Chapter 354: See the Competition Again
"Oh, there's a pheasant flying into the rice pot!" He was busy catching pheasants here, and Wu Shun, who had just pushed open the door of the house that was congested by the heavy snow, screamed. The two pheasants burst into the house as soon as she opened the door. They were already hungry, and suddenly they saw a black doorway in the snow wall, and they thought they could find a place to eat, so they crashed into it.
If the lid of the pot is open in the room, the pheasants are flying around the house, and it may really fly into the rice pot. The so-called pheasant flying into the rice pot is just a saying.
Because I saw too many pheasants flying into the yard, into the house, and on the kang, it was not an exaggeration to say that it flew into the rice pot. However, if anyone really believes this statement, opens the lid of the rice pot at home every day, and waits for the pheasant to fly in, he can really compare with the ancient man who waited for the rabbit.
Li Hao took a group of children, and caught several pheasants without even going out of the courtyard gate, and the delicious taste of the tooth sacrifice was available today.
"Will those roe deer be stupid enough to rush over later? And then we stand on the side with sticks and hit one end down? After catching a few pheasants, the children now believe more and more in what Li Hao said.
"No, it takes skill and luck to beat a roe deer. When the snow stopped, we went outside in a dog sled, and we might be able to beat the roe deer. Li Hao smiled after hearing this, some of the things here he had heard from the old intellectuals.
In the winter in the Northeast, the springs in the ravines are not frozen, and the water is constantly flowing out. But the water that came out quickly froze, and day after day, the area around the spring was frozen into ice several meters or more than ten meters wide. The cloven hooves of roe deer are not slippery and cannot stand or walk on ice.
Normally, they don't go to the ice. But sometimes when I encounter any danger, I panic and run to the ice, and my four little hooves are like skates, and I slip after a few struggles, and I can't stand up again. At this time, if anyone touches it, they can break a stick and beat the roe deer to death.
In another case, heavy snow fell for several days, and the mountain recesses and ravines were filled in, and the snow was frozen with a layer of hard shell. These stupid roe deer accidentally stepped into the snow urn and got stuck there, their hooves hanging in the air, and they could only stare dryly and wait for death. Therefore, after the heavy snowfall, the young people here take a stick and a dog and go out into the mountains. If you run into a roe deer that has fallen into a snow ditch, you will have something to eat at night with a stick.
Although there was heavy snow everywhere throughout the winter, Li Hao and the others were not very idle, and took a group of children to toss outside all day. Catch pheasants, roe deer, and they even caught a tiger and a bear. The two animals were taken down by Li Hao and a few bodyguards, and the children were just watching from the sidelines.
Then I came back and ate a whole meal of bear paw tiger meat, the bear bile and tiger bones were all used as medicine, and the bear skin and tiger skin Li Hao didn't want it, let the housekeeper take it and deal with it. He is not very interested in this kind of dress, and he is more concerned about eating. The all-natural deliciousness, as well as the game, are things that are difficult to eat in later generations.
"Shall we go back to Chang'an after spring?" This year's Spring Festival, a group of people also spent in the north, and after a few children got tired of playing with these, they began to miss the days of Chang'an. The main thing is that it's all snow, and there's not much fun other than hunting and playing in the snow.
"Well, when the snow starts to melt, we'll head all the way west, then go to the prairie for a turn, and then go straight back to Chang'an from there." Li Hao smiled after hearing this, this kind of weather with heavy snow closing the road, even if there is a cement road, they don't dare to walk on the road, it's too slippery.
"We're going to the prairie? Didn't you pass by that side when you came? "When I went to Beihai, Li Hao and the others passed by there, but they didn't look closely. And when I go back to Chang'an, I will pass by there again, which is now an important pastoral area of the Tang Dynasty, and there are rich mineral resource areas, how can Li Hao not go to see it?
Staying on the farm until the beginning of spring, the group took a carriage to the grassland, and then turned back to Chang'an, which was almost summer at this time. Li Hao stayed in Chang'an for a few days, and then began to toss the sports piece. Now Datang has poetry contests, singing contests and model contests, and the rest is sports.
Thanks to Datang's always fierce folk customs, Li Hao has brought various sports activities to the people as early as possible, and the living standards of the people of Datang have been getting better and better year by year over the years, so in recent years, sports in various parts of Datang have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Li Hao paid for his own money to set up two football teams and two basketball teams, and he played a few games outside Chang'an when he had nothing to do. On the royal side, there are also some wealthy ministers and wealthy businessmen who have fun and have formed their own teams, and they have nothing to do with each other for one or two friendly matches, and Datang has also emerged professional players and referees, and now it is time to test the results.
In terms of media, the five print media of Datang took the lead in publicity, and then the vigorous Datang Royal Cup football match, Datang Royal Cup basketball game and Datang Cup sports competition began to promote the promotion, the prize money is still very rich, and the income of each game is shared by the two participating teams and the stadium.
There are more sources of income for this game, such as stadium tickets, sponsorships, advertisements, etc. And because the development of modern football is very simple, the trend of football uniforms is rising, the restrictions of field equipment are small, and the personnel on both sides of the game, as little as 2 or 3 people, more than 10, can be changed according to needs, compared with other sports to facilitate people's fitness and entertainment.
The formal 11-a-side game, because of its simple and clear rules of the game, is easy to be accepted, and their bright uniforms make the football game a popular culture, and widely welcomed and appreciated, so that the audience can watch the game, and the emotions of the athletes who are fighting the field reflect each other.
In fact, the fun of football is not only easy to carry out, but also because of its variety. In modern football games, athletes are required to complete a series of technical actions such as receiving, controlling, passing, shooting, grabbing, tackle, fighting, and topping the ball in fast running.
Due to the variability of on-field skills and tactics, as well as the physical exertion of athletes, coupled with frequent physical contact, the transition and change of the offensive and defensive sides on the field are constantly changing, so that the results of the game are also very changeable, as long as the game starts to the final whistle, unexpected game results on the field will occur.
Then there's the competitive nature of the game. In the football game, the athletes on both sides must not only have excellent ball skills, but also integrate the skills into the tenacious struggle, dare to press, tackle, dare to take control, not afraid of kicking, not afraid of falling, and play a stable technical level in the fierce game.
Because the rules allow the players of both sides to make physical contact and make reasonable collisions, therefore, the field is in a state of hand-to-hand contact at all times, and from time to time there will be players from both sides falling to the ground together, people on their backs, especially in the penalty area, their scrambling is extremely fierce, it is this intensity that will make the audience on the field fascinated and emotional. It's this highly competitive game that makes it fascinating and never tires of watching.
Finally, there is the difficulty of the football game. In an official professional football game, players generally have to run 5,000 meters on the field, and the maximum can reach more than 10,000 meters, which requires the football players to have high-intensity interval exercise ability. Moreover, the running of the football player is carried out in the case of possession of the ball and receiving it.
Therefore, people's physical strength and energy consumption is very large, and some people have to punish each other with penalties after overtime to decide the winner, which shows that the degree of hardship is unimaginable to ordinary people. In this sense, football is not only for fitness, but also for tempering people's strong will and extraordinary personality.
This makes it easier for the people of Datang to like this sports activity, and this activity has actually appeared in Datang for a long time. On the other hand, basketball does not seem to be so attractive, and there are relatively few non-governmental occurrences, and this activity is basically concentrated in colleges around the world.
Li Hao himself also prefers to like football more, although the football in the country where he is in later generations is as smelly as shit, and basketball is slightly better, but in this era, it can't be counted like this. Since these two sports activities are from the Tang Dynasty, if the people of Datang do not play well, they will also lose the face of those grandchildren in later generations from time to time, so Li Hao waved his hand, and all basketball and football were on the court, and the official game rules and systems were formed.
"Brother Xian, you love to toss this kind of thing, good court officials don't do it, they wander around, and when they come back to Chang'an, they make such a thing again." These competitions are still officially sponsored, and they are divided into several regions, which are roughly similar to the events of the later generations such as fake A. Li Hao wants to host it, so he naturally has to talk to Li Ke.
"Hehe, this is much more fun than being an official. If I want to be an official in the court, I have to go to the court often, and I can't play around, so I am so comfortable now? This sports event is a good help to improve the physical condition of my Datang people, and it can also increase the number of soldiers in my Datang, so it is necessary to do it in my Datang, and it is best to hold it every year. ”
Li Hao said with a smile after hearing this, after the living conditions of the people of Datang improved, they were indeed much more interested in sports. After regular exercise, the average physical fitness has also improved a lot, which is the best way to strengthen a nation.
These sports games are staggered, because the popularity of football is relatively high, so the first to play is the Datang Royal Cup football match. This game is not only watched by many people, but also fiercely competitive, and now there are hundreds of teams in the south and north of the entire Datang Dynasty, so the game is also played in the first division.
