During the lottery sales period, what people are most looking forward to is the first lottery draw.
People heard that it was held in the newly built commercial city and tried their best to go there early!
Rich people drive cars, rich families ride horse-drawn carriages, and ordinary families ride bicycles or walk!
At the same time, many wealthy men from neighboring counties took the train to Xianyang just to join in the fun. At the same time, they also wanted to see if they had won the lottery for the first time!
Early in the morning, craftsmen began to build the stage, leaving it for the lottery draw in the evening!
After the morning court, Wang Ben took thousands of guards, dressed in casual clothes, to the commercial city!
"I said Lao Wang, it's just a simple lottery. Do you want to bring so many elites?"
When Wang Ben arrived with his people, Zhang Han and others had already changed their clothes and occupied a front position.
"Of course it is necessary! Since His Majesty has entrusted this matter to me, we cannot disappoint His Majesty! We must ensure that the lottery draws smoothly!"
Wang Ben said seriously.
Then began to arrange those elites.
"You're not slow at all! You just went to order some soldiers, and then you all changed your clothes and arrived?"
After arranging everything, he stood next to the other old guys and said with a joking smile.
"Hey! Our casual clothes are all kept in the car. We change as soon as we get out of the palace gate and get in the car. Of course it comes quickly!"
"That's right! We don't want to waste time and be squeezed to the back like buying a lottery ticket!"
"Yes! I'm getting older. I can't see anything when I squeeze into the back. I can't even hear the numbers drawn. Isn't it in vain? Anyway, there's nothing going on in the court. It's better to come early and wait!"
"Yep……!"
The veterans held their stomachs out, their hands behind their backs, and patiently looked at the craftsmen who were setting up the stage in front of them.
The lottery draw time is Xu, which means they have to wait here for most of the day!
Even so, they were not the first ones to come, there were hundreds of people before them.
"The ministers came so quickly!"
"How many ministers also bought lottery tickets?"
"I also bought a few to play with, haha...!"
Immediately afterwards, the ministers of the DPRK and China arrived one after another.
After discovering Wang Bi and others, they all said hello.
"Tea...tea...a penny a cup!"
"Shaobing... delicious and crispy!"
"Telescope...you can see the winning numbers no matter how far away you are!"
"I'm selling pencils! If you buy a pencil, you'll get paper for free. It's the most convenient way to record the winning numbers!"
Sure enough, wherever there are people, there is business.
Some small merchants and hawkers were carrying burdens and shouting as they walked!
Now is the hottest time of the year. Waiting under such a strong sun will definitely make you thirsty.
There is no mineral water in this era, but it gives those selling tea an opportunity to make money!
A handful of tea leaves make a pot of tea, which costs a penny a cup. Almost everyone will buy it, and you can make a lot of money in a day!
But the disadvantage is that many vendors have thought of this, and there are quite a few vendors running back and forth selling tea!
The same goes for sesame seeds!
After standing here waiting for so long without eating a grain of rice, my stomach must not be dry. Buy a sesame seed cake and chew it, which will last for a while!
This thing is cheap and anyone can afford it!
Telescope and pencil are easier to understand.
Those standing in the back row couldn’t see the winning numbers clearly, so binoculars naturally came in handy!
You can use pen and paper to record the winning numbers and compare them to see if you have won or not!
Although it will be published in the next day's newspaper, people are anxious. Who doesn't want to know the news of his winnings as soon as possible?
After noon, Ying Feiyu, Ying Zheng, Wang Wan and others also came to watch the fun.
After realizing that there were so many mobile vendors, he couldn't help but laugh, "Father, don't say that I know how to do business in the future! Look at these vendors, which one doesn't have a keen sense of smell?"
At this time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the commercial city.
Looking at it from a distance, I saw a large area of darkness, all covered with heads!
"You kid! Fortunately, the lottery has been moved to the commercial city, otherwise, Xianyang's traffic would be paralyzed again!"
Ying Zheng curled his lips and said angrily.
"Husband, with so many people, can you hear the lottery draw?"
Under the leadership of Ying Feiyu, several people walked towards the lottery platform.
Looking at the dark crowd of people expelling from a distance, Wang Wan asked.
"Don't worry, I have arranged a secret weapon!"
Ying Feiyu smiled confidently.
"Secret weapon? Husband! Isn't this a lottery? Why did you prepare the weapon?"
Xiao Zhangxi followed closely behind them, asking cutely.
"Haha! Just wait and see!"
Ying Feiyu smiled mysteriously and did not explain much.
At this time, a simple stage had been set up, with a simple shed on the side containing more than a dozen chairs.
This area was prepared for Ying Zheng and others, but there were too many people watching at this time, so it would be difficult to squeeze in!
"Phew! You kid is so capable of causing trouble today, attracting so many people every time! What if something goes wrong? Can't we just hold the lottery and publish the winning numbers directly in the newspaper?"
It took a lot of effort to get through the crowd, and Ying Zheng kept waving his hands in an attempt to cool himself down.
"How can that be done? If the people are not allowed to bear witness, who knows if we have done something to prepare the grand prize?"
Ying Feiyu decisively refused.
The reason for this public lottery draw is to allow the people to witness with their own eyes, proving that all the prizes are drawn openly and there is no such thing as default, so as to encourage people to buy!
"That makes sense, but it's too unsafe!"
Having just emerged from the crowd, Ying Zheng was sweating profusely.
Turning around to look at the waiting crowd under the sun, I couldn’t even see the end!
If there are a few people with evil intentions among them, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Father, please rest assured. Yesterday, I ordered Marquis Tongwu to lead some people to blend in with the crowd. I guarantee there will be no problems!"
"Ah That's good!"
Hearing that Wang Ben and people from the Ministry of War were among them, Ying Zheng felt relieved.
In order not to cause a sensation among the people, they all changed their clothes and came as ordinary people.
The people's attention was focused on the stage, so no one paid attention to them at all!
"Dad! It's my dad!"
"It's true! My dad is there too!"
"father……!"
After hearing the conversation between the father and son, Wang Wan immediately searched for her father in the crowd. After a while, she found the target and exclaimed.
Zhang Jia followed her gaze and discovered her father unexpectedly.
Zhang Xi saw a familiar figure and quickly waved to say hello!
It's a pity that the scene was so noisy that their voices were drowned out just as they left their mouths!
