"May I ask the Emperor, what is football?" The ministers said they had never heard of it.

"The way it moves is similar to Keju, but it's very different from Keju's rules." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Keju is a sport that can only be played by high-ranking officials and nobles, and ordinary people also play football."

"Because it doesn't cost money at all."

"Emperors in history, some liked to domesticate wild beasts, some liked to do business in the palace, some liked to fight crickets, and some even liked to be beggars." Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "These hobbies of theirs will be emulated by hundreds of officials and the general public."

"Because these hobbies are not very healthy, the officials follow the playthings and lose their minds, and the people are not happy."

"Mr. Qin said that there was a cricket emperor in history, which led to a large number of crickets collected by the people, and some literati also wrote an article called "Promoting Weaving": Xuande Palace still promotes weaving, and the people are ......

"It's about a man in the village named Fame who caught a powerful cricket, but his son accidentally killed him. Later, the famous son was afraid of being punished by his father, so he jumped into a well and died, and then his soul became a very powerful cricket, and the fight was invincible, and later the famous gave the cricket to the county official, and the county official dedicated the cricket to the emperor, and the famous family also ascended to heaven......

"This article reveals that if the emperor's hobby is not good, it is very likely that the people will suffer from the fish pond."

"And the football we like is different, it's much healthier than singing, opening a market, and playing cricket."

"It can not only improve the physical fitness of all the people, but also form a huge economic industrial chain, which can be said to benefit the country and the people. The economic chain of football is much better than the economic chain of promoting the weaving of the economy."

"The emperor has been talking for a long time, but we haven't seen football yet." Liu Bowen said.

"That's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang took out a football from the golden dragon chair behind him, spun it on his fingers and spun it quickly, and then threw it in front of the civil and military officials in the Fengtian Palace.

"This is football?" The retainers immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully, "It really looks like a keju."

"Kemari is solid, while soccer ball is hollow." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Kicking is more flexible than Keju, and it tests one's all-round athletic ability. You can use any field as a football field, and any goal you can use as a goal."

"This is also invented by Mr. Qin, right?" Yang Xian took the football, played with it for a while, and asked.

"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Now the emperors in Lujiacun Primary School are all playing very well, and they are all very keen on this sport, and they have to kick a few times after each class."

"Just talk, don't practice fake tricks."

"Come on, come on, the theme of today's court meeting is to play a game of football, and all civil and military officials must participate."

"The civil officials are headed by Yang Xian, who is the captain, and the other ten civil officials form the civil official team."

"Your Majesty, we are all scholars...... Yang Xian said, "You let us exercise, isn't it a little difficult for us?"

"It's not your excuse." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Before the Spring and Autumn Period, scholars had to learn to shoot the emperor, and later developed into a helpless chicken. Don't talk nonsense, I'll organize if I call you to organize." ….

"Yes." Yang Xiandao.

"In addition, the generals are divided into a team, with Feng Sheng as the captain, and ten generals as team members."

"Yes!"

Soon, Yang Xian and Feng Sheng began to gather their respective team members. Yang Xian is an extremely competitive person, so when looking for team members, he first excluded Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, who were too old, and found ten young squires in the court, Yu Shi, and the director to participate. Among the civil servants, the older ones are in high positions, and the younger ones are too low.

In order to win, Yang Xian weighed the pros and cons. There was no choice to give face to those old officers.

Choose young players well, tell them to play hard, don't lose too badly, and even want to have a miracle to win those generals.

And the selection of generals is simple, all of them are experienced in a hundred battles and have extremely strong physical fitness, and they quickly gathered eleven people.

After the crowd

Walking out of the Fengtian Temple, the open space outside the hall was used as a court.

Then set the goal, the referee, Zhu Yuanzhang told them the rules of football after that. A group of officials who had changed into short clothes began to play football, and the crowd was very competitive.

In the final result, unexpectedly, the two sides actually tied.

After a relatively formal football game, the civil and military officials immediately fell in love with the sport.

"Your Majesty, football is really fun!"

"After an intense workout, I feel comfortable!"

The athletes touched the sweat on their heads and said one after another.

"The minister's heart is surging when he sees it." Li Shan said, "Therefore, the old minister suggested that it be promoted on a large scale across the country!"

"Yes, this campaign can be replicated nationwide." Liu Bowen said next to him, "The cost of football is too low, a piece of pigskin can be sewn, and everyone can afford it."

"And there are no requirements for the venue."

"In the future, when the whole country falls in love with this sport, everyone will be healthier."

"Now in Yingtianfu, those young people who have made money and have nothing to do are leading dogs and birds every day and visiting the Qinglou." "A healthy exercise program is needed to correct these unhealthy practices."

"When they love football, they don't have time to do things that hurt their bodies."

"Yes, you two have a point!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Pass the decree, at the end of this year, a football match will be held in Ying***, and we will play in person at that time!"

"After football is popular, it will be promoted nationwide."

"Then each province has to establish a football team, hold a national league, and compete for the championship, which is called the Daming League."

"Yes!" The ministers said one after another.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang does not need to specifically order the whole country to promote it, after today, football will naturally be popular throughout the country. The emperor likes a sport, and the civil and military officials will naturally do what he likes.

Hundreds of civil and military officials will naturally select outstanding football talents and sports throughout the country, and they will prosper.

Every move of the emperor will affect the whole country.

I remember that there was an emperor in history who liked to let eunuchs be officials, and as a result, most of the men wielded swords from the palace......

……

Tangjia Village is located on the mountain range above Lujia Village.

Qin Yu took Xu Da and a few strong men into the village.

I found that Tangjia Village is really picturesque, it is like a fairyland on earth. However, who would have expected that in Tangjia Village before, the villagers were like living in hell on earth.

Its natural environment and its living environment are simply two extremes.
