Wanli 1592

Chapter 1301
Zhang Wu nodded, expressing that he was indeed worried about these things.

"You are wrong. Buying weapons is completely different from making weapons yourself. The ancients said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Do you understand this truth?"

Zhang Wu frowned.

"Let them buy weapons, buy weapons they can't make to fight wars, destroy the country, and have no foundation to build and produce their own military supplies. In order to protect themselves, they have to continue to buy them. As long as the country is still in war, If you don’t have the ability to develop, you have to continue buying and playing.”

Xiao Ruxun said another paragraph.

Zhang Wu suddenly realized.

"That's why His Majesty gave Siam to..."

"Yes, Siam can threaten Daqin's status in Nanyang. He does not allow it to exist. Nanyang does not allow a unified, large, stable and developing country to exist. As long as Daqin exists for a day, it cannot be allowed. Zhang Wu, you give me Remember, you and Heishui must do our best to keep them from living in peace!"

Xiao Ruxun stared at Zhang Wu, who immediately knelt down.

"The minister obeys the order! As long as the minister survives, these foreign vassals will never be able to live in peace!"

Xiao Ruxun nodded, let Zhang Wu leave, and changed into clothes that were easier to move under the service of Li Sheng.

"Li Sheng, have you arranged your itinerary for the afternoon?"

"Returning to His Majesty, all arrangements have been made. The teams for the polo match have gathered and waited at the venue, and according to His Majesty's request, in addition to the families of officials and ministers, we have selected two thousand absolute Reliable and honest people will watch the game with us, and we will ensure that the scene of the game will be lively."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Well done, with you on the side doing things for me, I feel much more at ease."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

Li Sheng fastened Xiao Ruxun's belt with a low eyebrow.

Going out, it was another round of drinking and having fun, the musicians played gorgeous court music, and the dancers twirled and jumped to show their graceful dancing posture.

In all fairness, Xiao Ruxun is not a person who likes to enjoy himself, but since becoming an emperor, sometimes when the work pressure and mental pressure are very high, he does need a certain degree of relaxation.

There are not many ways to relax your nerves these days, so when Xiao Ruxun has some free time, he will also call these musicians and dancers to play a song to relax his tense nerves.

Moreover, after experiencing the charm of folk musical instruments such as chime bells, zither, and pipa at close range, Xiao Ruxun understood why ancient emperors liked such enjoyment, and he also fell in love with these wonderful notes and graceful dancing postures.

It is the supreme honor for musicians and dancers that the emperor enjoys the music. When the emperor wants to watch them perform, they will show their talents with 12 points of effort.

At this time, Xiao Ruxun would half-ly lie on the kang, leaning on the cushion, eating fruits and pastries, and two servants behind him would massage for him, one rubbing his legs and the other rubbing his shoulders, the techniques were very skillful and sophisticated.

There are still people waiting around, Li Sheng will rush to get Xiao Ruxun whatever Xiao Ruxun wants to eat and drink, the cook in the imperial dining room is on standby [-] hours a day, the most important thing is to serve the emperor and prepare food for other people. Meals are incidental.

The musicians used chime bells, tambourines, zithers, pipas and other instruments to play a beautiful movement, and the dancers danced along with them. Xiao Ruxun asked himself that he is not a person who understands music, and he is not a well-educated person like Tang Xuanzong and Song Taizong. But there is no shortage of such enjoyment.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty liked music and made a song called "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes", which has been passed down through the ages.

Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty liked rhythm. He made 29 pieces by himself, and played them on the pipa himself. Xiao Ruxun didn't have this kind of ability, so he had to listen and enjoy them like this.

For the emperor, any enjoyment should be enjoyed, but Xiao Ruxun doesn't listen to these dance music very often, and the process will not exceed an hour, and he will go back to review the memorial and continue working, like Tang Xuanzong's behavior of wasting state affairs , he couldn't do it.

It is the same at this moment.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ruxun greeted a group of people to leave the palace, left the capital, and headed towards the polo stadium in the northwest suburb of the capital.

Along the way, the translators of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to introduce what kind of sport Daqin polo is to the foreign monarchs. When these monarchs arrived at the big stadium, they were surprised to find that it could hold thousands of people to watch together. Huge and wide.

Afterwards, three consecutive exciting polo tournaments began. The game was thrilling and exciting, with cheers one after another. Unlike the officials and common people of the Great Qin Dynasty, the foreign monarchs did not quite understand how to play this game at first.

But soon they could see that the two teams played with the ball on horseback, and then hit the ball into the opponent's goal. Whoever has the best riding skills and the best ball-handling ability will be the winner.

The competition was very intense, and the process was thrilling and exciting. The people of Daqin, who had long been familiar with it, cheered and shouted enthusiastically.

Whenever the team scored a goal, they cheered and shouted or even screamed. The foreign monarchs didn't understand at first, but they were soon infected by this atmosphere, and cheered and shouted with the whole place.

There are not only the army, officials, but also a large number of people. Xiao Ruxun told the foreign monarchs around him that this is called having fun with the people, and it is a very good thing.

The foreign monarchs felt very novel, and many people felt that they had opened the door to a new world.

After fierce competition, at sunset, the four participating teams decided the final winner. The winner was not the cavalry unit, but the youngsters of the Royal Central Military Academy. This surprised many people familiar with the situation.

As the emperor, Xiao Ruxun personally presented awards to the boys and gave them red envelopes. The boys burst into tears of excitement, and the atmosphere of the whole occasion reached its peak.

It was another dinner in the evening. After the dinner, the servants and maids had already prepared the palace night market in the palace.

This was also an activity ordered by Xiao Ruxun himself. Various goods that could not be bought in the capital were placed along the streets of the palace, and red lanterns were lit to illuminate the surroundings. It looked particularly atmospheric.

For many foreign monarchs and courtiers, this is the first novel experience. After seeing such things, they couldn't help but pay for them. Many courtiers and family members of Daqin saw some novelties Son, can't help but pay for it.

"Such and such a situation is what I want to see the most. The world is safe and peaceful, the sea is peaceful, there is no war, no famine. In this way, although I, the emperor, is tired, I feel very happy and feel that what I have done Everything you do is worth it.”

Xiao Ruxun took the foreign lords shopping while pouring chicken soup for their souls, drawing a successful conclusion to this wonderful birthday party.

Early the next morning, after Xiao Ruxun got up, Li Sheng told Xiao Ruxun when he was washing up and preparing to have breakfast, that several foreign lords had requested an audience with Xiao Ruxun, saying that they had important matters to discuss with Xiao Ruxun.

There is no doubt that the deal is coming.
