Su Shi, the old man, is also quite interesting, and it seems that he is also willing to let the two young people develop. Yes, outsiders are so concerned, I can only be tired of being a father, so I have to be very honored to prepare wine and food honestly.

This meal was more uncomfortable than when he and Wang Anshi tried each other in the alum building. People can't talk about the topic themselves, and they can't blindly cater to it, so it's easier to show their ugliness. However, it is not possible to directly admit that you don't understand, after all, Wang Xiaoya wants face, and part of her father's face is also his.

"You can't save the country by relying on poetry and songs, you can't retreat from strong enemies, and you can't enrich the people. It is enough to study and study culture and history, cultivate and cultivate sentiments, and do not take this as the highest pursuit of life. ”

can't talk together, and you can't get up and leave for no reason, and you have to be vigilant not to lose face to your daughter at all times, the difficulty of this job is too high, Hong Tao feels that he can't complete it.

What to do, there are some methods, such as deliberately provoking topics that are prone to disputes, and after a few arguments, they will walk away. It's a bit of a faux pas, but it's more about not conspiring with each other, and it's not a shame.

"The regent's words are ...... bad" Sure enough, the two little guys immediately got set, Wang Xiaoya was still a little afraid of her father, she just pouted and didn't squeak, but Qin Zhan didn't understand the power of the regent, and immediately put forward a different opinion.

"Deal with it, don't be impulsive, you, the principal, can be called a model for my generation in terms of right and wrong, but you are sharper in harming people. Jin Qing, don't always be embarrassed for the juniors, you go to be busy with your country's affairs, there is the eldest princess here to accompany you is already flourishing, and it is not beautiful to have you alone. ”

But Qin Zhan's words were interrupted by Su Shi, who was always treacherous and slippery, and saw through Hong Tao's little tricks at a glance, and he didn't have the degree to tolerate people, so he immediately exposed it.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Brother Su, who knows me! Lady, Dai Fujun entertains Qin Gongzi. Little girl, Daddy is gone. ”

was exposed, Hong Tao laughed instead. This short exposé is good, saving the trouble of tongue, and it will not offend her daughter's friends because of her sharp teeth and sharp mouth. Young people pay more attention to face, in case they are said to be unbearable, Xiaoya will have to hate herself for at least five years.

In fact, whether it is suitable for his daughter or not, Hong Tao doesn't know, and what he thinks is good may not be his daughter's eye. The eldest princess should be better at this, and her daughter's heart will not reveal too much to her father, Wang Xiaoya is not one of those adopted daughters in the children's group, and she comes to report to herself in those days of the month.

Su Shi took Qin Zhan to live in the regent palace for three days, and before leaving, he took away a floor-to-ceiling red coral ornament in Hong Tao's study. When the car was loaded, Hong Tao stood on the bell tower and watched through the binoculars, and did not dare to stop or squeeze Old Man Su.

"Official, didn't you say that coral is peerless, even if the emperor wants it, he won't give it?" Wang Xin is also in the bell tower, he has been requisitioned by Hong Tao in the past few days, hiding on the top floor of the bell tower to write and paint.

"It's grown in extreme South Australia, and there's a place called the Great Barrier Reef, and it's full of all kinds of corals underneath, and it's hard to get. The emperor naturally can't give it, but my daughter wants it, and if she does, she will give it. ”

This coral was brought by Chen Niangtuo two years ago, saying that it was exchanged with a Nanyang merchant for whale oil. At that time, Hong Tao didn't think much about it, and later Chen Niang moved to Australia with the Jews, and he thought about it.

What kind of Nanyang merchants, there is no such bright, large whole coral in the Great Song Palace, obviously, Nanyang merchants can't get it. Its origin is not Southeast Asia, and it is likely that it was brought back from Australia by a secret expedition sent out from Jeju Island.

Take it away, take it away, this matter is the idea of the eldest princess, and it is not for Su Shi, but it is transferred by Su Shi's hand to Qin Zhan and his father Qin Guan, which is part of the dowry.

Wang Xiaoya and Qin Zhan's matter The eldest princess has basically been settled, Hong Tao naturally has no opinion, now it depends on whether Old Man Su's face is enough, if he doesn't have him in the middle to protect the media, this family business is really enough.

In the minds of many literati in the Great Song Dynasty, the regent is a ruthless butcher and a thief with wolf ambitions, and his methods are worse than Cao Cao, and the result will not be much stronger than Wang Mang.

"This time, the official, you miscalculated, it is the same for any boy or girl, it is better to have a son, and the daughter is a money-loser!"

Why was this coral sent out Wang Xin also heard a little, there are no secrets in this palace except for family and state affairs, the regent got up in the morning and let out a few farts, and he could be known by everyone in the palace before he had lunch. For no other reason, there are too many women, and it is unwise to expect them to keep their parents secret.

"What a fart, your father gave birth to you, and he didn't draw the drawings for three days, and he has to spend money to marry your daughter-in-law, don't you lose money!" Dare to say that his daughter is a money-loser, and she must be resolutely cracked down.

In the past few days, Hong Tao did not come to the bell tower to hide and relax, but to ask Wang Xin to draw the process structure of the steam engine. This thing is more labor-intensive, and you can't make a single mistake in the slightest, otherwise the parts and components made according to the drawings will be all waste.

Shen Kuo can't count on it, the little train is enough for him to play for half a year, but the finalized production of the steam engine can't wait for half a year, Hong Tao still wants to ride a steam-powered sail battleship across the world and go to Australia to bully Chen Niang and cry.

Steam-powered sail battleships? Isn't this a bit of a fart off your pants, you have a steam engine, and you have to use the sail to dry the hair. That being said, but, for a long time, long-distance ships were inseparable from sails.

Because the steam engine does not have the ability to independently propel large-tonnage long-distance ships, even if Shen Kuo and Wang Xin do nothing and specialize in developing a steam engine with a larger volume and stronger output power, it will also take time to introduce this medicine, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight without sufficient practical experience accumulation.

Besides, even if the marine steam engine can be built immediately, there are not so many supply ports for coal along the way, and it is better to sail along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, peat as fuel has been promoted by hardware stores for more than ten years, but what about abroad? You can't just go to one place and send someone to explore one place, and wait for the coal mine to be built and put into production.

Before the supply port was prepared, the long-distance ships still had to be sail-powered, supplemented by steam engines. When the wind is right, sail by sail, and ignite the steam engine when the wind is too small or the wind direction is wrong, which can generally increase the speed and range a little longer, especially when it encounters a windless belt, the steam engine is a big killer.

What Wang Xin drew was the mass production version of the steam engine prototype, which was an enlarged version based on the data of Shen Kuo's steam engine, and it is not clear how much power there is, and the thermal efficiency value is not clear, and it is difficult to calculate how many looms can be driven.

No problem, under the agitation of Hong Tao, the Great Song Dynasty did everything one by one, and the development of science and technology was very uneven, many fields were blank, and there was a lack of necessary theoretical research systems. This course has to be made up slowly, anyway, Hong Tao doesn't plan to work on this god, so let the children do it.

Now my biggest task is to act recklessly, eat whatever I want, play whatever I want. After 20 years of hard work, I have been worried all the time and walked on thin ice, and finally won the success of the bloodless reform, and I should enjoy it.

If you want to enjoy it, you have to be rich, and the previous industry has been snatched away by the promotion society by various means and turned into social property, and it has nothing to do with the regent's palace. With his own identity, he can't pull down his face to grab food from others, and he can't sit and eat empty.

No one had ever made a steam engine before, and someone had to rush to buy it when it was made, it was a unique business, no competition, no bidding, and it was the most suitable for itself. Of course, after two years of making money, Wang Er and the others still had to come to them with red eyes, and Lai Pilai bought the steam engine factory and the skilled workers with three melons and two dates, and continued to fill their big holes.

It doesn't matter, they snatched the steam engine, and the train. At that time, it is estimated that the reform of the whole country will be almost carried out, and he will find a few big businessmen to build a joint venture to build a railway, and become a railway tycoon of the Great Song Dynasty, and see who can still snatch it!
