The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

At this time the weather is just right, sunny.Xiao Jingyu stood in the yard, looked at the direction of the sun, and asked someone to take a few pieces of paper and put them aside.Then he took down the glazed jade hanging from his waist, faced the sun, and adjusted his position so that the light spots gathered on the paper.

Si Dian and the others saw light spots shining on the paper, some people didn't understand why, while some showed thoughtful expressions.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement on the paper, and no fire appeared.Si Dian took a step forward and asked, "My lord, it seems that there is no movement when you talk about lighting the fire in the air? Is it really possible?"

Xiao Jingyu still maintained the same posture, without raising his head, he said: "Master Si, don't worry, wait a little longer. This king is definitely not lying to you."

Si Dian has other things to do, so he doesn't have time to spend time here with the prince.He was about to refuse when he heard the prince say: "Okay, let's light the fire."

Si Dian immediately looked closely, and saw a small flame on the paper printing and dyeing to the side of the paper, and then the paper slowly burned into ashes.

Si Dian stared at the paper burning into ashes with wide eyes, then turned his head and stared at the glazed jade in Xiao Jingyu's hand.As smart as he is, he can see at a glance that the key to all this is this piece of glazed jade.Although I don't know the principle yet, it will be clear after a little research.

Xiao Jingyu watched several people gather at the place where the paper was burning, and was still exploring the reason.Just as he was shocked when he saw this situation for the first time.

At that time, the concubine showed him the gift prepared for the old lady, and also gave him a forged glazed jade by the way.The gift of reading glasses has amazed him, but he didn't expect the gift from the princess to have a magical effect.

This glazed jade, named by the princess as a magnifying glass, can not only magnify tiny things.It can also gather sunlight to ignite things.He started to play with it immediately after he got it. It was said that a person with extremely sharp eyes could engrave letters on rice grains. With a magnifying glass, he could see even the smallest inscriptions clearly.And this ability to ignite fire from a distance can also come in handy in the wild.

So he always wore this glazed jade from time to time, but he didn't expect that it would really come in handy today.Those in the Ministry of Industry are most interested in novelty things.Xiao Jingyu threw the hook, not afraid that they would be indifferent.

Si Dian said bluntly: "My lord, can I have a look at this glazed jade?"

Xiao Jingyu nodded, and then handed him the glazed jade in his hand, but still told him: "I can only borrow it for you to watch, and it cannot be damaged."

This was a gift from the princess, his favorite thing.

Si Dian took it over immediately, but still smiled and said, "It's natural, let's take a look."

Taking the glazed jade, Si Dian carefully stroked the entire body of the jade, and immediately found that this piece of jade was not so flat and smooth, but convex on both sides and in the middle.He immediately understood whether this shape was the key reason for being able to ignite from a distance.

Before he could continue to observe, the subordinate next to him came over to touch this piece of glazed jade.The Secretary immediately handed it over to them, wanting to know what they thought.

Someone also knew the difference as soon as he touched it, and blurted out: "This colored glaze is concave on the outside and convex on the inside, it's very different."

Someone directly held the glass jade and looked at the sun, saying: "It looks a little blurry, and I feel a little dizzy after looking at it for a long time."

Immediately someone nearby took off the glazed jade and said, "You don't want your eyes! The paper will burn if exposed to it for a long time. Are your eyes still not afraid of fire? Why don't we do it again and see how the paper burns?" "

A group of people immediately took out another piece of paper and began to shine on the paper.At first they were puzzled, but they quickly adjusted and focused the light on the paper.

Soon, the paper burned as expected.They were pleasantly surprised.But soon someone asked, "Is it only the colored glaze? If we make other things concave and convex in this way, can they also be ignited?"

"In my opinion, this should be caused by gathering light at one point. This glazed jade is transparent, and only in this way can the light penetrate. But the price of glazed jade is so expensive, most of them are tributes. We can't buy it unless it is rewarded by the Holy One." arrive."

"Yes, we don't need to think about this glazed jade. Why don't we think about why the shape of the outer concave and inner convex can be ignited? What if the shape of the outer convex and inner concave is different? And the contrast of the concave and convex, the more convex the more good?"

"But we still need the real thing to know. But we don't have Liuliyu?"

"It should be clear as long as it's clear, so we can experiment. But what cheap and affordable things are clear?"

Several people immediately fell into a new round of discussion.But the few things that have been said seem to be not transparent enough.Several people scratched their heads anxiously.

Xiao Jingyu heard from the side and saw that they couldn't help grasping the colored glaze jade tightly in their hands thinking about it. He quickly took the colored glaze jade and wiped it clean before hanging it on his waist again.Seeing people looking at it, he thought for a while and said, "If you want to say it's transparent, ice seems to be fine too."

"Ice!" Yes, why didn't I think of ice.Although the ice is easy to melt, it is enough for them to study.Moreover, there is ice stored in the ice cellar in winter, which is convenient and easy to get and not expensive.

When a few people thought of this, they were anxious to go to the ice cellar to get ice.Si Dian quickly smiled at Xiao Jingyu and said, "My lord, you go to the room to sit and rest for a while, and I'll let someone serve tea. Afterwards, I will arrange a light job for you. If you think of any good ideas, Please tell me."

Xiao Jingyu enjoyed Si Dian's ardent care, and thus easily integrated into the Ministry of Industry.This time it was easier than entering the Ministry of Rites.

Tao Anran knew that Xiao Jingyu had entered the Ministry of Industry this time and dealt with building materials on a daily basis, but something came to his mind, which must be of great use to him now.That is cement.

The simple method of making cement is not difficult.Limestone and clay are calcined into clinker, and then mixed with slag after ironmaking to make cement.Mix it with sand when needed and use it right away.

It's just that some of the ratios need to be carefully considered.So it is still a bit difficult to actually manufacture.So Tao Anran didn't say anything before he succeeded, and only waited to tell Xiao Jingyu when he could use it, and gave him a surprise.And in the future, with cement, the construction of houses and roads can come in handy.

Now that she decided to make cement, Tao Anran got busy.He asked people to bring in raw materials, built a furnace in the open space, and directly instructed his subordinates to close the furnace and burn stones.

So in the following time, Xiao Jingyu was on duty in the Ministry of Industry, and followed the people of the Ministry of Industry to manage some house construction matters in the capital.Things are not very easy, but just do things and don't have to deal with others.It's just that I'm a little tired physically, but I feel relaxed in my heart.

And Tao Anran was making cement in the mansion, and he often made himself ashamed.But when Xiao Jingyu asked about it, he looked mysterious and only said it was a surprise.Xiao Jingyu was both amused and looking forward to it.

Soon the weather in the capital became hot, and people scrambled to eat bayberry, and bayberry wine was even more popular.Although it was not yet time to fetch ice to cool off the heat, there were already many mosquitoes, and the palm-leaf fan was beating non-stop.

Tao An was worried that Xiao Jingyu was tired, so he asked the kitchen to prepare mung bean soup or bayberry soup herbal tea and other cool tea for him to drink every day.

This day was when Xiao Jingyu was taking a bath, and it happened to be raining again, so Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu sat in the gazebo in the mansion to watch the rain hit the lotus leaves.The two listened to the sound of the rain and ate some fresh seasonal fruits. When Xiao Jingyu became interested, he wanted to paint with ink.Tao Anran rubbed ink for him and watched him make a picture of lotus leaves hit by rain.

It's time for the two of them to relax and relax.At this time, Daman braved the rain and rushed to the gazebo to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty hastened to invite civil and military officials to enter the palace to discuss matters."

The lotus leaf on the painting has not yet drawn the roots, Xiao Jingyu frowned and put down the brush, asking, "Do you know what it is?"

Daman hurriedly replied: "I don't know, I just heard that there are three hundred miles of express delivery to Beijing."

Xiao Jingyu was startled, and hurried for three hundred miles, it must be something urgent.He quickly got up and said to the princess: "It seems that something important has happened, I will enter the palace immediately. I don't know when I will be back. If I am late, don't wait for me, go to bed early."

Tao Anran nodded, quickly handed him the umbrella next to him, and replied: "I know, be careful on the road, my lord."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, then held up the umbrella and rushed out of the gazebo.Tao Anran looked at the weather and prayed that nothing major would happen.

Xiao Jingyu came back very late that day, and Tao Anran also learned that a branch of the Yellow River, the Bihe River, burst its embankment due to the increase in summer rain.The counties around the Bihe River have been greatly affected.So the Holy One decided to send people to help the disaster.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water have been in charge of such things as bridges and embankments.And Xiao Jingyu happened to be on duty in the Ministry of Industry again, so this time Xiao Jingyu was sent to take people from the Department of Water to settle the matter around Bihe.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later, so Xiao Jingyu had to leave the next day.After Tao Anran heard this, she didn't feel like sleeping, so she hurriedly asked people to prepare their bags and bring all kinds of things with them.

In the end, Xiao Jingyu held him down and said, "Don't worry, these things will be taken care of by the servants. You can take a good rest with me first, and I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Tao Anran heard the words, so she had no choice but to suppress her anxiety and take a good rest with Xiao Jingyu first.He's going on a long trip tomorrow, so he needs to recharge his batteries tonight.

In the early morning of the second day, Tao Anran sent Xiao Jingyu out early, but met Mr. Yan who was waiting at the door.

Yan Zhen looked at Xiao Jingyu's expression and said, "Your Majesty may have some small hardships, but as long as you remember to keep calm, you will be able to turn bad luck into good fortune."

Xiao Jingyu's eyes flickered, and he replied: "I will remember what you said, sir. I'm afraid this trip will be delayed for some time. I will leave matters in the capital to you, sir."

Yan Zhen responded immediately: "My lord, don't worry, the old man will definitely do his best."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, and then set off with his men on horseback.Tao Anran watched him leave, hoping that his trip would be safe and sound.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month since Xiao Jingyu set off, during which time Tao Anran finally got the cement out.The cement bricks made tentatively are also extremely hard and can be used directly.

Just when he was happy, someone sent a letter outside the door, bringing news of Xiao Jingyu.It's just this news, Tao Anran would rather not know.
