!

　　 This is a huge profitable project built on people's greed and adventurous psychology, speculation and fluke psychology, and thrill-seeking pleasure.

　　 It is difficult for people who believe in this world to refuse this kind of activity.

However, although the casino can bring huge profits to himself and the territory, it may also destroy one family after another, and there are various adverse effects that may occur. Therefore, Jason hesitated before, but saw the many new faces in the castle. , Jason still decided to build this casino.

　　 As long as it can develop and prosper its territory, the various negative costs brought by casinos are not unacceptable.

　　Jason wants to build the first casino in the town of Erbia. The casino does not participate in the gambling games, but every gambling game casino must draw a part of the proceeds. If the development goes well, it will be built into a large casino!

　　 Then divide the casino into three levels, upper, middle and lower. Only if the wealth is sufficient can you enter a more advanced casino.

　　 In this way, good-looking nobles or merchants will vie for more high-end occasions, and the more profit Jason can get.

　　 But all of this needs to be established with the Kyle family's vigorous publicity, the big deal is to let them participate in the way of equity.

As for the playing cards are easy to imitate, the question of whether they will be imitated by others is indeed inevitable. Jason thinks that this cannot be called a problem. It is certain to disperse some customers, but as long as you can create new ways of playing, Alba’s Casinos must still account for the majority.

　　 After all, there are so many playing cards in his mind, and one of them will be released after a period of time, enough to attract the attention of gamblers. By then, the town of Erbia will become the largest gambling city in the entire north.

　　 It’s been a long time, and when the Albay Casino becomes a sign, you don’t have to worry about no one coming to send money.

　　 In addition, you can also make mahjong tiles, and then through the promotion of the Kyle family, these easy-to-play and addictive entertainment games should be popular enough in the mainland.

　　 But there is no paper material suitable for making cards, so he plans to use wooden cards instead, so that the guards will call a carpenter to chop the wood to make cards for him.

　　 Soon, the guards hurried back with a carpenter. He rushed on horseback. Although the lord did not know what the carpenter wanted to do, it was the right thing to get the job done as quickly as possible.

　　 "My lord, the carpenter has brought it here."

　　 "Little man Raman, meet the lord!" Carpenter Raman kneeled on the ground and saluted respectfully and excitedly. Although he didn't know what happened to Jason, but as long as he seized this opportunity, maybe he would be so prosperous.

　　 "Well, get up." Jason looked at this Raman, who was as burly as all the locals, with a thick callus on his hands.

　　 "I want to make some gadgets, I need your help."

　　 "I can't help you, you can ask me what you want!" Raman was a little flattered.

　　 Then Jason said that the playing cards he wanted to make, should be said to be poker wooden cards.

　　 Not long after, Raman made fifty-four palm-sized thin wooden plaques at his request. The material was black wood, a kind of wood for practicing swords, and the texture was very hard.

　　 Then after polishing and engraving patterns and numbers, the world's first deck of playing cards was born.

　　 During the production process, Jason was also amazed by the patterns carved by Raman. I can't tell that this big man actually has such a delicate carving technique.

　　 "My lord, it's done!" Raman wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was very exhausting to do this kind of thing.

　　 "Well, it's pretty good." Jason nodded with satisfaction looking at the wooden sign in his hand. Now the two little girls won't be bothered and bored.

　　 "Thank you for your praise!"

　　 "Reward him a silver coin." Jason said to the guard behind him, this wooden sign really made him very satisfied.

　　 "Thank you sir!" Raman said gratefully. Although he didn't get a good job, it would be great to impress Jason.

　　 Then just as he was about to retreat with the guards, Jason suddenly stopped him again.

　　 "Wait a minute." Jason looked at the wooden sign in his hand and thought for a while.

　　 "You can go back and publicize it now. In the near future, the town government will set up a construction team. A group of masons and carpenters are needed. Then you can take them to participate."

　　 Jason only said that he should be promoted instead of responsible, because he still doesn't know how Raman is like, so it's not easy to make a decision too early.

　　 And Jason has the idea of ​​letting him be responsible for making things like playing cards and mahjong tiles in the future.

　　 "Thank you, sir!" Raman's chest was instantly filled with huge surprises.

　　 "Yes, make another one for me, and then go down." Jason waved his hand, and now he is going back to comfort the little girl Alexis, hoping she will like this entertaining game.

　　 After all, that little girl can't use ordinary people to guess, her hobbies are all different.

　　 As for the new pair, Jason is going to the store manager where the Kyle family stayed here. Through him, he contacted the lady to discuss cooperation in building a casino.

　　 "I'm back." Jason yelled outside her door.

　　 Soon Lorna ran over and opened the door for him, and looked behind Jason curiously, but there was nothing.

　　 "Brother, are you coming back so soon?" Alexis also stared at Jason curiously, saying something to relieve his boredom?

　　 "Brother lied." She stared for a while and found nothing, UU reading www. uukanshu.com said angrily.

　　 "Don't worry." Jason walked to the bed and sat down and took the wooden sign from his pocket.

　　 "How could I lie to you, here is the thing!"

　　 "What is this...?" Alexis and Lorna looked blank, they had never seen them before.

　　 Then Jason asked Lorna to sit down and explain to them how to play. The gameplay is the simplest way to play Doudizhu.

　　 and used Lorna’s favorite nut as a prize.

　　 The two of them learned very quickly, they only learned a few times after listening to the explanation.

　　 The effect of playing cards is not bad. Alexis is very interested in this novelty. Soon three people are laughing and laughing in the room.

　　 However, Jason has almost never lost due to his rich experience. The three of them have the most nuts in front of him. Little Lorna is about to cry as she looks at the dwindling pile of small nuts in front of him.

　　 It’s just that the easy time passed quickly. The guards notified Jason, and Lancelot asked him to come over, and the interrogation had a result.

"You two can call a maid over and let her play with you." Jason waved back the guards and said to them, before the castle had hired some maids, after all, the castle was too big, and Guang Lorna couldn't clean it by herself. .

　　 "Brother, come and visit me often." Alexis said pitifully, while Lorna looked at the nuts that Jason hadn't taken away.

　　 Sometimes Lorna is more like a squirrel than a fox.

　　 "Okay." Jason smiled and agreed.

　　His smile disappeared after leaving the house. The time just now made him very happy, and he can temporarily forget those bad things.

　　 "He recruited?"

　　 "Yes, my lord, he failed to withstand the torture." The guard's face became a little pale, and he was frightened.
