Chapter 143
"Xiang'er, did you read that correctly?" Tang Yu said in shock.
Xiang'er nodded solemnly: "Your Highness, how could Xiang'er lie? If you don't believe it, your Highness can go out of the palace with Xiang'er to have a look!"
"Let's go and take a look!" Tang Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks.
He knows that Mahjong is really addictive to play. As long as Mahjong is successfully promoted, the benefits will definitely be long-lasting.
"I'm crazy, I'm crazy again!"
"Sorry guys, I touched myself!"
"Tsk tsk! Three guys, I'm going to light up the cannon and leave!"
Under the leadership of Xiang'er, Tang Yu quickly came to the mahjong parlor closest to the palace. He saw that the mahjong parlor was so crowded that he couldn't even squeeze in.
Outside the mahjong hall, there was a dense crowd. Although they could not experience it for the time being, they wanted to enter the mahjong hall to watch the game.
"It exploded! It really exploded!" Tang Yu was shocked.

He knew that mahjong would definitely become popular in Datang, but he never expected that in just one morning, the mahjong parlor would become so popular.
Xiang'er praised: "The main reason is that His Highness the Crown Prince was extremely clever and invented the entertainment method of mahjong!"
"Xiang'er, remember, this matter must be kept secret. Don't tell others that I invented mahjong. Do you understand?" Tang Yu explained.
Xiang'er nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I understand!"
"Very good!"
After returning to the East Palace, Tang Yu almost jumped up with excitement.
The success of "The Deer and the Cauldron" was beyond Tang Yu's expectation, but he really didn't expect that mahjong parlors would become so popular in the capital so quickly.
Currently, his opponents, the eldest prince Tang Long and the third prince Tang Shuheng, have many gang members, but he is the only one who is a polished commander.
In Tang Yu's eyes, money can make all the difference. As long as he gives these officials enough benefits, he can still poach them.
One million taels of silver cannot be mined, right?
good! Then I will smash two million taels. If two million taels are not enough, then I will smash it with three million taels until it breaks.
However, what surprised Tang Yu even more was that the mahjong parlor was still popular until late at night, and the number of people who wanted to experience mahjong not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
At this time, Ning Wan'er returned to the East Palace dripping with sweat. When she saw Tang Yu, she asked: "You already know the news about the popularity of the mahjong parlor, right?"
"Yeah! Got it, thank you for your hard work, Wan'er!" Tang Yu said with a smile.
"What? More than 30 mahjong parlors will be opened tomorrow?" Tang Yu was shocked.
"Three hundred? That's a lot!" Tang Yu exclaimed.
There are many people in the Tang Dynasty. If he can open 300 mahjong parlors in the capital and then chain them to other counties, once the chain is completed, he will have thousands of mahjong parlors under his name.
Thinking of thousands of mahjong parlors making profits at the same time, Tang Yu couldn't even imagine the huge numbers.
Ning Wan'er said excitedly: "That's right! Once the three hundred mahjong parlors start charging, it will be a money grab! And I decided that the mahjong parlors will be divided into three levels, namely upper, middle and lower. The upper-class mahjong parlors specialize in serving the rich and powerful. The middle-level mahjong parlors only serve the petty bourgeoisie, while the lower-level mahjong parlors are open to ordinary people!”
"What Wan'er said is true!"
Tang Yu agreed: "If the powerful stay with a group of ordinary people every day, conflicts will definitely occur over time. By the way, Wan'er, have you ever thought about setting up a membership system?"
"Membership system? What is a membership system?" Ning Wan'er asked curiously.
Tang Yu chuckled: "It's VIP! To put it bluntly, it's just recharging the card..."
He knew that the ancients basically did business at a fixed price and had almost no membership system. After all, in ancient times, chain-operated old stores were too rare, so they never thought about the membership system.
"You are indeed a profiteer!"
