Today is the first official match of the new Cuju Competition. The two teams are the Huangtian Team and the Grassroots Team. Because the predecessor is the Royal Cuju Team, this game can be said to be full of gimmicks. The audience has already been excited before it even started.
A lot.
As the opponent of the Huangtian team, the grassroots team has always been an unknown team composed of ordinary people. Sometimes I think it is very ironic. Seventy percent of the audience in this game were present.
Those who support the Royal Cuju Team, and the audience present today, are all ordinary people, and most of them are from the outer city. As ordinary people, most of them support the Royal Cuju Team. Only Chen Chen
It is very wonderful that my father, Lao Chen, is the leader, and there are also some friends from the outer city who support the grassroots team.
If we follow common sense, everyone should prefer to see the weak defeat the strong, and the common people's team defeat the royal team. This is a normal phenomenon. After all, the same people should cheer for Chen Chen's grassroots team.
There are two main reasons for this wonderful phenomenon. One is that the Huangtian team is really too famous. You know, before, the people in Bianliang City only had a handful of opportunities every year.
Being able to see the Royal Cuju Team, that is, Wang Da and Wang Yi. Moreover, even these opportunities were given to the people in the inner city. Many of the people in the outer city who came to watch the game today were members of the Royal Sky Team.
No one has ever seen it before. This is curiosity. Everyone wants to see what the guy who performs Cuju for the emperor looks like. Moreover, what the emperor can see can now be seen by himself. In this way,
The vanity of these people has been greatly satisfied. This is the most critical reason. It is not because the grassroots team is not good, but because they want to be a master so that they do not feel the difference between them and the emperor.
The gap is the most critical reason.
The reason why more people choose to support the Huangtian team is because of a more direct reason, which is the football lottery. As the first official game, this football lottery, because of Lu Geng’s carelessness, the people’s football lottery in this first game
The amount of betting did not meet Lu Yao's standard. However, because Zhao Zhen did not pay much attention to this experimental version of football lottery, Zhao Zhen would not blame Lu Geng even if he did not make much money.
However, because of Lu Yao's suggestions and patient explanations that day, many people still chose to buy football lottery tickets. Among them, most of them were people who had spent a lot of money to buy lottery tickets at lottery stations before.
They have become a new force in football lottery. And since they have spent money to buy football lottery, of course everyone hopes to come to the scene for today’s game to witness the final victory of the team they bought. By then, the football game is won, and their own
My wallet is also bulging, which is the most fulfilling thing. This is much more interesting than staying at the lottery station to watch the boring lottery results.
Therefore, Lu Yao dared to say that from the effect point of view, at least half of the audience present today, that is, two to three hundred people, had bought lottery tickets and came to watch the game. And those who bought lottery tickets,
He has his own analysis of the strength of the two teams. I believe that without Lu Yao having to say much, a fool can figure out which of the two teams is stronger on paper. Naturally, the predecessor is Royal Cuju.
team’s Huangtian Team, so more people finally chose to bet on the Huangtian Team. Let me make a digression here. In fact, these friends around Lu Yao, whether it is to support Lu Yao’s face, or to say that they are
No matter if you are interested in football lottery, most of them have bought some football lottery.
Among them, apart from Zhe Kexing who bought the grassroots team to win, Pan Wen and Cao You finally chose the Huangtian team to win. Although Pan Wenming supported Chen Chen on the surface, he also helped the grassroots team speak for themselves, but in reality
When it came to the football lottery, Pan Wen still felt that the Huangtian team would have a greater chance of winning and making money, let alone Cao Yu. This was naturally based on his own most objective judgment of the two teams.
In addition to these two problems, there are other reasons that prevent the audience from supporting the grassroots team. This reason is also easy to understand. Now, it is not only the court officials who regard the grassroots team as Lu Yao's team.
, some people also know that Chen Chen himself was personally selected by Lu Yao from the outer city. Although this Cuju competition was held by the royal family, Lu Yao also worked very hard in organizing it. Apart from anything else, the venue for this Cuju competition
The design, as well as the rules of the competition, are all written by Lu Yao. Therefore, no one should know more about the new Cuju competition than Lu Yao. And Chen Chen’s grassroots team was personally selected by Lu Yao
The team will most likely benefit from the dividends of Lu Yao, the rule designer, and become stronger. Because of this, in the eyes of these people now, the grassroots team is not that kind of ordinary people's team at all, and has already changed.
It is no longer a secret that Lu Yao took the imperial examination, and Lu Yao's industry is doing well and he is enjoying a good life in the court, which is also known to all the people. Everyone agrees that no matter it is
For whatever reason, it is certain that Lu Yao wants to enter the official career. Otherwise, there is no need for him to take the exam after the emperor has already given him an official position. The purpose is very simple, just to prove himself and enter the court.
among.
And because of this, it is impossible for Lu Yao to let his team defeat the Huangtian team in this Cuju competition. If that is the case, Lu Yao will be equivalent to cutting off his own escape route. How will he enter by then?
In the court? Therefore, in this game, Lu Yao himself should also hope to see the grassroots team lose. After all, the emperor Zhao Zhen came to watch the game in person today, so from this perspective, the result of this game
, it should be the Huangtian team that wins.
However, judging from the results of the first half alone, it is the small group of people, mainly Lao Chen, who now has the upper hand. Although watching football in the Song Dynasty is different from modern football, once the team loses in modern football
When two goals are scored or there is no possibility of a comeback, the fans watching the game will have already left the game or started to curse. They will even stay outside the venue after the game, waiting for the team bus.
when coming out

Do some extreme behavior.
However, after all, this is just the first official game of the new Cuju competition. The audience is ordinary people. It is the first time that they know the rules of this new Cuju competition, so naturally there will not be the same audience as on the football field.
situation. Therefore, at the end of the half, the audience showed no sign of leaving. On the contrary, they became more active. They could not wait to see what the second half of the game would be like.
Of course, having said that, even if the people in the outer city buy football lottery with the mentality of giving it a try, basically the amount of money each person buys is not too much, but after all, it is their hard-earned money. No matter how you say it,
They earned it bit by bit, and no one wants to see their hard-earned money wasted. After all, there is a big difference between this football lottery and ordinary lottery. Unlike ordinary lottery, football lottery can at least control the game by itself.
Both sides have a basic analysis. Taking this game as an example, basically everyone will think that the winning side is the Huangtian team. Therefore, whether it is a penny or a consistent bet, it is the continuation of these ordinary people. They are
They don't want the money they invested to not get greater benefits in the end. This is the reason why they are really willing to stay here and continue to watch the second half of the game.
Moreover, it is also because of this that the people present who support the Huangtian team have started to cheer for the Huangtian team again after a brief silence in the first half after the grassroots team's Luo Wen scored.
It can be said that the "gambling" culture in the Song Dynasty was very serious. From the emperor to the officials at all levels, they were basically involved in gambling. As ordinary people, they had few opportunities to participate in such activities.
, the reason is also very simple. If you don’t have enough capital, you can’t live your life, let alone have the money to participate in such gambling activities.
There were many types of gambling in the Song Dynasty, such as chess, dice, fighting, coin throwing, cards, etc.
Among them, chess gambling benefited from the basic determination of the rules of Go and Xiangqi during the Song Dynasty. Participation in chess sports was very high at that time. Gamblers not only used property as a lottery ticket, but also personally went out to invite people to participate in chess sports. Bystanders
You can also place bets before starting to play chess. The categories of bets include winning or losing the game, how many pieces you can win in Go, how long it will take to finish chess, etc. Betting on dice is still a form of gambling that still exists in society today.
There are many ways to play ancient games in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. There are Shuanglu, Cai Xuan, Horse Racing, Reduce Red, Xiang Xin, etc. Among them, the most advanced method is Xiang Xin: scholar-bureaucrats gamble and the public will call before the game starts.
A few beauties will win or lose by operating dice and walking on the carpet. The stakes are very large, and the gameplay is also quite complex. Not only does throwing the dice require luck, but it also requires the cooperation of the beauties. Fighting games include cock fighting and duck fighting.
, goose fighting, quail fighting, horse fighting, running dog fighting, fighting weaving. Adhering to the principle that all animals can be fought, this type of gambling behavior is not affected by the venue, people and bets. People who participate in this type of game in society
There are quite a lot of them, mainly among the folk. As a fan of Douxu Weaving, Jia Sidao also wrote a special book "Douxu Weaving".
Throwing a coin refers to throwing a coin, and betting on the head when it lands is just the most basic way of playing it. Grab a handful of coins, put them in a container and shake them vigorously. Betting on the number of coins in the container and the number of heads and tails is more advanced.
"Rong Zhai's Wubi" said: Today, when people gamble with money, they all count it in four numbers and spread it out. This behavior is simple and fast, and almost everyone can participate.
As for those who participated in gambling, throughout the Song Dynasty, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the great poet Li Qingzhao, and Kou Zhun were the most famous.
According to folklore, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin gambled with Taoist priest Chen Tuan and lost the entire Huashan Mountain.
When Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured by the Jin soldiers, although they were very panicked, they did not forget to bring chess. This shows how serious this trend was in the Song Dynasty. And under the influence of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty was also very good
Gambling. Daozong of the Liao Dynasty even threw dice in the court to decide who could be promoted. Kou Zhun's gambling addiction even affected the fate of the Song Dynasty. According to legend, during the Jingde period of Zhenzong, Liao soldiers invaded on a large scale and attacked Kaifeng, a city not far from the capital.
Far below Chanzhou City.
Song Zhenzong was very frightened and prepared to accept the advice of the ministers and run away quickly. At this critical moment, Prime Minister Kou Zhun disappeared unexpectedly. After asking about it, Song Zhenzong found out that Kou Zhun was drinking and gambling at home. Everyone thought Song Zhenzong
He must have been very angry after hearing this, but he didn't expect that after hearing the news that Kou Zhun was gambling at home, Song Zhenzong seemed to have taken a piece of reassurance and felt that Kou Zhun must be confident about repelling the Liao soldiers.
Later, Kou Zhun persuaded Song Zhenzong to lead the expedition himself, but Song Zhenzong was still without a master and was very frightened when he went to the battlefield. At this time, he sent people to see what Kou Zhun was doing, and his subordinates came back and reported that Kou Zhun was gambling in the camp.
Zhenzong became very calm in an instant. As a result, this personal expedition was really successful, and Song Zhenzong returned with a great victory. Kou Zhun's "good gambling" played a very important role in this victory. His "good gambling" drove away
In order to understand Song Zhenzong's inner fear, imagine that if Song Zhenzong fled at first, the morale of the Song army would be greatly affected, and the capital would be very likely to be breached by the Liao soldiers.
The emperor loves gambling, what scruples do ministers have? "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Zhang Dexiang" records that "Dexiangchang played with Yang Yi and Li Zong'e's family. He lost three hundred thousand in one night and slept soundly. He will gamble in the future.
If you win, you will get a dowry of Zong'e's gold. After a few days of betting, you lose again, that is, you will turn against the dowry and Zong'e, and you will not be awarded the title." This should be considered a big gamble!
Jia Sidao, a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was an out-and-out gambler. Who was he still the prime minister? Because he liked to fight with crickets, he was called the "Cricket Prime Minister". "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Jia Sidao": "Like the Tao, he rarely fell into trouble, and he was a good traveler.
"Bo, you have nothing to do with your conduct." "I tried to fight crickets with a group of concubines in the local area. The guests teased me by saying: 'This military country focuses on evil things.'"
Gambling is prevalent in the officialdom, and scholar-bureaucrats naturally have to follow the example. Even for the future of the motherland, those talented people who are taking exams are not exempt from this custom. "Chunzhu Chronicles" records: Liu Zhongfu, a native of the late Northern Song Dynasty, "came to the capital from Jiangxi.
While traveling to Qiantang... one morning I got up and suddenly a banner was hung in front of my residence saying: "Liu Zhongfu, a chess player from the south of the Yangtze River, is the first chess player in the world."
The upper class likes gambling, which naturally affects the folk customs. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there are countless records about folk gambling, and even
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
At that time, there were already professional gamblers and local gangsters who made a living by gambling. The behavior of "tricksters" also flourished at that time. The ultimate goal of gambling is to make money. In the casino, there are unscrupulous tricks and intrigues.
People in the Song Dynasty often called this kind of people "idlers", "loafers" or "nangjia". The appearance of these people corrupted the social atmosphere, and they were the existence of the dark side of society.
As for the great poet Li Qingzhao, when she was on the run, the first thing she did after settling down was to take out her gambling equipment and start gambling. She also created a method called "beating horses" and wrote a book about it.
She was very proud of the article "Preface to the Picture of Horse Fighting"! She also claimed that she had never lost and won a lot of money! Li Qingzhao listed more than twenty kinds of "gambling" game methods in her article
, but among the more than 20 kinds of variety, some she thought were too vulgar; some she thought were just luck and did not show wisdom; some she thought were too difficult and there were too few people who knew how to play, so she simply couldn't find them.
To the opponent - the "Eastern Invincible" in the entire world.
According to Li Qingzhao herself, she created a gambling game called "horse racing". What exactly horse racing is, it has been lost and we have no way of knowing. However, it is said that someone has verified that horse racing is the predecessor of today's mahjong.
, it seems that playing mahjong all night long is one of Li Qingzhao’s hobbies. When we often watch ancient TV series, we will find that many people go to casinos to gamble in various ways, such as playing dice and betting big and small. Many of them are
They lose all their money and lose their entire family. Nowadays, many people are addicted to gambling and ignore their families. Therefore, gambling is highly discouraged. I can only say here that small gambling is pleasant, but big gambling is harmful to the body!
Just make sure you know it well.
The reason why Lu Yao created lottery and football lottery was to grasp the trend of the Northern Song Dynasty. Lu Yao did not want to make any more comments on the pros and cons. However, it is indeed possible to make money in this way, and the treasury and Zhao Zhen's own pockets
It has also become swollen due to the development of the lottery industry.
"It seems that these spectators are betting on us to win." At this time, in the Huangtian team's rest area on the field, Wang Yi had already done warm-up exercises. He looked at the reaction of the audience and said with a smile.
Wang Da looked at Wang Yi, his expression was not so relaxed, and said: "It's good to know. It's not just the audience. I think the emperor himself has bought a lot that our team can win. Once this one-to-zero score is really
Until the end, we all know what the outcome will be."
Naturally, this sentence was not spoken to Wang Yi alone, but to all the players of the Huangtian team present. Obviously, the score of 1 to 0 in the first half, whether it was the starting players or the substitutes, the entire
The fifteen members of the Huangtian team all felt very unconvinced. It was clear that their side had the initiative on the field. However, they did not expect to adopt a crazy offensive strategy. Not only did they not score a goal, they also allowed the opponent to seize the opportunity. Now it is one to zero.
Leading the Royal Sky Team.
The first person to reply was the left winger who replaced Wang Yi in the starting lineup. He said that there was something wrong with his passing. If it weren't for his technical problems, he might have scored a goal long ago.
For this, Wang Da did not blame the forward player very much. In fact, when they discussed today's starting lineup with Wang Yi, the two of them had already thought of it, because they had not cooperated with other forward players much before.
There will be situations like offensive mistakes on the left side, but Wang Da really didn't expect that Chen Chen might have calculated this, so the defense on the left side became the breakthrough point in the first half. Now it seems that the grassroots team
You may have known that Wang Da did not have a tacit understanding of cooperation with this striker, so he deliberately lured the Huangtian team to attack from the left, which could effectively reduce the offensive efficiency of the Huangtian team.
Wang Da first stimulated the members of the Huangtian team with words, and then Wang Yi also played the role of a white face and said: "Don't worry too much, there is still so much time in the second half. When it comes to strength, I believe we are completely
Crush the opponent."
"So, you watched the entire first half of the game from the sidelines, have you found a countermeasure?" Wang Da said.
Wang nodded, looking confident, and said: "First of all, what is certain is that in the second half, both of us will definitely make substitutions. Basically, the five substitutes will be replaced. The overall physical strength of both sides is still the same.
stage. I think that our formation can be changed by then. Just let the two of us take charge of the frontcourt. At the same time, we should strengthen the conduction of the midfield. I found that although the grassroots team's defense is stable, they are not
Adopt aggressive fighting tactics, and in the second half, we could just take advantage of this and create many opportunities, that's all we need..."
Afterwards, Wang Xiaosheng had a conversation with Wang Da. Wang Da was very satisfied with the suggestions given by Wang Yi and said: "Well. It seems that the initiative is still in our hands, and you didn't have any in the first half."
Rest in vain.”
Wang nodded, then looked at the grassroots team and said, "But I really didn't expect that Chen Chen's tactics were so exquisite. Even your breakthrough methods and coping strategies were planned by him. Otherwise, Lu Yang wouldn't
Maybe he could complete that steal. I originally thought that when he started playing today, he was a player on the field from the beginning, not a coach, so the grassroots team might be very single in terms of tactics and have reduced on-the-spot adaptability. Now it seems,
Or I underestimated Chen Chen."
Wang Da said: "Yes, I think so too. It seems that Chen Chen is brave and resourceful. After you come on the field in the second half, you can make timely adjustments to their new tactics. I think we all have to admit it."
, I still underestimated the fake Chen Chen before, but now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that such a shrewd person like Lu Yao would choose Chen Chen to be his housekeeper. I didn’t understand it at first, but now I understand.”
"Yeah, I wonder what he is thinking about now?"
After saying this, Wang Da and Wang Yi both looked towards the distance, where was the grassroots team's rest area.
It is different from the atmosphere in the Huangtian team, which is slightly nervous. Anyway, the grassroots team is now in a leading situation, so the atmosphere in the rest area is still good. The happiest thing is the victory in the first half
