The place where these people rushed outside was Confucius Temple outside Nanjing.

因为什么事情过去了?

That is also related to His Royal Highness, who promulgated a new thing in Nanjing City, that is lottery.

All time travelers will tinker with this thing, so Zhu Ciyang is no exception. Why tinker with this?

就因为这种东西投入小,只需要用朝廷的信誉做担保,就能够收获一大笔钱,而且是很多人想不到的一大笔钱.

Of course, the gameplay is different now than the 21st century.

朝廷派遣御前侍卫,在夫子庙周围找到一块空地,然后挂在树上七个坛子.

The common people can also watch there. After all, there is constant incense there, and there are many people coming and going, so they are being watched by everyone.

When it comes the lottery day, the imperial guards will break these seven jars in public and then publish the numbers inside to see how many prizes each person has won and how much prizes they can get in the end.

In short, this is the third issue. People don’t know how to play the first two issues. After about half a month of popularity, the people can now play.

It only takes two copper coins to get a lottery ticket. If you win, it will be five million yuan and a total of five thousand taels of silver.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, 5,000 taels of silver will be enough for them to spend a while.

So this thing is full of gimmicks. You can use two copper coins to get 5,000 taels of silver. Who doesn’t want to go?

Besides, even if you can't win the first prize, there are several levels below. Even if you are at the last level, you will have the chance to get your two copper plates back.

What's more, this is done by His Royal Highness's Royal Guard himself, so there will definitely be no cheating.

It turns out that some private casinos also have this way of playing, but over time, these cheating incidents of private casinos have been revealed.

但是太子殿下主持的这个彩票就不一样了.

After each lottery draw, the court will pick a special official here to draw numbers.

大箱子里有几百张纸片.

每张纸片上有一个数字.

All the paper pieces are the same, without any marks at all. Of course, the officials drawn each time are different. After the drawing is completed, all the paper pieces will be sent back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and use a new one next time.

Every time a number is drawn, the imperial guards immediately seal it in the jar and then hang it in place, waiting for the lottery day to break.

This is also considered to have achieved absolute fairness in this era.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just promulgated, many officials said that Zhu Cilang would definitely lose money. You should know that each lottery ticket only sells two eldest sons, but the first prize costs 5,000 taels of silver. The total prizes cost more than 9,000 taels of silver.

If this is accumulated by these two copper plates, how many people will it take?

In the first issue, Zhu Cilang did lose something.

总共卖出了大约一万一千两银子.

The various awards are already more than 9,000 taels of silver, and with these people working from it, it basically means not making any profit or losing money.

But the second time is different, because many ordinary people have seen the first winner really receive the money.

This also greatly stimulated them. Everyone could take out the two copper coins. The most important thing was some people who dreamed of getting rich, and they wanted to buy dozens of copper coins.

The second sales amounted to 90,000 taels of silver.

In this way, Zhu Cilang can make a net profit of 80,000 taels of silver.

As for the so-called labor costs, all the guards of the imperial court, He Zaichao, were used. Even if they were not allowed to do this, Zhu Cilang would have to pay these people a salary.

By this third time, just one Nanjing city had already received 150,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Cilang finally understood why there were all kinds of lottery tickets in the 21st century, because this thing is a profitable thing. As long as it can be issued, it will be a profitable deal.

Moreover, because of the issuance of lottery tickets, Nanjing Confucius Temple became more developed, and Zhu Cixuan directly built a huge market on the wasteland.

This is the earliest land development in this era. It divides it into several parts. If you want to do business in this place, you must pay rent to the court. At the beginning, the rent was not much.

But as the market becomes more and more popular, more and more people will come here to apply, and then you have to start bidding.

Zhu Cilang did everything in Nanjing City by himself, and all the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also followed him to learn.

Nanjing City is a model. After Nanjing City is completed, all surrounding cities must learn from it, and these can be used as income from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After the third issue of the lottery was issued, Zhu Cilang quickly expanded to several surrounding cities.

Of course, not every city needs to make a few jars and use so much manpower and material resources, but there is no way to broadcast TV in this era, so Zhu Cixuan took out another thing, that is, the newspaper.

If you publish the winning results in newspapers and transport them to surrounding cities, if all the surrounding cities are smashed, then there will be many disadvantages.

报纸这种东西刚开始的时候也亏本.

Although each piece costs one copper plate, many people are unwilling to spend the money.

However, Zhu Cilang is still very good at it. Since we are the highest leader of this era, we have the ability to promote this kind of thing to society.

Zhu Cilang deliberately expressed his own opinions in the newspaper, and then asked the ministers in court the next day. Those who had read the newspaper could naturally say it. If they had not read it, Zhu Cilang would show great displeasure.

It will be fine immediately now. All the ministers are not fools, and they only have a copper coin. Every day they come out with the most important time, that is, the time to read the newspaper.

Officials are the most capable of leading fashion. When these imperial ministers start reading newspapers, the people who are living with them also have to read newspapers, but you can't read a newspaper with the master, right?

At this time, this habit began to spread. After the servants who work in big families went out, some confidential news would be heard, and the news that Wang Erye and others learned from the mouths of these servants.

Soon some people discovered that these news was the same as in newspapers. As long as people with financial ability were financially able, they would choose to buy a newspaper at this time.

But there are still many people in society who don’t know how to buy newspapers even if they have money.

Zhu Cilang was not worried about such a thing. After enlarging all the newspapers, he placed them in more than a dozen places in Nanjing City. The court specially sent people to read them...
