A few days later, when Prince Xin was on the road, he took Yan Shidi back with him.

Yan Shidi is becoming more and more calm now, but after all, it is the first time he has gone far away, and his family is not at ease, so he has been admonished for a long time.

After two more days, Yan Yunwu also set off with people, although he was young, he was not a person who had never done things, and he was very calm. Huo Qijing gave him personal assistance again, and the eunuchs in the palace also followed, and they would come back after the pearl factory was first built.

Of course, he also followed the shipbuilding team sent by Yan Shiyue.

Yan Shiyue took the people from the Ministry of Commerce Workshop and set out to make a compass and a sextant. These two can be said to be the basic equipment of navigation.

Needless to say, what is a compass, what is a sextant?

It can be used to measure the angle between two distant targets, and the most commonly used is to measure the angle between the sun and the horizon, or the horizon, and then you can calculate the position of the ship.

The sextant is a fan-shaped instrument consisting of a small telescope, a translucent and semi-reflective fixed plane mirror, that is, a horizon mirror, and an active mirror linked to the indicator, that is, the indicator mirror. It's not that complicated.

When the sextant was first built, the largest measurement angle was 90 degrees, which was called an octane at that time, and later improved to 120 degrees, which was the sextant she was going to make.

In addition, she plans to leave more rubber next year, build some lifebuoys, small kayaks, should be a little better than the Song Dynasty's "floating ring", but not much, one person is definitely not enough, just emergency.

was busy, Emperor Ming Yan sent someone to summon him.

Yan Shiyue entered the palace, and when he arrived at the imperial study first, he saw the prince setting up a table under the imperial case in the imperial study, and he was approving the folds. Emperor Ming Yan was not there.

In the past two years, Emperor Ming Yan often took the prince in the study to discuss with the courtiers.

Yan Shiyue looked at him: "Brother, where is Aye?" ”

The prince was speechless by her sympathetic eyes, and said, "It should be in the Ronghua Palace." ”

Yan Shiyue passed.

Emperor Ming Yan was really there, and as soon as he saw her going, he asked someone to come out with an apple, and said with a smile: "Yue'er, look." ”

Yan Shiyue glanced at it and saw a slightly dry apple on the tray. The main thing is that the current local apples, which are not big in size, look particularly ugly when they do it, and have a word very similar to "Fu" on it.

Emperor Ming Yan has never paid much attention to auspiciousness, but this word is too clear.

He said with great interest: "This is a naturally formed word that comes up from below, and it can also be a good omen." ”

Yan Shiyue just looked at him like this.

Emperor Ming Yan quickly understood, waved his hand to let people take the apple down, and said, "Huh? ”

Yan Shiyue grinned and said: "Aya, just say, what words do you want, wait for my daughter to get it for you when she comes back, or I'll get a few more, make up a discourse, college or something?" ”

Emperor Ming Yan: "......"

He glared at her unhappily: "I'll talk about it later, and you can get it when I want it!" ”

Yan Shiyue responded with a grin, and Emperor Ming Yan sat down after returning to the imperial case, and said, "I am preparing to tour the south next month, you are ready to prepare." ”

Yan Shiyue smiled.

Southern Tour? Of course she wanted to go in normal times, but now ...... Two kittens can be carried, but the four kittens are just over two years old......

Emperor Ming Yan said: "If you don't worry, just take it with you." ”

Yan Shiyue asked, "Who is going?" ”

Emperor Ming Yan said with a smile: "This time, I will only take your aunt and the two of you, and our family of four will go out to have fun and relax." ”

Got it. So the prince and four, five, seven, eight, ninety don't go?

Oh yes, there are no Eight Princes anymore.

The eighth prince "died" due to "excessive grief" on the second day of the queen mother's hanging, and then was secretly sent out of the palace, and he had a new identity.

Compared with the three princes who were renamed Yan Si, I don't know who is in a better situation.

Yan Shiyue said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with Ah Jing." ”

So when I returned home, we began to discuss.

Not only children, but also adults should discuss who goes and who doesn't.

You know, the southern tour is not as good as going to the palace. Going to the palace is tantamount to moving the entire political center over, but the southern tour, leaving the prince in charge of the country, Emperor Ming Yan will still approve and fold, but most of the affairs will be left to the prince to deal with.

In the end, after discussion, this time only the dumplings and rice cakes were brought, and the four small ones were not brought, so the adults took Xu Wenqu, Qu Sinian, and the Ministry of Commerce to Han Qi and Ren Zenan, and took Zhou Jianwei away.

Then Huo Qiyang said to her: "Sister, please ask the emperor to leave Shang Fang's sword at home." ”

Yan Shiyue can also think about it.

It stands to reason that the four little ones only stayed, with the prince taking care of them, and Huo Qiyang and Su Ji at home, which were originally foolproof, and others would not come to provoke them unless they were stupid.

But, if you're afraid, you're afraid, it's really stupid!

Therefore, it is better to leave the sword of Shang Fang, which can be cut first and then played, and it is foolproof.

Yan Shiyue told Emperor Ming Yan the next day, and Emperor Ming Yan agreed.

However, this is not just a matter of leaving, and preparations are still needed, and the tentative schedule is to leave on the 16th of next month.

Before leaving, Emperor Ming Yan summoned the crown prince and said to him: "After I go out this time, unless it is really a major matter that cannot be decided, there is no need to report it to me, you can discuss it with the cabinet." ”

The crown prince was slightly stunned: "Father? ”

Emperor Ming Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Zuo'er, I'm old...... I want to take a good look at my country. ”

Emperor Ming Yan hadn't called his name for a long time, and when the prince heard what he meant, his eyes couldn't help but be slightly sour, and he knelt down: "Aya." He paused and said in a low voice: "My son must guard this country for his father." ”

After finishing speaking, the prince retreated, and suddenly felt that what he said was inappropriate.

Emperor Ming Yan just expressed this meaning, and didn't say anything clearly, he couldn't wait to say such a sentence...... Isn't it too unfilial? He should have said that he was not yet grown up, and he still needed his father's guidance!

After all, I was in a hurry.

It's been more than ten years, and when it comes to the last step, he is still in a hurry after all.

The prince was very annoyed, thought about it repeatedly, and finally quietly came over to find Yan Shiyue.

Although Yan Shiyue felt that she had to think about it repeatedly when she said a word, it was a big deal to have more power, and she thought about it seriously: "Haven't you seen the form of our Ministry of Commerce before?" I think you will be the same in the future, do not report the fold, list the grid, the place, the person who folds up, classify, and then explain it in one sentence. ”

The prince's eyes lit up.

That's right! It is useless for him to rush to seize power, he must show loyalty. But if you still send all the excerpts over, what if Emperor Ming Yan really doesn't want to care? Do you really want to take a vacation? That's not good, and it's hypocritical to set aside too much.

It's better to follow what Yue'er said, Emperor Ming Yan saves effort and controls the overall situation.

The prince smiled: "Thank you Yue'er." ”

Yan Shiyue said: "Thank you, I'm not in the capital, just help me take care of my four kittens." ”

The prince said: "Don't worry. ”
