Chapter 193: Surprise and Surprise

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi and Chun Xing were both surprised.

In their eyes, the prince is a busy man, and he actually remembers a good birthday?

Surprised to surprised, Jiang Shishi still followed Huang Dechang to the front yard.

When she arrived at the gate of the front yard, Chunxing helped her sweep the snow on her shoulders and untied her cloak.

Standing at the door, Jiang Shishi smelled the aroma of food.

When she entered the hall, she saw a table full of delicacies on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall.

And the crown prince was sitting next to him, as if waiting for her.

"Your Highness." Jiang Shishi bowed.

Pei Xuanling grabbed the woman and pulled her to sit down at the table.

Jiang Shishi glanced at the food on the table, all of which she loved to eat, and the dishes were extensive.

Like what... There are palace delicacies such as braised tenderloin, spicy belly shreds, golden silk crisps, fried senbei on strings, and fried beef tenderloin with green onions.

There are also spicy grilled fish, pickled pepper chicken feet, hot and sour chicken and other later delicacies.

There is even a large bone broth stewed with salt and pepper prawns and lotus root that Jiang Shishi is going to make in the imperial dining room tonight.

Jiang Shishi looked at the prince with surprise and amazement.

How would he know what she likes to eat?

"Your Royal Highness, the concubine and Chunxing just said that they were going to eat lotus root stewed bone broth tonight, as well as salt and pepper prawns, why did you let people do this?"

"Haven't you always liked salt and pepper prawns?" Pei Xuanling often eats in Shiyue Pavilion, and has a little understanding of her preferences, "In addition, it has been cold recently, and I heard that you like to drink soup every day to warm your body." ”

"You know all this...... Jiang Shishi smiled and asked instead: "Hey, do the minions in your yard also make grilled fish and pickled pepper and phoenix feet?" ”

Huang Dechang: "Jiang Liangdi doesn't know that the slave in the front yard once went to Shiyue Pavilion to cook and learned a few dishes from Miss Chunxing. ”

Jiang Shishi nodded, I see.

At dinner that night, Jiang Shishi ate very happily.

Seeing that the woman opposite was eating happily, Pei Xuanling also ate more food than usual.

Half an hour later, Pei Xuanling put down the dishes and chopsticks first, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief gently.

And the woman opposite him was willing to put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating for more than half an hour.

Jiang Shishi wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Your Highness, tonight's meal is so delicious, I feel that I am full, but my mouth still wants to eat ......"

"......" the corners of Pei Xuanling's mouth twitched slightly, "It's not good to eat too much at night." ”

Inevitably, the woman was overwhelmed, so Pei Xuanling summoned the palace maid and eunuch to clean up the table and take all the meals away.

Now it's cold outside, and I can't go out for a walk to eat.

After dinner, Pei Xuanling went to the study to review the official documents.

Jiang Shishi only sat on the side to help the prince grind, which can be regarded as a way to eliminate food.

She saw that the crown prince frowned slightly when he reviewed the official document, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything worrying Your Highness?" ”

Pei Xuanling told the woman about the war in the west, the soldiers had no food to eat, and the Ministry of Industry planned to Tuntian.

Jiang Shishi: "......"

She heard that the prince had recently taken over the Ministry of Works, and Tuntian should be an important task after the prince took over the Ministry of Works.

In addition, she thought of fighting her second brother Jiang Yongjie in the western border pass.

For example, if it is freezing today, Jiang Yongjie not only has to fight, but also has not enough to eat, so how much he will suffer.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shishi's face wrinkled together.

She stopped grinding, asked the prince for a wolf pen and a few pieces of rice paper, and began to write and draw.

After about a stick of incense, she drew a pattern and wrote on each piece of paper.

After the drawing, she put down the wolf pen, checked it carefully, and confirmed that there was no problem, so she handed the rice paper to the prince.

Pei Xuanling glanced at the rice paper handed by the woman, on which there were drawings and words, like a craftsman's drawing.

Recently, after taking over the handicraft department, he has seen many such artworks.

Pei Xuanling: "What are you painting?" ”

"The concubine's drawings are all drawings of farm tools." Jiang Shishi put the artwork in front of the prince, "I heard from His Royal Highness that the soldiers in the west are short of food, and the concubine thinks they are pitiful, and the second brother, he is so pitiful." ”

"Lone told you about the troubles of official business, but you feel pitiful to others?"

Facing the torture of the prince's soul, Jiang Shishi was slightly stunned, "And Your Highness, you work hard every day, and you have endless troubles, and it's pitiful." ”

"Lone doesn't need your pity." Pei Xuanling lowered his eyes and looked at the artworks.

"......" Jiang Shishi saw that the prince's face was wrong, and changed her words in time, "You are not pitiful, but the concubine is very distressed when she sees you so tired, and the concubine can't help you in the court." ”

"I heard that you are going to let the western tuntian, but the concubine knows a few farm tools that are conducive to agriculture, you can ask the Ministry of Industry to try to make some."

"......" Pei Xuanling looked at the artwork and was fascinated.

Jiang Liangdi drew a total of three artworks, one of which is a keel waterwheel.

Its structure is made of wooden planks as a groove, the tail is immersed in the water flow, and there are small axles.

There are also small axles at the other end, which are fixed to the wooden frame of the embankment.

When you step on the crutch, the big axle rotates, and the leaves in the trough are driven to scrape the water and pour it into the higher ground.

And it has three structures, which can not only use the water to turn the keel car powered by flowing water, but also use human or animal power to drive the wooden chain to turn over and over again, and can also use wind power to turn the overturn.

If there is such a waterwheel, it can greatly solve the problem of drainage and irrigation during farming.

In addition to the keel waterwheel, there is also a curved plow.

It is different from the plough of the Eastern Liang Kingdom, which is a straight and long plow, and it is a curved and short plow.

And the plow tray that can rotate freely is installed at the head of the wheel, so that not only the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, but also is convenient for turning and turning, and the operation is flexible, saving manpower and livestock.

The last piece of paper is a wheat harvesting tool called a plunder.

It is composed of bamboo weaving, rope, blade and handle, and is shaped like a large dustpan, except that there is a sharp blade more than two feet long at the mouth of the dustpan, which cuts much faster than a sickle.

The pictures and texts on the woman's drawings have been written very clearly, Pei Xuanling thinks that these farm tools are feasible, "These farm tools you painted are good, tomorrow I will let the Ministry of Industry do some trying, if it is possible, let the Ministry of Household approve the money, and the Ministry of Industry will produce a large number of them." ”

Jiang Shishi: "Your Highness, the concubine has a request..."

Pei Xuanling: "Say." ”

Jiang Shishi: "It's just... Can you not say that this farm tool artwork is painted by a concubine? ”

If it weren't for her identity as a book, she had learned all this knowledge from later generations, otherwise how could she know this?

Moreover, in the Eastern Liang Kingdom, a woman who knows too much is never a good thing for her.

The prince trusts her, and he can ask her too much every time.

But what about Emperor Jianyuan and those ministers, she came up with a good way that the ministers couldn't think of, just thinking about it, she knew that there would be trouble.

Pei Xuanling looked up at the woman, probably knowing what she was worried about, "Lone can help you hide it, it's just that this artwork is what you came up with, and you have to find someone to help you replace your fame." ”

Jiang Shishi thought for a while, "It's better to... Just say you came up with it? ”

If this is replaced by someone else, I hope to replace this credit in vain.

But Pei Xuanling shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate." ”

Jiang Shishi: "That can't be cheaper for others." ”

Pei Xuanling: "So you want to be cheap and lonely?" ”

"You're none other than you."

"Who are you?"

"You're your own person."

"......" Pei Xuanling suddenly didn't want to speak.

After a long while, he said: "It's better to be like this, let's just say that your eldest brother Jiang Chongjin came up with it, and Jiang Chongjin will have a meritorious service at that time, and you, as a member of the Jiang family, will also benefit you." ”

Jiang Shishi saw that the prince was not a person who liked to take advantage, and he was really thinking about her, "But my eldest brother is a tough temper, and I don't know if he is willing to replace this fame." ”

Before she gave Jiang Chongjin silver, Jiang Chongjin said that he didn't want to eat his sister's soft rice, and resolutely refused to ask for it.

This time, the fame fell from heaven and smashed Jiang Chongjin's head, and Jiang Chongjin would not want it.

Alas, there are honest people around me, and it's hard to find them to take the credit!

Pei Xuanling: "Your brother's side, Lone will persuade him." ”

Jiang Shishi especially believes in the prince, since the prince has said so, she believes that he has this ability.

The two discussed the matter of farm tools, and Pei Xuanling reviewed the official document for half an hour, then got up and walked to the inner room, "It's not too early, let's settle it." ”

Jiang Shishi followed the prince into the inner room and waited for the prince to change clothes and wash.

After the prince washed, he did not rest immediately, but sat on the bedside and read.

After serving the prince, Jiang Shishi changed her clothes and washed under the service of Chunxing.

When Jiang Shishi changed into her bedding clothes and sat down on the edge of the bed, the prince on the bed suddenly handed her a gilded enamel gift box from the quilt.

Jiang Shishi looked at the box and was slightly surprised, "What is this?" ”

Pei Xuanling pushed the box in front of the woman, "Your birthday gift." ”

Yes? Jiang Shishi thought that the food on that table was the birthday gift prepared by the prince for her.

Unexpectedly, there are other gifts?
