Chapter 1807: I Want Money
Polo is actually a very modern term, and in Datang, most people will call it 'juju'.
This is a very old competitive sport, which was recorded in the Wei and Cao periods in China, and was even more popular in the Tang Dynasty, and was a common way of communication between nobles.
Li Chengqian even remembered that some historical documents also recorded many examples of how the Tang royal family loved polo.
It's just that as an official game, this is the first time that Li Chengqian has proposed it, and for this reason, he also arranged for Changle to formulate detailed game rules, scoring systems and penalty standards after fouls.
You know, before this game, there were no too detailed rules for polo games, the left and right were just to hit the ball into the opponent's goal, and a group of polo hooligans on the court ran around chasing a small wooden ball the size of a fist, and from time to time they would throw their sticks out to smash people.
Because of this, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were often divided into two circles, and the civil official circle never played polo with the people in the military general's circle, and vice versa.
But this time, after the standards were set, everything was much better, and if someone dropped their cane and hit someone, they would be sent off the field directly, and they would have to be banned for several games.
Moreover, the formulation of the game standard this time is not only the penalty for fouls, but also the time of the game, the scope of the field, the number of people in the game, the length and size of the material of the stick, etc., etc., there are detailed regulations.
……
The book returned to the main story, but it said that it was an early day, and before the attendants in the hall shouted the sentence 'If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat from', the temple was blown up in the main hall.
I saw that the officials of several families stood up together, pointed at Cheng Biting Jin's nose and sprayed directly: "Cheng Zhijie, you, what do you mean, how can you let your daughter end, you must know that although she is your daughter, she is also my concubine of the Tang Dynasty, you, you are insulting to the country!" ”
"What a, Miss Lin is Lao Tzu's daughter, why can't you end up in the village, you old immortals are jealous, you can't win and start playing scoundrels, who do you think you are, and insult the country, you can figure it out." Cheng Lao Devil naturally didn't have a good face for a few civil officials, this old man scumbag has always seen that there was not enough quarrels, and how could he retreat when someone came to the door.
"Nonsense, the old man and others are dedicated to the country, how can they be as shameless as you, if Concubine De is really on the scene, it is one thing to make people laugh, what if she is really injured!"
"It's a joke, you old people can still hurt my daughter? Don't pee and take care of your own virtue, Lao Tzu's daughter let you have one hand and one foot, you can lean to her side, Lao Tzu will kowtow to you. "Cheng Biting Jin seems to be planning to be shameless to the end, no matter what others say, he just doesn't let go, and insists that Cheng Lin should fight on behalf of the Cheng family.
In the end, it was Kong Yingda, the old man, who was shrewd, and stood up tremblingly and said: "Lu Guogong, it is true that Concubine De is your daughter, but she is now a royal person, even if she wants to fight, she will represent the royal family, not the Cheng family!" ”
"Uh......" At this moment, Cheng Lao Pifu was stopped, he was speechless for a long time, looked up at Li Chengqian, and found that someone was napping with his head in his hand, looking like he had hung up high without caring about it.
"Yes, Lu Guogong's move is indeed inconsiderate!"
"That is, the daughters are already married, and they are already members of the husband's family, how can they still fight for their mother's family!"
A group of old goods saw that Cheng Fairy stopped talking, and they rose up one after another and fell into the well.
Li Chengqian waited for a long time and didn't see Cheng Lao fight back, knowing that the excitement couldn't stand it, he straightened up and knocked on the table and said, "Okay, let's stop, let's get down to business!" ”
"Yes!" A few old guys who took advantage stepped aside with smug smiles, while Lao Cheng stared at the old guys with bad intentions, and he didn't know if he was going to smash the glass in the middle of the night.
"In this way, what about polo, let's not talk about it for now, this is a trivial matter." Li Chengqian waited until the old guys were all in place, and then continued: "What we want to discuss today is bicycles, who can tell me what is the annual bicycle production of Datang now?" ”
"There are about more than 10,000 vehicles, and the annual output of the Ministry of Industry is 5,000 vehicles, and the output of other private enterprises outside is lower, but there are about 6 to 7,000 vehicles in various places a year." Tobe Shirou roughly calculated, and then replied.
Li Chengqian was silent for a while, thinking that he was counting something, and then said: "Then don't sell the bicycles from the Ministry of Industry during this time, keep them for me!" ”
"Keep?" Tobe Shirou was stunned for a moment, what can you do with that thing?
"Yes, stay, those aliens are coming, and I have to give them some gifts." Li Chengqian nodded and said.
Take a bike and give it away? Shouldn't silk and porcelain be sent? The silence in the main hall was terrifying, and no one knew what kind of medicine His Majesty the Emperor was selling in the gourd.
In the end, it was Li Jingxuan, a waiter from the Criminal Department, who stood up: "Your Majesty, is this bicycle a little low?" ”
"Low is low, you are all high, you don't want to get a copper smell, then only I will go out in person!" Li Chengqian said sarcastically.
The people below didn't know what Li Chengqian was crazy again, but they still habitually bowed together: "The ministers are guilty!" ”
"Guilty? Do you know guilt too? Li Chengqian slapped the table, stood up and paced a few steps, and then said in a deep voice: "Look at you one by one, what ball games and ball games are discussed every day, do you still want to do something serious?" I brought those aliens to participate in polo matches, and you think I really care about winning or losing! ”
"Huh?!" A group of old men below, half-grown old men were all dizzy, not caring about winning or losing? So what are you looking for those aliens for? If you lose, how embarrassing it will be! What a shame!
Li Chengqian looked at the stunned group of subordinates, and sighed helplessly: "When can you let me save snacks, you can't use your brains, think about what we have in the Tang Dynasty that those foreign races don't have, and give away silk to people, send a fart, and I still keep it for sale for money." ”
"I told you, after I go back today, I will immediately draw up a price list for me, silk, porcelain, bicycles, bulldozers, tractors, ......everything, even if it is a nail, will triple the price of export to Lao Tzu, understand?"
"Your Majesty, you, what are you ......" Fang Xuanling vaguely figured out what Li Chengqian wanted to do.
"Money! All I need is money! Reputation doesn't matter whatever, I don't care if the game wins or loses, but if those aliens who come this time don't leave an order of 50,000 yuan, all officials, from top to bottom, will be collectively fined for one year! If it exceeds 50,000 yuan, it will be doubled! ”()
