A few days later, the decree came out.

When the Jockey Club’s edict was issued, many people actually did not respond much.

I only know that the seven battalions of the Imperial Guard Flying Cavalry will participate, and in addition, some military governments will also send cavalry teams to participate.

Even in this edict, there is a strong intention to encourage horse racing. It can be organized by the civilian team to participate in the competition. If it ranks among the top, there will be a high reward.

Obviously... the royal family attaches great importance to cavalry.

After all... The Tang Dynasty always attached importance to cavalry. It had encouraged the people to raise horses before, but now it was allowed to participate in horse racing. This obviously also encouraged the people to learn more young and strong people to learn horse racing.

After all, the military system of the Tang Dynasty was the system of government troops. To put it bluntly, it means that the people of the people were replacing their service, and more people who were good at riding and shooting, so that the government troops in this place would be stronger in the future.

Suddenly, the imperial guards and military prefectures sharpened their knives, and even some large aristocratic clans all chose some strong men to teach them riding and shooting. These people were originally used to guard the house, but now they were also used.

At first, the influence of this edict was only in the army.

But for some reason, the crowd began to get lively, and they were all guessing which horse team would be among the top in half a month.

After all... the emperor's reward may be secondary, but this is an opportunity to become famous.

If you take the lead and show your face in front of His Majesty, you will be truly glorious.

Therefore... some people started to go to Guanzhong and Guandong townships to promote the news, and the news was sent by fast horses, and more and more people were paying attention.

People in the Tang Dynasty loved horses. Even if the terracotta figurines were decorated in the homes of folk people, they were mostly horses. If someone died in a family, most of the funeral objects placed were related to horses.

It's like Qingming Festival in later generations, and everyone burns cars. In this era... if there is no terracotta figurine of a horse, you will be embarrassed to say hello to others.

King Zhao Li Yuanjing also began to get busy. He was very interested in this matter and therefore he was very enthusiastic.

On the one hand, he ordered the Right Guard to draw the capable cavalry and start training. On the other hand, he is the governor of Yongzhou. On weekdays, he is the governor of Yongzhou, but because of his expectations for the event, he naturally began to set up the stadium with Changshi Tang Jian.

Since it was a competition, there were standards. First, the distance between the stadium was measured, and the total was twenty-nine miles back and forth. The starting point was Tai Chi Gate, and then the city was out of the city along the central axis, and finally ran towards Erpigou, circled Erpigou, and had a large circle, and finally returned.

There must be a special guard post in every mile. Along the way... there must be ropes to prevent people from being hit by horses in the road, and the people are allowed to watch around the road.

This journey is not short. The twenty-nine miles involves the roads in the city, the rammed earth road, and a gravel road. It even needs to pass through a muddy road near the canal. In this way... the horsepower can be fully exerted.

It didn't take long... Almost the entire Chang'an City, including the gambling shops in other towns in Guanzhong, began to become lively, and even Guandong even started a gambling game.

There are more and more horse teams signing up. Some of these horse teams are just here to join in the fun, while others are determined to win.

The casino numbered all these horse teams, such as No. 1 to No. 7, which are almost all horse teams of the 7th battalion of the Imperial Guards. These seventh battalion have the strongest strength, while the others have their own advantages.

As for the Erpigou Cavalry Mansion, it fell in the twenty-six teams, and its position was unbiased.

But... for all gamblers, the most eye-catching thing is the guards from the first team to the seventh team.

You know, these are all elite cavalry who were powerful at the time. You will definitely not be wrong when buying them.

Among these seven teams, the most eye-catching one is the seventh team of the Right Guard.

The Right Guard is No. 3, and there is actually a reason why it has won the favor of countless gamblers. On the one hand, the flying cavalry under the Right Guard is strong in itself. On the other hand... all fools know that the general of the Right Guard is King Zhao Li Yuanjing, and His Highness of the King Zhao is the governor of Yongzhou. This time, the governor of Yongzhou was originally responsible for the arrangement.

It can almost be said that His Highness Zhao is the most popular seed player, and the referee is also the damn referee. Guess, can the Right Guard win?

So... there are many gamblers betting on Team No. 3, so there is no suspense for a few words.

So much so that the third team has only lost more than 100 million yuan in total.

It was not until this time that the gamblers realized that betting on the Zhao King Team was a bit unpaid.

After all... the odds are too low, and even if you win, you won't be excited.

Therefore... at first some people wanted to bet on No. 1, No. 2, or other flying cavalry. These teams also had great hope of winning, and the odds were high.

As for other teams, in the eyes of everyone, it focuses more on participation.

The odds of the 26th team where Erpigou is located are so high that the fundamental reason is that almost no one is optimistic about it.

After all... this is a cavalry team game. Although I heard that Erpigou had two heroes, this is a team activity. As Erpigou's Cavalry Mansion, which has just been established, there is no significant result, and the hope is obviously not great.

After a while, almost everyone was talking about horse racing in the streets and alleys.

Chen Zhengtai attaches great importance to this matter, so he dare not take it lightly.

In fact, he had already written a charter a few days ago and sent it to Li Shimin. This charter consists of rules for horse racing.

Hehe... everyone thinks that His Highness Zhao is both a referee and a player. But everyone seems to have overlooked one thing, that is, Chen Zhengtai is also a player, but at the same time... he is also the rulemaker of the Jockey Club.

Of course... this matter needs to be very low-key, the fewer people know, the better.

This was the first horse racing event held in the palace. Li Shimin didn't know what to do. It happened that Chen Zhengtai had submitted the rules, so naturally everything was approved.

Now the odds of No. 26 in Erpigou are as high as 97 per loss, which is very terrifying.

If you invest in Yiguan, if you win, you will take away 97 coins directly. Although it looks scary, it is understandable.

After all, there are more than 60 cavalry teams participating. Except for the seven popular teams, other teams are all focused on participating in the eyes of ordinary people, and the chance of winning is too low.

This was the result of Chen Zhengtai asking his third uncle to place a big bet for Erpigou. If they hadn't made a big bet by themselves, I was afraid that the odds of Erpigou Cavalry Team would be even more scary. It was because of the bet that the odds gradually increased.

This also means that as long as the Erpigou cavalry team wins, the Chen family will almost kill all the gambling houses in Guandong and Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhengtai suddenly felt that his life had meaning and was in a very happy mood.

Taking advantage of the arrival of this Jockey Club.

In the Chen family's printing workshop, papers were printed out.

These pieces of paper are one foot square and are densely printed inside, all of which are all information about participating in Marseille this time.

For example, who has a good horse, which team has had any deeds, and who is the leader, these dense messages are printed and then someone will sell them. Five cents a piece, and if you don’t have to pay for paper and ink, the Chen family can earn two cents a piece.

But if you print other books, no one may care about them. On the one hand, a book is dozens or hundreds of pages, which is expensive.

On the other hand, there are only a few people who are truly willing to read that book.

But the sales volume of such a piece of paper of five cereals was excellent. It only required to be distributed to the peddlers along the street. With a shout, many people immediately gathered up and donated generously.

Five cents are not considered small money, especially in terms of consumption power in this era. Many people work hard and only earn more than ten cents a day. Who would be willing to buy this?

But I can't resist the many gamblers in Guanzhong and Guandong areas. I spent so much money, but I still care about this mere five cents?

Therefore... the horses sold in this sale are extremely good, and they have to add prints crazy.

So many people who don’t even know big words have to buy one. After all, there is nothing in this thing. They use common words to write. Even if people who only recognize dozens of words can probably see a rough idea even if they guess.

Chen Zhengtai bets one after another. After all, he cannot suppress all the bets at once, which causes too much reaction to the odds of the 26 team. The less outstanding the 26 team, the higher the odds, the higher the odds. Once tens of thousands of people pay attention, it is inevitable that someone will want to suppress the 26 team and try their luck.

This bets of more than 13,000 staggers, and the odds of the 26th team also gradually stabilized at 97, and finally stabilized at 69, and then began to fall again, and then the Chen family raised another two thousand.

In a few days, as the Marseille was about to begin, on this day, Chen Zhengtai was ordered by Li Shimin to enter the palace to meet him again.

When I arrived at Tai Chi Gate, I actually ran into Fang Xuanling.

This admirable man, who was bruised and swollen at this moment, formed a big comparison with his gentle and steady temperament.

When he saw Chen Zhengtai, he just smiled faintly, and still looked calm and said, "Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Oh... I was unfortunately injured a few days ago... I wanted to seek medical treatment from your Chen family, but fortunately... the injury has been healed. The threshold of the Fang family is too high. This threshold may not be a good thing."

Chen Zhengtai looked at Fang Xuanling's face and wanted to say something. After a long time, he held it in his arms and forced a smile: "Yes, the threshold of my family is so high. Whenever I go in and out, I am careful, for fear of tripping. This threshold is related to family status and is a symbol of a high family status. However, good fortune is based on misfortune, and misfortune depends on good fortune. Sometimes, if family status is too high, it may also bring disaster."

Fang Xuanling nodded and suddenly said, "Is this horse racing my mind?"
