In the second year of Hongxiang, in the passage of time, it is gradually approaching the end of the year. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Crystal snowflakes fell inside and outside Chang'an City, wrapping the dignified Chang'an City as if it was gilded with a layer of silver.

When winter comes, the farmers in Jingzhao Province are all at home with nothing to do. This is the characteristic of Chinese peasants, they are all dependent on the weather for food, although they are hard-working, they can only eat and wear.

If there is not even a single snow this winter, I am afraid that they will be in fear all day. Ancient farmers were wise enough to know that if there was no snow in winter, the next year's harvest would not be much better. I can't say it, there will be a locust plague. The overwhelming locusts were the most feared thing for the peasants.

Outside Chang'an, in a small village called Chenjiazhuang, farmers are hiding from the heavy snow at home, lighting stoves, drinking some wine, and chatting with several families. They did not have the slightest talk about the corrupt officials who were beheaded at the execution ground a few days ago, because what they did not matter to them was what they cared about.

A man said: "I heard that in the imperial city, there seems to be a new kind of keju, a few days ago, Master Chen was talking about taking his grandson to the imperial city to see what the hell is going on." Dabao, you just came out of the imperial city, tell me what's going on? ”

The young man named Dabao took a sip of wine, threw a broad bean into his mouth, and said, "Don't say it, that juju is really beautiful." I handed over a copper plate and went in to see it, and the site was so magnificent! It's the first time I've seen such a big scene. One team wore red, the other wore white, and there seemed to be eleven people in each team, all grabbing a keju. Whichever team kicks Keju into the opponent's dragon gate is considered to have scored a point. The people who watched Keju shouted crazy, have you ever seen a scene where tens of thousands of people shouted together? Can't even compare to the market! ”

Another man exclaimed: "Tens of thousands of people, how can there be so many people? ”

Dabao said: "How else can I say that it's the first time I, Chen Dabao, have seen this kind of scene? What's the name of the one who entered...... Oh yes, call it an admission ticket. Some of these tickets are expensive, some are cheap. The closer you are to Kemari, the more expensive it is. I've heard people say that the top tickets are sold for ten dollars in private. ”

Those men all sighed: "Ten yuan is enough for our harvest in a few years." ”

"No, those big men are really rich!"

Chen Dabao looked excited and said: "I think it's worth it, you don't know, every time there is a game, the emperor will definitely go to see it in person." If you buy a position close to the emperor's dragon drive, you will have a little more confidence to brag to your children and grandchildren in the future! ”

Everyone exclaimed: "The emperor will also go?" ”

Chen Dabao seemed to feel that they were lonely and unheard, and said, "Don't you know? This new style of Keju was conceived by the emperor. The emperor loves to play the most, although he doesn't play, but as soon as the dragon comes, tens of thousands of people are crazy, and those who play football are even harder......"

Everyone was envious: "Dabao, that means you have seen the emperor with your own eyes?" ”

Chen Dabao took another sip of wine and said, "That's not it?" ”

In fact, he just saw Lu Chengqi's entourage from a distance, where did he see Lu Chengqi? However, Chen Dabao said that he had seen the emperor, and there was no second person present, so he could only brag about it.

Chen Dabao continued: "Our emperor also came up with a new gadget, which seems to be called Juju Fucai. I saw with my own eyes that someone bought the Keju team and exchanged it for a thousand yuan on the spot! ”

Everyone was stunned: "Thousands of dollars? ”

Chen Dabao said triumphantly: "Well, that's good. This Juju Fucai is much better than gambling on dice, fish, shrimp and crabs in the gambling house. The emperor divided the prize into one to six prizes, and the first prize was a thousand dollars! The sixth-prize that is the least poor also has consistent money. You haven't seen it,As soon as this Juju Fucai came out,It was robbed,Hurt the adults of the household,You have to add a blessing to print. ”

Which of those men is not good at gambling, but there is no money to gamble, looking at Chen Dabao with a blank eye, hoping that he will say how this Juju Fucai gambles.

Chen Dabao continued: "You can buy two copper plates, you can guess the score of the two Keju teams, or how many points are apart, or guess how many points the two teams have scored in total, or guess which team scored three goals first, or guess which team scored the first goal, or guess which team won in the case of the handicap given by Keju Fucai." If you guess all six correctly, you can get a thousand dollars. If you guess one of them, you will win the sixth prize. If you guess two correctly, you will win the fifth prize. Three are the fourth prize, four are the third prize, and five are the second prize. ”

Although Chen Dabao is illiterate, he remembers the rules of Keju Fucai, and even the gameplay is clear. And these are all knockoffs made by Lu Chengqi by borrowing from modern football lottery and drumming, and it is enough to fool these ancients.

Although the odds of winning the lottery are not large, the temptation of exchanging two copper plates for thousands of dollars still makes many people rush to it, and even illiterate farmers are enthusiastic to participate. This is what Lu Chengqi is most proud of, after all, China's small-scale peasant economic model, lack of consumption, the economy is like a pool of stagnant water, how can it be driven? The only way to do it is to make a profit.

After everyone heard this, they all had an urge to fight, after all, there are not many copper plates, if the luck is so good that it can be exchanged for thousands of dollars at once, wouldn't it be a profit?

"That Dabao, have you ever bought it?"

Chen Dabao's hand holding the wine bowl trembled, and he laughed: "I bought it, but unfortunately I didn't win!" However, the emperor's decree said that in the future, let the people spontaneously organize the Keju team, and after screening, together with the two royal Keju teams, a total of 30 teams, compete for the Golden Dragon Cup. The team that finally won the Golden Dragon Cup had a bonus of 5,000 yuan, and the emperor personally rewarded him. I think,This Keju Fucai must have always been,It depends on your understanding of Keju.。 I'm sure I'm going to win the lottery, but when, I don't know. ”

Hearing this, someone joked: "Dabao, why don't we also form a Keju team, if we win the Golden Dragon Cup, the prize money will be enough for each of us to live comfortably for a lifetime." ”

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, Chen Dabao patted his thigh: "Yes, we have so many men in Chenjiazhuang, we can also form a juju team!" ”

Everyone was stunned and said, "Dabao, don't you really want to form a Keju team, then who will farm the land?" ”

Chen Dabao said with a smile: "This Keju competition is from November to the first month of next year, where will I miss the agricultural time?" ”

When he said this, everyone was moved. As a citizen of the Great Shun Dynasty, which one of them never played Keju when he was a child? These men all have a certain confidence in their Keju skills, but they haven't played for too long, and they are afraid that their skills will be unfamiliar.

And at this moment, Lu Chengqi was in the vertical arch hall, looking at the income and expenditure details of the three Keju ball games, and after reading it, he smiled and said to Xu Chongguang: "Xu Qing, I am right, the income of this Keju is comparable to commercial taxes!" ”

Xu Chongguang really accepted it this time, he didn't agree with it before, because he was afraid that Lu Chengqi would be overly addicted to the game and waste political affairs. But now it seems that Lu Chengqi himself is very sober and has brought so many benefits, he is really admired.

However, Xu Chongguang was also puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't understand, why does this Keju have such a great charm, since it has attracted so many merchants to come to place so-called advertisements?" ”

Lu Chengqi said: "What is the most profitable football? Isn't it just advertising money? However, he still answered one by one: "Our Keju field can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the merchant can make his shop be remembered by tens of thousands of people for a mere fifty yuan. At that time, the shop has a reputation, and he can earn it back in less than a day for a mere fifty yuan, and his income is much more than he pays, so he will naturally be willing to put it. ”

Xu Chongguang thought about it carefully, and knew that this was the truth, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's ability to make money can be described as the best in the world!" ”

Lu Chengqi scolded with a smile: "Even you have learned to shoot my ass!" ”

After discussing political affairs again, Xu Chongguang took his leave. Lu Chengqi's thoughts still drifted to Keju: "Football makes money not only for advertising, but also for surrounding industries, so that the commercial tax can also rise to a higher level." When the time comes, the treasury will have surplus money, and it will be able to develop technology rapidly. Alas, when will my dream of sailing come true? Money, money, or lack of money! ”
