"Ji Shou, do you think this idea will work?"
Kang Shi nodded. "Of course it will."
Though the idea had only just occurred to their lord, it was indeed feasible. Whether they held a market, a lantern festival, or the "sports meet" their lord had mentioned, the essence was the same: to liven up the atmosphere and boost the local economy.
Their lord's idea was novel and had all those elements, so they could certainly adopt it. They could gather everyone involved and discuss the other details later.

Thinking of this, Kang Shi couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Then what games do you think would be fun to play and watch?" Shen Tang really didn't know much about the recreational sports of this world. She murmured to herself, "There has to be fierce competition, and ideally, the spectators won't be able to guess the winner until the very end! Oh, and most importantly, no martial or literary energy. Just physical strength..."
Otherwise, the outcome wouldn't be in doubt at all, and they could easily cause widespread destruction, lose control of the situation, and injure spectators.
Kang Shi thought for a moment. "Things like pitch-pot, archery, polo, cuju, backgammon, liubo, guessing what's hidden, tossing coins, and fighting over herbs?"
Shen Tang: "..."
Well, who knew Kang Shi knew how to have fun?
It was just that many of the games he'd mentioned were favorites of scholars and young scions of noble families. Put plainly, they weren't grounded in everyday life!
To commoners who didn't know the rules, they weren't much to watch. What Shen Tang wanted was competition, collisions, and clashes—a blood-pumping spectacle that made the commoners below want to shout and roar, or even grab a brick and jump
