"And some old rice? Chen Mi? ”

Yang Reform was a little overjoyed, so that he could spend one less expense?

"Your Majesty, yes, there has always been enough rice stored in the inner treasury in case of emergency." Wang Chengen is an old eunuch, and he is still clear about this.

Reserve grain? Yang reform's heart moved, remembered, this Jingshi, is a royal land, the residence of dignitaries, it is impossible to have no reserve grain, remember the history of the Ming Dynasty, the siege of the Jingshi in the Houjin Dynasty, robbery, the time is as long as several months, but I have not heard that the Jingshi food is not enough, may be a little nervous, but absolutely not to the point of not being able to eat, it can be seen that the reserve system of the Ming Dynasty is also very complete.

"Inside the stock? Reserve grain? Doesn't that mean that I can pay for these old rice as white grain this year? Yang asked happily.

Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, yes, but Chen rice alone is not enough, you still need to pay some silver taels, it is estimated that it will be enough, and it will be replaced with new rice for storage in the coming year, but it just empties the old rice of the past years...... "Wang Chengen was also ruthless, and decided to rather offend the civil and military officials, eunuchs, Jingying, etc., let them all eat Chen rice, and save some money for the emperor, no matter what, Wang Chengen firmly stood on the emperor's side.

“…… Haha, okay, big companion, this is a good idea, replacing the old rice in the warehouse with new rice can also save a lot of expenses......" Yang Reform appreciated Wang Chengen's idea very much, how much money did it save! This year, the wild boar skin will not enter the customs, that is to say, this year's reserve system, you can temporarily take the risk of clearing the warehouse, and next year it will be replaced with new rice, Yang Reform is happy again, and he is very glad that he knows the history and calmly copes with it.

Of course, this is not good news for those people in the capital who live on white grain and eat white grain every day, and their hatred is not felt by Yang Reform now. If Yang Gai knew about it, he would also say to him: If you want to hate, hate the person who proposed to exempt the white grain.

……

Nap.

Although he was slaughtered by those ministers today and hemorrhaged heavily, Yang Reform's decision to use Chen rice to pay for this year's white grain can save a lot of money, and the actual cost is much less, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune.

It's a little tangled, but it's still acceptable.

The nap was not long, only an hour, and soon the little eunuch woke up the emperor. Yang Gengai was ready to wash up and go to the barracks of the New Army to train and cultivate the loyalty of the gun.

Wang Chengen walked over and said, "Your Majesty, then Li Laifu asked to see him, saying that he had something important to report to His Majesty." ”

"Li Laifu? The one in charge of the auction? Yang Gengai got up, still a little confused.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the person. Your Majesty wants to summon you? Wang Chengen asked.

Yang Reform was also thinking about whether to summon him, but he didn't do a single thing that he handed over to him, let him sell the collection in the palace, and he didn't sell a single one, and he was going to let him sell lottery tickets, but the lottery didn't come out. This man is really unlucky. Do you want to waste time on him......

Li Laifu also walked nervously outside the palace gate, very nervous, since the first time he entered the palace and received the emperor's task, Li Laifu has not been stable for a day, and he has been thinking about how to sell the collection in the palace all day long, but the eunuchs in the palace give him obvious marks, who dares to buy it? It can be said that he was pitted by that eunuch, of course, he didn't end well, so he went to Fengyang to burn incense. The second time, the emperor is going to let himself sell what lottery tickets, and he is ready to do a big job, but unfortunately, there is news that the lottery can't go on, which makes Li Laifu very anxious, and finally hooked up with the emperor, so don't do it? Li Laifu thought about it, and felt that he could only pick up the lottery ticket, and the lottery ticket would go down, and the emperor would treat himself, so, after a long period of suffering, Li Laifu finally "designed" a relatively simple "lottery ticket", which did not need to be as complicated as the emperor said, what was collected, etc., so he immediately packed up to see the emperor, hoping to seize this last opportunity, Li Laifu also wanted to live a good life of the Venerable Master. I don't want to be just a businessman.

Li Laifu was anxious and waited for his "judge", a little eunuch who passed the word.

Li Laifu hurriedly greeted him and asked flatteringly, "Father-in-law, but Your Majesty is going to see me?" ”

The little eunuch said a little impatiently: "Chief Administrator Wang asked me to send a message to you, saying that Your Majesty wants to see you, hurry up and come with our family." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he took Li Laifu into the palace.

Li Laifu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grass people, Li Laifu, knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Li Laifu kowtowed seriously.

"Li Laifu? I heard you have something very important for me? Yang Gengai found that this unlucky guy's hair seemed to be all white, he was not like this a few days ago, it seems that he is also suffering! I was very impatient, but seeing that this person worked so hard and hard, I was embarrassed to be impatient with him anymore. The fire in the morning hasn't finished yet.

"Your Majesty, the grass people thought hard all night, and finally came up with a new 'lottery' for Your Majesty, the way to play this lottery is very simple, buy it immediately, redeem the prize immediately, do not need to go through a lot of anti-counterfeiting, only need to print it in advance, and do not need to collect documents every time......" Li Laifu walked a little out of breath, but said his "invention", immediately did not breathe, seemed quite confident.

What rice? Instant Ticket? This one...... Yang Reform is speechless,Yang Reform is actually ready to get this kind of lottery,This poor man's "painkiller",Yang Reform is not ready to give up anyway,But these days are too busy,No time to engage in this thing,But I didn't expect,A person in the Ming Dynasty,I only heard myself say a few times about the lottery play,I realized the instant lottery that is,This makes Yang Reform quite shocked!

“…… It's true? Instant Lottery? "Yang thought he was dreaming. Touched his eyes with his hand, apparently, not a dream.

"Your Majesty, the grass people really made this simple lottery, the grass people these days, the night hard thinking about the various ways to play the lottery that His Majesty said, as much as possible, and finally lived up to the wishes, the grass people made this simple lottery, guaranteed to sell cheap, no one will counterfeit ......"

There is pressure to be motivated, looking at Li Laifu's white hair, Yang Gai's heart was somewhat touched, it has only been a few days, and the hair that is still relatively black has turned white, which shows how terrible this mental consumption is.

……

Yang Reform's impression of Li Laifu has changed greatly, from the impression of an unlucky guy just now, to a persistent, patient, and self-motivated strongman. As a result, his voice to Li Laifu became more "gentle".

"Li Laifu, do you have a sample?"

"Your Majesty, the grass people have it, and the grass people have already made it. Please look at ...... Your Majesty" After speaking, Li Laifu carefully took out a red cloth bag from his clothes pocket, and carefully opened the red cloth bag, which contained several small card-like things. Li Laifu took it in his hand and held it above his head respectfully, waiting for the emperor to look at it.

Wang Chengen walked over, took the red envelope, looked at it carefully, took out a few "cards" from it, took it in his hand and touched it, and then carefully presented it to the emperor's table. did not let Yang Reform directly hold the "card" in his hand, it seems that Wang Chengen is still very concerned about the emperor's safety.

Yang Gengai noticed that the card was made of slightly stiffer paper, cut into a rectangle, larger than the scratch card of later generations, and on the card, on one side was some patterns drawn with similar sketching techniques, and on the other side, some words were written, and some numbers were written, which was estimated to be numbered or something.

"What are you going to do with this thing?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, this thing of the grass people, you only need to remove the place on the back that is covered with paper, and you can see the marks inside, and the grass uses needles, dips some ink, and dots some marks on this paper......"

Yang Reform took a closer look, and sure enough, the side where the numbers were written was sealed with hard paper below, and there was a tear on the side.

Of course, the pattern is not as bright and colorful as that of later generations, and the paper is not as "good" as that of later generations, nor is it so well-made, and there is no need to "scratch" the prize area. This reminded Yang of the time in the nineties, when the city sold this kind of scratch lottery, the villagers gathered in groups, and the people from the villages went to the city to scratch the lottery tickets. What I still remember is the loudspeaker on the podium announcing who has won the grand prize again, who has received a motorcycle, and occasionally, in the prize redemption area of the small prize, the housewife is worried about whether to redeem an umbrella or a hanger.
