When all the numbers came out, there was a huge sound of loss in the square, and countless number one tickets were thrown into the air, forming a brief "snow scene".
There were very few people who won the third prize and were holding up their first prize tickets in the crowd and calling their friends.
Although the money is not much, only a few ounces, but winning the prize itself is enough to make people happy.
Zhang Dongxiang looked at the numbers on the wooden board on the stage stupidly and rubbed his eyes.
Then he slowly took out the top-ranking ticket in his hand and compared them one by one.
Li Yansong and the other man beside him no longer avoided Fang Zhengyi. After all, they had already lost face in front of this kid and there was nothing to hide.
The two of them took a quick look, threw the winning tickets away, and looked at the crowd.
"It seems that winning the top prize is much harder than expected..."
"This old man... seems to have been hit..."
Li Yansong and Zheng Qiao instantly became alert and surrounded Zhang Dongxiang.
"Won? Let me see, what's the prize?"
"First class..."
Fang Zhengyi also came over, looked at the lottery ticket and compared it several times, then his face fell.
This old man! How lucky he is! Why didn't he give me my internal quota?
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Dongxiang and said, "Uncle, are you still donating this time?"
Zhang Dongxiang shook his head instinctively.
Are you kidding? Two thousand taels! It's not a small sum no matter how you get it.
Fang Zheng looked at him with disdain, then pulled up his sleeve and said, "Come on, follow me up to the stage to receive the award!"
Zhang Dongxiang had originally felt as if he was in a cloud, but he suddenly regained consciousness after being pulled. He stretched out his sleeves and said anxiously, "I won't go! Let go! Didn't you say you can go within three days? I'll come back tomorrow to get you!"
Fang Zheng looked at him with a playful look: "Oh! Isn't this a trick? I didn't expect that you, Third Uncle, are such a hypocritical hypocrite."
"You said it was great when you won the prize. It seems that money is more important than principles!"
"Hey, let go, what's the point of saying that?" Zhang Dongxiang's old face turned red, regretting that he had said something without thinking just now.
"Alright, alright! Fang Zhengyi, that's enough! Don't you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?" Li Yansong stamped his feet and beat his chest.
Three people at their ages being teased like this by a young guy...it's really unbearable!
Fang Zheng stopped teasing him when he saw this: "Okay! Congratulations, Third Uncle. Remember to come to the square to claim your prize tomorrow. I will definitely send someone to welcome you!"
Zhang Dongxiang adjusted his clothes awkwardly, then returned to normal and put on a straight face: "Ahem... got it!"
..............
Inside Denjin Square.
Yan Guoan looked at the group of people in front of him with a sullen face. Compared with half a month ago, there were fewer scholars gathered here.
I heard from others that the opera reviewers at Ban Shan Fang were extremely interesting, and many people were embarrassed to come back after going there.
Those who are left now can be considered to be determined and have never gone to Banshanfang to see those messy things.
Yan Guoan couldn't help but get angry when he thought about the messy dramas that had been staged in Mid-Levels recently.
If I lose again in the gambling fight, I will be so ashamed to live like a human being!
"Everyone, the recent development of Banshanfang is no less than that of Dengjinfang. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, what do you think? We are good at studying in Xuanming Pavilion every day, we don't have any ideas.
We haven't been to Mid-Levels either...
Su Rongxuan glanced at everyone and couldn't help feeling a little proud.
A bunch of idiots, you just stayed in the pavilion and studied hard when Lord Yan told you to? It's stupid not to take the initiative to help your superiors!
Su Rongxuan took a step forward and said, "Your Excellency, I know a little bit about the news in Banshanfang. The recent top-ranking ticket has caused a sensation in the capital. I believe they have made a lot of money from it."
"We can definitely come up with a similar lottery method. With money, why would we have to worry about development?"
Yan Guoan said calmly: "The lottery method is a special permission granted by the emperor... No one else is allowed to use it, and don't mention it again!"
Everyone in the city knows that the champion ticket can make a lot of money! But Fang Zhengyi was so cunning that he blocked all the roads in advance.
Others can’t intervene now even if they want to, otherwise why wouldn’t Yan Guoan want to do it?
Su Rongxuan pretended to be in deep thought, paced forward and said slowly: "The people have witnessed your achievements in governance. Now the development is already very good. It will be difficult to make further progress in the short term."
"Banshanfang has only developed by cheating people out of money, and all the money has been used to build bridges and roads. It can be said that it has no educational effect, and the people are even more crude and ignorant."
"I have another idea. I heard that the current emperor doesn't like Buddhism and thinks it is not productive. There is a new monk in Yuhufang who is admired by countless people. If we invite the monk to Fuyun Temple in Banshanfang and promote him..."
\"I think those ignorant people in Banshanfang will flock to it in the short term. Openly promoting Buddhism will make the poor even poorer. It will be successful within a month! \"
"Then the Lord will have something to say in the court."
Several young people in the crowd fell silent when they heard what he said, feeling very uncomfortable.
Didn't you say you would help educate the people? Your behavior is like seeing the neighbor studying well, but instead of competing with him to see who works harder, you tear up his book. It's really despicable...
A few people thought about it and felt ashamed to be associated with such people, so they turned around and left silently.
Yan Guoan saw it, but he had no expression on his face and did not stop it.
"This is a brilliant plan, but I have never heard of this eminent monk before."
Someone in the crowd raised his hand and said, "I know! Master Huijue of Yuhufang has appeared like a comet in a short period of time. No one can match him in talking about Buddhism. Countless people have come to him for consecration. I heard that he charges a lot of money!"
Yan Guoan smiled disdainfully.
Charge? It seems like a scammer seeking fame and reputation.
"This man had profound knowledge of Buddhism. Once, a villain spat at him, but Master Huijue wiped the spit in his face and even wrote a "Notes on the Food Pond" on the spot. The villain was so ashamed that he repented. After that, the number of people who visited the master began to be countless."
"It is said that seeing the Master's face brings peace to one's heart. The Master suffered a lot, and neither physical disability nor mental insult could shake him in the slightest. The money he collected was only for the purpose of repairing temples."
"It is extremely difficult to meet Master Huijue nowadays!"
Hiss~ There is such a magnanimous person?
Yan Guoan couldn't help but admire him a little. It seemed that he was judging others by his own mean standards.
"Okay, Su Rongxuan, I admire you very much, so I'll leave this matter to you. Can you invite Master Huijue to Fuyun Temple?"
Su Rongxuan's eyes flashed with ecstasy: "Thank you, sir! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
