Chapter 510: Measuring Wu Yue's Material Resources
After being transferred to the Scholar of Mandarin Palace, Li Gu's work suddenly became much easier, and even if he had to be responsible for minting counterfeit coins, it was not so troublesome. The little prince's teaching is very nerve-wracking, but Chai Rong feels that the education of the Great Zhou School is very good, and Brother Guo Xing has learned well, Chai Rong plans to wait for Guo Zongxun to learn basic arithmetic, and after he has a foundation, he will come to accept the indoctrination of the old scholars, so he doesn't need Li Gu to be responsible for anything for the time being.
Li Xianggong, who had been busy for six or seven years, suddenly became idle, but he couldn't accept it. He sat in the duty room, doing nothing, and felt flustered, unable to breathe, as if he was about to suffocate.
This is a life of toil!
Li Gu shook his head, he changed into civilian clothes, and ran to the wrestling scene in the outer city to watch the excitement, which was a relaxation method told to him by an old subordinate.
The so-called wrestling is not wrestling, or wrestling has long been not the most eye-catching sport, people need more exciting things, so there are polo, men in the army, slaves raised by nobles, and even students who are too learned, forming a polo team with different styles.
Every holiday, we compete together.
Polo is highly confrontational, popular, superb polo players, win a game, can get thousands of rewards, three victories, you can buy real estate in Kaifeng.
Of course, the stakes for each game are ten times and a hundred times the prize, and those dignitaries and dignitaries are infatuated and madly obsessed.
It's just that polo games are not so frequent, and large-scale competitions have to be held around the end of the year, and at the moment there are only students and teams from various places to conduct practice matches, which is not much to see.
Li Gu looked at half the court and turned his head to leave.
Then go inside, wrestling to the core of the field, there is a fifteen zhang square circular field in the middle, outside the field, is a layer of seats, similar to the football field of later generations.
On each bamboo stool, well-dressed people sat with round eyes and watched the game in the field.
Today's protagonist is a Murowe warrior who has won five games in a row, and each time he breaks the neck of the opponent, and in his hands, no one can survive.
And this time, he met his opponent, a Jurchen warrior from Liaodong, this guy was wrapped in animal skins, barefoot, and his feet had a thick layer of black calluses, making the soles of his feet as tough and strong as tires.
This guy is accidentally tall, but muscular, and his eyes are as sharp as Hai Dongqing. He chose a spear as his weapon, while the other man held a short knife and shield.
With the sound of drums, the gladiatorial fight began.
The Jurchens sprang through the woods all the year round, like dexterous monkeys, revolving around the Great Han of Murowei, and finally, when he waited for the opportunity, he stabbed out with a shot as fast as lightning.
The audience around couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise.
Click!
The barrel of the gun broke, and it turned out that the Murwei people deliberately sold a flaw to lure the Jurchens to attack, and then used his shield to smash the opponent's weapon.
The Jurchens, who had lost their spears, were cornered.
The people of Murowei swung their short swords again and again, and the other party's body became more and more wounded, and blood flowed out of the ribs, arms, and thighs.
Finally, he cornered the Jurchens, and the excited guys screamed.
He slashed down with his sword, but just as he was about to slash, the Jurchens rolled on the ground in embarrassment and dodged the fatal blow. Mao Zheyao, the big man of the room, exposed most of his body. The Jurchen slashed his hand and grabbed the half-volley of the spear head that collapsed and aimed it at the back of the big man of Mu Wei.
The metal pierced into the spine, blood spurted out like a sword, and the Jurchen's face was covered with blood, and he was like a bloodthirsty ghost at the moment, he actually drank the hot blood, rushed up, knocked down the big man of Muro, and choked his neck with his hand.
Dahan had broken other people's necks five times, and this time, he was also twisted by someone, and his blood-red eyes even flowed out of his sockets......
Li Xianggong, who usually doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, is an eye-opener this time.
The strange thing is that he was not afraid, but just annoyed, and actually bet on the wrong treasure!
It's hateful to lose twenty dollars!
What a five-game winning streak, no fart, and a defeat is not over! It's the same with this Jurchen, don't look at him today, maybe he will become a broken corpse tomorrow!
Coming out of the crazy wrestling scene, someone suddenly caught up with Li Gu, holding a flying money in his hand, and stuffed it to Li Xianggong like a trick.
"What do you mean?"
The other party smiled, "Li Xianggong, you won the bet, you deserve it." β
Li Gu said angrily: "Can't you afford to lose as an old man?" β
"Neither nor not!" This person hurriedly explained, "Li Xianggong, don't hide it, that Murowei person was deliberately defeated, such a game is for the common people to see, Li Xianggong wants to see the real life and death fight, come over at night, and arrange it for Xiangye!" β
Li Gu was puzzled, "Deliberately losing?" Don't even want your life? β
This person laughed, "Xiangye, if he wins, then he can't survive and die!" Xiangye said that this is not the reason! β
Li Gu kept shaking his head, he really gained knowledge.
Compared to these people, minting some counterfeit coins is really nothing!
By the way, just now Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong led the forbidden army to the north, nominally to protect the land and protect the people, but in fact to capture slaves, I don't know how many, to become gladiators, for people to make money for fun......
It's changed, it's really changed!
Li Gu felt that Da Zhou was becoming more and more unfamiliar, on the one hand, the school was expanding, and there were more and more readers, and it seemed that education was flourishing and civilization was prosperous, and on the other hand, there were more and more things that challenged the bottom limit, which in the past only dared to be put under the table, but now they are all on the table, and they are grandiose......
It is especially annoying, Ye Hua actually wants to recruit a pirate leader to be responsible for leading the sailor, what will be the face of Da Zhou at that time?
Li Gu was so angry that he went crazy, watching that Da Zhou, under the leadership of Ye Hua, was becoming more and more degenerate, speaking of which, I am afraid that he is still one of the accomplices!
Zhao Er stook 100,000 yuan and went to Jinghai to contact Ren Tianxing, and the generosity of the imperial court was really unexpected. Li Gu has no way, he can only be responsible for paying for it, and other things have nothing to do with him.
Qian Hongyi came to Kaifeng from Wu Yue, it has been two months younger, and it was the people from the Ministry of Rites who received him at first, and these people from the Ministry of Rites were very polite, but they didn't do anything, they would only prevaricate.
In a hurry, Qian Hongyi went to Xuande Gate to kowtow and beg for help.
But since that time, the person who took care of him has been replaced by an embroidered messenger, and Qian Hongyi was still able to move in the pavilion at first, but now, he can't even go out of the courtyard.
There was a strange-looking embroidered messenger who was not very old, and was in charge of keeping an eye on him.
This person has a wide forehead, a heavy pupil in one eye, and a large front tooth, and only one remains, if it is all there, it may still be a little dignified, but now, it just makes people laugh.
"I know you look down on me." Li Yu hugged the scimitar and sneered: "But what about you, including Wu Yue, you are even more despised, you are a group of cowards!" β
Qian Hongyi was furious, his face turned red, and he argued: "You can't be humiliated if you can kill a soldier!" The kingdom of heaven is a country of etiquette, I came to ask for help, you, you can't treat me like this, the big people above you won't allow you to bully me! β
"Hahaha!"
Li Yu laughed loudly, "A clown who kneels on the ground to ask for help, a poor worm who only knows how to ask others to stretch out their hands when something happens, is it worth wasting other people's thoughts?" β
Qian Hongyi was annoyed and angry, he wanted to fight hard, but he didn't even have a knife.
Li Yu threw the knife in his hand in front of Qian Hongyi, Qian Hongyi subconsciously wanted to grab it, Li Yu flew up and kicked him on the wrist!
"Tell you, my original name was Li Congjia, and I am Li Hongji's younger brother!"
"Ahh Are you from the Southern Dons? Qian Hongyi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's right, I'm from Nantang." Li Yu sneered: "The kingdom is a big country, and I have a big heart, and I can use me as an embroidered messenger." Naturally, I can also help you Wu Yue, but if you don't fight for it, you can't even beat a water coward, so Shangguo decided to recruit pirates to deal with the Southern Tang Dynasty. β
"What?" Qian Hongyi was at a loss and said in panic: "How come? How could the kingdom of God believe in pirates, impossible, impossible! β
Li Yu pursed his lips and sneered, how could there be someone more naΓ―ve than he was at the beginning!
Da Zhoucai is not a good man and a woman, and he will not help other countries for no reason.
"Qian Hongyi, let me remind you, it's best to think about what you can do for Da Zhou, and then ask Da Zhou to send troops, after all, Da Zhou doesn't owe you!"
After saying this, Li Yu turned around to leave, Qian Hongyi was scared, and said eagerly: "I, we can present the treasury!" β
