"Jin Qing knows astronomy and geography, and he is really a first-class genius of my Great Song Dynasty!" He still doesn't understand the physical phenomena such as the expansion of the volume of the air when it is heated and the decrease in density, but he has admired the talent of the colt to the ground.

"It's nothing, it's just a child's plaything, and nothing else. However, the younger brother has an object that can make people really fly, but he can't ......build it for a long time because he can't separate himself."

Looking at the ancients around him who were older than himself, but whose spirit of exploring the unknown was higher than himself, Hong Tao began to bubble up again, and the only people around him who could really be called inventors were him and Huang Huai'an.

Lao Huang is good at mechanical structure, and he is more specialized, so he can only take Shen Kuo to open the knife. As the saying goes, those who can work harder, as long as they don't have time to get it, they can throw it to him, as for whether he is tired or not, he can't take care of it.

"Oh! What? Can you say that it is not difficult to survey and map, I have a lot of free time. "Shen Kuo met Hong Tao and counted down eight lifetimes of mold, and every time he was calculated, he took the initiative to drill the sleeve again and again.

"It's called an airplane, and it looks like a dragonfly. According to the calculation of the younger brother, if the size is reasonable, you can use the wind to carry one or two people to fly thousands of steps without falling. "Glider, this is what Hong Tao wants Shen Kuo to study.

Does it have practical value? Basically, there is none, so Hong Tao doesn't do it. But it was enlightening and exposed the ancients to new issues that they had never considered before. By delving into these questions, a window can be opened for them.

I don't know what kind of beautiful scenery I can see from this window, and I don't want to care. Love what you see, what you see, kill or bury it is my consistent style.

"Yes, there can be a picture...... Drawing? "Shen Kuo really doesn't want to ask for other people's drawings, he is neither a master nor an apprentice, nor a family member, why. But it's really itchy in my heart, I can fly like a dragonfly, and I can fly thousands of steps high, what does it feel like?

These words would be laughing if they came out of someone else's mouth, but they were different when they came out of the mouth of a colt. I'm not flying right now, I don't have the confidence to say I don't believe it, and my feet don't touch the ground.

"The drawings are ready-made, but the official has one condition that needs Brother Shen's approval. As long as it involves that the test must be replaced by someone else, can it be accepted? ”

Hong Tao wanted Shen Kuo to exert his maximum residual heat, but he didn't want him to fall to his death. There are not many such talents, and one less is a loss for all mankind, let alone death in their own hands.

“…… I don't know why? Shen Kuo naturally didn't understand what the risks of the test vehicle would be, and he was a little puzzled by this requirement.

"There is no reason, if the gentleman says, there will be drawings if he agrees, and if he doesn't agree, there will be no drawings!" It doesn't need to be explained, and it can't be explained.

"It's hard to chase a horse!" The two hands clapped together heavily, and neither of the two people clapping knew what this beat would bring.

At the end of May, the Liao delegation arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, which was quite large, with 50 or 60 people with cars and horses, and swaggering from the post road. The people in the team were neither armoured nor armed, as if they were walking on their own turf, and they had no consciousness of entering the enemy country.

Hong Tao was wearing court clothes at this time, and a group of special forces dressed as servants stood at the gate of the city to greet him. Not only did he come, but Cao Si, Xian Si, and Cang Si, including Wang Shao, the leader of the forbidden army, all arrived, and they were all dressed and standing stupidly.

This is really not Hong Tao's original intention, he can't stop others if they want to come, but if you want to enter the Daimyo's Mansion, you must go through the new army to check the customs clearance documents, and you have to check that your belongings are correct before you can stay in the pavilion.

It's a pity that he can't call the shots in this matter, not only can't he be the master, but he also has to follow along to make stupid mistakes. Because the imperial court sent the Ministry of Rites Yu Shilang to preside over the reception work, they were not only high-ranking officials from the third grade, but also held a serious 800 holy decree in their hands.

Wang Shao had seen this decree the first day, and then he happily told the horse that he could finally put his heart in his stomach. He was relieved, but Hong Tao was unlucky, and the holy decree clearly stated that the officials of the Daimyo Mansion and Hebei Road must obey the dispatch.

"Master Zhang, how come they have bare heads and hair, don't the Khitans all have hair?" When the Liao envoy approached Hong Tao and had another problem, Shen Kuo stood opposite, and could only ask Zhang Qi beside him.

"The Khitan was born with hair, and the people who grew their hair were Han people from the north, and the prince asked ...... first" Zhang Qi didn't look at it at fifty, but his kung fu was much stronger than that of Hong Tao, and he didn't move for more than half an hour.

Looking at this old man who has been walking around all the time, he is a little tired, a first-class official, standing or sitting, so that outsiders can see that it is too embarrassing for the court.

"It's better for Master Zhang to ask first, what is there to fight for this thing." Yu Shilang had already greeted him, and the officials of the government road present also had to follow according to their rank and official position, but Hong Tao still had no desire to meet him.

"Hehehe...... Long admiration, long admiration...... Hahaha...... Faux pas...... Hey, hey, hey...... Hard work...... "From beginning to end, Hong Tao didn't raise his eyelids to look at people, and when Yu Shilang introduced himself, he hummed and chirped, and not a word was useful.

"Lord Yu, this official occasionally felt a cold yesterday, and he always had a stomach upset, so he didn't attend the rest of the banquet, and General Miao took the position of the commander, and Lord Zhou took the position of the prefect. Wasp, go back to the house with the official to recuperate. ”

As soon as he heard that the greeting was not enough, and there was a reception banquet behind, Hong Tao immediately asked for sick leave. The holy decree only said that he should be dispatched, but did not say that he should not be sick. In fact, why did the eldest brother give Yu Shilang a holy decree, Hong Tao knew very well in his heart, wasn't he afraid that he would make trouble, and no one would be able to control it.

Of course, Yu Shilang didn't mind the absence of the crazy horse, and he didn't want to see this face at all, if it weren't for the fact that the horse was a daimyo prefect and a legitimate local magistrate, he wouldn't have participated in the welcoming ceremony.

It is estimated that the other officials present, including Wang Shao and Shen Kuo, also hope that the horses will leave quickly, just looking at that reluctant stinky face makes people tremble, and if they stay any longer, they will suddenly go crazy and bite the envoys of Liao.

"The prefect is slow, and the official is not good at drinking, and he doesn't like the dishes of the Southern Dynasties. However, the name of the horse dish is well known in Kaifeng City, and the horse wine is even more pure and strong, I don't know if I can let the official relieve the desire of the tongue? ”

I didn't even say hello and wanted to slip away, but unfortunately the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, and a rich baritone voice came from behind, nailing Hong Tao's footsteps. Everyone has named names, and it is obviously inappropriate to pretend not to hear.

It seems that Wang Shao is right, what kind of Liao State mission, these grandsons are here for themselves. Presumably, the battle of Liangzhou brought a greater shock to the Liao State than the Northern Song Dynasty, and Bao Buqi had already sent envoys to Western Xia to inquire about his affairs.

When I turned around, there were two people, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, standing four or five meters away, both wearing hats, both with hair and skin, and their robes and pants looked like skin.

The speaker is tall and strong, and the hair around him is braided into small braids, and each one is hung with trinkets, which is very hip-hop style. It's just that the beard is not neatly cleaned up, and it looks a little sloppy.

"This adult has good ears, you are ......" Hong Tao really didn't listen to the introduction just now, and he didn't have the idea to look at it, just pay attention to whether there are any young and beautiful girls in the team, but he was very disappointed, not a single one.

"Xiao Wuna, the king of Lanling County of Daliao and the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan. This is the newly promoted privy deputy envoy of the Southern Yuan, Xiao Tri, the nephew of the official family, who has long heard of horse vegetables and horse wine, can you give it? ”

Don't look at the dress of these two and look a little rough, but when they speak, they are very neat and neat, and their accents are there but not heavy. Shen Kuo said that some nobles in the Khitan, especially the royal family and descendants, were very keen on the culture of the Central Plains.

They have learned Chinese characters, Chinese dialect, and written articles and poems since they were children, and their level of writing and poetry is not to be said to be comparable to that of the Northern Song Dynasty Jinshi, but it is not too much. These two are both surnamed Xiao, presumably from the Khitan queen family, so it is not surprising that they have such attainments.

"Lord Yu has already prepared a banquet, do you want to change the Japanese official to come to the door and invite you again?"

I don't care if it's a descendant, a surname Yelu or a surname Xiao Hongtao, and in another year or two, I will have a surname and die! Inviting them to eat is a waste of food, and it is a waste of time for Green Lotus and Purple Chrysanthemum, so forget it.

"It's okay, it's okay, this official will accompany the envoy back to Beijing tomorrow, and the king of Lanling County and the founding prince will still have a little bit in the capital city. Lord Wang is the Lord, so there is no need for this kind of hospitality to be said by the official. ”

What's the most hateful? Not an enemy, but a traitor who betrayed his own people at a critical moment. Yu Shilang was a traitor in Hong Tao's eyes at this time, and he deliberately made trouble without helping his own people get rid of him, so that he could not get off the stage.

"That's it, do you want to eat? If you want to go together, the official's horse dishes are easy not to do, and you will be full if you do it once, and if you want to eat, you can quickly return home with the official, and if you don't want to eat it now, you won't have a chance. Wasp, send someone to inform the green lotus purple chrysanthemum, and tell them to go back to the house to prepare. Belch...... Shaw...... The king of the county, right, the official still has to go to the river to catch two fish into the dish, do you two go to the house to drink tea first, or walk around with the official? ”

Since he couldn't hide, and there were pig teammates digging pits, Hong Tao simply didn't pretend. What etiquette is not polite, it's too late to sharpen the gun, and it's okay to do whatever you want. As long as you remember one thing, don't hit people, and it is estimated that the eldest brother will not complain about himself.

"The Founding Marquis will catch fish! The official should see and learn, go together, go together! "Please, please, except for the small privy envoy who is interested, there is no third person in the Liao delegation who stands up and wants to eat the horse dishes. It seems that they must have discussed it, and the two privy councillors are specifically dealing with themselves, and the others are not involved.

"Prepare the car!" Hong Tao despises his opponent at the strategic level, but attaches great importance to it at the tactical level. He didn't even ride a horse, but got into a carriage.

I really can't figure out what these two Liao State privy envoys are thinking, in case they suddenly attack themselves, the little one is okay to say, that tall and strong is really difficult to deal with, even if the wasp is by his side, he can't stop the two in an instant.
