Chapter 27 This method of making money was unprecedented, and the Chanyu was stunned!

One day in late February, five or six seemingly ordinary carriages slowly drove along the official road outside Kyoto.

While waiting in line at the city gate to enter the city, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man who looked different from Qingren appeared and looked at the city wall in front of him.

He found that the cities he passed by along the way could not compare with Kyoto. This might be because this was the capital of Qing Kingdom and carried many heavy memories about the royal family.

Of course, it could also be that he was just overthinking it.

After all, he is about to meet Emperor Qing, who has been confronting him for many years, but the two sides have never had any contact.

If he said that he had no thoughts in his mind, I'm afraid he himself wouldn't believe it.

In just a few months, the Golden Horde was still able to rely on the grassland to continuously invade the border of Qing Kingdom.

But now those tribal leaders have been frightened by the mysterious pottery jars and are also coveting the high-priced wool.

Even as the Chanyu of Western Hu, he had to admit that from the moment he was tied up, the Eagle of the Prairie no longer existed and Western Hu was doomed to perish!

But he did not think that his failure had anything to do with the Fourth Prince of Qing and Emperor Qing. He firmly believed that he was defeated by the fear and greed of those tribal leaders!

Even without the mysterious pottery jars and high-priced wool, the short-sightedness and ignorance of the tribal leaders would sooner or later destroy the royal tent!
As for the Fourth Prince of Qing State...Xihu Chanyu felt that the wool trade was not something he could propose at all.

How could a prince who grew up in the deep palace and has no business experience come up with such a strategy?
It's unlikely no matter how you think about it!
"Emperor Qing is extremely incompetent. In order to promote his favorite son, he dares to attribute all the credit to him."

Xihu Chanyu couldn't help but sigh. Facing such a Qing Kingdom, he felt that he had every chance to rule the Central Plains!

Of course, even though Emperor Qing is old, he is still a majestic lion.

As long as he waits for Emperor Qing to die and waits for the Fourth Prince, the most favored prince, to succeed to the throne, wouldn't the chances be great?

But those stupid tribal leaders never gave him this chance!
"Pity!"

Xihu Chanyu sighed helplessly and lowered the curtain.

The convoy was verified and continued to move forward.

But not long after entering the city, they heard a commotion outside the carriage.

At the same time, the convoy also stopped.

Xihu Chanyu lifted the curtain again and saw an extremely spectacular scene.

At this moment, the whole street was full of people.

But they were not crowding in disorder, but formed a very long line that blocked the official road!
"Is there a festival in Qing Country today?"

Xihu Chanyu frowned and thought secretly.

The customs of Qing Kingdom and Xihu are completely different, but they are very similar in some aspects.

For example, large-scale celebrations are held on some important festivals.

According to Xihu Chanyu's memory, he felt that these Qing people must be doing some activities that he couldn't understand.

There was no way this kind of activity could be stopped anytime soon, so it seemed they had to change their route.

But at this moment, a thunderous cheer suddenly broke out from the end of the team.

"Ah! All right! I got it! I got it!"

These words caused Xihu Chanyu's brain to freeze instantly.

bingo?

What happened to you?!

He had only heard that there were imperial examinations in the Central Plains, and once candidates passed the examinations, they would be extremely excited, and many even went crazy. Moreover, the Spring Examination happened to be in February, so could it be that today was the day when the results were announced?

If that's the case, no wonder the other party is so happy!
But he actually still had a question. Although the official road was crowded with people, many shops could still be vaguely seen on both sides. Was the imperial examination results announced in such a place?

The Western Hu Chanyu did not understand this.

And then, another exclamation was heard, "I won too! I'm rich! I'm rich now!"

Get rich?

If he remembered correctly, the imperial examination in the Central Plains was linked to official career, right?
If you pass the imperial examination, you should be happy because you can become an official, right?
How does this have to do with getting rich?

"I only spent two copper coins and won a full ounce of silver. Wow, what luck!"

"I didn't do anything all day, but I spent two cents to buy a lottery ticket and got one tael of silver. Who would dare to believe this kind of business?"

"The winners have made money, but for the store owner, isn't this purely a losing business? Only our Fourth Prince would dare to do this!"

Xihu Chanyu listened to the discussions around him and immediately noticed a name that was very familiar to him.

"Fourth Prince? A money-losing business?"

He really couldn't understand what these people were talking about.

But since this matter is related to the Fourth Prince of Qing Kingdom, even if he does not think that the other party has any real evidence, he must find someone to ask clearly.

Xihu Chanyu randomly called out to the person closest to him, "That person! That person!"

Someone in the team immediately turned around and looked at the carriage.

"What business are you talking about just now?" Xihu Chanyu asked loudly.

The Qing man who turned around immediately laughed and said, "From your appearance, you look like a foreigner who came to Kyoto to do wool business, right?"

Xihu Chanyu did not deny this, and in a sense, this was indeed the case.

But the ones who really wanted to do wool business with the Qing people were actually the left and right wise kings in the other two carriages.

"You haven't even started the wool business yet, but you're already starting the lottery business?" The man laughed sarcastically.

Xihu Chanyu was very patient and continued to ask, "I'm just curious and want to know the situation."

The man did not hide anything, "It's okay to tell you, you barbarians will never be able to do it!"

As he spoke, he showed Xihu Chanyu a long piece of paper in his hand, "Do you see this thing? The Fourth Prince calls it a "lottery ticket."

"Everyone can spend two copper coins to buy a lottery ticket every day, and then they don't have to do anything. The next day, His Highness will have someone announce the winning numbers."

"As long as the number matches the published one, you can exchange it for one tael of silver immediately!"

Two copper coins for one tael of silver?
This is simply a huge profit!
Generally speaking, one tael of silver can usually be exchanged for more than one thousand copper coins!
Even if we calculate it based on one thousand copper coins, it is equivalent to multiplying the capital five hundred times!
And this only took one night!

He had never seen such a way of making money!

How did the Fourth Prince of Qing achieve this?

Xihu Chanyu is not a businessman, it is incomprehensible!
But he knew that there was probably no one else in the world who could make money at this speed!

The Fourth Prince of Qing Kingdom is so powerful!
"Wait, it seems like the people who buy lottery tickets are the ones making money, while the merchants who sell lottery tickets are losing money!"

Xihu Chanyu suddenly realized that something was wrong.

His thoughts just now were completely opposite to the facts. The Fourth Prince of Qing Kingdom was not making any money at all, but was losing money at an alarming rate!
How rich is the Qing Dynasty's imperial court? How could it support their Fourth Prince to mess around like this?
Also, what is the purpose of doing this? To give money to the people and win their hearts? !

Xihu Chanyu couldn't understand it, but he was greatly shocked!
