Allusions to spades a

65438+At the beginning of the 8th century, English people all liked to play poker. The British government found this a good opportunity to collect taxes, so it imposed a "poker tax" on poker manufacturers. The collection method is interesting: Spades A are printed by the government and then sold to a manufacturer at a high price.

Of course, manufacturers are not fools, so they try their best to evade taxes and forge the government's "tax A".

Originally, the spade A used by the government for tax collection was as big as other aces. Later, in order to prevent fraud, it was only designed to be more complicated, and the result became bigger and bigger, bigger than other aces.
