After Xiao He left, Zhang Han excitedly picked up the phone and dialed the palace. He excitedly explained the situation without waiting for a moment.
Wang Ben on the other side of the phone also lit up with interest after hearing this.
I have been losing bets for half my life, but I can really win this time.
Then he contacted Feng Quji and Meng Tian, and the four of them made an appointment to visit the palace the next day!
Normally, the morning pilgrimage ends at 6:00 p.m.
In order to enter the palace as soon as possible after the morning court, a few old guys had dinner early, and Tatsuki was waiting outside the palace gate!
Unexpectedly, there were many things reported by the ministers today, and it was not until the end of the hour that they went to court!
When they saw the first minister leaving the palace, Wang Ben and others immediately entered the palace!
After some briefing, I successfully met Ying Feiyu!
"A few old ministers are...?"
Seeing several people entering the palace together, Ying Feiyu was quite confused.
Since their retirement, they would never enter the palace without Zhao, let alone enter the palace together!
Could something big happen?
"Your Majesty! We heard that the DPRK is going to conduct a census?"
Zhang Han rubbed his hands and asked with a smile on his face.
"That's right, your information is quite good!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and nodded.
The reason why today's morning meeting was delayed for a long time was that in addition to matters reported by officials, many matters related to the census were also discussed!
In order to speed up the progress, in addition to sending a large number of manpower from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the full cooperation of officials from various places is also needed!
"We heard that His Majesty has a bet with Lao Meng and Lao Kang?"
"Do you even know this?"
What was decided after yesterday's morning meeting, a few old guys showed up early today, which was too fast.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Xiao He revealed this when he came to my house yesterday to inquire about the census method!"
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhang Han quickly explained, "I know, then they must also know, hehe...!"
"Is it possible that you entered the palace today to participate in the gambling game?"
A few old guys are so lazy that they are not even willing to re-employ, and they are even less likely to help participate in the census.
Then there is only one purpose left, which is to participate in the gambling and join in the fun!
"Your Majesty is wise...!"
Wang Bi, Zhang Han, Chun Yuyue and Feng Quji all held their hands with a sly smile on their faces.
"Your Majesty, no one can control this population bet! We both win and lose half, we all rely on our ability!"
"Yes! This time is the fairest!"
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you reject us just because your chances of winning are reduced...?"
A few old guys said one word to each other and didn't give him a chance to refuse.
However, Ying Feiyu never thought of refusing.
Why wouldn't he want the money delivered to his door?
"Just rest assured, old ministers, I will never refuse!"
Ying Feiyu smiled.
"That's good, haha! We are here today to break the myth that His Majesty will win every time he gambles!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, please don't forget that a certain person was once the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he has some understanding of the population growth rate!"
Wang Ben and Zhang Han spoke one after another.
"It doesn't matter...!"
Ying Feiyu smiled indifferently and didn't take it to heart at all, "Since you can come, you must know the rules!"
After waving his hand, Mingde immediately understood and sent the pen and paper to several people, "Ask a few old monks to write down the population number. When the census is completed, the one with the closest number will win!"
"Okay! Haha...!"
Several people were estimating this number last night, and they thought about it secretly on the way here, and they already have a certain number.
Grab a pen and just write down a number!
Write your name on the paper and send it directly to Xiao He from the Ministry of Revenue by the guard!
"How much do you want to bet?"
Ying Feiyu didn't care about the numbers they wrote down, but the bets they made.
"I heard that Meng Yi deposited 200,000 gold. As the head of the state, I can't be less than him! I'll deposit 300,000 gold!"
Wang Ben had a rough voice and laughed arrogantly.
"what about you?"
After Ying Feiyu smiled and nodded, he looked at the other people.
"Lao Wang has said so, so and so must have this number! So and so also deposited 300,000 yuan! Haha!"
In fact, this is the ideal number in Zhang Han's mind.
As long as you can win this one, your Majesty will lose three to one, and you will get a small amount of one million gold.
After the tigress at home found out, no matter what she said, she would not give him three days' leave and give him tens of thousands of gold and pocket money?
"This is Mr. and Mrs.'s last gambling game, and Mr. and Mrs. also bet 300,000 gold! If I still lose, I will chop off my hand if I ever gamble again!"
Chunyu Yue also became cruel.
If he can't win at all, it proves that he really doesn't have the guts to gamble!
"I'm the only one left, and I can't be independent, right? Let's deposit 300,000 yuan!"
Meng Yi also followed suit and placed a bet.
In this way, not counting Han Xin and the other young ones, these six old guys alone totaled 1.5 million gold!
It’s enough to build a long road!
"Several ministers have followed me over the years, and they have indeed lost a lot of bets...!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and nodded, and continued: "Let's do this! As long as one of the six ministers wins this time, even if you win, I will pay you three for one! How about it?"
"What……?"
Several old guys couldn't believe their ears when they heard the sound.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Originally the chance of winning was half for one person, but now the six of them together must be 9 out of 10 sure!
It's impossible for six people to guess the numbers, and none of them are reliable, right?
"Your Majesty? Are you serious?"
Wang Ben opened his mouth in disbelief.
"Have I ever said empty words after we have known each other for so many years?"
Ying Feiyu leaned on the chair, shook his legs leisurely, and said casually.
"Together, we are worth 4.5 million gold. Has Your Majesty thought about it?"
Zhang Han's wishful thinking was the quickest and he accurately calculated the figures to be paid.
"What? Does your father-in-law think that I can't afford the money?"
Ying Feiyu asked instead without answering.
"That's not true! Your Majesty makes a lot of money every day. This money is just a drop in the bucket!"
"Then don't we just cut it off?"
"But your Majesty, isn't it obvious that he is losing? What's the difference between it and giving us the money directly?"
At this time, Zhang Han was not only happy, but also regretful.
Why did you just say the figure of 300,000 gold in such a cowardly manner?
If you deposit one million gold, you can get three million gold in no time!
It’s enough for the children and grandchildren in the family to spend half their lives!
"Don't be too confident, ministers! Who said you will definitely win? I also wrote down the population number and placed my bet on Xiao He! I also have a chance of winning!"
These old guys are very good at planning and actually want to take the money directly.
Is his money so easy to make?
"Your Majesty, we really relied on luck this time. Is it possible that His Majesty's luck is better than the six of us put together?"
Meng Yi no longer believed in this evil.
"Well! This is really hard to say!"
Ying Feiyu curled his lips.
"Your Majesty, just to be on the safe side, let's sign a document first!"
"Haha! I'm just afraid that I won't admit it if I lose the bet! No problem!"
Ying Feiyu agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
After a while, Zhang Han drafted a document, and everyone signed and stamped it.
Looking at this document, these old guys were so beautiful that they even began to imagine how they would spend the money after they got it!
