Chapter 355: Football League

"What you say always makes sense, it's just that there are so many teams in my Datang, and when they finish playing, a year will pass." Li Ke rolled his eyes and replied after hearing this, but this physical activity is indeed good for the body.

Li Ke now takes some time out every day to run a lap, and then plays some tai chi before going to court, and has been insisting on it all these years. Whenever the court meeting is resting, he will also take his prince and princess to do some sports to exercise, and his body feels more and more energetic over the years, not only that, but those officials of the court will also ask to practice Tai Chi.

The time of their ascension to the court has also changed now, and all the official institutions have changed to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a period of food break in between. In fact, not only the official institutions, but also some shops and workshops have now changed to this kind of work and rest time, so that everyone has time to exercise after waking up in the morning.

In addition to this, the original ten-day rest system has now been changed to one day off per week, and various holidays are counted separately. In this way, everyone's work and rest have become regular, and three meals a day have already become popular in all regions of Datang at this time.

"It's normal to play this game for a year, but there are some places where there are very few teams, so you have to plan things like the level, so it will be much easier."

Because there are no teams in some places, and the teams in Chang'an City are particularly concentrated, the teams in Chang'an City are divided according to the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and then divided into four districts in the southeast and northwest of the country to participate in the competition, with four qualifying places in each district, and it is the national championship after playing the district competition.

The competition system is also the same as modern football, and the entire A and B lines have to come out, and the games on both sides are played at the same time, which is a lot more convenient. After the final championship match, Li Ke will award the winning champion team with the Datang Royal Cup championship trophy, as well as a lot of bonuses.

After the team awards, there are individual awards, what is the best scorer, the best goalkeeper, the best striker or something, as long as the performance is good enough, every player has the opportunity to win the award and become famous.

The basketball game is slightly better, and there are only a few basketball teams in almost a large region. Some regions simply don't have it, which leads to Li Hao's feeling that Datang's Ten Paths are not very convenient, and he has to redivide the next area. The system of dividing provinces in later generations can be referred to, but there are no autonomous regions.

As soon as Li Hao's suggestion came out, the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty all deeply agreed, the previous Dao was too big, and it was very inconvenient to manage, and it was divided into more states, so either the scope of the Dao was reduced, or the scope of the state was expanded, and then the number was reduced.

As for the military theater, this will not change. Now that the military and the government have been separated, the military region has the jurisdiction of the military region, which is similar to the previous way, and this is necessary, so it will not be revoked. How to organize these things, this is a matter for the imperial court, and Li Hao doesn't care about these now.

After he handed over this task to the imperial court, what to do, that is, the officials of the imperial court had a headache themselves. And Li Hao takes his wife and children to go in and out of various stadiums every day, watching the games here, and also paying attention to the daily progress of his team.

"Lang Jun, our team will definitely be able to reach the quarterfinals, you can rest assured, there is no problem at all, and there is a great possibility of hitting the national championship." Li Hao, the team of Li Fu, only occasionally goes to spin or kick the ball, and it is Xiao Wu who is interested in this, and this girl is very interested in this kind of competition for the championship.

Over the years, it was because she married Li Hao and had children, and her heart was a lot lighter, and she followed Li Hao everywhere when she had nothing to do. Otherwise, this girl will definitely run away to become an official after Datang begins to hire women as officials, and she is much more interested in this kind of thing.

What really changed was Wu Yue, this girl was already married, married to one of Li Hao's students. Both husband and wife are interested in scientific research, and now they are diving into it. Although both of them have achieved good results and entered the Royal Academy of Sciences, it is still rare to see the two stop.

"Life never stops, and exploration never stops." This is the words of the husband and wife, even their children were left to the Wu family, and then they lived with Li Hao, and the two would only come to see the children during a short break.

This made the Wu clan very dissatisfied, but she had no choice. Who would have thought that the girl who loved to listen to stories by Li Hao's side would become a female scientist when she grew up and started such a serious matter.

"How do you know our team will make it to the quarter-finals?" Li Hao was a little puzzled after hearing this, and other teams usually go to see the situation of the game and know their respective abilities. Li Fu's team has been in the top four in Chang'an, and the quality of the players is good.

"Because the teams in our house are well divided, I went out to find out. After qualifying, the round of 32 has now been played, and it is the group draw. Our team is in the best group, the group is full of underdogs, and there is no problem at all in getting to the quarterfinals early. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Wu said triumphantly, she went to draw this lottery, and she naturally knew the result. Who would have thought that with such good luck, they would draw the worst group in one draw, so that their team could easily enter the quarterfinals, and then start the final four competition.

In fact, even if Xiao Wu said that his team was assigned to the weakest group, every football game was very intense and exciting. The five media outlets of Datang will follow up and report the whole process of each game, and then publish the results, because of the appearance of the telegram, several newspapers have now changed to daily.

This makes this football game a special phenomenon, the more the game is played to the back, the more people watch the game, and even there is a situation where it is difficult to get a ticket. Especially in the final championship game, the tickets have long been sold out, and even the position of standing on the periphery to watch has been preempted.

What makes those wealthy businessmen who form a team can't understand is that they originally spent money on forming such a team just to follow Li Hao for recreation. But after a few games, they suddenly found that their team, which was purely for money, didn't have to throw money into it, and even made a profit.

If the higher the ranking of the game, the more profits will be made, and then they suddenly understand: The God of Wealth is the God of Wealth, and it is purely for fun to make a team and make a lot of money, can this still be compared? At this time, Li Hao's two teams have already taken the lead in reaching the semi-finals, and the profit does not need to be thought about and knows that Li Hao will earn a lot.

And the team that won the championship and runner-up will have a variety of advertising endorsement fees, which is also a lot of money, although endorsement fees are a new word that has emerged in the past two years, but these businessmen are the most receptive to new things. After this game, those wealthy businessmen suddenly increased their investment in their teams, so for a while, those mantra-style transfers in later generations immediately appeared quietly in Datang.

There's no way, they all want their teams to have better results, and they all want to reach the top four in the country, in addition to the huge income, this is still an extremely glorious thing. So they don't go to the good players to improve their team, that's the real fool.

Relatively speaking, the situation of the basketball game is much worse, and the next Datang National Games will be a lot more lively, with a lot more people coming to watch the games, and a lot more people participating in the games. After all, there are many sports in this competition, such as long-distance running, horseback riding and archery, etc., which are all within the range.

The most important thing in Datang is that there are people who know how to ride and shoot, and there are many fencing masters, so these competitions are still very interesting, attracting countless people to come here to watch. After a few events, the population of Chang'an City, where the tournament was held, surged further, and even several satellite cities together seemed a bit crowded. At this time, the railway line from Chang'an to Luoyang was opened!

This is big news! Big news that makes everyone who cares about this line extremely concerned. As long as there is no problem with the operation here, the railway line from Chang'an to the west can also be opened to traffic, and the railway over there has also been repaired, just waiting for the arrival of the train.

"It's a bit loud and noisy, but luckily there aren't many people living next to this railway line, otherwise they would be dissatisfied." On the day the railway line was opened, Li Ke and many high-level executives of Datang all came to attend the operation.

They would also take the train to Luoyang, show off there for the night, and then take the train back the next morning. At full speed, the train is running at 5 to 60 kilometers per hour, which is already very good. There will be many small stops along the way, which are used to refuel the car with coal and water.

"This is not a rickshaw, it is operated by machine power, it is difficult to have no sound." After listening to Li Hao, he explained to Li Ke that it is impossible to have no sound. Even if it is a series of bullet trains in later generations, it only makes the sound in the car relatively small, but it is still very noisy along the way.

"The railway lines in my Datang are all built in urban areas far away from people's lives, and they only pass by the edges, so the impact is not great. However, after a long time, you will get used to this sound, and I am afraid that many people will live along the railway line. ”

What Li Hao said is also true, almost all the train stations in later generations are places where shops are concentrated. These places have a lot of people going up and down every day, and they are the best places to do business. What's a little noise? For ordinary people, this can be completely ignored.

After the group got into the car, there was a special person directing the vehicle to start. Each compartment has glass windows, but because the head of the machine is carried by a steam engine, the dust over there is a bit big, so the windows are closed.
