travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 155 We Are Dealers

Wang Qinian's so-called method is still the lottery ticket mentioned by Zhao Fei last time.

It has to be said that these old guys like to follow the wind the most. When talking about the lottery last time, the old guys still had a dull look on their faces, but this time they seemed to agree.

It seems that the court has no money to rush.

After all, other people are different from the old guy. Now is the time when the Ministry of War is burning money. If the capital chain of the imperial court breaks at this time, among other things, it will first affect the frontline warfare.

You said that if you don't feed the soldiers and don't give them money, will they be able to fight well?
If the frontline battle fails because of this incident, Zhao Fei must be the most angry, followed by Wang Qinian. After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the leader of the Ministry of War.

The imperial court failed in the war, and the imperial court must find someone to take the blame. As the emperor, Zhao Fei must not step down from the altar that belongs to the emperor, so Wang Qinian can only be unlucky.

Therefore, Wang Qinian is more concerned about frontline warfare than anyone else.

He is already old, and it is almost time for the coffin to be finalized. At this time, the old guy cherishes his wings the most. At this moment when he can see the victory on the front line, the old guy will never stand by. The battle on the front line has changed back to the way it used to be.

So this time he directly stood up and said that he could find a way to increase the investment in the lottery in the Cuju competition.

However, this matter still needs to be done in secret. After all, the imperial court prohibits gambling in name.

"How much does Wang Aiqing think she can invest in the lottery?" Zhao Fei asked.

Wang Qinian pondered for a while, and then said: "I suggest that you open more markets this time, and it's best to invest all the funds in the account department's account."

It has to be said that Wang Qinian's idea is very bold. This kind of desperate idea may lead to the complete rupture of the court's capital chain, which is a very dangerous approach.

Therefore, as the Minister of the Household Department, Zhao Zilong immediately stood up and expressed his opposition.

Zhao Zilong said: "Lord Wang, I don't agree with this approach. There is not much money in the account of the household department. If all the money is invested, once the money is lost, then the court will be in big trouble."

"Why did you lose everything?" Wang Qinian narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Lord Wang, since His Majesty is speaking behind closed doors today, there are some things that can be said." Zhao Zilong said: "Although the imperial court expressly prohibits officials from participating in gambling, I think all of you who are here today have participated in gambling. Your Majesty Wang , do you agree with my statement?"

"Not bad." Wang Qinian nodded.

"Then my lord, I would like to ask, can gambling be won all the time?" Zhao Zilong said.

"Of course not." Wang Qinian said.

"Then why did Mr. Wang make such a risky suggestion?" Zhao Zilong looked at Wang Qinian deeply.

Wang Qinian also looked at Zhao Zilong, and suddenly smiled and said, "Don't Mr. Zhao know that we are dealers?"

"I know." Zhao Zilong said: "But the banker also loses sometimes, and the court cannot afford to lose at such times."

"Master Zhao." Wang Qinian said slowly and elongated his voice: "Master Zhao, you have to know that we are not just bankers, we are also bankers who can manipulate the outcome, or in other words, we are bankers who can pay thousands at any time."

For Wang Qinian's words, Zhao Fei agreed with both hands. In fact, when he proposed the football lottery project, he had made up his mind.

Zhao Fei had blown wind in Wang Qinian's ear more than once, but the old guy kept pretending not to understand.

Unexpectedly, under Zhao Zilong's persecution this time, he opened his mouth and revealed his true thoughts.

Wang Qinian was right, the imperial court was not only a banker, but also a banker who could manipulate the outcome.

Everyone bet on the team's victory or loss, but which team won and which team lost, to put it bluntly, it was not a matter of Wang Qinian's words.

All the teams are members of the military department, and the chief of the military department speaks. How could these small soldiers of the military department not listen.

As far as this is concerned, Zhao Fei turned his face to look at Zhao Zilong, who was blushed by Wang Qinian's words, and said: "Zhao Aiqing, I agree with Wang Aiqing's statement, we are not just bankers. .”

Seeing that Zhao Fei had already said that, Zhao Zilong couldn't say anything more, but just retreated to his position sullenly.

Zhao Fei looked around the group of ministers and found that everyone's eyes were flickering except for Wang Qinian and Liu Yong, so he couldn't help but said again: "Everyone, I think I have made it very clear about the lottery ticket last time, regardless of the lottery ticket. How much money is sold, the imperial court will withdraw at least half of the money for the so-called public welfare construction, and only half of our total sales will be used to cash out the bonus. Get half of the proceeds from it."

"As for what the two Aiqing Wang and Zhao just said, it doesn't actually affect the lottery revenue." Zhao Fei went on to say, "However, what Wang Aiqing just said just gave us an idea, that is, our court can not only To sell lottery tickets, you have to gamble on the periphery, as for what this periphery is, I think everyone should be clear."

The so-called periphery refers to the handicap offered by the underground casinos outside. The gambling methods set up by such casinos are various. For Cuju, they may bet on the number of goals scored in the game, the scores of the two teams, and the score of the first goal. Who is the person and so on.

Because it is too difficult to guess, the odds set by underground casinos are far higher than that of government-run casinos and various private casinos. Betting in such underground casinos, once you guess correctly, it is really a huge profit.

Because they set high odds, they attracted many people to "get rich". The dream of becoming a millionaire overnight is not only in modern society, but also in ancient people.

According to what Zhao Fei meant, he would not only issue lottery tickets to earn money from the common people during this Cuju period, but also go to outside non-governmental casinos and underground casinos to place bets and earn money from these casinos.

After all, as Wang Qinian said, the imperial court is fully capable of manipulating the results of the game, and of course it can also obtain huge profits from the strange gambling in peripheral casinos.

Thinking of the huge amount of money that was about to enter his pocket, Zhao Fei almost went crazy.

Faced with Zhao Fei who had fallen into madness face to face, none of the officials dared to refute Zhao Fei's opinion.

In the end, Qin Hui bit the bullet and came out and said, "According to what Your Majesty said, the lottery and gambling can indeed temporarily relieve the financial pressure of the court, but these things are gambling after all, and the court clearly prohibits gambling. Things don't always work out after all..."

Qin Hui originally wanted to continue talking, to persuade Zhao Fei not to take crooked ways as the right way, but he was interrupted by Zhao Fei before he finished speaking.

Zhao Fei said: "You are right, this gambling is not a long-term solution, we can earn a lot of money the first time, but the second time when the other party is alert, we will definitely not be fooled again. The plan is to raise a hen that can lay golden eggs for the imperial court, not for the imperial court to kill the hen to get the eggs, I understand these things, so when it comes to doing this specifically this time, Wang Qinian."

Zhao Fei looked at Wang Qinian, who immediately stood up.

"I will leave this matter to you in detail, and Zhao Zilong will assist in handling it." Zhao Fei looked at Zhao Zilong again, and Zhao Zilong also stood up quickly. Zhao Fei continued: "When the two of you are specifically doing this matter, you must Be careful, you must not do something like killing a chicken to get an egg, Zhao Zilong, you look at it, it will probably solve the court's expenses in the past few months, so let's stop."

"Observe the order." Wang Qinian and Zhao Zilong said at the same time.

"Yeah." Zhao Fei nodded, looked at the officials and said, "This wool needs to be cut day by day, but it can't be done with the scissors, and the sheep will freeze to death."

"The ministers would like to follow His Majesty's instructions." All the ministers nodded.

Qin Hui stood there in embarrassment. His original intention was actually similar to that of Zhao Fei, but before he could speak, Zhao Fei finished what he wanted to say, which made Qin Hui a little embarrassed.

But Qin Hui is the prime minister after all, and his skill in this aspect is far beyond that of ordinary people, so he congratulated Zhao Fei with the cheek.

Zhao Fei accepted Qin Hui's flattery, after all, he also felt that he was quite remarkable.

But today's matter is not about the lottery, Zhao Fei still remembers it.

"Everyone." Zhao Fei coughed twice and said, "I'm going to discuss matters behind closed doors today. To put it bluntly, it's still to solve the financial problems of the imperial court."

All the ministers stopped complimenting Zhao Fei one after another, and pretended to be listening to the teacher's lecture seriously.

Zhao Fei was quite satisfied with everyone's attitude, so he continued: "Just now, everyone proposed a lot of solutions, the best of which are the lottery and gambling."

Zhao Fei paused for a moment, then continued: "It's just that everyone knows that the court is an upright court, and the money won from these gambling is not a long-term solution, nor is it an upright move. To solve the financial problems of the court, we must Fundamentally, it should be resolved with dignified means, I say so, and you all agree."

Everyone was not stupid, of course they nodded in agreement, they all said that what His Majesty said was right and what His Majesty said was good, there was a lot of approval, and there was absolutely no voice of resistance.

"And I came to you today to find an upright method." Zhao Fei said: "But on this, you haven't given me a satisfactory answer. I don't know if you have ideas and dare not speak up, or if you are real rice." have a thought."

When Zhao Fei said this, everyone said that the ministers were dull and didn't have any good ideas. It was really the fault of the ministers that they couldn't solve His Majesty's worries and problems.

Zhao Fei waved his hand and said, "I don't want to listen to these high-sounding words. Since you said no, I will pretend that you didn't, but this matter has to be resolved."

Zhao Fei picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, and continued: "Since you can't come up with any good ideas, let's go back to the original point of the story and let me tell my thoughts."

Hearing what Zhao Fei said, everyone cast their curious eyes on Zhao Fei.
