Great Qin Shi Empress

==·Rubber·==

Ying Zheng had always heard Lin Qian talk about trains and cars, but never heard her mention bicycles, so he was a little curious.

After Lin Qian asked Hua to think about what he wanted to trade with him, he turned off the plane trader and explained to Ying Zheng: "Bicycle is a kind of vehicle that can drive the tires forward by stepping on the pedals in a circular motion. It’s simple, and even an ordinary carpenter can make it after getting the drawings. The only problem is that the tires of the bicycle are made of rubber, otherwise the wear will be very serious.”

Rubber again?

Ying Zheng thought for a while and asked Lin Qian: "Since there are rubber trees in the world where flowers live, there should be seeds or saplings, right?"

Lin Qian understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "You have defeated Yelang and Dian Kingdom, how can I hold you back and leave such a good place to do nothing? "

Ying Zheng laughed: "Your mouth is getting bolder and bolder, you dare to say anything."

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and simply reached out to Ying Zheng, and pulled him to sit beside her: "Isn't this bad? Or do you prefer that I treat you with the same respect as other people, thinking about you in everything I do? What do you want?"

【If that's the case, it will be too tiring. I may not be able to bear it. 】

Ying Zheng smiled and squeezed his hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, his eyes were full of smiles: "No, you are fine like this."

Lin Qian laughed, brought his hand to her lips, bowed her head and kissed the back of his hand.

Yingzheng had someone call the giant of the Mo family into the palace.

Lin Qian drew a blueprint of the bicycle with only the important structure, and handed it directly to the Mohist Juzi.

Juzi raised his head within a quarter of an hour after looking at the blueprint: "This machine is called a bicycle? It looks very simple, but can it really carry people on the road? It looks like it is very easy to fall over."

During this period of time, he temporarily put down everything in his hands, and has been studying the materials that Lin Qian gave him before.

Although many things have been learned, it is not so easy to use——

After all, Juzi got used to the old way of thinking.

Fortunately, learning is effective, and today's Juzi can basically integrate that knowledge, and now it is only a matter of practice.

Lin Qian looked at the blueprint, nodded and said, "Beginners of this kind of bicycle are indeed easy to fall, but after learning how to master the balance, they will not fall again."

After hearing this, Juzi made gestures with the blueprint, and quickly found the reason: "If you leave it in place like this, the bicycle will definitely fall to the ground, so there is only a bracket for the rear wheel of the bicycle on this blueprint. ? The bike can maintain balance after starting to move, it should be because it has a forward driving force?"

The more Juzi thought about it, the more he felt that the driving of the bicycle was very meaningful.

Lin Qian nodded and said with a smile, "Ju Zi is quite right."

After Juzi figured it out, he turned his attention to other structures.

Others are fine, but...

"It's marked on the side of the wheel that it's best to use rubber as the raw material. But," Juzi looked at Lin Qian suspiciously, "what is rubber? Is it the same material as Eucommia gum?"

Lin Qian explained: "Rubber is also a kind of natural rubber, but unlike Eucommia gum, which needs to be boiled from the bark and branches of the tree, it can be collected by cutting the bark of the rubber tree. Eucommia gum is softer and more elastic, and it is more widely used than Eucommia gum. Generally, rubber can be used where Eucommia gum can be used, but where rubber can be used, Eucommia gum may not be used.”

Even with the addition of anti-aging agents, the hardening degree of Eucommia gum is quite fast, and it cannot be compared with rubber.

Therefore, Eucommia gum is generally only used as a substitute for rubber.

When Lin Qian said this, Juzi immediately understood the importance of rubber: "Since we have found rubber, do we need to send some people to collect it?"

Ying Zheng said, "Rubber trees were discovered in the territory of Yelang and Dian. It would take time and effort to send people to collect rubber. It is better to recruit people to collect it locally, and it can give the local people some extra income."

Juzi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Qian couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Juzi, "Except for the bicycle tires, how long does Juzi think this bicycle will be ready?"

Juzi was stunned for a moment: "Marquis Gu Feng likes this kind of bicycle very much?"

Lin Qian said with a smile: "It's not because I like it, but because bicycles are more convenient. Even when driving on a concrete road, the carriage feels a little bumpy, and it's not very convenient to park. You also need a driver, which is too much trouble. If I have a bicycle, I can go wherever I want, isn’t it very convenient?”

Ying Zheng laughed at her when she heard this: "Other noble officials want to show off when they go out, so that people know who they are. Every time you go out, you only ride in the most ordinary carriage, with only one driver and one horse. trouble."

Even, she would rather walk directly than take a carriage more often, saying that "it's not a few steps anyway".

Lin Qian was a little helpless: "I just went out for a while, but in the end I had to toss a bunch of people to accompany me. Don't you find it troublesome?"

Ying Zheng laughed: "What's the trouble?"

Lin Qian was speechless: "Anyway, I find it troublesome. I hope the bicycle can be built as soon as possible."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Juzi couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty and Marquis Gu Feng, please rest assured, except for the chain and the brakes, which are relatively delicate and require more time, the other parts of this bicycle are easy to manufacture. And even for the chain and brakes, you can find someone to take care of these two parts alone, and it doesn’t take much time.”

He thought for a while, and gave an approximate time, "There are quite a few free disciples in the Mo family. If Marquis Gu Feng is in a hurry, we can build a bicycle with all our strength, and we can make it in a day or so. If Marquis Gu Feng is not in a hurry, I will take two young disciples to do it, and it will be done in two or three days."

Lin Qian said directly: "The rubber will probably be available to you tomorrow, and it will take some time to study how to make it into tires. There is no need to worry about bicycles."

After 12 wealthy households migrated to Xianyang, Xianyang has really expanded a lot. Today’s area is almost three to four times that of the old Xianyang. If you want to go to the other corner of the city to find people or buy things, it’s not easy. It does take a lot of time.

But Lin Qian's life is basically two points and one line——

Most of the time, she only goes back and forth between Xianyang Palace and Shaofu, and occasionally goes to other yamen.

The official offices of the Sangong Jiuqing and their officials are all located in the "old city" of Xianyang. Because these official offices have been gathered together, they have not taken any action on them in the previous urban planning.

The distance between Xianyang Palace and Shaofu is really not far.

If it is walking, Lin Qian has figured out that he can walk back and forth in a quarter of an hour. After walking, he will not feel tired at all, and he can exercise his body.

When Juzi heard that he could see rubber tomorrow, he only thought that someone sent someone to Xianyang after discovering rubber, so he was only happy but never doubted.

He thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, let me take full responsibility for this bicycle. I also really want to study the details and principles of the brake and chain. Maybe it can be applied to other machines in the future."

Lin Qian naturally had no objection.

Soon, Juzi left with the blueprint.

The next day, Hua came to Lin Qian when he was eating at noon: "Lin Qian, Lin Qian, are you there? I took people to collect several large barrels of rubber. Is it convenient for you to receive it now?"

As soon as Lin Qian heard this, he immediately sent someone to find an unused large wooden bucket for bathing.

After putting the things in the warehouse, she clicked on the flowery dialogue page: "Yes, I have already found something to hold the rubber."

After Hua got the answer, she immediately sent a document package to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian clicked on it, and heard a few thuds, the wooden barrels filled with rubber tree sap all fell into the big wooden barrels, and soon floated up.She quickly picked up the small wooden bucket, and was about to pass it to Hua, when she saw several more document packages from the other party.

Lin Qian was startled, glanced at the big wooden barrel, and carefully opened one of the file packages.

There were a few more bangs, and a few small buckets floated up inside the big wooden bucket.

Lin Qian looked at the documents sent by Dazzling, and found that there were still five document packages, and if she counted correctly, there should be three small wooden barrels in each document package.

The big wooden barrel on Lin Qian's side has already taken up half of its volume.

Moreover, Hua is still sending out document packages to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian quickly sent a voice message to Hua: "Hua, how many barrels of rubber do you have over there? Tell me so that I can find something to hold the rubber."

Hua didn't seem to see it, and was still sending rubber to Lin Qian non-stop.

Lin Qian: "..."

She was a little helpless, so she had to ask someone to carry a few more large wooden barrels over.

After filling up all the large unused bathing barrels in stock, Lin Qian had no choice but to ask someone to go to the Mohist workshop to ask them to make ten more large wooden barrels.

Fortunately, they only collected rubber for one day, and the amount was not particularly large.

Lin Qian packed eight and a half barrels of rubber, but no more flowers came.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But I didn't want to spend this time seeing the news, so I sent her a voice message: "So far, only so much rubber has been collected. It's because of the people from the big tribe that we launched the previous alliance that we collected so much."

"However, we have found the correct collection method. In the future, we don't need too many people to help. We only need to find a few people to collect it every day."

"You can see if there is enough rubber. If not, we can increase the amount of collection in the future."

Lin Qian was taken aback, and quickly refused: "No need, these rubbers are completely enough. By the way, you gave me so much rubber, is there anything you want?"

Hua smiled and said, "No need, you have already helped us a lot, and these rubbers are considered as our reward for you."

After all, if it weren't for the weapon blueprint that Lin Qian gave her, let alone entering this city to live a stable life, they might even lose the entire tribe.

Lin Qian tried a few more words of persuasion, but Hua's attitude was firm, and she couldn't say anything more.

"If you want anything in the future, just come to me."

"Okay, Lin Qian, you too!"

The two said a few more words, and then directly turned off the plane trader.

Lin Qian looked at the large barrels of rubber in the warehouse, and asked someone to inform Ying Zheng, and then sent someone to Mojia Workshop with the processing method of rubber and the production method of Hu Fen.

……

After the rubber is heated or left for a period of time, it will solidify and become a rubber product.

However, when such rubber products are exposed to heat or sun again, they will become soft and sticky again, so they are not very good industrial raw materials.

Some people discovered that after adding sulfur and basic lead carbonate to the rubber, even if it is heated and exposed to the sun again, it will no longer become soft and sticky, and the rubber itself can maintain its softness and elasticity.

Needless to say, sulfur is abundant in nature, and it has been used in China for thousands of years.

And basic lead carbonate has another name in China——

Hu powder.

Although it is not something that exists in nature, it has appeared in China for hundreds of thousands of years.

The method of making Hufen is recorded in Tiangong Kaiwu: You only need to melt a hundred catties of lead, cut it into thin slices, roll it into a tube, put it into a wooden steamer (a utensil), and then put it in the middle of the steamer. A bottle of vinegar is placed under them, sealed and heated for seven days. After opening, a layer of frost powder can be seen on the lead sheet.Finally, sweep this layer of cream powder into the water, add soybean powder and clam powder in proportion, mix it evenly, clarify it, pour off the water and dry it to become Hu powder.

……

Juzi was also unambiguous, and after getting the two production methods written by Rubber and Lin Qian, he sent someone to send the production method of Hu Fen to the workshop where Xu Shi and other alchemists were.

The method of making Hu Fen is not difficult, Xu Shi and others strictly followed the process on the prescription, and delivered Hu Fen to Juzi on time within seven days.

At this time, Juzi had already completed the frame of the bicycle, leaving only the tires.

After getting Hu Fen, Juzi immediately led his disciples to experiment together, trying to make the last part of the bicycle, the tire, as soon as possible.

What they thought at first was to make a solid tire directly out of rubber, but after finishing it, they found that this solid tire could not absorb shocks well, which was comparable to the bumps of a carriage.

Lin Qian even felt that the carriage was bumpy, so how could she be willing to ride this kind of bicycle?

Without even asking Lin Qian, Juzi and the others knew that the tires of this bicycle must not look like they made them.

But what to do, a group of people have been unable to find a clue.

Or Mo Shu, who was obsessed with speeding up minecarts recently, accidentally passed by a room where a group of people were working. After learning about their troubles, he said directly: "If the solid tires are too bumpy, why don't you just make them hollow?"

==·Love·==

A word to awaken the dreamer.

While other Mohists were still wondering how the hollow tires could bear the weight of a bicycle and a person, Juzi instantly had an answer in his heart——

The hollow tire itself may not be able to bear the weight of the bicycle itself and a person, but wouldn't it be good to inflate the hollow tire?

He didn't care to explain to others, so he couldn't wait to lead them to make hollow tires.

And this is not difficult for Juzi and others.

In order to test out better hollow tires, Juzi divided his Mohist disciples into two groups. One group made hollow tires directly from rubber, while the other group tried to make hollow tires with some kind of hollow objects, such as heated and bent tires. Bamboo tubes are coated with rubber to make rubber tires.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages after they are produced, but Juzi is not very satisfied with both.

As a person who likes perfection in everything, it is impossible for Juzi to hand in this kind of semi-finished product in his eyes.

He thought for a while, and simply combined the two tires to make a bicycle tire including a pneumatic inner tube and an outer tire.

And because when I was riding this kind of tire in the experiment, I found that the inner tube that was full of air at the beginning is very easy to burst when encountering a bumpy road, so I worked together with my disciples to make a tire with a valve core on the left rear. tire.

……

Today, Lin Qian happened to have nothing to do, so he went to the official office dealing with Su Nei Shi to look for Lin Mo.

While the two were talking, they saw their subordinates rushing to the door: "Master Lin, the Mo family sent someone over, saying that the bicycle is ready, I hope you can go and have a look."

Lin Qian was overjoyed, and immediately bid farewell to Lin Mo and left.

As soon as she left the door, she stopped and asked her subordinates, "Have you notified His Majesty?"

The man paused: "I don't know."

Lin Qian thought for a while and said, "Let's take a different route and go to Xianyang Palace to ask."

It was a coincidence that Lin Qian and the Seventh Princess had just arrived at the gate of Xianyang Palace when they saw Ying Zheng coming out with a few servants.

Ying Zheng noticed Lin Qian instantly, stopped with a smile, and waited for her to walk quickly in front of him before getting into the carriage.

Ying Zheng asked her, "How did you come from that direction?"

Lin Qian smiled: "I went to Zhisu Neishi before, and I heard that Juzi had already made a bicycle. I thought it would not take much time to walk from Xianyang Palace, so I just came here to try my luck."

Ying Zheng glanced at her: "Trying luck?"

"Yeah, you're definitely going too, so I thought I'd come over and meet by chance, and if we meet, we'll go to the Mohist workshop together." Lin Qian smiled, "We can spend more time together on the way."

The carriage soon arrived at the Mohist Workshop.

The two got out of the car one after another, and then walked in directly.

Perhaps there was an oolong in the minecart last time. This time when Lin Qian and the two entered, they didn't see anyone riding a bicycle. Everyone's attitude was quite cautious, making people think that they had strayed into some serious occasion. .

Seeing Ying Zheng, Ju Zi and others quickly saluted.

Ying Zheng nodded and told them to flatten: "Where's the bicycle? Why didn't you see it?"

Juzi raised his hand, and immediately someone pushed four or five bicycles out of the room.

When Lin Qian saw it, she immediately stepped forward happily, took a bicycle from one of the Mohist students, and then stepped on the pedal with her left foot impatiently. She took a few steps, and looked at another bicycle One foot is about to leave the ground...

Juzi hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute, Marquis Gu Feng, please be careful, this bicycle is very easy to fall if you haven't learned it before."

Lin Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have ridden."

Back then, she had just had her heart replaced, and she was full of curiosity about everything in the world. Naturally, she had learned to ride a bicycle, but it was a pity that riding a bicycle was too heavy on her body, and she never rode again after learning it.

Riding a bicycle now, for Lin Qian, can be regarded as making up for the regrets of her previous life.

As she said that, she kicked her foot on the ground quickly...

squeak-

Lin Qian and the bicycle only moved about half a meter before stopping abruptly in place.

The other foot she had raised earlier had already dropped back to the ground.

As if nothing happened.

Lin Qian lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt in silence, she was dumbfounded.

Ying Zheng has been paying attention to Lin Qian, and he has naturally seen the whole process of her changing from anticipation and excitement to an instant change of face.

He followed Lin Qian's line of sight and glanced at the hem of her skirt——

Because of the existence of crotch pants in the clothing of the Qin and Han Dynasties, regardless of men and women, the skirt openings are very narrow, and walking is usually a small step, let alone riding a bicycle?Let alone stepping on the pedals on both sides to move around, Lin Qian's two feet seemed to be sealed, and there was no way to move too far away, and he couldn't straddle the sides of the crossbar at all.

Lin Qian couldn't believe it, and a box popped out of the top of his head, and the small Lin Qian inside stared at a pair of big round eyes, and pulled at the hem of his skirt in disbelief.

The combination of reality and pictures successfully broke Ying Zheng's defenses, and he suddenly let out a muffled laugh.

Lin Qian suddenly looked up at him: "Are you still laughing at me?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help himself when he saw the same big eyes, one big and one small, and burst out laughing immediately.

Seeing the contrast between Ying Zheng's and Lin Qian's expressions, the others all lowered their heads and laughed smugly.

Lin Qian was stunned, and after realizing it, he handed the bicycle to the Mohist disciple next to him, walked quickly to Ying Zheng, and covered his mouth angrily: "It's not that I don't know how to ride a bicycle, it's obviously a matter of clothes. What's so funny?"

Seeing her bold action, the others stopped laughing instantly, and looked at Lin Qian in astonishment.

Seeing this, the seven princesses looked at Lin Qian with eyes full of admiration and worry.

Lin Qian noticed that the others had stopped laughing, and subconsciously turned to look back, but she didn't want Ying Zheng to directly raise his hand to cover hers, which instantly attracted her attention back.

Ying Zheng's mouth was covered, but the smile in his eyes was still full.

He grabbed Lin Qian's hand and took it from his mouth. He smiled and said, "It's not that he can't ride a bicycle to make people laugh, but that someone who can't ride a bicycle has a suspicious expression on his face..."

As he spoke, Ying Zheng looked down at Lin Qian meaningfully.

Lin Qian glared at him angrily, and shook off his hand: [Wait, if you can't ride the bicycle, I will laugh at you loudly too! 】

Yingzheng grabbed her other hand with his backhand, leaned into her ear and smiled, "Who said that the widow must ride a bicycle?"

Lin Qian: "..."

She looked up at Ying Zheng.

The smile on Ying Zheng's face remained the same, but somehow it made people (especially Lin Qian) want to hit someone.

She was so angry that she couldn't even care about her calm image!

Lin Qian raised her foot and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Ying Zheng. Before she could ask, she heard him say, "Have someone send two bicycles to Xianyang Palace, and the rest of you..."

"Father," Princess Seven boldly said, "I also want one..."

Ying Zheng glanced at her, nodded casually, and then dragged Lin Qian away from the Mojia workshop.

Lin Qian struggled a few times but couldn't get away, so she had to leave with Ying Zheng.

After returning to the palace, Ying Zheng let go of Lin Qian's hand.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was in such a hurry to return to Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng saw her doubts, and said helplessly, "Naturally, you can't ride a bicycle in ordinary clothes, but I remember, didn't you specially have some riding clothes made by you for the convenience of your activities?"

Lin Qian paused, and instantly became happy: "I thought I had specially asked someone to make some modern clothes. Then I'm going to change."

Ying Zheng nodded: "The widow is waiting for you."

Lin Qian nodded with a smile, and immediately went to find out the riding clothes, and put them on after hiding behind the screen.

After a while, she came out.

With a horse-riding body and a ponytail fluttering above his head, the whole person looks heroic, and people can't look away when they see it.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, smiled and stepped forward to put his arms around Lin Qian's waist, bowed his head and kissed Lin Qian when he raised his head in a daze.

Lin Qian's eyes widened instantly.

Ying Zheng backed away, but his eyes were looking dangerously at her red lips from being kissed.

Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat when he saw him, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked towards the door: "You should change into your riding clothes too, I'll wait for you outside."

As he spoke, he turned and fled.

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian's back, his eyes softened instantly.

……

Soon, Ying Zheng rarely appeared in front of Lin Qian in riding clothes.

Lin Qian was pushing her bicycle on the ground bored, but when she heard footsteps, she raised her head and followed closely. Her eyes seemed to be glued to Ying Zheng's body, and she couldn't move away no matter what.

Lin Qian suddenly understood why Ying Zheng kissed herself suddenly——

Neither of them pay much attention to dressing up. Although they often change their clothes on weekdays, their overall feeling has never changed.Just like Lin Qian has always given people a gentle and capable image, Ying Zheng used to only give people a calm and domineering feeling.

But now that he has changed into his riding clothes, his whole person has become a bit more free and easy, as if the distance between him and others has been shortened suddenly.

Even Lin Qian, looking at Yingzheng's appearance before, was more concerned with his identity as the emperor. Although his speech and demeanor were as relaxed as possible, they still inevitably carried a bit of alienation and respect.

But looking at Ying Zheng today, there is only one thought in Lin Qian's mind——

The man in front of her is hers.

Lin Qian paused, walked quickly to Ying Zheng, raised her hand to hook his neck and pulled him towards Ying Zheng under his puzzled eyes, and kissed him directly.

After the kiss, she let go immediately and stepped back a few steps.

Facing Shang Yingzheng's eyes, Lin Qian smiled extraordinarily happily: "We're even~"

Lin Qian retreated to the side of the bicycle, regardless of Ying Zheng, stepped on the pedal with his left foot, and quickly kicked off the ground, and his whole body instantly "flyed" out like an arrow off the string.

But it might be because he hasn't touched a bicycle for too long, and Lin Qian wobbled a few times while riding it.

Ying Zheng had a smile on his face, but when he saw this, his expression changed suddenly, and he even took two steps forward to tell her to stop.

But at this moment, Lin Qian seemed to have regained his balance. Not only did he ride the bicycle more and more steadily, but a smile gradually appeared on his face.After two rounds of riding, she even boldly let go of the handle of the bicycle, opened her arms, and quickly "flyed" in front of Ying Zheng, rushing out of the palace.

Ying Zheng subconsciously chased after him, but only saw Lin Qian's back.

He looked back at the other bicycle and was about to go back, but he heard a burst of cheers coming from far and near.

Ying Zheng looked back and saw Lin Qian coming with open arms carrying the wind. He looked free and unrestrained, like a reborn bird that was about to jump into his arms.

He stopped and turned to look at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian came to Ying Zheng with a smile, braked immediately, jumped out of the car, and rushed over.

Ying Zheng subconsciously opened his arms and embraced Xiangfeng.

Lin Qian looked up with a smile: "Do you want to try?"

Ying Zheng looked down at Lin Qian, his eyes were so glued to her that he could hardly move his eyes away.

"it is good."

After a while, he heard himself say this.

==·divided·==

Lin Qian paused and exclaimed in an instant: "Are you serious? But didn't you say you couldn't ride a bicycle before?"

Ying Zheng came back to his senses, looked at Lin Qian and said with a smile, "Who made me so weak that I was fascinated by beauty?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and then said a little shyly: "Even if you praise me for being good-looking, I will laugh at you later if I don't ride well. I hold a grudge very much!"

Ying Zheng glanced at her, shook his head with a smile, and led her directly to the palace.

Lin Qian pushed him: "Wait a minute, my bicycle!"

Ying Zheng looked back at the bicycle that had been thrown on the grass beside the road, and smiled helplessly: "Come here, push Madam's bicycle in."

Lin Qian refused: "No, it's not that I don't have long..." hands.

She met Ying Zheng's gaze, paused, and finally compromised: "Okay, okay, let someone push the bicycle in, and I'll be with you."

Satisfied, Ying Zheng took Lin Qian's hand and walked in.

Immediately after they left, a servant went to help the bicycle up, and then slowly pushed it into the gate of the palace.

……

Ying Zheng imitated Lin Qian's movements, standing on the left side holding the handlebars with both hands, then stepped on the pedal with his left foot, pushed forward a few steps, and was ready to turn over and ride.

But he didn't want Ying Zheng to be unable to cross because of the handlebar shaking.

Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts all year round, and soon he stabilized and balanced.

Lin Qian was startled: "Why don't you stop riding? Anyway, you know how to ride a horse, and you don't mind riding in a carriage. There is no need to learn to ride a bicycle."

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian helplessly: "You just started learning, and you think I can't learn it? Don't you still want to laugh at me?"

Lin Qian paused, and said in a low voice, "But you have different identities, what if you fall and get injured?"

Lin Qian never doubted that Ying Zheng could not learn to ride a bicycle, but most people will inevitably fall a few times when they first learn to ride a bicycle, and then they can find their balance and ride freely.

If Yingzheng fell during this process, she would have committed a serious crime.

She thought for a while, then looked at Ying Zheng: "Or, I'll let Mo Jiajuzi add two small wheels on both sides of the rear wheel of your bicycle?"

It's safer that way.

Ying Zheng paused: "Add two small wheels?"

Lin Qian nodded and explained: "After adding two small wheels, a balance will be achieved between the front wheel and the two wheels, and people riding on it will not fall."

Generally, this kind of bicycle with small wheels is for children to ride. Adults want to learn but are worried about wrestling. Usually, a person with enough strength is allowed to control the back seat of the bicycle and let him help the opponent to master the balance.

but……

Lin Qian couldn't imagine Ying Zheng riding a bicycle, and someone needed to pull the back seat behind him.

Ying Zheng shook his head: "No need, I can do it myself."

As he spoke, he imitated Lin Qian's movements and got on the bike again. Then the bike swayed, and immediately began to drive forward crookedly.At the beginning, I could barely maintain my balance, but the good times didn't last long, and the bicycle quickly slanted in a certain direction...

Seeing that the bicycle was about to fall to the ground, Lin Qian opened her mouth wide in panic, almost blurting out an exclamation.

then……

Ying Zheng's two long legs landed on the ground, not only supporting himself, but also holding the handlebars with both hands, and steadily straightened the bicycle that was about to fall.

Lin Qian: "..."

She glanced at Yingzheng's long legs that could still be bent while sitting on the bicycle, and then at her own legs.

Ok……

[It feels really unnecessary to worry about him. 】

Ying Zheng turned around with helpless and funny eyes.

Lin Qian noticed Ying Zheng's gaze, raised her head and glared at him: "What are you looking at me for?"

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head, raised his right foot to step on the pedal, and just started riding like that.

He is really smart. He is good at summing up experience and has the foundation of martial arts. He quickly mastered the key points of riding a bicycle almost two or three times after landing, and then he can ride the bicycle in circles in a decent manner.

At the beginning, he could only make big circles, but gradually, he could make small circles, and even...

You can circle around Lin Qian now.

Moreover, his eyes never moved away from Lin Qian's body, apart from the almost overflowing smile, there was also a bit of complacency and banter hidden.

Lin Qian was a little annoyed at first, and wanted to grab him in the back seat.

But gradually, her eyes fell on Ying Zheng: such a young Ying Zheng is really attractive.

……

At this time, the servant suddenly came in from the entrance of the hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si, Tai Wei Wei Liao, Ting Wei Zhang Liang...see you!"

Ying Zheng stopped instantly, and looked towards the palace gate together with Lin Qian.

Several ministers including Li Si and Zhang Liang stood there, their eyes were subtle and their expressions were extremely awkward——

【Unexpectedly, His Majesty and Gu Fenghou were in this state when they were alone...】

Ying Zheng glanced at a few people and got off the bicycle.

After stopping, he nodded at several people, and pulled Lin Qian straight into the main hall.

Lin Qian froze for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to shake off Ying Zheng's hand.

Ying Zheng looked back at her, as if asking her why.

Lin Qian looked back at the ministers.

Li Si and the others noticed the small movements of the two of them. Now when they saw Lin Qian turning around, they all looked away in unison, or raised their heads or tilted their heads or lowered their heads. In short, they just didn't look at the two of them.

Lin Qian: "..."

【Don't worry, Your Majesty, we didn't see anything. 】

Ying Zheng: "..."

He glanced back at the minister, turned his head directly, and pulled Lin Qian into the door.

Lin Qian sighed lightly and simply ignored it.

【It's been seen anyway...】

After everyone sat down, Ying Zheng and Lin Qian went to the side hall to change their clothes before returning to the main hall.

After sitting down, Ying Zheng asked directly: "What's the matter, all my lovers, who came here today?"

Li Si hurriedly said, "Returning to Your Majesty, there is news from several major counties in Border Pass that the winter in Border Pass is extremely cold this year, and foreigners outside Border Pass may encounter a lot of snow this year, and life may be difficult."

Ying Zheng said in awe: "Has the grassland suffered a disaster?"

Li Si nodded: "Although no specific news has come out, there are many foreigners in Jiuyuan County and Longxi County in winter."

The winter in the grassland is much colder than that in the Central Plains. Generally speaking, those foreigners will only find a leeward place to settle down temporarily in most of the winter. They usually only feed some dry pastures hoarded in autumn, and they don’t wander around.

After all, it is difficult to determine the direction on the grassland, and the possibility of getting lost is greatly increased in winter due to the wind and snow.

And once you get lost, there is probably only one dead end.

Many foreigners can appear in the border cities in winter. It seems that the life of foreigners this year is really not easy.

Lin Qian thought for a while, and said: "Although we need to be prepared, it's better not to start a war indiscriminately. I heard Lin Mo mention that last winter and spring, the foreigners and the people of Longxi County, Jiuyuan County and other places The relationship has eased, and even if there is a disaster this year, not all foreigners will go south to plunder as in previous years."

Yes, not all of them.

Lin Qian was not so naive as to think that all foreigners would not go south to plunder.

Zhang Liang nodded: "That's true. Last year when I was traveling on the border, I saw many foreigners carrying cattle, sheep and wool to Jiuyuan County, Longxi County and other places to exchange food, and they did not directly rob."

After a pause, he said again, "If Your Majesty decides to attack foreigners, it would be a good excuse for them to go south to plunder; but if Your Majesty is not going to attack Huns, Yuezhi and other foreigners in the past two years, it is best not to provoke them." It is better to let those foreigners solve the internal troubles by themselves."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Liang: "What's the plan of Captain Ting?"

Zhang Liang thought about the wording: "Once the foreigners suffer disaster, some people will inevitably go south to plunder. But we don't necessarily need to confront them head-on, and tell those foreigners who come to the border to trade grain in winter that once they come to plunder If the number or number of groups of foreigners exceeds the number, the mutual market will be banned and transactions with foreigners will no longer be made.”

If such a regulation is promulgated in normal times, maybe no one would care, but in winter...

Although the foreigners who went south to plunder killed people, they would also be killed, and the chances of being killed were not even high.
