Chapter 243: The Role of the Martial Arts Arena

The order was conveyed by Xu Feng in less than half an hour, and Wang San came to Shi Bin's study, and his face was full of smiles, but that smile made people look unpleasant. grinning and squinting, not like an official but like a ruffian.

However, Shi Bin does have a ghost in his heart, and if he is a little accommodating, it can also be said that building this martial arts arena is a 'balance between public and private', so he doesn't feel that there is anything too much.

It's just that he doesn't like Wang San's indecent appearance, Shi Bin immediately spoke: "What is the matter with Brother Xian here?" Just now I ordered Xu Feng to tell you about building a martial arts arena, didn't he tell you? Or have you already made a plan to make the difference? ”

"Big brother, building a martial arts arena is not a trivial matter, it costs a lot of money and a lot of labor, how can the younger brother make a plan in less than half an hour, if it is really to come and pay the errand, it is too irresponsible. The younger brother just wants to come and discuss with the eldest brother the specific matters of building this martial arts arena, let's discuss the younger brother first and then make a plan, it will be much faster. Shi Bin said very seriously.

Wang San's words are of course right, but Shi Bin doesn't want to discuss it all the time, although it is good to be loyal to the ear, but after all, no one wants to be constrained, and Yiyantang feels much more comfortable.

should have understood Shi Bin's thoughts very well, Wang San grinned again and said, "May I ask you, big brother, do you plan to use this martial arts arena specifically for the selection and competition of soldiers or do you want to have some other role?" ”

What other effects? This has already shown that Wang San knows his little abacus, and Shi Bin did not answer positively, only said, "The more uses the better, too single is a bit wasteful, not to mention that we can't do this if we don't have enough financial resources." ’

"The eldest brother is really far-sighted, and the younger brother admires it." Wang San said "sincerely" while giving a fist salute.

In fact, Shi Bin wanted to give Wang Sanyi a combination at this time, but he still had to ask his capable brother to do things, so Shi Bin decided to write down his fight and then calculate the general account.

"Less sycophants, I only think that there are a few more functions, but I haven't thought about what other functions there are, it's not a lot of foresight, at most I just agreed to Xu Feng's suggestion."

"It is a great virtue to be humble and good."

Shi Bin is not that kind of saint or still has some vanity, and was finally defeated by Wang San's bucket of nonsense, and then said: "Brother doesn't have to praise me like this, don't talk about virtue, that is, don't be stubborn and self-serving." ”

This can be said to make Shi Bin very happy, and he has already left Wang San's annoying smile behind him. Perhaps liking to hear such a comfortable compliment again, Shi Bin motioned for Wang San to continue, and said, 'Only he can make constructive suggestions'.

No one hates other people's compliments, and when Shi Bin asks him to say 'only he can make constructive suggestions'. In this way, of course, Wang San was taken into the ditch by Shi Bin and began to talk about his opinions.

"Big brother, this martial arts arena can not only be used for our recruitment and training, but also for various competitions, and those who win the competition will get the prizes provided by those big bosses."

"The prize offered by the big boss? Of course, there is value in the competition, but why do those bosses give out prizes? Shi Bin didn't understand this aspect very well, so he asked.

"The eldest brother doesn't know much about the lives of those rich people, they deal with power and profit all day long, and they can't avoid these everywhere they go, so their lives are actually very boring. If there is some exciting but harmless, and not very expensive event, they will definitely support it, even if you don't negotiate the prize with them, they will take the initiative to make this suggestion in order to have this competition regularly. ”

"Really?" This seems a bit incredible to Shi Bin.

"Really. Brother, have you forgotten that your father-in-law often asks his subordinates to collect crickets? Wang San asked with a meaningful smile.

How can this be forgotten? Shi Bin knew about this from the beginning, so he looked down on this father-in-law who was a little unprofessional. "But eldest brother, I haven't seen him play with crickets by himself, but he often sends crickets into the palace to the emperor." Shi Bin said disdainfully.

"Emperor Lizong is a person who likes to fight crickets, he is now drunk and dreams and ignores government affairs, and his biggest hobby is fighting crickets. And your father-in-law is on this line, so even after his sister Jia Guifei dies, he can still be in a high position. Wang San said very seriously.

After Wang San said this, Shi Bin understood, and immediately instructed that there should be stands in this martial arts arena, and it was also divided into civilian areas, distinguished guest rooms and master rooms, and there must be a certain amount of guards since the distinguished guest room.

"Big brother has a good idea, little brother hasn't thought of these yet. After being reminded by the eldest brother, the younger brother has thought of a good thing..." This time, Wang San smiled even more weirdly.

This kind of smile is a sign that Wang San poured bad water, and Shi Bin didn't bother to care, just signaled him to hurry up and tell this 'good thing'.

"Big brother, what really makes money in this kind of martial arts arena is not those tickets, but gambling."

Gambling, this word is too familiar to Shi Bin, although he doesn't gamble, but he has heard enough and seen enough. What's more, he also used gambling to overshadow Liu Zhenxiao's son and once got Liu Zhenxiao from the position of Zhizhou. Since gambling was legal in the Great Song Dynasty, there were gambling houses in almost all cities, even in some small towns.

"You mean we're going to use the results of this contest to open the game?" Shi Bin asked.

Wang San nodded with satisfaction, "Speaking of which, I wonder if the eldest brother has thought of anything else?" ”

Other? Shi Bin is a little stuck, he can already make a lot of money from tickets and bets, what else? looked at Wang San in surprise and slandered his greed.

"Big brother, do you think those guys who lost so much are really unlucky?"

This is something that no one believes, there must be someone making trouble, thinking of this, Shi Bin suddenly realized, "You mean to use this competition to sit in the village?" ”

gave Shi Bin a 'teachable' look, "That's it, the eldest brother is kind-hearted, but he doesn't have to pity those gamblers, they deserve it." Even if they are not pit by us here, they will also be pit by other dealers and have nothing, but if they are pit by us, at least the big brother will use the money on the right path, but other dealers may not. ”

Originally, he felt a little uncomfortable, after all, sitting in the village was a lack of morality, but now Wang San gave him a hat of 'he Shi Bin will use the money on the right path', which made Shi Bin feel less uncomfortable in his heart.

"That's still not good, our gambling house should have a level, and you can't gamble for a penny."

Knowing that this was a condition of Shi Bin's compromise, and also for peace of mind, Wang Sanben didn't want to go too far, so he immediately agreed, saying that he could only participate with a minimum of one or two silver, and if he wanted to raise a bet, he would have to get at least five points of silver.

Talking about this, Shi Bin was already very satisfied, but he always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't think of it, so he had to leave Wang San, who was about to leave to make plans, to drink tea with him.

"Wang San, what else can you do with this martial arts arena besides ordinary competitions and gambling?" Shi Bin asked tentatively again.

In Wang San's opinion, he has put forward a lot of opinions, and the original purpose of Shi Bin's construction of the martial arts arena must be to make life less boring, and to get a balance between public and private, so as not to make people feel that he is a person who starts to do not do his job after achieving certain results.

But Shi Bin now has to ask him if he has more good advice, which can make him a little embarrassed, although he has Xiaozhi, he is not a sleeping dragon and phoenix, and he can't frown and think about it.

Knowing that Wang San was a little embarrassed, Shi Bin didn't want to be 'considerate', and wanted to take advantage of this most appropriate time to come up with some good ways to enrich the functions of the martial arts arena.

After drinking a pot of tea but not coming up with a solution, Wang San also had a lot of things to do in his hands, so he was even more anxious, and accidentally rubbed the teacup on the coffee table to the ground and broke it.

Xu Feng, who heard the sound, immediately rushed in from outside the door, and began to clean up without saying a word when he saw the fragments of teacups on the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Bin had a flash of inspiration and thought of a word - waiter.

Those VIPs are all rich and powerful, and it is definitely not enough to have guards, but they should also need other necessary services, such as pouring tea and handing water, fanning, massages, etc. If there were no such services, it is estimated that those gentlemen would never come a second time if they came once.

The more Shi Bin thought about it, the more excited he became, wouldn't this martial arts arena become a big project integrating recruitment, training, gladiatorial fighting, gambling houses, teahouses, and massage parlors? When you think about it, you immediately affirm that this tournament is definitely worth the investment.

Seeing Xu Feng leave quietly after cleaning up, Shi Bin became more and more satisfied with him in his heart.

But Wang San thought that Xu Feng was too reckless and didn't know how to observe. It's just that a teacup fell on it, but he made it look like he was facing a great enemy, and when he walked in, why rush in and make people unnecessarily nervous.

Seeing Wang San frowning, Shi Bin asked, "What's wrong with Brother Xian, but you are a little dissatisfied with Xu Feng?" ”

"It's a little dissatisfied," Wang San was now anxious and embarrassed, and said bluntly: "That Xu Feng is naturally loyal, but he is a little reckless. It's just that a cup fell off and he was so nervous that I almost saw him pull out his knife. ”

"Brother Xian doesn't need to be so angry, the eldest brother knows that you are a little anxious because you can't think of a way, but if you are the superior, don't worry about them. But you have a point, it's a little inappropriate for him to rush in alone with such a strong man. ”

"Of course not. What if I accidentally scare my big brother? ”

Scare yourself? Shi Bin couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, but he just thought that Wang San had some small belly chicken intestines today.

"Big brother, you're usually fine, what if you're weak?"

It turned out that Wang San was worried that he would be scared out of trouble by such a reckless person when he was weak and sick, and indeed, there were not a few people who were scared to death in this era when they still believed in ghosts and gods.

I didn't want Wang San to always accuse Xu Feng, a subordinate who was loyal to him, because of this trivial matter, so I thought about his words repeatedly, hoping to find a suitable reason for persuasion.

I didn't expect the reason, but I kept thinking about the word 'frail' in my head.

It didn't take long for Shi Bin to laugh slyly, "Brother Xian, do you think that our bodies are not as strong as before since we became civil officials and got into the pile of briefs?" ”

Wang San, who didn't know what it was, replied very affirmatively, "That's true, before standing shirtless in the rain all night will not be uncomfortable, but now if you dare not wear a hat and raincoat, it won't take long for you to catch a cold." ”

"So I think this martial arts arena can also be used as a place for all our Jingnan officials to exercise, and we can also have a little gladiatorial fighting."

As soon as Shi Bin finished speaking, Wang San immediately understood his calculations, but at this time there was no way, he himself had already admitted that he was weak and needed to exercise...

What's more, this matter is beneficial and harmless, although it is a little unhappy to be taken to the ditch, but I can only agree. Since the negotiation was settled, Shi Bin ordered Wang San to do it immediately, and he was allowed to act cheaply, and there was no need to ask for instructions.

With such a lot of power, Wang San didn't bother to care about the trivial matters between them, so he got the official document signed by Shi Bin and turned around and left.
