The weather is still very hot, and Li Min rarely goes out except for teaching in elementary school recently.
There are ice cubes hanging around the house, which is very cool.
He wouldn't run out when he was fine. Once he went out, he would be so hot when he came back that he could smell the aroma of meat.
And the reconstruction work for those victims is still in full swing.
Of course, the weather is too hot, and Shangguan Yi is strictly controlling the working hours of these villagers.
Work can only be started in the morning and evening, and no work is allowed at noon.
Otherwise, these houses would have been built for the people themselves, and they would still be paid for their work.
These people wish they could work twelve hours a day without stopping.
However, in such hot weather now, if we do this, something will happen sooner or later.
Now, the first batch of new houses have been built.
Each village in this batch has about thirty or forty houses built.
In this way, more villagers can be placed inside, and the living area can be further improved.
…
At this time, several aristocratic families approached Taizong Li Shimin and asked to hold another gambling event for the victims.
The explanation of these aristocratic families is that although the reconstruction work for the victims is in full swing, the future lives of these victims are still a big problem.
Because not only were their homes destroyed, their crops were also flooded.
Even if a house is built for them, how will they live this year?
How can they farm if there is no grain for next year?
Therefore, these major aristocratic families decided to use their talents and efforts to engage in gambling again.
All the proceeds from this gambling will be used for the victims.
Officials from these major aristocratic families simply described their families as the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty. They were the saviors, and they were willing to do such things for the sake of the disaster-stricken people.
Hearing the words of these famous families, Li Shimin couldn't help but sneer.
If you really have such a kind heart, why don't you just use your own money to help the victims?
Li Shimin didn't believe that people from these aristocratic families could really have such kind hearts.
If they hold a gambling event sincerely for the victims, I would even die to believe it.
But if they don't agree, Li Shimin really can't find a reason to refuse under the slogan that they are doing everything for the victims.
And what about agreeing?
Li Shimin believed that this gambling method would become a new tool for wealthy families to make money in the future.
This is a method created by Min'er, and even I didn't dare to decide to promote it throughout the Tang Dynasty!
How could this kind of money-making tool fall into the hands of a wealthy family?
So Li Shimin summoned Li Min into the palace.
"Yin'er, under the slogan of rebuilding for the victims, the family is kindly requesting to hold gambling activities. Do you have any good countermeasures?"
Li Min couldn't help but said helplessly: "Father, I have long said that if my father can promote it throughout the Tang Dynasty in the name of the imperial court, it will definitely increase the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty by at least 50%!"
In fact, if it can really be promoted, the increase will not only be 50%? It is even unknown whether it can double.
Li Shimin couldn't help but said helplessly: "I also know that this is a good way to increase tax revenue, but unfortunately, it is impossible for this gambling to pass in the court! Not to mention others, it is impossible for people from these aristocratic families to
pass."
It is absolutely impossible for these aristocratic families to let such a good means of making money fall into the hands of the emperor. They must keep it in their own hands before they can rest assured.
Li Min couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Father, this method was actually thought up by my son. If you want to deal with aristocratic families, it is not difficult. However, you still need your father's cooperation."
Um?
Min'er actually has a solution?
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked quickly: "Min'er, if you have any solution, tell me quickly."
Li Min smiled slightly, walked two steps closer, whispered in Li Shimin's ear, and whispered his method.
After hearing Li Min's method, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, seeming to appreciate it very much.
…
More than a month after the incident, advertisements appeared in Chang'an City.
This time's advertisement was jointly launched by several major aristocratic families. It was even bigger and more sensational than Li Min's last advertisement.
This time, the advertisements were plastered almost all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
Moreover, not only Chang'an City, but also towns within dozens of miles around Chang'an City have advertised.
Several major families decided to hold another gambling event with the emperor's permission.
In this gambling event, they will prepare at least five first prizes with a bonus of five million yuan.
At least ten second prizes, with a bonus of one million yuan.
At least one hundred third prizes and a bonus of one hundred thousand dollars!
The bonuses for the first three prizes are the same as those set by King Shu last time.
But the number of awards is even greater than last time.
Judging from the advertising situation, this time, several major aristocratic families have really spent a lot of money.
Moreover, these major families promised that all proceeds from this gambling will be used for post-disaster reconstruction work for the victims.
The last gambling has completely aroused the enthusiasm of the people.
Especially when people around them win big prizes, it is a huge stimulus to their neighbors.
For example, Tofu Xishi Cuihua's house was originally a small business on Chang'an Street.
But I suddenly won a second prize with a bonus of one million yuan.
A few days after winning the second prize, the Cuihua family spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a three-seater yard on Pingkang Street, and the whole family moved in.
I heard that they still opened a shop on that street and started a serious business.
This Cuihua family is known to everyone in several streets.
There is no other way. His tofu is good and he has raised a beautiful daughter. It is difficult to become famous.
If you look at a family, you will see that everyone’s living standards are on the same level.
In fact, there are many families whose family situation is better than that of Cuihua's family.
But what now?
He suddenly became a superior person!
The gap between their families has reached heaven and earth.
How can this not make people envious, jealous and hateful!
Therefore, when I heard that this time, five days later, gambling would be held again, countless people were full of energy and decided to give it a try.
As long as you can succeed, you can make a comeback.
There are countless people who hold this view. They wish that these few days would pass in the blink of an eye and that the gambling activities would begin soon.
The several major aristocratic families who controlled all this behind the scenes couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they saw that their advertisements had achieved such good results.
At this time, they had to admire Li Min, the king of Shu, who could come up with all this.
However, all of this is just to marry into their family.
