But Liu Chang's heart could not calm down for a long time.
It has been a while since he came to this world. During these days, Liu Chang has been complaining. He feels that he does not like this backward era at all. He also feels that he does not belong here. He does not understand the meaning of his coming here.
, he had already given up thinking, and was ready to live his life as a prince and king with peace of mind.
But Liu Heng's words suddenly woke him up. If a small thing he prepared to make on the spur of the moment had the power to benefit the whole world, then why didn't he do more?
Instead of wasting time in Tianlu Pavilion every day, it is better to do something meaningful.
This was probably the first time that little Liu Chang became so serious. For the whole day, he stood in front of his mother's spinning wheel and carefully observed the spinning wheel.
Although the principle is similar, this thing is still very different from the spinning machines of later generations. It was many, many years ago that Liu Chang dismantled the spinning machine. Before he actually started working on it, he had to make a good draft.
Liu Chang has a lot of paper here, but these papers are very precious. Not to mention the prince, even Liu Bang rarely uses paper, and more often uses bamboo slips. Liu Chang obtained these papers through his own efforts
Yes, he stole these from the great scholar who originally taught him.
Just when Liu Chang was observing the spinning wheel and thinking about how to make it, Queen Lu had already returned.
I don’t know where Empress Lu went. In short, she was not very happy and seemed to be angry. However, Liu Chang, who was deep in thought, did not notice her. Empress Lu went straight into the inner hall, changed her clothes, and came out.
At that time, I saw Liu Chang squatting in front of the spinning wheel and playing, so he didn't pay attention.
It wasn't until the palace maid reported Liu Heng's visit to Liu Chang that Empress Lu became curious.
"Chang, come here."
Liu Chang woke up with a start and rushed to Empress Lu's side with a smile.
"Mom~~"
"Heng has been here?"
"Yes, fourth brother came here once in the morning."
"What is he here for?"
"Nothing, just brought me a gift, hehe..."
Liu Chang grinned, obviously very satisfied with the gift.
Empress Lu frowned, she stretched out her hand, pulled Liu Chang into her arms, and said seriously: "If you want to ask someone for something, do it first."
"What's the meaning?"
"If you want something from others, you must first be subordinate to them."
"No one will express kindness to you or give you gifts for no reason. If someone does this, you have to be careful, because they may have other ideas and bad intentions."
Liu Chang was stunned and said with some surprise: "But I don't think Fourth Brother has any bad intentions towards me..."
"I'm not saying that your fourth brother is not good, but you have to keep my words in mind, understand?"
Liu Chang nodded, thoughtfully.
"Go and play, I'll give you the spinning wheel, don't hurt yourself."
Liu Chang was so happy that he was about to peck his mother on the face. Suddenly, he realized something, his expression became solemn, and he murmured: "If you want to ask someone for something, do you do it first?"
For the first time, shock appeared on Queen Lu's face, which was calm about honor and disgrace.
She slapped Liu Chang on the back of the head and cursed: "That's not how it's used!"
After receiving the oral instructions from Empress Lu, Liu Chang could officially start dismantling the spinning wheel. If Empress Lu knew about her gift, she would open Pandora's cartridge and raise a "Palace Demolition Maniac" in the palace. I'm afraid she wouldn't do anything.
I will give that spinning wheel to Liu Chang...
Liu Chang spent two days drawing a slightly professional design of the textile machine.
That's right, Liu Chang had given up his original idea. He originally just wanted to improve the spinning wheel, but after hearing Liu Heng's words, he decided to build a state-of-the-art textile machine! In the field of wooden materials,
The textile machine he designed is definitely the most advanced.
These structures are all made of wood, so materials won't be an issue, as big men have plenty of wood.
But when Liu Chang was about to take action, he discovered that a saw alone was not enough. He also needed a ruler, otherwise he would not be able to measure the length. In addition, it would be better if he could get a planer, file, and axe. But Liu Chang
I was too embarrassed to continue asking Liu Heng for help.
Liu Heng could easily go next door to find the craftsman, but he couldn't get out. This was due to his bad character in his predecessor, probably because he was afraid that he would go out and beat others...
Liu Chang decided to wait until Tianlu Pavilion starts school, and then find an opportunity to ask Liu Heng to take him to the next door to borrow a ruler, planer, file, etc. You can even borrow a saw, and you can probably borrow a few more tools.
It's not difficult. Before that, you'd better prepare more materials yourself so that you can use them directly when the time comes.
The spinning wheel was quickly dismantled by Liu Chang. The shuttle, rocker, pulley, pedals, etc. in the spinning wheel can be used directly without making many changes. Liu Chang decided to base on these things
to recreate it.
But the textile machine he wants to make must be at least two circles larger than the spinning wheel in front of him, and these materials alone are not enough.
So, he took the saw and walked around the palace all day long, looking for materials that could be used... Whenever he picked up the saw to draw in the Jiaofang Palace, the palace ladies were scared to death, for fear of him.
Saw down the main beams in the hall.
Of course, given Liu Chang's courage, he wouldn't dare to demolish my mother's Jiaofang Palace. Despite Liu Bang's fierceness, in fact, Liu Bang's attack was relatively light. Liu Chang remembered that he was throwing stones outside the palace for fun.
What happened after I smashed a big bag on my uncle's head.
The eldest uncle didn't care about this, he just hugged him with a smile and said that he was not injured in the battlefield, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of a little baby.
However, when the uncle did not hold him accountable, my mother was so angry that she beat Liu Chang until he could not stay in bed for three days and his buttocks became swollen.
The eldest uncle was a good man. When he was still alive, he would play with Liu Chang every time he went to the palace, but the second uncle always had a sullen face, just like my mother, and was unsmiling.
Weiyang Palace has just been built, so the palace has not yet reached the level of lushness, and wood is not so easy to obtain. At this moment, the Han Palace looks a bit desolate, with gray and white everywhere, and there is no time to paint, and from time to time there are eunuchs looking down.
Passing by in a hurry.
Liu Chang inspected the palace for a long time and finally found a place to obtain precious raw materials.
First of all, this is not a beam in the main hall, there will be no danger, and no one comes here at all. It is just an empty decoration with no practicality. It is better to use it for the benefit of the people in the world.
Liu Chang hid the wood nearby. Every day he returned to Jiaofang Hall in disgrace and fell asleep.
Queen Lu looked at him sleeping soundly and at the palace maid beside her, "He is still building that spinning wheel?"
"Yes...Young Master is also very filial..."
Empress Lu didn't say anything else. In fact, as early as the day after Liu Chang had this idea, Empress Lu already knew the surprise this guy was planning to give her. The master of the harem is not joking with you. In the palace,
Whenever there is any trouble, Queen Lu is usually the first to know.
Empress Lu was the first empress in China. After all, the first emperor in China did not appoint a queen. In this era, we still didn’t know how to treat the queen, and we didn’t know how to determine the power that the queen had. The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics and did not appear. Therefore, the queen
The power is terrifying.
Not only could they interfere in government affairs, but they could even dictate the emperor's appointments.
.......
"This is a new pavilion that I built. Usually no one comes here. There are rockeries on three sides. I can sit here and enjoy a moment of leisure..."
Liu Bang strode along the gravel path. He was a little tired, so he simply took off his shoes and walked barefoot. Following him was a middle-aged man with a stern face. The two of them walked in front of him.
Walking on the trail, not far away, there was a group of soldiers, staring coldly at the place.
This middle-aged man's eyebrows were upturned, which made him look very strong, even a little scary. He was thin but had a large frame. He was dressed quite plainly and followed Liu Bang steadily.
"Why don't you talk? Here, we are not monarchs and ministers, we are just friends. Don't be as restrained as in the court."
Liu Bang clicked the soles of his feet and said with a grin.
"Since it's a gathering among friends, why are there so many elite soldiers following behind us?"
"You are wrong to blame me for this. I am walking with the tiger. How dare those soldiers relax?"
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, laughed for a moment, and then stopped suddenly.
"What do you think of Fan Kuai?"
"He is loyal, brave and mighty. He is a good pioneer, but he is not qualified to be a general."
"Then what do you think of Cao Shen?"
"Be obedient and can carry out orders well, but have no independent opinions of his own. He can defeat the enemy but cannot lead the army."
