Hot air balloons are probably the simplest means of flying, but it is not easy to do, balloons can be made of silk, in fact, the top silk of the Ming Dynasty is no worse than later generations, strong and dense enough, able to hold the rising heat.

As for the fire cloth, it is placed at the heating port, surrounded by a circle to prevent the flame from burning the silk, the burner is made of fine iron, and the fuel is not difficult for Tang Yi, although there is no kerosene, but it can be replaced by whale oil.

The rest is the hanging basket, which needs to be woven with rattan, light and strong, and can act as a shock absorber.

However, everything is easier said than done, and the reason why Huang Jin failed was that he ignored very simple things, such as sandbags with counterweights on the outside of the gondola, and the heating device should be strong and reliable to prevent dumping, and the airbag should be large enough to provide sufficient buoyancy.

Tang Yi spent almost a night to get the design drawings ready, and immediately ordered people to purchase materials, find skilled craftsmen, and quickly make them.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and a lot of silver is sprinkled down, Tang Yi found the personnel in half a day, the materials were prepared, and the nervous production project began, Tang Yi personally supervised the work, and also notified Zhu Xizhong, asking him to transfer all the craftsmen's to Tang Yi's name and become his domestic servants.

Although Tang Yi doesn't like this kind of big business, who makes the technology of the hot air balloon important, this is the only patent that Tang Yi can get his hands on so far!

For these craftsmen, it makes no difference who they work for, and Tang Yi is very polite to everyone, eat well, give a lot, what luxury is there!

The craftsmen worked hard, and the progress was very fast, but Tang Yi turned around again with his hands behind his back, it stands to reason that don't care more carefully, a new thing comes out. There will always be unimaginable dangers. Replaced by ordinary people, sacrifice for science is enough, the problem is that the one who wants to ride the hot air balloon is the supreme of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing, if he makes a little mistake, then the sin will be great!

What to do?

Tang Yi suddenly had an idea. If you attach a few long ropes to the balloon and tie it to the ground, like a kite, you won't be afraid of drifting out of the way.

For Jiajing, being able to reach a height of dozens of feet and look down on the capital is also an unprecedented experience, what luxury does he have.

That's it. Tang Yi carefully prepared this gift for Jiajing, what he didn't know was that Yan Dang had already shown his sword to him!

……

Yan Shifan jumped like thunder, barefoot, and smashed everything that could be smashed in the house.

He thought that pushing Tang Shen to the position of governor of Zhejiang would definitely arouse Jiajing's suspicion, and the beauty of opening the sea in the southeast would fall into his hands, so he even did not hesitate to sacrifice Zhao Wenhua, a heavenly official of the ministry.

It was just beyond his expectations. Tang Yi didn't know if he really noticed it, or if he was stupid and cute. actually proposed to put the city in Quanzhou, which is good, and Jiajing's trust in him suddenly reached an unrepeatable level.

Tang Yi took over the prefect of Quanzhou and presided over the opening of the sea, which has become inevitable.

Although Zhao Wenhua still has the position of admiral in the southeast, he is nominally Tang Yi's boss. But without Jiajing's will, Zhao Wenhua is equivalent to abandoning half of his martial arts, and if he wants to fight with Tang Yi and those behind Tang Yi, there is really not much chance of winning. Not to mention snatching the city division into your hands.

Think carefully. Not only did he not get a bargain, but he also lost a secretary of the ministry, only in exchange for a southeast governor, and the gains and losses are self-evident.

What's even worse is that there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials, Xu Jie's is active operation, and he wants to snatch the Ministry of Officials into his hands, how can Yan Shifan sit back and watch the personnel power fall, he must fight back.

Fortunately, the Yan Party has many minions, so it will not be defeated or lost, but Yan Shifan's fear of Tang Yi has become more and more deep.

If this kid really succeeds in opening the sea, he will inevitably occupy an unshakable position in Jiajing's heart, and at that time, Yan Dang's ancestral grave will be cut in half by him, how can you say that Yan Shifan is not angry!

But when he is angry, it is not so easy to move Tang Yi, without a suitable charge, he will only be disgraced by him, lose points in vain, and it is useless at all.

Yan Shifan was wandering back and forth in the study, when suddenly someone knocked on the door and a smiling face came in.

"Hey, Xiao Ge Lao, what are you doing here, what a good thing has been smashed?"

Yan Shifan raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "What little pavilion elder, does my Ming Dynasty have the official position of small pavilion elder?" ”

The person who came grinned and said: "Xiao Ge Lao, don't be angry, I have good news to tell Donglou Gong, you listen to it, and I promise to be happy." ”

Yan Shifan took a deep breath, "Don't roll in yet." ”

"Yes."

The person who came cautiously avoided the debris all over the ground, and when he reached Yan Shifan's ear, he whispered a few words, Yan Shifan's suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, he was excited, and finally he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Okay, I'll just say, how can Tang Yi's little rabbit cub do the matter of opening the sea so well, dare to have another mystery!" Yan Shifan gritted his teeth, but there was still a trace of doubt.

"Wan Yu, are you serious? You know, he's still involved! Yan Shifan stretched out his thumb and little thumb and gestured a "six", and the person he said was Lu Bing, the governor of Jinyiwei.

"Hehe, it's because of this that the little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense, do you know the so-called Tianjin Mutiny? In fact, it was not like that, it was the people from the Wenxiang Sect who made trouble with Lu Bing, and Lu Bing couldn't settle them, so he found Tang Yi over. When Tang Yi arrived in Tianjin, he threw a lot of silver, and he also caught Wang Sen, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect. Later, he secretly released Wang Sen, and most of the people who worked at the wharf in Tianjin were members of the Wenxiang Sect, and Tang Yi colluded with the Wenxiang Sect and couldn't escape! ”

"Hmm!"

Yan Shifan nodded vigorously, "It's really good, colluding with demons and deceiving the saint, these two items alone are enough to ask for his head!" By the way, it's not just him, but also Lu Bing, and that Wang Chen, Lao Tzu is going to stew them with a spoonful! ”

Yan Shifan grabbed Wan Yu's chest and said viciously: "As long as you get things done, Dali Siqing is yours, and you will have a share of the six departments in the future!" ”

"Yes, you see!"

Wan Yu usually does not have close contacts with the Yan Party, and his official reputation is not bad, he has always been regarded as a neutral official, but there is a time when the skin will finally be revealed. In order to deal with Tang Yi, he took off his mask and launched a ferocious offensive.

Overnight, Wan Yu carefully concocted an impeachment note.

He listed three major crimes against Tang Yi, the first said that he had privately mobilized Ma Fang's subordinates; the second, it is said that Tang Yi privately released Wang Sen, the leader of the Smelling Fragrance Sect; The third is to connive at the smell of incense and control Tianjin. It is called the success of opening the sea, but in fact, it has left endless troubles, scourging the community and threatening the Jingshi.

These three crimes, one is more ruthless than the other, Wenchen and Bian Jiang have made friends, which means that you have a heart of disobedience, even if you are as strong as Shoufu Xia Yan, you can't bear it. As for collusion with bandits, it is even more terrible.

The Ming Dynasty relied on the Ming Sect to start, turned around to all kinds of gangs, the strictest guards, from the Zhu Di period, there was the famous White Lotus Sect Tang Sai'er uprising, since then the White Lotus Sect has been in turmoil. Tang Yi, as a Hanlin Qingliu, is involved with the Wenxiang Sect. What do you want? It's not about usurping the Ming Dynasty.

As for the third one, it poked Jiajing's lung tube. Tang Yi successfully opened the sea, and gold and silver continued to come, Jiajing praised him and promoted him.

However, if this silver was not earned by Tang Yi, but by smelling incense and teaching alms. Does Jiajing still have a face flower?

In addition, the people of the Wenxiang Sect went to Tianjin to work as workers, and the distance between Tianjin and Jingshi was less than 300 miles. Didn't you kill the capital and rob the Jinluan Palace!

Is this worth it?

After Yan Shifan finished reading it, he polished Wan Yu again, and then took advantage of Yuan Heng's duty to send him up. Yan Shifan also knew that Huang Jin and Tang Yi were wearing a pair of pants, and if Huang Jin knew, he might not be able to take Tang Yi.

Sure enough, according to his expectations, this recital was sent up, and after Jiajing read it, he almost fainted.

The courtiers he trusted, appreciated, and promoted the most were so rampant and bold, and regarded him as Emperor Jiajing, and the border generals, civil ministers, and sects, the three parties joined forces!

What is called Tianjin Kaihai, it is simply a fig leaf for cultivating strength!

"Yes, it's really good, it's amazing to play with me in applause!" Jiajing shouted angrily, "Catch, hurry up and catch that little beast for me!" ”

Yuan Heng suppressed his joy and said, "Please rest assured, the slave and maid are going to arrest people." ”

Lighting up the fan of Dongchang, Yuan Heng hurried towards Tang Yi's mansion.

At this time, Tang Yi just finished making the hot air balloon, he pondered that he would get it outside the city first, and after the experiment was successful, he would send it to Jiajing and experiment in the city, after all, it was too eye-catching, and it would be bad to cause trouble.

After washing the stains on his hands, changing into a cotton robe, and making a pot of tea, Tang Yi was ready to treat himself.

I had just taken two sips when suddenly the door was slammed open and a man stumbled in.

"Master Tang, you still have the heart to drink tea! The head is gone! ”

Tang Yi hurriedly looked, and the person who came was Tang Ruji.

"Little Fisherman, what happened?"

Tang Ruji panted and said: "I can't say three sentences or two sentences, I went to Yan's Mansion today, and it happened that Wan Yu and Yan Shifan talked about impeaching you, saying that you had an affair with the Wenxiang Sect!" Tang Ruji said with regret: "Lord Tang, how can you make such a mistake!" One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and those demons are involved, can there still be a good end? I advise you to flee quickly, I can't stay longer, take my leave. ”

Tang Ruji ran outside in a panic, but Tang Yi stopped him.

"Brother Xiaoyu, you can come and tell me the news, Tang Yi will always remember your favor, but don't worry, they can't touch me. Let's go, follow me to the back to see a good thing! ”

Tang Ruji was suspicious, Tang Yi pulled his arm, couldn't help but say, and ran to the backyard......

"Rush, rush in for our house!"

Dongchang's fan was like a wolf and a tiger, and he slammed open the door of the Tang Mansion, Yuan Heng took the lead and rushed into the hall, surprisingly there was no one in the mansion.

"Search, search carefully for our family." Yuan Heng roared hoarsely, and suddenly he felt that the followers raised their heads, staring blankly at the sky, and Yuan Heng's nose was crooked.

"I don't know if you arrest people!"

Just as Yuan Heng was shouting, he heard an ethereal voice from the sky, "Gonggong Yuan, this god is here, and he still kneels!! (To be continued.) )

PS: I went to the hospital in the afternoon, but fortunately, there was nothing serious, I could hold on, and I had to keep it updated when I died at the end of the month!!
