Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 299

Stopping in front of Yongning Palace, Zhu Biao leaned on the stone railing to watch Xu Miaowei and Jin'er kick shuttlecock, the master and servant cooperated quite tacitly.

Seeing Zhu Biao, she put down the shuttlecock and stood there: "What are you doing there with the shuttlecock, Your Highness has eaten?"

"Not yet." Zhu Biao stepped forward and took the feather shuttlecock in her hand: "Gu will go to Changle Hall for dinner tonight."

"Oh, let's go." Xu Miaowei took the shuttlecock and threw it to Jin'er and the others. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's up to you to decide this kind of thing. Anyway, the person who keeps you can't keep your heart."

"There is chaos in Liaodong, Miaowei." Zhu Biao said standing beside him.

"It's just a flash in the pan. They are brutal and vicious, burning, killing and looting. They are not a sacred army, but bandits and robbers. Bandits and robbers can do so much. It's just a matter of time and sending troops."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Aren't you angry when you go to Changle Hall alone?"

"Huh? Why are you angry? Sister Chang is pregnant, so she should go and see more. If His Highness doesn't care about you, I will look down on you instead."

Seeing them having fun, Zhu Biao walked towards Changle Hall.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, all cooked according to Chang Meirong's taste, and Yu'er was very considerate in serving her.

"According to the imperial doctor's calculation, it's going to be June." Chang Meirong said suddenly while bringing vegetables to Zhu Biao.

"Gu also asked, but when it comes to pregnancy in October, everyone's time will always be a little different. Please wait at ease. It's warm, and it's good for you and the child to let Yu'er go out for a walk with you."

When the two of them were eating, Chang Meirong said that Lao Zhu and Empress Ma had sent a lot of supplements to them, and they couldn't finish them all, and a lot of them were wasted.

"If you can't finish eating, send someone to give some to Wang Fengyi and the others. After all, she is lonely."

"Yes, the concubine made it down." Chang knew that the Wang Fengyi Zhu Biao was talking about was Minmin Timur, so she nodded.

……

For Zhu Biao, he didn't particularly miss his prince and grand master going to various places to slaughter Fengshui.Lao Zhu took care of the major issues, and left the trivial matters to Zhan Shifu and Wenhua Palace, and he had more time to go to the National Scholars Academy to oversee the work.

Chang Meirong was also going, so Zhu Biao simply took her to the National Academy of Scholars.

Tao Chengdao is arranging to go to Liaodong to familiarize the craftsmen of the new landmines. He has both the Military Weapons Bureau and the Firearms Battalion making them to keep up with combat needs.

Zhu Biao helped Chang Meirong go in, and Tao Chengdao led people to greet him immediately: "I have met His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess."

"Let's take a look alone." Zhu Biao said to the Three Treasures with his hands behind his back, "Help the Crown Princess well."

Both sides of the front yard are covered with thick wax, and the yard is clearly illuminated. Two wooden frames like black towers are placed in the yard.

"what is this."

"Back to the prince, this is the wooden soldier." Next to him were two handsome young men.

"you are?"

"Return to Your Highness, Mo Yun, Mo Ling." Tao Chengdao came over, "Heir of the Mo family."

"Mohist? Rare." Zhu Biao approached and found that the black tower was two wooden figures, similar to the shape of the mechs of later generations, but made of wood.

Seeing that Zhu Biao liked it, Mo Yun and Mo Ling introduced the mortise and tenon structure to Zhu Biao.
"Using the connection method of concave and convex parts. The protruding part is called tenon (mortise), and the concave part is called tenon (tenon). The ingenious use of this structure, the wooden gears are occluded and pushed... etc., the wooden armor can move. Get up." Mo Yun explained.

"In addition to the mortise and tenon structure, we used the ancestral Mohist mechanism to make it. It is two feet high and can accommodate two soldiers in the body for operation."

There are two gun barrels wrapped in iron sheets at the arms of the wooden armor, and gunpowder is placed inside. As long as the safety is ensured and the operation is correct, the power of the firecracker can be achieved.

There are dense arrow holes in the legs of the wooden man. As long as the arrow holes are turned to open, the feathered arrows will be launched with the help of the thrust of the wooden wheel.It happened to be the general height of soldiers.

Zhu Biao took Chang Meirong, followed by Mo Yun and Mo Ling.

"I heard that the Mohist family has an investigative wooden mandarin duck? It took three years to fail in one day, is it true or not?" Zhu Biao knew that the heirs of the Mohist family are rarely seen nowadays, which is really rare.

Mo Yun: "Yes, it's just that it takes a long time not to make a wooden mandarin duck. You can overlook the enemy army during the battle, and it will fly in the sky for a day before it falls."

Zhu Biao: "The land and water armies often have to practice. The Mohists have a military training puppet that imitates various attack methods and can train actual combat capabilities. Will you do this?"

Mo Ling was full of confidence: "It takes three years to make a wooden kite, but a training puppet can be made very quickly."

Hearing Mo Ling's answer, Zhu Biao glanced at the two Lu Mujias: "They all focus on defense, and it would be nice to have a counter-attack shooting machine."

Then Mo Ling and Mo Yun talked about a ballista capable of shooting sixty arrows, which can be used to attack places where the main force of the enemy army gathers, and a chariot that projects carbon fire. This kind of chariot is wrapped in iron.

Zhu Biao nodded: "But what Gu needs most now is to build straight roads, make some large-capacity, time-saving and labor-saving wooden vehicles, and rammed earth tools.

It is best to use the principle of your Mohist mechanism to push a huge stone mill and let it compact the soil foundation of the straight road. Therefore, if you make this thing, you will be rewarded for your loneliness. "

Chang said: "It's better to draw what His Highness said now and let them do it. It will be faster this way."

Zhu Biao nodded, and asked Sanbao to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and drew a "road roller".

He doesn't care if it looks good or not, he just hopes that Mo Yun Mo Ling can make something that pushes the stone mill, saving time and effort for building straight roads.

"I just ask you, can you make it?"

"Yes, as long as there are pictures." Mo Yun and Mo Ling nodded.

The doctors in the backyard heard that the prince and princess came to inspect, and asked questions that they didn't understand yesterday.

"Your Highness, we still haven't figured out why the pot of cold water has been left for half a month, and red worms will grow out of it. Obviously there was nothing at that time."

Zhu Biao didn't explain immediately, but only told them about the penicillin that he had told them before, and then slowly mentioned the aquatic insects.

"The pot of water with red worms is the water that you don't usually burn. After a long time, the invisible eggs in the water will turn into small red worms.

This is invisible to the eye and requires a special microscope to see. "Zhu Biao said.

"Your Highness, why don't we build a microscope." The doctors were puzzled.

"I can't make it now, but you have to remember that raw water can't be drunk directly. If you don't let you see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it." Zhu Biao pointed to the basin of water: "Make a record, just throw it away .”

"Your Highness, the silver tube you ordered is already ready. I don't know what to do with it?" The doctor brought the silver tube made by Li Guan. It was as thick as ten embroidery needles, and it was empty in the middle.

"Did you cook it in boiling water and dry it according to Gu's instructions?" Zhu Biao asked.

"His Royal Highness, we all asked the silversmith to make ten of them according to your instructions. The hole in the middle of the silver tube was inspired by Tao Zhangyuan based on the fire blunderbuss, and it is very tight."

This can bring back to life a person who has lost too much blood, and bring it back to the palace. "Keep it well. The National Academy of Scholars will keep eight silver tubes, and the remaining two will be installed for Gu." Zhu Biao ordered Sanbao.

Seeing that it was not early, he walked outside the Academy of Scholars. Lu Zhong brought a few Jinyi guards and stood outside waiting in his servant's clothes.
