One Piece of Song Dynasty

After Li Xin returned to the study, he wrote down the basketball rules for later generations one by one. At night, the moonlight was shining high, and the sight was good tonight, so Li Xin took the basketball back to the Imperial Garden, touched the paint on the basketball court, and found that it had already After doing it, Li Xin patted the basketball and tried a few layups and shooting movements. It felt pretty good. Li Xin often played basketball when he was in school in his previous life, but Li Xin liked football more than basketball. That’s all.

The next day, Li Xin called the children except the eldest to the Royal Garden early: "Ahem, today my father will teach you how to play basketball. Basketball is different from football and requires so many people. A maximum of ten people are enough. Two teams 5 on 5, of course, half the game is fine if there are fewer people.

Now my father will teach you how to shoot. When deciding to shoot, the correct way is to push your feet on the ground, and then stretch your waist and abdomen. The strength of the waist and abdomen drives people's hands to exert force. While turning your wrist outwards, press the ball with your thumb, being careful not to use too much force. When the index finger and middle finger move the ball, the ball will fly out of the hand. In order to make the ball fly more steadily and further, you need to lift your heels and stretch your body naturally in the direction of the shot. Only in this way can you ensure that the basketball is thrown smoothly and effortlessly. , of course there is not only this shooting method, but also several other shooting methods, but this shooting method is the most standard. "While talking, Li Xin also made a few shooting moves, and even wanted to try a slam dunk, but maybe because of his age and lack of jumping ability, several attempts were unsuccessful, so Li Xin could only dunk. The basket was changed to a layup.

Li Xin said: "You have seen it, that is, dad is old and lacks jumping ability. Otherwise, dad can show you a slam dunk. It is relatively easy to shoot in basketball. What is not easy is to shoot in sports. After all, two When you are playing a game, the opponent cannot let you shoot safely, so come and practice shooting first."

After the princes practiced shooting for a while, Li Xin stepped forward and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, Father, I see that you all can shoot well. Come on, Father will teach you how to defend. Qingling, you can do it." The motion of shooting.”

Qingling followed the instructions and made a shooting movement, and then Li Xin explained while doing it: "After seeing that the opponent is planning to shoot, the defender can jump up and block the attacker's shooter, just like this, you understand. "

The princes nodded to express their understanding after hearing this. Li Xin handed the written rules of the basketball game to Qing Ling and said: "Second brother, you take your brothers to familiarize themselves with the rules of the basketball game, and then try to play a game."

Qingling took the paper and said, "Yes, Father."

Qing Ling took her younger brothers to familiarize themselves with the rules of the game on the basketball court. Li Xin lay down on the recliner next to him and said, "Xiao Shunzi, go call Zhang Yi and Zhao Fei, the Minister of Education."

Wang Shun, who was standing aside, turned around after receiving the order. After the princes became familiar with the rules, they divided into two teams to try to play basketball. The oldest, Li Qingling and Li Yixuan, led one team respectively.

After watching for a while, the two sides were fighting in a decent manner. At this time, after hearing the news, Zhang Yi and Zhao Fei came hand in hand. Zhao Fei was still holding a stack of paper in his hand.

Li Xin saw the two of them and said, "They are all here."

Zhang Yi looked at the princes playing basketball and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is playing something different from football."

Li Xin nodded and said: "It's different. This is called basketball. I called you here today to promote basketball. In the future, basketball will be included in the physical education classes of primary and secondary schools. There is also a basketball rules explanation and basketball gameplay instructions. Take it. , I will ask Zhao Fei to provide as many basketball and basketball court facilities as possible. Of course, they are not provided for free. The Ministry of Education needs to pay for them. You can rest assured that the price will not be high."

Zhang Yi bowed and said, "Yes, I obey your order."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, you can first see how my princes play basketball and then go back and promote it."

Zhang Yi was watching the princes playing basketball, while Li Xin said to Zhao Fei: "The financial reports of the twenty royal groups are ready."

Zhao Fei handed the stack of papers he was holding to Li Xin and said, "Your Majesty, it's ready."

Li Xin took it and read it carefully. Through the financial report, Li Xin could see that among the twenty royal groups under him, the real money makers were mainly Bandai, Shipbuilding, Grain and Oil, Yuxin, Construction, Chemical Industry, Steel, Fengxiang, Xingchen, There are fifteen groups including paper industry, wine industry, perfume industry, newspaper industry, Tianlai industry, and pharmaceutical industry. Among them, the most profitable are eight groups including grain and oil, Yuxin, construction, chemical industry, steel, Fengxiang, wine industry, and perfume industry, and the rest Seven groups can only make a small profit or break even, while the remaining five groups that lose money have little or no output and only input. There is no way that the electric power and train industries have just begun, and there is still some time before they can achieve great development. Time, but once these two industries develop, there will definitely be no problem making money, especially the power industry. As for the mining group, Li Xin currently does not develop much domestic mining. Li Xin’s goal is more foreign minerals. Resources, after all, it is the last word to use foreign resources to develop yourself. Domestic resources should be left to future generations as much as possible.

Of course, regardless of the fact that the royal industry makes a lot of money and invests a lot in technology research and development, especially several military and industrial groups and several research institutes under Li Jing, there is actually not much money left, but Li Xin except this The twenty royal groups actually have another financial source, which is the maritime trade fleet under the command of the old butler Li An.

The Royal Sea Trade Fleet can be said to be the largest of all sea trade fleets in the Tang Dynasty. It consists of hundreds of large-scale ships, forty Clipper III-type armed transport ships and sixty Clipper-type II armed transport ships. A huge armed merchant fleet can bring very considerable profits to Li Xin every year, but this part of the money is Li Xin's spare funds. If there is a gap in the court's funds, Li Xin will use this part of the funds to fill the gap in the court.

After reading the financial report, Li Xin asked: "I wonder how the steel group's annual steel output is only two million tons? Doesn't the steel group have three open-hearth furnaces now? I remember the eldest princess said that the annual steel output of one open-hearth furnace can reach one million tons. .”

Zhao Fei replied: "It should have been like this. The main reason for the low output is that we have insufficient raw materials. Currently, there are few minerals mined in the country, and the ore sources mainly rely on imports from foreign countries, so the annual steel output is so small."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, I understand. I really don't blame you for this. Although there are many domestic resources, we should try to import from abroad as much as possible. We can't just consider the present, but also consider the future generations. Resources If we can keep it for our children and grandchildren, we must pay attention to sustainable development and produce less.”
