"Ziyou, are you really confident?"

"Uncle, my nephew dares to vouch with his head, this lottery is absolutely feasible."

"In that case, I agree!"

"Uncle Shengming!" Li Wangyou was overjoyed, and quickly sent a series of flattery: "Uncle Wencheng Wude, Shun Tianxin, Kang Minyi, long live long live long live!"

After Li Er listened to his flattery, the Tang Emperor, who was drinking from a tea bowl, hadn't been choked to death by the tea: "Cough, cough... Ziyou, get the hell out of here!"

356 Lottery Offers

After ten days, the rumors about Li Wangyou, the founding son of Hu County, in Chang'an City were much less.

No matter how boring the people of Tang Dynasty are, they will not gossip about one person for so long.But when it comes to Li Wangyou, most of them show contempt.

But today, Li Wangyou has become a hot topic of discussion among the people of Chang'an.

The morning drum in Chang'an City rang, and the doors of the [-] squares opened.The people of Chang'an who were busy with their livelihood were about to leave the workshop to go to work, but they were shocked to find that there was another notice posted on the gate of the workshop.

Immediately, some people thought of the pornographic announcement not long ago, thinking that it was exciting to watch again, so they all gathered around.

When the literate people read the contents of the notice and found that it was not what they expected, everyone was a little disappointed.But after hearing the news written on the notice clearly, these people exploded again.

"Brother Wen, are you sure you read correctly? What kind of double-color ball lottery is this? You can really win 200 taels of gold for two pennies?"

"That Huxian son made this up again? Tsk tsk, is there really nowhere to spend the gold at home?"

"Did you really win the lottery and give 200 taels of gold? That's more than 100 million yuan. Daozu, how much is this?"

"Dalang, quickly check to see if what is written on the notice is true?"

"What's the matter with the double-color ball lottery? This gentleman, please explain to everyone."

"If you guess seven numbers correctly, you can get 200 taels of gold? Isn't this a joke?"

"This is a notice with the official seal, so how can it be fake?"

"Is Hu Xianzi really the God of Wealth? Isn't this a rush to send money?"

Similar scenes are recurring in almost all the [-] squares in Chang'an City.Even the "rich districts" in the north of the city caused quite a stir because of this announcement.

The officials rushing to court noticed the announcement and immediately thought of the game that Hu Xianzi played with them in the main hall of Tai Chi Palace ten days ago.

It turns out that this is called a lottery!

Many officials who are shy in their pockets are actually somewhat joyful.

I thought I had missed the opportunity to make a fortune, but I didn't expect Hu Xianzi to make the lottery public and make such a big fight.

Although the winning amount has changed from 1000 taels of gold to 200 taels of gold that day, it is still attractive enough. After all, it only takes two pennies to win 120 million taels of gold. Who would not like that.

Many officials even noticed that the lottery, which was released to the public this time, was played differently from the previous lottery in the hall.

Not only can you win the prize if you guess all seven sets of numbers correctly, but there are also small prizes such as the second prize and the third prize.

The first prize is to guess all the numbers correctly, and you can get 200 taels of gold.

For the second prize, if you guess the number of six red balls, you can get 50 taels of gold.

For the third prize, if you guess any five red ball numbers, or four red balls plus basketball numbers, you can get five taels of gold...and so on, until the sixth prize, ten copper coins.

Li Wangyou almost completely copied the double-color ball welfare lottery rules of the later generations of Huaxia, but this simple and easy-to-understand lottery rules caused an uproar in Chang'an City.

In order to promote the Shuangseqiu lottery, he not only posted notices at the gate of the square.The carriage of the four-wheeled carriage shop once again played a guest role as a promotional vehicle, driving around Chang'an, throwing down a lot of promotional advertisements.

Now that woodblock printing is available, it is easy to print these advertisements.

The most exaggerated thing is that after Li Wangyou convinced Li Er, especially after some calculations, Li Er finally knew the huge benefits contained in the lottery, and the Tang emperor couldn't sit still.

With Li Er's acquiescence, large advertisement banners were hung above several important city gates in Chang'an City for the first time.

"Get rich, Shuangseqiu lottery will help you!"

"Buy lottery tickets, win big prizes, and gain both fame and fortune!"

"A million-dollar prize is not a dream, luck lies in two pennies!"

"One lottery bet, one chance, one big prize, benefit for a lifetime!"

"Buy more, buy less, buy as much as you want, and forget to win!"

These slogans that Li Wangyou directly plagiarized from the advertisements of later generations of blessing lottery stimulated the people of Tang Dynasty to the point of being overwhelmed, and everyone looked forward to the unfamiliar lottery.

It's as if you can get the 200 taels of gold for just spending two pennies.

The issuance of the Shuangseqiu lottery, under the instruction of Li Er, was jointly operated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Li Wangyou.

In Chang'an City, six lottery sales outlets were set up in the eastern and western cities, Pingkangfang and Buzhengfang, and Changshoufang and Xuanyangfang where Wannian County of Chang'an is located.

These six sales points are each in charge of more than 20 clerks from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there are also officials from the two counties of Chang'an Wannian to maintain order.

Regarding the lottery, no matter whether it is Chang'an County Magistrate Cui Zhuo or Wannian County Magistrate Lu Dejing, they also have some understanding.

At the court that day, the two "mayors" of the capital of the Tang Dynasty were also in the court hall, and they also bought a few numbers with their pockets.Although none of them won the lottery, they have a lot of interest in this lottery.

Now with Li Er's imperial decree and Dai Shangshu's instruction from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they naturally cooperated with all their strength and dispatched county yamen servants to help maintain order.

Datang does not have a computer network, everything has to rely on manual operations, including filling out lottery tickets and statistics.

For this reason, Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, directly transferred more than 100 clerks from all levels of yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to fill out lottery tickets at these lottery sales points.

Dai Zhou thought that he had prepared well, but he underestimated the attraction of the lottery to the people of Datang.

You can win 200 taels of gold by spending two pennies. This kind of huge wealth stimulation made the people in Chang'an City jealous after they figured out what a lottery ticket is.

He didn't go to any work, and hurried home to get the money bag, ready to rush to the nearest lottery sales point to buy lottery tickets.

Believers who believe in Buddhism and Taoism first ran to temples and Taoist temples to burn incense on the statues and pray to bless themselves to win the lottery.Some people even asked the Taoist priest to help them calculate the winning numbers, which made those divination priests stunned for a while.

Some people are muttering words, holding a handful of copper coins and thinking about which seven numbers they should buy.

There are also people who like to gamble, even took out their counters and started to calculate...

And the six lottery ticket booths set up in Chang'an City were instantly crowded by the turbulent crowd.

Even the yamen servants in Wannian and Wannian counties in Chang'an, who are in charge of maintaining order today, were squeezed out by the crowds. Under the stimulus of gold, these red-eyed Chang'an people couldn't care less about these yamen servants.

Originally set at Sishi, the auspicious time calculated by Si Tiantai, the lottery tickets will be sold.
