Gambling on jade was a legal affair, devised by the Jade and Stone Chamber of Commerce as a grand event. It not only brought festivity to Yulin, but also propelled the economy of the prefectural city. This economic boost made it impossible for the Government Office not to support the event, since the more merchants and renowned individuals that came, the busier the city got, and the more prosperous the trade became.
Thus, the success of the first day's jade gambling, with its high transaction rate, buzzed through the air. With the first day's success, the second day's gambling began with even more people pouring into the Chamber of Commerce than yesterday, including not just merchants but also some common folks. The Government Office had no choice but to deploy Yamen Runners and soldiers to maintain order.
