Holding a large-scale football game, Chen Xu is not a whim.

When he came to Xianyang and saw Ma Teng and a group of other gentlemen in the Liuxiang Garden, he thought about it, but because he hadn't gained a foothold in Xianyang, and he had been busy with all kinds of things, he didn't plan it.

And until now, the reforms have begun to get on the right track, especially because of the incident of the Ten Evils of Spells, Chen Xu decided to temporarily rest for a period of time, focusing on the construction of Dongfang Dao, the conflict between him and Li Si has reached a very fierce point, temporarily slow down the pace of reform, and not so aggressively force Li Si to disrupt his reform steps again.

Moreover, as long as Dongfang Dao is successfully built within a year, the reform of the commercial law he promoted will inevitably be successful, and Li Si can't stop it, and there is no need to stimulate Li Si at this juncture.

Therefore, Chen Xu was very quiet during this time, except for taking time to give lectures at the College of Engineering, he basically stayed in the other courtyard to inspect the construction of his farm, and every once in a while he would go to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion to find Fan Caiying's sneaky happiness, and occasionally go to the College of Agriculture, the College of Letters and the newspaper to inspect the situation.

In general, Chen Xu has been very idle recently, and he can just handle the affairs of the football league.

Someone is going to say, why don't ordinary people have enough to eat, and are they still in the mood to play football?

But in fact, this kind of sport has nothing to do with poverty and wealth, and whether you play well or not has little to do with poverty, and even has nothing to do with the number of people.

In later generations, China has a population of 1.3 billion and the second largest economy in the world, but men's football is a scum, on the contrary, those countries in South America with economic turmoil and even those countries in Africa who are so poor that they have developed football very well.

What's more, there are poor people and rich people at any time, and there are entertainment requirements at any time, the living standard of Xianyang people is not the same as that of the mountains and villages, this is currently the largest human city on the earth, gathering a population of millions of people, just like the gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome, enjoying the fierce and bloody confrontation, it is an entertainment game for the nobles and the rich.

The Great Qin Empire has developed to the current level, and it can already be proud of the entire earth civilization, and the current entire earth is estimated to have the Roman Republic to contend with.

However, according to the course of history, when Great Qin conquered the Xiongnu and Baiyue, it was also the time when Rome unified the Mediterranean, and fought two major wars with Carthage and Macedonia.

At the time of the collapse of Great Qin, it was the Roman Republic that was about to enter its most glorious period, but this glory was also similar to that of Great Qin, the country was full of all kinds of contradictions and rebellions, the contradictions between the conquered different races and the Roman Senate, the confrontation between slaves and slave owners never stopped, the famous Sicilian slave revolt and the Spartacus slave revolt, slowly dragged the huge and glorious Roman Empire into the quagmire of collapse.

However, the Roman Republic was so strong than Great Qin, and it lasted for more than a hundred years.

But even in the midst of frenzied uprisings and bloody repressions, Rome's entertainment never stopped, and in the gladiatorial arenas of cities large and small, strong slaves were trained to fight each other, and even lions and tigers, in order to win the pleasure of the nobility and the cheers of the populace.

Entertainment is the nature of human beings, and it can even be said that it is the nature of animals.

Being poor and happy is also a very good state of life.

On the streets and on the wharves outside the city, it is not uncommon to see some ragged men and helpers gathering around to gamble on dice in their spare time.

And once sports and gambling are linked, they are bound to have a great attraction, both for entertainment and for gambling money.

Gambling is the most common gambling activity in later generations, and it is also the most widely participated gambling activity in the whole human race.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, Chinese liked to gamble the most, and all kinds of fighting games were everywhere.

Since everyone loves to gamble, Chen Xu decided to carry out the gambling activity more colorfully, and at the same time, it can also be more formal, so that the huge betting masses can participate in football.

What the? You say that a decree should be introduced to prevent ordinary people from gambling?

That's impossible, up to the emperor and the civil and military ministers, down to the common people and pawns, there is no one who does not gamble, this is what Chen Xu saw after crossing over to Daqin.

Two boring people can take a piece of grass and even count ants.

When Chen Xu returned to Qinghe Courtyard, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan, Xing'er, and Yu Ji were not there, because they had to go to the women's college every day if they had no other arrangements.

Han Xin also came back for two days every ten days, and basically couldn't see anyone in the two days he came back, and he played with a group of classmates he knew in Xianyang City.

The identity of Qinghehou's younger brother is enough to walk sideways in Xianyang City, and there are countless people who scold him.

However, Chen Xu didn't pay much attention to it, it can be seen from the purpose of Han Xin's father Chen Hu to take Han Tian's family to work on the construction site of Dongfang Road, this is a demonic character, Chen Xu believes that he should distinguish the importance clearly, thirteen years old seems to be still young, in fact, he is already half an adult, I heard that he is studying very seriously in Weihe College, as for what he can look like in the future, Chen Xu does not care too much.

As long as there is no rebellion, everything is easy to say.

Even if it's a rebellion, as long as you follow yourself.

No one bothered, Chen Xu asked Qiu Xiang to get himself a bowl of ice powder, and while eating, he sat in the study and began to plan the rules and regulations of the Hercules Cup football game and some plans about gambling, while the four little maids took turns to stand next to them to help with fans and serve tea and water.

As a man, it is natural to like some sports, Chen Xu originally liked football and basketball, but since he came to Xianyang after the crossing, he began to dislike football, because the special Keju and the football of later generations are too different.

Most of the football in later generations is to dribble on the ground and scramble, but Keju is mainly in the air to pass and cooperate, once it lands as a violation, Chen Xu and Meng Yun and others have gone to Liuxiangyuan to play twice, very unaccustomed, and the ball is not an airbag, but a stuffed fur, the elasticity is not good, and the kick is soft.

Although the new style of Keju invented by Chen Xu in Qinghe Town has slowly become popular, it has not been able to be quickly accepted and promoted because of the ball and the court.

On weekdays, three or five people can kick and pass each other's heads and feet, and an open space of tens of square meters can be, but if it is a football, it is not very fun to play so little.

Therefore, if you want to hold a more formal football match, the first thing is to solve the problem of the venue.

However, the venue was not a problem for Chen Xu at all, he quickly wrote a letter and instructed the little maid to send it to the housekeeper and let him arrange it.

Nowadays, the most lively place in Xianyang is near the east gate of Xianyang, where there is not only the Weihe Bridge, but also a large waterwheel mill, and the river beach is also very large, you only need to find a flat open space between the bridge and the waterwheel mill to trim it, draw the stadium and install the goal.

If this matter is handled by an ordinary official, it is estimated that it will be difficult, but as long as Chen Xu speaks, with his current status in the rivers and lakes and the court, the internal history will make Qi Tang feel happy to help him do it, because if it is not done well, the emperor may personally ask about it.

As for football, it is not too difficult, I used to make a simple version of football in Qinghe Town, with a wild boar or sheep's bladder, wrapped in a layer of linen cloth outside, and then sewn a cowhide spherical cover on the outside, and finally the bladder was tightened after blowing, and the cowhide outside was sewn well, almost a primitive football, in addition to looking rough, it was similar to the football of later generations, the only thing was that the air pressure was insufficient, so the elasticity was not very good, but the kick was acceptable, at least it was much better than the bow ball of Seluhua fur.

Chen Xu quickly drew another picture and asked the maid to send it to the housekeeper, and asked him to arrange for someone to send it to the experimental factory for the craftsman to make a few.

The principle of the pump and the bellows is almost exactly the same, but it should be more compact and precise, just use a strong bamboo as an air pressure cylinder, and then do a good job of sealing the push rod and the air hole, which should not be too difficult for the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences.

The field is solved, the football is solved, Chen Xu picked up the graphite pen and paper and began to concentrate on planning this Hercules Cup football match.

Soon nearly an hour passed, Chen Xu wrote and painted more than ten pieces of paper, and almost sorted out the rules of various football games, football league rules, referee rules and betting rules in later generations.

The first three are easy to say, copying the football rules of later generations, as for the betting rules, Chen Xu in order to conform to the rough and simple gambling habits of the people of Daqin, adopted the simplest method possible, that is, there are only three kinds of betting games, you can play one, you can also play three, but there must be only one to win, and the bookmaker will also adjust the odds according to the level of the team in the future, so that there will be no pants to lose at that time.

Chen Xu stretched his waist and stood up, but looking at the planning books on the table, he was a little distracted in an instant.

I'm a special Hou master, although it's boring, but it's too troublesome if you do these things yourself, the most important thing is that he doesn't know much about the situation in Xianyang's current Keju world.

Therefore, this matter must be handled by someone who knows how to do it.

There is no one in the Hou Mansion who knows how to juju, and a group of guards will occasionally have a play, but they definitely can't run to be football players, and Meng Yun and a group of gentlemen are now going to organize their own football teams, and they must not have time to help themselves get it, Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought about it, and suddenly thought of a guy.
