On a sunny morning, a group of people walked slowly on the flat and wide road. Not far from the right is the river crossing. When the river wind blows, you can still smell the smell of life on the other side of the river. On the left are some landscape vegetation. Although the road It is only as wide as the county road, but it is the main traffic route for the palace, connecting the palace area, plain area, mountain area and lake area.

If he had come here when he first came here, Shi Min would definitely ridicule the extravagance and corruption of the feudal system in his heart. Now that the emperor has been in power for a few years, he is already used to it and doesn't take it seriously. The awe and love for nature is a big deal. as always.

Qingying was running around, Bu Qianxue was one step behind her, and Lu Guanchu and the others followed closely behind. I don't know why, ever since Qingying went to Bu Qianxue's place As long as Fanbu Qianxue is by her side, Qingying will also be by their side, no longer disappearing at every turn like before, only appearing at mealtimes.

Bu Qianxue looked at the naughty Qingying running around as focused and pampered as she was watching a naughty child. Although Shi Min showed her dislike for Qingying several times, she knew that it was just an appearance.

"It's a blessing for Qingying to find His Majesty, and it's also a blessing for His Majesty to have a Xiezhi by his side." Bu Qianxue was really happy for Shi Min, after all, Xiezhi is a kind of divine beast, not an ordinary dog. A cat.

"Yeah, I just don't know if it's true, like the legend, it can tell the truth from the fake and resolve disputes." Shi Min was really curious about this, but she herself has mind reading skills, so it's easy to judge the truth from the fake, and she doesn't need Qingying at all.

"This humble minister doesn't know." Bu Qianxue doesn't know much about the legendary beast like Xiezhi. Qingying is the only one who has seen it alive. The current impression of it is that it is delicious and loves to play. Will it? It's not clear whether it's true or false.

The bobbins and waterwheels have been completed, and today they are officially launched into the water. The place Shi Min will take her to is on the edge of the crossing river next to Huangtian. Huangtian is the only place in the entire palace that is not surrounded by high walls and fences. In the place where there is a special county road from Duming Bridge to Huangtian, it is built outside the palace wall, which is convenient for farmers living on the other side to cultivate.

The morning sun in the early spring was not strong, but it was warm enough to make Shi Min feel very happy, and he started to talk more, "You think I'm ruthless about Kang Guo's affairs."

Shi Min's topic changed too quickly, and Bu Qianxue paused, "I never thought this way, but I think that His Majesty does not use weapons because he cares about the soldiers and cares for the people. His Majesty is full of thoughts. Now that he has made a decision, it is his own responsibility." Your Majesty's intentions and plans", although she is not doing errands now, she is still very concerned about the country's affairs, and she knows everything that should be known about Kang Guo.

At the beginning, she was actually very worried that Shi Min would send troops. Sending troops is easy to say and easy to write, but once a war breaks out, people will die or money will be consumed, and the people will not live well, which will be detrimental to the country. It was not good for Shi Min, she didn't want to see such a thing happen.

"It would be great if everyone in the world thought like you, but they won't think so. They will think that I am weak and deceitful, and that I am afraid of them." Shi Min's tone of voice did not fluctuate, as if he was talking about the weather. Same, but the content of the words made Bu Qianxue not know how to speak for a while, and after walking for a few steps, she said: "I don't know what people in the world will think, but I know that your majesty is by no means a mediocre lord. permanent retreat".

"Hahaha, well said, since the phoenix is ​​seated, I will work for the well-being of the people of the world, and will not let the vassal state be turned upside down. Even if it is turned upside down, I will turn the sky upside down again." Qianxue's thoughts may also be most familiar with Bu Qianxue, as long as she is with her, Shi Min will always talk much more than with other queen candidates.

And when she was with Bu Qianxue, she didn't have to pretend or put on a straight face, she could relax and be herself.

"I believe His Majesty can do it, and I believe that I will see it with my own eyes in the near future..." Seeing Shi Min so happy for the first time, Bu Qianxue felt that the smile on her face was brighter than the sun in the sky. still warm.

The rising sun was a little higher, shortening the figure of the two people. Qingying ran happily in front of the road paved with irregular stone slabs. She had visited the whole villa, and now she wanted to stay with the two of them By your side, comfortable.

Lu Guanchu, who was following far behind, smiled even more when he heard His Majesty laughing. She has served His Majesty for so many years, and she knows that His Majesty's emotions are invisible. It's been a long time since I heard it. If she remembers correctly, it was only when His Majesty was playing with the attendants before he ascended the throne that he was so happy.

After a stick of incense, the two of them were chatting unfinished, but they had already arrived at the edge of the river, and the officials and carpenters from the Ministry of Industry who had been waiting here for a long time came up to salute and put the things built according to her requirements in order. by the road.

Bu Qianxue looked at the wooden objects, but she didn't know any of them. The only thing she was sure of was that they were all made of wood, whether they were round, plaque or square. The officials and carpenters looked extremely excited, as if these things were treasures.

Shi Min avoided their ceremony, turned around and whispered to Bu Qianxue, "You will watch here for a while, I will show you something good", although she didn't know what she was going to show him, but Bu Qianxue was still curious After agreeing to it, Shi Min arranged for Lu Guanchu and others to protect Bu Qianxue, while he himself went off the field and began to direct.

Bu Qianxue knew that she couldn't help, so she stayed quietly in a place with a wide view and watched Shi Yan, who was wearing a brown uniform, commanding the Imperial Army on the river dam to assist the carpenter in assembling the pieces of wooden things placed together. Several internal guards also went into the water.

The reason why Shimin chose to install the bobbins and waterwheels in the upper reaches of the Duhe River next to Huangtian is because the water here is relatively turbulent but not very deep, and the few mu of Huangtian here is just higher than the river. All rely on manpower, it is very necessary to install.

The construction principle of the barrel car and the water wheel is the same, and both are tools for hydraulic irrigation of farmland.Only the material is different. The drum cart is made of bamboo, while the water wheel is made of wood, so Shi Yan named them drum cart and water wheel respectively. A number of small bamboo and wooden tubes, 32 tubes in total, are used to drive the main wheel by water flow, and the small tubes around the wheel are scooped up with water in sequence, poured out to the top, connected with wooden troughs, and introduced into the canal field.

Before making the current finished product, Mu Changqing asked a carpenter to make a miniature tube cart. It was small and easy to assemble, and the trial was also very successful. It really brought water from a low place to a high place without any manpower.

At the moment of success, not only the carpenter, but Mu Changqing and other officials all admired His Majesty's mind. He was able to come up with so many weird ideas and design these things, and His Majesty was definitely ranked first throughout the ages.

Shi Min personally went to see the miniature tube car, but the assembly of the small one was much easier than the finished product. Shi Min was also worried, so he went to direct it in person. After all, it was designed by her, and there was no one there. Knows better than she does.

While Shi Min and Bu Qianxue were commanding the other to watch seriously, they rode fast horses into Duhe City and headed straight for the palace. They were stopped by the foreign guards just after they crossed the Ming Bridge.

This time, when he came to the palace for a short stay, Shi Min not only brought some foreign forbidden troops but also some internal forbidden troops. The forbidden troops who originally guarded the palace were automatically under the command of the foreign forbidden troops when the emperor came. Yi Tongfan, the commander of the army, went down to cross the river and refused to accompany her, so she stayed at Jinzhengmen to respond at any time.

Except for the farmers who specialize in cultivating the imperial fields who only come here during the busy season, other people are not allowed to enter the palace even if they are local officials. Even the side of the river has become a forbidden place. The horse came quickly, and Yi Tongfan would naturally not let them pass.

The general who accompanied him stepped forward and asked, "Who is here? We know that this is a royal forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter without an edict."

Wen Zhimian, who was suddenly stopped, looked displeased, and turned his head to signal his entourage. The entourage nodded in understanding, patted the horse and got off the horse a few steps forward and said loudly: "My second young master is the daughter of Marquis Wen. I ordered you to come to the palace to see His Majesty."

"There is no evidence for what you say. Since you are the daughter of Marquis Wen, please show the evidence." The general is dedicated to his duty in front of his superiors, and he dare not miss any procedures that should be followed.

Wen Zhimian, who had already dismounted, directly threw the reins to another follower, walked up to the general in a few steps, and readily took out a token-shaped object from his arms and handed it over.

Yi Tongfan knew Wen Zhimian, and it is estimated that there is no one in the court who did not know her. Wen Zhimian was famous in Fandu for being playful. Once he had a dispute with another son of a nobleman in a cockfight, not only He beat his chicken to death, beat him up, and robbed him of all his money. In the end, the trouble came to the queen mother, and she was especially good at making her happy. In the end, she punished her intentionally. The dudes all stayed away when they saw her.

The general took the token and looked at it carefully, then handed it to Yi Tongfan respectfully. I went to ask for instructions.

The keepsakes of big families are generally tokens, which are round or square, and the materials are also different. The surname is engraved on the front, and the totem representing the family is engraved on the back. It needs to be registered in the Yamen and publicized before it can be used. The number changes. Also need to go to the registration in time.

The royal gold medal also follows this principle. It is square in shape, engraved with stones on the front, engraved with small characters around it as if I am here in person, and engraved with a nine-tailed phoenix on the back, made of pure gold. The side branch Xiaozong is carved with peacocks. The totem of the totem is slightly different from the bulk totem.

Wen Zhimian saw that the direction the general ran to report was not in the palace, and he immediately became interested. The emperor's cousin is much more fun than her brother, otherwise she would not have begged the queen mother to come here.

When Lu Guanchu came to report to Wen Zhimian for an interview, Shi Min was directing the water tanker to launch. The drum tanker had been successfully installed and the water had been diverted into the field. Bu Qianxue was surprised and delighted to see it, which made her instantly think of——what if If it is promoted nationwide, wouldn't it increase a lot of fertile land!

For the cousin Er Mian, Shi Min still understands, she must have been allowed to come here after begging her mother, otherwise she would never be allowed to leave Fandu because of her aunt's temperament, and it must be her aunt's Nadu from the description. He came to look for her without going, and asked someone to bring her here.

Wen Zhimian arrived at the river crossing in a short while under the leadership of the imperial guards. She saw two big round wheels from a distance, and there were people around the big round wheels. She knew that the emperor's cousin must be there. , Driven by curiosity, I walked faster. ?
