"Why are you here?" Fang Zhiyi was still somewhat surprised. Chen Huaimin rarely went out, but today he actually came here for the first time.
Liu Acai touched his head a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't understand very well, so I begged him to come."
Fang Zhiyi sighed and forgot to teach these people. Almost all of them were illiterate. However, it was unrealistic to really teach them now, as he was in urgent need of manpower.
Liu Acai looked at Fang Zhiyi's uncertain face and asked cautiously, "Brother, you told me yesterday to shut down the gambling house. If we shut it down for even one day, we'll lose a lot of business."
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand: "From today on, we will not do that business anymore."
"Ah?" Liu Acai stood up. "But if we don't do it, someone else will."
Fang Zhiyi gestured for him to sit down, and Liu Acai sat down obediently.
"I have a bigger business for you." He patted Liu Acai's shoulder.
Liu Acai felt inexplicably pressured.
"Color scroll."
"Lottery ticket?" Liu Acai was a little confused.
"Simply put, it's a lottery," Fang Zhiyi explained. "We hand out ten lottery tickets, each with a number between one and ten. Each ticket costs one cent, and the draw is done on the same day. For example, if number seventy-seven wins, he or she gets fifty cents! One cent for fifty! Do you want to buy one?"
Liu Acai was stunned for a moment: "If I don't win, the loss is one cent, but if I win, it's fifty cents. Of course I'll buy it!"
Chen Huaimin, standing by, had his eyes wide open in shock, a hint of excitement on his face: "Brother, if we give out a thousand, ten thousand... wouldn't that be a big deal?"
Fang Zhiyi looked at him with satisfaction. This kid is smart.
But Liu Acai also thought of a problem: "What if someone uses fakes to cheat us?"
"Hang him by the door to dry."
Liu Acai inexplicably felt that his elder brother was becoming more and more cruel, and even such a bad person felt that it was a bit too much.
"Just kidding, so I need to find something." Fang Zhiyi put his arm around Liu Acai with one hand and Chen Huaimin with the other, and muttered softly.
In the next few days, Fang Zhi had an accident and then locked himself in the house for a few days.
He had previously studied a method of making special marks on paper while studying at university, and he believed that no one in ancient times would have been able to imitate his technique.
“Knowledge is power!”
“Books are the golden house!”
“Grow bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!”
Chen Huaimin, who came to deliver food, heard Fang Zhiyi's slogan and felt that his elder brother had gone crazy. As for the ungrateful person, he must be the ungrateful person who could never be fed.
Nian An was not idle either. He also found that he could not give out his money, and some people even spit at him. Although he didn't know why, he felt that these people were born to be mean.
It was then that he realized that no one seemed to be paying attention to him recently. Everyone was busy with something, and even his "Yi㫅" hadn't greeted him for many days.
His food has become much worse recently. In the past, he would just reach out and someone would add more rice for him, but now he even has to heat up the rice himself, and sometimes he has to eat the same thing as the handyman.
Nian An couldn't stand it anymore. After muttering for a while, he came to the final conclusion that these people finally revealed their true colors.
