When it comes to these eighty dollars, it can be said to be a lot or a lot less. For Lu Yao, money is just a number to him now. Speaking of it, in reality, although he is far less than what he was after time travel,
He has gained so much money, but he is still able to have enough food and clothing. His family is also very healthy, and the conditions are better than those of ordinary families.
Perhaps because of this, Lu Yao has never experienced the kind of hardship that his parents talked about since he was a child, or the clichéd four words, people's livelihood suffering.
Indeed, given Lu Yao's conditions, he really didn't realize what the growth process of many children from poor families was like. Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, divorce between husband and wife was still a big deal. Once a man and a woman had no feelings, they would write a story.
It is difficult for a woman who has been given a divorce letter to remarry. After all, not every man is a wife-controller like Boss Cao during the Three Kingdoms period.
However, in modern times, there are naturally not so many restrictions. Men can file for divorce, and women can also file for divorce once they find out that the man has behaved inappropriately. After two people divorce, the child will be raised by one party.
Compared with those children who grew up in single-parent families, Lu Yao is undoubtedly happy.
Precisely because Lu Yao's family and economic conditions are reasonable, he has never worried about money in modern times. Therefore, Lu Yao's view of money is that he does not seek to be rich and powerful, but to be the richest man in the world.
I want to have enough food and clothing. I can eat when I want and buy whatever I like. When I feel like going out to play, I can take a trip as soon as I can. Take good care of my parents first and second.
My wife and children are enough.
This point has not changed for Lu Yao from beginning to end. Even though he has now traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a wealthy person. But Lu Yao does not take the money seriously at all.
.However, it is really not the case to just leave the money at home in a big way. You are not afraid of thieves stealing it, but you are afraid that the thieves will remember you.
That's why Lu Yao came up with the idea of building a bank.
The appearance of the Tangxi group made Lu Yao feel that for these poor people, he should do something to change their current situation.
Later, the Cuju competition was held. In addition to the purpose of improving the physical fitness of the whole people, Lu Yao actually had a small selfish intention in private. That is, once the first Cuju competition was successful, the football lottery would definitely respond accordingly.
When it works, more people, including poor people, can use this sport to not only improve their physical fitness, but also form their own teams to participate in competitions to get bonuses. On the other hand, through football lottery, they can also
Allow yourself to gain certain benefits.
This is an organization that does no harm from top to bottom. In addition, Zhao Zhen has agreed that he will set up a supervisory organization when the time comes, so that there will be no shady cases.
Lu Yao knew clearly that in fact, these residents living in the outer city still longed to live in the inner city and live a life of plenty of food and clothing. Most of them were not discouraged or without ambition.
, it’s just that reality is gradually wearing away their will.
Even if it is not ancient times, if we put it into modern times, people who were born in poverty are reported to be blockbuster, highly educated, high-achieving, successful people. But you have to know, do these reported by the news media represent everything?
?In our country, there are still many children in mountainous areas who are struggling to have food. The society is so cruel.
Everyone says that one’s birth cannot determine a person’s life, but one’s birth will set a general direction for your development as soon as you are born, and it will continue to influence you as you grow.
.
Since he now has the opportunity to help these people change their current situation, Lu Yao is naturally obliged to do so, and in his current view, the cost he has to pay is not much.
Lu Yao walked to the cart and ordered someone to pick out 80 coins and put it on another empty cart. The cart driver originally wanted to help Lu Yao push it, but Lu Yao waved his hand and decided to push the cart himself.
He took the car and walked towards Chen Chen.
After Chen Chen finished eighty-five push-ups, he finally felt a little tired. However, because he had never been exposed to Cuju, let alone understand modern fitness, Chen Chen was still a little strange. This Lord Lu Yaolu did things a little differently.
, he would actually adopt this method to test himself. Could it be said that if you do this well, you can play Cuju well?
However, Chen Chen changed his mind and gave up this idea. The most important thing now was to earn the eighty dollars. He had already begun to imagine his parents' excited expressions when they saw the money.
Then, Chen Chen saw a man pushing a cart towards him. When he looked closely, he saw that it was Lu Yao himself pushing the cart.
The few people standing, Wang Da and Han Wenyuan, rushed over and helped Lu Yao push the cart containing the money.
"Why did you push this thing here by yourself? It actually has some weight." Han Wenyuan said.
Wang Da also said: "It's my fault. I was distracted just now. If I knew you were going to do this, I should have done it. I used to push carts a lot."
Pushing the car next to Chen Chen, Lu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Not to mention, I thought this thing was not particularly heavy, but now it seems that it is still quite heavy."
Chen Chen walked forward without saying a word, but just stared blankly at the cart containing eighty coins in front of him.
For a young man who grew up in an outer city and has been worrying about his livelihood, he has never seen so much money since he was born. In fact, although he had definitely seen Lu Yao just now, and
, that big man, that is, Tang Xi, was very serious when he introduced this competition to himself, but Chen Chen still didn't believe it. After all, he didn't see the money, and he had to do something by himself.
It’s not very difficult, I just try my best to participate in this Cuju competition. Can I really receive such a huge sum of money like 80 guan?
However, now, at this moment, when the money actually appeared in front of Chen Chen, he finally believed it.
The next second, he knelt down on his knees and started crying. He couldn't tell whether he was excited or excited.
Lu Yao did not call him, but looked at the other people and said, "He has done a lot

Fewer?"
Han Yonghe said: "Eighty-five, he is really strong. I think there should be no problem in letting him be the captain."
As soon as these words came out, Han Wenyuan and Wang Da on the side nodded repeatedly.
Lu Yao just thought it was funny and said in his heart, I still don’t know what you guys are thinking. It’s hard to find someone who is almost the same. Everyone knows that the captain is the most difficult to choose. You must also want to get the job done quickly and quickly.
, hurry up and finish the selection. Before changing, Han Yonghe would definitely choose this one and that one, but now it’s better, he will accept everyone who comes.
Chen Chen knelt for a while, stood up from the ground, and said, "Is this money really for me?"
Lu Yao said calmly: "It's natural. Didn't I just say that you passed my assessment, so the money will naturally be given to you. How about it? Let me keep my word."
In fact, Lu Yao had just seen that Chen Chen was actually worried about these people. This is normal. In modern times, this is because ordinary people basically have no contact with those who are officials, so they have concerns about government workers.
, I had a certain amount of skepticism at the beginning.
However, this eighty dollars is nothing more than a reassurance for Chen Chen.
Chen Chen bowed to Lu Yao and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. No, thank you, my benefactor. I will definitely be a good captain and won't let your money go to waste."
"Well, I think you are strong, so there shouldn't be any problem. Just do this. You can take the money home now and give it to your parents first. Then you can come back and we can
The contract is signed, how about it?" Lu Yao said.
When Han Wenyuan heard this, he immediately came forward. He looked down on these people the most. He whispered into Lu Yao's ear: "Brother Lu, are you not afraid that he will take the money back and not come back?"
"
Lu Yao shook his head and said: "Although it is an outer city, this is still Bianliang City. Moreover, Master Bao is here. If he really defaults on his debt, we can catch him in minutes. Besides, I don't think he is.
That kind of person."
Naturally, when Lu Yao said this, only he and Han Wenyuan could hear it.
Chen Chen nodded heavily, then walked to the cart and pushed the cart to leave.
It has to be said that Chen Chen's strength is quite strong. Lu Yao can see this from his movements and speed of pushing the cart.
Chen Chen's figure was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and came back.
"I have some friends who work with me in the outer city. I heard the big man say before that our team should have more than ten people in total. I can try my best to help find a few."
It turned out that Chen Chen was trying to help Lu Yao attract people.
Lu Yao said: "No problem, I'll wait for you here for an hour. They can come. As long as they don't have any serious illness, the people who work with you should be good. Just like what I said before, as long as they join
If you join the team, you’ll get ten guans per person.”
"Okay, it's a deal, I'll be here in an hour." After saying this, Chen Chen pushed the cart and left.
"Okay, let's find an inn nearby and take a rest. We'll come back here in an hour," Lu Yao said, looking around.
"What about Tangxi?" Han Wenyuan asked.
Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "I have already told him that after half an hour from now, let him meet us at the agreed-upon inn."
So, Han Wenyuan, Han Yonghe, Wang Da, plus the two cartmen pulling the cart containing the money, rushed to an inn called Guilu in the outer city.
Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan followed Lu Yao, and they communicated privately.
"How did Lu Yao know about this inn in the outer city?" Han Wenyuan asked.
Han Yonghe thought for a while, and suddenly a name appeared in his mind, and then said: "This inn was opened by Zhang Maocai. He has five inns in the inner city and two in the outer city. Lu Yao should have found it.
Zhang Maocai, please ask about this place."
"Then if Lu Yao goes to that inn, he will definitely not charge him."
"This is natural, but the fact that he can spend eighty guan to hire a young man to be the captain shows that he is not the kind of person who values money very much. This contact with Zhang Maocai is probably just for the convenience of rest."
"But Dad, should I say it or not, Lu Yao is really good to our family. Knowing that we couldn't find the team, he immediately spent his own money and effort to help us find it."
"Hmph, he and your little sister are getting married soon. Isn't it right for him to help our family more? Besides, this matter of finding an additional team was originally decided by me, but the idea is
If his team cannot find a team to participate in the competition, he will not be able to escape the blame if it reaches the emperor."
In fact, in Lu Yao's previous exchange with Zhang Maocai, Zhang Maocai once mentioned that he also has two inns in the outer city, one of which is the Return Inn. The reason why there are not many inns built in the outer city is also very clear, that is
, Rich people will basically choose inns in the inner city to live. It’s a rare trip to Bianliang, why don’t you take a nice walk in the inner city?
Secondly, most of those people living in inns in the outer city are going out on business. They just stay in the capital for a few days. Naturally, they can save money when going out for business. Furthermore, those who come to Beijing to take the exam do not have
If you have enough money to live in the inner city, just find a place to stay in the outer city.
According to Zhang Maocai, the combined annual income of these two inns is not as much as half of the annual income of Fulai Inn where Zhe Kexing currently lives. It is no wonder that Zhang Maocai only has two inns in this outer city.
Lu Yao asked casually and wrote down the address of the inn. He happened to find that the Return Inn was not too far from the Bird's Nest Stadium. We had to wait for an hour anyway, so he might as well go to that inn to rest for a while. As for Tangxi, Lu Yao
I have already told you that once the specified time is over, you will return the same way. If you don't see yourself, you will come to the Return Inn to find yourself.
A group of people entered the inn, and Lu Yao took a casual look. Indeed, compared to the environment and conditions of Fulai Inn, this place is obviously much cheaper.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao had another idea in his mind. Didn't you, Zhang Maocai, take advantage of the opportunity to gather all the team members and want to knock Lu Yao off? In the end, Lu Yao successfully dumped him to Zhao Zhen.
.Lu Yao will not let Zhang Maocai earn so much money.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Easy, don't you want to make money, then I will get a piece of the pie.
The location of the Return Inn is so close to the Bird's Nest. Although we still can't see its importance now, that's because the Bird's Nest has not been built yet. Zhang Maocai has also been busy arranging the accommodation of the team members. How can he think about it?
This thing about the outer city.
However, when the Cuju competition begins...
Lu Yao planned to wait until the emperor agreed to pay for the training and accommodation of the team members before joining Zhang Maocai's army.
At the inn, when they heard that Mr. Lu Yao had arrived, they greeted him with a smile. Zhang Maocai had probably told all the innkeepers about Lu Yao before. The shopkeeper of Guilu Inn led everyone to a room on the second floor.
In the upper room.
Although the condition and furnishings are a bit poor, compared to the rooms downstairs, it's pretty good.
Lu Yao asked the shopkeeper to prepare some good dishes and wine to entertain these people. The shopkeeper nodded quickly, and within a moment, some dishes and wine were brought out. The inn in the outer city actually also served Lu Yao's wine.
Lu Yao was a little surprised by the Immortal's wine, but after thinking about it carefully, there shouldn't be much wine. After all, not everyone who lives here can afford to drink the Immortal's wine.
Lu Yao looked at the others, and his expression seemed to have changed. It seemed that with the addition of team leader Chen Chen, everyone felt a little more at ease. They were not as anxious as when they were pacing back and forth before.
Then, Lu Yao looked at the dishes on the table, then looked at the three people, and said: "You have been tired for a long time, let's eat something first, although the dishes are definitely not as good as those made by Fan Lou or me.
Yes, but I have been hungry and have no energy. Anyway, there is good wine here, so let’s eat some first."
After saying that, Lu Yao picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Not to mention, the dishes at Guilu Inn are quite strong in taste, which may be related to the living habits of people in the outer city, unlike those in the inner city.
Eat something light. In Lu Yao's opinion, the food at the Return Inn is better than the food at some small restaurants in the inner city.
Several others saw that Lu Yao was already using his chopsticks, and felt that they were indeed hungry. Moreover, if everything went well, Chen Chen could bring some people back, so the team should have no problem.
So, the three of them also started eating, and after a while, all the food on the table was cleared away.
Sure enough, when people are hungry, they are basically not picky about food, and whatever they eat will taste delicious.
In addition to them, Lu Yao also arranged meals for the two coachmen in the lobby.
As soon as the four of them finished eating, someone entered the room. It turned out to be Tangxi.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Tangxi shook his head, so Lu Yao ordered two more dishes and asked Tangxi to talk while eating.
"Except for Chen Chen, there are five people here who have signed up. I asked them to go to the Bird's Nest Stadium in half an hour to collect money and sign contracts. Then you will inform them of the meeting place."
Tangxi didn't eat much, but drank a lot of wine. Lu Yao looked at it and knew that it must have taken a lot of effort to find these five people, but it made Tangxi himself dry.
Yes, that’s why I came over and drank a few glasses of wine.
"Sir, how is Chen Chen?" Tang Xi did not forget to ask Lu Yao about Chen Chen. In fact, although there were five people here, one of them looked a little fat. It seemed that he should be
The economic conditions in this outer city are relatively good, and the reason why he signed up is very simple, not for the ten dollars, but to change his current body shape. The other four people have the same purpose as Chen Chen, although they don't have any diseases.
, but there is a certain gap in physical fitness compared to Chen Chen and even Tang Xi himself. Originally, Tang Xi wanted to reject them, but he remembered what Lu Yao had told him before, as long as they were similar, he would not refuse anyone who came, and Tang Xi also knew the situation.
It was urgent, and there was no other time to choose people carefully now, so I agreed to them.
"You can see him in a while. I have given him the money. You rest here for a while, and then we will go to the Bird's Nest together. Chen Chen said that he will call some people over. Now counting him, there are six people.
, as long as he can bring six or seven more people."
As time passed, Lu Yao seemed confident, but Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan were a little worried. They had to pin their hopes on a common man. This was certainly something they didn't want to see.
After a while, Lu Yao saw that the time was almost up, so he asked everyone to leave the inn. He originally asked Tangxi to pay, but the shopkeeper said nothing and said that Zhang Mao had just told him that Lu Yao didn't care.
No matter which inn he went to, he didn't charge any money. Lu Yao was not polite, he just nodded his thanks and left.
When Lu Yao and others returned to the street near the Bird's Nest, they first saw the five people that Tang Xi had found. Lu Yao looked them up and down. What was different from Tang Xi's idea was that this time, Lu Yao was looking at
When they arrived at the slightly fat man, they didn't show any difference in treatment. On the other hand, Han Wenyuan and Han Yonghe looked a little confused on their faces. Their expressions were obviously telling them, how could they recruit all kinds of people?
?
"Everyone is here, let's sign the contract first."
As Lu Yao spoke, he took out the contract he had prepared before. Most of what was written on it had already been told to them by Tangxi when he recruited them. It was mainly done to prevent these people from disappearing after taking the money.
signed this contract.
After the contract was signed, Lu Yao asked Tang Xi to give each of them ten guan. Compared with the 80 guan that Chen Chen had received before, ten guan was naturally very small, but for these people, it was enough for them to survive for about half a year.
Then, Lu Yao told them to gather at Fulai Inn in the city tomorrow morning.
This was the time that was agreed upon before. The eight teams gathered there, then went into the palace to meet the saint, and then arrived at the designated location for training.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but think of Zhe Kexing, and wondered how his military training plan was going.
"Sir, look." Tangxi pointed to the direction where Chen Chen left just now.
Everyone looked around and saw that the person who came was none other than Chen Chen. Apart from him, there were actually nine people surrounding him.
Good guy, Chen Chen almost brought a whole team here by himself!
