Chapter 315 Sage Confucius
After Su Chen announced how to play the lottery, people from all dynasties and generations were excited.

While the emperors of various dynasties were still thinking about the rules for winning the lottery, the common people were already eager to give it a try.

When they heard that the first prize was as high as 10,000 taels of silver, the people of all dynasties were all excited.

Each lottery ticket costs only two cents, and once you win, you can receive ten thousand taels of silver.

This is simply an opportunity to get rich overnight, and no ordinary person will be able to withstand this temptation.

Two pennies is not much, and every common person can afford it.

But ten thousand taels of silver is something that these ordinary people will never see in a lifetime.

As long as they have these ten thousand taels of silver, they can reach the sky in one step and become landlords respected by everyone.

No one would refuse the opportunity to get rich overnight with two pennies.

In their era, there was no possibility for ordinary people to cross class.

From the moment they were born, they were destined to work hard for a living and live forever at the bottom of society.

Of course, that doesn't mean there isn't a chance to soar into the sky.

As long as you can get a good name, you can become a master and an official respected by everyone.

However, only a small number of people can achieve class crossing through reading, and the vast majority of ordinary people simply cannot take this path.

So all in all, it is more reliable to win the jackpot by buying lottery tickets.

As long as they are lucky and win the grand prize of 10,000 taels of silver, they will completely achieve a class leap.

The common people know the concept of ten thousand taels of silver best.

In years of drought and famine, farmers had no choice but to sell their land at low prices.

According to the calculation of 5 taels of silver per acre of land, 10,000 taels of silver can buy 2,000 acres of land.

In other words, if they are lucky enough to win the first prize, they will be equivalent to a landowner with two thousand acres of land.

You know, an ordinary landowner only has dozens or hundreds of acres of land. With two thousand acres of land, he can be regarded as a big landowner from all over the country.

That's a big landowner! Even the county master must be polite when he sees him.

At the thought of having the opportunity to become a big landowner with just two pennies, people from all dynasties and generations all had their hearts beating fast and their breathing quickening, as if the first prize was within reach.

And more importantly, this opportunity to reach the sky in one step is not just once, but countless.

They heard the anchor say very clearly that the cycle of each lottery is seven days.

In other words, if you don’t win the lottery this time, there will be another chance until you win the jackpot.

Thinking that there are so many opportunities to change their destiny, the people are so excited that they can't wait to buy lottery tickets now.

Compared to crossing social strata to gain fame, it is easier to buy lottery tickets.

After all, it is not only difficult to take the exam for merit, but there are also few opportunities. Once you fail the exam three times, it is basically impossible to pass it again.

But buying lottery tickets is different. You have a chance every seven days, and the cost is only two cents.

So no matter how you look at it, if they want to get rich overnight and become landlords, buying lottery tickets is the best choice.

As for the probability of winning the first prize, no one in the common people of all dynasties and generations thinks about this matter. They are all immersed in the fantasy of getting rich overnight.

Many people in various dynasties have the illusion that as long as they buy lottery tickets, God will definitely favor them and let them win the first prize and usher in a life of great wealth.

Even though some people clearly realize that the probability of winning the first prize is very low, they don't take it seriously.

Even if you don’t win the first prize this time, there is still hope next time, and there will be hope next time.

As long as they buy lottery tickets in every issue, they will definitely win the first prize one day.

After all, there are many opportunities, and there will always be a day when God will favor you.

And even if you don't win the first prize, the second and third prizes are pretty good, and the bonuses are also quite large.

And relatively speaking, the winning number combinations for the second and third prizes are larger than those for the first prize, and the chances are greater.

Therefore, they firmly believe that even if they do not win the first prize, they will one day win the second or third prize.

Although the winning amount of the second and third prizes is not clear, it is certainly not low, at least several thousand taels of silver.

For them, thousands of taels of silver are enough to become small landowners, and their family can live a life without worries about food and clothing.

So no matter how you look at it, buying lottery tickets is the best opportunity for ordinary people to change their destiny.

At this moment, countless people from all dynasties and generations are already looking forward to the court starting selling lottery tickets as soon as possible.

"The lottery is the only chance for us people to make a comeback. I can't wait."

"I don't know how future generations came up with the lottery business. It's so smart. It's tailor-made for us ordinary people."

"A lottery ticket only costs two cents. If you are lucky, you can become rich overnight. No one can resist this temptation."

“I buy every lottery ticket, and I don’t believe in the day I don’t win the jackpot.”

"Everyone can afford the lottery. After the court sells the lottery, I will ask all my relatives and friends to buy it. Maybe I will be lucky enough to win."

"If you win the first prize in one lottery ticket, you can get 10,000 taels of silver. So if I buy ten lottery tickets, don't I have a chance to win 100,000 taels?"

"I originally wanted to buy football lottery tickets, but now I think the chance of winning is better with the Lotto."

"I hope the court can start selling lottery tickets soon. I have a hunch that the first prize will definitely be mine."

While the common people of all dynasties and generations were still discussing heatedly, the emperors of each dynasty also realized the huge benefits brought by the Lotto lottery.

As emperors, they naturally know best the people's strong desire to get rich overnight.

You don’t need to think about it to know that once the lottery is launched across the country, people will definitely rush to buy it.

Ying Zheng: I have a hunch that the income from the Lotto lottery is much greater than that of the football lottery.

He originally thought that the lottery could bring considerable benefits to the court, but now it seems that he has far underestimated the contribution of the lottery to the court.

The football lottery alone can bring a lot of revenue to the court, not to mention the Lotto lottery, which is popular among the people.

The Lotto lottery is said to be a type of sports lottery, but it has nothing to do with sports activities.

In his opinion, the importance of the Lotto lottery is far greater than that of the football lottery.

After all, football lottery only has business during games, and the number of people who pay attention to football games is limited.

But the Big Lotto lottery is obviously different. In terms of scale and audience, it is not comparable to the football lottery.

Grand Lotto tickets are sold every seven days, and there are six prizes, so every citizen can participate.

It is obvious that the Grand Lotto lottery will be very popular among the people once it is launched.

Ying Zheng: Li Si, I plan to implement lotteries nationwide as soon as possible, especially the Lotto lottery. What do you think?
Li Si: Your Majesty, Wei Chen has calculated that according to the 5+2 gameplay, the court will definitely make a profit without losing anything.

He had seriously thought that the 5+2 game of Lotto would definitely bring a lot of wealth to the court.

As a result, there will be enough money to promote sports nationwide.

Based on his understanding of the common people, everyone fantasizes about winning the jackpot and becoming rich overnight, so there will inevitably be a trend of buying lottery tickets all over the country. Although there are many number combinations from first to sixth prizes, the probability of winning is extremely low.

35个号码中5个，12个号码中2个，7个号码完全一样的概率极低极低。

So in his opinion, it is completely impossible to hit all 47 numbers among the 7 numbers.

People who want to win the first prize and get 10,000 taels of silver are destined to have no such possibility.

Moreover, since the winning numbers are selected by the court, they can manipulate them to prevent ordinary people from winning the first prize.

But then he thought about it, this was not good, it would easily discourage people from buying lottery tickets.

When ordinary people see that no one has won the first prize, their confidence in buying lottery tickets will be greatly affected.

Soon, in order to encourage more people to buy lottery tickets crazily, he came up with a good way.

Li Si: Your Majesty, I think the court can arrange for many people to win the first prize, so that people will be motivated to buy more lottery tickets.

Ying Zheng originally wanted to reprimand Li Si, but he thought of cheating before he even started.

But then he thought about it, and it seemed that there was no harm in doing so. On the contrary, it would be of great help to the sports industry across the country.

Ying Zheng: I leave the sports lottery to you. The top priority now is to launch the Lotto lottery as soon as possible.

Li Si's face lit up when he heard this. This was a good job, and he immediately thanked Long En.

Seeing everyone discussing the lottery, Su Chen immediately drew everyone's attention back.

"Okay, everyone can discuss the sports lottery in private and start selling now."

As soon as this statement came out, the ancients from all dynasties and generations fell silent.

It’s not too late to discuss it after the lottery is broadcast, let’s rush to buy some ball sports equipment first.

In particular, some emperors from various dynasties also wanted to hold sports games, which would require various ball games.

"The anchor will tell you in advance that all kinds of balls are sold by the box, and there are a hundred in each box."

"Big balls like basketballs, footballs, and volleyballs are all flat. There are special pumps in the box. Everyone needs to pump them up after grabbing them."

"Each box is priced at one hundred taels, and each person is limited to purchasing one box. Everyone is prepared to grab it."

"Various ball sports equipment, three, two, one, link up."

As expected, the moment the product link was put on the shelves, it was snapped up by people from all dynasties who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the word football clearly written on the box in front of him, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Among all ball sports, basketball and football are the most popular, and being able to grab the football is naturally the best.

Then he looked at other people's harvests, and a rare smile appeared on his serious face.

Judging from the results in front of you, there are all kinds of balls.

And the number is quite large, which is more than enough to promote sports across the country.

Su Chen saw that it was getting late, so after the products were sold out, he immediately started the last step.

"Those who have grabbed it will study it slowly after the broadcast is released. Now let's start the lottery to see who is the lucky winner."

As soon as these words came out, people from all dynasties and generations who had grabbed the goods put down what they were doing and concentrated on getting red envelopes.

At the end of the red envelope countdown, the final lucky winner also appeared.

Seeing Lucky Man, Su Chen was stunned. Isn't this the sage Confucius?

When it comes to Confucius, everyone must know it.

Especially in ancient times, out of the need to maintain imperial power, rulers respected Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism, to a very high level.

"Congratulations to the lucky Confucius. I wonder what Confucius would like to ask?"

Ancient people from all dynasties and generations were very excited when they saw that Confucius had won the lottery.

This is Confucius, a saint-like existence.

Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, Sage Kong was put on the altar and worshiped by all the people of the world in all dynasties.

Confucius: Anchor, I would like to know the development of Confucianism in various dynasties and generations, especially whether Confucianism still exists in later generations?

When the anchor introduced Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he noticed the statement that he deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.

Moreover, Confucianism seems to have always been dominant in all dynasties after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This made him extremely curious. After so many years, was Confucianism still the same Confucianism he was familiar with?

"Of course, no problem. The anchor will tell the saint the answer tomorrow night."

"It's getting late. Tomorrow's schedule is still the same. Watch a movie in the afternoon and deliver goods live in the evening."

“That’s it for tonight’s live broadcast, good night everyone, goodbye.”

After Su Chen finished speaking, he went off the air directly. The ancients from various dynasties under the sky were still discussing with unfinished thoughts.

Li Shimin clapped the basketball in his hand. It felt very good and jumped lightly.

But Li Shimin's mind was not on basketball, but on the sports lottery.

After all, sports lottery can bring a lot of wealth to the court, so he can't help but be interested in it.

Especially for the Grand Lotto lottery, the earlier it is implemented, the better it will be for the court.

Li Shimin: Wei Aiqing, I plan to launch the Grand Lotto in Chang'an City tomorrow to see how the sports lottery actually works?
Although sports lottery developed rapidly in later generations, its effectiveness in Datang still needs to be tested.

It just so happens that the Grand Lotto lottery will be released tomorrow for the people of Chang'an City. Let's see how well the people accept it.

In order to test the effect of the lottery as soon as possible, it only takes half a day, not every seven days.

Sell ​​lottery tickets in the morning and draw the lottery directly in the afternoon to see if the final income can meet expectations.

If the people of Chang'an City were really interested in lottery tickets, half a day would be enough for the people of Chang'an City to buy lottery tickets.

If the final lottery revenue is good, it will be promoted to all parts of the country on a seven-day basis.

Wei Zheng: Your Majesty, I will go down and make arrangements right now.

If it is only for the common people of Chang'an City, one night is enough to prepare.

Su Chen had just finished broadcasting, and the people in Chang'an City had not yet returned to their houses to prepare for bed.

While everyone was still discussing the lottery, a piece of news from the palace quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

Tomorrow morning, the imperial court will launch the Grand Lotto lottery in Chang'an City, and the lottery will be drawn that afternoon.

As soon as the news came out, the people in Chang'an City were instantly excited.

They were just discussing when the lottery tickets would be released, but they didn't expect that the time would come so quickly and that they would know the winnings on the same day.

At this moment, all the people in Chang'an City were excited, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
