With the return of the merchants from Qingzhou, Xiao Ming established a chamber of commerce, auctioned soap and perfume in various states and counties, and the news of the right to sell in Qingzhou also spread in Dayu.

As the political center of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the powerful living here have always been particularly sensitive to this matter.

"Second brother, why didn't I see that the seventh child still has this ability."

Outside Chang'an City, Xiao Ju, the second prince and Xiao Mu, the sixth prince, who were dressed in military uniforms, were riding horses.

Behind the two of them were hundreds of guards, family members, and servants, and in front, dozens of sturdy hounds ran back and forth in the woods, looking for prey.

Xiao Ju held the bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes roamed the hunting grounds, hunting has always been his favorite thing, hearing the six princes say this, he smiled disdainfully: "It's just some cleverness, messing with these lowly businessmen all day long, it's really a cheap embryo!" “

"Hahaha, second brother Gao Jian, no matter how much this seventh man tosses, he is just a cheap embryo, hehe, Concubine Zhen is just the daughter of a seven-rank county order, he thinks that he can fly on the branch and become a phoenix when he climbs the prince, which is really ridiculous and generous." Xiao Mu laughed.

Xiao Ju sneered, "Gao Zhi? Hehe, the sixth brother can't help but think too much of the queen and the prince, in my opinion, the queen is now sick and rushed to the doctor, otherwise how to find a vassal king who is far away in the world, and only give 100,000 taels of silver, what is the difference between this and sending Hanako. ”

"Hey, second brother, isn't this King of Qi just a flower child?"

Xiao Mu and Xiao Ju glanced at each other and suddenly laughed.

At this moment, a fawn came out of the woods surrounded by hounds, Xiao Ju immediately bent his bow and arrows, and said, "Sixth brother, can you chase the deer with me?" ”

Xiao Mu was stunned, this meaning of chasing deer is the same as the meaning of competing for the world, he reined in his horse and raised his whip, and said loudly: "Second brother, when you ascend to the throne, it is better to catch the cheap embryo of the seventh child and throw it in this hunting ground, at that time the hunting is really interesting." ”

"Well, yes, plus a prince." A touch of viciousness flashed in Xiao Ju's eyes, and an arrow shot at the fawn that was running away, and with a "whoosh" sound, the fawn's neck was right now, and the fawn fell in a pool of blood with a sad roar.

In the palace of the king of Thailand, the third prince Xiao Zhen is reading a secret letter from Qingzhou.

Li Zhongzheng, the head of the household, was standing beside him, and also glanced at the contents of the letter, Li Zhong said: "Your Highness, the fourth prince is smart, and this time it is not easy to steal chickens and rice. “

"Hmph, he deliberately blamed me for the assassination of the King of Qi in Qingzhou, just to use this matter to force the King of Qi to fight against me with him, but unfortunately, the King of Qi did not make a public announcement about this matter, and it seems that he is as unwilling to be involved in the battle for the throne as the King of Wei back then." Xiao Zhen said.

Li Zhong frowned, "This King of Qi is strange, if it was before, he would have given the emperor a thorough investigation of this matter, but this time he was silent, but now he is mixed up with a group of merchants." “

"Maybe this old seven may be a smart person who wants to learn from the King of Wei back then." Xiao Zhen said with a smile.

"In that case, why don't Your Highness write a letter to the King of Qi to explain this matter, lest the King of Qi have a grudge against us." Li Zhong said.

"Uncle, it's still time to do so, let's observe King Qi for a while, if it's available, it's okay to seize the opportunity to use this matter again, and besides, King Qi's fief is too far away after all, and far water can't quench the thirst."

Li Zhong nodded, "The emperor praised you for being resourceful and decisive, as expected, but you can't be confident because of this, now that the position of Chang'an Assassin is vacant, if you find a way to take it, the tiger guards in Chang'an City will be under your control." ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult, the prince is keeping an eye on this very tightly, not to mention that there are other princes." Xiao Zhen's expression was solemn, mastering the Tiger Benwei was equivalent to adding another army to Chang'an, and no prince would give up easily.

In King Kang's Mansion, which is three streets away from the Thai Palace, the four princes are also discussing the matter of Hu Benwei with their ministers, but he is surrounded by people surnamed Zheng, and they are all humerus ministers in the court.

Like all the princes, they know very well that the battle for the throne is nothing more than the battle between the gate lords and clans behind the prince, the prince's Zhao family, the King of Thailand's Li family, and he represents the Zheng family.

"Sa'er, I advised you not to make dangerous moves, but now it's okay? Not only did the king of Qi not pursue this matter, but he alienated us, and he and the prince are close relatives. ”

Xiao Sa tore the news from Qingzhou to shreds, "Hmph, as long as the King of Thailand doesn't get cheap, it doesn't matter who he Xiao Ming takes refuge with, besides, Xiao Ming is just an insignificant person, and it doesn't hurt to follow the prince." ”

"No, no, I have a different opinion about Xiao Ming, since the assassination has passed, this Xiao Ming has changed his personality and vigorously rectified the fiefdom, maybe he will be a good helper in the future." Zheng Hongwen said that he was a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and unlike others, he was very interested in the strange craftsmanship in Xiao Ming's hands.

The fourth prince suddenly shook his head and sneered: "In the future? We can't wait for that time, how many years can my father's body last? ”

Zheng Hongwen was silent.

At this time in Qingzhou, Xiao Ming did not know the impact he had on Chang'an, he just worked step by step to build the industrial and agricultural foundation of Qingzhou.

Because Chang'an is just a distant place for him, a place where even a carriage ride takes ten days and half a month.

Since giving the silver to Pang Yukun and the others, Xiao Ming has been staring at the governor's mansion, shipyards, workshop areas, mines and other places all day long.

Pang Yukun took the silver, in addition to paying the arrears to the officials, the rest was to discuss with Xiao Ming the construction of waterwheels in various states.

"Your Highness, what kind of waterwheel is this? How come I've never seen one before, and there's no pedal on it for people to climb? When Xiao Ming drew the structure of a waterwheel, Pang Yukun said strangely.

The waterwheels of the Great Chongqing Kingdom are still at the level of rickshaw waterwheels, and most of them are tube cars, which are similar to the shape of modern Ferris wheels, and rely on people to step on them to draw water from the ground and send it to the cultivated land.

Xiao Ming said: "This is called a cow force overturn, using a cow to pull, of course there is no need for people." “

Pang Yukun looked incredulous, "Xiaguan has never seen Niu Lila's overturned, how could His Highness do it?" ”

"Hehe, that's because this king is much smarter than you." Xiao Ming squeezed Pang Yukun, and Pang Yukun stretched his face when he arrived, "Paper talk, since His Highness said so, it is better to let the craftsmen make it for the lower officials to take a look and see it." ”

"It's not simple, with the capabilities of today's equipment division, it can be built in just five days." Xiao Ming said confidently.

In fact, this kind of bull power dump has the principle of modern gear movement, and the structure is a parallel circular wooden gear plus a vertical circular wooden gear connected to a wooden conveyor belt similar to a track.

There is a vertical shaft rod in the middle of the parallel gear, the ox pulls the shaft rod to drive the parallel gear to rotate, and then the vertical gear will also rotate, and there is also a shaft rod in the center of the vertical gear, and this shaft rod is connected in parallel with a small vertically placed wooden gear, and this gear will drive the transmission of the crawler, and the water source will be continuously irrigated from the canal to the ground.
