Chapter 222 Another good thing
Tan Biyue was extremely beautiful and was very good at coaxing men. During the past few months of reflection, the two of them lived like a couple of gods.
But Yun Ransheng wanted to enjoy the blessing of two wives, and he did not neglect his concubine Zhao Feiyan.
Three days as the principal wife, two days as the concubine, he lived a happy life. Every
day, except for Zhao Junyi coming to give him lessons, he basically stayed in the rooms of the two concubines.
If it weren't for the prince's great achievements and coming back, he would have almost sunk into the gentle country and couldn't extricate himself.
Once, Zhao Junyi couldn't stand it anymore and criticized him as a father-in-law, but he said that he had just been married for a short time and was only being unrestrained for such a short time, and he would not delay important things.
The other party is the prince, the father of his concubine, it can't be said too harshly, he is not even a legitimate father-in-law.
He can only shake his head and sigh. It would be great if General Qin was in Beijing.
But there is still one good thing, the second prince is very good at making money.
"Your Highness, I don't understand what you are painting." Qin Biyue looked at what Yun Ransheng had painted with tenderness.
"This, you won't understand even if I tell you, this is a painting for the people. When this prince is rewarded by my father, I will take you out to play, okay?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, can we go just the two of us?" Qin Biyue hugged Yun Ransheng's arm and said coquettishly.
"You just love to be jealous. You and Feiyan are both my women. You should live in harmony with each other. This prince will treat you equally. Her father is my teacher now. Don't worry, you are the principal wife, and no one will surpass you. You must be a good wife to this prince."
"Yes, I know." Tan Biyue curled her lips and continued to grind ink.
He revised it again and again for a whole morning and finally finished the painting.
The next morning, the court affairs were discussed.
Zhao Junqing stepped out.
"Your Majesty, I have two drawings to present. They are the designs that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has carefully drawn these days in the mansion. My second brother saw them and thought they were extraordinary. He took them home for me to see. I think they can be made according to the drawings and let the people try them."
"Oh? What good things did the second prince draw again?" Yun Hongxiao asked Eunuch Yuan to bring them up.
Yun Hongxiao picked up one and looked at it.
At first, he did not understand it. After all, it was a mechanical drawing. The various annotations, arrows, and instructions made the drawing look a bit messy.
But when he saw a small picture of the real thing, he understood.
This is an agricultural tool.
"Your Majesty, according to the Second Prince, this is called a harrow plow. If it is made wide, it can be pulled by oxen, and if it is made small, it can be carried by people. When there are not enough oxen, people can also break up the soil by manpower, which can greatly improve production efficiency."
Zhao Junqing explained.
Yun Hongxiao picked up another one to look at.
He did not understand the design process, but he saw the small picture of the finished product and its appearance, but he still did not understand it.
"My dear Zhao, what is this?"
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince said that this is called a grain-winding machine.
Our farmers now use wind to separate the full grains from the husks without kernels in the grain-drying yard, and this can only be done in the grain-drying yard.
This grain-winding machine can be used indoors, no matter where it is placed. Just put the grain that needs wind into the basket and it can be separated with one fan. It is a very practical tool. No need to worry about raining.
Not only can it wind the grains, it can also be used to separate rice and bran when milling rice. It can also be used for other grains, such as sorghum, soybeans, and wheat."
After listening to Zhao Junyi's explanation last night, Zhao Junqing also felt that these two were good things. The harrow plow was not rare, it was just better than the one used by farmers nowadays, but this grain-winding machine was really a good thing with a complex structure.
I didn't expect that the second prince was really talented in design. He could design such a complicated machine, which was even more complicated than the printing press he made before.
The biggest innovation of the printing press lies in movable type. It's just that no one has thought of movable type for so many years, which led to no one inventing it.
So the two brothers discussed and decided that he would bring it into the palace to present it to the emperor at the morning court today.
After all, the second prince is still reflecting on his mistakes. And Zhao Junyi goes to his house every other day to teach the second prince.
Because of this relationship, there is no problem with him presenting it. The effect is better than what the second prince presented himself.
Otherwise, it would be suspected of being eager for quick success.
Yun Hongxiao listened and nodded repeatedly.
"The second prince is not very learned, but he has a unique talent in strange and tricky skills.
However, he has used them to improve civilian tools, which is the right way. Not bad, not bad, worthy of reward.
The second prince's self-reflection will stop here. Let him go to the Ministry of Works to cooperate in making these two tools as soon as possible. Let me see how effective they are and then reward him. Eunuch Ren, you will go and announce the decree later."
Yun Hongxiao had not seen the real thing yet, nor had he realized the benefits of using it, so he could only verbally reward it.
"Yes, I obey your order."
Yun Ransheng could go out, and the happiest people were his two women.
He only needed to go to the Ministry of Works to explain the two drawings clearly, and the craftsmen below could make them according to the drawings after understanding them. Two days
later, he fulfilled his promise and took his two women to play outside the city.
Of course, women like to visit temples the most.
You can pray to gods and Buddhas, but women's favorite is of course to pray to Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.
Yun Ransheng had already asked someone to go to Linghua Temple to give advance notice.
When they arrived at the temple, Yun Ransheng took his two concubines to visit several halls and let them play by themselves. He wanted to talk to the abbot alone.
But in fact, he just found a compartment to rest.
Not long after, a little monk knocked on the door.
"Amitabha, donor, the tea you asked for." The little monk came in and put the tray in his hand on the table.
This little monk looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but his temples were full, his arms were strong, and his knuckles were thick. You could tell at a glance that he was a martial artist.
Of course, there were many martial monks in Linghua Temple, so this was not surprising.
Yun Ransheng winked at the guards guarding the door.
The guard understood what was going on and walked a few feet away to check around. He also guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
"Give a message to your second uncle, and ask him to take people to the Ice and Snow Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom, and spread the news at the border between the two countries.
Mainly say that the reason why the Flame Kingdom was able to cure the epidemic this time is all because of Feng Tianxing, the daughter of the Feng family. She is the reincarnation of a god and can save lives.
Then slowly spread this news to the imperial cities of the two countries."
Yun Ransheng asked the little monk to come closer and whispered.
"Yes, I obey your order." The little monk left at an unhurried pace just like when he came, and it only took half a cup of tea.
Yun Ransheng now hates the Feng family to the core, because because of the Feng family, many of his plans cannot be realized.
His maternal grandfather's family was also uprooted because of the involvement of the Feng family.
Don't look at him immersed in beauty, he is not a real lustful person, and his grand goal has never changed.
Without power, how can he enjoy all kinds of beauties?
If he has the world, he will have beauties to enjoy.
You can't put eggs in one basket, he knows this principle too well.
So of course he can't put the people he asked his grandfather to raise together.
Although it's still unclear where the fifty people who disappeared went, it's obvious that it was done by the Feng family.
Alas, the child exchange that year caused the revenge of the Feng family, which was really unpredictable.
It would have been better if the grandfather hadn't raised the child.
One wrong step, all wrong steps.
So these days, he has been thinking about how to bring down the Feng family.
He wants to see what the reaction will be when the little daughter of the Feng family becomes famous abroad.
It would be best if a war broke out because of her, to see how his Feng family would respond, and how his father would continue to favor the Feng family.
