It’s not like Empress Changsun has never tried it before, but the effect is quite touching.
After repeated teachings, Changle, her own child, is now proficient in the skills of bow and horse. The other female relatives are basically doing errands - this makes Empress Changsun always feel a little worried.
Although she is a queen, she is definitely not in a position to do politics, but... just because she is inconvenient to do politics does not mean that she does not understand many things.
From the perspective of Empress Changsun, the ultimate value of Erlang's edict to reform the atmosphere is to increase China's talent pool.
Whether a country prospers or declines, it depends on the person.
Things like horseback riding and archery are not important in themselves, but if the female relatives of various families in Chang'an only know about the enjoyment of fine clothes and delicious food, then this edict will lose its meaning in the long run - it was originally an edict issued for the benefit of women.
Taking the risk of destabilizing the atmosphere but failing to achieve the goal of acquiring additional talent, then...
It is easy to imagine what will happen at that time. When Li Er abdicates, another generation or two will pass, and the edict will most likely be abolished. Therefore, Empress Changsun is often worried and must find a way to truly change this situation.
It's the atmosphere.
The Qin family girl is very good, but she is not the mainstream in the circle of female relatives in Chang'an. Although Changle also has a leading role, this girl's ambition is not in martial arts... so it is difficult for her to play a useful "leading role".
If you think about it this way, you obviously have to find a way on your own... and the "Sports Games" that have become popular in Chang'an recently is undoubtedly a good idea.
Not to mention letting women practice archery and horse training, but just ordinary physical fitness, this should be much easier to implement!
Empress Changsun knew very well that the women in the circle of female relatives in Chang'an, whether they were the wives of the master's family or the ladies of the west's family, in the final analysis still had the same old ideas in the past. Obviously, there had to be a breakthrough to solve this...
Of course, it would be a long story to talk about these considerations. After all, Empress Changsun has been worrying about these things not just for a day or two, but for several long years. And after these few years of thinking, it is not that nothing has been gained.
,Method……
Naturally, the “sports” mentioned by Li Sheng are the most feasible and effective!
Empress Changsun also thought of the several ball sports invented by Li Sheng to allow women to compete with those men. This may not be feasible, but it is possible to form a women's team!
And this bicycle...if it is as convenient as Li Sheng said, then these Chang'an women who are always worried about their image and are unwilling to learn to ride a horse should be able to accept this!
Of course, Empress Changsun doesn't expect a bicycle to have much magical effect, but it is always good to have more ideas.
Under the idea of "trying it for free", Empress Changsun actually set up a workshop to manufacture this bicycle herself, but she didn't particularly expect the function of this thing.
but……
Queen Changsun's calmness did not last long, because soon, the existence of this bicycle spread in Chang'an...
At the beginning, it was only Empress Changsun who gave the first batch of bicycles to Changle and several other concubines.
then……
Before Queen Changsun could figure out how to introduce this thing to more female relatives of Chang'an noble families, she learned that the second batch of bicycles in the workshop were all taken away by Chang Le alone...
…
But she said that Queen Changsun originally thought that this bicycle was just for pleasure, because she and Li Er had heard Li Sheng introduce it. After all, this thing cannot replace horses. And since it cannot replace horses, then this thing is not that useful.
But it was precisely because of this that Empress Changsun regarded this thing as the starting point of Datang's "Female Martial Arts Promotion Plan" and decided to promote it, but at this moment...
Before I could figure out how to get a wave of rewards next, I got this confusing news...
This made Empress Changsun a little worried. If it was the girl Changle who did the same thing, of course it wouldn't matter, but if it was the girl Changle... After all, she is still young and cannot convince the crowd. If things don't go well, then this matter
Maybe I would blow it directly...
After all, this bicycle is still a new thing after all. It is hard to say whether anyone will take it seriously...
but……
Worry is worry, after all, Changle is still the precious daughter of Empress Changsun. Since this is nothing out of the ordinary, Empress Changsun doesn't have much to say, so she can only go around to see the situation first and see what the response is. And it is this "going around to understand the situation" that Empress Changsun
He sent several of his confidants Xiao Huangmen to leave the forbidden palace to investigate the situation of the nobles, princes and wealthy families in the upper echelons of Chang'an. The result...
Xiao Huangmen hasn't come back yet, Li Er came to visit him first!
Empress Changsun was also stunned by this scene, "Erlang?"
Of course, Empress Changsun was surprised because she had never seen Li Er before, but generally speaking, when it was just dark, Li Er was usually either dealing with memorials alone, or meeting with ministers to talk, and basically would not suddenly come to her
I couldn't help but be curious, but then I saw Li Er asking anxiously, "Guanyin Maid, you are managing this bicycle. I wonder how it is made? How much stock do you have now?"
"Inventory? Bikes?"
Queen Changsun was stunned. She didn't understand why this bicycle... was taken away by the girl Changle first, and now it has attracted... I don't know what the situation was. Li Er's expression was very anxious, as if the Manna Palace was on fire.
It was unbearable, but then she knew.
I saw Li Er saying with joy and anxiety at the same time, "This child Sheng'er is still dishonest and won't tell the truth to daddy!"
"This bicycle doesn't take three steps with one step, but more than ten steps with one step!"
A person's step is generally two-thirds of a meter - it varies depending on the different states of anxiety and leisure, but it's generally like this. And the distance of a dozen steps is ten meters.
When Empress Changsun heard this, she was immediately stunned, "A dozen steps? This...isn't this a magical method?"
Empress Changsun also saw prototypes of bicycles - she took the first batch as rewards to the women in the palace.
Of course, because it was a reward hosted by herself, Queen Changsun naturally knew that a bicycle could go a long way in one step.
But it was precisely because of this that Queen Changsun couldn't understand it. Although she had also seen bicycles moving, but...
"this……"
At this moment, Empress Changsun seemed to suddenly remember that the day she ordered someone to test ride her bicycle, it was in the small yard where the bicycle was made. The "bicycle" was indeed running normally, but...
Because I was going to check whether this thing was made, so I didn’t take a closer look...
