For the next three days, Wu Jin stayed in the printing hall almost every day, and the printing of lottery tickets was the most critical part, and he was not at ease, so he had to be the supervisor himself.

Seeing with his own eyes, he also had to admire the development of the printing industry in this era, although there was no laser phototypesetting and assembly line printing in later generations, but they used water power, the ingenious design of various printing machines, the exquisite printing, and the fast efficiency, so that Wu Jin constantly had an illusion, did he return to the nineteenth century in later generations?

Strictly speaking, he is not a businessman, he is a teacher in the true sense, and he is responsible for spreading knowledge, he opened a bookstore and set up a printing house, all in order to let more people read and reason, he is like a missionary in the West in later generations, but he is not spreading the voice of God, but the way of Confucius and Mencius.

The only thing that makes Wu Jin a little regretful is that these days, that Nine Heavens girl has never come.....

In addition to staying in the printing house, Wu Jin also went to check the place, the first day of the lottery, he decided to choose the small school field near the East City Gate, not far from the three prosperous places of Weiyang County, Baxian Bridge, close to the City God Temple, which is also a civilian settlement area in Huaiyang City, densely populated, and close to the dock, where there are more than 100,000 dock workers, he decided to open here for two days in a row, as for the third day, he had other considerations.

The fifth uncle Huang Fugui was not idle, in the past three days, his legs have been running thin, Zhang Luo, preparing tables and chairs, everyone concentrated on training and drills, the most amazing thing for Wu Jin is that he only said that he needed to publicize in advance when planning, Huang Fugui understood, he also found a printing hall, printed tens of thousands of leaflets, and distributed them in Huaiyang County.

'Overnight prosperity is no longer a dream!' On the seventh day of the fourth month, gather at the Chengdong Campus .....

'God-given opportunity, money in hand! ＇

'For fifty went, you can take away a thousand taels of silver.' ’

．．．．．．

All kinds of highly inflammatory advertisements are widely circulated in Weiyang City, which is like the superstar concerts of later generations.

The exciting moment has finally arrived.

The sky is far from dawn, at the fourth watch, Huang Fugui led more than 100 people to enter and prepare, Wu Jin is the proprietor of the background, he does not show up, everything is taken care of by Huang Fugui.

The tables and chairs were set up last night, and a large circle was enclosed with a wide and heavy wooden table, in front of each table sat a person selling lottery tickets, and a large wooden platform two feet high was built in the open space in the middle of the circle, which was where the master of ceremonies presented the award.

In addition, a large sign was erected, considering that many people are illiterate, and the most concise graphics were used to illustrate the rules, five deer is a grand prize, and the tattoo is a thousand taels of silver; The three-headed deer is the second prize, with three hundred taels of silver; Two deer is the third prize, one hundred taels of silver; and Feiyan is a fourth prize, ten taels of silver; Plum blossoms are five prizes, one or two silver; There are also six prizes and 100 articles; Seven prizes and fifty essays.

Of course, at most a smiling face, there is a sentence next to it, 'one more time', the price of the lottery ticket is a silver horn, that is, fifty dollars, not expensive, in Weiyang County, that is, the price of eating a bowl of braised noodles, but if 200,000 can be sold, gather sand into a tower, that is 10,000 taels of silver, deduct the cost of 4,000 taels of silver they spent before and after, this gambling can net 6,000 taels.

The sky finally dawned, and although Wu Jin knew that there would be no fewer people coming today, the desire of the Weiyang people to make a fortune overnight still caught Wu Jin by surprise.

As soon as the morning dawned, after freshening up, the people who had finished breakfast went out, the crowd was surging from all directions, tens of thousands of people crowded the nearby streets, even the small school field itself was crowded, if it were not for the desperate efforts of more than 100 dart men to maintain order, those wooden tables would not have been able to stop the crowd at all.

At first, it was mostly to watch the excitement, but soon, a dock worker was lucky enough to win a three-prize of two deer, one hundred taels of silver.

The winning worker was led to a high platform and held up ten ingots of silver with white flowers, and his face, which was flushed with excitement, was so excited that he couldn't speak, and countless people cast envious glances at him.

The cries and laughter, the stamping of countless people, all merge into a great noise, a great uproar, and from time to time, this noise, this noise, with the roundabout, confusion, or rotation of the flow of people rushing to the central round table, is more and more deafening.

The emcee Luo Xiucai shouted hoarsely on the stage: "Have you seen it, he only used a hundred yuan, a hundred yuan, and he earned a thousand times, a hundred taels of silver..... Opportunity! A chance to make a fortune! What are you waiting for? Buy it now! The grand prize of one thousand taels of silver is yours and yours! Do you see a thousand taels of silver beckoning to you? ”

One hundred ingots, which is a thousand taels of grand prizes, are placed on the top of the high platform, like a huge night navigation light, attracting everyone's envy.

Under the temptation of white flowers and silver and the instigation of Luo Xiucai's tongue and lotus, more and more people began to pay out of their pockets.

"I'm in! I'm in! ”

A man was like Fan Jinzhong, jumping with his feet and shouting: "Ten taels of silver!" ”

He almost climbed in on the head of the man, and fainted with joy.

"Hit! Hit! I won the second prize of 500 taels of silver! ”

Another man rushed to the high platform, and the master of ceremonies, Luo Xiucai, raised his hand high and shouted: "Have you seen it, five hundred taels of silver!" This benevolent brother won five hundred pieces of silver for only fifty cents. ”

The crowd went even crazier......

Wu Jin sat on a stone at the back, his face showed a smug smile, the start was very good, Weiyang people accepted the lottery quickly, greatly surprised him, he couldn't help but think of the madness of people in later generations to touch the lottery, it seems that the psychology of making a fortune is in the same vein.

He has also participated in the planning of several public gambling in later life, and knows the mystery, which requires a lot of skills, such as the arrangement of prizes, a little more on the first day, the jackpot must be opened on the last day, and the jackpot must be real and traceable, and people will always pay attention to the jackpot.

So some cats can only be placed on secondary awards, such as the second prize of five hundred taels of silver just now, and it is necessary to use continuous lottery to stimulate people to make a fortune, Wu Jin smiled bitterly, compared with the gambling of later generations, he is already very kind.

He has a lottery ticket in his hand, which he bought for fifty cents, the lottery ticket is beautifully printed, except that it is not color, and there is no difference from later generations, there is a number of Arabic numerals on it, and the numbers above one hundred taels of silver are recorded, which is to prevent someone from counterfeiting.

At the bottom of the lottery ticket is a white frame, which is coated with a thin layer of lead powder, Wu Jin holds up the lottery ticket to the sun and looks through it, and he can't see the graphics inside, everything is flawless.

He gently scraped the lead powder with his fingernails, and the lead powder puff fell, and Wu Jin showed a smile on his face, and inside were three plum blossoms, which were six prizes and one hundred yuan.

Good luck!

He looked at the prize redemption office on the other side, there was already a long queue there, it was the quick prize office below the fifth prize, there were too many people, Wu Jin casually gave the prize ticket to an old woman who was cleaning up the waste lottery tickets all over the ground, "I'll give it to you, a prize of one hundred wen." ”

He smiled, turned and walked away.

The old woman looked at his back stunned with a lottery ticket, and said to herself: "Why can he pick it up, but I can't?" ”

．．．．．．．．

In the afternoon, the gambling arrived, and tens of thousands of dock workers poured into the East City Gate, and the crowd was turbulent, constantly pouring into the small school field, like a waterfall pouring into a lake.

The grand prize has not been opened, but the second prize has been opened three, at this time, the sweaty, oily Huang Fugui finally found Wu Jin, his face was full of excitement, his eyes were full of admiration for Wu Jin, this nephew is amazing! The Huangfu family has not produced such a talent for a hundred years, no wonder his father is willing to borrow 5,000 taels of silver, and his father's vision is old and spicy, and he is even higher than him.

But he came to Wujin but there was a worry, 100,000 lottery tickets have been sold, according to this trend, at least 150,000 lottery tickets will be sold today, there are still two days, it may not be enough.

Wujin immediately made a decision and printed another 100,000 lottery tickets.

．．．．．．．．

As night fell, the crowd at the school floor gradually dispersed, and the first day of gambling finally ended, with a total of 153,000 tickets sold, which was a great success.

Everyone was exhausted, their voices were hoarse, and they couldn't speak, Huang Fugui sent the money to Baifu Qianzhuang, and Wu Jin gave each person a red envelope of five taels of silver, which was regarded as the owner's intention to the guy.

At this time, the emcee Luo Xiucai pulled Wu Jin and had something to say to him.

Luo Xiucai is about forty years old this year, tall and thin, with a small eagle hook nose on his face, giving people a sense of shrewdness and a bit of deceit, but he is a good person and very dedicated.

"Uncle Luo, what's wrong?"

"I saw Huang Shilang today."

Wu Jin nodded, such a big bet, it's strange that the Huang family didn't come, but he didn't expect Huang Shilang to come in person, it seems that the Huang family is not generally important, he smiled, and asked: "Is anyone from the official mansion coming?" ”

"A few officials came in the afternoon, turned around and left, their county commanders and county lieutenants were not there, and the officials didn't bother to care, as long as nothing happened, they generally turned a blind eye."

The reason why Wujin is set to draw today, there is also a very important reason that the county order Zhang Rong and Wang County Lieutenant and Zhou Zhutou went to the countryside to listen to the unjust case, obviously, the county order Zhang Rong deliberately went against Su Hanzhen, Su Hanzhen went to the countryside He did not accompany him, Su Hanzhen came back, and he went to the countryside.

The county commander, the county lieutenant and the head catcher were not there for the past two days, so they had a lot less trouble, but since Huang Shilang came in person, Zhang Rongming should rush back the day after tomorrow.

Wujin pondered for a moment, then found someone and instructed him: "You go to the county government and let Zhong Yong inquire, when will Zhang Xianling come back?" ”

Zhong Yong is the son of the fifth uncle, working as a small official in the county government, and the news that Zhang County ordered him to go to the countryside was provided by him, and the key to whether Wujin's plan could succeed was to see when this Zhang County Order would come back.

．．．．．．．．

Huang Shilang's house is in the north of the city, not far from the North City Gambling House, the Huang family ranks fourth in the strength of the six major families in Donghai County, and the Huangfu family is ranked third, the relationship between the two has always been good.

At night, Huang Shilang's study was brightly lit, and Huang Shilang and his two sons, Huang Jun and Huang Feng, were discussing the gambling that suddenly appeared during the day.

The daytime gambling sensation in the city may be a surprise and an interest to others, but it is a great shame for the Huang family.

The gambling industry in Weiyang County has always been controlled by the Huang family, four of the five largest gambling houses are the Huang family's industry, and the other is also related to the Huang family.

"Daddy, tomorrow I'll take a bunch of brothers to smash their yard!" Huang Feng was ruthless.

"Second brother, don't interrupt my father's thinking."

The eldest man of the Huang family is called Huang Jun, he is thirty years old today, he looks quite graceful, very different from his father, he looks more like his mother, he has quite a brain, he is quite calm, and stopped the clamor of his brother.

Huang Shilang sighed, waved his hand and said, "It's easy to smash the field, but it's troublesome to clean up the aftermath, do you know who is gambling today?" ”

"Who is it?" The two brothers said in unison.

"It's the Huangfu family, I saw that the main thing today is the Huangfu Gui, this is the Huangfu family giving us eye medicine."

Huang Shilang couldn't help but snort heavily, for decades, the well water of the Huang family and the Huangfu family did not interfere with the river water, and everyone did their own business, but now for the sake of a household, they don't even talk about the minimum rules.

Huang Feng didn't dare to say anything, he suddenly thought of Huangfu Weiming, who came to him a few days ago, and Huangfu Weiming had already revealed that Huangfu's family might be involved in gambling, but he didn't take it seriously and didn't report it to his father in time.

Huang Jun was silent for a moment and proposed his own solution, "The crowd is so turbulent, if there is a little fright in the crowd by chance, such as a frightened horse..... What does my father think? ”

Huang Shilang was shocked, he hadn't thought of such a vicious method! He stopped, looked up at the roof for a long time, and finally shook his head, "Although the method is good, it is difficult to control the situation, in case the matter is big, Zhang Xianling can't afford to ask the court for the crime, so he should think of another way." ”

Huang Jun stopped talking, Huang Shilang took a few more steps, and he sneered, "It's okay!" I'll salute first and then soldiers, tomorrow I'll go to Huangfu Xu to reason, if their Huangfu family is still not interesting, then don't blame me for being polite. ”

Speaking of this, he instructed Huang Jun again, "You go to Donghu Town immediately, no matter what, please ask Zhang County to rush back in the next two days." ”

．．．．．．．

ps: On Monday, I rushed to the list, and the old high 4,000-word chapter asked for recommendation votes!
