Chapter 194
This day is just the prelude to a large-scale fighting show. There are already crowds of people outside Guangqumen. No less than 10 people came to the capital, and almost all of them returned empty-handed.

The merchants who came to set up stalls were all overwhelmed with work, and they were too popular. They had never seen such a crowd of customers, and they counted their money one by one with cramps.

On May [-]th, the game that the common people were looking forward to began. The British government was really kind and thought it would be fun to gamble. Everyone was not allowed to put all their eggs in one basket. Each person was only allowed to buy ten lottery tickets at a time.

The supervision is not too strict. Some ordinary people have already bought ten tickets, and they are overjoyed when they get the prize. They secretly go to other sales outlets to queue up to buy another ten tickets, because the sales outlet responsible for selling lottery tickets has a full queue of 100 steps. There are more than [-].

Many ordinary people who participated were overjoyed. 30% of them really got benefits, and hundreds of people made a small fortune. They won the third prize. They were reluctant to use such an expensive gift box of soap, which was waiting to be bought immediately. The person bought it and got [-] taels of Wenyin.

The fighting game only lasts for one morning, from Chenshi to noon, and there is no time to wait, which means that if you want to buy a lottery ticket, you have to leave the capital early to catch up with the time. If you come late, you can only go to the trade fair and buy some Household items to take home.

Everything is indistinguishable from the propaganda. On this day, more than 20 people came and bought 200 million lottery tickets. The crowd who returned to the capital came back with a full load, because the fifth prizes were the most, and they were made of porcelain, which was bulky. You can only carry it on your shoulders.

Of course, there are many ordinary people who won the lottery and got 30 taels of silver and made a small fortune. They bought a lot of furniture with these windfalls, and their happy laughter infected many people.

The inner city and outer city of the capital are all talking about fighting games. "Brother Wang, are you going to participate in a fighting game?"

"No, sister-in-law of the Li family, you haven't seen it, there are so many people!"

"Are those bowls and plates you carried won in a fight?"

"What's this? I bought ten lottery tickets and only won six fifth prizes. I'm so unlucky."

"You're not lucky? You got five hundred for two hundred."

"That boy Zhang San is lucky. He won the third prize and came back with 30 taels of silver in his pocket."

"Huh? No wonder that kid didn't answer me when he saw me, and just slipped away to the house."

"Tomorrow's prizes will be even more powerful. Twenty coins might be worth 300 taels of silver! I must go as soon as the city gate opens, and maybe I can get a big prize!"

"That dead ghost in my family still doesn't believe in such a good thing, and missed today's sun for nothing. How about our two families going together tomorrow?"

"Go, of course I'm going. I'll take my family's lottery tickets with me. One person is only allowed to buy ten lottery tickets. It's not worthwhile to go if there are too few people. If there are too many prizes, no one will look at them."

Such conversations can be heard in every corner of the capital. The capital is boiling, and many ordinary people are so excited that they cannot sleep at night because they are looking forward to the opportunity to get rich tomorrow.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the popularity of fighting games soared three times compared to yesterday. Many people didn't even want to buy more lottery tickets, because there is no first prize today, and the supply is still limited. Only tomorrow is unlimited, because it is the last day of fighting games, everyone is guaranteed If you have a share, I hope everyone will be lucky enough to win the first prize and get a car.

Such a lively scene stunned many civil servants and generals who came to watch the excitement, and shocked many eunuchs. The host Zhang Zhiji's voice was hoarse.

This kid was in a mess of excitement, his whole body was in a state of hyperactivity, a little bit like a chicken blood.

No less than ten thousand soldiers came to maintain order. The Huang family had been selling lottery tickets for more than 800 years, and today's 500 million lottery tickets were sold out before noon.

Huang Sheng and Zhang Zhiji received many officials in the temporary greenhouse in the afternoon, and many eunuchs came to the palace to watch the excitement. Huang Sheng asked all bureaucrats to give the common people who work for the government a chance to make a fortune tomorrow morning. Half day vacation.

It's just a half-day vacation, it's not a big deal, the eunuchs who manage and maintain the imperial city expressed their opinion on the spot, and let those bumpkins come here tomorrow morning to see such a vast scene.

Other officials also thought it should be so, such a scene must be unforgettable for a lifetime, and it is worth seeing. They also followed suit and went back to announce tomorrow's holiday.

These officials with real power have been eating and drinking for nothing in the 'Jiuzhongtian' for several days. Now the British government and the Huang family have asked them to give their subordinates a holiday, just to increase their popularity.

Of course, these gentlemen will be beautiful as adults, so they are naturally happy to go back to handle this matter, adding to the lively fighting scene.

Huang Sheng was still worried, and sent craftsmen to the vicinity of Wang Gong's factory to publicize again, telling everyone that there was only half a day left in the morning of the sixth day of May to make a fortune.

We have done everything that can be done, and the final result depends on whether tomorrow's disaster still occurs.

Huang Sheng told Zhang Zhiji to go home, and asked everyone in the British residence to help maintain order tomorrow morning, and asked him to invite the old lady to come and see.

In fact, Zhang Zhiji had already made an appointment with his mother to come here to have a look on the sixth day of the lunar new year. It was a bit funny to see Huang Sheng speak so urgently.

Said: "Brother! In fact, there is no need to ask anyone to make an appointment. Tomorrow, everyone who can move in the capital will come here to watch the excitement. It is said that there will be many people in the palace!"

"Ah? Will His Majesty also come to see it?"

"I don't know. With His Majesty's temper, there is a high probability that he will come here for a visit. He shouldn't be mobilizing the crowd, maybe he will come here lightly, right?"

Emperor Tianqi came here to take a look. This is troublesome. If the timing of his departure is unlucky, he was safe and sound in history, and now he was smashed to death because of his troubles. Wouldn't it be a big joke.

Huang Sheng was depressed, but he couldn't control Emperor Tianqi, and his heart was up and down.

Zhang Zhiji noticed that Huang Sheng's expression was different, and said with a smile: "What do we do when the sage comes up? We haven't done anything bad. He doesn't want others to know, so let's just pretend to be confused. You don't have to worry about going with the situation, brother." .”

That's right, it's useless to think too much, just follow the fate.

Huang Sheng calmed down. No matter how the situation develops, even if a disaster strikes this time, the casualties should be much less than the historical records.

On the sixth day of May, the outer city gates of the capital opened half an hour earlier, and the inner streets of Guangqumen were crowded with smiling crowds. It was only three o'clock, and the vicinity of Wang Gongchang was already quiet.

There were only a few gatekeepers there, and all the nearby residents were mobilized. The craftsmen who were supposed to be building the palace hall were granted a day off. It is said that Emperor Tianqi decided to have fun with the people.

It is recorded in history that the craftsmen who built the main hall "caused 2000 people to fall due to the earthquake, and all of them became meat bags". Such a tragedy will not happen now.

At Chenshi, the capital seems to have been acupointed, and it is still. There are almost no people in the inner city and the outer city. The streets that should be noisy are empty, and there is no shop open for business.

There are only some absent-minded soldiers on duty at the gates of the major cities, and these people are still lamenting the bad luck, and they have to go to work today because of their bad luck.

There was another scene outside the Guangqu Gate. The number of people cannot be counted. More than [-] soldiers were dispatched to maintain order. , the emperor is coming to enjoy the people.

The British prince really didn't expect that the son-in-law's playful behavior would pierce the sky, attracting the emperor Tianqi who never came out of the Forbidden City to watch the fighting show hosted by his son.

Such a good thing that shows your face is rare!The old man took action immediately and called in all the soldiers to maintain law and order.

I also brought my whole family to prepare to have fun with the emperor.Of course, there were still many adults who came to have fun together, Huang Sheng couldn't take care of them at all, so he simply ignored them, and was still busy with his own affairs.

Of course, all the members of the Huang family came, not even the janitor, and the He family did the same. Their servants were also there to help the Huang family.
