Chapter Four The Great Song Dynasty in Yue Zhuoqun's Eyes
His Royal Highness, King Cai, is Zhao Ji. After the sixteen states of Yanyun were recovered, everyone celebrated. Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji, who were brothers in the official family, also got a share of the profits. Zhao Ji was granted the title of King Chen from King Shen, and Zhao Ji was granted the title of King Chen from King Duan.
King Cai all received double royal stipends.
It’s just that in the past two years, Zhao Ji has been in poor health and has rarely appeared in public. Zhao Ji is in excellent health and eats delicious food. He has a lot of beautiful concubines in his house. Giving birth to children is like laying eggs, and he can also wander around.
Fly up.
"I won't steal his limelight." Zhao Si smiled and waved his hand.
"According to the decree."
Zhao Jijili Guala said some encouraging words, and then announced the entrance of the eight participating teams.
Only the roar of gongs and drums can be heard, and everyone in the audience is cheering for the team they love and support. Every team entering the venue will cause huge cheers, especially the favorite team to win the championship - Kodong Trading
Bank team, the huge sound made the whole Jinmingchi boil.
Then there is the lottery show - the sponsor behind the eight dragon boat teams will spend money to invite a team to perform on a flower boat, whether it is juggling, opera, singing and dancing. Every time a flower boat comes out,
Walking around the Jinmyeong Pond, everyone in the audience can see the performance clearly.
Tickets for the finals are expensive. The eight dragon boat teams have only competed for a short period of time. It would be a huge loss just to watch them. In the long run, how can we still sell tickets?
So as the chairman of the Song Dynasty Sports and Competition Federation, Zhao Ji came up with such a good idea.
After the eight flower boats travel around, all the spectators in the auditorium can vote. The tickets are divided into two tickets: the main ticket and the second ticket. They all have the time, competition, venue, participating team and seats. The lottery team you like on the second ticket is
Just draw a circle on the name of the team you represent and drop it into the cardboard box carried by the staff walking around.
At the end of the game, after the gold medal is awarded to the winning team, a certificate will also be awarded to the "most popular support team" with the most votes - this has nothing to do with your favorite participating team. If you think the support team performed well, just vote
who.
After each color-supporting team performs on the flower boat, if anyone feels that the performance is too good and the excitement in their hearts cannot be relieved without a reward, they can tell the staff that so-and-so, or so-and-so business firm,
How many yuan will be rewarded to a lottery team and how many pieces of silk will be rewarded...
Then the staff will write down the reward amount on a large white cardboard, hang it at the highest place, and announce it everywhere - if you are reluctant to part with it afterwards, it will be equivalent to death in Kaifeng City Society, and you should not hang out here in the future.
Of course, there are also trustees here. Basically, the proprietor of each lottery team will come forward to show their support, and its brothers or related legal entities will also come out to support them. So every time the lottery team comes out, it is like an oiran parade.
, noisy cheers rise and fall with each other.
Various cultural and artistic teams are also proud to be invited to such finals to perform to support the lottery. If they are selected as the "most popular team to support the lottery", it will be famous all over the world.
Even if you are not selected, if you win the lottery in front of the officials, civilians, soldiers and people of Kaifeng City, and get a good response from the public, it is equivalent to opening up the situation in Tokyo, and you are qualified to enter various venues in Kaifeng City and perform on the market.
The last flower boat is the lottery support team of the Koto Commercial Bank team.
Its proprietor is very wealthy, and everyone in the audience is waiting to see which "literary team" it invites to be worthy of its reputation as one of the top three banks in the Song Dynasty.
The flower boat that slowly sailed in was not very fancy. It was dressed like a loft stage and simply tied with colorful ribbons. It was much more frugal than the flower boats from several houses in front of it.
Some people are disappointed and some people are looking forward to it.
The reason why the steamed buns are so delicious is not because of the wrinkles - it’s not like the Commercial Bank can’t afford the money. It must have felt that the people it invited to perform no longer need those fancy foils.
A helper held up a clapper, banging it, and circled around the flower boat. The audience slowly became quiet, just like the ebbing tide, gradually becoming quiet.
The music played on the flower boat was melodious and sad, floating in the air with a kind of farewell sadness.
"Ask the world, what is love? It is a promise of life and death..." The female voice shocked everyone as soon as she spoke.
It's as crisp as an oriole's cry in the morning, as low as a nightingale's call at night, and has a mournful melody. Is this a piece of music that a mortal can sing? They are fairies descending to earth to offer music to the people of the Song Dynasty.
The entire Jinming Pond was silent, except for the clear and beautiful female voice accompanied by Xi Qin, which was like a crane crowing for nine days, astonishing everyone.
Cai Wang Zhaoji closed his eyes slightly and listened to this almost a cappella song. He couldn't help but sigh: "This sound and this song are just right with the accompaniment of the Xiqin. The less is too boring and dry, and the more is superfluous. It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's moist."
The rhyme is excellent! He is indeed the number one singer in Kaifeng, Li Shishi."
When the song finished, many people in the audience recognized the owner of the song.
"Master Li!" Someone let out a heart-rending roar. It was a miserable cry made after many desires but failed.
At the same time, countless Song Dynasty licking dogs were like wild dogs that had escaped the reins. They couldn't wait to go out, surrounded the staff, and asked to turn their admiration into a series of numbers, put them on a large cardboard, and then let Li Shishi see it.
.
Well, my numbers completely represent my thoughts. Master Li will definitely see them. Once he sees them, he will be able to understand my thoughts. Maybe he will invite me to watch the stars together tomorrow.
Wow! When I think of this, the corners of my eyes are filled with tears of affection.
There are also many people who are secretly guessing who wrote the new words that Master Li can sing so well! Zhou Meicheng (Zhou Bangyan)? The words and sentences are not very similar. In the tenth year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred back to Kaifeng City and took up a job at Chengkyun University and
In Kobun-in, one day he got drunk and wrote a poem to satirize the new Dazai Yuan Duong.
When I woke up, I was scared to death, so I invited myself to "lecture" at Jiangning University, and left Kaifeng City in a hurry - everyone said that Zhou Meicheng and Kaifeng City were incompatible.
Zhao Si looked at Ming Zhaoxia and asked with a smile: "Are you going to show off my words?"
The last time I went out to Lingbei, my guard happened to shoot a wild goose, and the other one surrounded me with its mournful cry and wouldn't leave for a long time. Then I had a sudden inspiration - the key is that I remembered this missing word deep in my memory, so I wrote it down
, sent back to Kaifeng for appreciation by Zeng and others - the emperor and his concubines also need some fun.
Ming Chaoxia smiled and said, "Your Majesty wrote this poem so well that it should be widely known. After Li Shishi sang it today, I believe it will soon be famous all over the country."
"The world only knows that I have great talent and great strategy, but I am a vulgar person who has no sense of style. If you preach like this, others will not believe it."
"Then I don't care about my concubine. After the official has made such an unparalleled contribution, how can he still covet the fame of these poems? With or without these poems, the official will still be famous in history; but this poem was written by the official, but it is his
An honor.”
Zhao Si chuckled: "You can speak, and you will give an award speech later. You can go ahead."
Ming Zhaoxia shook her head and said triumphantly: "I'll go, I'll go. I am also the honorary chairman of many competitive associations such as the Women's Dragon Boat Racing Association, the Women's Polo Association and so on!"
"Look how proud you are." Zhao Si said with a smile, without any intention of blaming him.
In recent years, Ming Zhaoxia made a public appearance and advocated women's self-improvement, which was equivalent to encouraging women to earn their own living. Although it caused some objections from some defenders, it essentially alleviated the increasingly serious labor shortage in the Song Dynasty.
With the rise of various industries, the development of commerce and trade, construction, land reclamation...manpower is needed everywhere.
In the second year of Tianqi, the Shangshu Province formulated measures to encourage childbirth, and also vigorously promoted various measures to reduce maternal risks and improve infant survival rates. However, there was no time, and it would take more than ten years for the current generation to become a labor force.
Freeing some women to relieve labor tension became a default strategy of the court.
The race begins, the horn blows, all the noisy gongs and drums just now stop, and the arena becomes extremely quiet again - the dragon boat rowers need to listen to the drums on their own boats to control the rhythm, and no noise is allowed to interfere with the competition at this time.
.
With the sound of the cannon, eight dragon boats flew out like arrows from the bowstring, gliding across the water.
The eight-sided drum seems to be competing fiercely with its opponents. The rhythm is chasing each other without giving up, and it actually creates the momentum of thousands of troops fighting against each other.
After passing the middle line, the eight dragon boat teams were divided into three echelons. Lingnan Nanhai Chamber of Commerce Team, Jiangning Prefecture Dafeng Cotton Mill Team, Shanghai County Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant Team, and Zhejiang Donghai Chamber of Commerce Team were last. The top three teams were completely hopeless. Support them.
The only motivation to continue the competition is that no one wants to be the last one and be ridiculed for a year.
Kaifeng Fengheng Yuxing Team and Huaidong Huai Salt Industry Team are the second echelon, and they are fighting for third place.
The Kodong Commercial Bank team and the Lianghu Reclamation Team were far ahead, almost parallel. One moment, the Kodong team rushed out half a head, and the next moment, the Lianghu team was over an arm's length away.
The rowers on both sides were trying their best, and the muscles in their arms seemed to explode in the next moment, and the rowing oars seemed to split Jinmingchi into pieces. The drums sounded one after another, as dense as raindrops.
As we get closer and closer to the finish line, the competition between the two ships has become fierce. Both sides are trying their best, but neither can throw away their opponents.
The five referees were a little nervous, and each stood at different positions to observe. The two boats were too close, and it was easy to make a misjudgment. Misjudgment in this situation would lead to riots.
Many spectators stood up nervously and clenched their fists. At this time, everyone in the audience automatically divided into two groups, those who supported the Jiangdong team or those who supported the Lianghu team.
The Lianghu Reclamation Team suddenly broke out in the last ten meters and accelerated the pace again. The Kodong Commercial Bank team was exhausted and could no longer break out. They could only watch their opponents win the championship with a two-foot lead!
"Ah!" Countless people looked up to the sky and roared! Waving their fists at the sky. The commentator in the explanation seat held up the tin trumpet and shouted hysterically: "The two lakes reclamation team united - win the championship!"
"Bang-bang-bang!" Dozens of fireworks were shot into the sky and exploded violently in the air, making them colorful.
Yue Zhuoqun felt all this. When the Lianghu team won the championship, he, like many others, shed tears of excitement. He looked around, his heart was surging, and he murmured: "This is the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty!"
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis: This chapter has been completed!
