Chapter 288 The idea of ​​the sports meeting

Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

After the morning court, Li Shimin left several important ministers behind and let other officials leave.

Li Shimin: Dear friends, let’s go to the Datang Library now.

Since the Datang Library was officially opened to the public, he would lead a group of ministers there whenever he was free.

It is no exaggeration to say that apart from sleeping, he spent most of the twelve hours a day in the library.

Even government affairs were handled in the Datang Library, which was why he called several important officials.

To this end, he specially arranged a dedicated office room on the top floor of the Datang Library.

Seeing this, other important ministers present were very happy to follow Li Shimin.

As scholars who read poetry and books, these ministers naturally wanted to stay in the Datang Library twelve hours a day.

Besides, His Majesty was not proficient in riding an electric bike last night, and he couldn't afford to risk getting into trouble if he tried rashly now.

He quickly stood up and stopped His Majesty. Electric cars were too dangerous, so it was better not to try them easily.

The palace was not far from the library, and Li Shimin and his party arrived at the library door in just a few minutes.

Ever since he knew that he failed to educate the prince and Li Tai well, which caused them to rebel later, he had paid special attention to their emotional education during this period.

I saw Prince Li Chengqian practicing his electric car, while Li Tai and Li Zhi were cheering him on.

Li Zhi: And me, I also want to ride an electric bike together.

Li Shimin: Cheng Qian, how is your practice? Have you learned it?
Li Chengqian: Father, son and minister are almost ready to master it.

Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard this, not too surprised.

Seeing that Wei Zheng still wanted to stop him, Li Shimin looked unhappy and immediately became unhappy, so Wei Zheng didn't say anything more.

To this end, he specially arranged for ten personal guards and equipped them with electric vehicles.

Li Chengqian: Father, my son and I also want to go to the library.

After all, there are a huge number of books in the library, which is a fatal temptation for their readers.

If electric cars weren't so attractive to them, they would have headed to the library long ago.

Now that he saw the three brothers enjoying themselves, he felt much more relieved.

This is enough to show that the prince got started with electric vehicles very quickly, which exceeded his expectations.

Electric vehicles are convenient, fast and comfortable, and are especially suitable as a means of transportation in Chang'an City.

If the library hadn't been closed in the evening, they would have wanted to sleep with books in the library.

Li Shimin adjusted the speed to the lowest gear and drove towards the library extremely smoothly and slowly.

Prince Li Chengqian and others also followed slowly, and a group of ministers followed in carriages.

After buying a bicycle in a hurry, he practiced diligently in the square of the palace and mastered the bicycle completely in just a few days.

There is also a large group of guards gathered around, who will immediately step forward if the prince becomes uncontrollable.

Qingque and Zhinu are both still young, so it's already good to be able to practice to this level. As long as they practice more, they can become proficient.

Li Shimin: This electric car is really comfortable and much smoother than driving in a luan. It would be great if Datang could have more electric cars.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and saw that although the prince was not driving fast, he was very stable and showed no signs of falling over.

As for the Tang Dynasty Library, they princes also like to go there and find some interesting books to read.

Compared with transportation such as horse riding and carriage, the advantages of electric vehicles are undoubtedly more obvious.

Nowadays, electric vehicles are almost the same as bicycles. If you are fully proficient in bicycles, you can easily control an electric vehicle.

Li Shimin: I’m going to the library, so let’s ride an electric bike there!
If you're tired of driving, it's a different experience to try an electric car.

Li Zhi: If it’s slow, it’s fine. If it’s fast, it’s easy to lose control.

When he was rushing to buy electric cars last night, he gathered a crowd and grabbed a lot.

When Li Shimin saw this, he walked forward with a pleased expression on his face.

Li Shimin: Qingque, Zhinu, where are you two?
Li Tai: Father, I'm almost proficient.

Wei Zheng: Your Majesty, you must not do it. It is not a trivial matter if you fall.

Soon, a group of ten guards riding electric bicycles opened the way in front.

The common people who were originally queuing up in the library square saw the emperor coming and made way for them.

He bought an electric car last night and tried it. It was indeed not easy to control at first.

Li Shimin led a group of ministers towards the outside of the palace. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the palace, they saw a lively scene.

After he got off the car, he stared at the electric car in admiration and was filled with emotion.

Although he thought it was dishonorable to get rid of his brother and seize the throne, he did not want his son to imitate him.

In this way, whenever something happens in the palace, they can rush there as soon as possible.

Li Shimin: Xuancheng, don’t worry, I’ll be fine if I drive slower.

It's just a pity that there are not many good means of transportation like electric cars.

Even though there are books related to making electric cars in the library, if he wants to actually build Datang's first electric car, he may not be able to see it in his lifetime.

After sighing with emotion, I saw a long line of people waiting to enter the library.

He felt relieved that the development of Datang depended on these common people who loved learning.

Li Shimin: During this period, have there always been so many people coming to the library to study?

Fang Xuanling: Your Majesty, as more and more people come to Chang'an from all over the country, the number of people coming to the library to read has increased significantly. The long queues have continued into the afternoon these days.

The scene on the first day the Datang Library opened was extremely popular, but the popularity these days is not inferior to that on the opening day, and it is even getting more popular.

This is easy to understand. With the opening of Datang Library, people from all over the country came here to visit it.

I believe that as time goes by, more and more people will come from all directions.

The number of people the Datang Library can accommodate is limited. Once the upper limit is reached, you have to wait for people in the library to come out before you can continue to let people in.

As a result, there was a queue in front of us. Only how many people came out could how many people get in.

But because there are so many people queuing up to get in, many people don't get in even when the museum is closed in the evening.

After all, the library is so attractive that people who can go in to read and study cherish this opportunity. Many people go in in the morning and stay until the library closes.

This resulted in only a few people coming out midway, leaving the vast majority of people queuing outside without the opportunity to go in to read and study. But even so, the queue outside was still endless.

Even if they can't get in, they are still willing to queue outside. After all, the opportunity to get in is rare, and they don't want to miss any chance of getting in.

Li Shimin: With such studious people, why should our Tang Dynasty not be able to catch up with the prosperity of later generations?

Looking at the eyes of the common people who were thirsty for knowledge, he felt very gratified.

At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart that Datang might not be able to build an electric car in his lifetime.

After all, the various techniques for making electric vehicles have been recorded in detail in library books. Coupled with the diligent and studious people of the Tang Dynasty, no one knows what kind of power it can unleash.

Before the smile on his face faded, there was a sudden quarrel at the library door.

His face instantly became a little displeased. The Datang Library was a sacred place, so it was inappropriate to make loud noises.

Changsun Wuji: Your Majesty, it seems there was a quarrel ahead.

All the ministers and the prince were a little surprised. They didn't know who had eaten the bear's heart and dared to argue in front of the emperor.

Moreover, the library can be said to be the holy place of the Tang Dynasty, and no one is allowed to act recklessly here.

Li Shimin said nothing and led a group of people straight towards the library entrance.

When the two quarreling parties saw the emperor arriving, they immediately knelt down to greet him in fear.

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the guards in the library, and then at the foreigners dressed in exotic clothes.

Li Shimin: What's going on?

After listening to the arguments from both sides, he finally understood the ins and outs of the quarrel.

It turned out that someone came out of the library just now. The Fanbang people who were queuing outside wanted to go in, but the guards refused to let the Fanbang people in, so they started to quarrel.

The reason for the guard's refusal was also very simple. Only people from the Tang Dynasty could enter the library, not people from foreign countries.

Fanbangren: His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, I am a member of the DTZ. Now the DTZ has surrendered to Your Majesty. Logically speaking, I am also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, but this guard does not let me in. What is the reason?

Li Shimin was stunned by the question and didn't know how to respond.

Not long ago, Datang sent troops to DTZ, completely incorporating the vast territory of DTZ into Datang.

Logically speaking, DTZ has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and DTZ people belong to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

And he said that only people of the Tang Dynasty can enter the Library of the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, neither emotionally nor rationally, he had any reason to prevent the person in front of him from entering the library.

It would be legally unjustifiable to prevent the DTZ person in front of me from entering.

But he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want people from foreign countries to enjoy the benefits of entering the library.

The reason is also very simple. DTZ has just joined, and he is not at ease with DTZ. He has always had a grudge against DTZ and is worried that the other party will rebel at any time.

Under such circumstances, he was naturally unwilling to allow unstable elements like DTZ people to study.

If this person goes in and learns profound knowledge, if DTZ rebels in the future, then this person will definitely become a threat to Datang.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Changsun Wuji came to the rescue.

Changsun Wuji: It is true that the Library of the Tang Dynasty can only be entered by people of the Tang Dynasty. However, you keep saying that you are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, but you are wearing exotic clothes. It shows that you do not regard yourself as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, this library Can't let you in.

When Li Shimin heard this, his face lit up. This was indeed a good excuse.

Li Shimin: When you really become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, the Datang Library will be open to you. And you were arguing loudly at the door of the library. I think it was your first offense, so I won’t punish you, so you can take care of yourself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored it and led the minister in.

The library has dedicated personnel leading the way towards the Government Affairs Office on the top floor.

Li Shimin: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. These foreigners are not my native people of the Tang Dynasty. We need to be wary of them at all times and do not let them come in to learn knowledge, so as not to use this knowledge against me, the Tang Dynasty one day.

Changsun Wuji: Your Majesty is right, I will give the order.

When Li Shimin saw this, he felt relieved and continued walking through the stairs to the Government Affairs Office.

Whether looking at the history before the Tang Dynasty or the history after the Tang Dynasty, these foreign foreigners all have evil intentions.

It's okay to say that the Tang Dynasty was strong, and the surrounding foreign people would honestly surrender.

But once the Tang Dynasty became weak and exposed its flaws, these foreigners would look covetously at the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, for the future security of Datang, the Library of Datang cannot be opened to foreigners.

After the group arrived at the Government Affairs Hall on the fifth floor, everyone found their seats and sat down, picked up the books on the desk and continued reading.

In front of Li Shimin was a book about introducing ball sports equipment. This book was found and placed in advance.

The lucky winner of the anchor's draw yesterday was Luban, and the product was ball sports equipment.

He didn't know anything about ball sports equipment, and he hadn't seen it in the previous video played on the screen, so he was ready to learn what ball sports equipment was in advance.

As he turned over the pages, he suddenly understood that these were ball games!
Basketball, football, volleyball, badminton, tennis, table tennis, billiards and dozens more.

He had to admire the ingenuity of later generations for being able to come up with so many interesting and fun sports.

Moreover, these ball games are not just games, but more importantly, they can enhance people's physical fitness.

But after thinking about it, he understood.

The material conditions of later generations are extremely rich. Under the premise of not having to worry about food and clothing, they naturally have more energy to focus on sports and games.

The people of the Tang Dynasty had just solved the problem of having enough to eat, and other sports and entertainment items were scarce.

These ball games are of great benefit to the people of the Tang Dynasty in terms of physical fitness. It may be possible to promote various ball games throughout the country.

At the worst, it should be widely implemented in Chang'an City, setting off a wave of ball games throughout the city.

And he read the information in the book and found that basketball courts, football fields, volleyball courts, etc. are all easy to build.

Even a large-scale gymnasium can be easily constructed with Datang's current capabilities.

Looking at the introductions of various ball games and sports games in books, a grand plan gradually came into his mind.

Perhaps various ball sports venues can be built in Chang'an City first, and then promoted to cities across the country.

When the time comes, a grand Tang Games can be held in Chang'an City to showcase the grace of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the sports meeting plan was feasible. After all, people all over the country would be able to live a life of ample food and clothing in the near future. It was time to consider the needs of entertainment and sports.

Thinking of this, he summoned the important ministers present to discuss the promotion of ball games in Chang'an City.
