There were obviously many more pedestrians on the road than before. Only then did Song Qingyue remember that Qiu Wei's exam was about to start.

Students from the Gyeonggi area rushed into the capital from the North Zhili area, so the city became increasingly lively.

Especially this alley, which is in a remote location, has cheap house rents, and has a lot of people.

Looking at the hurried pedestrians coming and going, the guards took the initiative to step forward and stand in front of the Crown Princess to prevent her from being bumped into.

But in this way, they blocked the originally not spacious alley until only a very narrow passage remained.

Song Qingyue felt that she was causing trouble to everyone by wandering around like this, so she got on the carriage after exiting the alley. She originally wanted to go back to the palace directly, but seeing so many scholars on the street, she thought that her fifth brother Song Chenfei also had to take an exam.

I really want to go back to my parents’ house to see her.

It was actually quite rude to come directly to the door without handing over the message. In view of her status, it would be hard to say anything even if the servants in the Song Mansion were a little flustered by her sudden visit.

Mrs. Liang was quite happy to see her and asked about the current situation of the palace.

"It's nothing, it's still like that." Song Qingyue said casually, "What's wrong with Ah Fei? He has an exam in a few days, right?"

Mrs. Liang was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Thankfully you still think about him. He is in the academy."

Now it was Song Qingyue's turn to be surprised: "Won't my father and his two brothers ask him to come back and start a small stove in advance?"

Mr. Liang shook his head and said: "Your father, my brothers have been busy recently. Your father said: 'If Qiu Wei can't handle it himself, he should stop thinking about the imperial examination as soon as possible. He will be a waste if he passes the exam. Just help the family take care of things."

Take care of the general affairs!'"

Mr. Liang imitated Mr. Song's tone to the letter. Song Qingyue choked her tea, burst out laughing, nodded in agreement: "What my father said is, how can all the members of a family be officials? No other family can produce two Jinshi."

For those who burn high-end incense, our family also has a father and son who are looking for flowers, which is enough."

This made Mrs. Liang feel comfortable listening to her words. She raised the corners of her mouth and said, "It's just that Aunt Qiu is unwilling to give in."

Due to a quarrel with the direct branch of the Song family, Song Chenfei dropped out of the Song family school and studied at Shoushan Academy in the suburbs of Beijing.

Shoushan Academy has several great scholars of the time, and several gentlemen have become official officials. It can be regarded as the leading academy among the more than 20 academies in the capital.

When Song Chenfei entered school, he attracted a lot of attention. The headmaster of the academy even personally received the young master from Songge's hometown.

With a father as talented as Mr. Song Ge and two brothers who were no less impressive, Song Chenfei was in disrepute when he first entered school. The old gentlemen in the academy were vying to accept him as a disciple.

However, one year later, apart from being relatively diligent, Song Chenfei seemed to have only mediocre talents, which greatly disappointed the scholars who had great expectations for him at the beginning.

No wonder the Song Clan Academy was willing to let him go to another academy. There really is no such thing as a good apprentice in the world!

During this year, Song Chenfei endured tremendous psychological pressure, experienced changes in teachers' and classmates' attitudes toward him, and lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, he is now calmer and calmer than before, and his relationship with his classmates

On the contrary, things are getting along more harmoniously than before.

Three days before autumn, Song Chenfei, who was in the academy, received an osmanthus sachet from a young man from Prince Su's Mansion, with a osmanthus branch embroidered with gold thread on it.

"This was embroidered by the third sister herself?" Song Chenfei was very surprised. When he was at home, he and the third sister were not very close, but his sister, who was already the princess of the palace, could give him something made by her own hands at this time.

Sachet, he really felt flattered.

Of course, Song Qingyue didn't embroider it by herself. She was busy recently and asked the embroiderer in the sewing room of the mansion to work overnight. However, the little Huangmen who came to deliver the sachets didn't know what the princess was like, so she just followed the instructions of the young master of the Song family.

Choose something nice to say: "Of course it was the imperial concubine who stayed up late to embroider it. I wish the fifth young master of Song Dynasty to beat the horse in the street, drink in the Qiong Forest drunkenly, win the laurels in the Toad Palace, and achieve the third yuan!"

Xiao Huangmen was very talkative. It was impossible to get three yuan or something. Just listen to it. It was just a lucky word. Song Chenfei gave Xiao Huangmen half a reward, and Xiao Huangmen left happily.

All the young scholars in the academy came together to watch the fun.

"Song Wu, which sister of yours gave this to you?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that it was a eunuch just now? Who else could it be? Of course it's the Crown Princess of Prince Su's Palace!"

"I'm so envious of the dead!"

Song Chenfei held the sachet and smiled a little shyly, but soon the topic of the group of young scholars got weird: "I heard that the Crown Princess is a great beauty."

"How beautiful is she? Is she more beautiful than the courtesan in Jieqi Pavilion?"

When Song Chenfei heard this, his expression suddenly changed, he picked up the book on the table and smashed it on the man's head.

The man yelled, and a group of scholars came up and laughed and booed: "It's time to fight! Your Highness, Prince Su, has heard this, so watch your head!"

"That's right, how can I talk? I'm really asking for a beating."

…

Not to mention how noisy and lively the young students in the academy were, in Prince Su's palace, Prince Su was so angry that his merchant ship was robbed while passing through the Zhejiang waters, and he directly decided to let the merchant ship go north, directly in the

The aide who was unloading the goods at Tianjin Port was beaten half to death, locked in a secret room underground and interrogated for several days. Only after it was confirmed that he was not a spy sent by any party was he allowed to go home to recuperate.

King Su really couldn't swallow this breath! If the palace didn't need to hide its strength now, he really wanted to lead the fleet to Zhejiang and destroy the old dog Chen's lair regardless!

Now that it was really urgent, he still wanted to open the Tongren silver mine regardless of the situation. However, before leaving, his eldest son repeatedly warned him that no matter what, he should not rush to open the Tongling mine, so he pressed

He felt the urge, and after careful consideration, he called Song Qingyue over and truthfully informed her of the tight financial situation of the palace.

Song Qingyue opened her eyes wide and looked at her father-in-law with a shocked expression. She was not shocked that her father-in-law had lowered her face to complain about her poverty, but was shocked that the secret expenses of the palace had reached such a high level!

"Father, you...how many people do you support?" she asked in a low voice.

"Tsk! You girl, how can you be so sharp!" King Su frowned.

"Father, my daughter-in-law is so timid!" Song Qingyue said pitifully.

"Are you timid?"

hehe!

King Su laughed twice, straightened his expression, and said: "Boss, wife, what can you do to stop hiding it and share your father's worries? My father will never treat the Song family badly in the future, do you understand?"

Song Qingyue murmured in a low voice: "What are the Song family afraid of? Father, don't treat your eldest brother badly."

King Su looked at her two round, dark, innocent and smart big eyes, heyed, pointed at her with his finger, and after a long while, he said in a very low voice: "This king will definitely be happy in the future."

It’s left to Azhao, so relax.”

Song Qingyue curled her lips, and Prince Su didn't know whether she believed it or not. She touched her head, thinking of the scientific examination, and said: "Qiu Wei is too late, why don't we collect the information before the examinations and palace examinations in previous years?"

The essays of the twenty top candidates, as well as the essays written by the adults who may be selected as principal and assistant examiners when they were young, are all put together and bound into a book for sale?"

The ancient version of "Five Years and Three Years of College Entrance Examination Simulation" will definitely be snapped up when printed.

Prince Su laughed and thought to himself, she is indeed the daughter of Wenchen's family. This idea was beyond his imagination. He nodded and said: "This is a good idea, but it is a bit troublesome to run Prince Su's palace, but it is easier for your father to do it."

some."

As soon as Song Qingyue heard that King Su was going to send her father to do things again, she hurriedly came up with other ideas. She saw her opening her mouth with a little hesitation: "My daughter-in-law has something else. I'm afraid that if I take this thing out, it will kill a lot of people."

path to wealth."

King Su's eyes lit up, and he smiled with relief: "Well done, I know that this girl like you has many evil ideas. Don't be afraid! Just bring them out!"

Song Qingyue responded with a yes, and turned to ask Qin Jifu to go to his study to take out the almost identical drawings of a steam-powered mill.

A steam engine is not complicated at all. Its structure is as simple as a generator or an electric motor. It couldn't be simpler.

But wanting to make something that can actually be used is another matter.

"To put it simply, there are two air inlets at each end of the circular cylinder, and the piston is in the middle. The water is put here, and the coal stove is below. After the coal is burned, the water in the first cylinder is boiled, and then the water is used

The principle of steam expansion is that water vapor passes through the pipe and enters the second cylinder from the first inlet, pushing the piston to move. After the piston passes, the first air inlet is blocked. After the gas goes out from here, the water vapor

It comes out from the second air inlet and pushes the piston back, so that the rod connected to the piston can be made to reciprocate back and forth, and then drive the grinding plate to rotate through the crankshaft. However, some of the details and dimensions still need to be

Make the model and make modifications after the experiment. If you still have masters available, you can show them this half-drawn picture. In short, the principle is this. It is very simple, but what is the specific method?

Design also requires experimental data and calculations."

After explaining the principle and ins and outs of this thing to King Su, King Su stared blankly, so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

He almost realized that this thing called a steam engine by Song Qingyue could only drive mills, carriages, and even ships!

"This, this thing..." His throat rolled up and down, and he said, "Can this thing be loaded on the boat?"

Tsk, how come Prince Su has such a brain?

Sure enough, Li Zhao inherited his IQ from his father!

The response is so fast!

Song Qingyue scratched her face subconsciously and said: "Then we still need to make a propeller. It also depends on whether the quality of the steel can meet the requirements. If the middle bearing can really be made according to the drawings, whether the sealing of the cylinder and valve can meet the requirements.

, otherwise it is very likely that the tank will explode and lie down halfway on the road."

"Why didn't you take it out earlier!" King Su seemed to have not heard what she said. He was so excited that his body was trembling slightly, and then said: "By the way, that latex tree you said you were looking for before, there is one in the south.

The merchant ship found it and said they had cut a few barrels of gum and they would bring it to them in a while."

"Seriously!?" At this time, Song Qingyue was also so excited that her eyes shone.

She took Mo Zhu's hand and jumped a few times in an ungraceful manner. Because of her excitement, her voice couldn't help but get louder, and she said loudly: "Father, don't be in a hurry with this steam engine. We have to think about the details slowly, but

That gum, my daughter-in-law can ensure you make a lot of money!"

"Really? Tell me." King Su calmed down, crossed his legs, picked up the tea, and took a few sips.

Song Qingyue smiled and said: "Without any treatment, the gum can be used as oil paper by simply coating it on densely woven linen or kudzu cloth and drying it in the sun. It has good waterproof performance and is much more durable than oil paper. In addition, I have

There is a vulcanization process, and when the thing is made, I will show it to you, and I will make sure you like it."
