Cry for Song

Chapter 50 Cuju Club

Although Zhao Yu appreciates Wang's proposal, there are many involved in this matter. First, all departments should coordinate to come up with specific plans. Second, there are special people to make statements and defenses. In addition, the recruitment of jury is also a complicated matter. Therefore, Zhao Yu agreed to this matter, but asked Zhongshu Province to cooperate with the Criminal Department of Dali Temple. The specific plan and implementation time will be reported,

As soon as Zhao Yugang announced his withdrawal from the court, the king was immediately surrounded by ministers. Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang took the left arm next to the king: "Your Majesty, how to carry out the matter of the jury? Please tell the minister in detail." Sima Guang pulled the right arm next to the king: "Your Majesty, please go to the Ministry of officials. Let's discuss this revision department and how to refine the law."

"Yes, what the prince said today is wonderful. I'm fascinated by it." An official around Sima Guang said,

The king looked at this man about 40 years old, with beautiful facial features, and looked very kind. He remembered that this person was Pang Gong, a bachelor of Hanlin,

The little eunuch Yang Jian came close: "Your Majesty, the emperor declares you to the hanging arch hall."

Hearing the emperor's call to the king, the ministers let go of his hands. The king smiled and said, "Crites, I'll go to see the emperor first and learn from the people. Those are not big questions just now. You can do it slowly first." After saying that, he quickly said goodbye to everyone and walked to the hanging arch hall,

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Zhao Yu, who had changed his court uniform. He was standing in the hall. He was still holding a colorful ball kicked by Cuju in his hand. When he saw the king coming in, he said "Next", he raised his foot and kicked the ball. The strength of the ball was just right and fell on the foot of the king. The king stopped the ball and arched. "The non-mainstream prince came to see the emperor."

Zhao Yu was next to a small table. Wang Yu and Wang Yuanze raised his head. Today, he was on duty to do this thing to record the emperor's words and deeds. "Your Majesty, what is this non-mainstream prince?" Wang Yuanze asked,

With a hook of the king's foot, the ball picked up and came to the king's hand. He took the ball and walked towards the hall and said, "The royal family is authentic, the royal relatives, these are the mainstream princes. My crowned prince, who has no royal blood, is not recognized by the mainstream, is the non-mainstream prince."

Zhao Yu turned around and walked to the throne and said with a smile, "Huo, Brother Wang is so resentful. You also divide the matter of this king into a mainstream and non-mainstream. What's the purpose?"

The king walked to Zhao Yu's side and threw the ball back to Zhao Yu: "Mainstream prince, the royal palace engages in a Cuju competition to celebrate the emperor's birthday. The royal palace of the non-mainstream prince is not included in this list. Presumably, if you can't get the champion, you can't get the reward."

Zhao Yu saw Wang Yuanze's brush: "Yuan Ze, don't write it. You remember that our brothers talk in private. When you look back, you will learn from the prince badly. Everything is divided into mainstream and non-mainstream, and it is difficult for officials to do."

When Wang Yuanze heard Zhao Yu's mouth, he put down the pen with a smile, "Your Majesty, my brother is right. Why didn't Cuju invite the Zhennan Palace?"

Zhao Yu and Wang were seated separately. Zhao Yu said, "Brother Wang misunderstood. In the past, there was a Cuju competition in the royal palace every year, but it was not held again in the year when my father was seriously ill. This year, I celebrated my birthday, and each royal palace was Cuju. I was a little sorry, so I wanted to ask Brother Wang to help me form a team of officials, which also showed the following officials. Huang Wei.

Wang laughs as soon as he heard this: "Your Majesty didn't want to pay bonuses, so he wanted me to form a team. Why bother so much? You just let Yang Jian and others go down to play, and no one dares to beat you."

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean, but it's a pity that officials can't play such a fun thing."

Wang said, "Your Majesty, if you want to play that well, you can wait until the game is over, select the elites from each team, and set up a royal team. Let's hold an invitational match to win Daliao, beat Tubo, and win Xixia. That's so interesting."

Zhao Yu said, "Okay, how about leaving this matter to Brother Wang?"

Wang Bian shook his head and said, "I won't do it. I won't be allowed to participate in the game of the royal palace. I may not be convinced by others if I do this, and I have conditions to do it."

"What's the condition? Tell me about it." Zhao Yu thought that although he could not compare with various royal palaces, the royal team could compare with other foreign countries such as Daliao, and he immediately felt very excited.

Wang said solemnly, "Since it is the royal team, the players can only specialize in playing football and can't engage in other things, so the royal family should pay for it, and in case of injury, or when they are old, they can have subsidies from the court when they retire, so that someone can really do their best. Try your best to represent me, the Song Dynasty.

As soon as Zhao Yu heard about spending money, he scratched his head: "Well, how much money do you need?"

Wang said, "There is not much silver. It is much more economical to raise dozens of people to win glory for my Song Dynasty than to raise corrupt officials, and the royal team can also make money, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about the problem of silver."

"Can Cuju still make money?" Zhao Yu asked,

"Of course, look at our cloud picks. How many rich businessmen are advertising on it now. When there are trials in various places every year, we can circle the venue, put advertising columns around, and sell those advertisements. This is the first income."

"There is also the second and third." Zhao Yu was attracted by the idea next to the king,

"Of course, the second is to sell players. The players we play well can be transferred to foreign countries at a high price. If they want to learn Cuju, they have to hire people. They have to hire our famous generals. These people are bought out of money. The third is the tickets for the league every year. The school military field can accommodate thousands of people. They all go there to see. Ball, the income of tickets for a season every year, not to mention that the surrounding area can expand some stores, attract foreign investment, and the Royal Team makes team uniforms, and makes Cuju balls for the Royal Team. These can be tendered to let them pay for their efforts, but those are all live advertisements.

" OK, OK, is there anything else?" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up,

"There must be more. Think about it, when the states will send their own Cuju teams, and then after a season, all kinds of business, tourism, hotels and accommodation in the capital will be so popular. If there is more business, then the tax will go up. In short, this Cuju is an industry. If it is done well, the whole production The industry chain is all profitable.

The income of the football club that Wang can think of, in addition to gambling, is told to Zhao Yu. Although it doesn't say much, it is enough to make Zhao Yu stunned.

"Well, how about letting the prince do this?"

Wang still shook his head: "No, the name is not right."

"Can't the official let you participate in the Cuju competition in Zhennan Wangfu?"

Wang Fang still shook his head: "If you let me participate, I will participate. If you don't let me participate, I will definitely participate, but I say that the name is not good. Isn't it for this reason? Doesn't the royal family also have a Cuju team? Moreover, the Cuju artists are under the direct jurisdiction of the teaching workshop and are under the leadership of Xuanhuiyuan."

Zhao Yu said, "Alas, you know, those are all for performances. Foreign envoys, festivals, and there are also Cuju artists of Xuanhuiyuan performing Cuju, but these artists are not opponents of the Chuju people in various royal palaces at all. They are just a flower shelf for foreign envoys. Moreover, what you just said, Cujuke In order to make money, if so, why are you hesitating, Brother Wang?

"I want to build my own team in the south of the palace."

Zhao Yu was a little helpless: "Okay, okay, if you build your team, then let your Zhennan Wangfu team also be responsible for representing the royal team in Daliao, Xixia and Tubo."

Wang saw what Zhao Yu said angrily, so he smiled and said, "Look at your hurry. You said that you are a dignified emperor of the Song Dynasty, and you are still looking forward to earning some ticket money in the annual ball game. This should be known to the foreign countries, and you will not be laughed to death."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, as long as you authorize me to hold the Songguan Cup every year, I will share the money with the emperor. As for how I operate, you don't have to worry too much about so many government affairs at ordinary times. That's great."

"Song Guansai..."

"In the Song Dynasty Championship, the emperor is ready to give the bonus to the team that won the first place. Anyway, the wool is on the sheep. The symbolic reward can definitely be earned through the annual competition. What's the point of the competition between the royal palace alone? Let's let everyone exercise."

Zhao Yu said, "It's good, but it's too late now."

Wang Zan smiled and said, "It's not too late. When our Zhennan Palace takes the first name this time, we can start to prepare for this matter."

Zhao Yu said disdainfully, "How do you know that you can win the first place in the Zhennan Palace?"

Wang Pang laughed and said, "I don't know yet. I'll know when I get the first place."

Zhao Yu turned his head and said to Wang Yuanze, who had been listening to their conversation, "You brother, you can just say, look at what he said. If you are not careful, you really can't get his way."

Yuan Ze also smiled. Zhao Yu continued, "You didn't see that he was in the hall today. He was moved by those old stubborn words, and the officials were also moved. Now it's fine, and there is no quarrel, and there is no dispute. Everyone has a lot of things to do on their heads. I think the ears of the officials can also be clear. It's been quiet for a few days."

Wang side smiled and said, "Yes, you have to make them busy. If they are all busy, there will be no time to quarrel."

Zhao Yu said, "The most idle thing now is Brother Wang. You don't care which department you are in charge of. Do you want to go to Yongzhou earlier?"

Wang said, "Don't worry about going to Yongzhou. The federal meeting will be in August, and I will leave when the Cuju game is over, but now I have three things to do now, and I have to tell the emperor."

Zhao Yu said, "Brother Wang, just say it."

"First, I want to recommend a person to go to Yongzhou to supervise the promotion of farmland and water conservancy. You have also seen this person, Mr. Hou Shuxian of my shogunate. This man was also a Jinshi and a shogunate of Wu Chong."

"Okay, tomorrow Brother Wang will bring him to the palace and discuss the addition of the seal. What is the second one?"
