Chapter 870: Secret Visits Are Most Likely to Go Wrong
Yan Shirong raised his eyebrows.
Actually, what Xinbao said is true.
Is it good to do it without seeing Gan Baibi?
Therefore, the problem now is that Minister Li does not understand Xinbao's style, and he is used to Emperor Mingpei's way. So even if Xinbao's instructions are very clear, he will still rack his brains to think of his own ideas based on Xinbao's instructions... which is a bit too much.
So Yan Shirong said: "Xinbao is right, it is my brother who is wrong."
So there is no need to ask Xinbao to change, just let these ministers understand the matter.
But Emperor Mingpei said, "Li Gongshen is getting more confused as he gets older. Now there is a Gan Baibi in front of him. Why don't you go and ask for advice?"
Yan Shirong smiled and said, "Yeah. Yeah, you're right."
However, it was not without benefits that Minister Li did it himself out of fear and trepidation.
He asked people to temporarily transform a large workshop and build warm walls. As long as people paid attention to fire prevention, it was not too cold in winter and the craftsmen could work comfortably.
Xiang Xiaojun has a gentle temperament and is not good at arguing with others, but now he is the absolute leader and he has the final say. This form is very suitable for him to perform, so within a few days, they developed a power-assisted machinery that can be used not only on baggage vehicles but also on ordinary horse-drawn carriages. It will save a lot of effort to pull and the speed will be faster.
Moreover, when Xinbao was talking that day, she inadvertently mentioned the small car on the road. Xiang Xiaojun certainly didn't know what a car was, but judging by what she meant, it seemed to be a car that did not require horses to pull it, so he made a very strange "human-powered" car.
It has four wheels and looks a bit like a pleasure boat. There is a small low cabin in the front where the "coachman" can sit, and an ordinary cabin with windows on all four sides in the back.
Xinbao sat on it and tried it out, it was pretty cool!!
Xinbao leaned against the window and asked, "Is it hard?"
"It doesn't require much effort and is very light. I think even people who don't know kung fu can pedal it." There is a pedal-like wheel under the driver's feet, and the driver just pedals. It is a bit like a modern pedal sightseeing boat, and there is also a rudder-like thing to control the direction.
Xinbao was really curious. It turned out that the ancients made a "car" like this without any reference! She couldn't help but think of her little apprentice again! If Hua Shi was here, he would definitely like it! ! She sat back and forth several times, and sat for Hua Shi twice, and called Mingpei Emperor to come and sit twice.
Then she pulled Xiang Xiaojun and drew some cars she knew.
She really had no idea about things like the internal structure of a car, but she still remembered the appearance of bicycles, rickshaws, and the steam power that she had mentioned before but had never paid attention to.
Draw them all out and let Xiang Xiaojun learn from them.
The two chattered for a whole day, and finally even Xiang Xiaojun was a little tired. He smiled and said, "Let's try it slowly. Now the 'power assist' has actually been achieved, but there are many original problems that have not been solved, such as the anti-skid and shock absorption of the wheels, so I will try them one by one slowly. In addition to the 'car', we can also make some agricultural things..."
Xinbao suddenly turned around and looked at him, his eyes wide open.
Xiang Xiaojun was puzzled: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Xinbao felt something flash in his heart, and murmured, "You, what did you just say?"
Xiang Xiaojun was also stunned: "Did I say something wrong?"
Yuan Shenjue was standing by and quickly repeated what he had just said: "He said that they tried it slowly. Now that the power assist has been achieved, there are still many original problems that have not been solved, such as the anti-slip of the wheels..."
Xinbao jumped up all of a sudden! She finally remembered, rubber!!! Although Dayan didn’t have rubber yet, she had Eucommia ulmoides in her space!! Lots of Eucommia ulmoides! She could use Eucommia ulmoides glue!! She actually forgot such an important thing!! So she quickly said: “Xinbao has a way!!”
Eucommia ulmoides is actually a traditional Chinese medicine. She is an expert in everything related to herbs!! She knows the simplest and most efficient extraction method!!
Soon, Xiang Xiaojun's workshop obtained a large number of Eucommia ulmoides and extraction and application methods, so a group of craftsmen began to conduct experiments in small batches.
In the blink of an eye, it was November 16th.
Longxiongwei took the wooden bird out and chose various high grounds to release it.
Whether it was the princess’ fans or the common people, they had all heard the rumor and were already very interested in it, so when they saw someone really releasing the wooden bird, they immediately called their friends to come and grab it.
But what they didn't expect was that this wooden bird would not just fly down as they thought. Instead, it could fly two or three miles! And depending on the wind direction, it would turn from time to time. After flying, it was almost indistinguishable from a real bird.
So a strange scene appeared on the street... a group of people looked up, shouted loudly, stretched out their arms, and ran after the wooden bird.
The Longxiong Guards only reminded them to be careful but did not try to stop them, so these people became even more enthusiastic in snatching.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Soon sixty-six wooden birds were released one after another and fell into the hands of many people, who then became busy.
In fact, real high-ranking officials and dignitaries would not snatch such things.
After all, although they were curious about Mujia Yiling and the like, they would always have a chance to watch it. It didn't matter if they didn't watch it. This kind of thing was only hosted by the princess's little apprentice. Even if the little princess went on a whim, it wouldn't be a big deal at this time, so there was no need to be there in person.
However, some officials or noble families of moderate importance wanted to go very much. In their eyes, it would be of great benefit to make friends with even one of the princess's apprentices.
Of course they didn't dare to rob it, so they asked around to buy one, or they could just follow along.
For a while, the capital city was in an uproar.
Xinbao watched them carry Mujia Yiling away and said, "Yeah, yeah, should we go?"
Emperor Mingpei asked: "Xinbao, do you want to go?"
"I kind of want to go," Xinbao hesitated, "but going on an incognito visit is the easiest way to get into trouble, and Xinbao is a little worried."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and asked, "What happened? Is Xinbao worried about danger?"
Xinbao wanted to say yes, but then he remembered Longxiongwei's abnormal inspection method and thought that he might be worrying too much. But if there was no danger and it was something else, then it would be fine. If he encountered something fun, he could open the door, reveal his identity and shock everyone! !
So Xinbao said, "It shouldn't be dangerous, why don't we go and have some fun!"
Emperor Mingpei nodded: "Okay."
