Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 365

Royal Palace.

Luo Youdu stole half a day's leisure, lying leisurely in the gazebo, drinking iced sour plum soup, the maids on both sides gently shaking their feather fans, and Zhou Ehuang gently pinched his thigh at the end of the couch.

Seeing Chou Chou who could already walk, and with Fu Qing'er's encouragement, Luo Youdu showed a happy smile as he walked little by little.

Perhaps because of living in a turbulent period, Fu Qinger's parenting philosophy is very suitable for Luo Youdu's taste.

Fu Qing'er loves Chou Chou, but she doesn't spoil her.

Since the little guy was able to walk, he often led him to walk more. Although it hurts when he fell, he was so ruthless that he let the little guy walk again by himself.

If you don't learn how to fall, how can you walk steadily?

He also said that when he reached a certain age, he would let Chou Chou practice martial arts.

It doesn't matter how powerful you are, as long as you have a good physique.

Fu Qing'er has such thoughts, Luo Youdu is relieved.

There is a certain truth in the famous saying of the ancestors that a loving mother often loses children.

As a mother, Fu Qing'er can be ruthless to train her child, and Luo Youdu fully supports it.

Which parent can not feel sorry for their children?

It's just that the way of feeling distressed is different. As his eldest son, Chou Chou bears a different burden of fate when he was born.

"His Majesty!"

Zhou Ehuang suddenly said: "The concubine has been in the palace for a long time, and I miss my little sister's father a little. I wonder if I can invite you into the palace to meet me."

Luo Youdu patted his head and said: "I was negligent. My concubine and Yuezhang depend on each other and have a deep relationship. From now on, Yuezhang and younger sister can visit the palace once a month. If there is an urgent matter, they can also enter the palace. Abuse is not allowed."

Zhou Ehuang smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

I worked harder on my hands.

Luo Youdu narrowed his eyes comfortably, remembered something, and said: "When Yue Zhang enters the palace, let him come to see me."

Feeling that the strength of Zhou Ehuang's hand was a little strange, Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I just want to ask about Li Congjia."

It has been more than two months since the enthronement ceremony, and most of the envoys from various countries left Bianjing after the enthronement ceremony.

Only Li Congjia insisted on going to Songshan Mountain today, Mount Taishan tomorrow, visiting the Longmen Grottoes today, and enjoying the scenery of the Yellow River tomorrow.

Li Congjia's reputation as the emperor of Ci through the ages is also well-deserved. From time to time, he is inspired, and it is a well-known masterpiece at his fingertips.

With that talent, the talents from the Central Plains were so overwhelmed that they couldn't hold their heads up.

Luo Youdu reads "Royal Daily" every day. Since the establishment of "Royal Daily" for more than [-] issues, Li Congjia has submitted eleven poems.

Li Congjia's poems and Zhang Qixian's stories and novels have become frequent visitors in the "Royal Daily".

It's not that Luo Youdu rejects Li Congjia, on the contrary, he is happy that this poet emperor can promote the literary atmosphere in the Central Plains.Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of this guy staying in the Central Plains and not wanting to return to the south.

For this reason, Luo Youdu specially summoned him and asked why.

Li Congjia looked embarrassed, he was neither willing to lie nor embarrassed to tell the truth.

Luo Youdu didn't force it, let him do it.

However, Li Congjia, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was unwilling to return to the south, which meant that there had been a slight change in the political arena in the south of the Yangtze River.

He made a special effort to find out, he knew the irreconcilable contradiction between Li Jing and Li Hongji, and he also understood why Li Congjia's legs were a little lame when he first met him.

History books record that Li Congjia has buck teeth on his forehead, but there is no record that he is lame...

If Li Congjia was really willing to stay in the Central Plains, he might be able to become a killer move against Jiangnan.

As for whether the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Li Congjia, it made no difference to Luo Youdu.

Now the problem in Jiangnan cannot be solved by one or two emperors. The more radical the successor is, it will only have the opposite effect.

Seeing that Chou Chou was tired, Fu Qing'er carried him into the pavilion.

Luo Youdu got up and took the little guy, and handed him the rattle that he never tires of playing.

Ugly and tenderly called out: "Daddy!"

Luo Youdu didn't care about the sweat on the little guy's face, and kissed him on the forehead.

The thin beard made the little guy look unhappy, but fortunately he had a rattle in his hand, so he didn't cry.

Fu Qing'er took a sip of sour plum juice, it was sour, she pouted, it didn't suit her taste.

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "I know you can't get used to this, so I'll ice the wine for you."

He gestured to the female officer to hand over the wine.

Fu Qing'er smiled sweetly, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

He took the handed wine and tasted it. It was indeed much better than sour plum juice. He drank it proudly, driving away a lot of summer heat.

Fu Qing'er sat down beside Luo Youdu, enjoying the rare leisure time.

It was the first time for Luo Youdu to accompany them in such a leisurely way since he ascended the throne in danger, and he cherished it very much.

The three chatted with each other about various interesting topics.

Fu Qing'er suddenly said: "I heard that His Majesty will receive a strong man in a few days? A strange man who can pull ten thousand catties of boulders?"

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "There is no such strongman, but a strange person, he is one! I am still looking forward to meeting him..."

Luo Youdu, as a descendant, knows that fighting martial arts is of course important, and the development of political, cultural and economic fields is also indispensable for a country.

No matter how powerful a country's martial arts is, if it does not have enough political, cultural and economic support, it will be like the Mongol Empire in later generations.

Can't last long, falls apart.

And as a later generation, Luo Youdu happened to know some disadvantages of this era.

Prescribe the right medicine step by step.

He Zheng was rewarded heavily, and Jin Zou Yuan was also asked to publish an award in the "Royal Daily" to stimulate the improvement of equipment technology.

The promotion of vernacular is also one of them, making learning easier.

In addition to using vernacular in the "Royal Daily", he also intended to express court documents and official memorials in vernacular.

This move inevitably caused a lot of resistance and resistance. Without the ancient articles, how can the author's cultural level be displayed?

This Han Chuang has studied hard for many years, isn't it just to compete in writing skills?
Everyone writes short essays, so what's the point of studying hard for ten years?
Luo Youdu has noticed that many temple officials have begun to resist quietly, and secretly gathered a lot of people, intending to exhort them together.

Luo Youdu was waiting for their move.

Xu Shi could see that Luo Youdu attached great importance to strange craftsmanship, and many people recommended many strange people to him to cater to his taste.

What is this real person, that master, this one who is proficient in the art of longevity, and that one who is good at the method of health preservation.

Luo Youdu completely ignored it, until Zhao Pu recommended a great monk named Huai Bing, which caught his attention.

Monk Huaibing is the Hercules in Fu Qing'er's mouth. He is from Zhending, Hebei Province. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and good at architecture.

Zhending has a thirteen-level pagoda, the middle column is broken, and the pagoda leans to the northwest.

The local people thought that the pagoda was about to fall, but the monk Huai Bing was sure that the column on the right could fully support the weight of the pagoda, so he built another pillar, replaced the bad one, and straightened the pagoda.

There is a huge boulder in the center of Zhangshui River in Jizhou, weighing about ten thousand catties.

Usually it is not in the way, but in shallow water, the boulders are like hidden reefs, and passing ships often suffer from them.

Monk Huaibing used three large boats filled with sand, tied the boulder with ropes, slowly removed the soil and rocks on the boat, and pulled the boulder out of the sand.

There were many similar rumors, and others regarded Monk Huaibing as a strange person.

When Luo Youdu heard this story, his spirits lifted. He was a master of physics with proper means, and immediately ordered him to be invited to Bianjing.

Luo Youdu explained to Fu Qing'er and Zhou Ehuang the principle of how Monk Huaibing used buoyancy to pull the ten-thousand-jin boulder out of the water.

It is a well-known truth that the cargo on this ship is heavy and the draft is deep, but the draft on the ship is shallow when there is no cargo on board.

Fu Qing'er and Zhou Ehuang were a little confused by his explanation.

Fu Qing'er laughed and said, "Is it that simple?"

Luo Youdu spread his hands and said, "It's that simple! It's not complicated at all..."

Fu Qing'er, who was originally interested in Monk Huaibing, a strong man, suddenly felt bored.

As long as you know this key point, if it's her, she can do it!

Luo Youdu didn't take it seriously, but he knew in his heart that this was the most regrettable thing in China's thousand-year history.

The ancient Chinese' understanding of the application of mechanics far exceeds that of the West for hundreds of years.

When Archimedes in the west proposed to give me a fulcrum, I could pry up the whole earth.

Mo Di has already used the principle of leverage to make a catapult for defending the city, and there are people who use the principle of leverage to fetch water...

But now, for more than 1000 years, there is no mechanical theory in the sense.

Technology is becoming more and more developed, and any catapult, strong bow and crossbow can all involve the principles of mechanics.

It can be used, and the reason is clear, but it lacks a set of rigorous logical thinking to explain these principles.

This is the biggest difference between Western culture and Eastern culture.

The West emphasizes academics, and their technological and cultural development is far slower than that of the East, but they will record the truth and study it for future generations.

The East, on the other hand, integrates many things into life and turns them into commonplaces, ignoring the most basic theoretical knowledge.

This kind of disadvantage is very fatal, and it may not be seen now.

Once entering the era of rapid development, lack of theoretical knowledge is one step slower than others.

Seeing that Fu Qing'er lost interest, Luo Youdu didn't say anything anymore. Seeing her going to pour wine again, Luo Youdu said with a smile, "Don't get drunk!"

Fu Qing'er snorted softly: "No way! Your Majesty will try it too? The wine tributed by the Uighurs in Xizhou is really good."

Luo Youdu developed a love of rice wine in this era, and had no interest in wine. Seeing Fu Qing'er's praise, he was invited to have a drink.

Although the taste is not as mellow as rice wine, it is indeed sweet and delicious, with a full fruity aroma.

"Come here, go get some wine from the wine cellar and send it to Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Pan Mei, Cao Bin..."

There are good things here, Luo Youdu usually misses his old brothers and cronies.

From time to time, they would send some tributes from all over the world to their houses.

"Daddy..."

Chou Chou seemed to have rested enough, looking at the dragonflies outside the pavilion, he could not stop calling with his fingers.

Luo Youdu held Chouchou on his neck and rushed towards the flowers...

　A hundred rewards for writing Alluring Birds, thank you for your support!
