The peach blossoms flowed out of the spring waves, and the suspect asked the fishing boat.

The warbler sang and danced on Mochou Lake, and after the spring breeze was once, Xu Ruoshi was sent back by two palace maids.

Such a beautiful lady, after having a skin-to-skin relationship, Qin Mu can't always act as if nothing has happened, and let the two palace maids go to the Xu Mansion to serve, this is the clearest expression.

Of course, the eldest lady of the Xu family is already the emperor's woman, and she has broken her body. The two palace maids going to the Xu Mansion to serve also have a deep meaning, which is not enough for outsiders.

After Qin Mu returned to the palace, he instructed Han Zanzhou to prepare a bride price for the concubine and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac.

After the Xu family knew the outline of the matter, they were all overjoyed.

In particular, Xu Yongshun, after receiving the report from his family, hurriedly went home, and the horse galloped too fast along the way, almost hitting someone.

In view of the fact that there was no serious consequence, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division stopped Xu Yongshun and fined him five taels of silver as usual.

Xu Yongshun didn't say a word, and generously threw down fifty treasure bills, "Don't look for it, please have a few brothers for tea." After speaking, in the stunned eyes of the soldiers, they quickly beat their horses back home.

The housekeeper in front of the Xu Mansion saw a horse galloping forward, and the people on the horse were lying on the horse's back, and before they could see who it was, the horse had neighed and rushed into the house.

"Oh, who, dare to trespass, yes" The family shouted halfway, and saw that it was their own master, and hurriedly shut up.

Xu Yongshun couldn't take care of them, he ran to his sister's makeup building out of breath, and halfway up the stairs, he hurriedly retreated;

My sister is now the woman of the current emperor, even if she is an elder brother, she can no longer trespass into the boudoir, Xu Yongshun is from a powerful background, and these taboos are naturally known.

He couldn't contain his excitement. Downstairs shouted, "Sister, sister, how are you?" Come out quickly, my brother has something to ask you."

What do you ask? Do you want to ask Xu Ruoshi, who heard her brother shouting, her face blushed instantly, she is a beautiful lady, and before the ceremony, she had a skin-to-skin relationship with a man, although this man is the emperor today, but after all, he is ashamed.

"Brother. Don't ask. In the makeup room, Xu Ruoshi replied angrily.

Xu Yongshun laughed when he heard this: "Sister, this is a great joy, what is there to be shy, tell my brother quickly, did he say when he will take you into the palace?" ”

How can Xu Ruoshi upstairs answer such a question? Besides, Qin Mu really didn't say when he would take her into the palace.

At this time, a palace maid came out and said to Xu Yongshun, "Lord Xu doesn't have to worry. His Majesty asked the slaves and maids to come to serve Miss Xu, and presumably they would soon send a gift for their appointment. ”

"Okay, okay, there are two girls."

Xu Yongshun retreated to the front hall. Immediately called all the seven or eight stewards of the house, and then instructed: "You go and make a dowry for the eldest lady at once, don't make a noise yet, but the dowry should be grand." The more grand the better, and don't be afraid to spend money. ”

"Yes, sir."

Seven or eight stewards were all beaming. Under Xu Yongshun's order, they immediately split up, and the big Xu family was suddenly busy.

Although there is no need to think about the queen's position, the dowry is more grand, and after her sister enters the palace, her status is always higher.

Xu Yongshun's father has passed away, and he is now the head of the family, only twenty heads, and it is not easy to support a large family.

The younger sister looks like a fairy, knows books and is courteous, and usually the matchmaker almost didn't break the threshold of the Xu family, and many of them came to ask for relatives from the powerful families of the new dynasty, but they were all rejected by Xu Yongshun one by one, and offended many people for this.

He knows very well that marriage is the only way for the Xu family to rise again, and he just wants to send his sister to the palace, and today he finally got his wish, Xu Yongshun can really be described as ecstatic with a scroll of poems, and he can't wait for the emperor to send a sedan chair to pick up people immediately.

Xu Ruoshi naturally knew her brother's thoughts, she was lying on the Luo bed in the boudoir, playing with a dragon-shaped jade pendant in her hand, which was given to her by Qin Mu when she was parting, and it was a token of love.

She was a little lazy when she first experienced personnel, her hair was draped in green silk on the plum blossom soft pillow, and her jade face was delicate and moving everywhere.

Which girl is not pregnant with spring, thinking of the things on the painting boat, her body became inexplicably hot, and she couldn't help but pull Luo Ji to cover her hot face.

Although Qin Mu was an emperor, she was so gentle and considerate when she entered, and when she cracked and exhaled in pain, she immediately stopped and comforted her in every possible way, until she slowly adapted

The spring palace paintings of the Ming Dynasty were extremely popular, and even talented people like Tang Bohu painted a lot, and there were always some hidden in the private rooms of the nobles' daughters, Xu Ruoshi was seventeen years old, and he was not ignorant of men and women;

It's just that before the incident, it was really hard to imagine the feeling of floating on the clouds, she couldn't suppress the tactful chanting at that time, presumably Gu Hanyan on the lower floor of the painting boat heard it, thinking of this, Xu Ruoshi's face was like fire.

In the palace, after Qin Mu instructed Han Zanzhou to hold the appointment ceremony, he asked Li Shi to go to Longjiang Shipyard to inquire, and after hearing Xu Ruoshi mention on the painting boat that Longjiang Shipyard was developing a new ship with a hollow bow, he remembered something in a trance at that time;

After returning to the palace, I thought about it carefully, wasn't it the flying scissor sailboat with a hollow bow design that pushed sailing to the extreme in later generations? The waterline surface of the bow of this kind of sailboat is concave, and the long and sharp curved scissor-shaped head column is a situation suitable for racing, and it can split the waves (cut the waves) to reduce the wave resistance at sea, so it is called flying shear.

The most important feature of this boat is that it is fast, and it is said that the maximum speed of the sailing ship can reach 14 knots per hour, and it only takes 13 days to cross the Atlantic.

If you convert it to miles, that's 52 miles per hour!

Macau to Manila is about 600 nautical miles, at this speed, from the Pearl River Estuary to Manila, it only takes two days.

What is this concept?

Let's put it this way, the current ships, sailing from the mouth of the Pearl River to the mouth of the Yangtze River, still need to sail for nearly ten days, if the scissor sailing ship is successfully developed, it will only take two days from Macao to Manila, and then the people will still think that Luzon is far away?

Qin Mu did not expect that the R&D department established in Longjiang Shipyard would bear such fruitful results in just two years.

This is different from the steam engine, which he drew drawings and explained the principles, and the craftsmen made them according to the drawings.

If the scissor sailboat is designed this time, it will be the result of the craftsmen's own research, and in the words of later generations, it will be something with complete intellectual property rights.

The more Qin Mu thought about it, the more excited he became, almost like Xu Yongshun, who was ecstatic about the poems and books.

This once again proves that the wisdom of the Chinese is immeasurable, but in the past these things were regarded as tricks and were not valued.

Qin Mu believes that as long as a suitable soil is given, the flower of science and technology on the land of China will definitely bear fruit.

God seemed to want to add a little more joy to Qin Mu, Li Shi went to Longjiang Shipyard to understand the situation and didn't come back, Han Zanzhou got up again and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" There is good news from Sichuan, I found it, and I found the kind of asphalt mine that His Majesty said. ”

"Sure enough?"

"Your Majesty, how dare the slave and maid scorn you, the slave and maid have 10,000 heads"

"Okay, okay, tell me quickly, where did you find it, and what are the reserves?"

Han Zanzhou smiled so much that all the chrysanthemums bloomed, and replied: "Your Majesty, I found it in the area of Longmen Mountain in Sichuan, and the locals discovered this kind of black and slippery thing very early, but I don't know what it is for. The news that came back said that the reserves were very large, but it is not known how much there were. ”

"Good, good. Old Han, have you got the sample back? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have brought back twenty or thirty catties."

"Bring it in and I'll take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Han Zanzhou beckoned to the outside of the hall, and when the two little eunuchs came carrying half a sack of things, Qin Mu stepped forward to take a look, the black and shiny lumpy thing in the sack was not asphalt, what was it?

This is a good baby, Qin Mu has long been sketching out the blueprint for building roads, in order to strengthen the rule of the southwest, he intends to build a road from Changsha to Kunming and Changsha to Qinzhou.

In particular, once the road from Changsha to Kunming via Guiyang is completed, it will be of historical significance for the central government to strengthen the rule of the southwestern provinces, and it will certainly play a very important role in promoting the transformation of the southwest and returning it to the stream.

This is a very important national strategy, Qin Mu decided to put all the Jurchen men into the construction of this road, if it is not enough, then look for it from the Nanyang Islands, find it from Japan, even if it is to pave a road with white bones, Qin Mu will not hesitate.

Because this road is related to the strategy of advancing into the Indochina Peninsula after the Great Qin, ruling the Indochina Peninsula, and allowing the territory to cross the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
