Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 122
Time passed, and soon entered the fifth year of Zhenguan.

At the beginning of this year, apart from the inevitable scientific research every year, the most lively thing around Chang'an at the moment is the polo match.

Chang'an Bookstore, chaired by Chen Kai, more consciously promoted the polo game.

Not only bookstores, but also quaint polo posters are posted in bathhouses, inns, boiled water shops, and coal shops under Li Tai's command.

The team that won No.1 not only rewarded each person with a steed from Taipusi, Li Tai sent people to carefully forge a gold winner badge, but also participated in the dividends of the competition.

Therefore, it attracted a considerable number of social idlers, and began to recruit friends and partners to form a self-organized team to sign up for this competition.

The registration fee is quite cheap, one hundred cents for a team.

To be honest, for a person who can afford polo at this point in time, is this one hundred coins money?
As for the civilian viewing seats in the equestrian arena, they are sold at a price of five cents each.

Li Tai didn't think that many people would like this project at the beginning, and this thing cost money, so there would definitely not be too many people coming, and Li Tai didn't want those poor people to join in to play with it, so it was still Decided to charge for tickets.

Because of this polo, I definitely want to gamble, there is no way, I researched this thing myself to harvest IQ tax.

After all, it is very expensive to study forage on your own, and it is better to let those people in Chang'an who are full of food to pay for it.

The competition set up a prize pool, except that the initial [-] yuan was paid by Li Tai, and the main source of the prize pool came from gambling.

Simply put, the official lottery per person per day stops selling at the start of the game.

After the game is completed, the betting company must first pay a part of the gambling, and then divide it into three parts, one part will be accumulated in the prize pool, one part will belong to the winning team, and the other part will include taxes and horse racing profits, almost one to two to seven.

Although the accumulation is not much, after the continuous accumulation throughout the season, the accumulated money in the final prize pool is still very scary.

At least for the winning team, getting rich overnight is definitely not a dream!

As for the rules and regulations, it was naturally very rough at the beginning.

Li Tai didn't want to replenish everything at once, so he just used it. Anyway, if he was caught for kick-fixing or something, it would just be a matter of breaking his limbs and throwing him out of the field.

As the opening match of the competition, Li Tai naturally had to participate, and entered the super VIP box with Zhang Taipu.

Here you can not only watch the entire competition venue, but also have all kinds of delicious melons and fruits, as well as service staff on call.

As for him, there were two commentators holding trumpet-shaped loudspeakers.

Of course, because there is no amplification equipment, the commentators in this era are not so much about explaining the game, but more about adjusting the emotions of the crowd.

Soon, a team of cavalry in black and a team in white entered the field of play.

At this time, the commentator held a loudspeaker in his hand and said: "The two sides of the competition are the Iron Blood Team led by Duan Gui, and the Invincible Charge team led by Cheng Huailiang. The match between the two sides has officially begun!"

"Cheng Huailiang?" Li Tai looked at this overgrown guy and murmured, "The second son of Su Guogong Cheng Zhijie?"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Zhang Taipu nodded his head as a matter of course and said:

"Well! Su Guogong's second son is leading the guards left behind by Su Guogong. King Yue, do you know Su Guogong?"

"I haven't seen it, I don't know it!" Li Tai said calmly, "Where is Duan Gui, his subordinates are no worse than Cheng Chumo, so who is he?"

To be honest, Li Tai really didn't know Cheng Yaojin.

Because Cheng Yaojin was appointed by Li Shimin as an envoy in the first year of Zhenguan after the Xuanwumen Incident, the governor of Lu, Rong, and Rong, and the governor of Luzhou. He is still staying in Sichuan until now. Haven't seen it.

It's just that Cheng Huailiang, Cheng Chumo, and even Cheng Yaojin himself were the number one protectors of the traversers in the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally cared a little bit about Cheng's mansion.

As a result, he had no contact with the other party at all, and Cheng Yaojin was far away in Luzhou, Sichuan.

"Duan Gui is an elite soldier under Fan Guogong Duan Zhixuan's command. It can be said that these two people will meet each other at chess and match each other, and they will meet good talents!"

Zhang Wansui explained to Li Tai, "These two people have equal identities and a good relationship. The two also clashed in different places. In order to add luster to the first match, we arranged for these two teams to meet."

"Hmm..." Li Tai thought for a while and said, "Let's arrange a resurgence match where only the loser group will participate in the competition!"

"Resurrection match?" Zhang Taipu was stunned when he heard this, and some did not react.

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded, "All losing teams have two chances, the first time they fail, they fall into the rematch, and the second time they lose is the real failure.

In this way, if the opponent is really eliminated, it is none of our business.

After all, we have been given two chances, so if we don't perform well, it can't be because our position is not good enough!
The most important thing is that the process of the game can be longer, so that the whole schedule can be longer, and the accumulated betting points can also be more. "

Zhang Taipu frowned when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

At this moment, Li Tai stood up suddenly, because Cheng Huailiang swung the club and sent the ball flying.

But in the next second, he saw Cheng Huailiang, who had already slowed down, suddenly increased his speed again, without starting to charge, the horse's speed exploded at this moment, and caught up with the shot.

Cheng Huailiang made a swing, causing the ball to change course halfway and directly into the goal!
For a moment, Li Tai was stunned, this, this... this is unscientific!

Zhang Taipu looked at the scene in front of him, nodded his head as a matter of course, and said:

"The boy from Su Guogong's family seems to have a good foundation. He has successfully melted this skill into his instincts in charge without starting. Let him come out in the future and he can directly become a centurion!"

"Zhang...Zhang servant, how did Cheng Huailiang catch up with the ball hit just now!" Li Tai expressed his incomprehension!
Zhang Wansui said: "Su Guogong is not the best at three-axes, but his ability to open up the battlefield is very strong.

That's why he developed the technique of non-starting charge, which can burst out the highest damage in an instant.

Basically, as long as the enemy is a little bit careless, basically one ax.

And there is no starting charge, which originally only has a rapid burst of tricks.

Later, Su Guogong developed a three-stage charge without a start, and with his Xuanhua axe, it is rumored that there is no situation that he cannot open. "

Li Tai nodded, but then recalled, "But there is no starting charge, it should be the talent of the war department.

There must be at least 500 talents in the war department to maintain it!But how many people are there in the stadium? "

Zhang Wansui explained to Li Tai: "This is the technique of transforming talent into instinct.

First of all, you need to immerse yourself in a skill-type or quality-type talent for more than one year, and develop it to a considerable depth, and train the corresponding instinct as much as possible in a single-player situation.

However, this process consumes more meat, and even some talents are easy to die if they are mastered by individuals, and they need to have life-hanging medicine.

Therefore, generally only the personal guards of the generals can master it.

This is why I support these warriors to participate in the personal guards, because without them, this competition is really not good. "

"Then, the common people gathered by other folks might not have a chance?!" Li Tai couldn't help covering his face when he heard Zhang Wansui's words, and said with a little despair.

"This is true in most cases!" Zhang Wansui thought about it, "unless they can also play football with talent!"

Li Tai was completely desperate.Ordinary people have a long way to go if they want to give birth to talents.

Obviously, for a long time, this polo will definitely be a venue for veterans and guards to gallop, and ordinary people just look at it.

In fact, from Zhang Wansui's point of view, although the polo game is superficially a test field for Li Tai's pasture plan, in reality, if Li Jing didn't feel that the polo game has some military training effect, it would not Play around with Li Tai.

After all, through this kind of small-scale confrontation and experimentation, the required horse breeds and fighters can be selected very well.

"What talent does Duan Gui's team have!" Li Tai understood that Zhang Wansui arranged for the two teams to meet directly for the first time. The biggest reason for this must be that Duan Gui's team also has corresponding talents.

"Just look at it!" Zhang Wansui said to Li Tai kindly.

At the moment, Li Tai also concentrated and calmed down, and set his sights on the field of the competition.

But for a moment, the players who seemed ordinary just now were exceptionally sharp at this moment, especially the cue in their hands, which gave people the feeling that it was no longer an ordinary cue, but a A magic weapon!
In an instant, Duan Gui launched the main attack. The players under his command did not show the swiftness of a non-starting charge. On the contrary, they began to pass the ball at an extremely fast speed.

The polo shuttles across the court almost without a pause, and the clubs in the hands of these players always appear at incredible angles, and then give the polo proper strength.

From the bottom line to the opponent's goal, Duan Gui is not so much in the most suitable position, it is better to say that the polo will inevitably appear here with the help of his players.

At this moment, without any hesitation, Cheng Huailiang charged towards Duan Gui's horse with a non-starting charge. Even if it was a foul, Cheng Huailiang felt that he absolutely did not want Duan Gui to score.

But Duan Gui jumped straight up and swung his club into the hole in mid-air, but Cheng Huailiang couldn't control his speed, and rushed directly onto Duan Gui's horse, colliding with each other!
This scene is quite a bit like the scene of a car accident, but I don't know how injured I was.

"Go save people first!" Li Tai said immediately after watching this scene.

"There is a system!" Zhang Taipu said, and sure enough, before Zhang Wansui's words fell, the referee appeared and said loudly:

"The medical battalion came forward for treatment, Cheng Huailiang of the Invincible Charge team rushed into the horse, causing the horse to be injured, and was sentenced to withdraw from the race."

"The horse was injured and retired!" Li Tai couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he heard this.

"Of course, these boys are from a family of special military generals. They are all grown up with beatings and know how to get minor injuries. Moreover, the personal soldiers have completed their skill refining, so they are all veterans of many battles.

So as long as the killer is not intentional, he may be injured, but he cannot die! " Zhang Taifu said nonchalantly,
"And if you get more injuries here, you can save your life when you go to the battlefield in the future!"

"That is to say, if the horse is not injured, Cheng Huailiang, who just did this, can continue the race!" Li Tai asked.

"Of course!" Zhang Wansui said, "They don't care how they play, but if they hurt the horse and don't stop it, it's nothing like a polo match.

Otherwise, if these Second World Lords are allowed to continue to behave mischievously, they really think that we don't care about anything!
In addition, Cheng Huailiang will definitely have to pay the horse to re-enter the race, otherwise he will be banned for life! "

Li Tai smiled awkwardly when he heard Zhang Wansui's words, and watched Cheng Huailiang follow the doctor away with a dissatisfied expression, but he followed the rules after all.

Cheng Huailiang regrets that he didn't stop Duan Gui from scoring just now, what a disappointment!

"Mr. Zhang, just now what is the ability of this personal guard under Duan Gui's command?" Li Tai asked curiously.

"It's something like hiding a sword in a god!" Zhang Taipu thought for a while and said,
"Fan Guogong's father Duan Yanshi seems to have found a remnant of military training in the old house of the Duan family.

On it were written some bragging about hiding the sword in the gods, the divine sword piercing the sky, and being invincible.

After two generations of perfection, the art of imperial weapon was developed, which can make the weapon in the hand more spiritual and maximize the power of the weapon.

Of course, the weapon is gone, and the whole person is gone!But if you really want to go to the battlefield, you deserve to die if you lose your weapon. "

Li Tai nodded when he heard Zhang Taipu's words.

However, with Cheng Huailiang's departure, the remaining Invincible Charge team obviously had problems with the overall tactical operation.

And the team led by Duan Gui, with him as the core, has brought out the magic of the cue to the extreme, which is really a success.

After a while, ten goals were scored and the charge-invincible team was eliminated.

Watching this competition, Li Tai has a different understanding of Datang's army.

Li Tai also asked Zhang Taipu, how many people like this kind of people who have mastered the instinct of the army's talent to transfer skills are in Datang's army.

Zhang Wansui didn't mean to hide it. Basically, a veteran can have one or two hundred guards around him, which is considered a lot.

Because these people need to eat meat to supplement poor nutrition in order to turn this skill into instinct.

As for whether Datang has such an army, Zhang Wansui said that you knew what was going on in Datang a few years ago.

Basically, except for the Xuanjia Army, other armies did not enjoy this treatment.

Therefore, the time for transforming skills will be forced to be extended, and some people will even suffer from over-training, which will make their bodies deficient and cause a whole body of diseases.

To be honest, how this competition was for Li Tai was originally because it was the first time the competition was held, so he came here to support it.

But listening to Zhang Wansui's commentary to these teams, Li Tai felt that he needed to send someone to stay here.

The most important thing is whether you can choose the legion talent that suits your needs.

After all, I am going to carry out a large-scale construction of the Zhengguo Canal, and I am preparing to try to build a large-scale corps. If I can integrate the talents of the corps into it, will I be able to further increase production efficiency?
