Chapter 220: Kong Meng VS Iron Man

Wang Mingjun said with emotion: "I have seen the armies of many countries, such as the Jinghu area, the armies of the Tang State, the Wu Yue Kingdom, and even the army of the Great Song Dynasty compared to your guards, it is not good!" The soldiers in the army looked either cowering farmers or some murderous bandits. Not at all as good as your guards. ”

Zhao Zizhong said humbly: "Our road has just begun, most of these guards were homeless people before, and they have only been trained for a few months. So we can't be complacent, and we must continue to train them rigorously. These people lack practical experience, and they still lack a lot. ”

Wang Mingjun and Cao Deshun glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts that what Zhao Zizhong said was completely true. They are all people with lofty goals, they will not be rich and secure, and they will definitely become the overlord of one side in the future. Befriending their emerging forces will definitely be of great benefit to their own family.

Cao Deshun asked again: "Mr. Zhao, how are the dogs and his classmates doing?" Did it cause you any trouble? ”

Zhao Zizhong smiled and said: "Your son-in-law has an easy-going personality and gets along well with everyone, and we all like him and those scholars very much." He's already decided to stay here. In addition, he decided to set up a academy on Qishan Island, and then gathered some classmates and scholars from poor families to come over, and everyone studied knowledge together and discussed the truth of the world together. Ling Gongzi is a talent with great ambitions! We all hope that he and those scholars will stay. ”

Cao Deshun was very pleased, he stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "It's rare that he has such an idea, I will give it my full support, ask for money for money, and ask people to give people." Build a academy as soon as possible, so that some poor scholars can study knowledge, and accumulate some merits for our Cao family. ”

Wang Mingjun also said: "Brother Cao, can you count me as a share?" I also support some money, let's set up a college together? This is a good thing with immeasurable merit! Don't say no to me, brother! ”

"No problem, no problem. For such a good thing, the more brothers involved, the better. I guess Brother Liang will definitely get involved. Hahaha! ”

Cui Daoshu said: "Two brothers, Liang Daguan is not involved in this matter, you have a mistake. ”

Cao Deshun was surprised, "That's not right! With Brother Liang Xian's temper, he will definitely participate. Is it so difficult for him to hide? ”

Cui Daoshu explained: "Liang Daguan didn't want to compete with his eldest nephew for the limelight, so he decided to bear all the expenses of the school on the island, and all the children's expenses in the future will be covered by Liang Daguan himself." ”

Wang Mingjun hurriedly said: "I'm going to join in, Brother Liang can't eat alone!" ”

Cao Deshun also said: "Count me in, and my Cao family should also do something to the children." ”

Zhao Zizhong bowed to Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun very solemnly, and then said: "Thank you two gentlemen for your generosity and help the children, Zhao Mou is here to thank you." ”

The two hurriedly returned the salute, saying that it was all a small matter and not worth mentioning.

At this time, several merchant ships approached the trestle, and under the organization of the stewards and servants of the Cao family and the Wang family, the displaced people began to disembark in turn.

Zhai Xiaoshan, with some guards, stepped forward to maintain order, let the displaced people line up, walked to the beach, and sat down in an orderly manner.

Zhao Zizhong carefully observed these people, most of them were young and strong men and women, and there were only a small number of old people and children. The clothes worn by the homeless people were not very good, but they were all clean and did not smell. And these people seem to be in good spirits, unlike hungry people who have been hungry for a long time, they should be taken care of well.

More than an hour later, there were more and more homeless people on the beach, and Zhai Xiaoshan and the guards were nervously busy, trying to maintain order. A few of the homeless thorns tried to make trouble, but were leveled out by the guards with sticks and fists and kicks, and then thrown into the sea.

There were about a dozen of them, all of whom were soaked in the sea, watched by armed guards who were not allowed to go ashore.

At this time, Hu Shuiyang hurried in with some workers, and also brought a lot of horse-drawn carts, loaded with tools and various building materials.

Zhao Zizhong explained to Hu Shuiyang and Zhai Xiaoshan: "You immediately organize these homeless people to build shacks, and if someone is not honest, they will be beaten hard, and you must not be soft." If anyone does not work hard, they are tied up and starved for a day. You must deter them, otherwise it will be difficult to manage them in the future. ”

The two agreed to come down and go to carry it out.

When Zhao Zi saw that he was in order, he found a carriage and asked Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun to board the carriage and go to the camp to rest.

The two of them gave in for a while, then got into the carriage, Zhao Zizhong and Cui Daoshu also boarded the carriage, and after the four of them were seated, the coachman waved his whip and drove the horses forward.

The carriage drove slowly, and the four of them chatted casually while watching the beautiful scenery of the island.

Half an hour later, the carriage came to the vicinity of the eastern pier of Qishan Island. It's crowded and very lively.

Many homeless people had gathered on the beach, and Fan Jinchun and Zhang Hong were leading the guards to maintain order. Cui Zhaorong also led some women and workers to build more than 20 simple pots and stoves to cook porridge for the displaced people.

Zhao Zizhong talked with them for a while, and found that they were all familiar with the resettlement of displaced people, and there was no need to be in a hurry.

So the carriage continued its journey into the valley and soon returned to the camp. Far away, the four of them heard a loud noise, a loud sound that was deafening.

As the carriage approached, several men saw a large crowd gathered in the open space outside the camp, all around a football field, from which came the beating of gongs and drums, the sharp whistle, and the loud sounds of cheers and exclamations from time to time.

Cao Deshun asked curiously, "Brother Cui Xian, what's going on?" What is everyone watching? ”

"Brother Cao, they're all watching football games."

"Football?"

"It's a sport that's similar to Kemari."

Wang Mingjun and Cao Deshun were very curious and said that they wanted to go in and have a look.

The four of them got out of the carriage, and Zhao Zizhong led them outside the venue, and then communicated with the onlookers and asked them to squeeze out a road.

Everyone dodged one after another, giving way to a human slit.

Zhao Zizhong took Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun to squeeze in and came to the side of the venue.

Cao Deshun took a closer look and found that Liang Daguan was standing in the center of the field with a copper whistle in his mouth. A group of lads on the pitch are competing for a leather ball, with four people on each side, one wearing a blue shortshirt and the other wearing a yellow outfit.

He found his son and several of his classmates dressed in yellow. They were dressed in an odd style, with short sleeves that only reached the upper arms. And there is no collar, exposing the neck. He wears knee-length shorts and whale leather football boots on his feet. There are two big characters on the chest of the jersey, which Cao Deshun carefully identifies as the words 'Confucius and Meng'.

He wondered in his heart, what was his son's intention in writing 'Kong Meng' on his clothes? Is it difficult for him to defend the Confucian Taoism? This is something that has nothing to do with Keju!

The game on the field was very intense, and from time to time there were situations where people were on their backs. Liang Daguan tried his best to maintain the order of the game, control the anger of both sides, and let the game go on normally.

Cui Daoshu introduced to Cao Deshun: "Brother Cao, Ling Lang and his classmates organized a football team. The name of this team is 'Kong Meng'. They practice almost every day and often play against other teams on the island. ”

Cao Deshun suddenly realized, it turned out that the name this kid gave to the team was 'Kong Meng'! It's really nonsense, look at how Lao Tzu teaches him at night!

Cui Daoshu continued: "Their opponent today is the team of Second Brother Wei's ironmaking workshop, and their name is 'Iron Man'. ”

Cao Deshun observed carefully, and the words 'Iron Man' were indeed written on the chest of the player in blue.

Wang Mingjun asked: "Brother Cui Xian, what is the allusion to 'Iron Man'?" You tell my brother about it. ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "'Iron Man' is a hero of a Western country, he is infinitely powerful, wearing heavy armor, he has never had an opponent on the battlefield, and he is a military general like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. The second brother admired him very much, so he named his team 'Iron Man'. ”

Both of them laughed, it turned out that Wei Hongye, who looked very stable, also had a childlike side!

At this time, Zhao Zizhong pointed to the opposite side and said, "Look there!" ”

The three of them looked across and saw Wei Hongye and Cui Ying'er standing together, shouting hoarsely to cheer for their team. Around them, a group of children surrounded them, beating gongs and drums, and some children held slogans, banners and flags, and kept shouting slogans: "Iron Man, come on!" Iron Man, come on! ”

Next to them, Hu Yidao and a group of children in yellow jerseys were bidding farewell to the cheerleaders of 'Iron Man'.

Hu Yidao led the way with a loudspeaker, and the cheerleaders with 'Kong Meng' shouted desperately, trying to suppress the limelight of 'Iron Man'.

Cao Deshun said with a smile: "This competition is very interesting! No wonder it attracts so many people to watch. ”

Wang Mingjun said: "Brother Cao, if you bring these things to Jinling City, it is estimated that you will make a lot of money." ”

Cao Deshun nodded and said: "Yes, people in Jinling City like novelty things, and a cockfight can make people crazy betting." If we build a magnificent venue, it will definitely accommodate many people. How can you pretend to be thousands of people, even if you sell tea and food, you can make a lot of money. Not to mention the income from the flutter! ”

Zhao Zizhong asked: "Old Seven, what does 'Guan Pu' mean?" ”

Cui Daoshu explained: "'Guan Pu', also known as selling goods, is a popular business practice in the well market to buy and sell goods through gambling, which contains a strong entertainment game color. ”
