Chapter 50 Two Things That Caused a Sensation in Kaifeng
Liu Congjian moved quickly, and the next day he found craftsmen to start building a bullring.
At the same time, notices were posted at the four city gates of Kaifeng Prefecture, the State Bridge, Xiangguo Temple and other prosperous areas.
The popularity of the Great Song Dynasty culture was not so high, and most people were illiterate, so there were people under each notice to help interpret the notice.
"Is this true? As long as you are selected, you can have consistent money? ”
"Of course it's true! Don't see that? This is an activity carried out by the Liu family! The bullring has already begun to be built outside the city! ”
The external propaganda did not bring Zhang Jianzhong, on the surface, it was a bullfighting competition organized by the Liu family's three yamen, and Zhang Jianzhong had another task in the dark.
"This little brother, what kind of cow can be selected?"
"Adult cattle with strong physiques are selected!"
"It's good to be selected to have consistent money, but this bullfight, what can I do if the bull is injured? It's not easy for a family to raise a cow that is thrifty! An old man thought long-term, shook his head and sighed.
"Old man, my family Langjun said that if it is because the bull is injured, disabled, and dead, my family Langjun will buy the cow at double the price! My family Langjun said that the organization of bullfighting competitions is for entertainment, and it is also to encourage cattle breeders to raise more cattle, and they will never let cattle breeders suffer! The servant who was in charge of reading the notice heard the old man's words, and said proudly, tilting his head.
The seven officials in front of the prime minister's door, who can command the work at home in all four compartments, and walk out on the street, they all have the pride of being superior.
"When does registration start?" Those who have cattle at home start asking when to sign up.
Don't think about whether you can win or not, and get the money in your hands first.
With the usual money, you can buy three but rice, you can pull a piece of cloth for the lady in the family to make new clothes, and you can also buy some candy and snacks for the child to beat the teeth.
Participate in the competition, if you are injured and die, it is the best thing, you can get double the money, how much is double, more than 20 yuan, obediently! I've never seen so much money, old man! How to spend it?
Farmers also have the wisdom of farmers, a cow is injured, and when it dies, it can get double the money, which is a pie-in-the-sky thing!
Those who don't raise cattle at home regret hang their heads, and they already know that they also raise cattle, and they can't work hard and lose thousands of dollars in vain.
Such people don't think that they can't win the cattle competition, they only have the usual money, they only think that their own cattle must be the best, and they will definitely be able to win the first place.
At the same time, there was also an explosive news circulating in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Zhangjia Academy was renamed Vientiane Academy and reopened to accept students.
Vientiane Academy has opened two classes, the enlightenment class and the imperial examination class, and hires famous teachers and Confucian professors to study literature, and even ordinary gentlemen are lifted people who have passed the government examination.
The great Confucian Li Jin closed his own academy and went to teach at Vientiane Academy.
Vientiane Academy, 300 times a year!
So expensive?
People don't let you pay it now, and then collect it after you get into the Jinshi! said that if you don't pass the exam, you won't be charged for the Jinshi!
The academy also cares about eating, living, and wearing, and there are eight sets of clothes throughout the year!
When did Vientiane College start accepting students?
Registration is now open for anyone between the ages of six and twenty-five.
Such remarks spread rapidly through the mouths of storytellers in various wine shops and teahouses.
In ancient times, the best place to spread the news and promote gossip was a restaurant and tea shop.
Among the markets, the bullfighting competition is the most popular, and the Vientiane Academy is widely spread in restaurants and tea shops.

"How unreasonable!" Emperor Zhao Heng threw a piece of music to the ground and scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, why be angry, these imperial histories are rumors, and I want to find something to play on it, not to mention this matter of killing cattle and eating meat, in the eyes of those imperial histories, it is a big event when the sky falls! If it doesn't play, the concubine will be strange! Empress Liu E picked up the fold, looked at it, and comforted the emperor with a smile, "It's just that I pity this Zhang Bo'an, who is loyal, and was actually scolded as a traitor!" Slander! ”
Seeing Zhang Junping's scolding in the twist and turn, Queen Liu E couldn't help but giggle, quite a bit of schadenfreude.
"I'm not angry because of this! Yesterday, when Bo'an was doing something, there were only a few people in this palace, but today there is a royal history to impeach Bo'an for his gossique and bewitching the public, bewitching me to kill cattle and eat meat, destroying people's livelihood, and disturbing Gangchang!
I'm angry, is there a secret in this palace? Emperor Zhao Heng's face was pale, and his hands trembled even more.
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't spread the word about this matter!" Queen Liu E couldn't sit still, and hurriedly knelt down to clarify.
"Your Majesty, the old slave never dares to spread the news about the affairs in the palace!" Zhou Huaizheng was even more frightened and knelt down to defend himself.
"Concubine, please, if I can't even believe my concubine, then I will really become a loner!
Zhou Qing's family also get up! Zhou Qing's family is also trustworthy! Emperor Zhao Heng trembled and helped Empress Liu E up, and comforted Zhou Huaizheng softly.
The emperor's feelings for Empress Liu E have remained the same for decades.
"Zhou Qing's family, check it out and see who passed the news out!"
"Yes! The old slave is going to check! Zhou Huaizheng was ordered to investigate.
On that day, there were only Emperor Zhao Heng, Empress Liu E, the great eunuch Zhou Huaizheng, and a few small eunuchs, it was not difficult to check at all.
Take down a few little eunuchs, and there will be results in a beating.
"Your Majesty, yesterday's Zuo Shuzi ate beef was told to Gong'e Yao Ping as a joke by the chamberlain Wang Xingsheng, and Gong'e Yao Ping told it to the imperial dining room to buy Cheng Lan, Cheng Lan passed this matter out of the palace, and got ten dollars!"
"How can this be true? How unreasonable! What kind of white-eyed wolves did I raise? It's really bold to take the news in the palace and sell it!
Check it out to me! Thorough investigation! I want to see how many dogs are still eating inside and outside of this palace in my palace! Emperor Zhao Heng was so angry that he directly kicked over the table and shouted angrily at Zhou Huaizheng.
Emperor Zhao Heng was angry not about spreading the news that Zhang Junping was eating beef, but about the nature of this matter, which made Emperor Zhao Heng very insecure.
The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty should be the most insecure royal family of all dynasties, and there is no one.
"Your Majesty atoned for your sins, the old slave was incompetent, and he didn't manage the servants well! Please punish Your Majesty! Zhou Huaizheng knelt down and pleaded guilty.
The inner servants of the vertical arch hall are all under the management of Zhou Huaizheng, and now that such a thing has happened, Zhou Huaizheng naturally cannot escape his responsibility.
"Reprimand? Of course I'm going to punish you! Get down and lead the board yourself, if something like this happens, I'll cut you dog thing directly! Emperor Zhao Heng pointed at Zhou Huaizheng and scolded angrily.
Zhou Huaizheng secretly hated in his heart, it was you, Zhang Junping, who didn't teach the prince badly, but taught the emperor badly, and the emperor never scolded dogs before!
scolded in his heart, and he had to obediently go out to find someone to beat his own board, and then check the news outside the palace after the fight.
