There are two reasons for Liu Feng to build this ship. The first one is to earn money from nobles, which is the best way to earn money.
The second reason is that it is used as a place to collect information. Where there are many nobles, there will be more problems. Especially now that the country has just been established, Liu Feng has been weakening the power and territory of the nobles. Some nobles are resentful.
Nobles need a place where they can communicate easily. Who makes transportation in this era so difficult? There is such a luxurious and enjoyable hidden ship.
When many aristocrats gather, they will speak out their thoughts and actions without any consideration. This is the reason why Liu Feng built a gambling boat privately. The early days of the founding of the country were the most chaotic, and this gambling boat can just help Liu Feng. Some potential cancers were dug out.
"Well, take me to the box." Liu Feng nodded lightly and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gary said respectfully.
Gary was one of the group of orcs when Mina and An Li first came to Xiyang City.
- A snake orc.
He used to work in the Safety Department. After the gambling ship was built, he was in charge of managing the gambling ship. Apart from the daily maintenance, he just collected some information, and finally passed the information to the Safety Department.
"Tap.Tap...
Liu Feng and the others were taken secretly to a box. This box is located in the most secret place of the entire ship. It is usually closed and reserved for intelligence personnel to collect information.
The original design of the gambling boat has also left a hand, and the moso bamboo cut through the inner section is placed between the wooden boards to hide it, and the middle box is the center to monitor the various rooms and compartments.
Those who listened to the information were a few blind people who listened to distant sounds on the other side of the moso bamboo, just like the sound transmission between the bridge and the engine room on an earth ship. This type of bug mainly uses the resonance of the air to greatly enhance the sound. The reason why blind people are used is that their hearing is better, so as to ensure that the information they hear will not deviate too much.
"Your Majesty, is this the same as the monitor in Zuixiao Building?" An Li looked at the bamboo slips in surprise.
"Almost the same principle." Liu Feng smiled lightly.

"Have all the nobles boarded the ship?" Liu Feng asked lightly.
"Most of them have boarded the ship, but there is still one Marquis who has not boarded the ship." Gary said respectfully.
"Which Marquis?" Liu Feng said lightly.
"Marquis Constantine of Iron West City." Jia~Lihui reported.
"Tiexi City?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems to be Shirley's hometown." Mina said softly.
"I remember, let's talk about his situation." Liu Feng nodded and said.
"Not long after the gambling ship was built, the Marquis Constantine has been gambling on the ship, and has contacts with other nobles from time to time." Gary said the previously recorded information.
What the whole gambling boat is doing is some gambling. Liu Feng simplified the gambling methods of dice and poker on the other side of the earth, and turned it into an alien version of the casino. Dice and playing cards were also imitated by the scientific research department. The patterns on the playing cards were all orcs, humans, dwarves, and elves.
Then every time you want to board the gambling boat, you need conditions. For example, the boarding ticket costs ten silver coins, and the value of each bet cannot be less than thirty copper coins. The bet can not only be silver coins, gold coins, but also something of value.
"It seems that this Marquis is quite ambitious." Liu Feng nodded thoughtfully.
"And the bets are high every time." Gary continued.
"That's what I want." Liu Feng smiled lightly. One of the purposes of building this ship was to earn money from the nobles. Didn't the nobles who have no money knead at will?

After the door of the box opened, a person came in, saluted Liu Feng and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Constantine has already taken his seat in the third box."
Liu Feng nodded lightly, and led the girls to the moso bamboos marked with three numbers, ready to start listening.
At the same time, seven aristocrats gathered in Box No. 3, each of whom was a respectable veteran aristocrat, all around fifty years old.
They were not reconciled to having their territory and power weakened by Liu Feng. The more powerful the nobles are, the less reconciled they have been in power for too long.
"Lord Marquis Constantine, you are late today." Earl Owen smiled lightly.
"It's late." Marquis Constantine sat on the main seat with a sullen face.
"In the past, you were the fastest to come every time. Is there something wrong today?" Earl Owen asked suspiciously.
Every time the Marquis Constantine heard where the gambling boat was, he was the first to arrive.
"It's not the gang of idiots, I reprimanded them, so I'm late." Marquis Constantine said a little angrily.
"It's normal for your subordinates to be stupid, there's no need to be angry." Earl Owen picked up the wine on the table and drank it.
It's not my people who deserve my anger, it's Orville's gang that I'm angry with. "The Marquis of Constantine said in a deep voice.
"Is there something wrong with Orville's gang?" Earl Owen sat up straight after hearing the name.
Orville's gang are all horse thieves, robbing gold coins, wheat grains, etc. in some remote cities. There are more than 2,000 horse thieves in this group.
All of them were assembled by the seven nobles in the box, deliberately letting Orville and his gang start to disrupt the Han Dynasty.
Wherever the horse thieves went, they burned, killed and looted, and many small towns were destroyed because of the care of the horse thieves.
More than 2,000 horse thieves were dispatched together, with the support of nobles. Weapons and armor have been supplied, so it is even more handy to snatch gold coins and wheat.
"The gold coins they want to grab will be divided into seven and three." Marquis Constantine said coldly.
"I thought it was such a big deal, why don't we just divide it into 70/30 and give it to them." Earl Owen chuckled lightly.
"That's right. Originally, the money was obtained by robbing those common people. It's good that we can collect money without paying." Earl Randy also chuckled.
"It was originally for the purpose of embarrassing Liu Feng, so I just asked for gold coins for them." Earl Barton said in a deep voice.
Earl Randy and Earl Barton are also well-known big clans, and there are quite a few knights in their hands.
"When it comes to that Liu Feng, I am even angrier. How can we weaken our rights and take away so many of our territories." Marquis Constantine said angrily, and slammed the table several times.
"It caused us to lose most of our gold coin income, this Liu Feng really deserves to die."
Earl Owen also said angrily.
"Do you think our gang of horse thieves can raze Chang'an City now?" Earl Randy asked with murderous intent.
"No, not yet. We need to continue to expand the number of recruits. There are only more than 2,000 horse thieves. At most, we can only rob the small town." Earl Barton shook his head.
0. Ask for flowers-.....
He has seen the soldiers and weapons in Chang'an City, so he still has a certain idea of whether he can defeat Chang'an City.
"Hmph, what do you guys think when the number of recruits expands to 10,000 and the city is robbed first?" Marquis Constantine suggested.
