In the yamen room of the Ministry of War, the Minister of War Nie Qian looked at Tang Ning with surprise and shock.
It wasn't seen with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that the sixteen imperial guards, together, were not Tang Ning's opponents.
There are so many halos on him, the top scorer of the three-yuan, the six-department walking, the nemesis of the assistant minister...
But no matter which one is, it is not out of the scope of scholars. The impression given by scholars is nothing more than the kind of Doctor Wu, who is powerless and timid, and tries to reason with others first when encountering things...
This is the first time Nie Qian has met a scholar who uses his fists to reason.
Although he doesn't seem to be weak, he is not a brave and powerful type no matter how he looks at it.
Nie Qian looked at the Sixteenth Guard Captain standing beside him, thinking that if you want these people to be quiet, your fists would be more useful.
Tang Ning sat in the seat, took a sip of tea, and said: Mr. Nie, what they said is not unreasonable. The Sixteen Guards Competition only once every four years. Your Majesty and the court attached great importance to this. This competition system is unfair and a bit hasty...
The Sixteen Guards Competition has always been a single-elimination match. The draw of lots determines the order of the game, and there is no measure to avoid encounters with strong teams. It is very unfair to some strong teams. In the end, the ranking of the knockout match after the championship is determined based on the performance of the field is too hasty.
Put yourself in your shoes and think about it. If Tang Ning was the Yulin Guard, he would have any opinions on this competition system.
The Sixteenth School Captain was shocked when he saw Tang Ning talking to them. If he had known that he could have a good talk, why would they have to be beaten first?
Nie Qian looked at Tang Ning with a difficult face and said: Lord Tang doesn't know anything. If we were to compete each of the sixteen guards, it would have to be more than a hundred games. We don't have that much time and we can't invest so much manpower and material resources.
The elimination system has the disadvantages of the elimination system, and the cycle system also has the disadvantages of the cycle system. Although the circular competition system is relatively fair, the disadvantage is that there are too many games to be held. If the sixteen guards really want to compete in two groups, they will need to compete 120 games, and the competition will not be completed by the end of next year.
Similar games can be fully applied to the rules of the game in later generations. The first round is played and the next cross-elimination can ensure fairness and reasonable matches.
Mr. Nie thought about this... Tang Ning thought for a while and looked at Nie Qian and said: You can first divide the sixteen guards into four groups: A, B, C and D. The left and right Yulin guards and the left and right Jin Yuwei guards are divided into these four groups. The four guards in the four groups of A, B, C and D. First let the four guards face off in pairs. Each game is scored, the winning is scored, one point is scored, and the abstention is scored, and the two guards with the highest scores in each group are promoted...
I have seen too many football matches, and Tangning is also very familiar with this competition system. The group stage can allow the 16 guards to organize themselves, and only the eight guards will be left in the end. The Ministry of War will organize the semi-finals, semi-finals and finals. In short, the Ministry of War will hold up to twelve games, which is less than the knockout rounds.
Before Nie Qian could finish listening to Tang Ning's description, light began to pop out in his eyes
A strong encounter has always been the thing that the sixteen guards resist the most. If the strongest left and right Yulin Guards are separated from the left and right Jinyu Guards, it will avoid the problem of letting the two strong encounters at the beginning.
This method is fair to the other twelve guards. If they are really strong, they can defeat the strong teams in the group to win. According to the ranking of the scores, it is reasonable and well-founded, and no one will be dissatisfied.
The Sixteenth School Captain was also listening. Tang Ning's speech was easy to understand, and they all understood it.
The more people listened, the more angry they became. The Ministry of War had such a good idea. Why didn’t they take it out earlier? If they took it out earlier, wouldn’t they have to be beaten?
In this way, the Ministry of War only needs to organize twelve competitions to determine the ranking of the eight guards, and the remaining eight guards are ranked according to their points... After Tang Ning finished speaking, he looked at Nie Qian and asked: What do you think of this method?
This method is very wonderful... Nie Qian looked at him and said: However, this matter must be settled after Lord Shangshu returns.
Tang Ning just made a random suggestion, and whether or not it has nothing to do with him
He put down the teacup, looked at the dozen lieutenants who were still in the room, and asked: Do you want to stay for a cup of tea, or take a break and then compete?
No, no...
We still have something important to do, say goodbye!
Say goodbye...
……
Everyone had no shame to stay any longer and couldn't wait to leave the room. Tang Ning looked at the room that had suddenly become brighter, and even felt much better.
Lao Zheng leaned against the door and asked: Do you think the captain in the army is just like this?
Tang Ning cannot deny that these lieutenants still have great shortcomings in their personal strength. In the eyes of those who have learned martial arts a little, they are just reckless men with a few strength.
Old Zheng said lightly: The generals in the army have never been charged. If those people take out one of them and give them ten commands, you will be no match.
Tang Ning looked at him and asked: Why do you understand these things so well?
Old Zheng said calmly: I have killed pigs in the army before, and have seen some formations
Killing pigs can be ranked first in the world. It is really 360 professions, and every profession is the top scorer. Lao Zheng should be a rare genius in the pig-killing world in a century.
When Tang Ning was waiting for the Ministry of War to release the yamen, the Minister of War Lu Ding returned to the yamen with a tired look on his face.
Just now, several generals of the Sixteen Guards expressed dissatisfaction with the competition arranged by the Ministry of War. Even His Majesty was persuaded by them and ordered him to improve the competition system. The competition system of the Sixteen Guards has been extended for more than ten years. Now the competition period is only two months away. How can I change it?
While he was hesitating about this in the room, Nie Qian walked in from outside the door
Sir, about the Sixteen Guards Competition...
Lu Ding waved his hand and said: Don’t mention this matter for now. I feel a headache when I hear the three words "Sixteen Guards"...
Nie Qian was stunned for a moment and said: Lord Tang just put forward some ideas for the Sixteen Guards Competition
Hearing Tang Ning's name, Lu Ding was slightly excited and said: Let's listen
After all, as the top scorer of the three-yuan prize, few people in Chen Guo are smarter than him, so he still needs to listen to his ideas.
Nie Qian said: Lord Tang meant to divide the sixteen guards into four groups according to their strength...
He briefly repeated what Tang Ning said just now and finally said: In this way, it saved a lot of trouble for the Ministry of War. The Sixteen Guards each won by their strength, and there would be no objection...
After Nie Qian finished speaking, Lu Ding probably understood, stood up, and exclaimed: How did this boy Tang have a head? This method is great. Everyone depends on their strength. If they lose, they can't blame others. So use this method to block their mouths!
He looked at Nie Qian and said: Go and find him. Since this method was proposed by him, why not leave it to him?
Nie Qian returned to the Ministry of War. Seeing that there was only one Doctor Wu in the room, he looked around and asked: Where is Lord Tang?
Doctor Wu raised his head and said: When the gong sounded, Lord Tang left.
……
Tang Ning has always maintained the good habit of going to work on time and getting off work on time. I have to say that Chen Guo’s civil servant benefits are quite good. Although he needs to get up early in the morning, he can go home at 3:00 in the afternoon, and he still has plenty of time to pay for his free time.
When he got home, he found that Zhao Yuan was coming again. Before the peach blossom disaster was eliminated, he had already regarded the Tang family as his refuge.
Those little girls were really hard to understand. He sat beside Tang Ning, complained to him, and sighed: Why can't they get along well with each other?
He seemed to remember something, suddenly looked at Tang Ning and asked: Sir, how did you let the two master's wives get along with those beautiful sisters?
Tang Ning was stunned and asked: What beautiful lady?
Zhao Yuan's eyes looked forward, and Tang Yaoyao flew over from the other side of the wall
Their business is now on track. Tangrenzhai is no longer the name of the largest bookstore in the capital, but a brand. Under this brand, it also involves many industries.
The career has entered a formal state and will naturally enter a stage of stable development, and the growth rate has slowed down compared to before. Tang Yaoyao is not satisfied with this and thinks it is her problem. She is very distressed recently
Tang Ning looked at her and comforted: This is a normal thing. For many stores, the market in Jingshi has reached saturation. If you want to make a breakthrough, you will find a new business opportunity.
The absent-minded Zhao Yuan suddenly raised his head and asked: What kind of chicken?
It wasn't seen with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that the sixteen imperial guards, together, were not Tang Ning's opponents.
There are so many halos on him, the top scorer of the three-yuan, the six-department walking, the nemesis of the assistant minister...
