"Do you have anything to do with me?"
Ying Feiyu pouted, complained to the old guys, and walked towards the imperial study together.
Normally, the veterans should head outside the palace at this time.
Now that we are here, we must be looking for him for something!
"The lottery went on sale yesterday. Does Your Majesty know how grand the bank is? Almost everyone in the city went!"
Kang Anping looked around and made sure there were no outsiders, then he spoke vividly.
They have nothing to do, they just want to report the good news to His Majesty!
Xianyang is like this, even if the number of people in other counties is small, it is still not too small!
"You guys went too?"
Ying Feiyu opened his mouth and asked with a smile.
"On the first day the lottery went on sale, we definitely wanted to go! But it was just after dawn, and when we arrived, the bank was already surrounded, and even the nearby streets were full of people and crowded. I can’t even squeeze in!”
"Yes! We waited in line for most of the day, but the crowd didn't even move, so we had no choice but to leave!"
"It's probably the same situation today. We don't even plan to go! We didn't start queuing up at dawn. We can't buy it at all. Don't even think about it...!"
After entering the imperial study room, the old guys started chatting more and more enthusiastically.
"Your Majesty, can you open a back door for us? Let us also buy a few lottery tickets to enjoy ourselves?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We also want to try our luck! If we really win the jackpot, all the ten thousand gold will be used as a treat!"
The two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian spoke one after another.
"Good guy, let me treat you all with 10,000 gold? How much do you need to eat?"
Ying Feiyu smiled helplessly.
"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. We can save it and eat it later. It doesn't have to be spent all at once!"
Meng Tian explained with a smile.
"That's true...!"
Ying Feiyu nodded, "Write down the number you want to buy, and I will order someone to hand it over to the shopkeeper later!"
Although Wang Ben and others are shareholders of the bank, they only have the right to wait for dividends and have no management rights, let alone go to the bank to issue special orders.
Therefore, to buy lottery tickets, you have to come to Ying Feiyu.
With the current popularity of lottery, it won’t be popular for a few months.
During this period, they wanted to buy lottery tickets, but it was more difficult than reaching the sky!
"Hey, thank you, Your Majesty!"
The veterans quickly handed over their hands to express their gratitude.
"But... there's no need to write, we're all ready, hehe!"
Zhang Han smiled flatteringly and took out a piece of paper from his arms, with a dense series of numbers written on it.
Immediately afterwards, other veterans also took out the numbers they had prepared and handed them to Mingde with a smile, and Mingde passed them to Ying Feiyu.
Looking at those dense numbers, Ying Feiyu was helpless, "Are the ministers here prepared?"
Among the old guys, the one with the fewest numbers is his father-in-law Wang Ben, with about thirty sets of numbers.
Meng Tian and Meng Yi are about fifty or sixty years old.
Kang Anping and Chunyu Yue were seventy or eighty years old.
The most outrageous one is Zhang Han, who has two hundred numbers.
"Zhang Shangshu, what about it?"
After looking at several people's numbers, Ying Feiyu almost laughed out loud.
With so many sets of numbers, it would take a while even for the ticket seller to register them on the lottery ticket.
"How many ministers have rich families, why are they thinking about the grand prize of 10,000 gold?"
Ten thousand gold is indeed a very huge number for ordinary people.
The salary of a prime-age labor force is only a hundred gold pieces a year.
You have to work for a hundred years without eating or drinking to save up to 10,000 gold!
You can imagine how much wealth this is!
This is the result of the continuous increase in salary after Ying Feiyu arrived.
If it were in the past, if the whole family didn't eat or drink, they wouldn't be able to earn ten thousand gold in a hundred years!
Therefore, once the lottery tickets are released, people will go crazy to buy them!
First, you can donate your strength to those orphans, and second, you can also give yourself a chance to get rich!
As long as you win the big prize, you will be in trouble!
But this amount of money is simply a piece of cake for today’s veterans.
According to Ying Feiyu's estimate, each of these old guys now has at least several million gold in his family, and if more, tens of millions of gold, they still care about this small amount of money!
The reason why I wrote so many sets of numbers is probably to increase the chance of winning!
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong! We don't buy lottery tickets for money, but purely to contribute to the orphanage...!"
Wang Ben said seriously, and then suddenly changed into a smile, "Hey! Of course, if you can win, it will definitely be better!"
"Yes, we are just trying our luck! See if we have a chance of winning!"
Zhang Han also nodded repeatedly.
"Haha! Okay! I will order someone to send it to the lottery station later. The lottery will be drawn tomorrow night. If you don't win, just wait!"
Since a few old guys want to try their luck, Ying Feiyu will definitely satisfy them. It's not a big deal anyway.
"Your Majesty, won't you come and place some bets?"
"Not coming!"
Ying Feiyu refused without even thinking.
There are more than 1.1 million combinations of two-color balls, and he doesn't think he can choose the grand prize among these more than 1.1 million combinations!
It would be great if you can hit a special number!
Of course, he didn't say this to the veterans because he didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm!
In later generations, someone will win the Shuangseqiu grand prize in almost every issue, but he doesn't think he has such good luck!
"By the way, do you know how much lottery sales were yesterday?"
Ying Feiyu suddenly remembered this matter.
"How many?"
The interest of the veterans was instantly heightened.
"Four hundred thousand gold!"
This time, Ying Feiyu didn't show off, he stretched out four fingers and waved them in front of a few old guys.
"Four hundred thousand gold? Did I hear you correctly? You sold so much just yesterday?"
Wang Ben's Adam's apple kept rolling and he swallowed, as if he couldn't believe this number.
"That's right! The bank manager sent me a telegram last night after sorting out the results reported from various places!"
Looking at the shocked expressions of the veterans, Ying Feiyu smiled proudly.
"Good guy! This number is more than double our previous expectation!"
"According to this figure, just one month is enough to cover the entire expenses of orphanages and nursing homes in Daqin for a year!"
"This is too exaggerated...!"
Several other veterans also spoke out one after another after being shocked.
"Judging from yesterday's situation, the sales of lottery stations will not be lower than this number in the recent period!"
Zhang Han guessed in surprise.
Even they couldn't buy it yesterday, let alone the people at the back.
Those who haven’t bought it will definitely not give up and will have to buy it in the next few days!
Moreover, lottery tickets are something that requires repeated consumption and must be purchased every three days.
In other words, this situation of incomplete security will continue forever!
