Chapter 150: Song Dutou Training
A few little beggars huddled on a street corner as if to catch lice, the weather was much warmer, and the Bianliang in spring became more and more lively.
A few soldiers patrolling the streets shouted at a few little beggars, telling them to get out of here and go to the porridge shack in Dongcheng to drink porridge, so as not to affect the appearance of the city and annoy people next to this Taixue.
A few little beggars scolded and ran away, bypassing a rather large inn and heading straight for Dongcheng. The inn is not yet finished, and it looks simple and ordinary. But the people around know that this is a welfare inn built by Gao Yu and His Majesty the Emperor with the dividends of the last forbidden army camp horse race!
In the future, once every three years, scholars from poor families can apply for free food and accommodation in this Bianliang Taixue Welfare Inn through the local Xuegong Xuezheng! If you win the jinshi, it is said that there will be a scholarship!
After entering the Taixue Juzi, it is said that there are also scholarships for those with excellent grades and profound knowledge, and for a while, the scholars and students who were originally angry about the military camp horse racing and the gambling of the monarchs and ministers were suddenly a little confused.........
Some continued to ridicule the courtiers and scolded Gao Yu, while others praised it...... It's more about whether they can get some benefits or eat and drink for nothing.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Yu actually announced that the Bianliang Forbidden Army wanted to continue these good deeds and His Majesty the Emperor's care for the people...... A South City barracks and school grounds were put in order and used for the charity betting Jockey Club all year round!
The specific operation is supervised by the internal government, and the daily maintenance is jointly supervised by the Sanya and Kaifeng governments......
All of a sudden, Bianliang exploded, and the people laughed and scolded, ridiculed, grateful, and puzzled, and as a result, Kaifeng Mansion came out to announce that the Jockey Club officially started on the first day of April!
In the future, the charity Marseille will be held once a month, and everyone can pay 100 yuan to send knights to apply for the competition! 1,000 yuan in prize money for first place! But they also have to pay 20% of the charity tax to help the people and reward students......
There was an uproar, but what everyone didn't expect was that Gao Yu immediately dropped a second bombshell with the help of Kaifeng Mansion...... Everyone, everyone can place a bet on a horse at the Charity Betting Club, and the Club will issue a ticket!
The number of horses on the ticket and the amount of bets varied, and everyone can participate in the small and big ...... And if you win, you don't have to pay taxes!
Every month, the government will come to the Jockey Club to check the accounts, and then take out 40% of the entire income for charity porridge sheds, orphans and old people's charity halls, as well as scholarships, scholarships, and inns and other good deeds......
For a while, everyone, including those direct ministers, Qing officials, and students, and the common people were all dumbfounded, is this Wen Tianwu and the monarchs messing around, or is it a serious student to benefit the people?
In a word...... A group of teenagers quietly entered the Nancheng military camp, which is now the Jockey Club, and a printing workshop also moved in, next to a huge account room.
The door of the big account room was all opened, and then a huge hall was built, and there were ten windows with signs hanging on them, and a wooden board was left next to it to note the specific information of the horse owner and the knight plus the horse, and there was a row of bookkeepers and blank horse tickets in the window...... Just wait for someone to come and buy it, and then stamp the amount and collect the cash.
Gradually, there are more than 20 days to go...... Gao Yanei bore the brunt of the first to register with a hundred yuan! Then one after another, a few more boys who were rampant and domineering on weekdays tried to sign up......
At night, Gao Yu looked at his half-stupid and half-crazy son suspiciously...... "Ping'er, you were the first to sign up?" ”
"Yes, Daddy! Daddy opened a gambling house, how could he not go to the party? ”
"What the hell are you fart, Lao Tzu runs a charity horse club, what kind of gambling house? Where did you find a good horse? It is said that now the price of Bianliang's good horses has skyrocketed overnight, are you stealing money again? ”
Gao Yanei was stunned for a moment: "What horse?" Isn't it just a matter of signing up? Isn't there a horse in the house......"
Gao Yu's eyes were so angry that his eyes darkened: "Rebel...... This is the real Marseille, losing a hundred times is small, and being embarrassed is a big thing! You're ......."
Gao Yanei hurriedly dodged a few steps, and said urgently: "Isn't there a good horse in Daddy's forbidden army?" That's a good horse that can win the Western Army, just give your son a few horses......"
"Fuck you! It was the military horse of the Forbidden Army, with a brand on the back of the butt...... Besides, it's charity horse racing! Compare the horses of the forbidden army with them, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person......"
Gao Yanai thought for a while: "That...... It's a big deal to lose one. ”
Bianliang was extremely lively this spring with Gao Yu's efforts, and Gao Taiwei was in the limelight for a while.
And the township soldiers who had been recuperating in Qingshan Village for half a year suddenly lined up and drove out of the cottage to march.
Some ordinary people around are talking about it, is Song Dutou going to send troops to suppress bandits? Song Wen didn't appear, and it was Li Erlang who led the team. Even Li Yan didn't come out with the team. A total of more than 90 soldiers of the Qingshan Battalion walked onto the official road with shields on their backs, waist knives and spears.
It is said that they were going out to practice the march, and the team was followed by ten carts, which were full of heavy grain and grass. More than 100 people swaggered through the village and town to the northeast of Taoshan County.
Song Wen was not in Taoshan County at all, and three days ago, Song Wen came to the Daimyo's Mansion with An Chun and the guards of the four Qingshan Battalions......
In the backyard of a trading house, Song Wen was holding an account book and looking at it carefully, and a shopkeeper who ran out of Wazi Street with Song Wen next to him was cautiously accompanied.
"Yes, it is a great achievement to store enough grain and envelop these big landlords to get used to selling grain to us! It's okay to have a normal banquet and drink, just do what you like and stabilize them......"
An Chun pushed the door in, then looked at the guards guarding Song Wen's men in the two corners, and then walked over quickly and bowed: "Lang Jun, the messenger from the north is back......"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down and said goodbye, Song Wen got up to see him off, turned around and whispered, "Is there any news?"
An Chun nodded: "In addition to the news, there is also a letter!"
Song Wen took a letter tightly sealed with beeswax and opened it and quickly looked at it...... Then he laughed: "Hahahaha...... It's done! We and the second caravan of the Wang family handed over to that man's caravan in the north, and the twenty carts of Tiandichun and thirty carts of other goods have been taken away by his caravan! ”
An Chun said with a little anxiety: "Brother, we only received half of the payment, if that person ...... He...... If he doesn't settle the money, we'll lose it in vain! ”
Song Wen waved his hand: "That's impossible...... He's a smart guy and knows how profitable it really is! This is a steady stream of good business, this soju can be sealed and stored for decades or hundreds of years without spoiling good wine, Lao Tzu does not worry about selling! If he didn't buy it, Lao Tzu would sell it to the Tanguts, to the Tibetans, and even to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom......"
An Chun sneered: "Brother, the big ships that can run the sea route are all in the south...... In addition, we don't know the way of the Xixia thieves! ”
Song Wen suddenly turned around and patted An Chun's shoulder: "We will all have these in the future, be confident!"
An Chun smiled, Song Wen pondered for a while, then wrote a letter, sealed it, and handed it to An Chun...... "Hurry up, send someone back to your hometown, and tell Li Yan and Erlang...... Expand armaments and prepare to take down Daqingshan in its entirety! Let people go to Bianliang, Tokyo, to deliver a message to Lin Chongxian's brother...... Let's just say that his brother is going to really start a war with the thieves, let him come over to help kill the thief and make meritorious contributions! ”
An Chunxi raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists: "The last general will be ordered!"
Seeing An Chun running out with a smoke, Song Wen scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu is a big fart, you still dare to call yourself the last general?"
An Chun's voice came from afar...... "We all believe that my brother will definitely be a generalissimo who stands up to the sky and the earth in the future......"
