Chapter 142 'The Song of Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes'
As a later generation, Luo Youdu’s emphasis on science and technology is unquestionable.
The only regret is that his main field of study is not mathematics, physics and chemistry, and he does not understand any cross-era technologies, so he cannot reach the top in one step.
However, Luo Youdu knew the correct way to determine the technology tree.
The Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties were an era when cold weapons and hot weapons collided with each other.
Rockets, flamethrowers, and fire-throwing ships are products of this era.
Just because of the lack of understanding of gunpowder and petroleum, technological products such as flamethrowers and fire-throwing ships have not withstood the test of the times.
Just like flamethrowers and fire ships.
Forty years ago, when the Liang and Tang Dynasties were fighting for hegemony, the Liang Dynasty adopted a flamethrower that used an iron cylinder to emit fire oil. However, because the iron cylinder could not be heated for a long time, the pressure and speed of the oil output were not high, resulting in backfire...
Then there are the fire-breathing ships of the Southern Tang Dynasty. In this era, Zhang Xiong took advantage of the fire-breathing ships' non-resistance to fire and burned them to the ground.
Real history is more fun.
The Song Dynasty sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Southern Tang Dynasty sent naval general Zhu Lingyun to lead a hundred thousand naval troops to confront Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty on the Yangtze River.
Nice romance novel
The naval forces of the Southern Tang Dynasty were dominant and had the upper hand.
Zhu Lingyun was determined to pursue the victory and used their trump card fire-breathing ship. The Song army was about to be defeated.
As a result, the wind direction suddenly changed, the fire spread back, and the fire-spitting ship carrying a large amount of fuel oil spontaneously ignited and exploded.
One hundred thousand naval troops in the south of the Yangtze River burned their fire-breathing ships and collapsed without a fight.
Coach Zhu Lingyun was directly burned to death.
In this situation, if the flamethrower and flamethrower are trapped like this, who dares and who is willing to continue researching it?
The replacement of cold weapons by hot weapons is an inevitable result, but this replacement requires a process.
What Luo Youdu has to do is to shorten this process while holding the advantage of his own cold weapons, and move up the technology tree step by step.
He needs a lot of skilled craftsmen and a lot of talents in this area.
Seeing the grass dragon knitted by Liu Yuan, Luo Youdu immediately realized that maybe he had found a treasure.
Liu Yuan may have been an emperor who went astray just like Li Yu.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, you will know after you give it to the general supervisor and give it a try.
Liu Yuan also came with a lot of rare treasures.
Liu Yuan has no ambitions, but is full of thoughts of pleasure.
When he escaped from Prince Xing's Mansion, he didn't even think about making a comeback. All he could think about was taking his treasure with him and finding a place to enjoy it for the rest of his life.
So eighteen large ships were selected, loaded with gold, silver, treasures and concubines.
Sometimes smart and sometimes stupid, he never thought that without Lingnan as his backer, he would have the ability to keep the wealth accumulated by the Liu family over the past century.
After going around and over, there was a slight loss, and finally they all returned to the treasury of the Central Plains court, bringing back a lot of blood.
Looking at the list of items sent by the Council, Luo Youdu nodded. With this money, he can do a lot of things.
Suddenly, he discovered that there were quite a few guqin scores in the list, including the lost "Nishang Yuyi Song" and Li Tang's most famous "Qin King's Breaking Formation Music".
How come Southern Han has such a good thing?
Little did he know that Nan Han's music was top-notch in this era.
The Southern Han Dynasty lived in the outer areas of the mountains. After the expansion, the descendants of the Liu family began to relax and increasingly indulged in a variety of games and entertainments, competing for extravagant abilities.
There were more than a thousand actors and actresses in the Southern Han Dynasty Jiaofang, and they sang and danced day and night.
A huge orchestra of actors came in and out of the palace at any time.
The entire Xingwang Mansion has rich and colorful music, dance and opera, and the singing and dancing activities are prosperous and unparalleled in the world.
In this environment, the music of the Tang Dynasty was well inherited.
Historically, the Song Dynasty specially sent people to Guangzhou to invite dozens of people to Beijing to teach singing and dancing in the classroom.
Luo Youdu asked Dou Yi curiously.
Dou Yi explained the situation in detail, and only then did Luo Youdu understand.
Luo Youdu suggested: "Let Zhongxun find some smart and agile actors in Guangzhou to come to Beijing to teach singing and dancing..."
"This..." Dou Yi frowned slightly.
Luo Youdu understood his concerns and said: "I know that the songs and dances taught by these actors may not be serious songs and dances, but the capital is rich and young, and the people have to have fun. If you are too depressed, it may not be a good thing."
Music is divided into elegant music and secular music.
Dou Yi, a scholar in his prime, naturally admired elegant music and disdained secular music.
But Luo Youdu still prefers worldly pleasures that make people happy.
It is most reasonable to use elegant music to add atmosphere to solemn occasions such as sacrifices and banquets. However, during leisure times, it is not a bad idea to have some secular music to cleanse the soul.
Dou Yi also thought it was reasonable and did not refuse.
Luo Youdu asked someone to send "The Song of Colorful Feather Clothes" to him.
He didn't understand this thing, but Emperor Zhou E certainly did.
She is a virtuous concubine with a cold appearance, but inside she is a passionate literary young man.
When chatting with Emperor Zhou E, Luo Youdu once heard her talk about the love history between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Yuhuan, and said, "It's a pity that "The Song of Colorful Feathers" has been lost and I can't get a glimpse of it."
After taking care of his official duties, Luo Youdu took the "Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes" in his hand and walked quickly to the residence of Emperor Zhou E... Amber Pavilion.
"His Majesty!"
When Emperor Zhou E faced Luo Youdu, he did not appear to be aloof and aloof from thousands of miles away, but he also remained somewhat dignified and polite. She was completely different from the person she was when she was in love.
Looking at Emperor Zhou E who was holding Xiang'er in his arms and saluting, Luo Youdu helped her up affectionately and said, "Guess what good things I brought you today, my beloved concubine?"
Zhou Ehuang smiled and said: "Where is the score again?"
Luo Youdu said with a downcast face: "My beloved concubine is too smart, so boring."
Emperor Zhou E covered his mouth and smiled softly: "Your Majesty loves me too much. He knows that I love music and often collects folk music scores as gifts. Naturally, I dare not forget them."
Luo Youdu felt relieved and said with a smile: "It is indeed a music score, but this time it is not an ordinary music score."
He held "The Song of Colorful Feather Clothes" in his hand, shook it and said: "This is the "Song of Colorful Feather Clothes" written by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty..."
Zhou Ehuang's beautiful eyes lit up, and her eyes followed the swaying song "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes". When she saw that Luo Youdu had no intention of giving him any attention, she called out coquettishly: "Your Majesty..."
Luo Youdu's heart was shaken, and his bones were a little stiff, and he obediently handed "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes" to Emperor Zhou E.
Emperor Zhou E took the music score with great joy, handed the daughter in his arms to Luo Youdu, and said: "I will study the music score and play it for your Majesty later. Your Majesty will play with Xiang'er first..." She said here
At this time, he paused and looked at his husband shyly, and said: "When she cries, give it to the wet nurse."
Luo Youdu immediately understood the inner meaning and hurriedly took over his precious daughter.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb her and just took a small sip on her forehead.
As for Zhou Ehuang, he was already immersed in the mysterious melody of "The Song of Colorful Feather Clothes".
Emperor Zhou E looked down at "The Song of Colorful Clothes and Feather Clothes", sometimes feeling happy and sometimes frowning.
It is said that men who are serious are the most handsome, and this serious woman is not bad either!
Of course, the premise is that the other party is a beauty herself!
