Great Tang princess

Chapter 607

Some people may ask, why is football the number one sport in the world?
The answer is simple, because it is primitive enough.

In fact, the most primitive sport should be hunting. Since ancient times, dignitaries and dignitaries have held hunting activities from time to time, which is regarded as the most popular sport with the widest audience in this era.

But with the development of time, countries around the world have entered into civilized society, and hunting has been banned by law, and people will naturally look for new activities.

And football happened to appear at this point in time.

Intense physical confrontation; tactical configuration and detailed study; simple and easy-to-understand rules; game methods that can change the situation instantly due to various uncertain factors...

Among them, superb personal skills and ingenious collective tactics need to be combined.

A football game contains violent physical confrontation and a psychological game of mutual calculation.

Not to mention hunting... Football can even be considered the best substitute for war!
But this alone is not enough, its audience is large enough, the most critical issue is that the rules are simple and easy to understand.

Even people who don't understand football can immediately understand the core of the game-to let yourself kick the ball into the opponent's goal while preventing the opponent from kicking the ball into your own goal.

There are not too complicated rules in football. The only thing that laymen may feel a little confused is the offside problem, but even if he doesn't understand it, it won't affect his perception of a game.

Plus, it's simple enough to practice at a cost!
For basketball, at least you need a basket; for table tennis, at least you need a racket; for snooker, how can you play without a table...

But football doesn't matter, there is no goal, just draw two lines on the wall with chalk, and it is not limited by the venue and conditions.

In the Brazilian slums, there have been many football stars who couldn't afford balls or shoes, and grew up kicking cans with bare feet.

Furthermore, football has very little restrictions on people, unlike basketball, which requires sufficient height, wingspan and jumping ability; nor is it like sprinting, which requires huge instantaneous explosive power...

If you observe a football team carefully, you will find that there are tall, short, fat and thin people in it. Whether it is explosive, good accuracy, or strong enough to collide with the opponent, you can always find a position that suits you.

Imagine that on a wide green field, because of your goal, tens of thousands of spectators surrounding the audience stand up at the same time, shout your name loudly, and surround you like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

How will you feel at that moment?

Everyone fantasizes about their moment in the limelight, and in football, it's a reality.

……

All in all, Li Yuechen's idea now is that he can spend a few years or even ten years to promote football to the whole country, and then set up a national competition.

It not only enriches the entertainment life of the people, makes the society more stable, but also drives huge economic benefits, and can make the country's fiscal revenue rise to a higher level. Why not do it?

In this era, unofficial black casinos were prevalent, and many people lost their fortunes in them.

If the country develops the gaming industry and bans it, at least to a certain extent, it is a good way for the country and the people.

At this moment, although Li Yuechen was looking at the messy game in front of him, Li Yuechen's thoughts had already flown to several years or even ten years later, imitating the scene in his mind to his heart's content.

Wang Wuqiong at the side saw that she stopped talking suddenly, turned to look at Dou Lu Yuanzhong beside him, and waited quietly beside her.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuechen came back to his senses, and asked casually, "Did Qianniuwei's training drop in recent years?"

What she asked was Doulu Yuanzhong. Although he was not an officer of Qianniuwei, as a supervisor, he was very clear about everything here.

Hearing the question, he immediately replied: "Returning to Your Highness, I am not lazy, and I train strictly every day."

After hearing this, Li Yuechen nodded to express his satisfaction: "I didn't live up to my expectations, and neither did you."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness." Dou Lu Yuanzhong quickly saluted.

"It's good to play football occasionally. When I have a chance in the next year, I can let them play a match with Qingdao." Li Yuechen said.

Wang Wuqiong saluted and said: "I will not hide this from Your Highness, this subordinate also thinks so."

"Since the training is fine, it just so happens that everyone is here, let's walk with me." Li Yuechen beckoned.

Wang Wuqiong agreed, and Dou Lu Yuanzhong also saluted and said that the princess should go slowly.

The two were strolling along the path next to the playground, looking at the white snow on Mang Mountain, Li Yuechen asked with a smile, "How is it? Are you getting along well?"

Wang Wuqiong also knew that the princess specially asked her to come here to gossip, so she was mentally prepared, and smiled slightly: "This...seems to be passable..."

"If the wedding date is fixed, remember to tell me that I will give you a big gift." Li Yuechen laughed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love!"

With the words of the princess, it is a good thing for Wang Wuqiong, which means that there is absolutely no need to worry about being bullied after marrying in the future.

I have to say that this princess is really loyal enough.

The two were walking and chatting on the path beside the playground, and Li Yuechen joked from time to time. They didn't look like leaders and subordinates, but like best friends, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.

For other people, this kind of scene seems not easy to happen, but Li Yuechen has never put on airs with his servants since he was a child, so the appearance of this kind of scene is not unexpected.

……

After watching the game all afternoon, Li Yuechen got up and went back to the Princess Mansion after having dinner in the barracks at night.

After rushing all the way back to the princess mansion against the cold wind under the moonlight, as soon as they entered the house, they saw a lot of presents randomly placed everywhere in the house. Xiao He and Fu Lai were directing the eunuchs and maids to tidy up.

The two sisters, sister-in-law and Shangguan Wan'er were drinking tea and playing mahjong, looking very comfortable.

"What is this?"

Li Yuechen walked into the house, looked at a pile of large and small boxes and asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, these are gifts from many courtiers today." Fulai replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Li Yuechen frowned: "Didn't you say that you don't want to accept gifts when I'm not around?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the sage has already expected this, and told me to accept all orders."

Hearing that it was his mother who had given the order, Li Yuechen realized something, took a look at the famous post from Fulai, and it was basically sent by various important officials in the current court.

And it seems that the purpose is very simple, that is, I hope to take a photo first, take it back and put it at home.

Although the emperor also said that meritorious courtiers can take photos and put them in Lingyan Pavilion, not everyone can go to that place.

So many ministers turned their attention to Princess Taiping.

Even if you can't enter the Lingyan Pavilion, if you can take photos and pass them down to future generations, so that future generations can know what your ancestor looks like, it would be a good thing.

So the ministers who couldn't bear it all sent a lot of gifts to the princess mansion, just to be able to take a photo in advance.

Throwing the name post to Fulai, Li Yuechen went to a few boxes and opened it to have a look, good guy, these people's handwriting is really not small.

There were things like deer antler and ganoderma, and there was even a ginseng among them, which was only about fifteen centimeters long, but dozens of tentacles were as long as one of Li Yuechen's legs.

Although the cost of photos is relatively high now, is this gift too expensive?

In fact, it is not counted, because for people in this era, photos are also a luxury, and it is worth spending a relatively large price for it.

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen nodded slightly and asked Fulai to put it away.

As a gift, since you are willing to give it, then I will accept it reluctantly, anyway, it is just a photo, at worst it will be a little troublesome these days.

In fact, this is Li Yuechen's bottom line performance. If she really doesn't want to be a human being, she can rely on her status as a princess to collect money and do nothing. Others can't say anything.

Even if your teeth itch with hatred in your heart, you still have to obediently give gifts.

But doing that is not good for the country's morals, so Li Yuechen rarely accepts gifts on weekdays, and he is unwilling to take the lead in doing such things.

The most important thing is that now that Li Yuechen is promoting the education of the royal family, he just doesn't want this kind of person to appear in the royal family. Don't be like his uncle, King Teng, a scum of the royal family.

Teng Wang Li Yuanying, although he was Gaozu's son, was actually born in the same year as his father Li Zhi.

Li Yuanying was a dude by nature, and he was a well-known street sneaker. His biggest hobby was to wear a slingshot on his body, and hit people with the slingshot when he went to the street to see who didn't like it.

When my father was in power, he disliked this uncle of the same age very much. One year, he wrote to him specifically: I am a close relative of the king, and I can't bear to be punished by the law.

Translated into vernacular is: Your KPI in recent years is completely unqualified!But considering that you are my close relatives, dear relatives and friends, I can't bear to use the law to deal with you, so I give you the second-to-last evaluation this year, I hope you can feel a little guilty in your heart.

Relying on his status as a royal family, this King Teng was greedy for money, lustful, bullying men and women, and even robbed his subordinates' wives by force.

Li Yuechen doesn't want this kind of person to appear in the royal family in the future, so he usually leads by example, basically does not accept gifts, and sets himself as an example.

The power of role models is very effective. At least in these years, there have not been any playboys among the younger generation of royal children.

This point made Li Yuechen feel more gratified.

……

Now that the gift was accepted, things had to be done. From the next day, Li Yuechen sent people to the princess mansion one by one according to the list of gifts to take pictures.

At the same time, I also told them that if they want to, they can bring their wives to take pictures together. Sometimes family portraits are more meaningful than taking care of them alone.

Li Yuechen is a person with relatively professional ethics. Since he accepted the gift from others, it is natural that things should be done beautifully.

After the ministers came over, they took them to look for different scenery in the courtyard of the princess mansion, trying to take the best photos for them.

It won't be long after the photos are taken. Many people are willing to have a few more words with the princess during this time, maybe there will be something good to remember them in the future.

But Li Yuechen didn't want to remember them. In her opinion, the three views of these old people had been completely formed, and it was unlikely that they would understand her various reforms to the country in the future.

Not to mention the future, right now, there are still many ministers thinking about confronting the emperor all the time, and it has almost become an instinct.

Even Di Renjie would not fully agree with her ideas in many cases, so she didn't want to talk to them at all.

Li Yuechen still placed his hope in the young officials in the future, because the new generation of officials basically came out of listening to the legend of Princess Taiping, and it was easier to understand her.

After the officials who came to take pictures got the photos, their first reaction was basically a burst of exclamation, and then all kinds of compliments with gorgeous rhetoric. Some people even recited two lines of poems on the spot.

And Li Yuechen would also take the opportunity to vaguely propose his plan to open a photo studio in the future, telling them that if they still want to take pictures of their children or scenery in the future, they can visit the photo studio, which is a wave of advertisements for themselves in advance.

After all, the target group of this photo shoot is still mainly dignitaries and dignitaries, and they will be mainstream customers for a long time in the future.

……

After taking photos for several days in a row, not only did the popularity not go down, but it got higher and higher. Countless people came to give gifts for several days in a row.

If you think about it, you know that it must be the first to go back and show off to others after the filming, so that such a grand occasion can be caused.

Three days later in the afternoon, Li Yuechen looked up at the sky, raised his head and said, "Okay, it's almost dusk, and it's time for my cousin to go back."

Wu Sansi, who was standing by the pond, twisted his stiff neck: "Your Highness... is this the end?"

"Well, my cousin doesn't know. This photo must be taken under sufficient light, otherwise it won't look like a living person." Li Yuechen pulled out the cassette with a smile, and handed it to the subordinate next to him to process the photo.

Upon hearing Li Yuechen's horrible words, Wu Sansi was also taken aback. The ancients were very taboo about this, and shivered all over: "Okay, thank you Your Highness! I just don't know, and I will..."

"Cousin, don't worry. I've already found a suitable place. When the photo studio opens in the next year, I can shoot whatever my cousin wants." Li Yuechen advertised to himself.

Wu Sansi nodded happily: "It's so good, it's so good!"

After a while, the photo came out, and after seeing it, Wu Sansi took the photo and left contentedly.

Seeing the back of him leaving, Li Yuechen heaved a sigh of relief with a sullen face, and the secret path was finally over.

In the past few days, more and more people were giving gifts and taking pictures, and Li Yuechen didn't care about it, and told them to wait for the studio to open. After all, there was a holiday, and she didn't want to waste her time here.

While having dinner, Shangguan Wan'er said: "Your Highness, the sage asked me to tell you that on the winter solstice tomorrow, remember to enter the palace and don't take pictures of them."

"Don't worry, I won't take pictures anymore." Li Yuechen waved his hand to express his understanding.

I am tired after taking pictures for several days in a row, so I should take a good rest and enjoy the holiday.
