Now there is only one number left, and today's grand prize will be announced.
Although most people feel there is no hope when the second number is read out.
But that doesn’t stop them from expecting the grand prize.
Of course, there are still a small number of people who have doubts about the authenticity of the lottery because they have no hope of winning.
I even feel like I've been cheated.
One and a half taels for ten days is not much, but for ordinary people in Guizhou, one can eat a meal of corn steamed buns.
Therefore, some people still feel very uncomfortable.
But seeing the Imperial Guards in armor and leading troops all around, no matter how uncomfortable they felt, they could only break their teeth and swallow it.
However, no one at the scene noticed that the Qi in the crowd turned pale with excitement and their legs could not help but tremble.
Only one number missing!
There is only one number left, and he will get one hundred gold!
That’s one hundred yi gold!
Everything you dream of can be accomplished with this one hundred yi gold!
"Father, mother, eldest brother, second sister"
"And the little flower I miss day and night"
"You all wait for me, wait for me"
He murmured to himself, his eyes unblinking, his ears perked up, and he immediately focused all his attention on the lottery platform.
As the lottery official turned the wheel, his heart was in his throat.
"Crash-!"
A small sound came.
Bang!
A small ball with numbers fell out.
Revealed, the last winning number.
An official came forward, picked up the ball, looked at it carefully, showed a meaningful smile, and shouted loudly: "The last lottery number is"
At this point, he deliberately made a long note and looked around.
The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and there was silence.
In an instant, Zhi, who was standing in the corner, stood on tiptoes, his pupils dilated, and his whole body felt like he was about to fly.
next moment.
The official picked up the ball with a smile, and without saying a word, he directly raised it into the air.
"bingo!"
"I'm hit!"
"Hahaha! I won the prize!"
He raised his arms and shouted, unable to control himself with excitement.
The people who were watching around, ready to watch the show, and the people who wanted to claim the prizes who originally thought it was a scam, all followed the sound.
Has anyone won?
Did you really win?
No way! Isn't it true that someone won a hundred gold coins? !
Countless questions, surprises, hesitations, and shocked looks were all cast towards Qi.
They originally thought that the winner would be someone from the government, or a son of a powerful person, but when they saw the winner, they were shocked.
That's a Guizhou head!
A Guizhou leader who is just like us, or even inferior to us!
Look at his tattered clothes and bare ankles.
This guy actually won the lottery?
Just when everyone was in shock and doubt, a dozen imperial guards pushed aside the crowd and walked solemnly in the direction of Qiu.
"The winner, please protect your lottery ticket to avoid being robbed by bad guys. Now we will escort you to the Prime Minister's Mansion to claim your prize!"
The officer leading the team said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Zhi was startled. He quickly recovered from the surprise and looked around cautiously.
I saw that the expressions of the people around me were extremely complicated.
There was envy, jealousy, unwillingness, and ill intentions, and my heart suddenly tightened.
He quickly thanked the leading officer: "Thank you very much, sir!"
After saying that, he directly hid his lottery ticket in his chest and robe, covered it tightly, and carefully followed the imperial army away.
Although today's grand prize has been awarded and the lieutenant general has appeared and followed the imperial army to the Prime Minister's Mansion to receive the prize, the people under the high platform still did not disperse.
They feel like they are in a dream.
Unexpectedly, someone actually paid one and a half taels in the morning, and in the afternoon, it turned into a hundred yi gold.
If this person said that he had met a god, everyone would believe it.
Because this is just incredible.
People who stopped around looked at me and I looked at you. The trees were covered with fruit. There were no words to describe my mood at this time.
Now they have only one purpose, and they want to see if the lucky poor boy just now can really get one hundred yi gold out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
So, they followed the imperial army in unison and gathered towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment, a desk has been placed in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Above the table, a pile of yellow things were neatly and densely arranged.
And around the table, there were soldiers ready to kill.
As for Wang Wan, she was wearing a grand official robe, with her hands behind her back, smiling and waiting for the first lottery player to win.
It didn't take long for a dozen forbidden soldiers to lead a shabby Qian Shou towards him.
"Now, please show me your biography and the winning lottery ticket!"
When the officials of the Prime Minister's Palace saw Qi approaching, they immediately went up to greet him and raised their hands to signal him.
Zhi hurriedly and respectfully handed over his inheritance certificate and the winning lottery ticket.
In front of everyone, the officials of the Prime Minister's Office carefully took the test pass, checked it carefully, and after confirming that the identity was correct, they began to check the lottery ticket again.
This lottery ticket was carefully designed by Zhao Hao. Each pattern has a unique anti-counterfeiting mark. Apart from Zhao Hao himself, only the officials responsible for checking the lottery ticket know about it.
He believed that no one could forge a lottery ticket, at least not in such a short period of time.
What's more important is that the process of redeeming prizes is not only open, but also covert. Among the crowd, there are many people on the black ice platform, watching everyone's every move. Once an abnormality is discovered, it is impossible to successfully claim the prize.
After the inspection officer completed the inspection and nodded to Wang Wan, Wang Wan walked down the steps with a smile and waved to Qi.
"Now, I would like to invite the first winner of the first phase of the Daqin Patriotic Lottery to come up and claim the prize!"
Wang Wan shouted loudly, full of energy.
I felt overwhelmed, my head felt dizzy, and I felt like I was in a dream.
He didn't react until something heavy with a hundred yi gold was placed in his arms.
This is not a dream!
it is true!
He really won a hundred yi gold with one and a half taels.
Buzz—!
When the crowd in the audience saw the poor boy holding a hundred pieces of gold, their facial features were distorted with joy, and a buzzing discussion broke out.
Countless people stared at the hundred yi gold in Qi's arms with envy and jealousy.
Although this hundred yi gold is not worth mentioning to the powerful, it is only a few gold cakes, but for the poor Guizhou leader, this is a golden mountain that changes his life.
With this windfall, Qian Shou can do a lot of things.
For example, changing to a better living environment, buying hundreds of acres of land, marrying a beautiful wife, or having several concubines, and living a life that countless Guizhou heads would envy.
As the crowd of onlookers grew, countless people felt regret and expectation in their hearts.
They regretted why they did not buy lottery tickets.
They hope that they will win the lottery next time.
In short, if nothing else happens, they will definitely buy lottery tickets tomorrow.
Just like what Zhao Hao asked Wang Wan, what are your dreams?
Yes, everyone’s dreams are different.
But there must be a dream of getting rich!
And this is Da Qin Meng!
A person's dream of becoming rich is nothing great, but a group of people or a country's dream of becoming rich is something extraordinary.
Therefore, the prosperity of a country is actually the prosperity of a group of people, the people of a country.
After the lottery was completed, Zhi received one hundred gold, and Wang Wan started chatting with him without caring about the difference in status.
The rest of the people left the Prime Minister's Mansion one after another after sighing for a while.
Many people gathered in groups to discuss tomorrow's lottery numbers and discuss buying lottery tickets tomorrow.
And this scene was all seen by Zhao Hao, who was standing somewhere high up.
At the same time, it was also noticed by the spies of all forces.
Some people laughed at Zhao Hao as trying to trick Wang Wan.
Some people worry that the court will lose money as a result.
There are also people who are waiting to see what happens.
So, the much-anticipated next morning arrived as promised.
Within half an hour after the city gate opened, the lottery point ushered in the second phase of sales.
As expected, the lottery sales on the second day were extremely hot.
Zhao Hao took the 'herd effect' to its extreme.
Very early in the morning, there were long queues at lottery sales points, with no end in sight.
At this time, it attracted the attention of not only the seven major trading houses, but also all the ministers of the DPRK.
However, they were quite calm.
After all, Xianyang, as the capital of the Qin Kingdom, originally had hundreds of thousands of people. Later, when the six kingdoms were unified, the First Emperor ordered the migration of nobles, wealthy families, and wealthy businessmen from the six kingdoms to Xianyang.
The population is nearly one million.
Today, less than one percent of the people who buy lottery tickets are nothing.
However, as time went by, more and more people gathered at the sixteen lottery purchase points.
Not only the people from the seven major trading houses were shocked, but even the ministers of the DPRK were stunned.
And the officials of the Patriot Lottery are even more busy.
Wang Wan, who was guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion, heard the sales reported every hour. His old face, which was originally full of sadness, now smiled like a chrysanthemum.
If there is one person in this world who deserves his trust, it is definitely Zhao Hao.
That’s right, I am Xin Gongzi Hao!
At the same time, Wushi Luo's mansion, one of the seven major merchant families.
Bai Li watched with astonishment as his subordinates reported the situation at the lottery sales point.
"What?! You said that tens of thousands of people have bought lottery tickets at sixteen lottery points?"
"Yes, Master Bai, this is just the situation before I reported it. Now half an hour has passed, it may be more!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Bai Li shook his head in disbelief and said, "How could there be so many people buying lottery tickets?"
Only a few hundred people bought lottery tickets all day yesterday, why are there tens of thousands today?
You know, it’s less than two hours before the city opens!
If it exceeds 10,000 in one hour, how many people will buy it in the next few hours?
Unable to imagine the number of people, Bai Li began to question the person who reported the report, and said with a stern face:
"Did you see it wrong? Some people are just watching the excitement. Are you among them?"
"Master Bai, you guys will definitely not mistake it. Those people have lottery tickets in their hands. There are very few people watching the excitement, and the people queuing up are all queuing up near the city gate!"
The person who reported it quickly shook his head.
"ah?"
Bai Li was stunned.
But he was stunned for just a moment, and he smiled again.
"Hahaha, this time the old prime minister was tricked by Young Master Hao!"
Bai Li seemed to have come to his senses, looked at Wu Shiluo, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, hundreds of people bought lottery tickets, and the old prime minister paid a hundred gold coins for them. Even if there are ten thousand people today, the old prime minister will have to pay several thousand gold coins. I think Where does he get the money to accompany you!"
"If you can't come up with money and lose the support of the people, His Majesty will be furious, and I'm afraid there will be no good fruits to eat."
As he said that, he suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Wu, should I give it to Li Tingwei in advance? Oh no, Prime Minister Li has prepared a gift?"
"."
When Wu Shiluo heard this, he remained silent and frowned slightly.
According to Bai Li's inference, if a few hundred people buy lottery tickets, the old prime minister will pay a hundred gold. If tens of thousands of people buy lottery tickets, won't the old prime minister lose tens of thousands of gold?
How could a man as smart as Gongzi Hao engage in loss-making business?
What is his purpose?
Is it still related to the national debt?
National debt. National debt. Does the country owe people a debt?
Could it be that these bonuses ended up becoming national debt?
After thinking about many possibilities, Wu Shiluo still couldn't figure it out, and his head felt a little big.
He shook his head and said to himself: "Gongzi Hao is not an ordinary person. It is impossible for him to make such a mistake."
"As the saying goes, cleverness leads to mistakes. Who knows if he will accomplish one or two things and then become arrogant and arrogant?"
Bai Li said with a sarcastic face: "It's good now. After losing my wife and losing the army, no matter what, the old prime minister's position cannot be kept. As for Young Master Hao, without the old prime minister's help, he can't make much trouble." "
"I don't believe it. Can the luck of a few hundred people be better than that of 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people?"
Although what Bai Li said was reasonable, Wu Shiluo still felt that the matter was not simple.
He had fought with Ba Qing for so many years and knew very well Ba Qing's nature. It was impossible for Ba Qing to cooperate without reservation with a prince who was only twelve years old and had no one to rely on.
Even if the First Emperor dotes on her and the old Prime Minister Wang Wan helps her, the woman Ba Qing still values interests.
That is a woman who has no profit and cannot afford to be early.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ba Qing strongly supported the First Emperor and spared no effort, earning the First Emperor's trust.
However, this is just the surface.
The real essence is that the Baqing family relied on the First Emperor's support to monopolize many industries and make a lot of money.
If not, how could the Baqing family catch up and become the richest businessmen in the Qin Dynasty?
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Wu Shiluo ordered again: "Continue to keep an eye on the lottery sales point and every move of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"promise."
The person who reported the report returned as promised.
In the prime minister's house.
Zhao Hao was eating small hot pot and drinking fruit wine, as happy as a child.
Wang Wan, who was sitting across from him, looked at him with a look of relief and said with a smile: "I heard that there are many people from the seven major business firms and some ministers in the court appearing at the lottery point. What do you think, sir?"
"Too lazy to look!"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, put down his wine glass, picked up a green fruit, took a bite, and then said with a sigh: "These people are waiting for us to make a fool of ourselves. They want to see if we can wipe out the imperial treasury!"
"hehe."
Wang Wan smiled noncommittally, then picked up a piece of tender beef, put it into a small hot pot, and said, "Then let them see."
"It doesn't matter, but don't be stupid, especially those who think that winning the lottery is based on luck!"
"Oh? Stupid idea?"
"hey-hey."
Zhao Hao smiled secretly: "Then they will know how terrible it is to be uneducated!"
