Tangxi took the manuscript that Lu Yao had just given to her to the center of the outer city, and started shouting with great effort.
Not to mention, I thought no one would notice him, but Tang Xi's shouting really attracted a lot of people's attention.
Tangxi was wondering. He said in his heart that he didn't bring anything like gongs and drums to make a louder noise. He just said a few words with a loud voice. How could he attract so much attention?
"What you just said is that as long as you participate in the competition, you will get ten coins. Is that true?"
At this moment, a young man walked up to Tang Xi and said.
Tangxi looked at the young man and saw that he was surrounded by many people. Obviously, they were all very concerned about the question that the young man had just asked.
Sure enough, it turned out that everyone's attention was not on what Tangxi was going to announce, which was to recruit people to form a Cuju team. Instead, everyone became interested in the generous rewards.
Tangxi cleared her throat, looked at the young man, and said, "Of course, my master will pay for it and I will keep my promise."
"I think it's probably fake."
"That's right, ten guan of money, or ten guan of money for one person, how can it be such a good thing."
"Even if it does happen, it won't be our turn."
"Listen to what he said just now. He said that the captain had eighty guan of money to take. Is the person who paid the money sick?"
Listening to these people's private discussions, Tang Xi felt both ridiculous and pitiful.
For people like them, four words can best describe them, like a frog in a well. I used to be one of them. He was in a state of confusion every day and didn't think about anything else. As long as he could eat enough and spend the day, that was his greatest luxury.
.
However, I can't blame them. This place and this era are so cruel and ruthless.
Tangxi listened to their discussion and said loudly: "I know what everyone is worried about. You think it is too easy to make money, don't you? But my master always keeps his word, and this Cuju competition is for
You have a chance to change yourselves. Do you really not want to take money and live in the inner city? I am just like you. I was once a beggar here. I chose to believe in my master. Now I live in the inner city.
Very good, I hope you can also seize this opportunity."
After following Lu Yao for a long time, Tang Xi also learned some of these words, although he knew that his speech was definitely not as good as Lu Yao's impromptu speech.
However, for the ordinary people in the outer city, Tangxi's speech just now really moved them.
In particular, Tangxi revealed her identity and said that she was also from the outer city, which gave these people a very strong sense of belonging.
The young man saw that Tang Xi was very arrogant, so he continued to ask: "May I ask who your master is?"
Tangxi said: "My master is exactly what everyone in Bianliang City knows about recently, Lu Yao, Mr. Lu."
"Lu Yao?"
Although these people are in the outer city, they still know Lu Yao's name to some extent. Especially not long ago, Lu Yao bought a piece of land in the outer city from Bao Zheng at a huge price, and became a
These are the interesting things that residents from other cities talk about when chatting.
Now think about it, Zhao Zhen blamed Bao Zheng, thinking that it was a bit cheap for him to sell the land to Lu Yao for only two to three thousand guan. You know, these two to three thousand guan, in Zhao Zhen's opinion
It was a very small amount, and in Bao Zheng's opinion, it was a very satisfactory charge for Lu Yao.
However, in the eyes of these people, this is a sky-high price of wealth. And for these people, you ask them to know whether the price Lu Yao bought this land is appropriate, or whether he bought this land
The significance of building a stadium is really a bit overwhelming. They are basically uneducated people.
To them, Lu Yao spent such a high price to buy a piece of land in the outer city. In their opinion, he probably had money but no place to spend it, or he had a fever and was confused. Therefore, Lu Yao's purchase of land has become a
They chatted after dinner.
They were very surprised as to why this young man Lu Yao, who had recently become a popular figure in Bianliang City, was so obsessed with buying a piece of land in the outer city area, a place where no one can shit.
Back to the present moment, when the young man heard that it was Lu Yao's name, he confirmed it with Tangxi.
As a native of the outer city, Tangxi naturally knew what everyone present was thinking. Previously, when Luyao's cement factory workers collectively arrived at that land to build a stadium, they had already attracted many people to watch.
, but they were just watching the fun. In their opinion, Lu Yao really wanted to do something with this land. But according to their thinking, Lu Yao, a rich man, was just a little tired.
Living in the inner city, he wanted to buy another house in the outer city to satisfy his curiosity.
Tangxi looked at the young man and said seriously: "Yes, it's Mr. Lu Yao. And I might as well tell you directly that Mr. Lu bought a piece of land in this outer city before. I believe you all know it. But you don't
What I know is that the purpose of this land is to hold the Cuju competition in the future."
"You mean, the new Cuju competition ordered by the emperor will be held on the land bought by Lu Yao?" the young man asked.
Tang Xi nodded and said: "Yes, so you should be able to believe it now. Mr. Lu attaches great importance to this competition, and it is organized by the royal family. Since he can spend thousands of dollars to buy land, he will not
I’m short of ten guan of money from just one of you.”
"But, where is the money?" Another person in the crowd shouted loudly.
Tangxi turned around, pointed towards the place where the Bird's Nest was, and said: "Master Lu brought the money and is now near the Bird's Nest Stadium. However, Master Lu said that only those who have signed up can go there. Who of you is willing to sign up?"
?”
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, no one answered.
Tangxi was extremely annoyed. As expected, these people came just to watch the fun. In fact, this phenomenon is not uncommon in modern times. No matter what kind of accident it is, there will always be some incidents before the police or relevant personnel arrive at the scene.
People appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared around the accident scene.
Then wait until the relevant personnel arrive, or wait for the next time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After a while, if it feels boring, the group of people will leave immediately, and the scene will become deserted again.
This situation is more understandable when it comes to the current environment of Tangxi. From the time Tangxi started shouting, these people basically came here for the ten dollars, but naturally there was also watching the excitement.
Yes, after all, although there are no big restrictions, you can't sign up for this competition even if you are in your 70s or 80s, or if you are extremely weak.
Then, everyone's attention was focused on the man who was willing to spend so much money to hire a team member. After confirming Lu Yao's identity and his purpose of buying the wasteland at a high price, everyone's interest
It's basically gone.
So, when Tangxi actually asked who wanted to sign up, these people basically left immediately.
Tangxi couldn't help but sigh, they are really a bunch of guys with no ambition.
"I want to go, I want to be the captain."
At this time, the young man who had just asked the question spoke.
Tangxi looked this young man up and down. It can be seen from this guy's physique that he basically does some high-intensity physical work every day in the outer city. His physique is obvious, although he cannot be said to be tall or tall.
But judging from Tangxi's many years of experience as an escort, this guy's strength and speed are much better than ordinary people.
From a physical point of view, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Do you want to be the captain directly? The captain has many requirements." Tangxi hesitated for a moment, then took out Lu Yao's manuscript just now, found the captain's special requirements, and then asked Lu Yao to
The captain's request was explained to the young man.
This naturally includes the captain's responsibilities, as well as some precautions, as well as the reward and punishment mechanism, the captain's special punishment, etc.
The young man kept nodding his head, and Tang Xi observed while talking, and saw that the young man was indeed listening carefully to the precautions he said, instead of having an attitude of saying that he would talk about these things later just for money.
When Tang Xi finished the last point, the young man nodded and said: "I have written down everything you said, and I will try my best to do it. Of course, if something goes wrong with me, you want to take part of the money back."
, I also accept it, but do we need to establish a written document?"
Tangxi said: "This is natural. When you become the captain, Mr. Lu Yao will personally sign the contract with you."
"That's good, I have another question."
"you say."
"This money can be given to me immediately when I can become the captain, right?"
Looking at the young man's firm eyes, it seemed that he was determined to win, so Tangxi said: "This is natural. I just said that Master Lu came today with money."
"Then I will go find Mr. Lu Yao."
After saying that, the young man turned around and walked in the direction Tangxi pointed just now, which is where the Bird's Nest Stadium is.
However, after walking a few steps, Tangxi stopped him.
"It looks like you really need this money. Can you tell me why you want to participate?" Tangxi asked.
The young man said: "I am a useless person. My parents are old, but they have to live with me in the outer city every day. As for me, I can only do some physical work in the outer city every day. I can't do anything at all."
I couldn't make a few pennies. In fact, I didn't have a fire to cook at home for two days. I thought that if I could become a captain and take this money, I should be able to find a remote place to build a house among my inner workings and give it to the family.
My parents will take care of themselves until they die, and this is what I hope for in the rest of my life."
After saying that, the young man left Tangxi's sight.
"Is this what Mr. Lu often told me, the world is full of different things?" Tangxi sighed, but quickly cheered up again and continued to recruit team members.
Lu Yao's side.
Wang Da, Han Yonghe, and Han Wenyuan were all pacing back and forth at different frequencies. Looking at the direction, each one was more anxious than the other.
To say that among the three people, the one who is less anxious is probably Wang Da. He is a straight-tempered person, but no matter how little he understands the ways of officialdom, Wang Da knows very well that even if he really fails this time
If Zhao Zhen was to blame Zhao Zhen for finding a team, he would only be responsible for a small part of it. Originally, he was ready to find a team, but when the three parties were meeting that day, Han Yonghe suddenly showed up.
He came out and said that he would help Wang Da find the team. This cola ruined Wang Da, so that he would not have to bear the main responsibility. Although Wang Da did not want to see this situation happen now, after all, he did not find the team in the end.
He will be punished, but compared to Han Yonghe who took the initiative to take over the task of finding the team, he only played a supporting role, so there will be no big punishment.
So now, even when Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan are both very worried, Wang Da doesn't seem too anxious. Of course, the reason why Wang Da is calm now is probably because of Lu Yao.
Whether it's Pan Yuanwu, Han Yonghe, Cao Yi, or even Lu Yao's father Lu Xu, although they all know that Lu Yao is a very talented and capable young man, even if they somewhat agree with Lu Yao's ability in their hearts
, However, in the eyes of these people, if Lu Yao, a young man, is compared with himself, there is still a certain gap in terms of experience and behavior.
Among these people, the first one who truly recognized Lu Yao was his father, Lu Xu. Before the conversation late that night, even though Lu Yao had made so much money, Lu Yao still looked down upon Lu Yao in his eyes.
, he felt that this child was still a little unprofessional. However, after that conversation, Lu Xu finally recognized Lu Yao and began to fully support Lu Yao in the Cuju competition.
However, in addition to Lu Rui, although the Cao family and the Han family also understood that Lu Yao was capable, it was not easy to admit that he was stronger than themselves.
This is the case for officials and literati, who talk a lot. Rough people like Wang Da have become Lu Yao's fans after the last meeting. In Wang Da's view, Lu Yao has
As for his ability, he can always arrange and plan everything in advance, and as for himself, he only needs to complete it according to Lu Yao's design. Such a person will definitely achieve great things in the future.
See, people with different personalities have different ideas.
And at this time,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Even more anxious are Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan. Especially Han Wenyuan. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Han Wenyuan, as the eldest young master of the Han family, can be said to have unlimited fame, Han Wenyuan knows in his heart that the reason why outsiders do this
Such thoughts are probably due to his status as the eldest young master of the Han family.
In the eyes of others, as long as Han Yonghe is still in the position of minister, Han Yonghe is basically in charge of the Han family, and Han Wenyuan basically doesn't have anything to do.
Although the Cuju competition held this time is not a serious matter, it is held by the royal family. Besides, except the Han family, the Pan family and the Cao family are all led by their younger generations. Cao You and Pan
Wen Qu is responsible for related matters.
Therefore, the person in charge of this Cuju competition in the Han family is naturally Han Wenyuan. This is a rare opportunity for Han Wenyuan, and he initially planned to handle this matter beautifully.
Yes, let everyone else see that Han Wenyuan's abilities are no worse than his father's.
However, the reality is contrary to the development direction he imagined.
Because of the reputation of the Royal Cuju Team, in the end it was impossible to find a team that was willing to compete with the team led by Wang Da. Han Wenyuan began to feel a little at a loss after several of his friends were rejected.
.
As mentioned before, Han Wenyuan would never adopt the method of finding common people to form a team. Deep down, he looked down on these common people.
Compared with Han Wenyuan, the sons of several other families obviously managed things much more smoothly than Han Wenyuan. Lu Yao had revealed to Han Wenyuan more than once before that all the team members hired by Pan Wen from the Pan family were...
He is a capable general, and in Lu Yao's opinion, he is very capable of competing for the winning team. This shows that Pan Wen is obviously better than Han Wenyuan in selecting team members. And the other one is Han Yonghe.
As for the archrival Cao Yi's family, the person in charge of finding the team members is the eldest son Cao You. Although Cao You may not be as good as Han Wenyuan's own team in terms of quality of personnel, they have fully implemented Lu Yao's original intention of organizing this competition.
Whenever he thinks about this, Han Wenyuan only feels that he is completely defeated in the competition between these three younger generations. Although he does not want to admit it, in the end it will be Lu Yao who will step in to solve this last problem.
This team is the best proof.
Han Wenyuan was disheartened, and Han Yonghe couldn't help it. The first time he asked his son to do something, he ended up like this. Although Han Yonghe also knew that the main responsibility was not on Han Wenyuan, but when he thought about it,
He was about to face Cao Yi's cynicism, which made it difficult for him to raise his head in court. In fact, Han Yonghe was already prepared to claim illness and not go to court.
Lu Yao looked at the three people with different thoughts and said, "Don't be so gloomy. Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, someone will definitely come."
The three of them looked at Lu Yao one after another, with different expressions. At this point, they could only believe in Lu Yao's method, and they themselves could not think of any other way to find the team members.
Then, Lu Yao saw a young man about his own age walking towards him, glancing at the car with money next to him from time to time.
"You are Mr. Lu Yao." The young man stepped forward and said.
Lu Yao smiled and said: "There are four of us, how come you can tell it's me at a glance?"
The young man looked at the other three people, and then said: "Those two have somewhat similar looks. Judging from their age, they should be father and son. And this one, I dare to conclude that he is not Mr. Lu Yao, but more like he was born in
We are people from the outer city."
If ordinary people heard what the young man said, they would have been furious. Isn't this a disguised form of swearing? This is obviously saying that Wang Da doesn't look like a rich man, or he doesn't look like a businessman.
.However, it can be seen that this young man still thought about it before saying this, otherwise it might be more direct.
Fortunately, Wang Da is not a person who likes to think about this. When he heard what the young man said, he stepped forward and said, "I am from the outer city. I have good eyesight, boy."
Han Wenyuan and Han Yonghe on the side were trying not to laugh.
Lu Yao then said: "I am Lu Yao. Are you looking for me to join the Cuju team?"
The young man nodded and said, "My name is Chen Chen and I want to be the captain."
The other three people were stunned, and then Lu Yao asked: "Did that person tell you the rules just now? Including your opponent in the first round, and the extra things as a captain?"
Chen Chen nodded and said: "As I said, he introduced it in detail. I think you should have written that thing. After all, he doesn't have that level."
What he said made Lu Yao laugh.
Chen Chen continued: "The opponent in the first round is the Royal Cuju Team. I know this, but he told me that as the captain, I need to be selected. I don't know what the standard is."
Lu Yao said: "Simple."
After saying that, Lu Yao squatted down and did a push-up. This was exactly what Lu Yao asked Wang Da to do just now.
"Is this what you do?" Chen Chen asked.
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Yes, but you must be able to achieve at least eighty before I can let you serve as the captain. Do you think you can achieve it yourself?"
Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan didn't know, but Wang Da knew very well in his heart that he had done seventy just now. Although he didn't feel anything on the surface, he also felt that his physical strength was greatly consumed and he began to sweat.
Okay, is it really okay for this young man to do eighty in one breath? However, if he really reaches the standard, it will be more than enough to be the captain.
Chen Chen didn't answer, but squatted down and started doing it.
Lu Yao didn't say anything when he saw Chen Chen like this, but walked towards the carriage on the other side.
"Brother Lu, where are you going?" Han Wenyuan asked.
"Go to the carriage and get eighty coins. It seems like this guy should be fine. Just help me count them." Lu Yao waved his hand and went to the carriage to get the money.
Facts proved that Lu Yao's judgment was correct. Chen Chen did a total of eighty-five push-ups. After that, he began to sweat and pant. This would not have happened if he had not been doing physical work in this outer city all year round.
