Chapter 30: The Late Ming Dynasty Football Match

Black people are actually not uncommon in this era, and the more traditional term is 'Kunlun Nu'.

In fact, many people can't tell the difference between black Africans and Nanyang natives, maybe the former is taller and the latter is shorter? However, this kind of race, which seems to be black from the inside out, except for the teeth, still attracts the attention of many people.

These 500 slaves, Zhang Hongbin felt that there were still a few less, the modernization of society required a large amount of labor, and the Ming Dynasty was more or less depopulated after war. In addition, he wants to develop other careers, and the highly intelligent businessmen of the Chinese people should be used to build a harmonious society, rather than to be used in things that have little scientific content, such as mining and building bridges and paving roads. At most, being a supervisor or designer is fine.

Therefore, in the past few years, he has bought a lot of slaves, from Mongolia, North Korea and even from the Arab region of the Middle East.

These people all went to work at the bottom of the ladder after receiving a simple education. In the treatment of slaves, Zhang Hongbin is indeed very merciful, and does not squeeze their labor too much, after all, he needs to be a long-term laborer, not a disposable item that will be thrown away when it is used up.

As long as they have worked for 10 years and the assessment is excellent, at least they must meet the good requirements, they can sign a long-term work contract with the construction site, enjoy a certain amount of national treatment, and at least get a salary and vacation. If all of them are excellent in the past ten years, they will be able to increase their wages and salaries appropriately, and if they can learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese fluently, they may even have the opportunity to receive real national treatment.

With this agreement, the slaves still worked very hard, and they were not too badly treated in terms of food, so they could see meat once a few days. Therefore, over the years, although the slaves were not very strong, they definitely had the strength to continue their work. When you have a salary, you think you will be more powerful.

Perhaps it was because his attitude towards Zheng Zhihu was too cold, according to the meaning of the internal guard, Zheng Zhihu quickly returned to Fujian and told Zheng Zhilong, the brother of the governor, about this matter. Zheng Zhilong, who had planned to go on vacation, canceled his vacation and set sail for the sea.

When he arrived at sea, he naturally had no way to continue tracking, even if he placed people in Zheng Zhilong's team, the vast sea would not be able to convey the message.

But it is certain that Zheng Zhilong's going to sea and Zheng Zhihu's return have a great connection. In addition, Zheng Zhihu escorted a lot of firecrackers back this time, Zheng Zhilong's comprehensive strength has been improved again, and it is natural to further seize power on the sea.

So in the following days, everyone found that the originally diligent Emperor Xià had become lazy again. Or since the proclamation of the political system, as long as it is not a vital national matter, Zhang Hongbin will let it go to the Congress to deal with. Of course, he will continue to inquire about the handling of government affairs, but he will basically inquire and will not interfere.

Zhang Hongbin delegated power, and the members of the National Assembly and the speaker of the parliament were naturally very happy. It's just that I used to be used to Zhang Hongbin working with them, but now that someone is suddenly idle, I always feel obedient in my heart.

In fact, they don't know that Zhang Hongbin has been secretly in charge of military power. The officers who guarded the towns everywhere were all his disciples, so there was always an opportunity to connect with each other. He did this with only one purpose, to at least keep the military power firmly in his hands, and then to see where Congress would go if it was to govern itself in this way.

If he commits rebellion, or even wants to overthrow him as a king, then this system is not suitable for him, and he must be overthrown and rebuilt. I have to say that this is indeed a bit of a **, but any new system, why not spend it in the midst of repeated attempts? As long as the military power and internal security are in his own hands, Zhang Hongbin can play with them, in fact, he also feels that he is similar to those Ming emperors who do not go to court on the surface, but in the mainland, he is more like the Taizu or Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it simply, the power of the Emperor's Mind Technique has become more profound.

These days, Zhang Hongbin is in the National Gymnasium, which is a place for official speeches and a venue for holding national games. Of course, the Spring Festival Gala will also be held here, so the area of the sports field is still very wide.

At this moment, this place is closed, and at least the only people who can enter here are Zhang Hongbin, the three princes (female), and more than 30 children. No one knows what they are doing in it, only that they have been renovated for a short time some time ago.

Such a question, let alone those in the Congress, even the people who heard the news were very curious.

But the guards are very strictly managed, and no one can enter it to confirm what is going on inside, not even the queen and the princess.

Everyone is anxious, everyone's eyes are focused here, and they all want to know what tricks Zhang Hongbin is playing.

But he didn't want to, on the third day after the autumn harvest, Zhang Hongbin announced that he would hold a football match.

The so-called soccer ball was called Kemari at the time. Strictly speaking, it appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and flourished in the Song Dynasty. In fact, there was a similar sport in the Tang Dynasty, called polo, and many people also felt that the Song Dynasty was actually because of the lack of war horses to play polo.

For Keju, in fact, the people are not too unfamiliar. At least many young people will play it, but no one is as mysterious as Zhang Hongbin.

Well, it's just a football game, and it's a big deal...... Everyone who knew the truth only had a wry smile on their faces.

"Your Majesty, what the hell are you thinking, so god-wrenching, it turned out to be a football game...... By the way, you're not going to let the two princes play, are you? He Ling, who was promoted to the prime minister of the National Assembly, said depressedly.

"yes, I'm going to let them go, or why should I choose so many children?" Zhang Hongbin asked rhetorically.

"Actually, there are rumors that you have a dragon yang fetish...... This is also something that can't be helped, after all, a qiē is too mysterious. He Ling said embarrassedly.

At that moment, Zhang Hongbin really felt that it was thunderous, his sexual orientation was so normal, he had a son and daughter, and he still wore his own Longyang?

"If you can, it's really like connecting the nine ......clans with the initiators," Zhang Hongbin complained very unhappily.

"Well, I'll look into it." He Ling naturally thought it was an order.

"This ...... I'm just complaining, and besides, the order to execute someone, according to the constitution, I can only use it once a year, and I can't punish more than three clans, have you forgotten? Zhang Hongbin coughed lightly and reminded him.

"I'm sorry, after all, I've been used to it before......" He Ling also suddenly realized, and immediately apologized modestly.

"Okay, in two days, I'll let you see a different football game. In fact, I plan to promote a range of sports and even hold a national sports competition. If the effect is good, it will expand into a national sports event. As for the purpose, have you noticed that our people seem to be doing less recently? Although Zhang Hongbin was smiling, his tone was serious.

"This ...... In fact, the minister is also having a headache. "He Ling didn't know.

People will also have aesthetic fatigue when they read literary works, especially when the subject matter is becoming less and less, and the writing is becoming more and more the same, and there will be fewer people to read it in the future.

But how do you guide the people to do something else and not let them be too idle? This is also being discussed in Congress, but nothing has come of it. In order to solve this problem, some people even suggested that yì should delay the working time to 10 hours and cancel holidays. But this mention was vetoed, not to mention Zhang Hongbin, He Ling could realize that if this mention was implemented, the people who were originally accustomed to the eight-hour work week would definitely complain, even if the salary would be raised.

In addition, the workshop owner would have worked only eight hours to complete his production purpose. If the production time is changed suddenly, it means that he will either expand his trade routes or lay off employees. Obviously, the latter is a bit easier. If the laid-off personnel are left unchecked, they will become a factor of social instability, and in the end they will go back to a dead end, or even worse.

Everyone was having a headache, but they didn't expect Zhang Hongbin to give an answer.

If there is no thing to relieve boredom, create something that relieves boredom!

Sports, perhaps, is a good choice...... Well, let's take a look at this so-called 'different' football game!
