In the next period of time, the economy of the entire Datang Dynasty continued to move forward. It was growing every day.
People's incomes are also getting higher and higher.
The businessmen were even more happy.
Li Shimin was also happy. Because the court received more and more tax money! The national treasury was also full! The more money the court has, the more things he can do! This is a good thing.
And some things are changing.
Because the area of Chang'an City is still expanding.
Because the economy of the original old city was so good, it continued to overflow, driving the development of other urban areas!
The current area can accommodate 30 million people.
The train station is also developing rapidly.
In particular, several bases of the Shengtang Group are developing rapidly. They have lit up the territory of Datang!
Of course, the female Tang is even worse.
After all, it is developed by the strength of a country. It has vaguely caught up with Chang'an! This is a good thing! It is also what Li Min wants!
In the recent period of Xintang, Li Min has also been secretly helping.
Therefore, the new Tang Dynasty's experience and military were leaning towards defeat.
Li Min played an extremely important role in some prosperous affairs and gave them great help! It would be wonderful to develop according to the model of Nu Tang.
Naturally, they were not lost by Li Min, and they moved forward in a wonderful way!
Li Shimin's court could live comfortably as long as it collected taxes.
Because during this period of time, many people have just started working and don’t have much to do.
Therefore, Li Shimin was free again.
Once this person is free, it is easy for him to have fun.
But being idle doesn't mean he can go out and play.
After all, there is still a lot to do.
From time to time, officials would come to the palace to look for me.
In addition, if he keeps going out, it may make the officials think that he does not take the important affairs of the country into his heart, and he will definitely talk about it when he goes to court.
That day, when he looked at the scenery outside through the window.
There was still heavy snow falling at this time, just when he was fascinated by it.
Cheng Yaojin walked in.
His expression was a bit wretched. It felt like he had found something good!
Li Shimin knew that this guy must be up to no good. This expression made him feel a little nauseous! But this is the kind of person this old brother is.
Then, Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, what do you think I brought?"
Cheng Yaojin's performance was very mysterious, which surprised Li Shimin.
"What did you bring back?" he asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, look at this!"
Cheng Yaojin took out a ball with a diameter of about 20 centimeters from behind his back. It was red in color with several lines on it, dividing the ball into eight petals. There were some words written on the large petal, which seemed to have Tang Dynasty.
Character.
Li Shimin looked at the ball and was a little surprised.
So I asked:
"What is this?" He had never seen such a thing and didn't know what it was. I'm afraid not many people in the entire palace knew about it, right?
Cheng Yaojin pretended to be mysterious.
"Guess!"
Li Shimin was unhappy when he heard this. How could he guess?
"Zhijie, what are you doing with this thing? I asked you to come back for fun, and you came back with a ball like this?"
Li Shimin doesn't have much patience.
Cheng Yaojin felt extremely depressed.
This emperor has no fun at all. Guess what will happen? Really!
"I got this from the Sixth Prince!"
Cheng Yaojin then said.
They say they were brought, but they were actually stolen.
It was stolen when no one was paying attention.
But he said he got it because of his good face.
You really don’t have any shame at all.
Li Shimin didn't care whether he stole or took.
Instead, ask: “What is this thing used for?”
"Your Majesty, this is great fun!"
"What? What's the fun in it?"
"First of all, this thing is called basketball."
It turns out that the ball in Cheng Yaojin's hand is a basketball.
"But I see that this ball is red, not blue!"
"No, no, your Majesty, what I'm talking about is the basket of baskets!"
"oh?"
"The Sixth Prince said that basketball is a hand-centered confrontational sport. People win by throwing the ball into a high basket."
"Oh? What's so fun about that, Zhijie, you don't think this thing is interesting!"
Li Shimin said.
He didn't know that basketball would be one of the most popular sports in the future world.
There are more than 1.5 billion golfers in the world.
And football is 3.5 billion.
But they don't know these things.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't tell either.
He only knows that this thing is called basketball, and he has been to the stadium to see it.
I find it very interesting and passionate.
Therefore, he stole a basketball to the palace and showed it to Li Shimin.
He wanted Li Shimin to participate in this sport.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that basketball is now the most popular sport in the Shengtang Group. On rest days or at night, thousands of people come to the stadium to play. Therefore, the Sixth Prince is also alone
One hundred basketball courts have been built! These venues are still being expanded.”
"Why is he doing this?" Li Shimin asked.
"I don't know about this, but judging from the young people's love, I think the Sixth Prince is alone just because he likes her."
Cheng Yaojin would not know that Li Min did these things for a reason.
Next came television.
Then the TV program must have a large audience.
And competition is just one of them.
Singers are naturally indispensable.
There should be movies too.
And news etc...
What he does is more diverse and the audience is more precise.
He even wants to launch a star-making campaign.
Some sports geniuses will be packaged by him.
Sports is also a business.
This expanded Shengtang Group's business volume.
Therefore, a simple basketball can bring a steady stream of wealth to Shengtang Group.
"Really?" Li Shimin became interested.
He also wants to know how this basketball is played.
Can you give him some fun?
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he became energetic.
He even started gesticulating.
"Your Majesty, look like this!"
He actually dribbled the ball, but when the ball hit the ground, it stopped bouncing.
This made Li Shimin a little surprised.
Is this how basketball is played?
"There's still this, throw it out..."
Cheng Yaojin picked up the ball and threw it hard.
That basketball was like a wild horse running wild.
flew out.
Some of the furnishings in the room were broken into pieces.
Li Shimin was a little angry.
"Zhijie, is this really how basketball is played?"
he asked back.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I may not be able to learn well, but if you give me some time, I will definitely learn it well!"
Cheng Yaojin said with a guarantee ticket.
"No need, take me to see how others play!"
Li Shimin didn't believe Cheng Yaojin.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to show off, but he was too incompetent.
