    The arena set up by the palace was not near the palace, but in the Martial Temple Square, half a city away.

    The martial arts temple before the Song Dynasty was dedicated to King Wucheng Jiang Ziya.  In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongwu was of low origin, and his favorite was Guan Yu.  Under his admiration, Guan Yu was revered as the Martial Saint Emperor, replacing King Wucheng and becoming the master of the new generation of Martial Temple.  So after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when people mentioned Wu Sheng and Wu Temple, the first thing they thought of was Guan Gong.  The title of King Wucheng was gradually forgotten.

    The Wu Temple Square is very large, and a high arena is set up near the temple wall.  Under the ring, there were several rows of tables and chairs lined up, and there were already a group of boys and waiters waiting on them.

    Sun Zheng had to admire him. Who said the ancients were rigid?  Look at this commercial operation, it's obvious that they are experts and are used to it.

    There are paid VIP seats, which is easy to handle.  I don¡¯t have anything else but money.  This thing called silver can scare people to death.  Twenty-two tons of silver, converted to more than 700,000 taels!  And that¡¯s not counting the gold.

    When I got closer and asked, it turned out that the price of the table was also determined by its location.  The second row is the most expensive, costing five taels of silver per table.  The first row is not for sale, no matter how much money you pay, it is reserved for the palace.

    When you pay for it, tea and snacks are actually given away.  If you like to drink and order food, you have to spend extra money.

    Before the arena started, there were vendors carrying burdens walking among the spectators.  Everyone shouts catchy tunes while hawking, and from time to time there are people sitting down to watch and spend money to buy a few snacks and grind their teeth to pass the time.

    After waiting for nearly half an hour, a group of well-dressed soldiers appeared in formation, guarding the front row of tables.  Then came several small green cloth sedans, swaying all the way into the venue.  After getting off the sedan chair, three middle-aged men dressed as writers stepped out, each holding their hands together and taking their seats.

    In the corner of the arena, there was already a person who was responsible for order, waving the flag, and a big man walked out from both sides. The two of them rushed around and made a bow. Without talking nonsense, they crossed their hands to say hello to each other, and started to ping-pong-pong-pong.

    Sun Zheng watched for a few minutes and was a little confused. The traces of this performance were too heavy. The two people were fighting back and forth in a lively manner, but they didn't see a single collision for a long time. It was exactly like the stage performances of later generations.

    ??Nima, didn¡¯t you say fighting in the ring?  This is a stage!  Or are these two just shills?

    Looking back, I saw that as the action was taking place on the stage, many onlookers were pouring in from all around.  Some have their own small horse tie, and most of them have their hands crossed behind them.  The turnover of small traders has soared.

    There was a sudden burst of rapid gongs on the stage. With the sound of the gongs, the speed of the two fighting men suddenly accelerated, and the fight became faster and faster. There were bursts of applause from the audience.

    As the sound of the gong stopped, the two people who were fighting stopped their hands and retreated. They made a circle bow in all directions, then stopped their hands and retreated.

    It is indeed a trust!  It seems that this commercialization is done well, which is interesting.

    It would be perfect if there were a few more ads.

    ¡°Thinking about it this way and observing it from the perspective of business operations, you can see that this so-called mature system is actually still very immature.

    At this time, the two young men each held a wooden sign high. On the wooden sign were posted two documents of life and death with handprints and a certain official seal.

    After the wooden sign was patrolling for a week, a gong sounded, and a big man walked out from both sides.  Without saying much, they bowed to each other, shouted, and immediately handed over their hands.

    This fight was far less beautiful than the opening scene.  But he punches hard and is extremely fierce. He is obviously a real guy.  The spectators in the audience were also careful and cheered for their favorite players from time to time.

    After a few rounds, the man on the right used a flaw to lure the enemy to attack, and counterattacked with a carbine. His hands came back first, and with one move, he hit the opponent's temple with a double wind piercing the ear, and the opponent fell to the ground.

    The victorious man bowed in all directions and exited with a staggering step.  The clearing personnel will come up and carry out the eliminated contestants who have fallen to the ground.

    At this time, under the ring, a group of doctors with medical kits were seen coming up, surrounding the wounded man, checking his pulse for consultation.

    Why?  Is there any humanitarian aid?  Not bad, pretty humane.

    "Young Master, are you from out of town?" A bystander next to him saw Sun Zheng's unfamiliar face. He endured it for a long time and finally spoke up: "This is not the doctor invited by the palace"

    After listening to this man¡¯s general knowledge, Sun Zheng realized that the doctors waiting under the ring were hired by the merchants in Taiyuan City who raised their own money.  The purpose is to pull back a few fish that slipped through the net, and then invite them home to work as a nursing home attendant or something like that.  Commonly known as, pick the cheap.

    Thinking about it, the palace picked out the good ones.  They can only choose?Leftovers are also generated by market demand.

    Sun Zheng heard what he said was interesting, so he invited him to sit down and ordered a few side dishes to treat him.  This man was greatly used. As long as Sun Zheng opened his mouth, he would tell him everything he knew.  He looked like he had met a close friend.

    It turns out that the three guys with official records are just some stewards in Prince Jin's palace.  Moreover, he is only responsible for running the nursing home and doing chores outside the house.

    ¡°What the hell, does this mean that the Jin Palace has been extremely restrained in recent years?  I don¡¯t know what kind of face he had when he was arrogant.  No wonder Zhu Qijian and his son dared to form a cavalry team to act as robbers!

    ?According to enthusiasts, the Jin Palace holds competitions once or twice a month, with more or less people selected each time.  But because there is such an opportunity to become a deacon in the palace, many down-and-out martial arts practitioners will come here to seek an opportunity.  Even if the palace cannot choose him, there are often other wealthy families or companies that can take a fancy to him, and being asked to go back to work as a nursing home is still a way out.

    Those decent people from well-known families have their own resources, and of course they don¡¯t bother to play tricks on others.  However, there are still a large number of casual warriors among the people. These people are looked down upon by the sects and are unwilling to stay at home and work hard at farming. It is said that if they cannot succeed at a high level, they cannot work at a low level. If there is no suitable way out, a series of social troubles will inevitably occur.

    After all, it is the world of martial arts, so it naturally has corresponding social rules.  This kind of ring selection method is one of the ways.

    Although it seems that it is inappropriate for the palace to recruit so many warriors into the palace every year.  But if you think about it deeply, you will find that there is also a kind of helplessness in it.  They can't recruit real masters, and all they can recruit are this kind of dilettantes who are almost desperate.

    ??Look at the desperate guys in the ring. They all show their teeth and claws, and they look quite fierce.  But in the eyes of a master like Sun Zheng, it was full of flaws and vulnerable to a single blow.  Even if he recruits ten thousand people like this, it will only be a waste of more food.  If something really happens, I'm afraid they won't be as good as the cavalry raised by Zhu Qijian. At least they can give orders and prohibitions.

    Once you see through the essence of the matter, it would be meaningless to watch this kind of novices pecking each other.  Sun Zheng excused himself that he had just arrived in Taiyuan and wanted to know more about the situation, and asked the man if he could be a guide.

    That man¡¯s name was Tang Yuansheng, he was a broker. Seeing Sun Zheng¡¯s generous approach, he showed no reluctance.  He didn't have any words to answer, so he immediately transformed into a tour guide, taking Sun Zheng through the streets and alleys, giving directions, wishing he could spend all his inventory to please the distinguished guests.

    It was getting dark after this stroll. Sun Zheng invited him into the restaurant and ordered a table of hard dishes as a reward. He gave him five taels of silver as a reward. He made an appointment to continue the tour the next day, and Tang Yuansheng said goodbye with a huge thank you.

    As soon as I turned around, I saw the restaurant owner, Sun and Li standing together, their faces full of respect and acting like dogs.

    My balls hurt, I walked around for a long time, but ended up going to my own restaurant for dinner.

    ? Observing the restaurant from the perspective of the protagonist, the location is good. Opposite is the brightly lit Chunfeng Building, next to the Confucian Temple and the County School, and only two blocks away from the Jin Palace.  It should be considered a prosperous area, but during the period when the customer flow is the largest, there are not many customers in the restaurant.

    Why don¡¯t you get such a good location and such a good decoration!

    The owner of the restaurant is named He, and he is also a native of Taiyuan.  He carefully advised Sun Zheng: "Sir! That Tang Yuansheng is not a serious person. There are restaurants and restaurants all over Taiyuan City who don't know about this number. Since he failed the exam for the third time, this person has no intention of entering school.  He has also faded away, and he has been relying on a few favors from his classmates all day long to attend other people's drinking parties and banquets. Not many people take him seriously! If the young master wants him to accompany him, he is just giving him face, and he can pay him as much as ten cents.  That¡¯s it. How can it be worth five taels of silver! The young master is so lavish, the old man has to give some advice. "

    You can¡¯t make any money, but you blame me for spending too much?  Did I spend your money?

    Sun Zheng was so angry that he laughed: "With your restaurant business in such a state, do you still have the nerve to pretend to be a good person? Mind your own affairs first!"

    Shopkeeper He was startled: "Young Master! This is not why I don't do my best. It's really"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Some of them are from the backstage of the Jin Dynasty Palace, some of them have people from the government offices, and even the business next door is the business of my brother-in-law.  This is a humane society, and our family strives to be low-key when doing things. How can we force guests to come to our door?  !

    In a word, it¡¯s not that our army is weak, it¡¯s that the enemy is too powerful!

    Damn it, this number is the most annoying.  Those who work with single-minded focus and conscientiousness are not as capable as those who are evil-minded.  If you had someone even half as capable as Jiayun Lai, the shopkeeper, you would definitely not say such depressing words!

    Relying on this deadly brain, it can make business bigger, simply blowing lights.

    We still expect the restaurant to generate some money to support the escort agency. We can¡¯t even spend money to support the restaurant!

    "Occupying such a good port, if we can't make any money, we will be struck by lightning."
