Hearing that Xiao Qian was coming, Xiao Wanyu came out with a big belly, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the old man losing his temper. Vertex X 23 U S She smiled: "Grandpa, if you have something to say, don't make you angry." ”

Xiao Qian saw Xiao Wanyu and said nervously: "Wanyu, don't run around with a big belly." ”

Xiao Wanyu said: "It's okay, I just went out for a walk, and I was always bored in the room. ”

Seeing that Li You was also looking at herself, she said, "You talk, leave me alone, I'll sit and leave." As he spoke, he sat beside Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian turned his head and said to Li You: "Your Highness, you have read all the school-running plans formulated by the minister, and today I got it in the morning, and the household department said that there was not so much money, so let the number of schools be reduced by half, and as a result, the plan was not passed." ”

The old man was very enthusiastic about running a school, and in order to write a school plan, he was busy for half a month, and often stayed up late.

In order to comfort Xiao Qian, Li You pretended to be angry and said, "Gao Jingming, this guy is really picky. As the saying goes: talent-oriented, education first. You can't get any education funds if you don't get it.

White Tiger, you go and call this guy for me. ”

Gao Jingming's favorite thing is that His Royal Highness King Qi calls him, in his eyes, His Royal Highness King Qi is a cash cow, as long as he calls himself, there will be a lot of money in the treasury of the household department.

As soon as Gao Jingming saw the white tiger, he immediately became excited, and said, "Prepare a horse for me, I want to go to see His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

Baihu said: "This time I will not only call you, but also Lord Du." ”

As soon as Gao Jingming heard that Du Xinyuan, the household servant, was also called, he knew that His Royal Highness King Qin was going to make a big move this time.

Qi Wangfu.

Zhang Guigui came back from the Eastern Expeditionary Army and had two major gains, the first was to become a father and have a fat son, and the second was that he was now an earl because of his military exploits, which was higher than his two elder brothers. His current identity is the deputy director of the research institute and a guerrilla general on the fifth grade.

He is not interested in the industrial, commercial and technological things in the research institute, and Li You does not ask him to go to work on time and live freely.

At this time, he and his wife Du Mei came to the Qi Wangfu with their children, and met their father-in-law Du Xinyuan and Gao Jingming at the gate.

When Du Xinyuan saw his chubby grandson, he was so happy that he stretched out his finger to touch his face. The fat boy stretched out his fleshy little hand, grabbed his fingers and stuffed them into his mouth.

Du Mei hurriedly pulled away his little hand and said to his father in disgust: "Look at you, you don't wash your hands, it's dirty." ”

Du Xinyuan didn't think about it, and smiled happily. He said to Zhang Guigui: "Precious, I specially cleaned up the house for you, you and Xiaomei should bring the children to live for a few days." ”

"Yes, father-in-law, I'll be there in a few days." Zhang Guigui said. He asked, "Father-in-law, Lord Gao, are you talking to Your Highness about things?" ”

Du Xinyuan said: "Yes, His Highness called us here. ”

Zhang Guigui knew that if they wanted to talk about things, they would definitely talk for a long time, and it was boring for him to go, so he said: "Father-in-law, Master Gao, you are busy, Xiaomei and I will not go in." Please tell Your Highness that I will come back at lunch. After that, I went shopping with Du Mei.

Gao Jingming and Du Xinyuan said as they walked: "Lord Du, this son-in-law of yours is not simple, he is less than 20 years old, and he is already an earl by virtue of his military exploits." ”

Du Xinyuan said beautifully: "When I was 43 years old, I became an earl, and I followed His Royal Highness King Qi, and my progress is fast." ”

Gao Jingming said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is a god, I didn't say it." My son will graduate next year, and I will let him work with His Highness. ”

When they came to the guest room and saw that Xiao Qian was also there, the two of them were in a good mood and were hit a little hard. They thought it was because Xiao Qian complained to His Royal Highness King Qi that they were allowed to come.

Gao Jingming took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, Lord Xiao, it's not that I don't support the project of the Ministry of Education, but that so many new schools are being built at the same time, and the household department really can't come up with so much money." ”

Xiao Qian said dissatisfiedly: "You don't have the money to run a school, so you can get so much money by renovating the imperial city?" ”

Not long ago, Li Shimin saw that the offices of various ministries of the imperial court had not been repaired for more than ten years, so he ordered the household department to pay for the renovation by the Ministry of Industry.

Li You shook his head secretly, Old Man Xiao is indeed not round enough. Renovating the offices of various ministries and improving office conditions is a matter that everyone supports, but the matter of running schools is only the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, which is more likely to get the support of ministers? When he spreads this, he will offend many people.

It seems that he was prescient in letting the old man come down from the position of servant.

Li You said: "Lord Xiao, Lord Gao, Lord Du, I came to you today, there are a few things, the first is to invest in running a school, this matter is very important, it is related to the future of Datang, and it must be supported."

However, the household department also has the difficulties of the household department, and I have a solution to it, so I will discuss it with you. ”

"What's the solution?" Xiao Qian and the other three asked together.

Li You said, "Please wait a minute. ”

He walked over to the table, picked up a few pieces of paper, tore them into small pieces, wrote some numbers on them, and folded them straight into 10 small squares.

He walked back, spread out the small squares in his hand on the table, pointed to them, and said, "Please pick up three of each." "He picked one up himself.

Xiao Qian saw that "10 Wen Yuan" was written on the outside of the small square, opened the three small squares in his hand, and saw that they were written on them: "Thank you for supporting the cause of education", "Congratulations on winning the lottery, 10 Wen Qian".

After everyone opened it, they saw that there were a total of eight "Thank you for supporting the cause of education", one "Congratulations on winning the lottery, 10 yuan", and one "Congratulations on winning the lottery, 50 yuan".

Gao Jingming's brain turned fast, he immediately understood, and said, "Isn't this just drawing lots?" Oops, 10 wen yuan a, the total income is 100 wen yuan, and the expenditure is 60 wen yuan, you can earn 40 wen yuan. ”

Li You said: "Almost. This is called the lottery, and it was first invented by the ancient Romans. ”

Ancient Rome was a citizen-oriented social system that emphasized equal opportunities and fair competition. In all aspects of social life, the method of drawing lots is adopted. For example, Pompeii, in order to rectify the Roman army defeated by Spartacus, needed to punish those who fled, and because there were too many soldiers who fled, he let the fleeing soldiers draw lots, and one out of every ten soldiers caught the word "death" and was hanged. As a result, in the ensuing battle, the number of Roman soldiers who fled was greatly reduced.

The prosperity of the lottery only began in modern times,In order to make everyone better accept,Li You started from ancient times,And then the various rules of the lottery issuance method gave them popular science.

Gao Jingming and Du Xinyuan were very excited, Gao Jingming said: "Your Highness, the minister understands, you are making an analogy, it can be like this, a lottery ticket is 2 yuan, the investment is less, and the jackpot is hundreds, thousands or even thousands, and the attraction is great." It's sure to attract a lot of people to participate. ”

Du Xinyuan said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, now, you don't have to worry about the money for running the school." ”

Xiao Qian muttered a little in his heart, he felt that these people were a little uncomfortable using this method to circle money. However, he was also very happy, no matter where he got the money, as long as he could let him run the school, he would have no opinion.

After research, according to the printing technology, sealing means, transportation conditions, etc., it was decided to issue instant welfare lottery tickets:

The return rate shall not be less than 65%; The proportion of the education fund is 20%, of which: 10% is handed over to the household department, and 10% is retained by each sales unit; The proportion of the issuance fee is higher than 15%, of which: 2.85% is paid to the household department, 2.15% is retained by the state government and below, and 10% is paid to the sales station.

It was decided that from the first of next month, the education lottery will be piloted in the Chang'an area first. It will be officially implemented nationwide from January 1 next year.

After negotiating this issue, Li You began to be hungry, and Zhang Guigui was already waiting outside for dinner.

Li You said: "The people take food as the sky, and eat first. After eating, there is one more important matter to discuss with you. ”
