Chapter 435: Sports League
Let Li Rusong plead guilty and surrender to the law, this is definitely the largest litigation case that the litigation court has handled since its establishment.
It will also go down in history.
If Li Rusong only clashed with officials, no matter what the punishment was, it would not be surprising, but the problem is that the other party is just a small businessman who runs a gambling house, and the class difference between the two is too great.
You must know that this ancient society was a hierarchical society, which is very, very difficult.
Naturally, the court would not let go of this opportunity to publicize, and they posted notices everywhere, saying that the verdict of the case was pronounced, and Li Rusong would compensate the owner of the shop 100 taels, and impose a fine of 50 taels, as well as clean up the garbage for 7 days.
The punishment of Weihui Mansion is either forced labor or a fine.
Very capital-specific.
Of course, it is impossible to really let Li Rusong go to dump dung, and the litigation court does not have a grudge against Li Rusong, and wants to put him to death, besides, it is at night to pour dung, and the publicity effect is not as good as during the day.
As soon as this notice was posted, it immediately caused a great sensation in Weihui Mansion.
The result was a surprise to all.
Especially recently, many noble children have come to Weihui Mansion, they were going to Kaifeng Mansion, and they never wanted to pass through Weihui Mansion, so they forgot Kaifeng Mansion, because it is too lively here, full of goods, people from all over the world, and the bonus of Luwang Mansion.
They're very concerned about this.
In fact, this also involves their interests, many of them are privileged people, of course they support Li Rusong, if Li Rusong is subdued, it will also indicate that they are the same, at least they can't do whatever they want here, bump into an old man, they have to hurry up.
As soon as the notice was posted, they immediately surrounded it.
"Isn't it just to injure the owner of a gambling house, how can the sentence be so severe?"
"That's right, Li Rusong is the chief soldier of Weihui Mansion, will the soldiers agree?"
"Don't you know that Li Rusong was arrested from the barracks at that time, and all his subordinates obeyed the court's verdict."
"Really?"
"My brother is in the barracks, how can this be fake?"
"Even so, you can lose some money, I don't believe that Li Rusong will really go to the suburbs to pick up garbage, the chief soldier of the dignified government, and he is from a family of generals, can he afford to lose this person?"
Suddenly, I saw a lot of people walking quickly outside the city.
"Where are they going?"
"We went to the suburbs, and I heard that Li Rusong has already started serving his sentence today."
"It's... Is this true? ”
"Let's take a look, let's take a look."
......
Southern suburbs.
I saw a middle-aged man, shirtless, pushing a small cart with a small shovel and a wooden barrel on it.
He was also accompanied by a few young men in Tsing Yi.
"Master, let the villain do this dirty work."
"Master, you are noble, but you can't do this job!"
.....
These little guys are really crying and shouting, and they want to stop it, but they don't dare, they are timid, and they are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Get out of the way!"
The middle-aged man suddenly picked up the shovel, and was so frightened that several small guys immediately bounced away, only to see the middle-aged man sweeping the ground with the shovel in one hand, and a piece of fell into the bucket.
It's not a loss to practice the family, and the kung fu in your hands is excellent, so you can be so proficient just after you get started.
This middle-aged man is Li Rusong, and the punishment given to him is to clean up the garbage, but there was no garbage in ancient times, and the garbage he got was actually dung, and Li Rusong did the work of a shovel officer.
However, now the court is considering changing this punishment, because now dung can be sold for money, so many people rush to do this work, and they can collect two shares.
And in the distance, there were a vast number of people watching, and it was black and pressing.
All of them were dumbfounded.
A lot of people really can't believe the facts in front of them.
They prefer to believe that it's just a stand-in.
However, more people feel a sense of security, if it is not a noble eunuch, then Li Rusong is the biggest official in Weihui Mansion, he can't escape, so who dares to hurt them easily.
This comes at a cost.
A hundred meters away in front of the left, there was a horse-drawn carriage parked, and a man and two women were standing next to the carriage.
What a harmonious and beautiful combination.
It was Guo Dan, Aunt Xu and Yang Feixu.
Aunt Xu looked at Li Rusong not far away, a trace of worry appeared between her eyebrows, he suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Dan, and said: "Your handling seems to be not only to solve this problem, but everything has two sides, I don't recommend that you get involved in military politics, it will make you have more weaknesses, and they are all fatal." ”
Guo Dan was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile: "The situation thinks that I am doing this in the hope of being able to win over Li Rusong?" ”
Aunt Xu asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”
"Of course not."
Guo Dan shook his head and said: "This military power is meaningless to me, and I have no interest in it at all, but I am very eager for me to have a strong army in the Ming Dynasty, and for this, I can even pay all my family wealth." ”
Aunt Xu was surprised: "Why? ”
Guo Dan suddenly looked at Yang Feixu and said with a smile: "It's like Feixi, I'm also willing to pay a lot of money for Feifu." ”
What does that mean?
Yang Feixu had forgotten his anger, and just looked at Guo Dan in astonishment.
"Don't get me wrong, it's not teasing."
Guo Dan raised his hand and explained: "Making money is not a difficult thing for me, the only thing I need to guarantee is that I have to have my life to spend this money, and the flying flotsam protects my life, in this regard, even if I spend more money, I am also willing, as long as I don't die, my daughter will come back when I am gone."
However, if the country is ruined, if the Ming Dynasty is dead, then no matter how much money I have, I have to give it to others, as long as anyone can really train an elite division for my Ming Dynasty, no matter how much money, I am willing to donate, even if it is an anonymous donation. ”
Capital and the army seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they complement each other, a strong army can provide great convenience to the national capital, the benefits are endless, no matter where my goods are, no one dares to move, and strong capital can make the army stronger.
Guo Dan hopes that Daming can do one thing, that is, to make wars always happen on other people's land, and have the ability to take the initiative to start wars.
There is no way to deal with natural disasters, and natural disasters alone are not enough to be fatal, and we are afraid that natural disasters will add to man-made disasters.
These two things are together, and Guo Dan can't stop it!
But the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty have been corrupted and unsightly, fortunately, there is no strong enemy around, but this has always been a worry in Guo Dan's heart, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, he will naturally not miss it.
"I see."
Aunt Xu nodded lightly and said, "But what you think doesn't matter, because those who attack you don't care what you think in your heart, they will only look at what you are doing." ”
She is optimistic about Guo Dan, precisely because Guo Dan is just a businessman, not an official, and at the same time has the protection of the emperor, this strange relationship makes many people unable to start, but if Guo Dan is involved in military politics, this wealth and the army are combined into one, but it is a big taboo.
Guo smiled lightly: "This money belongs to His Majesty, and it is not mine, I just laid a foundation for this, but what to do is up to Your Majesty to decide." ”
Aunt Xu nodded and said, "But you still have to be cautious in this matter, and you must not be careless." ”
"The admonition of the layman, Guo Dan should take it to heart."
Guo Dan nodded gratefully, and said, "Let's go back, I can finally handle the things I am good at." ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's gambling houses and loan sharks."
......
Although Li Rusong has pleaded guilty to the law, the case is not over, because it involves a gambling house.
With Guo Dan's support, the three courts promulgated the strictest gambling ban in history.
Moreover, it is on this case that it is pointed out that the gambling house will endanger public order.
Anyone who opens a gambling house, gathers a crowd to gamble, or participates in gambling will have all his belongings confiscated in Weihui Mansion and expelled from the country.
This can be understood as allowing you to leave the house.
What about today's gambling houses?
The meaning of the three courts is direct seizure.
However, the person who runs the gambling house today is actually also a businessman.
Therefore, if you directly seal up other people's gambling houses, Guo Dan thinks that this is hurting the interests of businessmen, at least you didn't stipulate it before, and in the future, the court can easily seize other people's shops.
On the eve of the promulgation of this decree, Guo Dan brought all the gambling house merchants and told them that Weihui Mansion was about to ban gambling, and your gambling house would definitely not be able to open, and I would now pay to buy all your gambling houses.
This price is the capital they invested at the beginning, you earned it before, it is yours, and I will give you the capital again.
Of course, the gambling house merchant agreed.
In the end, Guo Dan invested more than 5,000 taels, and on the eve of the promulgation of the gambling ban, he acquired all the gambling houses in Weihui Mansion.
Because once gambling is banned, the value of the gambling house is very low, that is, renting a house and making some gambling equipment, no capital is required at all.
This practice will not make the businessman feel afraid, the court issued a rule, just say that you will open a gambling house in the future, you will be punished, before, not before, because the previous gambling house was acquired by Guo Dan, it was closed by himself, not seized.
However, Guo Dan feels that the problem of gambling houses is not so simple, although gambling is prohibited, but gambling cannot be completely denied, why gambling houses can prevail in a very short period of time, this is not drugs, there must be a reason.
It's simple, boring.
The lack of recreational activities for the people, but the pressure of work nowadays is high, and it is necessary to provide an outlet for the people.
Guo Dan immediately announced that Marseille would invest 10,000 taels to establish a sports league.
This sports league includes Go tournaments, chess tournaments, poker tournaments.
The emergence of poker is also a reason for the rapid spread of gambling houses, and this poker was brought by him, and it is now very popular in Weihui Mansion.
Although he forbade gambling, he also introduced the activities that the people liked to be on the right path.
There are also two major ball games, polo and kemari.
The Ming Dynasty Song and Ming Dynasty science prevailed, this sports activity became a small skill of carving insects, is the river is declining, and the people are not very keen on these sports activities.
But as a capitalist society, entertainment activities are inevitable, when Guo Dan went to university, the professors specifically mentioned this, the emergence of capital will inevitably be accompanied by large-scale entertainment activities.
Because there will definitely be a demand for this.
Of course, Guo Dan has improved polo and juju, and all introduced the rules of later generations, what the people need is venting, what they need is stimulation, and what they need is blood.
