Chapter 872 Milestones in Football Development

"Prince, today is the first time Gu's luggage team has played in the Heytea Cup Football League. Do you want to go over and take a look? It's in the football field of Guanshishan Academy?"

Wu Meiniang came to Li Kuan. In the past few days, she keenly realized that Li Kuan's emotions seemed a little different.

So I wanted to find an opportunity to go out and have some breathing together. Today is what she thinks is a good time.

"Hicha Cup Football League is on?"

"Yes, Panpan has been looking forward to it for a long time. Xiao Yumi and Yizi and the others have to come and join in the fun. Why don't we go and have a look together? I heard that the tickets for this time were sold out a few days ago."

"Let's go, then go and have a look!"

Wei Zheng's incident made Li Kuan notice Li Shimin's changes.

In history, Li Shimin, who was seventeen years old in Zhenguan, was a wise ruler who was talented, clear-headed, listened to various advices, and reflected on his gains and losses every day.

However, after the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, everyone clearly felt that Li Shimin had changed.

Not only did he become stubborn, but he also became more determined and had some similarities with Yang Guang.

This is naturally not what Li Kuan hopes to see, and it is not conducive to him changing the future pattern of the Tang Dynasty. So Li Kuan has been thinking about how to change this situation these days.

"Your Highness, you are here just in time. Today, the shoes and clothes worn by Gu's luggage team are carefully made by the craftsmen of our shop. They are most suitable for football. What do you think?"

Wu Meiniang and Li Kuan had just arrived at the VIP seat, and Gu Panpan came over.

As the funder of the football team, she naturally came here today.

"It seems to be quite lean, but I don't know how sweat-absorbing performance is. As for that shoe, although I haven't worn it, I guess the anti-slip performance needs to be improved, and the impact resistance of the toes continues to be improved. Of course, the most important thing is to make it as light as possible so that players can feel comfortable to wear it."

In these days, nobles generally use animal skin as raw materials to make boots, while the people at the bottom use straw sandals as the standard; the craftsmen in the middle wear cloth shoes.

Especially the emergence of cotton cloth has made cloth shoes the widest audience in just two or three years.

Of course, cloth shoes also have many disadvantages.

It is definitely not possible to use it as sneakers.

"You will tell me the words of His Highness Gu Lei, your highness, to the craftsmen in the workshop without missing a word. Who can make sneakers that meet all the above requirements, this girl will give you two hundred coins."

When Li Kuan said that, Gu Panpan naturally knew how high the value it contained was.

Whether Gu's luggage workshop can become the top sportswear workshop in the Tang Dynasty depends on its performance in recent years.

Once you have gained a firm foothold and all the teams in the Heytea Cup Football League use clothes and shoes produced by their workshops, it will not be so easy for others to break this situation.

Therefore, Gu Panpan really attaches great importance to the craftsmen in the workshop.

You know, for an ordinary craftsman, two hundred stags of money is definitely a reward.

It is basically equivalent to a worker in later generations, and he received a bonus of several million.

"Prince, the Guanshishan Academy football team was originally a very strong team, and now it has more professional clothes and shoes. I believe that the performance this year will be very impressive, and it may even defeat the football team of the Royal Military Academy of Datang, the champion last year."

Seeing that Li Kuan's brows seemed to be less sad, Wu Meiniang also had a smile.

"Mei Niang, it's Gu's luggage team. If you mention Guanshishan Academy football team, then I'm going to be angry with me on purpose. I spent a lot of money to win this naming right. If you take the lead in destroying it, then everyone will still hand over the team to Guanshishan Academy football team, then I will really lose all my money."

Gu Panpan pretended to be a little angry and pouted and complained to Wu Meiniang.

"Panpan, the Datang Daily has not reported much about your Gu's luggage team these days. The Gu's luggage that few people originally knew about is now famous in Chang'an City. In the Treasure Pavilion, the boxes and bags that you could not sell before are now sold out, right?"

Wu Meiniang is not the one who is willing to suffer losses.

Even if it is such a small thing, she will win.

"The game is about to begin. We guess how many points can Gu's luggage team defeat their opponents today?"

Gu Panpan was thick-skinned and turned a straightforward change of topics.

"In the preliminary group competition, as long as you don't encounter the traditional strong teams, it will be difficult for Gu's luggage team to lose. The Imperial College deserves their luck this year, and they met us in the first game."

Although Wu Meiniang can't say she likes football, she made this thing by Li Kuan, so she naturally would like to get to know it well.

"The Fanyang Mabu Shop of the Lu family has obtained the naming rights of the Imperial College football team this year and has now been renamed the Fanyang Mabu Team. That Kong Yingda has come here today, right there."

Gu Panpan stretched out his slender jade fingers from the side and pointed diagonally opposite.

Sure enough, Li Kuan saw Kong Yingda and Lu Xuan sitting in front, whispering.

"It is a general trend to replace linen cloth. Not to mention that the Lu family has only obtained the naming rights of the Imperial College team. Even if they have obtained the naming rights of the football league, it will not bring much improvement to the sales in their shops."

Wu Meiniang naturally paid great attention to the cotton cloth of the King of Chu Mansion.

However, with the sharp drop in cotton prices last year and the increase in cotton planting area in Hedongdao this year, she felt that the general trend of cotton occupying the main clothing materials of the people of the Tang Dynasty has formed.

Even if the Fanyang Lu family is powerful and has amazing influence, it is impossible to change this situation.

This is like Nokia in later generations. No matter how strong your strength is, no matter how high your market share is, it is impossible for you to fight against smart phones with traditional mobile phones.

Besides, although the Imperial College football team is also good, there is basically no hope to enter the semi-finals.

Therefore, the promotion effect of naming rights cannot be much better.

"Haha! I entered, I entered in just a few minutes!"

It seemed as if to prove Wu Meiniang's words, Gu's luggage scored a goal from the beginning, which was a victory.

Gu Panpan was so happy that he jumped up and didn't want any image.

"The players of the Imperial College are said to have chosen students with high and large horses and skilled bows and horses. They thought this football match was a single-handed military competition."

Wu Meiniang saw that there was a significant difference in body shapes between the two teams, so she kept saying sarcastic words.

"We have gradually taken the construction of this football team, but professional football referees still need to be strengthened."

Li Kuan's focus is obviously different from everyone's.

The victory or defeat of a soccer match can no longer touch his heart.

How to truly popularize the Tang Dynasty's football sport and achieve sustainable development is the issue he was considering at this time.

Obviously, there is only one referee on the entire football field now, so it is sure that all judgments are accurate.

"Although the football agreement was just established this year, in addition to obtaining 10,000 yuan in naming rights income, it is also planned to collect 20% of the naming rights from each football team as a football development fund, specifically used to build football fields and train referees and logistics personnel."

Gu Panpan didn't know football before, but after having the Gu football team, she began to care about all the information related to football in Datang.

"This idea is good. In the future, the Tang Football Association can even issue lucky papers related to football games to obtain stable income and accelerate the popularity of football."

Li Kuan was very clear about the favor of the people of the Tang Dynasty for "lucky paper".

In the entire Chang'an City, it is not easy to find several families who have never bought lucky paper.

If we can combine the results of the Heytea Football League with Lucky Paper, we will definitely be popular.

Anyway, instead of letting the various gambling shops earn this money, it is better to give it to the Tang Dynasty Football Association.
