Chapter 26: The Six Arts of a Gentleman
Tick -
The sharp whistle of the bone whistle came out quickly, and on the side of the huge swimming pool, eight teenagers jumped up, like finless porpoises jumping out of the river in an arc. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Burst!
In the 11th year of Zhenguan, a youth sports meeting was held in Chuzhou, and these contestants came from Dahe Workshop, Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, Chang'an Chengxi Lecture Hall, Linzhangshan Society and "Zhongyi Society" private school.
"Wow! The boy was so good. ”
Lao Li, who came from Jingling County, sat on Lao Zhang's side, drinking the coconut produced by the Buddha Qi country in the room south of the Qianli Stone Pond. This was the capture of the "militia" fleet, and while escorting the merchant ships of the Gundam State to establish a supply point in Jiaozhou, a wild pirate robbed the Jiaozhou near-sea grain ship and killed more than 40 shipwrights.
So the "militia" fleet pursued and killed all the way, and finally wiped out the pirates in the Fuqi country.
Based on the charts drawn by the fleet, Zhang De judged that the "militia" fleet may have crossed the strait from the South China Sea, bypassed Sumatra, and reached the waters south of the island.
It's a typical thousand-mile chase, but it's not bad. The "militia" fleet found that there were a large number of princely states in the southeast of the Murifolqi country, primitive tribes and slave city-states, or five hundred or three or four thousand people, similar to the Western Regions and Japan. However, compared to the Tang Dynasty, there were about 70,000 or 80,000 people, which was similar to the four countries of Iyo Island.
At the same time, some supplies were harvested, including coconuts.
The "militia" fleet consciously collected cash crops very early, and coconuts entered Wan'an County on Hainan Island and Jiaozhou, Huanzhou, and Aizhou on the west coast of the South China Sea under the name of "Xu Ye."
Although there were coconuts in the Han Dynasty, and they were called "Yue Wangtou" at the time, the use was really lackluster. Sima Xiangru mentioned "Xu Ye" in an article "Shanglin Fu", but this thing did not enter the stream after all.
Lingnan things, only lychee and sugarcane are praised for the Central Plains, even if it is rice, three crops a year but the taste is bad, Chu people and Wu people do not like to eat, not to mention "Zhuxia".
However, after the coconut came into the hands of the "militia" fleet and opened up the Huanzhou plantation and Wan'an plantation, coconut oil began to be produced in small batches in Zhenguan for nine years.
Suffering from the lack of storage conditions and transportation conditions at that time, it was not until last year, that is, the tenth year of Zhenguan that Zhenguan set up a Lingnan glaze workshop in Guangzhou, which solved the storage problem of coconut oil.
Porcelain is too expensive, pottery pores are too many, but Feng, who has a strong desire to get some glass to play, opened the door to China Resources.
Although Feng Ang is a Tang Chen, he is a real and unknown "King of Nanyue", and compared with Feng Ang, Zhao Tuo was not at the same level at all.
Feng Shijie, one of the children of the Feng family, was the key person who single-handedly promoted the establishment of Wan'an County. The development of plantations required the support of many parties, and the Tang Dynasty established a county here, but it did not yet rule effectively. Feng Shi took over as the governor of Yazhou, and the China Resources took Feng An's relationship, which naturally let him know what to do next.
So Feng Shijie took the name of the governor of Yazhou and went to the imperial court, and then he set up an army in Wan'an County, swept away the strong natives in Wan'an County, and won over the local weak tribes. This allowed China Resources to successfully open up a coconut plantation in Wan'an County.
An acre of coconut groves, can be the first refining of three and a half stones, this primary oil has been quite good, high yield at the same time, its shelf life is relatively long, last year's coconut oil, stored in the shade, did not deteriorate at all.
The only thing that restricts its distribution to large and medium-sized cities is the preservation of long-distance transportation.
"Nourishing ......"
Taking a sip of coconut water, Lao Li looked at the teenager in the pool and said with emotion, "There are so many teenagers in competition." ”
"You have to sigh, why don't you take off your clothes and go for a wild swim in the Han River."
Lao Zhang's obscenity made Lao Li choke suddenly, swimming in the wild is actually not a big deal. But being watched by thousands of people is very problematic.
Lao Li is such a wild swimming problem, and the style of "celebrities" is more and more commented on by the young women in the land of Jingxiang.
Although there are no gold medals, the bronze medals are inlaid with jade stones that distinguish the ranks. The colors are different, so you can see them at a glance.
As the governor of a state, plus the governor of the mountain, Lao Zhang personally put on medals for them, and hired a master who is very good at sketching, painted the champion, and then printed some of them through lithographs, and scraped them in a special classroom.
"In ancient times, the six arts of gentlemen, about that."
Old Man Cao touched his beard with a smile, he didn't want the Hanyang Academy to come and join in the fun. First, he is famous, a student of Hanyang Society, who also came to him for fame, and if he was serious and willing to study, he rushed directly to Chang'an to kneel and seek a confidant; The second is that Old Man Cao has Li Shan, and the rest is garbage...... That's right, he's an old guy who is almost a hundred years old, and how vulgar he is; The third is that the old man strongly asked women to organize competitions, but Lao Zhang did not agree.
Nonsense, you old man, what are you trying to do!
If there are women participating in the competition, the old man will definitely organize the children of the Hanyang Institute to join in the fun.
The enlightened and open old man Cao was a little unbearable for Lao Zhang, but this juvenile competition attracted many celebrities and people from Ezhou, Fuzhou, and Huangzhou to watch.
The venue is not small, and it is convenient to come and go. Go out and turn right is Hanshui, cross the lock and pass through the canal, you can reach the south of Linzhang Mountain. There is a reservoir on one side and a flat tidal flat with silt on the other, and after the rails are repaired, it is quite convenient to go back and forth between the wharf and the school house.
Outside the swimming pool, there is a cinder-paved runway.
The teenagers in short shirts have changed into rubber-soled cloth shoes provided by the school, and they will not feel poked when they step on the cinder track.
Sprinting is quite an attractive race, "Scud" and "Fly on the Grass", there are seventy or eighty here, in addition to the fast, the explosiveness of the teenagers, is also quite textured. Those young women and girls who were holding folding fans in their hands, seeing the almost shirtless young man, were not only red-faced, but also excited......
"'Holding the ball' against the attack, what is the Chenguang ratio?"
Lao Li suddenly remembered an important matter, "Luoyang has a few friends who want to come here to see the market." ”
"What friends?"
"Wine and meat friends, they are in the business of Guan Po Gambling House, they are ruthless, and they have not had a good time in the past few years, and they want to get rid of these vulgar things."
"Shut down this game?"
"There are too few teams, I don't think it will be in the next two years. It will be in a few years. ”
What is a "ball-holding" attack? This is actually because teenagers play polo too risky trade-offs. It is necessary to have both physical confrontation and a certain amount of safety.
"Keju" was directly rejected by Lao Zhang, and the Tang Dynasty version of rugby with bamboo protective gear was born.
There are currently only four teams, up from two previously, with only two new additions added last year.
There are many people who like to watch it, but the only ones who know when to organize the competition are the members of the "Tadashi Society".
And there are a lot of people who use the results of the game to pounce. Because of traffic constraints, it is really not easy to organize a game, but Lao Li's words are not finished, and there is nothing to say.
After the end of the 20-mile race, Lao Li said to Lao Zhang: "The friends I mentioned actually want you to provide bamboo protective gear and wear, and then help find some venues in Chang'an and Luoyang." ”
"What do you mean? Are they going to form their own 'ball-holding' team? And then start in Luoyang, Chang'an? ”
Li Desheng nodded.
Day...... Why do the Tang Dynasty people have ideas, they actually want to do a league? Is there that mass base? When you name the league "Tang Chao", it will definitely hit the street.
But no matter what those Luoyang people pay attention to, for Lao Zhang, this is no loss. Anyway, the bamboo protector is not armor, so you don't have to worry about the court sending someone to arrest you and say that you are rebelling.
"Speaking of which, aren't these guys all in the business of gambling halls?"
"A few of them have obtained the 'production capital' of the sugar industry, mainly to open the door for white sugar again."
Ha?
A strange picture came to Lao Zhang's mind: the Tang Dynasty Rugby Super League in the twelfth year of Zhenguan was sponsored by "Triumph White Sugar" and the Sugar Association......
What is the season trophy called? White sugar cups?
For a while, Lao Zhang was a little messy, a little painful, and a little speechless.
