Volume 1: A Good Boy Fame Bianliang Chapter 140: Look at it
"You mean Zhao Yuanyan is trying to win over those powerful people?"
As soon as Qin Wei got home, he heard about an interesting thing.
"He thinks His Majesty and the Queen Mother are blind? It's only been a few days since An's birth, and I'm going to do something again. ”
The name of Zhao Yuanyan can be described as thunderous to Qin Wei.
The characters who played rotten TV dramas in later generations lived a good life by pretending to be crazy and stupid in his later years, and he suddenly took action to win over those powerful people, and he could know what he wanted to do with his ass.
Zhao Yunrang sneered: "He thought that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty were having a good time this year, so he wanted to do something in secret, but it's ridiculous, that woman is not good." ”
"That's the Queen Mother!"
Qin Wei corrected with a straight face, Zhao Yunrang's resentment towards Liu E was too deep, which was not a good thing for the Shangjun Palace.
"I know she's the Queen Mother......"
Zhao Yunrang glanced at him stupidly, and then said: "Zhao Yuanyan saw His Majesty's determination to reform, so he felt that he had another chance." ”
Qin Wei nodded, and whispered: "But he is too anxious, if it were me, he would never do it again at this moment, at least until the Queen Mother died......"
Zhao Yunrang's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and then replied to him without moving.
"That's the Queen Mother!"
"You don't care about this matter, you don't see it, don't get involved with those powerful people."
In essence, Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Yuanyan's situation is the same, they are all royal relatives who once had the opportunity to touch the supreme throne.
Zhao Yuanyan was even more within reach, and almost became the emperor.
But no one thought that Zhenzong Zhao Heng was not a vegetarian, and he took away the throne that belonged to him from Zhao Yuanyan.
If you don't resent it, you don't believe it.
Zhao Yuanyan, the eighth son who was most loved by Zhao Guangyi back then, was recognized as the heir to the throne.
Later, Zhenzong Zhao Heng succeeded in winning the heir, and Zhao Yuanyan had to pretend to be crazy and stupid in order to protect himself.
After Liu E took power, he didn't have a good impression of these imperial relatives, and Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Yun made these Zhao clan relatives even more like walking on thin ice.
Does he think he's doing it again now?
Qin Wei sneered in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty may be afraid of the clan's family affection, but the Queen Mother will never do it, but if Zhao Yuanyan dares to make trouble, then his end will only be tragic!" ”
Zhao Yunrang said with a calm face: "The Shangjun Mansion has no desire to fight for power and profit......
Qin Wei just smiled, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "There is no best, don't underestimate Your Majesty's means, that young man seems to be weak, but once someone touches his imperial power......"
Qin Wei didn't say the rest of the words, but Zhao Yunrang's face became more and more difficult to look at.
……
As soon as the Great Song Gaming was launched, it attracted the attention of all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty.
Those powerful people spent a lot of money to join the gambling game, hoping to make a lot of money, but when they were ready, they found a serious problem.
Nobody is coming!
One of the most important reasons why no one came, is that people don't trust the powerful.
Those ordinary people lived under the rule of powerful landlords all the year round, and their understanding of the powerful was deeper than that of the imperial court.
The imperial court may be afraid of face when doing things, but once these magnates are involved, they will do everything.
Many people would rather take a detour to the bureau to buy Fucai, rather than in the nearest lottery opened by the magnates.
There is an even more important reason - they don't have a lucky ticket!
Since the beginning of gambling, Qin Wei has firmly grasped the right to issue lucky tickets in his own hands, and at the beginning some unscrupulous people tried to pirate lucky tickets for personal gain.
But when they printed it, they were dumbfounded.
That's not right!
The color is not pure enough, and the template is not fine enough, especially the official seal of the department above, which can be seen at a glance even if it is imitated.
Some powerful people can't sit still, and many of them join the original intention of gambling is actually for the sake of blessings!
The merit monument of Daxiangguo Temple, for thousands of years, only princes and princes are qualified, this opportunity is rare and desirable.
It's just that when they went to the bureau to theorize, they were prevaricated back by Qin Wei with 'the good deeds of the royal family, how can they be measured by money'.
There's no way, the money has already been paid, even if there is no blessing ticket, they have to do it hard.
Then some powerful people began to hollow out their minds and think about how to make their gambling business prosperous.
But when they think about it, they are depressed.
Compared with the Bureau, they don't have half an advantage, and it's hard to say it, how can they surpass the Bureau.
However, there are countermeasures and policies.
Finally, he was a great wisdom and racked his brains to come up with a shocking idea.
Price!
Increase your bonus amount!
Isn't your bureau a lottery for ten cents? Then we'll pay eight cents!
Isn't your top prize a hundred? We're one hundred and fifty!
With such a disparity in the amount, those people are not stupid, they must have someone who can't resist the temptation to draw a lottery, and when a few people win the lottery, the reputation of gambling will rise.
Let's do it!
The first magnates began to lower their prices, and the amount of winnings doubled.
I have to say that this point is indeed effective, and countless people have given up the color points of the Ministry of Affairs, and then switched to the color points opened by those elites.
It's just that the good times don't last long.
In addition to the bureau in this Bianliang City, there are twelve identical gambling sites in operation, your family will reduce the price, so why can't my family?
If you drop it to eight cents, then I will drop it to six cents, anyway, this is a business without capital, even if it is reduced to one penny, everyone will have money to make.
Bianliang City is crazy.
Twelve gambling stations have launched a low-price competition!
The original 10-penny prize lottery has now even dropped to 4 pennies, and not only that, but the prize money at each gaming station has doubled.
The top prize has been increased from 100 to 500!
Most of the people of Bianliang have become lottery players, and they have flocked to the betting station, hoping to use their luck to win a chance to get rich overnight.
But this booming phenomenon did not last long.
In just half a month, due to low-price competition, there have been more than a dozen vicious incidents of smashing and brawling.
After the new Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Pang learned of this, he first reported it to the imperial court.
But what I got was Zhao Zhen's sentence 'you look at it'......
This means that the court doesn't care, so Pang Ji can only deal with these vicious events in the form of civil disputes.
In just three days, the prison of Kaifeng Mansion arrested hundreds of domestic servants who were fighting and fighting, and these people were all thugs raised by the powerful.
The matter became bigger and bigger, and Pang Ji didn't dare to 'watch it', so he had to petition Zhao Zhen again, wanting the court to intervene.
But the reply he got was still a sentence of 'you watch it'.
