Chapter 302 Dragon Boat Race on the fifth day of May

Jinsha Pier! There are no boats on the river, and there are no traces of fishing boats. However, here there are crowds of people, crowded and stretched for miles. At least tens of thousands of people gathered, and the number of people coming in time continues to increase.

In addition, prevent accidents, thousands of fully armed soldiers maintain public order.

The dragon boat competition held in Chaojiazhuang is in progress, and people are having fun.

This grand occasion is the first time in Yuncheng's history. People from Yuncheng's governments have jointly evaluated with Chaojiazhuang, and officials from Jeju City have also sent to participate. Several respected people have also been selected from tomorrow to form a team of judges.

Preparation started a month ago, with more than 40 participating teams. In addition to the two naval armies who went out to perform missions, the seven naval armies were fighting in the field, and each sent a team to participate as the people of the fishing village on the riverside.

It was originally planned to be a big dragon competition with thirty people.

However, considering that the surrounding people have limited financial resources, it was finally determined to be the Xiaolong Team. Each team had twelve people participating, and the channel was a section of Jinsha River waters, which was about three kilometers, straight and spacious, with a river surface of dozens of meters wide.

The referee along the riverside rowed a boat or observed the commanding heights on the shore.

Dragon boats of different styles were moored at the starting point. To distinguish, numbers were written with dyes. The sailors wore brightly colored clothes, put on numerals with embroidered characters, and were undergoing physical examinations.

...

In short, the preparations for the Dragon Boat Competition are very sufficient.

A viewing platform was built between the starting point of the competition and the end point of the dock. The most forward position in the middle is the review team, who can watch the entire process of the event from a high place. Yuncheng was appointed as the magistrate, and Shi Xianggong of Jeju led the team to the scene one after another to watch the event.

Chao Gai didn't run away. He had originally had a vacation and wanted to have a good sleep. However, he was pestered by several ladies to watch the competition. At this time, he was drinking tea bored. He watched the women eating bread and pointed to the participating teams outside and talked and laughed with the dragon boat. He didn't know what was good about it.

He did not participate in the dragon boat race in his later generations and did not have this interest. He did not know much. All of them were organized and organized by two military advisors, Wu Yong and Xiao Jiasui. He only knew that there were a lot of teams, which were divided into the morning knockout race and the afternoon final.

After the physical examination of the group, they boarded the dragon boat. The drummer beat the drums, the helmsman controlled the direction, and the sailors were ready to go and warm up the boat. The people on the shore shouted and shouted loudly for the team they were optimistic about.

No one knew that many people came down from Liangshan and came to join in the fun by boat. This increased the number of people gathered on the banks of the Jinsha River.

I don’t know when, the people on the shore spontaneously formed a team. Some even waved flags with the number of participating teams written on them, while others beat drums and drums, making them more enthusiastic than the participating teams.

This is probably the cheerleader of later generations!

In addition to the dragon boat race, there were tens of thousands of people gathered, including Chaojiazhuang restaurants and restaurants, pushing carts or carrying loads to sell boxed lunches, rice dumplings, wine, etc. The business was very booming and was transported from the city one by one. The soldiers who maintained public order sometimes helped push carts and run.

These are all done by Chao Gai!

In addition, a few days ago, Chaojiazhuang announced that it would open a bet plate, and the names and signs of participating teams were hung on the walls. As long as the bets were bets, the bets teams would win the championship and corresponding rankings, they would get rich returns. From the first day of May to the start of the competition today, people came in a constant stream of people, and they paid to bet on the bets and received their signatures.

Although there are restrictions on betting, the amount of money accumulates as much as a mountain.

"Husband, why do you have so many ideas for making money?" Li Qingwan looked at the soldiers busy collecting money on the shore and sighed. She turned around and looked up and down with curious eyes, as if she wanted to open his head and take a look.

"Because poverty limits your eyes!" Chao Gai yawned and stretched: "In the eyes of the rich, some things can be made by just doing. First of all, you need to invest. Money can make money and bring more benefits."

"You mean I'm poor?" Li Qingwan was a little dissatisfied.

Chao Gai nodded with disrespect: "Yes, you are a weapon master and you know mechanical skills. Why don't you tinker with toys or the like? You will definitely make money."

"Oh, a woman without talent is virtue!" Li Qingwan sighed.

Chao Gai pulled the woman into his arms to comfort him: "Nonsense, the person who said this is just a fart, white cats and black cats, and the one who caught the mouse is a good cat. Your improved bow and arrow are mass-producing equipment for the army, and it is an indelible contribution."

"Well, my husband is the best!" Li Qingwan was so moved!

Li Shishi asked curiously: "Husband, how much money can you make in the end by opening a gambling market?"

"Oh, at least tens of thousands of coins!" Chao Gai shook his head and sighed.

"Ten thousand coins? So many?" The girls were dumbfounded.

"Yes! The gambler is mentally ill, but I don't plan to make this money." Chao Gai sighed again when he looked at the people holding bamboo sticks outside.

"Do you know gambling depends on luck, and most of them lose the coffin book. So I hate gambling very much, and it is strictly prohibited in the army. But if I don't open the gambling plate, there will be many people in private. I don't know how many people have invested their savings due to dragon boat racing and are penniless. So I plan to win the money and buy more old grains and rely on the price difference to exchange for it."

When a few women heard this, their eyes changed! When they looked at Chao Gai again, they felt that their image was tall and tall, and they had an indescribable momentum.

"Well, husband, you are such a good person!" Hua Zi hugged Chao Gai happily. Yelu Dalibo was slowing down for a while, but reached out to stroke Chao Gai's cheek: "Husband, you have a kind heart and will definitely achieve a hegemony."

"Ling Feng, I have the people in my heart, it is really what a gentleman does!" Li Qingzhao smiled.

"The most difficult thing to accept the kindness of a beauty!" Chao Gai hugged the person in his arms tightly, sighing: "Since you are so optimistic about me, you can only achieve results."

"Husband, are there any gifts on the Dragon Boat Festival?" Li Qingwan asked in Chao Gai's arms.

"Of course..." Chao Gai was stunned, ready to tell the truth, but suddenly he changed his words: "Of course there is! When you go back, you want to find Jin Dajian."

This sentence is like awakening the dreamer!

Li Qingwan, Li Shishi and the woman immediately thought of several large bags of pearls handed over to the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian for several days. Not to mention this, no one has ever thought of it.

"Oh, pearl necklace, we actually forgot about this?"

Several women patted their heads and said they were careless, and they were all a little impatient. They were not as excited as they were when they looked at Long Zhou before.

This is a typical three-minute heat! Chao Gai was speechless when he saw this.

At this moment, Guo Sheng hurriedly pushed the door and bowed to Li Qingwan and other women, and then came to Chao Gai to report the emergencies.

There is a change in the imperial guards’ barracks!

After hearing this, Chao Gai looked ugly and looked at the box next to him, rubbing teeth. "This shit cow was still fishing before leaving, so he didn't give him any face!"

After saying that, he asked Guo Sheng to go to several private rooms next to him to say hello and return if he had something to do, and then looked at the ladies: "Are you watching the game here or..."

But Li Qingwan rolled her eyes and interrupted: "That's more to say? Of course, I'm following you!"

"Husband, we will follow you wherever you go!" Li Shishi's face was full of affection.

"What the two sisters are talking about is our attitude." Hua Zi, Hu Sanniang and Yelu Dalibo nodded. He packed up his things and carried weapons directly.

"Okay, I shouldn't ask!" Chao Gai led Li Qingzhao and walked out.

Because the weather is hot, the holidays are on again. Li Qingwan, Li Qingzhao and Li Shishi are wearing skirts and not riding horses. They get on the luxurious carriage when they come. Chao Gai rolls over the horse and leads the guards to escort the vehicle back to Chaojiazhuang.

The imperial guards' barracks are about to stage a mutiny!

On the school ground, three battalions of imperial guards gathered, and many vermilion wood boxes were kicked down, and a string of copper coins inside rolled to the ground. Everyone was full of indignation, excited, and scolding the dog officials.

Four commanders and deputy commanders were pressed to the ground to rub!

The military commander Zhao Wanli and two commanders were behind the scenes. Han Shizhong, who had just left the military camp and was about to go to see the dragon boat racing, received the news and hurriedly brought people back and shouted loudly before stopping the riot.

"General Han, three months of military salary, I haven't got it for a month and a half!"

"It's all deducted by these damn corrupt officials!"

"Mr. General Manager said that we will not deduct our military pay."

...

Indignant roars came one after another in the crowd.

Han Shizhong was not surprised by this kind of thing. His smile on his face was still so cold. He waved to the crowd and shouted: "The military pay was received from Jeju, and the seal was still there, and it had never been opened. It was Zhao Dujian and your commander and commander to receive and issue parent-child services. Please be careful and wait for processing."

Many soldiers had just calmed down and a few commanders were viciously commanding.

The horse's hooves rumbling, Chao Gai beat the horse and whipped it, and led the guards to rush over like a gust of wind. He rolled his saddle and fell off his horse. He looked at the messy scene and shouted loudly.

"Who told me what's going on here?"

Han Shizhong pointed to the boxes on several carriages and reported in a concise manner.

The cause of the matter is very clear! It is today's Dragon Boat Festival, and the military pay was collected from the Jeju government. However, the usual practice is that 20% or 30% of the money was deducted. A part of it was taken away by his own superiors, and it didn't even have half of it in the hands of the soldiers. If it were usual, he might be able to endure it.

But it’s not possible to come to Chaojiazhuang!

The Chao family army had gifts on the Dragon Boat Festival, hundreds of cents, three pounds of meat, and a jar of good wine. They also learned that the other veteran battalion was only 25% less. The soldiers were angry and had a long resentment and burst out. They didn't know who led the lead and pressed their commander to the ground, punching, kicking, and scolding.

Chao Gai frowned, but he was happy and wanted to laugh to the sky. He was worried that he would not have the chance to quickly control the team. Unexpectedly, these stupid people hit the gun. When will they not make trouble to establish prestige?

He came to the side of several commanders, looked at the guys who were beaten to the point of bruising and swollen, and asked, "Are you greedy? Who else is involved?"

"Sir, I'm aware of my mistake!"

Several commanders noticed that Chao Gai was full of murderous intent and knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy. In order to reduce the guilt, they confessed their accomplices without saying a word. Without Han Shizhong's actions, officers were knocked down and pulled out one by one.

It was the head of the two camps who really colluded with each other and colluded with each other!
