"Come on!"

"Come on!"

Although the temperature in Chang'an City is getting lower and lower, the football field at the entrance of Guanshishan Academy is getting more and more enthusiastic.

In the past month, the soccer stadium has been enclosed into a large open-air soccer stadium after emergency construction by Nanshan Construction Engineering.

With the addition of the stepped stands, the number of spectators that can accommodate is immediately a step higher.

In this way, the atmosphere of the competition is even stronger.

Of course, it came with the fact that watching the game went from being free to being charged.

Fortunately, tickets for one to ten cents are not expensive.

Especially for the penny tickets that are not so high, you can use these tickets directly, and after adding a penny, you can exchange them for two "lucky papers", which is equivalent to a 5% discount.

"Lord Wang, today is a friendly match between the academy football team and the Guozijian football team, and it will officially start in a quarter of an hour."

In the VIP stands, Xu Jingzong accompanied Li Kuan and was already in place.

Since the advent of this football, it has replaced the original Keju at a very fast speed, and has spread throughout Chang'an City.

Guozijian, as a college on a par with Guanshishan Academy, naturally set up its own football team.

Moreover, because many of the students in the Guozi Prison are the children of the nobles, their physical fitness is actually not bad at all, and they are even better than the students of Guanshishan Academy.

Therefore, this "friendly match" has attracted the attention of many people.

After all, when it comes to a friendly match, what is the friendship between Guanshishan Academy and Guozijian?

"It seems that the people of Chang'an City are very enthusiastic about this football game."

Li Kuan looked around and found that the football stadium, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, was basically full.

The cold wind can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for watching the game.

The Tang people are more bloody, and sports such as football and polo are actually very popular.

Now next to the workshop city, Li Kuan specially arranged personnel to build a larger football field and polo field, and prepared to start a football league and polo league in Chang'an City next year.

Let "enhance sports and improve people's physical fitness" from a slogan to a reality.

"Lord Wang, the charm of this football is too great, now not only each academy has its own football team, but many primary schools in Chang'an City also have their own football teams. Even the workshops in our palace have set up business football teams, and I heard that in these military camps such as Zuo Wuwei, the popularity of football is even higher. ”

Xu Jingzong has been very interested in the promotion of football recently.

It not only set up a formal football team of Guanshishan Academy and the teams of various colleges, but also specially trained a group of referees, and organized these referees to go to various football teams to provide free referee services.

In order to make this sport quickly popular.

What is the point of doing this, it is not Xu Jingzong's concern.

He only knew that after doing this, Li Kuan would be very satisfied, and that was enough.

"Well, the promotion of this football sport is actually very meaningful, it works well, and it can even create a new industry for Datang and make it profitable."

The output value of the sports industry will not be low in later generations.

Of course, Li Kuan's promotion of football is not aimed at making money.

It's because during this time he studied the latest tasks of the system and found that there are a series of subtasks to choose from.

The completion of these subtasks, although the reward is not expected to be particularly large, is very beneficial for the increase of points.

And, along with the completion of these small tasks, the exchange page of the system will add some items related to this task.

For example, after Li Kuan made this football, the system added some sportswear and shoes to exchange a few days ago.

Although these things will be very abrupt if they appear in Datang, Li Kuan will not exchange them casually, but there are more things that can be exchanged, which is a good thing after all.

Therefore, Li Kuan's enthusiasm for various small tasks is much higher now.

Promoting football and polo, expanding the number of medical centers, and improving the level of clothing, food, housing and transportation can all increase points.

It is a pity that Li Kuan has not yet figured out what logic the increase in these points is calculated.

"Lord Wang, since the last time I started to advertise around the stadium, there have been many more businesses to negotiate advertising recently. Although the amount of these advertisements is not very large at the moment, as the influence of football matches increases, the number of advertisements increases, and the associated expenses will definitely increase, and it is possible to achieve profitability. ”

Xu Jingzong followed Li Kuan's statement and expressed his attitude.

"Advertising is one thing, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to arrange special craftsmen to make the clothing and shoes of these players, to see how to better facilitate everyone to play. At that time, this will also be a new industry. ”

Sports brand giants like Adidas and Nike are estimated to be unable to appear for a while.

But it's not impossible to support a few clothing brands to take the sports route.

It's just that Li Kuan is still a little worried about the acceptance of the people of the Tang Dynasty, will he think that those short coats and shorts are immoral?

"The subordinates understand. In fact, for the production of football alone, several new workshops have recently emerged in Chang'an City. Although the whale skin football made by our palace is the best, the price is relatively expensive, and now some people have made sheepskin footballs, but they are selling very well. ”

After following Li Kuan for so many years, Xu Jingzong also slowly understood some of Li Kuan's ideas.

Many times, what he cares about is not necessarily how much money Chu Wangfu earns, but how many people in Datang have earned.

Just when Li Kuan and Xu Jingzong were talking, on the VIP seat in the other direction, Kong Yingda was also communicating with Sima Caizhang and others.

"Raising the son of the country is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five royals, five is six books, and six is nine numbers. Although this football is different from shooting, it is also a physical fitness thing. ”

Confucianism during the Zhenguan period is not like the Ming and Song dynasties.

Even in the Guozijian, the students have to learn to shoot and ride horses, so as not to educate useless scholars.

Therefore, although Kong Yingda is not very interested in the football made by Li Kuan, he also supports the promotion of football within the Guozijian.

"Kong Saijiu, I watched the latest issue of "Datang Daily", there is already a small section in it that has begun to introduce some news about football and polo, and I think our "Yafeng" can also consider doing this."

Sima Caizhang has been busy with the sales of "Yafeng" during this time, and he can be regarded as slowly realizing a truth.

If you want to sell well, you need something that people want to see.

"No, although this football is more popular, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance after all, writing these things has lowered the style of "Yafeng" out of thin air."

Sima Caizhang: ......

"Beep!"

A whistle on the pitch turned everyone's attention to the game.

Seeing that the hour had come, the referee blew the whistle.

This year, there has been no opening ceremony, and the referee directly announced the start.

……

Zhao Xiaoer is an orphan in the Relief Workshop, and as one of the first batch of newsboys hired by Datang Daily, he has lived a very fulfilling life during this time.

In the past, although he only needed to help clean up every day and had nothing to do, Zhao Xiaoer didn't feel the happiness of life at all.

Since I started selling newspapers, I have been going out early and returning late every day.

Although the money he earns every day is only a dozen cents, he feels infinite hope.

By selling newspapers, he also slowly learned some words and learned a lot of news inside and outside Chang'an City.

Unlike other readers who like "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhao Xiaoer's favorite is football.

All the reports about football matches in "Datang Daily", Zhao Xiaoer will find someone to help read them.

Then he himself will try to read the words involved in these reports.

In the past, Zhao Xiaoer always felt that reading was a difficult thing, but when he really had the opportunity to get in touch with books and words, he found that these square things didn't seem to be so difficult.

In just two months, he has learned more than 500 words.

Moreover, he also used the money he earned during this time to buy the first book in his life.

A "Tang Dictionary" edited by Shangguan Yi and others.

"Little Er, let's go buy a penny lucky paper after watching the game in a while. With a ticket to a soccer match, you can buy two lucky sheets for a penny. ”

Zhao Xiaoer and Xu Qiao, who was also from the Relief Workshop, were crowded in the back row of the football field, talking while staring at the game in the field.

"A penny is also money, Xu Qiao, why don't you go, it's better to watch another football game if you have this money."

For Zhao Xiaoer, one penny means selling ten newspapers.

If it weren't for the fact that he really likes football, he wouldn't have spent a penny to watch today's game.

As for spending a penny to buy two lucky papers later, he is even more reluctant.

"Don't you know? There was a beggar who spent a penny to buy lucky paper, and he ended up winning 100 yuan. How many newspapers do we have to sell to make a hundred dollars? ”

Xu Qiao is not quite the same as Zhao Xiaoer.

Every time he sells newspapers, he basically uses the money he earns to buy lucky papers.

and Zhao Xiaoer are completely two extremes.

"There is nothing so good in this world. If everyone can win a hundred times for a penny, how can this lucky paper be sold? ”

Zhao Xiaoer was still reluctant to pay that penny.

"In this way, if the football team of Guanshishan Academy you like scores a goal in a while, let's go buy lucky paper today, okay? This means that you are lucky today. ”

Xu Qiao and Zhao Xiaoer have the best relationship, when they were in the sick shop before, the two of them were together almost all day long.

Moreover, the fun of buying lucky paper is more about the feeling of several people buying together and then scratching it to check the winning situation.

That's why he's just doing it again and again today

instigated Zhao Xiaoer to go with him.

"That'...... All right. ”

As soon as Zhao Xiaoer's words landed, a burst of cheers sounded on the field, and it turned out that a player from Guanshishan Academy had successfully scored a goal.

"Little Er, look! You see! I'll just say that you are very lucky today, and as soon as you finished saying this, Guanshishan Academy scored a goal. ”

Xu Qiao shouted and jumped up and down there.

"Did you really score? That's great! I knew that Guanshishan Academy would definitely win. ”

In Zhao Xiaoer's eyes, "Datang Daily" changed his life, so he is full of gratitude to Li Kuan for launching this newspaper.

Naturally, supporting the football team of Guanshishan Academy is a matter of course.

……

In the first row of the football field, Peng Zhijun sat quietly, unaffected by the atmosphere in the stadium.

Since the advent of the lucky paper, the business in his yard has been declining rapidly.

Yang Yuanchang, the king of Han, has changed his attitude towards him recently, and his support is obviously not as strong as before.

Fortunately, Peng Zhiyun's brain is really flexible enough, and he soon discovered new business opportunities.

Today, he is here to confirm the possibility of such a business opportunity.

"Lang Jun, the influence of this football game is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are interested in football. If we develop a special odds based on the situation of each football match, then it will definitely attract the attention of many people. ”

Lao Ren sat next to Peng Zhiyun and told his suggestions.

"It's supposed to be very appealing, I don't doubt that. But how to make odds, this is a bit of a problem. If the odds are high, we will lose money at that time, and if the odds are low, no one will buy them. ”

"This requires specialized personnel to analyze the strength of each football team to formulate."

"Well, let's simulate it ourselves first, and then we'll see how we roll it out."

Peng Zhiyun is worthy of being a natural expert in the wrong way, whether it is the original tooth shop, or the hype carriage in the back, or what he is preparing to make now.

After all, this thing may be more attractive than lucky paper, which can effectively connect with everyone's interest in football, and also test everyone's judgment of the strength of the football team.

If it works well, maybe the largest gaming giant in Datang was born.

Of course, Li Kuan will definitely not allow Peng Zhijun to control the football game of Datang.

If he honestly doesn't cross the line, Li Kuan doesn't mind him taking a ride to make some money.

After all, it is better to block than to be sparse, and blindly prohibiting it may not have a very good effect, but it is better to put these things on the bright side, so that the people of Datang can buy what Peng Zhiyun and they launched openly.

"Okay, then I'll personally keep an eye on the last few games, and also arrange for people to go to each academy to inquire about the strength of their respective football teams, and it is best to be able to understand the situation of each player. I now find that it is the same football team, and the strength of the players on the pitch is very different. ”

Lao Ren's vision is also very poisonous.

Although he has not yet been able to systematically summarize a set of theories, he has already touched the threshold of the sports betting industry.

In time, it is really possible for him to make a name for himself.

Of course, these are all based on the premise that Datang can continue to prosper.

Otherwise, who would be interested in following a football game in troubled times?

……

In front of a honeycomb coal shop, Zhao Xiaoer pinched a copper coin in his hand a little tangled.

"Xiao Er, if you are really reluctant, then I will pay for you."

Xu Qiao saw that Zhao Xiaoer had been hesitating at the door and refused to go inside, so he couldn't help but say a word angrily.

"No, no. Today, Guanshishan Academy defeated the Guozijian football team 4-1, and we said that we would come and buy it. ”

Zhao Xiaoer naturally can't do anything like spending other people's money to buy lucky paper.

"Shopkeeper, two pieces of lucky paper."

After listening to Zhao Xiaoer's words, Xu Qiao stopped talking nonsense, took his hand and entered the shop.

"I ...... I'll have two too! ”

Zhao Xiaoer handed the ticket for the football match and a penny to the shopkeeper at the same time, and then looked at the two pieces of paper back in his hand with a little heartache.

"Thank you for your patronage! It's like this every time, and this lucky paper won't all become thank you for your patronage. ”

Xu Qiao couldn't wait to scratch his card, but it turned out that he was not "lucky" at all.

"Is it okay to scratch it off here?"

The first time Zhao Xiaoer bought lucky paper, he was still a little unaccustomed.

"You wait, I'll teach you after I scratch this one." Xu Qiao said as he blew his fingers with his mouth, as if he could change his luck in this way.

"Hey! Thank you again for your patronage. Forget it, let's see if your luck as a newbie is different. ”

Xu Qiao sighed and picked up the lucky paper in Zhao Xiao's second-hand.

However, he just picked it up and put it back in Zhao Xiao's second-hand hand, "This thing, you still have to scrape it yourself, you have to feel it best, look here, you can know the result by gently scraping it with your fingernails." ”

"Is it that simple?"

Zhao Xiaoer did the same, but after scraping for a while, he didn't move.

"What's wrong? It's okay, thank you for your patronage, it's normal, don't you still have one? If you continue to scratch it off, you may win the lottery. ”

Xu Qiao thought that Zhao Xiaoer was heartbroken because he had wasted a penny.

"No, Xu Qiao, you...... Look at me, ...... Did you win the lottery? ”

Zhao Xiaoer was a little confused and handed the lucky paper in his hand to Xu Qiao.

"I'll take a look, a ...... One ......"

Xu Qiao just took it, and after glancing at it, he immediately covered his mouth.

I saw him quickly glance around, and saw that Jin Wuwei was patrolling the streets outside, and there was nothing unusual in the honeycomb coal shop, so he nervously pulled Zhao Xiaoer to the side.

"First Prize! Little two, you have won the first prize! You...... Your luck is so rebellious, until now, I haven't heard of anyone who won the first prize. ”

"First prize?"

"That's right, it's the first prize, a thousand yuan! Little Er, you've made a fortune! ”

Xu Qiao looked at Zhao Xiaoer with a little envy, but he was more happy in his heart.

Zhao Xiaoer is his only friend, and he is also excited when he wins the first prize.

Whether it's a lottery or playing mahjong, the luck of novices is too elusive.
