Chapter 838 The official allows you to take advantage of the popularity

Even Emperor Mingpei couldn't help but feel jealous when he heard this, and said lightly: "I should have sent your wife away earlier, then maybe she would have made a lot of rare things a long time ago."

Xinbao was stunned, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "I never thought that Xinbao would be a person who values ​​love over friendship... and family."

Emperor Mingpei scolded her: "Who taught you to say such ugly words?"

Xinbao turned his eyes and looked at him.

Emperor Mingpei said vigilantly: "This has nothing to do with me."

"Then," Xinbao nodded, "Maybe Xinbao learned it all by himself!"

Emperor Mingpei glared at him and said, "Nonsense, don't say that again."

Well then, I won’t say anything more about Xinbao.

The eighth prince was very concerned and urged his subordinates to try it again and again. Within three days, both the results were found.

Yan Shirong went to see it in person, and when he came back he discussed with his sister: "Xinbao, can these two things be placed on Xiang Xiaojun's head?"

Xinbao has too many miracles and shines too brightly, so apart from those related to "medicine" or plants, all other things do not need to be attributed to her, as it would be troublesome.

And Xiang Xiaojun is a brick that inspires Yan Shirong to do more.

Although the waterwheel, imperial pharmacy production line and other things he made were exquisite, most of the common people could not see them.

However, in the future, many people will definitely see the box-type solar cooker and the self-heating bag. They are very convenient and the most important thing is that they do not look complicated at all, so that experts can see that they can do it too.

This would be more intuitive for the craftsmen, easier for the court to reward them generously, and then attract more people to follow suit.

Xinbao nodded: "Sure."

Yan Shirong, who had prepared a speech to convince her, laughed: "Xinbao, why are you so easy to talk to? Why don't you ask why?"

Xinbao said, "Second brother has said so, so of course I have to agree! The reason is not important, Xinbao is not surprised by praise or criticism anyway."

Okay, this little bastard has been able to coax people since he was young.

Yan Shirong was very happy. He went out happily and asked someone to call Xiang Xiaojun to come and meet him.

As a result, the messenger reported back that Xiang Xiaojun was not in the Medical Department, but had gone to the new pharmacy to help make the waterwheel.

The person originally sent over was Longxiong Wei, the brother of his immediate superior and also a friend of the little princess, so he was naturally served carefully. He came back half an hour later, changed his clothes and came to meet them.

Xinbao attached great importance to his big brother and smart brother's family. He waited at the Qianqing Gate and led him in by the hand, comforting him: "Don't be afraid, you are Xinbao's good friend, and brother will not bully you."

Xiang Xiaojun smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I am not afraid anymore."

But Xinbao still sent people in, stood behind, watched him bow, and be given a seat. Only then did he complete his task and came back with his hands behind his back.

Yan Shirong had met Xiang Xiaojun before, but Xinbao didn't invite him when he made the appointment, so they never had a deep conversation.

Now that I have called him over to talk, I feel that this child is really smart and insightful.

For example, in this case, giving him the credit for someone else's achievements is obviously a good thing. After he finds out, he may be grateful, or feel terrified, or refuse, or be at a loss. There are many possibilities...

But Xiang Xiaojun listened to the end in silence, then stood up and said seriously: "Thank you for your highness's trust. Your highness, rest assured, I will be careful in my words and deeds, restrain myself and be polite, and will never let your highness down."

Yan Shirong was still a little surprised.

After all, this was equivalent to Xiang Xiaojun understanding his intention as soon as he heard it.

This is both an honor and a responsibility. He wants to be a role model and a benchmark. The key is that someone might mention his physical disability.

Yan Shirong half-jokingly said, "Actually, I wanted to tell your brother about this, but Xinbao asked me to tell you directly. So I'll tell you directly because of this. Will you get scolded if you go back and tell your brother about this?"

Xiang Xiaojun smiled and said, "No, my brother has been taught a lot by His Highness, and now he has gotten the hang of it."

Yan Shirong couldn't help but laugh.

Both of them were smart people, and they got along very well. In the evening, Yan Shirong even invited him to have dinner with him and gave him a solar stove to take back.

The principle of the solar stove itself is not complicated. After Xinbao explained it to him again, Xiang Xiaojun understood it. Then he took one back to the new medicine shop and made a few more to make it convenient for the craftsmen there to eat.

It soon spread in a small circle in the capital.

Then Yan Shirong handed it to the Ministry of Works in the name of Xiang Xiaojun, asking the Ministry of Works to make more so that they could be sent to the two disaster areas and the border in the future.

But no one expected that this thing could spread so quickly.

Because the new pharmacy recruited workers locally, they were local people. When they saw that this thing did not require firewood or charcoal, they became very interested and asked about it.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xiang Xiaojun did not hide his knowledge and told it directly. The next day, a carpenter bravely came to learn, and then more and more people came.

There were too many idle people and it was difficult to manage them, so the responsible official there said that if any craftsman came to help for free for ten days, he would teach them and they could go back and make the products and sell them.

In fact, it is very quick to learn carpentry, and it will take less than ten days. But this thing belongs to the imperial court. How can you sell it secretly or openly? So overnight, not only carpenters, but also many craftsmen registered their names and shops to come and help.

The official originally thought that since he was going to teach them anyway, if he could get more craftsmen, maybe he could make some new improvements and save labor costs. But he didn't expect that after a while, the solar stove became incredibly popular and spread all over the streets overnight.

When Yan Shirong saw this situation, he did not wait until the end of the year. He discussed it with Emperor Mingpei and issued an edict directly.

Xiang Xiaojun received the imperial edict at the new pharmacy, which appointed him the Earl of Congshan County and awarded him two thousand taels of silver.

At the same time, all his previous achievements were distributed to various places in the form of official documents to encourage those who came after him.

Li Luoer's case was also mentioned.

It also includes a production diagram of the solar cooker to facilitate craftsmen from all over the world to learn and make it on their own.

Since ancient times, very few commoners have been granted titles. Most of them had to first serve as officials, then make great contributions, and then be recommended by others before they could be granted titles.

That's why it caused such a sensation throughout the world when the prince, a mere farmer, was conferred the title of Earl of Jishan County.

Now, in addition to Li Luoer, there is another person who was granted the title of county earl despite his disability.

And he was conferred the title of Earl of Congshan County. What is this called? This is called following the prince. The authorities allow you to take advantage of the popularity! This is more than buying horse bones with a huge sum of money? So the effect is really great. Other places haven't been so fast. Anyway, in the capital, many people immediately came to offer gifts.

Yan Shirong also instructed that no matter whether it succeeds or not, the attitude must be good, and any useful new things can be reported. Even if the reward is fifty or one hundred taels of silver, it will be an encouragement to the craftsmen.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed and the weather is getting colder.

Now Xinbao's Qinggong has been somewhat accomplished, so Hao Huashi led people to remove the stakes and build a very long ladder. Taking advantage of the terrain of Guilan Garden, they put up the ladders on pavilions and walls and began to practice climbing and overcoming obstacles.

Because the ladder was a bit shaky, and the footing had been replaced with a smaller platform, Xinbao would often miss a step when he first started practicing.

But Hao Huashi's light Kung Fu was the best in the world, so her movements seemed to be slowed down in his eyes, so she didn't have to worry about getting hurt.
