Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

After the Spring Festival, Li Er discussed with courtiers such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji, and accepted Li Wangyous suggestion that day. Officially confirmed that the Great Tang National Games will be held in Chang’an City in March of the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Li Er issued a decree to announce to the world, and envoys of various countries also sent messages to their respective countries, so that the country began to recruit and select people to participate in the Games, ready to go to Ch_ng’n.

There are already more than 30 vassal countries confirmed to participate in the movement.

Zhenguan first year of Emperor’s reign, according to the situation of mountains and rivers, Li Er divided the country into ten roads, namely Guannei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Shannan Road, Longyou Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road and Lingnan Road.

In this sports meeting, Li Er also preached these ten principles, letting each of them select the personnel to participate in the competition, and gather in the capital next March to participate in the sports meeting.

The two counties of Chang’an City Wannian and Ch_ng’n formed separate teams, as well as the Imperial Army of the South and the Imperial Army of the North. A total of 14 teams participated in the Great Tang National Games. With the addition of the representative teams of the vassal countries, there are 40-50 teams competing for the final Champion. This competition is quite fierce.

As for the competition items, in addition to Dakyu, long-distance running, archery, horse racing, and weightlifting proposed by Li Wangyou on the same day, after Li Er discussed with the ministers, he added cuju and horns. , Chuwan, Mushe and Tug of War.

Li Wangyou didn’t expect, Great Tang actually has so many sports events.

Needless to say, Cuju is the predecessor of modern Football.

Moreover, Great Tang has many ways to play Cuju, including double goals and single goals.

Single goal is a bit like volleyball for later generations, but it’s a lot more difficult. Both sides stand on either side of a goal. The goal is to pass the ball back and forth with their feet, and the ball cannot land. Going through the round hole called “Merry Eye” hung high above the goal is to score.

The double goal is not much different from modern Football, and is similar to the polo popular in Great Tang. Its just that shooting is more difficult, and you also need to shoot the ball into the romantic eye above the opponents goal to score.

Kakugo is wrestling, and later Japanese sumo wrestling was learned from Great Tang.

In Li Wangyou’s opinion, Hammaru is a bit like a combination of later generations of golf and croquet played by Senior. The rule is to use a club to hit the ball into the hole.

The wooden shot is almost the embryonic form of bowling for later generations. The ten wooden posts are written in red with “benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, goodness, respect, frugality, letting”, and another The five wooden pillars wrote “slow, arrogant, arrogant, greedy, and abusive” in black pen.

During the game, roll the wooden ball out, hit the red wooden post to win, and hit the black wooden post to lose.

Not to mention the tug-of-war, which is exactly similar to the rules of later generations. The difference is that the Great Tang tug-of-war is too spectacular.

The rope is more than a thousand feet long. Thousands of warriors participated in the tug-of-war. Thousands of people watched the scene, and a row of bare-chested warriors cheered.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, like a landslide.

According to the “Feng Shi Wen Jian Ji”, such a scene once made the scene “fan visitors, scholars and concubine viewers, the tomb is not shocked”, so that “the Xiongnu lost their tendons, worship again He said: “If the king and the male are like this, the state will die.”

A tug-of-war can scare the Huns envoys to urine, which shows the imposing manner.

Great Tang National Games, this matter naturally made the people in Chang’an City have a lot of discussion. “Sports meet” is a new term for unheard-of, which sounds very interesting.

In these years, there is no concept of national fitness, which can make people eat full. Not hungry is the era of prosperity, let alone the concept of nutrition and fitness.

The so-called poor culture and wealthy military, this is the truth.

There is not enough food, or even a lot of meat, but I cant get a whole body of tendon meat. As for reading, relatively speaking, it costs a lot less. At least drinking porridge and being hungry will not affect your study.

What the people pictured is a lively event, after all, Great Tang’s entertainment activities are still too few. Although no one has seen the Great Tang Games, it does not affect the people’s yearning and expectation.

Li Wangyou took this opportunity to apply to Li Er to build a new Dakyu venue, but didn’t expect was directly rejected.

It’s not that Li Er was reluctant to allocate land to Li Wangyou, but that the Manchu Dynasty was jealous.

Li Wangyou had to spend 20,000 gold taels to build the Dakyu field, which was ridiculed by the Chang’an City people as a wasterel. The numerous officials of the court also secretly teased him.

But when the Dakyu stadium, which cost 20,000 gold taels, was completed and put into use, the revenue generated in just two game days shocked the numerous officials.

For two consecutive game days, the Dakyu field was full.

After some calculations by the Ministry of People officials, they were shocked to find that the Count of Hu Li Wangyou had already earned more than 10,000 revenue just by selling tickets.

Not to mention, there are also the proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets on the stadium, and the proceeds from the sale of beverages in the stadium.

Ministry of People High Official Dai Zhou estimates that after such a year, Li Wangyou will rely on this stadium to earn no less than 300,000 points.

After reading the calculation given by Dai Zhou, numerous officials were dumb.

Who said that Count of Hu Li Wangyou was wasrel?

Those numerous officials who have secretly laughed at Li Wangyou’s “prodigal” now feel hot and painful on their faces. This face is almost slapped by the data given by Dai High Official.

After the embarrassment is over, it is full of jealousy.

In the face of such a huge income, where can all the court officials still sit and live? Naturally want to get a piece of it.

To build a Dakyu field, but 20,000 gold taels and 120,000 copper coins can be earned in half a year. This kind of thing, fools do not do it.

Actually, Li Wangyou’s Dazhao Dakyu field is not entirely his own.

As early as the beginning of the construction of the Dakyu field, Li Wangyou was very intrigued and found Empress Zhangsun with 40% of his hands.

At Cheng Yaojin’s mansion, he also sent 20% of the members. When I first repaired this Dakyu field, I asked Cheng Yaojin that old fogey borrowed a large amount of gold, so he could not disregard some of the benefits, which is really impossible.

As for the tickets for Dakyu, Li Wangyou actually didn’t get that many.

He has already asked Li Er, half of the ticket revenue will be allocated to the 22 ban troops. In the final league Championship, Dakyu will also provide a large bonus as a reward.

But Dai Zhous estimate is correct. According to the calculations of Li Wangyou and the beauty boss, even if half of the ticket revenue, as well as the operating costs and expenses of the Dakyu field, are removed, the income will not be Less than 200,000 punches.

In other words, every year, Li Er and Li Wangyou, the two uncles and nephews, can each get no less than 80,000 gold from this Dakyu field, and Cheng Yaojin also has 40,000. Bonus.

Although Li Er has made a lot of profits from it, he cannot use this as a reason to stop Dai Zhou and the others’ suggestions. After all, he is the emperor of Great Tang first, so he must consider the court, not just the benefits of the Imperial Palace inner library.

Therefore, Li Er rejected Li Wangyous proposal to rebuild the Dakyu field. Instead, Ministry of People and Ministry of Works began to find a suitable lifang in Chang’an City to build a new one. Dakyu field.

For this, Li Wangyou can only shrug his shoulders helplessly, expressing regret.

He didn’t really care about this. There were more ways to make money, and Chaotang was willing to invest in the construction of Dakyu Field, which is also a good thing.

Even he was a little pleased. At least the numerous officials of Great Tang finally saw the huge rewards brought by the “sports industry”. Want to have this kind of stimulation, Great Tang’s sports development may have a different trajectory.

Li Wangyou is very happy to see such a change……
