Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 328 The Conception of the National Games
When Sun Xiangfu said these words to Li Shimin, Chu Suiliang and the merchants in Shanyang were the happiest. There were long queues in the shops selling snacks, and even the high-end restaurants were full, and there were many diners waiting. In terms of dining, this is a great thing!Therefore, he hurried to the barracks and reported the situation to Sun Xiangfu.

"Your Majesty, you have seen how much a military parade can promote Shanyang's business!"

Sun Xiangfu listened to Chu Suiliang's report with Li Shimin. Hearing this, he smiled and said to Li Shimin.

"Then tell me, where are the business opportunities?"

"Well, Your Majesty, you'd better send someone to the martial arts performance venue outside the city to inform that the martial arts performance in the afternoon will be postponed by an hour. In this way, the common people can take turns to eat and watch the martial arts performance process."

When Li Shimin heard the words, he gave Wang Deyong a look, and Wang Deyong immediately took a group of servants to send orders to the generals who led the guards. At this time, Sun Xiangfu said, "I want to hold a grand ceremony in Shanyang." Great Tang Army Tournament."

"The competition?"

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words, and Chu Suiliang seemed to react. A military parade has doubled the turnover of all the catering businesses in Shanyang today. If this martial arts competition is held, wouldn't it be...

Chu Suiliang is still thinking about it!Then I saw Sun Xiangfu winking at himself non-stop, meaning to tell him to call Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and other generals who were eating at the table not far away.

Although his action was seen by Li Shimin, Li Shimin did not stop him. After a while, a group of generals who hadn't eaten enough were invited to Li Shimin's table.

"Your Majesty, the martial arts competition I mentioned is not just about fighting, but the training of the whole army is divided into many items for competition, such as archery, foot shooting, horseback shooting, continuous shooting, fixed target, Moving targets are several big projects.

Another example is running and marching, sprinting, long-distance running, obstacle running, and relay race.High jump, long jump.Sanda, wrestling, sword fighting, horse fighting, etc.

Even throwing chain hammers, lifting stone locks, manipulating crossbows, manipulating trebuchets, and wrestling... can be added to the competition. "

Crackling, Sun Xiangfu mentioned dozens of events in a short while, and then said, "For the No.1 champion of each event, I, Shanyang, plan to reward [-] yuan and a gold medal.

The runner-up of No.2 will be rewarded with [-] coins and a silver medal.

The No.3 runner-up will be rewarded with [-] coins and a bronze medal. "

"Wait, you want to use the money from Shanyang Finance to reward our sergeants in Datang?" Li Shimin interrupted Sun Xiangfu's words with some depression. This is a big problem, and Sun Xiangfu's nonsense can't be tolerated.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu laughed and said, "No, no, I think that the merchants in Shanyang would be willing to pay this amount of money. Because, as long as they pay a little money, the business may turn around every day. Times, until the end of all competitions."

Sun Xiangfu said so, Chu Suiliang, who knows his business ideas, now fully understands, this boss thought of a brilliant trick to gather money for Shanyang, the most important thing in Datang is rich people who like to watch the excitement ah!
As the parent official of Shanyang who is in charge of the economy, Chu Suiliang would be too sorry for the people of Shanyang if he didn't jump out to say something now, and quickly took Sun Xiangfu's words and played, "Your Majesty, this is the people of Shanyang City and all the people in Shanyang City." Please Your Majesty fulfill the common wishes of merchants."

Speaking of this, Qin Qiong didn't understand what Sun Xiangfu said to Li Shimin just now, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, this suggestion can stimulate the enthusiasm of our army in the Tang Dynasty to train, and it can also allow them to obtain lofty honors, and A generous reward is an excellent strategy to achieve multiple goals at one stroke, I agree with you."

"Uh, Shubao, why did you second the proposal?"

Yu Chigong, who still didn't quite understand, asked Qin Qiong in a low voice.

Qin Qiong glanced at him impatiently and said, "Just let your son Lang compete with everyone. If you win, you will be able to show off and get money. If you lose, you will have nothing to lose."

"It's a good relationship! If you earn some money, the minister also agrees."

Then, after the conversation between the two of them, and the previous invitation from Chu Suiliang and Sun Xiangfu, the rest of the people such as Li Jing, Li Ji, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, Chai Shao, Zhang Gongjin and others all knew what they were talking about. , all clasped their fists together and said, "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

Seeing this posture, Li Shimin was even more dazed. In fact, it’s nothing to compare the guards. In the past, during the autumn training, it’s not like they didn’t have a competition. Sun Zhengming is the only one.

The crowd was so excited that it seemed impossible to disagree. Li Shimin nodded and said, "How to operate it, please come up with a charter as soon as possible."

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing Li Shimin nodding, Sun Xiangfu and Chu Suiliang smiled at each other. Only the two of them could know the beauty of it.

Then, Chu Suiliang resigned, and he had to arrange for the patrol of the Public Security Department to beat the gong to inform the people of the postponement of the martial arts performance.

Taking advantage of his free time, Sun Xiangfu chatted with everyone about some general ideas for this military competition.

"Your Majesty, you are going back to Chang'an in September. I think it is more appropriate to start the competition in the first ten days of August. It will last about 20 days."

In October, the first imperial examination of the Zhenguan Dynasty was about to start. Li Shimin had to lead his courtiers back to Chang'an to preside over it ahead of time. It was Li Shimin's last choice to do now. The territory of the Tang Dynasty was getting bigger and bigger. , the population is increasing, and the management is becoming more and more narrow. The original manpower, no matter how reluctantly, cannot support it.

However, the current time is only late June, and if the competition is scheduled to start in early August, there will be at least one and a half months to go, but Li Shimin can't understand what Sun Xiangfu means. Shanyang, if you want to compare, can't you compare at any time?

Seeing Li Shimin's puzzled gaze, Sun Xiangfu said again, "Your Majesty, this martial arts competition is not that simple. First of all, you need to discuss the competition items and rules with the generals. In addition, some special competition venues The construction, the equipment and tools needed for the competition need to be made well. Also, it’s publicity. This military parade only attracted some people who like to watch the excitement from the Northland. Most of them are our Shanyang civilians. Common people, businesses in Shanyang can't make much money from them.

All the expenses of this competition, I intend to let the merchants in Shanyang bear the burden, which requires more big money owners to come to Shanyang to spend, so that they can earn enough money. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin understood, and said, "You want to publicize your Shanyang martial arts competition to the whole country in the newspaper, so that those who have the conditions to come to Shanyang to watch, come to Shanyang to watch the fun, right? "

"Hehe, Your Majesty is wise. This is exactly what I think. In addition, I also plan to invite the Xueyantuo Khanate, the Ministry of Qi, the Ministry of Shiwei, the Ministry of Khitan, and the Ministry of Mohe to send representatives to participate. This is a way for us to deepen exchanges with the warriors of various ministries. , a great opportunity to advance national friendship."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said, "This method is feasible."

Seeing that Li Shimin instantly understood what he meant, Sun Xiangfu said, "I still have a follow-up plan. The construction of Dingxiang Construction will be completed within two years. I plan to hold an event in Dingxiang City in the third year." The National Sports Conference promotes the economy of Dingxiang City.

At that time, the participating teams were not limited to the Sixteen Guards and the surrounding tribes. All the powerful Shangzhou in the country could organize their own teams to participate in the competition. There is also a [-] team championship award. "

"Ten times? One hundred thousand team awards?"

As soon as Sun Xiangfu said this, not only Li Shimin, but also the generals who were gearing up to compete for good results in the next competition were also taken aback. Just now Sun Xiangfu said that the champion of each event can be won. If you get a reward of [-] coins, that's a hundred guan, if it's ten times that, it's a thousand guan.

Just now, there are dozens of competitions that Sun Xiangfu thought of on the spur of the moment. This is not counted by the generals of the guards. Then, the final competition is likely to exceed a hundred. Doesn’t it mean that when the time comes? It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just to pay bonuses?

"That's right, it's ten times. Don't you think your subordinates have earned too much money?"

Sun Xiangfu asked a question, but the generals of the Weis shook their heads again and again. As contestants, they wished that Sun Xiangfu would set a higher prize money!Because no matter how poor their team is, they can get medals for a few events. It's all money!

Li Shimin was the first to feel something was wrong, and said to Sun Xiangfu, "Tell me, what is your purpose for doing this, can those merchants really afford such a high fee?"

"Your Majesty, if you can actually afford it, you will know after watching this martial arts competition. I will take the racetrack that opens every three days in Shanyang as an example. Do you know which aristocratic families gamble on each other at the racecourse?" Is it the amount? At least [-].

A mere racecourse, opened in Shanyang less than a year ago, has made a profit of no less than [-] guan, and, for Shanyang's finances, it has set a tax revenue of more than a thousand guan.

And what we want to hold is an event with hundreds of competitions, which is the competition for the number one in the world.Just think about it, at that time, not only the rich people of our Tang Dynasty, but also nobles from surrounding countries would come to watch, let's place a bet!I don't dare to estimate the revenue of catering, accommodation, and service industries, but the merchants who open the gambling stalls can probably earn all the money used to pay the game prize money in one day. "

This era is not like the later generations. There are no restrictions on the opening of the market and the operation of gambling places. Individuals can open it if they have capital. Compared with the merchants who opened the market here, it is not worth mentioning. There are more merchants in the past, and the economic flow is larger. These industries are bound to rise. Sun Xiangfu does not restrict them, because a group of rich people fall, There will be another group of rich people rising up. Sun Xiangfu prefers to watch the wealth rotate in the hands of these people, because in this way he can continue to collect taxes.

Of course, making money is only a superficial matter. Three years later, the people of Tang Dynasty have almost solved the problem of food and clothing, and began to move towards prosperity. Maintaining their martial spirit and stimulating their enthusiasm for sports is also beneficial to this country. meaningful things.

However, his real purpose may not be understood by people in this world, because he wants to change the mode of war and switch to the sports field instead of slaughtering each other.

So many bonuses, for some tribes like Mohe, Shiwei, or small countries like Gaochang, it is enough to change their domestic economic situation. If, when they are poor, they don’t just rob the rich Datang can go this way, but relying on their own hard training, they can also win enough bonuses to change their living conditions. So, are they still willing to take risks and work hard?
　What kind of effect the limited free recommendation can have depends on the next few days. The next update has not disappointed everyone, and everyone should not disappoint me.Thanks to all the friends who patiently watched my works, at least for a few hours, your thinking is running with my brain hole, this is our fate, in the countless days and nights behind, I will continue to work hard , as much as possible to bring happiness to everyone, I hope you will continue to support me.Thanks!
