Chapter 031: New Things
Autumn is here, and it's time for animals to mate!
There was an inexplicable excitement, which made the boys and girls in the entire Daqian capital begin to be restless.
The atmosphere of Daqian is not so serious, there will be no girls who cannot leave the boudoir without marriage, and there will be no appearance of showing up and being called debauchery.
So, the season of autumn travel is coming.
In the past, autumn outings were all about men and women, but this year, there has been a certain change, and these men and women have a new place to go.
"Speaking of which, it's a great young talent, his eyes are like a phoenix, and his eyebrows are like lying silkworms. Bright eyes are painted, sitting like a tiger when sitting, and walking like a wolf......"
A teahouse storyteller is gushing about the deeds of **.
"He is literary and graceful, not only has the grace of 'spring heart Mo co-flowers, an inch of lovesickness and an inch of gray', but also the gorgeousness of 'Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky', and there is also the heroic ...... of 'holding a bow like a full moon, looking northwest, and shooting a wolf'"
"The current famous prostitutes of the Goulan do not want to be able to obtain his poems and lyrics......"
The people below were dazzled by what they heard, oh my God, when did such a powerful person come out? Some people were shocked that the peerless verses that spread so much some time ago were actually written by him?
The storyteller took a sip of tea, continued to slap the fan, and spoke.
"It's a pity, although he is literary and charming, he doesn't like officialdom, but likes the lowly and lowly things, he likes to make money, likes to make business, and threatens to become the first businessman in Daqian."
The customers of the teahouse listened with relish, and the owner of the teahouse also smiled, but he didn't expect this new thing 'storyteller' to be so good, and he actually made his business increase by three points out of thin air.
A customer heard this and said directly to the boss: "Give him a pot of wine." ”
"Thank you, big handsome guy." The storyteller arched his hand, and then continued to tell the story: "He invented football, and at the same time set a pleasing standard for the game, and under his mobilization, there are now 12 football teams in Dujing, and recently it can be said that the game is in full swing, and many people have come to see the lively ......"
"Who is doing this in these football teams? There is Huang Ting'an, the son of the prime minister, Xu Huaiyuan, the son of the cabinet university, and Wang Dehuai, the son of the household department, and the prince Xue Dingsi, the son of the prince, who is side by side......"
"According to what I heard, our Emperor and the crown prince are very interested in this football, and they are still playing in the palace......
At this time, the customers and listeners of the teahouse were in an uproar.
"Oh my God, the Son of Heaven and the Prince both play this?"
"It's amazing."
"I also heard that there is a simple football field on the outskirts of the city, and teams play there almost every day......
"Haha, I went to see it yesterday, and it happened to be the team of the prime minister's son and the cabinet scholar's son playing, with a score of 3:3, the game is indistinguishable, it's very exciting, it's much more exciting than Keju......"
"Really? Then I'll check it out tomorrow too......"
At this time, by the window on the second floor of the teahouse, Link was watching the situation below while drinking tea with an old man in his fifties.
The old man was the former Steward Li of the Zhang family, but after the Zhang family was deceived and bankrupt by Lin Shiren, Steward Li had to leave. And now that Link is in the capital, the situation has been opened, and Grandpa Zhang has taken over Steward Li's family and become the servants of the Zhang family again.
Steward Li looked at Link with admiration on his face: "Young master, our storyteller service this month has finally opened up the situation, and the owners of those taverns and teahouses have changed their words and begged our storytellers to ......."
"Uncle Li, I'm quite satisfied with the storyteller, but try not to help brag about me in the future, it's not good to be too high-profile, try to focus on football, and the organizers of those football teams, such as Huang Ting'an and Xu Huaiyuan, and help the emperor and the prince to publicize and ......"
"Yes, young master."
Link looked at the storyteller below, to be honest, the storyteller was actually helpless, because the Great Qianchao did not have a newspaper, could not mobilize public opinion, and could not purposefully advertise for football, so Link thought of the 'storyteller' This is not a solution.
This 'storyteller' was hired and trained by Link at the beginning, and at the beginning, many tavern and teahouse owners looked down on it, and only a small number of merchants adopted it, and it proved to be very sharp.
As a result, the 'storyteller' began to become popular throughout the capital.
Soon after, a group of well-dressed teenagers came to the teahouse.
"It's ...... here," Link beckoned to them.
When the group of teenagers saw Link, they smiled and walked up, and those customers saw them go up to the second floor before they realized it: "Hey, wasn't that Young Master Huang Ting'an just now?" ”
"That's right, the others seem to be Xu Huaiyuan, Young Master Schrödings, and they......"
The people on the first floor began to discuss, and Huang Tingan and the others went up to the second floor and went straight to Link's location.
"The handsome pot is really chic......"
"Oh, don't dare to be, you are all handsome pots, you are all handsome pots......"
Under Link's many tutelage, those messy and insulting sentences began to circulate widely, such as 'big handsome pot', such as 'crush', such as 'fans', such as 'come on', such as 'lean, go, dizzy'......
After a half-baked compliment and laughter, I finally got to the point.
Link said: "I have summoned you here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you......
"Brother Zhang Ke, you say!" Everyone admired Link's intelligence.
Link said: "I think our football team can go further, and the current situation is that we play football out of our own pockets and don't score, so I want to unify these football teams and set a rule, so that everyone can earn money together, so that we can not only play, but also make money." ”
"Make money?" The crowd couldn't help but move. Although they are all the N generations of officials and the N generations of the emperor, they still don't have too much money because they have a lot of entertainment.
However, this football costs so much money and can it be profitable?
The crowd looked at Link with some anticipation.
Link explained: "Football can actually make money, and it makes a lot of money. The first is the manufacture of football itself, when football is prevalent in the Daqian Dynasty, there are many enthusiasts, supporters, fans, they will buy football to play by themselves, each football price is 10 taels, the cost is 1 tael, the huge profit is 10 times, sell 1,000 balls, is to earn 10,000 taels......"
"Is that okay?" The crowd's minds were opened.
"In addition, we can advertise, such as embroidering the logo of a certain merchant on the jersey, such as placing billboards on the field, such as players endorsing the merchant, these are big heads, very profitable...... "Link can't stop, the ancient thinking is still quite backward, so if you want to make money in ancient times, Link has hundreds of ways anytime and anywhere.
Everyone was thoughtful and quite excited.
"But will this merchant invest money?" Someone worried.
"Yes, as long as there are many people talking about it, the business will not let go of the opportunity."
Then Link talked in detail about the football association, the football league, the management of football stars, and the transfer of football stars...... A series of things,It's stupid to say a group of smart N generations.,But I also think there's a lot to be done here.。
"By the way, remember to give fifty percent of the income to the prince and the son of heaven in the future......"
Everyone nodded in appreciation.
Half a month later, the storyteller began to publicize the establishment of the football association and the official start of the football league throughout the capital, and at the same time, it also recruited merchants to join.
The crown prince openly expressed his interest in this matter, and the Son of Heaven, who was getting worse and worse, also said that it was very interesting.
All of a sudden, Kyoto was bustling with activity.
Soon, the first Daqianchao First Division Football League was grandly opened, and 12 football teams appeared with a new look.
The freshly baked host took the stage to introduce the rules of the game to the people present: adopt a points system, each team and other teams each play a game, the winner gets 3 points, the loser gets 0 points, and the draw is 1 point for both sides, and finally ranks according to the cumulative points.
And thousands of people surrounded the football field, and it was very lively.
The first day of the game was played by Huang Tingan and Schrödinger's team, because there were so many spectators in attendance, plus the bonus incentive of the team owner, so the team players played very bravely.
And the people on the sidelines were also excited and shouted cheers. And Link also arranged a water army in the audience, shouting slogans, cheering, killing them, and scoring goals...... All kinds of slogans gradually let those people learn how to shout slogans more powerfully.
The result of the game was 3:2, and Huang Ting'an won.
After the game, the storytellers began to talk enthusiastically about the atmosphere of football in various places in teahouses and taverns according to the method taught by Link, and many people in the audience were itching.
On this day, the entire topic of Dujing was occupied by the first game of today's football league, and you are embarrassed to chat with people if you don't talk about a football game.
Seeing such a boom, those businesses also began to value the commercial value of football, and agreed to pay for advertising in the football team, and the first income went into the pockets of each team.
In the following days, a game was held every day in the football stadium outside the city, and more and more people participated in watching and discussing the game.
The 12 football teams also began to have more and more fans at this time, and those fans, under the intentional guidance of the storyteller, formed a fan group, and began to cheer for their favorite team at the game site together.
This autumn, the whole of Kyoto was brought to life by football.
