Chapter 217: Selling Lottery Tickets (This Book Has Been Fattened)
"Kid naturally has a way!" Yang Ming smiled mysteriously and said to Huang Jin: "Father-in-law Huang, I have to bother you to help the kid get a piece of paper!" ”
With paper, it is natural to need pen and ink, fortunately, there is no shortage of people in the palace, a little eunuch quickly took the pen and ink, Yang Ming slowly found a place to cut the paper into several equal parts according to the number of people in the hall, and then took the brush and wrote on it.

Because of the help of the little eunuch, Yang Ming quickly completed the preparations.
"Yang Ming, what are you?" Jiajing was very curious, looked at the paper cards that Yang Ming had prepared and folded them into small squares and said with a smile: "Could it be that you just want to use these cards to make those rich people pay you obediently?" ”
He has long admired Yang Ming's means of making money, if it weren't for the difference in identity, he even felt that he and Yang Ming should be a pair of friends, at least he saw his own shadow from Yang Ming's body, but Yang Ming's talent lies in the way of being a minister, and he himself is in the way of a king.
Yang Ming held the paper card in his hand and said to Jiajing with a smile: "Weichen just wants to play a game with everyone!" ”
After speaking, he took the paper card in his hand and spread it out: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are fourteen cards here for the boy, and there are fourteen of us here, and one of the cards is the first prize, and the bonus is eight taels of silver, and the second prize is two, and the bonus is one or two silver, and you only need to take out one or two pieces of silver to buy one here, how about it?" ”
"One or two Bo eight taels, the probability of one in fourteen, of which the first prize is eight taels and the second prize is two taels, a total of only ten taels of silver!" Jiang Mian smiled: "Yang Ming, your ability to make money is really a bit ..... Four taels of silver just went into your pocket! However, is this method still an affair with gambling, and is it a little inappropriate to let the dynasty implement it? ”
"That's why we call it the Love Lottery, and the profits earned will be used for the construction of the dynasty, civilian medical care, disaster relief, and military comfort! Buying a lottery ticket is a love, buy a lottery ticket our city wall can have one more brick and tile, and the victims can eat one more bite of gruel! Yang Ming said: "In this way, even if it is gambling, it is noble, compared to those gambling houses in the market, how can it be generalized?" ”
"Yes! You've got your point! Yang Yanhe spoke, "But your two pieces of silver are naturally harmless for us, but for the people, one or two pieces of silver is not a small amount, although winning the first prize is eight times as much, but according to the old man's opinion, there should not be many people who buy it." What's more, those rich families won't take this mere eight taels of silver in their eyes, so according to the old man, Yang Ming, if you want to earn six things, I'm afraid you can't do it! ”
As Yang Yanhe said, the average person's livelihood for a family of five is only three or four taels of silver a year, of course, this refers to the poorest family. But there is no doubt that such a family accounts for more than seventy percent of the entire Ming Dynasty, try to ask such a family who would use two or three months of silver money to buy lottery tickets? Although it is a love offering, it is impossible for anyone to give love without eating.
Several bigwigs think that Yang Ming makes a little money with this method, but it is still not enough to meet the needs of the six departments.
"Your Majesty, Ladies and Gentlemen!" Yang Ming arched his hand to everyone and explained: "A tael of silver is just a metaphor!" And the bonuses are also set too low. Since ancient times, if there is a waist wrapped around 100,000 pieces of cranes to ride to Yangzhou, according to the boy, it is more appropriate to set this first prize to 200,000 yuan! And a lottery ticket does not need a tael of silver, I think ten is enough, but not one person, but anyone who wants to give love to the good people can buy unlimitedly, of course, we also have to tell them to do what they can! The most important thing is that before acting, the kid thinks that the yamen of the local state capitals should do something, such as sealing down the gambling houses or letting them rest for a while! ”
"It's just that this lottery printing is a troublesome thing!" Yang Ming looked at Yang Yanhe and said: "The lottery is actually very simple, so it is very easy to forge, and it is necessary to take precautions." You must know that this is a poly without capital, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no one and something, and when this silver reaches a certain amount, hehe! ”
"As long as someone reaches out his hand, the old man doesn't mind chopping his hand off!" Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has not spoken, not that he doesn't want to say it, but as a judicial organ, he wants money and is a little weak-hearted, after all, their department is a little unique, one has no extra money, and the second is not very popular, and the imperial history yamen is almost an errand that offends people. If you let them do the rest, maybe they are not professional, but when it comes to sentencing, they can give you one by one from the beginning to the end and then from the end to the end!
Zhang Zilin gritted his teeth with a grim face and said: "The troubled times should be a heavy code!" Although our dynasty is not in troubled times, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued over the years, and it should be the case for the future to consider this forgery! ”
"Yes!" Jiading nodded, which was regarded as agreeing with Zhang Zilin's statement.
The other bigwigs did not object, and if they wanted to fight the idea of the imperial court's silver, they had to spend their lives!
The old man also thinks it is feasible. It's just that this lottery ticket needs to be printed by a special person to strictly control the quantity, and the sale and manufacturing need to be consistent! Yang Yanhe added: "According to the old man, it is most appropriate to hand over the printing to the Ministry of Rites, and the style and pattern of the lottery also need to be considered!" ”
Yang Ming's lottery ticket really can't be seen, if it is not a good word to fill in a few points of color, it is almost a blank piece of paper to write a few big words. Therefore, it is undoubtedly more pleasing to the eye to make some flowers and birds on the lottery ticket, and according to Yang Ming, this is how to sell it, at least when people pay money, they will not feel that they are buying a useless piece of waste paper.
Mao Ji said again: "There is also Yang Ming's sentence that can be added!" Love lottery, contribute to the Ming Dynasty! Buy one note to contribute bricks to the city defense, buy two notes to repair bridges and roads for the national dynasty......."
The matter was settled,Then Yang Ming could only watch a group of bigwigs discuss how to implement the careful discussion from the location of the color to the sales personnel, and the seriousness simply made Yang Ming smacked.
I have to admit that these old ministers who have been in power for decades do think about Zhou Xiang. Originally, he thought that auditing was an extremely boring thing, but now Yang Ming heard some flavors.
It is not the meaning of teaching Yang Ming to discuss without avoiding him, this is the experience of governance! It wasn't until sunset and dusk that the kings and ministers were hungry and found that everyone hadn't eaten yet.....
Jiajing was actually studying, and seeing that the discussion was at a critical point, Huang Jin was busy arranging dinner, and several old ministers did not shirk it, and they were naturally happy to go to get the emperor's banquet.
Yang Ming had already been to the palace once, but he was not familiar with the road section, so he followed Jiajing under the escort of a group of guards, and then came to the Palace of Heart Cultivation.
Since he is the emperor, he also has a special taste for this meal!
Meals cannot be called meals but must be called "meals", meals are called "meals", meals are called "passing meals", and kitchens are called "imperial dining rooms".
Generally speaking, there is no fixed time for the emperor to eat, it is completely up to him!
"Zhong Aiqing has worked hard and wasted food for national affairs, it is really embarrassing for me, if the whole country and the dynasty are like you, why worry about my Ming Dynasty?" Jiajing took the lead in entering the Dongnuan Pavilion, sat on the main seat, and raised his hand to Huang Jin: "Sit!" ”
So immediately, a group of little eunuchs began to set up tables and chairs for a few people, although they were ordered to start building, but these eunuchs were like walking together, but only a few breaths of effort, thirteen tables and chairs have been built, and the dishes and chopsticks have been placed on them.
The East Warm Pavilion is not small, it is just a place for the emperor to eat alone, Yang Ming carefully looked at this luxurious huge living room that can not be seen even if he gives money in later generations, but the carved railing and jade masonry are not stable, but it looks a little dilapidated.
Among those present, he had the lowest official position, and the youngest was naturally arranged to sit at the end, with his left body leaning against the pavilion door, and there was a pillar behind him, but this was also good, in front of Jiajing, he was really embarrassed to eat and drink, and finally had the opportunity to see the legendary imperial meal, of course, he tasted it.
You must know that in later generations, even if you open a high-end hotel, there is no sign that does not play a dozen imperial dining rooms, such as Beijing's royal cuisine, Tan's cuisine, and the eighteen unique imperial dining rooms..... I haven't tried it, but the reputation is deafening, Yang Ming feels that today is worth it, and it is really exciting to be able to mix the imperial meal after working for most of the day.
However, the fly in the ointment is that there is no Manchu and Han full seats, of course, this is also to think about, how can this Ming Dynasty eat that thing? Not to mention whether anyone has made it, but the group of pig-tailed savages is estimated to still raise eagles in the black water!
"Pass the meal!" Jiajing is also very rare to dine with the courtiers, today he is actually in a very good mood, a rare harmony between the court and the court, whether it is the monarch or the party struggle seems to have completely disappeared, this feeling makes him can't help but be happy.
There is a way that brothers work together, and its benefits are golden! The three provinces and six departments are brothers, and in his opinion, as long as the party struggle is abandoned, and the suspicion of the monarch and the minister is abandoned, then the real prosperity is not far away.
Huang Jin tore away his unique voice and commanded outside the hall, and the little eunuch in front of him immediately said to the eunuch guarding the palace of nourishing hearts, "Pass the meal!" The eunuch in the palace passed this word to the eunuch who was standing outside the door of Yangxin, and then he passed it to the eunuch waiting in the imperial dining room on Xichang Street, and for a time the sound of the meal was like a wave・・・・・・ so it was transmitted into the imperial dining room.
The echo had not yet disappeared, and a procession of dowry people walked out of the imperial dining room.
This is a team composed of dozens of neatly dressed eunuchs, carrying seven large and small dining tables, holding dozens of vermilion lacquer boxes painted with golden dragons, and coming straight to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart.
Entering the Ming Palace, he was taken over by the little eunuch who put on his sleeve, and gathered the dining table three feet in front of Jiajing to form a huge dining table, which was full of dazzling eyes, although it was not the legendary rare birds and mountain wonders, but it still blinded Yang Ming's 24K pure gold eyes.
There are 28 dishes, as well as soups and snacks..... Yang Ming couldn't help but look at Jiajing, who was sitting in the middle of the warm pavilion, and didn't see how big the connotation of this master's belly was, could he eat so many things alone?
