Li Shimin couldn't help but asked with concern: "Yin'er, have you thought of any good ideas?"
Li Min couldn't help but chuckle, and then said to Li Shimin: "Father, once this method comes out, not only will the money for disaster relief be available, but it will also be a good way to increase Datang's tax revenue in the future. After using this method,
Datang's annual tax revenue can be increased by at least 30%!"
After hearing what Li Min said, Li Shimin was shocked.
Can Datang's tax revenue increase by at least 30% a year?
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but said with a straight face: "Yin'er, this is absolutely impossible! Increasing the people's taxes can certainly raise money in a short period of time, but it will also greatly increase the burden on the people. This is the subjugation of the country.
What a disaster!"
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Min couldn't help but said in shock: "Father, how could it be possible? We are making money from the rich!"
Um?
After hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin realized that things didn't seem to be what he thought.
Eighty percent of the time, I misunderstood it.
Li Shimin quickly asked: "Yin'er, please tell me carefully, how do you make money from rich people?"
Li Min couldn't help but said: "Father, we can open a lottery department, which will be directly controlled by father. This lottery department will print lottery tickets and then set up various outlets to sell them."
"A set of seven numbers is printed on the face of this lottery ticket, and the outside is papered. After you buy the lottery ticket, you can only see the numbers inside by unwrapping the paper on the outside."
"For example, it can be determined as, if the seven numbers above are all consistent, it will be the first prize, with a bonus of five million yuan. If six numbers are consistent, it will be the second prize, with a bonus of one million yuan. Five numbers
If the four numbers are consistent, it will be the third prize with a bonus of 10,000 yuan. If the four numbers are consistent, it will be the fourth prize with a bonus of 10,000 yuan. If the three numbers are consistent, it will be the third prize with a bonus of 10 yuan."
"Then, we can sell each lottery ticket for ten cents. And the winning rate of the lottery ticket can be set to 20%. In other words, if we sell one million, we can make a profit of 800,000. Calculate and remove
The cost of sales at various outlets is at least 500,000 yuan in profit."
"Father, think about it, once this kind of lottery is spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, won't the annual tax revenue be increased by at least 30%?"
After Li Min's explanation, Li Shimin finally understood the meaning of this lottery game.
With just ten cents, you can win the first prize of five million dollars!
I believe there will be countless people flocking to it!
Once this kind of lottery is issued, countless people will definitely flock to it.
By then, Datang's tax revenue may not only increase by 30%, but may even increase by 40% to 50%.
This is definitely a huge attraction for Li Shimin.
But after thinking for a while, Li Shimin still shook his head and said: "This method is inappropriate."
Li Min couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Father, why is this wrong?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "If this is done, wouldn't it encourage people to gamble? If this is done, wouldn't it mean that all the people are gambling? This is absolutely unacceptable!"
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Min couldn't help but ask: "Father, the question is, if you don't open the lottery, will those who like to gamble stop gambling?"
"As for the so-called 10 gambles and 9 frauds, how many gamblers have been deceived by casinos and lost all their money? Compared with them, at least we will not cheat people. Moreover, through this matter, we can vigorously suppress those casinos."
After listening to Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but think deeply, but finally said: "Min'er, your method may be good. But even if it is above the court, it will definitely not pass. Don't do this.
Let’s not mention it again.”
Well, that's true.
The chance of this kind of thing passing through the court is really very low.
If others don't tell me, I'm afraid Wei Zheng won't be able to pass the test at all.
However, Li Shimin continued: "But this time, for the sake of the victims, we can hold it once. I will leave this matter to you."
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Min couldn't help but nodded.
…
Next, Li Min found Wang Xiaotong and asked Wang Xiaotong to look at these primary school students.
With Wang Xiaotong around, Li Min felt relieved.
Then, Li Min started busy printing lottery tickets.
Because it can only be done once, there is no need to be so formal.
Li Min decided that this time, he would just print those little animals on the lottery tickets.
Li Min decided that the first prize would have a unicorn printed on it, and the prize would be five million yuan.
The second prize has a tiger printed on it and a bonus of one million yuan.
The third prize has a leopard printed on it and a bonus of 100,000 yuan.
The fourth prize has a panda printed on it and a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
The fifth prize has a cow printed on it and a bonus of one thousand yuan.
The sixth prize has a golden rooster printed on it and a bonus of ten cents.
The price of each lottery ticket is still ten cents a piece.
As for why there are no dragons and phoenixes, this is too taboo.
Even if Li Mingui is the prince, he is not willing to cause more trouble on this matter.
However, since you are playing a lottery, you must guard against others cheating.
Li Min used paper produced by his own printing factory to print the lottery tickets.
This kind of paper is not currently available on the market.
If you want to commit fraud, this is the first threshold.
Of course, this threshold alone is not considered insurance.
Li Min decided to add an anti-counterfeiting mark to the awards above the fifth prize.
As for the sixth prize, buying one requires ten cents anyway, and the winning bonus is only ten cents.
If someone really wants to make a fake, then go ahead and make it.
Now that the printing is done, the next thing is publicity.
Li Min first went outside the city to find more than 10,000 people in 11 villages, plus those people who were affected by the disaster in the city, and decided to use them as the staff of this lottery.
Each family in these eleven villages has one person, so there are thousands of people.
The treatment for these people is one hundred cents per person per day, and they are also provided with food and housing.
Hearing this kind of treatment, all the villagers understood that it was King Liang who was taking care of them.
For one hundred cents a day, even if you don't have food, you can recruit at least fifty people.
Moreover, His Highness Prince Liang also promised.
All the money earned from this gambling will be used to help them rebuild their homes.
This will make these people even more grateful.
Many people spontaneously went to help.
In fact, the early publicity simply did not require so many people.
But in this way, the propaganda momentum will be even greater.
…
After Li Min advertised twice, advertising gradually became popular in Chang'an City.
Because everyone has discovered that this method of publicity is really effective.
However, this directly led to the proliferation of psoriasis in Chang'an City.
