Great Tang princess

Chapter 812
I have to say that Pei Bishu had an idea.

The reason why Li Yuechen launched golf was mainly because of its effect on promoting economic development, not the sport itself.

Although I don't want to admit it, in fact there is a chain of contempt among athletes.

For extreme athletes, there is more or less a sense of pride in ordinary sports.

Although it is not enough to look down on other athletes because of this, it is just that the overall degree of danger and challenge of the event will give a sense of superiority.

Of course, Li Yuechen is also very clear that this is wrong, so he will try his best to suppress this kind of thinking in his heart, so as to get more in touch with other sports and find the fun in them.

That's why she can ride a horse, rollerblade, billiards, all kinds of different things.

Basically all sports are developed from games, and the purpose of games should be to play, not to win.

That's why it was decided to move out golf in this era, so that the emperor and ministers could have a game to play together for interaction.

On top of this, some different industries can be developed with the help of its huge economic benefits.

Take this club as an example. At that time, an equipment store can be opened in the city and let them buy clubs and other equipment.

In doing so, the economy begins to circulate.

At the same time, the store has to hire people, which means that there are a few more jobs.

When the time comes to see the stadium making money, other big families will also build such stadiums in other cities.

By analogy, there will be new jobs gradually, so that the social economy will form a virtuous circle.

But that's all for later, let's wait for the details to be settled first.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was August.

The autumn harvest is about to start, because the country is huge and the climate is different, so it will be October when the national autumn harvest is over.

Then tax statistics and other things are done, and it will be almost the end of November.

During this period of time, the household department also began to get busy, and it was getting busier every day.

Even Princess Xuancheng's off-duty time is half an hour later than usual.

But fortunately, Arabic numerals and new forms are used to keep accounts, so it is not too busy to stay on the ground.

The third day of August happened to be the closing ceremony of the World Cup. After the finals were over, it was time for the teams from all over the world to go on the road and return home for the New Year.

In this era, most of the surrounding countries used the Tang calendar, and a small part used the religious calendar.

But in any case, the World Cup is over, and they all have to return home to report their results.

At night, Li Yuechen was planning to go back after finishing his work.

However, just as he walked out of the gate of the military department, he saw Li Chongrun walking slowly with Lu Yao.

"Hey, didn't you say that you are not allowed to meet before marriage? Why are you so upright today?" Li Yuechen couldn't help but asked with a smile.

Lu Yao said somewhat shyly: "Returning to Your Highness, Grandpa said that this matter is a private decision between the two of us for life, and there is no need to completely follow the ancient etiquette..."

"Okay, I didn't expect him to be a sufficiently enlightened person." Li Yuechen nodded, "But it's almost dusk now, what are you waiting for to come to the Ministry of War?"

Only then did Li Chongrun speak, with a serious expression on his face: "Auntie, there is a problem with the game!"

"Huh?" Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows.

"In this final, I played against Dashi, but the result was three to four, and I lost." Li Chongrun said.

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen frowned all of a sudden.

Since it is a competition, it is normal to win or lose, but it is very abnormal to lose at this time.

First of all, during this period, the training of Datang players is the most perfect, and a system has been formed, which is not comparable to that of other countries.

Coupled with the fact that they eat well and sleep soundly every day, they are far behind players from other countries in terms of mental state and physical fitness. This is a gap that is visible to the naked eye.

As for Dashi, it is still a relatively poor place, and the overall gap between players cannot be compared with that of Datang players.

Now, with a big gap in all aspects, they actually lost?

But that didn't seem to be the end, Li Chongrun continued: "At the same time, after the game, my nephew found that these players didn't seem to be frustrated...a few of them even laughed on the spot."

"From this point of view, there is indeed something wrong with this competition." Li Yuechen also drooped his eyelids.

According to Li Chongrun, it is basically certain that there must be tricks in this competition.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen planned to call the bosses of various clubs tomorrow to investigate.

After saying hello, they returned to the Princess Mansion.

After entering the gate, Li Yuechen came to the main hall, saw Shangguan Wan'er and the others were there, and was about to sit down and chat, when Pei Qingwan suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, I have been placed together."

Li Yuechen was taken aback for a moment: "Being put together? What do you mean?"

"Lottery! Today's World Cup final, two people guessed the score and bet heavily. So today's lottery profit is less than 5000 yuan." Pei Qingwan said.

"It seems that what Run'er said today is true..." Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows helplessly.

Things have come to this point, and it has been confirmed that it is a match-fixing match.

But how to deal with this matter, Li Yuechen couldn't think of it for a while.

If she was just the owner of a lottery company, she would definitely not bother with this matter.

Because the anti-counterfeiting match is your own business, don't involve gaming companies.

Every year after the World Cup, there are always people queuing up on the rooftop, and some shouting that the gaming company is manipulating the game behind the scenes, and there are shady things...

But in fact, many people don't understand one thing. For large gaming companies, it doesn't matter whether the game is fake or not.

Because the bookmaker is not the bookmaker, the person who buys the ball is not betting against the bookmaker, but betting against other bettors.

In other words, no matter what the outcome of the game, the bookmaker will not lose money.

Perhaps the most is to earn less, but it will never lose.

From this standpoint, there is no need for the gaming company to manipulate the game, because once it is discovered, the entire company will be ruined.

Just like now, some people are playing fake matches, but just now Pei Qingwan also said that today's profit is still [-], and there is no loss.

The money-making model of bookmakers is very simple, and the odds given will change in real time.

Odds will be assigned to different game outcomes based on the total funds of the currently sold lottery tickets.

The result of doing this is nothing more than not making money today, but absolutely not losing money!
There may indeed be a shady existence in the game, but basically it has nothing to do with the bookmaker behind it.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the 02 World Cup.

Anyone who likes football knows exactly what happened in that World Cup.

That is, after this incident, well-known gaming companies in the world have come forward to condemn, and at the same time called for the rejection of shady.

In order to express their determination, internationally renowned large-scale gaming companies went public one after another and released their financial reports, saying that they did not manipulate the game.

……

But the problem is that Li Yuechen is not just the boss of a gaming company.

She is also the founder of this space-time football movement, and she started the World Cup trend.

At the same time, she has never forgotten her identity as an athlete in her heart. Match-fixing is one of the things she hates the most!

"Then, Your Highness, how should we deal with this matter?" Pei Qingwan asked.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will handle this matter myself!" Li Yuechen replied.

Since she said that she took care of it herself, Pei Qingwan didn't continue to say anything.

Although the gaming company did not lose money, their manipulation of the game still resulted in a lot less turnover. In Pei Qingwan's view, this was no different from extortion.

……

The next morning, the bosses of the various football clubs were notified and came to the Princess Mansion to gather.

After coming here, it was almost noon.

After waiting for a while, Li Yuechen came out with loose hair that was still wet after washing.

The owners of these football clubs were slightly taken aback, feeling that the princess's expression today was not quite right.

The usual princess has always been very easy-going, but for some reason, she always feels like she is in a bad mood today.

But no matter what, everyone still bowed obediently: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

Li Yuechen sat on his own chair: "Excuse me, everyone, please sit down."

After thanking everyone, they all sat down.

"The World Cup ended yesterday, and the result of the finals really surprised me!" Li Yuechen cut straight to the point.

Hearing this sentence, everyone looked at each other.

Many people nodded secretly in their hearts, no wonder they looked like this today, they were asking for guilt.

No one answered, Li Yuechen was not surprised, and there was no special expression on his face.

He just stretched out his hand and rubbed the teacup slowly: "Fake match-fixing, manipulating the result of the match, and earning a lot of money... You won't tell Ben Gong that you don't know about this matter, will you?"

Having said that, Li Yuechen raised his eyes slightly, and stared at the bosses in front of him with burning eyes.

The players representing Datang this year were selected from several of their clubs.

After all, Li Yuechen is not an ordinary person, not only the princess of the royal family, but also personally went to the battlefield and beheaded people of the same kind.

Being stared at by her made the bosses in front of them feel as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and couldn't help shivering.

After saying this, Li Yuechen didn't continue to speak, but kept staring at them.

A few drops of water seeped from her hair that was not yet dry, and fell on her shoulders along the ends of her hair, and she remained motionless.

I don't know if it's a bit uncomfortable to be stared at by her like this. A boss surnamed Zhao in the front row smiled awkwardly: "This, Your Highness... This matter is decided by the people below at will, and I have not issued such orders. Besides, Now in this new law, it seems that..."

After the boss spoke, the others also nodded slightly, expressing their agreement.

Li Yuechen also nodded: "Well... indeed, this matter is not in the law, so it is not considered a crime. However, playing a match-fixing game not only insults the opponent, but even insults the "gambling" itself."

Speaking of this, these bosses have no expression, as if they think that as long as they don't break the law, it's fine.

And the princess has always been very clear about rewards and punishments, so she probably won't cause trouble for them because of this matter.

Not to mention, even if you are really looking for trouble, you can directly push out the people below to act as scapegoats, and then just say that you were deceived by your subordinates.

However, Li Yuechen suddenly leaned forward, propped his chin with his hands, and showed a puzzled look: "But the saint was present in yesterday's game, right? This fake match is already deceiving the king, right?"

It is a crime of disrespect to deceive the emperor, which has existed since the Han Dynasty.

Until now, the same is true.

As soon as this sentence came out, the bosses in front of them were stunned for a moment, and Boss Zhao who had just spoken couldn't help but take two steps back.

A thin layer of sweat oozed out of several people's foreheads almost instantly.

The person on the far side could even tell that he was trembling slightly.

Seeing the performance of several people, Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows and took a look, and continued: "However, this incident, I don't plan to pursue it..."

Hearing this sentence, several people couldn't help raising their heads, waiting for her to continue.

In fact, there is no way to do this. After all, it is actually difficult to prove such things as match-fixing.

If they were arrested and tortured to extract a confession, it would be suspected that torture was a trick.

So this time, Li Yuechen decided not to blame the past, but relatively, from today on, the fight against match-fixing must be added to the law.

"However! This incident has reminded me. I called you here today to announce new regulations. Starting today, all clubs must publicly report their quarterly accounts. I will establish the Datang Football Association. All players in our country, You must be registered with the Football Association to become an official player. At the same time, the property income of individuals and immediate family members must be open and transparent..."

Listening to Li Yuechen explaining the new regulations one by one, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

After reacting, everyone in the back stared at the people in the front row.

If they hadn't messed up yesterday, I'm afraid they wouldn't have come to this point, what a bastard!
After Li Yuechen finished speaking, Boss Zhao couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, is this..."

"Ah, of course this is not mandatory. If you find it unacceptable, the club can close down. Players under the banner can be transferred to other clubs. If no one is willing to accept them, then you can go to Bengong first..." Li Yuechen looked flat .

It's all said about this, and no one dares to continue to say anything else.

After looking at each other, they all saluted to express their understanding, and they all agreed.

Li Yuechen had a considerate smile on his face: "You don't have to force it, if you don't want to, I will definitely..."

"No, no, this method is simply wonderful, and we are naturally willing to support it!" The club owners on the opposite side all said that it was a good job.

Although doing so does make it impossible for them to play match-fixing matches, everyone can see the potential of football. How could they stop doing it because of this?

What's more, at least for now, most people really haven't thought about playing fake matches, let alone now that there are regulations, it will be a real crime to play fake matches in the future!
Of course, the most relieved are the bosses in front.

If Li Yuechen didn't dwell on what happened yesterday, it was equivalent to saving their lives.This has to be expressed.

So the next day, these bosses came to the princess mansion with gifts again...
