Hearing that Dian Man attributed the reason for his defeat to his poor performance, Luan Yi shook his head, "Xiao Man", as Dian Wei's sworn brother and Dian Man's righteous uncle, Luan Yi has always called him that. "You didn't lose because you didn't play well, you didn't give your teammates a chance to play. From the start of the tournament to the final, you were always playing alone, and in the first nine games, you beat them with great individual ability. But in the final, you ran into an opponent that you couldn't handle alone, and the team limited you with their superior teamwork skills, and you didn't trust your teammates to give them adequate support and passes, so you lost. Remember...... Keju is not a one-man game, and although Kemari is a game, it also reflects a war. If you make this mistake on the battlefield, it is equivalent to breaking away from your teammates and going deep alone, and you only care about fighting by yourself but do not cooperate with your allies, no matter how strong your combat power is, there will eventually be a moment when you run out of ammunition and food. Have you ever wondered what happens to your allies if you lose? What about your dragon gate, the imperial capital of Luoyang? As the commander of an army, what I am talking about is what you should consider, not just fighting. Do you understand? ”

Dianman nodded, "Your Majesty, the last general knows that he is wrong. ”

"It's better to know that it's not too late to make a mistake by losing a Keju match than to go to the battlefield and get under siege and worry your dad and me." Luan Yi patted Dianman's thick shoulder, "So, although you didn't win the championship in this Keju Competition, you are the one who gained the most." Isn't it? ”

Noriman smiled shyly and nodded.

"Next month, the Imperial Martial Arts Hall will open an officer cram school, and you will go to the academy for half a year."

"Huh? Read again! I hate reading the most. Dianman's face was bitter.

"My eldest brother, that is, your father's biggest regret in his life, is that he does not study much, and I hope that such regret will not be passed on to you again. Go ahead, go to the martial arts hall to enrich yourself. In addition, by the way, learning a little Western Dialect will be good for you in the future. ”

"Huh? I still have to learn a few words......"

Seeing Dianman's reluctance, his teammate Kwon Seung was very anxious, "Oops! You look like a lump of wood. His Majesty has sent you to further study, and this is to reuse you. Don't hurry up and thank you. ”

Dian's eyes lit up, learn the Western Regions dialect, learn what to do? Could it be? Mo Fei ...... "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Luan Yi nodded with satisfaction and patted Dianman's shoulder again. Then he took a step to the right and came to Quan Sheng, "Congratulations! He hung the medal around Kwon Seung's neck.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You have a good relationship with Dianman?"

"Kwon Seung is my good brother." Dianman interjected.

"That's good! The two of you go to Yanwutang to study together. You help me supervise him during class, and if he wants to take a nap or skip school, you can tell me. See if his dad will break his legs. Luan Yi blinked at Quan Sheng.

Dianman's face turned blue, "Your Majesty, don't! ”

Luan Yi ignored him, flicked his sleeves and walked to the next person.

After awarding medals to the Imperial Royal Keju Team, Luan Yi came to the members of the Slender Man Keju Team again, and the first thing he faced was the captain of the Slender Man Team, the young striker.

Different from the Imperial Royal Keju Team, the members of the Royal Keju Team are all Luan Yi's personal guards, although they have high respect for Luan Yi, but they know that this emperor is very kind, as long as he does not violate his principles, he is always smiling and very friendly to his own soldiers. So they weren't afraid of him.

The members of the slender man juju team were different, they had never met Luan Yi in person, they only knew that the person in front of them was a great monarch who was rare in Chinese history. They were so afraid of each other, coupled with the deterrent power that Luan Yi had unconsciously shown in a high position for many years, which made the members of the slender man juju team very frightened. Trembling and restless.

"Don't be afraid, I can't eat you. What are you shaking? Luan Yi smiled and walked up to their captain, the young striker, "Congratulations." You have outmaneuvered your opponents with great team spirit and sheer skill, and you deserve your title. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty...... His Majesty...... Ahh "The captain of the Slender Man team is a stammerer.

Luan Yi has lived for more than forty years, this is the first time he has seen a stutterer in the third century AD, and when he heard the intermittent answer, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and finally held back. "Anyway, congratulations." But when he was starting, he heard his teammates next to him whisper to him, "Deng Ai, Your Majesty is talking to us......"

"Deng Ai?" Luan Yi suddenly stopped and retreated in front of the young striker, asking, "Your name is Deng Ai?" ”

"Grass...... The grass people are. ”

Combined with the description of Deng Ai's stuttering in the early years in the history books, Luan Yiden locked the identity of the young striker of the slender man team in front of him - it was Deng Ai Deng Shizai, the leading capable minister and famous general of the Cao Wei regime in the late Three Kingdoms period in history. It is rumored that his family has been poor since he was a child, so now in the first year of the saint, he ran to the river at a young age and became a slender man. "Why don't you go to the academy to study and get famous?"

"My father died early, and my mother is not in good health. If I go to school, my mother will starve to death. Speaking of sadness, Deng Ai didn't stutter anymore.

"It's not that there is a church. With church relief, how can people starve to death? Luan Yi asked in surprise.

"My mother said it. We can't rely on church relief because there are so many people in need of help in the world, so it's better for the church to donate money to those who need help more. ”

Luan Yi was greatly moved, "Ling Tang is a person who knows the general situation." ”

"It's okay now......"

Luan Yi didn't understand why Deng Ai sighed for a while, "What? ”

"Our team won the Keju championship and won a prize of one million taels of silver. My mother's life has settled, and I can continue to study. ”

"That's why you're here to participate in the Kemari Tournament?" Luan Yi asked.

Deng Ai nodded firmly, "If it weren't for this goal, our team wouldn't have been able to make it to the finals." ”

"Good boy." Luan Yi rubbed Deng Ai's head, "You see if this is good." I see that you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and you are still of school age. On behalf of the Imperial Yanwutang, in the name of recruiting special talents, I sincerely invite you, the champion of the Imperial Cup Keju Competition, to study in Yanwutang. During your studies, the empire not only exempted you from tuition and fees, but also paid you a monthly military salary at the rate of a military commander. How is it? ”

"That'...... Affection...... Ahh As soon as he was excited, Deng Ai stuttered again. Your Majesty, why do you ...... Treat...... Am I so good? ”

Luan Yi was embarrassed, so he put on an unfathomable appearance, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." ”

In the next awards, Luan Yi failed to dig out any special talents from this group of civilian heroes in the eyes of Keju fans. The award ceremony ended, and this year's Keju Cup came to an end.

Just when the people in the stands were sad that the much-anticipated Keju event was about to leave their lives. The Imperial Household Department Shangshu Mao Jue sent them the good news that the second Imperial Cup Keju Contest will begin next year, that is, in March of the 25th year of the Shengyuan.

Unlike this year's tournament, next year's tournament will no longer be limited to Sizhou, but will cover the entire territory of the empire. Sizhou, Qingzhou, Qizhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Jizhou...... Even the Xiongnu, Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Luzhou and Jeju were collected.

Because of the wide coverage, there are bound to be many participating teams. Therefore, the competition system for the new year has changed: the teams of each state will first compete in the selection competition in their own state, and the rules of the selection competition are the same as those of this year's cup, first the round-robin match, and then the knockout round, and the top three in the state competition will go to Luoyang to participate in the finals in June of the 26th year of Shengyuan. Seventy-one states and fifty-one, and Sizhou, as the core of the empire, will send three more teams, adding up to fifty-four teams for the final battle. The winner was the second Cup winner.

The second year after the end of the second Cup, the third ...... will continue Every two years, and so on.

Hearing the news, the people of Luoyang were happy, and they were very excited to see the Keju event every year. The people of the other states and counties of the empire were boiling, and they were both envious and jealous after hearing about the hot scene in the Luoyang Keju arena. Right now, they don't need to be envious, because Keju has also come to their side, and they can also become a part of Kemari field.

The officials of the Imperial Household Department also crooked their mouths in amusement. After a session of the Empire Cup, in addition to the prize money for the champion, runner-up and third place and the maintenance of the venue, the Imperial Household Department earned two million taels of silver through tickets and advertising. This amount of money is equivalent to a year's tax in Youzhou. Next year, with the tournament expanding, this revenue will reach a new high, and how can they not be excited and looking forward to it.

The first Imperial Cup Keju Tournament ended in the joy and expectation of the people, and Luan Yi was finally able to take time out and devote all his energy to the grain production statistics after this year's autumn harvest.

In this regard, the imperial court encountered a number of difficulties. The main difficulty lies in the fact that since Qin Shi Huang unified weights and measures, the various measuring props on the land of China have been unified. However, although weights and measures are harmonized, there are huge errors in the measurement data due to local differences.

For example, although Qingzhou and Yangzhou both use buckets to measure volume, the size of buckets and buckets is different. Qingzhou's bucket is smaller, Yangzhou's bucket is slightly larger, although the number of grain buckets recorded in the account books sent by the two states is similar, but there is a huge difference in the actual weight of grain and grass.

Another example is that the people in the two states in the northwest of the empire and the Qiang Dao like to use stones to measure grain and grass. There are inherently different units between stone and bucket units, and they need to be converted first to measure each other, and the conversion process is extremely complicated, which invisibly increases the workload and difficulty of the imperial court.

In addition to capacity units. For the length of inches, rulers, and zhangs, there are different standards in each place. One foot is recognized as equivalent to 24.25 centimeters in the Empire, while a foot in the Saiwai grassland is as long as 30 centimeters. In the eyes of Jiaozhou people, a foot is about 20 centimeters.

The different length benchmarks make the trade of cloth often friction between the parties due to the length of the trade and their own minds.

In addition to this, some places use hexadecimal and some places use decimal system. It makes the account room of the household department a big one. Misaccounts are often miscalculated.
