"How about the closing tray?"

Li Longji looked at the prince beside him, and Li Heng's voice was trembling at this time, "Aye, this game of gambling costs exceed 20 million yuan!"

When Li Longji heard this number, he was stunned, but he immediately thought of Chang'an City's population of millions, the wealthy families and wealthy Hushang were numerous, so it was not surprising that these 20 million yuan were worth it. Chen Lang was right. The wealth of the Tang Dynasty was in the hands of these people, and how much money could be scraped from the people? No wonder Guozhong shouted to increase the commercial tax.

On the court, with the whistle sounded, when the Japanese and Silla's Cuju team started the game, the princes cursed the envoys listed in the vassal state seats. Who would have thought that Japan and Silla had invited the Tang Dynasty Cuju masters to play in the game instead of their own teams? If they had known this, they would have done this too, and they would not have been eliminated early. Maybe they could still show their faces in such a grand scene.

"Fuck those Silla dogs to death!" "Send those Japanese pigs home!"

On the side of the court, the betting dogs of the Tang Dynasty waved the betting bills in their hands, roared with ferocious expressions, watching the game on the court, and then more and more people were spitting out fragrance. Everyone was desperately supporting their betting teams, madly belittled and insulting each other.

The whole stadium became wild in an instant, and even Li Longji was infected by the atmosphere and asked the prince next to him, "Who did I buy to win?"

"Aye paid 100,000 yuan, and his son bet on Silla in his decision."

Li Heng replied that as the mastermind behind the handicap, he certainly has the ability to manipulate the game, but he always remembers Chen Lang saying that the real charm of betting on football lies in uncertainty, and if all the games are arranged, it will inevitably ruin the entire game. Therefore, he did not interfere too much in the game this World Cup.

The reason why I am optimistic about Silla in this game is that the Silla mission is richer than the Japanese mission. There are several of them who are invited, but he is a master of Cuju in the East Palace.

"How much profit can you make?"

"The two teams have equal handicaps, and they can make a profit of 50,000 yuan."

"Fifty thousand coins are not bad."

While murmuring to himself, although Li Longji watched the game, his mind was placed elsewhere. He was somewhat inclined to Yang Guozhong's idea of ​​reforming the tax system. The collapse of the government soldiers was because of the serious land annexation, which led to the failure of the equalization law. If Chen Lang had not killed Wang Hui, he would have been kept in the dark and thought that the people of the Tang Dynasty would be rich. However, he had not expected that Wang Hui had increased taxes over the years and exploited the common people.

Li Longji enjoyed it very much, but after being a wise monarch for 30 years, he still cared about the people. However, he could not reduce his expenses and could only expand his wealth. This wealth was the officials and nobles in the court, the powerful families in the world, and even if the people were squandering their food and how much tax could they collect, those who were rewarded by me concealed their land and avoided taxes.

Thinking of Yang Guozhong's recent memorial, Li Longji pondered that there was a system of tombs and towns in the former Han Dynasty. The former Han emperors regarded the powerful and wealthy families in the world as leeks and cut them one after another, so that the world was stable and few could annex the land and population for a long time. Now that time has changed, the system of tombs and towns may not be suitable for the Tang Dynasty, but it can be used as a reference.

Just as Li Longji was pondering, deafening cheers resounded throughout the stadium. When he raised his head, he saw the Silla team in blue robe celebrating, "Have you scored a goal?"

"The goal is scored, the Japanese team is finished!"

Li Heng responded, but felt relieved. The game was indeed as expected by him. The most important thing was that he did not lose face in front of Aye.

...

Chao Heng looked at the Pi Wei lying inside the door and was stunned. Why did he risk a loss of his career to participate in this game? He thought the Cuju masters invited by the ambassador were his thighs, but he didn't expect that he was the original thigh. If he hadn't been high and low, he would have been more than three thighs.

Covering his body, the soreness of being shot by the skin, Chao Heng really wanted to give up the game directly. Although Cuju is not as dangerous as polo, the skin that is sewn with cowhide and inflated with feathers is also heavy and heavy when it is hit. If the head is kicked, it is afraid that it will be life-threatening.

Of course, what made Chao Heng feel even more desperate was that among the crowds behind him who had bought the Japanese team to win, they were cursing him crazy, "You thief, have you taken the dirty money from Silla Dogs? If a certain family loses, they will definitely kill you..."

Among the people who bet on football in Chang'an City, there are also many gossipers. Even if Chen Yuan has rules, these guys who have always been unruly always have a way to gamble for the big ones. So Chao Heng felt the evil thoughts and murderous intent coming from behind, and he was in tears. He suddenly thought that if he lost this game, his life would be worrying, so he might have to go to Liangzhou to join that person, right?

Thinking of the fact that the man who is now the deputy governor of Anxi and who has recruited his own Chen Lang, Chao Heng made up his mind and immediately fled to Liangzhou after the game. He could not stay in Chang'an City.

"Did you see it? You Japanese just can't do it!"

"Despicable and shameless. If you hadn't spent money to hire experts from the country to help..."

Thinking of the war between the two countries, these cowardly Silla dogs could not defeat them, so they deceived the Tang Dynasty, saying that the Japanese country was disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, which eventually caused them to be extremely miserable by the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Baijiangkou. Now these Silla countries were the first to use the outside moves, which made him lose the game. When the news came back to the country, what would he have to live in the world and commit suicide by separating himself?

Suddenly, in the seats of the vassal state, the Japanese and Silla delegations fought directly. If the Dragon Martial Army had not suppressed the enemy in time, they would have been afraid that the game would not be able to continue.

In the end, the game ended with a 3-0 victory, but in the final three days later, the Tang Dynasty Cuju masters they invited would naturally not play. In the end, they played with the Silla people in Chang'an City and lost 30-0. However, the Silla ambassador who had been beaten by many Japanese ambassadors on his face was still proud. He looked arrogant in the Sifang Pavilion, like the Tang Dynasty first and Silla second, and was finally beaten by the third and angry Uighur missions to almost lose their lives.

...

"Master, you must save me."

In the monastery of Qinglong Temple, Chao Heng said to Monk Jianzhen with a sad face. He wanted to leave Chang'an City immediately after the game. Who knew that those rangers who lost the bet and the nobles sent people to guard all the city gates, saying that they wanted to kill him, the one who collected dirty money and kicked the fake Yi Zhengshifeng.

He did not dare to go back to his home, so he did not dare to go to his colleagues and friends' homes. He could only come to Qinglong Temple to beg Monk Jianzhen to save him.

"Chao Bujue, how can I save you!"

Monk Jianzhen also heard about Chao Heng's incident. Who made Qinglong Temple rich? Some monks in the temple also went to bet on football, so naturally some people who lost the bet and cursed Chao Heng privately.

"Isn't the master going to Liangzhou? I just ask the master to bring me with me."

Apart from going to Liangzhou, Chao Heng had no way out. The ambassador who harmed him had been drunk all day in the Sifang Pavilion. He just waited for the imperial court to scold him, and then committed suicide by separatism. The culprit who caused his homeland to lose the game was to return to Japan, and he was afraid that the ministers would be chopped off their heads to vent their anger.

Who made Japan lonely overseas? Only Silla has dealt with the vassal states. Moreover, the two countries are mortal enemies of the enemy. They can lose anyone, but they cannot lose to Silla. What's more, this game was held by the Tang Dynasty, which means that Japan has lost all its face in front of the world's countries.

Chao Heng's return to China is also a dead end. What other choices can he have besides seeking Chen Guang?

"Oh, forgot, I have no results in the debate between me and the abbot of the Famen. I am planning to go to Liangzhou to visit Shen Dupu. Since you are willing, you will take the lead first, and pretend to be a disciple of me to avoid others' eyes and ears. When you arrive in Liangzhou, you will get your hair back."

After all, Monk Jianzhen was compassionate and could not see Chao Heng at all desperate, so he agreed to him.

"Thank you, Master."
