Tang's dining table

Chapter 196 Crazy Polo

Naha has recently taken a liking to polo.

It is a game in which two groups of people ride horses and hold sticks to compete for a wooden ball to see who can smash the wooden ball into the hole.

Now, the problem is out, no one wants to play polo with Naha.

In fact, the problem is not like this. It should be said that people who ride horses are not willing to play polo with Naha, whether it is playing polo with two holes or playing polo with a hole in the middle.

Those who were willing to play polo with Naha did not have horses, and although they expressed their willingness to run on the ground, Naha was not willing.

The culprit of this incident was actually Yu Xiurong. She had nothing to do so she took her sister-in-law to the Yu family to report the news of her marriage.

When the Yu family heard that Yu Xiurong was getting married, and the man was still the famous disaster star Yun Chu, no one expressed any bad opinions.

Naha is a Buddhist daughter, and there is no point in worrying about status. Therefore, she can't comment on Yu Xiurong's husband, let alone the group of young women from Naha's Yu family, so she encourages Yu Xiurong to play polo with them.

Then, after Naha discovered polo, she was so envious that she rode on a black horse and took her own stick on the field.

Then, those women rode the horses that were specially trained for their daughters to play polo and ran away.

There are only two horses in the Yun family's stable, and the other horses are kept at Liu Yi's house. It's not that the stable at home can't accommodate it, but that there are simply no other horses willing to stay in the same stable as the bay horse and the black horse. .

The Wuzui horse was originally a mare with a fairly docile temperament. Since being locked up with the bay horse, her temper has gradually deteriorated. She bites, kicks, and whips the horse with her tail. She has learned all these bad habits.

The Yu family's women's horses are all short prairie horses, and they have long since lost any ferocity after being disciplined by the grooms. Now when they see a ferocious tall horse like Wu Zui Ma, they will naturally turn around and run away.

As a result, the polo game that Naha was looking forward to came to an end.

It was really pitiful to see little lady Naha holding her head and crying while peeking at her brother's expression through her fingers.

Liu Yi, the number one loser of the Yun Sect in Jinchangfang, hurriedly added: "Miss Naha has always been well-behaved, but what she wants now is just a stadium and twenty polo horses. Why bother to make her sad for these things? ?”

Yun Chu raised his head and looked at the man in front of him who was still worried about tens of pennies three years ago. Now, he wants to buy a mere twenty polo horses that are useless except playing polo. This change is really It can be called earth-shaking.

"With the stadium and the pony, what should we do if there is no one to play with her?"

Liu Yi smiled proudly and said: "There are more than 6,000 people in Jinchangfang, and the most indispensable thing is people who are willing to play with Miss Naha."

Yun Chu pointed at Naha again and said, "She doesn't know how to play polo."

Gongsun, who was sewing at the same time, said without raising his head: "I can do it. Even if I can't, I can go to Pingkangfang and ask two nuns who specialize in teaching women to play polo. I know a few very powerful ones." Mammy Polo.”

Yun Chu said: "There are still such talents in Pingkangfang?"

Gongsun bit off the silk thread on his hand, shook it and didn't know what the embroidery was, and said proudly: "Specializes in teaching women fencing, sword dancing, archery, martial arts, wrestling, equestrian, driving, swinging, swimming, and climbing. There are many female nuns in the mountain, and among them there is a nun who specializes in skirt legs. I heard that she is very fierce." (Don't think I am talking nonsense, they all have clear origins, except skirt legs.)

After hearing what Gongsun said, Yunchu felt that it wouldn't cost much, so he allowed Liu Yi to handle it directly. By the way, he also invited the powerful polo nun Gongsun said to come over.

Naha burst into tears and smiled. Seeing the child smiling, Yunchu couldn't help but smile like an old father.

Then, he forgot about this matter and concentrated on checking whether Wu Mei could become the queen this time.

Rumor has it that Brother Wenrou has been very excited these days, thinking that he had succeeded in impeaching Magistrate Zheng and the private salt dealers in Shannan East Road.

After asking about it, I found out that Wu Mei's matter had become a big deal this time. In the Tang Dynasty, there were only seven prime ministers, and six of them had a relatively clear attitude.

Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan, and Lai Ji directly expressed their fierce opposition. Although Changsun Wuji and Yu Zhining did not express their positions clearly, they obviously chose to stand against the emperor.

In addition, Cui Zhongli, the servant, is about to die, so you can simply ignore it.

If Li Ji, the last prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, came forward to object again, it would not only be a question of whether Wu Mei could become the queen, but also a question of whether she would be sent to Ganye Temple to practice Buddhism again.

Brother Rumor is gentle and has definitely believed that Wu Mei will face failure this time and will be expelled from the palace.

He was even always ready to join the imperial censors in impeaching the sycophantic minister Xu Jingzong who said, "Farmers who have harvested a few bushels of wheat are thinking of getting a bride, let alone the royal family."

Seeing Wen Wen's excited look, Yun Chu was very disapproving because Li Ji had already expressed his attitude. This was a private royal matter and he was not prepared to express his opinion.

In fact, among these people, there are only two people who can really influence Li Zhi's thoughts, one is Changsun Wuji, and the other is Li Ji, who represents the military.

As long as there is support from either of these two people, there is no doubt that Li Zhi will directly depose the queen and elevate Wu Mei to the position of queen.

Who knows, after this matter got stuck here, it got stuck here. Soon it seemed like it was blown away by the wind. The emperor stopped mentioning it, and the ministers obediently stopped discussing it.

Because Goguryeo and Baekje jointly began to attack Silla.

Six envoys from King Jin Chunqiu of Silla gathered in Chang'an, hoping that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty would send troops to save Silla from the fire and water.

Just when everyone thought that the emperor would raise troops to conquer Goguryeo on the grounds that he would not be deposed.

Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty wrote an edict to the Japanese king, ordering him to immediately raise an army to conquer Baekje and save Silla from the fire.

For a time, Chu Suiliang and others, who did not want the emperor to send troops to conquer Goguryeo, specially sent a congratulatory form to the emperor, praising the Yellow Emperor's wisdom.

"It's a pity that for the sake of the overall situation, we didn't expel Wu Mei, the fox who was causing chaos in the harem, to Ganye Temple in one go. God is really helping her."

Regarding Brother Liuyan's indignation, Yun Chu felt that he should not feel too good about it, so he advised him: "In case Wu Mei becomes the queen, when you kneel down to worship her at the queen's canonization ceremony in the future, and think of what you just said, you will feel Ashamedly, at present, only I hear these words, it doesn't matter.

After all, we have said some more shameful things together. Please don’t say them to others. At that time, you will have no chance to be a good person. "

Wen Wen still wanted to refute Yun Chu's words, but after all, he still had some education and wisdom, so he obediently shut his mouth and prepared to wait until everything was settled before talking.

"I heard that it only cost 860 yuan to build a polo field in Youdi in Jinchangfang?"

Yun Chu, who had just taken a sip of water, spat out the half-drunk water with a puff.

After coughing for a long time, he said: "Does it cost eight hundred and sixty dollars to build a polo field?"

Wen Wen took out her handkerchief and wiped the tea foam on her face and said: "Any venue can be used as long as it is leveled, it doesn't cost anything.

But the polo field you built in Jinchangfang is an oil field. To build this kind of field, you must first dig three feet into the ground, replace it with three-component soil mixed with sand, white ash, and clay, spread it on the ground, and tamp it down hard. .

Then lay fine loess that has been sifted through a sieve on top. After each layer of loess is laid, tung oil must be poured on the loess, and then tamped down. Continue sprinkling loess, continue pouring oil, and continue sprinkling loess. This process has ten steps in total.

The last layer of loess is mud mixed with tung oil. It is laid flat on the ground and scraped. After the tung oil dries, fine grinding stones are used to find hundreds of skilled craftsmen lying on the ground to grind all the rough and uneven ground. It is not a good polo field until the light can be seen. "

Listening to the gentle explanation, Yun Chu felt that his heart was beating hard. A long time ago, when he was laying plastic tracks for community sports venues, he thought it was a waste of national funds.

Now, he actually spent his own money to build a high-standard golf course in Datang...

"Don't be anxious, I just want to ask, how did you spend less than a thousand dollars to build a golf course?

My family also has a semi-oil field stadium. This semi-oil field stadium cost our family more than 1,100 yuan. The old housekeeper also said that the paving of this stadium is cheap.

I've been to see your all-oil golf course. It's really impressive. Why is it so expensive? "

Yun Chu gritted his teeth and remained silent. Isn't this cheap?

Liu Yi, a thief, must have used Jinchangfang's money in his name. The craftsmen in Jinchangfang worked for him, so they basically had no wages. They were given bamboo chips from some big canteens.

All materials come from suppliers on the Guangfufang construction site. The price of these materials must be a cost price, and some may be half sold and half given away.

Even so, Liu Yi, a dog thief, still spent eight hundred and sixty dollars, not counting the horses, sticks, and saddles, as well as the money and food from the polo nuns, as well as the subsequent maintenance of this stadium and the following polo games. team money.

In other words, this bastard Liu Yi organized a team for Naha and built a new stadium.

Could it be said that the Yun family is already rich enough to support a team?

There were many polo teams in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ji's family had one, Cheng Yaojin's family had one, Su Dingfang's family had one, Liang Jianfang's family had one, Li Shen's family had one, and even Yu Xiurong's natal family had one...

They like to play polo, and secondly, they also like to gamble money through polo. The last time they saw Liang Jianfang playing with Su Dingfang's polo team, Liang Jianfang lost a thousand acres of land in one breath.
