"Is this water sea water?" Li Shimin reached out and touched the water in the pool. In his understanding, only sea water is blue.
"Your Majesty, the sea is also colorless and transparent, but it is boundless and unfathomable. Only when it reflects the blue sky can we see the blue ocean," Merton explained.
"This water is the water from Taiye pool, but it is only added with gall alum. In order to remove algae and prevent the water quality from deteriorating, your majesty can rest assured that the imperial doctor has tested it and there is no harm to the human body!"
Merton certainly wouldn't say that apart from algae, the biggest role of adding alum is to make the pool slightly blue and beautify the water quality. Otherwise, there are many chemicals in future generations. Why do you choose alum.
Li Shimin nodded. Naturally, some people in the palace would sit through the security inspection procedure, otherwise there would be no scene of acceptance today.
"This is the children's area. The water depth is no more than three feet. There's no need to worry about the danger of your princes." Merton, half a step behind, introduced Li Shimin and Wei Guifei by pointing to a shallow auxiliary pool with a clear bottom.
The swimming pool is a place for the whole family to rest, of course. It is more about playing with children. If only one adult is allowed to swim here, it will soon become boring.
"This is the adult area, which is divided into shallow water rest area, deep water area, diving platform, swimming pool and track."
The difference between shallow water area and deep water area brightened Li Shimin's eyes, but he didn't care. What really interested him was the platform jumping and the track.
"Platform jumping is very interesting?" Li Shimin smiled.
"When Wei Chen was a child, his favorite thing in summer was to jump into the water again and again, and the idea involved this diving platform." Merton explained that if the swimming pool was just swimming, it would be boring. Adding diving would certainly be ten times more interesting.
"My concubine will be very curious about the swimming pool track?" Wei Guifei said curiously. There is no swimming competition in this era.
"The pool track is to race who swims fast and enhance interest," Merton explained. A simple bath may not be very meaningful,
"Why?" Princess Wei said with a smile.
Merton explained: "Weichen believes that swimming is the best way to exercise. People consume energy very much in the water, do not hurt their body, and play a role in slimming and beautifying their appearance."
You don't see those sports in later generations. Which of the other events is not full of injuries and injuries, only swimming. I rarely hear of injuries and injuries, and they are all good in shape and temperament, which shows the benefits of swimming.
Which one of the prince's sons and grandchildren is not expensive? Building other sports venues must be thankless. Only the swimming pool is the most suitable.
As for the problem of drowning, which Prince is not full of people behind him doesn't need to be considered at all.
"Is fifty steps too short? I can swim to the end in one breath!" Li Shimin shook his head at the 50 step swimming lane, but Merton's swimming pool track can be divided into five tracks, which can accommodate five people.
"Your Majesty, fifty steps is not short. If you swim to 50 meters, you can continue to swim backwards. If you go back and forth several times, you will open the gap and distinguish the victory and defeat." Merton said with a bitter smile. Can you compare it in the swimming pool with that in the natural pond!
Li Shimin nodded regretfully and accepted Merton's compromise proposal. The place is limited. It's good to be able to do this step.
"Your Majesty, please try the man-made beach created by Weichen for you!" Merton pointed to the north side of the pool. The north side is the most sunny, which is the best site for the man-made beach.
Looking sideways, the north side of the swimming pool is covered with golden sand. In the middle of the beach, five big wooden umbrellas are opened, leaving a large shady place. Two beach chairs are placed under each umbrella for people to rest.
The man-made beach is Merton's biggest regret for building a swimming pool in Merton house. Now it has finally made up for it by borrowing the power of the royal family.
"Is this river sand?" Li Shimin bent his head and grabbed a handful of sand. He couldn't buy it.
Merton nodded. It is this man-made beach that is the finishing touch of the swimming pool. Sunshine, beach and sea water form a unique charm.
After all, there are several people who have been to the sea. The swimming pool and beach in front of us can completely replace the reverie of the sea. At least Princess Wei has been deeply infatuated with it.
"I don't know how your brain grows. It's easy for others to do things that are difficult and difficult in your hands!" Li Shimin sighed as he lay on the beach chair and looked at the blue pool water in front of him.
Li Shimin, who was eagerly served by Wei Guifei, ate the latest masterpiece of Zhou Yuchu - yogurt ice cream.
"This is the boy's reverie about the sea. The boy has never been to the sea, but he yearns for it. He has to build one according to his own imagination!" Merton found a specious reason.
"Others just think about what they think, but Lord Mo turns his ideas into reality. I'm afraid this is the uniqueness of Mohism!" sighed Princess Wei.
Li Shimin also nodded slightly. Mohism really gave him too many surprises.
"Your Majesty, my concubine also wants to build a swimming pool in the bedroom!" Princess Wei was obviously conquered by this beautiful scenery. The swimming pool in front of her was close to the Taiye pool. It was obviously built for Li Shimin and the princes. How can the concubines and the princes share the same pool.
When Merton built it, he also considered building two swimming pools at the same time, one male and one female. However, even if the middle is separated by a wall, the hip-hop sound can be heard clearly. It is also a big taboo and can not coexist, so he simply went all out to build the swimming pool to the most perfect beauty.
Li Shimin immediately turned his eyes to Merton. Merton quickly shook his head and said, "Weichen should not enter the harem, but the specific drawings have been handed over to the general supervisor. I believe it is not difficult to copy this swimming pool according to the people in the palace."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "let pound do it!"
"Yes!" said pound.
At this point, Merton's mission has been completed and leaves the palace immediately.
Out of the rosefinch gate, Merton breathed a sigh of relief. Merton's three bombs for summer vacation, swimming pool and ice making have been introduced into the palace, but there is no sense of caring for Merton to recommend to Li Shimin.
After all, in the swimming pool, saltpeter can only be enjoyed by rich people. It is natural that it is introduced into the palace, and T-shirt is the clothing of civilians. It is high-quality and cheap. It is naturally attractive to ordinary people, and it is God's help. I believe that in this hot weather, Chang'an City may have been popular for a time!
The swimming pool and ice making method can only be spread from top to bottom because of the cost, and the T-shirt will also be spread from bottom to top because of the cost. When Chang'an city accepts such clothes, it will naturally be introduced into the palace.
Merton believes that with the passage of time, everything he does will drop into the water like drops of ink, leaving an ink color that will never be clear.
