"Da Lang, I heard that you are looking for me, but is there something?" The second uncle Zhang Jianzhong broke into Zhang Junping's study in a hurry.

"Second Daddy!" In ancient times, filial piety was the most, even if Zhang Jianzhong was no longer successful, he was also Zhang Junping's elder, and Zhang Junping had to stand up to greet him.

After letting Zhang Jianzhong sit down in his seat, Zhang Junping asked with a smile: "Second Daddy, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

"Da Lang, I haven't been out to eat and play lately! You can ask Zhang Lu about this! Recently, your little aunt gave birth to a younger brother for you, and the second uncle is busy taking care of your little aunt! You still have two little aunts who are about to give birth, how can the second uncle have the time to go out and play! Zhang Jianzhong hurriedly explained.

"Huh! Congratulations to the second father! I'm so busy that I didn't know that my little aunt had added a younger brother to me!

This is the little nephew's! I also hope that the second father will atone for his sins! Zhang Junping stood up and apologized to Zhang Jianzhong, and then instructed Zhang Lu: "Let's add Ding to the Zhang family, this is a great joy!" Uncle Lu, Aunt Houzhai, see what you need, some of the family should be sent over quickly, and those that are not at home will go out to buy!

The little aunt added Ding to our Zhang family, this is a hero! You can't let the little aunt be wronged! ”

"Lang Jun, don't worry! The second room needs to be comprehensive! Zhang Lu responded.

"Hmmm! Second Daddy, I came to you this time because I have something for you to do! After doing a great job, the little nephew will find a way to help the second uncle find an official position! ”

"Really? Dalang didn't lie to me? As soon as Zhang Jianzhong heard that he could find an official position, he immediately stood up happily, looked at Zhang Junping excitedly and asked.

"Second Daddy, when did the little nephew deceive the second Daddy!" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.

"Da Lang, I don't know what Da Lang asked me to do?"

"Second Daddy, but bullfighting?"

"Bullfighting, I naturally know, but there are few bullfights here in Kaifeng Mansion! Cockfighting, but there are a lot of dog fights! ”

"Hmmm! If you want to come to this cockfight, you have participated in a lot of dog fighting, and the rules are familiar! ”

"That is, not only cockfighting, dog fighting, familiar with Uncle Wei, but also the bullfighting, Uncle Wei has also participated in it several times, and I know the rules inside!" As a member of the Yanei, Zhang Jianzhong is naturally familiar with cockfighting and dog fighting.

"Well, what I asked you to do is to organize a bullfighting competition, and Lu Bo will arrange someone to cooperate with you! The bigger the momentum, the better! ”

"I'm going to organize a bullfight? But I..." said that Zhang Jianzhong was interested in participating in the bullfighting competition, but when it came to the organization, Zhang Jianzhong began to be stunned in his heart, can he do it?

"Second daddy, don't worry, I don't blame you for messing up! Do a good job, your benefits are indispensable!

You can advertise and compete in bullfights, which can be divided into the selection round, preliminary round, semi-final, semi-final, and final! The king of cattle who competed in the final round can get ten thousand dollars!

As long as you are selected, you will be given consistent money, and then you will compete every day, which is the preliminary round, and the first place in the preliminary round can get ten times! Every ten years, the competition is the semi-final, and the first place in the semi-final can get 100 yuan! Every month, the first place is the semi-finals, and the first place can get thousands of dollars, and every year one competition is the finals, and the first place in the finals gets thousands of dollars! ”

"Da Lang, this is a lot of money! What good do we do for spending so much money? ”

"Yes! Didn't you just say that there are fewer bullfighting competitions in Kaifeng, this is the market! Let's organize a bullfighting competition, take out so many bonuses, and go to watch the bullfighting competition, should we collect some tickets?

Also, since it is a bullfighting competition, it is indispensable to bet, let's sit in the bank, no matter who wins or loses, we will make money in the end! ”

"Is that so?" Zhang Jianzhong thought about Zhang Junping's words in a bit of a daze.

Zhang Junping patted his forehead, his second uncle, it seems that he can't just count on him, he has to find a helper for him.

"So, I'll find you another helper, and you two will do it together! As for the money, you don't have to worry, even if you lose money, I don't blame you! ”

"Really? If you lose money, don't blame me? ”

"Second Daddy, how much money did you spend on the family? Have I ever blamed you? ”

"This, I was also deceived! I'll never go to that kind of place again! ”

"The helper I found for you is Liu Congjian of the Liu family! This kid has a good set of crooked doors, you two have to get it well! ”

"Huh? How do you find him? It was this guy who tricked me into going to the gambling house to make money, and later I found out that the gambling house belonged to his family! When Zhang Jianzhong heard that it was Liu Congjian, he immediately shouted.

Zhang Junping smiled, knowing that he had been deceived, and he could still be saved.

"Don't worry! He won't dare to lie to you again this time! You two have a good job of working together! ”

"Alright! That kid is shrewd like a monkey! Zhang Jianzhong saw that his nephew had decided, and he could only accept his fate, not to mention that he was interested in bullfighting, and the thought of organizing such a big bullfighting competition made him feel feverish.

What's more, the nephew also promised that as long as he did a good job, he would get an official position for himself in the future.

The family of the powerful, the ancestors are all big officials, although Zhang Jianzhong is not a weapon, but he dreams of having an official body and being able to go out majestic.

"Well, you go back and think about the specific rules first! Roughly according to the framework I just said, get a copy of the rules of the game, and I'll take a look! ”

"Good! Da Lang, you wait, I'll get it! Zhang Jianzhong didn't mention taking care of his son, and hurriedly ran to get the rules of the game.

"Agui, you go to Liu's Mansion to spread the word and let Liu Congjian come to see me! Of course, if I don't come, I'll have to visit in person! Zhang Junping explained to Zhang Gui again.

"Whoa!" Zhang Gui agreed, turned around and went to Liu's mansion to deliver the word.

"Lang Jun, what are you doing this bullfighting competition for?"

"Now a cow is only 11 or 2 yuan, and a pair of eggplants are sold for tens of thousands of dollars! The price of cattle is so cheap, and there is naturally not much motivation for raising cattle!

Everything in this world is profit, as the saying goes, the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The imperial court repeatedly encouraged cattle breeding and gave various subsidies!

But if there is no profit, how can those farmers be willing to raise cattle?

Even if we all know that cattle are important animal power, but people can't raise them anymore, how can they have spare money to raise cattle? Raising a cow is more expensive than raising people! ”

In the Song Dynasty, a live cow, a sturdy adult cow, was sold for only 112 yuan in official sales, and on the black market, beef was sold for 15 to 200 yuan a catty, and an adult cow could produce between 200 and 300 catties of meat, that is to say, a dead cow could be sold for 30 or 40 yuan, which was three times that of a live cow.

But it was a black market, normal, the imperial court forbade the killing of cattle, even if they were sick and disabled, they were not allowed to kill, they could only wait for the cows to die of natural old age, and the price of beef was also strictly regulated, only allowed to be sold for fifty yuan, which was about the same as the price of live cattle, and bothered to raise them, but there was not much profit at all.

A cow, raised from small to large, but a lot of work, once the cow is sick and disabled, can only be raised, to the cattle pension to the end, the average family that raised ah! Only those wealthy households can afford to raise cattle.

This is also the fundamental reason why the imperial court has repeatedly encouraged cattle breeding, but the growth of cattle has been slow.

It can be said that cattle were an important animal power in ancient times, which is well known, but because of some laws and regulations of the imperial court, cattle raising has become a high-risk industry.

"Lang Jun wants to encourage cattle raising through this method?"

"Haha! Lubo, if I say, I want to eat beef, what kind of beef from a prime-aged cow and not from old and dead beef, would you believe it? Zhang Junping asked with a laugh.

"Lang Jun is joking!" Obviously, Zhang Lu didn't believe Zhang Junping's words, and he worked so hard to eat beef.

Although the imperial court forbade the killing of cattle, as a powerful family, there was no way to eat beef, so why go around in such a big circle.
