"Hey! Have you heard? Yanhuang Academy held a football match yesterday, and it was really lively!"
"Football game? What is football?"
"Hey! Lao Wang, didn't you read yesterday's "Datang Daily"?"
"Well, I was too busy yesterday and didn't go! Lao Zhao, can you tell me quickly?"
"Hey! This is too long to talk about. Let's sit down and talk! Sit down and talk!"
The next day, the news of the Yanhuang Academy football match spread in Chang'an City without any surprise. When they heard the surrounding companions vividly talking about the wonderful event of yesterday's football match, many people's eyes were straight, and they secretly regretted that yesterday's match was so exciting. Didn't you go see it in person?
Unlike modern times where there are computers, mobile phones, TVs, and game consoles, entertainment methods in this era are quite lacking. In addition to watching movies, drinking tea, walking dogs, and cockfighting, the only thing left is visiting brothels. As soon as football, a very confrontational and competitive sport, appeared, it didn't take long for it to be pursued by millions of people!
But when everyone calmed down, they discovered a problem, where is the football? Where should I buy footballs? After returning from Yanhuang Academy yesterday, many people went to Qiquge and asked, but there were no footballs for sale there. But this thing can’t even be sold in Funny Pavilion, so where else can I buy it?
Fortunately, Li Zexuan didn’t keep everyone waiting for long!
"Look! Today's "Datang Daily" said that Qiquge will start selling footballs in three days, with a sales limit of one hundred per week~!"
"What? Qiquge finally started selling footballs? How much does one cost?"
"Uh...a hundred! And football is temporarily not participating in membership card discounts!!"
"Ah~? A hundred balls for one football~?"
Many people's eyes widened when they heard this ridiculous price, and they wanted to say "Excuse me"!
"Hey! One hundred dollars? That's a good price! In this way, there will be fewer people competing with me for football!"
Of course, there are also some young masters from well-off families who don't care at all about the sky-high price of one hundred guan, but are secretly happy! After all, there are only a hundred of these things a week!
(Ahem, under the influence of Yanhuang Academy, people in Chang'an City have gradually accepted the concept of every seven days as a week)
"Ahem! This newspaper also said that His Majesty allowed Yanhuang Academy to establish the Datang Football Federation (Datang Football Federation for short) to take charge of all matters of Datang Football. Marquis Yong'an will be appointed as the first chairman of the Datang Football Federation. The Datang Football Association encourages private football enthusiasts to establish football clubs, or football clubs, and encourages businessmen to contribute money to fund football clubs.
In March next year, each state will select the three strongest teams to come to Chang'an to participate in the classification competition. The top twenty teams will be classified as Class A teams and can participate in the Class A competition organized by the Football Association in the future. League; teams ranked twenty to fifty are classified as second-division teams and can only participate in the second-division league in the future. From the end of August every year to May of the following year, each team will participate in the corresponding league according to the level of their team.
The first place in the League A will be the champion and will be awarded a trophy and a bonus of 5,000 coins by the Datang Football Association. The second place will be the runner-up and will be rewarded with 3,000 coins. The third place will be the third runner-up and will be rewarded with a thousand coins. At that time, the top three will be awarded. Famous team players can enjoy the privilege of traveling around Chang'an City in a special carriage!
The bottom three A-League teams at the end of each season are automatically relegated to the following year's B-League, while the top three teams in that year's B-League are promoted to the following year's A-League! Yong'an Hou plans to hold a Champions League at the end of July next year. Only the top ten teams in the first division can participate. The champion will be rewarded 10,000 coins, the runner-up will be 5,000 coins, and the third place will be 3,000 coins. They can also enjoy the honor of being paraded! From now on, a Champions League will be held every year, and the amount of prize money will increase year by year! "
As soon as this news came out, it was like thunder on the ground, and it shocked everyone!
"Sss~! A bonus of 10,000 yuan? Did I hear it right just now?"
"Crazy, can you make money by playing football?" (Isn't this nonsense? If you can't make money by playing football, how do the sky-high transfer fees for modern players come from)
After seeing this news, many businessmen became interested. Only then did they realize that football contained such huge business opportunities! Do you want to form a team and try your luck?
The faces of those wealthy young men turned dark when they heard this. If they did this, more people would be attracted to Qiquge Pavilion to grab footballs! Then their chances of grabbing it are even smaller!
But then they thought about it. According to what was said in the newspaper, wouldn't there be a lot of football games to watch in the future? Wonderful! Simply wonderful!
"Hey, hey, don't worry, it's not over yet! This newspaper also said that from now on, all football teams in Datang must report to the Football Association and record them. Registered teams can win at fifty At the usual preferential price, you can receive a football directly from the Football Association, no need to rush to buy it!
In addition, Qiquge in various places will also provide a batch of footballs for rent. The rent is about 100 yuan per day. They must be returned on time. If they are lost, the original price will be compensated! The Football Association will announce the detailed football rules, management system and league system in two days. If you need it, you can go to Funny Culture to buy it! "
The main reason for launching these two systems was that Li Zexuan wanted to promote football to every part of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Although the raw materials for football were not easy to obtain, he also wanted to make football affordable for most people. Besides, there is now the Zhenla Kingdom , Piao's rubber supply support, he also has the confidence to make a large number of footballs! Then you can watch the game!
Moreover, football can also boost the local economy, which is a great thing that benefits millions of people!
Sure enough, after hearing the news, many people cheered. When those rich kids heard that they could directly go to the Football Association to collect football balls when forming a team, they were immediately moved. In their opinion, raising a team How much can you spend? Not only can you directly receive a football, but the team can also bring you a little fun. If you are lucky enough to become a first-class team, then you will be proud of yourself! You can brag with your friends when you go out, right?
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't miss it if you pass by! My son wants to form a football team to participate in the qualifying competition in March next year. Anyone under the age of thirty or over twelve who can play football can come and sign up. ! As long as you are selected by my young master, with a monthly salary of at least 500 yuan, come and sign up!"
No, some quick-reacting people have already ordered their own servants to recruit people on the street! It's better to strike first!
"Hey, isn't this a servant of Mr. Chen's family?"
"His young master actually wants to form a football team?"
"Hey! That's really a great place! It's a pity that I can't play football!"
"Tsk tsk, five hundred yuan a month, you don't have to do anything every day, you just have to play football. This job is really great!"
"I...I want to sign up!"
Suddenly, there was a craze for forming a football team in Chang'an City, and as the news spread, this wave was about to sweep across the entire Tang Dynasty!
