After the land auction around Yuanbi City, "Dongdu News" and "Reference News" both reported on yesterday's grand event at length, but the focus of the two reports was very different.

"Dongdu Shimbun" is a private newspaper, and its coverage of the auction focuses on legends such as Ono Meizi and Xia Gao; "Reference News" is a newspaper directly under the imperial court, and more reports focus on the land sale committee organized by Su You Liu Weimin, and of course there are small reports on Xia Gao, but there is no mention of Ono Girl.

After Ono girl jumped out of the window on the second floor that day and escaped, because she still had a bronze medal in her hand to participate in the auction, the soldiers patrolling around the outer sky were not embarrassed by him, and when she learned that he was a foreign envoy, someone even offered to send him back to the Sifang Pavilion, Ono girl was afraid of long nights and dreams, so she naturally refused.

When the soldiers on patrol saw him in a mad state, they didn't want to pay any more attention to him, so they had to let him go. After Ono returned to the Sifang Pavilion, she originally thought that she would invite revenge, but she didn't wait for the left and right, so how could someone who could enter the Sifang Pavilion at will hurt him lightly? But he never dared to leave the Sifang Pavilion for half a step from then on.

Su You fulfilled the verbal promise between him and Ono's sister, and specially entered the palace to ask to see Yang Guang once.

Yang Guang was very excited about the land income from the tax for nearly a year, and the relevant departments and key personnel were greatly rewarded, but Yang Guang has always grasped the power more tightly, so there is no one who has been promoted; When Su You mentioned Ono's sister's nonsense, Yang Guang just said coldly, "Let him jump for another month." ”

Su You heard the song and knew what it meant, "It seems that the army of Zhengdong should set off next month." He originally wanted to reveal the news to Ono, but he was too busy to forget about it.

At this time, the construction of Yuanbi City has begun to take shape, Xia Gao released a loan of about 15 million yuan at the auction, and correspondingly obtained more than 2,000 acres of land deeds, so he is naturally full of confidence, and the construction of Yuanbi City has also been drastic.

Gradually, the deadline for registration to participate in polo competitions has also quietly arrived, and Yang Er has already established a polo tournament organizing committee. After three days of discussion, the organizing committee finally formulated a series of rules for the polo match, but in view of Su You's words that day, Yang Er still summoned the leaders of the twenty-eight teams who signed up for the competition to come to the Qi Wangfu for a so-called democratic discussion.

Although it is a democratic discussion, this is only in name, and the opinions put forward by Yang Er are basically all universal. Yang Er knew it in his heart, so he naturally directly picked up the precautions for the competition that had been formulated a long time ago and read it aloud, and everyone below silently remembered it in their hearts, only a little drowsy.

The purpose of today's meeting is nothing more than three things, the first is of course to announce the penalty rules of the polo team, the second is the arrangement of the competition system, and the third point is the detailed registration - draw up the team name, and count the list of personnel for the first round of the game.

There is nothing to say about the penalty rules of the polo team, just like Su You summarized last time, it is okay to hit the ball into the goal with a cue stick on a horse, of course, the player's body cannot deliberately touch the ball, for example, you can't kick or catch the ball with your hands. The ball game did not adopt the offside rules proposed by Su You, although the ball game will be more exciting after offside, but this cannot be in line with international standards, and the ultimate goal of Yang Guang's organization of polo matches is to organize a strong team to abuse the Turks......

When it comes to the format, playing a round-robin tournament is definitely the fairest, but if the Ume branch team has to play one game against other teams, it will have to play nearly 500 games. Su You thus proposed the concept of group stage and knockout stage,—— dividing the 28 teams into four groups, playing a round-robin match within the group, and the top two teams in the group participated in the final knockout stage to compete for the championship.

"If you calculate it this way, you have to play 21 round-robin matches in the first round of the group, and the four groups add up to a total of 84 games." Li Jing frowned after listening to the spirit of the meeting conveyed by Su You.

"The eight teams that make it to the second round of the knockout round will each have to play three games, for a total of 12 games; If you want to finish around the Dragon Boat Festival, there are three games to be staged every day. Su You nodded, this is a tense and cruel season.

"It's not the players who are tired, it's the spectators, even the team that wins the championship only needs to play ten games, and it only takes one game every three days on average, which is easy; Teams that do not make it to the second round only need to play six games before going home. Pei Yuanqing interjected.

"It's not tiring for them, can't they choose not to look at it? Even if they do go to the game, they must be psychologically willing; Do you think, a group of people with higher official positions and more wealth than them are so tired on the court that they work hard to perform for them like grandchildren, and they are the masters at that time! Su You shook his head and said with a smile, his words causing everyone to sigh for a while.

"Come on, what should we call it?" Su You talked about naming the team, and had a vague premonition of what Yang Er wanted to do, vigorously promoting the polo game is a must, gambling or it is also a must, otherwise the ball game will encounter the embarrassment of not having an audience.

What's the best name? At the beginning, Su You was a team established in the name of capturing Pei Yuyan, and Luo Yi, Leng Aolong and others joined to deal with He Ruojia; Later, after Xia Ziwei, Li Jing and others joined, the team's goal has become to win the championship.

Everyone was in deep thought for a while, but the carriage and horses unconsciously arrived at the side of the polo field by the Tongji Canal.

"How about the wind and clouds? The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds! I hope that everyone will have a bright future after the training of the polo team. Su You thought of those two lines of poetry, and immediately brought up this idea.

"The situation is changing, this is chaos." Although Li Jing thought so, it was difficult for him to say it, because at this time, everyone had already cheered, and it was obvious that he had almost unanimously voted for Su You's mentions.

"Then our Fengyun Polo Team will practice on this court for the last time, and tomorrow we can practice on the ground I bought, at least without going out of the city." Su You nodded, taking the lead.

"Actually, it's better to go outside the city, the piece of land you bought is still a piece of rubble, right?" Pei Yuanqing responded to Su You with a smile.

Su Youtong guò Bi Yuntao came out to borrow money from Qijun Qianzhuang to auction the first piece of land, and everyone in the team knew about it, but not many people knew about his private transaction with Xia Gao. After Bi Yuntao bought the land, many people came to the door and asked him to transfer it, and Bi Yuntao transferred the land to Su You's name in a bright way.

"The rubble has been cleared, and the stadium has been planned, but when it comes to the environment, it is really not as good as this Tongji canal." When Su You heard Pei Yuanqing ask, he could only sigh, of course it is not difficult to plan the polo field, but it is not possible to complete it in a few days to realize his plan.

Transplanting turf is of course the most direct and effective way, but this is a big project, how much money and manpower does it cost to have 40 acres of turf on a golf course? Besides, the transplanted turf can't run horses and play on it for ten days and a half, and when the turf grows, the polo game should come.

"The venue is not always in the ideal state, and we should practice in a harsh environment." Li Jing didn't seem to care about the bad condition of the land Su You bought, paused and said, "For the next practice, we still have to focus on actual combat, and it is best to find a few teams to play friendly matches half a month before the start of the game." ”

"The current sparring team is really hard to find." When it comes to finding a team to play, Su You feels a little embarrassed, and he knows no door valves, but almost all of them are general friends, and it is more likely that the other party regards him as hostile.

"The border soldiers are not out of the wilderness now." Hearing Su You's depression, he naturally felt the same way, since they defeated Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry last time, they had not played against other teams.

"Forget it, let's practice. I can't rush to do this. Su You shook his head, at this time, the others had already practiced, running each other in twos and threes, practicing the tacit understanding between two or three people, Su You looked at the hot scene, finally threw away the sorrow in his heart, and began to practice batting......

While Su You and others were actively preparing for the polo match, King Qi appeared in the "Dongdu News" publishing house for the first time, and he hadn't come to the publishing house for more than a month.

A month and a half after the reorganization of "Dongdu News", the work of the newly joined Xue Shuduyan and Wei Hou and Liu Weimin has slowly entered the formal, Wei Hou and Liu Weimin's enthusiasm and ability to work are refreshing, their achievements Yang Er of course sees in his eyes, in his mind, Zu Junyan and Liu Shanjing, the two veterans, are in the back row.

"Your Highness! Are you here......" Wei Hou looked at the small advertisement in his hand a little absentmindedly, but he was the first to see King Qi enter the door,—— the guards guarding the door all knew King Qi, so naturally they didn't stop him, but they were stopped by him when they wanted to go in to report.

"I'm stopping by to have a look, and by the way, I want to have a little meeting with you." King Qi looked at the few people who got up from the busyness and waved his hand, but he found an empty place to do it.

"Zu Junyan is resting today, do you want to ......?" When Wei Hou heard that the King of Qi had a meeting, he naturally summoned everyone as soon as possible.

"No, I'm just here today to arrange the focus of the recent work, on the occasion of the start of the polo tournament is about to ......" King Qi then emphasized the importance of the promotion of the polo match, and also pointed out the direction of publicity, naturally, this qiē is to serve his gambling career.

Wei Hou and Liu Weimin listened to King Qi's arrangement, and couldn't help nodding yes; Liu Shanjing and Du Yan Xue Shui shook their heads slightly, in addition to eating together, they also came to the newspaper hall for the purpose of speaking for the saint.

The last time Su You made a promise when the newspaper was reorganized, it was only unsatisfactory, but since the bidding for Yuanbi City began, the novel legend column that had just been opened died abruptly, and then the newspaper was occupied by the overwhelming land transfer and the propaganda of Qi County Qianzhuang, and they originally thought that a good spring would be ushered in soon......

But now...... Is advertising really going to do with newspapers?
