Chapter 80: The Mighty Dart Game
Jia Xu didn't ask again, and silently followed Liu Ze out the door. Can't go far, it's a house, the vermilion paint door is closed, Liu Ze stretched out his hand and patted the door, and soon someone opened the door, bowed to Liu Ze, Liu Ze waved his hand to let him retreat. Jia Xu was very puzzled and said: "This is clearly the private residence of the official eunuch's family, is the lord going to meet with any important person?" Liu Ze smiled silently and walked into the lobby happily.
At this time, a pair of children threw themselves into Jia Xu's arms, the eldest was seven or eight years old, and the younger one was five or six years old, one of them held one of Jia Xu's legs, "Daddy, Daddy ......" and screamed non-stop, Jia Xu was surprised, this is not his two sons - Jia Mu and Jia Wan, for a while, he was in a dream, looked up, his wife Qi was looking at him with a smile, said a thousand blessings, and said: "Xianggong, are you back?" â
Jia Xu rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not dazzled, and said in a lost voice: "You-why did you come to Luoyang?" â
Liu Ze said with a smile: "Liangzhou is now rampant and in chaos, so I took it upon myself to take my sister-in-law and two nephews to Luoyang. This mansion was originally the residence of an official of the official of the official Cao, who had returned to his hometown, so I bought it and let my sister-in-law live in it. There are three entrances here, although it is not too spacious, but it can be settled. â
Jia Xu was dizzy, the inside and outside are not spacious, not to mention four or five people, even forty or fifty people are more than enough. Looking at his wife and children, Jia Xu was full of emotion, they followed him in Liangzhou can be said to have three meals and no food and clothing, I didn't expect to be able to meet again in Luoyang at this time, and I lived in such a big house, it seems that Liu Ze, the lord, is really right.
At that moment, Jia Xu bowed deeply and said movingly: "The lord is very gracious, Jia Xu has nothing to repay, and he should do his best to repay the favor of the lord in the future." â
Liu Ze hurriedly helped him up and said: "Wen and what is this, as if I am buying people's hearts, you and I can work together, just like brothers, how can we divide each other, I am also worried about the safety of my sister-in-law and nephews in Liangzhou before I took them to Luoyang." If you see each other again, you won't be a brother, is it possible that you didn't work hard before, and you didn't do your best until I gave you a house? â
Jia Xu said shamefully: "Jia Xu is not careful in his words, the lord is not to blame." â
"Okay, it's okay today, Wenhe will accompany his sister-in-law more, and go to Fuyuanzhuang tomorrow. These four family members and two girls are the six guards of Phoenix Valley, which is enough to protect the safety of the sister-in-law, and if there is anything else, they can also be handed over to them. â
After saying that, he got up and said goodbye, Jia Xu and his wife repeatedly asked him to have lunch, but Liu Ze did not agree, only prevaricated to do it in advance. Jokes, couples reunite after a long absence, there is no reason to be a light bulb here. Hehe, I don't think there's a light bulb right now.
Three days later, Jian Yong came back to report that the formalities of the dart bureau had been completed. Originally, there was a Lang official under Pinghuai Ling, who was one of the five subordinate officials under Dasi Nong, who was in charge of commercial affairs. Jian Yong sent a few pieces of blue and white porcelain to this Lang official, and the Lang official happily introduced Jian Yong to Pinghuai Ling, although Pinghuai Ling had the right to issue car festivals and boat festivals (similar to the business license of merchants, which recorded the routes taken by ships and vehicles, as well as the goods allowed to be trafficked), but there was indeed no precedent for the opening of the dart bureau, not to mention that looking at Jian Yong's application, a large number of armed personnel were needed, which was contrary to the strict policy of prohibiting private possession of weapons by the imperial court, and he could not be the master.
This application was passed up, and it was transferred to the great eunuch Zhang Rang through the hands of the great eunuch. Zhang Rangzheng was concentrating on making money, and the procedures that no one dared to approve came to him with a big stroke of the pen, and it was approved. However, the price was not small, and it cost 20,000 taels of yellow gold.
Liu Ze didn't care, as long as it could be approved, it didn't matter how much it spent, but he looked at this dart festival (Pinghuai Ling issued a license for this emerging industry), which clearly stated that the highest armed personnel of the dart bureau was one hundred, this is indeed enough to hurt the egg, there are groups of robbers on the road, only a hundred people can make several darts at the same time, not to mention that Liu Ze also plans to set up a dart bureau in each of the thirteen states in the world, damn it! Private individuals are not allowed to hold arms, and the powerful landlord does not have hundreds or thousands of armed family members in his hands, and it is said that the Taifu Yuan Kui family has tens of thousands of armed family members, and the rebellion is enough, so why not see the court to sanction it.
Jia Xu looked at it and said disapprerovitously: "This is very simple, the dart masters can not all live in the dart board, just scatter and live everywhere, as long as the number of people in each team does not exceed 100 when we play the darts, and the government has nothing to say." â
Liu Ze patted his thigh and said, "Okay, just act according to Wenhe's words." Yun Chang served as the chief dart head of the dart bureau, Wen He served as the secretary of the dart bureau, responsible for the accounts and daily management of the dart bureau, Zhou Cang served as the dart master, and transferred Li Yong, Wang Meng, Chen Gang, and Zhao Qiang to serve as the dart master. I plan to recruit a group of people with strong martial arts to serve as dart masters, there are many heroes and heroes in the rivers and lakes, as long as we put up the banner of the dart game, I believe there will be masters to defect. â
Liu Ze said that he was stuck in the dart game, and then he realized that he hadn't given the dart game a name yet, and said with a smile: "By the way, I haven't named the dart game yet, let's discuss, what is the name of our dart game?" â
Zhang Fei took the lead and said: "Big brother's dart game, naturally it should be named after the big brother, it's called Ze-Dart Bureau!" â
Everyone was happy, daring to love Zhang Fei put his name in, Zhang Fei was slightly embarrassed, but he was not convinced: "What are you laughing at, what I said is the truth, I am also a shareholder." â
Jian Yong proposed to call the Four Seas Dart Bureau, Jia Xu named it the Kyushu Dart Bureau, Liu Ze thought of a name for the Dart Bureau: Darts travel the world, but he didn't bring it up, it seemed that this name was too domineering, he looked at Guan Yu and said: "Yun Chang, you are the head of the Dart Bureau, what do you think?" â
Guan Yu groaned slightly, and said, "How about calling the Yangwei Dart Bureau?" â
Liu Ze nodded, this name was quite loud, everyone also nodded, and the name of the dart game was decided.
was about to end the meeting, Zhang Fei was not happy, and said in a rough voice: "Big brother, why don't you have my share, the second brother is the head of the dart, so he will also give me a deputy head dart." â
"Third brother, the matter of the dart bureau will be handed over to Yun Chang and Wen He, you and I have more important things to do."
Zhang Fei wondered, "Is there something more important?" What's the matter? â
"When I'm done with this, I'll tell you again." Liu Ze sold him a pass.
Zhang Fei muttered for a long time, as if he was reluctant, but he knew that what Liu Ze decided could not be changed, but he was still looking forward to that important thing, well, at least compared to the vice president of the Yang Wei Dart Bureau.
The next thing is to choose the location, since the dart bureau is characterized as a business travel service, it is natural to be close to the merchants, Liu Ze found a relatively large store on Nanshi Street, redecorated it, and became the station of the dart bureau. At the same time, several courtyards were rented outside the city for the accommodation of the dart masters, after all, if so many people lived in the dart bureau, it would definitely cause criticism from the government.
Picking a good day and an auspicious day, the Yangwei Dart Bureau was opened. The Yangwei Dart Bureau stood out and immediately caused a sensation in Luoyang City. In order to improve the popularity of the dart bureau and to attract talents, Liu Ze deliberately set up a competition ring at the door of the dart bureau on the day of opening, and posted a recruitment notice, recruiting a deputy general dart leader, with an annual salary of 2,000 stones, several dart masters, with an annual salary of 600 stones, and several clerks, with an annual salary of 600 to 1,000 stones.
This recruitment notice stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the onlookers were like a tide, two thousand stones, isn't that the same as the county guard, many people were fascinated, and many people flowed out. The head of the vice president of a dart game can earn the annual salary of Taishou, which is simply a god-like zĂ i. But there is only one position of vice president, and the requirements are both civil and military, and outstanding ability, many people shake their heads, after all, high-paying positions are unattainable by ordinary people. But fortunately, there seems to be no upper limit to the positions of dart masters and clerks, and 600 stone is equivalent to the annual salary of the county order, which is not low.
Guan Yu is in charge of the ring competition, in fact, the conditions are very simple, as long as you can defeat any of the five dart masters of Zhou Cang, Li Yong, Wang Meng, Chen Gang, and Zhao Qiang, you can become a dart master, as for the vice president dart head, you have to bother Guan Yu to do it, as long as you can tie with Guan Yu or defeat Guan Yu, you can naturally sit in the position of the deputy head dart. The recruitment of clerks is in charge of Jia Xu, and the test is naturally in terms of articles and mathematics.
The ring is one zhang high, three zhang long, five zhang wide, all of which are built with pine wood with the thickness of the bowl mouth, covered with a three-inch thick wooden board, covered with a scarlet carpet, and a triangular dart flag is painted with gold thread to show the word Yangwei, hunting and flying in the wind, so the scene is quite magnificent. Guan Yu stood still in the ring, hugged his fists to the surrounding crowd and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, on the day of the establishment of the Yangwei Dart Bureau today, we will recruit talents and recruit people of insight from all over the world to join the Yangwei Dart Bureau. â
As soon as his words fell, a figure swooped into the ring, it seemed that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the 2,000 stone year was a big eye-catcher.
Guan Yu looked up and saw that the person who came was a strong man in his thirties, and he smiled at the moment and said, "The strong man wants to apply for that position?" â
The strong man said proudly: "Naturally, I am looking for a seat of 2,000 stones!" â
Guan Yu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then Guan will come to meet you, please!" â
