Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 394 feast for the eyes
After dealing with the affairs at hand, Luo Youdu was a little curious when he learned that Fu Qing'er and Zhe Saihua were still in the Hall of Renming.

How good are they?
Let's talk about the old days, what time?

Luo Youdu couldn't help speeding up his pace, and deliberately didn't allow anyone to communicate.

All the way into the Hall of Renming, many court ladies in the hall chatted together in groups of three or four, seeing Luo Youdu enter without a word, they were startled at first, and then saluted one after another.

Luo Youdu asked them to get up, and asked them where Fu Qing'er and Zhe Saihua were.

The leading maid hurriedly said: "The sage and Jieyu are both in the back hall."

Luo Youdu was slightly surprised, and thought: "They won't fight!"

The courtyard at the back of the Hall of Renming was originally a small garden, where some simple exotic flowers and herbs were planted for the queen to rest and take a walk.

After Fu Qing'er entered the Hall of Renming, he revised it.

It has been changed into a small martial arts arena. When I have nothing to do, I plan to spend some time in the hall, playing with guns or practicing bows and arrows. I also want to teach him martial arts in this backyard when Chou Chou grows up.

Fu Qing'er and Zhe Saihua are both good at martial arts, Luo Youdu couldn't help but think about this together in the back hall.

He walked around from the right side of Renming Hall to the back of the hall, and before he reached the hall at the back of the hall, he heard the sound of rapid weapons clashing.

Luo Youdu has seen many people compete in martial arts, even Gao Huaide and Hu Yanzan sparring, but the girl's family has never seen the sparring, and they came to the hall quietly.

Fu Qing'er and Zhe Saihua are fighting together.

Fu Qing'er's weapon is a red-tasseled long spear, and the martial arts of Zhe Saihua is a pair of three-foot machetes.

Fu Qing'er's red-tasseled long spear is light and convenient, and the tip of the spear trembles constantly when shaken, making it difficult to figure out where the spear is poked.

Zhe Saihua's double knives are even more dexterous and brisk, one attack and one defense, one advance and one retreat, wielding it dazzlingly.

Neither of them are powerful figures, both focus on agility.

Quick steps, brisk movements...

Luo Youdu looked at Fu Qing'er's agile long legs, and at Zhe Saihua's graceful body.

Sure enough, there is no corset.

Although he doesn't have the slightest knowledge of martial arts, Luo Youdu still enjoys watching it.

Suddenly Fu Qing'er took a step back, twisted her slender waist, split her legs, and pulled out a carbine...

Luo Youdu praised it, good waist and good legs!

Fu Qing'er's waist and legs are really unique.

He has the best say on this point.

Zhe Saihua's face changed slightly, Fu Qing'er's shot was quick and urgent, although the tip of the gun was blunt, but if this shot really stabbed her body, it would have to be uncomfortable for a while.

Before he had time to think about it, he nimbly rolled and dodged to the right.

Luo Youdu stared straight at it, hey hey hey...the papaya is about to be thrown out!
With the blessing of this inertia, if a normal person turns around, she has to turn around and a half...

Zhe Saihua saw that Fu Qing'er was already a little short of breath and exhausted, so she let it go when she saw it, and said: "The sage's shot is extremely subtle, if it wasn't for his mercy, my concubine would have been defeated."

Fu Qing'er naturally knew the reason, since she was pregnant with Chou Chou, she neglected to practice martial arts and devoted all her attention to taking care of her son.

Regardless of the proficiency of the moves, or his own strength, he has regressed a lot.

On the contrary, Zhe Saihua has been practicing martial arts in Fugu, and often goes to battle with her father and brother, plundering Khitan and conquering the difficult army.

One ebbs and another, Sai Hua's martial arts at the moment is indeed slightly better than Fu Qing'er.

Fu Qing'er shook her head and said: "This way of martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Two years ago, you can still compete with your sister, but now it is much worse."

"it is good!"

Luo Youdu felt very sorry to see them stop, but still applauded for their wonderful performance.

"His Majesty?"

Fu Qing'er was slightly taken aback, they hadn't been notified in advance, and hurriedly dragged Zhe Saihua to the ceremony.

Zhe Saihua was originally a heroine in a female school, but when she saw Luo Youdu, she instantly shivered, like a little girl, her face turned red and she was at a loss.

Not for nothing.

The emperor's selection of concubines and concubines has a deep set of procedures since ancient times.

No matter if it is a noble daughter of a famous family or a daughter of a family, they have to go through a lot of screening: such as sea selection, primary selection, re-selection, selection, entry into the palace, internship, selection of three, and a set of procedures for imperial appointment.

But Zhe Saihua was canonized by Luo Youdu's decree, so naturally everything was kept simple.

However, basic rules are still required, and of course there is no need to mention etiquette.

The most important thing is to know how to serve the emperor, so there are many books with colors in the palace, and more experienced old slaves teach according to the words and deeds of the books.

Zhe Saihua is a big girl with yellow flowers. She is forced to read color books and learn various skills. She is so ashamed that she wants to find a hole in the ground and crawl in.

Seeing Luo Youdu, Zhe Saihua couldn't help thinking of the knowledge she learned this morning.

Fu Qing'er first explained: "I met the younger sister of the Zhe family today, and when I heard her talk about the situation in Fugu, I felt a little touched in my heart. I haven't used martial arts for a long time, so I couldn't help but invite the younger sister of the Zhe family to compete."

Luo Youdu didn't care at all, and said: "The empress doesn't know how to be a husband? How can she be so particular... As long as it doesn't affect others, the empress can do whatever she likes. Next time you have a discussion, you can invite me to give You are the arbitrators. Don’t think that husbands are ignorant of martial arts, but I have seen a lot of competitions between Gao Huaide, Hu Yanzan and others. The ability of this evaluation is unique. I can tell."

"Take the queen's carbine, that move is absolutely perfect!"

Do you really want him to say where?

Certainly can't tell, in that situation, who cares about moves?

Naturally, Luo Youdu would not neglect Zhe Saihua, but saw that she was reserved, so he gave her time to slow down.

Seeing Luo Youdu and Fu Qing'er talking casually, Zhe Saihua was a little envious, and let go of her uneasiness.

Luo Youdu asked: "Is everything okay in Fugu? Are father-in-law, uncle, and uncle okay?"

Strictly speaking, only one of Luo Youdu's father-in-law is Fu Yanqing.

But Luo Youdu's recognition of Zhe Dejian as his father-in-law is reasonable, and no one will go into it.

Zhe Saihua also had some warmth in her heart, and replied: "Thank you for your concern, father and elder brother are all well, and the two magic soldiers sent by your majesty, father and brother are very happy, and they can't put them down. They both show that they have received the kindness of the country and can't repay it."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "That's father-in-law, uncle's words are serious!"

The weapons he gave to Zhe Dejian and Zhe Yuxun were not ordinary weapons, but spears and swords made with the highest forging technology of this era.

Because Luo Youdu encouraged invention and production, it triggered a wave of people's improvement craze.

Of course, some improvements have a certain amount of water...

Many people took out their privately hidden technology.

Just like this smelting technology, China's smelting technology has always been at the forefront of the world.

However, the ancient Chinese had a problem, they liked to keep secrets.

I feel that if I teach the apprentice, the master will starve to death, so many skills will be brought into the coffin due to various accidents.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there was a famous swordsmith named Zhang Yajiu. He changed a new smelting technique, and the swords he forged far surpassed those of his contemporaries.

Bai Juyi even wrote poems to praise Zhang Yajiu himself.

But with his death, his improved smelting technology was lost.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains were in turmoil, and the Khitan looted the Central Plains culture, and many advanced technologies were lost for hundreds of years.

This is the case with smelting and forging technology.

In the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu wrote a seven-character poem called "Japanese Sword Song", in which there is a line "Kunwu Dao is far from being accessible, and who can cut jade handed down from generation to generation can be poor. The treasured sword has come out of Japan, and the farther away it is, the better it is."

This is a very sad thing. Japan's craftsmanship originated from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Waves of envoys to the Tang Dynasty enabled the island country to acquire advanced craftsmanship, and finally surpassed China.

However, the story of Luo Youdu's encouragement to develop craftsmanship spreads.

Zhang Yajiu's descendants handed over the skills handed down from his ancestors to the imperial court.

Luo Youdu didn't care whether Zhang Yajiu's descendants borrowed the invention of their ancestors to claim this skill, as long as the technology was advanced enough, even if it was stolen, Luo Youdu would reward it.

For example, the smelting technology provided by Zhang Yajiu's descendants, as well as the oil drilling technology provided by He Zheng, this kind of useful technology, Luo Youdu will even personally publish the award in the newspaper and give him the greatest honor.

With Zhang Yajiu's smelting technology, the annual output of imperial weapons increased by a considerable [-]%.The output of Iron Armor has also increased by two layers...

Not only has the output increased, but the quality of weapons and armor has also improved to a certain extent, making a qualitative leap.

Luo Youdu also asked the craftsmen to forge a batch of weapons according to Zhang Yajiu's steelmaking method, which was used to reward meritorious generals.

Fu Yanqing, Wang Jing, Zhe Dejian, one of the few warlords in the temple, each has one.

The word loyalty is specially engraved on the weapon.

Compared with Zhou Ehuang, Fu Qinger obviously likes Zhe Saihua more. Although they were a little conflicted at first, in terms of personality, the two are very compatible.

It can be seen from the conversation that the two have the same interests and hobbies.

After chatting for a while, Fu Qing'er let Zhe Saihua go back.

After all, it's her great day, so she can't waste time in the Hall of Renming.

Luo Youdu didn't appear to be in a hurry, but played with Chou Chou for a while, telling him about the important affairs of the court, regardless of whether he could understand.

After smearing the ink for a while, he turned to the Ciyuan Hall.

A court lady has already led Luo Youdu to Zhe Saihua's residence.

Zhou Ehuang lived in the left wing of Ciyuan Hall, Zhe Saihua chose the right wing, separated by a main hall.

"My concubine is Zheshi, I have met Your Majesty!"

Zhe Saihua shyly bowed to greet her.

"We will be a family in the future, so don't be too polite!"

Luo Youdu helped Zhe Saihua up.

This family obviously gave Zhe Saihua great courage, and said: "I am stupid, my mind is dizzy, I don't know how much to write down, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

ha?
Luo Youdu's eyes widened, is it so direct?
He also wants to talk about love, talk about love, love to the depths, or eat dinner together, and then do things again.

This is right up?
Zhesai Peanut is in Fugu, where both men and women have to practice martial arts, the place of the Four World Wars.

I have never been in touch with this aspect, and as soon as I entered the palace today, I was instilled with the knowledge of how to serve the emperor, I really thought I should do this.

So unusually direct...

Luo Youdu looked at such a straightforward beauty in front of him, what else could he say?
　Thank you for the rewards from happy bad guys and digital book friends, thank you for your support!
