23, Chapter 23

"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao

Chapter 23

A general election for the imperial examination just ended last year. There was no autumn examination in the seventh year of Qingli. The students of the county school devoted all their energy to their studies and sports activities. For example, they have already practiced Cuju very well, which is very skillful in Wang Yun's opinion. The school competitions he played can make him cheer frequently!

More than half a year was enough for Wang Yun to play all the things that could be played in the county. He felt that life was less fun and wanted to extend his claws to the neighboring county. For example, it would be great to have a cross-county friendly match! Mingzhou has developed waterways, and it took only half a day to go to any county town by boat. It was very convenient. It would be a pity not to engage in friendship?

The most important thing is that there is so much free time, it’s so boring not to do anything!

Wang Rong's chance to cause trouble came quickly. Because the prefect issued instructions to the adjacent counties to learn the "Yin County Experience", the chief clerks from the adjacent counties came to Yin County one after another.

In order not to repeat the lecture, Wang Anshi asked Zheng Zhubu and others to explain the operation process to them in a unified manner, and also incorporated the experience of opening warehouses and borrowing grain in it to be taught.

Wang Yun met all the chief clerks of several neighboring counties at one time. He encouraged Zheng Si to be a student representative to ask the chief clerks if they were interested in playing friendly matches. Zheng Si was timid and could take the opportunity to exercise.

Zheng Si was too nervous and took Wuxing to accompany him. The two of them stumbled on the county chief clerks about the Cuju competition.

The chief clerks of each county would come to Yin County from time to time, so they naturally knew whose sons Zheng Si and Wu Xing were. After thinking about it privately, they thought that this might be the chief clerk Zheng and his own thoughts - even the Chief Certificate Wang's idea.

So the county chief clerks gave Zheng Si and the others a positive answer on the spot, saying that they would definitely let the county school organize a Cuju team to come over to compete.

But after they followed Zheng Si and the others to observe the county school, they regretted it. Although the students from each county school also played Cuju, they just played casually after school. The county school did not organize competitions seriously.

Look, they actually invited the monks to come and serve as "technical guidance"!

After seeing such a group of little wolf cubs who have been practicing for a long time in Yinxian County, they are all ready to ask someone to urge the county students to take the time to practice before talking about it, so as not to lose too much!

Zheng Si and Wu Xing got the matter done. Wang Yun happily talked to Wang Anshi about this matter, asking Wang Anshi to repair the Cuju venue in the county school, and it is best to have some audience seats for everyone to watch the game.

Wang Rong made a calculation for Wang Anshi: "The venue is better, and the competition will be held here in the future. How good is the competition? The first time the people may be fewer. If it becomes a regular rule, the children's parents will come and see it? They are all out, and they will never bring a penny. They are not allowed to drink some water and eat some snacks during the game. They are all here, and they are not allowed to buy some delicious and cheap local products on the street. The children are thirsty and hungry after playing football. They are not allowed to eat enough and drink enough before going back?"

Wang Anshi glanced at him sideways: "You just want to be more lively, you can just mess with each other."

Wang Rong hummed twice and ignored Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi didn't say whether he agreed or not, but turned around and asked someone to repair the Cuju venue beside the county school. It was spacious and beautiful in a few days. The audience seats were also set up, and a friendly match advertisement was posted, which motivated the people in the county to come to watch the game.

Nowadays, there is little entertainment, and a new thing can quickly spread throughout the county. When I learned that the county was going to play a competition with neighboring counties, the people were talking about this after dinner. Occasionally, there were idle men who went to see the county school students practice. After returning, they bragged to others: "The Cuju venue, the boss, the grass is growing in a good shape and good, and it is softer than my bedding when I walk up! What's important is that the young men in our county school played very well, and the Ju ball flew, and my heart jumped up and down with it."

As the idle man spread, the people were even more looking forward to the Cuju event. The peddlers and pawns were very keen and prepared goods early to wait for the Cuju team from the neighboring county to come.

When the first team of friends from neighboring counties came, they were really frightened by the attitude of Yin County: the parents of Yin County were invited by their sons to watch the game, and the audience was filled with relatives and friends who cheered for Yin County students. The vendors also came to hear the news, and the Cuju venues were all gathered around the Cuju venue.

It’s so lively, people who don’t know will think that Mid-Autumn Festival has passed again!

The strength of the friendly team was a little worse, and Yin County won no doubt. Fortunately, Wang Rong had expected it and prepared the second exciting game: the monk Cuju competition!

There are many Buddhist temples in Yin County. Most monks practice martial arts since childhood and relax in their spare time. When they play ball, they are really aggressive and every move is particularly energetic.

After Wang Rong encouraged Zheng Si and the others to invite the monks to be "technical guidance", he had already become familiar with the monks because of his sweet mouth. This time he asked the monks to come out and agree more happily than they agreed.

Wang Rong, Zheng Si and Wu Xing were both in the audience. Zheng Si was young and could not play on behalf of Yinxian County School, so she could only sit upright and watch the game. There was an acquaintance sitting next to Wang Rong, who was Shen Kuo who had taken a bath and walked the birds together.

Having had the friendship of taking a bath together, Wang Rong has always been among the "good friends". The promotional poster of "Monkey Cuju Competition" posted at the door today was drawn by Shen Kuo. A group of bald heads were drawn to chase Ju Qiu in blood, which can be said to be very eye-catching!

Of course, there are also posters for the two counties' friendship match to show the county's attention to this event.

After the lively event, the students from the team of the neighboring county left in a daze, and they also took away the souvenirs given by Yin County: a very cute little Juqiu pendant.

After returning, many students hugged their parents and cried, saying that their parents were sitting in the audience to cheer for their sons. They were lonely and no one cheered or cheered. They were simply pitiful little cabbage that their father didn't love her and didn't love her, and they were still the kind of desolate! What could their parents do? They could only coax them: "We'll go next time, too!"

The incident that happened in this friendly match quickly spread to other counties. Many people secretly called Wang Anshi too much, but they could not refuse the expectant gaze of his son, so they could only make room for their son to go to Yin County on the day of the competition.

Wang Yun watched the "season" of lively, and merchants and vendors in Yin County also made a lot of money. Some merchants even took the initiative to invest in expanding the Cuju venue and increasing audience seats.

Wang Anshi accepted new things very quickly, and quickly advertised the investors according to Wang Yun's idea of ​​posting promotional posters, and released a series of advertising slogans such as "Yin County God-like Mat, durable" and "Yin County Fritillaria, Clears heat and moistens the lungs".

Shen Kuo also spent a season in Yin County. First, Mr. Lou and others were there, he could ask many questions. Second, "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" responded well in Kaifeng. Fang Hong sent someone to send money, which was given according to royalties, just like "Five Years of Imperial Examination and Three Years Simulation". It was the first time that Shen Kuo made so much money on himself, and was knocked unconscious. He agreed to draw an article for the Yin County Cuju Competition.

This time, without Wang Yun's guidance, Shen Kuo could find a lot of materials himself. He locked the protagonist's prototype on a county school student who lost his mother since childhood, followed the student for a season, deepened the details of his and his father's dependence on each other, and then processed the game process and created a cool outline similar to "From the excluded poor boy to the strongest forward in the county school".

Shen Kuo corrected the story outline and draft while watching the game. After a season, he also completed a touching growth story.

After reading it, Wang Rong felt very moved and shed a drop of precious tears or two.

This time, Wang Rong didn't have to send the manuscript to the capital because Fang Hong came here in person.

Fang Hong came to the east to run a business and by the way, he gave Wang Rong and Wang Anshi the profit this year. Fang Hong was very excited to learn that Shen Kuo was also there. In later generations, Shen Kuo was a best-selling writer who became famous!

After watching Shen Kuo's new work, Fang Hong patted his chest and said that he would definitely launch it while he was in the New Year event this year and let it sell it!

Wang Rong has always felt relieved when Fang Hong was doing business, so he didn't politely to Fang Hong.

Fang Hong saw the new look of Yin County and became more sure that he had been on the Wang family's ship. He told Wang Yun about the things he had decided when he came here: "I will send a manager to open a bookstore, a paper workshop, and a printing workshop. At that time, there will be a lot of people here. If you have anything to say, you can let them go, and if you have something to do, you can just let them go, just treat them as your own family."

Wang Rong naturally would not be grateful if Fang Hong was so well-informed. He happily led Fang Hong to meet Wang Anshi and said that there would be an investor from Kaifeng in the county.

Wang Anshi has a good impression of Fang Hong, a businessman who insists on sharing profits for his son. After listening to Fang Hong's words, he offered many preferential policies.

Fang Hong brought the manager to recognize the person and went back to Kaifeng with Shen Kuo's manuscript. He was very efficient in his work. Not long after, Shen Kuo's new work spread in Kaifeng City, and the new trend in Yin County became widely known.

There is no way, Shen Kuo's preface is still used to brag about Wang Anshi, and he recorded the exciting and lively season of Yin County in detail!

Sima Guang entered the Bachelor's College this year and was appointed as the proofreading of the museum and the residence was not changed. On that day, he went home from the yamen and saw his daughter sitting with his wife with a book, and he would occasionally raise his head to explain it to his wife several times. He walked over and saw that his wife and daughter were reading Shen Kuo's new work.

Sima Guang took off his official hat and put it on his face, and asked, "Is it good?" He had read this book. When he was on duty, other colleagues were also discussing the lively "county-level league" in Yin County, and the lively prosperity revealed in the book. Some people who have been to Yin County said with certainty: "This must be fake, it was not like this when I went there."

Sima Yan honestly replied: "It's good." This book has tears and refreshing points, and the paintings are also very wonderful. It is hard tolerate if it is not popular!

Zhang also said: "It's really good. After watching it, I want to go to Yin County to take a look. It would be great if I could go there to see their competition!"

Sima Guang said: "There are also quite a few Cuju competitions in the capital."

Zhang said, "How is this the same, different."

Sima Yan also nodded and responded: "Yes, different." This is the place mentioned in the best-selling works. If Shen Kuo had a greater influence, it would become a popular attraction in minutes!
