Cheng Yue and Quan Jiu's painting quickly attracted the attention of the concubines, and they all crept around Cheng Yue and looked curiously. The picture drawn by Cheng Yue was too complicated for them, more difficult to understand than the book of heaven, and they couldn't guess what it was.

Cheng Yue finished drawing another picture, put it aside, and suddenly realized that there were people standing around him, and when he turned his head, several concubines were standing beside him looking at his drawings.

Cheng Yue shook his head helplessly, covered the drawings and said, "Queen Mother, ladies and gentlemen, I can't see everything here, isn't there a locked cabinet there?" The drawings I draw now are even more important, if it were someone else, I would have to lock him up for the rest of my life until I died. ”

Quan Jiu and the concubines were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and moved away from the drawings, and Chen Cairen twisted his face to the side, which made Cheng Yue laugh for a while.

Quan Jiu said in surprise: "Metropolitan Governor, what is this?" How are these pieces of paper so important? ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Does the Queen Mother think it's just a few pieces of paper?" Then you nobles have been watching for a long time, can you see what the minister is painting and what can you do with it? ”

All the concubines shook their heads in shock.

Cheng Yue picked up a few drawings and said: "This thing is called a steam engine, and it is clearly written in Chen's book "Physics" that after water is heated, it will change from liquid form to gas, and the volume will expand thousands of times, which will produce huge power. This machine designed by the minister can transform this power into a driving force. Once built, it can be installed on a boat, and it can drive the boat upstream, and the speed will be five or even ten times that of today's ordinary sailboats. That's not all, using it in other areas can not only save a lot of manpower. Increase efficiency. And it can work tirelessly all the time. For example, draining a pond. If it takes 100 people to work for 50 days with manpower, it only takes 5 days with one machine. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what this means? The advent of the steam engine will usher in a new era, and almost everything that you are accustomed to will gradually change, and I call it the first industrial revolution. ”

Hearing this, all the concubines were shocked. They thought it was just a few pieces of paper with some inexplicable pictures, but they didn't expect to see something amazing! No wonder Cheng Yue scared them like a great enemy!

Cheng Yue grinned. said: "The Queen Mother understands, right?" This thing is so important, how can the minister take a risk? If you are someone else, where is your life? ”

Mrs. Zhu was shocked and said, "I thought that the Governor was joking!" ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "How dare the minister make jokes about the nobles, the ministers want to ask the nobles to keep their mouths shut and never reveal it." This thing is very difficult to make, and the minister does not know when it will be made, and it must be kept strictly secret until it is built. ”

Mrs. Zhu said decisively: "Don't worry, the slave family will never say a word to others!" The rest of the concubines also promised, and some even swore to Cheng Yue.

Quan Jiu said: "Governor, I can also guarantee it." The Metropolitan need not worry. ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "The minister naturally believes in the Queen Mother. ”

Yang Shufei also assured that her relationship with Cheng Yue was not ordinary. He boldly asked, "Governor, what other secrets do you have here?" Can you name a few things that the slave will know? Anyway, the slave didn't understand what was going on. ”

Cheng Yue thought for a while and said, "There are a few things I can tell you, and they are about to be made anyway." ”

Quan Jiu and the other concubines were pleasantly surprised, and listened to Cheng Yue with bated breath.

Cheng Yue said word by word: "One is a glider that can carry people to fly in the sky, and the other is a hot air balloon that can carry people to float in the air." ”

"What-?!" The concubines looked at Cheng Yue dumbfounded, all suspecting that they had misheard.

Fly?! Is it really flying?! The Metropolitan Governor has invented something that flies in the air! Is this possible?

Cheng Yue nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you heard it right, these two things are almost finished." The fabrics are all made secretly by Xiuxiu, and the rest is made by Yang Ting, who has been working since he first entered Lin'an. The reason why I asked Mei'er to help Xiuxiu was because she wanted to help me make these two fabrics, and she didn't have time to take care of the ready-to-wear factory. Xiuxiu is usually the most low-key, and the work she does doesn't seem to be important, but in fact, she bears no less responsibility than anyone else. This is a big secret of mine, but I can now let you know. These things are made, and Xiuxiu has made great contributions. Illustrate one thing, a woman can do amazing things and become amazing people! This is something I plan to publicize in the future. ”

The concubines were shocked, thinking of Hu Xiuxiu's cute face and always hiding to the side with a smile, they really couldn't imagine that she had quietly completed such a major invention!

Quan Jiu barely suppressed his excitement and asked, "Dadu Governor, can people really fly?" ”

Cheng Yue looked at her and said, "I know that your nobles may sound incredible, but for me, all this is logical, nothing special. It's not that I'm amazing, but if I figure it out, everyone can take to the skies. ”

Seeing that the concubines were still confused, they smiled and said, "Okay, I'll explain briefly." Birds are able to fly in the air not because they are lighter than air, but because they can use their wings and air currents to make them soar through the air, and this is how hang gliders work. People don't have wings, so I make a pair of wings. Of course, it's not easy, and I can't say the specifics. ”

Quan Jiu's mouth opened wide, he didn't know what to say, he really hoped to see people flying in the sky with his own eyes, how wonderful!

Cheng Yue continued: "As for the hot air balloon, it is not difficult to put it bluntly, and the principle of the Kong Ming lantern is the same, I want to find a way to make a safe big Kong Ming lantern, hang people with a big hanging basket below, and people can go straight up with the hot air balloon." Just like the glider, there are a lot of technical secrets here, which I still want to keep secret. The Queen Mother, what the minister just said, the Queen Mother can roughly understand, right? ”

Quan Jiu is extremely smart, of course, she can understand it immediately, but she still can't believe it if she doesn't see the real thing. After thinking about it seriously, he said: "Dadudu, if it is really as Dadudu said, then the glider must be able to operate before it can be used, and everyone can get on the hot air balloon, isn't that so?" ”

Cheng Yue gave a thumbs up and said, "The Queen Mother is really a talented girl, yes, it's true." After the hot air balloon is successful, if the Queen Mother dares to sit, the minister should personally control it, let the Queen Mother fly into the blue sky, and overlook it from a high distance, isn't it a great joy in life? ”

All the concubines and concubines all showed yearning for it, but Yang Shufei asked worriedly: "Governor, the queen mother's status is precious, so you can't take a little risk." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and pointed to his nose and said, "Am I like someone looking for death?" ”

Concubine Yang Shuran smiled, secretly threw a wink at Cheng Yue, and said, "That slave is also with Niangniang." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you dare to sit, I will definitely let all the nobles sit down." ”

Quan Jiu said with anticipation on his face: "Grand Dudu, when will you see these two things?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Soon, the minister will test the hot air balloon in a few days, the queen mother, please be patient, the minister will never let the queen mother wait too long." ”

Quan Jiu said: "That's good, a word is a certainty, I will wait for good news in the palace." ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "What the minister promised has never counted, but the Queen Mother should not tell others first." ”

Quan Jiuyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay." ”

At this time, it was almost dusk, and Quan Jiu saw that it was not early, so he led the concubines to leave the study and return to the flower hall.

At dinner, Quan Jiu and Yang Shufei and other concubines were very affectionate to Hu Xiuxiu, Hu Xiuxiu didn't know why, but became more and more respectful, which made Quan Jiu feel emotional.

At night, Cheng Yue still went to sleep in the outer house, and Zhang Shufang walked out hand in hand with Cheng Yue in the envious eyes of the concubines.

Not long after Cheng Yue fell asleep with Zhang Shufang and the two ladies Wen Cunhou, a delicate figure quietly came to Cheng Yue's window, knocked lightly on the window lattice and called softly: "Official, official." ”

The voice was very small, Zhang Shufang and the two ladies were too tired and slept very deeply, only Cheng Yue could hear clearly, hesitated and slowly got up, jumped out of bed lightly, opened the window and looked out a small crack, and could see clearly through the moonlight - it was Ye Qian'er!

I saw her holding a pillow in her arms, smiling and standing out of the window, beautiful as a fairy under the moon, is she here to sleep?

With a beautiful woman like Ye Qian'er recommending a pillow seat, who would be unhappy? But now is not the time, Cheng Yue secretly shouted: Bitter!

He has always doted on Ye Qian'er, and after the incident of Ali Hague, he regarded Ye Qian'er as extremely important, but he didn't expect this bold girl to come to the door in the middle of the night!

What can I do? The two ladies were lying naked on their beds and sleeping soundly, and there was no way to avoid it. Cheng Yue had no choice but to open the door.

The room was very dark, Ye Qian'er couldn't see the situation inside, and after entering the door, she hugged the pillow and threw herself into Cheng Yue's arms, and said in a flattering voice: "Official, the slave family is afraid that the officials will be short of people to wait, so they sneaked here, do the officials like it?" ”

Cheng Yue covered her mouth and whispered in her ear: "My good little Qian'er, I want to tell you something, don't shout it, and keep it secret for me." ”

Ye Qian'er was confused by Cheng Yue's move, and nodded solemnly to Cheng Yue with a pair of innocent big eyes, thinking that the official didn't get which palace maid to the bed, right? It's not a big deal.

Cheng Yue put his lips to Ye Qian'er's ear and said, "Now there are three people in my bed, one is your Sister Shufang, and the other two you also know, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Luo!" ”

Ye Qian'er gasped and looked at Cheng Yue with wide eyes. Fortunately, Cheng Yue covered her mouth in advance, otherwise she would have to call out.

Cheng Yue saw her use her eyes to signal that she had something to say, so he let go of her mouth and put his ear to her mouth. (To be continued......)
