Chapter 447: Horse Racing
Zou Ji sarcastically admonished the king of Qi, and the ultimate goal achieved through Bimei was to mobilize the masses to deal with the doctor. King Qi Wei is very smart, it seems that he is directing the spearhead to himself, but in fact, he suppressed the doctor, this operation is enough to make him one of the emperors of the feudal era, and his political skills are very mature.
Achieving one's goals on the premise of stabilizing the country was rare in the Warring States period.
But it's not clear whether this is King Qi Wei's own idea, and there must be the shadow of Zou Ji behind it. Zou Ji is also very good as the minister of state, in the era of King Qi Wei, Qi has a faint tendency to become the strongest country, and it seems that it is possible to dominate again.
It's a pity that the era of hegemony has passed, and now is the era of annexation, and the Qi State still lacks courage. Lacking the courage to be targeted by the world, he is worried that other countries will join forces to deal with Qi.
"Let's go, there's a horse race today, let's go see the horse race." Yun Yao wandered around the street and finally decided to go to the horse race.
King Qi likes horse racing, and often organizes princes and ministers to race horses together, but his horses are carefully selected, and the minister's horses are selected from the remaining horses selected by King Qi, which must not be comparable to King Qi.
That's why there is Tian Ji horse racing, with the weakest and strongest ratio, with the strongest and the middle ratio, the middle and the weakest ratio, and finally two wins in three games, Tian Ji turned defeat into victory for the first time. And this victory also led to Sun Bin, a great military strategist with a strong will.
There are also a lot of people outside the racecourse, and many people are not here to see the horse races, but to gamble.
"I didn't expect the current atmosphere in Linzi to become like this, King Qi didn't set a good example." Xia Ji thinks that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.
"People have money, a large tolerance for error, and naturally play wild. If the Qi State was as poor as the Qin State, there would definitely not be such an atmosphere. One side of the water and soil nourishes one side of the people, and one side of the people forms one side of the customs. Yun Yao felt that King Qi's behavior was completely in line with the economic foundation of Qi State.
It's just that the Qi State would not have thought of the rise of the violent Qin, nor would it have thought that the Qin State would want it all, and it didn't want to continue to retain the feudal system at all, and it didn't expect that the wheel of history would be ruthlessly crushed by.
In fact, except for the Qin State, which had a clear strategic goal in the later period, the other six countries did not put forward a general strategy, they all saw the opportunity to act, they could extort a little, and it didn't matter if they couldn't blackmail, they didn't want to change and just wanted to maintain the status quo. Moreover, the traveler class of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period also thought that no country could become bigger, and once a country became bigger, the travelers would lobby everywhere to find a way to beat the big country down.
Because only if the Seven Kingdoms continue to maintain their intricate relations, the Travelers will have the opportunity to obtain gold treasures and visit the country from place to place.
In short, it was advantageous for the monarchs of the six kingdoms and the nomadic class to maintain seven states. It's a pity that the Qin State did not pay attention to martial virtues, and formulated a detailed strategy, and finally annexed the Six Kingdoms and achieved the achievements of the First Emperor.
The racecourse was full of people, and they were not eye-catching, just looking around. It is said that it is a horse race, but it is actually a carriage, because there is no saddle, and the horse can only stand in the back of the car to control it.
After Zhao Guohu rode and arched, after changing his costume, there was a horse riding project.
"They're all good horses." Yun Yao knew that the horses were better fed than humans, as well as eggs and meat.
In order to breed the best horses, eggs and meat are a must. There are no complete herbivores in the world, even cattle, sheep and horses will eat meat, such as chicks, chicks and so on.
Herbivores don't eat meat, but they can't eat meat, but the horses in the royal racetrack are all the strongest, and the feed is also the best, and adding eggs to the forage can help the horses absorb nutrients, make the horse's fur more colorful, and more powerful.
These are what Yun Yao learned from the senior horse man after the crossing, although the crossing comes with a lot of knowledge, but Yun Yao does not know everything, in the time after the crossing, she is also constantly learning new things, knowing that horses are not completely vegetarian. I have to sigh at the experience of the working people, who have mastered a lot of knowledge through observation and study that the travelers do not know.
"Do you want to bet?" A slender bearded man came over and asked, he saw that Yun Yao and the five people were extraordinary, and they must all be rich, so he took the initiative to introduce the rules of horse racing: "As long as you bet on it, you can win money, you see this is the odds." "Take out a piece of silk cloth, which is full of Qi characters.
Each country has its own language and script, with its own weights and measures. Yun Yao has not been to Qi for nearly a hundred years, and found that he is illiterate, and these Qi characters have changed a lot.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was true that if you did not travel around the world for a few years, you would become illiterate, and the languages of all countries were developing, constantly innovating and adding new words.
Yun Yao was an old antique and didn't know these fresh Qi words, so she blinked and didn't react.
"The guest can't read? It's okay, listen to me read it to you. There are so many illiterates in this world, so the bearded man didn't care, and immediately read the odds clearly, and by the way, he also introduced the names of the seeded players.
The names of these horses are all written in new words, and they don't know what they mean, and they all have a hard time sounding.
Yun Yao thought to herself, should she go to Qin to help Qin Shi Huang unify? Otherwise, it would be too troublesome, and Yun Yao didn't mind promoting reunification for her own convenience.
“…… How, do I place a bet? ”
Following the customs, Yun Yao took out ten knife coins and put them in the other party's tray: "Just bet on Yulu's batch of horses, ten knife coins." ”
"No problem." Although ten knife coins is not much, as long as you open a bet, you will definitely increase your investment. The bearded man has seen too many people who are more and more addicted to gambling, and he said: "As long as you win, you will have thirty knife coins, and I will help you remember it." You take this bamboo stick, as long as you win the bet, you can get money with the bamboo stick. ”
The other party handed over a red bamboo skewer, apparently soaked in paint, and ordinary people could not imitate it.
Simei has no interest in gambling, and only thinks that Yunyao is a waste of money.
"If gambling can make you rich, why would anyone start a gambling game? It must be because gambling is the most profitable, and gambling must be losing. You still teach us mathematical probability, don't you even understand this? "As long as Xia Ji is not used to Yun Yao, she will definitely not be used to her, and she will definitely make suggestions.
"Ten people gamble, nine people lose, and one goes bankrupt outright. Of course, I know that gambling can't get rich, and the only way to get rich is to gamble. But here you are, feel the atmosphere. Yun Yao said: "We don't want to gamble money, but to catch the thrilling emotional ups and downs when gambling." ”
Bet ten knife coins, Yun Yao shouted more fiercely than anyone else during the horse race, and people who don't know thought she had bet all her worth, otherwise why was she so excited?
If you know that Yun Yao's gambling money is only ten knife coins, you will definitely ask if it is necessary for ten knife coins?
Sun Bin is one of the people who don't know the truth, and he is also attracted by Yun Yao's heart-rending shouts. Yun Yao's bragging voice was once again useful in the racecourse, and she kept shouting the name of 'Yulu', as if her net worth and life were all entrusted to it. Yun Yao's dedication is enough to make the old gambler ashamed and the bad gambler ashamed.
Sun Bin also felt that Yun Yao must be on top, so he was so excited, and he didn't study well at a young age.
