Chapter 192: A Strange Invention!

"This is a poem made by the prince?"

The emperor looked at the music in his hand, and slowly stood up, this is the first time Yu Zhiqian has made a whole poem, it used to be one or two sentences, which made people itch in their hearts, and they wanted to continue to write it, there was no such level, if they didn't write it, they felt a little pity.

"Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince presided over the spring ploughing, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were playing in the fields, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made this persuasion, and now the entire Chang'an people are saying that the Prince is a good prince who is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and if he doesn't sympathize with the people's feelings, he can't write such a poem!"

"Well, that's good!" After the emperor looked back and forth a few times, he nodded slowly, and then continued to read, raising his eyebrows, a little disbelieving: "The prince really planted all the land?" ”

In the eyes of the emperor, although Yu Zhiqian is not a person who likes to work hard, but he is not a diligent guy, he actually planted three acres of land alone, if it is ordinary people planting three acres of land, the emperor is not surprised, because their work is to farm, but the prince actually planted all three acres of land, which is a bit incredible, this is not the style of the prince!

Farming is very tiring, before the emperor asked Yu Zhiqian to do something, Yu Zhiqian pushed back, and when he encountered a little thing, he wanted to dodge and go, but now he actually took the initiative to ......

"Your Majesty, this is my blessing!"

The emperor snorted coldly, looking at the perfunctory pieces sent to him, I am blessed? This guy doesn't even bother to deal with it, I really don't know what this guy will look like after becoming the emperor, he is quite diligent, Yu Zhiqian, forget it......

In the royal palace, Yu Zhiqian sat on the top, looked at Xu Xiake, who was resting, and looked at Xu Xiake with a smile, this guy really lived up to his expectations and came back.

When the adventure team was formed, when Yu Zhiqian saw the name of Xu Xiake in the list, he knew that this expedition should be successful, after all, he was Xu Xiake, the most famous explorer in China, if Xu Xiake couldn't lead the team to find the American continent, then if he wanted to find the American continent, he could only rely on human life to pile up.

"Your Highness!"

"Drink tea first, by the way, are you hungry, I have asked someone to prepare a meal for you, and I will eat with the palace!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

Xu Xiake was so excited that he almost knelt down, Yu Zhiqian immediately stretched out his hand to stop this guy, and did not let him kneel successfully, in Yu Zhiqian's opinion, Xu Xiake and the group of people who went out to explore with him are worthy of respect.

This group of people, like the soldiers guarding the border pass, is doing things for the country with their lives, the border soldiers guard the peace of the country, and this group of people is exploring the future for the people of the country.

"Have you arrived in Heilongjiang?"

Xu Xiake nodded: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, our vanguard expedition has found the location of Heilongjiang and is repairing, waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince's next order!" ”

Yu Zhiqian was not in a hurry to explore the American continent, he chose to take his time step by step, the American continent is too far away, and it is basically impossible to find the American continent now, but Yu Zhiqian believes that he can explore the American continent in a few years, more than ten years, and decades.

Therefore, Yu Zhiqian divided the entire route to the American continent into several sections, step by step, slowly, little by little, and the first step was to find Heilongjiang and establish a base.

"Well done, tell me how you found it!"

When Xu Xiake heard that Yu Zhiqian wanted to hear the story of his adventure, his eyes immediately lit up: "Your Highness, we set off from Chang'an, and according to your instructions, we set off towards the northeast......"

Xu Xiake and others are not too thrilling along the way, and now the Liaodong region is in the hands of the Yutang Empire, so until they leave Liaodong, there are sufficient supplies from the department, and Yu Zhiqian also fooled his father, and the court fully supports this exploration operation.

"After arriving in Liaodong, we encountered a real test, there is no way, we can go forward little by little, looking for Heilongjiang!"

Yu Zhiqian listened to Xu Xiake's words, although it was very plain, but he could feel the hardships.

"It's a white day all around, the snow seems to never end, many people can't bear it, some people fall asleep, and they never wake up, and we have suffered a lot of attrition during this time!"

Xu Xiake spoke very calmly, and Yu Zhiqian listened quietly beside him.

"We met a lot of wild people who lived in groups, and they couldn't be considered wild people, they were small tribes, and we got a lot of supplies from them, and later found a few guides who could speak Chinese!"

"The guide took us for more than ten days, we saw Heilongjiang, legend has it that there was once a black dragon falling there, I don't know if it is the Heilongjiang that His Highness said!"

Yu Zhiqian listened to Xu Xiake's little bit of report, and finally nodded, there is no problem with the place, and the legend is the same as the legend in his memory, but now the Northeast is still not a granary in the future but a wild land.

"How's it going over there?"

"Although the weather over there is bad, our people still found a tribe around, and temporarily stayed in that tribe, waiting for follow-up orders!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he nodded, squinted his eyes and began to think, exploring step by step, and now he has taken the first step, and the next step is to continue to move in the direction of Sakhalin Island, slowly establish some small supply bases little by little, and finally find the Bering Strait! ”

"You guys take a rest first, I'm going to recruit another group of people to follow you on, it's spring now, when you return to Heilongjiang, the weather over there will be much better, what you have to do is to explore as much north as possible along the seaside before winter comes, there should be no one around the place you are looking for now, but you will see an east-west strait with ice on it......"

Yu Zhiqian told Xu Xiake some things he knew about the Bering Strait, this road is very difficult to walk, Yu Zhiqian didn't even expect to be able to find this road in his lifetime, but there must always be a pioneer to move forward, step by step to explore forward, at least this is slightly more reliable than studying ships and then forming sails, the shipbuilding technology of the Yu Tang Empire is really too bad.

"Your Highness, I don't need to rest, I just want to go back early and join my friends!"

Xu Xiake looked at Yu Zhiqian, and said slowly, Yu Zhiqian stared at this guy, this guy is really a natural explorer, and shook his head: "You are very tired now and need to rest, and I have a lot of new things appearing in the court recently, I will prepare a little for you and maybe you can use it!" ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

Xu Xiake didn't know what Yu Zhiqian was talking about, but he saluted first.

Although the group of students brought by Yu Zhiqian during this period of time were very unreliable, the hands-on ability of this group of students was cultivated.

Li Bai took the lead, and this group of students began to go further and further on the road of invention and creation.

But it's not useless inventions, and some things are quite useful.

For example, Lu Su, a southerner, can't stand the cold in the north, and he doesn't like the smell of leather clothes when he wears leather clothes.

This leather coat is not a treated leather coat worn by later generations, and the current leather coat is made of animal skin, and it is a garment after cleaning and a little treatment.

Not to mention the thickness of this clothes, after wearing them for a period of time, they will have various flavors, so when Yu Zhiqian asked them to make something, what Lu Su thought about was to make warm clothes.

At that time, when Yu Zhiqian heard that Lu Su was going to make warm clothes, the whole person was stunned for a moment, this difficulty was a bit big.

Yu Zhiqian hasn't found this thing yet, and Yu Zhiqian doesn't know where this thing is, but he has been looking for it, and the characteristics of this thing are relatively obvious, as long as you briefly introduce it, you can remember it.

However, there have been no major clues, and the exploration team sent by Yu Zhiqian not only searched for the American continent, but also searched for various different targets.

For example, in the Middle East, there are a lot of things that the Yutang Empire needs, but because the distance is a bit far, there is not much news for the time being.

However, Lu Su did give Yu Zhiqian a surprise, because this guy actually got the plush thread out.

Yu Zhiqian was shocked at the time, wool seems to need cotton to appear, but this product actually uses silk as a rope, and then cashmere ......

Although it sounds incredible. But this guy has just made it, and someone must help, otherwise this product can't even weave cloth, let alone make clothes.

Yu Zhiqian tried the clothes, and they were indeed warm, but they were relatively expensive to wear, and they were very ugly. . .

Yu Zhiqian is going to prepare a little for the expedition team.

At the same time, someone invented warm boots, of course, the most bizarre are Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Yulin, who made a huge kite.

After listening to Yu Zhiqian's half-baked introduction to buoyancy, these two goods suddenly wanted to go to heaven.

They also listened to Yu Zhiqian's lectures for a while, and they didn't know how much they learned, so they remembered one thing, if the paper kite was big enough, it could drive things to fly.

So these two goods teamed up and spent a lot of money to make a huge paper kite, ready to go to the sky.

However, these two people are afraid of death and dare not try with their lives, so they have been looking for someone, and the two of them have not yet found a suitable candidate.

It's not that the two of them can't find anyone, but the person they find can't fly at all......

Xu Xiake hit the road again, this time with a lot of resources, such as a thick cotton jacket made of pure cashmere, waterproof shoes, and a box made of iron sheets.

That thing is a mobile umbrella made by Fang Yiai.

The reason for the invention of this thing is that it rained at the end of class.

Although Fang Yiai has a carriage, but seeing the crowd running on the street, this thing has a whim, if everyone goes out with this kind of thing, it won't rain.

As for the umbrella, Fang Yiai felt that it was not as good as his own invention, because the umbrella could not wrap the whole body and would be drenched in the rain.

Yu Zhiqian looked at this thing and kept telling himself that there would always be strange things on the way to invention and creation, so he resisted the urge to open this guy's head to see what was inside.

But in terms of practicality alone, the invention of Fang Yiai is really good, you think, on a rainy day, with a big tin can, stand in the rain, even if it is hail, it will be fine.

Yu Zhiqian questioned, after people were too tired with this thing, this product was modified again, and a stool was added to it, which means that if you are tired, you can rest in it.

Now this thing is writing an invention for himself to add a wheel, and is thinking about the same as Yu Zhiqian's tricycle bicycle, in which people can ride.

When he saw this, Yu Zhiqian didn't stop it anymore, maybe this thing can be tinkered with, and the first four-wheeled vehicle of the Yu Tang Empire can be tinkered, even if it is a human-powered four-wheeled vehicle, but it is also a four-wheeled vehicle, right?

As for why he gave this thing to Xu Xiake, Yu Zhiqian felt that if this thing was exploring the path, it might be of some use, and if he encountered a beast, he could also hide inside......

After Xu Xiake left, Yu Zhiqian was going to start getting busy again, first of all, he had to accompany his wife Cheng Xiang, Cheng Xiang's belly was obvious now, but what made Yu Zhiqian more uneasy was that Cheng Xiang, who was pregnant, was still very thin...... Yu Zhiqian was a little worried about the safety of his children.

In addition, the most important thing for Yu Zhiqian now is this year's Enke.

Last year, because of the fraud in the imperial examination, the emperor decreed that this year's Enke was opened, and many candidates who failed last year still stayed in the capital.

The emperor was not in the capital, and the matter of the imperial examination fell on Yu Zhiqian.

There is still half a month before the start of the imperial examination, Yu Zhiqian has not thought about it yet, and the chief examiner has still decided.

"Your Highness, this imperial examination is imminent, have you chosen the chief examiner?"

The two officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials looked at Yu Zhiqian anxiously, there is still half a month to go, not to mention the exam questions now, even the chief examiner has not been decided, which has to make these two officials anxious, if the imperial examination is messed up, their career will basically come to an end.

Yu Zhiqian looked at the anxious officials below, looked at the piece in his hand, and then looked at the anxious officials below, squinting his eyes: "Don't worry, isn't this still half a month..."

"Your Highness, in half a month, the exam questions will be published, the time will be enough, if the exam questions are not published today, maybe this year's scientific examination will be delayed!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he shook his head: "Don't worry, no, the topics of this year's scientific examination will be announced after the exam!" ”

Yu Zhiqian investigated the case of fraud in the scientific examination before, and suddenly discovered a problem, as long as the exam questions are written in advance, there is a risk of leakage, and the safest way is to wait for the exam to start and make the questions by himself, is there still someone stealing the questions from his own head?

ps: Pouting ass and writing it out of the hospital bed...... Alas, it's so tiring, and it's so painful......
