In the next few days, the Nine Guards of the Imperial Guards were like crazy.

They had just come into contact with polo, football and rugby, and started fighting in their own army.

It is impossible for money to please everyone, so it is absolutely impossible for a person to like everyone.

Similarly, it is impossible for everyone to like a game.

Even in the army, it is impossible for everyone to like rough and direct football.

Many sergeants like elegant polos that can show equestrianism.

There are also many sergeants who like football that pays more attention to skills.

However, these three are almost men's favorite sports and have satisfied most of the imperial guards.

Even the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who have always been away from the edge of the Nine Guards of the Imperial Guards, have formed more than a dozen teams in the past few days, and are training hard.

For a moment, there were scenes of people surging and horses everywhere in the military camps inside and outside the imperial capital.

Even if they are all from the same army, they still compete with each other. Everyone is willing to win the greatest victory and receive the highest attention.

It is said that the leaders of the Nine Guards of the Imperial Guards secretly encouraged their people, asking them to win the first place in the competition and add luster to their first army.

Therefore, internal selection alone is very intense, and a player is always raised, but it cannot reduce everyone's enthusiasm at all.

They were like they had chicken blood, so the students of the Legalists would have worked hard.

Not only were the twenty or so Legal students who came that day scrambled to hire by the Imperial Guards, but even some of the Legal students who did not go there that day were snatched away.

Many people only held the rule-printed version written by Liu Mingqi on the way to the competition venue. It was completely a matter of sharpening the gun at the last minute. It was naturally impossible to enforce the law very well if they went there.

The players are novice and the referees are also novice, which really made a lot of jokes.

However, after a few days of running-in, both the imperial guards in the competition and the Legal students who serve as referees have become more and more profound in their understanding of the rules.

As a result, the viewing of the game has increased greatly, and more and more imperial guards have begun to watch and even strongly demand that they join in.

If the Legal students hadn't firmly opposed playing games at night, so as not to die suddenly, they would have wished they would have had two games at night.

The Imperial Guards are in the Gyeonggi area, and their movements naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Jing Hedi himself also found it strange.

After he went to see three ways of competition in person, he went back and thought it was quite interesting, and he took the time to watch another football match the next day.

Even the emperor is like this, not to mention the officials, nobles and royal families.

Their identities ensured that they could enter the imperial guards' camp.

The civil servants are generally not very interested, and after watching it a few times, many of them are not coming.

But the children of the royal family are different from the nobles. They are already idle and have nothing to do.

Seeing such an interesting game, they wanted to participate.

Of course, the Nine Guards of the Imperial Guards said that we are not willing to take you together, because not only are you physically rubbish, but you also dare not take serious measures against you. Such a game is meaningless.

The only one who is not trash is Prince Yi, Liu Mingjing, but he was rejected on the grounds of "destroying the balance within the field".

What a joke!

An animal like Xiong Dabao is already blocked by thousands of people in the rugby game. If you join Liu Mingjing, who is stronger than Xiong Dabao, what else do you want to play?

Liu Mingjing was very dissatisfied with this and ran to Liu Mingqi's home to complain.

When he saw Liu Mingqi, he found that Liu Mingqi was fiddling with the wheels of the carriage.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Liu Mingjing asked in surprise.

"Are you going to the gate of hell soon? You have to take a carriage on the way. I'll see if the carriage can be more comfortable to drive so as not to suffer from his butt." The boy said calmly.

"Tsk, except for water, there are only twenty miles of land. Wouldn't it be enough to ride a horse?" Liu Mingjing laughed after saying that, "By the way, I forgot that you don't ride a horse often, and it will hurt even if you grind it."

People who often ride horses must have their inner thighs worn out and become good, and they will rot when they are good. In the long run, a layer of calluses will form, so that they will not hurt if they ride horses for a long time.

A prince like Liu Mingqi will naturally not work so hard, so riding a horse for a long time is even more torture for him.

"roll!"

The boy continued to apply something to the wheel, and a strange fragrance came from the air.

Liu Mingjing was not interested in this, so he talked about the game and finally complained: "Mingqi, tell me, why can't I go? Isn't it enough for them to let Xiong Dabao play against me?"

"Does every team have a Xiong Dabao?" Liu Mingqi sneered, "If someone like you goes up, you will be Fei Luo, which completely destroys the balance of the game."

"Fat Luo?" Liu Mingjing looked at himself, "I'm not fat."

"This is an adjective." Liu Mingqi, who said it casually, changed the topic, "But there is no hope for rugby, you can play polo! Or soccer is OK. Anyway, as long as you bump into it, you will immediately foul, and you won't dare to do it a few more times."

"How could I play football? It's a manly person!" Liu Mingjing said angrily, "That's it that polo can still be seen... Alas! It's still a good time for this kind of hand-to-hand impact!"

Dazhu is already a bug, Xiong Dabao is even more buggy than him, but Liu Mingjing is better than Xiong Dabao.

Such a person is definitely invincible when he is placed in the imperial guards, and the generals who act as a vanguard battalion are absolutely invincible. The barbarians in the northwest and northeast cannot compete with him.

Unfortunately, he was born in a royal family and was also a prince. He had no hope of leading the army in his life, even if he was a soldier.

So when he saw such a game, he suddenly had a desire to participate, hoping to be recognized in such a fierce game so that people in the world can know their bravery.

Seeing Liu Mingjing leaving dejectedly, Liu Mingqi had no choice.

Not to mention Liu Mingjing, I am a saint who "sacrifices my life for righteousness". However, the imperial court never thought of letting me exert some strength in the temple. Isn't this also because of my identity as a royal family?

Although the young man himself was unwilling to get involved in these intrigues, it was my own business to whether he wanted to go. Whether he wanted to invite me was a question of your attitude.

But that's fine.

Let me do what I like to do happily and live a leisurely life happily, which is also a good life that will never be exchanged for money.

In life, the most important thing is to be able to comfort yourself.

Once you think about it, there will be nothing to do.

Liu Mingqi then devoted herself to her continued work.

What he is experimenting now is how to make ordinary iron wheels more elastic and tough, so that they can fully exert the shock absorption effect when passing through the road.

Everyone knows that the best vehicle shock absorption method, in addition to tuning the system and physical angle, is the first element of the use of rubber products.

To put it bluntly, it means using rubber tires.

Without rubber tires, there are only four iron wheels running on the road, and you have to run on the bumpy mountain roads. The sourness and pleasure in it can be chilled even if you think about it.

Why did so many people in ancient times want to sit in a slow and boring sedan chair?

Isn’t it because of the comfort of the sedan that defeats everything?

The boy didn't like riding a horse because it was exactly what Liu Mingjing said. It was okay to ride slowly. After riding a horse for a long time, he could only move his feet slowly after he got off. It would be enough to taste it once.

Thinking of the disadvantages of riding a carriage, even if he doesn't have the power to use it now, Liu Mingqi also wanted to improve the shock absorber system of the carriage.

But finding rubber is an impossible task at present.

The territory and location of the Dakang Dynasty were exactly the same as those of our country in its previous life.

The origin of rubber is in South America, that is, the tropical rainforest area. Natural rubber trees are basically concentrated in the 7 million square kilometers of Amazon rainforest.

The Amazon rainforest is almost the fifth largest country in the world. This shows why the fire that has been burned for a year has not burned it all out. It is because the area is too large.

Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and other countries are all around the Amazon rainforest, so they all have rubber trees.

Especially Brazil and Peru, the two countries account for almost 80% of the best three-leaf rubber trees.

The three-leaf rubber tree is a natural treasure. It is huge in size and can be used for rubber production for up to 30 or 40 years. Among the latex secreted, fifty percent of the rubber is of good quality rubber.

So when French adventurers brought this latex back to France, after a lot of research in the laboratory, the use of rubber was increasingly developed, making it an indispensable tool in industrial production.

As a result, people's demand for trileaf rubber trees surged, Brazil and Peru made great money.

In addition to natural growth, artificial cultivation still requires the same living environment and can only be planted in similar areas.

Until Liu Mingqi traveled through time, the two countries still made great profits based on rubber trees, which was unique.

Let’s talk about the topic.

Three-leaf rubber trees need a high humidity environment, rich and even rainfall, and sufficient sunlight is needed. Amazon rainforest is the most suitable, but many places in Southeast Asia are also good.

For example, Malaysia, after transporting three-leaf rubber trees from Brazil in the 18th century, it quickly began to plant and develop, and even became a new rubber kingdom.

The problem is that Liu Mingqi can't even go to sea now. Even if there are really three-leaf rubber trees in Malaysia, he can't get them.

Even the biggest possibility is that Malaysia has no three-leaf rubber trees at all now. The three-leaf rubber trees are the ones that the Sun never sets. The Empire is interesting to expand the new rubber plantation base, so it took a lot of effort to transport the three-leaf rubber trees from Brazil.

Are ordinary people so idiots? They don’t pull some gold, silver and jewelry thousands of miles away, but pull dozens of trees?

This is how crazy!

If the sun had not set, there were global colonies and colonies all over the world, and Malaysia was similar to the Brazilian rainforest, they would not have been mobilized by such labor.

Therefore, if Liu Mingqi wants to improve the shock absorption system of the carriage, she can only find another way.

He first used bamboo slices soaked in tung oil and embedded them on the surface of the wheel.

The effect is pretty good for a moment, but if you are driving for more than a few hundred meters, gravity and friction will deform and damage the bamboo sheets and be completely destroyed.
