After meeting Lu Buwei, Zhao Dan was in a very good mood.

After all, now that the Wei State has been disabled, and the Qin State has stopped fighting, just a half-beaten South Korea and a Qi State are not the opponents of Zhao Chuyan's Triple Alliance.

Therefore, Zhao Dan put down his heavy official duties for the first time, and took his wife and children to the Dune Palace, which is not too far from Handan, to escape the summer.

To be honest, because Zhao Dan's grandfather, King Zhao Wuling, died here, and this matter was inseparable from Zhao Dan's father, King Zhao Huiwen, King Zhao Huiwen never came to the Dune Palace in the following decades.

But the father is the father, the son is the son, and Zhao Dan naturally has no such concerns.

This dune palace is located on the sand dunes, the palace is surrounded by green trees, and there are many gardens built by the king of Shang, which can be said to be a good place for tourism and leisure.

Of course, in this era, all the good attractions in Zhao Guo are Zhao Dan's, which means that there is no need to charge admission fees, and Zhao Dan feels very cool when he thinks of it.

But it was said that on this day, Zhao Dan took the queen and several princesses to a somewhat remote but amazing palace in the sand dune palace complex.

Zhao Dan was very interested in the work of a tour guide, only to see him stretch out his hand and point to a majestic platform in front of him, and smiled at the queen beside him: "Queen, this is the deer platform built by the king of Shang who ordered Chonghou Hu to build back then, do you know the allusion of this deer platform?" ”

The queen shook her head lightly and said, "Little boy doesn't know. ”

Zhao Dan was about to speak, but the second son Zhao Yan on the side opened his mouth and said: "Queen Mother, my son knows this allusion!" ”

The corners of Zhao Dan's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and said, "Oh? Then thou shalt speak to the queen mother and to the king. ”

After five years, Zhao Yan, the young child of the year, is now a young man, and he is quite handsome.

Because of worshipping under the Xun Condition, the whole person was wearing a Confucian scarf, looking decent, quite a bit of a chic little scholar, just a folding fan in his hand.

I saw Zhao Yan say as if offering a treasure: "This Lutai is a thousand feet high, three miles wide, and the original completion progress took thirty-five years, but the king of Shang was brutal and unreasonable, in order to complete the project ahead of schedule, Chonghou Hu ordered Chonghou Hu to levy millions of slaves and countrymen, which lasted two years and was completed ahead of schedule." It is precisely because the king of Zhou is so unreasonable, so the mandate of heaven was changed to the Zhou Dynasty, and there was the matter of King Wu of Zhou. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Dan and Han Wan blankly, wanting to get the exaggeration of his parents.

Zhao Dan laughed and said, "That's a good point, but Yan'er, the widow wants to ask you, do you know how tall a thousand feet is?" ”

Zhao Yan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't calculate it for a long time.

Zhao Dan said with a smile: "Ten feet is one zhang, and a thousand feet is one hundred zhang, so according to your statement, this deer platform should be as high as one hundred zhang." The widow asks you again, do you know how many zhang the wall of Handan has? ”

Zhao Yan still couldn't answer, but the eldest brother Zhao Heng on the side spoke out to relieve the siege: "Back to my father, my son thinks it should be no more than ten zhang." ”

"Shizhang?" Zhao Dan smiled dumbly and said, "It's not that high...... Well, even if it's that high. Look at it again, is the hundred-zhang high-pitched deer platform in front of you ten times as high as the ten-zhang Handan city wall? ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's voice fell, the eyes of a bunch of people fell on the deer platform in front of him.

It can be seen from visual inspection alone that the height of this deer platform is a little higher than the city wall of Handan, and it is only a dozen zhang high.

Not to mention tenfold, twice is impossible.

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "Yan'er, what's going on?" ”

Zhao Yanxiao's face was full of confusion, and he was speechless.

Zhao Dan smiled again: "Yan'er, do you know how many people there are today, and how many people are in Zhao Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Yan looked confused, but his brother Zhao Heng said: "Back to my father, there should be 1.2 million households in Zhao now, about 600 to 7 million people. ”

Zhao Dan nodded and said: "That's right, the land of the widow is several times that of Zhou Tianzi in the past, and the population is also several times that of Zhou Tianzi in the past. So Heng'er and the widow want to ask you, if the widow levies a million people to build a palace, is it possible? ”

Zhao Heng hesitated for a moment and shook his head slowly.

Six or seven million people want to conscript a million people into labor? This was simply impossible to do in any dynasty and era.

Zhao Dan said with a smile: "In this case, the population of Zhou Tianzi in his heyday was only two million, and the Zhou Dynasty was far greater than the Shang Dynasty, so although the population during the Shang Dynasty is unknown, it is absolutely impossible to exceed the population under Zhou Tianzi." Even if the king of Shang is 1.5 million, and 1.5 million people are selected to serve in labor, do you think this is possible? ”

This time, Zhao Heng and Zhao Yan shook their heads together, there is no need to say much about this kind of scoring question.

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "So you should understand by now, what Lutai is built with millions of people is actually nonsense." ”

Saying that, Zhao Dan couldn't help pinching his second son's little face, and said, "Father, ask you again, do you know who said this about Lutai?" ”

Xiao Zhao Yan, who was very speechless by Zhao Dan's series of rhetorical questions, perked up his spirits and said loudly: "It was Taigong Lu Shang who said it!" ”

Zhao Dan asked again: "Do you know who the prince Lu Shang is?" ”

Zhao Yan replied: "Taigong Lu Shangnai is the great hero of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and there is an allusion that 'Taigong fishing wishers take the bait'!" ”

Zhao Dan smiled: "Very good, I remember it very well." All right, let's go in with the widows. ”

The group walked towards Lutai.

Unlike Zhao Dan's Longtai Palace, which came from the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty, this Lutai Palace was seen in the Shang Dynasty, and its style is naturally very different from Longtai.

For example, this Lutai Palace is surrounded by palace walls and palace gates, and it is an independent small palace city alone, unlike the Longtai, Fengtai and many other public platforms in Zhao State are located in a large palace city.

Walking into the Lutai Palace, what greeted you was not a huge square like Longtai, but a large pool.

The pond was about the size of a football field in later generations, and it was very clear without any plants.

Zhao Dan stretched out his hand and pointed to the pool in front of him, and smiled at the wives and children around him: "Who knows what the name of this pool is?" ”

This time, it was the princess Zhao Yi who shouted: "Father, this is the swimming pool!" ”

The word swimming pool, of course, was learned by Zhao Yi with his father.

Zhao Dan smiled: "Of course this is a swimming pool, and the widow asked the name of this swimming pool." ”

The eldest son Zhao Heng on the side said: "Father, isn't this the so-called 'wine pool'?" ”
