Song Che sat in the pavilion until early morning. At the fourth watch of the Red Mansion, visitors have been thanked, and most of the lights have been extinguished, leaving only the afterglow of sparks. After the indulgence and hustle and bustle, loneliness is even worse than loneliness.
The emptiness brought about by wasted years will extinguish most people's hopes. From then on, they will become drunk again, waste their time again, and wander again. Over time, they will start again and again, and they will become walking zombies who have forgotten their personality.
The night is as cold as water, with only the bright moon as companion.
"Mr. Song." Qiaoqiao came to the courtyard.
"Is she sober?" Song Che asked. Qiaoqiao hummed: "Sister Nongyue said she sang." Song Che glanced at the beautiful figure behind the boudoir window and sighed secretly,
"Wait until I thank Miss Nongyue." Then he left the Red Mansion. Back at the inn, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Not sleeping at all, Song Che lit a candlestick and started planning
"Luochao" plan. The main purpose of asking the prince to play Cuju is to advertise for Luo Chao. Even top nobles like the prince and prince participated in the competition, so what reason did the others have not to respond to the call?
When Luo Chao became famous in the capital and spread to the emperor's ears, there would be a competition with the royal Cuju team. At that time, he would meet with the emperor again and tell the Jia family's evil deeds in person.
Grand Master Jia has many gang members, and it may be difficult to remove them, but the black industry under his command will definitely suffer a heavy blow. At that time, Jia Dai, as his godson, will officially fulfill his role - scapegoat.
This plan is called borrowing a knife to kill someone! ... After compiling a plan in the morning, he took a short nap at noon, and Song Che rushed to the palace in the afternoon.
The princess and the little princess all put on fancy clothes and practiced Cuju with the servants. Even if they can't win the game two days later, they can't lose the momentum of the palace.
All the servants in the royal palace can play football, and it is no exaggeration to say that everyone has good footwork and can reach the level of modern national football.
But since Song Che has decided to change the rules of the court, he can no longer continue the old system of standing batting.
"Come on, come on, everyone, come together. I have something to announce to you." Song Che stopped the servants and gathered them together. There were more than forty men and women.
Song Che first explained the change plan to everyone, and then sent the old housekeeper to deliver a copy to the Prince's Mansion.
The reason for changing the category is to make the competition more exciting. The nature of the competition has not changed, and the prince should not have any objections.
Next, there is the deployment of tactics. Since he couldn't match his opponent's strength, he started with teamwork. Song Che planned several formations commonly used in modern football with his servants, and also made a detailed division of labor for each position - fast, flexible, High explosive power, as a forward; strong body, good endurance, as a center winger; tall body, speed, excellent fighting skills, as a defender; strong body, broad hands, flexible reflexes, as a goalkeeper; and then from more than 40 domestic servants, Fifteen players with excellent overall strength were carefully selected as starters and substitutes.
Compared with the prince, the palace is in a weak position. The best tactic for the weak is
"Defensive counterattack", so Song Che decided to take
The "Four-Five-One" formation and
"Nine guarantees one" tactic. Four defenders and five central defenders ensure that the ball does not enter the goal and create a single opportunity for Lin Yue.
Lin Yue's superb martial arts and ball skills are Wangfu's only hope for scoring a goal. After arranging the tactical layout, Song Che wrote four large-character posters to exaggerate the prince's appointment with the palace to play Cuju, and then sent people to post them on the bulletin boards in the four urban districts of the southeast and northwest to make announcements.
After nightfall, Song Che ordered eight groups of royal servants, four in a group, each carrying a gong, riding a carriage and horse through the streets and conducting publicity door to door.
"Dang-dang-dang! Dang-dang-dang!"
"Good news! Good news!"
"To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Crown Prince and King Anyang will hold a friendly competition in Cuju City on the night of the full moon!"
"That's incredible. I heard that there will be a famous prostitute from the Red Chamber and the most beautiful girl in Luoyang, Miss Nong Yue, singing with all her heart during the competition!"
"Is it true? The threshold for Miss Nongyue is usually at least fifty taels of silver to get through!"
"Harm! Look at what you said. Who are the Crown Prince and Prince Anyang? It's easy to invite Nong Yue to help with the fun. Moreover, our palace has spoken. This friendly match is for the benefit of all Cuju lovers in Luoyang. The first five hundred People can enter the city for free, and only one tael of silver will be charged for admission after 500 people!"
"I'm going! I'm going!"... For three consecutive days of publicity, they walked through the streets and alleys, screaming and hoarse. Everyone in Luoyang City knew that the two nobles were going to compete in Cuju City.
August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival. Song Che came to Cuju City in the western suburbs early to plan the venue and buy goals.
Cuju City was originally a big pit. In order to hold the Cuju competition, the Royal Qingyun Society built high walls around it, dug out the basin, and planned eight Cuju fields. Then they dug stands on the slopes. The style is similar to that of farmhouses. of
"Terraces" are almost the same. Cuju City is larger than a standard football stadium. If it is really crowded, it will not be a problem to accommodate 100,000 people. However, considering the safety risks, Song Che decided to only admit 50,000 people at most.
Afternoon, eve of evening. After hearing the news, there was an endless stream of people coming to watch the game. In order to ensure order, Song Che asked the princess for a letter and borrowed 3,000 soldiers from the Forbidden Army. While maintaining order, they could also watch football games and sing and dance for free. Why wouldn't the soldiers do it?
Of course, making money is the most important thing. For this Cuju competition, the prince has said that Song Che will be fully responsible. It is reasonable and reasonable to collect tickets and take the seat at the start of the game.
Song Che mobilized almost all the servants in Anyang Prince's Mansion. He sent ten people to each of the two city gates and prepared twenty large cash boxes. He would let one person go if he dropped one tael of silver or a lot of money.
Then, four handicaps were set up in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Cuju City to start a gambling business - gambling methods. Song Che only designed three methods, winning and losing, score, and total goals.
As for the odds, the palace is at a disadvantage. If you bet on the palace, you will naturally lose more. If you bet on the prince, you will have less companionship. A 5% commission will be taken from each compensation.
Anyway, if you are trading by yourself, it is impossible for you to lose money!
"Everyone, there is no upper or lower limit for the amount of this betting. You can participate with even a penny... The Cuju competition will start on time at Xu o'clock, and it will be closed in half an hour. Folks who want to bet, hurry up! "You can't even buy half a steamed bun for a penny, and it doesn't hurt even if you lose. In fact, everyone is willing to spend a little money to get lucky and have some fun.
Cuju City has been welcoming guests since Youshi, and it was already filled with 50,000 people before half time. Seeing that the venue was still quite empty, Song Che successively let in another 30,000 people. But even so, the spectators who came after hearing the news It's still increasing. Even if you don't have the qualifications to enter, you still have to squat outside the city and can't see the game. It's not bad to listen to Miss Nongyue playing the piano.
Unfortunately, there were no speakers in ancient times, and it was not possible to broadcast live. In order not to dampen the interest of spectators outside the stadium, Song Che specially arranged for a few loud-voiced servants to verbally report the game in the city in real time.
Then I opened a few handicaps outside the venue. It was a little gambling, and I could make a penny!
