"That's good, so-and-so eats wine, so-and-so is hungry" Dugu Xinci raised his glass, and everyone drank victorious.

After three rounds of drinking, Dugu Xinci also learned about the matter of this Wan Shang Exhibition, which was set with reference to the rules of the Far Eastern Chamber of Commerce.

Dugu Xinci didn't put his beak in it, and said a perfunctory sentence at will, and then Feng Yuanyi, the chief manager of Lijingmen, came, saying that the sage had invited the Marquis of Far East.

Dugu Xinci can't, but she happens to be on the same road as Nalan Feiya, she also wants to go to Daming Palace to meet the queen, and she needs to live in the Ayaqi Palace.

Dugu Xinci muttered two sentences to no avail, this Nalan empress has a different identity, and letting her live in the palace of Liaoyang County will also make people attack.

Wen Yuwei Erlang and they went to the palace of Liaoyang County, Dugu Xinci and Nalan Feiya first sent the county lord of Enping back to Xue Wangfu, Dugu Xinci also had the heart to ask about the next marriage date, Xue Wang Yanye smiled and said that he was this year old.

put Dugu Jialuo in the Yanxi Gate of the Imperial City, and then rushed to Daming Palace.

Dugu Xinci thought about it, and asked Nalan Feiya to go to see the queen first, ignoring Feng Yuanyi's complaints, and went to Jingzhao Mansion first, but he hadn't met the new Jingzhao Mansion Yin Wang Zhisu yet?

Feng Yuanyi told him to go to the Xuanzheng Hall as soon as possible, and he hated to repay the saint.

Dugu Xinci entered Jingzhao Mansion, first went to Shao Yin Yanshizhi's place to sell the holiday, he could use a few days of rest for his trip to Beijing this time, but in Yan Shizhi's words, you are deceiving the imperial historians.

Dugu Xinci smiled, and slowly transferred to the acting wing of the mansion Yin Wang Zhisu.

The current Jingzhao Mansion Yin Wang Zhisu, Bozhou Liaocheng also. Less to the rank of Jinshi. In the year of the dragon, the imperial history of Zuotai was eliminated, and the doctor was added. The law enforcement is upright, the hundred bureaucrats are afraid, and the people of the time call it "the eagle", saying that it cares about the people, such as the eagle osprey looks at the bird. Looking for Dali Zheng, try to say: "The law, the embankment of people, if the embankment is not erected, then people have nothing to forbid." Stealing Dali bureaucrats, most of them do not follow the law, take arson as forgiveness, and abide by the text as harshness. The ministers indiscriminately enforce the criminal code, and they are afraid that they will be slandered by the public. ”

Wang Zhi drank ** finely, and took off the corn rice to the guests. The merchant had a mule, and he traveled 300 miles a day, but he did not sell 30,000. The city's quotation was 14,000, and they said: "4,000 gold is less, and it is more than 1,000." "And he ordered him to buy a single silk and a horse to three thousand. Ask with a few taels of silk. He said, "Five taels." "I ordered the vertical to take five taels of silk, and every two and ten dollars were straight.

This is the temperament of the top boss that Dugu Xinci understands, and when he sees himself, he sees his dignified appearance, and his face is righteous and natural, but he smiles cutely, and he understands Dugu Xinci's apology, and says that the same dynasty is a minister, no need to be formal, serve the country, and abide by the way of a minister is right.

Wang Zhishu's Yin Yan said that he was about to meet the saint, and Dugu County ordered him to be at his own convenience.

Dugu Xinci retreated, and he was not in a hurry to meet the saint, but still went to Yan Shizhi Shaoyin, and after showing off his charm, he asked how the Jingzhao Mansion would house those martial artists?

Yan Shaoyin smiled bitterly, "There have been a few martial arts brawls every day in the past few days, Jingzhao Mansion is annoying, Wannian County is a little better, some of them will be disposed of by themselves, Chang'an County has reported everything to Jingzhao Mansion for disposal, even so, Yao Yiming Mansion also said that it refused to set up an examination room in Chang'an County, you are back, Wang Fu Yin probably wants to hand over this hot potato to you as soon as possible, and it is natural for you to be kind to you, and your charm is still growing?" You're just waiting to take on this tricky errand, aren't you? ”

"The feelings are happy, but the tricky ones are tricky, who calls the ability of a certain great? This kind of thing can also take over "Dugu Xinci is kind, anyway, he can't run away, and no one is allowed to do so?"

"Okay, you have the greatest ability, by the way, I heard that you flailed a few troublesome martial arts to show the public in Chunmingmen?"

"Yes, this monkey wants to kill a chicken, just catch a chicken sent by him, it's still a big one, the nephew of the General of the Auxiliary Kingdom, that kid is very rampant, dare to scold so-and-so, so-and-so still saw that General Wang's face did not break his leg on the spot"

"Uh, the Auxiliary General? Or is your heart big, and you say that you stay here and wait for dinner? Wannian County has nothing to deal with? ”

"So-and-so is waiting for the call of a saint? This Wang Fu Yin was also summoned by the saint, and a certain can't say in front of him that a certain person is also going to face the saint, right? So let's wait a minute, maybe when they're done with the matter, we can just go and hear the results."

As he was talking, Feng Yuanyi came with a snort again, and without saying a word, he pulled Dugu Xinci and left.

There are a lot of people in the Xuanzheng Palace, five Xianggong, five Shangshu are all there, Yin Wang Zhisu of Jingzhao Mansion, as well as General Pei Min of Jin Wuwei, General Cheng Boxian of Qianniuwei, and Qiu Wu, the president of the Samurai Association, Wei Yixiao, the president of the Sorcerer Association, Cheng Boxian is actually the vice president of the Knight Association, and their president Yan Tianqi has disdained to participate in this kind of meeting, and the Xuande Hall is very lively.

Dugu Xinci bowed his hand to the crowd, and when he saw that the saint was talking to Song Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was about to sneak aside to listen.

"Is a certain Dugu Ming Mansion coming back from vacation?" How could the saint let him go?

"Wannian County, the county commander Dugu Xinci has seen a saint", Dugu Xinci had no choice but to give another gift.

"A certain is not nonsense with you, this year's Wuju Zhigongju is Song Jing Shangshu, Xiao Song Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Wang Hui Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials are deputy envoys, and the deputy envoy is General Pei Min and Ru, the Jingzhao Mansion, Song Jing Shangshu and Xiao Song Shangshu also have trivia in the hall, you and General Pei Min are responsible for specific matters, do you have a strategy?"

"Well, well, even though it's just the fate of doing things? The constitution of this martial arts is that there is a plan for the ministers and the scholars? ”

"Aren't you the deputy envoy? General Pei Min is only responsible for the defense of the capital and the order of the examination room, and the specific regulations are drawn up by yourself and reviewed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War."

"So there's no specific charter yet, right?"

"No" the saint is very neat.

"Okay, let's say a few words first, and I hope that all the ministers and monks will be upright" Dugu Xinci is very depressed, and you have a little bit of rules? Is it good now, nothing?

"First of all, the meaning of this martial arts? Of course, it is to select suitable talents for the country, which is naturally no problem, right? ”

Everyone nodded.

So how do you select the right people? In the past, martial arts were all classified and screened, archery, riding, strength, who shot accurately, and the weight of lifting was on the list, which is of course good, but it is best to say that this talent is best selected in actual combat"

"Actual combat, you let them fight each other?" Song Jingshang asked.

"Don't they all like to fight? Then let them have a good time" Dugu Xin said with a smile, and everyone also thought it was funny, and everyone knew about the chaos in the capital these days.

"There must be casualties in a fight, martial arts is not a battlefield, if you don't limit the casualties, I'm afraid that no one will dare to compete?" Zhang Jiazhen shook her head.

"Limit the dead and wounded? If you're afraid of death, you don't have to participate in martial arts? To participate in the martial arts, you must first sign a life and death certificate, and life and death are determined in the ring," Dugu Xinci said with a smile.

"Yes, those who are afraid of death do not have to participate in martial arts, and a certain selection of talents is not to select people who are greedy for life and afraid of death," Zhang said Xianggong echoed Dugu Xinci's statement.

"What do you mean is to set up a ring for the martial artists to compete, and the winner will advance?" The sage pondered a little taste and came out.

"The saint is wise, the winner advances, and the loser goes home" Dugu Xinci hurriedly complimented.

"What do you think?" The saint asked his ministers again.

"I think it's feasible, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, who knows who is higher in martial arts?" Yu Wenrong, the new Chinese secretary, seconded the proposal.

"Of course, martial arts are judged by the level of martial arts, and you can know it by a competition, so it is the best" Du Xian, the new Huangmen squire, was also a militant who was also the deputy capital protector of Anxi.

"Some think it is feasible" even the conservative source Qianyao Xianggong agrees.

"I'm a little confused, there are magicians, warriors, and knights in this martial arts, how do you let them compete? Sorcerer vs. Knight? Knight vs. Warrior? Song Jing asked.

"Originally, according to the rules of the battlefield, it was normal for a sorcerer to fight a knight, and a knight to fight a samurai, who would have any scruples about this or that when they came to the battlefield? However, after all, martial arts is a grand event not a battlefield, a certain class can be given first, this magician first competes with the magician, the knight also fights the knight first, and the warrior also competes first, so that the one who can enter and exit the list can be selected, but in the end, it is still necessary to decide the top sixteen, the top eight, the top three and so on, so let them fight, anyway, there are a lot of fights between the magicians and the warriors in the rivers and lakes."

"Jianghu?" Everyone was puzzled.

"That's the collective name of the world of these Yan Tang sect warrior rangers, a random name," Dugu Xinci explained.

"Okay, Jianghu? It's quite vivid, do you think this strategy is feasible? The sage asked.

Everyone nodded, they discussed for a long time without results, and now there is a thunderstorm, so it doesn't matter if you follow this strategy.

"A certain need to plan the rules of the competition, this is the first time that Kaiyuan has tried the new rules of martial arts, the so-called every inch of thought, must be the rules for the next time, and a certain person still needs to listen to the specific strategy of Dugu Beijia first" Song Jing is Fangzheng, even if he is no longer the prime minister, he is also rigorous.

"Okay, let's talk about it, uh, how many people have declared to participate in the martial arts competition now?" Dugu Xinci asked.

"Eight thousand eight hundred and seventy-five people," replied Xiao Song, the secretary of the military department, and this roster was reported to the military department first.

"Hey, that's all that?" Dugu Xinci blinked, pondered for a moment and said:

"First of all, you need to have a little bottom in your heart, which martial arts are most likely to be in the ranks, well, how many people are going to be released in this section?"

"What do you think?" The sage asked with a smile, it seems that this county magistrate of Wannian County has not only been touring the mountains and rivers in the past few days, but has also thought about a lot of problems.

"There were 333 people in the last year's system, and the martial artists were short-tempered, and I thought that a few more people should be released, so as not to make trouble, and it would be a good thing for a few more people to serve the country."

Everyone had no intention of commenting, a few more people and a few fewer people could not be divided into six parts, which was a matter of the Sixteen Guards and Soldiers.

"Then how much does the Marquis of Far East think is appropriate?" General Cheng Boxian asked.

"Uh, it's a certain calculation, hmm, five hundred and ninety-six, right?" Dugu replied.

"Five hundred and ninety-six? What does this number say? "The saint also came to be interested.

"There is a draft, say it and let you axe it, the name of this registration has not yet been understood, but a certain speculation, in this registered martial arts, the samurai must be the most, six or seven percent should have, the knight is the least, one or two percent?"

"Almost," Xiao Songshang nodded.

"Then let's choose according to this ratio, knights choose sixty-four, sorcerers choose one hundred and twenty-eight, warriors choose two hundred and ninety-four, martial arts, five hundred and ninety-six?" Dugu Xinci explained.

Everyone nodded, this ratio and the registration ratio were like, only the statement that there were more than 500 martial arts lists was scoffed.

"Well, five hundred and ninety-six will be five hundred and ninety-six," the sage clapped.

"What about your format? Trying out the ring? If it is one-on-one, a game is decided, and the difference between strength and weakness is too great, such as the person in the Junyan list, isn't it unfair to its opponent? If the lottery is drawn, it will be a loss to draw two people from the Junyan list together and eliminate either one? Song Jing muttered again.

"So you want to develop a relatively fair and just format? Of course, there is no absolute fairness, just try to avoid the situation of strong and strong encounters in the primary," Dugu Xinci explained.

"Then you can tell me about this fair and just format, right?" And the saint commanded.

"Well, I think that this martial arts can be divided into three stages, one stage is the audition, that is, the selection of 596 martial arts, the second stage is called the elimination round, that is, the selection of 56 finalists, and the third stage is called the final stage, to determine the champion and runner-up; This first stage is called the battle of the list, the five hundred and ninety-six martial arts are called the emperor list martial arts, the fifty-six decided in the knockout round are called the royal fifty-six, and the last battle is called the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City. ”

Everyone was noncommittal, and Dugu Xinci continued.

"The first thing is to select the seeded players, and the so-called seeded players are the players who are most likely to enter the finals. Or do you want to draw? ”

The sage beckoned, let people carry out a big case, Dugu Xinci laid out a four-foot large rice paper, and now wrote eight thousand eight hundred and seventy-five people below.

"Let the Knights' Association, the Samurai Association, and the Sorcerer's Guild recommend four knights, twelve samurai, and eight sorcerers as seeded players, and they don't need to participate in the first stage of the audition, but only join the competition in the last round of the second stage of the elimination round. These 24 martial arts players are automatically qualified for the list, which will allow the three associations to play a role in actively participating in martial arts matters, and also allow some recognized masters to have a moment of rest, and most importantly, to prevent some of the second-best masters from encountering these top masters, so that they can go further"

"The first stage of the audition is called a group ring competition, first divide more than 8,000 test martial arts into multiple groups, such as divided into two hundred and eighty-eight, each group is thirty-two people, the last group is not satisfied, the first group of the ring competition, eliminate twenty-two, each group of ten remaining so that there are two thousand nine hundred and eighty people, each group also elects a champion, the remaining nine people can challenge other groups of champions, each person has three chances, three times are regarded as elimination, the defeated champion also has two chances, so that you can test the vision of these martial arts, Let him choose opponents who are weaker than himself, so that in the end, two of each group will be selected, that is, five hundred and ninety-six Emperor List Martial Artists."

"This group is also set up according to the ratio of the three professions, thirty-two groups of knights, one hundred and ninety-two groups of samurai, and sixty-four groups of sorcerers."

"Then enter the brutal knockout stage, or two hundred and eighty-eight champions, first let two hundred and eighty-eight second choice rings compete, each person has two chances, and finally select two hundred and eighty-eight people"

Dugu Xinci wrote and painted while narrating, and the saints and ministers did not intervene, perhaps because they had nothing to say at all, and they were all the first to hear of such a complicated and novel competition system.

Moreover, it separates the classification of the three occupations, and the number is almost instantaneous.

"Of the two hundred and eighty-eight advanced players, there are thirty-two knights, one hundred and ninety-two samurai, and sixty-four sorcerers."

"At this stage, twenty-four seeded players have to join, do you have any questions about this format?" Dugu Xinci asked with a smile, it was a proud thing to be watched by the Yantang elites.

To the predecessors benefit the descendants, love is all without my affection.

The rules are predetermined, and the sixth family is peaceful.
