When Li Ji asked this question, everyone else present immediately turned their heads and their eyes shone a little. After Li Sheng finished talking about the two strategies to stabilize the country and rejuvenate the country, the last thing he said was "sports", which can be regarded as
Back to the original topic...which is Datang's talent training issue.
Regarding this problem, Li Sheng told a riddle, which solved the problem of mobilizing young scholars.
But... after Li Sheng mentioned that the court should not force young scholars, he finally said that there are ways to force them...
And what the imperial court could force young scholars to do was this "sports."
According to Li Sheng's description... in the eyes of Li Er and others, this sport is probably the art of riding and shooting, and it is nothing more than to make these young scholars capable of literature and martial arts. However, this kind of education has been around since ancient times, and it is not unusual at all.
, it’s just that although young scholars are scholars, they are still young people after all. If they are taught how to ride and shoot... they will inevitably get into fights, which often have bad consequences. Therefore, during the many years of Confucian development, the art of riding and shooting gradually became more and more important.
It is no longer mentioned.
Now Li Sheng says this...
Well, to be precise, it was the British Duke Li Ji who mentioned this, and everyone remembered what Li Sheng said at the end...
That’s what “baseball” is all about!
Of course, Li Sheng is not only talking about "baseball", but also "basketball", "rugby", "soccer", "volleyball"...
In short, there are all kinds of balls!
Although I don’t know why there are so many balls... but one thing, Li Er and others can see that Li Sheng is obviously trying to restart the Confucian riding and shooting education. But... thinking about it, Li Er suddenly felt
realized.
The teaching of riding and shooting can easily lead to fights and enemies among young scholars, which can lead to disasters, but...
If the weapons are replaced by the various balls Li Sheng mentioned, wouldn't this be solved...
Thinking like this, General Li Er explained his thoughts, and Wei Zheng and others suddenly realized... It would take a military genius like Li Er to see Li Sheng's intention.
This game is based on military confrontation, and organizes drills for young scholars. The purpose of organizing drills for young scholars is of course to strengthen the body and cultivate will... It plays a role in the cavalry archery that was canceled due to the need for stability.
The role of learning! At the same time, the various leather balls will not kill people as often as swords. This... can be said to be the best situation at the moment. With this kind of sports to cultivate will, and supplemented by Li Sheng
The "company" and "intellectual property rights" that we came up with... wouldn't this be a great cause of industrial upgrading?
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but become more and more excited, completely transformed...
The Tang Dynasty is already so prosperous and powerful now, and it will be completely reborn in the future... It is impossible to imagine what kind of grand occasion this will be!
However, there are also people who are not so excited and even disapprove of it, such as Li Xiaogong and Li Ji...
Although His Majesty and these old guys who are engaged in government affairs are very excited, Li Xiaogong and Li Ji... are still warriors after all, and as warriors, they are naturally concerned about these "sports" activities that use various "balls" as the medium.
No more colds.
... After thinking about it and considering it over and over again, I always feel that it is a false phoenix and a false phoenix, which is just scratching the surface. I don't use the sword, don't learn to ride and shoot, and just play with these balls... Can this train the body, liver and gallbladder? I'm afraid.
That's enough...
Of course, then again, Li Xiaogong and Li Ji have not forgotten Li Sheng's performance during the conquest of the Mobei Kingdoms. Maybe Li Sheng really has some deep meaning in it... Of course, such remarks are still far-fetched.
, after all, no matter what, Li Sheng’s achievements are there, not to mention the battle to defeat the Turks... I am afraid that in the entire history of Datang, except for the all-out war with Rome that may occur in the future, there will be no comparison.
That's an even more terrifying military achievement. But...
As professionals, Li Xiaogong and Li Ji couldn't help but continue to think about the usefulness of "sports" like football... But after thinking about it for a while, they still felt a little suspicious in their minds, and they couldn't come up with any conclusions.
, Li Ji, one of the two, suddenly felt that Li Er was staring at the two of them with great interest, and couldn't help but sit upright. Then Li Er smiled and asked, "My lord, what good plan does the Hejian County Prince have?"
About ball games..."
When Li Er said this, he actually thought of what Li Sheng said about the "team". Li Er didn't really care about this package of ball games - he followed his father Li Yuan all over the country when he was twelve years old.
, I have seen all kinds of battles on horseback, and I treat any physical confrontation with a normal attitude...
But when Li Sheng talked about these sports, he mentioned the word "team", which really interested Li Shishi. In fact...
As the head of a military aristocracy, could Li Er have a similar effect to riding and shooting education on this kind of ball game? He also had doubts in his mind. After all, the test on the battlefield was the most severe. This should be indisputable... Ball games
Exercise definitely doesn't have that effect.
but!
The reason why riding and archery is not taught is not because Li Er wants to do something to fool the people... In fact, in several powerful dynasties in ancient China, people have always been encouraged to practice martial arts. The problem lies in... young people
After people learn the power of riding and shooting, they often don't do any good deeds. They usually use it to fight and break laws and disciplines. After thinking about it...it's better not to do it.
...In fact, Hou Junji, a general of the Tang Dynasty, came to learn the art of war from Li Jing, but was rejected by Li Jing and scolded by Li Er. It is for this reason that the country is at peace. You, as an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, do not engage in economics.
Construction, what does it mean to put aside the art of war?...The reasons for this result are deep and have existed for a long time.
but!
There is no fighting with anger, and the teachings of riding and shooting... often remain on the surface. The word "sports" is a new word for Li Er just heard from Li Sheng, but he, Wei Zheng and others
, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji and others all know what it means,
I also understand in my heart that this "sports" is actually a part of culture and education. It conveys an ability that cannot be conveyed by books, that is, the ability to "transform blood into willpower." And if there is no confrontation in riding and shooting education,
Then this...
The effect of this education is gone. If it is just to cultivate the physique of scholars, it is better to organize them to help farmers...
As for the ball game Li Sheng mentioned... Li Er didn't catch a cold at all, and felt that it would either cause fights, bloodshed, illegality, or be superficial, but... Li Er was not like Li Xiaogong and Li Ji.
Both of them generally hold a negative attitude towards this.
It's because Li Sheng mentioned these ball "sports" and also mentioned "teams"!
