Back in the house, Zhao Yan was pleasantly surprised, "Fourth brother, you can be regarded as back, it has been twenty-six days since the last time you came back, you are too ruthless, and besides, the guards of the barracks are too bad, every time you send you clothes, you are not allowed to go in, you must teach them a good lesson!" ”
"Hmph, sure enough, I have no conscience, it's only a few steps away from home, come back and see if I'll die!?" Qian Duo was yin and yang on the side.
Then Zhao Hui also spoke leisurely, "Fourth brother, you are the crown prince, wouldn't it be good to leave the matter of military training to those generals, look at you, they have all turned black." ”
"Is it dark?" Zhao Mengqi touched his face, "Niang, take a look, is the fourth brother black?" ”
Zhao Yan held his face seriously, looked left and right, "Hehe, the fifth sister lied to you, Xu Niang thinks the fourth brother looks better." ”
Zhao Wei couldn't help but burst a chestnut on Zhao Yan's head, but he didn't use his strength, and said angrily, "Silly Niang ......"
"Hehe, I'm not stupid, but I never lie to the fourth brother!" Zhao Yun leaned on his brother's arms and smiled proudly, "Fourth brother, when you come back this time, you will stay for a few more days." ”
Zhao Mengqi rubbed his sister's head, thought about it for a while, and still didn't plan to lie to her, "Yu Niang, I'm sorry, the fourth brother is going to disappoint you, I will go on a long trip tomorrow, but I will be back soon, will I take you to see the Keju Tournament when the time comes?" ”
"What? Going far away? Where are you going!? I'm going too! Zhao Yan was first surprised, then puzzled, and finally very resolute.
"I'm going too!" Qian Duojiao responded in a voice, and only after saying that she realized that her ears began to have a fever, and forcibly defended herself, "I don't want to follow you, it's... It's too boring to stay in the house! ”
Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but glance at her, "Hehe, when I wasn't in the house, you didn't go out?" What about liars! ”
Qian Duo was so choked that he couldn't answer, but his eyes were very stubborn, and he crossed his waist, "Hmph!" ”
"Fourth brother, you can't leave me." Zhao Hui looked calm.
"What are you making a fuss about!?" Zhao Mengqi was also not angry with her.
Zhao Hui's eyes narrowed, and Zhao Mengqi was determined, "Fourth brother, my father shouldn't know that you are going to go far away, right......?"
, this is the ruthless character!
In the face of absolute power, Zhao Mengqi chose to follow his heart, "Okay, okay, I've served you!" ”
What is this called? It's as if I'm going to send a bridesmaid group to Wanwan.
When you go out in this era, you can't just go, and there are still a lot of things to prepare, so you can only wait until the next day.
Since he returned home, Zhao Mengqi also went to the craftsman by the way.
The carriage has been built in its ninth version, and it has improved more and more each time, but Zhao Mengqi feels that the bogie still needs to be improved, and the shock absorption is still a little bit more interesting.
After the trial, I made a few suggestions, and when I saw that the wheels had not changed, I couldn't help but ask again, "Hasn't the eucommia gum been made yet?" ”
Craftsman Xu, who was in charge of researching Eucommia ulmoides gum, was ashamed, "Your Highness, I searched all the pharmacies in Lin'an, although I found a lot of glue made from Eucommia, but they are all hard and easy to break, and they can become soft when heated, but they are cold and hard, and I can't make the tire you said." ”
After speaking, he took a yellow amber-shaped hard lump and handed it to Zhao Mengqi.
"This is Eucommia gum?" Zhao Mengqi looked at it, and it felt a bit like pine resin, which was indeed very hard.
"No, I remember that this is very similar to rubber, wait, vulcanization! Vulcanization...... Yes, yes, yes, you try to add sulfur to boil, if it doesn't work, add sulfur when the raw rubber is boiled, the method of experimental comparison, I have also told you before, try more, don't be afraid to spend money! ”
The reason why Zhao Mengqi is willing to engage in this eucommia gum at any cost is not only for the wheel, the meaning of rubber, which later generations understand, but now the rubber tree is still far away in the Americas, but this eucommia is not uncommon in China, and it has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for a long time.
Without chemical extraction, the yield is naturally very low, but it is better to solve the problem of whether there is any, I believe that with the wisdom of the Chinese people, as long as the direction is pointed out, there will be a way to solve the problem step by step.
That's right, chemistry!
Aren't the Taoist priests of these years just playing chemistry?
Instead of letting them do alchemy and harm others and themselves, it is better to catch them and dedicate themselves to science!
Zhao Mengqi has just finished dealing with the monk and started again (this chapter is not finished!) )

I'm ready to stretch out my black hand to the immortals.
After watching the carriage, I went on to look at others, such as distilled spirits, white sugar, and purified salt, which have been relatively successful, and are now studying the process of large-scale production.
In addition, coking coal, bone china, and cement have also been basically successful, but the quality does not meet Zhao Mengqi's requirements, and efforts need to be improved.
The rest of the other projects are more or less eyebrow-raising, and Zhao Mengqi did not urge, after all, before there is no theoretical basis, relying on the test method alone is still more lucky.
As for gunpowder, there is no need to try this, because Zhao Mengqi remembers the best formula, but the purity of the raw materials in this era is not high, and the effect is still a little deviated, but the problem is not big.
There is another thing that is more unexpected by Zhao Mengqi, Jia Ji, this kid seems to really like to engage in science, and he is not interested in a certain subject, but he has come into contact with each category, and earnestly and sincerely learns from the old craftsmen.
Overall, Zhao Mengqi is still quite satisfied, although the money spent is really a lot, and in two months, 300,000 yuan has been burned, but he thinks it is worth it.
When he returned to the back house, he found that the three girls had packed a lot of luggage.
Zhao Hui is the most exaggerated, with six cages, which are enough to be pulled by two ox carts.
Qian Duo is slightly less, that is, slightly, five and a half boxes, and there is a smaller one, which is half for her......
Zhao Yan's box is not much, just two, but there are still a lot of pets!
Not to mention cats and dogs, there is also a starling, a pair of small turtles, koi fish kept in a porcelain jar, rabbits, crickets......
"You guys! Is this a move!? One! You only need to bring one per person! Zhao Mengqi had to keep a straight face, "Don't forget, this time you don't bring a maid!" ”
The three little ladies immediately jumped to their feet, coquettishly coquettish, scolded and scolded, and threatened to threaten, each using their own means to intensively bombard Zhao Mengqi.
Although the hero may not be sad about the beauty pass, the man really can't bear the woman he is close to, and there are still three!
Compromise, Zhao Mengqi made another humiliating compromise, the limit was doubled, and two per person were allowed.
When it was evening, Gu Qing still sent Hou Tao over.
"Your Highness, I would like to mention that if you decide to go to Wujiang, let me accompany you, first, to protect your safety, and secondly, it will be more convenient in case you need anything."
"Okay, but only you can follow me, the others, just with Chang Geng's East Fifth Class."
Zhao Mengqi did not refuse this, and there must be security guarantees.
The fifth class in the east is the front of the palace, there are more than 400 people, responsible for the guards of the Yanwang Mansion, and this trip will be followed by Chang Geng with a hundred people in casual clothes.
Originally, Huang Zhi also strongly asked to accompany him, but Zhao Mengqi resolutely refused and asked him to stay in the palace, so he stuffed Chongtai Doctor to Zhao Mengqi's side.
Early the next morning, Zhao Mengqi and his entourage of 20 people came to the canal two miles north of the palace, boarded an arranged official ship, and marched through the canal to the Wujiang River.
p. Thank you for your encouragement and support, I saw your message, thank you very much, about the update, I will do my best, but my level is not enough, the speed of the code word is the same as that of a snail, I am ashamed.
In short, I try! Thank you.
