Chapter 174 Indoor Swimming Pool

Is it difficult to build an indoor swimming pool?

In fact, it was not difficult at all. After Li Jie explained the swimming pool plan to several officials of the work department, they immediately began to direct the craftsmen to work. The floor of the hall was pried open and the soil was dug out, but they could not touch the pipes below. Then they made a small swimming pool on the pipes. After all, the space in the hall was limited, but it was enough for Zhu Biao to use it.

This is the side hall of Chunhe Palace. Like Zhu Yuanzhang's warm pavilion, the main hall is also covered with ground dragons. In fact, it is a heating pipe. As long as coal is burned, the hot smoke passes through the pipes below, just like floor heating, which can make the entire main hall warm like spring.

However, this side hall is not commonly used. Now Li Jie is attracted by it and is planning to build an indoor swimming pool in the hall. Of course, this matter has also been approved by Zhu Biao, because Zhu Biao is just walking briskly every day, and Li Jie has also promised that swimming is better than walking briskly, so Zhu Biao agreed very happily.

With the full cooperation of the Ministry of Works and Li Jie's supervision, the swimming pool was quickly built, and the four walls of the pool were tiled. After the pool was injected with water, it quickly reached a suitable temperature under the heating of the flue below. Although the water vapor in the room was a little too large, it was also very warm.

On this day, Li Jie invited Zhu Biao and others to the hall. When several people saw the completed swimming pool in the hall, they all showed a look of surprise. Then Li Jie took out the swimming trunks that he had prepared long ago. This was made of shark skin that Li Jie specially asked someone to find. Of course, he also specially prepared a super large size for Zhu Biao.

Several people changed into swimming trunks and came to the swimming pool again. Zhu Biao's white fat body was too conspicuous, and even he felt a little embarrassed. In contrast, although Lan Yu had a big belly, she had a body of tendons and her arms were thicker than those of Zhu Yunxiu and Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Highness, do you know how to swim?" Li Jie asked with a smile.

"No!" Zhu Biao and his son shook their heads together. When Lao Zhu wanted to kill Zhu Biao's teacher Song Lian, Zhu Biao threatened to commit suicide by jumping into the river, which made Lao Zhu let Song Lian go. It was obvious here that Zhu Biao really couldn't swim. In fact, as the prince, the people around him dared not let him go into the water.

"I will, I will teach the prince!" Lan Yu next to him clapped her hands and said excitedly. After saying that, she jumped into the water with a "thump", splashing all over Li Jie and others.

Then Lan Yu smeared her face and showed her swimming skills in front of Li Jie and others - Dog Pad.

Not to mention, although the posture of Lan Yu Dog's padding is very ugly, it swims very fast and has very skillful movements. Obviously, Lan Yu has a good water quality, but this is also normal. Lan Yu is not only a general on the land, he has also commanded naval forces to fight, so he is also very familiar with water quality.

"So amazing. I didn't expect my uncle to have such skills. Let me try it!" Zhu Biao looked at Lan Yu coming and going in the water, and immediately felt itchy. So he stretched out his legs and tried the water temperature, and then jumped out of the swimming pool.

"Huh? I won't sink to the bottom?" Zhu Biao jumped into the water and found that he could float on the water without moving. This discovery also surprised him very much.

Li Jie, by the pond, covered his face. Zhu Biao was too fat, and his body fat rate was too high, so his body density would of course be lighter, so he was more likely to float on the water than ordinary people.

"Li Banju, can you swim?" Zhu Yunxiu came over to Li Jie and asked. He and Zhu Yunwen were both quite thin. After all, they were only concerned about growing their bodies at their age, so they mostly had a body like ribs.

"I can't either!" Li Jie spread his hands. He wanted to learn swimming in his previous life, but maybe because his hands and feet were not in harmony, he couldn't learn no matter how much he learned, so he gave up.

"That's a coincidence. Let's learn swimming with the general and compare who can learn how to learn first?" Zhu Yunxiu immediately suggested enthusiastically.

"School!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunwen next to him snorted coldly when he heard this, and then got into the water on his own. Zhu Yun was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let's compete!" Li Jie agreed with a smile. He didn't learn how to swim in his previous life, and he didn't know if he could break through himself in this life?

At that moment, Li Jie and Zhu Yunqiu also entered the swimming pool. Lan Yu had already swam back and forth. At this time, she was also standing in the shallow water area and taught Zhu Biao and others some swimming skills. Li Jie didn't want to learn dog padding, mainly because the posture was too ugly, but she had no other choice. In the end, she could only learn with Zhu Biao and the others.

Maybe Li Jie got his tricks when he traveled through time, or maybe he changed his new body, Li Jie found that he had learned to swim quickly, and Zhu Biao and his son were not slow to learn, especially Zhu Biao. He had innate advantages. His body floated on the water and did not sink. He could swim around as long as his hands and feet were coordinated, so he learned faster than Li Jie.

Swimming is much more interesting than walking. After all, the fetus grows in amniotic fluid, so even when people become adults, most people have a natural sense of intimacy with water. After Zhu Biao and his son experienced the fun of swimming, they also had a lot of fun.

Li Jie felt boring after swimming for a while, so he sat by the pool to rest. He saw Zhu Biao swimming around the pool with his two sons, which looked very warm. The only bad thing was the dog-pad style of the father and son, which looked a bit eye-catching.

"If this was passed down from generation to generation, it wouldn't have become the swimming posture of the old Zhu family?" Li Jie looked at Zhu Biao and his son and said thoughtfully, not knowing what Old Zhu would think if he saw Zhu Biao and his son?

Li Jie's question was quickly answered, because when he came to the hall again the next day, he found that not only Zhu Biao and his son were there, but Lao Zhu actually came. He also heard that Li Jie dug a large pool in the hall. He was curious and came to take a look. As a result, Zhu Biao kept urging Lao Zhu to go into the water and swim twice.

Lao Zhu was also moved in the end, so he changed into swimming trunks and got into the water. Sure enough, he was a handsome dog paddle, swimming better than Lan Yu. After all, he was a man who fought against Chen Youliang on the water, so he couldn't understand the nature of water.

In fact, Lao Zhu and Lan Yu are not big families. When they were young, a group of poor boys ran around the mountains and rivers, and it was common for them to go up and down the water. The swimming technique of dog shoveling is simple and easy to get started. Even if no one teaches them, they can learn to do it without a teacher when they learn to swim. Therefore, it is normal for Lao Zhu and Lan Yu to only know dog shoveling.

Seeing the three generations of Zhu, the grandparents and grandchildren floating in the swimming pool and paddling dogs, Li Jie suddenly had a strange idea. No matter which dynasty, if you touch the word "royal", your net worth will immediately double. Maybe the dogs will become a swimming position for the royal family in the future, and may even be changed to a more majestic name, such as dragon flip, tiger pounce, etc.

Lao Zhu swam in the water for a few laps. After all, he was old and could not keep up with his physical strength, so he went ashore to rest. Li Jie immediately asked someone to bring a lounge chair, and then cooked tea with Lao Zhu to chat with him. Zhu Biao had not completed his exercise today, so he had to swim for at least two hours a day.

"The prince seems to have lost weight?" Zhu Yuanzhang tasted the tea and said.

"I've really lost weight. I've only been half a month ago. The prince has lost nearly twenty kilograms. I guess it's okay to lose thirty or forty kilograms at the end of the month!" Li Jie immediately replied. Zhu Biao's body has a large base, so it's easier to lose pounds now. This is because Li Jie considers that he can't use too much force at the beginning, otherwise Zhu Biao will lose more.

"Yes, your method is indeed effective, especially swimming, which is interesting and consumes a lot of physical strength, which is indeed a good method!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

"Swimming is indeed a good sport. In fact, if Your Majesty has time, you might as well take half an hour every day to swim here for a few laps. This will also be good for Your Majesty's health." Li Jie hesitated for a moment before he persuaded.

Lao Zhu was strong when he was young, but since he became emperor, he always sat still. In addition, he was getting older and his health was getting worse and worse. Now he was just eating his body. When he finished his work, with Lao Zhu's workload, he would definitely get sick.

"I'll try my best!" Lao Zhu thought about it for a while before speaking. After swimming a few laps today, although he was tired, he felt an unspeakable relaxation and comfort. He felt like he was alive. So Lao Zhu also carefully considered Li Jie's suggestions, but he had too much government affairs in his daily life, so it was not easy to take time.

In fact, Li Jie really wanted to persuade Lao Zhu not to hold all his power tightly. As the emperor, he could decentralize some power and hand it over to the ministers to deal with. After all, the ministers were originally to assist the emperor in managing the entire country.

However, Li Jie only dared to think about the above words in his heart, and he would not say them even if he beat him to death, because he knew that Lao Zhu was a person with a strong desire for power. In addition, he was suspicious by nature and was absolutely uneasy to hand over power to outsiders. Hu Weiyong back then was a good negative example.

"By the way, the Tiecai Army will set off for Goryeo these two days. If you have time, go to the Tiecai Army and talk to Mu Sheng about the situation between Goryeo and Japan, so that he can be prepared." Lao Zhu thought of another thing at this time, so he spoke again.

"Yes!" Li Jie agreed, and then asked curiously again, "Is there any new news about King Yan? After Zheng Mengzhou's death, the situation in Goryeo should have some changes, right?"

"Zheng Mengzhou was sent to the Ming Dynasty to be envoyed, and I have seen him. This person is indeed a talent. If he is willing to surrender to our Ming Dynasty, he can let Lao Si control Goryeo faster. Unfortunately, this person is only loyal to Goryeo, which is really a pity."

Lao Zhu first sighed Zheng Mengzhou, and then said again: "With Zheng Mengzhou's prestige, he will certainly affect the situation in Goryeo after his death. It is both good and bad for the fourth child. However, the longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for the fourth child. Therefore, I asked the Tie Cejun to rush over as soon as possible and let the fourth child solve the internal problems in Goryeo as soon as possible."
