Civilization spreads to another world

In mid-April, when the weather was sunny and warm, the first Cycling Tour of the Principality officially kicked off.

The event was jointly organized by two divine envoys, the Holy See and the royal family. The six duchies of Mijin Kingdom participated in the registration. Including the royal city, a total of seven competition areas were set up.

The competition firstly conducts a selection match in each competition area, selects the No.1 in the area, and then gathers in Chang'an Town to participate in the final.

No one objected to this, after all, everything from proposal to planning came from the two envoys.

The reason why the finals are held in Chang'an Town is also very simple. Shi Yu and Huo Ci want to further stimulate the tourism industry in Chang'an Town.

As the college expands its enrollment one after another, more and more civilian parents have followed their children to visit Chang'an Town. The appearance of Chang'an Town is gradually showing in front of ordinary people. It is time to consider introducing civilian tourists.

Aristocratic tourists do have money, but the number of nobles is limited, and the number of nobles who can be allowed to come to Chang'an Town is even more limited.

Chang'an Town is so big, the scenery will always be boring once or twice, and the festival activities will lose their freshness after seeing them one by one. With the back and forth, the nobles who enjoy the most will spend the initial curiosity and freshness. , the rate of return declined linearly.

Even if modern transportation is developed, people will not always choose the same city as their travel destination.

Relying on unlocking new landmark buildings can indeed bring back some traffic, but it is not a long-term solution, and the landmark buildings will always be unlocked one day, and not every landmark building can attract the interest of nobles.

If the tourism industry in Chang'an Town is to last for a long time, it still depends on a larger number of free people.

Even though the nobles spend a lot of money, but the ants kill the elephants, and the accumulation of a little makes a lot. No matter in terms of income or future development, it is imperative to introduce ordinary tourists.

But you can't rush for success, you have to take it step by step.

After all, the quality of civilians is uneven, and there will definitely be some troubles when a large number of people come in, and the town must have a period of adaptation.

Of course, it's not all trouble. In fact, commoners are far more obedient than nobles, and they are more willing to abide by the rules.

This group of aristocratic tourists also caused troubles, especially those young N-generations who kept probing on the verge of breaking the rules. If it weren't for Shi Yu and Huo Ci's identities as envoys, these "little princes" in their own manor "Little Emperor" doesn't know what farce will come up.

This time the bicycle race is a signal, and it is also a test for Chang'an Town. If even the event tourists cannot be coordinated and accommodated, the opening of the event will have to be postponed.

Due to the different conditions of road construction in each principality, two principalities only started to build roads after learning about the competition, and this repair would take more than half a month.

Shi Yu and Huo Cile took advantage of the benevolence of the envoys, and set the time for the regional competition in early May.

Originally, the purpose of holding the competition was to urge the major princes to build roads. The scope of the competition was set to surround the principality because they hoped to build the roads connecting the countries first. As long as they were willing to build, let alone wait for half a month, half a year would do.

When the Grand Duke of a country spoke, the labor force of the entire territory was mobilized, nearly a million slaves joined the battle, and soon a main road running through the Principality was built.

During this period, Chang'an Town also held a small selection contest to select a team as a representative to compete for the place of the Blue Neck Principality.

The Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly coordinated with other departments that needed to use it, and quickly set up the competition according to the competition process issued by Shi Yu.

This set of procedures is not only available in Chang'an Town, but also distributed to all participating regions.

Including the complete competition method, regulations, rewards, etc. If it is going to be done, it must be formalized and done well.

As soon as the news was posted, Chang'an Town suddenly became lively.

"Everyone in the selected team will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins, my God, if they can get a place, one thousand gold coins, hiss—"

"What is this? If you finish in the top three in the final, you can get a medal personally awarded by God Envoy!"

"There are [-] gold coins!"

"I want to sign up, I want to sign up!"

"Why is it only allowed when you are full? Can't you be 17 years old?"

"Yeah yeah, I'm due in two more months."

"Look, brother, the guards and officers can't sign up, that's great, if the guards don't participate, you will definitely win!"

"Huh? Riding to Hongxiang City? Isn't it to the capital?"

"Yeah, I thought I was going to ride to the capital."

……

There was a lot of discussion.

A special officer in charge moved tables and chairs to explain to everyone at the temporary requisition registration office.

"Yes, [-] gold coins will be awarded for the place in the regional competition. If you can win the final championship, you will receive [-] gold coins jointly awarded by the envoy Holy See and the king, as well as the right of residence and a house in Wangcheng or Chang'an Town."

"We already have the right of residence. If you win the championship, you can upgrade your house and reward you with a lakeside villa. Of course, if anyone wants to move to Wangcheng, you can..."

"...Yes, you must be full. You can sign up when you are an adult. You can apply to join the cheerleading team if you are a minor. Cheer for our competitors. Students in the academy, please go to your student union. Non-students who are minors can go to the district committee to sign up... "

"That's right, the guards will not participate, and neither will the knight soldiers of the Principality. This is a competition that belongs entirely to free people."

"The trials run from the city gate of Hongxiang City to the gate of our Chang'an Town. This is also the track for the finals. Due to time constraints and in order to protect the health of the contestants, God Envoy finally decided to shorten the final track and set it as starting from Hongxiang City. From the city to our Chang’an Town, it’s just a day’s cycling distance.”

……

The so-called Ring Principality is just an excuse used by Shi Yu and Huo Ci to fool the nobles to build roads. It is impossible to really ring the Principality. If it is true, it will take ten and a half months to end.

It doesn't matter if you compete in the region, as long as the Grand Dukes don't find it troublesome, you can go around the whole country, not to mention the Duchy.

But when it comes to the finals, it's best to decide the winner in one day.

It is just right to go from Chang'an Town to Hongxiang City. It used to take two to three days to get to Hongxiang City. Now that the road has been repaired and there are bicycles, one day is enough.

The finish line was in Chang'an Town, which coincided with the awards and congratulations. Shi Yu had already asked the Propaganda Department to start planning the celebration party.

Of course, the shortening of the track was put on the desks of the princes when the road repairs in the principalities were about the same. It was not too early or too late, just before the start of the regional competition.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci are already familiar with this kind of thing that takes advantage of communication difficulties to take advantage of the time difference.

Regardless of the competition situation in each territory, Chang'an Town is very hot.

On the day the news was released, countless people came to sign up.

Mostly young people.

Everyone is confident in getting the principality quota.

As residents of Chang'an Town, they got their hands on bicycles before the outsiders, not only know how to ride, but also play tricks.

Even the champion can think about it, after all, he has home court advantage.

Young people who failed to sign up or were screened out in the primary election formed a cheerleading team to cheer for the promising players. It was very lively.

Shi Yu looked at the cardboard hands held up by the girls, feeling vaguely familiar.

Wait, isn't this what modern star chasing looks like?

I was a little dumbfounded for a while.

Those sensational and shocking stage plays did not cultivate enthusiastic star-chasing girls, but were attracted by sports competitions.

But look at those tall and handsome contestants, and you will understand.

Aristocrats tend to be delicate and elegant, but for ordinary people, a strong physique is the most attractive, exquisite and elegant can't be eaten as food, they think that they can carry rice bags and carry firewood charming.

chasing stars...

Create a star, and then rely on the power of idols to help spread...

Shi Yu was thoughtful.

The events that can hold competitions are not limited to bicycles. There are many kinds of events. If the operation is good, a large number can be produced.

But don't worry, let's finish this bicycle race first.

The internal selection competition in Chang'an Town went smoothly and lively. It took two days. On the first day, the competition office jointly formed by several departments led the players to Hongxiang City, rested for a night, and officially competed on the second day.

According to the regulations, the top five players competed, and then participated in the regional competition.

In the regional competition, the marquis is the unit. Each marquis selects five players from the territory, and then gathers together to compete for the principality place.

There is only one place.

The man chosen will represent the entire Principality in battle.

"What should I do if I lose?"

For a while, all the players came up with this idea at the same time.

Before the competition, they were just ordinary civilians. When they came to the competition, they were all young people in their 20s. They participated in the competition either for rewards or for fun. They never thought about being a representative of a country at all.

With the thought together, some people flinch and some people get excited.

And the cheerleaders off the court were more excited than them.

Almost all the people shouted, passing through several territories along the way, crowded with people watching the excitement, and even the lord himself came to watch.

"Come on, Tiger!"

"Don't be discouraged, Kyle!"

"Brother, hurry up, overtake him!"

……

Especially when we arrived at Xiangkui City, there were crowds of people on the roads on both sides, densely packed all the way to Chang'an Town.

When the finish line was approaching, shouts from both sides shook the sky, with red necks almost roaring.

No.1 successfully sprinted, and he was so excited that he couldn't believe it when he got off the car, and was immediately surrounded by friends who rushed forward.

No.2No.3, people came to the finish line one after another and were surrounded by hugs.

Everyone laughed and screamed and applauded enthusiastically.

The cohesion of this moment is amazing.

On the tower, Shi Yu and Huo Ci looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

This scene was beyond their expectations.

Although the bicycle race is also a competition, in their view, it is far less exciting than football and basketball, especially when the game has been going on for a whole day, and the audience cannot watch the whole process in its entirety. At the end, how much emotion can be mobilized.

However, it turns out that their estimates were wrong.

"The charm of competition..." Shi Yu sighed.

It's not that they haven't held activities to enrich the spiritual needs of residents. There are various festivals, various stage plays, and knowledge competitions before, and the response is not as strong as this time.

"You can be so excited in a bicycle race, but you can't pass out if you switch to football..."

Shi Yu murmured.

Huo Ci put down the binoculars: "You can have a try."

Shi Yu glanced at the cheering crowd below, and took it back: "It's time to try, as the saying goes, full of warm thoughts/sexuality/desires, so many young people are too full of energy, we need to find something for them to vent way."

Most of the slaves who were sent were young and strong, and most of those who managed to escape were also young and strong. In addition, there are more men than women, and people are creatures of desire/desire. They will never be satisfied. When food and clothing are met, there will be spiritual needs. Leave it alone and sooner or later something will happen.

Huo Ci turned to look at him, as if he wanted to say something.

Shi Yu jumped ahead and said, "I don't, I'm neither full nor warm nor thinking."

Huo Ci calmly said, "It's okay, I think."

Shi Yu: "..."
