Chapter 49: Formation of Cuju Temple (1)
The stadium has been settled, and Li Ke thought of forming a Cuju regulatory department so that the Cuju competition can be standardized and Cuju can be better regularized.
Immediately, he wrote his own cubicle based on the football leagues of later generations.
But he would not follow the steps in his previous life, and he wanted to form a Cuju Federation suitable for the Tang Dynasty.
First of all, what he thought of was that this department should have an official color, otherwise it would not have the purpose of standardizing the competition.
Just imagine, if a non-governmental organization, as long as the court gives orders, you dare not listen. If you don’t listen, you will form a clique for personal gain. If you ask for the death in the autumn, what can you do?
Therefore, it can only be printed with official colors.
However, he knew that Li Shimin would not set up a department in the court for a small Cuju.
Therefore, this gives him an opportunity to take advantage of it. If he wins his Han Palace to establish this department, he will not suffer unnecessary trouble from the court, but also plays the purpose of standardizing the competition. The most important thing is that Cuju is easier to promote, and it is a way to win three goals in one fell swoop.
Secondly, this federation must be authoritative.
If there is no authority, if there are some violations in the competition, the regulatory authorities will make a judgment, and no one can comply at that time.
Although the majesty of the Han Palace cannot be challenged casually, the judgment made by others will not fail to comply with it.
However, this is only relative to civilians. Some aristocratic families may not pay attention to their opinions.
Therefore, greater power must be obtained.
This requires Li Shimin, the supreme ace. He may not set up a separate department in the court, but if he issues a formal approval document to grant Li Ke the Han Palace the right to manage the entire Tang Dynasty Cuju competition, the Cu couplet established by Li Ke can be supervised legitimately. When others do not follow him, Li Ke will have his own way to deal with him.
The third is absolute fairness.
If this department is not fair, then can the Cuju team convince the penalty they made?
Even if you accept the punishment due to power, how can you convince the public?
Therefore, he felt that one or two supervisors from the imperial court should join in this way so that everyone could believe in true fairness and justice.
Thinking about these three things, Li Ke began to establish a regulatory agency in Cuju.
He did not call the name like the Football Federation in Later generations, but wrote the three words "Cuju Temple" directly on paper.
He knew that such a department could only be established by the court, so the original intention of taking this name was to place the Cuju competition under the supervision of the court.
As for whether Li Shimin can establish such a department in the court, it depends on what he thinks.
But Li Ke was at least sure that even if the court did not establish it, he would be managed by the Han Palace.
Therefore, it is not too late to modify it then.
In terms of staffing in Cuju Temple, Li Ke already had his own ideas.
But he didn't dare to decide on any position they should take on, what kind of rank they should have.
Because this was formulated by the court and reviewed by Li Shimin, he, a prince, could not violate the system and form a court department privately.
His idea is that Cuju Temple is divided into three departments, namely the Events Department, the Affairs Department and the Inspection Department.
The Director of the Tournament Administration's official interpretation of the rules of the competition and its amendments; determine the implementation of the competition rules; recommend the list of referees who pass the competition; establish the unified referee method and the implementation method of the rules to be used as much as possible, and manage the setting and competitions of all competitions of all sizes and small in China.
The Services Department manages the personnel review, education and training of referees of all Cuju teams in Datang.
Determine the team's level, report the competition status, etc.
The Inspection Bureau supervises the competition throughout the whole process and urges fairness and fairness of the competition.
As for the specific details, he didn't think too much about it, and he himself didn't understand it very well.
"Let Ma Zhou do it."
Li Ke now thinks of Ma Zhou when he thinks of things.
Looking at the idea written in the booklet, Li Ke was very satisfied. If this idea was approved by Li Shimin, then Cuju would make a qualitative leap in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Li Ke seemed to have seen the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty's territory expanding to Europe in the near future, when all countries came to the Tang Dynasty to celebrate the Cuju competition.
The next day, Li Ke ordered Yang En to send his subordinates to invite Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Huailiang, Chai Zhewei, Li Zong and Yuchi Jun to the palace and explain to them the Cuju Temple and the construction of Cuju Field.
Chai Zhewei responded first: "The third brother has a good idea. He can both restrain the competition and make money. I invested 50,000 yuan."
Chai Zhewei said 50,000 yuan in one breath, which was very courageous to spend a lot of money.
Chai Shaoben was a child of a noble family. When Li Yuan raised an army, he funded military supplies and food, which was a wealthy family.
Subsequently, when the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Yuan missed his contributions to the Tang Dynasty and was extremely favored and gave him a lot of gifts.
In addition to the rewards he received for his military achievements in the east and west, his family's wealth was immeasurable.
Chai Zhewei was Chai Shao's only son, and Li Xiuning died early again.
Chai Shao loved him very much, so he paid 50,000 yuan, and no one thought there was anything wrong with him, but he didn't think it was too much.
Chai Zhewei took the lead, and the other brothers were not behind, and they all expressed their investment and investment.
Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Huailiang and Yuchi Jun are not as rich as Chai Zhewei, so each of them can only pay 5,000 guan.
As a royal family member, Li Zong had a good family background and paid ten thousand yuan.
In this way, the five people paid a total of 75,000 guan.
After a rough calculation, Li Ke found that it was still a lot short of it. Although he had no money himself and had to send money to the newly formed Black Guard, he thought of the generous rewards in the future and made a ruthless heart. He also paid 25,000 guan, which was just enough to collect 100,000 guan.
According to the consumption level of the Tang Dynasty at that time and the current consumption level, a penny is equivalent to five yuan, and a hundred thousand guan is 500 million yuan, and it is more than enough to build four Cuju venues.
After the amount of money was settled, Qin Huaiyu asked Li Ke with some concern: "Third brother, I don't know if this Cuju Temple needs to be approved by the emperor. We have established it rashly. Is it contrary to the court system?"
When Qin Huaiyu asked this, everyone looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke knew they would have questions, so he told them: "I originally wanted the imperial court to be established in Cuju Temple, but I also understood that my father would not set up a department without authorization because of Cuju. In this way, it is very likely that the Han Palace will implement it in the end. So, don't worry about this issue. I will report to my father first before making a decision."
After Li Ke said that, everyone immediately understood what he meant. He guessed that Li Shimin would not set up a separate department for this, so he was so troublesome to establish it just to let himself manage it.
