Chapter 33: The Way of Wealth

Seeing Concubine Wei Xian disappear behind the railing, Wu Kaiwu was a little inexplicable, this confusion, he became Song Gaozong's benefactor?

Fortunately, this is not a bad thing, he is half-circled, and he is not entangled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But he said that he waited in that room for about half an hour, and Wu Kai waited for Song Huizong's summons, but this time, the handsome old man Zhao obviously didn't have much interest in talking, chatted a few words randomly, and suddenly sighed: "I once heard the saying in the market, 'A penny is difficult to defeat a hero', and now I know that it is a wise saying." ”

Heroes?

You deserve to mention these three words too?!

Wu Kai sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be very concerned on his face: "Why did Your Majesty say this? ”

Song Huizong sighed, poured a stomach of bitter water on Wu Kai, left and right is just the court is difficult, and to quell the rebellion and disaster relief, the forbidden army in Beijing wants to reward, the western army, and the border army are waiting to be fed, so even the officials at the gates of the yamen in Beijing have asked the court to increase welfare.

Speaking of this large circle of expenses, he didn't mention the hot spring palace that he recently spent a lot of money to build in order to celebrate his birthday.

However, he complained casually, he really found the right person, Wu Kai may not be able to handle the things on the side, but there are ways to make money, especially with the backing of the imperial court, and if you want to loot some floating wealth, it is not a matter of minutes?

When he said: "Your Majesty, the poor monks heard that some monasteries have gathered believers to make a living in order to make a living, so they have called on believers to bet on ......"

In the name of the monastery, he told the general way of the lottery lottery in later generations.

Who knew that Song Huizong frowned more and more tightly the more he listened, and just waited for Wu Kai to finish speaking, then shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, although this method is feasible, but I am afraid that it will encourage the people's gambling style, which is not conducive to the livelihood of the people, and will cause criticism from the government and the opposition." ”

Tut~

This is really a crime to die and save face, and the country will die in five or six years at most, what kind of reputation do you want for your mother?

Of course, Wu Kai didn't dare to say this, so he just spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you often go out of the palace to visit the people, do you still need to be encouraged by others for the gambling style of the officials and people in Bianliang City?" ”

Although gambling is clearly prohibited, but in fact, the gambling nature of the people of the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be unprecedented in the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties, and the contemporary talented woman Li Qingzhao once mentioned more than 20 ways of gambling and frolicking in the "Preface to the Horse Fight" - this is still written by a noble woman, if it is replaced by a man, it is impossible to say that fifty or sixty kinds can be reported in one breath!

Song Huizong also knew that the people's feelings were like this, but he could see and do this, but he couldn't say it, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty would play a few tricks when they went home, but when they arrived at the court, who dared to propose to lift the ban on [gambling], they gritted their teeth with hatred and wanted to split, as if they had been dug up by that person.

Seeing that Song Huizong still did not approve of this method, Wu Kai was also a little speechless, and after thinking about it, gambling is not good, let's always collect tickets for sports events, right? It just so happens that Song Huizong doesn't like to play football the most?!

"Admission to the Kemari competition?"

This time, Song Huizong did not object, but said with a wry smile: "The Zen master has just arrived in Bianliang not long ago, maybe he doesn't know that now there are not a hundred places in the capital to perform Keju, but there are also sixty or seventy houses, each of which is full of tricks, that is, I have raised many masters in this palace, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be the best among them." ”

After a pause, he added: "Besides, although there are many people who like to keju, I am afraid that there will not be many people who are willing to spend money to see them every time - even if there are few people to compete with the people for profit, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket." ”

"Your Majesty, the Keju I'm talking about is not the common Keju today! Just increase the confrontation and intensity, and the storage can attract countless audiences! After two ideas were denied by Song Huizong, Wu Kai's face was a little unbearable, so he immediately offered the killer feature of modern football.

He compared and painted, copied the basic rules, structure, and gameplay of modern football, and asked Song Huizong for pen and paper chess pieces, drew a simple football field on it, and made a plane diagram.

If you want to say that Song Huizong is interested in the activity of Keju, he is definitely a hardcore true love fan, otherwise Gao Yu would not have become a captain.

In recent years, he has played almost all the tricks he can play, and he is feeling a little boring, and suddenly when he hears such a novel Keju rule, even if he is in good spirits, he and Wu Kai discuss it sentence by sentence, and he doesn't feel sleepy at all.

By the end of the long night, Song Huizong had already eaten most of the rules, and used his best thin gold body to list all these rules on paper, and even called the palace craftsmen overnight, according to Wu Kai, respectively, tried to use the bladders of cows, horses, pigs, and donkeys as the inner tank, and the nitrated calf leather as the shell, and made the first batch of modern football in the world.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter outside, Song Huizong couldn't wait to invite again: "Zen master, let's go to the racecourse with the widow to try it out, and see if this new style of Keju is as wonderful as the Zen master said!" ”

It is estimated that only in this kind of thing will he become a radical activist.

Although Wu Kai was very sleepy, it was not easy to sweep Song Huizong's interest, especially since this thing was proposed by him, and it could only be said that it was self-inflicted.

Song Huizong took the drawings and instructed the accompanying craftsmen to immediately make two dragon gates, and then found more than 20 eunuchs who were accustomed to juju, briefly introduced the rules of modern football, and briefly familiarized them with the new football.

As soon as the dragon gate was erected, he couldn't wait to urge the eunuchs to start the game.

It's just that these little eunuchs are usually used to playing with flowers, but how can they get used to such sports that emphasize speed and strength?

All of them are not in a hurry, and they want to show off some footwork tricks, but they turn out to be like a clown farce.

Seeing that if this continues, this modern football will 'die before the teacher is born', Wu Kai finally couldn't stand it, so he took off his robe and monk's robe, found a set of short clothes, and bowed boots, and personally went down to show these little eunuchs what football is.

Wu Kai was also half a fan in his previous life, he didn't watch much of the game, he only liked to compete with his friends on the field, although his strength was average, it was not a problem to deal with a few timid little eunuchs, and he just came on the field and connected the two of them, and came with a strong shot - although he slid out of the door, he finally made a start.

After all, those eunuchs are all good at juju, and they can't let go of their hands and feet at the beginning, and they are not familiar with the rules, but after they are gradually familiar with it under the leadership of Wu Kai, they have shown solid basic skills, whether they cooperate with each other or ride alone, they have done a good job.

Wu Kai saw that he no longer needed to lead his own rhythm on the field, so he called out to a substitute little eunuch who was eager to try, and then walked towards Song Huizong.

I thought that Song Huizong had been fascinated, but when he got closer, he hesitated: "Wonderful is wonderful, but is it too rude and not elegant enough?" ”

Depend on~

What kind of elegance do you have to talk about when you play a ball, this guy is really not wronged at all when he becomes the king of the dead country in the future!
