Tang Er gently put down the binoculars, looked at Li An with a little doubt, and said: "Father, the children are watching the eldest children ride horses, and they are not as powerful as their father said, they just fell off after riding for a while, and they are still lying on the ground crying?" ”

After saying that, he was suspicious of Li An, and said that hearing is false and seeing is believing, Tang Er can see clearly, these big children in the racecourse are not as powerful as they imagined, and they are no different from those straw bales near their residences, they are simply rice buckets.

"Oh, is it? Let my father see it. ”

Li An just paid attention to the group of ladies next to the racetrack, and did not pay attention to the situation inside the racecourse, hearing Tang Er say this, he hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the runway of the racecourse.

"It's normal, it's because there are too many people, the horses can't run away, and the two horses collide together, but this child is really not good, he just fell lightly, and he can cry in pain, it's really embarrassing!"

The corners of Li An's mouth smiled faintly, Tang Er didn't lie, the eldest child he saw was really not very good, it was just a straw bale with no ability, falling from such a small horse, he could cry like this in pain, which was too embarrassing.

However, this can only mean that some older children are like this, and it does not mean that all older children are such straw bales, and there are still some children who are very powerful elites.

"Hmph, didn't my father say that the big kids out there are all amazing? It turns out that it was nothing more than that. ”

Tang'er's tail was cocked again, looking very proud, as if he was the most powerful child in the world, and no one was better than him.

Li An shook his head with a smile, and educated: "Tang'er, don't be arrogant, the big kid you saw is indeed a rice bucket, but there must be a lot of powerful ruthless characters in it, if you pay attention and observe more, you will definitely find something." ”

"Oh, there's a big kid, so I'm going to have to take a good look."

Tang Er's tone was obviously not believing that there were other big children who were better than him, he was too confident in himself, confident to the point of being very arrogant.

The children who come to the racecourse to play are basically the children of aristocratic families and wealthy merchant families with a little strength, some of these children are pampered and grow up, and there is no strength, and some of them have grown up with strict requirements since childhood, and their strength is very strong, but, in general, there are more pampered children, and there are not many children who are really strict from an early age, so there are always a few children with strength.

It was precisely because most of the children were weaker children that Tang Er found a big straw bag at a casual glance, so he mistakenly thought that all the children were straw bags.

Li Ang and Tang Er are looking for a big child with good riding skills, for Li An, he wants Tang Er to have a good look at how powerful the big children with superb riding skills are, and for Tang Er, he really wants to see how powerful the big child his father said is, is it really more powerful than him.

The area of the racecourse is relatively large, although it is a children's racecourse, but the scale is not smaller than the ordinary adult racecourse, and even, the scale is more than many ordinary adult racetracks, thus attracting a large number of children to practice horseback riding.

Some of the good skills are here to show off, and the skills are not good, many of them are here to play, and some are purely here to learn to ride horses, and they don't plan to participate in the competitions organized by the imperial court, and they can't participate.

Li An took a look at it, and really couldn't see the big children with too good skills, because there were too many people and horses in the racecourse, resulting in a very crowded track, in this case, no matter how good the skills were, it would not be shown, if you forcibly perform your superb riding skills, it is very likely to bump into other children, which will lead to a series of disputes.

It seems that Li An took Tang Er to this place to look for a big child with superb riding skills, it was a proper mistake, before setting off, Li An did not expect that there would be so many horseback riding children in this large racecourse, if he knew that it was crowded like this, Li An would definitely not come.

"Tang'er, there are too many people in this racetrack, and some of them can't run away, so we can't see the big children with accurate skills, but there must be such big children, and my father will take you to other racetracks to have a look."

Li An said very helplessly.

I thought things would go very well, but it backfired, the largest racecourse in the southeast of Beijing, due to the fame is too great, resulting in many people coming here to run horses, and then all the runways are occupied, it is difficult to run in the racetrack, you can only ride slowly and leisurely.

In this way, you can't practice skills at all, but the safety aspect is very secure, which makes many women who send their children to learn to ride horses are very reassured, most of them are very fond of children, very worried that children will be in danger, so they don't like children to run too fast on horseback, the track is crowded, just in line with their minds, and they can also use this opportunity to make a rare comparison with each other.

In Ang Lee's view, the racetrack in front of him has become a playground for children, and almost all children come to ride horses, not to practice riding, which makes Ang Lee feel that he has come to the wrong place.

"Can you see a big kid who is very good at riding in another place?"

Tang Er looked unconvinced again, looking very arrogant.

Li An's words were suddenly speechless, if he didn't see a big kid with great riding skills in another place, Tang Er was afraid that he would never believe that there was a big kid in this world who was better at riding than him.

Because he didn't pay much attention to this aspect of things, Ang Lee couldn't figure out where the big kids were training their riding skills, and if he went to a racetrack casually, if it was still in this crowded situation, he would run in vain.

Li Ang didn't know much about this matter, but the guards under his command might know something, so Li Ang decided to ask his guards to see if they knew about it.

There are more than a dozen guards who followed this trip, and their sources of information are relatively complex, so they naturally know many small things that Li An does not know.

Sure enough, after asking around, several guards recommended a racecourse for Li An to train elite children, it is very domineering when you hear the name, it is called the champion racecourse, the purpose of establishing this racetrack is to train children who can win the championship, and every year, half of the children with higher rankings have been trained in the champion racecourse, but the requirements of this racetrack are relatively high, and you can't go in to train if you have money, you must meet some of the most basic conditions, for example, you must be at least nine years old, Riding must reach a certain level, the child can not be too squeamish, too weak, can not be a pampered child, one of these conditions can not be met can not enter the champion racecourse.

According to such strict standards, a child as young as Tang'er is not eligible to enter, because he is too young and has no advantage in physical strength.

That is to say, the people who come out of the champion racecourse can get good results because their students themselves are very powerful, just like some elite schools in later generations, most of the children in them can get good results, mainly because when they enter the school, they are already children with very good grades, and children with poor grades can't get in at all, because the seedlings are good enough, so as long as they are slightly cultivated, they can achieve better results.

Many schools in later generations will carry out student wars when recruiting students, and they are trying their best to recruit students with good grades, and even deliberately take out a lot of money to lure high-quality students into their own schools, the purpose of which is to be able to get a good result in the unified examination after many years. The quality of the students is so important.

The shopkeeper of the Champion Racecourse is obviously well versed in this and understands this truth very well, so in order not to smash his own signboard, when he recruited students, he put forward a lot of conditions to let the plasticity children who meet the conditions enter, and for the children who may not meet the requirements, they are all turned away, so as to ensure that the people who come out of the Champion Racecourse are excellent riding masters.

"Who is the shopkeeper of this champion racecourse, is he a businessman?"

Ang Lee asked.

"Back to Li Shilang, the shopkeeper's surname is Wang, it is said that he was the captain of the Longwu Army before, and was dismissed from his post because of drunken trouble, and after that, he left the Longwu Army and built a champion racecourse in the east of the city, it is said that the business is not bad, although there are not many children inside, but the single fee is higher, and it is profitable."

Hearing this, Li An nodded, and said: "To be able to open the racetrack, this Captain Wang should not be simple, an ordinary lieutenant lieutenant, where will there be so much money to open a racecourse, these fruits are dismounted, a very ordinary horse, is enough for ordinary people to earn a year." ”

"What Li Shilang said is that it is said that this Wang Xiaowei is a descendant of the Langya Wang family, and the family is quite wealthy, so he was able to buy hundreds of horses in one go, and he also bought such a large piece of land."

One of the guards spoke.

Li An nodded, finally understood.

It is not very far from the southeast of the city to the east of the city, and it is only a dozen miles away, and after the traffic situation improves, it will take more than ten minutes to arrive soon.

This is a relatively far location in the east of the city, which is already a suburb of the suburbs, and because it is far away from residential areas, the environment here seems a little deserted.

The Champion Racecourse is in front of it, and the whole racecourse is very large, but there is no decent fence, except that there is a fence near the house where the horses are kept, and there is no fence in the vast racetrack, which will make the field look bigger.

The racecourse does not set up a fence, there is also a purpose, that is, to occupy public resources, when encountering a lot of people, you can leave the land range of the racecourse, and run horses on the surrounding open space, anyway, these areas are useless open space, do not use it in vain, and it costs money to set up fences, which is worth the loss.

"There is vacant land for more than ten miles to the east, and this racetrack has made a lot of money, and it can use the resources that are temporarily idle."

Ang Lee said with a smile.

From a distance, around the Champion Racecourse, there are at least dozens of children practicing horseback riding, and these children are relatively strong riding talents.

"Tang'er, have you seen it, these are the elites among the big kids, look at how well they ride, are they much more powerful than you."

Li An pointed to a group of children in the distance and spoke.

Tang Er picked up the binoculars, looked at these children quietly, and couldn't say a word for a long time, the level of these people is indeed very high, much higher than Tang Er, and even, many of them are practicing riding and shooting, which is the most technically demanding skill in riding.

Since ancient times, there is a very key requirement in the criteria for selecting military generals, that is, the bow horse is proficient in riding and shooting, which shows how important riding skills are for a military general, and it also reflects that it is not easy to have riding and archery ability.

It is not easy for a child about 10 years old to have the ability to ride archery, and the future is naturally limitless if you start practicing riding and archery from this age.

"Father, I'm going to practice archery on horseback too."

Tang Er saw these older children practicing horseback riding and archery, and his heart was a little itchy, and he felt that he could also give it a try.

Li An said with a smile: "Tang'er, it's not good yet, your riding skills have just begun to practice, and your archery skills are also average, how can you practice riding and archery in this situation?" Let's practice riding and archery first, and then go to practice riding and archery! Otherwise, it will have no effect. ”

There is a saying that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Tang Er is too young now, whether it is riding or archery, you have just begun to practice, in this case, you can't be greedy, you must improve your skills step by step, so that you can have a better effect, if you ignore the actual situation, forcibly practice riding and shooting, the final result is that the effect of practice is extremely poor, or even a waste of time at all, and there may be unpredictable dangers, causing great damage to your body.

"Oh, when am I going to practice riding and shooting!"

Tang Er asked.

Li An thought for a moment and replied: "After a year, it will be almost fine, my Tang'er will spend a year practicing riding and archery, and by this time next year, Tang'er's riding and archery will inevitably make great progress, so that it will be time to practice riding and archery, and when the time comes, my father will teach you personally." ”
