When Li Er's back disappeared from everyone's sight, a group of dudes surrounded Li Wangyou eagerly.

Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai squeezed their finger bones together, and said with a ferocious expression, "Li Ziyou, you bastard! Today I want to let you know what happens to the rebels!"

"Yes! Take care of this kid, we must not let him go lightly today! Tell him to play tricks on us! Paralyzed, I was so scared that I almost peed just now!" Du He even fanned the flames.

Li Wangyou simply surrendered, put his hands on his head and squatted on the ground: "Brothers, don't slap your face, I still rely on this face to eat."

His tired look naturally made all the dandies laugh.

"Ziyou, tell yourself, how will you compensate the brothers for their losses today?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, my younger brother is treating guests today, Pingkangfang is still a barbarian's wine shop, you brothers are free to do whatever you want, and all expenses will be borne by younger brother." Li Wangyou knew that he had provoked public anger, and his attitude was very correct.

Not to mention how Li Wangyou was "extorted and blackmailed" by dudes, after the Royal Hitting League, there was quite a stir in the public.

On today's game day, many people bought lottery tickets because of Du He's status as the eldest son of the Duke of Lai's mansion and believed in his analysis.Unexpectedly, only two of the five games were won, which can be said to be quite a tragic loss.

In the stadium, the lottery tickets that were torn apart and flew all over the sky were like pieces of snowflakes, chilling the heart.

And the swearing from the audience resounding through the sky in the stadium made the dandies hide their faces and walk away in shame, not daring to stay longer in the stadium for fear of being recognized by others.

There are even more people beating their chests, regretting why they didn't believe the analysis of "Li Tianshou" and missed the chance to win money in vain.

After only one game day, the name "Li Tianshou" became famous in Chang'an City. Everyone began to look forward to the next issue of the ball newspaper, whether this "Li Tianshou" would continue to publish articles to predict the outcome of the game.

These feedbacks were all reported to Li Er by Bai Qisi.

The sullen Li Er was in a good mood, and that night he turned on the lights and wrote the analysis and prediction of the five games of the next match day, and also made comments on today's five games.

After Li Wangyou received the ball commentary sent by Mi Tuo himself, after reading it carefully, he couldn't help being a little scared by Li Er.

Could this guy also be a time traveler?

Li Er's second ball commentary actually made Li Wangyou feel like he was reading an article in the "Sports Weekly" of later generations.Not only the witty words, but also the spicy point, very much like those famous football commentators of later generations.

Li Wangyou was even sure that if Li Er didn't become the emperor, even if he traveled to later generations, he would not die of hunger.

But the dandies are in pain, and they don't know how to write this ball commentary.

The prediction was inaccurate, it would be scolded by those Chang'an people who lost the game every day, and they couldn't stand it.But if the prediction is accurate, where will Li Er's face be placed?

Originally, Cheng Chumo wanted to inquire with Li Wangyou secretly to see how Li Er made his prediction, so they just followed His Majesty's judgment.

But Li Wangyou naturally couldn't agree to their careful thinking.

Are you kidding me? Li Er said that leaking his article before the newspaper was printed would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Li Wangyou's disrespectful attitude naturally made the dandies raise their middle fingers at him to show their contempt.

Du He and the others are regretting it now, why did they have to be cheap at the beginning, and listened to Li Wangyou's flickering, and wrote some bullshit ball newspaper articles.

Pit, it's really a pit!

653 Sports industry

After the Shangyuan Festival, after discussing with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other courtiers, Li Er accepted Li Wangyou's suggestion that day.It is officially confirmed that the Datang National Games will be held in Chang'an City in March of the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Li Er promulgated the imperial decree and announced it to the world, and the envoys of various countries also sent news to their respective countries, so that the country began to recruit and select personnel to participate in the sports meeting, and prepared to leave for Chang'an.

Now there are more than [-] vassal states confirmed to participate in the movement.

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

For this sports meeting, Li Er also delivered a decree to the ten departments, asking them to select personnel to participate in the competition, and to gather in the capital in March next year to participate in the sports meeting.

Chang'an City Wannian and Chang'an counties formed separate teams, as well as the Nanya Forbidden Army and Beiya Forbidden Army. A total of [-] teams participated in the Datang National Games.Including the representative teams of the vassal states, there are forty or fifty teams competing for the final championship. This competition can be described as quite fierce.

As for the competition items, in addition to the five items that Li Wangyou proposed in the court that day, including batting, long-distance running, archery, horse racing, and weightlifting, after Li Er discussed with his officials, he added Cuju, Jiaoji, Chuiwan, Mu Shooting and tug-of-war.

Li Wangyou didn't expect that Datang actually had so many sports competitions.

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

Moreover, there are many ways to play Datang Cuju, including double-goal and single-goal.

Single goal is a bit like volleyball in later generations, but it is much more difficult.The two sides stand on both sides of a goal. The goal is to pass the ball back and forth with the feet, and the ball cannot land.Go through the round hole called "Merry Eye" hanging above the goal to score.

The double goal is not much different from modern football, and is similar to polo popular in the Tang Dynasty.It's just that shooting is more difficult, and the ball needs to be shot into the romantic eye above the opponent's goal to score.

Wrestling is wrestling, and later Japanese sumo wrestlers learned it from the Tang Dynasty.

In Li Wangyou's view, Chuiwan is a bit like a combination of later generations of golf and croquet played by old people. The rule is to hit the ball into the hole with a club.

The wooden shot is almost the embryonic form of bowling in later generations. The ten wooden pillars are written with "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, warmth, kindness, respect, frugality, and concession" in red pen, and the other five wooden pillars are written in black pen. "Slowness, pride, sycophancy, greed, and abuse".

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 generally the same as the rules of later generations. The difference is that the tug-of-war in the Tang Dynasty is too spectacular.

The rope was over a thousand feet long, thousands of wrestlers participated in the tug-of-war, tens of thousands of people watched on the scene, and a row of bare-chested warriors beat drums to cheer.

Smoke and dust rose from the scene like a landslide.

According to the records of "Fengshi Hearing and Seeing", such a scene once made the "foreign guests and scholars and common people watching the scene, and the tomb was not shocked", so that "the Huns lost their tendons, and then worshiped and said: "If the king is like this , the country will perish."

Pulling a river can scare the Huns' envoys to pee, which shows their momentum.

The Datang National Games, this incident naturally caused the people in Chang'an City to discuss for a while. "Games" is an unheard of new term, it sounds very interesting.

These days, there is no concept of national fitness. It is an era of prosperity if people can eat enough and not hungry, let alone the concept of nutrition and fitness.

This is the so-called poor culture and rich martial arts.

Without enough food, even a large amount of meat, one cannot develop a whole body of tendons.As for studying, relatively speaking, it costs a lot less. At least drinking porridge and starving will not affect your study.

What the common people want is a lively scene, after all, there are still too few entertainment activities in Datang.Although no one has seen the Datang Games, it does not affect the people's yearning and expectation for it.

Li Wangyou took this opportunity to apply to Li Er to build a new shooting ground, but he was rejected directly.

It's not that Li Er is reluctant to allocate land to Li Wangyou, but that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are jealous.

Li Wangyou originally spent 2 taels of gold to build a battering field, but was ridiculed by the people of Chang'an City as a prodigal son, and all the court officials also secretly laughed at him.

But when this batting field, which cost 2 taels of gold, was completed and put into use, within just two match days, the income it generated shocked all officials.

For two consecutive match days, Dazhao hit the field and the field was full.

After some calculations by the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they were surprised to find that Hu County Bo Li Wangyou had earned no less than [-] yuan just from selling tickets.
