Chapter 1222: Do welfare
Mineral deposits are not renewable resources and will be mined less and less as they are mined.
So when he heard that Ying Feiyu was going to use mineral deposits to make up for this part of the expenses, Ying Zheng was actually not too optimistic!
But I can't let those old people and orphans go, and I thought that this kid should have his own considerations, so I didn't say anything!
Sure enough, this kid really has other options!
"There are 40 million people in my Great Qin territory, plus all over the Western Regions, there are almost 400 million people, what if each person comes up with a penny?"
However, Ying Feiyu did not answer the rhetorical question.
"400 million people, a penny each? That's ...... 400,000 gold? ”
Ying Zheng hugged the child and estimated it in his heart.
"That's right! The ministers have roughly calculated before that the cost of nursing homes and orphanages is about one million gold a year, and if everyone in the world is willing to give two or three cents a year, the money for nursing homes and orphanages will be enough! ”
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
"Let everyone in the world pay two or three cents a year to support those old people and children......?"
Ying Zheng thought carefully for a long time, and said cautiously: "Although it is nothing for each person to take out two or three cents, isn't this equivalent to a disguised tax?" I fear that the people will complain! ”
"Then what if you use these two coins to get a chance to get 10,000 gold?"
Ying Feiyu held his head high, revealing a confident expression.
"What do you mean? You kid explain it plainly? ”
In a few words, Ying Feiyu aroused Ying Zheng's curiosity, stared at him intently, and even handed out the child in his arms.
Ying Feiyu carefully took the swaddling clothes, looking at Xiao Yiyi yawning inside, her heart was about to be cute!
"Don't patronize the child, but tell me quickly, what do you mean?"
Curiosity was aroused, and the kid kept silent again, teasing his daughter, and Yingzheng was immediately unhappy.
"Nothing special, it's literal!"
Ying Feiyu was busy teasing the child, so she really didn't have the heart to explain to him in detail, so she casually said a few perfunctory sentences.
"What do you mean by two pennies and ten thousand gold? Is it to let all the people join the shares to do business and earn 10,000 gold with two pennies? ”
Ying Zheng frowned and speculated wildly.
"Pull it down, what kind of business can you make 10,000 gold with two pennies!"
As soon as these words came out, the shocked Ying Feiyu's eyes almost jumped out.
Everyone said that he had a bit of a skill to turn stone into gold, but even so, he didn't have much to do but lead the people to invest two pennies and earn 10,000 gold!
If so, why would he bother with cars, ships, newspapers, textiles, and so on?
Wouldn't it be okay to invest a few more money?
This kind of good thing can't even be dreamed of, right?
"So what do you mean kid? Hurry up! ”
Ying Zheng deliberately grimaced and asked sharply.
"Alas......!"
Seeing that the scumbag's nose was not a nose and his face was not a face, Ying Feiyu had no choice but to hand over his daughter to the nurse to take care of, and explained to the scumbag, "Erchen plans to open an additional business in Qianzhuang!" ”
"Increasing business? What business? ”
"Lottery!"
"Lottery ......? What is this? But it's about the same as a silver ticket? ”
"No, no, no! Far from it! ”
Ying Feiyu shook his head and smiled, "The lottery is a string of numbers, consisting of six ordinary numbers and a special number......!" ”
After talking about the general gameplay of the lottery with Ying Zheng, he continued: "The price of each lottery ticket is two yuan, if you win the jackpot, it is 10,000 gold, followed by ten gold, one gold, ten yuan and five money!" ”
"Go on!"
Ying Zheng nodded, listening with great interest.
"Erchen named the lottery welfare lottery, which means to do welfare! For every lottery ticket they buy, they donate a penny to orphanages and nursing homes! In this way, the people not only donate money, but also have a chance to get rich and get rid of poverty, and the father said that no one will buy it? ”
Ying Feiyu raised an eyebrow at him and smiled evilly.
"It's possible to earn 10,000 gold for just two pennies, and this temptation is indeed not small! A lot of people are sure to buy it! ”
Not to mention ordinary people, even Ying Zheng's heart is itchy, and he wants to see if he has this luck.
"Lottery stations are opened in the entire Daqin, as long as there is a rich village, there is a lottery station! I have 400 million people in Daqin, excluding the elderly and children, and there are also 200 million people, and each person buys a bet, which is 400 million yuan, that is, 400,000 gold! In other words, 200,000 gold will be donated every time! ”
"And the remaining 200,000 gold is more than enough to pay for the people's winning situation!"
"The lottery is drawn every three days! Ten times a month, the people will donate 2 million gold! Even if half of the people buy it, there will be 1 million gold available every month! This money is enough to pay for all the expenses of nursing homes and orphanages, and there is no need to use mineral vein resources at all! ”
"As for the rest, you can set up a foundation to help other people in need! For example, if you are seriously ill and have no money to see a doctor! There are also those whose families have been affected by disasters and have special circumstances! ”
"In a word, take it from the people, use it for the people, and the court will not move a penny of this part of the money!"
Ying Feiyu said what she thought.
This set is almost a copy of the lottery of later generations.
It's just that the corresponding changes have been made, and the general meaning is still the same!
"What does Father think?"
His words fell for a long time, and seeing that Yingzheng was still stunned, he waved his hand in front of his eyes to interrupt his thoughts.
"Huh?"
A big hand shook twice in front of his eyes, and Ying Zheng suddenly woke up, "What your kid said, is it really taught by your master?" ”
"Of course, otherwise, how could Erchen want to get so much?"
Ying Feiyu laughed firmly, revealing a mouth full of small white teeth.
"Yes! If this is what you kid came up with, it's horrible! ”
Ying Zheng said stunned.
This measure not only solves the supply problem of nursing homes, but also gives people a chance to get rich and let them take out the money willingly.
Even if there are ten issues per month, the period does not fall, and it is only twenty wen a month, which is really nothing to the people now.
Besides, it is impossible not to win one of these ten times, at least you have to win the lowest prize!
That way, there's less to spend!
They do spend less, but when combined, it's a huge number!
"According to your boy, each issue will be held in Xianyang and then published in the newspaper! Ticket holders can claim their prizes at any bank within two months, but what if someone takes advantage of the loophole and forges the ticket within two months? You can't give the lottery ticket the same anti-counterfeiting as a silver ticket, right? That's a lot of money! ”
After the shock, Ying Zheng also found out the loopholes.
He felt that the time to claim the prize was too long, and it was easy for those with bad intentions to take advantage of the loophole!
"Father, have you forgotten what the seal is for? The paper of the lottery does not need to be too strict anti-counterfeiting, as long as you put more effort into the seal! ”
Ying Feiyu didn't even think about it, and directly gave a solution.
There are many carving masters in this era, and the things they carve are not something that ordinary people can imitate, as long as the corresponding seal is stamped on the lottery ticket, and the money is checked and paid normally!
"Hahaha! You're pretty thoughtful...... kid! ”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately laughed, "You kid! The brain is indeed much more active than mine, presumably as soon as this method comes out, it will definitely explode! ”
