Chapter 36: Football
Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country! Chai Shixiang lowered his head and muttered a few words: "Okay, Brother Xian's words are thought-provoking, I heard that Brother Xian has discovered gold mines in the south, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
In the conversation just now, several Yanai were interested in Fan Fan, and they were all full of excitement when they heard about the gold mine. Prick up your ears and listen carefully to what Gan Tang has to say.
Gan Tang said: "But there is such a thing, in fact, you don't have to be jealous, this gold mine is cost-free, everyone here has a share, I just entered the palace, I just reported this matter to the emperor's grandfather." With the approval of the emperor's grandfather, all the families and individuals who participated in the disaster relief last year have a share, and I will take out half of the shares of this mine to distribute to everyone, and the size of each share will be distributed in full accordance with the size of everyone's contribution last year, and there will be no harvest without paying.
As for the accounting of the size of everyone's shares, I entrust it to Prime Minister Wang Mingzhi with power. It is estimated that the money and food you spent last year will be able to recover within two months. As for what I just said to my brothers in Kemariba, I'll wait until I go back and make a submission, and I'll discuss it with everyone in a few days. Don't get involved in this matter, don't get involved in this matter, it's not good for your reputation. ”
Chai Shixiang smiled and nodded.
In fact, Gan Tangdao didn't care about the reputation of Zhao Shixiang, the son of King Chong'an, but didn't want to leave the three parties in the court suspicious.
At this time, when Zhong Yanei heard that he finally talked about topics related to himself, Huyan Qingyu couldn't bear his temperament at first, stretched out a fat face, and asked Gan Tang: "Brother Gan, what is this fresh juju?" It's Bo, and my heart is itching. Jiankang City has seen a lot, and the two mothers are just like that, and we don't know what this juju football looks like, is it a lion and tiger fighting? Or fight a giant bear? If it's so fun, I must take a look, if I can win the interest of everyone in Jiankang City, I'll take thousands of cans and set up a lottery, so that the money will be happy. ”
The remarks drew laughter from everyone.
Gan Tang said with a smile: "It's not early today, cut here to drink tea, and when everyone brings their own Keju team tomorrow, let's gather at the South Campus, all of us here are counted as a total of six, and then the four teams of Tai students are combined into one, and the two teams of Xiaohuangmen in the palace are also merged to make eight."
According to my new rules, when I first set up a championship, I first took out 100 taels of gold as the lottery head, and there were 50 taels of the championship, and the second and third places also had 30 taels and 20 taels. ”
Everyone gasped when they heard this, and thought in private, the Gan family really made a fortune, and a small game took out such a big prize. The output of the gold mine must be amazing, and I will have to walk around with this master more in the future.
The Xia Dynasty was quite developed in terms of industry, agriculture and commerce, and its affluence was compared with the modern per capita income, comparable to the per capita income of the United States in the sixties, and compared with the income of officials, the purchasing power of all the income of Bao Zhengzhi Beiping Mansion (equivalent to the current mayor of Beijing) in a year was equivalent to eight million US dollars.
There are many corrupt officials in the Xia Dynasty, but corrupt officials are rare, which can be regarded as high salaries and honesty. Materials are abundant, but the mining industry is quite backward. Therefore, the whole society is quite short of money, not only the copper used to make money is quite scarce, but also the gold and silver on the market are even rarer.
Even most of the officials' money was replaced by physical goods, and private transactions were bartered, and the first appearance of paper money (jiaozi) in history was in Xia.
Gold is not used as a currency in circulation, and it is generally reserved by the rich and wealthy as a store to resist family disasters.
The next morning, the people in the government each led a group of people to the south school field, at this time the school field was already surrounded by a sea of people, the palace resting class straight, the eunuchs who had nothing to do, the students of the Tai Academy, heard that Gantang was going to hold a new Keju competition, most of them came to the scene to watch, the number of people around is estimated to be four or five thousand people, one by one looking at the white lines drawn on the south school field with round and square white lines and the goals at both ends are discussed.
When Gantang gathered everyone to talk about the rules of football, he heard a man in brocade leading a group of people to the front, and suddenly burst into laughter, and the leader laughed even more exaggeratedly, as if he could break the roof.

"Fuck--- it's so cold, there aren't many dead people on the street, I'm so bored, when will ---- me! ---Exercise! --- Gantang! Hahahaha, Gantang! ”
The voice was extremely arrogant, as soon as he heard it, he knew who it was, Gan Tang looked up, and sure enough, he was wrapped like a panda, describing the obscene Fu Wang Shizi mentally retarded Chai Qi, he looked at Gan Tang, his expression changed several times, and then his hands were on his waist.
"You didn't even tell me the fucking ball! Hahaha! Gantang! ----- your good days are just a few days away! Fuck me! I'm going to ask my Keju team to kill your Keju team-------------, ahh
Chai Qi was born to Princess Fu to marry the girl, Princess Fu Wang is a famous tigress, the dowry girl found that she had a secret knot, worried that the mother would harm her, so she secretly drank the abortion pill, how do you know that Chai Qi Fu has a big life, he didn't die, and he was born safely, as a result! There will be no result, and Chai Qi will become what he is now. Seventeen or eighteen people have an IQ of only seven or eight years old.
And although Gan Tang is only eleven years old, his current IQ is incomparable to that of an adult, how does Gan Tang feel that he can't catch up with the general knowledge of a child.
"Is your Kemari strong? Wait and so on, pull it out and try it. ”
That Chai Qi shouted loudly: "Flower dog, play a few hands and take a look at these turtles, hahahahaha." ”
Amid the laughter, a man in a flower robe came out in a hurry. They accompany this uncle every day, and all these musical instruments are brought with them.
Deng Shi took out a magnificent brocade ribbon show, decorated with an unusually gorgeous leather ball. Use all kinds of tricks to start the show. Sure enough, it is a master of this way, all kinds of footwork emerge in one after another, the ball sticks to the body like glue, and falls up and down, and people who look at it are dazzled. Ten thousand kicks on the feet, thousands of solutions. The last cloud crutch jumped high, picked up the ball in the air, and landed on his head upright, not moving. With a smug smile on his face, the man made a big salute to Gan Tang with the ball.
The people around couldn't help but cheer loudly, Chai Qi looked proud, and shouted in his mouth: "My Lang's skill here is Lin'an, he said second, no one dares to say first, I am here to smash the field today, what can you do to me!" Hahaha"
Gan Tang smiled: "You are full of flowers, but we are not as good, but you are a mother's way of playing." But our game today is that you can only play if you have that talk in your waist, but I'm afraid you can't afford it. ”
"Hahahaha---- good! Just according to your play, whoever loses, will cut the little JJ! Haha--- you're scared! However, if I lose, I will pay the bill, what can you do to me! Haha--"
Gan Tang said: "Okay, then wait for me to arrange the arrangements first." ”
Called the head of the Xiaohuangmen and Tai students, temporarily let the Tai students change the original four-in-one to four-in-two, and the Xiaohuangmen two-in-one was separated according to the original team, and let the Xie family present temporarily join, and the twelve teams were divided into three groups for the game. Each team scattered a few copies of the rules of the game, first familiarize themselves with one day, tomorrow is the game.
Gan Tang came up with a series of football rules and methods based on modern football, because the rubber tree is still in the South American continent, and now it cannot be made into an inflatable football, and there is not enough elasticity, so the number of players on both sides has been changed from 11 to 8, and the size of the field has been changed to the size between the outdoor and indoor football fields.
After a few days of competition, the new Kemari tournament attracted more and more spectators, and the Imperial Guards had to send a large number of troops to maintain order on the spot.
On this day, it was an eight-in-four game, which happened to be Fuwangfu against Chong'an Wangfu according to the rules, and Chong'an Wangfu led 3-1 in the first half.
After the start of the second half, Chai Qi lost in a hurry, rushed into the field, held the ball with both hands, and ran towards the opponent's goal. The on-site referee blew the whistle and took out a red card to chase Chai Qi, Chai Qi was chased in a panic, hit his head on the goal post, and his nose was broken when he landed, bleeding.
Chai Qi's head was dizzy, and he couldn't figure out what was in front of him, and after a while, he came to his senses, and suddenly shouted in his mouth: "Ahh
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
--Blood! There's an assassin, come and protect me, I'm going back and tell my dad ----" He scrambled his head between the player and the referee, and with a thud, he slammed into another post, fainting. That's when it stopped.
This kind of game first arose around the south campus of the palace, and I have to say that this kind of game is full of violent aesthetics, full of suspense of victory and defeat, and exciting games are very in line with human aesthetics. You must know that since the summer, the most popular game among the public is two bare-bottomed men or women hugging each other, and each three- or four-minute sumo wrestling can feed hundreds of large and small fluttering clubs in the city, with tens of thousands of employees. Millions of jackpots flow during this period each year.
Compared with football, it is too intense, too complete, too dramatic, too spectacle, too hot, too suspense.
The social and economic development of Nanxia has reached the top of feudal society, people live a rich life, and its prosperity has already had the shadow of later generations, but the development of entertainment activities, compared with the blooming of a hundred flowers in later generations, there is still a considerable distance, according to the current statement, that is, material civilization and spiritual civilization are extremely asymmetrical.
Even in the modern entertainment activities, the group that loves football still occupies the first place in the entire entertainment activities, and how can it not make the people of Jiankang crazy. This game first spread widely among the students, and quickly spread to the four sides of Jiankang.
Gantang not only converted the Royal Arena into a special football field, but also built a football field in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Jiankang City, and applied cement to the building for the first time, and each football field was surrounded by tall stands, which can accommodate seven or eight thousand people. Some shops were built around the football stadium to sell some related items. He also adopted the advice of Huyan Qingyu and temporarily set up lottery points next to the gate of the stadium and several bustling streets in Jiankang to sell football lottery tickets.
After half a year of warm-up, football quickly became popular in Jiankang.
The four golf courses on all sides of Jiankang have been officially put into operation. The first football tournament in Daxia came into being, Gan Tang used three hundred taels of gold to create the championship trophy, and the gold, silver and bronze medals made by skilled craftsmen were displayed in the prosperous place of Jiankang for three days, and then opened for registration, and the registration ended, and there were more than 300 teams that signed up for the competition.
Gan Tang divided Lin'an into four major regions, southeast and northwest, first conducted a play-in round, each district advanced to eight teams, and finally 32 teams, in full accordance with the model of the later football World Cup, and finally decided the champion.
Seeing such a grand occasion, the silver entered the account like flowing water, and quickly formed an event management organization, those Yanai had already been kicked out by the elders of the family, and the special shops around the stadium sold the flags, uniforms, and so on, plus the income from tickets and lottery tickets, reached more than 20 million. Such a high income is equivalent to half of the annual income of the household department of the imperial court. Even the government hall and Emperor Rijong were alarmed.
Since the inventor and the capital are all made by Gan Tang alone, the four major mansions of the political affairs hall, and the major wealthy families have come to visit the eleven-year-old prince, all of them want to persuade Gan Tang to get some benefits for the court or his own family.
Emperor Lizong and Empress Xie, who had not received foreign ministers for half a year, summoned Gan Tang into the palace for three consecutive days to deal with it, and the entire Daxia officialdom looked sideways.
After Gantang's multi-party coordination, excluding the cost and part of the expansion funds, the remaining 20 million yuan, two percent into the royal treasury, forty percent into the household in the name of paying taxes, and the remaining forty percent is still owned by the eight Great Xia generals, each family gets half of it. Other royal families, relatives, wealthy families, and major families Gan Tang promised to send them a fortune at the right time, which calmed down the snooping of the ball market from all sides.
In the 4320th year of the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire, on September 9 of the 11th year of Suzong of Southern Xia, Emperor Suzong of Southern Xia, who had not been in charge of the government for more than a year, held a great court meeting with 100 long-lived old men in the main hall on this day of the Double Ninth Festival. Officials above the fifth grade of Jiankang, major nobles, and close relatives of the royal family all attended the meeting, which was also the last time that Emperor Xia held a great court meeting as the emperor of Great Xia.
