Chapter 464: A New Place for the People of Chang'an City
Peng Zhijun has been having a happier time lately.
As the shopkeeper of the largest gambling house in Chang'an City, Peng Zhiyun has not made less money in the past two years.
The money that was lost in the carriage has long since been earned.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, this is the gambling house's income last month, and I also brought the account book."
Peng Zhiyun hugged the thigh of Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, by chance, and then entered the gambling industry, achieving a major turning point in his life.
Although Lao Ren's scalper business can also bring a lot of money every day, it is still far from the gambling house.
That is, in the past, there were many guys in the Yaxing who needed to be fed, so Lao Ren took the staff to be stationed at the gate of the Opera House of Guanshishan Academy for a long time.
"I won't read the account book, I can rest assured that you are doing things, Shopkeeper Peng."
Li Yuanchang took a deposit receipt from the Tang Dynasty Royal Bank from Peng Zhiyun's hand, glanced at the numbers on it, and was overjoyed.
"So much? Not miscalculated, right? Lao Peng, I, Li Yuanchang, am also particular about doing things, and I said that as long as you make 40% of the profits, you will only receive 40%, and you don't have to worry that I will swallow your money. ”
Li Yuanchang thought that Peng Zhiyun was deliberately giving himself more money.
After all, he is a businessman, and it is normal for him to have scruples in the face of himself, the king of Han.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is fair and just, and the grass people have long seen it. This income, one silver coin is not much, and one silver coin is a lot, all of which you deserve from the prince. As for the increase in the number from the previous month, the main reason is that there are more and more customers coming to the casino.
In the past two years, those Tianshenu in Chang'an City have also become rich, and many people who work in various workshops also have some savings in their pockets. This person has a lot of money in his hands, and he will always think of ways to have some entertainment, so the business of our gambling house is becoming more and more prosperous. ”
Peng Zhiyun explained with a smile on his face.
"If you say so, wouldn't next month's earnings be even more?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, it's not the grass people who boast, when it comes to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I, Peng Zhiyun, am definitely not good, but how to let more people enter our gambling house, how to let them spend more money with us, there are not many people in Chang'an City who are better than me."
"Okay, shopkeeper Peng, it's good if you have this confidence, this king will wait and see!"
There is a large open space in front of the Guanshishan Academy, and in addition to some tourists, it is rare to see a crowd of people.
Today, however, is very different.
Not long after the sun rose, students from various academies came here one after another.
"Brother Li, today you are representing Gewu Academy, I am counting the academy football team, but I will not show mercy."
Liu Yuan looked at Li Yan, who walked into the court with him, and said with a smile.
The construction of this football stadium is not as elaborate as that of later generations.
After Xu Jingzong finished talking about the rules of football, each college immediately had its own football field.
And this piece in front of the door is the stadium of the academy.
Except for some lines drawn with lime and goals placed at both ends of the course, there were basically no other facilities.
However, after the practice of the various colleges in recent days, many people have become obsessed with this new style of football.
Even if some people don't like football in the first place, they will pretend to know a lot in order to avoid making themselves appear so independent.
For example, today's competition between the Academy of Mathematics and the Academy of Gewu, the ordinary people of Guanshishan Academy came.
"I said Liu Yuan, you are too high to think of the academy football team. Just you nerds, I'm one on top two. If you don't make it 3-0 today, I, Li Yan, will invite you to dinner. ”
Li Yan and Liu Yuan have a good relationship, but when they go to the court, they won't keep each other's hands.
"Cut! As far as your Gewu Academy is concerned, it is nothing more than relying on the physical fitness of the team members to work there. If you want me to say, this football game is still about skills. Today, don't say 3 to 0, even if you don't think about 1 to 0, don't be so simple when we make a 3 to 0, then you will suffer. ”
Even if the college's football team is counted, it is not particularly good in Guanshishan Academy.
After all, although there are a lot of students in the academy, their physical fitness is not as good as that of the students of Gewu and the Agricultural College.
Even the law school students seem to be stronger than them.
The only people that the academy can bully are basically the people from the academy and the medical school.
"You think beautifully, and when you go on the court, you know what it means to be skilled."
Seeing that Xu Jingzong had already come over, Li Yan didn't quarrel with Liu Yuan anymore, and trotted to the side of the Gewu student football team.
In these years, there are no coaches, everyone is playing there blindly.
As for the referee, Xu Jingzong personally played the game, so as not to be unconvinced.
As long as Xu Jingzong determines the judgment, basically similar situations will be carried out in accordance with Xu Jingzong's judgment in the future.
This is somewhat similar to the case law system of the British Empire.
Of course, this is not to say how good this set of things is for the British, but because Xu Jingzong himself feels that the rules of playing football are still not detailed enough, and they can only be slowly supplemented in combination with the actual situation.
"Ah Niu, hurry up and get into the carriage, you won't be able to catch up if it's late."
Liu Fang hired a four-wheeled carriage with rare generosity, came to Ah Niu's courtyard, and called him to go to Guanshishan Academy.
As the focus of the people of Chang'an City after tea and dinner, every move of Guanshishan Academy will soon spread in Chang'an.
Different from Keju's football, many people have heard of it as soon as it was launched at Guanshishan Academy.
Under the publicity of some people who regard Guanshishan Academy as a tourist attraction, more and more people come to Guanshishan Academy to watch football matches.
Especially when Guanshishan announced the rules and schedule of the football league of Guanshishan Academy for the first time, a lively scene began to appear at the gate of Guanshishan Academy.
"Brother Liu, I heard that we are also going to open up a vacant land in the workshop, and leave it for everyone to play football when the time comes. Do you think we should also organize a football team? When you are resting, you can kick together, if you don't know how good you are, you will have the opportunity to compete with those heavenly pride of Guanshishan Academy. ”
Ah Niu finished breakfast in three and two times, and followed Liu Fang into the carriage.
"It's completely possible, not only that, I think you can also set up your own football team in the Jintai Iron Shop, our Nanshan Construction Engineering football team has been established, I heard that from the beginning of tomorrow, Guanshishan Academy will come forward to organize the Datang Football League."
If there is any favorite word in Chang'an City these days, it must be football.
In particular, the workshop under the Chu Wangfu launched a large number of inflatable footballs made of whale skin in a short period of time, so that this originally relatively unfamiliar word spread among the people quickly.
"You're a good idea, I'll talk to Master about it and see if I can set up a football team. I think that with the physique of the craftsmen in our workshop, not to mention the petites in the academy, compared with the teams of other workshops, I am still very confident. ”
Mrs. Jin pinched her arms full of muscles with her hands, and then thought that there were so many craftsmen wielding hammers and muscles all over her body in the blacksmithing workshop, and felt that the football team of Mrs. Jin's blacksmith shop would definitely have the opportunity to show their skills in Chang'an City.
"That's not easy to say, in our Nanshan construction works, there are definitely no fewer strong people than in your workshop."
As soon as Liu Fang said this, Ah Niu immediately stopped gnawing.
This is full of Chang'an City, how many workshops dare to compare the number of helpers with Nanshan Construction Workers?
Besides, many of the helpers of this Nanshan construction worker do manual work, and in terms of physical fitness, it is really not comparable to ordinary workshop craftsmen.
Of course, football is not just about physical strength, skill and cooperation are also very important.
Otherwise, don't do the football game in the future, and everyone will directly compete for physical strength to win the victory.
"Beep!"
With Xu Jingzong's whistle, the competition between Gewu Academy and Arithmetic College officially began.
In the stadium of the University, 22 players are scattered all over the place.
Whether it is the Gewu Academy or the Academy, they have not yet formed their own independent formation.
Anyway, as long as you do your best to kick the ball into the goal within the limits of the rules.
"Oh! Entered! Entered! ”
Just after the opening, a student on the side of the academy kicked the football into the goal.
Then he excitedly picked up the team next to him and shouted.
However, the atmosphere around is a bit eerie.
"Chen Xing, are you stupid in reading? This goal is our team's goal, and the Gewu Academy is over there! ”
Liu Yuan pushed away Chen Xing, who was holding him, and pointed at Chen Xing with a blue face and scolded.
I just thought about giving the guys who are in the limelight in Gewu Academy a good way today.
As a result, Chen Xing, a pig teammate, actually came to an own goal!
This mood
"Huh?" Chen Xing was dumbfounded, and at this time, he also reacted, he was
"Beep! 1 to 0, Gewu Academy leads! ”
Although this was the first time that an own goal had occurred since the football match was held, Xu Jingzong decisively ruled that the goal was valid.
As long as it is counted as the first goal scored in the goal of the academy, no matter who kicked it, it is counted as the academy.
Li Yan listened to Xu Jingzong's verdict, and glanced at the team members beside him.
This lead came a little suddenly.
I was still waiting for the academy's attack, and I scored.
All the football players at Gewu Academy are still in their own half.
Although everyone is still confused, the game continues.
This little episode also made the surrounding audience more interested.
However, in less than a quarter of an hour after the opening, Gewu Academy scored another goal to take a 2-0 lead.
And the stadium was already surrounded by spectators.
Liu Jie, as Xu Jingzong's right-hand man, is naturally among them.
It seems that the construction of a special football stadium needs to be considered, otherwise it would not be possible to arrange so many spectators.
The people in front of them gathered in a circle, and the people in the back couldn't see anything.
After writing down a piece in his notebook, Liu Jie continued to look up to watch the game.
He is also the one who has played Kemari, but the intensity of that Keju is completely different compared to football.
Moreover, Liu Jie has slowly discovered that this football game is not about how powerful a single player is, but about teamwork, formation layout, and tactics.
Vaguely, there are many things that can be seen in a game.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being something that His Royal Highness the King of Chu came up with.
"Brother Eldest Sun, what do you think? Do we also have a football team in Weishui Academy? ”
In the crowd, Changsun Chong and Zheng Hai were also among them.
Guanshishan Academy has done something that has such a big impact, and the two representatives of their respective families, Changsun Chong and Zheng Hai, naturally have to come over to take a look.
If Weishui College loses the upper hand because of a small football team and reduces its influence in the hearts of the people of Chang'an City, it will not be worth it.
", why not? This football game makes people's blood boil, but it is very suitable for a place like the academy where young people are everywhere. Moreover, when I watch this football game, there are many truths about the art of war. No matter how bad it is, running around like this can also vent the excess energy of these people. ”
Don't think that only Xu Jingzong is in a situation where the students are troubled everywhere, and Weishui Academy and Qujiang Academy are not much better.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if you want to say this kind of whimsy, you are really not convinced. Just a simple change of the rules and a soccer ball made of whale skin, this Keju has become so popular. Even polo, which has been on the rise in recent years, is far from being able to compare to it. ”
Zheng Hai looked at the game in the field with a little emotion, and then looked at the reactions of the crowd around him, and basically decided in his heart to promote football in Weishui Academy.
"The stadium of this Guanshishan Academy is too simple, and when we go back, we immediately arrange craftsmen to build a football field, and when the time comes, our Weishui Academy latecomers will prevail, and the football team will be stronger than them, so Li Kuan will also make a wedding dress for us."
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
"Haha, good pickup!"
Just as Changsun Chong and Zheng Hai were talking, another wonderful scene occurred in the field.
I saw Li Yan go to the meeting with a single gun and kick the football towards the goal of the academy.
However, even the goalkeeper of the academy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, a flying pounce, and the ball is caught beautifully.
"Ah Niu, this football game is really enjoyable."
Liu Fang and Ah Niu were huddled in a corner, barely able to see the scene in the court.
"yes, I don't even have a seat, it's weird to stand on a hot day."
"Hey, now put a chair in front of you, can you sit still?"
Liu Fang and Ah Niu are already very familiar with each other, so they will naturally not speak so politely.
"Hehe, that's what I said. But in this game, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, we don't care, it's a little less to look forward to. ”
Ah Niu's words spoke to the hearts of many audiences.
