back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 34 Crazy Cuju
Lu Chengqi was complaining about not making money fast enough, but he still obviously underestimated the charm of Cuju.After the Chang'an City Cuju Stadium was built, only three games were played, and the enthusiasm of the people in Jingzhao Mansion for Cuju was raised to an unprecedented level.

After Lu Chengqi announced the organization of the Cuju League, people who love Cuju all over the country became crazy. Among other things, the [-] guan bonus after winning the championship alone made people crazy.

We must know that in this era, a consistent amount of money can allow a family of five to live a prosperous life for half a year, and the purchasing power is equivalent to more than 1000 yuan in later generations.What is the concept of five thousand strings?At least equal to 500 million, even if a Cuju team is divided equally, each person can get a few hundred guan, which is a fortune.

With such a generous bonus and such a generous reward for the Cuju Welfare Lottery, it is too unreasonable for Cuju not to become popular again.Even the small vendors outside the Cuju field have increased significantly, gradually forming a commercial street, even on days when there is no competition, it is extremely lively.

In this way, it not only raised the commercial tax, but also provided a stable income method for many poor residents of Chang'an City. For a while, Lu Chengqi's reputation rose to an unprecedented height.

There was only one group of people who complained about Lu Chengqi, and that was the Household Department Yamen.Originally, the collection of commercial taxes was enough for them to be busy. Unexpectedly, with a swipe of Lu Chengqi's pen, even the Cuju league was assigned to them.Hubu Shangshu Lin Town is nothing, just take over the task, anyway, he doesn't need to do it himself.But this made the small officials below busy, running around every day just to gather [-] Cuju teams.

November [-]th in the second year of Hong Xiang, this is a day destined to be recorded in history, because on this day, Lu Chengqi led the establishment of the first competitive league in this different time and space.

In Chang'an Cuju Field, which was named Yinhe Cuju Field by Lu Chengqi himself, the residents of Jingzhao Mansion who couldn't wait were already in the Yinhe Cuju Field, cheering and waiting.The Cuju field, which can accommodate 5 people, is full of seats.

The Cuju Welfare Lottery corresponding to today's two games has been sold out.When Lu Chengqi saw the sales record, he had to sigh: "I personally unleashed a money-making beast!"

A whole ten thousand strings!The two Cuju Welfare Lottery sales actually sold [-] guan!The Cuju blessing lottery with two copper coins and one piece can actually be sold for a full [-] guan, which is beyond everyone's expectation.

Although someone multiplied it, at least more than 200 million copies must be sold!Fortunately, even in a different time and space, this Dashun Dynasty is the same as the Song Dynasty in history. The printing industry is extremely developed, which can meet this figure.

Even so, there are still many people who cannot buy Cuju Fucai and return disappointed.After Lu Chengqi received the report from the Supervision Department, he decided to open more sales outlets. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to leak the printing technology. He issued a decree to warn those who want to make illegal profits. Never tolerate.With the imperial decree, many criminals were immediately shocked.

The Cuju League is a new thing, and Lu Chengqi doesn't have much experience. The only thing he can do is to try to be fair and just, and protect the interests of most people with rules.

Under the eyes of everyone expecting, Lu Chengqi stepped into the stands beside the Cuju field, and said in an exciting tone with a gold-plated trumpet-shaped megaphone: "I announce that the first Cuju League will start today!"

Immediately, all the people in the Cuju field cheered.After the cheers of Lu Chengqi and others died down, he continued: "Cuju is a competitive sport. It embodies the unyielding spirit of our people in Dashun, never giving up in spite of defeat, uniting and cooperating, and not fearing powerful enemies. This is our spirit. The spirit of the Chinese nation! This is why I advocate Cuju, because I don’t want to be bullied by those barbarians, invade my border, kill my people, and rob my property! Do you want to?”

"I don't want to!!!" the people of Jingzhao Mansion said enthusiastically.

"Very good! My Chinese nation has never been short of blood, but it is slowly worn away in ease. I don't want to see such people. Mencius said that people are born in sorrow and die in peace, but I put It concludes again that if you forget the battle, you will be in danger! If I, Dashun, want not to be bullied, I have to pick up a knife and gun and reason with those barbarians. Instead of talking about benevolence and morality, those benevolence and morality are to scare those barbarians I only said it after I read it. Are you right?"

"right!!!"

"Therefore, in my dynasty, whoever does not claim vassal status, pay tribute, cede land, make indemnities, make peace, and offend China will be punished no matter how far away!"

"Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away! Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away!"

……

Seeing that these 5 people were aroused by his speech, Lu Chengqi nodded in satisfaction. He never noticed that the ministers who accompanied him showed worried expressions, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Is it going to be militaristic? This is not a good sign!"

Naturally, Xu Chongguang also heard this, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that the Ming emperors of all dynasties were not the ones who kept their achievements, but the ones who expanded their territory. "It seems that the little emperor's ambition is not small. Is such a king a blessing or a disaster for me?" Xu Chongguang was thinking about this question in his heart, and for a moment he forgot that he was in the exciting Cuju arena.

At this time, the referees who had been trained for more than a month led the Royal Dragons and Royal Phoenixes to the stage. From the beginning, the two strongest teams faced each other, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and cheers and cheers came and went.

And the Royal Cuju Team is made up of young military officers, how could they hold back after hearing Lu Chengqi's inciting patriotic enthusiasm just now?Just after the start of the match, you will come and go, and the fight is hard to distinguish.

But Lu Chengqi, who was in the gorgeous stands, was thinking about how to use the money he just received from the Cuju Welfare Lottery to do other things.

Xu Chongguang also slowly came back to his senses, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Cuju can indeed arouse blood, but it's too much!"

Lu Chengqi's thoughts were interrupted by what he said. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that Xu Chongguang was afraid that he would be violent.He smiled and said, "Xu Qing, I will tell you a story."

Lu Chengqi slowly narrated the history of the Song Dynasty to Xu Chongguang and other important officials.When they heard the "Shame of Jingkang", all the ministers fell silent.Lu Chengqi asked: "Do you know why the Song Dynasty fell?"

Although Qin Yikang, Minister of the Ministry of War, is an old loach, he does not deny that he is talented, otherwise Lu Chengqi would have sent him home to spend his old age.He pondered for a while and sighed: "The Song Dynasty was surrounded by powerful enemies, but they destroyed the Great Wall and suppressed the warriors. Once there was a war, the warriors were sent to the battlefield to work hard. Once the war was over, the warriors were guarded to the point of heinous. Time For a long time, which warrior still has the mind to train and fight?"

Lu Chengqi did not expect that an old fritter like Qin Yikang would be the first to say what all warriors wanted to say but dared not to say, so he couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "Qin Qing is right. I have also said that a country is like a person , while civil and military are the two legs of this person. If one is broken, don't even try to run fast. The scholars of the world can handle political affairs for me; the soldiers of the world can protect me and the scholars of the world. Which is more important I think everyone knows which one is more important. Why do I want to promote the status of warriors? It's not because I want to suppress civil servants, but because I want the Dashun Dynasty to prolong the state!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of important officials couldn't understand the little emperor's thoughts, and they all bowed and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers can't do it!"

Lu Chengqi walked to the railing, looked at the officers galloping on the green field below, pointed at them and said, "You are the backbone of the Chinese nation, and so are they! If one day, civil servants go to the battlefield, it will be my negligence. It has reached the point of danger. Gentlemen, this is not alarmist talk, but a lesson from the past! If you forget the battle, you will be in danger. Soldiers, although it is ominous, can keep Dashun safe!"

Qin Yikang said excitedly: "Your Majesty's thoughts are the blessings of Dashun!" In fact, Qin Yikang is really an old fritter, he knows what he wants, and understands that Lu Chengqi wants to improve his status as a warrior, so he goes along with it.Otherwise, how dare he show the limelight?However, he was right.

Lu Chengqi looked at the city of Chang'an from a distance, and said firmly: "Although I can't compare with the King of Qin and the Han Dynasty, I still want to protect the country. Those barbarians, one day, I will make them pay with their blood! It's just that the current imperial army, frontier army, Xiang army, etc. The army is useless, and the food and grass cannot be supplied, so I am determined but powerless!"

Xu Chongguang and others said: "The minister is willing to swear to help His Majesty to the death, and will eventually step on the Yinshan Mountain!"

Lu Chengqi turned around and said confidently: "With the help of all the ministers, why worry about the big things not being done?"
