Chapter 365: A Big Business
Chang Yu stood on the eaves of the corridor on the second floor, looking into the distance by the railing, and saw Zhu Cihong go up the Yuhe Bridge and cross the Taiye Pool and disappear into the palace wall, then he sighed slightly, looked around, and there was no one around, even the fierce East Palace eunuch Luo Yan was gone, and the huge Ziguang Pavilion was empty at this time, making him feel a little lonely.
What's wrong with me?
Chang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, patted his head, turned around and went downstairs, walked out of the Ziguang Pavilion to the high platform, looked around left and right, and saw a eunuch and a palace maid hurrying by in the distance, then turned over and jumped down, and fell to the ground......
Embarrassed!
Father-in-law Chang hurriedly got up, looked around, as if no one noticed, patted his clothes and hurriedly walked along the lake towards the Yuhe Bridge (Jinhai Bridge).
Before the bridge, Chang Yu looked at the frozen lake, suddenly had a lot of fun, looked left and right that there was no one nearby, and suddenly jumped to the lake, this thing actually planned to skate across the river.
Woo, Chang Yu is not enjoying it, speeding on the ice is like returning to the happy life of his childhood, but he doesn't know that in the imperial city with strict palace rules, it is disrespectful to play like this, but he is happy at this time, but he can't care about so much, let alone ......
"Hey, who's so bold as to get ashore quickly......"
Chang Yu was in the mood to play, when he suddenly heard a loud shout, he was so frightened that he almost didn't stand firm, and followed the prestige, but it was a few eunuchs near the military battle bureau on the other side who were scolding him.
Rain on someone's parade!
Chang Yu sighed secretly, hurriedly went ashore, and deliberately bypassed those people and walked towards the Chongzhi Hall in the south, but those people chased after him, looking like the palace steward and eunuch, and pointed at him from afar: You don't know the rules, which yamen? “
cough cough cough, Chang Yu straightened his clothes, turned his head, and touched his chin a little embarrassed.
"What about you...... The little one has seen Chang Gonggong, and the little one has eyes and no beads...... "There are four or five frightened eunuchs kneeling in front of Hula, after all, Chang Yu is not only a celebrity in the palace now, but also a big celebrity around the emperor, and more importantly, he is the big devil of Dongchang who kills people without blinking!"
In short, in the imperial city, except for the emperor's family of three, he is the most awesome!
"Get busy", Chang Yu touched his chin, coughed lightly, and hurriedly left as he spoke.
The few eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground took a long breath, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile, "Grandpa Chang is a childlike child.
cough, Grandpa Chang is not very old, and he seems to be about the same as the crown prince......"
"Hey, people are more popular than people, look at people's young age, and then look at our age......"
"People's fate is destined by heaven, and people often go down to earth with martial arts, how can we be compared to ordinary people like us......"
"Wu Qu Xing, isn't it Wen Qu Xing?"
"You are stupid, Wen Quxing is the champion Lang, Chang Gonggong is known as the first in the Imperial City of Fists and Feet, if he can compete, he will definitely be the champion of martial arts......"
Chang Yu didn't know that the eunuchs behind him were talking about him, so he walked quickly towards the celebrant with a little embarrassment.
The celebrant is in the northeast corner of the imperial city, and the Shangyi eunuch in the northeast corner of the Wansui Mountain through the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace is close to the east, which occupies a small area, but is the most powerful yamen in the palace, and the emperor's palm print eunuchs are all from this.
Chang Yu came in a hurry, there were a few eunuchs standing at the entrance of the yamen, and when he saw him, he hurriedly gave a salute, and one of them ran in quickly to report, just entered the yamen and did not walk a few steps, and saw a group of old eunuchs hurriedly walking out of the lobby, clasping their fists and saluting, with a sycophant: "Chang Gonggong is not harmed, and his heroic spirit is better than before."
Chang Yu hugged his fists and returned the salute, "It's a step too late to be haunted by important things, don't blame it."
"Where, where, it's better to come early than to come" Everyone echoed and hugged him into the hall, and Chunxiang whispered in his ear: "I thought you weren't coming."
"The emperor has not summoned me, and I am idle to have a meal."
The banquet arranged by the eunuchs of the master of ceremonies can be described as rich, and it should be for Chang Yu to receive the wind and add another celebration, but he thought that Chang Yu could not go to the banquet, and Chunxiang replaced him, and everyone hastily opened the banquet.
The banquet at the table of the celebrant was sumptuous, and in addition to the eight eunuchs in the hall, they were all eunuchs of various yamen, so it can be said that in addition to Wang Chengen, the eunuchs were all here.
The highest rank in the entire harem is Wang Chengen, the most powerful is Chang Yu, and the hardest is Wei Dahai, because he is the eunuch who is the commander of the Tengxiang Four Guards, and the Teng Xiang Four Guards are the guards in the pro-guard army, the forbidden army in the forbidden army, and when the West Factory was still there, it was also controlled by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which was very hard, and because of this, these eunuch leaders in the palace were only the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
Who can do this position is not a delicate person, Chang Yu had just shown his dew before, he began to pull together intentionally or unintentionally, and at this time he was already in a state of climbing.
Wang Chengen is not there, Chang Yu is the leader, and the talk between the chips is all about casino matters, and now the boxing system is becoming more and more mature, and the gameplay is diverse, and even those nobles have begun to organize their own manpower to compete, simply put, it is not as easy to fool as before.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince previously proposed to open a boxing arena at Dashilar at the front gate, and we did as follows, found a shop, and are decorating, but I heard that His Royal Highness was a little hesitant at this time, what do you think of this matter?" Wei Dahai's face was burnt.
"Why hesitate?" Chang Yu knows that boxing is definitely a new thing in this year, and this kind of hormone-filled sport will definitely make those sons and brothers in the capital and the old men fall silent and can't extricate themselves.
He had also considered this idea before, but because he was too anxious to go to Beijing at the beginning, he delayed it, but he didn't want Zhu Cihong to start implementing it, and moving the boxing match from the palace to the outside of the palace was definitely a good business to make money.
"I'm afraid it's an insult to the royal face," Wang Dehua said, and everyone nodded slightly.
The eunuch is a royal servant, and it doesn't hurt to play in the palace, if you go outside the palace, it does hurt the royal dignity, and let outsiders think that the royal family is not poor and crazy, and the intention of collecting money is too obvious.
You must know that although the emperor is the king of a country, he also has private property and business, called Huangzhuang, and there is a celebrant who is responsible for taking care of it, but often because of the estimate of the royal face, it will not be too obvious to make a lot of money, such as the same rice shop, the price of the royal rice shop can never be higher than the market price, so it will be criticized by the people and ministers!
"If you don't need people in the palace, you can't get it, how can you insult the royal dignity" Chang Yu chuckled: "Since those nobles can choose people from the personal guards and organize their own teams, why do we have to use the people of the twenty-four yamen, the people of the personal guards can also be, and even find people outside, the so-called eunuch boxing match is a gimmick, the ultimate goal of the audience is to watch the bloody game and the silver of the white flowers that bet on winning, who cares if there is a string of things in the crotch of the boxer's pants......"
The eunuchs were stunned by what Chang Yu said, and they had to obey the flexible mind of the young eunuch in front of them, no wonder they were young but favored by the emperor.
A cup of tea moistened his throat, Chang Yu coughed lightly, and swept everyone on the table: "Our family has a better business, once it is done, the wealth will be rolling~"
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, the eunuchs were not allowed to participate in politics for officials, so what they loved the most was silver, and they all wanted to make more money to spend the rest of their lives after stepping out of the palace, and there was nothing more tempting to them than silver.
Keju?
Chang Yu gushed about half a cup of tea, and everyone was confused, the football team? League matches?
That's right, Chang Yu is going to enter the football industry, of course, the model cannot be completely copied from later generations, it must be adapted to the time and in line with the current national conditions.
Football originated from the Celestial Empire, so it is no stranger to the Ming Dynasty, and its development in the Ming Dynasty is more popular, not only the aristocracy, but also the common people are happy with it, it is recorded that Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang fought for the world in the early Ming Dynasty, and his younger brother Zhang Shixin was addicted to this, and even when marching and fighting, he had to take Keju and the music girl to play football while hilarious.
Later, after Lao Zhu sat in the world, he ordered to prohibit the army from playing ball, but only the army was forbidden, the upper class and the ordinary people enjoyed it, and even played a variety of tricks, and there was a workshop specializing in the manufacture of Keju (the name of the time), according to the record of the "Keju Atlas", there were 24 kinds, and the late "Keju Spectrum" recorded more than 40 kinds of health color names (football brands) and the folk club (football team) from the early Ming Dynasty recorded 45 to the middle and late Ming Dynasty recorded more than 130, which can be seen that the prosperity at that time.
It's a pity that after the Qing Dynasty, this thing was completely deviated and became a skating event......
Since there is such a large untapped market, Chang Yu will naturally not let it go, and he will start to reshuffle this traditional sport, such as formulating the latest football rules, which can be copied from future generations, and then organize leagues......
However, this matter is not a day, it needs to be done step by step, this time he first told the preliminary plan to these eunuchs, and then let them implement it step by step, anyway, these old eunuchs have nothing to do in the palace every day, eat and wait for death, this time let them select people and organize the team.
Football!
The eight eunuchs in the court, plus more than 20 eunuchs of the yamen, are hovering this new word in their minds at this time, and they are quite recognized when they think about it, there is nothing wrong with kicking a ball with their feet, it is called football.
"Our family has been busy with business recently, and may even go out of Beijing on an errand, if you have something, you can directly find Chunxiang, he can be fully responsible for everything on behalf of our family" At the end, Chang Yu said, looking at Chunxiang on his side and nodded slightly.
In fact, the public power supervisor had already learned that Chunxiang's identity was different at this time, he was not only Chang Yu's confidant, but also the official position of the head of the East Factory, simply put, the second in command of the East Factory, and he could be on an equal footing with them or even a head higher.
After eating this meal for nearly an hour, Chang Yu said goodbye and left, and Chunxiang stayed to discuss some details with everyone.
