Late Tang

Chapter 55

Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang saw Li Jing galloping wildly and colliding with each other. The surrounding soldiers and soldiers screamed in unison, supporting and cheering for their respective supporters.Seeing Li Jing hit Feng Liang's white horse with a spear and fell, and Feng Liang fell off the horse in embarrassment, Yu Youniang covered her eyes like a frightened little girl.However, Li Huier thinks that she is very courageous. She has also seen many martial arts competitions, and she feels that being a golden branch and jade leaf should show the demeanor of the royal family and always maintain a calm demeanor.

'Yong Saburo' Li Jing had a brilliant record, defeating the invincible Feng Liang in just one round. This result attracted countless people in the field to shout and cheer.Feng Liang usually relied on his status as Chang Shi's nephew and a direct descendant of the Bohai Feng family, so he was used to being arrogant and domineering in Penglai City.The people in the city usually dare not speak out when they are angry, but seeing him being beaten so embarrassingly by Li Jing at this time, they were all excited and cheered for him.

Feng Liang asked to fight again, causing boos from the surrounding soldiers!

In the crowd, Li Huier booed much louder than many people beside her.Yu Youniang had no choice but to reach out and cover her mouth to calm her down.Yu Youniang looked at Li Huier, and looked at Li Jing, who was on Celi's horse, looking down at Feng Liang, as if she was possessed by a demon.This is the first time she has seen this kind of blood-filled riding battle, it is so flying and passionate, the brother who was once ridiculed by her as an idiot, is so cold and flying on the horse, only one round Just sweep the opponent off the horse.She felt that she should shout and cheer for Li Jing like Li Huier, but her chest heaved violently, her heart was beating violently, but she couldn't release the enthusiasm in her heart.

A few soldiers from Zuo Yidu walked to the field, carefully inspected Feng Liang's blood-stained horse, and shook their heads at Feng Liang. This horse was blinded in one eye by Li Jing, and fell down again. The forelegs have been scrapped.Feng Liang didn't pay attention to his beloved horse, he was like a lunatic whose thoughts were occupied by anger, fixed his eyes on Li Jing, and yelled for another fair duel with Li Jing.

"This match can't be counted. I can give you this horse lance, but you have to fight me again, a real fight!"

Li Jing smiled lightly and ignored Feng Liang, this fight was originally an accident.The reason why he agreed was just to dampen Feng Liang's previous arrogance.Now that he defeated Feng Liang and won a handful of Ma Qian, why should he compete with Feng Liang again?For Feng Liang, a dude, to stimulate him a little bit, to dampen his spirit, in order to let him understand that he is not a person who is rebellious, in order to show his posture and strength.But there is a limit to everything, and exceeding this limit is not a good thing.

"Feng Wulang, it's just a fight, why worry so much? Could it be that Feng Wulang can't afford to lose even a fight, or is it that you don't want to part with this horse? If so, I can return the horse to you. Just pretend it never happened." Li Jing pretended to return Ma Qiang to Feng Liang.

"It's just a handful of horses. Although it's still worth some money, I don't care about it at all. If you are willing to compete with me again, I'm willing to take out another handful of horses, no, two more horses Compete with you. If you can be upright, and instead of cheating me like just now, then the two horses will be yours." Seeing that Li Jing refused to agree, Feng Liang quickly proposed a more tempting condition . "Of course, if you are afraid of losing, I can promise you that even if you lose, the horse will still belong to you, and I will not take it back. If you are a man, let me fight again."

Hearing that Feng Liang was willing to take out two more horses to gamble, Li Jing was a little surprised but not moved.Winning Feng Liang once already made him a little hysterical, if he wins him again, then he won't be crazy yet.Although the two horses are valuable, they are not worth it to really turn against Feng Liang right now because of this.

Li Jing didn't put the two horses in his eyes, but when the others heard this, they were amazed and shouted.Even if it is two ordinary horse spears, they are worth a hundred gold. The money of seven or eight hundred guan is already equivalent to the property of a small landlord and rich man in the countryside.

"New Book of Tang Shihuo Zhi" contains: The Tang Dynasty's regulation on mediocrity is "Those who do not serve are three feet of silk every day." "Tong Dian" also said: "All craftsmen who do not serve will be mediocre. In a town without silk, the cloth is three feet seven inches and five cents." , using money as a substitute for work, and one person receives three feet of silk a day.Three feet of silk a day is basically the wages that people in the Tang Dynasty could earn in a day.

How much is three feet of silk?A piece of silk is forty feet, worth 800 yuan.In terms of conversion, one foot of silk is worth money, and three feet of silk is 60 yuan.It can be said that the standard wage for ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty was 60 Wen for a day, 1800 Wen for a month, and 21600 Wen for a year.In fact, this is just a calculation. In fact, it is impossible for ordinary people to earn 60 Wen a day.

Doumi costs 2 renminbi for a family of five. Even if the family only eats 40 liters of rice a day, it will cost 60 renminbi. If you need to buy some salt, let’s say Yihe. According to "New Book of Tang Shihuo Zhi": "Xiantong year, salt is a hundred dollars per bucket." Another money, if you add two taxes, clothes, shoes and other expenses, if the family has no other labor income, even [-] yuan a day can barely make ends meet.

80 yuan, it takes an ordinary person to work for 330 three days without eating or drinking to earn it.This is a huge sum of money, and hearing it can make people's hearts move.

Not only the ordinary onlookers were moved, but even Lin Wei, the referee coach, was moved.Lin Weineng was able to win the lance with his bare hands, naturally because he was also a master of lance.As a master of horse lance, Lin Wei, who used to be an officer of the Shence Army, also had a lance, but after offending his boss and having an accident, he sold his family property, and even finally sold his and Lin Wu's horse and lance , and finally ended the matter and came to Dengzhou.It is a very helpless thing for the Lin Wei brothers to have a master horse lance without a horse lance.

Now, with two horses in front of him, how could he not be moved.He wanted to go up to fight, but he also knew that Feng Liang would definitely not fight him.He took Feng Liang's spear empty-handed before, but as long as Feng Liang had a bit of brains, he would know that he couldn't beat Lin Wei.

He looked at Li Jing, and finally couldn't help but walked to Li Jing's side and said softly: "Sanlang, these are two spears, how about you fight him again?"

Li Jing looked at Lin Wei, and saw that his eyes had been staring fieryly at the horse spear in his hand, so he understood a little bit.He didn't want to fight Feng Liang, because he didn't want to tear himself apart with the Feng family.But now that Lin Wei made the exit, he was unwilling to refuse directly.Both brothers Lin Wei have real skills, and their relationship is pretty good now.Li Jing has been trying to win over the two brothers. If he can exchange two horses for the two brothers' closeness, it is really hard to tell whether the deal will be a profit or a loss.

Li Jing was hesitating, but suddenly saw Princess Xihe and Junior Sister Yu walking over.

"Feng Wulang is so heroic, he has two horses when he makes a move. We can't help but want to mix in such a lively scene. I have an idea, since the martial arts competition just now was so exciting, why not have another one. Today I will open a handicap to help everyone have fun. Li Sanlang vs. Feng Wulang, Li Sanlang pays [-] to [-], Feng Wulang pays [-] to [-], anyone who is interested can place a bet, and I will take all orders." Li Huier It seemed a little afraid that the scene would not be lively enough, and the fanatics actually opened the handicap in public, wanting to gamble on the bank.It's just that the odds are surprising.Li Jing pays one for thirty, but Feng Liang pays thirty for one.Everyone knows Li Jing's performance just now, and the winning rate is very high, but if you buy Li Jing to win, you only get [-] in [-].Feng Liang was obviously at a disadvantage, but the odds were as high as [-] to [-].

The opening of the handicap and odds caused the hundreds of onlookers to become even more enthusiastic.One pays thirty, betting Feng Liang a string of money, if he wins, it will be three thousand cash.

Immediately, countless people came to place bets, most of them were aiming at Feng Liang's good odds.On Li Jing's side, there were not many people placing bets.Li Huier didn't expect it to be so enthusiastic, so she and Yu Youniang greeted the entourage and the coachman to go out and sit in the dealership together.

The lively scene over there made Li Jing a little dumbfounded.Before he promised to fight Feng Liang again, the princess and the others had already started a bet.But Feng Liang was even more angry, his face turned black.Thirty for one loss, this is simply slapping him in the face.It's just that he also knows the origins of Princess Xihe and Yu Youniang.He didn't want to mess with these two people, so he could only hold his breath in his heart.

Seeing only Xiao Shitou betting on him to win, Li Jing smiled and said, "Bet on me, 150 taels of silver collar!"

Holding a pen to register, the busy Li Huier immediately registered with a smile: "Li Sanlang bet on himself to win, 150 taels, [-] pays one."

Thirty to one, even if Li Jing wins, the 150 taels of silver can only win five taels.Although the odds are a bit cheating, but since being coaxed by this group of people, Li Jing simply gave it up.He bet himself 150 taels, but he also knew that since he couldn't have both, he didn't have to worry about Feng Liang at all.With so much money to bet on himself, he was confident that Feng Liang would be irritated and would definitely bet on himself.What he wants is this effect, this time he must make Feng Liang bleed once, to let him know that the sky is high and the earth is strong.Although the Feng family is strong, Li Jing also has a strong backer.Blindly forbearing is not Li Jing's style, and he will never be soft when it is time to make a move.

Sure enough, Feng Liang saw that Li Jing took out 150 taels of silver to bet on himself.His face became more gloomy, and he stared at Li Jing fiercely, his lips trembling slightly.Finally, he strode up to Li Huier and said in a deep voice, "I bet myself, [-] bolts of silk!"
