Datang romantic little landlord

When the Jinwu Guards who were fully armed and armored began to enter the venue to maintain order, the turbulent crowd in Liufang City was finally contained.

No matter how great the temptation of gold is, it cannot withstand the threat of the shining weapons of the left and right Jinwu Guards.The people in Chang'an who were eager to buy lottery tickets finally calmed down a bit and stopped pushing hard into Liufang City.

Even so, under the protection of the palace guards, Li Wangyou, Li Er and the others finally managed to squeeze into the lottery sales point in Pingkangfang after a lot of effort.

These lottery sales points are all equipped with long wooden counters, and behind them sit a row of clerks from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all of whom are very busy.

In front of the counter where lottery tickets were sold, it was so messy that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Even though there were county government servants, Marquis Wu and the Jinwu Guards around to maintain order, there was still chaos in front of the counter.

The people who were eager to buy lottery tickets almost knocked down the wooden counter, which made Li Wangyou feel anxious for a while.

The people of Datang, it seems that there is an urgent need to popularize the awareness of queuing.

But thinking about the time when Li Wangyou crossed over in later generations, the country was still vigorously promoting civilized queuing and cultivating citizens' awareness of queuing, and Li Wangyou was relieved.It seems unrealistic to ask people in Tang Dynasty 300 years ago to also have the awareness of queuing.

Understanding is understanding, but such a mess is prone to accidents and affects the efficiency of everyone buying lottery tickets.

Li Er also frowned: "Ziyou, there are so many people, I'm afraid it's easy to cause trouble. Shall I ask the Jinwu Guard to disperse the crowd?"

Li Wangyou quickly shook his head, this lottery ticket is a new thing.Nowadays, the common people come here to rush to buy under the stimulus of gold.If the Jinwu Guards are allowed to disperse the people, it may affect the sales of lottery tickets.

But Li Er's worry was not unreasonable, it was indeed inappropriate for so many people to be crowded here.

There must be a way to get the best of both worlds.

Looking at the crowds crowded in front of the counter, Li Wangyou suddenly slapped his head in frustration, why did he forget the queue railing and the one-meter noodle?

He hastily stretched out his hand to summon the guards on the side, and ordered them to deliver a batch of bamboo immediately, and then from the general supervisor to find a group of carpenters to come here.

Li Er didn't know why, but he didn't stop him.

Bamboo and craftsmen arrived soon, and Jin Wuwei's forbidden army obeyed Li Wangyou's order and temporarily cleared all the people in the lottery sales point to let the craftsmen enter.

Li Wangyou took the pen and paper, drew a simple schematic diagram, and asked the craftsman who will be the supervisor to use bamboo to make the queuing channel.

It is very simple to make the queuing channel. Just saw the bamboo into bamboo poles of appropriate length and tie them up with hemp rope.

This thing couldn't be easier for craftsmen like general supervisors, and Li Wangyou made it clear after a little explanation.

It didn't take a stick of incense, and there were more than [-] bamboo queuing channels in the lottery sales point.

At this time, Dai Zhou also rushed over with a group of scribes.

After receiving Li Erkou's order, he urgently mobilized more than a hundred clerks from various yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and distributed them to six lottery sales outlets for support.

After some busy work, the lottery sales point reopened again.

With the Jinwu Guards guarding the scene to maintain order, and the bamboo queuing passages to physically separate the people, the previous chaotic swarming situation never happened again.

Coupled with the help of new scribes, the sales speed of lottery tickets has increased a lot in a short time.

Seeing that this method was effective, Li Wangyou hurriedly asked those craftsmen to go to other five workshops to carry out renovations according to this method to ensure the smooth progress of lottery ticket sales.

Seeing these common people excitedly holding up the lottery tickets they just bought and crowding out the crowd, Li Er couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Ziyou, is this the right move? I'm a little uncertain. You see, they all come here with hope, and it's possible that none of them will win the lottery. Isn't this deceiving them?"

Li Wangyou didn't think so, he shook his head: "Uncle, as long as this lottery is operated properly, it should be regarded as a good thing for the country and the people. Two pennies are not a burden for the common people. This money is pooled together, but it can fill the national treasury. It can also allow the court to have enough energy to protect the people, which is a great merit."

The "guaranteed interest" he mentioned refers to the measures to support the people and make them prosper, which is the welfare system of Datang.

"Zhou Li" records: "Protect the interests of six people to support the people: one is the charity, the other is the old age, the third is the poverty, the fourth is the poor, the fifth is the leniency, and the sixth is the wealth."

These are the Six Policies of Guaranteeing Interests, "salesman" is to raise children, "old age" is to support the elderly, "rejuvenating the poor" and "compassion to the poor" are to relieve the poor, "severe illness" is public health, and "safety" is stability the rich.

What Li Wangyou said was not wrong, just like the welfare lottery in later generations, in his advice to Li Er, he also divided the sales amount of the lottery into several parts.

[-]% becomes the lottery bonus, [-]% goes to the state treasury, [-]% is used to protect the interests of the people, and the remaining [-]% goes to the palace and the Li family.

Although Li Wangyou has been busy for a long time, it seems that he only got 4% of the shares, which is very small, but this is a lottery!In the future, once the results of the pilot test in Chang'an City are good, it will be pushed to Guanzhong Road, and even the whole Datang.

According to the rough calculations of Li Wangyou and the beautiful boss, even 4% of the lottery revenue is a huge and suffocating number.

Li Wangyou's words caused Li Er to nod after pondering for a while, "Ziyou, what you said is very true. It is an old way to seek the country. If this matter is really successful, I will definitely give you a reward and a title."

ah?Another honor?

If Li Er told others what he said, he would probably go crazy with joy, but Li Wangyou was taken aback and quickly declined.

"Uncle, this is what my nephew should do. Don't mention the matter of becoming a nobleman again. My nephew is already very satisfied as the founding viscount. My nephew is still young, and I am afraid that the courtiers will criticize me if I add a title. , Uncle, please don’t mention this matter again.”

Li Wangyou's words made Li Er snort coldly: "Hmph, Ziyou, you have contributed to the community, so what can others say? Whoever has an opinion, let him speak to me!"

Li Er's domineering words made Li Wangyou smile wryly, he was not being hypocritical, but it was really too troublesome to add a title.

For Tang Xungui, being honored by Li Er is not only equal to glory and wealth, but also an honor.

As for Li Wangyou and the beautiful boss, they still haven't really regarded themselves as Tang people.Traveling through the past three months, to them, this prosperous Tang Dynasty is still like a dream or a game, so unreal.

In Li Wangyou's view, whether it is a man from Jianguo County or a son from Jianguo County, they are just amulets.Given how close he is to Li Er, these titles don't mean much.

But Li Er said so, and Li Wangyou didn't want to sweep his face, so he could only vaguely say: "Hey, nephew thanked uncle. But I don't know how much lottery tickets will be sold today?"

359 Did you buy it?

What Li Wangyou said was just to change the topic, but it also aroused Li Er's interest.

He roughly estimated the number of people who flocked to Pingkangfang to buy lottery tickets today, and said uncertainly: "I estimate that there are at least 9 to [-] people who bought lottery tickets today. After this day, I am afraid that there will be more than one million dollars."

Li Wangyou chuckled, "Uncle, my nephew thinks that I might have 150 million yuan."

"Oh? Ziyou, are you so confident?"

"My nephew has confidence in my uncle! It's my uncle Wencheng's martial arts, who built me ​​a prosperous Tang Dynasty. Now that the world is in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the people are recuperating, living and working in peace and contentment, this is why they have spare money to come here to buy lottery tickets. Speaking of which, it's all uncle's. Credit."

Li Wangyou's flattery was quite well done, hearing Li Erlong's joyful face, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh out loud.

But Cheng Chumo waited for the dandy, but secretly gave Li Wangyou a thumbs up, expressing his admiration for others.

Datang naturally did not give a thumbs up, but Li Wangyou has this habit, and the dandies have learned from him after being in contact with him for a long time.

Even when Li Wangyou pointed his middle finger at them, this group of dandies are naturally not stupid, they already knew that they were deceived by Li Wangyou's sign language meaning "brother".

It is said that it is not easy to learn well, and it takes 1 minute to learn badly.Nowadays, after learning the true meaning of the middle finger, all the dandies enjoy it endlessly, which makes Li Wangyou regret that he taught these bastards a lesson.

Li Er was not going to deal with government affairs today, so he led Li Wangyou and his party to go through all six lottery sales outlets, and took out [-] Wen, and lined up to buy ten lottery tickets in person.
