I became popular all over the Internet after hugging the waste prince's thigh

In the past year, Emperor Yongning sent his Tai Tuo to visit the thatched cottage three times in Qiongzhou, hoping to invite King An out, but instead of bringing the prince back, the Tai Tuo returned to his hometown to spend his life in Qiongzhou.

He didn't understand.What's so good about Qiongzhou being the land of the ends of the earth?

It just so happened that this year there were two more generals with outstanding achievements in the army. They came from the Zhong family, the grandfather's family of the prince.The frontiers of the Ning Dynasty were stable, and Emperor Yongning wanted to go abroad in a low service.

Not only did he want to go to Jiangnan, but he also went to Qiongzhou to see what treasures Tai Tu would never forget.

……

On the coast of Qiongzhou, the first steamship of the Ning Dynasty officially launched into the sea. The big ship sailed steadily on the sea for half an hour, and the workers on the river bank cheered.

"We made it!"

"Steamboat! We finally researched the first steamship in Ning Dynasty!"

He Qi reported to the prince with joy on his face.

"My lord, the Ping An is 45 meters long, 9 meters wide, and has a displacement of 100 tons. We use a single-cylinder condensing steam engine to drive it. The current test has a maximum travel time of 32 hours and has completed a 130 nautical mile upstream voyage."

Qiaoerya asked next to him, "How many kilometers is 130 nautical miles?"

He Qi replied without hesitation: "About 240 kilometers."

She praised from the bottom of her heart: "You are so powerful, you have researched the steamship in less than two years."

Congratulations Shu said slowly: "All this is due to the trust of the prince. We have failed three times before, and everyone feels hopeless. The prince told us that every failure is accumulation, so we have to persevere."

Qiao Liya smiled lightly: "You are very powerful in your own right, the prince is just Bo Le, and the Maxima is good enough to be discovered by Bo Le."

Everyone praised each other, but no one found the big ship of Emperor Yongning.

"What is that dark thing?"

Several ministers accompanied Emperor Yongning on his private visit this time.

"This... old minister is stupid."

Emperor Yongning took out the telescope, which was the treasure he wanted from the Taifu's house.

"There are boatmen on it, it looks like a big ship, but why is it such a color?"

Someone said: "Could it be the big ship researched by His Royal Highness?"

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"The old minister heard that His Royal Highness is researching something called a steamboat. It is said that it can burn fire and smoke to make the boat travel faster than ordinary large boats. It is very convenient if you want to go to the surrounding coastal areas."

Emperor Yongning put down the binoculars: "Steam? Could it be the white mist on the steamer? Why does this thing allow the boat to move?"

The minister hastily cupped his hands: "The old minister is dull."

"Okay, okay, since you are traveling with me, don't be foolish at every turn, and you don't have to be frightened when you go out, just treat it as an ordinary monarch and minister traveling, and I am not a foolish king who will beheaded at every turn."

The ministers dare not say anything. Although you are not a faint king, you hold grudges.

Emperor Yongning was looking forward to it. If there is such a thing, wouldn't it be able to develop the shipping of the Ning Dynasty?He has long coveted a powerful flower-growing country. If Ning Chao developed shipping, he might be able to plunder more treasures.

But his dream was doomed.

Emperor Yongning asked, "Why are the local houses in Qiongzhou so ugly?"

A minister stood up: "Report to Your Majesty, this is a house made of cement. Qiongzhou has rainstorms and sea waves every year. The cement house is as hard as a rock and is not afraid of storms, even earthquakes."

Emperor Yongning nodded: "Although it is a bit ugly, it is quite useful."

The ministers agreed one after another.

The people on the steam ship saw the luxurious ship of Emperor Yongning.But because the boat of the richest man in the Shen family often goes to the island, they are not surprised.

The boatmen were all natives of Qiongzhou, no one had seen the true face of Emperor Yongning, let alone thought that the emperor would come to their island.

Emperor Yongning was displeased: "Why are these people so rude?"

The minister's forehead was dripping with sweat: "Your Majesty, those boatmen should be local people in Qiongzhou, how can they recognize the true face of the Son of Heaven?"

Emperor Yongning felt much more at ease.

When the boat docked, Xiao Jinyou and Qiaoelya had already left the beach ahead of schedule.

They still have business to do, which is to go to the Taifu's class.

Qiaoelya originally thought that she could be regarded as a high-achieving student after graduating from university, but Taifu gave her a few words and immediately revealed her true colors.

She couldn't say that the classes she took were different from Ning Chao's. The Tai Tu probably also guessed that she was from the flower-growing country, so he asked her to learn Ning Chao's knowledge so as not to reveal her secrets when she became a queen in the future.

There is no way, to be a queen you have to train yourself to be a talented woman, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also read poetry and books. The selection criteria for queens in the Ning Dynasty are all like this.Fortunately, there is no need to learn from female celebrities, otherwise she will really collapse.

As for why Xiao Jinyou has to go to class, it is even more sad.Since he was able to travel through time and space, he hasn't looked through the classics in the study room, and his level is still at the time when he left the capital.

He is very wronged, because his mind is full of key knowledge from modern times, and his thinking and comprehension ability are more active than before. This is influenced by modern knowledge, but in the eyes of the Taifu, he has become a waste of schoolwork. .

So the future emperor and empress husband and wife were forced to study together in the classroom. If you don't study, you can't do it. In Qiongzhou, only the Taifu can suppress the prince. The majesty of the Taifu makes everyone dare not speak.

Xiao Jinyou's foundation is still there anyway, and for the first time Qiaoelya felt that she was illiterate, and she finally understood how helpless Xiao Jinyou was when he came into contact with modern knowledge.

Traditional Chinese characters have undergone a process of evolution, and the traditional Chinese characters of the Ning Dynasty are not the same as the later ones, and it can even be said to have nothing to do with them.

The reason why Xiao Jinyou can learn quickly is that he is used to traditional characters, just like a dialect speaker learning Mandarin.

But letting her, who is used to simplified Chinese characters, read traditional Chinese characters was an old crime. When she opened the textbook, she became dizzy and began to feel sleepy.

Qiaoerya was laying on the desk, and she wrote another piece of paper: "Can you promote simplified Chinese characters when you become emperor?"

I don't want to learn this traditional Chinese character for a day. Let her occasionally practice calligraphy as a way to cultivate her sentiments. Copying ancient texts every day is really terrible.

Xiao Jinyou rubbed her head: "Okay, I also think simplified characters are more convenient to write, it looks concise and clear."

The corner of the Taifu's mouth twitched: "You two have great ambitions. How long did it take for the first emperor to unify the characters? You want to promote new fonts before you become emperor?"

Qiaoerya was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Tutor, and Xiao Jinyou half hugged her in his arms.

"Teacher, you have seen simplified characters before, so let's take the simplest one. Writing in simplified characters saves time and effort, and saves pen, ink and paper."

Taifu stroked his beard: "With your paper mill, are you afraid that scholars can't afford pens and paper?"

"Teacher, this is different. The emergence of papermaking is only to reduce the burden on more readers. Saving a piece of paper may allow you to learn one more article. The promotion of simplified characters is more conducive to popularization of education, allowing people from the age of 50 to the young A three-year-old child can know a thousand characters."

The Taifu was skeptical: "Is it really for the queen?" He just heard the whole process.

Xiao Jinyou did not deny: "There is part of the reason, but it is more because I express my future ambitions to you." Promoting Arabic numerals, promoting simplified characters, and popularizing education for the people are all things he wants to do.

Tai Tu's attitude eased: "As long as you do things that benefit the world and the people, I have no objection, but have you two finished copying your homework today?"

Xiao Jinyou: ...

Jorya immediately sat down and made up her homework.
