The moment the dragon boat in Weiyuan Tower crossed the finish line, there seemed to be no cheers heard on the riverside. On the contrary, the entire riverside was wailing, and there were heart-breaking wailings everywhere. This kind of heart-wrenching sound

The sound was not that someone in the family had died, but that countless people had lost their bets.

The proprietors of more than a dozen underground casinos did not expect that Weiyuan Tower would actually take advantage of it this time. It was like taking the drug and rowing so hard. Everyone could see it clearly. It was not other people who were cheating, but Weiyuan Tower was really good at rowing.

Skillful and consistent, with a steady rhythm, this victory is well deserved.

Apart from anything else, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the dragon boat in Weiyuan's building was designed with a lot of thought and was completely for this competition. Although several other families are also quite strong, in the end their arms were twisted.

But thighs are still one step behind the government.

It was this accident that made the bankers happy. The income from each of their handicaps this time was probably as small as hundreds of thousands of guan. Several big markets at the port even had hundreds of thousands of guan, all of which were placed by big merchants from all over the country.

big bet.

Because no one would bet on Weiyuan Tower to win. Oh, by the way, a few new faces came on the fifteenth day before the start of the game. They didn’t bet on anything but Weiyuan Tower. The bets were quite large. Everyone just thought they were stupid.

, now I see how these people are so discerning, but they only have to pay a small amount for a handicap, the most is only ten or twenty thousand dollars.

They don't know that a dozen or so handicap casinos with 10,000 or 20,000 coins combined are no joke.

Seeing that Weiyuan Tower had won the championship this time, the villagers and nobles gathered in the stands to congratulate Zhao Weixian and Huang Shaoping. This result was something that even the two prefecture officials could not have imagined. Si Fang Xing was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth. Zhao Weixian

After calling him, he just said: "General Si, it is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers, I have written it down." Zhao Weixian's words made Si Fangxing almost crooked with joy.

Pu Geng was furious. These lazy guys refused to do anything. They gave him a strike at the last critical moment. Seeing that victory was in sight, he was ranked last. Why would Wu Qingting care about who wins and who loses? In order to show his loyalty, he had already

After offering the promised lottery prize, only Pu Geng still stood there and kept cursing. This loss of 60,000 yuan is gone, and a good banker in Fengzhou is gone. This is the last time he lost 1 million yuan.

After paying him a huge IOU, he stabbed him in the heart again.

Liang Chuan lost strength in both hands while playing the drums. The tension and excitement made him forget his fatigue for a moment during the game. Once the game was over, he could no longer lift his arms. Looking at the prisoners again, they were all lying on the boat like dead dogs, mouthing loudly.

He was panting and very tired. Now was not the time to relax. If he had to go ashore quickly to replace someone else, it would be a big sin if someone exposed him.

The group of people took off most of their clothes before getting ashore, leaving their shirts on and their pants on. On the shore, Gao Chun was very nervous because he was also afraid that the matter would be exposed. He hurriedly transferred the prisoners to his subordinates and escorted them. A team

People pulled off their masks and covered their faces and evacuated from the riverside.

Liang Chuan was extremely pleased and said to everyone: "I've thanked you all for today. I, Liang Chuan, can't keep up with my words. I will definitely reward you all tonight."

The prisoners were so tired that their faces turned blue. Although they had never shown their faces from beginning to end, they had earned their faces. They all held their heads high and held their chests high. Rather than saying they were prisoners, they were a group of warriors. Liang Chuan looked at

If they can be reformed, they might become a force, because these people are not only obedient, but also willing to work hard, and can win their hearts and minds instead of relying on force and violence to coerce them.

Pu Geng reluctantly took out the money. The money was carried on a load with a big red satin tied on it. The money was not weighed but weighed. The servants carried the load to the stands.

Although the two elders Wu and Pu had their own concerns, they still had to pretend to be shy and apologize to Zhao Weixian. When they lost, they had to laugh and say that Mr. Zhao was a good leader.

He wanted to argue that the Weiyuanlou team did not abide by the rules, but looking at Wu Qingting's obedient appearance and the fact that he had lost so completely, he gritted his teeth and swallowed this sigh of relief, why bother looking for trouble anymore.

After Si Fangxing's soldiers changed their clothes, Liang Chuan took water and sprinkled some water on their faces, arms and backs, pretending to be sweaty, but their faces were too calm to look like it, and everyone in the group was wearing red.

He walked up to the stands with honors and accepted Zhao Weixian's review.

Zhao Weixian had heard that the Weiyuan Tower team was not favored in this competition. He also knew the virtues of these government officials and could never rely on them to do anything desperate. But it was completely unexpected. There were senior officials in front of him and Si Fangxing in the back.

They were all materials for leading troops. Zhao Weixian distributed the lottery winnings to Si Fangxing, who was leading the team, but Si Fangxing said: "Your Excellency, the reason why we won the first prize in this competition is all thanks to Liang Chuan's planning. I can't accept the winnings. Please give me a gift."

With Liang Chuan or the team members!"

When Zhao Weixian heard this, he was even more appreciative. He will die for those who are not greedy for money, and he who is a general will not take credit and be proud and will not take the credit of his subordinates. This is the style of the ancient benevolent people.

"General Si really has the demeanor of Marquis Mengchang Wu. You can accept this money yourself. I believe you will make rewards and punishments clear."

The entire dragon boat race lasted for nearly half a day and did not end until noon.

People on the riverside dispersed one after another. Everything is a gradual process. Dragon boating was originally a more physical activity than rowing. From then on, most of the dragon boat race participants after Qingyuan imitated Liang Chuan's approach and turned this activity into a

A technical job.

The sailors on the river improved the dragon boats in a learned way, and set up drummers and drummers on the dragon boats, and even added flag bearers, etc. The dragon boats became more and more grand year by year. The people of Qingyuan except Shangyuan and Zhongyuan

, and the days of opening sea boats for boat festivals, I look forward to the Dragon Boat Festival every year. Even residents from several counties near and far come here. The number of people on the dragon boat has changed from eighteen to thirty-six, and then to

Forty-eight people, and the dragon boat teams also changed from six to twelve, eighteen, and thirty-six. They have continued to grow for thousands of years and become a precious cultural heritage.

No one can tell whether this activity started first in the north (along the Yangtze River) because they wanted to commemorate Qu Zi, or whether it was the south that took the lead. After all, their technology has greatly surpassed that of the north. But what everyone remembers is that dragon boat racing has already

It is deeply imprinted in the bones of all Chinese people, and it is simply ridiculous that some stickmen still want to fight for the inheritance!

Liang Chuan did not follow him to the stage to receive the award. It seemed that it had nothing to do with it after the competition. All he wanted to do now was to pack up and go back to Fengshan to wait for the baby. Among the scattered crowd, a group of people suddenly came over.

It's Pu Geng who lost the bet.

I thought that it would be extremely difficult to earn this gambling money, but it was not as smooth as I expected. Unexpectedly, Pu Geng was not sloppy, with a black face on his face, but he said happily: "Zhuangzi, please let someone go there tomorrow."

Deliver the money. I will send someone to bring the money to your store tonight. What kind of magic are you using? No one in the city is optimistic about this pickle-like team. Can you tell me what makes you believe they can win?

?”

Liang Chuan smiled and said: "Master Pu, you have to believe in miracles. I have nothing else to say. Thank you Master Pu for the Zhuangzi and the lottery."

This made Liang Chuan look at him with admiration. Some people can have no bottom line for money. Although Pu Geng is not a good person, his reputation in business is still the first priority. Besides, things that only involve money are always trivial. He is the least interested.

What is lacking is money. In a few days, ships will bring frankincense and spices to clean up the source. One ship can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why should he feel sorry for such a small amount of money? He flicked his sleeves and left only

He snorted and left.

What Liang Chuan didn't know was that each generation of the Pu family was not as good as the last. Although they would still have endless money to spend in later generations, they had already thrown away the moral bottom line of their ancestors. The clan of the Southern Song Dynasty fled to Quanzhou to make use of Quanzhou's resources.

He established a new capital and made a comeback, but was killed by the descendants of the Pu family. He tried to enter Quanzhou but was unable to do so. In the end, he could only continue to flee south, which accelerated the demise of the Song Dynasty.

"If we in Xinghua also hold a dragon boat race like this, it will be lively and the villagers can have fun together." Yi Niang said.

Liang Chuan said: "This is not easy. Yi Niang, do you know how much money I made today? The old man just lost me 60,000 guan. How many years do you think we can earn this money? I will take out 500 guan when I return to Fengshan.

The money can be made in a decent way, so we can organize it when we get back."

Just as the group was about to leave, Gao Chun Si Fangxing stopped them on the back and said: "Brothers and sisters, please go back first, Sanlang, you can't leave. I couldn't bear the anger you got when you were angry with me last time. Today we are returning in triumph.

Brother, I want to get this thing back."

Liang Chuan really didn't want to spend time with these people anymore, but things had to start and end. Besides, he also agreed that if the prisoners won, he would invite them to have a good time. Liang Chuan glanced at Yi Niang and said: "Yi Niang, please talk to Yi Niang first.

Xiaochai and the others went to the store to wait and tidy up. I said goodbye to Brother Si in the evening, and we will set off back to Fengshan tomorrow."

Yi Niang knew that this was a matter between men, and she wanted to give Liangchuan some face. She nodded slightly and said, "Don't drink too much." After that, she got on Yelv Chongguang's carriage and returned to Chengtian Alley.

Yelv Chongguang is really Chongguang now. He managed to get more than 300 yuan from his wife by selling iron and steel. In addition, he invested all the windfall he got in Fengzhou last time and followed Liang Chuan to win at Weiyuan Tower.

, the odds are all about 30 to 1, the higher the odds, he calculated it, and this time ten thousand guan was stable. In his life, including when he worked for the Liao Kingdom, his superiors had never allocated so much money.

When I had no money, I lived like a dead person. Now that I have money, I have a hard back. I can eat and drink whatever I want without thinking too much. The same goes for my brothers. They would also be very happy this time. If it weren't for the car
