Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 475 The common people will return the full amount of food, and the tyrants will be divided into [-]

just like…

These officials in the lottery office have been specially trained.

They explained the rules to Wang Erzhu in detail, and repeatedly emphasized that once they win the prize, they can redeem the prize immediately!

After repeated confirmation, Wang Erzhu did not hesitate.

Although the imperial court's reputation is not very good, it can't stand it... Situ Mansion and Sikong Mansion have high reputation. As a farmer... he still knows this.

Since it is said to be fair and just, then presumably this thing will not be a lie.

Besides, at the lottery booth here... either soldiers or officials, even Xuzhou's millet officials also participated. These people, Wang Erzhu can still trust!

In other words, it's people robbing... What can you do?How dare you resist!
"My lord, I want to buy two..."

Wang Erzhu opened his mouth and said, at the same time, he was holding the corn in the basket with both hands.

"it is good!"

The official promised that someone would weigh the corn and push the excess to Wang Erzhu.

Wang Erzhu stretched out his hand to take it, and his vicissitudes of hands were dirty due to the cracks caused by chopping firewood.

"Did you see these numbers?" The official pointed to a row of numbers beside him, which was "from one to nine" written in Xiaozhuan. "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" has become quite popular in this era. are not unfamiliar.

Officials are quite patient. "If the numbers you selected match the numbers in the lottery tonight in sequence, then congratulations, you've won the lottery! Now, let's start picking numbers."

When it comes to this point, even the uneducated Wang Erzhu can roughly understand it.

only…

After all, it was two catties of grain, ah no, it was ten thousand catties of grain, Wang Erzhu seemed very nervous.

"My lord, I choose this... this, plus this, this..." Finally, Wang Erzhu stared at the wooden sign for a long time, and finally chose seven numbers.

—Six, zero, seven, seven, six, zero, seven!

—Five, seven, four, one, one, eight, nine!

Two catties, two lottery tickets!
Looking at the number selected by Wang Erzhu, the officials wrote it on the paper, and then stamped the seal of Xuzhou Mu and the seal of Xiapi prefect respectively. Serve this welfare lottery.

this time...

A lottery ticket is out.

"Take it away, here is your lottery ticket!" The official handed the lottery ticket to Wang Erzhu. "We will also record your name and the number you selected. If you win the prize, only you can receive the prize! If you don't receive the prize within ten days, it will be regarded as giving up. Remember?"

"Remember, remember!" Wang Erzhu nodded repeatedly.

This small lottery ticket, at this moment, is like a hope, carrying his dream...Wang Erzhu's heart is extremely hot, just like...his family already has [-] catties of corn, and he married a third-bedroom wife.

Of course…

Not only Wang Erzhu, 32 lottery ticket sales outlets, everyone who buys lottery tickets is like this, but...if these buyers are summed up, most of them are the poorest farmers...and gamblers who like to hang out in casinos!

The audience is small and narrow.

Ordinary people, or those big merchants, don't look down on them at all.

These news were transmitted to a wine shop at the first time...

A group of great merchants and nobles from Xiapi City who gathered here were puzzled and talked a lot.

"How? How many people buy lottery tickets?"

"Haha, this big man's welfare lottery ticket is almost becoming a joke. Who would really buy this thing? We sent people to every lottery ticket sale point, and only sold more than 200 lottery tickets in a whole day. It’s only more than 200 catties of grain, and this amount of grain...it’s really lonely!"

"Don't be careless, this Lu Yulu Situ is not simple. People say that Yinlin's words reveal the secrets of heaven, and those who get Yinlin can be safe in the world. In the past...he could make the little-known Zhuge family in Langya the richest man in Xuzhou with a few words. Today... although this move seems to have little effect, it must have a deep meaning!"

All the rich and powerful families showed their fat faces, their eyes were narrowed into a slit, and their mouths were open to discuss.

Each of them bought a lottery ticket in their hands, but they looked at the lottery ticket with contempt and disdain in their eyes.

only…

Under these contempt and disdain, they have some fear in their hearts. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree... These years, people who underestimate Yinlin... often die a miserable death.

Thinking of this, everyone sat up straight again.

Just like the wolves on the prairie, they don't bark or show their sharp teeth when they're preying. Only when it's time to harvest will their bloodthirsty fangs and terrifying howls be raised. will emerge.

Will Yinlin... still hide, deploying something?

--Probably!
Scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants!

Businessmen, in this period, despite their low status, may become the richest person in one party, and none of them are "human beings".

While they paid attention to the lottery, they paid more attention to Lu Yu, who was Yinlin's name!
These people are so smart...

They didn't even care about the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. What they only cared about was the high price they could sell for the grain and grass they hoarded!
As for... donating food, don't even think about it, the so-called - no evil, no business!
"Tell the brothers below to continue to observe... If there is any trouble, report it as soon as possible."

"clear…"

It can be said that it is just a city of Xiapi. At this moment... the situation is throbbing, and countless people are staring at the so-called "big man welfare lottery". .

One day just passed by!
For a whole day, it can be said that the sales of lottery tickets were very dismal!
It can be said that the teacher has not succeeded...

Now, not only those merchants, but even officials, officers and soldiers feel cold, completely cold!
Chen Deng frowned even more, with a look of helplessness on his face, and even... for a moment, he suspected, was this your deployment by Mr. Lu?How do you feel... not like it?When did Mr. Lu become so naive?

Instead, it was Cheng Yu, standing on the tower.

From the commanding heights, witnessing everything in front of him, it can be said that everything that happened today was within Lu Yu's expectations.

Very dismal start!

next...

"Cheng Sima, how can you hold your breath? This day has passed, and no more than 32 lottery tickets have been sold in the [-] booths. How much is the income... [-] catties of grain!"

Chen Deng asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Cheng Yu stroked his beard. "Haha, the first floor... It seems that Yuan Long only saw the first floor, and didn't understand the essence of Mr. Lu's strategy!"

"Strategy?" Chen Deng was taken aback...

What strategy?

32 stalls earning [-] catties of grain a day?Is there a strategy?
Speaking of which, Chen Deng was born as a Diannong school lieutenant, and he rose to a high position step by step from being in charge of agricultural production. He is a good hand in governing the state and county if it is to develop water conservancy and farmland irrigation, but these roundabouts and tricks Intestines, he is not very proficient.

Not to mention this welfare lottery...

Not to mention someone else, even he, Xuzhou Mu, couldn't accept it!Even... very repulsive!
Such an outcome is no surprise.

but…

Hearing what Cheng Yu said this time, Chen Deng asked curiously: "Could it be? Mr. Lu has a second meaning?"

"nature…"

Cheng Yu smiled, an incomparably bright smile. "It's more than just the second meaning. Mr. Lu's strategy is extremely subtle... Only after seeing the last [-]%, Yuan Long will suddenly realize it!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused, then said with a smile...

"Yuanlong, I, Cheng Yu, can see...the biggest reason why you reject this big man's welfare lottery is that Mr. Lu's welfare lottery earns the food of ordinary people! It even earns the food of the poorest farmers. Earn the food of those merchants and rich people? You think this is the opposite, and you are chasing the end, don't you?"

Cheng Yu opened the skylight to speak brightly, and it was also a heart-to-heart.

"As expected of Cheng Sima, you can see clearly!" Chen Deng replied truthfully.

Cheng Yu nodded. "Yuanlong, maybe you have misread Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu is making a plan... and this big man welfare lottery is just the beginning of the plan!"

"The welfare lottery is an introduction, just like in the process of fishing, if you want to take the bait of a big fish, you always need to make the bait richer. Mr. Lu's real purpose has never been these low-level farmers, but... those who are paying close attention The merchants and wealthy families involved in this matter, now...their eyes are fixed on this place!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused.

Immediately, he continued to sigh with emotion: "If you want to take something, you must first give it. It is not easy to dig out food from the belly of these big fish? These big fish are very shrewd and cunning...We need to be more patient !"

While speaking, Cheng Yu patted Chen Deng on the shoulder, then raised his head to look at the sky.

No more nonsense... It's almost time, and he walked down the tower.

"Cheng Sima? What are you doing?" Chen Deng asked urgently.

Cheng Yu replied: "The lottery!"

Uh... As soon as this remark came out, Chen Deng was taken aback.

Cheng Yu's words continued.

"Before letting the big fish go online, you need to make the bait more fertile. You only need to draw a lottery once... Once you implant a dream, the bait of the 'welfare lottery' will become fatter all of a sudden."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused, and turned his head with great interest.

He opened his mouth with a smile and asked...

"Yuanlong? Do you have a dream? Do you believe in dreams?"

ah... ah...

Chen Deng felt that he was a bit messy, the big fish, small fish, dreams, bait and so on that Cheng Yu mentioned.

Obviously, he understands every word, but when they are tied together, he... can't understand.

What kind of medicine is sold in Mr. Lu's gourd?
Why did the atmosphere suddenly become mysterious!

...

...

At this time, the lottery place was crowded with people, there was an endless stream of cars and BMWs, and there were bursts of women's light laughter and discussions from time to time.

"I don't know, is it possible... someone can really get this ten thousand catties of grain?"

More men and women from poor families come, the poorer they are, the more they look forward to the award...

Of course, there are also many gamblers nervously holding the lottery tickets in their hands.

Who knows, after an hour, this small lottery ticket will turn into a blank sheet of paper?Still [-] catties of grain!

There are more and more people in the audience...

The entire high platform where the lottery was held was completely surrounded!
As if, although... most people didn't buy lottery tickets, but they joined in the fun and were not ambiguous at all.

There are also many eyeliners from various merchants, wealthy families, and big families, and some servants of Xuzhou officials, not just Xiapi... Many prefects and county magistrates from other prefectures and counties have sent servants here to take a look!
Wang Erzhu is also one of them, he tightly holds the lottery ticket in his hand...

—Six, zero, seven, seven, six, zero, seven!

—Five, seven, four, one, one, eight, nine!

He kept chanting these numbers from time to time...as if he could memorize them all. He felt...these two small "lottery tickets" weighed a thousand catties, ah no, they weighed ten thousand catties!

Of course, there are not a few people who feel this way...

At the opening of the lecture, there was a huge copper hour funnel flowing slowly. Cheng Yu had already stepped onto the stage, followed by Chen Deng.

Cheng Yu was dressed in a Confucian robe, and his clothes didn't look luxurious, but he was full of aura at that stop, his face was calm, and he didn't lose a generous smile.

"The auspicious time has come, the lottery!"

Cheng Yuyin let out a sound...

Immediately, countless defenders around the lottery platform raised their shields and swords, as if they wanted to use this method to maintain the order of the scene and tell everyone not to overstep the barrier!
Under the eyes of everyone, Cheng Yu turned around and opened a black curtain. It was a disc... He unhurriedly fastened the wooden board on top of the disc, and everyone knew it without introducing it. ...that's what's called a "number shaker"!
Not too much to say...

——"Clah la la la..."

Cheng Yu turned the disc directly, and with a crisp sound, the pointer pointed to the first number—Wu!

"The lottery number, the first one is Wu!"

As the pointer fell, a soldier shouted.

A clerk at the side wrote a huge "Wu" on a white paper and pushed it down from the tower... The huge "Wu" was vividly presented in front of everyone.

——"The second number is seven!"

——"The third number is 四!"

——"The fourth number is one!"

——"The fifth number is one!"

Five, seven, four, one, one...

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are quite a few who can survive the first number, and almost few who can survive the second number. In the third round, it can be said that the entire army was wiped out... let alone the fifth number!

Countless people who bought lottery tickets were dejected, with extremely disappointed expressions on their faces. Some people even felt that they had been cheated, that they had died, and a catty of grain...wouldn't it be nice to cook porridge at night?
This bad old man is very bad!

I only bought this lottery ticket if I believed in you!

Although a catty of food is not much, it still makes countless people feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, those...those who didn't buy lottery tickets are a little gloating. Take a look...you know it's a lie, so you still buy it?Isn't this the head kicked by the donkey?Okay now?A catty of grain was lost.

Human nature is like this...

When seeing other people's misfortune, many people will feel an inexplicable sense of superiority in their hearts.

Can…

At this moment... No one noticed Wang Erzhu, his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

——Wu, seven, four, one, one...

The top... the top five are exactly the same, this... this...

Before Wang Erzhu could react.

——"The sixth number is eight!"

With the sound of this voice.

At this moment, Wang Erzhu's eyes were about to burst out, and he suddenly felt... a surge in his heart, a surge...

He has already won six numbers, as long as the last one is nine, then he can get [-] catties of grain!

According to the current high food prices...

He can sell some, renovate the house, marry a wife, bring his mother and father from the countryside to the city, and no longer have to be afraid of the contemptuous eyes of the city people!

With the rotation of the disc beside Cheng Yu, Wang Erzhu's mood was already in his throat!
thump…

The crisp sound came to an abrupt end.

——"The seventh number is nine!"

A soldier shouted loudly...

In an instant, Wang Erzhu, who was standing in the same place, jumped up... Leaping three feet, his fists were tightly clenched, and his eyes were about to burst out, as if his whole body was about to float up.

"bingo…"

"bingo…"

"I... I won, [-] catties of grain, I... I won!"

Wang Erzhu shouted loudly...

When this voice came out, the people on the side were stunned, especially those people who were cursing and angrily denouncing that this was a scam. They immediately turned their eyes to Wang Erzhu's side.

It...isn't it a scam?

Can anyone really win the lottery?
Infinite question marks popped up on the heads of countless people.

The mathematics level of the people in this era is at most only at the level of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and they only recognize numbers. They are not like later generations. Any child knows what probability is and how to calculate it...

All they can determine is the truth...

Someone won the lottery, what...what does this mean?Explanation, damn it... this is not a lie, it's for real!
even…

Some people recognized Wang Erzhu, isn't this... that poor guy?Are you poor in your 40s, so poor that you can't even afford a wife?

He...he really won the lottery, didn't he?
All of a sudden, many people who knew Wang Erzhu had ugly faces like bitter gourds. This is also human nature. Watching others make money...seeing others get rich is simply...more uncomfortable than not making money yourself!

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Cheng Yu coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Please save your lottery tickets to avoid being looted. We have registration at the lottery office...The lottery ticket needs to be registered with the person! You can claim the prize at any time..."

Only then did Wang Erzhu react.

He looked around vigilantly, and there were malicious smiles...

"My lord, my lord... I... Can I redeem the prize now?"

"Of course!" Cheng Yu nodded.

Immediately, a group of soldiers went to invite Wang Erzhu to the lottery table, and in the eyes of everyone, Cheng Yu went to verify it himself...

—Five, seven, four, one, one, eight, nine!

exactly...

Corresponding to Wang Erzhu's name and household registration, the final inspection is carried out.

After a series of procedures, Cheng Yu stretched out his hand and patted Wang Erzhu's shoulder.

- "Congratulations, lucky one!"

——"Come here, present an award to Wang Erzhu..."

At this moment, Wang Erzhu's head was buzzing, and he felt groggy. He didn't react until... a group of soldiers in front of him placed a hundred bags of grain in front of him.

real…

Damn, it's true!

He...he himself actually...actually earned [-] catties of grain with one catty of grain.

He was dull, he was confused, happiness came too suddenly!
boom…

Rumble!
Here... under the award platform, there was a deafening sound, and there was an uproar... There was an uproar of discussion.

Only Cheng Yu, his eyes swept over everyone in the audience.

He knew that among them... there were many eyeliners of merchants, many servants of officials, and many slaves of big families... In fact, today's play is for them to watch!

Now...it depends on whether they can see the essence through the phenomenon...and see the huge business opportunity hidden in this welfare lottery!
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't see it...

The welfare lottery for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will surely surprise them.

Ha ha…

Mr. Lu is Mr. Lu after all!

When others raise food, they often unite with local big households to find ways to earn food for the common people. It is like donating food. The gentry donate first, and the common people donate later... After the event is completed, the gentry’s money will be returned in full, and the common people’s money will be divided into [-]%!
Cheng Yu remembered Mr. Lu blurting out his words, so he gave this kind of behavior a name - Ponzi scheme!

But with Mr. Lu, his plan is suddenly the opposite!
Since the government can cooperate with the tyrants to cheat the people's food?
Why?Can't the government take advantage of the people?What about defrauding the gentry?
This welfare lottery is just the beginning...the road ahead is still long!Hunting time... is far from here!
