Chapter 49: Analgesics
Yang Reform went back to the dormitory with a smile, and at night he couldn't stop laughing, the queen asked what he was laughing at, Yang Reform laughed and said: IQ superiority.
β¦β¦
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Yang Reform called Li Laifu again. Prepare to teach him how the welfare lottery works and how to play the two-color ball.
β¦β¦
"Grass people Li Laifu knock to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." Li Laifu kowtowed to Yang Reform in a serious manner.
"Well, get up, big companion, give these beads to Li Laifu to see."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed. Then he instructed the little eunuch to show Li Laifu the beads that had teased the group of ministers yesterday.
Thirty-three white jade beads of mutton fat, sixteen green jade beads, each the size of an egg. Pearlescent and green.
"Good jade, good pearl!" Li Laifu is also knowledgeable, and as soon as he saw these things, he knew the origin and shouted.
"Do you know what these beads are for?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people don't know." Li Laifu was puzzled, wasn't this bead intended to be sold by the emperor for me? Although the beads are good, it is unlikely to sell them for a good price.
"Well, of course you don't know, that's what I'm calling you here for. These thirty-three white balls and sixteen green balls make a total of forty-nine balls and forty-nine sets of numbers. There's a game that goes like this, and you memorize it by heart...... This game is divided into Banker and Player. Players choose seven of the 49 numbers. The first six groups choose the white ball, the latter group chooses the green ball, and then the dealer randomly selects seven sets of numbers, if the number selected by the player is the same as the number randomly selected by the dealer, then, the dealer will pay the player 20,000 taels of silver...... The rules are roughly like this. Do you understand? β
Yang Reform said a lot of wordy things, and Li Laifu was at a loss. I'm old, and it's not good to remember my last name. I finally memorized a total of seven, seven, and forty-nine sets of numbers. The others are vague, and as for the last 20,000 taels, they will never be forgotten.
Seeing Li Laifu's blank face, and confused eyes. Yang Gengai knew that this person didn't understand what he was saying. sighed and said, "Companion, copy my words and give them to Li Laifu to memorize." β
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen is quite clear about His Majesty the Emperor's play with this kind of ball, and yesterday morning, the emperor played with the ministers for a day. Thinking of the scene when those gambler-like ministers who lost red-eyed were hungry and embarrassed, burst into tears, and walked out of the hall in shame, Wang Chengen couldn't help laughing. I thought to myself, the emperor is really too naughty. The ministers were teased so badly.
β¦β¦
Yang Gengai drank a cup of tea.
Wang Chengen has explained to Li Laifu several times, and Li Laifu finally figured out the key things.
"Now figured it out?" Yang Gengai took a sip of tea and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people have figured it out." Li Laifu has now finally figured out how to play these balls. also expressed concern about accompanying players for 20,000 taels of silver at a time.
"Tell me what you think, or what you think, if you don't understand, you can ask." Yang reformed.
"Back to Your Majesty, do the grass people think that they will lose 20,000 taels if they hit it once? Isn't it too much? If a person hits five bets, wouldn't he have to pay him 100,000 taels? Of course, Li Laifu knew how much money the 20,000 taels of silver was. That's a big, big bunch. It is enough to make a person rich overnight. [20,000 taels at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is about equivalent to the current five million yuan, of course, the value is not absolute, and the results are different if you use different things as a reference. It can only be an approximation. γ
"Hehe, big companion, tell Li Laifu if you can press it." Yang Gai said to Wang Chengen with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty...... Li Laifu, let me tell you the truth, it is impossible to hit the ,...... Yesterday said...... Anyway, if you can't press it, it's ......" Wang Chengen has personally seen the early dynasty, nearly 100 officials have pressed for a day, and none of them have been pressed, of course, this can't be said in front of a common people, otherwise, where is the face of the court? Of course, it's also quite fun to laugh alone when no one is around.
ββ¦β¦ This ...... really not heavy? "Li Laifu is still not sure if he can be pressed, in case he is pressed, if he is ......, it will be 20,000 taels of silver! What a lot of money.
"Well, don't worry about this matter, pressing, that's possible, and someone has to press, otherwise, who is still playing this game?" For the welfare lottery two-color ball, Yang Reform is very confident, the game designed by people in the 21st century, can there be flaws? Can you press casually? In the 21st century, it is purely exhaustive. Use crowd tactics. Chances. Or outright cheating, of course.
"......" Li Laifu was speechless, since he might be pressed, why do you want to play like this? Lose 20,000 taels? If you hit it a few times, I'm afraid that even Huang Yanjing will have to pay the bill. And have to be pressed? Li Laifu's mind was confused. A lump of paste.
"Well, do it like this, play it once, choose seven numbers is a bet, and a bet is five cents. Then the lottery is drawn, and if the number drawn is the same as the selected number, it will pay 20,000 taels......" Yang Reform tried to recall the gameplay of this two-color ball.
"Ahh ......"Li Laifu is about to collapse. Five dollars and twenty thousand taels, this is crazy. In case Bo wins, it will be a real benefit. I really want to lose the emperor's pants!
"The key to this thing lies in the fairness of the lottery, you can rest assured, I will find someone to host this lottery, the tool is this group of sheep fat jade beads and jade beads here I have, the lottery process can be placed in a place where everyone can see ......, so that others will not suspect cheating, and there will be quite a lot of people who buy it." Five cents per person, there are millions of people in my capital, and I have tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, if everyone buys a bet with five dollars, how much should it be? "Yang Gai has been immersed in a beautiful imagination, imagining the scene of people crazy to buy lottery tickets.
Not only Li Laifu was stupid, but even Wang Chengen was stupid, looking at the emperor with blank eyes, he really couldn't figure out how the emperor's head grew and came up with such a crazy idea.
"Big companion, big companion ......" Yang Gengai saw that Wang Chengen was also looking at him stupidly, and he was stunned, and finally knew that he was talking too crazy.
ββ¦β¦ The slave is here, the slave is there. Wang Chengen was reminded by the emperor, so he came to his senses and hurriedly said yes.
"So, Companion, hurry up and write down my words, or I'll forget them in a moment."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen hurriedly picked up the pen in person and worked as a recorder for Yang Reform.
"What about this two-color ball. It is open once a month every two days, and once at the beginning of each month and once in the middle of the month. In this way, a month on the appearance of thirteen periods, if no one won the jackpot last time, the prize of the jackpot will be accumulated into the next lottery, in this way, the more the bonus will accumulate more and more, there may be more than 100,000 of them, of course, each time will draw a four or five percent as the cost of operating the ...... "Yang reform efforts to recall the welfare lottery two-color ball play, this two-color ball, is the most people to play one, but also the highest prize one.
Wang Chengen copied sweating profusely, these data are too strong. Li Laifu is like listening to a book from heaven, full of words, from the left ear in, right ear out, there is nothing left in his mind.
β¦β¦
"This is just part of the rules and operating methods I imagined, and as for the detailed rules, you have to work hard to figure it out yourself." Yang Gai said to Li Laifu.
As for why this welfare lottery two-color ball? Is it sure to make a lot of money? Or is it a thankless effort? In fact, it is very simple, the lottery claims to be a "painkiller" for the poor! In this increasingly hopeless and hopeless post-apocalyptic era, Yang felt that it was necessary to prescribe such a "painkiller" to the people of the late Ming Dynasty, as a ruler, maintaining the "stability" of society is sometimes more important than making money. As for the question of how much money you make, that's another story.
ββ¦β¦ This thing,It's just my initial idea,There are still some key places,I still have to think about it,In this way,Li Laifu,You also go back and think about it,Thoroughly understand this thing and then talk about ......it,Pay attention to confidentiality...... "Yang reform's words are not finished,Lottery this thing,There are still many things that need to be improved,It's not that you get a piece of paper,Write a few numbers is the lottery,You also need to improve the anti-counterfeiting system,Lottery production,Paper,Sale,Lottery and so on need to be improvedγ Yang Reform said this, only then did he think of these things, and only then did he understand that these things were made by many years of continuous improvement by many people, and it was not that he got them out as soon as his head was hot. Thinking of this, Yang Gengai sighed again. waved his hand and let Li Laifu go. Li Laifu was in a fog, and before he could figure out what was going on, he let Yang Reform drive him away. What I got in my hands was just a few words copied by Wang Chengen.
For these problems, Yang Reform can only be speechless. Use your brain to figure it out. First of all, it is how to do the lottery ticket, how to prevent counterfeiting, and to do this, it is how to sell, how to redeem the prize.
Yang Gengai rubbed his head, his head hurt a lot, which was much more troublesome than teasing those ministers. The times are different, and if you want to engage in two-color balls at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the difficulty is not ordinary! Yang Reform has a headache, and he takes it for granted.;
