Chapter 724. National Movement
What did the rich people in the Ming Dynasty like in the past? They pretended to be hidden calligraphy and paintings, followed a group of scholars who were known as cultural people and made two sour sentences. The notes of scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties recorded many records of salt merchants making a fool of themselves. After chanting poems with these sour scholars, they were really silver-wet catches, went down to the pleasure boat, listened to music, and stayed in a gentle place overnight. Anyway, it was just one word, the depravity of a real chicken!
The upper class is still a benchmark for the lower class people, with the upward and downward effect and the social atmosphere is corrupt. No wonder the north cannot defeat Jiannu, and the middle is beaten by the mud-legged refugee army and his nose and face is swollen.
Let’s compare and look at the powerful dynasties in other people’s history. The Tang Dynasty played polo, the Romans watched gladiators, the Han Dynasty was even more fencing, the scholars shot the rituals, and the Song Dynasty had a Cuju. By the way, when it comes to the rituals, the rituals changed again with Zhu Yuanzhang. In ancient times, they shot to enjoy wine. In the Ming Dynasty, they started to shoot but failed to play. It would be strange if they could be valued.
Fortunately, this kind of hobby habit began to change dramatically after Mao Jue entered the Central Plains. Isn’t archery unsuccessful? The Dongjiang Merchants directly built shooting halls in various places, using military flintlock rifles and a bullet of copper coins. Not only did they shoot targets, but they also had special people to get wild animals from the mountains for you to shoot.
Fully arouse the blood and bloodthirsty desires of these rich people!
Anyway, in the past few decades, Mao Jue was in power, he did not need to obey the people. Even in the next 100 or 200 years, the entire Ming Dynasty would be in an era of courageous development, and what he wanted was blood and adventurous spirit!
Following the shooting, there are Cuju, horse racing, blue ball, field hunting and other sports that are revived. However, the most popular among the rich is the racing car in front of you! After all, racing is not like shooting, and it can be a little taboo. It is not like Cuju. There is a pig urine bubble that can be played with. It takes money to play racing! Racing a good horse requires a lot of money. More importantly, this thing is also bloody and exciting enough!
After the No. 9 car crashed into the mountain and destroyed it, when crossing the slope, the bottom axle of the No. 6 carriage in Taiyuan Team failed to pass the gear again. As the carriage fell heavily, the rear wheel was broken into two pieces with a click. When the balance was lost, the panicked driver grabbed the reins and shook his tail out, and knocked the No. 5 car that was next to it by half. With a click, the entire ceiling of the No. 2 car that was too lightened was lifted up by the strong wind, hooking the driver and flew out like a parachute.
The wood chips splashed, and in the stands, some people were full of excitement, knocking on the railing and cursing, while others roared even more proudly, waving their fists like crazy.
With a few thrills of water, the first lap was over, and nine race cars were destroyed by cruelly eliminating. Only Shenyang Guard's No. 1 car, Miyun, Beijing, and Qixian, Shanxi, were still chasing each other.
Since the 12th year of Chongzhen, racing has become popular in Liaodong. Shenyangwei's luxury merchant drivers are obviously more experienced. In the first lap, they did not drive the two racehorses to run with all their strength, but instead fell behind to watch the reckless novices playing bumper cars with each other. In the second lap, they were almost broken, and the horses gradually showed weakness. Then he suddenly accelerated on the corner, leaving the Miyun car and the Qixian car that were fiercely competing for the first place behind.
The driver was obviously a great man from Liaodong, and he might even be retired from the Liaodong Army. His protective leather armor was all painted in Liaodong Army uniforms. He turned around and raised his beard, and the man roared arrogantly.
"Go to eat horse manure! Stupid x!"
Listening to this sarcasm, the two drivers hummed viciously almost at the same time.
"Damn barbarian!"
Roaring, the two of them also took the reins hard at the same time.
"drive!!!"
However, the technology is really technical, pressing the shortest left and right path. The big bearded man in Liaodong kept driving the two horses left and right, causing his carriage body to swing continuously. The forty-five-degree swing range pressed the two cars behind without any overtaking space.
But this track is fair. When you turn the second turn, the track suddenly tightens, and a large loess threshold with high and low middle ends suddenly appears in the middle. The bearded man can only give up pressing the left and move closer to the middle.
But looking at this gap, Qixian team driver Qiao Leshan actually squeezed over without hesitation. Seeing that he was about to hit the mountain in the next second, the bearded man couldn't help but show a contemptuous sneer on his face.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face. Suddenly, the carriage of the Qixian merchants was almost 10%. They almost tilted their heads back before hitting the mountain. They used the short road to press half of their body, and the wheels hit their horses' legs. Although it was a competition rule that it was not allowed to hurt people and horses with axles, and both ends were wrapped in cloth. However, it was enough to reduce their strength in the racing competition by one stage. Driven by the desire for horses, the bearded man still pulled the reins helplessly, and scolded Qiao Leshan to squeeze over.
Amid the creaking friction, the revolver shaft and the ridge violently rubbed a series of black smoke, and the Qi County driver rushed to the front with pride.
However, there is a saying that "Sai Weng is a blessing when he loses his horse." Just as this young man waved his hands excitedly, the broken wheel caps jumped out in a creaking sound, and the two wheels on the left fell off the body one after another.
"Oh my god!!!"
In a sad scream, Qiao Leshan tilted her body and pressed her to the right. The shift in gravity made the car that lost the revolver not fall, but the left side raised, but lost control, and the car irresistible to leave the left short track and tilt to the right.
It was so dying that Li Huimei, who was so excited that she was watching, stretching out her little hand and shouting excitedly.
Subconsciously, in order to increase balance, Qiao Leshan grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her into the carriage.
The scream of one person turned into two people. I never expected this. A woman's nature exploded. Li Huimei, who was thrown into the front seat, hugged her chest and screamed ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Puff~
These days, there are no track tires placed on the edge of the track as a buffer. In order to protect and to spoof the show effect, these wealthy grandchildren simply piled up piles of soft horse manure on the curve. In the crisp sound, the two of them neatly planted green onions and pierced them in.
“Wow~~~”
No woman's makeup was gone, and she was covered in beauty. She was still screaming with a smile on her face. Li Huimei took a bite of Ma Xiangxiang with a strong bite. She was so disgusting that she almost vomited out all the supper last year. She was full of flowers and her face was full of flowers and she was squirting with tears in her eyes.
The boy next to him was so dying that he even came out, took off his hood, and asked there with concern: "Girl, are you okay... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
He grabbed the bastard's hair in anger, and suddenly, Li Huimei directly planted his head in the pile of radish and inserted it into the dung pile. This time, without the protection of his helmet, he ate hard. Finally, he finally climbed out. The young Qixian driver followed Li Huimei and pinched his neck together.
“Wow~~~~~”
.........
It is truly called the National Sports. A group of local tyrants in Huguang are having fun there. The third Ming Dynasty racing competition has also begun, but compared with the local tyrants in Huguang, Mao Jue held a much grander event.
The venue was held in Xiangshan, a royal garden in the old days. There were more than 100 teams and more than 500 racing cars from all over the country. Compared with the small track, the competition was more like an all-terrain rally. The participating carriages had to run the 12:8 kilometers of Xiangshan Highway. During this period, it was not just asphalt roads, but also streams, jungles, rugged mountain roads, and big turns. The extreme tests the players' endurance and skills.
In this competition, ordinary people can also participate. Every game is sold for tickets, but with a limit, you can only buy one or two tickets at most. If the team you purchased wins, you will pay the silver according to the odds, and everyone will be happy.
However, there is another key point to allow Mao Jue to hold events so actively. Racing is really profitable! Hehe!
Subjectively, he not only ran, but also received advertising endorsements. He, Mao Jue, an emperor, can also be regarded as a big star, and his appearance fee is also blew. Objectively, the popularity of racing has caused the damage rate of four-wheeled carriages in Beiming to rise sharply. Car repair and car manufacturing have driven emerging industries, bringing employment rates, taking out the money from the pockets of the rich and putting it into Mao Jue's pockets..., um, putting it into the pockets of ordinary people, and everyone is well-off together.
Even in politics, there is an unexpected effect. Good wood is needed to build carriages in the event these days. Where can I produce good wood? Liaodong, Southeast Asia, New World! The forest resources in Liaodong have been turned into a royal naval industry with a stroke of Mao Jue. It is not impossible for you to mine. 25% of the tax will cause you to be mentally retarded. Then the timber business in the New World becomes particularly attractive, attracting more people to go to the New World to make gold and invest.
It's just a killing of every possible way!
No matter what age, the local tyrants are quite privileged. After buying the lottery tickets, ordinary people can only wait at the starting point and the end point. Those local tyrants who can afford to buy a ticket of 1,000 taels can go to the center of the royal garden, build the observation deck on the cliff of Xiangshan to overlook the entire track, watch the competition on the same stage with the emperor, and go out with two thousand tickets, and another two million taels are recorded. How can you not be rich?
At the observation deck and the starting point, a reporter from the Imperial Capital Daily Sports Channel reported loudly with passionate voices.
"Dear viewers, the Imperial Capital Daily Sports Channel brings you a wonderful report on the second Imperial Carriage Rally. I am your old friend Mao Xiang. According to the news from the reporters in front, our noble emperor has already stepped onto the rostrum in the sacred mountain series dragon outfit provided by Tieshan Himalaya Preparatory Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture Furniture. You can buy the simple commemorative model on XXXXX Road..."
Just a few words, not only did he say that he had two sets of luxury goods, but he still had tens of thousands of taels of silver to account. Unfortunately, Mao Xingjian was just not happy. He muttered angrily behind Mao Jue.
"A vulgar journey! A smelly silver!"
On the other side, Queen Chen Jiao was depressed and stretched her face. Fortunately, Mao Jue was in a good mood, or was very professional and did not have a dispute over the emperor and the prince in front of the endorsement merchant!
Holding a telescope, he looked at the racing cars in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel excited. Following the concubine, the Spanish girl Serita couldn't help but raise the telescope high in excitement, looking at the handsome and mighty race driver, sighing sincerely.
Chapter completed!
