Luo Youdu had half a day to spare, lying leisurely in the pavilion, drinking ice-cold sour plum soup, while the palace maids on both sides gently shook their feather fans, and Emperor Zhou E gently squeezed his thigh at the end of the couch.
Seeing Chou Chou, who could already walk, walking bit by bit with Fu Qing'er's encouragement, Luo Youdu showed a happy smile.
Perhaps because she was living in a turbulent period, Fu Qing'er's parenting philosophy suited Luo Youdu very well.
Fu Qing'er loves Chou Chou, but doesn't dote on him.
Since the little guy can walk, I often lead him to walk more. Although I feel sad when he falls, I am also determined to let the little guy walk on his own again.
If you don’t learn, how will you fall, and how will you keep walking steadily?
He also said that when he reaches a certain age, he should let Chou Chou practice martial arts.
You don’t need to be very powerful, as long as you have a good body.
Luo Youdu was relieved that Fu Qing'er had such thoughts.
There is a certain truth in the famous saying of our ancestors that a loving mother will often fail her children.
As a mother, Fu Qing'er is able to train her children ruthlessly, and Luo Youdu fully supports it.
What parent can't help but feel sorry for their children?
It's just that the way of feeling distressed is different. As his eldest son, Chou Chou was born with a different burden of fate.
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Zhou E suddenly said: "I have been in the palace for many days, and I miss my little sister's father. I wonder if I can invite him to the palace to see him."
Luo Youdu slapped his head and said: "I was negligent. My beloved concubine and her father-in-law are dependent on each other and have a deep relationship. From now on, my father-in-law and my younger sister can visit the palace once a month. If there is an emergency, they can also enter the palace, and they are not allowed to abuse it."
Emperor Zhou E smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
I worked harder on my hands.
Luo Youdu narrowed his eyes comfortably, remembered something, and said: "When my father-in-law enters the palace, let him come to see me."
Feeling that the strength of Emperor Zhou E'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. Most of the envoys from various countries left Bianjing after the enthronement ceremony.
Li Congjia was the only one who refused to leave. Today he went to Songshan Mountain, tomorrow he went to Taishan Mountain, today he visited Longmen Grottoes, and tomorrow he enjoyed the scenery of the Yellow River. He felt very happy and reluctant to miss the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Congjia, the eternal emperor of Ci, is well-deserved. From time to time, he gets inspired and writes a popular masterpiece at his fingertips.
That kind of talent overwhelmed the talents of the Central Plains to the point where they couldn't even lift their heads.
Luo Youdu reads "Royal Daily" every day. Since the establishment of "Royal Daily" for more than fifty issues, Li Congjia has submitted eleven poems to the newspaper.
Li Congjia's poems and Zhang Qixian's stories have become frequent readers of "Royal Daily".
Luo Youdu did not reject Li Congjia, but he was happy that this poet emperor could drive the literary trend in the Central Plains. He was just out of curiosity as to what the purpose of this guy was to stay in the Central Plains and not want to return south.
Luo Youdu specially summoned him for this purpose and asked him the reason.
Li Congjia looked embarrassed. He was neither willing to deceive nor embarrassed to tell the truth.
Luo Youdu didn't force it, he 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 was a slight change in the political arena in Jiangnan.
He still went out of his way to find out more about the irreconcilable conflict between Li Jing and Li Hongji, and also understood why Li Congjia's leg was a little lame when he first met him.
Historical records record that Li Congjia had buck teeth on his forehead, but there is no record that he was a lame...
If Li Congjia is really willing to stay in the Central Plains, there is no guarantee that he can become a killer move against Jiangnan.
As for whether the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Li Congjia, it made no difference to Luo Youdu.
The current problems in Jiangnan cannot be solved by one or two emperors. The more radical the successors are, it will only have the opposite effect.
Fu Qing'er saw that Chou Chou was tired, so she carried him into the pavilion.
Luo Youdu stood up and took over the little guy and handed him the rattle that he could play with every day.
Chou Chou tenderly called out: "Daddy!"
Luo Youdu ignored 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 start crying.
Fu Qing'er took a sip of sour plum juice. It was sour and she smacked her lips. It was not to her liking.
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "I know you can't get used to this, so I chilled the wine for you."
He motioned to the female officer to hand over the wine.
Fu Qing'er smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
I took the wine that was handed to me and tasted the taste. It was indeed much better than sour plum juice. I drank it down boldly, which helped to drive away a lot of the summer heat.
Fu Qing'er sat down next to Luo Youdu, enjoying the rare leisure time.
This was the first time Luo Youdu had such leisurely time with them since he came to the throne in danger, and he cherished it very much.
The three of them chatted with each other about various interesting topics.
Fu Qing'er suddenly said: "I heard that your Majesty is going to meet a strong man in a few days? A strange man who can pull huge rocks weighing ten thousand kilograms?"
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "There is no such strong man, but he is just a strange man! I am still looking forward to meeting him..."
As a later generation, Luo Youdu knew that while martial arts was important, the development of the political, cultural and economic fields was also indispensable for a country.
No matter how strong a country's martial arts is, if it does not have sufficient political, cultural and economic support, it will be like the Mongol Empire in later generations.
It cannot last long and falls apart.
Moreover, as a later generation, Luo Youdu happened to know some of the shortcomings of this era.
Prescribe the right medicine step by step.
Congratulations were given to him, and he was also asked to publish the award in the "Royal Daily News" to stimulate the improvement of equipment technology.
Promoting vernacular Chinese is also one of them, making learning easier.
In addition to using vernacular in the "Royal Daily News", he also intended to express all official court documents and official memorials in vernacular.
This move inevitably triggered a lot of resistance and resistance. Without the ancient meaning of the article, how could the author's cultural level be demonstrated?
Isn't this Han Chuang studying hard for many years just to compete with others in terms of writing skills?
Everyone writes short stories, so what’s the point of studying hard for ten years?
Luo Youdu had already noticed that many temple officials began to quietly resist, and secretly gathered many people, planning to admonish them.
Luo Youdu was waiting for them to take action.
Xu Shi saw Luo Youdu's emphasis on strange craftsmanship, and many people recommended many strange people to him in order to cater to his taste.
This real person, that master, this one is proficient in the art of immortality, and that one is good at maintaining health.
Luo Youdu completely ignored it until Zhao Pu recommended a great monk named Huai Bing, which attracted his attention.
Monk Huai Bing is what Fu Qing'er calls a strong man. He was from Zhending, Hebei Province. He was intelligent, good at thinking, and good at architecture.
There is a thirteen-level pagoda in Zhending. The middle column is broken and the pagoda tilts to the northwest.
The locals thought that the pagoda was going to collapse, but Monk Huai Bing was convinced that the right column could fully support the weight of the pagoda, so he built another column, replaced the broken column, and straightened the pagoda.
There is a huge boulder in the middle of Zhangshui River in Jizhou, weighing about 10,000 kilograms.
It's not a problem at ordinary times, but when it comes to shallow water, the boulders act like hidden reefs, and ships passing by are often harmed by them.
Monk Huai Bing used three large boats filled with sand, tied the boulders with ropes, slowly removed the earth and rocks on the boats, and pulled the boulders out of the sand.
There are many similar rumors, and others regard Monk Huai Bing as a strange person.
When Luo Youdu heard this story, he was refreshed. He was a physics master with such a good method and immediately ordered him to be invited to Bianjing.
Luo Youdu explained in detail to Fu Qing'er and Zhou Ehuang the principle of how monk Huai Bing used buoyancy to pull out a huge boulder weighing 10,000 kilograms from the water.
Everyone knows that the ship has a heavy draft and a deep draft, but that the ship has a shallow draft without cargo.
Fu Qing'er and Zhou Ehuang were both 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 Huai Bing, a strong man, suddenly found it boring.
As long as she knows this key point, she can do it too!
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's understanding of the application of mechanics far surpassed that of the West by hundreds of years.
In the West, Archimedes proposed that by giving me a fulcrum, I could lift the entire earth.
Mo Zhai has already used the principle of leverage to make trebuchets for city defense, and some people also use the principle of leverage to fetch water...
But now, for more than a thousand years, there is no meaningful mechanical theory.
Technology is becoming more and more advanced, and everything from catapults to powerful bows and crossbows all involve mechanical principles.
I know how to use it, and I understand the principles, but I just lack a set of rigorous logical thinking to explain these principles.
This is the biggest difference between Western culture and Eastern culture.
The West values academics, and their technological and cultural development is far slower than that of the East. However, they will record the principles and study them for future generations.
In the East, many things are integrated into life and become commonplace, thus ignoring the most basic theoretical knowledge.
This shortcoming is very fatal and may not be visible now.
Once you enter the era of rapid development, if you lack theoretical knowledge, you will be one step slower than others.
Seeing that Fu Qing'er had lost interest, Luo Youdu stopped talking. When he saw her pouring wine again, he smiled and said, "Don't get drunk!"
Fu Qing'er snorted: "No way! Your Majesty, you want to try it too? This wine from Xizhou Uighur tribute is really good."
Luo Youdu developed a taste for 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..."
This is a good thing, Luo Youdu usually remembers his old brothers and confidants.
From time to time, I would send tributes from all over to their houses.
"Daddy, daddy..."
Chou Chou seemed to have had enough rest. He looked at the dragonflies outside the pavilion and couldn't help but call out.
Luo Youdu held Chou Chou on his neck and rushed toward the flowers...
