There is a way of blessing and misfortune, but for today's Ming Dynasty, this happy event is always one after another.

First of all, it is the 40th anniversary of the emperor's reign, and the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty is the end of the year.

The fifth day of November is the National Day of the Ming Dynasty, and the fourth day of the first month is the National Day of the Ming Dynasty.

The cabinet is also magnanimous, so let's just do it together.

"Money is not saved, and there is no need to save what should be spent."

Xu Buji's effort to sign it, and the budget of hundreds of millions of dollars was spent.

The only thing missing is some large-scale activities, but the new Ying Tianfu Yin has created new activities with ingenuity.

Organize adult men from all over the city to come for a long-distance run around the city.

"Take the original city site as a ring, circle a circle, a total of 10,000 and 800 zhang, the first to complete the champion, the reward of 1 million, the second and third prizes respectively 500,000 and 300,000 how about."

The proposal was quickly approved by the new General Directorate of Sports.

This yamen was established by Zhu Yunwen after participating in the bicycle competition and promised to the common people, and was specifically responsible for coordinating and organizing various sports events.

Don't look at the fact that it has only been two or three years, and all kinds of sports events have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

From football, horse racing, archery, and wrestling, to a large number of new events.

And today, the first marathon was born.

This competition has been warmly responded to by the people of Nanjing, and the applicants have come like a cloud, and finally the carefully selected sieve has retained more than 40,000 people, and one game is not finished at all.

"Then it's done in three times, and the shortest time is the championship."

In such an unprecedented national competition, even Zhu Yunwen couldn't sit still, and appeared on the only surviving old city wall of Hongwumen to cheer for the people.

The emperor's presence made the people who participated in the competition more high-spirited, the first batch of participants were not ready, and the second and third batches of people ran home one after another, and when they came back, everyone held a portrait of Zhu Yunwen in both hands.

"Hello Father, Father."

When this slogan was shouted and everyone responded, Zhu Yunwen, who was standing on the city tower, suddenly wet his eyes.

Raising his right hand, Zhu Yunwen pinched his sour nose a few times, but found that he still couldn't stop.

At the moment, he didn't care that this was in front of tens of thousands of people, raised his arm to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, and turned around and walked to a drum on the city tower.

"Give me the hammer."

Zhu Yunwen drove away the drummer, rolled up his sleeves, picked up two hammers, and beat them himself.

"I will personally cheer for the people."

The rousing drum beat sounded, and the people running under the city tower became even more excited.

No one would have imagined that the Emperor would personally cheer on their game.

"Emperor, take a break."

Shuangxi was anxious waiting with a towel next to him: "This is a cold winter, your sweat, don't look back and get cold." ”

didn't pay attention to him, Zhu Yunwen knocked his head in a sullen manner, without the slightest intention of taking a breath.

It lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and his arms were really sore, and it was difficult to continue, before Zhu Yunwen put down the hammer and panted.

Shuangxi hurriedly handed the towel to Zhu Yunwen, and took the big coat and put it on Zhu Yunwen.

"It's enjoyable, it's enjoyable."

Walking to the soft chair on the side and sitting down, Zhu Yunwen picked up a cup of hot tea and took a big sip: "Ha, I haven't sweated like this for a long time, happy and transparent." ”

Once this person is old, no matter how busy he is, he has to find an opportunity to exercise himself.

After a few hours, the three rounds were quickly over, and the top three positions were announced.

The first place took only seven quarters of an hour and six minutes, that is, one hour and fifty-one minutes, which made Zhu Yunwen very satisfied.

"It's an athlete in the army, I'm afraid it's just this level."

Several generals accompanying the army stood aside and nodded thoughtfully, although it was said that there may be better sons and daughters in the army, but on average, it is equivalent to the quality of these top three.

It's a pity that Zhu Yunwen can't remember the world record of the marathon in later generations, of course, there is no need to remember it.

Because the marathon distance that Daming runs today is not the same as the marathon distance of sports events in later generations.

"In the future, this 10,000 and 800 zhang will be the standard fixed distance for this event."

If Zhu Yunwen wanted to do it, the International Olympic Organization could be established now, but there was no need for it.

With Minglian, how can there be the word international in the future?

The United Nations could not have appeared.

"Invite them to come up, and I will personally present awards to our athletes."

Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, how could the officials of the General Administration of Sports who accompanied him to watch have any opinions, and the dignified second-class ministers all started to run errands, so they planned to run downstairs to invite the three of them up, but they were stopped by Zhu Yunwen again.

"Forget it, they just finished running a long distance, and when they are exhausted, I will go down and give them awards."

After speaking, regardless of everyone's opposition, he really walked down the city tower, and a large group of people followed closely behind him.

Downstairs in the city, the three people were all very excited, although they had just run down and were out of breath, but at this moment they all quickly retracted their violently undulating chests, and when they saw you, they bowed and shouted long live, and even Zhu Yunwen couldn't shout.

"Get up, get up."

Zhu Yunwen personally stepped forward to help the three of them, and then looked at the people who were kneeling dozens of feet away behind the three people, and shouted several times.

"It's cold on the ground, get up."

After everyone got up from the ground, Zhu Yunwen smiled and spoke.

"Today you showed me your heroic posture, I watched the scenery from the city tower, all of your vigorous posture and fast and swift steps, I hope you can make persistent efforts, let's strive to break today's record for him."

Echoes came and went, and tens of thousands of people applauded.

"Okay, then I have made a gentleman's agreement with you."

Zhu Yunwen laughed: "I don't say much else, our top three athletes are still waiting to receive money for the New Year." ”

Downstairs, everyone laughed.

waved to his side, and several officials from the General Administration of Sports hurriedly came over, each holding a brocade plate in their hands.

On the platter lay a medal and a ticket pressed underneath.

Gold, silver, bronze and the more valuable ones below, one million, five hundred thousand, three hundred thousand.

But at this moment, no one cares about this huge amount of wealth.

Everyone's eyes were burning on the three medals.

These three medals may be far less than cash wealth in terms of economic value, but their meaning is completely different.

Because these three medals were personally worn by Zhu Yunwen for the top three.

This kind of award is almost equivalent to the National Day award.

"Keep up the good work."

Every time he wears a medal, Zhu Yunwen will kindly pat the person's shoulder as a sign of encouragement. And the three people who received such encouragement were all excited and tearful, and they were so choked that they couldn't even say the words of thanks.

After the award was over, Zhu Yunwen didn't stay longer, boarded the wheel, turned around and waved his hand.

"I don't stay long, I wish you a happy new year, go home for the New Year, and finally, I also wish you good health and good health."

If the king regards the people as sons, then the people will respect the king as their father.

In the 20 years since he ascended the throne, Zhu Yunwen has never forgotten his original intention and ruling mission when he ascended the throne.

(I thought I could write six mores, but I found that I had finished writing this chapter, and the number of words was 12,000 enough for six chapters, but since I said six more, there are still two more left, and I will continue to see four more tomorrow.) ）
