"Twenty thousand!"

"Three of a kind!"

"Bang!"

After the rules were explained, Zhao Yin, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai began to play mahjong.

"Do you still think mahjong is a plaything?"

After playing a round of cards, Zhao Yin looked at the surrounding royal historians with a smile.

"There is really something mysterious in this mahjong!"

One of the Imperial Historians was the first to speak.

"What does Zhongcheng think?"

Zhao Yin looked at Yu Shi Zhongcheng again.

"Ahem......!"

Yu Shi Zhongcheng coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, "Even if you can improve your calculations, you can't play all day!" ”

"That's right, you still have to focus on your studies, and you can't play mahjong for more than two hours a day in the future!"

At this moment, Li Er deliberately said with a tiger face.

"Ah......?"

As soon as these words came out, in exchange for the resentful little eyes of Li Chengqian and the others.

"Okay, if all Aiqing is fine, let's all retreat!"

Li Er waved his hand tiredly.

"Wait for the resignation!"

After everyone bowed, Li Er got up and walked towards the apse.

I just watched it and was having fun, Zhao Yin's kid actually stopped, and he was itchy for a while, so he hurriedly retreated to the yard and did another game!

"Pony, can this mahjong really improve calculations?"

After Li Er left, a minister immediately came up to ask.

"Didn't you all see it just now? If you want to know yourself and your opponent, you have to calculate by heart, do you think you can improve your computing ability? ”

Zhao Yin explained with a smile.

"Well, that makes sense!"

"Dare to ask the horse, where did you buy this mahjong? My wives and concubines are idle and bored all day, if you buy them a pair to go back, you can not only kill time, but also improve your calculation skills, the best of both worlds! ”

"The subordinate also wants a pair!"

"And the old man...!"

……

After the successful sale of mahjong, Zhao Yin began to think about other entertainment projects, and he couldn't let the people of Datang play mahjong all day long, right?

"Father-in-law, after careful consideration after the son-in-law went back, I think that Datang is lacking some sports now!"

A few days later, Zhao Yin came to the Lizheng Hall again and found Li Er.

Since Li Er ordered that he should not play mahjong for more than two hours a day, he has also set an example and never played all night again, because it was too sad!

"Sports?"

After hearing Zhao Yin's words, Li Er immediately frowned, because he couldn't figure it out at all and didn't understand what it meant?

"That's right! Father-in-law, the imperial court can hold a sports meeting on a regular basis, and set up some awards in it to encourage the people of the Tang Dynasty to participate bravely, and His Majesty can be regarded as a fair referee, I wonder if my father-in-law is interested? ”

Zhao Yin spoke eloquently, he had absolute confidence that Li Er would definitely agree to his request.

"It's not proper, this is undoubtedly another move that costs people and money, it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!"

Li Er shook his head slightly, there is no need to think about this matter at all, you must know that the matter of hunting at the beginning, there are no awards and other matters, and they have already been impeached by those imperial historians I don't know how many times.

Now this so-called sport, if it is to get an award, it will inevitably cost a lot of silver, and the ministers of the court and the central government will definitely not agree to it, which is no different from grandstanding.

"Father-in-law, but are you worried that the ministers will impeach you for this? You can rest assured that your son-in-law has a plan. ”

He had already seen Li Er's worries, and asked directly at the moment, you must know that sports are good activities for the benefit of the country and the people, and Datang should not give up this decision.

"Tell me?"

Li Er's eyes lit up again, he didn't expect this kid to even think of this matter, if he could make the ministers shut up, he would really have a lot of interest in this referee.

"For all, sports are great for everyone! Since Datang has entered the industrial age, all the workers have such a large workload every day, and in the long run, they will develop the vice of laziness, which is absolutely fatal to the current Datang. ”

"Second, if Your Majesty is the referee in person, it can be regarded as a change of direction to tell everyone that Your Majesty has no need to forget his people, all this is for the sake of the future of Datang, and it is estimated that no one will object!"

Zhao Yin told the purpose of all this with a smile on his face, he didn't believe that this old man would refuse.

"Yes, no matter what time it is, I can't forget my people, but you kid hasn't elaborated on what types of so-called sports are, and I'm really curious."

The more he listened to this kid's words, the smile on Li Er's cheeks became more victorious, and finally he asked directly.

"In the past, Datang only had horseback riding, archery, martial arts, etc., but these things can only be counted as a few, and we can add some track and field, javelin, shot put, horizontal bar and so on."

I randomly found a few items and said them, and in the sports meetings of later generations, there were many large and small events, and many activities could be displayed in Datang.

"Yes, you kid is very thoughtful, but have you thought about it, how many people will come to participate in this so-called sports meeting? If everyone were to participate, wouldn't I be exhausted? ”

These things can indeed strengthen the body, but Li Er quickly thought of a serious problem, if this can't be solved, it's better not to hold this sports meeting.

"Father-in-law, although rest assured, in fact, this matter is very easy to solve, now I have a lot of resources in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many talents from all over the world, so I can let them hold it locally, and then send the elites from all over the country to Chang'an to participate in the games!"

"At that time, I will be able to distinguish which athletes from place are the best, and at the same time, I can better tap out the talents of my Datang."

"Secondly, because Your Majesty is the referee, no matter where they win the championship, they will receive great glory, which can also prompt officials and athletes in other places to redouble their efforts and strive to shine in front of you next time!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yin's smile was even worse.

Those local officials usually don't have many opportunities to meet the saints, and some don't even know what the emperor looks like for the rest of their lives.

Now that they have such an opportunity to shine in front of the Holy One, I believe they will do their best!

"Uh-huh......! Yes, that's right! ”

Li Er thought for a moment, and then nodded again and again.

This is definitely another great time to buy people's hearts, and he will inevitably raise his hands in favor.

"Yin'er, the sports meeting you mentioned is really desirable, but I just don't know, can women participate?"

Seeing that he agreed, Empress Changsun hurriedly asked, as the queen, she hoped even more that the women of the Tang Dynasty could also be self-reliant.

"Queen Mother, this is naturally possible, as long as you are an adult, both men and women, you can participate in this sports meeting!"

"Moreover, the Games will still adopt a system of survival of the fittest, and I believe that many people will show their talents in different fields!"

Zhao Yin nodded slowly, now this is just a proposal, and it will take a lot of time to really implement it.
