Xiao Yi Zhengshi Hall, he said to Di Yan: "The impact of this year's floods in the two river basins is much smaller than before, which shows that our flood control strategy has no problems and has withstood the test of floods."
"This is a major project that will benefit eternity. We can't rush it, but we can't slack off either."
"Water reduction dams, reservoirs, and canals must be built to last hundreds of years."
"Don't build it this year, just leave it alone this year."
Di Yan stood up and said: "Your Highness, this is exactly what happened. I have also arranged for people to conduct inspections. Officials from the Yushitai and the Ministry of Civil Affairs have also monitored and inspected both openly and secretly."
"General Manager Chen is also an expert in water control. He is honest and has very strict requirements when it comes to water control."
"With Mr. Chen here, we should be able to achieve certain results in water control of the two rivers."
"Your Highness, you can rest assured."
Next to him, Yu Yunwen, the director of the Water Transport Department who is now in charge of the Daqian Water Transport, that is, the inland water transport, said: "Your Highness, this water transport has existed since ancient times. Liujiatai is located at the confluence of Yongji Canal, Hutuo River and Luhe River and flows into the sea. The only way for Yan to transport food and wages is called "Sanhui Haikou"."
"It was only later that due to the founding of the Northern Yan Kingdom and successive years of war, Sanhui Haikou lost its function of transshipment between the north and the south."
"Now the Yongji Canal, Hutuo River and Luhe River in Liujiatai should be renovated and expanded to allow the goods of the Andong Protectorate to be better transported to the Central Plains."
"Nowadays, the Anton Protectorate is vigorously opening up wasteland, and many greenhouses have been built on the black soil."
"In the future, the Anton Protectorate will become an important place for vegetable production in Daqian. This water transportation must be improved first so that the vegetables from the Anton Protectorate can be transported to the capital in the future."
Di Yan also stood up and said: "Your Highness, food is the most important thing for the people, and I agree with it. We must reduce expenditures, slow down the construction of the cement road to the Anxi Protectorate, and expand the Yongji Canal to connect the Andong Protectorate. "
Xiao Yi said: "You don't have to cry for poverty like this. We all know that Daqian got some money in Japan, but I can tell you now that all of it was used to restore production in the Anxi Protectorate, retired disabled soldiers and On the construction of the Andong Protectorate and the Anbei Protectorate."
"So, not to mention the national treasury, Gu's wife is also going to be empty. But even so, the cement roads of Anxi Protectorate, Anbei Protectorate, and Andong Protectorate have to be repaired, and the Yongji Canal also needs to be repaired. Expansion.”
"As for money, Gu has now thought of a way."
"You don't have to fight anymore."
Dai Guang and others were embarrassed for a moment, and everyone understood it tacitly.
Speak the truth.
Or there are just too many big projects nowadays.
There are so many of them sitting in the official offices of the capital, they are so busy every day that they almost feel dizzy.
I had never thought that being a minister would be so tiring.
I have to do something.
Every day, the official documents handed in from the subordinates, the notes and tasks from the prince, the progress of major projects, local stability, etc., all need to be handled by them, they need to make decisions, and they need them. To supervise.
Xiao Yi continued: "I plan to hold another event. This project is called lottery."
"Common people buy an account from a business in various places, and then..."
good.
Xiao Yi plans to get the lottery ticket.
This thing.
It is really the best way to make money reasonably.
This is a better means than national debt.
Treasury bonds also pay interest.
As for the lottery, it is completely robbing money from the people.
That is legal gambling.
The starting price is five copper coins.
Can raise bets.
Xiao Yi was responsible for writing out the serial number and then making it known to the world.
The redemption period is one month.
Void upon expiration.
The person who won the prize.
You can go to major stores around the world to redeem your prizes.
This is the only way for ordinary people to become rich directly overnight.
The officials' eyes widened when they heard this.
He looked at His Highness the Crown Prince in disbelief, unable to imagine that such a national policy came out of his mouth.
After listening.
It actually seems feasible.
Just five copper coins.
If you win, you can directly gain a lot of wealth.
And rich people, do they care about five copper coins?
not give a damn about.
If a person without money buys it once, will he buy it a second time?
maybe.
You may also go bankrupt as a result.
This kind of national policy.
If you say yes, it is indeed very good. It can make a poor person rich with a very small chance.
Not only that, the court can also collect a lot of money to support the construction of major projects.
It has reasonable compliance and does not touch the interests of wealthy people such as nobles and merchants.
After all, it’s not like the imperial court is forcing you to buy lottery tickets.
However, there are also disadvantages.
It is also possible that some gamblers will lose their money and their wives and children.
For a while.
The censor Zhongcheng Fangxuan lowered his head and pondered.
He was thinking about the pros and cons.
As for its own advantages and disadvantages, Xiao Yi has actually made it very clear.
This thing has more advantages than disadvantages.
Fang Xuan just thought about it for a while, then immediately stood up and asked about the rules in detail.
The same goes for Di Yan and others.
Although they are now about to become Xiao Yi's fanatical followers, they will still be cautious about such big things.
It’s not that it’s not supported.
Rather, it is necessary to make improvements based on the national policy proposed by Xiao Yi and based on the current situation of Daqian.
It is also good that the lottery project will not cause too much trouble after it is launched.
For example, how to prove that he bought the lottery ticket.
For example, what if he buys a lottery ticket and wins a prize, but when he wants to redeem his prize, he is coerced by a local business and robs him directly, so that he can claim the prize as a member of his family?
for example…….
After all, Daqian at this time did not have an ID card, no electronic bills, and no monitors.
How to ensure that the person who redeems the lottery ticket is the person who bought the lottery ticket, and how to ensure that the person who bought the lottery ticket can redeem the lottery ticket safely is a big problem.
After all, the first time Daqian opened up to various places and people flowed around, there were a lot of chaos.
Although they were all solved in the end, the thieves and thieves were also brought to justice.
However, the people were still frightened and suffered losses, and the national policy of liberalization was also questioned.
Fortunately, these problems are not impossible to solve.
At the end of September in the twenty-seventh year of Zhenyuan, an edict from the crown prince was posted on notice boards in various prefectures and counties, and officials read it out for three days.
The national policy of lottery immediately attracted the attention of people all over the country.
On this day, October 1st.
Large stores all over the country started selling.
It is a piece of paper stamped by the government, and then printed in a special font, with the uppercase and traditional numbers from one to ten arranged on it.
Arrange them in the order of one, two-three, five-six-seven, eight-ninety, and 1233.
Buyers can select numbers or randomly.
These arrangements have already been printed.
As for the final prize, it naturally depends on the number of lottery tickets purchased.
And this kind of statistics requires speed.
This will allow Daqian Station to be used again.
Today's Daqian Station is no longer only used by the government, but can also be used by civilians and businesses.
That is to say, Daqian's logistics station was formed.
The post station became a resting place for postmen and others, and the salaries of the post station officials were paid by the government.
Lottery data must also be collected within ten days, and then the prizes will be determined, and then the prize redemption will be started.
This is naturally a big deal.
Another task was added to the officials.
But if Daqian wants to develop, it needs money. The national treasury is out of money, so we can't just stop the construction of the project, right?
The purchasing power of lottery tickets in the first month directly exceeded the expectations of officials.
They even think that all the people in the world have become rich.
But when I saw the statistics from various places, I found that the rich people didn't care about five copper coins and could buy thousands of them in one go.
to be honest.
I have money.
not give a damn about.
Wait until the first month’s lottery is over.
Summary of money from various places.
Dai Guang happily drank a few more drinks. Thinking back on his gaffe that night, he still blushed the next day.
November.
The imperial court issued more lottery tickets.
The release of the first lottery winning list is enough to prove the court's credibility.
There really was a working class family who became rich overnight, with three thousand silver coins.
This is enough for them to buy a house in the county and still have a surplus.
Instantly attracted more people, wanting to take a gamble.
The second round of lottery tickets was once again sold out.
At the same time, Daqian's expansion and construction project on the Yongji Canal also started.
This year.
It was the second year after Daqian pacified the North.
It is also the second year for Daqian to recuperate.
But it has already made great strides, significantly raising the gross national product to a higher level.
