Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Eight days later, the Holy Master on his northern tour was about to arrive at Guihua City.

From Masika and Haifeng to the laborers responsible for cleaning the streets in Xincheng, they are all working hard.Qibele sometimes even went to Kill the Tiger's Pass twice a day to supervise the garrison's drill progress.

Although the imperial edict clearly states that it should be as simple as possible, the residence of the king of a country cannot be careless.General Masika entrusted all matters in the palace to the fourth princess, and took charge of other matters on the day of the arrival.

Haifeng thought that all these things were put together, and they were not worth her effort. She asked Aunt Sai Lun and Shu Tai to take charge of it, and she only acted as the mascot of the mountain, sitting in the main hall of the palace. Focus on the new drawings handed over by Huang Luzhuang.

This man is really a genius.

After preparing the test site and materials, Huang Luzhuang seemed to have entered a kind of crazy and selfless state. He had to be forced by someone every day before he would eat or sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he would endlessly draw pictures and make samples.Qibele and Dobu worked double shifts to supervise the hired carpenters and blacksmiths, making constant corrections according to the drawings until the desired effect was achieved.

At present, Huangluzhuang has completed all three requirements put forward by Haifeng ahead of schedule, and has also designed several equipment for transporting bricks, stones and wood to the city wall.Huang Luzhuang couldn't wait for a moment, so he came to the palace in person and asked Haifeng if he had any other tasks.

So, with the mentality of giving it a try, Haifeng told him orally what a steam engine looked like that appeared in history textbooks.

"It doesn't matter if you can't make it. I only have a rough idea of ​​this thing. It's almost the pressure cooker you've seen me use, right?"

"I've seen it before! I'm really impressed by the grassroots! You can save half of the firewood and still make food."

"Okay, there's no need to bother flattering. I know you're not good at this. I'm talking about a pressure cooker to explain to you what a steam engine looks like. When the pressure cooker cooks something, when you pick up the valve, there's nothing going on. A pillar of air suddenly rushed out from the pot lid?"

"Yes!"

"That's the air column! I want to make the pressure cooker several times larger than it is now, but the valve remains the same. The strength of the air column should be increased several times, right? At the top, put A lightweight stopper that can move. The stopper is pushed by the air column and will keep beating upward."

Huang Luzhuang understood what the fourth princess meant, but he couldn't understand what use this thing could be put to.

"The things the princess asked the common people to make are all for the construction of the new city. Even if the common people make this, won't the new city be built?"

"The city that I want to build is not limited to this one. The Mobei grasslands are not rich in products and manpower is not enough. After thinking about this, even if the workers digging the soil are not gathered together, as long as there is coal and water, we can still start the construction."

Huang Luzhuang went there without knowing anything about it. After thinking about it for two days, the drawing he handed over was the one Haifeng was holding in his hand.

The drawing was very clear. Huang Luzhuang knew exactly what kind of equipment he was designing, and even envisioned the usage scenario: rice pounding.

The other end of the beating piston is connected to the stone mortar.

Every time the piston does upward work, the wooden pestle at the other end will fall down, and so on. The rice pounding that originally required manpower or animal power can be completed using the power of steam. As long as there is someone watching next to it, be careful to take out the pounded rice. , then add unhulled brown rice.

Haifeng searched frantically in his mind to see how he could improve this crude steam engine with the little knowledge of physics and mechanics he had left.

According to the current situation, if the water in the boiler runs out, it will have to be refilled. Huang Luzhuang wrote on the side of the drawing: "Water vapor can turn into water droplets when it meets the pot lid."However, the common people are at a loss as to how to bring it back into the furnace.Ask the princess for advice. '

Haifeng thought about today from yesterday and almost didn't sleep at night. His mind was filled with this matter. Unfortunately, there was no progress at all.

When the book is in use, I hate less!

Ah Xiang, who was guarding outside the palace, became angry and anxious when he saw his master being so troubled. Therefore, when Fugui came in to ask for an audience, Ah Xiang did not give him a good look.

"If it's not an urgent matter, master, let's talk about it when you're free. I had a bowl of fresh milk tea when I got up early, saying that I couldn't eat anything else. It's already past noon, and I don't even dare to bring food into the room for fear of disturbing me. Master. How big a deal can you do? Are you ahead of the queue for dinner, Master?" Fugui and Axiang have known each other for many years, and he knew that she didn't mean it at this moment. She was just worried about the princess, so she begged for mercy with a smile.

"Don't be upset, girl. When the master hears this person coming, he will come out to greet him. When he comes out, let's mention it again. The guest comes from afar, so he must give a banquet, right? Master, why don't you use some? In this way, the master said No, but I’m willing to take a few bites.”

A Xiang calmed down after hearing the truth.

"Are you from the capital? Who is so shameless?"

"It's not the capital, it's Jiangnan. The one that people love and hate, Gao Shiqi, Gao Xueshi."

"what?"

Axiang was so surprised that she was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses and asked.

"He, why did he come to Guihua City? Didn't his last letter say that his condition has finally stabilized and that it would be best to rest for a long time?"

"Who says it's not the case? Just when I should be resting and recuperating, I suddenly ran over and asked to see my master. Girl, please go in and ask."

A Xiang hurriedly entered the hall to report, and soon trotted out.

"You go and pass Gao Shiqi to the side hall to wait. I'll go to the kitchen and pass the dishes. The master said he would eat some snacks with him. By the way, on the way out, go to the sewing room and call Qing'er back. The master can't be in a relationship with him. .”

When Qing'er arrived in a hurry, Haifeng took matters into his own hands, tidying up the drawings, pens and ink one by one, and didn't plan to change clothes.

"We are all old acquaintances. It doesn't matter if we don't change. Is there any news from you?"

"When the slave came in, he heard something in a daze, saying that he was invited to the old city by General Masika. If the master wants to know more about it, the slave will ask more carefully."

"No need. Just ask someone to go to me and ask him to send a few experts to protect Gao Shiqi. Nowadays is different from the past. I always suspect that there is Sibeile's spy in the palace. He is not a character who shrinks easily. This time It's so easy to admit defeat that I can't let go."

Who is the mole who leaked the news? The capital has actually found out.

The Thirteenth Brother, like the Seventh Belle, has a pure nature and is still young. Haifeng was not surprised that he would try to win over the Fourth Belle.

If you want to blame, you should blame yourself for thinking that you are sure of victory, and then underestimate the enemy, and arrange things carefully enough.

Gao Shiqi, are you here to call for punishment?

After all, he had bet on himself over the years and spent nearly a million taels of silver to build a fine network of officials in the capital. When the time was right, he would return to the capital and reach the top. The high position of a minister.

However, when Haifeng, who was slightly depressed, walked into the side hall, Gao Shiqi who greeted her did not mean to blame her at all.

On the contrary, he was excited.

"Your Highness the Fourth Princess, isn't our opportunity coming now?"

Starting from the next chapter, the entire trend will enter a state of "acceleration", and some historical events will occur in advance.
