Chapter 66 Fan Xian's Suspicion
"So many? These must be the lottery draws for the opening of new businesses. Why does it feel a bit complicated?" A group of officials were whispering, and some of them were planning to leave. They had connections with the imperial court departments, and no one wanted to have any contact with them.

"This opportunity is rare. Although it is only 100 taels of silver, which is far less than the 10,000 taels of silver prize that the Six Gates will offer, everyone in Qing Nation has the opportunity. It is different from the current situation. There are not many of us here, so the opportunity is great."

This is how to popularize lottery play, and you must do it step by step. But as long as you give out two prizes, you will be on the right track.

"Ten thousand taels of silver, is this true or not?"

"Never mind, just give it a try. It's only ten coins anyway." Ten coins are only two dollars in reality.

On the fifth floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, Shen Qingzhou stood in his own private room No. 1, looking down.

After a while, Xu Qingyang, the head of the Six Gates Constable, who was wearing a gorgeous black suit embroidered with a xiezhi and holding a sword in one hand, entered the private room.

"My Lord, can we open the prize?"

"can."

Xu Qingyang is the younger brother of a soldier who died when he was riding his horse on the grassland. He has performed well during this period.

Most importantly, Xu Qingyang is smart and careful. In addition to breaking into houses and destroying villages, he is also a good hand at solving cases.

Next, it is not just a matter of simply going to the door to attack the counterfeiters. Before, he just used the title of the head of the police. Since the Six Gates have become independent, the ability to solve cases and track them is of course a standard. Of course, it does not mean that martial arts are not valued.

Of course, there are insider information in lotteries. Giving money to a rich person, even if it is really a fluke, is certainly not as meaningful as giving it to a poor person in terms of publicity.

Therefore, Shen Qingzhou observed carefully here and gave the hundred taels of silver to an old man with a child, who looked like a poor family.

"The prize is out. I'll read it out to everyone. If anyone can't read, you can come and ask me." After reading the numbers.

"Yes, is it me?" An old father-in-law raised his hand in fear and confusion. He just wanted to join in the fun, but his grandson didn't understand why he had to give ten big bucks, so he just followed others and gave them his money to buy candied haws. He didn't dare to take it and could only wait. This was also the reason why he was chosen by Shen Qingzhou.

"My dear father-in-law, stop looking. It's you. This hundred taels is yours. Please come in with me to claim the prize. Don't worry, there are so many people watching."

After a while, in front of everyone's gaze, the father-in-law really appeared holding one hundred taels of silver.

"It's true, it's really given to me. If I had known earlier, I would have bought a few more tickets. I had thought about his number." A group of people were regretting.

"Father, I suggest that you use this hundred taels of silver to buy a better house if possible, so that you won't be embarrassed to refuse someone who asks you to lend money.

Of course, you don't have to worry about others being tempted by your money. We have already registered your information. If anything happens, my Six Gates, from the marquis to the constable, will all seek justice for you."

This is also for those who are interested. This is one hundred taels of silver. For many people, it is enough to take a risk.

"Sir, I have made up my mind to buy a house." The father-in-law had just been reminded of this. Although he was happy that he had won the prize, he knew better that people's hearts were treacherous.

After buying a house, there is not much money left, only a few taels, so not many people would risk their lives for it.

“If anyone wins a prize in the future, they must not expose it to others and must not keep money and property in their hearts.

The first lottery is over. Next, I will announce that my Six Gates will hold a lottery every week. The first prize is 10,000 taels of silver, the second prize is 1,000 taels of silver, and the third prize is 100 taels of silver. The people of Nanqing can go to the local Yellow Crane Tower to claim the prize, or register to buy lottery tickets at the authorized places of the Yellow Crane Tower. "

The crowd dispersed, and the Yellow Crane Tower lucky draw directly overshadowed the popularity of the classic work "Yellow Crane Tower". It was normal. When hearing that it was related to the Six Gates, many people were afraid to enter. Some habits need to be cultivated.

Shen Qingzhou looked downstairs with great satisfaction. The ten thousand taels was the most reasonable price he had calculated.

This world is different from the ancient times in real history. The population is a bit too large, as can be seen from the fact that Emperor Qing ordered a million border troops to support Fan Xian.

Shen Qingzhou always thought that the million-strong border army was the same as those claimed in history, with hundreds of thousands of people, plus hundreds of thousands of logistics support. If you exaggerate a little, it would be a million.

Later, after he entered the Privy Council, he was in charge of deploying troops. These one million were purely soldiers who could fight, which was exaggerated.

It was also because of these people that Shen Qingzhou dared to play the lottery, a method that requires a large number of people to make money.

……

After the opening of the Yellow Crane Tower, officials in Kyoto were checking to see how Shenwu Hou managed to be self-sufficient.

When this move was released, many people still did not take it seriously. They thought that no one was so stupid and the chance was so small, who would buy it?

"Isn't this just gambling?" Liu Ruyu commented as the Fan family members were discussing this matter at the Fan Mansion.

"No, no, this method can really make money. And I guess the reason why the lottery is held on Mondays nowadays is because it takes time to collect information from all over the world. If the information flows smoothly, it may be possible to draw once a day, and this can make a lot of money." Fan Xian's face was serious.

Even if others don't know, he must be clear about it. This is the lottery. He is now very suspicious that Shen Qingzhou must know something that others don't know. "Yellow Crane Tower", "The Man's Way" and the lottery are all things from that world.

"No way?" Although Fan Ruoruo was smart, even Fan Jianliu Ruyu was limited by the thinking of the times and could not figure it out.

"I calculated that if this thing is done, even if only one out of ten people buys their lottery ticket, and one person may buy more than one ticket, then we will make a fortune." Fan Sizhe is indeed a business genius.

Although he was very curious about this model, he was obsessed with making money. After calculating, he found that he really made money.

"And this ten thousand taels may not even be the final prize," Fan Xian said.

"This is a good business, we can do it too." Fan Sizhe said. After all, he was the one who even built a bank, so he dared to think and act.

"It's difficult. This model lacks the powerful deterrent force and is easy to be imitated," Fan Xian said.

……

"It's March's work report, everyone. I'll be leaving first." Outside the city of Kyoto, hundreds of horses left.

Nowadays, let alone the Silver Medal Captain, even the Iron Medal Captain are all big bosses, and their physical strength is at least the eighth level. If it were not for the increase in military power, they would all be local tyrants.

It is precisely because of this unparalleled military force that Shen Qingzhou dared to run the lottery. This group of people can scheme against their colleagues, but they dare not have any bad ideas about themselves.

This time, Shen Qingzhou asked them to use their abilities to recruit talents from all over the world. They needed both captains and constables.

Moreover, it can be imagined that this group of eighth-grade officers will eventually become silver-medal captains, and the subsequent bronze and iron medals will all have successors.
