Iron Dynasty

Your Highness, this is today's Qingzhou newspaper.

In the early morning, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue'er were having breakfast after washing up. Now with the influx of merchants into Qingzhou, Qingzhou's supplies are getting richer and richer, unlike in the past, sometimes money couldn't buy good things.

Today's breakfast Xiao Ming can always drink lotus seed porridge and eat some delicate pastries.

Taking the newspaper from Xiaohuan, Fei Yue'er looked at it while drinking the porridge. When she saw that the green potato was poisonous, she was surprised: Your Highness, is this potato still poisonous?

Yes, green potatoes are poisonous, so they can't be eaten, but don't worry, potatoes that don't sprout are edible and won't be poisonous, Xiao Ming explained.

Fei Yue'er calmed down, This potato is highly productive and delicious, but I didn't expect it to have this shortcoming. It seems that nothing is perfect.

Picking up the newspaper and reading some errands published in the newspaper, Fei Yue'er continued, Your Highness, are Aster and Luluo usually not in the palace? What are they doing?

In the past two days, Fei Yue'er discovered that Luluo and Aster were always running out, which was very rare in Chang'an's home, after all, maids were not allowed to run around.

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming smiled and said, Aster is now in charge of the Qingzhou Theater, and Luluo is in charge of the largest textile workshop in Qingzhou City. The two of them are very busy people.

Xiaohuan was a little envious when she heard the words, she said: Ziwan and Sister Luluo are both amazing, no wonder His Highness values ​​them so much, but it's really boring for slave maids and princesses to be bored in the palace all day.

What nonsense, it's not that you are playful, I'm not bored. Fei Yue'er rolled her eyes Xiao Huan.

Xiaohuan grinned and stuck out his tongue.

Xiaohuan said the same thing, you are not familiar with people in Qingzhou when you first came to Qingzhou, and there are not many ladies in Qingzhou who can accompany you to relieve your boredom. This king is busy with government affairs, but it hurts you. Xiao Ming held Fei Yue. said the child's hand.

Fei Yue'er smiled lightly, Your Highness should focus on government affairs. As a princess, Yue'er should be able to share his worries and solve problems for Your Highness. Now, you can't share your worries, nor can Your Highness be distracted? So, Your Highness, please don't worry about Yue'er.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of being busy, but be afraid of idle time, and you will be troubled when you are idle. Xiao Ming understands this very well. Now that Fei Yue'er's freshness has not yet passed, it will be more boring in the past.

However, Fei Yue'er has a quiet temperament and likes to read books when she is bored in Chang'an. Xiao Ming quickly said to her: If you are free, this king has some books, you might as well take a look.

What book? Fei Yue'er looked surprised.

At this time, the two of them had almost eaten their breakfast, so Xiao Ming got up and took her to the study in the palace.

In the study, Xiao Ming dug out seven books on Textile Materials, Spinning, Knitting, Weaving, Dyeing and Finishing Technology, and Dyestuff Chemistry, which he wrote for the textile industry, and now he suddenly these books are very suitable for Fei Yueer.

Since ancient times, it is not too outrageous for him to let Fei Yue read these books. After all, it is still in the tradition of men's and women's weaving.

His Royal Highness, what are these? Fei Yue'er looked at the seven books one by one, and her expression became more and more surprised.

This is all textile knowledge. Don't you usually like embroidery? There are also introductions here. After reading these, you will benefit a lot. Xiao Ming smiled.

Now that Fei Yue'er is his princess and his pillow, he naturally wants to improve Fei Yue'er's knowledge and make her the woman behind him.

And this textile industry is just the evolution of female celebrities. Let Fei Yue'er take charge of this matter, one can let her solve the boring life, and the other is that a princess will personally grasp the textile industry, so there is no worry that this industry will not take off.

Fei Yue'er nodded, opened a book and read it, she was immediately attracted by the knowledge in the book, and her eyes could not be separated from the book.

Xiao Ming laughed when he saw this. Fei Yue'er is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, which is the age of learning in modern times. Besides, Fei Yue'er is known as a talented girl in Chang'an, which shows that she is extremely intelligent. Children are trained to be a female scholar.

After all, Fei Yue'er will be the person who spends the most time with her in the future, and she will also receive a lot of knowledge.

His Royal Highness, it's good now. Miss has always been unable to move when she sees a book, but now she won't be bored anymore. Xiaohuan sighed and shook her head, pity that she had to accompany Fei Yue'er to read again.

It seems that the rumor that the princess likes to read is true. Xiao Ming said to Fei Yue'er: Princess, you can take a look here. This king has something to do, so I don't know how to ask this king at night.

Fei Yue'er nodded, with a hint of excitement at the novel knowledge in her eyes, and said, Yes, Your Highness.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming turned and left. He was more and more satisfied with this Fei Yue'er. Most of the concubines in the harem regarded women as being incompetent and virtue as the imperial edict, and they were all in their leisure time every day. On the palace fight.

According to Concubine Zhen, the same is true of many princes' concubines. They either fight in their own nests or participate in the palace fights of concubines in the harem. They think about messy things all day, and there are not many women who can be down-to-earth.

It is because of this that she is particularly satisfied with Fei Yue'er, because in her opinion, a woman who loves reading is not bad. Although this sentence is that Concubine Zhen saves others by herself, but in this era, it is also eight or nine. Not far from ten.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Ming went to the military workshop. Yesterday, Chen Qi said that the Tiger Zun Cannon had made progress, and he was going to take a look.

When he arrived at the military workshop, Xiao Ming saw the Tiger Zun Cannon on the testing ground. It was a stubby cannon with a forty-five-degree angle.

His Royal Highness, this is the test Tiger Gun. This time we used high-quality molten steel to manufacture the body of the Tiger Gun. The weight was reduced, but the quality was improved. This Tiger Gun weighs only 26 pounds. Use it in field battles. Chen Qi said excitedly.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. This time, Chen Qi did not simply imitate the Tiger Gun of the Ming Dynasty, but modified it on this basis, which made the performance of the Tiger Gun more stable. However, this Tiger Gun is being tested. The gun was clearly not perfect, as the walls were still a bit thin.

During the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang made good progress by using the Tiger Cannon to bombard the Japanese pirates in a dense formation. Moreover, the Tiger Cannon was suitable for mountain operations, and it was suitable for use in mountainous areas such as Japan and Ryukyu. Now Chen Qi It is time to develop the Tiger Zun Cannon.

Twenty-six kilograms is too light, you can consider thickening the tube wall, increasing the range, and maintaining the weight at about fifty kilograms. In this way, it is not very heavy in field battles, and at the same time increase the amount of gunpowder. The range can be up to a thousand meters.”

Your Highness is right. This door is only an experimental model. The official is preparing for the official model, which is similar to what His Highness said. Chen Qi chuckled.
