Chapter 982 I hit it off with Zong Ze at first sight, and the Supreme Emperor recommended talents for the country

As far as the venue is concerned, this racecourse, which has been built for less than half a year, is still very rough.

In the middle is a circle of concave tracks, surrounded by high platforms, which are paved layer by layer, and seats are set up. The best view is set up in a private room.

But this venue has a capacity of [-] people, but it is full every day. If it is not for the reserved box space, it is impossible to get in. It is really extremely hot.

What Lin Yuanjing entered was not a private room. The people in the private room were all officials and dignitaries. They paid attention to their own image and would not shout like ordinary audiences. On the contrary, he preferred the atmosphere of the market, so he chose a high platform to stand down.

At this time, the horse race has not officially started, and the field is already noisy. Many people come and go, shouting loudly:
"Sell fruit! Sell candied fruit! Sell candied haws!"

"Lottery lottery ticket, No. [-] of this issue is the seed. I have had close contact with His Majesty's dragon colt. If you buy it, you won't be fooled. If you don't bet, you will definitely regret it!"

"Do you want tomorrow's seat? There are three-person seats and five-person seats..."

The hawkers selling snacks are busy without touching the ground. The most popular one is selling lottery tickets, which are actually gambling handicap, but it is not popular to call it that way now.

Of course, there are also idlers who come early to occupy the seats. This is the hardest thing to pass. It’s useless if they can’t get in, especially those who have made a bet. Who wants to wait for news outside the venue?
If these are still within the scope of normal business, then Lin Yuanjing's expression changed when he heard the next voice: "Telescope, do you want a telescope? Thousands of hectares of colored glaze... The jade is wide, the mirror is thousands of miles... That... That ...Looking in the illusion, standing on the stage, each Maxima can see clearly!"

Lin Yuanjing turned his head suddenly, and saw a short man yelling, picking out the well-dressed audience, his eyes were furtive, and his hands were on his waist, as if he was really hiding something good.

Just as Lin Yuanjing was about to signal to the guards on the left and right, he heard a burly middle-aged man not far away snorting coldly: "Nonsense, binoculars are no better than the glasses used by literati, and private trading is never allowed, as long as they are smuggled out. It's also impossible to sell it here... I can't even memorize a line of poetry, this is an idler who wants to cheat his property, is he in a hurry to lose his horse betting? Just go to the Great Wall to calm down!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the guards of the racetrack rushed out and grabbed the idler: "Take him down!"

Everyone watched coldly, and the idle man suddenly changed color: "Fake, fake, I just want to change some money to buy lottery tickets...Ah!!"

Amidst the screams all the way, the red-eyed gambler was dragged down, and the audience shook their heads, and quickly turned their eyes back to the horse racing below. Only Lin Yuanjing looked at the middle-aged man with admiration and hugged him. Clasped fists: "Brother Tai's quick response and accurate judgment!"

The middle-aged man returned the gift with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, this happened more than once. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry has invented more and more conveniences for the people, so there are more and more thieves like this. It’s rare to be fooled, let alone the states and counties..."

Just as they were talking, amidst the long sound of horns, twelve racehorses entered the stalls and began to prepare. The lottery ticket seller waved his arms even more excitedly, and the audience also bought one after another.

Lin Yuanjing is actually not very interested in this. He taught his son and his family not to be obsessed with gambling before, and it is the same now. A martial arts practitioner like him has amazing self-control, but looking at the side The man said with great interest: "Brother, which horse has the most potential to be the champion? How about No. [-], I heard that he has contact with Longju!"

The middle-aged man laughed boldly: "Don't pay attention to such lies, Your Majesty's dragon horse likes to travel the most. As long as they run behind, they will be boasted as close contact. I will never buy this kind of horse, for sure. Can't hit!"

The person next to him who bought No. [-] immediately changed his color and cast blank eyes one after another.

Fortunately, the racecourse was too noisy and not many people heard it. Seeing that this man was very powerful, he didn't come up to fight and scold him after all. He just muttered a few words in a low voice: "Bah, what a bad luck!"

Lin Yuanjing secretly laughed, and continued to ask: "Who did you choose?"

The middle-aged man raised the lottery ticket in his hand: "I choose No. [-], the Hexi horse. After all, the Xixia horse is not comparable to the Central Plains horse. This time, the tribute is even better. That horse has a greater chance of winning the first prize!"

Of course Lin Yuanjing knew that after his son ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Xixia envoys presented Wanyan Aguda's second son Wanyan Zongwang as a vassal.

Yan Ting accepted Wanyan Zongwang and also agreed to accept Xixia as a vassal state.

The strategic plan at the national level will not change. The two elite troops reorganized by the Zhao Songxi Army are still practicing all day long on the Shaanxi border.

But since Xixia is so humble, bowing his head and proclaiming himself a vassal, there is no need to push it to the Jin Kingdom now. After all, no matter how weak the country formed by this party member is, it is still a force.

When the news came back, Li Qianshun was overjoyed. Taking advantage of Yan Ting's prestige, he pretended to be a tiger in various ministries in the country, so he naturally dared not refuse to comply with the request to buy horses.

Lin Yuanjing withdrew his thoughts, and said, "Not only are the officials buying horses, but now many of the private merchants in Dayan also buy horses from Xixia, and the profits are huge!"

The middle-aged man said: "What brother said is true, if the Hengshan Chamber of Commerce had not been rectified by the Taifu Temple, folk sales would have become more rampant... Oh, then the Hengshan Chamber of Commerce dared to make a fortune during the previous war against Xixia, It is still arrogant now, and finally we have to legislate against those profiteers!"

After all, Lin Yuanjing was fascinated by what he saw and heard, nodded and said: "Businessmen in the former dynasty were able to take the imperial examination and become officials. In addition to the imperial court's strong monopoly to make money, there was no correct way to guide business. There is no law prohibiting freedom. Products such as the Six Great Chambers of Commerce came into being. In the imperial court, they are intertwined, weaving a huge network of connections."

"I remember that Dr. Gongsun had to issue an order to the Empress Dowager to take action against General Hou, and all the stolen goods in the Wuyou Cave were obtained, but there was no result. In the end, it was Ming Zun who made the incident, so that he could catch everything..."

"The Chamber of Commerce is no more active than the bully in the landlord's tyrants. It must be vigorously rectified!"

The middle-aged man was moved: "Brother is very knowledgeable!"

Lin Yuanjing was embarrassed to say that this was what his son said, so he could only stroke his beard and smile.

He didn't know the current situation of the Hengshan Guild, but he knew that the Chuanxia Guild had handed over the account books related to Jiaozi to the court for rectification and review.

In fact, Li Yan adopted an equal attitude towards scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce. People of the four peoples, the pillars of the country, are very important to the country. He will not discriminate against and suppress businessmen. What he wants to ban is only the kind of monopoly chambers of commerce that want to be unprofitable.

After admiring the middle-aged man, he actually made the same remarks: "As long as the big chamber of commerce abides by the law, no one will stop it. The imperial court's revitalization of the horse administration starts with horse racing. Your Majesty is truly wise and holy!"

Lin Yuanjing smiled and said: "Everyone will be active when there are good things. This is human nature!"

In the past, Yan Ting promoted the status of the officers and men and raised the authority of the six ministries, but now the horse racing competition is held, the core of which is the same.

In the past, when the Song court only had more than a thousand horses, the subjects were not in a hurry, and all the horses they bought were used by the rich and powerful to travel. Now that the horse racing is lively, and seeing that the emperor wants to promote the horse administration, what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom, the attitude is immediately different. The wealthy and nobles began to use various channels to buy high-quality horses to show their loyalty.

The middle-aged man's eyes fell on the number nine horse he had bet on, and then he looked at number ten, showing his scrutiny: "This golden man's horse is really extraordinary, and his spirit today is three points stronger than last time, and he is a strong opponent." what!"

Lin Yuanjing was surprised when he heard the words: "The horse of the Jin man? No. [-]? We are now training horses to destroy the Kingdom of Jin. How could they sell the horse?"

The middle-aged man said: "That is indeed a new Jurchen horse. As for why the Jinren are willing to sell it... I have to ask the merchants about their methods, and see if the Jinren are as tyrannical and fierce as the rumors say... ...Look, number nine and number ten are out!"

Lin Yuanjing widened his eyes and carefully observed the Jurchen horse. He was standing at the back, and without a telescope, he really couldn't see it so clearly. He asked curiously, "Then why didn't you choose the Jurchen horse?"

The middle-aged man explained: "Horse racing is not an individual sport. In addition to the rider and the BMW, there are horsemen, veterinarians, and farriers. Only by cooperating with each other and tacit cooperation can we win the championship. There is a good horse on the [-]th Hexi." Team, the No. [-] Jurchen horse doesn't have that blessing, I don't think it can run as far as No. [-]..."

Lin Yuanjing praised sincerely: "Brother, you know a lot, and you haven't asked for advice yet?"

The middle-aged man said: "Xia Zongze, named Rulin, Wushangren in East Zhejiang, did you ask your brother Tai Gao's name?"

Lin Yuanjing didn't ask for his name before because of this difficulty. He didn't want to deceive people, but he was afraid of shocking the world if he said it. However, thinking about his reputation, he chose to hide only one word: "In Xia Linjing, Zi Shu and , from the capital."

Because Taishanghuang has a low sense of existence, he does not have high requirements for avoiding taboos. The two characters can be separated separately, but they cannot have the same name.

For example, in Li Shimin's taboo, "Shi" and "Min" are both commonly used words. At first, many people avoided taboos. In violation of the classics, there is no need to taboo those whose official titles, personal names, and public and private records have the word "Shimin" not consecutive."

Zong Ze really didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would appear on the racetrack in casual clothes, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It's Zong's luck to meet Uncle and Brother today!"

Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Lin Yuanjing heaved a sigh of relief, laughed and said, "Brother Rulin laughed, we hit it off at first sight!"

He is living a carefree life now, but he still misses the days when he was the instructor of the Imperial Army. Although few soldiers are willing to practice martial arts hard, there are also few people who are afraid. Talk to him carefully, for fear that if a word is wrong, it may cause a catastrophe.

Lin Yuanjing is quite unaccustomed to this, so he feels more comfortable on the racetrack...

And looking at Zong Ze who had a good chat with him and had a lot of insights on everything, the Supreme Emperor smiled again.

Although his life is peaceful, he can still recommend talents for the country!
