Seeing this, Zhao Ping nodded with satisfaction.

When he first set up this lottery session, he was worried that people didn't understand the lottery mode.

So I arranged for the strong man to demonstrate it to everyone.

It happened that Feng Lin came back and was a bandit from Heifeng Village.

Because of his outstanding performance in suppressing bandits, he was sent out by Ruan Wendi to deliver messages.

He was not from Donghai County, and he stayed in Heifeng Village all year round. Very few people knew him, so he was pulled over by Zhao Ping to act as a trustee.

Unexpectedly, winning a pot of acacia wine aroused everyone's inner desires.

You see, the people queuing up have already started discussing, pooling their money, and planning to draw a reward.

Even if you can't draw acacia wine, it's still good to draw soap.

And Liu Wenhao was also lucky. After 15 draws, he won a piece of soap.

According to the price they gave, it was two thousand taels.

Not only does it cost nothing to buy cloth, but you can also make a lot of money, which is very cost-effective.

In addition, Feng Lin won two pots of acacia wine in a row, which directly pushed the sales of Xiping Village Cloth Village to a climax.

advise?

I can't help it at all.

Even in those accounting offices that were trained in advance, the clerks took turns explaining to everyone that buying cloth was the first priority, and the lottery was second, so don't mess up the rules.

But it still can't stop the army of cloth buyers, no, it's the army of lottery draws.

Everyone rushed to the front to draw the prize.

Those who don’t have money raise money.

Partnership lottery.

Fortunately, after several rounds, everyone did not win the top three prizes, and the enthusiasm gradually subsided.

Counting Feng Lin, he had drawn prizes a hundred times and never won another big prize.

After receiving Zhao Ping's look, he asked the clerk to deliver the purchased cloth to Yipinxiang on a selected day, and then withdrew.

However, some people are lucky enough to win.

Whenever he wins a prize, Liu Wenhao will take it all back.

Acacia wine, four thousand taels per pot.

Soap, two thousand taels a piece.

Frosted sugar, one thousand taels per catty.

Zhao Ping estimated the value.

In a lottery box, there are two wooden signs that say acacia wine, ten wooden signs that say soap, ten wooden signs that say frost sugar, twenty wooden signs that say ten pieces of cloth, and the rest. Lucky prizes such as puppets and candies.

Two pots of acacia wine are worth eight thousand taels of silver.

Ten pieces of soap are worth twenty thousand taels of silver.

Ten pieces of frosting sugar are worth ten thousand taels of silver.

Two hundred pieces of cloth, worth one thousand taels of silver.

The rest can be ignored.

The value of a lottery box prize is around thirty-nine thousand taels. To give you a round number, it’s forty thousand taels.

But a lottery box contains five thousand copies of wooden cards.

In other words, you need to spend at least 250,000 taels of silver to empty out a lottery box.

Not to mention, the actual cost of these prizes is very low.

It seems to be worth 4,000 taels of silver, but in fact, to Zhao Ping, it is not even worth 4,000 taels of silver.

The cost of cloth was the highest, fifty taels of silver.

Now that Liu Wenhao is going to draw for seven days in a row, there is no need for him to arrange for people to persuade him. When Liu Wenhao empties the lottery box and the rewards are limited, everyone will understand this truth.

Yun Chengze also noticed this and stepped forward to dissuade him, but was driven away by Liu Wenhao.

"Liu Jia, if he dares to stop me again, just break his legs and throw him out."

Liu Wenhao scolded angrily.

Although the lottery is fun, it makes people forget about it.

But is he drawing a lottery?

No, he is holding back his acacia wine.

Judging from the reaction of the people in Xiping Village's Buzhuang just now, this cooperation will definitely not be so easy to achieve.

The best way is to catch Zhao Ping and forcefully ask him about the brewing method of acacia wine.

Of course, we must also be on guard against Zhao Ping’s refusal to die.

At that time, the only option was to kill him.

Once Zhao Ping dies, the acacia wine will be a lonely product.

Let alone 40,000 taels per jar, even if it is 100,000 taels per jar, someone will rob you of your head.

The more acacia wine you occupy, the sooner you can research the formula.

Thus monopolizing the sales volume of acacia wine.

How many of the high officials in the capital are fools?

After the first batch of acacia wine arrived in Beijing, they started arranging people to study it.

It's a pity that the second batch of acacia wine has returned to Beijing, and no research has been done to find out the reason.

After all, the brewing of wine does not take ten and a half days to produce results. It requires constant attempts and improvement of the formula. It will probably take half a year to a year before the acacia wine is truly developed.

The acacia wine to be consumed is naturally as simple as a few jars.

Now that he has the opportunity, Liu Wenhao will not miss it.

"Why."

Yun Chengze had no choice but to retreat, find a place to rest, and wait for Liu Wenhao.

Who let Liu Wenhao be the leader of this mission?

On the first day, Liu Wenhao drew more than a thousand wooden cards and won only a piece of soap, a pound of frosting sugar, and thirty pieces of cloth. The rest were consolation prizes.

But Liu Wenhao was not discouraged and continued the next day.

However, on the second day, there was a wooden board on the door of Buzhuang in Xiping Village.

It says "Purchase Restricted" on it.

Each person can purchase up to 500 pieces of cloth, which can only be drawn three times based on the number of draws.

After all, the more cloth you buy, the cheaper it becomes.

The cloth shop can sell up to 2,000 pieces of cloth every day. If the amount exceeds 2,000 pieces of cloth, it will no longer be sold.

This is the maximum amount that Xipingcun Textile Factory can produce now, and it will not be able to produce any more.

Customers spend money but cannot buy cloth, which can easily affect your reputation.

As for the pre-order model.

Zhao Ping didn't want to waste it on cloth.

After all, this thing is too cheap and the profit is not much.

When liquor and soap and beer are sold, it will not be too late to impose purchase restrictions.

However, Liu Wenhao also found a solution.

The more you buy, the more discounts you get.

Then I will buy less.

Buying cloth by cloth.

A piece of cloth costs 400 taels of silver, and 125 pieces of cloth cost exactly 50 taels of silver, and you can draw a prize once.

Five hundred is exactly four times 125.

In this case, he can draw four prizes in one day.

One more chance has been added to the three pre-set lottery chances of Xiping Village Buzhuang.

As witty as he is.

Even Zhao Ping didn't expect that he could still play like this.

Don't care about the cloth, just aim for the lottery.

Could it be that the people of the Dawei Dynasty were born with a gambling addiction?

Then how about making a two-color ball?

You can definitely make a lot of money, right?

However, Zhao Ping quickly gave up this idea.

The two-color ball is completely beyond the control of a person of his level.

First, no one believed him.

Second, he cannot protect such a large capital pool.

It's easy to get killed.

Liu Wenhao didn't just have this idea, he even created scalpers.

For example, queue up.

If the entourage and bodyguards cannot be arranged, the positions will be purchased from ordinary people.

The same goes for buying cloth.

He arranged for four people to buy two thousand pieces of cloth, each of whom purchased five hundred pieces of cloth.

Taken together, there are sixteen draws.

Everyone can see that this guy is here to cause trouble.

Fortunately, he said that he would smoke for seven consecutive days and make many people earn some money, but no one criticized them.

Peng Yue and Zhao Ping even took the initiative to send people to escort them. The young master from the province was assassinated while buying cloth, and they were blamed.

On the second day, the news that Liu Wenhao, the son of the Minister of Household Affairs in the capital, only drew a lottery but did not buy cloth spread throughout Donghai County.

When Tongbai heard the news, he was stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses.

Of course, he hurried to meet him.

He was kicked away by Liu Wenhao.

He threatened to chop off the head of anyone who bothered him to smoke acacia wine again.

On the third day, Zhao Ping returned to Xiping Village and continued to study his gadgets.

For example, in terms of medicines, penicillin, narcotics, etc.

Mechanical catapults, bed crossbows.

After Zhao Ping's explanation, Lu Xiu and his son made the catapult, which was more accurate.

Unfortunately, due to technical limitations, the throw distance is still not very far. The longest distance is barely a hundred feet, but the accuracy will be lost.

In terms of weapons, in addition to Tang Dao, Zhao Ping is also tinkering with simple versions of bombs.

Put kerosene into a sealed clay pot, plug it in, and use cotton thread soaked in kerosene as a lead.

After lighting it and throwing it out, the kerosene suddenly ignites and generates huge pressure, which will burst the clay pot.

The effect is quite good.

The only drawback is that the distance manually thrown is a bit short, and you can easily be injured by some of the things that burst out after the clay pot explodes.

Zhao Ping is still thinking about how to improve.

Next came the coal mine. After getting the documents, Zhao Ping decided to mine.

There are no professionals in that field right now, so we can only use the stupidest method, all manual mining, which is time-consuming.

Finally, there is the recruitment aspect.

His Majesty gave him the military talisman. As the commander of the bandit army, he could recruit five thousand soldiers.

After discussing with Liu Mengru, they also adopted the screening method.

Of course, this screening puts the bandit army first.

Those who perform well in the bandit army will enter the escort bureau, and those who perform outstandingly in the escort bureau will enter the flying eagle army.

After all, the bandit army was only given to Zhao Ping by His Majesty to suppress bandits. Once the bandits are wiped out, they may be taken away at any time. Zhao Ping does not want to spend too much time cultivating them.

The focus is still on the bodyguards and the Flying Eagle Army.

On the fifth day, Xu Tianhua brought Chen Xinghe, Mu Jianzhang and others to Donghai County.
