On Monday morning, Li Bai and Gao Qiu, who had returned, sat in the classroom and listened quietly to Xunze's instructions to arrange the teaching tasks for the week.
"Li Bai will study on his own this week."
Jing Xunze said to Li Bai, "I think I have nothing left to teach you.
So you make your own study plan this week."
"Okay teacher."
Li Bai nodded and said, "Then can I go out at any time?"
"Just come back and sleep at night."
Jing Xunze looked at Li Bai and said, "By the way, try not to cause trouble when you go out.
You don't have a household registration.
It will be very troublesome once you are taken to the police station."
"I understand."
Li Bai nodded obediently.
Watching Li Bai walk out of the classroom, Xunze turned to Gao Qiu and said, "Did you read any information about football last night?"
"I saw it," Gao Qiu replied, "Although I have completed the tasks assigned by the teacher, China Football still has not risen."
"The reason for this is mainly because the teacher didn't consider it well."
Xunze took the responsibility on himself, "You did create the football league and promote modern football.
But at the beginning you promoted it under the banner of military training.
Soccer was limited to the military, and a complete league system was not brought to the civilian population.”
"What the teacher means is that when I go back next time, I will try to establish a football league directly among the people instead of the military."
"This won't work."
Jing Xunze said, "It's difficult to establish a complete football system with your own efforts.
Even if you spend your whole life establishing a football league in the capital.
But once war sweeps through and people are displaced, The football league you built will be lost in history."
"What should we do?"
Gao Qiu looked at Ming Xunze and asked in confusion.
"My father taught me a truth since I was a child."
Jing Xunze looked at Gao Qiu and said, "When you really want to do something, but you can't accomplish it by yourself.
You need to use some benefits to seduce someone.
As long as a huge group of people joins with capital, what you want to do will not stop.”
"Teacher, I still don't understand."
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."
He asked Xunze to sit across from Gao Qiu, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and then asked Gao Qiu, "Are you Song people good at gambling?"
"That's right."
Gao Qiu replied, "From the emperors to the ordinary people, and even to the ruffians from all religions and schools, it can be said that everyone does not gamble."
People in the Song Dynasty loved gambling, which is very famous in history.
From Zhao Kuangyin who lost Huashan by gambling with a Taoist priest to Song Huizong who lost two thousand gold in a chess game with Li Shishi, every emperor of the Song Dynasty had more or less several folk stories about gambling.
Even Song Renzong, who had a good reputation, had a story about losing a thousand dollars in a bet with a palace maid and shamelessly asking for five hundred dollars back.
As the saying goes, whatever the superiors respect, the people must respect.
With the emperor taking the lead in gambling, the subjects would have no scruples.
In the Battle of Chanzhou, which determined the fate of the Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Kou Zhun, as the commander-in-chief before the battle, did not forget to drink and gamble with others.
The famous idiom "all-or-nothing" comes from the biography of Kou Zhun in the history of the Song Dynasty: "A wise man is eager to lose all his money, so he spends all he has, which is called a desperate bet."
In addition to ministers such as Kou Zhun, literati in the Song Dynasty also liked gambling very much, including the poetess Li Qingzhao.
She once introduced more than 20 ways to gamble in her articles.
For example, rich people like to gamble on football.
The ball-finger Cuju here is not Those who have money can play chess.

Song Huizong and Song Qinzong may agree to this, because when they were kidnapped by the Jin people, they still did not forget to bring chess with them in their panic.
Of course, these are relatively high-end gambling methods.
Common people generally like cockfighting, cricket fighting, betting on the heads and tails of coins, throwing dice, etc.
As an independent-minded young lady, Li Qingzhao thought throwing dice, cockfighting and cricket fighting was too vulgar, and betting on football was inconvenient, so she invented a gambling method called horse racing.
Because this thing has been lost, no one knows exactly how to play it, but some people speculate that horse playing may be the predecessor of mahjong.
Ask Xunze to write the word "Gamble" on the paper, and then write the word "Football" next to Gambling's son.
"Since everyone likes to gamble, and football is very suitable for gambling.
So, can we combine gambling and football?
Establish related gambling institutions, and then attract a large number of gamblers and casinos.
In this way, once the trend of gambling on football If it becomes popular, some people will naturally establish their own teams among the people, and several companies will jointly form a football league to lure others into gambling.”
When Gao Qiu heard Xunze's whimsical idea, his face showed no sign of surprise or admiration that such an operation could be done.
He whispered, "Teacher, this method sounds right.
However, gambling is prohibited by the imperial court.
Gambling without authorization will, depending on the seriousness of the case, be punished with a cane in the lightest way, and in the most serious case, officials will be dismissed from their posts and exiled, and those without official titles will be punished."
He might even be beheaded."
"What?"
Xunze was stunned when he heard Gao Qiu's words.
Is there any mistake?
In the Song Dynasty, everyone from the emperor to the scoundrels liked gambling, but you told me that gambling was illegal in your country and even resulted in beheading.
Are you making trouble?
"Wait a minute, I'll check the information."
Xunze told Gao Qiu to sit down first, then he walked aside, opened his laptop and started to check the information about illegal gambling in the Song Dynasty.
As the saying goes, small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can harm your health.
Once gambling becomes popular and there are no relevant laws to restrict it, it can easily cause social problems.
Because gambling was a serious trend during the Song and Yuan dynasties, historical materials record many imaginings of corruption, corruption and lawlessness, disrupting society, and killing people and stealing goods due to gambling.
For example, the biography of Wang Anshi in the history of the Song Dynasty records: "A young man got a chance to fight a quail, but his peers refused to give it to him and relied on their friendship to keep him away.
The young man chased him and killed him."
Yan Yiyi's record contains: "There are evil and scoundrel people in the world, who are ruthless and unyielding.
Small things include gambling, big things include slaughtering cattle and horses and selling copper coins.
They are not scrupulous about public conduct.
If they lose money without repaying it, they are cheating.
If the party There are many categories, including robbery, arson, rape, and murder.”
There are countless murder cases caused by gambling in the Qingming Collection of Song Minggong's Book of Punishment.
Court officials are not fools.
Although they themselves gamble, they can also see the harm that gambling brings to society.
Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, laws and regulations related to gambling were formulated: Those who play with property can each have a hundred sticks, and those who have stolen a lot of stolen goods have their own divisions, and they are considered robbers.
The master who stops and the one who comes out of the nine harmony are all the same.
In other words, in the early days of the Song Dynasty, once someone was caught gambling, he was directly sentenced to the crime of theft.
But even so, because the upper class did not stop their gambling behavior, the people still followed the example, and the gambling trend became more and more popular.
So during the Taizong period of the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent people from organizing large-scale gambling, an edict was issued directly: "Anyone who gambles in the capital will be arrested by Kaifeng Prefecture, and the offender will be killed."
Of course, these legal provisions are not just words.
During the Taizong period of the Song Dynasty, there were detailed records.
A group of idle scoundrels were directly executed for opening a casino.
And whoever dares to inform these people is also guilty of them.
In addition to beheading civilians, there were also quite severe penalties for literati who engaged in gambling.

For example, in the third month of the third month of the fifth year of Xiangfu's reign in Dazhong of the Song Dynasty, Dingyou said, "The person who conferred the title said that the Jinshi Xiao Lizhi, whose real name was Liu, tried to escape the punishment of a stick for gambling.
Now he changed his name and went to be promoted to the imperial examination.
The imperial edict was issued to ask Li to question him.
He was ordered to lead him to ambush.
Seize the order, redeem forty pounds of copper, and send him back."
In other words, if you have violated the law due to gambling, even if you obtain the meritorious service, it will be revoked on the spot and you will be asked to go back and forth from where you came.
This is really magical.
On one side are the emperor's people who are addicted to gambling, and on the other side is the law that will be beheaded if you open a casino at will.
How did the people of the Song Dynasty survive in such a magical society:
