Chapter 712: Steamship
The snow that had been falling all night stopped in the early morning, but the wind was still fierce, and the cold seemed to turn into a knife in the wind, and it hurt people's faces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Telling the palace maid not to alarm Cui Xue'er, Xiao Ming stepped on the thick snow and returned to the dormitory alone.
Fei Yue'er had just gotten up at this time, and when she saw Xiao Ming coming back with a smile on her face, she said, "Has the emperor had breakfast?" “
Xiao Ming shook his head, he found that Fei Yue'er's smile was strange, as if he had insight into everything last night, but the line was so big, he knew that he couldn't hide it.
Fei Yue'er didn't seem to mention it tacitly, she asked Xiaohuan to inform the dining room to prepare two meals to the dormitory, and then she said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have recovered a little these days, and I want to go for a walk in this women's school." “
This women's school was established by Fei Yue'er with the purpose of cultivating some talented women.
Since the establishment of this women's school, Fei Yueer has been very attentive and always hopes to produce some talented women comparable to men.
"How can this work, you can't walk around without a month, not to mention it's cold outside." Xiao Ming refused directly.
Fei Yue'er said: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't want to go, but someone sent this this morning. “
After that, Fei Yue'er took a model ship to Xiao Ming.
Taking over the model ship, Xiao Ming took a closer look, this is a pure wooden model ship, but unlike other ships, this ship actually has a propeller, and there is a steam engine inside the model.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming showed a look of surprise, "This thing was made by the people of your women's school?" ”
Fei Yue'er shook her head, and she said: "The emperor used to say that women are not allowed to have eyebrows, and the concubines seem to be lying. ”
Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed, he said, "How can you say this? ”
"If it were a man, the emperor would laugh happily, and he wouldn't be so unbelievable now." Fei Yue'er said: "Your Majesty, don't forget, the things in this women's school are all copied from Bowen Academy. “
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, speaking of which, he really never paid attention to this women's school, after all, the current main force for him was still male students.
"This is my negligence, it seems that there are amazing and brilliant characters in this women's school." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Fei Yue'er laughed softly, and said at this time: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the person who made this thing is actually Zhang Liang's daughter." “
"Zhang Liang's daughter?" Xiao Ming was immediately relieved, in addition to having an eldest son, this Zhang Liang also had a daughter born to a concubine.
When Zhang Liang was framed, he let the concubine escape with his daughter, and later he went to Dengzhou to find the concubine and his daughter.
"This pair of Zhang Liang's sons and daughters have some talent for shipbuilding." Xiao Ming said.
Fei Yue'er actually couldn't understand this model, but when she saw that there was a steam engine in this model, she felt a little incredible, so she wanted to take a look.
Fei Yue'er nodded, and she said, "Since the emperor doesn't let the concubines go, then this will be handed over to the emperor." “
"Then the queen should recruit her into the palace and ask what is going on, so that the queen will not go out." It is inconvenient for him to meddle in the affairs of this women's school.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine will let people call her."
After that, Fei Yue'er immediately sent someone.
At this time, Xiao Ming sat down with a model of a steam ship, and the appearance of the steam engine led to the change of two means of transportation, one was a steam locomotive and the other was a steam ship.
For Xiao Ming, it was natural for these two things to appear after the technical conditions of the steam engine were mature, so it was not surprising that Zhang Liang's daughter had come up with this thing this time.
After all, many people have seen the steam engine now, and they know very well that the steam engine can drive objects to rotate.
After breakfast, half an hour later, an ordinary-looking woman arrived at the dormitory under the guidance of Xiaohuan.
"Your Majesty, this is Zhang Qiyun, the daughter of Zhang Liang." Fei Yue'er said.
Xiao Ming looked at it fixedly, this Zhang Qiyun and Zhang Liang were generally a little dark, and their appearance was also somewhat similar.
As soon as Fei Yue'er's voice fell, this Zhang Qiyun looked at Xiao Ming with empty eyes, and then bowed down and said; "The people's daughter sees the emperor."
seemed to realize what Xiao Ming was thinking, Xiao Ming said: "Your Majesty, this Zhang Qiyun's eyes are a little difficult to see things, she looks like this when she looks at people, and she can only read books when she holds them very close on weekdays. ”
"Short-sightedness." Xiao Ming almost blurted out that he was also short-sighted in modern times, and he had already seen it.
Fei Yue'er showed a confused look, while Zhang Qiyun looked at Xiao Ming strangely.
Coughing twice to hide his embarrassment, Xiao Ming remembered that he had summoned this Qiyun for the matter of the steam engine steamer, and he would talk about it after the matter of myopia or presbyopia.
So he asked, "Did you make this model of a ship?" “
"Back to the emperor, it was the people's daughter who did it." Zhang Qiyun's words were a little blunt.
Xiao Ming nodded, this Zhang Qiyun gave him the feeling of being a modern ordinary-looking female scholar, and he said bluntly: "Can you let this kind of boat go in the water?" "
Zhang Qiyun said calmly: "If you can't go, the people don't dare to give it to the queen." “
Fei Yue'er became proud, and seemed to be happy that she had such an excellent student.
After staring at Zhang Qiyun for a while, Xiao Ming said: "In that case, I will give you a will, and this will can even make your father cooperate with you in producing this kind of ship, how about it?" “
In the past five years, the number of warships in the Navy has reached 52, and these 52 are all traditional sail warships.
For him, these 52 warships were more than enough to fight Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, but it would be difficult to compete with the West for supremacy at sea.
As the so-called 10-year army and 100-year navy, the navy of the Great Chongqing State, which also controls sail warships, does not have an advantage at sea, and is even likely to be defeated in a large-scale naval battle due to lack of combat experience.
Therefore, he never used the sail battleship as the main force of the navy, and he always kept the position of this steam battleship for the navy.
After the last court meeting, he was about to participate in the construction of this steam battleship, but he didn't expect this Zhang Liang's daughter to take out a model of a steam ship.
"The people's daughter is just a woman, how dare she participate in such a military event." Zhang Qiyun was a little nervous at this time, she was very afraid of her father.
Without waiting for Xiao Ming to speak, Fei Yue'er said crisply; "Don't be afraid, since the emperor has named your general, it means that the emperor values you very much, and you are a student of this palace, and this palace will support you, counting on you to be able to fight for the women's school, lest this Confucian student in Qingzhou criticize the women's college."
Zhang Qiyun looked at Xiao Ming, and then at Fei Yue'er, and her expression gradually became firm.
