Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I estimate that in a while, there will be many students like Tang Jun. As long as the Renmin University and the University of Science and Technology train the first batch of students, the officials of the Tang Dynasty will barely be enough."
Fang Xuanling said: "Mr. Zhao, this is not enough. If according to your plan, every large city in the state will have government offices divided into districts, then if you spread it out, the government will need a lot of officials. Not to mention the grid operators and the newly established departments, there are too many people needed.¡±
"Don't worry, the cultivation of talents is growing exponentially."
When Changle saw them chatting about state affairs, he couldn't help but pouted: "Father, husband, you are talking about state affairs again. Today we are watching badminton, so we are not allowed to talk about state affairs."
Li Shimin and others laughed.
"Changle, are you personally organizing the first badminton competition in Chang'an?"
"Yes, father, my husband didn't even interfere."
Chang Le is quite proud, with a happy face on her face. She has been busy working on this matter for an unknown amount of time. Today, she is finally going to have a successful opening, and she is still a little happy in her heart.
This is her first time doing something, and she feels very accomplished.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's very good Changle, but I don't know how many spectators there will be in this badminton venue."
"Father, the seats must be packed."
Li Shimin rubbed Chang Le's head: "You, you don't know how difficult it is to organize things. For such a large-scale competition, and it is not well-known yet, it is difficult to fill the audience."
Fang Xuanling also smiled and said: "Princess, that's it. It took a long time for Mr. Zhao to organize the cycling league that day. He used "Chang'an Daily" as an advertisement. In addition, bicycles are becoming popular very quickly and are really easy to use. This We have just successfully launched a cycling league. If you want to successfully launch a badminton competition, it will be quite difficult."
The other ministers also laughed.
Changle was also smiling: "Father, Master Fang, why don't we make a bet?"
Zhao Chen looked on with a smile. Changle seemed to be influenced by him unknowingly. As soon as this bet came out, why did he feel like he was going to cheat someone?
¡°After all, every time I make a bet, it must be accompanied by deceptive behavior.
Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Okay, let's bet."
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "I have no objection. Badminton is a sport I have seen before at Zhao Manor. Although it has some unique charm, it is not as popular as cycling. It must attract only a small number of people and can only be a niche."
Zhao Chen also nodded in his heart. Lao Fang¡¯s entire analysis was still in place. After all, the truly globally popular sports are the three major sports, football, basketball and volleyball. Football is the most popular among them. It is truly globally popular.
From this point of view, Lao Fang is right, but this bet with Changle will probably lose miserably.
The group of people came to a larger indoor square building, located near the West Market, covering a huge area.
At this moment, there are many maids from the Zhao family and maids from Changle here, wearing casual clothes to maintain order. The servants of the Zhao family are also here, and there are people selling tickets at the door.
Seeing Chang Le¡¯s arrival, the servants wanted to salute, but Chang Le stopped him.
"Okay, where are the reserved tickets?"
"it's here."
The maid respectfully handed over the ticket. Changle took the ticket and led Li Shimin and others in.
As soon as I walked in, I walked through the dark corridor, and then my eyes suddenly opened up. I saw a badminton court with modern furnishings in front of me, with several badminton courts in the middle and spectator seats around it.
At this moment, these seats are already packed!
Fang Xuanling¡¯s face was stunned for a moment, and she was stunned when she saw these crowded scenes.
"Here, how come there are so many people?"
Li Shimin was also stunned for a moment. Why were there so many people in this venue?
Changle had a proud smile on his face: "Let's sit down first and I'll talk to you later."
She led everyone and sat in the VIP position at the front. The seats behind her were in the shape of a staircase. The audience at the back sat higher up, so that they would not be blocked from the view of those in front.
Li Shimin looked back and saw that there were many people sitting behind him, all of them men, looking expectantly at the badminton court, as if waiting for the badminton players to come on.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people?"
Li Shimin is a little unhappyBelieving it, he lowered his voice and asked: "How is this done?"
Fang Xuanling also said: "This is a bit beyond my imagination. Didn't I remember that badminton was introduced not long ago by Mr. Zhao? Is it so popular in Chang'an now?"
The rest of the officials were also a little stunned. This person was really full.
Changle smiled sweetly and said: "It's actually very simple. As long as you come and sign up on site, you can predict the list of winners for free. Whoever guesses correctly will get a large guessing bonus."
As he spoke, Changle handed the newspaper next to him to Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin took a look, he only saw two large pages of the "Chang'an Evening News" used for advertisements. It said, "Come and take a guess and win the grand prize of a thousand taels!"
"As long as you succeed in your continuous bets, you will have a chance to get a thousand taels of silver. And the tickets are not expensive. They only cost a few tens of pennies. The badminton game is indeed very interesting. You can watch the game and have the opportunity to earn money." If you get money, why not do it?"
At this moment, the audience burst into cheers.
Li Shimin and the others looked up and saw badminton players on both sides. They were all wearing short sports skirts. The skirts only reached the top of the thighs, and their legs were all white underneath. They were wearing sports tops and their hair was tied up. Young, beautiful, and with a good figure, beauties who are equivalent to the girl groups of later generations came out and won applause immediately.
"nice!!"
"So beautiful! Those legs and figure! Much prettier than my mother-in-law!"
"This ticket is well worth the money. Let's take a guess which one to fill in. Hey, fill it in for Cheng Yicai. She is the prettiest."
Listening to the subsequent conversation, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Are you really here to watch the game?
Are you sure you¡¯re not here to see a woman?
Li Shimin came to his senses and said with a smile: "Changle, so you relied on these two methods to promote badminton?"
"That's not all. Although these two methods are possible, they are still limited, so I used the third method to cooperate."
"what way?"
"Sports Lottery."
Li Shimin was slightly startled, sports lottery, what is this?
"It's somewhat similar to betting. It was introduced in the newspaper before. You can buy lottery tickets at the sports lottery purchase point. Then after the game is over today, I will have someone go up and draw the lottery. There are a total of thirty numbers and six numbers will be drawn. If If all six numbers that can be drawn at once match, then you can receive a full ten thousand taels."
Fang Xuanling was also stunned: "Ten thousand taels?"
"Yes, a sports lottery bet only costs five cents. Then the badminton competition will be launched every two months, and a sports lottery will be drawn for each game. The slogan of our sports lottery is 'Give it a try, and the bicycle will become a horse-drawn carriage.' ."
Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin and others were stunned.
Li Shimin looked strange: "Mr. Zhao taught you this?"
Changle stuck out his tongue: "Actually, my husband only taught me a few things."
Fang Xuanling and others looked at Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen folded his fan and said, "Don't look at me. I only gave you a planning outline and slogan. Changle is still smarter."
Changle nodded repeatedly.
Li Shimin didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry: ¡°Since it was Mr. Zhao¡¯s method, then I didn¡¯t lose unfairly, but is the nature of this sports lottery a bit excessive?¡±
Li Shimin was a little hesitant. This method, which is similar to gambling, is likely to bring bad publicity.
Changle said: "You don't have to worry about it, it costs less, it's more entertainment, and what if you really win? Now that the sports lottery has been launched, the response is pretty good."
Li Shimin looked around, and sure enough, the spectators next to him still held a ticket stub in their hands.
At this moment, the female players in front were already standing on the badminton court. Their straight long legs made many people swallow their saliva.
"Good legs, good legs."
¡°This dress is really nice, I want to get one for my mother-in-law too.¡±
Especially as the game started, the players kept running, their short skirts flying, and their chests bulging. Some people's eyes were straight, staring at their legs, not the ball at all.
How could the simple people of the Tang Dynasty have seen this? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
