Chapter 299 [Bicycle]
Soon after sitting down, Xia Yi ran in and sat next to a few people, he was a mother-in-law, as soon as he sat down, he talked endlessly about his training results in the past few days, Lin Nan kept nodding his head, humming grace in his mouth, Lin Nan was most concerned about those ministers now, and he didn't listen to his words much. After a while, there was a commotion in the hall, and I only heard countless greetings such as "Hello Wang Chen", "Lord Li has not seen you for a long time", "I have admired for a long time", "I am fortunate to be happy" and so on. Seriously, this is the first time Lin Nan has seen such a grand scene, except for the Spring Banquet and the Chongyang Banquet at the end of the year, there are rarely such grand banquets. This time, all the big officials have arrived, Lin Nan has finally seen enough of the courtiers in the capital, plus Lin Nan's ability to never forget, everyone who has been seen by Lin Nan will not forget it. Lin Nan observed for a long time before he saw that the seating arrangement was clever, in a happy and festive atmosphere, most of the officials were actually divided into several circles, and the circles were clearly separated from each other, and there was almost no intersection, presumably this was the major factions in the court. And the strange thing is that the power of the eldest brother and the second emperor brother is very distributed, but I can't tell which of them are. Soon Lin Nan also saw that Kong Yu and Liu Yuxi were coming, Liu Yuxi became Lin Nan's adviser, everyone in the court knew about it, and the second emperor brother also knew that he didn't seem to suspect anything, but he just felt that it was Lin Nan who Liu Yuxi took refuge in, not Lin Nan who Lin Nan specially accepted him. As soon as they came, they sat in their respective positions, Kong Yu was sitting in a large pile of courtiers, presumably that was the largest force group in the palace that he said, and Liu Yuxi was Lin Nan's adviser and naturally sat behind Lin Nan, but Lin Nan watched it for a long time, and he sat with Lin Nan alone, hehe, no one can notice Lin Nan now. As everyone knows, Lin Nan's power may also have a small number of courtiers. While Lin Nan was observing, he only heard the cloud card being struck, and then the bells and drums rang in unison. Today's most important characters, the old woman and the father, appeared. The audience was suddenly silent, silent, and knelt on the ground in unison. With a eunuch's voice, "Welcome to the emperor, welcome the queen mother." The audience immediately shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The Queen Mother is a thousand years old. At this time, the father and the emperor walked into the hall with the old woman from the side hall, looked at the grand scene and the civil and military officials in one place with satisfaction, sat on the high dragon chair, waved his hand, and naturally someone shouted for him: "Excuse yourself from courtesy." Everyone shouted in unison: "Long live Xie" The sound of thousands of people together and the echo in the room made it even more extraordinary. Lin Nan secretly paid attention to it, and the corners of the mouths of the eldest and second emperor brothers showed imperceptible smiles, probably wanting to be emperors. A treacherous look. When everyone got up and re-entered the table, the eunuch shouted again: "The emperor has an order, the banquet begins, and the foreign guests are here." "Because there is a banquet today, Jerry and Toms did not practice, so they probably came here early to prepare. As soon as the words fell, the two walked in according to the rehearsal under the leadership of a little eunuch. Although it has long been told that they will have a lot of officials present. I still can't help but be overwhelmed by the huge crowd. In another continent, they are not upper-class people, and they have not experienced much of the world. Where have I seen so many officials and nobles gathered together, even when they first met the saint, there were only about three or four hundred people, compared to today, it was very different. When the two came to the field, they looked up and saw their father and emperor sitting on the golden dragon chair without anger, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted in jerky Chinese: "See the emperor." This sentence is still taught by Lin Nan. Today, the two of them wore the most aristocratic Western-style clothes they could imagine, which they had sewn for them. There was a long sword tied to his waist, which looked quite unusual, which caused a lot of discussion in the temple, but fortunately, there was a notice in advance, and no one dared to point a finger at them. Father nodded in satisfaction. waved his hand to the two, and the eunuch next to him spoke: "Flat." Then the eunuch said, "Please give a gift to Jerry." Lin Nan wanted to laugh when he heard the word Shaoxia, but he still held back. Hearing this, Jerry, who was originally a little nervous, finally recovered a little. According to the request of several people, he unsheathed his saber and handed it over, according to him, it was given to him by the king of Farrant last time, this sword is not very sharp, it must be only for beautiful purposes, and the pattern on it is indeed very beautiful. This is what Jerry has been carrying with him as a treasure, and it is estimated that he is reluctant to give it as a gift, but he may feel that a few people have treated them well these days, so he still reluctantly parted his love. Two other eunuchs followed, holding a glass mirror with a jade carved frame and four bottles of red wine in a jade brocade box. In fact, these few things have already been offered, but for today's scene, they have been "borrowed" from the tribute treasure house.
"Jerry Shaoxia gave a royal sword, a treasure mirror, and four bottles of grape wine, and I wish the emperor saints." The little eunuch shouted in a duck-like voice again. Jerry had mentioned that Farrant had made wine, but it was only available in the Western Regions, and ordinary ministers rarely drank it. Although there are not many gifts, but with a royal sword among them, the weight is very different. According to the practice of the Great Shang Dynasty, handing over a weapon represents bowing down to the courtiers, so the father and the emperor are very happy, and the queen mother also shows a smiling face. The civil and military officials present who knew how to observe words and emotions saw that Long Yan Dayue also began to jump out one after another to congratulate his father on the great power of the emperor, and the father was even more happy to laugh when he heard it, and he was very proud, and said in person: "Then I read out my will." This time it was Lin Nan's turn, Lin Nan immediately got up and stood in front of his father, respectfully took a holy decree from the eunuch's hand, and began to read it out loud. The first time I use Chinese, I have to let everyone listen to it. "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: foreign guests Jerry and Toms, crossed the ocean, went through thousands of dangers, came to Linnan Shang Dynasty as a guest, and sent a number of rare gifts. Jie Tang and the two worked hard, and they were given a thousand taels of gold and a hundred brocades. Chin this. Hearing the reward, the two foreigners hurriedly smiled and shouted to their father, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." As soon as the courtiers saw that the opportunity had come, they all knelt on the ground again, and once again wished our emperor the power of the emperor to influence strangers in the world. Lin Nan secretly wanted to shoot the sycophants so neatly, looking at the Queen Mother, she was nodding slightly, it seemed that she had already made arrangements. Lin Nan stood under his father's head, of course he didn't have to kneel down to announce the decree, looking at the backs of a large number of dense ministers below, he began to think about it again, it turned out that being an emperor was so hanging, but he was too worried and upset. After the two foreigners received the holy decree. They sat down in the seats in the envoy area and began to talk to each other in English, Lin Nan saw their expressions and knew that the bounty was not a small amount. The next program was for Lin Nan to introduce some of Farrant's national feelings in Chinese, and after Lin Nan said a few perfunctory words, Lin Nan took advantage of this and immediately said to his father: "Father." The retainers have something to say. "What did you do?" The father was very satisfied with Lin Nan's performance and looked at Lin Nan with a smile. "The two foreign VIPs will return to China next year, and the sons can also leave the palace next year, and I want to personally build a ship to send them back to their hometown, so as to show that Lin Nan has the etiquette of the Great Shang Dynasty." As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, the audience began to discuss. However, the father knows Lin Nan very well, he must know what Lin Nan has planned, he is now relying on Lin Nan for everything, and he listened to Lin Nan after speaking. Ha Luha smiled: "Quasi-play, tomorrow the industrial area in the palace will be all under your command." Lin Nan saw that the old woman didn't say anything, and he was happy in his heart, and glanced at the second emperor brother again, he looked like he was not calling, he definitely didn't know that Lin Nan was going to Death Island as a boat, Lin Nan saw that the hundred officials were a little controversial, and secretly thought that these guys would not eat sweetness and not help, Lin Nan said to his father again: "Father." I heard from foreign envoys that the wine they paid tribute to was different from the wine of the Western Regions. It is not that the longer the shelf life, the stronger the fragrance. It is useless to hide more, it is better to give it to hundreds of officials, drink and enjoy together. When my father heard this, he laughed again: "Okay! The five princes translated a bottle of wine, opened the rest, and drank it together. Everyone's eyes lit up now. Hurriedly knelt down and thanked the emperor. Lin Nan found that at this time, many pairs of eyes swept towards Lin Nan, all of them were approving, which made Lin Nan very happy in his heart. Although Jerry's family is not good, he is also a person who has drunk wine with the king, and he has high requirements for wine. The bottles he offered were all the best in what he thought, and Lin Nan would rest assured that he would offer them to drink together. Although the wine bottle is quite large, four bottles of wine for hundreds of people are not enough, and if you remove the bottle given to Lin Nan, the rest is simply a drop in the bucket. Although each person could only get a small glass, this kind of wine was hard to come by, and they had a contented expression. After a while, the rich aroma of wine filled the entire hall, and it was impossible to tell whether it was from the Western Regions or from Farrant. Several officials who were more addicted to alcohol were even more intoxicated. At the order of the father, the audience stood up and raised their glasses to drink. Lin Nan had already whispered in the ears of his father and the old woman about the differences between the two wines, otherwise there would definitely be a storm after drinking it in one gulp. The courtiers were not mentally prepared, and a few of them almost vomited out what they had drunk. These are two bottles of dry red wine of quite a vintage, one of the specialties of the country of France, the sugar content is very low, according to the level of the previous life is only less than three percent, rash taste must be sour and astringent, must be shaken in the air for a while, and contact with oxygen for a while, will give off a rich aroma, the taste will also improve. Take a small sip and the aftertaste will also be intoxicating. Spit and vomit, but seeing that there was no movement from his father, everyone didn't dare to say anything, and they were all trying to figure out how to rinse their mouths. Those who were still annoyed that they didn't get a share of the wine are now rejoicing in their good fortune, they probably think that the wine is bad, according to the saying that these people are: tyrannical things. The wine was also drunk, and then several pictures were unfolded by several palace maids, and Lin Nan and Yulan began to introduce them to everyone. According to the arrangement, the two mainly introduced some of the customs and customs of Farrant, and talked about them one by one along the map that I don't know whether the road was correct or not, and with the characters and architectural styles drawn, it was certain that the ministers in the field were extremely shocked. Omitting that they are different from the two of them, not talking about science and technology, but detailing some of their incredible customs in the eyes of the two, such as eating and doing abdominal push-ups, and other strange habits, while talking, the audience will occasionally cause an exclamation or a burst of laughter. The father also touched a few strands of his beard and whispered something to the old woman, and it seemed that they, like everyone else, were amazed at what they had said. Lin Nan looked around the audience and found that these ministers, the royal family was very fake, and they looked like they were smiling and not smiling, hey, in the struggle for survival in the palace, sometimes they can live longer by changing their masks and being a man. It took more than half an hour to introduce all the information about Farrant that a few people knew. Yulan because she is the director of the translation hall, so most of it is narrated by her, sometimes she can't say it, Lin Nan will add a few words, this baby and Lin Nan cooperate well, and the ministers are itchy to listen to, if it weren't for the father and the old woman sitting on it, I'm afraid that I would rush over and ask a few people to explain the wonderful place in detail a few times, these people also like to brag and fart, I'm afraid the story they heard today is the gossip after they go back. As soon as a few people finished speaking, the sixth emperor sister appeared at this time, although she was not favored by her father, but she was also a princess no matter how she said it. But a few princesses of the Great Shang Dynasty, this kind of big event still has to call her, this time she came out probably because of the old woman's meaning, the old woman usually does not favor the prince and the princess, and she treats everyone equally, which she does quite fairly. This is just right, otherwise it will be difficult to help Lin Nan's two imperial brothers with her power. This Sixth Emperor Sister is very shy, she may have been trained, her posture this time is dignified, she holds a few people in the translation hall to bind the translation of the book into a book dedicated to her father, the name of this book was taken by Lin Nan, originally wanted to take a dictionary, after thinking about it, they don't know what a dictionary is not appropriate. It's still easier for people to understand the translation, anyway, this book is a translation of Chinese and English. When the father saw that it was this Dongdong, Longyan was happy, and today was a big banquet, so he didn't want to lose face, so he rewarded the six emperor sisters heavily. and promoted her to the ambassador of the main book, the original ambassador of the book has returned to her hometown, and she is just absent. And this position is very high, and it is specifically responsible for managing all kinds of copywriting in the palace. To put it bluntly, she is sorting out the various deeds of this dynasty, that is, the history of this dynasty, of course, she is not responsible for writing, she is responsible for writing the snake historian, Lin Nan has known it before, and the difficult old eunuch who gave Lin Nan a token last time wanted to write a harem in this history. Now that the Sixth Emperor Sister is in charge of this work, it will be much more convenient to open the back door in the future. Lin Nan once had a hunch that she would help Lin Nan one day, and sure enough, now she has an official position. Take advantage of this in the future. At this time, a person walked out of the hundred officials, knelt on the ground, and said: "Long live, the old minister has something to play." "This minister Lin Nan doesn't know, and I don't know what he does. His father glanced at him, waved his hand, and motioned for him to speak. "Chen Mingde, the translation score presented by Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess just now is the link between foreign countries and our Great Shang Dynasty. We are a big country, but we do not have a single book of Chinese characters, and there are thousands of Chinese languages in the whole Chinese language, so that the north and the south cannot know each other, and it is difficult for the east and the west to communicate with each other. The ministers dared to ask the emperor to issue a decree, compile the code of Lin Nan Dashang, check the source of words and words, and pass it on to future generations, so that everyone knows it, and then our emperor can enjoy this immortal achievement. "Yes, Ai Qing is reasonable, quasi-playing, named De as the canonizer, the post of the general consul to govern the canon, the Ministry of Officials dispatched manpower, and the world's books are consulted by Ren Qing. For ten years, the name of the dictionary is called ......" The father thought for a while, and didn't know what to call Lu Dao, Lin Nan blurted out: "It's better to call it a Chinese dictionary." "Ze'er, this name is very wonderful, so it's called the Chinese dictionary, and you will start doing it tomorrow." Lin Nan was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect Lin Nan's casual name to be so decided, could it be that the Chinese dictionary in Lin Nan's previous life was really the name invented by Lin Nan? That's pretty cool. However, this famous man is very far-sighted, and must be a talent, and he has the opportunity to get to know him. The next thing is to appreciate the treasures of the stranger, that is, the bronze mirror, the clear mirror caused a sensation in the audience, several people The mirrors generally used in the Shang Dynasty are polished copper mirrors, even if the best craftsmanship, compared with the clarity of this mirror, it is far from the same. I heard that many favorite concubines wanted to ask their father, but he didn't agree, it seems that it is too easy to use, and there is only one side, and my father is reluctant to give it away. It was the first time Lin Nan saw this mirror, which also surprised Lin Nan, of course, not because Lin Nan had never seen a glass mirror, but because the craftsmanship contained in this mirror was too coveted by Lin Nan. The color of the glass, the uniformity of the plating, and the smoothness of the surface are all far beyond the production capacity of this dynasty, and after chatting with the two foreigners for so long, they didn't even find that the level of craftsmanship on that continent has reached such a high level. If Lin Nan comes to do the reinvention and then becomes the founder of the invention, I don't know if the two strangers know the production method of the mirror, if they know the Tao, they can save Lin Nan a lot of time and energy, and the next time they chat, Lin Nan has to ask carefully, maybe they can learn some manufacturing methods. After these things are done, the next banquet is singing and dancing, and the planning is staggered. These shows used to be fresh, but now they are annoyed to watch them, Lin Nan is bored, but he can't leave the table early, so he has to talk to Xia Yi until the end.
After staying up for a long time, he finally finished the celebration banquet, and now Lin Nan should start to do shipbuilding and research science and technology. Because of the idea of seeing the treasure mirror and mahjong, Lin Nan decided to invent something to come out, which will definitely help Lin Nan in the future. A few days ago, Lin Nan thought about it for several days, and sorted out a lot of material lists, since his father let the entire industrial zone be controlled by Lin Nan, this can make Lin Nan so crooked, there is everything in the industrial zone. Handicrafts, carpenters, boatmen's work, you name it. Anyway, there is still half a year to go, in addition to shipbuilding, Lin Nan can also study something else, and create something that this dynasty does not have. Lin Nan thought about it and decided to build a bicycle to play around. Lin Nan first equipped a number of master blacksmiths and carpenters, as well as all kinds of tools and materials. In this era, the status of craftsmen is very low, so those people are easily satisfied, and if they are kind to them, they will be loyal to Lin Nan. Father's holy decree, Lord Liu, who is in charge of the industrial zone, simply handed over the workshop specializing in repairing royal appliances outside the back gate of the imperial city to Lin Nan for use, this place Lin Nan is going to engage in high-tech, hehe, as for the shiphouse, Lin Nan has already let Master Zhang, who is familiar with Kong Yu, start to handle it. The boat Tu Linnan also took it, secretly someone transported the ore, refined the ore, and there was a special person to pick out the ore, so that it did not look so pure, after all the affairs were done, Lin Nan decided not to go to see it often, that place was on the surface of a wooden boat. In fact, he is helping Lin Nan build the Miru ship, and if Lin Nan goes often, it will definitely be suspicious. Lin Nan now trusts him very much, and Lin Nan instructed him to leave Liu Yuxi's task first and help Lin Nan manage the affairs of the shiphouse, so that Lin Nan will be idle, and he can just mess around with other scientific research. Anyway, Lin Nan ordered him to make sure the ship was built within six months. The rest of the things came from Lin Nan's preparation, Kong Yu was not only shrewd but also capable, he was absolutely relieved that Lin Nan was absolutely relieved, just kidding, decades of old fritters. If you don't have the ability, you can still live until now. Since all the affairs are assigned, Lin Nan has no worries, he can devote himself to the scientific research of the workshop, and after coming to the workshop, he will understand the situation here, in fact, the utensils in the palace are now arranged by several craft families, this small workshop is already dispensable, the Internal Affairs Office has long wanted to cancel it, but it has been dragged out and has not been implemented, usually just repairing some minor problems, pitiful more than a dozen outstanding craftsmen of various crafts, empty of amazing craftsmanship, but can only tinker with other people's works. After completing the acceptance procedures with Lord Liu, those houses and more than a dozen craftsmen will be considered to be returned to Lin Nan, of course, Lin Nan still has to have a token if he wants to go, which is the same as the previous translation hall outside the palace. After Lin Nan allocated manpower, he divided the workshop into two parts, one part was used by craftsmen, called the "Craftsman Society", and the other part was the place where Lin Nan studied chemistry, physics and other knowledge, called the "Chemical Courtyard". It may be the reason for the deviation, although the natural science of chemistry cannot produce immediate results and make results, but Lin Nan always thinks that it will definitely come in handy in the future, and Lin Nan asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send Lin Nan some more manpower and equipment. Including some alchemists who used to be involved in the making of utensils in the palace, and created a number of gold and silver containers, this one was relatively stable before the glass was refined. Because Lin Nan wants to engage in several scientific research at the same time, the material requirements are very miscellaneous, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs specially divided two people who have been collecting materials outside the palace to listen to Lin Nan's dispatch, Lin Nan did not say a word and directly asked them to let some well-known officials send half a catty of various mineral stones from all over the local area, and each stone must be labeled to indicate the origin and name. Within two days, the two of them were stacked in the backyard of the "Craftsman's Society", large and small, strange shapes, and countless metals, wood, and other materials with words on them. Lin Nan asked them to go to the capital to recruit a lot of manpower, and asked the famous Wuji Dao Master in the alchemy world to sit in command of the "Transformation Courtyard" and sort out the stones that were transported. Most of the stones were the most common and repetitive stones, probably more than half of them were thrown away, and the rest were sampled separately and recorded, and there were thousands of them. The old Taoist has probably never seen so many stones once, as an alchemist, Lin Nan can also see that he is a mouse into the rice tank, and he doesn't want any reward, he doesn't even live in the house prepared for him, and he moves directly to the workshop, that is a kind of collector's fanaticism, Lin Nan secretly said that this time he invited the right person. With so many stones, plus other materials, Lin Nan thought that it would take a lot of time to sort out the work in the early stage. During this time, the "Craftsman Society" could not be idle, Lin Nan thought about it for a while and decided to let them make some achievements. It is to make a bicycle that Lin Nan has long conceived, this is a creation with considerable technical difficulty, it is nothing in Lin Nan's previous life, and the bicycle is a treasure here. If Lin Nan successfully built one, it wouldn't hang people. Lin Nan took out the bicycle accessories that had been drawn a long time ago, this was a sketch that Lin Nan spent a night drawing, and the size had been marked on it, Lin Nan was very confident that the craftsmen could understand and do it, otherwise their brains would have been in the water. This first bicycle was relatively simple in composition, and the whole bike was almost entirely made of lightweight hardwood. Only use iron sheets at the joints, and use the best greased black iron, that is, the inferior steel, for the joints and the shafts that are prone to wear. In his previous life, Lin Nan once saw a bicycle with a history of one or two hundred years in a museum, and that shape gave Lin Nan a lot of inspiration, because of the reason that he never forgets, Lin Nan still remembers. Now there are no paved asphalt roads in this dynasty. If you go straight to the road like this, it will probably break the cyclist's bones. Lin Nan added tires again. The rubber was not found for a while, but the material of the coconut ball was also good, but there was no here, so Lin Nan referred to the method of the Song Dynasty people in the previous history to make keju, and sewed it into a tire-like shape with hard cowhide to fill soft things such as feathers. I fix it on a wooden tire, and I estimate the effect of shock resistance to some extent. Then there's a thick, soft seat with a little more shock absorption, and the gears and chains are made of rough wood carousels and elastic tough tendons that clasp around them. Looking at this strange sketch that the Great Shang Dynasty had never seen before. A dozen well-informed craftsmen were all puzzled. Lin Nan didn't say that he came up with it himself, it was presumed that it was seen in the ancient books in the royal collection, and it was said that it was a utensil designed by a master like a public loss, which was terrifying and everyone was frightened, joking Master Luban must be a god-like existence in the hearts of the craftsmen, so naturally there was no doubt. Lin Nan gave them a general explanation of the working principle, which they understood very quickly, after all, they were skilled craftsmen. Without too much of Ferinnan's tongue, the only thing that I can't understand is what Lin Nan said that the two wheels can be erected and run. More importantly. Lin Nan reminded them that according to the principle of Zhilu Dao, they can adopt a better process by themselves and not stick to the drawings. Looking at their verbal promises, Lin Nan knew that they would still make them according to the original map, superstitions about saints for thousands of years. It's not that Lin Nan, a prince, can change it with a few words, and the whole workshop has something to do, but now that the affairs are assigned, Lin Nan, the owner, can't intervene, it seems that in the past two months, Lin Nan doesn't have to worry about things here. Just keep an eye on the progress. Lin Nan is tired these days, he hasn't really made love with Xiaoyue for a long time, and when he is done, Lin Nan wants to go back and fight with her bedside for hundreds of rounds, Ha Luha, Lin Nan is getting stronger and stronger about that matter now, but Lin Nan is very depressed because he is not yet the age of the maid.
These days, the affairs of the shiphouse are going smoothly, and Lin Nan is not so bothered, and he can pounce on Lin Nan's own workshop wholeheartedly. In ten days, the craftsmen who built the bikes had already made their mark. They thought that this was Lu Ban's design, the craftsman's grandfather's thing, how dare they slack off. So I used the best materials, worked day and night, and completed the first bicycle model without a few failures, and then asked for a delay of several days before inviting Lin Nan to go to the acceptance. Lin Nan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the car for the first time, this is a bicycle that can be promoted, it is clearly a hand-me-down work of art, Lin Nan imagined that the yellow wood of the earth was all carved with exquisite patterns, and it was also pasted with gold leaf, and the iron sheets used for wrapping were all polished and shiny, which simply dazzled Lin Nan's eyes. Lin Nan thought about it, no wonder these guys had to drag on for a few days, it turned out that the last few days were to pack the car, these people probably haven't used their craft for too long to suffocate their panic, and now they are all vented in this car, and the national treasures are probably produced in this way. Lin Nan smiled secretly, compared to the few historical bicycles that Lin Nan saw in the museum in his previous life, the first one of several people was definitely ten thousand times more beautiful in appearance, anyway, it would be protected as a historical witness in the future, Lin Nan was the inventor, so let them do it once. This first bike had no brakes, and you had to force your feet in the opposite direction to stop the bike. Lin Nan had ridden such a car once, so he had a little experience, so he found a relatively flat place in the yard and inspected it himself. It's not bad, it didn't disappoint Lin Nan, the car ran very easily, Lin Nan turned the slightly tight faucet around the field, and felt like returning to his hometown in his previous life, a few craftsmen who had probably tried riding and were beaten wide open, and couldn't figure out why the strange car that had fallen countless times became so obedient at Lin Nan's feet. Lin Nan rode round and round with pleasure in the envious eyes of everyone in the courtyard who discovered the miracle and came to watch, and the spring breeze was proud. But when he stopped, he encountered a problem, because Lin Nan slowed down too fast all of a sudden, he actually broke the cow tendon that was used as a chain. Lin Nan calmed down and shouted to everyone who didn't know whether they should rush up to rescue the driver, and it didn't take long for a while. The car gradually stopped on its own amid the cheers of the crowd. Although there was an accident, Lin Nan still praised the craftsmen a lot, and each of them rewarded them with silver coins, they usually rarely get rewards, and when they saw Lin Nan so generous, they all showed happy smiles. In fact, there is no need for Lin Nankua, just the honor of participating in and seeing the works of Master Lu Ban come out with their own eyes, which can make them proud of their lives. Lin Nan got out of the car and pointed out some shortcomings to them, telling them that because the ancient books he read were broken, the drawings he copied were incomplete, and Master Lu's design originally had a brake, and now it can only be repaired by everyone. Hehe, this time Lin Nan is not afraid that they don't have to think about it. made their own innovations. People's abilities are forced out, Lin Nan is now to force out the creativity of these skilled craftsmen, always imitate the predecessors, superstitious predecessors, what can be done, Lin Nan will rely on them to invent and create for Lin Nan in the future, these craftsmen with decades of experience play a role, naturally Lin Nan has a genius who has theory but has not practiced the most needed. The bike is almost complete. What Lin Nan should be thinking about is how to use this invention, if not counting those decorations. Slightly lower the material, now there are not many materials for the production of a car, about seventy percent of the people in the capital can afford it, what Lin Nan has to do is to promote it out, all printed with Lin Nan's name, this is a big invention. If you get publicity, the royal family will also have face, but you can't be too showy, and when the time comes, you have to discuss with your father and let him speak out. It is said that Lin Nan made it with reference to Master Lu Ban's classics, but Lin Nan had to do it himself. Now there are capable people inside and outside the palace who help Lin Nan develop his strength, and there is only one publicity and sales advertising staff officer missing, this profession is not even in the palace, so this talent is difficult to find. Lin Nan realized at this time how important a successful advertising campaign is, no matter how good things are, it is useless if no one pushes them, but where to find this person. Although Lin Nan is in urgent need of this manpower now, but his own people are always more trustworthy, even if Kong Yu and Liu Yuxi may not be able to help Lin Nan find this kind of talent, Lin Nan thought for a while, and suddenly thought of Lin Nan's maternal relatives, his father is a natural royal family, but Lin Nan's mother is not, those people in her mother's family heard that some of them are doing business outside the palace, and they have a strong relationship network, and they are all very good, but those so-called relatives have not come to see Lin Nan a few times since Lin Nan was born. I heard Lin Nan's mother say that several of them became officials, and a few of them made a fortune in business, but Lin Nan had never met those who were officials, and it is estimated that they should have found organizations to seek refuge in the palace. Advertising people must find businessmen, and the people of the mother's family have an extra layer of kinship, and they will not be too outward, Lin Nan decided to try to find them to help Lin Nan first, if you are lucky, you can find a few relatives who are officials, and by the way, you can pull into Lin Nan's command to help Lin Nan act, which is a double win, and it can also reduce the burden for Liu Yuxi. Make up your mind, deal with the trivial matters of the workshop at night, Lin Nan ran to the queen mother's bedroom, today she fortunately didn't go to play mahjong, in the palace, Lin Nan actually wanted to ask the situation of her mother's family first, who are some people, and what official position she holds. Lin Nan got straight to the point as soon as she entered the room, although she was a little strange why Lin Nan suddenly cared about this, but she had always cared about Lin Nan, and after thinking about it, Lin Nan was her son, and she should have told Lin Nan about her family, and it was not good to be a prince, and she couldn't even figure out where her mother was from, since Lin Nan wanted to know Lu Dao, it was also Lin Nan who should have known Lu Dao, so she talked to Lin Nan endlessly. In fact, for so many years, Lin Nan didn't know much about his mother's situation, because Lin Nan didn't ask, she didn't say it, after this question, Lin Nan learned that Lin Nan's mother was born in Suzhou, Dongjiang South Road, and the family was originally an official eunuch family, and it was a famous scholarly family in Suzhou City. Lin Nan's great-grandfather had been a marching staff officer in the army of the ancestor emperor who had risen up to fight the world decades ago, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as a waiter in the household department for a long time, and his maternal grandfather originally inherited the same position, but he stood in the wrong place during the first royal competition, and was transferred far away from the center of power, and returned to his hometown of Suzhou to be a dispensable petty official. Fortunately, the Beijing officials who were transferred from Suzhou Assassin Shi Zhidao still have an intricate relationship between the DPRK and China, so they have never felt sorry for their mother's family, but they have been suppressed and can no longer be promoted. Until the grandfather gave birth to a beautiful country, the smart daughter of ice and snow, in the emperor's selection of concubines, successfully sent the fifteen-year-old young girl into the inner deep palace, since then the official fortune began to prosper again Listening to his mother's narration, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh a little at the ancestor, this dynasty sent a daughter into the palace is a blessing to come, Lin Nan knew in his heart that if he wants to promote equality between men and women in this era, even if it is not completely impossible, I am afraid it will take several generations. The queen mother saw that Lin Nan was interested, and continued: "I am the youngest child in the family, and I have three older brothers and two older sisters. Your eldest uncle and second uncle are in their early forties, and they are both serving as civil servants under the Dongjiang South Provincial Observation Envoy, and I heard that not long ago I asked to be transferred to your second emperor's brother, but I don't know where Lu Dao is now. Lin Nan was a little angry when he heard this, these two relatives actually went to the second emperor brother, they are quite discerning, the second emperor brother is powerful, but it is only temporary, and they don't mix with themselves, the two of them probably haven't heard the phrase that fat water doesn't leave outsiders in the field, if these two people are really good, they will get them under their command in the future. The queen mother took a sip of the tea on the table, glanced at Lin Nan, paused, and continued: "Your two aunts have already left the cabinet, the eldest aunt is the newly appointed Suzhou Assassin History, and the second aunt is the deputy defense history of Suzhou. She seemed a little reluctant to mention it at this point. Lin Nan was very interested, and hurriedly urged her to continue talking, Lin Nan vaguely remembered that the queen mother seemed to have told Lin Nan about these things, but at that time, Lin Nan was obsessed with the imperial maid's thaumaturgy, and never regarded them as real family members, so the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and now there was an urgent need for talents, and Lin Nan had to be despicable once.
