A tall and powerful Hexi horse ran towards Wei Chen like a gust of wind, and stopped almost grazing the tip of Wei Chen's nose.
Wei Chen involuntarily leaned back and took a few steps back. After confirming that the horse had stopped, he looked angrily at Gu Tingye, who was turning over to dismount: "Zhong Huai, are you trying to hit me to death?"
Gu Tingye folded the riding whip, threw it to the stone aside, and then softly snorted: "I'll knock you down! Don't let you, a sinister official, treat us subordinates like cattle and horses."
Wei Chen saw that Gu Tingye had a pulled face and was obviously in a bad mood. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately understood the reason and couldn't help but laugh.
I'm sorry you came to me to complain!
The origin of Gu Tingye's resentment starts with Wei Chen's order to lift the curfew.
After the curfew was lifted, the people of Yuzhou were happy because they had a place to have fun; the merchants of Yuzhou were also happy because there was business to be done; and the government offices of Yuzhou were even happier because taxes were recorded in their accounts.
Everyone in Yuzhou City is happy, but Gu Tingye, who is responsible for the security of Yuzhou City, is the only one who suffers.
The original intention of setting up the curfew was to prevent fire and theft, and to facilitate urban management. Now that the curfew is lifted, the lights in Yuzhou City are brightly lit every night, and people are everywhere.
In places with a large number of people, all kinds of trivial troubles will also increase. In addition, the people of Yuzhou have just experienced an epidemic, and their emotions are high. Fights and fights are also happening one after another.
Gu Tingye only has a few hundred people under his command, and they are also responsible for guarding and patrolling the main roads in Yuzhou. There are only about 200 people who can stay in Yuzhou city to maintain law and order, even if they are all gone.
If you go out, it won’t be enough to fill the teeth of the tens of thousands of people in the city.
During the days when the curfew was lifted, Gu Tingye and his men rushed back and forth in the city to deal with various emergencies. It was really hard to do anything, and his waist was almost broken from fatigue.
In contrast, Wei Chen only had to sit in the government office to receive a large amount of taxes, and he still had time to wander leisurely in the market. His life was not very comfortable.
Gu Tingye was so angry about this that he almost pointed at Wei Chen's nose and called him a dog official.
Seeing Gu Tingye cast a resentful and resentful look at him, Wei Chen actually felt helpless.
There is no other way, for the happiness of the people of Yuzhou, for the recovery of Yuzhou's economy, and for the increase of taxes in Yuzhou... I can only continue to work hard for Gu Erlang.
The worst case scenario is that Wei Chen will take the responsibility for calling me names!
Of course, it would be nice to be scolded less often. Wei Chen is the magistrate of the state after all, and he also wants to save face.
Seeing that Gu Tingye's anger level was about to explode, Wei Chen hurriedly coughed and asked seriously: "Is the fight starting again?"
"Four were injured."
As expected, Gu Tingye's attention was diverted and he replied worriedly.
He wasn't surprised that Wei Chen could predict the future. The people of Yuzhou had been staying at home for several months because of the epidemic. No matter how honest people were, they had become a powder keg. They basically just got by, and quarrels and fights were all very serious.
Ordinary things.
Moreover, with the restoration of the Jun porcelain trade, merchants from all over the Zhou Dynasty poured into Yuzhou City. Due to differences in customs, habits, languages, etc., these outsiders often clashed with the locals, and there were more than one bloody incident.
.
Wei Chen and Gu Tingye also caught a few examples, but to no avail. This is the side effect of Yuzhou becoming a major commercial and trade town, and it collides with the sequelae of the end of the epidemic. It will be difficult to completely solve it in a while.
Therefore, when Wei Chen heard Gu Tingye say that four more people had been injured, he shook his head helplessly and ordered: "Arrest all those who did it and let them stay in the state prison for two days to calm down. In addition to paying the full amount of medical fees and
In addition to the cost of medicine, another fine must be paid to the state government."
Gu Tingye rolled his eyes and said: "The state prison has been full for a long time. There are only a few cells in Mi County and Xinzheng. I have no place to house these people. If it doesn't work, let them live in your house, Lord Zhizhou."
Go!"
"That's it..."
Wei Chen smiled awkwardly, maybe he was thick-skinned, and then he thought seriously: "In the final analysis, the anger in Yuzhou city is too strong right now, so we have to find a way to let these people vent their anger." p>
"Venting fire?"
Gu Tingye was slightly stunned when he heard this, and many exciting scenes that were not suitable for children suddenly appeared in his mind.
"What are you thinking about? I'm talking about serious venting!" Wei Chen saw Gu Tingye's eyes gradually moving towards his lower body, and quickly coughed, pulling him back from his random thoughts.
Wei Chen said seriously: "I plan to hold a Cuju competition in Yuzhou so that the anger that has nowhere to go can be eliminated during the competition, thereby reducing unnecessary disputes."
"Cuju?"
Gu Tingye scratched his head and said doubtfully: "Xingyun, Yuzhou is not Bianjing. There are not that many people with good foot skills here. When Fengliu looked at the field, there were not many who could score a kick.
”
Wei Chen immediately said: "What kind of romantic eyes are there? Just put goals on both sides!"
The Cuju that Gu Tingye is talking about is the kind of Cuju that he, Wei Chen and the Sheng brothers played when they were in Yangzhou.
Set up a three-foot-high pole in the center of the court, with a wooden board erected on it. The hole in the center of the wooden board is the goal, which is the so-called romantic eye.
To understand it simply, this sport is probably similar to kicking a football into Wei Chen’s basketball hoop in his previous life.
Such competitions are mostly performances, with almost no confrontation, and viewers are unlikely to experience the thrill of adrenaline.
In the past, Wei Chen and the others were still young and their muscles were not yet strong, so they could just play kickball as an entertainment game. Now Wei Chen is planning to let all the brave and fierce people in Yuzhou City participate, and of course it will be a more intense version. In the Han Dynasty, Cuju was a serious military training technique. Even in the Tang Dynasty, Cuju was a popular and intense sport among the military. It is not as soft and boring as it is now.
Wei Chen plans to transform the rules of Cuju into a more confrontational modern football. Wei Chen has the blueprint of the specific rules in his mind and can sort them out effortlessly.
The rules must be simple and direct. Even illiterate people can quickly adapt to the rules after being explained by others. Only in this way can the sport be popularized and Wei Chen's purpose of letting Yuzhou "vent his anger" can be achieved.
Of course, when Wei Chen introduced this version of Cuju, he could not tell others that it was something in his past life memory, but he would cover it up by following ancient methods.
Restoration is an eternal topic in Confucianism, and words such as restoring the "rule of three generations" will never be absent.
Wei Chen was naturally dismissive of this.
If you really want to be retro, you should go back to the trees and become primitive people who drink blood from their hair. That is the true retro style.
But this is the political correctness of the times. When Wei Chen wants to launch new things, he must use this to whitewash it.
Including proposing the strategy of confining water to attack sand, if he wants to convince the world, Wei Chen must find a theoretical basis that he can cling to from the pile of old papers.
Fortunately, Wei Chen had no books to read, and he had already found this sentence from "Hanshu Hequzhi": When the water nature is low, and it moves quickly, it will be scraped off by itself, leaving it empty and slightly deeper.
The truth behind this sentence coincides with the principle of using water to attack sand.
It's the same thing now that Wei Chen wants to change the rules of Cuju.
Not talking about innovation, just talking about retro.
Anyway, the Cuju sport in the Tang Dynasty was a double-goal sport. Wei Chen said that he made slight improvements on the basis of the Tang Dynasty Cuju, and it was easier for the public to accept.
