He replied without hesitation: "Students will follow the emperor's arrangements."
The emperor smiled and said, "You are a talented person. I think it is a waste of time to keep you in the capital now."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Do you want to go to Northern Xinjiang?"
Xiao Hanzheng was not surprised by the emperor's question. After all, he had thought about the emperor for a long time in his previous life and had some understanding of him.
He replied: "If the emperor wants to arrange for me to go, I will do my best to help you."
Prince Jin of the Northern Frontier is a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he would feel uncomfortable if it were not removed.
Now that Prince Jin has grown strong, if he rebels directly, it will inevitably cause some unrest in Daliang, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.
In the previous life, the two armies fought each other. Although the rebel Prince Jin was killed, the court of Daliang also suffered heavy losses.
Then the Ge State sent troops, and the people in the northern border became miserable.
In his new life, Xiao Hanzheng still wants to try his best to see if he can make a change and do something practical for the people of Northern Frontier.
Moreover, he could understand what the emperor meant. If he was to be transferred to the northern border, it would definitely be an important task.
The emperor found that although Xiao Hanzheng was young, he was really smart and understood what he meant immediately.
"You also know that whether it's the Ge Kingdom eyeing the northern border covetously or the King Jin raising his own army, it's a mess."
"I want to open a gap in the northern border, and I think you are capable of doing it, but there will definitely be many dangers, so I want to ask about your original intention."
The emperor said this because he values talent.
Xiao Hanzheng seemed to think deeply for a moment before he bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of danger. I am willing to share your worries."
If you don't think about it, it would be too reckless.
The emperor smiled and said, "Very good."
"Then go back and make preparations. Within half a year, you will go to Northern Xinjiang."
"I will arrange for you to go to the Imperial Academy first, and then transfer you to the Northern Frontier."
"There are no vacancies in the Northern Frontier recently. I need to think about your arrangements again."
For smart people, the emperor is willing to say a few more words to show his favor.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, I will definitely not let your majesty down."
The two chatted for a while, and then Xiao Hanzheng left the palace.
The emperor also immediately ordered people to investigate Zhuo Jun.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng's transfer order came down, and the three people in the first class were arranged to go to the Hanlin Academy.
Xiao Hanzheng knew that the emperor had arranged for him to be gilded.
As for the arrangement for Zhuo Jun, it is just gilding on the surface, but in reality the emperor should look at what is found out before deciding what to do.
That day, Xi Rui and a few others took the initiative to run to the Xiao Mansion.
Shi Qingluo looked at what Xi Rui was holding, his eyes lit up, "Did your family cut out the rubber?"
Xi Rui smiled proudly and said, "Yes, our family cut out the rubber first."
He added: "But the emperor's people sent a batch of glue back to the capital a few days ago."
Shi Qingluo knew this, but she couldn't try to take advantage of the emperor's power.
Then she saw the shoes on Xi Rui's feet and said with a smile, "They have made rubber-soled leather shoes. Not bad."
The shoes Xi Rui wore had black rubber soles and cowhide half-boots on top.
Xi Rui said proudly: "That's right. As soon as the glue was delivered yesterday, I did as you said and had someone make some rubber-soled leather shoes to try out."
"It's really comfortable to wear and looks good."
Liang Youxiao asked: "Didn't you ask someone to make a few more pairs to show your courtesy?"
Xi Rui smiled and said, "Of course there is."
He had asked the maid in the yard to make a few more pairs, and he would give them to his grandparents and his mother and father in the afternoon.
Liang Youxiao raised his eyebrows, "Have you forgotten about us friends?"
He wanted to be the first person in the capital to wear rubber-soled leather shoes.
He will wear it out to show off soon.
Liang Youxiao: “…” What kind of friends is he making?
He felt contemptuous of his family's efficiency. The glue from Xi's family had been delivered, but theirs had not arrived yet.
Fei Yuzhe also curled his lips at Xi Rui, "Look how cocky you are."
It seems that the popularity of rubber-soled leather shoes will be snatched away by this guy Xi Rui this time.
Xi Rui looked at their jealous expressions and smiled even more, "That's right, I am the most handsome guy in the whole capital today."
They learned this saying from Shi Qingluo, but they all like to use it.
Shi Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes. It doesn't make him the most handsome guy in the capital."
"If you go out on a bicycle, you will be the most watched person in the whole capital."
When Xi Rui heard this, he immediately came over and said, "Qingluo, let's get some bicycles quickly. I'll provide the rubber."
"You also provide the parts. After yours is built, I'll also want a few."
Although she doesn't spend much time riding a bicycle in modern times, she still misses the limited means of transportation in ancient times.
Now all the roads in Beijing are paved with cement, and riding a bicycle is much faster than walking.
You can ride a bicycle on roads where horse-drawn carriages are prohibited.
The young man could also ride his bike to the yamen, thus avoiding the traffic jam of horse-drawn carriages every morning.
Xi Rui immediately made the decision, "No problem, how much glue do you need? I'll have someone deliver it to you."
Shi Qingluo replied: "It doesn't take too much to build a bicycle."
"But you have to find some skilled craftsmen. I can't do it myself."
She was in agriculture and had a general idea of how a bicycle was made, but it would be difficult for her to make it herself.
Even if you want to figure it out, it will probably take a long time, so it’s better to leave it to professionals.
She was responsible for providing drawings of the bicycle and giving some suggestions.
Xi Rui looked at Liang Youxiao, "Old Liang, now it's your turn to shine."
Ever since they got used to calling him Lao Xiao, they also learned to call each other that, feeling that it was a friendly and friendly way to have a good relationship.
Liang Youxiao rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't remember me when you were making shoes, but you remembered me when you were short of craftsmen."
"The craftsman can give it to me, but I also want a bicycle that is made."
He said meaningfully: "Then we will ride out together."
Rubber-soled leather shoes are about to be overshadowed by this thing, and bicycles must catch up.
Fei Yuzhe immediately said: "I can also provide a few craftsmen, I want one too."
Because Qi Yiyang was involved in the rubber tapping, Xi Rui called him over this time.
Of course, the point is to show off the new shoes in front of Qi Yiyang.
He immediately said, "Yes, yes, we will attract more attention if we ride out together."
"I can also provide a few craftsmen." He didn't have them, but he definitely had them at home.
Xi Rui: “…” These people all want to steal the limelight from me, they are no good.
But when I think about it, it does seem pretty cool if they ride out in a row on those bicycles.
I agreed, "Okay, each of you provide two craftsmen, and then you will have one."
The other people naturally had no objections. They were all eager to see what the bicycle looked like so that they could ride it out to show off.
