Chapter 52: The Originator of Golf
"The working people refer to our hard-working and kind-hearted people of Ming Dynasty. They work hard and work hard, thus supporting the foundation of our Ming Dynasty and promoting the continuous progress of society, culture and technology!"
Princess Yongning's face became even more confused, and she asked: "It's not our royal family, ministers, officials, etc. who promote social progress. How can it be the common people?"
"Humph! Without the grain grown by the peasants, without the taxes paid by the merchants all over the world, what would the so-called ministers and officials eat and drink, and how would the imperial court rely on to maintain its operation? Without those ministers, ministers and officials, the world would still be like this
We are developing forward, but without so many hard-working and intelligent working people, everything in this world will cease to exist, and everything will be out of the question!"
What bothered Yang Ning most in his previous life were those people who were superior and looked down on ordinary people. This concept has also been brought to this era, but this era's phenomenon of hierarchical concepts is far more serious than in the previous era!
Princess Yongning had a shocked and confused expression on her face, and finally she became thoughtful and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing Princess Yongning's appearance, Yang Ning reacted and couldn't help but secretly cursed herself for being confused: By saying this to a royal princess who was deeply influenced by feudal culture, wasn't this just looking for trouble? How could she accept these views of her own?
These words are a bit treacherous!
"Princess, I just say it casually, don't take it seriously!" Yang Ning said unnaturally.
Princess Yongning did not speak for a long time before sighing and saying: "Yang Ning, what do you think the outside world is like? I really want to go out and see!"
Seeing that Princess Yongning no longer mentioned the topic, Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Isn't it easy for you to go out? When you get better, let's sneak out of the palace and have a good time. I will take you to go shopping."
Go to Qipan Street and visit the temple market in front of Longfu Temple. There are many vendors selling various snacks and toys, as well as jugglers and storytellers. It’s very lively!”
Princess Yongning looked happy and said excitedly: "I have heard the palace maids say before that if I can go out, I will visit those places and buy a lot of delicious and fun things!"
Seeing Princess Yongning acting like a little girl, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said: "Then you have to maintain a good mood every day, eat more, sleep more, and try to get better as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Princess Yongning agreed resolutely, but then her expression suddenly dimmed and she said: "Well, we are just talking, it is not easy to leave the palace! My father will definitely not allow me to leave the palace.
From the palace!"
Yang Ning smiled and said: "It's simple. We won't let it out openly, let's do it secretly!"
Princess Yongning looked at Yang Ning with a half-smile and said: "Look, you are so bold again. If we sneak out and my father finds out, I will at most be scolded, but you
But it will be terrible, you will be punished with a rod!"
Yang Ning immediately said with a sigh of relief: "For the princess, let alone being beaten with a cane, even if you lose your head, it's nothing!"
Princess Yongning said angrily and funny: "Okay, how can you imitate those duplicitous slaves? I really can't tell whether your words are true or false. It depends on your future performance!" After a pause,
She said with some worry: "Even if we sneak out secretly, we have to pass through several palace gates to get out of the palace. They are guarded by Ouchi guards. How can we get out so easily!"
It seems that Princess Yongning is very concerned about leaving the palace. Yang Ning thought of Mou Tai and smiled slightly: "Don't worry about this princess, leave it to me to solve the problem, it's just——!"
"Just what?" Princess Yongning said immediately.
"I need another jar of royal wine from the princess!"
Princess Yongning breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What do I think? It's no problem. Don't talk about one altar, ten altars are fine!"
Good guy, Princess Yongning claims to have ten jars of imperial wine that no one else can ask for. Anyway, the more of this top-quality daughter's red wine is the better. When the time comes, I will keep the nine jars and drink it slowly, and take out one jar in Mou Tai.
It’s enough to engage in “public relations” there!
"Okay! Princess, the rest is your problem. Take good care of yourself and try to get well soon!" Yang Ning warned again.
"Well, don't worry!" Princess Yongning's eyes were firm.
Yang Ning couldn't help but secretly laugh: I didn't expect that the temptation to leave the palace would be so great for Princess Yongning! In this way, it seems that curing the princess's disease is not as difficult as imagined!
After saying goodbye to Princess Yongning, Yang Ning was still thinking about making a fortune from coal mining, but now that she was in the palace, the investigation of the utilization of private coal would have to wait until she left the palace before she could implement it. For now, even if
No matter how much I think about it, I am just anxious. In contrast, finding Shuiling and Xiao Lezi is more serious. I hope that Princess Yongning will get better. I have to quickly ask her to help me go to the Queen to find out. The only hope is
He's there. As for Xiao Lezi, as long as he is in this palace, he will be able to find him sooner or later, so there is no need to worry too much.
Time flies by for a few days.
Over the past few days, Princess Yongning's illness has gradually improved, her cough has stopped, she has a good appetite for meals, and she can gradually sit and walk in the yard without feeling so tired.
And Yang Ning also used this time to gradually become familiar with some of the things he needed to be responsible for as the general manager of Funing Palace. If he didn't understand, he would ask Ying'er for advice and manage all the affairs of Funing Palace. The general manager of Funing Palace was the same as the housekeeper of the big family.
Similarly, Yang Ning's duty is to be the housekeeper of Princess Yongning. With Yang Ning's intelligence and experience of the world, he quickly became able to do these things with ease and managed the affairs of Funing Palace in an orderly manner.
Princess Yongning saw this and listened to Ying'er's praises of Yang Ning from time to time. She was secretly happy in her heart. She felt that she had made a wise choice at the time. Yang Ning was a hundred times better than the annoying Jia Shiren.
.
While handling affairs, Yang Ning also pays attention to the control of his subordinates, trying his best to find out the details, backgrounds, etc. of all the maids and eunuchs in Funing Palace, so that he knows who is available, who is not available, and who can be reused. Of course.
, among these people, Yang Ning of course focused on cultivating Xiang Zhong, teaching him some sophistication and ways of doing things, and treating Wang An and others with kindness and power. He quickly established prestige and managed everyone in Funing Palace.
He must be submissive and obedient. No one will dare to despise him because of his young age.
During her free time, Yang Ning went to inspect the area around Taiye Lake and selected the best place to play "golf". In the center of the largest lake in the northern section of Taiye Lake, there is a small island with a radius of more than one kilometer.
It is called Qionghua Island. This Qionghua Island is a patch of green grass with undulating grass hills, a stream flowing through the middle, and shrubs distributed in the middle. The overall terrain is distributed in a ladder shape from the center to the surroundings. It is definitely an excellent natural place.
golf course.
The venue was found, and the next step was to get the equipment. This equipment was easy to handle. Yang Ning drew the shapes of golf clubs and balls from memory, and sent them to the Internal Prison Yamen in the name of Princess Yongning - Bing
Battle situation.
Titanium metal for making good golf clubs could not be found in this era. At the same time, considering the age, height and grip strength of himself and Princess Yongning at this time, Yang Ning asked them to make the hitting part of the club head made of iron.
The shaft is made of hard wood, and its length is appropriately reduced.
Golf balls are even simpler. They use hard wood and shape them into balls of suitable size, boil them in boiling oil, and then wrap them with a thin layer of iron sheet, and they are ready to use.
For offending the emperor's most beloved Princess Yongning, Eunuch Meng, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, was punished, Teng Xiang, the manager of the Sixth Palace, was demoted, and Jia Shiren was beaten half to death and expelled from the palace. This matter had already spread in the palace, and now something happened to Princess Yongning.
How dare you not be diligent in the battle? In less than half a day, you can get what Yang Ning wants. The shape and length of the club are very suitable for Yang Ning. It is also very easy to use. The weight and elasticity of the ball are also good.
very good.
After trying a few hits in the yard, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel proud, damn! I remember that Scotland, the Netherlands and France were all arguing over the origin of this "golf", and they all claimed that this golf originated in their countries. In fact,
China has had a sport called "Chuiwan" since the Tang Dynasty. The gameplay is somewhat similar to golf. It is undoubtedly the "originator" of golf. Now that I have strengthened myself, there is no need to talk nonsense. This future history
Yes, golf definitely originated in China.
"Yang Ning, what are you doing?" Yang Ning was feeling proud when he heard someone speaking from the direction of the main hall behind him.
When she turned around, she saw Princess Yongning standing on the steps of the main hall, with Ying'er standing next to her.
"Haha, princess, the exercise I told you has been completed, and you look good. How about we go play tomorrow?" Yang Ning waved the club proudly, and then explained the simple way to play golf.
I gave a brief introduction and demonstrated while talking.
"How about it, is it fun? I have already chosen a venue on Qionghua Island in the Taiye Pool. It will be better to play there! Playing this thing will not be too tiring, and it can also exercise your body and cultivate your sentiments...!
