How could an emperor who stayed in the palace all day and could only leave the palace to offer sacrifices and who had no idea how the people lived be able to govern his country well? Ye An didn't believe it anyway.
He just wanted Zhao Zhen to go out and see how the people of the Song Dynasty lived and what their emotions were like. Of course, the most important thing was to let Zhao Zhen know that ordinary people were just like him.
A person with a nose and two eyes is not the only one who is born different.
The main reason why Liu E agreed to let Zhao Zhen and Ye An quietly leave the palace was that she was moved by Ye An's words.
It can be said that Ye An offered a temptation that she could not refuse, allowing Zhao Zhen to experience folk filial piety...
Yes, this was the key point in Ye An's words. He used the name of filial piety to prompt Liu E to make concessions. This was the key factor for her to successfully take over the power, and it was also the key to maintaining the relationship between her and Zhao Zhen.
.
Liu E's identity is actually very special. She is not Zhao Zhen's biological mother, but this issue has always been obscured by her. Even Zhao Zhen himself doesn't know.
As for the courtiers, only some of the princes knew about it at this time. Compared to the vast majority of people, this was still a secret.
Ye An knew what Liu E was thinking, so he did what he wanted, so he succeeded. This was a very ironic success. In the eyes of Chen Lin and Liu E, Ye An's previous suggestions were like murder.
His heart was as if he wanted to murder Zhao Zhen's name.
But after Ye An's explanation, Liu E finally changed her attitude greatly under circumstances that were beneficial to her.
Being able to take Zhao Zhen out of the palace and go for a walk in the outside world was something Ye An had always wanted to do. He told Zhao Zhen the news, and Ye An saw the happiness in the eyes of a young man.
.
That's right, compared to someone like Ye An who could enter and leave the palace at will at random, he couldn't feel the feeling of being "imprisoned" in the palace like Zhao Zhen.
Chen Lin and Lan Jizong, who came in a hurry, were relieved when they saw Zhao Zhen's appearance, but they were a little dissatisfied and said to Ye An: "Even if Ye Hou wants to let the officials see the life of ordinary people, there is no need to do this.
Right? There are not many opportunities for officials to leave the palace..."
"Is that called going out of the palace? Can you see the most real side of Tokyo when going out of the palace like that? Of course, even if you leave the palace incognito, it's probably hard to see it, right?"
Lan Jizong felt a little embarrassed under Zhao Zhen's gaze, but quickly said: "The official family is the emperor, and the safety of the official family is as important as the national tripod!"
Ye An smiled: "What a saying about the importance of the country! It's just the eunuch's opinion... Official, I invite you to condescend to be a guest in my house tomorrow?"
"Very good! Very good! I heard that your husband's residence is in Xinlingfang, the second room on the left. I saw it before when I was farming, but I never had the chance to see it in person. I heard from the Qin family sister... Oh,
Mr. Yangcheng County said, there are many interesting things in your house!"
Ye An smiled and nodded: "There are some, Li Duanyi often goes there, and the Nine Palaces Demon Convenience is one of them, but with the current intelligence of the official family, I'm afraid they can't see it anymore."
Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head and said: "No, I'm still thinking about how to restore it faster. The changes and mystery are quite attractive and exciting!"
Seeing the Rubik's Cube that Zhao Zhen took out from his cuff, showing off and spinning rapidly, Ye An felt that using the Rubik's Cube to develop his brain was the right thing to do.
Lan Jizong came up to him with a shy face: "Guan family, would you like to sit in Lao Nu's home? Lao Nu can guarantee that it will be much better than Ye Hou's home!"
"Can the exquisite luxury be compared to my palace? The fun and colorfulness can be compared to my husband's mansion?" Seeing Lan Jizong shaking his head in embarrassment, Zhao Zhen imitated Ye An and rolled his eyes: "Then why should I go?!
"
Chen Lin didn't speak at all. He didn't even have a home in Tokyo. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, and it wasn't that he couldn't leave the palace. It was just that he had been tied to the palace for most of his life. He didn't even know where to go if he left.
Well, only going to Ye An's mansion is the place he is most familiar with.
The good thing about Li Duanyi is that as long as he does something seriously, he will devote himself wholeheartedly to it, and external affairs have nothing to do with him. This is the biggest advantage and disadvantage that Ye An found in him.
Ye An saw the windmill he and Zhao Zhen made together, or rather the windmill he and Zhao Zhen made together. In order to complete their first work, neither of them allowed the help of the craftsman who would supervise it.
But after Ye An saw it, he smiled and shook his head without saying a word, causing the two children's eyes to become extremely disappointed. They had planned to ask Mr. Ye An to give him some advice, but of course what they hoped for most was to get it.
His affirmation.
Gently turning the sandalwood fan blades on the windmill, Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "Guan family, haven't you discovered the problem yet?"
The two children were a little confused. They had minimized the resistance that Ye An said, but still did not find the problem. Ye An helplessly pointed to the windmill in front of him: "Don't you realize that this windmill is particularly important?"
Is it? Other ministers don’t know. I only know that the carts in front of their homes are all trying to reduce the weight of their ox carts to make it easier for the old oxen to pull the goods."
The two boys suddenly realized that they had forgotten the most important aspect of the windmill. The fan blades should be light and thin so that they can spin the fastest. Looking at the windmill they made out of precious wood, Lian Lanji
Zong and Chen Lin both smiled bitterly.
Zhao Zhen and Li Duanyi began to improve after discovering the problem. Fortunately, Ye An did not give lectures today and took them to make windmills. This is a good way to promote machinery, although windmills can only serve as basic aerodynamics.
At the stage of human beings, it is still considered to be the application of knowledge in studying things.
Using bamboo strips as the bones and paper as the surface, the windmill quickly rotated in a breeze. The two children were very smart and could get to the point with just a few hints.
And they can also have their own creativity. When Ye An watched the lower parts of their two windmills open and connect them to a small waterwheel, he was surprised to find that the windmill could actually drive the waterwheel to rotate and provide continuous water supply.
You must know that water seems invisible, but it is actually very heavy. To drive the water wheel, the windmill requires a lot of power, and the current wind is not very strong.
The two worked together again to lift the windmill and move it to the small millstone on the side, and the value of the windmill was revealed.
The millstone was very small, so I had to wait for something to spin on the windmill, but even this made Lan Jizong's eyes shine and Chen Lin's hands dance wildly.
Apparently both of them saw an opportunity in this little windmill.
Lan Jizong looked at Chen Lin and said: "This little thing may bring a lot of fame to the official family. I didn't expect that the study of objects could be useful!"
Lan Jizong also nodded and said: "It has some effect. If this windmill is promoted in places with vast land and strong winds, I am afraid it can save a lot of manpower, which can be regarded as a benefit."
