Chapter 231: Venting Fire
“yu~~”
A tall and sturdy Hexi horse rushed towards Wei Chen like a gust of wind, almost grazing the tip of Wei Chen's nose and stopped.
Wei Chen involuntarily leaned back, took a few steps back, and after confirming that the horse had stopped, he looked at Gu Tingye who was turning over and dismounting angrily: "Zhong Huai, are you trying to kill me!" ”
Gu Tingye folded the horsewhip and threw it to the stone on the side, and then snorted softly: "Hit it and pull it down!" Save you, a black-hearted official, from using our subordinates as cattle and horses. ”
Wei Chen saw Gu Tingye pulling a face, obviously in a bad mood, just after a little thought, he immediately understood the reason, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Dare to complain to me!
The origin of Gu Tingye's resentment has to start with Wei Chen's order to lift the curfew.
After the curfew was lifted, the people of Yuzhou were happy because there was a place for entertainment; Yuzhou merchants are also happy, because there is business to do; The Yuzhou Prefecture was even happier because the taxes had been credited to the account.
Everyone in Yuzhou City was happy, but it was Gu Tingye, who was in charge of the security of Yuzhou City, who was suffering.
The original intention of setting up the curfew is to prevent fire and theft, to facilitate the management of the city, and now the curfew is lifted, the city of Yuzhou is brightly lit at night, and the flow of people everywhere is like weaving.
In places with many people, all kinds of chicken and dog troubles will also increase, plus the people of Yuzhou have just experienced an epidemic, and the mood is excited, and the incidents of fights and brawls are also endless.
There are only a few hundred people under Gu Tingye's hands, and they are also responsible for guarding and patrolling various major roads in Yuzhou, and there are only about 200 people left to stay in Yuzhou City to maintain law and order, even if they are all scattered, it is not enough for tens of thousands of people in the city to stuff their teeth.
During the days when the curfew was lifted, Gu Tingye led his men and horses to run back and forth in the city, dealing with all kinds of emergencies.
In contrast, Wei Chen only needs to sit in the state office to have a large amount of taxes in his account, and he still has time to wander leisurely in the street market, and his life is simply not too comfortable.
Gu Tingye was really angry about this, so he almost pointed at Wei Chen's nose and scolded him for being a dog official.
Seeing Gu Tingye's resentful gaze at him, Wei Chen was actually very helpless in his heart.
There is no way, for the joy of the people of Yuzhou, for the recovery of Yuzhou's economy, and for the growth of Yuzhou's taxes, ...... can only take care of Erlang again.
It's a big deal, I'll take care of it!
Of course, it is a meal to be scolded less, Wei Chen is a governor of the state, and he also wants to save face.
Seeing that Gu Tingye's anger value was about to explode, Wei Chen hurriedly coughed lightly, and asked Zhengse, "Is it fighting again?" ”
"Hurt four."
Gu Tingye was really distracted and replied worriedly.
He is not surprised that Wei Chen can predict the prophet, the people of Yuzhou have been at home for several months because of the epidemic and have not gone out, and the honest people who keep their duty have become powder kegs, basically just a little bit, quarrels and fights are very common.
And with the resumption of the Jun porcelain trade, merchants from all over the Great Zhou poured into Yuzhou City, and these outsiders clashed with the locals because of differences in customs, habits, languages, etc., and there was more than one bloodshed.
Wei Chen and Gu Tingye have also caught a few typical examples, but they are still useless, this is the side effect of Yuzhou becoming an important commercial town, and the sequelae of the end of the epidemic collide together, and it is difficult to completely solve it for a while.
Therefore, when Wei Chen heard Gu Tingye say that he had injured four more people, he also shook his head helplessly, and ordered: "Arrest all those who do it, let them squat in the state prison for two days to calm down, and in addition to compensating for the consultation fee and medicine fees, they will also pay another fine to the state government." ”
Gu Tingye rolled his eyes and said: "The state prison has long been full, and there are only a few cells in Mixian and Xinzheng, so I have no place to place these people." If you really can't do it, let them live in your Zhizhou-sama's house! ”
"That's ......"
Wei Chen smiled awkwardly, but he was thick-skinned, and thought about it seriously: "In the final analysis, the fire in Yuzhou City is too strong right now, and we have to find a way to let these people vent their anger." ”
"Venting fire?"
Gu Tingye was slightly stunned when he heard this, and many exciting pictures that were not suitable for children suddenly appeared in his mind.
"What do you think, I'm talking about serious venting!" Wei Chen saw that Gu Tingye's eyes were gradually aiming towards his lower three paths, and he quickly coughed lightly, pulling him back from his cranky thoughts.
Wei Chen Zhengse said: "I am going to hold a Keju competition in Yuzhou, so that this anger that has nowhere to go can be eliminated in the competition, so as to reduce those meaningless disputes." ”
"Keju?"
Gu Tingye scratched his head and said suspiciously: "Xingyun, Yuzhou is not Bianjing, there are not so many people with good footwork here." The merry eyes were erected in the middle of the field, and there were few who could kick one out of ten feet. ”
Wei Chen immediately said: "What kind of romantic eyes, just install the goals on both sides!" ”
The juju that Gu Tingye said was the kind he played with Wei Chen and the Sheng brothers when he was in Yangzhou.
A three-foot high pole is set up in the center of the court, and a wooden board is erected on it, and the hole in the center of the wooden board is the goal, which is also known as the wind eye.
To put it simply, this sport is probably similar to kicking a football into the basketball hoop of Wei Chen's previous life.
Such a game is mostly performative, with little confrontation, and the viewer is unlikely to have an adrenaline rush.
In the past, Wei Chen was still young and his muscles were not strong, so it was just a matter of playing this kind of entertainment game, but now Wei Chen is ready to let those brave and ruthless people in Yuzhou City come to participate, of course, they have to play a more intense version.
In the Han Dynasty, Keju was a serious training technique, even in the Tang Dynasty, Keju was also a popular fierce sport in the army, where it was as soft as now, and it looked boring.
Wei Chen intends to transform the rules of Keju into a more confrontational modern football, and Wei Chen has a blueprint in his head for the specific rules, which can be sorted out effortlessly.
The rules must be simple and direct, even illiterate people can quickly adapt to the rules under the explanation of others, so as to popularize the sport and achieve the purpose of Weichen to let Yuzhou "vent fire".
Of course, when Wei Chen launched this version of Keju, it was impossible for him to tell others that it was something in his memory of his previous life, but to cover it up by following the ancient law.
Retro is an eternal topic of Confucianism, and there will never be less words like restoring the "rule of three generations".
Wei Chen was naturally dismissive of this.
If you really want to be retro, you should go back to the tree to be a primitive person who drinks blood, that is the real retro school.
But this is the political correctness of the times, and when Weichen wants to launch something new, he must also use it to whitewash.
Including putting forward the strategy of harnessing water and attacking sand, if you want to convince the world, Wei Chen must also find a theoretical basis that can be climbed from the pile of old papers.
Fortunately, Wei Chen has no books and no books, and he has long been from "Hanshu? "River Canal Chronicles" found such a sentence: the water is down, and the disease is scraped off, and it becomes empty and slightly deeper.
The truth of this sentence coincides with the principle of harnessing water and attacking sand.
Now Weichen wants to change the rules of Keju, and the same is true.
Not innovative, only retro.
Anyway, the Keju movement during the Tang Dynasty was a double goal, and Wei Chen said that he was a slight improvement on the basis of the Tang Dynasty Keju, and it was easier for the public to accept.
