Chapter 247 A dozen sticks, a date [please subscribe]
It has been three days since the lottery incident, and there is no need to ask about the result.
Wang Wan once again made everyone's eyes shocked with a perfect victory.
In these three days, the lottery business has developed to the inner history and geography except the capital of Xianyang.
As for other counties and counties in Daqin, I believe that lottery sales points will be set up in no time.
In response to this, the Prime Minister's Office and the Propaganda Department also set up a lottery center to regulate the process of lottery sales, lottery draws, and redemption.
In the future, the lottery will no longer be drawn on-site, but will be drawn by publishing newspapers. Each issue of the newspaper has a winning number.
At the same time, Zhao Hao also released new lottery gameplays from later generations, such as Arrangement Five and Quick Three.
The winning numbers in each region are different.
There is no need to communicate in every region.
If the progress goes well, the lottery business will be enough to enrich the Daqin Treasury once or twice.
At this time, Zhao Hao had just walked out of the lottery center and saw the Sui Mansion of Shaofu coming towards him.
"I'd like to ask for a meeting rashly, please forgive me."
Su Tian bowed respectfully.
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and replied, "How did Young Master Su know that I am here?"
"Shame."
Su Tian bowed again: "It's important, and the old minister dared not neglect. He went to the Prime Minister's Mansion earlier and heard that the young master was in the newly established lottery center, so he followed him."
"It's important?"
Zhao Hao asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
“It’s printing.”
Su Tian said with shame: "The young master needed a lot of lottery tickets before, so we set up a new printing factory. The old minister immediately dispatched craftsmen to cooperate with the young master to print the lottery."
"Yes, I'm going to thank you for this."
"Why."
Su Tian sighed, then took out a piece of lottery paper from his body and handed it to Zhao Hao: "This is our latest lottery, please check it out."
Zhao Hao frowned, took the lottery ticket, and after watching it carefully, he couldn't help but sag.
Because the pattern of this lottery ticket is very chaotic, some places have heavy ink, while others cannot see clearly.
What's more important is that the entire lottery has a lot of ink marks, making this lottery look fake.
If this is the latest printed lottery, Zhao Hao certainly cannot accept it and is not allowed to sell it.
It can be seen that Su Tian couldn't accept it either, and said with great remorse:
"We used up the ink buckets sent by the young master before, so we wanted to prepare the ink buckets and print the lottery. We didn't expect the lottery to be like this, and we don't know where the problem lies!"
"It's clear that the colors are matched, but it's still the same."
"Um."
Zhao Hao nodded, able to understand Su Tian’s helplessness.
Because the moment he saw this lottery, he discovered the key to the problem.
"Don't worry, Su Shaofu, I didn't think about it carefully. I made this ink bucket for printing lottery. You don't know the recipe, so you can't make it out."
Zhao Hao smiled and comforted.
Su Tian let out a sigh of relief and quickly bowed: "I would like to ask my son for advice."
"no problem."
Zhao Hao responded briefly and explained: "Before telling you the recipe, I will explain the principle to you first!"
"good."
The chicken nodded like a rice-pecking chicken.
For craftsmen like him, knowing the formula is important, but knowing the principles can learn from one example and create something new.
Therefore, in the face of Zhao Hao's patient explanation, he listened very seriously.
But Zhao Hao said, "When we write with a brush, the ink should be water-oriented."
"This kind of water-based ink is easy to spread, but it is because we control the pen tip when writing, so that the ink is more concentrated, which leaves notes."
"I see."
Su Tian nodded suddenly and listened quietly.
"The printing lottery uses stencil printing, and the stencil is flat burning. This water property cannot be controlled, so it is easy to spread."
Zhao Hao said, took out another lottery ticket from his arms and handed it to Su Tian:
"Look at this lottery, how is it different from the lottery you brought?"
"this"
Su Tian stared at him for a moment, suddenly noticed something, and said in surprise: "There is light! The original lottery surface is bright!"
"Yes, this is the effect of oily ink!"
“Oil-based ink?”
Zhao Hao nodded with a smile and continued: "Water-based ink is the ink used for writing. You will definitely not succeed in printing lottery tickets with the ink you wrote, so you have to use oil-based ink!"
“How is it different?”
"Oil-based inks have the characteristics of 'oil' and are not easy to spread."
“The characteristics of oil?”
Su Tian pondered: "Young Master means that the ink bucket you sent is an oily ink?"
“That’s true.”
Zhao Hao nodded in agreement.
Su Tian was happy and asked Zhao Hao quickly: "Why would you like to ask the young master, how to make this oily ink?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. It's just mixing tung oil, lead powder, and ink into one to two to three to get oily ink."
"Young master is a talented man!"
Su Tian knew the principle and got the formula. He was in a very comfortable mood and hurriedly saluted Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hand, instructed: "The future lottery printing must be guaranteed to be supplied, so don't lose the chain!"
"Don't worry, my elder brother, I will never let my elder brother down!"
Su Tian answered solemnly, then said goodbye to Zhao Hao, and left the lottery center without stopping.
Zhao Hao watched him leave and was about to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss the lottery sales station with Wang Wan.
At this time, Ying Su rode his horse to come.
"Young Master, Your Majesty summons you to the palace."
Not long after, Zhao Hao came to Ying Zheng's study.
"You boy has helped the old prime minister this time!"
As soon as he saw Zhao Hao, Ying Zheng couldn't help but tease him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao scratched his head and replied in a cute way:
"Didn't the old prime minister help his father solve the problem? I'm equivalent to helping his father!"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled unanimously, and then said:
"This time the lottery incident gave them a wake-up call, which was considered to be a first battle for the implementation of "spending a dime to earn a sum of money". The next obstacle should not be too great!"
"but."
As he said that, he changed his mind and continued, "We can't just give you a blow and don't give sweet dates. Do you have any other ideas?"
Zhao Hao pondered: "Father, in fact, in addition to dividing acres, the son minister also has a national policy, which is also very good!"
"What national policy?"
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately put down the teacup and listened carefully.
Zhao Hao said: "Back to my father, this national policy is that officials and gentry should work together to pay food!"
"Um?"
"The so-called officials and gentry are working together to pay grain, which means that officials and landlords must also pay taxes."
