910. Get a soccer ball to play

Li Shimin likes to play polo, this is known, three days at both ends of the two heads of the matter to play polo outside the Xiande Gate with hundreds of soldiers, do not play polo is just for entertainment, polo not only requires superb riding skills, but also to cooperate with each other, form a formation, can be a good practice of riding and swinging slashing skills, so many northern armies in the only way to be regarded as entertainment training is to play polo.

Li Shimin also knows this, so he did not stop the popularity of polo across the country, and secretly promoted it, but this popularity of the whole country does not include ordinary people, because polo has high requirements for horses, and it is only the aristocracy and the army that have the capital to play, although the horse politics of the Tang Dynasty is better, but ordinary people can't afford to play, but the people who are good at creating can also find another way, if there is no horse, then use donkeys, mules, and even cattle and sheep, so donkey balls, sheep balls are also available.

It wasn't until the late Tang Dynasty, the war in the Central Plains, the rise of ethnic minorities such as the Shatuo people and the Khitan people in the north, and the increasing scarcity of horses. In fact, Keju already existed at this time, but it was only played by some ordinary people.

On the occasion of the Song and Yuan dynasties, Ma Duan's "Literature General Examination" is recorded: "The ball cover began in the Tang Dynasty, planting two bamboos, several zhang high, and the net is on the top for the door. Isn't it a change of Keju". Here is a goal of the juju play, two poles stand in the middle of the field, two poles in the middle of a net, a hole in the middle of the net, the ball into the hole to win, this style of play has continued to the two songs, the two songs developed more perfectly.

Although polo is conducive to training equestrianism and stabbing and slashing books, but the people can't play it, when I think of this, Li Pojun, who loves the people and has three views, is very embarrassed, and when I think of this sport that can be entertained and exercised, I can't let the lovely people play, Li Pojun felt "uncomfortable", and when he turned his head and thought about it, Li Pojun made up his mind that he must benefit the people.

So, I pulled a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote it for a long time, and a football promotion plan was freshly baked.

Throwing off the paper, Li Pojun smiled, since you think I'm too serious, then I'll take a break and get something to play with, just don't let you impeach a plaything again.

In his previous life, Li Pojun was a full fan, and he was familiar with the rules of football, and the paper was full of football fields, forms, rules, etc., which were very clear. Compared with polo, football is really suitable for the whole people's sport, as long as you make a ball, find an empty field, and draw a few lines to play.

Li Pojun couldn't help but think that the full set of rules of the 21st century was now moved out by him in advance, if he persuaded Aya to promote, and then report a Datang Cup or something, football will definitely be vigorously developed, and if this development continues, the future is the World Cup, is there no place for me in China, loyal fan Li Pojun thought of this, whether it is out of feelings or out of reality, it is imperative to promote football.

Early the next morning, Li Pojun went straight to the general as a prison, but he happened to meet his cheap uncle, why did he say uncle, because this person is his grandmother's younger brother, why do you say cheap uncle, because this person is just Li Pojun's grandmother's brother, not his own brother, this person is Deng Guogong of the dynasty, and will be the general Dou Jin.

Li Pojun didn't know whether he liked or hated Dou Jin when he saw Dou Jin, or stepped forward and saluted plainly, "I've seen my uncle."

Dou Jin was on duty today, and when he got off the sedan chair, he saw Li Pojun coming over to salute, and he was also very happy, "Tiger slave, I haven't seen you for a few days, my uncle misses you, why is it that I will be a prisoner when I come today, there is something wrong, just tell my uncle." Dou Jin patted Li Pojun's shoulder with a familiar and enthusiastic look, and said kindly.

Li Pojun was also slightly hot in his heart when he saw this, Dou Jin, he really didn't know how to evaluate it. Dou Jin was close to his cousin Li Pojun's grandmother Queen Taimu, when Li Yuan raised the army, Dou Jin was too guarded by the wind, as soon as he heard that his brother-in-law raised troops, Dou Jin was not ambiguous, and directly killed the officials loyal to the Sui Dynasty to control the army, and the county was attached.

It's just that later the environment changed people, the Tang Dynasty unified the world, there was no enemy, this guy as a relative, and there was merit, that is, indulgence, not to mention his arrogance and lasciviousness, when he served as a master craftsman in the first year of Zhenguan, he was ordered to repair Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion in Luoyang, but this guy was extremely luxurious, overhauled the palace, and was found by Li Shimin and was furious, and dismissed him.

It's just that Queen Taimu's face is big, last year King Li Yuanheng married Dou Jin's daughter as a concubine, Li Shimin thought of his mother, his heart softened, and he reinstated Dou Jinguan, so now Li Pojun saw him in the general prison.

Although Dou Jin is not in every way, firstly, he has meritorious service to the country, and secondly, he is also the younger brother of Empress Taimu, and the relationship is very cordial and attaches great importance to family affection. With these two points, as long as Dou Jin does not die, he will not fall out of favor.

Li Pojun immediately said with a smile: "I really have something to trouble my uncle."

"Oh, that's good, haha, let's go, go in and say what's the matter, just say it, it's not ambiguous that my uncle can help." Dou Jin seemed to be very happy when he heard this, and put his arm around Li Pojun's shoulders and entered the lobby, and the little official served tea.

Dou Jin frowned, slapped the table with a blank face and said, "What are you doing, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drink this kind of tea, take out my treasured Emei snow buds."

The little official went down to change the tea in a panic, and Dou Jin patted his head at this time, "Haha, uncle forgot, that time Ganming was the industry of the tiger slave, this must be a shortage of good tea to drink, and this Emei snow bud is not rare." Dou Jin scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

Li Pojun looked at Dou Jin, and he was also moved, at least in Li Pojun's opinion, Dou Jin's face was not fake, as if the elders were embarrassed that they couldn't take out good things to entertain their juniors.

Immediately, he said bluntly: "It turns out that my uncle likes to drink tea? That's not easy to say, it's not good to sell in the Ganming shop, there are treasures in my palace Emei tea, and the best red robe in the land of Minyue, this is not found in the world, I'll let you send some back." Li Pojun waved his hand with a smile and said.

Dou Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed and said, "If the tiger slave has a heart, then the uncle is welcome." By the way, what is the matter with the Tiger Slave coming to be a prison? It's important to get your business done first."
