Several other ball games seem to be similar to rugby.
But it's the same ball, but the other balls are different.
Baseball is relatively easy to handle. According to Li Sheng, there are three main types of equipment used.
One is of course wooden sticks. This is very easy to buy. You can buy it anywhere in China... No, where can you not buy wooden sticks?
The second thing is this ball. As long as the texture of a baseball is pliable and strong, it can be used and it won't be a problem.
The third is a special "glove". It is said to be a glove...According to the understanding of Li Er, Li Ji and other military elites, the thing Li Sheng mentioned is more like a kind of leather glove, and it should be made generous.
It is huge and strong, like the palm of a giant, and is specially used to catch the ball - it requires the use of leather, which costs some money, much more than making a ball.
But after all, it’s not much, so it’s a trivial matter.
Li Er is quite optimistic about this baseball. Nowadays, Antai in the Tang Dynasty, from his heart, does not want the young people in the middle school to be brave and fierce. After all, China has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and all kinds of
The Major is running rampant and it’s time to stop. In fact...
In the Tang Dynasty in Li Sheng's memory, Li Er once gave Hou Junji a serious lesson because he wanted to learn the art of war from Li Jing. Of course... in Li Sheng's era, Hou Junji had long been dismissed along with the aristocratic family.
Gradually eliminated, and disappeared before any news could be published.
But... on the other hand, Li Er didn't want the young people of the Tang Dynasty to become a bunch of rotten scholars. Otherwise, how could they withstand a fight with the Romans? In other words, they still had to practice martial arts.
After thinking about it... ball games are of course the first choice. But...
What can be seen with the naked eye is that although rugby is very good, the confrontation is fierce, and it is suitable for young people to exercise their physical strength and willpower. However... it always lacks some willpower. After all, playing rugby requires armor, but it is unarmed.
How could the young people of the Tang Dynasty not know how to wield a sword? This is not good.
Li Er naturally intended to ban civilians from holding swords, but as mentioned above, it is important to prevent military talents from causing trouble, but it is also important to encourage people to practice swordsmanship - Li Er hates the idea of choosing the lesser of two evils.
kind of thing, but now...
With baseball, this dilemma is solved at the same time - according to Li Sheng's description of baseball, the action of swinging and hitting the ball is simply an excellent way to practice sword skills, reaction, strength... everything can be practiced
arrive!
Even...combined with the results of the competition at the martial arts field, Li Er guessed that maybe the level of sword swing practiced with baseball is even better than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners...
But regardless of whether it is more powerful or not, this baseball is definitely worth promoting - and it is conceivable that it will definitely become popular.
This is not the case for other items, such as "football" and "basketball" as mentioned by Li Sheng. These two things require that the ball must be of extremely high quality, and it is better to be able to bounce on the ground, because it can bounce.
The ball is more difficult to control and has more depth. This allows the boys of Datang to play happily and for a long time, improve their physical fitness, and at the same time improve their running speed and coordination ability.
But this bouncing ball is not easy to make...
Li Er is very concerned about this matter. After all, although this matter does not directly affect the quality of the Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, it will undoubtedly affect the quality of the Forbidden Army's sources - in other words, it will still affect the quality of the Forbidden Army, so in the palace... Li Er
We also mobilized many servants to collect various leathers and fillings to trial-produce balls, but the results were not very satisfactory.
But now that Li Sheng suddenly mentioned this matter, Li Er felt quite helpless. He was trying hard to think about how to manage the Panyu area, and this guy seamlessly connected with the ball... Obviously, this bastard kid really took himself seriously.
He is a merchant from Chang'an and is too lazy to talk about this important national event...
However, when it comes to ball games and sports, Li Er also knows that he must really put his heart into it. But...
As Li Sheng talked, he revealed a shocking news.
"...Hey, Lao Li, I have a business here that will definitely make huge profits...I really wouldn't tell the average person!"
Li Sheng discussed various ball games with great interest, and seemed to be very concerned about the physical training of young people in the Tang Dynasty - in fact, Li Sheng had not played for a long time, and his hands were itchy - but when he said this, Li Er
He immediately became interested and couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of business is this? I hope you will give me some advice!"
In fact, of course it was Li Er who guessed that Li Sheng was going to talk about ball-making and ball-playing, and that he would probably gain something from it, so he deliberately let it slip.
When Li Er asked this question, everyone on the side couldn't help but look at Li Er subconsciously... I don't understand how his majesty's thoughts were really led by Li Sheng. This is not about managing the South China Sea.
?this……
These two men are really, really...
However, although Wei Zheng and others were not very fond of this ball game, they were still aware of its far-reaching impact, so they started to listen attentively.
Upon hearing this... Li Sheng glanced at everyone with squinted eyes, and then suddenly smiled, "This bouncing ball... I actually made it out recently, hehe..."
"Although it has some flaws, it is still a ball that can bounce..."
When Li Sheng talked about this, he felt bursts of excitement in his heart, because there is no doubt that... the ball itself is actually not that important, even for Li Sheng... Of course, in later generations, Li Sheng will also play sports, but not
Li Sheng plays basketball, but Li Sheng plays football, and football doesn't really require a lot of play.
For example, the famous national football player Gao Taiwei was able to kick a ball made of pig urine into flowers. He even became famous because of this and became a national pillar who will be remembered forever.
but!
...It doesn’t matter whether the ball bounces Q or not, but the technique of Q bounce is very important!
At present... Li Sheng didn't know without asking. He was shocked when he asked - the students at Lingzhou College, especially the team led by Wei Ziyu, did something that was not famous last year.
, but in Li Sheng’s view, it was simply big news that shocked the past and the present: Wei Ziyu built a small internal combustion engine.
Originally... Li Sheng's internal combustion engines were all for marine use. As for the internal combustion engines for cars... Due to various limitations, Li Sheng thought it might take several years, or even ten years, to make them. However...
I'm just stunned, Wei Ziyu really made that thing.
Although it is far from the performance and lightness of the agricultural single-cylinder diesel engines of later generations, it is a finished product after all... If you think about it, it can really be made into a car!
But that's where the problem lies.
Ancient cars... had no tires.
There are wheels, but no tires! So the internal combustion engine can't cope with it. This is the dilemma.
