Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

In order to reassure the people of Ch_ng’n, after obtaining the consent of Li Er, Li Wangyou decided to place the lottery draw every ten days on Vermilion Bird Street, imperial city Vermilion Bird city gate Above.

In order to allow everyone to witness the lottery draw directly, Li Wangyou has already asked the craftsmen who will be the supervisor to create a huge lottery machine, which is placed on the upper floor of the Vermilion Bird city gate.

The appearance is exactly similar to the roller of later generations of hamsters, but the roller is very huge, about three meters in diameter. Standing above the city gate, the common people can see it clearly on Vermilion Bird Street.

The roller used for the prize draw is woven with thick iron wire, hollowed out, and the inner condition is clear.

The lottery ball was Li Wangyou who asked the craftsman to replace it with a Cuju ball and paint the number with paint.

Great Tang Cuju uses an inflatable hollow ball, which is filled with animal bladder. It is wrapped in eight pieces of leather, and the ball is light and round.

Li Wangyou asked the craftsman to prepare 30 red balls and 16 blue balls for today’s lottery draw.

The time of the lottery draw has already been made public, and even unprecedented on the palace gate.

On this day, the people in Chang’an City walked out of their homes and went to Vermilion Bird Avenue to see the lottery.

Vermilion Bird Street in the University of Nova Scotia is full of black and overwhelmed people, and people continue to come from all over Chang’an City. At first glance, the number of people who came here today to watch the lottery is no less than hundreds of thousands.

The 150-meter-wide Vermilion Bird Street, from the Golden Light Sect Street in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate to the south, stretches for four or five streets. It is seven-eight li long and crowded with people.

In fact, in the era when there was no Electric Apparatus live broadcast, even if the lottery machine on the Vermilion Bird city gate was big, the crowd two miles away would definitely not be able to see it.

But even so, the people of Ch_ng’n are always happy. Even if they couldn’t see the scene on the Vermilion Bird city gate, they all whispered to each other, discussing whether they could win the prize.

With such a turbulent crowd, the Jinwu Guards, who are responsible for the safety of Vermilion Bird Avenue today, couldn’t help holding their weapons tightly, fully guarded for fear of accidents.

At three quarters, after the General Assembly of the day ended, Li Er also boarded the Vermilion Bird gate tower.

Today’s draw, he will draw the lottery in person.

Seeing Li Er in a yellow robe show up, the numerous officials who have been waiting here under the city gate bowed and saluted. The more than one hundred thousand Chang’an City people on Vermilion Bird Avenue also knew that the emperor Your Majesty appeared, and all shuaa~ kneeled down and shouted long live three times.

Li Er, with a big smile on his face, waved his hand to indicate that he was preparing for the prize draw.

It is true that he cannot be upset. In ten days, the lottery in this issue of Chang’an City actually sold a total of nearly 30,000,000 money!

Li Er are eager to order the lottery to be extended to the entire Guanzhong Road.

It was Li Wangyou and Dai Zhou who persuaded the emperor who was stunned by the massive amount of copper coins. Lottery is a new thing after all, it is better to operate in Chang’an City for some time before planning.

Li Erhao was the emperor who was able to persuade him. After his impulse, he didn’t mention it again.

Seeing Li Er’s order, the guards from the previous Vermilion Bird city gate shouted in unison: “Draw!”

There was a loud cheering voice immediately under the Vermilion Bird Gate. It was so big that the birds above Ch_ng’n were all panicked.

Ministry of People officials held thirty red cuju, and threw them into the lottery roller in turn.

Li Er rolled up the cuffs of the yellow robe, stepped forward and began to shake the handle on the drum.

This drum is three meters in diameter and is made of thick iron wire. It is naturally very heavy. Originally, Li Wangyou was prepared to shake the imperial soldier with a strong body. But the face-saving Li Er, where would he give up the chance of the first prize draw to others?

Rejecting the request for assistance from others, Li Er flushed his cheeks, exhausted all his strength, and finally shook the huge roller.

As the roller began to rotate, all the people on Vermilion Bird Street who were still full of voices held their breath and stared at the faster and faster roller with scorching eyes.

In the drum, thirty red balls keep colliding and rolling.

Li Wangyou saw it, and quickly let someone remove a baffle under the drum, revealing a hole for the ball. Thirty red balls continued to rotate under Li Er’s swaying drum, and finally a red ball fell along the hole in the drum.

Ministry of People officials immediately stepped forward, picked up the red ball, raised both hands, and showed it to the crowd below.

At the same time, the forbidden army on the city gate also shouted in unison: “Number three, number three!”

The call for the first number of the lottery ticket was also heard by the people on both sides of Vermilion Bird Street. The imperial army shouted all the way and passed to the rear. In a moment, the whole crowd on Vermilion Bird Street could hear clearly.

After the first number was shaken out, a huge sound wave broke out again on the very quiet Vermilion Bird Street.

Those people who are anxiously waiting to buy lottery tickets with their hands in hand, some cheer and scream, some make depressed sighs.

“Twenty-ninth! Twenty-ninth!…” The lottery numbers were constantly being shaken, and the numbers burst on the Vermilion Bird Street below, causing waves of commotion.

When the last blue ball number was shaken, there was wail like ghosts and howl like wolves on Vermilion Bird Street, with all sounds.

“I won! I won! Second prize! Daozu is up, I won! Hahahaha, five 10 gold taels!”

“Congratulations, Dalang, You can have a treat!”

“Today, Pingkangfang, I will treat you, you are not drunk or return!”

“haha, I also won the third prize, also Not bad! Five tael of gold!”

“Where is the first prize? Did anyone win the first prize? That’s two hundred tael of gold!”

But some people cried with joy, yes People yelled, but no one admitted that they had won the jackpot.

Li Er and Li Wangyou stood on the city gate and looked at the crowd below, and suddenly asked, “Ziyou, wont this prize be won? If no one wins, the people Wouldn’t you think this lottery is a scam?”

When he said that, Li Wangyou also scratched his head.

When he demonstrated the lottery game with Li Er in the Taiji Palace main hall that day, there were only 20 red balls, and the chance of winning was more than 60 1/10000th.

However, after returning to Dingzhou Village, he was mercilessly mocked by the beauty boss.

The beauty boss just asked him to simply calculate how many people would win the first prize if there were 10,000,000 lottery tickets.

Li Wangyou’s calculation made a cold sweat.

According to what he had originally thought, there are only twenty red ball numbers, then he must have to pay for not even the underpants, and he has really become a wealthy boy…

So when the lottery was officially issued, Li Wangyou changed the 20 red ball numbers into one to thirty and thirty red ball numbers.

As a result, the probability of winning the first prize has changed from sixty-four 1/10000th to nine hundred fifty 1/10000th.

He is not sure about replied: “Uncle, shouldn’t it? The lottery sold a total of more than 14 million, and the chance of winning is 9 1 in 1 million. It is said that there are at least one or two. People win the jackpot.”

“What if no one wins the jackpot?” Li Er calculated in his mind, still felt that it was very likely that no one won the jackpot.

Li Wangyou laughed: “Well, hehe, Uncle, my nephew just asked Dai High Official to prepare a lottery ticket, and the number is the number you just drew out. Just in case…”

He didn’t finish speaking, Li Er already understood what he meant and couldn’t help but glared at him.

This bastard youngster is planning to cheat and get a fake first prize to fool the people!
