Chapter 963: Kill these scholar-bureaucrats who disturb the morale of the army and surrender to the enemy and treason!

In terms of the venue, this racecourse, which has been built for less than half a year, looks very rough.

There are circles of concave tracks in the middle, surrounded by high platforms, layer upon layer, and seats are set up. The private room is set up with the best view.

But even this venue has a prescribed capacity of 8,000 people, but it is full every day. If it weren't for the scheduled private room location, it would be extremely popular.

Lin Yuanjing was not a private room, but the private room was full of officials and powerful people. He paid attention to his image and would not yell like ordinary audiences. Instead, he liked this kind of urban atmosphere and chose a high platform to stand.

At this time, the horse racing had not officially started, and the field was already noisy, with many people coming and going, shouting loudly:

"Sell fruits! Sell candied fruits! Sell candied haws!"

"Lottery, this issue of 5 is a seed. I have had close contact with His Majesty's Dragon Horse. If I buy it, I will definitely regret it if I don't bet!"

"Do you want a seat for tomorrow? There are three and five seats..."

The vendors selling snacks are so busy that they are not stuck in the ground. The most popular one is the lottery, which is actually the gambling market. However, it is not popular now. If you call it lottery, it is the most popular.

Of course, there are also idle men who come to take the spot early, which is the most difficult thing. If you can't get in, it's useless, especially those who bet. Who would bets are willing to wait for news outside the court?

If these are still in the normal business category, then the next voice changed Lin Yuanjing's face: "Does the telescope need a telescope? Wanqing Glazed Glazed... Yuyu is wide, the mirror is clear for thousands of miles... That... That... In the fantasy, standing on the stage, you can see clearly with each thousand-mile horse!"

Lin Yuanjing turned his head suddenly and saw a low man calling out, picking the audience in good clothes, with sneaky eyes and pressing his hands on his waist, as if there was something really hidden.

Just as Lin Yuanjing was about to signal to the guards on both sides, he heard a burly middle-aged man not far away snorting coldly: "Nonsense, telescopes are not as good as glasses used by literati, and no private transactions are allowed. Even if they are smuggled out, they cannot be sold here... I can't even recite poems. This is a idle man who wants to cheat money. Are you in a hurry to lose gambling? Just go to the Great Wall to calm down!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a guard from the racecourse rushed out and held the idle man up: "Take it down!"

Everyone watched coldly, and the idle man changed color: "Fake, fake, I just want to exchange some money for lottery...ah!

Amid the shrill screams along the way, the gambler who was red-eyed was dragged down, and the audience shook their heads and quickly turned back to the horse racing below. Only Lin Yuanjing looked at the middle-aged man with admiration and clasped his fists: "Brother, he has such a quick response and a very accurate judgment!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I've been too rewarded, and there are more and more convenient things in recent years. In recent years, the Ministry of Works has invented more and more convenient things, so there are many such thieves who are cheating. Even the capital has been deceived, let alone various prefectures and counties..."

As they were talking, amid the sound of horns, twelve racehorses entered the railing and began to prepare. The lottery-trading man waved his arms even more excitedly, and the audience also bought them.

Lin Yuanjing was actually not very interested in this. He used to teach his son and his family not to be obsessed with gambling. Now the same is true. People like him who practice martial arts have amazing self-control. But after looking at the man next to him, he said with great interest: "Brother, who thinks that horse has the most potential for a championship? What about No. 5? I heard that he has contact with Long Ju!"

The middle-aged man laughed generously: "Don't pay attention to those false words. Your Majesty's dragon horse is the most popular. As long as you follow him, they will brag about it as close contact. I will definitely not buy this horse, and I will definitely not win it!"

The people who bought No. 5 next to him immediately changed their color and rolled their eyes.

Fortunately, the racecourse was too noisy and not many people heard it. Seeing that this man was powerful and Kong Wu, he didn't come up to beat and scold him. He just muttered a few words in a low voice: "Bah, it's so unlucky!"

Lin Yuanjing laughed secretly and continued to ask, "Which brother chose?"

The middle-aged man Yang Yangyang's lottery ticket: "I choose No. 9, Hexi horses, and the good horses in the Western Xia are not comparable to those of the Central Plains. The tribute this time is even more good. That horse has a greater chance of winning the first place!"

Lin Yuanjing certainly knew that after his son ascended the throne and became emperor, the envoy of the Western Xia presented Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of Wanyan Aguda, to pray to be a vassal.

Yan Ting accepted Wanyan Zongwang and agreed to accept Xixia as a vassal state.

The strategic plan at the national level will not change. The two elite troops reorganized by the Zhao and Song Western Army are still practicing all day long on the Shaanxi border.

But since Xixia is so humble and surrenders, there is no need to push it to the Jin Kingdom now. After all, no matter how weak the country formed by the Dangxiang people is, it is a force, and there are not enough things to do, and there are more bad things.

When the news came back, Li Qianshun was overjoyed. With Yan Ting's prestige, he took advantage of the prestige of various domestic departments to pretend to be powerful, so he naturally did not dare to refuse to obey the requirements for buying horses.

Lin Yuanjing took back his thoughts and said, "Not only the official buying horses, but nowadays, many of the folk merchants in Dayan also buy horses from Xixia, which makes huge profits!"

The middle-aged man said: "Brother Tai said it is right. If the Hengshan Chamber of Commerce had not been rectified by Taifu Temple, the civil trafficking would have been even more rampant... Haha, the Hengshan Chamber of Commerce would have made a fortune in the war against the Western Xia in the previous dynasty. Now it is still crazy and finally wants to legislate and rectify those unscrupulous merchants!"

Lin Yuanjing was influenced by the eyes and nodded: "The previous dynasty merchants were able to take the imperial examinations and become officials. In addition to the strong monopoly on making money, they did not have the correct guidance for business. If the law was not prohibited, they would be free. Products such as the six major chambers of commerce came into being. In the court, they were mixed and weaved a huge network of contacts."

"I remember that when Doctor Gongsun had to order the Empress Dowager to take action against the Hou General Guild, the people and the people and the stolen things in Wuyoudong were both captured, and there was no result. In the end, the Ming Zun Jiao incident was only able to catch them all..."

"The chamber of commerce is no more active than the bullies among the landlords and powerful people. It must be vigorously rectified!"

The middle-aged man was moved: "Brother, I have a good experience!"

Lin Yuanjing was embarrassed to say that this was what his son said, so he could only smile.

He didn't know the recent situation of the Hengshan Guild, but he knew that the Chuanxia Guild had handed over the account books about Jiaozi to the court for rectification and review.

In fact, Li Yan took an equal attitude towards scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. The four people are the pillars of the country, and they are crucial to the country. They will not discriminate against and suppress businessmen. All they have to ban are the monopoly chambers of commerce that want to be profitable and cannot afford to get up early.

After the middle-aged man praised it, he actually made similar remarks: "As long as the Chamber of Commerce abides by the law, no one will prohibit it. The court's revitalization of horse politics starts with horse racing. Your Majesty is really a wise lord!"

Lin Yuanjing smiled and said, "Only everyone will be positive if there are good things. This is human nature!"

Before, Yan Ting promoted the status of soldiers and raised the power of the six ministries. Now he held horse racing competitions, the core of the core is like this.

In the past, when there were only more than a thousand horses in the Song court, the subjects were not in a hurry. They bought horses for transportation by the powerful. Now the horse racing is lively, and I saw that the emperor was eager to cheer up the horse politics. If the superiors liked each other, the subordinates would be able to follow it. The attitude immediately changed. The rich and noble families began to use various ways to buy high-quality horses to show their loyalty.

The middle-aged man's eyes fell on the No. 9 horse he bet on, and looked at No. 10 again, revealing his scrutiny: "This Jin Man's horse is indeed extraordinary. His spirit today is three points stronger than the last game. He is a strong rival!"

Lin Yuanjing was shocked when he heard this: "The horse of the Jin people? No. 10? We are practicing horses now, and we are trying to destroy the Jin Kingdom. How could they sell the horses?"

The middle-aged man said, "That's indeed a new Jurchen horse. As for why the Jin people are willing to sell it... I have to ask the merchants' methods and see if the Jin people are as powerful as the rumors... Look, No. 9 and No. 10 are coming out!"

Lin Yuanjing widened his eyes and carefully observed the Jurchen horse. The position he stood was far behind, and he was not as clear as he could see without a telescope. He asked curiously: "Why don't you choose Jurchen horses?"

The middle-aged man explained: "Horse racing is not an individual sports. In addition to riders and BMWs, there are horsemen, veterinarians, and hoof nailers. Only by collaborating with each other and working together to win the championship. There is a good team for No. 9 Hexi Horse. But this No. 10 Jurchen Horse is not that lucky. I think it cannot get No. 9..."

Lin Yuanjing sincerely praised: "Brother, I know so much, haven't asked for advice yet?"

The middle-aged man said, "I am Xia Zongze, whose courtesy name is Rulin, and I hurt someone in Dongwu, Zhejiang. I didn't ask my brother for his name Taigao?"

Lin Yuanjing did not ask about his name before, and he was embarrassed in this regard. He didn't want to lie, but he was afraid that he would start to disturb the world. However, thinking about his fame, he chose to hide one word: "In Xia Lin Jing, whose courtesy name was Shuhe, was from the capital."

Because the Supreme Emperor has too low presence, he does not have high requirements for avoiding taboos. The two words can be separated separately, but the same name cannot be taken.

For example, Li Shimin avoids taboos, "Shi" and "Min" are both common characters. At first, many people avoid taboos. Later, Li Shimin issued a special edict, "In modern times, two characters have been avoided, and there are many abolished treasures. It is contrary to the classics. If the official title, name, public and private documents are not continuous, there is no need to be taboos." The two words "Shimin" are connected together, and they can be alone.

Zong Ze really didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would appear on the racetrack in casual clothes, and bowed with a smile: "It is a blessing for Zong to meet his uncle and brother today!"

Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Lin Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Brother Rulin laughed, we got along at first sight!"

He lives a worry-free life now, but he misses the days when the imperial guards in charge back then. Although no soldiers are willing to practice martial arts hard, no one is afraid. He talks to himself carefully, for fear that if a word is wrong, it may cause trouble.

Lin Yuanjing is not used to this, so he feels that the racecourse is more comfortable...

Seeing Zong Ze, who had a great time talking to him and had a lot of insights into everything, the Supreme Emperor smiled again.

Although he lives a peaceful life, he can still recommend talents to the country!
