Chapter 62 Daye Charity Lottery
When we came to the Buddhist hall again, the black-clothed monk seemed to have guessed that he would come and was waiting here early.
"The two men were arrested, and one of them was cut into a human pig and thrown at the gate of the palace!" Zhu Di said: "Who do you think it is?"
The monk who was chanting sutras opened his eyes, "Theoretically speaking, it is most likely to be King Wu!"
Zhu Di frowned, "If he had this ability, would he still come to beg me?"
"So, King Qin and King Jin are the most likely!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's face looked better, "I think so too, the most likely one is the third child!"
Jin Wang Zhu Gang has been his sworn enemy since childhood.
He has been suppressed and bullied since he was a child.
“Flowers are not flowers, mist is not mist, the most likely is not necessarily the main culprit, and the least likely is not necessarily innocent.
The poor monk actually thinks that King Qin is more likely!"
Zhu Di was silent for a long time.
It can be seen from the royal titles given by the father to them, which one he loves more.
The second child is Qin, the third child is Jin, and he is just Yan.
They are all just concubines.
He was really puzzled that even Zhu Jun could have the title of Wu.
Qin was in Chang'an and Jin was in Bingzhou.
My father has the ambition to dominate the world. Even if the great cause only occupies one third of the world now, and Qin and Jin are still on the side of the great Zhou, in his eyes, the world will come back sooner or later.
"The second child? But the third child is the strongest after the eldest brother. Father has always wanted him to conquer Chang'an!" Zhu Di said.
"Now is not the time to discuss this matter. The most important thing is that we need to find out why he cut people into pigeons and threw them at the gate of the palace?" The monk analyzed: "The poor monk felt that it should be a warning.
Since he didn't show up, we might as well finalize the ancestral tomb case as soon as possible. Even if the other party threatens us with this matter, it's doubtful whether His Majesty will believe it."
Zhu Di nodded, "I want to implement this matter as soon as possible, but I always feel uneasy."
"Your Highness is afraid that the person behind you is His Majesty?"
"good!"
Zhu Di regretted it now. If he had dealt with these two people earlier, he would not have been so passive. "Only my father would be so ruthless. After all, the Imperial Guard is not a vegetarian!"
"It's unlikely, but it's worth vigilance." The monk sighed, "This case is getting more and more difficult!"
...
At this time, Zhu Jun got up before dawn. He had made an agreement with Li Yanxi yesterday to get up early to study and then to help the victims.
By the time I finished reading, it was already bright.
After the two had breakfast, they went out together.
However, when I went out, I saw Li Wanqiu, who was managing the victims there at the moment, "Let the older people come forward first, and the younger ones wait."
Children line up separately and will be served first!”
Hehe, this woman is pretty good.
As if sensing the strangeness of others, Li Wanqiu turned around and said to Zhu Jun unnaturally: "I don't live and eat for free!"
Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Senior sister, when you don't make excuses, you're pretty good!"
"No, I will definitely beat you in the argument!" Li Wanqiu said.
"It's up to you." Zhu Jun shrugged and left with Li Yanxi immediately.
Not long after, a group of people came to a prosperous shop.
This prosperous shop has four or five rooms side by side. It used to be a cloth shop, and all the cloth inside was finished by Zhu Jun.
The furniture, tables and stools inside were made by Zhu Jun who had the old carpenters in the palace work overnight.
"What are we doing here?" Li Yanxi was confused.
Zhu Jun pointed to the plaque above his head.
Li Yanxi looked at it, "Daye Charity Lottery?"
"Yes." Zhu Jun nodded.
"I understand this charity, but what is a lottery ticket?" Li Yanxi frowned deeply.
"Sir, this can be understood as a bet!" Zhu Jun explained the gameplay of the charity lottery.
Li Yanxi couldn't help but take a breath, "Are you going to let the whole people participate?"
"Yes, all men, women and children, as long as they have four correct digits, will be rewarded. If they win all of them, it will be the first prize.
If there are one hundred thousand taels in the prize pool, and you win one bet, it will be one thousand taels of silver. One more bet will be one thousand taels more!
One lottery ticket, two Daye Tongbao, plus one bet and two coins, the maximum bet is one hundred, not exceeding the prize pool amount."
Li Yanxi gritted her teeth and said: "You have played too much. If you do this, wouldn't you be teaching the people to gamble?
If it arises, it will definitely become popular and cause great harm!"
“Sir, Cuju is a national sport, but can gambling be banned?
Cockfighting, dogfighting, cricket fighting, can this be banned?
I set the price of a lottery ticket at two Tongbao. Even if the person buys one lottery ticket every day, it will only be worth 700 Daye Tongbao in a year. Will it make him bankrupt or make him sell his son and daughter?
For real gamblers, even if there is no lottery, there is still gambling, cockfighting and dogfighting.
Besides, this is a charity lottery, and all the profits I make will be invested in the relief of the victims.
Even if you don't win the lottery, the money will eventually fall into the hands of the victims. Isn't this a good deed?
Isn’t it a good thing if, besides doing good deeds, you can also hope to win a generous reward and improve your family life?”
Li Yanxi was speechless for a long time. He stared at Zhu Jun and said, "Your Highness, let me buy this first bet!"
Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, no one can compete with you for this first bet."
"But I have a question, what if someone takes advantage of the loophole?"
"Sir, are you afraid that someone will forge your lottery tickets?"
"right!"
"Don't worry, my lottery tickets can't be easily counterfeited by anyone."
Daye did not have movable type printing, nor did it issue banknotes.
Take the Ming Dynasty in another world. The Ming Dynasty banknotes issued during the Hongwu period, although depreciated, contain imitations.
The first is the control of banknote materials, which are not circulated among the people.
Secondly, exquisite engraving technology is used to make it difficult for forgers to engrave it as it is.
Finally, anti-counterfeiting technology is added to the banknote seal.
There are two red official seals on the front of the Ming Dynasty banknotes, one is "the seal of the Ming Dynasty banknotes" and the other is "the seal of the treasure banknote lifting department"; there are also two seals on the back, namely the red official seal "the seal of the Bureau of Printing Bao banknotes"
and currency value printed in ink.
The seal also has anti-counterfeiting marks.
Zhu Jun can do all of these, and not only that, he can also prepare special anti-counterfeiting ink.
Finally, write a special number on the lottery ticket. If you win, find the corresponding deposit book according to the lottery number, match the number, and the prize can be issued.
Seeing Zhu Jun so confident, Li Yanxi also nodded.
"Xiao Jiji, take people on a parade throughout the city, beat gongs and drums as you go, and tell them that if we spend two Tongbao here, they can win a grand prize of ten thousand taels!" Zhu Jun said.
Li Jiba nodded and waved, and hundreds of soldiers walked out uniformly.
Each of them holds a big loudspeaker in their hand.
Chapter completed!
