(Volume 3 118 on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve was blocked by the starting point backstage for some reason, and the bottle also felt inexplicable, as if there was nothing forbidden Dongdong!) It's just that the starting point of the past few days is on vacation, and I can't get in touch for a while, so I'll put it on hold for the time being, and I'll wait for the editor to come back and ask clearly.

said that although Wu Guomu only came to Yizhou to see her daughter, as long as she was a little brainy, she understood that Wu Guomu would definitely do something that a diplomatic envoy should do. This is not to say that Wu Guomu will go to talk to Lu Ren about something when she has nothing to do like ordinary envoys, but that when Wu Guomu follows Sun Shangxiang to play in Yizhou, she will definitely bring some thoughts about conducting an investigation in Yizhou.

Of course, if it was an ordinary inspection activity, the envoys sent by Sun Quan after the peace talks with Lu Ren did not do less, and logically speaking, there was no need for the dignified old lady Wu Guomu to do this kind of thing. However, Wu Guomu is not an official after all, and she usually stays among the deep officials, and she doesn't know much about many things. But it is precisely because of this that this old lady will have her own opinion when looking at some things.

For example, now sit with Sun Shangxiang and watch the ball game. Lu Ren's trading company league has been in place for several years, and the envoys sent by Sun Quan have not seen it uncommonly, but after returning to Jiangdong, it is nothing more than a new thing to say, and it is great to add a sentence such as "Lu Ren entertains the people with this ball game", and it is unlikely that he will think too much and say more about the deeper things in it.

This is not to say that the ability of the envoys will not be visible, but that these formal envoys will be limited by their status and status, and will not be able to see many things, and then a situation of "darkness under the lamp" will be formed, which has nothing to do with the ability of the envoys. In fact, which of these guys who can become envoys sent by Sun Quan will be fuel-efficient lamps?

But this is not the case with Wu Guomu. This old lady came to Yizhou to say that Chun Quenching is here to play, if you are looking for a modern word to describe it, it is a bit like "decentralization" of "going deep into the grassroots", and she has more contact with all aspects. And since it is not a formal envoy, it will not be like a formal envoy when considering problems, so there will be more things that can be seen and thought of.

So at this time, a small piece of "guessing the ball" piece of paper, Wu Guomu sees Lu Ren's control of the economy and the exquisite use of it, what can be extended from this...... Wu Guomu believes that as long as she explains to Sun Quan what she thinks of when she goes back, Sun Quan and Sun Quan's staff can naturally do better under the inspiration of this inspiration.

For example, this small "guessing the ball" activity, Wu Guomu felt that after going back, Sun Quan could learn from it appropriately. The world has been in turmoil for many years, and the impact on Jiangdong is actually quite small, but there are still a lot of messy things, so there are also many orphans, children and orphans in Jiangdong. If it is simply funded by the government, the effect is not very ideal.

Lu Ren's practice of using the funds obtained from this legal and controlled "guessing the ball" activity for social welfare should be said to have mobilized the surplus financial resources of the people, which can not only save the government's finances, but also entertain the people and stimulate consumption if it is properly grasped. Such a good method, why not learn from it?

Okay, Wu Guomu can just write down these thoughts for the time being, and it will not be too late to tell Sun Quan after returning to Jiangdong. At this time, it was so rare to join in the fun with Sun Shangxiang, a baby daughter, and the old lady who usually likes to be quiet also came a little interested, so she casually paid some money to buy a team with Sun Shangxiang, and then watched the ball with great interest.

But he said that at this time, on the field, the players were already in place, and the game was about to start. At this time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening in modern hours...... In fact, the 24-hour timekeeping method has long been adopted in Yizhou, and one of the first buildings to be built in Yizhou such as Keelung, Mangjia and several other important towns under construction is the tall bell tower. However, according to the general custom, people still use the twelve-hour system in conjunction with it.

Seven o'clock, the first quarter of the dog, is just after dark in the middle of February. At first, Wu Guomu was a little strange, it was dark this day, how should everyone play the ball game? Light more torches to kick? But why isn't there any lighting around the stadium?

But soon Wu Guomu reacted, there is electric lighting in Yizhou! In fact, when she followed Sun Shangxiang around Yizhou a few days ago, Wu Guomu had already seen the electric lighting in Yizhou, but she didn't think about it for a while. After all, this is an old lady who stays in the deep palace all the year round, and many novelties have just been seen, and the old lady can't digest them in a short time!

But even so, when the game was about to start and the main lights around the stadium came on, it still startled the old lady. You must know that this is a fifty by thirty football stadium after all, and the conventional civil lighting in Yizhou must not be able to meet the needs, so around the stadium, Lu Ren installed many lighting appliances similar to searchlights. Of course, with the current conditions of Yizhou, it is not comparable with those lamps and lanterns in modern football stadiums, but the appropriate increase in quantity, supplemented by a considerable number of reflectors, can also illuminate the entire football field without using too much electricity. Especially the placement of those delicate reflectors, Lu Ren often sighed secretly, but don't underestimate the wisdom of our ancestors.

With the referee's whistle after the players officially entered the stadium, the game officially began. By the way, the football rolling on the pitch at this time is no longer a leather ball, but is already very close to modern football. The reason is also very simple, Lu Ren has rubber on his hands and has been widely used. In this case, if he can't even do something like making a leather ball out of rubber, then Lu Ren can die, because it would be too embarrassing.

The ball game began, the black and white ball kept tumbling and flying under the feet of the players of the two teams, and the players of both teams also used their skills, or dribbling, or scrambling to block, or shooting vigorously, a ball game was really exciting, causing the whole stadium to keep shouting and screaming. Even the old lady Wu Guomu, who has always been inclined to be quiet, just accompanied Sun Shangxiang to join in the fun from the beginning, but later she was also fascinated, and she would applaud loudly when she scored a wonderful goal.

To be honest, there were no good entertainment activities in that era, and even if there were some good ones, most of them were basically the so-called "elegant" things of the aristocratic class, and the average commoner could only be described as pitiful, otherwise there would not be a sentence "made at sunrise, rested at sunset", and then "idle on a rainy day and nothing to beat the child". The people of Yizhou will gradually like the life of Yizhou after coming to Yizhou, in addition to this is a peaceful place in the troubled times, and Yizhou has a rich entertainment life and spiritual world also has a lot to do with it.

Someone once said to Lu Ren not to engage in these "strange tricks" so as not to lose his mind from playthings, but Lu Ren just smiled indifferently at this. This matter can't be said that the person who said such things to Lu Ren didn't have a good heart, it can only be said that the people who said such things have too strong historical limitations, but they can't be blamed for anything.

After Lu Ren reached a certain level, whenever he had time, he would read as many books as possible and absorb the knowledge that he might use. Let's put it this way, the attitude of the ancient Chinese feudal rulers towards the people is really not very good, many times it can be said that they are pursuing a strategy of raising ordinary people as pigs, thinking that as long as the people are fed and obedient, and the people do not need to have their own thoughts and corresponding activities, and then this matter reached a peak when Qin Shi Huang was in the time, but is this really good? But all human beings will always have their own thoughts and activities, and where can they be restricted? Simply thinking that the people are full of food and drink is pure nonsense!

Although Lu Ren was only twenty-three years old when he came through, he was a person who had been educated by the great ideas of the proletariat after all, so at that time, Lu Ren knew at least at a superficial level that "economic civilization and spiritual civilization should be grasped together", but at that time, Lu Ren had not yet reached a certain level, and he just had to mix well and be able to deal with it, and he didn't think about many things. But later Lu Ren became the lord of Yizhou, and he knew that there were many things that he had to arrest.

Ahem, those are a bit far, anyway, Lu Ren knows that if he wants to achieve the goal he predetermined, he must not raise the people as pigs, but to stimulate the spiritual level of the people. In addition to allowing people to have a good living condition, it is also necessary to have a sense of spiritual attachment and identity.

It still seems a bit far? Forget it, let's talk about a bit of a mess.

In terms of rule, Lu Ren needs to please the people to gain a sense of identity. And to make these messy things, Lu Ren actually borrowed some things from the ancient Roman period. What was the most famous activity in ancient Rome? Gladiators, of course!

In fact, there is another one that is the bathhouse of ancient Rome, but strictly speaking, that thing was played in the circle of ancient Roman nobles, and it is not very suitable for reference, but Lu Ren still came up with a public bath system, but what can be done is the health and health of Yizhou.

Pull back the gladiators. Those who know some of the history of ancient Rome may know that in ancient Rome, gladiator events were often funded by the aristocracy to please the people in exchange for popularity and support, and even Roman emperors would hold and participate in themselves. On this issue, although there are some cultural differences between the East and the West, some of the desires/desires of people themselves are basically the same, right? For example, joining in the fun and chatting about gossip is the same in the East and the West.

Lu Ren didn't want to make a gladiator as bloody, and if he really made it, most of them were not recognized by the people, not to mention that Lu Ren didn't like that kind of bloody tone in the first place, and if he didn't make a good scene, he would be criticized that Lu Ren was a brutal person. If you really want to do it, Lu Ren would rather have a martial arts conference or a boxing match or something.

In contrast, things like football and basketball are more appropriate, and the scene is atmospheric enough. And in addition to arousing the interest of the people on a large scale, Lu Ren has a little bit of selfishness with a bad taste...... There's no way, who made the national football team of later generations too uncompetitive? Now that Lu Ren has made football, maybe he can change something in the future? At the very least, you can hold the "invention right" of football in your hands, right? For example, Greece, although it did not win any medals in the Olympic Games, it enjoyed the glory of being the first to enter the entrance ceremony!

Regarding the spread of football, Lu Renzhi is not too worried. Now Lu Ren's foreign voyage fleet can go as far as the Middle East, and when the conditions are ripe, Lu Ren is ready to promote the movement of foreign colonization like some countries in the Age of Discovery. It's hard to say how much territory you can occupy in the intermediary, but at least you can promote Chinese civilization.

Why did English have so many areas of circulation in later generations? Haven't you been troubled by colonial tactics? Although Lu Ren said that his memory of his life experience has long been blurred, he also knew that he had a big head when he encountered English classes in middle school. Now that I have such an opportunity, I also want to try to make Chinese the official language of many regions, so that later foreigners can also roll up their tongues to learn the changes of our four qi in China......

For example, there is an ancient football in the Americas, which is an activity of sacrifice to the sun god, and the rules and venues are not very different, but the most fundamental thing is that you can only kick with your feet.

In Europe, a ...... is popular Should it be said that "village football" between villages? Between the two villages, hang a wooden sign with a bull's-eye logo somewhere in their respective villages, and then start from the junction of the two villages, and the personnel of both villages, whether men, women or children, go into battle together, compete for the ball, and try their best to hit the ball into the opponent's bull's-eye. And when it comes to snatching the ball, hundreds of people play rugby...... Hehe!

And because the place is too big and there is no limit, and there are many people involved, it is common for two days or three days to make trouble. However, in general, this kind of "village rugby" is more like a ball game for the military training of the village.

It's far away, anyway, Lu Ren believes that as long as he has action here, then he has relatively complete and mature rules for sports activities here, which should be easily accepted by the outside world. Isn't it a good illustration that the World Cup in the future will be able to compete with the Olympics to some extent? Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is just a kind of play, but Lu Ren understands that colonization is not just about conquering land, but also about conquering on a cultural level. To put it more bluntly, it is not only the land that is conquered, but also the culture. And isn't these easy-to-understand sports activities a more acceptable way of culture?

Well, those are too far away, let's pull back to the stadium.

Few people may know that the Keju of the Han Dynasty in China is actually very similar to modern football in many rules, and it can even be said that as long as the "Kecheng" and the six low goals are removed, replaced with modern stadiums and goals, and then the six offensive and six defensive players are replaced with modern eleven people, then the Keju soldiers of the Han Dynasty can directly play modern football...... Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but at least it can show that Wu Guotai is watching the ball game at this time, and he can understand it without much need for Sun Shangxiang to explain.

And Wu Guomu followed Sun Jian's father and son and the three of them have not seen the Han Dynasty Keju, so if you really want to talk about Wu Guomu, she is also half an insider, and she can see some of the doorways in it, which is why Wu Guomu originally liked a quiet character, and one of the reasons why she was fascinated by it after watching it for a short time, but more or less with some Keju is the mind of military training, and the commentary of the commentator on the edge of the arena was full of spit and passion, and Wu Guomu occasionally frowned. The heart said that this narrator, what the hell do you know? If you don't understand some of the player's movements, don't talk nonsense, it's okay, it's a life-saving action on the battlefield, okay?

It is precisely because of this kind of training intention that Wu Guomu looks at these players very differently. For example, when a player dribbles and sprints at high speed, Wu Guomu will think of the soldier's charging or something. Comparing the physical condition of the players with some Jiangdong soldiers that the old lady could see, the old lady could only shake her head silently in her heart, saying that the physical condition of the Jiangdong soldiers was really far worse than others...... Actually, where is this? The players on the field have all practiced, and the soldiers in Jiangdong are all products of the government military system at that time, to put it mildly, it is the standard "to pick up a weapon is a soldier, pick up a hoe is the people", your old lady compares ordinary civilians with people who have specially practiced, and compares a yarn! It's strange if you're not depressed!
