Chapter 688: A weapon against nobles from aristocratic families!
On the second day, Lin Fan found Emperor Chongzhen, Li Jiantai, Ni Yuanlu and others, and concealed the golf ball in front of them.
Snapped!
Lin Fan could make the ball go into the hole every time he played, but Emperor Chongzhen, Li Jiantai, Ni Yuanlu and others could not make the ball go into the hole no matter how many times they played.
"Fan'er, what kind of game is this? Did you invent it?
Why can’t I get in even if I wait?”
Emperor Chongzhen looked puzzled.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Father, this game is called golf. It is a sport that can cultivate sentiments. It is most suitable for people of your age to play."
"This ball does not have to be hit in one go. You can hit it with two or more people. Each person has a ball. The goal is the same. Each person takes over with one stroke to see who uses the least number of strokes to get the ball into the hole.
, it’s considered a victory.”
kindness!
After hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Emperor Chongzhen, Li Jiantai and others' eyes lit up. The game that had seemed so difficult to play just now became a lot more interesting at this moment.
"Fan'er, please get out of the way first and let me have a good try."
Emperor Chongzhen, Li Jiantai, Ni Yuanlu and others began to chase the ball all over the world. In the end, Emperor Chongzhen naturally hit the ball into the hole first.
Emperor Chongzhen laughed excitedly. Lin Fan saw these people having so much fun playing it for the first time, and became even more confident that this game would definitely become a hit.
"Haha! Fan'er, this game is really fun! If the common people know about this game, it will definitely spread among the people!"
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.
Lin Fan looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Father, this game is not something ordinary people can afford."
"kindness?
Fan'er, didn't you think before that even ordinary people need to be respected?
Why are you saying now that this game is not affordable for ordinary people?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lin Fandao with a puzzled look.
"Father, haven't you ever thought about a question?
You just ran after the ball for who knows how many miles, and here, there are thousands of square meters at least!"
"And a complete golf course, which can accommodate most people, is at least a dozen or even hundreds of miles long!"
"So, the construction cost will be very high. The construction cost is very high, which means that if you go in and play once, you will need a lot of money!"
"Not only that, these golf clubs and golf balls require special manufacturing. The high cost means that the selling price is also high!"
"So, this game itself is not something ordinary people can play."
Lin Fan explained.
After hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Emperor Chongzhen nodded seriously. He handed the clubs to Ni Yuanlu and others and asked them to play, but Emperor Chongzhen pulled Lin Fan aside.
"Fan'er, my father told you, this kind of game is indeed fun, but it can't be promoted to all the people, so what's the point?"
"You must first do more things that allow the people to participate. Only in this way will the people remember you and have a good impression of you!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
After hearing this, Lin Fan was speechless for a while. Don't the people have a good impression of him now?
I am afraid that the people of the entire Ming Dynasty respect themselves the most at this time.
"Father, these things you mentioned are all trivial. This golf game can bring endless benefits to our Ming Dynasty."
Lin Fan said.
"What's the benefit?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"Father, in our Ming Dynasty, the most difficult people to deal with now are the aristocratic families, and this game is just for those aristocratic families."
Lin Fan explained.
"For them?"
Emperor Chongzhen was even more curious.
"Of course it is prepared for them. The cost of this game is high, and my selling price will naturally be high. When the time comes, I will build a large golf course outside the capital!"
"Those nobles from aristocratic families go to play, and we make money from them. Moreover, as you can see, this game is very fun. Those nobles from aristocratic families only need to play it once, and they will come back again in the future!"
"They have a hobby, and it is a hobby that is different from ordinary people. This not only reflects their sense of superiority, but also makes them more stable."
"Father, what do you think?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"This... Fan'er, what you said makes sense. Why didn't my father think of it?"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes showed surprise.
If nothing else, I like this game very much. Those nobles from aristocratic families will definitely like it. If they have a hobby, they will naturally not be able to figure out the rebellion.
Moreover, with a large amount of money spent on this, their Ming Dynasty's finances will become better and better.
"Fan'er, I'll leave this matter to you. My request is that there can't be just one golf course, but many golf courses!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Yes! Father!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
After this matter was finalized, Lin Fan went back and found someone to build a golf course. When the nobles of the aristocratic families heard about this, they all observed it secretly.
"what's the situation?
Our Prince of the Ming Dynasty does not care about national affairs now, but instead cares about a game!"
"What kind of golf ball is this? It's probably similar to Cuju, haha! Does Cuju need such a big place?"
A yard will do!”
"It's different this time. I got news from the Ministry of War. Li Jiantai, Minister of the Ministry of War, played this game in the palace. I'm still talking about it these days."
"This game is said to be a game for nobles, and ordinary people cannot afford to play it."
"What! This is a game that belongs to the nobility and ordinary people can't afford it?
Haha! This dog prince, doesn’t he advocate equality for all?
Why did you develop a game for us?"
"Haha! This shows that this dog prince also realizes the power of us nobles, so he wants to win over us!"
"Hmph! It's not that easy to win over us. If there's nothing fun about this game, we will never buy it!"
"It's absolutely fun. It is said that this game was just invented and the first one to play it was our Emperor!"
"Oh! His Majesty the Emperor has already experienced it, haha! Then this game is really a noble game. Even if it is not fun, we still have to play it!"
"Yes, as long as you play this game, you will be on the same page as His Majesty!"
For a time, the nobles of the aristocratic family were all excited, and they all wanted to try this game that even Emperor Chongzhen found fun.
The golf course on Lin Fan's side was also built very quickly, taking only three days to complete.
