In this era, there are not many things for entertainment, and Yuan Shu, a gentleman who likes to have fun, naturally got some entertainment items out of later generations. For example, mahjong, playing cards, etc., on the one hand, they are used to pass the time, and on the other hand, they can also get money from the hands of those wealthy gentry. And the entertainment projects that already exist in this era, Yuan Shu will also carry them forward.

Unlike later generations, there are not so many boring people in this era, most of them are pragmatists, and many of these games developed are meaningful. For example, Keju and polo were originally used to train soldiers and knights, practice martial arts, and exercise horsemanship.

For these entertainment projects, Yuan Shu naturally attaches great importance to them, especially the three items of Keju, horse racing, and polo, and Yuan Shu is even implementing them in the name of the country, preparing to build them into a national entertainment project.

Tian Feng and the others were originally extremely resistant to Yuan Shu's absurd behavior, but after Yuan Shu explained the meaning of doing so, they no longer stopped blocking it.

These three sports were prepared by Yuan Shu to strengthen the people and the army, and if they were popularized, they would not only help improve the physical fitness of the people, but also help to breed good horses. Even in the army, this kind of game is often held to develop strength and train soldiers to cooperate with each other.

On the day of rest, Yuan Shu and the others changed into civilian clothes and came to the stadium in the east of the city in a very low-key carriage.

In order to improve the physical fitness of the people and popularize sports, Yuan Shu built stadiums all over the country, which were found in various states, counties, and cities, ranging in size and scale, for various sports competitions and to make money.

The three major evils of pornography, gambling and drugs, gambling has been repeatedly banned, and Yuan Shu chose to guide him in a different way on the basis of paying close attention to it. Drawing on the sports lottery of later generations, these stadiums not only do not need to be maintained by the government, but can be self-sufficient, and even provide a lot of taxes.

There are three stadiums in Jinling City, and the one in the east of the city is the largest, which can accommodate 50,000 people, and the internal facilities are more luxurious and complete.

After getting out of the carriage, he easily entered the most luxurious box from the special passage, Yuan Shu lay down on the sofa, picked up the iced juice that had just been prepared on the table next to him and drank it, and looked at the venue through the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him. The box is located at the highest point of the stadium and has a panoramic view of the entire stadium.

At this time, it was the height of summer, the air was quite hot, the maid on the side took out two basins of saltpeter from the inner room and poured them into the water tanks on both sides of the room, and then gently shook the bell hanging on the wall, the fan next to the water tank slowly rotated, and the refreshing cool air gradually filled the whole room.

Two women with good faces stepped forward, standing on both sides of Yuan Shu, one on the left and one on the right, stretching out their slender jade hands and gently massaging Yuan Shu's shoulders and legs.

Needless to say, these are all the handiwork of Yuan Shu, and this gentleman can be said to have made the service in this box almost extreme, and has added a lot of modern elements. In addition to the current ones, there are also a variety of sweets and delicacies according to the needs and habits of the customers, and even the maids who play the piano and drums.

This box is the most luxurious of all the boxes and is designed for Yuan Shu. The wood used is more than 100 years old, and the interior decoration is gorgeous, and even the glass used for this floor-to-ceiling window is one-sided, so you can't see the inside from the outside. The box is also equipped with various mechanisms, all of which are from the hands of the Mo family, and there are no hundred and eighty dead people who don't even think about approaching.

Guo Jia also habitually leaned on the sofa, picked up a pot of iced plum wine, and drank it himself under the service of the maid. However, Jia Xu and Xun You were relatively restrained, and they were sitting on the chairs and whispering something.

"What's the matter? Take a gamble? Yuan Shu looked at the nine good horses lined up on the track below and said to the three of them.

"Okay!" Guo Jia, who often lingers in Fengyue places, naturally does not refuse to come.

The maid on the side brought a tray with the names of the nine horses, the riders, and the past records.

"How big is the play? One thousand taels? Yuan Shu looked at Guo Jia narrowly and teased.

"Your Majesty, don't laugh at Jia, Jia's total is three hundred taels left, and you have to leave one hundred taels to drink." Guo Jia smacked his lips and took out three silver tickets from his arms, and reluctantly pulled back another one.

"Don't mind, if you win, won't you earn it back? There are still six days to go, and the big deal is that you don't drink for a few days. Yuan Shu said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth. For a veteran like Guo Jia, Yuan Shu's salary and industry are very rich, which is enough to make his life worry. But Guo Jia likes to spend all day drinking, spending money like flowing water, and he is stunned to live a feeling of embarrassment in life, and Yuan Shu is also convinced.

"Forget it, let's keep it. Recently, a new wine came out of the Drunken Immortal Building, and I heard that it was made from a hundred fruits, so I still left one hundred taels to buy two jars to taste. Guo Jia didn't need to look at it to know Yuan Shu's expression and thoughts, and said resolutely.

"Okay, then two hundred taels, I'll press the third gale." Seeing that Guo Jia didn't take the bait, Yuan Shu also let go of the idea of pit him, and took out two silver tickets from his arms, and said excitedly.

He is not short of money, but he still likes the feeling of gambling money, and this is not the first time he has played this bet on horses.

After that, Yuan Shu glanced at the three of them: "Let's say it first, don't cheat!" ”

The spiritual talents of the three people in front of him are all bug-like existences in gambling, if it is really for the purpose of winning, Yuan Shu will definitely lose.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, when have we cheated, it's just a matter of eyesight." Guo Jia said casually.

"Which one do you choose?"

Guo Jia looked at the state of the horses and knights on the track, and then said, "No. 5." ”

Jia Xu glanced lightly in the direction of the arena, and then glanced at Guo Jia: "No. 9." ”

And Xun You didn't even look at it: "Eight." ”

"Boom!"

With the sound of a gong, the nine horses rushed forward like arrows off the string under the whip of the knight. Among them, the third number pressed by Yuan Shu was the first and rushed to the front. The horses pressed by Guo Jia and Jia Xu were in the third or fourth position, and the horses selected by Xun You fell last.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu's eyes were red, and he stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement. Accompanied by the roars of countless people on the entire arena, they also shouted loudly.

However, the good times were short-lived, as the No. 3 horse started too fast and was a little sluggish in the final half of the lap, slowing down and gradually falling into the middle of the race. However, the horse race chosen by Guo Jia and Jia Xu came from behind, and slowly overtook it, going hand in hand and being in the first row. However, Xun Youxuan's horse race is still in the last place, and there is no possibility of victory.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu shouted even harder. But in the end, it still couldn't change the ending, and the war horses selected by Guo Jia and Jia Xu reached the finish line almost at the same time, and in the end, the former was on the front line and won the first place.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Jia can drink casually again these days." Grabbing six silver tickets from the tray, Guo Jia said with a smile: "I would have listened to you if I knew it, and I would have pressed another hundred." What a pity! I only earned four hundred taels. ”

Seeing Guo Jia's underbeaten look, Yuan Shu's face instantly darkened.
