Su Changan looked back at Xia Fengxiang.
Although there was confusion in Xia Fengxiang's eyes, he did not ask anything. Instead, he signaled Su Changan to continue chatting and not to bother himself.
Su Changan smiled.
This silly girl doesn't even know what I'm doing for her.
Sea shipping, sea shipping.
Sea transportation is unimpeded, and being one step ahead on ships means a lot of money.
If everything goes well and we become the overlord of the sea, that would be even more amazing.
However, Su Changan didn't want to think about this. After all, the ship hadn't been built yet, so it was too early to think about it.
The following things are actually some small things and small items, which are just convenient things.
The only thing that could be considered of great use was the improvement of the textile machine, but Su Changan knew nothing about textile machines and could only explain a few things. Even if Su Changan hadn't explained it, the drawing wouldn't have looked like a textile machine at all, so Zhu Mianlu and the others still needed to think about the details.
But even this sounded very solemn to Luban and Zhu Mian, because it was one thing for everything to be new and interesting, but if improvements like textile machines could really be made, they would be a weapon that would benefit the country and the people! So they did not dare to underestimate it and wrote them down one by one.
Even Mu Xu was very surprised when he heard this.
Looking at Su Changan's eyes, there was disbelief. He knew that Su Changan always had some creative ideas to create some little things.
But this is more interesting than the other, and some things are more convenient in life.
For example, for him, the foldable bench is very convenient. If he doesn't want to listen to the nagging of the people below, he can just take it to a warm place to bask in the sun and take a nap. It is comfortable.
So, when he looked at Su Changan, he felt as if he had to get to know Su Changan all over again.
Especially the sentence just now, 'Maritime transportation has far-reaching benefits', which made Mu Xu look at Su Changan and feel that this person has a very long-term vision!
Because regarding the issue of sea transportation, the late emperor had planned to proceed gradually, and even said, "Daxia is a place that is conducive to trade between all nations."
It’s a pity that the late emperor died young.
Moreover, when Mu Xu was listening to Su Changan's introduction, he also thought of the things he mentioned first, the muskets. He didn't know what they were, but they were obviously invented for Daxia.
Therefore, there was even more respect in their eyes when they looked at Su Changan, because they did not expect that Su Changan had done so much for Daxia within his ability.
Xia Fengxiang listened to Su Changan saying these things. At first he would think about these things on his own, but later he just stared at Su Changan.
She discovered.
Su Changan looked particularly good today, completely different from his usual look of wanting to be punished.
Especially when she saw Mu Xu, Zhu Mian and Luban looking at Su Changan with increasingly stronger respect in their eyes, her face was filled with pride!
why!
This is her queen!
Such an outstanding person is hers!
Until the end, Su Changan briefly talked about the steam engine, but Lu Ban and Zhu Mian were a little confused. Steam as a power source.
They had never even thought about it, especially the word "motivation", which was the first time they heard it.
However, the two of them are proficient in this, so they can feel that if this thing can really be developed, it will be amazing, just like a waterwheel that uses the power of water flow to draw water for irrigation, which is very convenient for the people!
So I didn't dare to neglect it and wrote it down on paper.
but
The two of them were suddenly stunned.
The two of them seemed to have thought of something at the same time and couldn't help laughing.
Then Lu Ban shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I came here today just to disturb Miss Chang'an and ask about the musket, but I didn't expect Miss Chang'an to hear these things, and each of them is extremely convenient for the people. Some things are even beyond common sense, but they sound feasible. Please accept my greetings."
Zhu Mian also stood up and bowed deeply to Su Changan.
Su Changan stood up and returned the greeting: "Thank you for your help, gentlemen."
Su Changan knew that there were steam engines and other things in it, but it was actually a bit early to talk about it, but the sooner such things were talked about, the better. After all, it is better to study them earlier than later.
Well, since he was here today, he might as well tell them everything. Whether it can be made depends on these two and other master craftsmen.
Lu Ban and Zhu Mian were obsessed with studying muskets and artillery, and actually hadn't come out for a long time. Today, after hearing so many interesting and even incredible things from Su Changan, they had been itching to go out and were thinking about going back to talk to their colleagues about it.
Xia Fengxiang knew that the two were anxious to go back, so he let them go back first.
Wait until Lu Ban and Zhu Mian walk out of Lingqi Pavilion.
Mu Xu immediately stood up and said to Su Changan.
Chapter 144 My father-in-law once wanted to destroy Japan
"I turned into Chang'e and descended to the ninth heaven. It is really a good marriage that was predestined. Even if jackals bark, real dragons and red phoenixes spit. Today, I saw the painting of your majesty and Miss Chang'an together. I was deeply moved. I felt that it was really a match made in heaven. Especially your majesty is so powerful and Miss Chang'an is so smart. No one can compare to you. Hey! Seeing you two standing here, I was so moved that I couldn't help but write a poem."
Mu Xu said this and took a step back, his face full of emotion.
After that, he looked at Su Changan and said, "The most important thing is, after listening to the speech of Miss Changan and the two masters, I feel that Miss Changan is really a banished immortal. After all, she can invent so many good things, especially when I heard that many of them are national treasures of Daxia. I was excited, but then I thought, wow, such a talented immortal, why is she a banished immortal! Isn't this insulting! How could such an extraordinary talent be demoted to the mortal world? It should be Miss Changan who came down to the mortal world to help Daxia prosper and to be with His Majesty."
Xia Fengxiang couldn't listen any longer and interrupted Mu Xu directly: "Master Jijiu."
Mu Xu was stunned for a moment, and saw Xia Fengxiang looking at him helplessly. He immediately smiled, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked at Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan sincerely.
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu. Although he knew what kind of person this old man was, he didn't know what to say because he flattered him without blushing or feeling nervous. He even composed a somewhat doggerel-like flattering poem.
But at that moment, seeing Mu Xu looking at him sincerely, it was as if he was saying, "What I just said was all from the bottom of my heart."
Su Changan deeply understood what Xia Fengxiang once said to him, 'Mu Xu, sometimes I really want someone to beat him up!'
Mu Xu looked at the expressions of Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang and chuckled: "Then how about I just get straight to the point?"
Having said this, Mu Xu took the box and opened it. Inside was an ancient jade pendant.
After Mu Xu picked it up, he pressed it lightly, and the two jade pendants separated into two, and then put them back together.
The carvings on the jade pendant are in the style of dragon and phoenix, which represent good luck. Although the jade pendant is made of bluish-white jade, it has a long history and some patina is present on it, which is just right in the eyes of the dragon and phoenix and some places on their bodies. Therefore, this bluish-white jade ring jade pendant with dragon and phoenix patterns is even more lifelike.
After the display, Mu Xu put the jade pendant back into the brocade box, then looked at Su Changan and said, "The dragon and phoenix pattern jade pendant is almost hundreds of years old. I don't ask for poetry, I just ask Miss Changan to give lectures at the Imperial Academy. It won't be much, just one class will be fine."
Having said that, Mu Xu bowed deeply to Su Changan again.
Su Changan was stunned. He glanced at Xia Fengxiang who was smiling behind him. After a helpless smile, he looked at Su Changan and said, "Master Jijiu, you are joking. Changan knows his literary talent best. It's okay to write poems and pretend to be romantic, but it's really not possible to give lectures."
Mu Xu frowned and looked at Su Changan: "I have a good temper, but I can't listen to Miss Changan talking about me like this."
Then, Mu Xu immediately put on a playful smile and said, "Besides, you can see that I can give a lecture even though I am like this. I just go up there and say a few words. You can do it even better. And if the young lady doesn't go, I won't be able to explain myself. You don't know how much those students admire you now. And as for the lecture, it's not my fault. It was that old bastard Yao Yuanzai who didn't understand a part of the Dream of the Red Chamber you wrote, and he sighed and said, "It would be great if you were here."
"His words were nothing, but the students started asking me to invite you to give lectures. Some even said it would be great if you could be a guest teacher at the Imperial College. I couldn't believe it. Who are you to be a guest teacher at the Imperial College? I scolded them!"
"But this is because there are so many children who admire your extraordinary talent. Even those students who came from other places to study begged me to come and try. I have no choice but to come to you to talk. Moreover, you have rejected me twice, and Yao Yuanzai heard it. But when he went back, he said that I was not sincere enough. So this is not a gift for me to come to see you?"
Su Changan listened to Mu Xu's eloquent talk. After listening to it, he realized that the reason why Mu Xu came to Su Changan for lectures was not innocent but was forced to do so. It was all because of the students of the Imperial College and Master Yao.
Su Changan looked back at Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything, just looked at Su Changan. His meaning was very simple, let Su Changan make his own decision.
After thinking for a while, Su Changan looked at Mu Xu and said, "Teaching is a serious matter. I cannot teach the students. And I absolutely cannot serve as a guest scholar, but if I go to the Imperial Academy to chat with the students, that's fine."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu said in a serious tone, "The Queen is chatting and negotiating with the students in the Imperial College. What a wonderful conversation. Our Great Xia has another wonderful conversation!"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, "Master Jijiu, do you want me to refuse?"
Mu Xu shook his head: "Miss, please don't say that. I speak from the bottom of my heart."
After saying that, Mu Xu looked at Su Changan and asked, "Is this matter settled? As for the date, I need to check the day. Such a beautiful talk must be held on a good day, otherwise those people would not be qualified to do it!"
Su Changan nodded helplessly.
Seeing that Su Changan agreed, Mu Xu smiled, then bowed deeply to Su Changan: "Thank you, Queen."
Then, he looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I'll take my leave."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Go back and tell Yang Shanchang that he should apologize in the future. Don't beat around the bush. Let him come directly. This will also save him two white fox green bamboo pens."
Mu Xu smiled awkwardly, he didn't think His Majesty couldn't see it, as expected, didn't he see that he was the one who gave the dragon and phoenix ring for Yang Shanchang?
Xia Fengxiang continued, "Yang Wangshu has a two-story shop in Yuguifang. Let Yang Wangshu take it and give it to Su Liheng personally. My brother-in-law has always wanted to open a hot pot shop. I think the location and size of that shop are just right."
Mu Xu smiled and bowed, saying, "Yes."
Then, Xia Fengxiang allowed Mu Xu to leave.
Mu Xu smiled and bowed to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, then turned and left.
But just as he turned around, he immediately turned around and looked at Su Changan with a smug look and said that he remembered that Lingqi Pavilion was not like this before. Now that the Queen has moved in, it is really unique, not only elegant, but also has a fairy-like aura. Finally, he asked if the Queen had any unwanted literary waste, and he would help throw it away when he left.
Xia Fengxiang couldn't bear it any longer and just said "get out".
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu said "Okay" and immediately trotted out of Lingqi Pavilion.
This look is nothing like the current Prime Minister or Chief Academician.
However, the Lord Chief Priest was very happy about this.
After leaving Lingqi Pavilion, the hunchbacked old man walked slowly, thinking about the things Su Changan had just invented, and also thinking about what Su Changan and Zhu Mianluban had said.
The old man smiled.
Ever since Miss Chang'an appeared, His Majesty has changed, Luoan has changed, and even Daxia seems to be changing.
However, when thinking about this, the old man suddenly thought of the muskets and cannons, and wondered what on earth they were.
……
The meeting in Lingqi Pavilion was over, and Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang sat side by side in the hall.
Xia Fengxiang held up the pair of dragon and phoenix rings, which sparkled brightly in the sunlight.
After looking at it for a while, Xia Fengxiang put the jade ring back into the box.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Take it."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan in shock for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "Are you willing to give up something worth hundreds of thousands of taels?"
Su Changan frowned: "Xia Qingge, I am yours now, why would you be reluctant to let me go?"
