Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

I thought about what it would be like after I made some money.

These guards are now unable to walk, so Xu Youjia can ignore the money.

But they can't!

"Okay, I'll split the money between you two. Go play a few games, and I'll play two rounds too."

Xu Youjia thought about it and realized that he had nothing to do after breakfast, so he relaxed his guard and took the initiative to ask to go out and play.

In this way, several people were thrown into the battle again. When they came to their senses, they found that it was dark again.

Their results today were pretty good, and each of them actually earned seven or eight taels of silver.

As for Xu Youjia, he neither lost nor gained.

But there were several times when he directly drew the ball worth fifty taels of silver.

But later on, I wanted to play again, so I invested the money I earned into it again.

In the end, everyone was playing with a fierce look on their face, just wanting to win money.

Of course, their income is definitely not normal.

Few people can make money from the dealer when playing this game of chance.

This was done intentionally by Qin Ming using Wan Shu's people.

Lotteries like theirs are just entertainment for ordinary people at best.

If you want to really make money, you have to get it from the young masters of these big families.

Just like the young masters of these big families, when they come to play on weekdays, Wan Shu will arrange his subordinates to give them some preferential treatment intentionally or unintentionally.

Play the long game to catch the big fish.

It clearly worked today.

"Let's go, let's go. We need to check the accounts today. How can we waste so much time here?"

As Xu Youjia watched it get dark, he suddenly felt a surge of helplessness and rage.

Another day wasted today, still on this boring game.

This made him feel like a failure.

The feeling of regret made him extremely irritable.

The guards also noticed something was wrong and became nervous.

Although Xu Youjia was already angry.

But before leaving, several guards who were already in the upper position suddenly spoke up:

"Master, we made no profit or loss today, and we played for so long for nothing, and we also wasted a lot of time. Why don't we buy a few more lottery tickets before we leave?"

Speaking of this, Xu Youjia suddenly had an idea.

He bought some lottery tickets yesterday, about seven or eight in total.

I won several hundred taels of silver today. What if I buy some more?

"Go buy some."

He casually threw out twenty taels of silver.

At this moment, Xu Youjia suddenly felt less angry.

No matter who you are, you cannot escape human nature.

Qin Ming’s lottery design captures this point.

So at this time, even Xu Youjia gradually took the bait.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day.

This is the day agreed upon by Qin Ming and Xu Youjia.

If the imperial court does not take any action today, the major merchants and families in the northwest will stop working like the imperial court after they return.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here."

In the morning, Chang Baishan came to the imperial study and reported the situation at the Beijing Chamber of Commerce to Qin Ming.

All the major families and wealthy businessmen in the northwest have gathered together.

Just waiting for Qin Ming to come over and give an explanation.

Qin Ming raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, put on his coat and said:

"Let's go."

In the meeting hall of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Youjia was surrounded by envoys from major wealthy families in the northwest.

They all asked Xu Youjia curiously:

"Master Xu, what exactly did His Majesty mean? Have you found out?"

"I haven't found out either. He's so secretive and I don't know what he's doing, but as far as I know, the imperial construction corps hasn't been dispatched until today."

Xu Youjia's mind has not been on Qin Ming these days.

On the contrary, as for the lottery, he even made a special detour to claim a prize before coming here this morning.

His lottery luck was not very good today, and he only won fifteen taels of silver.

I bought dozens of lottery tickets worth twenty taels yesterday, but ended up losing five taels.

Xu Youjia naturally looked down on the five taels of silver, but the feeling of loss still made him feel disappointed.

Even when he was talking to the messengers around him today, he was a little absent-minded.

On the way here, Xu Youjia was even considering whether to buy the 200 taels one today because he knew about the loss.

As long as you buy enough lottery tickets, you will win some.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Just as everyone was whispering to each other, Qin Ming and Chang Baishan came up to them.

When they saw Qin Ming, everyone rushed over immediately.

"Your Majesty, the three days are up. Shouldn't you give us a reasonable explanation?"

"The imperial construction corps hasn't moved in the past three days, and you still say you're not biased towards them?"

"If they can delay the construction period, why can't we delay the construction period?"

Faced with their various questions, Qin Ming just waved his hand lightly, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Everyone, I haven't allowed the construction corps to delay the work. Recently, they returned to the court only to take the silver and continue on their journey south."

"Where else can you get the money from?"

Everyone scoffed at Qin Ming's statement.

Qin Ming is an emperor. If he still lies to them about such things, it would be too cheap.

Of course Qin Ming wouldn't do that.

He sat aside, trying hard to suppress his smile, looking at everyone with an expression that made his smile even more obvious.

Chang Baishan walked up to him and poured him a glass of water, and Qin Mingqian took a sip.

After whetting everyone's appetite, he finally spoke and answered everyone's questions.

"A lottery has recently appeared in the capital. I wonder if you know anything about it?"

No one speaks.

They did understand something, because the waiting was too boring during these days.

Many wealthy businessmen frequent brothels, and many of these brothels are owned by the Beijing Chamber of Commerce and the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.

Naturally, the sale of lottery tickets can be arranged.

In this way, many wealthy businessmen and envoys from big families have played with it to some extent and found it very novel.

"You... wouldn't you..."

Suddenly, Xu Youjia stood up from the stool.

He looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.

Suddenly I felt like finding a place to hide.

The thing that he was so addicted to was actually created by Qin Ming specifically to make money for the court?

Although he was extremely reluctant to believe it, Qin Ming ruthlessly shattered his hopes the next moment.

"Yes, these lotteries are all issued by the imperial court. They are just a form of entertainment for everyone."

"But we did earn a lot of silver, probably several million taels, which is definitely enough to build the north-south canal."

"Do you have any questions now?"

When Qin Ming stood up and looked around, everyone was shocked beyond words.

They took a few steps back, not knowing what to say for a moment.
