Perhaps because he left the boundary of the capital, Yongzheng had a rare night's sleep.

But even if he didn't have to go to court early, his regular living habits still made him wake up before dawn.

Outside the cabin, you can see the stars in the sky reflected in the sparkling waves of the river.

It's really a boat full of dreams and a galaxy.

Su Peisheng saw that he was awake, and hurriedly came over to serve, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao specially ordered her yesterday, and now she is not going to court, and the servants are not allowed to call up, so you can rest for a while." ”

"She likes to sleep lazily, but don't take me with her," Yongzheng also joked: "Go and wake her up, it's time to say goodbye." ”

Su Peisheng's face wrinkled with laughter: "Then the slave really went?" ”

He didn't move a step at all.

Yongzheng scolded with a smile, remembering the tragic situation of Nian Qianyao yesterday: "Did Nian Qianyao ask the imperial doctor to see it later?" ”

This time, he came out with a total of four imperial doctors, all on this ship.

Please didn't invite Su Peisheng to naturally count: "No." The doctors were all in the house yesterday. It is said that Imperial Physician Liu found a set of medical books in the medicine box, I don't know who brought it out, it is very interesting, and several other adults are also together, and they have studied for most of the night for half the night. ”

Yongzheng knew in his heart, knowing that most of it was Chi Xia who quietly stuffed it after reading it: "Tell them to go to Nian Qianyao today to take a look." Let's go out for a walk. ”

The boat happened to pass by a county seat, and there was a morning market next to the canal.

The sound of selling and noise is faint, mixed with the occasional clatter of fish jumping out of the water, and it is very lively.

There are also many children who see the big boat passing by and come to watch, and some little babies were almost squeezed into the water and were fished back by their own adults.

Su Peisheng said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't want to disturb the people along the coast, otherwise it will be lively." ”

Yongzheng smiled: "This way we will pass through Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and tell the chief officials that if there is anyone who deliberately disturbs the people to greet them, I will ask them to take off their official robes and leave." ”

When he was the fourth elder brother, he also accompanied Kangxi Nan on a tour, and the momentum was very huge, but the expenses along the way were really amazing.

For this reason, the Cao family owes hundreds of thousands of taels to the treasury, and he has not paid it off yet, and he is embarrassed to chase it, after all, this money was spent for the first emperor's southern tour.

Although the son does not say anything about the father, he does not want to see this kind of big scene of burning money.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the frigate changed from opening a path in front of it to a guard pattern in front of it.

Today's excerpt has not yet arrived, Yongzheng remembered the task of transforming the warship, and simply asked Nian Xiyao to come over and take a look on the frigate.

It's just that before the group got closer, they saw a person squatting on the deck, playing with the crossbow machine fixed on the deck.

Dressed in a neat flag outfit and smiling, who is not Chi Xia.

She chatted with the people on the side while watching: "Chief soldier Zhang, do we have artillery on the ship?" ”

"Niangniang, you are joking, isn't the ear of a deaf person when the artillery is put on the ship, is it an ornament?" The person who replied was wearing the sergeant's uniform of the general soldier, and he was still holding a saucer in his hand, which was obviously a snack that Chi Xia had sent to "bribe" them.

Chi Xia was puzzled: "Why?" The artillery is so powerful that it can sink an enemy ship if it hits it, isn't it? ”

"It's true that it's powerful, but the range is not enough, and when we can hit the opposite side, the crossbow machine on the opposite side will shoot through us several times," the general soldier only asked her for fun, laughing: "And it's good that it can hit, if it misses and falls into the water, I don't know if it's our ship or theirs." ”

Chi Xia nodded again and again: "Understood." ”

When they were in the palace, the early morning of the concubines was used to kowtow. Yongzheng occasionally met her outside the Queen Mother's palace a few times, and she was sleepy-eyed.

It was the first time I had seen her so energetic in the morning.

Yongzheng motioned to Su Peisheng not to alarm the other side.

only took Nian Xiyao and walked over: "It's early today." Got it? Tell me about it, too. ”

You don't have to go to ask Ann to kowtow before dawn, Chi Xia was in a good mood, and when he saw that he was coming, he smiled and bent his eyebrows.

He got up and ran over in three or two steps, lowered his voice and folded his fingers to list him.

"To transform a warship, we have to start from three aspects. The first is kinetic energy, preferably with a steam engine, the second is the stability of the warship, which should be larger, more stable and more able to withstand wind and waves, and the third is that the firepower equipped with it should be improved to improve the accuracy and range of the artillery. ”

"In fact, the second point is the easiest, as long as the kinetic energy problem is solved, no matter how big and heavy the ship is, it will not worry about speed. The third point is okay, I will go back and turn over the improvement map of the musket at that time to see if the implementation can modify the artillery. ”

"So the main question is the first one, whether the steam engine can be made. The last time you showed me the prototype made by Nian Daren, I think there are still a little problems, especially the safety valve and coagulation tank, which need to be improved. ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to ask Nian Xiyao where the latest research progress was, but when she looked up, she saw Yongzheng smiling and taking a step away.

Behind him was Nian Xiyao, who was shocked.

The upright face was almost distorted, and it was full of "Who am I, where am I, what did I hear......"

Chi Xia was also startled, although she saw two people just now, she was followed by Su Peisheng by default, and she didn't care at all.

At this time, he could only look at Yongzheng for help.

Yongzheng smiled, and did not mean to give her a round to solve the siege.

Chi Xia: ......

At the beginning, in order to accept the task, she "fooled" Nian Xiyao to recognize the "master of the world" as her master.

Now if you tell him that this "master of the world" is himself, not only is he younger than him, but he is also a woman.

Nian Xiyao, who has been taught by Confucian culture and various etiquette concepts since he was a child, will not throw himself directly into the river in shame, right?

She racked her brains: "That...... In fact, I have also been assigned by "outsiders", which is considered ...... Your sister? ”

Yongzheng laughed.

The chief soldier on the ship was still on the far deck, and the three of them were in all directions, and Chi Xia used his sleeve to cover it and pinched Yongzheng's arm.

If you don't help, forget it, why do you still pull back.

Yongzheng brushed her hand away, seeing that she was going to grab her sleeve again, so he simply pressed her hand.

Chi Xia had no choice but to stop his small movements and smile: "Nian, you are a genius, and I am all petty fights, which can only be built on the basis of your achievements." ”

Yongzheng was still smiling: "It's okay, just say it." ”

Chi Xia glared at him.

Say? Where do you go straight?

I'm afraid that after speaking, Xiyao will strike.

Besides, I've already made up an excuse, which is pretty, but can't you help me with a few sentences!

Yongzheng saw that the accusation in her eyes was about to condense into substance, and lowered his head and whispered to her: "To complete your new task, you will have to make this matter public sooner or later." It's better to choose a day than to hit the day. ”

After speaking, he turned to Nian Xiyao: "Yungong, I haven't told you that most of the drawings I gave you before were from Concubine Zhao's hand. ”

Chi Xia wanted to cover his face.

"Concubine Zhao, like you, has loved these numbers and machines since she was a child, and she is also quite talented. By chance, I saw some atlases brought by Western missionaries, and I came up with those drawings. ”

Nian Xiyao was silent for a long time: "So, Concubine Zhao is the minister's master?" ”

Chi Xia finally understood the embarrassment described by people on the Internet, why did he say that he used his toes to pick out the three-bedroom apartment.

She's really realizing it now.
