Emperor Hongzhi was already up at this time, and in the distance, a team of fast horses came.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at it, knowing that the commander of Weili and other officials had already learned the news, and they rushed here in a hurry.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a calm face: "I don't want to see them, let's go, get in the car." ”

He got into the car, Fang Jifan also got on his horse, and a team of people hurried away.

The commander of the Yongqing Left Guard watched the car drive, and at this time, he ...... But he reined in his horse and hesitated to step forward.

Looking at the old man who was still cutting wheat in the ridge, he pointed at the old man with a horsewhip: "You...... Come here......"

The old man went up to the ridge, looked at the commander and the thousands of officials, his face turned blue with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Humble and high-ranking old man, I have seen it...... I've seen ......."

"Say!" The commander said eagerly: "What did you, Your Majesty, and the Duke of Qi Guogong say?" ”

"Your Majesty...... His Majesty ...... "Gao Lao He was like being struck by lightning.

In fact, the commander also thought at first that it was just the Duke of Qi who came to patrol the camp by order, but the factory guard actually found the door and wanted to find His Majesty, at this time...... Only then did he know that His Majesty had come in person.

The commander was already anxious to stomp his feet, and now that he saw His Majesty leave directly, he was nervous again.

The old man who had just spoken...... Is it Your Majesty?

Gao Laohe, no matter what, couldn't have imagined that he was the one who was talking and laughing with him......

He was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.

But the commander and others were in a hurry: "Say it quickly, say it......"

Gao Laohe took a deep breath and muttered, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty talks to me, Your Majesty and I play homely, Your Majesty ...... He...... He...... Could it be that young man, it is the Duke of Qi Guo...... Ah, no wonder I look at him, his eyebrows are clear, and he is so amiable......"

He was talking nonsense.

The conductor lifted him up and was completely angry: "Dog, you say! What exactly was said? ”

Gao Laohe thought about it for a while, and looked honest: "Your Majesty said, Weili, you have to send me 3,000 catties of rice." ”

"What?" The conductor was stunned.

This...... It's true?

The biggest tragedy of this kind of thing is that no one can falsify it, do you still run to the emperor, did you ask Wei Li to give Gao Lao and rice?

They looked at each other and could only choose to believe.

But here's the problem...... What is the profound meaning of Your Majesty's words?

Why 3,000 catties? Could it be ...... These three thousand are imaginary numbers, like a torrent that goes straight down three thousand feet.

And why, is it rice?

Could it be that Your Majesty thinks ...... We treated the soldiers brutally, so we specifically mentioned rice to make us ......

Or......

Countless thoughts came to mind.

The conductor was blue and white.

Looking at the panicked Gao Laohe, he wanted to be angry, but after thinking about it carefully, this person talked to His Majesty again, God knows, if he said or did something today, he would be detected by the Jinyi Guard, and finally reported to the emperor.

So, the commander smiled: "Gao Laohe, yes, yes, I knew that you were a proper person, three thousand catties of grain, small meaning, come here, send it to him tomorrow." ”

Gao Lao was happy, showing his big yellow teeth, and his smile was still honest.

Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly returned to the palace, and he had something on his mind.

The music that has not been disposed of is still piled up on his desk, he took a deep breath, and went out for most of the day, and the government affairs still can't be wasted.

So, I picked up the note, but the note in front of me came from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was the imperial history that impeached Fang Jifan, saying that Fang Jifan misled people's children and made the emperor's grandson's temperament change greatly, and I implore Your Majesty to choose another good teacher for the emperor's grandson.

Of course, I don't know if this imperial historian found out with his conscience, or if this guy was afraid of being retaliated against, and in the impeachment of the other party's successor, his tone was very tactful, only saying that Qi Guogong was not suitable for Yunyun.

But when Emperor Hongzhi saw this, his already unhappy face seemed to have a layer of frost, and he threw it away and snorted coldly.

"Xiao Companion ......"

"The slave is here."

Emperor Hongzhi pointed his finger at Song Shu: "This imperial history, check his details......"

Xiao Jing was stunned...... Just as he was about to see which Yushi it was, he hit the muzzle of the gun.

But then, Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "That's it, this recital, stay in the middle and don't send it, just ignore him." ”

"Yes."

………

Fang Jifan and Emperor Hongzhi parted ways and returned to Xishan, but Zhu Houzhao was in the Zhenguo Mansion, waiting for him anxiously.

"Old Fang, where have you been?"

Fang Jifan saw Zhu Houzhao, he was very kind, his own brother, every time, Zhu Houzhao was in front of him, looking at his sincere appearance, he could bring a healing effect to his heart: "I am ordered to patrol the Beijing camp." ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes lit up: "Why didn't you say it earlier, this palace can also go with you." ”

Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao mysteriously; "The matter here is very complicated, and His Majesty has also gone, of course...... I can't admit that Your Majesty has gone. Even if everyone knew that His Majesty had gone, His Majesty had not gone in the official face. ”

Zhu Houzhao felt a little dizzy: "Father has been a little wild recently, but ...... Ha ha...... The palace rushed to Ming'er, and also issued a decree to patrol the camp. ”

Fang Jifan's face turned green with fright: "It can't be awarded again, it will be exposed, the same thing, you can't deceive others twice." ”

Zhu Houzhao scratched his head: "What deceived twice, old Fang, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Fang Jifan shook his head as if he was rattling.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Fang Jifan refused to speak, so he sighed and said: "There are more and more secrets in your heart, not as good as at the beginning, no matter what, there are two major things when I came to look for you today." This first piece, the bell, the bell...... Look at what Hongu has brought. ”

He grabbed a bag from the case, shook it open, and a woolen jacket was revealed.

Fang Jifan: "......"

"I'm tired of this palace, I have woven more than 30 pieces, my father's, my mother's, my great-grandmother's, my sister and yours, as well as Zaimo and Zhengqing, and the daughter of this palace...... Guys...... Put it on and try it out. ”

...... on this hot day

Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed.

But......

Fang Jifan reluctantly put the sweater into his body, not to mention, the craftsmanship is very good, and the appearance is also very new, Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands and looked excited: "This palace is not boasting, in this world, no one is better than this palace, the sister in this palace, that is, your mother-in-law, her hands are very clumsy, such a person marries a woman, what can he do, don't talk about her, I'll see, where needs to be changed." ”

He carefully circled around Fang Jifan, and couldn't help but admire his craftsmanship: "It's really ingenious, there is no one in the world who can match it." ”

Fang Jifan felt a little hot, hurriedly took off his sweater, and said, "Your Highness's hands are indeed beyond the reach of people, what is the second thing?" ”

"The steam engine has been loaded onto the ship."

Fang Jifan was a little confused: "So fast? ”

"Fast?" Zhu Houzhao said: "It's been more than a year, thousands of craftsmen have been recruited, and all the experts of Xishan Academy are on call at any time, and the silver spent has gone to the sky, and it is tens of thousands of taels a day......

As soon as Fang Jifan thought of silver, he wanted to die.

But...... The research of steam technology, in the entire West Mountain, can indeed be called the Manhattan Project, not just a hobby, but a mobilization of all the forces that can be called to overcome one difficulty after another.

If it is just an individual to do the research on his own, it may take 10 or 20 years, or even a mile, and it may not be practical.

But for such an investment in the steam research institute, as long as there is no mistake in the direction, the leader of scientific research has a sufficient level, and the principle of the steam engine has been figured out, the next step is just a matter of countless experiments.

Fang Jifan said: "Are you sure you can use it?" ”

"Not sure." Zhu Houzhao said: "Now it's just loaded on the boat, and it's not a sea boat, the wind and waves at sea are big, so the first thing to use is an ordinary boat, and the test will be carried out in the lake, and tomorrow will ...... It's time to test the water in the river, and if it works, then load it onto the seaboat. ”

Originally...... It's not as Fang Jifan imagined, Niu Fork.

This made Fang Jifan a little disappointed.

But...... Even so, it's exciting news: "I'll try wherever I try tomorrow." ”

The two brothers suddenly became excited.

Zhu Houzhao brought a large number of drawings, took them out, and patiently explained his ideas to Fang Jifan.

How to use steam power to design a transmission system.

Clean water problems, how to solve them.

The boiler is on board, how to ensure stability.

What he said was relishing, and Fang Jifan seemed to understand and listened.

He understood the principle of the steam engine, but when it came to actual research, Fang Jifan was a little confused.

But...... That didn't stop him from listening.

It's a cost of money.

Lots and lots of money were spent.

The more jerky and difficult Zhu Houzhao said, the more Fang Jifan felt awesome when he listened to it, and it was good to explain that his silver was worth it.

"So, this river test ...... It is to prepare for the sea trial, and there are still some difficulties in the sea trial, but ...... You have to go down to sea to find out, and then find a way to solve him, in order to commemorate this first steamship, the name of this ship, it must be meaningful, I thought about it all night. Back then, Xu Jing went to the sea, took the scum Wang Bushi in the world, and traveled around the Western Ocean, this scum Wang Bushi in the world is really of great significance, and soon after, this Wang Bushi may have to be retired, after all, the ship ...... It's getting more and more outdated, so ...... The one we are testing the water now might as well be called the scum Wang Bushi in the world, oops, speaking of which, the more you hear about the name of this ship, the more catchy it is, at the beginning...... How did you come up with it, sometimes, I really admire myself. ”

Fang Jifan recalled hard, yes, at the beginning...... How did you come up with such a majestic ship's name?

"Okay, just listen to Your Highness, but say in advance, if you fail to enter the water, Your Highness, I'm not done with you!"

Go to bed.
