Li Chen was very happy, he received the military report from Xiaohu and them, and they had recovered Huizhou, the casualties were not large, and the results were not small. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After they recovered Huizhou, they were warmly welcomed by the local people. It's really a pot pulp to welcome the king. This year's harvest in this area is not good, the weather is not good, and the Tubo people do not produce, but the people still take out all the treasured grain****.

Originally, Xiaohu was resolute, according to Li Chen's teachings, they were glorious to the Tang Army, and they would never take a single grass or tree from the people, a needle and a thread, and as soon as they entered the city, they strictly restricted military discipline, and seized the granaries and weapons depots of the Tubo people, as well as goods, and did not commit any crimes against the people in the city.

In this regard, the people were even more moved, insisting on sending the grain to the Shence army, 'The general came from afar, expelled Tubo, restored my Tang foundation, and saved the people of my city, we all hope that Wang Shi has been for a long time, if you don't take this grain, we can't keep it, if it is not you, the Tubo people will not rob him all.' ’

One insisted on giving, the other insisted on not receiving, and in the end Li Chengyi was more clever, he said, they came from afar, it was not easy to supply food, and they didn't know how long it would take to wait for the grain to arrive.

'Buy? They don't have enough food to eat. Xiaohu's generation refused, but Li Chengyi said that as long as it takes a while, the supplies in the rear will keep up, and when the time comes, they can sell it to them cheaper, "their food is not enough, we buy high, the grain arrives later, and then sell it low, which means that we will collect a bucket, and return them more than a bucket, they will remember our good fortune, just buy people's hearts." ’

Li Chen was very happy to see this, happy that they could successfully recover Huizhou, and Datang Zhongxing was just around the corner. I'm even happier, this army is a bit like a modern army, well, maybe it's a bit too much, in history, the Yue family army also froze to death and didn't demolish the house.

Well, no matter what, Li Chen was very happy, and he asked the military department to give an order and instructed the Lingwu Jiedu to send troops to respond. And let the rear step up the transportation of baggage, the most important thing is that the grain and grass must keep up. There should be no problem with this, because there was a plan to recover the border first.

Therefore, the railcar route has been extended to this generation. As a result, the amount of materials that can be transported in this area has increased greatly. By the way, there has already been a proposal to extend this rail-drawn carriage.

Because the Wei River is often silted, although the transportation cost of the railroad is higher than that of the canal, there is no problem in this regard at all, it is feasible day and night, and has the potential to replace the river transport. So some people have already considered promoting this railroad. These things are still being planned, and Li Chen will think about it again, where will the money come from.

In the end, Xiaohu and them were approved, so that they could recruit troops on the spot, and the establishment would remain unchanged for the time being, and then split into two armies when it was expanded to a certain size.

After dealing with this, there is no political affairs today, and he is in a very good mood, and he wants to go out and have fun, 'Let's go, go shopping.' Li Chen planned to bring several of his wives and concubines, but only Su Xiaoxiao was willing to follow, because the others were pregnant again. Chao's movement is inconvenient, Yang Er is too lazy to move, Xiaohong is not too nostalgic, Yang Er doesn't go, she doesn't want to go, it seems to be infected, and in the end, only Su Xiaoxiao followed.

'Let's go watch the game. As soon as he got out of the palace, Su Xiaoxiao said excitedly, "What game?" ''Football League. Su Xiaoxiao clenched his fists, "Today there is the Datang Bank team, and the Yamato team of the Japanese people." ''Oh, let's go.'' Li Chen thought about it for a while and agreed.

Today, it is the first Datang Datang Football League, the regional finals. After several years of development, Datang finally has a football league.

The football trend has long been blown to all parts of Datang, and football clubs have been established in various places. It's just that there was no such thing as a league before, only one by one.

Newspapers have long launched a special column on football matches, selecting some interesting games and reporting them in words. However, it is impossible to determine who is strong and who is weak. No team is always winning, there is always a time to lose. It can't be said that winning more and losing less is a strong team, there is always that kind of persimmon that picks the team that is soft and pinched. In addition, even the game was not accurate. There are no detailed rules, no credible referees.

In addition, polo fields have been converted into soccer balls in various places. It's just that these football fields are also chaotic, the place is limited, and the government can't decide who can compare and who can't. I can only choose from the newspaper to pick the five games that seem to be more popular, and then collect tickets by the way to make up for the finances. In this situation, the football league was finally born.

Li Chen finally threw the rules of various competitions and all kinds of sports-related affairs to the Ministry of Rites, otherwise he really couldn't think of which department was more suitable for sports than the Ministry of Rites among the six departments and twenty-four divisions of the Tang Dynasty and the nine temples and five prisons.

The Ministry of Rites has a lot of opinions on this, who knows how to get this thing, there is no clue, and there is no precedent to follow, unless it comes to modern times, basically all Chinese dynasties, there is no department, which is specifically responsible for sports.

What is ten thousand words, it is better than a silent truth, not only the Qing Dynasty people understand. Originally, the Ministry of Rites was a very idle part, but Li Chen stuffed a lot of things into it, and it became very busy. They have to do a good job in the imperial examination several times a year, which was very simple before, but as soon as Li Chen changed it, it became very troublesome, and the questions were very nerve-wracking. Now he wants to do sports again, so the Ministry of Rites protested.

Protest? Simple, Li Chen laid off a department of the Ministry of Rites and abolished the Department of Catering. Now you can fill in the missing division with a new division, the Sports Division.

The food department, hearing the name, also knows, this is the food to eat. He was in charge of the court's food and drink, as well as the offerings during the sacrifices. Li Chen threw it to Guanglu Temple.

Guanglu Temple was also quite responsible for eating at that time. His predecessor was Delang Zhongling in the Qin Dynasty and Guangluxun in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was responsible for the sacrificial utensils and meals offered during the sacrifice of the suburban community, and after the great court meeting, the emperor gave the food under the corridor. The four offices set up under it, Taiguan, Zhenyu, Liangyu and Zhangjiao, are all related to eating.

Guanglu Siqing, there was no protest, whatever the emperor said, there was no bargaining. I don't know if it's because I've accepted my fate, I know that if he doesn't do it, he can change people, or Li Chen hasn't started to rectify them, and their workload hasn't increased too much, so it's relatively quiet.

Seriously, this is equivalent to downgrading the importance of this matter by one level. Because these nine monasteries are subject to six temperances. Originally, Li Chen didn't pay much attention to this kind of sacrifice. It's not that it doesn't matter, but this kind of thing, every year, it's the same worship, the process is the same, he doesn't feel the need, and he sets up a special department-level unit to do this.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu took on this errand head, and the first thing was to formulate the rules of football that were becoming popular. But everyone didn't know how to do it, and finally found some new practitioners who liked football more and threw the trouble to them. When the time comes, if it is done well, the Ministry of Merit will also have a share, and if it is not done well, there will be a scapegoat immediately.

Li Chen knows the of the Ministry of Rites, but there is nothing wrong with finding some young officials to do it, young people are more creative, and it is better than those stubborn and rigid middle-aged officials.

The longer you are an official of the Ministry of Rites, the more rigid and stubborn you become, there is no way, etiquette cannot be ignored, and there is a set of cumbersome and standardized rules that cannot be changed. So after working in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, people are stupid.

However, Li Chen still looked for these new science and technology scholars and gave them a little instructions. He doesn't know much about how the professional football league works in the future, he will look at it, but he is not interested in studying how it works behind the scenes, just to understand the general idea.

It's like if you eat pork, it's great that you just study how to make it more delicious, and few people will study how to raise this pig.

Li Chen took Su Xiaoxiao into the box, they pinched the time, and finally arrived. The guards rushed in to check, and after no problem, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to enter the box, and sat in front of the big glass window, and the players of the two teams had already entered the field.

The inside of the box is very bright, and a few candles light the box, which is quite necessary, through simple processing, to create an environment that cannot be seen from the outside, for the sake of safety.

When the players on both sides lined up and bowed symbolically like Li Chen, the game began. They didn't know that Li Chen had also come to see it, but the stadium had a special box for the royal family, and they didn't know which guy it was, and the polo team would salute when they came on the field, and this etiquette was also used here, and the result became that no matter whether Li Chen came or not, they would salute in this direction anyway.

At the beginning of the game, the red team got the right to serve, these dead Japanese devils, very insistent on what sunrise in the East, only I am undefeated, red symbolizes the sunrise in the East, so the general team will have a two-color jersey, on this team composed of Japanese students, only one color gets the red jersey.

Li Chen listened to this explanation and vomited blood, what is this undefeated in the East, who made it, I think everyone knows it. He didn't expect this at the beginning, but when he watched this ball game today, he had been suppressing the idea of arresting all these Japanese students.

In particular, the supporters of both sides in the audience waved the flags of their supporters. The red sun on a white background is even more dazzling. This thing was also brought out by them, and the Tang people didn't feel it yet, Li Chen wanted to order that the emblem of the Wa Guo team was unqualified and let them redo it. Later, he really did it, which made the Japanese team very inexplicable.

Japanese people are proud of going abroad, which can be regarded as a kind of Ah Q. Your Tang Dynasty and Sui Dynasty have bigger lands and stronger countries than me, but the sun is in my direction. At the beginning, Ono's sister was not a girl surnamed Ono, she was a man, but her name was a girl.

At the beginning, in the letter to the Sui Dynasty, it was written that it was the country of sunrise and the son of heaven of the country of sunset. made Emperor Yang of Sui angry half to death.

Of course, the Wa Kingdom, which was re-educated by the Tang people to be a human being, will not be so guilty now, and it is still written in the national book. However, they used it on the ball emblem, which is simple and easy to remember or their symbol, probably I didn't expect it to be a crime.

This is just an example of the inverted frieze, in general, the popularity of sports, in disguise to stimulate some merchandise, there is no such product with the player's head printed on it, but there are also a lot of merchandise available. For example, two-color fabrics, as well as the printing and dyeing industry. In the Tang Dynasty, it was already possible to dye very beautiful patterns on textiles.

The new soccer league stipulates that each team must have its own drawing. Therefore, this has stimulated the development of the Datang printing and dyeing industry in disguise, the jersey should be dyed, the team flag should be dyed, although some people hastily take pen and ink, and draw it on the jersey, there is still a wealthy team, please design.

Who to design? Invite those famous painters to design, some of them are famous in this era, and Li Chen has never heard of painters in later generations, so he made a small fortune. There is also a famous calligrapher, who was also invited to wave and write the name of the team. Then, all the money is spent, and printing and dyeing can't be saved, right?

As for the cost, under the leadership of Li Chen, some businesses have a simple brand concept, which is also a kind of brand. More and more big businesses are learning to sponsor a certain team on a regular basis, because they find that it seems to stimulate the sales of their products, which also makes the original amateur football move towards professionalism. It's like this bank team. Listening to the name, you also know that it is a team sponsored by Datang First Bank.

At the beginning of the game, it was very fierce at the beginning, and the bank team relied on people and horses to bully the Japanese team frequently. The Wa national team took the route of technical flow. Frequently rely on passing and ball skills to launch attacks.

Li Chen was very satisfied, some of the football teams in later generations looked like, at least there would be no more such frequent foul scenes, and in the end, the two sides were not better than football, but better than the corners.

The new soccer league has detailed rules of the game, and penalties. Some referees have also been trained. The most important thing is that it is organized. Some amateurs don't care, and if they want to play on the ball, they have to participate in the football league, otherwise they won't be given.

The schedule is also arranged in detail, each team will compete, and there are points, so that you can distinguish who is the strong team and who is the weak team. Those with high points will participate in the leagues that are differentiated by each province, and the winners can participate in the real national league.

Today's game is to decide who can qualify for the finals of the Chang'an football team. Because Chang'an is a capital city with a large population, it is specially stipulated that some large cities are not included in the province, but are participated in by a single future.

The game was very exciting, except that the ball emblem was very dazzling, Li Chen was quite happy to see it. After watching the game, there was still some time, Li Chen went to the theater to visit the theater and visited the newly opened bookstore, but he was far away in Huizhou, but he fell into anger.

'Send troops. Xiaohu slammed the table angrily, "I don't care about repairing it, the military situation is like fire, and I order the whole army to pull out." (To be continued.) )
