Chapter 32 Forcing the Palace Cai Jing

The person who came was naturally Cai Jing.

Lord Cai will leave for Kaifeng next month, and he will go to Shangshu with great ambition, but before that, he cares most about this welfare lottery

Although the method of cash-for-work has already received the approval of the two prime ministers, Changton Zengbu, and is building momentum in the DPRK and China to promote it as a regular practice throughout the country, the core problems are still being resolved.

The imperial court was short of money. The Qiang rebellion in Quang Nam has been put down, but the problem of fugitives has not been resolved for a long time, and the situation is still stable, but no one knows what kind of situation will evolve into the future. You must know that the homeless people are unemployed and have no worries, and they have always been the main target of the rebels to win over and bewitch. Under such circumstances, once someone has ill intentions and incites the people's hearts, it is easy to turn into a beacon of fire for thousands of miles and turn against the flag everywhere.

Cai Jing knew that this was an opportunity, and he wanted to seize it. To seize the opportunity, you must have money and food. Lin Yu said something to Cai Jing's heart. As long as the displaced people are stable, then Cai Jing's credit will not be able to run.

As long as there is work to do, the displaced people have a stable heart, have food and drink, have a family and a job, such a displaced person is still called a displaced person? How different can it be from a hired worker in the city? If such a person wants to bewitch and make trouble, it will be too difficult.

The common people are bitter, but the common people are also the easiest to satisfy, as long as they can live, who cares who sits in this world? Who wants to rebel with their head pinned to their belt?

Of course, they didn't know that in the shanty where Lin He went to distribute medicine, there lived a big Buddha of the Ming Sect's Bright Left Envoy, and if they knew, it was not clear whether they could continue to hold such confidence.

It's not just Cai Jing who is worried, but this welfare lottery system is Lin He's first spying on the general environment of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is extremely important with the first step, which determines the direction of every step he takes in the future, and Lin You also attaches great importance to it.

Seeing Cai Jingweifu coming to investigate, Lin He didn't dare to slack off: "Lord Cai, why are you here?" Is this not worrying about Lin? ”

Of course, Cai Jing knew that Lin You was joking, and he didn't care, he just twisted his beard and asked: "Lin Gongzi's words are serious, this official is just curious, what does this Lin Gongzi's secret technique of making money look like in his mouth, now that he looks at it, the old man thinks that this seems to be an alternative kind of Guan Pu?" ”

What a character Cai Jing is, just a glance at it, and after listening to the rules for a while, he roughly understood that Lin He was playing a variant of Guan Pu.

You must know that Lin He's implementation of this welfare lottery is not an impulsive thing done by patting his head, but a mature plan thrown out after careful analysis of the information that he has led for thousands of years.

The Song people were probably the most gambling group in all Chinese dynasties. At this time, the folk of the Song Dynasty, all kinds of gambling games were popular, and the official not only did not prohibit them, but from the emperor to the officials, they were very keen on gambling, and also thought that this was a very elegant and interesting thing.

When gambling, the winner must not get carried away, the loser is not depressed, at this time, people will gamble as a character This sentence is extremely important.

Among the folk gambling games, the most popular and popular game for the poor is Guan Pu.

The merchant takes out a piece of goods and roughly stipulates a total amount, which is equivalent to the price of the goods. Then divide these total into small portions, let everyone buy, as long as the person who buys the share can participate in gambling, or throw copper plate dice, or other methods, in short, the one who wins the bet can take the product.

This kind of game not only allows merchants to sell goods and earn enough popularity, but also for the player who buys the goods last, it is also a kind of price reduction, so that some poor people who are not rich in their pockets can have the opportunity to get high-priced goods at a very small price by shutting down.

Of course, this depends on your luck first.

This kind of game was extremely popular, and at first it was only popular in Bianliang, but it soon became popular all over the country. Nowadays, no matter where you are in the Great Song Dynasty, if you haven't played the trick of Guan Pu, it is really a soil bun, and no one is willing to take care of you.

It is precisely because of the prosperity of gambling in the Song Dynasty that there is a trend of the whole people in Las Vegas, and Lin He dared to launch a big killer such as the welfare lottery. Of course, only the Song Dynasty, which was tolerant of merchants and gambled, could tolerate this big killing weapon.

If Lin He dared to play the lottery in the Qin and Han dynasties, he was arrested in minutes for the crime of confusing the public with evil words, and then the five horses were divided into corpses, cannon branding, and all kinds of torture greetings.

Seeing Cai Jing asking this, Lin He nodded and said: "It's indeed similar to the play of Guan Pu, but we are not for commodities, but for fundraising, and all reward redemptions are settled in cash, which is more impactful than that small physical commodity." ”

Cai Jing touched his beard and was silent for a while: "I have to obey Lin Gongzi's high moves, I heard that Lin Gongzi has a master?" But Childe's stunt passed down from his master? ”

Lin He looked at the box on the stage and chuckled: "What kind of stunt is this?" It's just to test the waters for adults and the court, and there will be a better way in the future. ”

Cai Jing nodded, and said enviously: "Childe's master...... Great talent, the rules of this game are simple but contain deep meaning, the old man is also quite moved after reading it, if it weren't for this official hosting, this official also wants to try it on stage. ”

"You'd like to try it too?"

Lin He rolled his eyes and smiled maliciously: "Since Lord Cai is here, why don't you want to try?" ”

Cai Jing was taken aback: "This, isn't this official suspected of fraud?" It's not going to work, it's absolutely not going to work! ”

Lin Yu chuckled and said, "Isn't Lord Cai too cold? Isn't this just right, isn't your popularity coming? And, who says you have to cheat when you play? The first prize is so small, if you go up and don't win the lottery, won't it be over? Even Lord Cai didn't win the lottery on stage, doesn't this just show how fair this lottery is? Lord Cai, for the sake of the overall situation of our welfare lottery, I have to sacrifice you! ”

Cai Jing was so shocked that he pulled off his beard, what did Lin You say to let him try, isn't this using his Cai Jing's official position to pick a signboard for the welfare lottery?

This is going to kill him. This Lord Cai, who is from the left and right, originally had a good idea, and no one should be offended. Now because of the outbreak of the epidemic, he has solved the attention of the old and new parties; He also wrote to Prime Minister Zhang Dan, proposing that the displaced people in the disaster area should no longer form an army on the spot, but should use work for relief. This piece is said to have won Zhang's appreciation, and Cai Jing was even more complacent about his decision.

As for the law of the welfare lottery, one is to relieve the displaced people from the burden of the imperial court; second, for Cai Jing's future development, he has a huge financial resource; Sancai is his turn for his own political achievements.

After all, the matter of the displaced people has been decided, and if one more welfare lottery comes out at this time, he will not get more benefits.

Therefore, the success of this welfare lottery is the icing on the cake, and the failure is harmless. It just so happened that Lin He had an unreliable father, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were about to offend all of them. Isn't such a person just the best candidate to take the blame?

But now he wants to come to power,That is to tie his official reputation and fucai together,After all, the meaning of the official standing on the platform in person,No matter how you shirk it,It can't be pushed away。

How could he be willing to do such a thing?

Lord Cai looked at Lin He in front of him, squinting his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed inside.
