Everyone was a little stunned by Li Ke's words, fairy tale? This thing also has this term in the Tang Dynasty, although it is less used, and there is no special children's story in the Tang Dynasty.
The main reason is that most children who are qualified to learn this knowledge basically start learning some ancient history books when they are five or six years old, and they learn more based on short stories from history.
Fairy tales, oh, His Highness must understand them. Sizi and the others have all heard of them. Li Ke told them.
There are actually folk tales, but most of them are adapted from myths and stories. Many folk tales are told to children.
So the officials present can all understand what the word fairy tale means, but if they understand, what does it have to do with fairy tale? As we all know, fairy tales are unrealistic. Could it be that His Highness wants to show them something unrealistic?
"Father, gentlemen, please be patient. Let's wait quietly here." Li Ke smiled and led them to a temporary viewing platform.
Although everyone was confused, they all sat down.
"Third brother, third brother, show me a fairy tale. What is it?" Jin Yang, who was sitting with Chang Le and the others, immediately asked curiously.
"Third brother, let me show you the legendary steel dragon." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Steel dragon? What is that? Why haven't I heard of it?" Jin Yang looked innocent.
Since today is not a very formal occasion, Sizi, Changle and other Li Ke's sisters who came with them all sat with Li Shimin and many ministers.
Not far from them, there were people from wealthy families invited by Li Ke, as well as some merchant families.
However, these people do not need to be received by Li Ke personally, and they have not arrived yet. After all, Li Shimin and his group are not crossing the river very fast, and it is naturally impossible for others to surpass Li Shimin, so they are all rushing in one after another at this moment. Coming.
Upon hearing Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang's inquiry, many of the ministers who were nearby pricked up their ears and listened.
"It is said that in the ancient times, there was a kind of giant dragon. It was different from the traditional dragon that was made of flesh and blood. Because it had mutated since childhood, its body was made of steel."
"But because it looked different from its own tribe, its tribesmen thought it was an alien, and began to exclude it and prevent it from integrating into the tribe."
"This giant steel dragon was very sad because no one wanted to be friends with it, so it chose to leave the territory of its own people and go to the lower world."
"After arriving in the mortal world, this giant steel dragon did not dare to see people at first. It hid in the mountains and lived next to the people of a small mountain village all day long. The people of this small mountain village were very simple. At first They were also a little scared when they accidentally saw the giant steel dragon."
"Later, because a child in the village accidentally encountered a beast, and the steel dragon rescued the child from the beast's mouth, these villagers were no longer afraid of the steel dragon. Many years passed like this. One year, the small mountain village followed Roads to the outside world were washed away by flash floods, and contact with the outside world was lost.”
"The material resources that small mountain villages rely on for survival are medicinal materials and prey in the mountains, which are taken to the market to exchange for rice, flour, grain, oil and salt. Now the medicinal materials and prey harvested by the villagers are piled up like mountains, but they cannot be transported out of the valley. If this continues , the fruits of the villagers' hard work were about to go moldy and deteriorate, and at this time the steel dragon stood up."
"Because its body is different from ordinary dragons. Its body is made of steel and does not need to eat, so it can let people put goods into its stomach. It can even carry people and goods from washed-out mountain roads. Come out, its body is very long, up to ten miles long, and it can pull eighty or ninety thousand tons of cargo."
"After it transported all the villagers' goods, it also gained its own reputation in the mortal world, so more and more people began to love it, and it was also happy to carry all the people and things to their destinations. ."
Li Ke casually made up a fairy tale for Si Zi.
After listening, Si Zi's eyes widened: "Third brother, are you telling the truth? Is there really a giant dragon made of steel? It can be more than ten miles long? It can also pull tens of thousands of tons. goods?"
Although Si Zi is not too young, she has obviously never heard of the story Li Ke told. She doesn't know how steel can form a giant dragon.
The other ministers looked at each other in shock. They thought His Highness was going to tell His Highness Jinyang something related to today, but this story... although they had never heard of the Iron Dragon, it was too ridiculous.
More than ten miles long...tens of thousands of tons of cargo.
I can't even think about it. Not to mention pulling so much cargo, how many tons of steel does such a long steel dragon have to carry?
Li Shimin was also a little speechless, but he did not disturb Li Ke's chat with his sisters.
"Of course it's true. There are not only such giant steel dragons, but also big birds made of steel that can fly into the sky. They can carry hundreds of people and travel tens of thousands of miles a day. It only takes a few hours from the southernmost point of the Tang Dynasty to the northernmost point of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Wow, what is this? The legendary roc? The steel roc?" Jin Yang asked in amazement.
"It can be called Dapeng." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Third brother, what else is made of this steel?"
"Also, there is a divine bird that can go directly to the moon. In the future, people can ride the divine bird to build the Guanghan Palace on the moon." Li Ke said with a smile.
Ministers: "..."
How come we haven’t heard of anything about Guanghan Palace in myths and legends? Are you making it up, Your Highness? And he went up to build it himself.
Forget it, His Highness is coaxing children to play, they should not take it seriously.
While Li Ke was telling stories to Jinyang, everyone who followed also rushed over one after another. Naturally, it was impossible for Li Ke to run to greet these people. If Li Ke did this, these people would probably not be able to sleep well at night, wondering whether they had any property that was targeted by His Highness.
Finally, when the crowd had almost arrived, Li Ke stood up from his seat and prepared to speak.
"Third brother, you haven't finished telling us your Journey to the West yet." Jinyang said a little aggrievedly.
"Third brother will tell you another day. Now third brother has to do business, be good." Li Ke smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Jinyang's head.
"Well, third brother, you must tell me what happened to the monkey Sun Wukong, and whether the seven gourd boys he met will become friends with him." Jin Yang said seriously.
"Okay." Li Ke waved his hand with a smile, and then walked to the podium.
