Datang romantic little landlord

"Come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

Seeing that the two old men were about to quarrel again, Li Er couldn't help glaring at the two of them angrily: "Know the festival, respect virtue, don't mess around!"

Li Wangyou also couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Cheng, not everyone can participate in this National Games, naturally there must be conditions."

"Straight mother thief, tell me clearly, what are the conditions for me to be unqualified?" Cheng Yaojin said angrily.

"Hey, what this little nephew said doesn't count." Li Wangyou quickly waved his hand, he didn't want to provoke Cheng Yaojin, an old rascal: "Uncle Cheng, my Tang Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if we only choose from the forbidden army Soldiers in the sports meeting also have to go through layers of selection."

"How to choose?"

Li Wangyou said: "My nephew thinks that for each event, the sixteen guards of the Imperial Army will each select a player from the army to participate in the National Games. The specific selection of each guard will depend on the arrangements made by Uncle Cheng and the princes. In addition There are probably dozens of contestants from the vassal states participating in each event, and when it comes to the official competition, they will go through the preliminaries, preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals, and finally decide the champion."

Li Wangyou explained to Li Er and other bigwigs how to participate in the Olympic Games in the future, and how to compete, and everyone nodded their heads.

"Okay, Ziyou, you are really thoughtful. It's amazing that you can come up with such a detailed and feasible plan in a short time."

Li Er thought that these competition rules and competition organization were all thought up by Li Wangyou himself, and praised him without hesitation, which made Li Wangyou blush a little.

These are just the experiences he gained from watching the Olympic Games and National Games on TV in his later life.It is not surprising that any sports fan in later generations will be able to tell one, two, three, four.

Li Er discussed with Fang Xuanling and others again, and roughly settled on the matter of holding the Datang National Games.

The time of the sports meeting was set one year later, between March and April of the fourth year of Zhenguan.If the results of the National Games are good, they can be held every two years in the future.

As for the specific competition items, content, and rules, Li Er waved his hand and let Li Wangyou take full control.After writing a detailed memorial and submitting it, he discussed it with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and finally issued an imperial decree to spread the order to the world so that emissaries can hear about it.

Li Wangyou had no choice but to nod and took over the job.

After all, apart from him, no one in this world knows how to organize this sports meeting.Even the beautiful boss probably doesn't know much, after all, she doesn't have much love for sports.

After negotiating about the National Games, Li Er chatted and drank with several bigwigs in the Liangyi Hall. Li Wangyou was about to say goodbye and leave, but remembered something again, and hurriedly got up to report.

"Uncle, my nephew has spent a lot of gold to build the Dazhao batting field. My nephew asked me to hold the Royal Tang batting tournament. Uncle, do you still remember?"

Li Er naturally remembered this matter. Li Wangyou spent a lot of money to build a batting arena just to engage in that batting league.

"Ziyou, you just said that the Dazhao Batting Field has already been built?"

"Yes, uncle, it was completed years ago."

Li Er became interested when he heard the words, ever since Li Wangyou spent 2 taels of gold to build a batting field, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Now that he heard that the battering field has been built today, he is interested to see for himself, 2 taels of gold, what is built out of it.

"My lords, why don't you follow me to the battle field today? Look at this kid who spent 2 taels of gold to build something amazing?"

When Li Er spoke, the big bosses naturally had no objection.

On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you order someone to go to the Zuo Jinwu Guards and call a batting team to come and play batting today to cheer for Your Majesty?"

Yuchi Jingde's eyes also brightened: "That's right, someone also ordered someone to call from the general's batting team, and today we're at Ziyou's Dazhao batting field, how about a match?"

Li Er nodded naturally with a smile. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there is nothing to do around the holidays. It is also good to watch the fight...

624 Fun with the People

The Dazhao Batting Field is not a very tall building in Chang'an City.

The height of the surrounding stands is ten meters, that is, a little over three feet, which is not as tall as the four feet high platform under the Hall of Tai Chi.

But although the height of the stand is only ten meters, it is the height of a three-story building in later generations.But when you actually stand in front of the batting field, it looks very spectacular.

The reason is simple, the stands are too long!

The stands with a circumference of four kilometers, even in later generations, have never seen such a large stadium.After all, the rules of polo have been modified a lot in later generations, not only reducing the number of players, but also making the venue much smaller.

A stadium that can accommodate 10 people at the same time will be a huge stadium in later generations.

And when Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and other bigwigs walked into this real polo field for the first time, everyone couldn't help gasping.

"Ziyou, what kind of monster did you build to come out? This, this is the batting field? How can it be so big?" Li Er stood in the middle of the empty field, looking around, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Cheng Yaojin also clicked his tongue: "Zhi Niang, I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a huge building. Boy, the stands around this stadium are all used to sit people? Tsk tsk, I'm afraid Isn’t it able to seat tens of thousands of people?”

Yuchi Jingde sucked his teeth even more, with a look of disbelief: "Ziyou, your 2 taels of gold is really not in vain. I have never heard of such a large-scale batting field."

Li Wangyou said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, you forgot that my nephew said before that the Dazhao Batting Arena can accommodate 10 spectators."

"My mother, 10 people shouting and cheering together, can scare people to death, right?"

Li Wangyou pointed to the center of the northern stand again, where there is a row of box stands at the top: "Uncle, that is the box stand prepared by my nephew for you and the gentlemen. During the competition, uncle will be able to sit here with the gentlemen." Watch the game without worrying about safety."

Li Er nodded: "Go, have a look."

A group of bigwigs surrounded Li Er, and under the guidance of Li Wangyou, entered the box stand through a dedicated passage.

Looking down from here, the entire batting field can be seen at a glance, with an unobstructed view.Various exquisite seats are also placed in the box for people to rest while watching the game.

Li Er didn't need Li Wangyou's introduction, he went straight to the wide seat in the middle, sat down and looked around, he was quite satisfied.

He pointed to the other boxes around the top of the stadium stands, and asked, "Ziyou, what are those boxes for?"

"Hey, Uncle, my nephew is going to sell tickets for this stadium. Seats of different grades naturally have different prices. The cheapest seats cost ten yuan, and seats with good positions range from fifty to five hundred yuan. As for those boxes, hey, if it’s less than ten copper coins, that’s not acceptable.”

Li Wangyou's answer stunned Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others, and after pondering for a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ziyou, what are you pretending to be in your head?"

Li Er didn't bother to take care of his "money-greedy" nephew any more, and greeted all the big bosses: "Masters, sit down, sit down, today we will watch the game here. Know the festival, respect morality, fight the game Is the team ready?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the preparations are ready, and the competition can begin after His Majesty speaks."

"Okay, let's get started."

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde nodded, and when they were about to take orders to inform them, Li Wangyou reached out to stop them.

"Wait, uncle, this stadium is empty, isn't it very boring to just watch the game like this? It's not lively at all."

Li Er was taken aback when he heard the words: "Ziyou, what do you mean?"

"Hey, uncle, you see that the stadium is empty, so why don't you let the imperial guards go to the surrounding neighborhoods to inform them immediately. Tell the Dazhao batting field to be open for free today, and let the people enter at will to watch the game. I don't know what uncle thinks?"

Li Erda laughed and said: "Yes! Today I will have fun with the people! Send the order down, let someone go and notify, the game will start after an hour."

Tang people like to socialize and be lively, even ordinary people.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year, the common people in Chang'an City set up banquets in every household. Neighbors pay New Year's greetings to each other and eat at whoever's house. There is also a special name for this, called "passing seats".

The few days of the Spring Festival are also the busiest time except for the Shangyuan Festival.
