Two years later, in Jinzhou, the man played the last card, mahjong pushed it, and he was crazy!

The excited host held up the winner's hand: "I declare that Shen Que wins! He is the winner of this Jinzhou first sparrow **** contest!"

A slightly thin man passed the test all the way, until now, his face that is not particularly handsome finally couldn't help showing his joy: "I won, I won!"

In addition to a special medal, he also received very generous prizes, a mahjong made of gold, and a silver ticket from Chase Bank, which said five thousand taels of silver.

The mahjong tiles are of normal size and made of pure gold. It weighs about two catties of gold, one or two gold, ten taels of silver, plus the five thousand taels of silver. This is definitely not a small number.

The key is the winner of the first Jinzhou Bird God Tournament. This title will also bring him various invisible benefits.

As Qiao Qing expected, she used the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital to promote mahjong and let the people play mahjong, and then mahjong swept the entire Qi Dynasty from top to bottom at an astonishing speed.

Qiao Qing remembers very limited gameplay, but she encouraged the diversification of mahjong.

Folk relatives and friends can play with little Caitou, such as melon seeds, peanuts, rice and so on.

Needless to say, in order to play mahjong, she released the fake Tianxiang princess from the cold palace.

The Queen Mother Bo, the women beside her, Mrs. Zhen, and Princess Tianxiang, just made up the table.

It is difficult for idlers to resist the charm of mahjong, but in a year or a half, mahjong has entered thousands of households. Every new year and festive season, mahjong is rubbed to promote economic circulation. There are some counties with relatively poor local characteristic industries. He seized the spring breeze of Mahjong in time to hold a special contest, and gave generous bonuses to mobilize in front, so that the whole state and counties became lively.

It seems that the local officials paid a lot of money to do this kind of thing, and they paid out the prizes and covered the expenses of other places, but in fact, this gimmick attracted many stores and actually activated the local economy.

This is why some places hold traditional festivals every year, such as giving vinegar and soy sauce...

This is not only a good-looking local yamen, but also a local cultural feature.

Those second-rate people who wander around and harass others all day long fell in love with the seemingly simple activity of mahjong. Because of these people, there are fewer disputes in some places.

After all, rubbing mahjong is all about setting up a table to work in a closed room, and sitting at the table for several hours, even if it is because of mahjong disputes, they still play in the house and will not go to the street and hurt. To other people, it reduces harassment.

After all, under this condition, although both men and women can play Mahjong, it is usually the case. Except for one's own family, men and women have different tables.

Men's hemp friends are all men, even if some people have sex, there is no such condition.

Of course, the benefits of mahjong are not all benefits. In the casino, when mahjong was launched, they saw this business opportunity for the first time, and immediately put their dice-throwing activities to the corner. Go, the mahjong table moved into the casino.

Qiao Qing has always encouraged fun in this regard and refused to bet/gambling, but even if she legislates, no matter how strict she is, there will always be people who make these things privately.

As long as someone dreams of getting rich for nothing, getting rich overnight, and the mentality of gambling will never go extinct, this kind of thing will never be banned.

Qiao Qing thinks about the mahjong pavilion where people play mahjong in later generations. As long as they don't play too much and don't step on the red line, it can be regarded as a serious shop.

Moreover, he can open two places himself. Most of the regular customers are people with spare money in their hands, and they have all kinds of education, so they are very suitable places to listen to news.

Compared with brothels and gambling shops, mahjong halls are more conscientious than the former.

As long as the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, she will pursue this matter. With the help of mahjong, she also engages in a wave of cultural export and makes the business go to other countries.

In addition to these, Qiao Qing developed chess, which was only spread to the upper class of the nobility.

The name of this chess piece, she still continued its original name, king, queen, knight.

She didn't make a localized adaptation. After all, the rule of chess is that the winning side is to eat the opponent's king, and if the king is changed to the emperor and the queen, who else can dare to play such chess besides the emperor.

This chess is different from mahjong. People with strong arithmetic skills can also play mahjong. But in general, mahjong also requires a certain amount of luck. It is more universally entertaining and more suitable for promotion.

Chess and Go are similar. They are both intellectual games. There are many pieces of chess and the rules are complicated. It requires strong calculation and strategic abilities.

This is an intellectual game and requires a certain threshold. If you haven't learned the corresponding calculations, you won't be able to play it at all.

The people below play mahjong with a lot of fun, but the scholar-officials in the court are particularly popularizing chess, thinking that it is a good thing to divide them from the civilians.

No matter what they think, as the people behind it, as well as the mysterious distributor who made this thing.

Qiao Qing's purse, which had been deflated due to education and military affairs, was replenishing again, and it was even more bulging than before.

Being clearly ill, but stubbornly succumbing to his advantage, and younger brother succumbing to the old emperor's chosen son, Qiao Qing's luck is obviously good.

In the past three years after becoming the emperor, Qi country has been in good weather. Although local disasters are inevitable, there have been no major disasters, major droughts, and serious floods.

For this reason, Qiao Qing promoted a wave of his own reputation, saying that the emperor is the blessing in the sky.

Of course, she hasn't been marketing too much. After all, she still thinks that she can live for many years. During this period, it is impossible to completely avoid any major natural disasters.

Of course, when that time comes, she will definitely arrange for a "scapegoat". Natural disasters are not what she wants, and many people die in places where the disaster is not serious because of ineffective official measures.

The key is to look at the handling of local government officials and the effectiveness of disaster relief.

The working people of the Qi Dynasty have a pair of diligent hands. As long as the policies given are strong, she believes that these people will soon build new homes.

Most of the time, the reason why the disaster becomes particularly serious is not because of natural disasters but because of the epidemic.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Qiao Qing is sometimes beyond reach, but she will never carry any country on the back of local officials.

Three years are enough to change a lot of things. The dam proposed by Wang Bin has been successfully built with Qiao Qing’s strong support. In three years, about half of it has been built, and the rest is still being built. Improve and consolidate.

This new dam experienced a heavy rainstorm. At that time, the rainstorm lasted for more than ten days. The low-lying places were full of stagnant water, and even wild fish emerged.

According to this situation, if the embankment had long been broken in previous years, but because of the embankment built by Wang Bin and the timely dredging of officials, no one in the Shu that he governed would be affected.

The local people were grateful to Wang Bin and praised Wang Bin as a good official.

Generally speaking, when the people are affected by the disaster, the court will reduce or exempt the taxes and fees of the year according to the disaster situation, but unless it is particularly serious, the court will open the grain depot and distribute food to the people.

The food they were given was barely enough for them to make a living, so if they were hit by a disaster, they would only be able to eat the food left over from the past, and life would become very sad.

If it wasn't for a good official like Wang Bin, to dredge and store water in time, and to help the people in disaster relief, how could they have such a good life?

Wang Bin was very moved, but he didn't dare to take all the credit to himself, and turned around to promote the benefits of the emperor.

He is an official that Qiao Qing uses vigorously, so he naturally hopes to be well today.

Although the emperor is temperamental, he has distinct rewards and punishments, and he did not sprinkle his anger on him at will. Wang Bin is very clear in his heart that the emperor is good, and he can be well.

Thanks to the blessings of these ministers who know how to repay her, Xiaoqing has a good reputation in many places.

The three-year period was enough for Qiao Qing to cultivate a wave of people. In the past few years, some of them were talents collected by Qiao Qing using the Jishantang, and some of them were ethnic people with some blood ties to her.

When the first emperor was still alive, the former prince was always suppressed. Although there was one who could barely be called the backer of the aristocratic family, there were not many smart people in the Tian family.

Throughout history, those emperor's relatives with flowers and brocades will not end well after the next emperor takes office.

When Qiao Qing came to the throne, it was good that they could not hold back Qiao Qing.

Now that the situation in the capital has been settled, and the grass at the head of King Liang's tomb, which was expected by the people in the past, is three feet high, Qiao Qing has planted some Tian family members.

There are many positions in this capital. You don't need to be smart or capable. As long as your head is not stupid or smart, you can sit in this position.

Qiao Qing is not very worried about the issue of relatives at all, because Tian's family is destined to be unable to use filial piety to suppress her in the absence of Queen Tian.

Qiao Qing's eccentricity towards the Tian clan members is very upright. As long as she is obedient, she will give resources and rewards, and ask all kinds of teachers to teach, even if it is a pig, she can teach adults.

At the same time, Qiao Qing also asked the Tian family to take care of their own tribe if they wanted to receive this kind of protection.

The direct line is okay. I saw one of the branches who dared to brave his name to show off his power and brave his homeland for disaster. Then their entire branch would lose their resources, and they would not be allowed to enter the office within three generations.

Even if there are no smart people in this generation, but in such an educational environment, Qiao Qing can always get her satisfied and useful talents.

When Qiao Qing's throne became more and more stable, his 22-year-old birthday was passed in the blink of an eye, and his back position was hanging in the sky. It was almost time to start preparing for the queen candidate.

After all, according to what Yanyu said, even if the emperor gave him three years, two and a half years have passed now. From the selection of the emperor to the preparations for the emperor’s wedding, it will take half a year, for Qiao Qing, for the sake of Qi Chao Jiangshan Sheji. Stable, the courtiers said: Now is the best time.
