Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Dada Welfare Lottery."
Emperor Gan Wu was stunned: "What?"
Li Changfeng knew that Emperor Gan Wu didn't understand, so he patiently explained in detail.
"Welfare lottery is a kind of bill purchased with silver. It has a string of numbers written on it, which is a certificate for redemption. After the lottery is sold, the prize will be drawn at a fixed time."
"The way to draw a prize is to find thirty-three red balls marked with numbers and sixteen blue balls marked with numbers, and seven numbers are generated in a random way."
"If anyone's lottery numbers are consistent with the generated numbers, they will be divided into first, second and third prizes according to the same number, and the first prize is the largest of five hundred taels!"
Emperor Gan Wu looked confused: "What are you talking about?"
Helplessly, Li Changfeng explained in detail and took a full incense stick to let Emperor Gan Wu fully understand.
Then, Emperor Gan Wu's face suddenly darkened: "You are the good idea that I am going to openly gamble with you? Where can I put my face?"
Li Changfeng shouted and said, "Why is this not gambling? I have said that this is a welfare lottery, which is essentially different from gambling!"
Emperor Gan Wu said coldly: "Let's talk about it, what are the essential differences?"
Li Changfeng had already prepared a set of rhetoric and said righteously: "What are we selling lottery tickets for? It is to fill the treasury, take it from the people and use it for the people, and ultimately it is to do a big deal! Most of the profits generated in it They all entered the treasury!"
"But what about those gambling shops? The profits they generate are all put into their private pockets, which are not beneficial to the country at all, they only enrich a small number of people!"
Hearing this, Emperor Gan Wu looked thoughtful.
Li Changfeng continued: "And we don't sell lottery tickets every day. The amount of each lottery ticket is also very small. It is an entertainment act and does not constitute gambling at all! Gambling can make people lose everything, can lottery tickets?"
Hearing this, Emperor Gan Wu was a little moved.
Take it from the people and use it for the people.
This alone is a world of difference from gambling.
In addition, according to the lottery denominations explained in detail by Li Changfeng, it is indeed not easy to become addicted and will not lose everything like gambling.
However, he also had a question: "If many people win the first prize, wouldn't we be able to lose money?"
"Losing money? How is that possible!"
Li Changfeng laughed and explained: "After each lottery ticket is sold, half of the profit is taken away. After deducting the operating costs, the remaining money will be used as the prize pool funds. No matter how many people win the prize, we will make sure to make a profit. pay!"
Hearing this, Emperor Gan Wu's eyes suddenly burst into an astonishing spirit, as if it were the essence, which scared Li Changfeng.
"Mire! It's really a business that can make a profit without losing money!"
Emperor Gan Wu had already understood the rules of lottery clearly, and he was sure that there would definitely be a large number of people buying lottery tickets for the first prize of 500 taels.
Based on the cost of living for ordinary people, pay attention to letting the family live at least a few decades of food and clothing!
They don’t need to pay too much to try their luck, they only need to spend a little insignificant pocket money. Who would refuse to give it a try?
Then a 500 tael prize will be generated for each issue, which will surely stimulate more people to buy lottery tickets.
With such a cycle, it is difficult not to make money!
Seeing that Emperor Gan Wu agreed, Li Changfeng smiled and said, "At the beginning, we opened on the same day for three consecutive days. After everyone believes in us, we will open it once every four or five days from now on."
Emperor Gan Wu said in confusion: "Why don't this kind of money-making business be opened every day?"
Li Changfeng said helplessly: "How many people in the capital are? At the beginning, people will definitely not buy them so frequently after passing the novelty. It will naturally take longer, otherwise there will be so much silver in the prize pool?"
Emperor Gan Wu nodded, thought for a while, smiled, and said embarrassedly: "Does the money you mentioned in the welfare lottery will return to the national treasury?"
Emperor Gan Wu naturally hoped that the treasury would be full of great efforts, but also hoped that his own treasury would be full of. After all, he did have a large group of people to support.
But as the emperor, he was a little embarrassed to say such words, after all, the whole world belongs to him in name.
How could Li Changfeng understand his thoughts? He immediately smiled and said, "Half the net profit from the lottery is returned to the national treasury, and the other half of the sons and fathers is one cent. We don't have to pay any money or effort, so we can't lose any benefits. No one can tell the matter. Whoever dares to oppose his father will cut off anyone!"
As soon as this statement came out, Emperor Gan Wu was overjoyed.
Then I felt that it was a bit inappropriate for an emperor to show such a look, and then I sank my face.
"Emperors can't cut people around, don't talk nonsense in the future!"
Then he changed his subject and asked again: "How do we divide that half?"
Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Sanqi!"
Emperor Gan Wu smiled and said, "I'm seven and you three?"
Li Changfeng suddenly became anxious: "Father, what are you kidding? You are the seventh and threeth of your son. This is the idea that the son came up with. Without the son, you must not make a fortune, and the national treasury will have enough to run away!"
Next, the two bargained for a while and finally settled a 50-50-point account, but both of them were not satisfied and both looked calm.
Li Changfeng knew that if he had to make a difference in the account ratio, Emperor Wu would definitely go wild. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and laughed: "Father, the lottery cannot be made in a day or two, but now there is a chance to get rich immediately. Can you do it? Dry?"
Emperor Gan Wu's eyes lit up suddenly: "What opportunity?!"
Li Changfeng coughed dryly and said seriously: "There are many gambling shops open at the important part of the capital city, which will cause many people to die. If you don't check them all, wouldn't it damage your father's reputation?"
This is the first step for Li Changfeng to take action to deal with the second prince.
He had already investigated it clearly that more than half of the gambling shops in the entire capital were found by the second prince Li Shou, who earned him huge wealth.
The reason why Li Shou took such a big risk was that he was not the legitimate prince and he did not have the support of a big family like Empress Murong.
Whether it is to win over court officials or to attract customers, it requires a lot of money, so it has the most industries in the capital.
Li Changfeng first wanted to cut off his wealth and then slowly kill him to avenge his assassination.
Destroying his gambling house is just the first step.
Li Changfeng believes that after realizing the huge benefits that lottery can bring, he will never hesitate at all.
Moreover, searching the gambling house is a very profitable thing in itself.
Sure enough, Emperor Gan Wu made a quick decision and said: "Gao Dali, collect information about all gambling shops in the capital immediately, and make sure that there is no leak of information. When all gambling shops are at the best business tonight, don't let go of a piece of copper!"
Gao Dali's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he hurriedly bowed: "Don't worry, your Majesty, even if I dig three feet of the ground, I will plunder these gambling shops completely!"
Li Changfeng asked: "Father, don't you deal with the people behind the gambling house?"
Emperor Gan Wu shook his head and said, "The forces behind the gambling house are complicated, and if the methods are too ruthless, it is easy to cause trouble. Just get money."
Li Changfeng was prepared for this, and was not surprised. He tentatively said: "How to divide the money I found after searching?"
Emperor Gan Wu glared at him fiercely and said, "Did you lose money? This kind of silver can only be turned over to the treasury to make everyone shut up. I have a reason to block their mouths when I get the lottery!"
Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you have the final say, if you don't have any distinction, you won't have any distinction."
The two discussed some details about the lottery. After two hours, Li Changfeng left.
When he left, Emperor Gan Wu smiled slightly, and then gradually expanded, and laughed.
"Ha ha……"
He believed that the lottery incident could bring a lot of benefits to the Dakan Treasury in a very short time.
In this way, many of his national policies that were unable to be implemented due to insufficient money could be implemented.
It won't take long to make the big moves stronger and stronger.
On the other side.
After Li Changfeng returned to his mansion, he immediately ordered someone to prepare for the opening of the lottery store. His plan was to open the business within three days.
The equipment used for prize drawing is naturally the responsibility of the research institute personnel.
The paper used for lottery, how to make and write, and anti-counterfeiting are the people drawn by Emperor Gan Wu from the Office of the Internal Affairs.
As for the location selection and promotional marketing of the lottery store, Li Changfeng is personally responsible for it, which is the key to whether the lottery can become a hit.
It's night.
Emperor Gan Wu did not use the people from Dali Temple because he knew very well that many people in this yamen had collusions with the gambling house.
He directly mobilized the garrison troops in the capital and sent the people from the East Factory to stare at the garrison troops to prevent them from informing and filling their pockets.
Then Gao Dali personally took charge of the command, and at the same time, he launched a search operation on all the gambling shops in the capital.
Such a big noise naturally attracted the attention of many people. After learning that it was the gambling house, the people in the capital applauded.
On the contrary, after all the bosses learned the news, they were almost bleeding.
After learning the news, the second prince Li Shouzai was so distressed that he almost fainted.
After every gambling house opens at night, it will transfer a large amount of silver as a backup. After all, if the gambler is lucky and wins money, if the gambling house cannot get it out, its reputation will be ruined.
In the capital, half of the gambling shops are his, and the backup money required is simply an astronomical number.
According to the number reported by Zhao Cheng, there are a total of 100,000 taels of silver!
How can you not feel sorry for so much money?
Li Shou almost roared: "Which yamen did it? Why didn't this prince receive any news?!"
Zhao Cheng said helplessly: "It is reported that Gao Dali and Eunuch Gao were personally responsible for this matter and mobilized the garrison army in the capital. Every team was stared at by people from the East Factory. They didn't even have the chance to convey the message."
"Father?!"
Li Shou was startled, sat on the chair, muttering to himself, "It turned out to be done by the father!"
