Chapter 866: After the carrots squat, the cabbages squat

The three of them paused, and had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after the shadow guard rushed over, he didn't even salute, but said loudly with a red face: "Radish squat, radish squat, after the radish squats, the cabbage squats."

Then he squatted down.

Three people: "..."

The second shadow guard came running over and shouted in the same loud voice: "Cabbage squat, cabbage squat, cabbage squat, eggplant squat after the eggplant squat."

"Eggplant squat, eggplant squat, eggplant squat and then potato squat."

Ten people ran over one after another and squatted around them...

The three of them looked at each other in silence.

Well, let a six-year-old baby be the absolute leader, what's so strange about this situation? It's inevitable! They should be satisfied that they didn't have to squat! ! Xinbao came over with his hands behind his back and a bulging belly, and said majestically: "Okay, you all passed Xinbao's test. From today on, you are Xinbao's people!"

Yan Shirong said silently: "Xinbao, your test is quite...unique."

"Of course!" Xinbao kept his hands behind his back and said complacently, "Xinbao has considered it seriously! Xinbao is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things. He won't do things like playing tricks on the princes. But if the matter is too small, there is no way to test their thinking! So Xinbao thought for a long time before he thought of something that was neither big nor small!"

You know what, even though it looks ridiculous, it’s actually… not too big or too small.

Emperor Mingpei concluded: "Very good."

Yan Shirong changed the subject: "Xinbao, Xiang Xiaojun came to see you yesterday and said that he had created something based on the principle of the wooden armor art. I will help you push it for the time being. When you are free, invite him in to take a look."

Xinbao nodded: "Then let's do it tomorrow."

She waved her hand in a general-like manner and said, "Xinyi, go tell your brother to come over around 9:00 p.m. tomorrow morning."

The shadow guard whose name was called immediately came out, bowed, and left.

Yan Shirong asked, "Are these ten called Heart One and Heart Two?"

"That's right," Xinbao nodded, and then said vigilantly, "But don't call them, don't talk to them, and don't try to bribe them. These are all Xinbao's own people. Only Xinbao can use them. Not even my wife can use them."

Yan Shirong was still irritated by the first sentence, but when he heard the last sentence, he calmed down instantly: "Okay, I won't yell, and I won't bribe you, I promise."

So a few people went back to eat.

After dinner, Xinyi came back to report that she had told Xiaojun that the thing was too big to be brought in, and asked her if she wanted to see the drawings or go to the workshop. She was told that it was kept in the Imperial Pharmacy for trial use.

Xinbao immediately said, "Then let's go to the Imperial Pharmacy."

Now that his wife is here and he has a new shadow guard, he doesn't mind leaving the palace at all.

So the next day, after she finished practicing martial arts, she went to the Imperial Pharmacy.

When I got there, I saw a familiar-looking big wooden man cutting herbs. From a distance, he was spinning without wind, and he was moving very fast.

Xinbao asked in surprise: "Have you seen this wooden man before?"

Xiang Xiaojun came out of the pharmacy, bowed with a smile, and said, "This is the one in my yard, do you remember it? I am just trying it out, so I borrowed this shell. I thought about it carefully and made it according to the principle of the wooden armor artist. It can replace many jobs."

Xinbao opened his eyes wide and looked at the big wooden man in surprise.

The wooden man sat there, "holding" the medicine pot with both hands. The medicine pot rotated rapidly, cutting the herbs and then continuously transporting them out.

She didn't understand the principle, but she was shocked! ! It turns out that Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and horse, which can carry 300 to 400 kilograms and travel dozens of miles a day, really exists! It turns out that in addition to water, wind, electricity, steam, diesel and other power sources, there is also this kind of robot that can be built and perform such simple mechanical movements just by relying on something inside...

It’s only been half a month since she left, so this thing must not be difficult to make!

People in later generations are so pitiful. Many of our ancestors' ingenious things have been lost! Gan Baibi heard the news, trotted over, bowed, looked at Xinbao's face, and smiled, "Your Highness, long time no see."

Xinbao nodded: "Xiaobai, long time no see."

Gan Baibi: “…”

Xinbao just thought that since she already called her special assistant Xiaoyu, an old friend like Lord Gan should of course have a nickname too.

Thinking of the special assistant, she turned around in surprise and looked: "Where is Xinbao's special assistant? Oh, that's not right, where is Mr. Li?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yuan Shenjue coughed.

He usually doesn't do this kind of work, and he was a little uncomfortable with Hao Huashi's sudden departure: "I forgot, so should I call them now?"

Xinbao thought for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Xiaobai, what do you want to say?"

Gan Baibi quickly claimed the nickname: "Your Highness, I just want to ask your Highness, should we use more of Xiaojun in the new pharmacy? There are advantages and disadvantages. It can save a lot of manpower, but according to Xiaojun, if it is used for slightly complicated work, it will be more troublesome to make, so the cost is very high. At present, we don’t know how long it can be used, so the specific cost is still hard to determine…"

Xinbao raised her little face and listened attentively. Gan Baibi didn't finish talking for a long time, so she said, "Why don't we go back to the palace first? Brother should go too. Xinbao is thinking about a question and wants to ask Yeye first."

Gan Baibi agreed repeatedly, and the few people went back first.

Emperor Mingpei hadn't been home for a few days, and he had accumulated a lot of things to do. He was still discussing things over there, so Xinbao called his special assistant and mascot Mr. Li over. Then she said, "Now that Yeye is not here, let's think about where this powerful thing is best used."

She paused and said, "Whether it's in the medical department or somewhere else, where is the best place to use this technology?"

Gan Baibi asked, "Carriage?"

He explained: "Xiao Jun said before that we can build a horse-drawn carriage that is not afraid of bumps. With a little modification, it will be very labor-saving for horses to pull it... Then wouldn't it be very convenient for disaster relief and food transportation? It can also be used by the people, as horse-drawn carriages are very common, or boats can also be used."

Xinbao's eyes lit up. She really wanted a car that could be driven on the road...

Xu Zhiyu said: "I think we can do things that are impossible for humans to do, or things that are dangerous for humans to do. For example... digging a well? For example, climbing high?"

"No," Xinbao explained to him, "This is mainly about doing some simple, repetitive work, and it has to be exactly the same every time."

"Not really," Xiang Xiaojun interrupted, "In fact, with the help of manpower... we can do some other work, such as plowing the land and transplanting rice."

Gan Baibi asked him, "If we talk about cultivating land, will it be expensive? What will be the effect?"
