The issuance of the national lottery,Suddenly a strong lottery whirlwind,Streets and alleys,Tea houses and taverns,Everywhere is the voice of talking about the lottery.

At the bazaar, two acquaintances meet.

"Brother, have you ever heard of the national lottery?"

"Why haven't you heard of this? It's all published on the northern version of the civil declaration! ”

"Ah, brother, you still subscribe to the civil declaration?"

"That's not it, I'm also a person who knows a few words, this people's declaration is much better than those scripts, and I can also know the news and interesting things in the world!"

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, the younger brother forgot that his brother is a person who has studied private school! Brother, you definitely don't know about the big event that happened in front of the Baoguo Temple just now! ”

"Oh? Someone gathered in front of Baoguo Temple to fight, or was it that the young lady was molested by someone when she entered the incense? ”

"Cut, my Dahua is now a peaceful and prosperous world, who dares to do evil in public? Brother, tell you, it's amazing, the first prize has just been opened in front of the Baoguo Temple, a countryman who went into the city to buy vegetables today, good luck, spent two pennies to buy a lottery ticket, I didn't expect to win the first prize! Brother, the first prize is 100 taels of silver, and 2 pennies will win 100 taels of silver! ”

"Ah, there is green smoke on the ancestral grave of that countryman, and now he has become a rich man!"

"Isn't it, brother, you're going to try your luck too, are you going to go?"

"Of course I want to go, but I haven't sold out yet!"

"What kind of vegetables are you selling, let's go, you won the first prize, you don't do anything while lying on the kang for a year, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking!"

"Yes, yes, let's go together!"

In a certain restaurant, several scribes gathered together to drink and chat, and suddenly one of them said: "Brothers, what do you mean by saying that this inner court issues this lottery ticket for the country?" ”

Another person said: "The little brother can't figure out this matter, you say, this lottery ticket is only two cents, even the countrymen who enter the city can afford it, if you win the first prize, it is a hundred taels of silver, isn't this a big loss?" ”

Another person said: "It's not, the little brother originally thought that the first prize was only used to promote, and there was nothing true, how do you know that just now the little brother reported that a farmer who went to the city to buy vegetables in front of the Baoguo Temple won the first prize, and now I am afraid that the whole capital is a sensation!" ”

"The younger brother learned from reliable sources that this national lottery was invited by Zhongyibo to the emperor, who doesn't know that Zhongyibo is proficient in business, what is the mystery of this?"

"If this lottery ticket is pushed out of the Zhongyi Bofu, it must be a profitable business, but now it is the grace of the saint, initiated by the inner court, and now the saint is a benevolent monarch, who loves the people like a son, how can he make money from the people? Don't forget, Zhongyibo is also famous for his benevolence, Zhongyibo has been sponsoring the children of poor families to study, and now he has opened a charity hall to help orphans and widows. ”

"What Brother Tai said is, if in your opinion, what is the purpose of Zhongyi Bo Song asking the emperor to issue a lottery ticket to serve the country?"

"Naturally, it is to support the poor people, you think, which of these two pennies can't be paid, once you win the jackpot, the family situation will be completely improved! The emperor and Zhongyi Bo want to govern the country and the country's great plan, the people are rich, and the country is stable, therefore, this lottery is named 'Serving the Country'! ”

"Brother Tai Takami! Brothers, let's go buy lottery tickets and contribute a meager effort to serve the country! ”

"Yes, let's all go, if you are lucky enough to win the prize, you will be happy!"

In the backyard of a large family, a charming young lady reclined lazily on a soft chair, put a book in her hand, and asked the maid standing aside, "Is there anything new and interesting outside?" ”

The maid said excitedly: "Miss, when the slave maid went out to buy needlework and thread just now, I heard a big event, today in front of the Baoguo Temple, a peasant who entered the city spent two pennies to buy a lottery ticket to serve the country, and actually won the first prize, with a hundred taels of silver, and now it has spread in the city!" ”

The young lady sat up in shock and said, "Two pennies lottery ticket, won a hundred taels of silver?" Such a miracle! I heard that this national lottery was invited by Zhongyibo to the emperor, isn't this a big loss? ”

"Miss, how can such a smart person as Zhongyibo make a loss-making business? There must be a mystery in this, but the slave doesn't understand it! ”

"How can ordinary people see through the thoughts of Zhongyibo?"

"That's right, it's a pity that Uncle Zhongyi was recruited by the emperor as a concubine, otherwise with the relationship between our mansion and the second master of the Jia family, the young lady may be able to become the wife of the Han Mansion!"

"Dead girl, what nonsense!"

The young lady scolded the maid on her lips, but she couldn't hide the loss and grief in her eyes, and couldn't help sighing: "Our family is not a wealthy and powerful family, where can Zhongyi Bo be ......?"

"Miss is talented and good-looking, and she will never lose to those aunts in the Han Mansion, but unfortunately she didn't have the opportunity to meet Zhongyibo. The slave maid heard that Uncle Zhongyi is a person who values love and righteousness, and she doesn't care about her background, you think, the most powerful Aunt Liu in Hanfu is still from Qinglou, and now even the master of Jiafu wants to slap her! ”

"Hmph, she didn't rely on her belly to fight for anger and give birth to a son to Uncle Zhongyi...... Don't talk about these, are there many people who buy lottery tickets for the country? ”

"Miss, there are too many people, and the people behind can't squeeze in at all, and the slave arrived early, and also bought a bet, but unfortunately I was unlucky and didn't hit anything. Miss's luck must be good, so why not go and have fun too? ”

"There are too many idlers, how can I go?"

"Miss, there are also lottery tickets sold in the beauty street of the Hanfu women's store, and only women can enter there!"

The young lady hesitated and said, "It's not good, my father doesn't allow me to go out often!" ”

"Miss, what does it matter if you go to the women's store, Madame went to Beauty Street yesterday, and ...... besides" The maid glanced out and said in a low voice: "Don't you want to go to the Han Mansion to have a look, the shopkeeper of the Beauty Street is Aunt Gu of the Han Mansion, you have a friendship with her, don't you have a chance?" ”

The young lady pondered for a moment and said, "I just want to buy a set of small clothes, and by the way, let's go and see the national lottery!" ”

With the opening of a big award, the trend of serving the country lottery is like a wave, and it has become the hottest business in Beijing and surrounding counties before the end of the year, and it has also become a new way of entertainment for young people. Especially those sons and daughters of big families, they are tired of chasing chickens and dogs and kicking the widow's door, and they play the lottery again, betting on whose luck is good. These big players buy hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of lottery tickets, which pushes up the sales of lottery tickets.

A month passed quickly,All the accounts and money for the sale of lottery tickets for the country were summarized to the Han Mansion,Before the accounts,Han Fei first drew 20,000 taels of silver tickets and stuffed them to the celebrant eunuch Huang Ye and his son。

Huang Ye pinched the silver ticket and said hesitantly: "Uncle, this lottery ticket is the emperor's ......"

Han Fei said lightly: "In the trial stage of the lottery, there is no specific account ......"

Huang Ye understood, and said in surprise: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Han Fei called the Han Mansion account office to count the accounts, and soon the results came out, and Huang Ye and his son were dumbfounded.

Han Fei was also surprised, he didn't expect the purchasing power of the people to be so great, and then he smiled and said, "Huang Gonggong, let's go into the palace to face the saint!" ”
