Chapter 48 Painkillers

(The picture shows the suet white jade bracelet)
Yang Reform went back to the dormitory happily, and kept laughing at night. When the queen asked what he was laughing at, Yang Reform laughed and said: IQ superiority.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Yang Reform called Li Laifu again.Prepare to teach him how the welfare lottery works and how to play the double-color ball.

……

"Grassman Li Laifu kowtowed to my emperor, long live my emperor." Li Laifu kowtowed to Yang Reform solemnly.

"Well, get up, big companion, show these beads to Li Laifu."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.Then he directed the little eunuch to show Li Laifu the beads that teased the group of ministers yesterday.

Thirty-three suet white jade beads and sixteen green jadeite beads, each of which is the size of an egg.The pearl is brilliant and the green is refreshing.

"Good jade, good pearls!" Li Laifu also knew the goods, and he knew the origin of these things as soon as he saw them, so he exclaimed.

"Do you know what these beads are for?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the grassroots don't know." Li Laifu was puzzled, didn't the emperor plan to sell this bead to me?Although this bead is good, it is impossible to sell it for a good price.

"Well, of course you don't know, that's why I called you here today. There are 33 white balls and 49 green balls, a total of 49 balls and 49 sets of numbers. There is a game, like this, you memorize it by heart Come down... This game is divided into dealers and players. Players choose seven sets of numbers among the 2 sets of numbers. Among them, the first six groups choose white balls, and the last group chooses green balls. Then the dealer randomly selects seven sets of numbers. If the player The selected number is the same as the number randomly drawn by the dealer, then the dealer will pay the player [-] taels of silver... The rules are roughly the same. Do you understand?"

Yang Reform talked a lot, but Li Laifu was at a loss.I'm getting older and my memory isn't very good.Finally, I remembered a total of seven, seven, and 49 sets of numbers.The others are blurred. As for the last 2 taels, I will never forget it.

See Li Laifu's bewildered and confused eyes.Yang Reform knew that this person didn't understand what he said.Sighing, he said, "Big Companion, copy down what I said, and let Li Laifu know it by heart."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Cheng'en was quite clear about the way His Majesty played the ball. Yesterday morning, the Emperor played with the ministers all day.Wang Chengen couldn't help laughing when he thought of those gambler-like ministers who had lost their eyes, hungry, embarrassed, tearful, and ashamed to walk out of the hall.I thought, the emperor is really naughty.The ministers were teased too badly.

……

Yang Reform drank a cup of tea.

Wang Chengen had explained it to Li Laifu several times, and Li Laifu finally figured out the key things.

"Have you figured it out now?" Yang Reform asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Return to Your Majesty, the grass people figured it out." Li Laifu finally figured out how to play these balls.I also expressed concern about accompanying players with [-] taels of silver at a time.

"Tell me if you have any ideas or opinions, you can ask if you don't understand." Yang Reformed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks that you will pay 10 taels for one bet? Is it too much? If a person hits five bets, wouldn't he be paid 500 taels?" Of course Li Laifu knew about the [-] taels. How big a pile of money is silver.That's a big, big bunch.Enough to make a person rich overnight. [[-] taels at the end of the Ming Dynasty is roughly equivalent to [-] million RMB today. Of course, the value is not absolute. Different things are used as references, and the results are also different.It can only be an estimate. 】

"Hehe, Big Companion, tell Li Laifu if you can win." Yang Reform said to Wang Chengen with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty... Li Laifu, to tell you the truth, it's impossible to win...Yesterday... Anyway, it's just..." Wang Chengen personally saw the morning court. Nearly a hundred officials pressed for a day, but they didn't A crush, of course, this cannot be said in front of ordinary people, otherwise, what would be the face of the imperial court?Of course, it's also quite interesting to laugh alone when no one is around.

"...This..., is it really heavy?" Li Laifu was still not sure if he could hit the hit, and if he hit, if..., it would be twenty thousand taels of silver!What a big pile of money.

"Well, don't worry about this matter. It is possible to hit the middle, and someone must hit the middle, otherwise, who will play this game?" Yang Reform is very confident about the welfare lottery. Can a designed game have flaws?Can you hit it casually? Pressing the middle in the 21st century is purely exhaustive.Use human sea tactics.hit and miss.Of course, or simply cheating.

"..." Li Laifu was speechless. Since it was possible to hit the target, why did he play like this?Pay twenty thousand taels?If you hit it a few times, I'm afraid even the emperor will renege on it.Still have to press?Li Laifu was confused.A mess.

"Well, this operation, play once, choose seven numbers as one bet, and one bet is five cents. Then draw a lottery, if the number drawn out is the same as the number selected, you will pay [-] taels..." Yang Reform worked hard Recall the play of the color ball.

"Ah!..." Li Laifu was about to collapse.Five Wen Qian Bo twenty thousand taels, this is crazy.If you win the lottery, it's really a lot of money.I really want to lose the emperor's underpants!
"The key to this thing lies in the fairness of the lottery. You can rest assured that I will find someone to preside over the lottery. The tool is this group of suet jade beads and jadeite beads here. The process of the lottery can be done by everyone. The place I saw... In this way, others will not suspect cheating, and there will be quite a lot of people who buy it. Five Wen per person, there are millions of people in my capital, and tens of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty. If you buy a bet for five cents, how much should it be?" Yang Reform was almost immersed in his beautiful imagination, imagining the scene of people buying lottery tickets frantically.

Not only Li Laifu was stupid, even Wang Chengen was also dumbfounded, looking at the emperor helplessly, he couldn't figure out how the emperor's head grew to come up with such a crazy idea.

"Big Companion, Big Companion..." Seeing Wang Chengen also staring at him stupidly, Yang Reform was stunned, and finally realized that what he said was too crazy.

"...The servant is here, the servant is here." Wang Chengen woke up after being reminded by the emperor, and quickly said that he was there.

"In this way, big companion, please quickly write down what I said, otherwise I will forget it in a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen hastily picked up his pen and acted as a recorder for Yang Reform.

"What about this double-color ball? It opens once every month, and stops once at the beginning and middle of each month. In this way, there will be thirteen episodes in a month. If no one wins the big prize last time, the prize money of the big prize will be accumulated In this way, the bonuses will accumulate more and more, and there may be more than [-]. Of course, [-] to [-]% will be drawn each time as operating expenses..." Yang Reform recalled the welfare lottery with great effort. The two-color ball game, this two-color ball, is the one played by the most people, and it is also the one with the highest bonus.

What Wang Chengen copied was sweating profusely. These data are really too powerful.Li Laifu, on the other hand, was like listening to a book from heaven, his ears were full of words, entering from his left ear and exiting from his right ear, leaving nothing in his mind.

……

"This is just a part of the rules and operating methods I think. As for the detailed rules, you have to work hard to figure it out yourself." Yang Reform said to Li Laifu.

As for why this welfare lottery double-color ball should be engaged in?Is it sure to make a lot of money?Still thankless?In fact, it is very simple. The lottery is called a "painkiller" for the poor!In this increasingly hopeless apocalyptic era, it is necessary for Yang Reform to prescribe such a "painkiller" to people in the late Ming Dynasty. As a ruler, maintaining social "stability" is sometimes more important than Making money is more important.As for how much money you make, that's another story.

"...This thing is just my preliminary idea. There are still some key points in it. I still have to think about it. In this way, Li Laifu, you should go back and think about it. After you understand this thing thoroughly..., pay attention Confidentiality..." Yang Reform didn't finish his words. There are still many things that need to be perfected for lottery tickets. Sales, lottery and other links need to be improved.When Yang Reform said this, he remembered these things, and then realized that these things were made by many people over the years, and they were not made out of his own head.Thinking of this, Yang Reform sighed again.He waved his hand and let Li Laifu go.Li Laifu was in a fog, and hadn't figured out what was going on, so he was driven away by Yang Reform.What I got was just a few words and phrases copied down by Wang Chengen.

Regarding these issues, Yang Reform can only say nothing.Use your brain to find a way.First of all, how to do lottery tickets, how to prevent counterfeiting, how to sell them, and how to redeem prizes.

Yang Reform rubbed his forehead and felt a headache. This was much more troublesome than teasing those ministers.The times are different, and it is not so difficult to engage in double-color balls in this late Ming Dynasty!Yang Reform had such a headache, he took it for granted.
