The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

At the meeting.

Cai Yong looked at the financial statement, his mouth closed in excitement.

"Grand Master, the method you listed is really too fast! It has only been half a month, and the financial problems of the imperial court have been solved, and there is even money left."

"Didn't I say it before, money is not a problem."

Hua Xiong rubbed his chin, smiled authentically,

"Since there is still money left, let's use it to raise the wages of all the colleagues in the imperial court."

The imperial court's financial difficulties are not difficult. After all, it has little to do with the ministers present.

But the wage increase is actually related to the interests of all officials.

Upon hearing this, the officials present were very excited.

"Master Grand Master is really considerate of his subordinates."

"It's an honor for me to be able to serve under the master Grand Master!"

Under the flattery of the ministers, Hua Xiong left the court meeting with a smile.

He came to the newly established lottery bureau.

When the director Ma Teng heard Hua Xiong's arrival, he didn't dare to delay, and hurried out to greet him.

"Meet the Grand Master!"

"Okay, no courtesy."

Hua Xiong sat down on the chair, looked at Ma Teng, and asked,

"How have lottery sales been going lately?"

Hearing Hua Xiong mention this matter, Ma Teng suddenly frowns.

"Reporting that Taishi's sales are not very optimistic."

Hua Xiong took the account book from Ma Teng and read it carefully.

This is not only not optimistic, it is very ugly!

In issuing lottery tickets, Hua Xiong basically followed the rules of his previous life.

Each lottery ticket is priced at 1 copper coins, the first prize is [-] taels of silver, the second prize is [-] silver, the third prize is [-] silver, and so on.

According to Hua Xiong's vision, Chang'an City has a population of one million.

As long as half of the people buy lottery tickets, it will be 5 taels of silver.

After deducting the cost and various bonuses, 3 taels of silver can be left.

Held every three days, one month is 30 silver!

As long as it runs for a month or two, the financial difficulties of the imperial court will be easily resolved.

Hua Xiong can even build a few more troops!

It's a pity that imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

It has been held for two sessions now, and very few people have participated.

A total of less than 1000 taels of lottery tickets were sold, and the prize money for the lottery buyers was 3000 taels.

It can only be described as a bloody mother!

"That's impossible." Hua Xiong frowned.

Ma Teng nodded sadly,

"It's all because the subordinates are not doing well."

"Actually, I can't blame you. This is the first time you have come into contact with this kind of affairs."

Hua Xiong said a few words of comfort.

"Teacher, what should we do now?" Ma Teng asked.

"It looks like I'm going out on my own."

Hua Xiong said to himself.

He stood up and led Ma Teng and others out the door.

In order to ensure fairness and justice, the location of the lottery draw is in a square in Chang'an City.

Hua Xiong first ordered a number of soldiers to go along the streets of the city, beating gongs and drums to propagate.

The ancient people didn't have many activities, and when they heard that the grand master of the dynasty was going to hold a lottery drawing ceremony, they all flocked to it.

Soon the square was full of people.

Chapter 71 Isn't 1 taels of silver fragrant?

"Hey, is he the grand master? He's so young."

"Don't tell me, he's quite handsome. If I can have a fling with him, I'm willing to die."

"What the hell is a lottery?"

"I heard that you can make a lot of money."

The people present were talking about it.

Being stared at by tens of thousands of people at the same time, Hua Xiong was still a little nervous.

He took a deep breath and said loudly,

"Everyone, we are here today for the welfare lottery drawing ceremony!"

Welfare lottery?

Ma Teng and the employees of the lottery bureau were all taken aback.

"You spend one hundred to buy a lottery ticket. There are seven numbers on the lottery ticket. As long as the number is the same as the last number drawn, you can get 1 taels of silver!"

1 taels of silver was not a small amount during the Three Kingdoms period.

An acre of good fertile land costs only ten thousand dollars.

1 taels of silver is enough to buy a thousand acres of fertile land!

The people present immediately began to think about it.

"Then what if you don't win the lottery?"

Suddenly someone asked.

"It doesn't matter if you don't win the lottery. Since it is a welfare lottery, the money left in the end will be used by the imperial court to build roads and bridges, and do some projects to improve people's livelihood!"

Advertising, \app \ is really good, it's worth installing it, even Android and Apple phones support it!

Hua Xiong explained.

Seeing that it was almost time, he winked at Ma Teng.

After a while, an employee of the lottery bureau came up with a plate of small balls.

Each ball has a number from one to 33 on it.

After Hua Xiong showed the ball to all the people present, he threw it into a box next to it.

Then he grabbed seven small balls out of it and read the numbers aloud.

"Did anyone win the lottery?"

Hua Xiong asked loudly.

The people present looked at each other in blank silence.

At this moment, Hua Xiong prepared in advance, and Hu Zi stepped forward.

"My lord, I won the lottery!"

Huzi pretended to be ecstatic, and couldn't contain his excitement.

"Bring up this lucky brother."

Hu Zi was brought before Hua Xiong.

"Congratulations, brother, this is 1 taels of silver!"

Hua Xiong put 1 taels of silver into the bag in front of everyone, and handed it to Huzi.

Huzi happily picked up the bag and left the scene.

Looking at the white money, it was taken away by others like this.

The people present, don't mention how envious and jealous they are.

"Instead of envious of others, it is better to act quickly!"

"Isn't it delicious for 1 taels of silver? You can get it with only a hundred dollars."

"Action is worse than heartbeat!"

"One hundred yuan, you can't buy it, and you can't lose money, and you can't buy it for one hundred yuan, you can't be fooled! It's really worth the money."

"Even if you don't win the lottery, you can still benefit the society!"

The employees of the lottery bureau loudly promoted the advertisement written by Hua Xiong.

Under such publicity and public opinion, the hearts of the common people were soon moved.

They held up the copper coins in their hands one after another, scrambling to buy lottery tickets.

The sky darkened.

Ma Teng and others in the lottery bureau are counting the total sales.

Hua Xiong leaned on the chair, drinking tea leisurely.

After a while, Ma Teng came over with an excited expression on his face.

"Master Grand Master, a total of [-] lottery tickets have been sold today!"

Fifty thousand lottery tickets, that is a full 5000 taels of silver!

It completely exceeded the total sales of the previous few days. How could this not excite Ma Teng?

Hua Xiong was not particularly surprised, all this was within his expectation.

The reason why the previous batches of lottery tickets were hard to sell was entirely because Ma Teng hadn't done a good job of publicizing them, and didn't let the common people experience the thrill of getting rich overnight.

That's why he specially held a show in the square today.

"Grand Master, my subordinates' admiration for you is like a torrential river, and it's like the Yellow River flooding out of control."

Ma Teng frantically flatters Hua Xiong.

"Okay, stop flattering me. Don't slack off in the next few days."

"Continue to arrange employees to promote the lottery in the entire Chang'an City. Every time the lottery is drawn, we must arrange a few tickets, so as to enhance the atmosphere, understand?"

Hua Xiong exhorted.

"understand."

Ma Teng nodded repeatedly.

The number of buyers in the early stage was small, so in order to arouse the enthusiasm of the public, Hua Xiong had to arrange entrustment.

When there are more people buying in the later stage, these methods will not be needed.

Hua Xiong is not satisfied that the lottery is limited to Chang'an City.

As long as it is promoted to Yongzhou and Liangzhou, there will be a steady stream of capital chains.

Hua Xiong got a lot of ballpoint pens by lottery before, and they can be used for almost decades.

The lottery numbers are written with a ballpoint pen.

With the level of the Three Kingdoms period, it is obviously impossible to fake ballpoint pens.

So Hua Xiong didn't worry about fraudulent lottery tickets at all.
