Chapter Fifty-Six: Wonderful Tools

Since the flowers in the pot began to sprout, Li Lizhi has carried her flower pot with her and cared for it carefully.

She loves flower pots more than lifeless wood carving toys.

All three seeds had sprouted, and she was now worried about which flower to keep.

In spring, it is the time when the flowers on the streets of Chang'an are in full bloom, and all kinds of flowers on the trees are vibrant, but they are not as good as the flower pots in her hands, so she cares for them.

The pots she takes care of are like her children.

"Sister Jingjing gave us some wood carving toys, I have a boat, as long as I pick the pedals, I can move forward.

But you have to catch a little squirrel and step on it. ”

Li Lizhi showed her boat, and she thought that her boat was much more fun than her brother's windmill.

"I get a windmill, and when the wind blows the blades on it, it will drive the mechanism and make the pole below start to run.

In the fields, I saw a waterwheel, which is a tool for moving water from a low place up. The amount of water will not be very large.

She said that if she was given time, she would erect a new waterwheel and place it near the water, so that it would be easier to get water for irrigation. ”

Empress Eldest Sun flicked her fingers on the surface of the leaves, and when she saw a stick underneath, she began to spin with it.

Li Chengqian made a mistake of being a good teacher, and he also wanted to show it in front of his mother:

"The windmill will rotate with the wind, I think it's the most fun, it's much more fun than Sister Li's pedal boat, and Yingxiu's wooden mill. By the way, she also helped us make wooden hairpins.

But I don't think the craftsmen in the palace do it well.

Mother, let's go find a windy place, and I'll let you see the windmill turning.

When the windmill blows the windmill, I always feel that there is a big truth in it. ”

Empress Changsun followed Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi to a windy place to see the windmill spinning in the wind.

The attached wooden sticks also began to move in a circular motion.

Seeing Empress Changsun's gaze on the wooden stick, Li Chengqian waited for Empress Changsun to ask him questions.

Li Chengqian was ready to put on a good show, and he thought that this kind of automatic movement propelled by the wind would definitely be used to do a lot of things. And it's not labor-intensive.

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at her son's eager expression, and immediately knew that her son was not so stupid, and he was suggesting something to her.

She can't control the big things in the court, but some small things are within her jurisdiction, the young eunuch, in addition to listening to the emperor, occasionally listens to the words of the harem, especially in agricultural affairs, she can handle it.

"If there is anything between our mother and son, just say it directly, why bother to tell me like this?"

"Mother, do you see it?"

"I can see that you want to promote the windmill, but you know that the windmill that Fan Jingjing gave you is an unfinished product. On the contrary, it is not as good as your sister's pedal boat, as long as you zoom in, you can use it. If the two can be combined, it is estimated that it will be more useful.

Perhaps, she made a wooden mill for Niu Yingxiu, and she can also work together! But she doesn't tell you the answer, she wants you to think about it. ”

"Sister Jingjing said that seeing is believing, and only by letting people see the function of the windmill can people believe what it can do?"

"She asked you to bring the windmill?"

"No, she didn't ask me to show the windmill to my mother. It's that I think there are good things that should be shown to my mother.

She said that the things she was doing now were all things she had seen in the Water Cloud Palace.

Some of them we may have, not unusual.

Some of them may seem strange to us, but they are all items that are used to facilitate life.

But she doesn't know everything, she just knows that these things are very useful. ”

"The windmill can turn this wheel wheel instead of the waterwheel to grind the dough, which is a way to complete a more detailed dough and save more manpower."

Empress Eldest Sun did not hesitate and directly said the possible functions.

She said that the people of Shuiyun Palace did not work so hard to farm, and many times they replaced manpower with machines.

It's a pity that she doesn't know how many things are made, only the appearance.

So in fact, she can only provide appearances, some can provide simple ways to make them, but in fact, if you want to put it into practice, then you have to go further, and she can't do it alone.

She thinks that if I have nothing to do, I might as well study these things more, and I won't always think about some crooked things in my head.

Then again, I can't think of some crooked things in my head, she is simply slandering. ”

Li Lizhen is also a smart person, but she knows that when his brother is talking, she had better not speak.

Her brother will be an important big figure in the court in the future, so he has a high right to speak.

But she also said that the things she gave me were all gadgets, specific and subtle.

If you really want to use it, you must let the people of the young government eunuch do it, and if these things are of the right size, they must be very useful things.

Unfortunately, no matter how much we pleaded, she said that all she could do was make a sample in two or three days, and she still had to grow potatoes, so she couldn't be busy making these strange and ingenious things all day.

She simply uses our people to do things for her. ”

"Her reward for you is not small!"

Empress Changsun is still playing with the windmill in her hand.

"She has planted not only potatoes, but also a lot of things, and now she has prepared a lot of wooden pots for seedlings, and some of them have already grown.

By the way, she asked us to bring showers when we went, and that was really a good thing, and we should make more of them. ”
