Chapter 31: A bleak start

"The turmoil in Guangnan shook the world, and the Qiang people refused to obey the indoctrination and used swords in vain! Quang Nam has been devastated and countless displaced people have been displaced and homeless! Let's look at the shanties outside the city, they don't even have a bite to eat, and now they can only live a miserable life......"

"Everyone is a child of the Great Song Dynasty, aren't you willing to help?"

"Now that the war in the northwest is tight, aren't you willing to contribute to the country?"

……

I don't know where Lin You hired a few loud voices, standing on the high platform and roaring for half an hour. It is nothing more than a slogan of supporting the army and loving the people and actively raising donations. But now, no one's life is easy, even if this Gangneung Mansion is prosperous and rich, but no one's money is blown by the wind, right?

Ordinary people are always realistic, are they willing to donate a million for the country? I must be willing, this is patriotism, this is loyalty, this is national righteousness! But is he willing to donate a cow for the court? That's not going to work, because he really has a cow.

At first, there were many people around the high platform to watch the excitement, but after hearing that it was for the homeless people to raise donations, even the onlookers who had finally gathered in one place also ate melons and dispersed.

It's not singing for a long time, but I want to take money out of my pocket! It's just horrible.

Lin Zhong saw that there were only three or two kittens left among the onlookers, and he was anxious. This welfare lottery business is not only a package ticket with Cai Jing, who is about to be promoted to Shangshu, but also pulls the son of the Xie Lin family into the shares, if there is anything missing......

"Young master, there are fewer and fewer onlookers, how can this welfare lottery ticket be sold? Otherwise, the old slave would tell them to stop and preach the nature of fundraising like this, which would be ......."

Lin He didn't care, but still smiled: "Uncle Zhong, you don't have to worry, these official articles must be done in the front, otherwise the name is not right, and there will be a lot of trouble in the back." ”

Seeing that Lin Zhong's face was still full of worry, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Uncle Zhong, can I still lie to you?" Just look at the expression on Fat Xie's face. ”

Lin Zhong looked sideways, Fat Xie was competing with a ball of glutinous rice bread fritters, eating so happily, licking the icing on the corner of his mouth while eating, well, this guy is a sweet-loving person. Lin is different, he himself likes the salty glutinous rice wrapped fritters with meat floss and soy sauce......

Lin Zhong saw that there was no one next to the fat man, so he slowly relaxed.

Fat Xie was naturally calm on his face, but he was beating a small drum in his heart. He is close to Lin He, which is the instruction of his father Xie Lin. That Xie Lin's old ministers of several dynasties, a generation of officials, are just a leopard in the snack street tube, and they have noticed the extraordinaryness of Lin He.

He had a son in his later years, and although he was strict with Xie Fang, he really loved this only son in his heart. Huan Hai has been up and down for decades, Xie Lin has long been disappointed in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, although Xie Fang's knowledge is good, and he is also clever, but his personality is bold and uninhibited, and he has the style of a father. If this kind of temperament enters the officialdom in the future, isn't it sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?

It just so happens that Xie Fang doesn't think very much of the fly camp dog in this officialdom, a fifteen-year-old boy, even if he is precocious, his biggest thought at this time is nothing more than eating delicious, having fun, and learning and learning.

But he didn't think about the future path, but Xie Lin had to plan the way forward for him. After all, he is already a seventy-year-old man, although his body is still quite strong, how many days can he live?

Just this month, if it weren't for Lin You's gift of penicillin, it was unknown whether he would have survived. This is the reason why he arranged for Xie Fang to be close to Lin You. Xie Lin, who has read countless people for decades, almost discovered Lin He's extraordinaryness by instinct.

In these years, it is easy to put the icing on the cake, and it is especially valuable to send charcoal in the snow. Lin Zhen died, and Lin and his mother and son were swept out of the house, which was a critical juncture. At this time, it won't cost much to let Xie Fang get close to Lin You, as for how much he will receive, the old man can't see it himself anyway, so he won't think about it anymore.

Xie Fang didn't know his father's considerations, but this welfare lottery was the first time that the old man let his son take charge of himself. In the process of the whole fucai operation,From the number of shares、The arrangement of the printing room、The deployment of manpower,The Xie family is directly under the orders of this young master who is just fifteen years old.

Anyone with a discerning eye in Xie Fuzhong can see that the old man is handing over shifts. Maybe it's because he's old, or maybe it's a bad illness in the middle of the year that makes the old man have to take precautions. In short, in the huge Xie family, Xie Fang is about to embark on a stage that has never been involved.

Fucai is his first fire, whether this fire can be burned, whether it burns vigorously or not, it is related to Xie Fang's prestige in the entire Xie family!

Xie Fatty, this is a light cloud, and he is simply covering up his uneasiness by eating! You know, this is the fourth glutinous rice bun fritters he has eaten, and he really can't eat it!

Well, but the sweet one is really delicious, and the salty one that Lin He is making is really a cult!

He didn't want to think about it, if Lin He didn't develop this delicacy, he wouldn't have to eat anything sweet and salty......

Just when the two of them complained about each other's food taste at the same time, the preaching on the stage was finally over.

After a few people retreated after reading the tirade, Lin You pushed Xie Fatman: "It's time for you to appear, go ahead." ”

Xie Fang patted his belly, casually threw the uneaten glutinous rice bun fritters to the side, and trembled and prepared to go on stage.

Lin He is calm, as a person in the future, he knows too well about the big killer of lottery. In the 21st century with advanced science and technology, the welfare lottery can have such a large volume, and even more than thirty percent of Chinese have more or less the habit of buying lottery tickets, which can be seen how powerful this consumer product is.

There is a gambler living in everyone's heart, whether it is a man or a woman, old or young, who has not lived a small dream of becoming rich overnight? Nowadays, ten pennies can buy an opportunity to get rich, can't these ancients be crazy about it?

Therefore, no matter how cold it was at the beginning, Lin He would not have the slightest fluctuation in his mood.

Xie Fang stood on the high platform, looking at the commercial street in front of him, and suddenly felt a little nervous. Why? The audience is so kittens, he stands on the stage and talks to the air, can he still be nervous? Nervous eggs!

Xie Fang was very dissatisfied with such an opening, in his imagination, as a famous minister of Jingchu, his first appearance on the stage should be in the spotlight, this situation is a bit too miserable.

So, he clung to his throat and shouted out in frustration.

"The welfare lottery is to appease the displaced people and raise funds, but the court can't let you pay for nothing, so there is a small game of lottery."

"Anyone who wants to donate can come and buy lottery tickets!"

The fat man pointed to the box on the high platform: "Ten cents, touch a lottery ticket from the box, and now scratch it open, each lottery ticket has a pattern on it, and each lottery ticket has a cash reward!" ”

Speaking of this, Xie Fang cleared his throat: "If you touch the tiger coupon, you will receive ten prizes!" ”

A few onlookers who were just leaning against the shadow of the high platform to escape the heat raised their heads in surprise when they heard this, and when they saw the lottery rules in black and white and the official seal stamped on it, their breath immediately became short.

At the same time, a handsome and calm middle-aged man with a domestic servant stood silently behind Lin He.

"Childe, are you sure?"
