Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Dynasty and Kyoto, is grand and solemn in scale, and it is the political, economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty.

In this city, there are today's son Li Er, the eldest grandson and queen of the world, imperial relatives, princes and ministers, celebrities and nobles, officials, generals, etc., on the streets of Chang'an, if ten people are swept down with a rod, at least half of them are relatives with those privileged people, and it is not good to be an official, except for those high-ranking figures, other people, either see colleagues or meet people who are older than themselves, it is not easy to be an official, and it is even worse to be a soldier.

It's a little better like the Imperial Forest Army, but if you want to say that the most bitter thing in the capital is Wuhou.

The lowest-level public officials, with the lowest salary, do the heaviest and most tiring work, in addition to bullying some illiterate ordinary people, can only extort a little benefit from the outsiders, that is, take a little more, and are afraid that the superintendent will find out, such as Granny Wang lost a chicken, the Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, Zhang Yuanwai was touched with the money bag, and sometimes even the work of dredging the sewer is done, but the silver is pitiful.

Located in the prosperous area, such as the east and west cities, Zhengrenfang, Pingkangfang, these Wuhou shops still have a lot of oil and water, but those remote Wuhou shops, can only stare at the portion, the whole family can't eat, starve to death, not to mention how boring.

At the moment of the hour, it is usually the most lively time for the Wuhou shop in Xianghefang, at this time, the Wuhou of the night patrol comes back to make a difference, and the Wuhou of the rest will also order here, but the atmosphere is a little dull, the night patrol is tired and half dead, and the first time to come to the little Mao and more has not slept enough, the spirit is insufficient.

However, today's atmosphere is a little different, and they are staring at Wu Houcheng in front of them as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and there is a strange light in their eyes.

Wuhou Shop, which has always been like Qingshui Yamen, actually has an oily thing. It is a great joy for the entire Wuhou shop.

Wu Houcheng, who usually has no ability in their eyes, is talking about his glorious deeds with his eyebrows fluttering at the moment:

"To be honest, I heard Zhang Sihu say such a good thing, I still don't believe it, and after I got the lottery ticket, I found out that it was not a dream, and I could do errands, and I could eat kickbacks openly, what a good thing."

"Boss. What is a lottery? A martial artist holding a knife didn't understand and touched his head, as if he had heard Qian Wucheng say it for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked.

"To say you're stupid is to be stupid. If you want to be more literate, you won't listen", Qian Wuhoucheng patted his head. Then he said proudly: "The big red notice of the household department." City gates and square gates are posted everywhere, and the lottery is a new way to play, that is, you spend a small amount of money to buy a ticket, and if you are drawn at that time, you will win the jackpot. Do you understand that you are small? ”

"How much to buy, how many jackpots to buy?" As soon as it comes to the lottery, some people are immediately interested.

Qian Wu Houcheng said a little unhappily: "Don't shout, and then interject." I won't talk about it. ”

I hate to be interrupted in the middle of speaking, and Qian Wuhou's mood is a little bad.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lord, speak quickly, brothers listen." Everyone hurriedly promised not to interrupt the "hard work" Qian Wuhoucheng again.

"Ahem" Qian Wu Houcheng saw that everyone did not speak, then continued to say: "This lottery is still quite simple, each note of ten Wen, if you win, the jackpot has one hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels, you just don't eat or drink, it will take a few years to save, ten Wen Qian Bo one hundred taels, that is the odds of one to ten thousand, where to find such a big odds, it is simply against the sky, if you win, with one hundred taels, hehe, can do a lot of things." ”

"It's just that there is no jackpot, there are one to ten taels of the lottery, it is also very attractive, and the lottery will be very fair, and it will be a public lottery on Suzaku Street, and the officials of the household department will also supervise on the spot, fair and just."

After Qian Wuhou finished speaking, a thin Wuhou couldn't help but ask: "Master Cheng, isn't this business bad?" Why is the household also involved? ”

"Good question!" This time, Qian Wuhou Cheng was surprisingly not angry, but said happily:

"This is where the benefits lie, the ten cents, one into five is our errand fee, which is not thunderous, one percent donated to the treasury, and one percent, which has to be taken out to do good deeds, such as opening porridge sheds, administering medicine and medicine, building bridges and roads, that is to say, the more we sell, the more we earn, I heard that this lottery is once a decade, three times a month, this time I fight, one breath to ask for two thousand, as long as these two thousand tickets are sold, then we can earn three taels of silver, three times a month, here we have nine taels of silver, There are only four people in our Wuhou shop, so each person can have an extra month of silver, take it home, and show it to the mother-in-law, we also have light on our faces, right? ”

An old Wu Hou said a little worriedly: "Cheng Chang, take so much at once, if you can't sell it, what should you do?" ”

There is also a little more worry in the eyes of everyone, two thousand sheets, deducting the labor fee, then it will be seventeen taels of silver, if it can't be sold, then what should I do, most of the people who do Wuhou are poor, that is, Wuhou Cheng, and it is only three taels of silver a month, and Wuhou is naturally less.

Qian Wuhou Cheng Ha Da smiled: "At the beginning, I was also a little afraid, but now I am not afraid, when I came back, I sat in Zhang Ji porridge shop for a while, guess what, how many lottery tickets I sold?" ”

"How much?"

"Chief, how many?"

"That's it, don't hang our appetites."

Qian Wuhoucheng stretched out a hand and raised it: "Say it to scare you, after a while, I will sell more than five hundred." ”

Everyone was so frightened that they stuck out their tongues, and the old one stammered: "Why are there so many, won't this be, after a while, you can earn hundreds of yuan?" ”

"One loss of 10,000, and ten cents is not much, who can't take it? If you accidentally win, you can get rich, and then buy this lottery ticket, is to do good deeds, accumulate yin virtue, and you can fight your luck, who doesn't want to do it, when I drink porridge, I said to the people around me by the way, good guys, they heard that this thing is done fairly, and it is to do good deeds, even the master of the source of poetry also bought a note, said that it is a blessing, that week of great goodness, took out two taels of silver and bought two hundred pieces at once. Gee. ”

After Qian Wuhoucheng finished speaking, he licked his lips and said happily: "I decided, we will keep a few here every time, and it will be regarded as a brother's joint purchase, and we will win everyone's share." ”

"Okay, sir, listen to you."

"Hee-hee, actually. I also want to buy some, fight it, and if I win, buy a Silla maid and get a orchid with big tits. That's what it was called comfort. ”

"Yes, if you don't prostitute, you don't know if you're in good health. If you don't gamble, you don't know the luck. I have that in mind, too. ”

Several people laughed.

A martial artist with powerful limbs and a slightly flustered head suddenly asked: "Yicheng does charity, Yicheng goes to the treasury, and half of it is our errand fee, so where does the sixty and a half go?" ”

The other three looked at him like idiots, the most reluctant. The old Wu Hou knocked on his head and said, "If you say that you are Erlengzi, you are Erlengzi, and you don't want silver for lamp oil and fire wax?" What is the lottery that adds up to two hundred taels of silver? Besides, people make it so big and put so much effort into it. Who will do it if you don't earn it, if you don't give you a monthly salary, if you don't do martial arts? ”

"Don't do it!" Erlenzi shook his head resolutely.

Qian Wuhou Cheng took out a few stacks of paper that were only about three fingers thick, printed on yellow paper, and there were many patterns and numbers, waved his hand and beckoned his subordinates and said: "Come on, come, I'll teach you how to sell, and you will sell it to me in a while, which turtle son dares to be lazy, when the time comes, don't blush." ”

Several people gathered around at once, ready to start their plan to make a fortune

Not only like the Wuhou shop of Hefang sells lottery tickets, the entire Wuhou shop of Chang'an City has been dispatched, each Wuhou shop of Wuhou Cheng, have taken a large number of lottery tickets from the top boss, and then sell them within the scope of their own strength, although the transportation is inconvenient, some places are also remote, but it is better in the first issue of October, there is enough time, every time is sold, you can earn a copper coin and a half, this is almost a big meat bun, besides, the odds of one to ten thousand, the fool will not do it.

It's a big deal to eat less meat, how do you have to buy one, you can do good and accumulate yin virtue, not to mention, if the ancestor smokes a little one day, then one hundred taels is his own, which is definitely a big windfall for the people, so, soon, the lottery in the household department of the vigorous publicity and Wu Hou shop under the full promotion, soon the topic of growing up, not only the people are enthusiastic to buy, is a lot of scholars, misses, daughters-in-law or something, but also secretly buy two.

Many people have the one hundred taels of silver in their eyes, and ten copper coins are not money, and sometimes they see someone chasing after Na Wuhou with copper coins to buy, and they feel that they must have won the lottery.

It seems that if you don't buy a lottery ticket, you are embarrassed to say that you are from Chang'an, but there are defenders who want to say no, but the lottery is to do good deeds, and to enrich the treasury, to benefit the country and the people, no one can say anything, plus Li Er let it go, Qinghe Cui's vigorously promoted, and it was very smooth for a while.

Three days later, Liu Yuan, Cui Jing, and Cui Shang began to settle accounts in the production room of the Ministry of Industry.

Liu Yuan said while calculating: "A total of 60,000 lottery tickets were sold, each of which was ten cents, a total of 600,000 wen, converted into six hundred taels of silver, one into the treasury, one into charity, one into half of Wuhou shop, one into Yongzhou Mansion (the institution that managed the capital in the early Tang Dynasty, and was established after Jingzhao Yin Xuanzong) to vigorously promote the remuneration, half of it became the production cost of the Ministry of Industry, the cost went to fifty percent, six hundred taels and more than three hundred taels, and the bonus totaled two hundred taels, the most rear, one hundred taels. ”

Awesome, the current Chang'an, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of people, that is to say, among ten people, there must be one or two who bought lottery tickets, this proportion is too high, so high that Liu Yuan was surprised, he underestimated the enthusiasm of the ancient people to play, it is likely that there is too little entertainment in this generation, the people are spiritually empty, and they have to find a fun if they have nothing to do.

The two Shangshu plus Liu Yuan were busy for a few days, and they got a few hundred taels of silver, and Liu Yuan, who benefited the most, only earned a hundred taels.

One hundred taels is simply a drizzle for Qinghe Cui's family, and no one will put it in their eyes, but it is only on the bright side, with the wisdom of these three people, what they see is not the one hundred taels of silver, but the huge business opportunities hidden behind.

Take one hundred taels as an example, a city earns one hundred taels of silver in ten years, three hundred taels a month, Datang has three hundred and sixty states, each state is only counted as one city, and one of the three hundred and sixty cities has a profit of more than 100,000 taels, and it will easily exceed one million taels a year, and the treasury also has hundreds of thousands of taels of input.

Cui Jing and Cui Shang's brothers all accelerated, looking at Liu Yuan's gaze, as if they had seen a golden ingot.

Yes.

Nima, talent, talent

"Lord Shangshu, there are a few people from Wuhoucheng and Yongzhou Mansion outside, asking to buy lottery tickets again, and they are very fierce, saying that they won't leave if they can't get it, but our inventory has been sold out, what should we do?" A servant came to report with an anxious face.

"What to do? "Cold" Liu Yuan roared loudly: "Quick, tell the craftsmen to start work immediately and print money for me, ah, no, print lottery tickets." ”

The more he prints, the more Liu Yuan naturally earns, and if he doesn't print, he is stupid. (To be continued.) )
