Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 198 Everything is ready
"How many lottery tickets have you prepared?"

"Your Highness, we prepared a total of 100 million copies, and several printing workshops worked overtime, and finally finished it."

Li Yun nodded, "Remember, these lottery tickets cannot be leaked out, one lottery ticket corresponds to one number."

"clear."

Five household officials stood opposite Li Yun, they bowed their heads slightly with a submissive expression on their faces.

Li Yun thought for a while, and then said: "At the same time, tell my subordinates, I will send Donggong soldiers to every lottery point, and anyone who tries to make small moves will be killed without mercy."

This is Li Yun's first cooperation with the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is different from the previous cooperation with Dali Temple.

We cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case, and we can find it out, or we can't find it out.

It depends on the individual's ability, and there are relatively few interest disputes.

But this time is different, if someone from the household department writes a number secretly, and this number wins the lottery, then Li Yun will lose a lot.

So at that time, not only will there be ledgers every day, but also there will be special personnel to check them every day.

When all the ledgers go wrong, someone has to be held accountable.

As much as possible to reduce the behavior of stealing winning tickets.

Li Yun nodded, and then left, leaving a few household officials staring.

"Hey, there are only 50 people in Chang'an. The imperial court wants us to guarantee a turnover of 200 million yuan, but how is it possible for each person to buy four bets?"

"Yeah, I also think His Highness's attempt this time is unreliable, but what can I do?"

"Forget it. Anyway, His Highness is willing, so let's stay with him. Anyway, the Ministry of Finance has been very busy these days. Now that we are doing this, we can still rest."

In fact, not only the princes of the imperial court, but even the officials of the household department have no confidence. They don't believe that there are so many people in Chang'an who are willing to buy this welfare lottery.

……

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully clocking in, rewarding the host with advanced knowledge and specialization in coal mines."

A huge amount of information came into Li Yun's brain, all of which were knowledge and experience related to coal mining.

Li Yun believes that as long as he is given time, he will be able to find coal, and then build coal mines for safe and effective mining.

At that time, it will be able to generate income for the court.

Of course, he is busy working on the welfare lottery now, so he has no time to work on this coal mine for the time being.

Today is the day when the Welfare Lottery opens in West Market, and he will be there to supervise it.

He then got up to wash up and then worked out with the soldiers.

An hour later, Li Yun brought people to a nearby store in Xishi.

This store is very large, about [-] square meters, and has three floors. Except for the entrance and exit on both sides, the other places are blocked by a row of long tables.

People outside can't enter inside, they just buy lottery tickets outside the table.

On the other side of the table, there are officials dispatched from the household department, and these people will issue lottery tickets.

In the previous life, lottery tickets were written directly by computers or printers.

But now there is no such technology, only artificial.

Each lottery ticket has a code, and a sentence or the name of the buyer will be recorded at the same time.

It is equivalent to the SMS password of later generations.

In this way, even if someone prints the exact same lottery ticket, if he does not know the name, or the sentence left behind, it is useless.

As for the occurrence of two identical lottery tickets, it will naturally be handed over to Jingzhao Prefecture for trial.

Behind every official of the household department, there is another official belonging to the Eastern Palace, who will check and check the ledger made by the person in front.

Everyone who finds bugs will be rewarded.

And behind the officials of the Eastern Palace, there is a circle of officials. These people belong to the imperial palace, and they are all eunuchs. Their task is also to check and inspect.

Li Yun uses three different types of people in order to prevent self-stealing behavior as much as possible.

For the lottery sales this time, the Ministry of Households is responsible for printing lottery tickets. All lottery tickets have codes. There are no lottery tickets with the same code, and each code is a lottery ticket.

Then the guards of Donggong and Hubu will escort the lottery tickets to the lottery station, and then sell them at the lottery station.

When ordinary people come to buy lottery tickets, they need to provide their names and a secret phrase they know.

The officials of the household department write the number and register the secret language, and then the officials of the East Palace and the eunuchs of the Palace will review and inspect it.

The last thing is to draw the winning numbers two days later in front of the Xishi Gate Tower.

Then there is the prize redemption link, where you need to answer your name and your own password.

This link is also supervised by the officials of the household department, the officials of the East Palace, and the eunuchs of the palace at the same time, and finally the prize is awarded.

It's actually very simple to say, the most important thing is how to convince the common people that they can win by buying lottery tickets.

Li Yun and Xiao Yu had long arranged for people to spread rumors in Chang'an, saying that buying lottery tickets could make a fortune, and they had a chance to win [-] yuan.

But after all, it is a rumor, and it is said that there have been rumors against the lottery in Chang'an recently.

It is said that if you buy it once, you will buy it for life. This thing is taxation.

In addition, officials will not redeem the prizes, will swallow up the lottery tickets of the common people, and will rob the common people of their bonuses.

These two points are still very fatal. After all, the lottery is a start-up, and the common people used to deal with the court, either by paying taxes or filing lawsuits.

Now that there is a lottery, everyone doesn't believe it.

Many people feel that this is another tax payment.

The other is distrust of officials. In ancient times, common people actually believed that the emperor was a good man and a saint, but most of them held an attitude of distrust for lowly officials.

This is a bit difficult to understand, after all, such a concept cannot be changed overnight.

So when the rumors spread, more people were not optimistic about the welfare lottery.

Just yesterday at the Great Court Meeting, some officials stopped the welfare lottery even before it started.

If it wasn't for Li Yun's strong foundation, his previous reputation, and Li Er's trust, then the world's first welfare lottery might have died before it came out.

A few days ago, posters have been put up at the gates of various districts, or at the gates of the city, telling everyone about the Welfare Lottery.

There are also a lot of people in West Market today, but I don't know how many people will buy it.

In fact, it was the first time after all, and the time given by the court was also the first time.

If the imperial court had given more time, and when the prizes were given out, and someone claimed the prizes, the situation might have been better at that time.

Of course, Li Yun is not a fool, he has actually made some arrangements, and we will see if the tourists in the West Market will be fooled later.

Not long after, a group of guards escorted a carriage over, the door opened, and Fang Yiyu led a group of maids into the lottery shop.

"Brother Yun, how is the situation?"

Li Yun nodded with a smile, "The flow of people in West Market is good today, but it seems that no one came here specifically to buy lottery tickets."

Fang Yiyu naturally knew about Li Yun, she sighed and comforted: "It's okay, our lottery tickets will definitely sell well."
