Chapter 778 A piece of shit is also useful
"Come on, please send this letter to Mr. Ma Tengma to attach it." Chen Xu wrote a letter to the guards outside the door.
Ma Teng was originally from Xianyang. Although his family was in decline, his ancestors still had their own protection. If it weren't for Ma Boyuan's accident, he would still be considered a dandy in Xianyang now, and the people he knew were not small and energy.
However, it is no longer possible now. After Ma Boyuan's death, the Ma family was completely declining, relying on his current status as a low-level official of the Ministry of Revenue, who is only a seventh-rank official. The rank of five or six hundred stones a year is completely unable to support the Ma family's huge family heritage. He can only continue to sell real estate and fertile land to make a living, and he has always wanted to curry favor with Chen Xu's thigh.
Last time, Chen Xu promised to accept Ma Teng and Shang Qi, two playboys who are now without fathers, mothers and family protection, Shang Qi was arranged to go to Wuzhong to hook up with Xiang Yu. Now, as the salt merchant has brought back two letters, he said that he has hooked up and often gets together to eat, drink and play, and the relationship is progressing smoothly. Chen Xu has never thought about Ma Teng's arrangements.
The main reason is that these dandy basically don’t know anything serious except eating, drinking and playing.
Chen Xu studied high-end things such as reform and scientific development, so he kept ignoring Ma Teng. Ma Teng would occasionally come to visit with some small gifts, and his slouching appearance made Chen Xu very unhooked.
However, forming a football team and starting a Hercules Cup Cuju competition and a bookmaker must be the specialty of a playboy like Ma Teng. Let him communicate with Meng Yun and other groups of playboys, which is much smoother than communicating with them.
It was already half an hour after the servant who delivered the letter returned.
And Ma Teng was also here at the same time.
May is the hot summer season, and it is already late afternoon. The sun is like a fireball hanging obliquely on the blue sky, and the strong sunlight is like a flame scorching the earth. It is the hottest time of the day.
Ma Teng rode a horse and followed the servant in a hurry, sweating all over. After getting off the horse, he followed the doorman to visit Chen Xu in the living room.
This is the first time Chen Xu has officially summoned him after he defected.
Therefore, Ma Teng was very excited and nervous at this time.
In the living room, after the guest and guest sat down, Chen Xu ordered the maid to bring a bowl of ice noodles to the hot and breathless Ma Teng. After Ma Teng was grateful for his inexplicable bite, he felt cold and relaxed all over.
"Mr. Marquis, I wonder what instructions do you have to call me down today?" Since he was relying on Chen Xu, Ma Teng has always kept his identity low and regarded himself as his subordinate.
"Do you look at this first?" Chen Xu handed Ma Teng a stack of paper he wrote.
"The Hercules Cup Cuju Competition Charter..."
"New Cuju rules..."
“Cuju League Charter and System…”
“Cuju referee system…”
“Cuju competition betting rules…”
Ma Teng's face changed while looking through it. He quickly read the rules and regulations for more than ten pages. Although he was not familiar with these things, as a well-known playboy in the Cuju world in Xianyang, he basically easily understood the content, but his heart was full of doubts.
"Mr. Marquis, you want to let me see this..."
"Benhou, Mengxiaoling, Ma Sanlang, Qi Erlang and others have prepared a Cuju conference called Hercules Cup. This is the planning. According to Benhou's plan, he is preparing to organize eight Cuju teams in Xianyang, adopt the league system to take turns to advance in the points system, and finally decide the championship. The champion team won 100,000 yuan and a trophy made of gold. Regarding team formation, competition rules, league system, referee system, and betting based on each game, etc., this Marquis has written the charter.
If you have any questions, please ask me quickly. I will also set up a Cuju team in the Academy of Sciences system, but I have no time to handle it, so I will leave this matter to you. You will be fully responsible for everything in the future. You should also discuss the rules and regulations of these competitions with the Mongolian School Order and others to see which of them are suitable and which are not suitable and need to be improved to discuss and resolve them together. Finally, a strict competition system is formed, and we will strive to start the Hercules Cup Cuju competition across the country in the future..."
"This...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this national Cuju conference?" Ma Teng was stunned by Chen Xu's huge imagination.
"This is just an idea at present, but it is not impossible. Xianyang and Luoyang are only a thousand miles apart. Once the construction of New Oriental Road is successful, it will take only five or six days to travel between cars and horses. And big cities like Xinzheng Daliang are not far apart. As long as there are people in these places, we can naturally invite their stronger teams to compete in Xianyang. At the same time, we can also send teams to compete with them. Only by interacting with them can we enhance communication. Although Cuju is just a play, if it reaches the height of county honors, local people will definitely care and support it. This way, gambling and betting will also make us make a lot of money..."
Ma Teng quickly understood that the purpose of Qinghehou planned this Cuju conference was to make money!
And a Cuju Games that all people across the country participate...
Ma Teng imagined it and felt that he couldn't hold his urine.
The audience is crowded with people. According to the people who love various plays, there will inevitably be a large number of people who bet with lots of coins.
Thinking of this, Ma Teng quickly opened a stack of planning books and looked carefully again. During the process of looking, he asked for any things he didn't understand. And some places that were not suitable would be proposed for Chen Xu's reference.
Another hour passed, and the time was over, and the hot day finally began to slowly cool down.
And Ma Teng finally understood the stack of planning books written by Chen Xu.
After all, this is a high-end Cuju game.
Based on the previous Cuju competitions and rules, the new Cuju venues and methods that are now popular are adopted, and then expanded to eight regular teams. These teams have strict requirements on the number of people and personnel, and cannot be formed as randomly as before. There are also professional referees to direct the competition. Naturally, there are many rules and strict rules during the competition. Fighting, swearing, spitting at each other, beating referees, and other behaviors will be severely sentenced or even expelled. If the consequences are serious, they will not be allowed to participate in the Cuju League in the future.
Under these strict rules and regulations, the competition will become more regular and more ornamental, rather than being able to fight each other while kicking and kicking.
"Marquis, the team's organization and competition are relatively simple, but the prize money for the competition is too high. The first place has 100,000 yuan, the second place has 50,000 yuan, and the third place has 20,000 yuan. There is also a golden trophy of nine pounds and nine taels. Cuju is all gathered together to play. Where can we prepare for this nearly two hundred thousand yuan? If it is less, it may eventually be earned from gambling..."
Ma Teng finally raised the ultimate issue that must be considered when doing everything, that is money.
Nothing can be done without money.
"You don't have to worry about the money. I have already thought about it. Sell the advertisements of the Hercules Cup Cuju Competition. There are so many merchants in Xianyang, and there will always be outstanding in the long run. I will go to say hello to the newspaper in person. In a few days, the matter will be published on the newspaper about the Cuju Competition and the collection of advertisements. You will quickly form the Cuju team of the Academy of Sciences in the past few days, and at the same time, you must discuss with Mengyun and others to prepare everything in the league as soon as possible. The competition venue is between the Weihe Bridge and the Waterwheel Mill outside the East Gate..."
After Chen Xu gave me some careful advice, Ma Teng left happily.
After so long after joining Chen Xu, he finally arranged a test for him.
Chen Xu has clearly written all the rules and regulations of the Cuju conference. If he still can't do it well, he can just buy a piece of tofu and kill him.
Chen Xu also felt a lot of relief all over.
There is no useless person in this world.
Even a piece of shit can be used as fertilizer.
A playboy like Ma Teng can be said to be useless, but if you leave this matter to him, you will definitely meet Chen Xu's requirements.
Two days later, a group of playboys came to find Chen Xu with Ma Teng.
A group of people were sleeping in Chen Xu's swimming pool and exchanged the arrangements for the discussion of Cuju Conference.
A total of eight Cuju teams were formed, including Chen Xu, and the staff of each team have been gathered. The least one team has 15 people, and the most one is Chen Xu's Academy of Sciences. They have gathered twenty people. They also arranged a head coach and an associate coach according to Chen Xu's charter. Ma Teng and a group of playboys each serve as the team leader.
The names were quickly considered. Chen Xu's team was called the Tiger Team of the Academy of Sciences, Meng Yun's team was called the Paper Factory Flying Team, and the remaining teams also had their own names. Some were called the Chengnan Bulls, some were called the Chengdong Liuhuo Team, and some were called the Chengbei Wild Donkey Team. Anyway, they were influenced by Chen Xu's Tiger Team, and abandoned some of the less catchy names they had thought before.
Because it was the first time to organize such a large-scale folk event, Chen Xu was rich in theory and actually had no experience. He could only wait for the competition to officially start and slowly summarize his experience and improve the subsequent competition rules and arrangements.
After taking a bath, a group of people gathered in the living room, and Meng Yun took the pen and finally decided on the match schedule and date of the game.
The eight teams were divided into two groups A and B. First, they adopted the common group points competition in later generations. The first two advanced to the semi-finals. The four teams continued to adopt the elimination system. The two teams decided the winner in two games. The two winning teams entered the finals to compete for the first and second place, and the two failed teams competed for the third place.
