Because no matter where they went in the capital, they would basically be watched by curious people, so Mingxun and Zhu Shichu had no choice but to go out of the city and go to Mingxun's horse farm.
Now Mingxun's small horse farm has been expanded several times in size, and many good horses have been introduced from the frontier grasslands. In order to prevent the horse farm from losing money, Zhu Shichu suggested that Mingxun hold a horse racing competition from time to time and attract all his friends in the capital. Of course, the dandy boys who could hang out with Ming Xun all liked to eat, drink and have fun. Ming Xun's horse racing competition was exciting and fun, and soon caused a horse racing trend among them.
Even because he imported so many good horses, some military generals were so greedy that they couldn't help but come and take a look. After taking a look, they naturally felt itchy and couldn't help but want to ride one. When riding on it, if they meet friends or rivals, they will win. , it was another game, so horse racing became popular not only among dandies, but also among generals and soldiers.
In ancient times, he gave Mingxun a lot of suggestions, and set up long-distance, short-distance competitions, and even obstacle races. Each competition would give different rewards to the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up, including different amounts of silver and a building. An exquisite small trophy of a horse model.
The dandies and the generals and soldiers did not care much about the money, but they cared about the ranking and the small trophy with the horse model. They felt that this was the glory that represented their level. Therefore, the horse racing competition was never deserted and was extremely lively every time. There are even people who understand the secrets of horse racing without any knowledge and become even crazier.
As a person with a certain bottom line, Mingxun naturally would not engage in such things as horse racing. In addition to organizing horse racing competitions, he also organized other entertainment projects, such as Cuju, pot throwing, archery and wrestling. In addition to horse racing, Everyone can still play these things, so as time went by, Mingxun's racecourse gradually developed into a resort and entertainment club, including restaurants, hotels and inns.
In ancient times, I was scratching my abacus and looking at the numbers in the ledger with great satisfaction. I thought to myself, no wonder there are so many entertainment clubs in modern society. This business is really profitable.
Ming Xun saw that she had finally finished looking at the accounts and hurriedly came over and said: "Chu Chu, let's go horse racing too. There will be a race in about a quarter of an hour. It's a two-thousand-meter race. You can compete with your snowflakes. "
Gu Shichu stretched his body, handed the account book to Zhiqiu to put away, and said, "Okay, I haven't ridden a horse properly in this period of time."
After the two of them changed into their riding clothes, they went to the stables. In ancient times, Xue Piao and Ming Xun's black horses had separate residences and were not kept together with other horses.
The competition was about to start soon. They warmed up for a while and cooperated with their horses for a while before going onto the field.
Although it was just a daily competition, there were still many spectators around the track. They cheered when they saw the contestants they followed appeared on the stage.
Not only men were watching the game, there were also many ladies and ladies. At this time, in such a passionate occasion, they all abandoned their usual reserve, quietness and elegance, and became excited and lively, excitedly cheering for their relatives and friends. Cheers and encouragement.
On the left side of the track, in a spectator seat set up, a lady wearing a hat saw Gu Shichu, who was dressed in riding attire and looking particularly heroic on a horse, and suddenly shouted bitterly: " In ancient times, women were women, so why could they be in the racetrack?! Women could also race horses like men?"
"Oh, madam, you don't know this, right? Those of us who often come to watch races know that the Crown Prince's wife often goes on horse races with these men, and there are several times when the Crown Prince's wife has won the first place. It will bring back a lot of courage for us women. Madam Prince’s riding skills are better than many men, why can’t she compete in shopping malls?” A middle-aged lady in her thirties next to her heard the words of Madam Wearing the Hat and couldn’t help but bring her with her. Said in a proud tone.
"As a woman, she competes with a group of men in broad daylight. Isn't this an unruly, unrestrained, dissolute, and shameless behavior? Don't you think she is immoral?!" The lady in the curtain hat is Gu Shi Yao asked more sarcastically.
When the middle-aged lady heard her words that were obviously hostile to the Crown Prince's wife, she became displeased and said, "What's so immoral? I think you're jealous, right? The Crown Prince's wife is upright and not secretive. Aboveboard and aboveboard, only those with dark minds and dirty thoughts will misunderstand people! Also, haven’t you seen Crown Prince Ming Xun next to the Crown Prince’s wife? Every time the Crown Prince’s wife comes on stage, she is with the Crown Prince, and Crown Prince Ming is always there. I don’t care, what can outsiders say?”
The middle-aged lady curled her lips and looked at Gu Shiyao, and said: "I think you are not that old, but you are more rigid and stubborn than those in their sixties or seventies, and you don't know how to adapt! No, I have to leave you. Stay away, so as not to ruin my mood for watching the game..."
After saying that, she really stayed away from Gu Shi Yao in disgust.
Gu Shiyao was immediately so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her face was extremely ugly. Fortunately, she was still wearing a hat, so no one could see her twisted face and vicious eyes.
The reason why Gu Shi Yao appeared here was because she couldn't help but pay attention to Ming Xun after Ming Xun discovered the new grain. So after paying attention, she discovered that he didn't know when to develop the horse farm. It was so successful that not only did it organize horse racing competitions, but also built matching entertainment venues, making it a very popular place.
This is obviously a different place from his previous life. In his previous life, Mingxun did have a small horse farm, but the small horse farm only raised dozens of horses that he liked. There were no horse racing competitions at all, let alone construction. Other places to play.
After that, the family gradually declined. Her housekeeper later felt that Ming Xun's horse farm cost a lot of money every year but did not make any money, which was very wasteful, so she forced Ming Xun to sell the horse farm.
But she didn't expect that the horse farm she sold could still make as much money as it does now?
Yes, Gu Shi Yao had no doubt that today’s racecourse could make a fortune every day. Didn’t he see that there were so many customers? There are many people in various entertainment projects, and there is even a place specifically for women to play.
As for the spectators who come to watch the horse racing, in addition to our children and ladies, there are also many ordinary people. They only need to pay one or two cents for a ticket, and they can come in to watch the game and have fun with everyone.
Gu Shiyao didn't understand why the fate of the racecourse had changed so much, so she dressed up secretly and sneaked in to have a look.
But she didn't expect that she saw that men were just like men in ancient times, not caring about other people's opinions and competing on the field openly, which made her very shocked.
