Compared to Li Zexuan's' slow reaction ', the people of Chang' an City were more aware of the upcoming football league!
Two days ago, the people had noticed that there were obviously more "foreigners" in Chang 'an than before. After a little inquiry, they knew the purpose of these people coming to Chang' an. Naturally, they thought of the league system announced to the public when the Tang Football Association was just established last year. Thus, countless "football enthusiasts" were boiling with excitement!
Yes, football enthusiasts. In the past half a year since the introduction of football, its unique viewing value and unparalleled passion made every small-scale football game attract many people to watch!
Moreover, in a football game, the teamwork between the teams, the tacit understanding between the players, the battle tactics between the two teams, the dazzling passing of the ball, and the fatal shots at crucial moments, all made people tighten their toes and feel their blood boil!
Those who had personally watched a football game, regardless of the scale, as long as they were at the scene and felt the intense atmosphere, they would never forget it! The most exciting moment was of course the moment when the goal was scored. The cheers of the whole stadium, the state of the protagonist, at that moment, the whole stadium treated him as the focus, and he was the hero on the field!
Cheers for the hero, pride for the hero! Salutations for the hero! The hero was the focus of the whole stadium! The excitement that the heroes could bring to people was more attractive than a football game! Because of this, although football had only appeared in Tang Empire for half a year, it had already attracted a large number of people who liked to play or watch football games!
This was the charm of the number one sport in modern times! Gold would shine no matter where it was, and something with charm would attract people regardless of the era!
Therefore, when the people knew that a series of top football games would be held in Chang 'an City from next month onwards, they cheered loudly and spread the news!
At this moment, they were only waiting for the Tang Empire Football Association to announce the specific date and schedule of the games!
At this moment, the people realized that the Tang Empire Football Association was also such an important department. It was not insignificant!
…
Two days later, the Tang Empire Football Association's notice about the league in March finally appeared on Datang Daily. The originally lively Chang 'an City was completely boiling!
"Wow! According to the newspaper, doesn't that mean that we can watch football games for the next three to four months? "
"Haha! That's great! We won't be bored for the next few months! "
(In ancient times where entertainment was lacking, once football became popular, it was undoubtedly the best way to relieve boredom for those who were bored out of their minds.)
"That's right! Let's hope that there are a few strong teams among them. That will be more exciting! "
"There's nothing to say. If there really is a good team, this young master will buy it! Damn it, I formed a team last year, but they couldn't even enter the top three in Chang 'an City. Then, they wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the Ranking Competition next month! What bad luck! "
"Hahaha! Young Master Cao, with those weak little bastards that you found, do you really think they can enter the top three? I think they can't even beat my team? "
"Scram! Let's see, let's see which team team team is the better team! "
"Heh! Let's compete! Who's afraid of who? "
Last year, when football was just on the rise, many rich young masters in Chang 'an City and other provinces and counties had formed teams. It was not that they wanted to form teams to participate in the competition and win the prize money of the league. Most of them formed teams just for fun, or to compete with their friends on a daily basis. That was all!
Compared to the people of modern times, the Tang people's passion for football was still quite high. At the very least, at this time, there were many more civilian teams than in modern times. Although the quality was still unknown, with a good start, after years of training and competition, there was naturally no need to worry too much about the overall football skills!
.....
"Today, I've gathered all of you here because I have a very important matter to inform you!"
In a room in the workshop, Li Zexuan looked at the six members of the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce and said in a deep voice.
Originally, there were eight members, but as the crown prince, Li Chengqian must have been listening to politics in the morning. How would he have the time to come? As for Wang Renbiao, he was now the provincial governor of Qizhou, ruling over a region! Of course, Li Zexuan still left some shares for Wang Renbiao in the Flaming Yellow Bank this time. When he met Wang Renbiao in the future, he would give a portion of his shares to Wang Renbiao.
Strictly speaking, Wang Renbiao was a friend worth making, and the Wang family led by Wang Yu was also a good power to make friends with!
"Marquis, please speak. We're all ears!"
Cao Wendong and the rest clasped their hands together.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Two days ago, His Majesty summoned me to the palace to talk about the Flaming Yellow Bank and the Tang Yuan! During this time, I've already convinced His Majesty to issue the Tang Yuan in the name of the imperial court and use the Tang Yuan to gradually replace the copper coins! "
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and were overjoyed! This was because they all had shares in the Flaming Yellow Bank! If the Tang Yuan could be given credibility to the imperial court, then wouldn't it be just a matter of time before the Tang Yuan became the mainstream currency in the Tang Dynasty?
At that time, wouldn't they, the 'original shareholders' of the Flaming Yellow Bank, be lying on the ground and counting money? Furthermore, if the Flaming Yellow Bank became a national bank, their 'social status' would also rise along with it!
"Thank you, Marquis, for your grace!"
After the excitement, Cao Wendong and the rest clasped their hands together to express their gratitude.
Li Zexuan waved his hands and interrupted, "Don't celebrate too early! His Majesty said that the Flaming Yellow Bank controls the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty. This is a serious matter, so the Flaming Yellow Bank must be controlled by the imperial court in the future. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere too much. The 9% shares that I promised you at the beginning will definitely not be given to you! "
Hearing this, the faces of the few people darkened. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. There was indeed no such thing as a free lunch in the world!
"Marquis, if the imperial court is in charge of issuing the Tang Yuan in the future, the Flaming Yellow Bank will indeed be a national treasure. The few of us are just merchants and have no right to participate in it! I understand Marquis's difficulties! "
After a moment of silence, Feng Zhihua stood up and clasped his hands together.
The rest also hurriedly expressed their understanding.
Li Zexuan nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Haha! I can't give you the 9% shares, but His Majesty is still willing to give you 5% shares on account of your huge investment in the Flaming Yellow Bank! When the time comes, you can divide this 5% shares according to the amount of copper coins that each of you has contributed! However, there is one point. You will only have the right to dividends and cannot interfere with the operations and management of the bank! "
Swoosh ~!
As soon as he finished speaking, all 12 pairs of eyes turned to Li Zexuan in unison. Everyone's breathing quickened, and all of them were so agitated that their necks turned red. After all, they had thought that they had nothing to do with the bank anymore. Li Zexuan's words had undoubtedly brought them back from the brink of death. Although the shares that each of them received had decreased, with the imperial court's participation, the quality of the shares had increased! Even if they were only given 1%, they would definitely earn more than before, let alone 5%!
"Thank you, Marquis, for putting in a good word for us in front of His Majesty! We will definitely be at Marquis's beck and call in the future and serve him faithfully! "
