Chapter 64 The Referee
"Thank you for your hard work."
The student team from Tsinghua University shouted neatly when passing by the viewing platform.
"Thank you, classmates."
Liu Qi felt that Yun Xiao’s form was very good, and now he felt very interacting with the students.
"So loyal to His Majesty."
Yun Xiao changed "serving the people" very much in accordance with the local customs. The word democracy is not used in the Han Dynasty. No matter who wants democracy, Liu Qi will revolutionize his life first.
"Look, what is coming to us now is the representative team of Lanxiang Technical School. They are wearing blue work clothes, representing the spiritual outlook of the people of the great man. They just started studying today, and tomorrow they will be the technical workers of my great man..."
Liu Qi looked suspiciously at the children walking past the viewing table. The coarse blue clothes looked strong, dark faces and strong bodies. Although they all looked less than ten years old, they looked very energetic.
Compared to the Tsinghua team just now, this team has a slightly honest and simple style. I heard that Yun Xiao set up a school to train craftsmen in Yunjiazhuang. Many people in the court laughed at Yun Xiao for being a husband and thought of being crazy. Not only did they teach the children of these farmers for free, but they also provided food and accommodation and paid money every month. The name is subsidy.
Not only has the Han Dynasty been established for more than a century, but I have never heard of it even after reading all the classics of the ancient Xia, Shang, Spring, Autumn and Warring States Period. In their eyes, when is the lowly craftsmen worthy of having a school? The news that the marquis of the Yun family punished hysteria has become noisy again.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty." The voice was equally tender.
"Thank you for your hard work, classmates." Liu Qi was a little excited and had no interest in inspecting a group of craftsmen.
“Serve Your Majesty.”
The children seemed to see Liu Qi's scattering. The tender childlike innocence seemed to be pricked by awls, and the shouting sound became even louder. They were showing their existence in this way.
The simple review ended like this. Liu Qi did not expect that the two teams he met would be two teams that influenced the Han Dynasty and for generations. Several years later, these two teams supported the sky of the Han Dynasty.
After the two teams walked around in front of Liu Qi, they reached the middle of the racecourse.
Liu Duan's drum beat began to beat rhythmically, and the children evacuated according to the drum beat. The two children walked out of the platoon and bowed to Liu Qi. Liu Qi was not sure, so he hurriedly shouted "Don't give up".
The older one is Liu Sheng, who represents Tsinghua University, and the younger one is Geng Feng, who represents Lanxiang Technical School.
After shouting, the two children began to move, stretched their waists and kicked their legs, stretched their arms and legs. The children behind them also moved.
Liu Qi looked at the smoky children. Although his movements looked uniform and pleasing to the eye, his movements were too weird. He immediately waved his hand to ask Yun Xiao for a clear question.
"What's going on?"
"Go back to Your Majesty. This is a body-building technique. Doing it in the morning can stretch your muscles and bones, which is very beneficial to your health, and it can also promote bone development and make the children grow taller." Yun Xiao had no way to explain to Liu Qi what the eighth set of radio gymnastics is. He could only explain it vaguely. Anyway, let him know that this is a body-exercise.
"Oh, there is also such a method. Why don't you offer it to me soon?"
Liu Qi finally started to rob it shamelessly. This is why Yun Xiao arranged lunch in the canteen instead of the Yun family. Yun Xiao had many good things, so he was not afraid of stealing but was afraid of thinking about it. Especially cadres of Liu Qi at the level were concerned about it.
"Your Majesty, these methods are used by children. Once the muscles and bones grow, they are of little use."
"Oh, so that's it."
Liu Qi nodded with some insight, watching the children performing group gymnastics with drum beats with their beards. He also praised his son, thinking that Liu Sheng was much better than the boy from Lanxiang Technical School.
With the end of the drum beat, the two teams of children stopped moving. They started to leave the field at both ends of the venue, and all the gimmicks were completed.
The competition officially begins.
Many competitions were held at the same time, and Liu Qi was a little dazzled.
The two children were running around the field. Halfway through the run, they handed the stick in their hands to another companion. The companion continued to run, looked back at Yun Xiao, and pointed at him and waited for explanation.
"Your Majesty, this sport is called relay. After the children run a lap, they hand over the stick in their hands to their companions. This is a success in relay. If they relay four times, whoever runs the entire journey first will win."
Liu Qi nodded as if he had some insight. After seeing a few children jumped hard after running, he jumped into a sand pit. He felt the fresh fingers immediately moved over.
"Your Majesty, this event is called long jump. The comparison is about who jumps farther, and it tests the children's ability to jump. The competition is divided into two types. One is called standing long jump, which means that the children jump on the spot to see who jump farther. The other is about running assists, which is also about who jumps farther."
"That's a high jump, who's jumping higher. That's a shot put, who's throwing farther. Oh, that's a sprint, who's running faster. That's..."
Yun Xiao introduced them one by one until he saw Liu Xiaozhu appearing in the competition team. Liu Qi stood up and walked to the center of the venue with great enthusiasm.
The children were frightened silly, and the shot put almost hit the foot. The one who jumped long fell directly into the sand pit. The one who jumped high jumped even more miserably out of the range of the pad, fell a dog to bite and lost two teeth. The classmate next to him hurriedly sent him to Zi Feng's temporary medical aid center.
Yun Xiao was very helpless. He couldn't say that he was the main place of the competition, so the emperor was not allowed to enter.
Liu Xiaozhu's left leg was tied to Wei Qing's right leg, and their opponent was a combination of Geng Feng and Tu Hai.
"How is this playing?"
Liu Qi looked at his son's strange appearance and turned around and asked Yun Xiao.
"Your Majesty, this game tests the ability of two people to cooperate and coordinate. If you tie one of the legs of the two, you need to support each other to reach the finish line. The winner of the competition is the first one."
Yun Xiao accompanied Liu Qi to Liu Xiaozhu while introducing him.
"No gifts, no gifts." Liu Qi stopped the children from showing off. He walked to Liu Xiaozhu and said, "Try to win, if you win, I will definitely have a great prize."
Liu Qi, who was the emperor, showed his father's love in his eyes. He patted Liu Xiaozhu's head, then took the red flag and walked to the edge of the starting line. He wanted to announce the start of the competition himself.
It's strange that no matter ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, as long as the father pats the child's head, the child will usually smile foolishly and then raise his face to look at his father. Yun Xiao has seen such a scene in Beijing, London, New York, and Paris. Now he has also seen it once in Chang'an, and Yun Xiao is puzzled by this reason.
Liu Xiaozhu nodded firmly and said to Wei Qing beside him: "Come on!"
The two firm little hands were tightly held together, but Geng Fengyun Tuhai next to him was a little nervous. Liu Qi's power was extraordinary. Although he was a child, they were also afraid of the emperor's authority.
As Liu Qihongqi swung, the four children rushed to the finish line thirty meters away. One hundred meters was a distance set by Yun Xiao. He wanted to test the endurance and ability of collaborative cooperation among these children.
Liu Qi watched his son and Wei Qing run all the way excitedly. Geng Feng and Tu Hai were obviously influenced by Liu Qi. Their actions were a little stiff, and they were pulled down by Liu Xiaozhu and Wei Qing in the initial stage.
The children of Lanxiang Technical School stood up to cheer them up. The encouragement of the students inspired the enthusiasm of the two people and also eliminated the huge sense of oppression brought by Liu Qi. Children are children, and they should have the spirit of indomitable progress.
Geng Feng and Tu Hai cooperated tacitly and ran quickly. They soon caught up with Liu Xiaozhu and Wei Qing, and surpassed the past with Lan Xiang's cheers.
The children of Tsinghua University roared like crazy, and Liu Qi's appearance made Bisai the focus of attention here the entire venue. Wei Ya was clenching her fists, and she was nervous and drank without the gentleness of the past.
Liu Xiaozhu and Wei Qing held back, and after a tight pursuit, they caught up with Geng Feng and Tuhai. The four children led alternately. When the finish line was about to reach the end, Liu Xiaozhu and Wei Qing hugged their shoulders together. They jumped with their legs and jumped to the end.
Tuhai and Geng Feng are behind due to a little gap.
"You guys play hard, you obviously said you were running away, but you jumped."
Tuhai was very disgusted with Liu Xiaozhu and Wei Qing's behavior, and determined that they were illegal and needed to be disqualified from the competition.
"The rule does not say that you can't jump, but that the one who reaches the finish line first wins."
Wei Qing retorted loudly. Two groups of children surrounded him, chattering and making noises. The irritable person was already in a position to take action.
Yan Ruxin, who was in charge of the referee, was quarreled by the two groups of children. When Yun Xiao accompanied Liu Qi, he immediately received a general amnesty and pointed at Yun Xiao and said, "Where is Yun Hou, the rules are made by him. You go to him to argue, don't bother me anymore."
A group of children immediately ran to surround Yun Xiao and chattered about what happened just now, asking Yun Xiao to give a fair judgment.
This judgment is difficult to make. If a bad one is used, it will lead to a conflict between children of two classes. Yun Xiao understands that children from the grassroots Lanxiang Technical School are eager for fairness. Once they think they are treated unfairly, their enthusiasm for learning will be seriously weakened.
The children of Tsinghua have innate superiority, and they have the pride of nobles in their bones. On weekdays, they are sent to slaves and servants, and are served by the great masters. They should have believed that all the resources in this world should belong to them.
As class conflicts were about to break out, Yun Xiao suddenly remembered Liu Qi behind him. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, his words were the imperial edict, no one dared to refute. The sacred imperial power was in his hands, and the decisions he made were right, no matter whether it was right or wrong.
