Chapter 862: Dragon Boat Festival and Football
Compared with the previous dynasties of the Han family, the Great Song Dynasty is the most close to the people, and the people basically do not need to kneel when they see the king, they do not need to be summoned alone and do not worship, they only need to bow and salute. The emperor's micro-service private interview is more common, how can it be so exaggerated in later film and television, and he is careful not to reveal his identity, in fact, the so-called micro-service private interview is to wear ordinary clothes and walk around the people without pomp.
For example, Zhao Zhen attended the opening ceremony of football, which is a private visit to Weifu, of course, it is reasonable to expose the identity of the emperor in the end, otherwise how can the advertising effect be achieved?
Football is a physical fitness sport, the origin of football in later generations is generally not based on Chinese Keju, but based on British football, and Zhao Zhen's heart of the little grievances naturally to vent out, when his strength reaches, to change some small details.
For the first time, the Great Song Dynasty used the terms of black and white to stipulate the rules of the game, football evolved from Keju, and first began to be popular with the army, the role is the same as Keju, to cultivate and train the coordination ability between the soldiers, and now it is different, because of the fierce confrontation and exquisite technology, this traditional military game has gradually become a popular sport for the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the streets and alleys, children and idlers can be seen in groups of three or five, a beautiful rattan ball spinning flexibly under their feet, and only the official competitions of the Great Song Dynasty can use expensive balloons, which are blown up by pig urine bubbles and covered with leather. The comfort and feel of this soccer ball is much better than that of a rattan ball.
The football game of the Great Song Dynasty often attracts people from all over the world to gather here, and there is the largest football stadium in Beijing, Guangyu Shed, which is a huge place in the Great Song Dynasty and is called a shed, an elephant shed, and a Guangyu shed because of his unique structure.
In fact, relative to this name, Zhao Zhen is still used to calling this place the arena, this Guangyu shed doesn't even have a roof, how can it be called a shed? But apparently the people don't understand what an arena is, and they are still used to calling it Guangyu Shed.
The so-called Guangyu is a tall building or a vast space, Zhang Heng's "Tomb Fu" said: Yiyi will general, Chongdong Guangyu.
This is the debut of Guangyu Peng, fifteen teams from all over the Great Song Dynasty will compete here, compete for the final championship, Zhao Zhen personally arrived to add infinite enthusiasm to the opening ceremony, although the people know that the official family also likes football, but they did not expect to see the official family personally kick the ball to the middle of the court.
Zhao Zhen's ball fell into the hands of the referee impartially in the cheers of the people, and then Zhao Zhen stopped speaking, after all, in such a public occasion, the emperor's words could not appear too much, even if he was excited, he had to control his mood at the moment.
With the arrival of the participating teams, they were accompanied by a full thirty military ships, which did not have many soldiers in their cabins, but boxes of heavy copper coins...... These are the football lotteries.
There is no Internet, there is no strong communication, in this era to buy football lottery tickets, you can only pay the money early, and then wait for the results of the long game, Zhao Zhen thought that not many people would buy, who would have thought that the enthusiasm of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is so great, and their confidence in their team is so strong.
All gambling is gambling, in the Great Song Dynasty, gambling is legal, and is loved by the people, a country that even buys groceries, how can football lottery not be welcomed?
Similarly, there is gambling and there is fraud, Zhao Zhen's attention to football this kind of thing, to a large extent, makes football lottery transparent, in the previous life hated to play match-fixing, in the Great Song Dynasty if he wants to be met by those black hands who operate football to gain benefits, Zhao Zhen does not mind catching one and cutting one.
Obviously, the gambling of the Great Song Dynasty is not bad, and the long-term development has allowed them to have an industry criterion, large casinos will never bully customers, once this is the case, no one will go again, then his business will be over, another shocking discovery of Zhao Zhen is that the casinos of the Great Song Dynasty are the same as those of later generations, they do not rely on fraud and thousands to win money, they are the same as the big casinos on the right track in later generations, relying on mathematical probability.
So even if it is not a thousand, these large casinos can guarantee their profits as long as there is a flow of people, a very simple and crude way, of course, you will never win the profits of the casino, Zhao Zhen used the mathematics of later generations to calculate the conclusion, the highest win of the casino in the Song Dynasty is only 50% of the casino's one-day profit.
Of course, out of the gambler's mentality, it doesn't matter if you win the 50 percent, because you don't necessarily leave, and the greedy nature of human beings is likely to make you lose only a pair of crotch pants......
And Zhao Zhen's football lottery is a truth, through mathematical operations, to get a large number of lottery players' money, only the thing is simple, the big Song Dynasty's football lottery not only to guess the win or lose, and even to guess the score, so that only a small number of people can get double the reward, and these rewards for the big Song to make money is just a drop in the bucket......
And the person who is as excited as Zhao Zhen this time, in addition to Cai Boyu, the big shopkeeper of Guangyu Shed, is Bao Zheng, the third envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, you must know that more than half of this money is going to enter the three divisions and be included in the treasury!
Zhao Zhen integrated football events and betting, all of which were coordinated by the imperial court and Cai Ji to supervise each other to prevent the occurrence of unfair and fraudulent incidents.
The Dragon Boat Festival is the first national-level ball game in the Great Song Dynasty, and the gold absorption is naturally amazing, and even the hawkers selling food outside Guangyu's shed have made a lot of money, and the liveliness is even comparable to the New Year.
Of course, not only the people of the Great Song Dynasty were attracted to come, but even a large number of foreigners were filled with Guangyu Shed, and even the people of Yici Leye watched the game in the stadium, not to mention those foreigners who came to the Great Song Dynasty to do business.
The game on the pitch entered the climax at the beginning, the hat trick of outstanding footwork often attracts the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, the charm of football lies in this, the fierce confrontation makes people enthusiastic Pengbai, can't help but cheer, of course, the moment of the goal will also ignite the entire Guangyu shed, the running golfer can't help but jump up and swing after the goal.
The nearly 100,000-seat stadium was crammed into 130,000 people, but even that didn't make the venue crowded, and the hot weather couldn't stop people from loving the intense competition.
After the end of the five games in one day, everyone, including Zhao Zhen, felt that they were still unsatisfied, and hoped to hold the game overnight, but unfortunately the impact of lighting conditions had to be terminated, but fortunately, such a game would last for nearly ten days, and it would come back tomorrow.
When Zhao Zhen's imperial drive left, all the people stood up and bowed to see him off, but a pair of eyes outside the field were staring closely at the imperial gate that the emperor could use......
