The cannon was invented by Su Ren. Before Su Ren, on the days of festivals and festivals, the only thing that made a noise was bamboo. When the emerald green bamboo is baked in a fire, it will make a crackling explosion over time, and this is the most common place where bamboo is abundant. Su Ren's cannon used gunpowder, and the gunpowder was rolled up with silk silk, and after it was ignited, the sound was like a huge thunder, and only one sound made the crowded Zheling Sports Stadium panic.

Hawking held the fire fold in one hand and laughed as he watched the panicked crowd. Today is the opening day of the Games, and the entire county roads and barracks have sent people to participate. The people nearby and those who were idle and sore crowded to Zheling. The most savvy Shu County vendors had already occupied the best place around the arena three days ago, and there was a wide variety of goods, more like a bazaar.

Three horn cannons, attracting everyone. For this sports meeting, Su Ren and Gongsun He Mao worked hard, and almost all of them did what Su Ren wanted. A piece of land of 10 acres was leveled out of the mountain, and a viewing platform was built with bamboo and wood. Five hundred soldiers were drawn from the county to maintain order, and all those who entered Zheling were strictly checked.

When Su Ren was about to sell tickets to watch the games, Gongsun He's eyes almost fell. With an expression that was difficult to swallow, he looked at Su Ren: "This can also be sold for money?" ”

Su Ren glanced at Gongsun He with disdain: "Why can't you sell it, there are so many places in it, who knows how many people will come when the time comes, just give money if you want to, it's fair and reasonable." ”

"But, if you sell it for money, will anyone still want to watch it?"

"We can't all the money we spend these days, right?" Su Ren waved his hand to Gongsun He. Gongsun He hurriedly leaned his ear over, and Su Ren lowered his voice and said: "Not only can this be sold for money, but you can also gamble, guess who can achieve what ranking in what project, how about it?" Do you want to join a share? ”

Gongsun He was completely stunned by Su Ren. I thought that the so-called sports meeting was just to give the auditors something to do in the rainy season, but I didn't expect Su Ren to be able to get money from it. No matter how much it is, it is beyond Gongsun He's understanding to get the money back.

Seeing Gongsun He's dazed look, Su Ren said again: "Not only these, did you see the signboard of Liu Ji's grain and rice store on the gate of the sports field, it was bought by Shopkeeper Liu for five hundred yuan." ”

"Ahh

Gongsun He was completely crazy, and when he looked at the signboard again, he really didn't understand which tendon of Liu Ji Grain and Rice Store was wrong, and he spent 500 yuan just to hang the signboard at the door of the venue.

The person who specially checked the ticket at the gate of the stadium carefully checked the bamboo card in each person's hand, and each sign had a number on it, and someone led you to the corresponding position when you entered it. Gongsun He doesn't need these, he is a person with status, so he naturally wants to go to a place with status. followed Su Ren into the small door on the east side, and happened to see Yan Zhu waiting in front accompanied by several people.

Yan Zhu arrived yesterday and was so positive about this matter that it exceeded Gongsun He's expectations. As soon as he saw Su Ren, he smiled all over his face: "I didn't expect there to be such a big scene, the old man has been in Huiji for so many years, and he has never seen such a lively scene, even in Huiji, the New Year's Festival is colder than here, and when he went out this morning, it scared the old man." ”

Su Ren Shilibi: "If Taishou thinks it is good, it can be held once a year, so that the people of Huiji can also be lively during the agricultural slack." ”

Yan Zhu nodded, turned his head and said to Hu Cao beside him: "Did you hear that, Ziheng said so, once a year!" ”

Enter through a small door and make your way through a long passageway. In fact, it was under the buttocks of the people in the stands, and when you looked up, you could see a pair of feet. The competition outside has not yet started, and the pre-rehearsed show has already made the scene boiling. What goes up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, what juggling, skills. It usually seems unremarkable, but at this time, it is refreshing.

Gongsun He leaned over to Su Ren's side and asked in a low voice: "Taishou seems to be very interested, and he is willing to walk under the feet of others, you really have a way." ”

Su Ren sneered: "I spent a thousand dollars, didn't he deign to spend my money in vain?" ”

It's really bad to have no amplification device, the scene is huge, the voices are noisy, and the speech basically relies on roaring. In this kind of scene, it's not okay to make everyone hear without a loud voice. When Xiao Zuo rectified the Yue people last time, his strange voice made Su Ren remember it vividly, and this time it came in handy.

Xiao Zuo rode a horse and swaggered in from the main entrance. Dressed in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a fiery red cloak behind him, he was particularly eye-catching in the venue of Nuoda.

As the performers exited, Xiao Zuo took a deep breath and shouted: "......, ...... quietly!" This sound is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and after the refraction and expansion of the surrounding mountains, there is a deafening feeling. The originally lively scene quickly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were all looking at Xiao Zuo. Xiao Zuo's ears were also very good, and there was still a sound somewhere, and he immediately projected an arrow-like gaze, and the place was silent in an instant.

Su Ren got up and said to Yan Zhu with a smile: "Taishou, please!" ”

Speaking in such a place is purely to find guilt for yourself, so Su Ren gave up this glorious and arduous task to Yan Zhu. Looking at Yan Zhu's tired face and thick neck, Gongsun He Chong Su Ren stretched out his thumb, and the two of them smiled heartily.

After Yan Zhu finished speaking, the game officially began. The entrance ceremony was particularly interesting, with people from different parts of the meeting, according to their region, one team following the other. No one knows why Su Ren put Damo County first and Zhang'an County last. In the face of the long history of the representative government, no one argued, and all of them accepted it obediently.

There were no flags, just signs with the name of their county, or the name of the army or the refugee camp. One team after another, each team Xiao Zuo shouted out loudly. Those teams from their hometowns always elicit cheers from their own people. Before the game even started, the entire stadium was set on fire.

After everyone has appeared, the game has officially begun. Huge wooden signs are erected at the top of the playing field, and a dozen young men who are good at climbing stand underneath, and at the end of a competition, the names of the winners and the names of the places represented will soon appear on the wooden signs. The writing is so large that you can see it no matter how far away you are. At the same time, Xiao Zuo will also read it out loud, causing the villagers to cheer again.

The first race was a 100-step run, a drum sounded, a dozen people lined up neatly on the starting line scrambled to take the lead, and the crowd in the stands shouted loudly to cheer for those they knew or didn't know. Some people even made up a few sentences of improvised encouragement, attracting everyone to shout together, which was completely beyond Su Ren's expectations, it seems that the master is always in the people, and the power of the masses cannot be ignored.

A young man from Shangyu won first place, a man from Huiji City won second, and a representative from Dongzhi won third. In the cheers of everyone, Su Ren invited Yan Zhu to present awards to the three young men. The prizes are not expensive, that is, the necessities worth about ten dollars, pots and pans, grain, salt. When Yan Suke handed these things to the three of them, the three young men cried like tearful people.

These civilians at the bottom rarely have a chance to meet, even if they are county magistrates. This time, not only did Taishou personally reward himself, but he also said a few words to himself, and even asked his name and surname. Such an honor is worth showing off until death.

Compared with the physical objects that Yan Zhu gave to the three of them, the things that Su Ren sent only had representative significance. The crown of bamboo, rattan and hemp is filled with flowers picked from the field, representing tenacity, industriousness and simplicity. These three words were said by Su Ren, and no one thought that bamboo, rattan and hemp had such qualities before.

The whole stadium was boiling, and those who paid to come in to watch felt that their money was not in vain, at least they saw a scene that they had never seen before. The people who participated in the movement also received souvenirs, although a little less of it was an honor. All the officials who came to watch the ceremony appeared on the stage, so that everyone showed their faces in front of the people. In short, it was a successful sports meeting, everyone got happiness from the middle, and Su Ren also got money.

At night, Gongsun He Shou stayed in Su Ren's room, he wanted to see how much money Su Ren earned that day. When the account room took the account book and reported the numbers, Gongsun He was a little dizzy.

"In addition to expenses, you actually earned eight hundred and twenty-five dollars?"

Su Ren shook his head: "It's a loss, it's a big loss, I only earned so much after such a big battle." ”

Gongsun He's jaw couldn't be retracted: "It's only the first day, it's expected to take three days, and the merchants outside those venues can collect five hundred yuan in taxes every day, and it's one thousand and five hundred yuan in three days, not counting anything else, to be honest, how much money can you earn by doing this one?" ”

Seeing that Su Ren didn't speak, the account room said with a smile: "According to the villain's estimate, the income in the next two days can basically be counted as a surplus, about three thousand yuan." ”

"No, I want my share!" Gongsun He scratched his ears and cheeks.

Su Ren said disdainfully: "Look at your little interest, you are also the son of Chang'an City, and you can see it for three thousand dollars?" ”

"Then you can't make money, we only contribute and there is no benefit, just give a hundred dollars, what's the matter?"

Li Danghu was the chief magistrate of the Games, and after listening to the two money fans arguing over a few hundred dollars, he shook his head and sighed and prepared to get up and leave. Gongsun He grabbed him: "Brother Li, you can't go, you also work, he Su Ziheng can't be used in vain, right?" ”

Li Danghu frowned: "Yuedi is still fighting, Huiji is almost facing war, Brother Wei Qing is leading people to guard the border, but you are arguing here for money, there are like court officials, how to share the worries for Your Majesty?" Don't you feel ashamed? ”

Gongsun He smiled: "This is all made up by Su Ziheng, let's just do what we are told, who makes the family a long history!" ”

Su Ren glared at him: "You kid is the grass on the wall, just now you have to share the money, sell me now, okay, when I go back to Chang'an to make it bigger, I won't give you a single money!" ”

Li Danghu was stunned: "Do you still want to go to Chang'an?" ”

"Of course, such a good way to make money can only be in this remote county? I'm going to have a National Games, and when the time comes, please ask Your Majesty to preside over it, how much money do you say? At least the tickets can't be so small for two dollars, at least a hundred dollars to start! ”
