Chapter 145: He's getting richer

After the lockdown, Shenbang had a short period of quiet days and soon got busy again. It's just that this time it's busy, and it's different from before.

There are no treacherous clouds covering the sky, no oppression of an impending storm, only vigorous and upward vitality.

The poor at the bottom struggle to survive on a daily basis. Mr. Toruden's blessing that they were able to get a job, a busy day, and earn 2 meters.

Just enough for them to pay for temporary residency in the state of God, and then buy some water and food. When they have some money to spare, they can go hungry for a day or two, go to the cafeteria in the mine, spend 1 meter, and eat with an open stomach for 1 hour.

Such a happy day, it's like a fairy, what else is there to ask for? People are running for a better life, running as hard as they can.

People with a little bulging pockets certainly don't have to be so tired. They can stock up on a certain amount of food and water to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing.

The slash-and-sword temple supplies food at market prices to ensure basic necessities. People who have skills, people who can't be idle, maybe go on some errand.

More people choose to relax, listen to opera every day, watch gladiator performances, buy a Shinbang lottery ticket, and listen to the winning numbers read out in the newspaper.

Lotteries, newspapers. These two things have become the latest fashionable way of life in the kingdom of God. The lottery has been improved by the Greedy Palace, and now there are 5 figures, that is, 100,000 possibilities, and the prize has been adjusted accordingly.

In the newspapers, long stories are used to introduce the lucky winners of the first prize. In the revamped Shenbang Lottery, the first lucky winner to win the lottery was a beggar begging on the side of the road.

That's right, although the prize money was only 30,000 meters, which is not much. However, this bonus completely changed the fate of the beggar!

He took a lavish bath, dressed in fine silk, drank fine wine, and even had a float take him on a tour throughout the kingdom.

The beggar's encounter is the best advertisement for the Shenbang Lottery. The next day, ticket sales multiplied a hundredfold! Along with the skyrocketing sales of lottery tickets, it is the newspaper!

After the establishment of the Lucky Newspaper, several major Saint Descendant families also purchased newspaper certificates from the Greedy Palace.

Today, there are ten newspapers of all sizes in Shenbang, among which the best sales are Lucky Newspaper. Their owner, Bart Rakley, spent 100,000 meters to buy the right to draw the Shenbang lottery for 3 years.

Other newspapers are not allowed to report the winning numbers of the Shenbang Lottery in any form, nor can they interview the winners.

Relying on the layout of the first step, Lucky Newspaper walked ahead of everyone and became the only profitable newspaper.

In the mines, in the markets, wherever the crowd gathers, there are special scholars, holding the lucky daily newspaper of the day, reading aloud to bring the latest news to people.

These days, the citizens of Shenbang don't have two lucky newspapers at home, and they are embarrassed to go out and chat with people!

Lucky newspaper took advantage of the trend to launch a membership system, which can be monthly and annual, and there will be a special newsboy who will deliver the newspaper to the door in the morning, and the newsboy will also deliver milk or something part-time.

Ludon chose children for this work for a simple reason: children eat less. … He only needs to pay 1 meter a day, and by the way, he can get these children to work for him.

Moreover, these children are forgiven at work, no matter what mistakes they make. Milk spilled?

He's just a kid! The newspaper is broken? He's just a kid! ... Of course, Luden will provide its own customers with good enough after-sales service after these children make mistakes.

In the eyes of the citizens of the Divine State, this is a great act of kindness! What can a child do? Mr. Luton did this purely for the sake of good fortune.

How would these children survive this difficult time without him? Of course, there was a side effect to this: Ludon's reputation for a certain aspect of the Shinto high society... Getting worse and worse.

Whenever Ludon appears, people always look at their children, for fear that he will do something to them.

Luden: ...... In this regard, Ludon can only say that it was a bad misunderstanding. Lottery tickets, newspapers, mines, blacksmiths, buffets... The rudiments of Luden's business empire have been established, and it only takes a little time to nourish them.

Everything is on track. At the same time, Luden, as a tribune, also has a bunch of affairs to deal with. The proposal to hold a sports day has been sent to the Palace of Greed, where it has been approved.

But Justice Greed asked the same question: Why the Games? In his opinion, gladiator conventions, chariot races, operas... Compared with the sports meeting, these things have no obvious disadvantages, and they are even more popular.

He wasn't sure if people liked to watch things like 'sports meets.'" Lutden's response was simple: what I saw in ancient books was worth a try.

Justice Goodred: ....... Nowadays, ancient books have become a universal excuse. Advanced medical knowledge?

Ancient! Strange production tools? Ancient! Innovative business model? Ancient! Ancient books, let the state of God be great again!

The point is, Justice Goodred couldn't argue with Luden. As we all know, the Kingdom of Qiyun was a glorious and great era.

Legend has it that people at that time could soar freely in the sky, travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers in a day, hollow out mountains, and fill in the sea...... The legend about Qiyun is so bizarre that it is simply a myth!

And Ludon's room of ancient books... Since it was left to him by the presiding judge, no one knows what is in the ancient books.

Whatever Ludon says is what he is. Once the business was on track, there were fewer things for Ludon to worry about. He focused more on earning the little miso of the palace of greed.

"Notify the law enforcement team to strictly investigate illegal gladiator performances!" Lutden stressed to a judge,

"These illegal gladiator performances, the stands are not up to standard, and it is easy to cause accidents, and I, as a tribune, must maintain justice!" Judge:...... Is there a possibility that you just feel that an illegal gladiator show will pre-sell tickets for the Games?

No way! When pigs fly! The protector Lu Deng is dedicated to the people, and the world is clear! Either way, Luton was on the side of the Holy Codex.

Moreover, the situation that Ludon said does exist. … Yesterday, the headline of Lucky Daily reported that an adult man was so excited that he fell from the stands and broke three ribs while watching an illegal gladiator show.

The tribune Lu Deng immediately expressed his condolences to the man and gave important instructions to the accompanying judges: to strictly investigate and thoroughly investigate illegal gladiator performances!

No one can get hurt from this! Once the soil for illegal gladiator shows was cleared, people could go to see more expensive regular gladiator shows!

Or... What about the sports meeting? The matter of the illegal gladiators was put aside, and Luton received a new complaint.

An elder sat opposite Luden, blew his beard and glared, and said angrily,

"Protector Luden, Pang Ge takes thousands of people to run back and forth in the Divine State every day, what does he want to do, this is a serious safety hazard in the Divine State!"

"Be careful! Slandering innocent people is not what a patriarch should do. Ludon said confidently,

"I know a little about Pongge's situation, he just took a group of enthusiastic civilians to exercise and prepare for the Games!" Preparing for the Games?

! What kind of business is that? Ludon asked rhetorically,

"Excuse me, did you see weapons and shovels in their hands?" The patriarch was stunned for a moment, then shook his head,

"Nope."

"Have they ever fought each other and trained for combat?"

"Not either."

"What's wrong with a group of people, just running back and forth, forming a queue?" Ludon scoffed,

"Everywhere they went, the crime rate plummeted, and I was even ready to give these enthusiastic civilians a 'Good Civilian Award'!" Senate:...... Subconsciously, they felt that it was not good for Ponge to do this.

However, the reasons given by Ludon are irrefutable. Queue up and run, this is also illegal?

No university scholar will support them. The patriarch had no choice but to leave the small building in ashes, and found nothing. In the small building, the civil protector Lu Deng is still busy with his own people's protection cause.

He's getting richer. ... Mine. In addition to the [Novice] and [Veteran] miners, there is a third type of existence in the mine: prisoners.

These prisoners, who were supposed to be imprisoned, were assigned to the mine by the tribune Lu Dengfa. Depending on the results of each of their work, a certain degree of reduction in sentence may be obtained.

However, the vast majority of people are destined to die in the mines. Today, the mine has welcomed a strange group of 'visitors'.

A visiting group of madmen from St. Peter's Sanatorium. Vice President Lyon organized the trip. In his words: "The madman is also a kind of prisoner, and what a prisoner should have, we should all have!" However, Luton initially refused a request for a visit from St. Peter's Sanatorium.

It wasn't until Lyon took out 100,000 meters that things took a turn. He offered a price that Ludon couldn't refuse.

100,000 meters, a half-day visit to the mine every month for three years. No one could refuse the offer.

During the visit, if the madmen do anything out of the ordinary and cause damages, the Holy Descent family will compensate them at the original price.

The madmen came to the mines, shivering in the dim darkness and huddled together like frightened chicks.

… They were imprisoned in St. Peter's Sanatorium and never left there. This trip was an extremely bold adventure for them.

Compared to these patients, Vice President Lane performed much better. He stood in a clearing, lectured into the air for ten minutes, and then walked away like a victorious general.

Jeff stewards never left an inch, for fear that Young Master Laien would encounter an accident. Because Pong's attitude towards Lane is somewhat ambiguous, there are even rumors that Ponger wants to train Lane to be his successor.

Even if Lyon's status plummeted and he was sent to St. Peter's Sanatorium, it seemed that he could no longer threaten anyone.

There are still people who see him as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of him as soon as possible. There was a sharp cracking sound, and Jeff stopped in front of Ryan, but didn't notice any attack.

In the darkness, a corpse fell limply, dragged into a corner, as if it had never appeared. There is only blood stains on the ore, leaving insignificant evidence.

Jeff's ears twitched slightly, and he heard the familiar chirping of strange birds. The killer who wanted to assassinate Lane has been solved.

The Inquisition not only monitors Lynn, but also protects Lynn. There is only one circumstance in which Lyne will be successfully assassinated.

That's when the Inquisition wanted him to die.

"Shh Lai En squatted down as if nothing had happened, picked up a small piece of iron ore, hid it in the palm of his hand, and showed it to Jeff like a treasure.

"Jeff, do you know what this is?" Jeff wanted to say, isn't this iron ore? In view of Master Laien's 'apple theory', Jeff just had to bite the bullet and say,

"I don't know." This is not iron ore, and what can it be?

"It's gold!" Lyne clenched the stone in his hand, the sharp surface even cut through his palm, and blood spilled from his fingers.

As if he didn't feel the pain, his eyes burst with excitement, and he couldn't suppress his emotions, and he roared,

"Here, there's gold everywhere!".
