Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 782 The Football Team

After returning the takraw ball to the children, Zhao Kang immediately began to understand the origin of the takraw ball.

After visiting the people in the city, I found that if this thing is not called Cuju, it is called Sepak Takraw.

It used to be a popular sport in various countries, but in recent years, wars have been raging and no one is playing anymore because they are busy fighting wars.

Zhao Kang was heartbroken when he heard this. What a good sport, not to mention it can strengthen the people's physical exercise, but it is not good to use it for gambling. It would be better to organize the World Cup so that the people can relax and play some entertainment.

Rushing back home, Xiao Linglong and Ye Hongxue, who had returned early, were still a little angry. This guy ran away before he finished wiping the floor. Seeing his excited appearance, they couldn't help but be curious.

"What's wrong with you? Did you find the money?"

"Hahaha, I found something."

Holding the woman tightly in his arms, regardless of her struggle, Zhao Kang took a bite and expressed his thoughts.

Xiao Linglong suddenly became interested: "Sepak takraw, speaking of which, I haven't played it in a long time."

"You can do it too?" Zhao Kang was surprised.

"Hmph, who do you look down on?"

Xiao Linglong said proudly: "Before I succeeded to the throne, I was a master at this game!"

Zhao Kang was delighted: "What I want to do is not just a simple sepak takraw ball, but a football!"

Zhao Kang immediately called all the officials in Yangzhou City to gather, and it took some time before the capital was moved and the country was founded.

In view of the importance of Yangzhou, the first people to be in place were officials from all over Yangzhou.

During this period, many officials wanted to visit Zhao Kang, but Zhao Kang refused them all.

Therefore, when summoned by Zhao Kang, the officials were a little confused and stood in a row to listen to Zhao Kang's story.

It took me a long time to understand.

The prince wants to vigorously develop sepak takraw... no, football. All the nine counties in Yangzhou can form football teams to compete.

Winning contests will result in huge prizes!
When they heard the word bonus, the officials were all excited and quickly asked about the football matter and whether they could form a football team.

Zhao Kang explained the rules of football, how to play and even major and minor events one by one. The officials seemed to be serious about listening and began to take notes.

Zhao Kang, who had been talking for two hours until dark, now said: "This matter has been settled. A football field will be built on the outskirts of the city! All expenses will be borne by Prince Zhao's Mansion!"

"Each county can only have two football teams at most. More than that is unacceptable. In addition, a Football Association will be established. I am now the first president of the Football Association!"

"Okay, that's it for now. This matter must be implemented as soon as possible and spread throughout Yangzhou within a month! The construction of the football field must be accelerated!"

"Finally, there will be a Xinyi Cup football competition held in two months, with a prize of 1 taels! All football teams in Yangzhou can sign up!"

Glancing at Wu Xinyi holding her child, Zhao Kang named the world's first football tournament the Xinyi Cup.

The officials were all excited. The bonus of 1 taels was really a lot!

Prince Gang said that officials like them can also join the football team and have fun with the people!

If you win, you can get a bonus!
Isn’t it just sepak takraw? Who hasn’t played it as a child?Although the rules and the number of people are different.

That's just a ball!

How difficult can it be to get there?Just pick it up again and practice!
After receiving Zhao Kang's order, the officials immediately went down to prepare.

Zhao Kang sighed with emotion, that's all the good thing about power, and there are plenty of people to help him with things.

Wu Xinyi walked over with a smile, "Husband, it's time to eat."

Zhao Kang took the child and hugged the beauty's waist: "Let's go and eat."

The next day.

The news that Zhao Kang was going to form a football team spread throughout the streets, and many people became interested.Li Ergoudan and a group of people from the research institute all came to Zhao Kang's temporary palace.

As for that small dilapidated house, the new palace is still under construction.

"Master, you want to start a football team? I can't make it, look at my body! It would be a waste if I don't play football!" Brother Diao tried his best to show off his majesty.

Zhang Long: "Sir, I will recruit a team of people from the army to serve as team members!"

"Master Zhao Kang, we are also good at playing ball!" Pike and a group of foreigners said hurriedly.

Mainly because he was eyeing the 1 tael bonus.

"You guys know nothing!"

Zhao Kang was disdainful: "Look at the way you are digging melons and cracking dates one by one, you still want to join my football team? The members of my football team must be a universe-level team with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, body, art and labor! Not to mention Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho. , then there must be a few Mesim, so you might as well forget it and go into your own group."

After belittling his subordinates, Zhao Kang turned around and discussed with Director Huang of the textile factory how to sew footballs.

The people who were struck could only leave with their heads hanging down, feeling a little annoyed.

The more Zhang Long thought about it, the angrier he became: "If you do it yourself, do it yourself! Every one of my army is a mighty man. They only play sepak takraw, but they can't beat you? Are you interested, Brother Diao?"

"That's it! Let's have two teams, and when the time comes, we'll slap the master in the face and win his money!"

"That's right!"

The two brothers became more and more enthusiastic as they talked and were about to leave arm in arm.

Pike hurriedly said: "Master Diao, Master Zhang, we..."

"Come on, old Parker, look at the way you are all crooked. Brother Diao and I must be a cosmic-level team with all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and technical skills. You can't do that."

Lin Erniu was very generous at this time: "Old Parker, let's go. They don't want you. I want you and let's form a team! Are you interested, Old Huang?"

Doctor Huang nodded and called Dak: "Let's go to the medical clinic and form a team by ourselves."

"Doctor Huang, you are so kind to me!" Dak was moved to tears.

People from major research institutes vowed to fight hard so that Zhao Kang could see their strength.

Wu Fu.

The current head of the palace, Chen Jianghe, who has not returned since he came back from Qi State, made a few pots of tea.

Looking at a group of important backbones of the Wu Mansion opposite.

"Have you heard about it? Your Majesty is going to hold a Xinyi Cup football match, and everyone can form a team to participate."

The martial arts fanatic was a little uninterested: "What's the point of sepak takraw? It's better to practice."

"Yes, Palace Master, why should we get involved in this kind of thing?"

Chen Jianghe coughed: "I heard that Li Erniu and others from the Medical Institute are preparing to form a team to compete. They are all here and training has begun!"

"And Zhang Long, Li Goudan, Tianxing, they are also forming their own football teams."

"Fuck! I sign up! I'm going to kill that bastard from the medical clinic!" Wu Jiankuang stood up excitedly.

The rest of the people's faces were also distorted and excited, completely different from the squinting eyes just now.

All excited!

Chen Jianghe slapped the table: "Okay! Then our Wufu football team is officially established! Let's come and see how this football is played. Let's train hard and beat the medical clinic to death! Win the Xinyi Cup!"

"Kill the Medical Center and win the Xinyi Cup!"

Zhao Kang never imagined that he put in a lot of effort and confidence to make the game known as the Immortal Cup Football Match in later generations.
