Use mobile phones to teach the ancients to do infrastructure

Chen Xiaobu is now like a little rooster in a fighter jet, his small voice is almost screaming, "Why do you deny it, can't you afford to lose?"

It was not easy for him to get on stage once, and he dared to scold him for wasting money and wasting money in full view.

Prince Zhuo: "..."

What can't afford to lose?Winning or losing is still undecided, as if he has already lost.

In his eyes, matches and oil lamps are indeed the same, it doesn't matter whether they are there or not, flint and candles are good enough.

But the prince smiled contemptuously, and said to the presiding official, "Anyway, I don't understand what matches and oil lamps are, what antimony trisulfide is, what fools people, and I don't know where I learned this crooked theory... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiaobu was stunned and scratched his forehead, "Didn't your teacher teach chemistry? Antimony trisulfide, that antimony trisulfide..."

He also thought that everyone studied similarly to him. He thought that he was still young and studied things that everyone was enlightened, such as chemistry.

The prince Zhuo didn't even look at it, but said to the presiding official, "First look at what my disciples provided."

The presiding official nodded, there was no way, what Chen Xiaobu wrote was indeed incomprehensible.

What Prince Zhuo's servants offered was indeed a good thing, a rake for raking the ground.

Because this thing is simple, it has already been made, and the presiding official is letting the servants try to use it for everyone to see.

The prince Zhuo looked arrogant, "How? It can help the common people cultivate land. This should be a good thing for the people's livelihood."

Chen Bo also looked at it for a while, and then he was a little noncommittal. The thing is a good thing, but...it is actually made of iron.

This is very convenient and durable to use, but can it be widely promoted?

In the upper position, the king also frowned. He managed to get someone to go to a small country to collect things, and he clearly handed them over to the prince Zhuo. Why did they change them?

Superfluous.

Ironware is the most important weapon of the country, how could it be possible for the common people to use it on a large scale without any scruples.

In ancient times, ironware was no different from weapons, just like modern times, allowing you to use guns casually?

The king frowned, but he couldn't say anything, at least for now, even if it is an iron rake, it is the best in the current design.

The prince Zhuo was still complacent. What the king gave him, how could he change it into an iron rake for easy use, and the efficiency of hoeing the ground was greatly improved.

All the officials are also discussing, because Chen Xiaobu's match and oil lamp production process is problematic, and they can't produce the finished product yet, and they can't understand what Chen Xiaobu wrote on the paper, so most of them are actually inclined to the prince. Washed.

Chen Bo is not worried, because people are already making it.

The craftsmanship is a bit more difficult, so it did take a long time.

After so many competitions, let's treat it as halftime.

However, the prince Zhuo provoked contemptuously from time to time, "wasting everyone's time, it is better to announce the results directly."

Chen Bai smiled, "The rules of the competition are not like this."

The comparison is the real thing, not just lip service.

Not much to say.

On the other hand, Chen Xiaobu was as fierce as a fighting cock, and a small head appeared from behind Chen Bai, "Why are you in a hurry, no matter how urgent you are, you can't win. You just have a rake, and I have two things."

Talking is so annoying, it feels like someone has more things than anyone else.

The prince Zhuo was so stunned that he left in a huff. He wanted to see who would be ashamed of wasting everyone's time.

It took too much time for Chen Xiaobu's two things, because everyone didn't understand, so he was groping while making them, especially matches. In fact, matches are relatively easy to make, because the main material is flint, which is ground and filtered Remove impurities, and then add a small amount of cooked charcoal ash to make a match. The difficulty is to rub the burning skin with it.

While waiting, the sun was about to set.

Sure enough, the people at the halftime break were also a little scratchy. They came to watch the competition, and they didn't wait endlessly like this.

Fortunately, when the sunset glowed red, finally, a row of small wooden sticks with red mushroom heads and a strange tile bottle appeared in front of everyone.

The presiding official was also a little puzzled, "Is this the matches and the oil lamp?"

It looks weird, and I don't know the specific use.

It was Chen Bo who went up and picked up a match and a small piece of strange leather.

Then he said in full view, "Look."

When the match was rubbed on the skin, there was a sound of "呵", and a flame rose like that.

The small flames reflected in everyone's eyes.

And everyone was shocked by this miraculous scene.

"It's an open flame, just stroke it like that, why did it come out with an open flame?"

To be honest, it's amazing.

Even Chen Xiaobu opened his mouth wide open, oh my god, is this the match he just wrote?so fun.

Run up quickly, "Let me try, let me try."

Chen Bo: "..."

Do children have a special attachment to flames?This thing is very easy to cause a fire.

Chen Bo held back for a long time and finally did not say that children would wet the bed at night when playing with fire.

Chen Xiaobu took the matches and struck them one by one. The light of the fire shone on his surprised little face, allowing everyone to see clearly.

Chen Xiaobu felt that he shouldn't be so surprised, but he couldn't help it.

Of course, no one cared about Chen Xiaobu's expression now.

"It looks very convenient to use, even a child can draw an open flame directly."

It is conceivable how convenient it is to light a fire with such a match. It was not an easy task to ignite a fire with the sparks made by the flint in the past. Even if the weather is damp, maybe one day the flint will not be able to make a fire, cook, and be hungry. It's annoying, but it's something that happens to everyone all the time.

Chen Bo said loudly, "This is a match."

Chen Xiaobu also stomped his feet and said, "This is the match."

Hmph, look, how miraculous it is, I can't understand it, and I actually say his matches are not good.

Lighting a match, holding it high, teasingly, but his face was frightened.

Chen Bo continued, "Although we don't know how much this match should be priced properly, its main materials are flint foam and a small wooden stick. I believe that at such a cost, every household should buy all the flint with the original money. worthy of this match."

"Although a match is small, it can enter thousands of households and everyone's life, which is convenient for me to do all the people."

Chen Xiaobu raised his head, and when one went out, he quickly ignited the next one, for fear that others would not see it, and he raised it high on tiptoes, with a terrified expression on his face that was about to be beaten up.

With so many people at the scene, their eyes were all fixed on the burning match. They had a premonition that Flint would be replaced soon.

As Chen Bo said at the beginning, new things replace old things, and only hard work can make progress.

At this time, Chen Bai took the burning match from Chen Xiaobu, and lit the wick in the nearby oil lamp.

The supporting officials and servants who were near saw it most clearly. After the wick was lit, it did not burn to ashes, but kept the flame alive like the wick of a candle.

Everyone: "..."

Isn't that a bottle of water?

How can it keep the wick alive like wax?

Chen Bo continued, "As for this oil lamp, it can keep lighting up just like a candle."

"As for such a bottle of kerosene, if you save a little, you can light it for an hour a night. There is no problem with using it for a month, and its cost price is estimated to be the price of a candle."

Candles are expensive, not just talking.

As soon as the voice came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"What? Such a small bottle can be used for a month if it is lit for an hour a day?"

That's an hour. To be honest, it is impossible for the people in Beijing to light a lamp for an hour at night, let alone other people. That is to say, if it is actually used, the oil lamp may last for more than a month.

"The cost is only the price of one candle?"

Even counting labor costs, etc., no matter how expensive it is, it is not too expensive.

Chen Bai smiled, "With the oil lamps, every night from now on, it's not impossible for the people in the capital to have their houses brightly lit."

"In the future, when you stand on a high place and look at Shangjing at night, it will have a completely new look, dotted with stars and dimly lit."

The picture is so beautiful, even if it is imagined, it makes people feel a little dazed, with their mouths open, the lights are dim, and the city of Shangjing is dotted with stars.

"Oil lamps are cheap, but they can illuminate thousands of households..."

Chen Bo used his voice to bring everyone a different Shangjing.

The key is that this kind of going to the capital can really be realized.

There was no sound at the scene, and even the eyes were shaking with the flickering flames of the oil lamp, like a dream.

However, this fantasy picture was broken by someone. The prince Zhuo said in a gloomy voice, "My rake for raking the land doesn't do too much. It is based on farming. Could it be that the rake that can help everyone plow the land is no better than yours? Here are the matches and the oil lamp."

Unexpectedly, even though he prepared in advance, he couldn't press the other party to death, and his mood can be imagined.

Chen Bo smiled, and even picked up the rake on the ground, "A rake is a good rake."

The prince raised his face.

"But..." Chen Bo continued, "If I see it well, it is made of iron, right?"

"So what, the iron rake is especially useful when raking the ground, and it is also durable."

Chen Bo shook his head noncommittally, "Maybe it can be used by noble families. If it is used as a daily necessities, how many people do you think can afford it, and how much iron do you have to make such a rake?"

An understatement pointed out the core of this exam question. They designed objects to improve people's livelihood. What is an iron rake for nobles?

Chen Bai glanced at Prince Zhuo, "If it is said that it is a waste of money, your iron rake will really consume all my financial resources. I don't know that Prince Zhuo is very aware of how expensive iron is? A rake might cost a whole family. It takes a year or two to afford it, let alone use it to create value."

Uh... He only knows how to use it, and he is talking about how much an iron rake is worth.

Chen Xiaobu was stunned for a moment, then quickly revealed his small head from behind Chen Bai, "Prince Zhuo, you are the one who wastes people's money."

Chen Xiaobu didn't know how happy he was when he returned the original words to the other party.

Chen Bai smiled, it seems that this little guy will not be left with any psychological shadow by the other party's questioning at all, if there is any problem, it is probably a little too embarrassing, looking like he wants to beat him.

The audience also nodded secretly. Matches and oil lamps are the real and practical things that benefit the people. Although the rake is good, they don't need it.

No matter how obvious the result is, this kind of competition witnessed by everyone is indeed fair, because no one can call a deer a horse and turn black and white.

"In the fifth round of the prince competition, Chen Xiaobu won, and the prince scored one point."

No matter how ugly the prince Zhuo's face was, in fact, it was the king who was even uglier than him, and he couldn't help muttering with a gloomy face, "Things that succeed are not enough to fail."

I found him a daily necessities, but turned it into an iron work for him. Except for the price problem mentioned by the tiger, would he dare to let the people use iron in such a large amount?

The oil lamps on the field were just like that, and they were not blown out.

But the match in Chen Xiaobu's hand was taken back by Chen Bai.

Chen Xiaobu was still a little bit reluctant, but now he is a celebrity that everyone is looking at, and he felt a little embarrassed to lie on the ground and roll around, so he quickly stood up straight and followed Chen Bai sternly, if you don't look at him The face with a smile like a flower is quite decent. In Gan Xin's words, he doesn't want to smile either. He also wants to be serious on such occasions, but he just can't help it.

When Chen Bai returned to the carriage, Qi Zheng leaned over and said casually, "We cooperate in the business of matches and oil lamps."

Chen Bo: "..."

This Huang Shiren, who has no profit and can't afford it early, seems to be cheap and has no profit for this kind of people's livelihood, but he can't stand the large quantity. This guy Qi Zheng actually saw a business opportunity from it, which is also amazing.

Chen Bo said weakly, "Actually, the business of matches and oil lamps can be handled by Tingwei Mansion itself."

The corners of Qi Zheng's lips turned upward, "As far as the property of Tingwei Mansion is concerned, the capital can't supply it all, so how can we expand the business in a short time."

Chen Bo: "..."

Well, according to Qi Zheng, we really have to cooperate with him to maximize our benefits.

After thinking about it, it is really troublesome to do business, and it is easy for him to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

Besides, since I have raised Qi Zheng so fat, Qi Zheng must let him be a lawless favorite in the future, and it is best to favor him so long as he does not rebel. , is worth it.

It was getting late now, and there were long shadows cast by the light of the oil lamp.

And the audience looked a little hesitant.

The presiding official discussed for a while, "Today's competition is over, and tomorrow will continue."

Chen Bo frowned. There have been five matches in the Prince Grand Competition. Qi Zheng won four matches and tied one match. The tie was due to being caught off guard and did not expect the opponent to cheat.

In this way, there are still objects that are not determined to be stored.

What the king was thinking, Chen Bai didn't know, but it was impossible to continue the endless comparison. If the king was planning to let the prince Zhuo bring the score back, then he was really thinking too much.

The corners of their mouths are raised, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover up, Qi Zheng finally won this opportunity of fair competition, how could they give up easily, not only that, they will seize this opportunity and never let it go, because they missed this opportunity , I don’t know what will happen next time.

As soon as the presiding official announced, the most excited ones were the students in the carriage behind Qi Zheng, their heads sticking out from the curtains, "Why don't we compete? We haven't played yet."

"That's right, obviously it's our turn."

Chen Bai's forehead twitched badly, in fact it was not only him, those princes and their followers also had their foreheads twitched.

So impatient, like rushing up to win, what do you think of them?

But no matter how unconvinced these students are, today's competition is over.

The audience was a little hesitant, today's competition was too exciting, but when they thought about it carefully, they only remembered the brilliant performances that the students of Yunshang Academy brought them time and time again.

Thinking of it this way, I couldn't help but be surprised. Is Yunshang Academy already such a remarkable existence?

The Yunshang Academy, which stands so quietly outside the city and soars into the sky, has cultivated so many outstanding students. The performance of these students today can be seen in general.

This feeling is very abrupt and unreal.

But from today, I am afraid that no one can ignore and ignore the existence of Yunshang Academy, instead of just turning it into a miraculous building.

The crowd dispersed and everyone went back to their homes.

After Chen Bo went back, he washed up and was about to rest when Chen Xiaobu was full of excitement and rushed into his yard with a blushing face.

"Brother, why don't you come to see the Prince's Grand Competition today? Your younger brother is in the limelight today. There is no one in the capital who doesn't know me, Chen Xiaobu."

Chen Bai smiled, and rubbed the soft hair on Chen Xiaobu's head, "He's a celebrity, why is he still like a monkey."

"Oh, anyway, there are no outsiders here, brother, let me tell you, today was wonderful, I even pissed off the prince, and he didn't dare to refute..."

Chen Xiaobu was indeed a little excited, with a small mouth, Chen Bai was worried that he was thirsty.

Chen Bo listened to Chen Xiaobu talking about today's prince contest, vividly.

This is really good, the family is harmonious, and life is full of joy. After Qi Zheng comes to power, he and the Tingwei Mansion should be much safer, and they don't have to worry about what they have.

Can live a stable life, who wants to worry about being afraid all day.

Chen Xiaobu talked for a long time, touched his stomach, and told him that he was hungry, and he had to eat some dried bacon that his mother had bought too much.

After sending Chen Xiaobu away, Chen Bai thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent a voice message to Qi Zheng, "Have you figured out how to deal with it tomorrow?"

Since Qi Zheng took off his mask last time, they haven't talked on the phone much.

Because as soon as Qi Zheng chats with him on his mobile phone, he will regard himself as a tiger, and when they meet in reality, he will immediately lose touch.

Both are the same as sorting patients.

Chen Bai didn't plan to wait for Qi Zheng's reply, but after a while, Qi Zheng actually replied, "Today they lost a lot, and I'm afraid they will make perfect preparations for tomorrow's competition, especially the prince Zhuo, who can know the questions in advance, so he must be more careful." Not easy to deal with."

Prince Zhuo, who was originally full of confidence, would probably pay more attention to the competition.

Chen Bo couldn't help being stunned for a moment, Qi Zheng actually replied to him, tsk tsk, this is so awkward.

Of course, he didn't dare to let Qi Zheng know this, because he felt that if Qi Zheng knew, he would be furious at the first time, and he said that he had tarnished some pure friendship, which was very sour.

Chen Bo straightened his body, now is the time to establish a new revolutionary friendship of "sharing joys and sorrows", he can't relax, after all, he doesn't know whether Qi Zheng will settle old scores with him after the competition.

He had to have a good chat with Qi Zheng.

Because there was a competition the next day, Chen Bo didn't flatter him for long, but he was quite satisfied because Qi Zheng accepted all his flattery photos.

On the second day, Chen Xiaobu came to Chen Bai early in the morning to watch the prince competition.

Chen Bo definitely has no way to go, he has to go as a tiger.

Chen Xiaobu acted like his brother had missed Jin Qianliang, and then went out excitedly.

Chen Bo also made some preparations and went out. When his carriage arrived at the scene, Chen Bo was a little surprised that the students' carriages were also there.

He also thought that these students might not be able to come home all night.

I don't know what the parents of these students mean. They say they support Qi Zheng, but they may not admit it. Say they are against Qi Zheng. Now their children have become Qi Zheng's disciples.

The audience also arrived early, and they were not surprised by the carriages of Qi Zheng's disciples.

What is worrying is that today, whether it is the prince Zhuo or the king, I am afraid that they have already prepared, and only I have to face the uncertain test questions on the spot.

Qi Zheng came earlier, and when passing by Chen Bai's carriage, Chen Bai asked flatteringly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

It was just a simple question, but Qi Zheng's face darkened.

Is this what Chen Zifu should ask?They are not very familiar.

Chen Bo: "..."

Well, this is awkward, if you have the ability, you will be awkward for the rest of your life.

Hey, it seems that the revolutionary friendship established last night did not work out.

When the sun rose, the king and all the officials also came.

Because of yesterday's wonderful competition, one after another strange and shocking things appeared, the audience is also looking forward to today's competition.

There were even people discussing yesterday's Zhuge Liannu, matches and oil lamps, yes, for them, which one is not an epoch-making and unique thing.

"Dong dong dong."

Drums sounded.

Only then did the crowd suppress their voices and prick up their ears. They were also very curious about the topic.

Chen Bo also cheered up. Chen Bo originally thought that today's competition should be similar to yesterday's.

As soon as the topic came out, Chen Bo was also shocked.

"The sixth round of the Prince's Grand Competition begins now."

"As we all know, the merchants of the Yan Kingdom are treasonous, and openly assassinated our great king in the hall. In order to seek justice, I have been ordered by the Holy Queen Mother. My court has issued a criminal document to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom and asked the other party to offer three cities. As an apology, the three armies I have worked on are even more pressing on the border of Yan Kingdom..."

"However, relying on the country's prosperity, the Yan State formed a three-nation alliance with the Ba State and the Wei State, and turned a blind eye to my big crimes, and even ignored the threat of our three armies suppressing the border."

"So, the topic of this sixth game is how to make Yan Guo obediently hand over three cities as an apology."

As soon as the topic came out, not only Chen Bo was stunned, but the audience was also in an uproar.

Chen Bai knew that the Prince Dabi would definitely test the management of the government. After all, this is a competition for the position of prince, and handling the government is the ultimate measure.

It's just that I didn't expect that it would be such a big problem when I came here.

Relying on the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Yanbawei didn't even pay attention to the pressure of the three armies. How could other people make the other side surrender the three cities obediently.

The exam questions this time were really difficult problems of the century, no wonder the audience was in an uproar.

Chen Bo frowned a little, he had no solution to such a problem, could the prince Zhuo win?

I can't figure out why the king would ask such a question.

At this time, the presiding official announced loudly, "Three points for this question."

Chen Bo wasn't too surprised, even three points for this kind of problem were less, but...Qi Zheng managed to memorize four points, and now one question actually accounted for three points.

That is to say, if the prince Zhuo really wins this round, plus he scored a point in the original draw, that means he can actually draw with Qi Zheng.

If the other princes can win this round, they can also directly turn the situation around.

"All the princes, please submit the guest nameplates." The presiding official continued regardless of how sensational the scene was.

After the commotion, there was complete silence, and then they watched the lineups of the princes intently. This time the competition is not ordinary, and what kind of followers they will send to fight.

"Prince Dabi, the first guest in the prince's Zhuofu, Lan Jun Lan Ruoyun."

wow.

Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, Lan Jun Lan Ruoyun?Among the four great gentlemen of Daqian, Lord Lan, who is as famous as Meng Huanchao, is known as the god in the dream, Youlan in the empty valley.

It's just that when did Lan Ruoyun become a guest at the prince's Zhuofu?

Chen Bo looked suspiciously at Qi Zheng beside the carriage.

Qi Zheng also frowned and shook his head, "Lan Ruoyun hasn't been working for many years, and I didn't expect to give me such a big surprise when she came back, but I heard that Lan Ruoyun seems to have something to do with the royal family of Yan Kingdom..."

Chen Bo frowned tightly, and appeared too suddenly, and happened to be related to the royal family of Yan Kingdom...

At this time, a young man as elegant as an orchid came out from the prince's camp. He was dressed in light yellow robes, dotted with elegant orchid patterns.

Standing up this time, it seems that this person has an air of nobility in him, as if he was born with it.

What a Lan Jun Lan Ruoyun.

The audience and even hundreds of officials were shocked.

Dagan celebrity, the most famous are the four great gentlemen of Dagan, this Lan Ruoyun does have the capital to cause such a sensation.

Even the prince Zhuo, who has always been a dandy, has restrained a lot and acted a lot more stable. The corner of his eyes has been on Lan Ruoyun from the beginning to the end, and he dare not neglect him in the slightest.

The other guests of the prince's mansion were originally well-known people in Shangjing, but now, they can't even raise a splash, like petals falling into the soil, like inconspicuous little stars accompanying the bright moon.

Chen Bo frowned and sighed, "It seems that I came prepared today."

The students who were still scrambling to get on stage were also silent.

"Why is it such a difficult question, there is no solution."

"Prince Zhuo's guest is Lan Jun, my father is the most optimistic about him."

"Hmph, what's the big deal, when we grow up, each of us can become a world-famous celebrity like Lan Jun."

Qi Zheng also frowned and asked, "How?"

Chen Bo pondered for a while, "I did not think of this question, but even if a Lan Ruoyun really has something to do with Yan's royal family, it is impossible for Yan to hand over three cities so easily."

The competition between the princes of other countries for the crown prince has nothing to do with Yan State, so it is impossible for Yan State to bet on three cities.

So how Lan Ruoyun could help the prince Zhuo win this round, Chen Bai also couldn't figure it out.

but……

Chen Bai continued, "It's not necessarily impossible to obtain the three cities of the Yan Kingdom, it's just that it took some twists and turns..."

"Since ancient times, wars without gunpowder smoke are often the most shocking."

Qi Zheng was stunned, wanting the three cities of Yan State without gunpowder smoke

After taking a look at Chen Bo, he asked someone to hand over the guest nameplate.

The servant who read out the nameplate, his eyes lit up holding the nameplate.

"Prince Dabi, the number one guest in the prince's government, a celebrity in the world...a tiger."

No one in Beijing knows how strong the tiger is in the battle against humans.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I saw Tiger compete with others.

Chen Bo lifted the curtain of the car and walked down, the strangeness remained the same.

Lan Ruoyun, who was on the opposite side, also bowed his hands to Chen Bogong, "I didn't expect that after leaving Shangjing for a few years, there would be someone like a tiger in Shangjing. Ruoyun came back like a thunderbolt."

Chen Bo was taken aback for a moment, what a gentleman Rulan was, who lived up to his name, it seemed that they were not rivals.

If Meng Huanchao was called to stand beside Lan Ruoyun, the two of them would definitely be the most beautiful scenery in Shangjing.

Lan Ruoyun is indeed a good-looking talent, no wonder he has the title of the god in the dream. According to legend, the gods in the sky are reflected in people's dreams, and they are just like this, but they are different from the unforgettable Meng Huanchao.

Chen Bo also returned the salute in a dignified manner, after all, it was not easy for him to be rude when someone greeted him so noblely.

On the other hand, the prince next to him is worth two to five or eight thousand yuan.

The guests of each mansion have already come to the stage.

Almost everyone's eyes were on Chen Bai and Lan Ruoyun on the stage.

Chen Bo just said that if Meng Huanchao and Lan Ruoyun stood together, it would definitely be the most beautiful scenery. In fact, they are not the same scenery in the eyes of others now.

The one was so red that it was strangely red. The mask on his face had never been taken off, and his body seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil.

I heard that the hot topic of discussion among the common people in Beijing after dinner, and the face of the tiger will definitely be at the forefront of their topic list.

The other person, dressed in light yellow, has an indifferent and noble personality like an orchid.

Isn't it the most beautiful scenery in their eyes.

Maybe it was because the two were closer, Lan Ruoyun looked at Chen Bo more carefully.

When his eyes passed Chen Bo's eyes, he couldn't help being taken aback. The tiger's eyes... so demonic, they actually gave birth to a pair of strange eyes that can charm all living beings. They are really... so beautiful. I can't stop exploring, I have never seen such beautiful eyes.

If Chen Bo knew what Lan Ruoyun was thinking, he would say something funny, it's just color contact lenses, if you are curious, you can do it too.

Offstage, Qi Zheng frowned.

What happened to Lan Ruoyun?Keep staring at his tiger's eyes, and keep looking!
