Chapter 192 Strange invention!

"Is this a poem written by the prince?"

The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand and stood up slowly. This was the first time Yu Zhigan made a whole poem. It used to be one or two sentences, which made people feel itchy. If you want to continue writing it, you don’t have that level. If you don’t write it, you will feel a pity.

"Your Majesty, when His Highness the Crown Prince was in charge of spring plowing, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince played in the fields, so His Highness made this poem of persuasion. Now everyone in Chang'an is saying that the Crown Prince is a good prince who compassions with the people's feelings. If you don't care about the people's feelings, you can't write such a poem!"

"Yeah, it's not bad!" After looking back and forth a few times, the emperor nodded slowly, and then continued to look, raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unbelievable: "The prince has really planted all the land?"

In the eyes of the emperor, although Yu Zhigan was not a lazy person, he was not a diligent guy. He actually planted three acres of land alone. If ordinary people planted three acres of land, the emperor was not surprised, because they were just farming, but the prince actually planted all three acres of land. This was a bit incredible. This was not the style of the prince!

Farming was very tiring. Before, the emperor asked Yu Zhi to do something, but Yu Zhi was too hindered. He wanted to avoid it when he encountered something, but now he actually took the initiative...

"Your Majesty, this is a blessing for our dynasty!"

The emperor snorted coldly, looking at the perfunctory memorials sent to him, what is the blessing of my court? This guy is too lazy to deal with the memorials. I really don’t know what this guy will look like after he becomes the emperor. He is still quite diligent. Yu Zhi does it, forget it...

In the Royal Villa, Yu Zhigan sat in the upper head, looked at Xu Xiake who had rested, and looked at Xu Xiake with a smile. This guy did not disappoint his expectations and was back.

When Yu Zhigan first formed an adventure team, when he saw Xu Xiake's name on the list, he knew that this adventure would be successful. After all, he is Xu Xiake, the most famous explorer in China. If Xu Xiake cannot lead the team to find the American continent, then if he wants to find the American continent, he can only rely on human lives to build it.

"Your Highness!"

"Drink tea first. By the way, are you hungry? I have already asked someone to prepare food for you. I will have a meal with me later!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xu Xiake was so excited that he almost knelt down. Yu Zhigan immediately reached out and stopped the guy, but did not make him kneel down successfully. In Yu Zhigan's opinion, Xu Xiake and the group of people who went out for an adventure with him were worthy of respect.

Like the soldiers guarding the border, this group of people use their lives to do things for this country. The soldiers guarding the peace of the country, while this group of people is exploring the future for the people of this country.

"Have you arrived in Heilongjiang?"

Xu Xiake nodded: "Go back to the Prince's Highness, our pioneer expedition team has found the location in Heilongjiang and is repairing, waiting for the next order from His Royal Highness!"

Yu Zhigan was not in a hurry to explore the American continent. He chose to take it step by step. The American continent is too far away. It is basically impossible to find the American continent now, but Yu Zhigan believes that it can take several years, more than ten years, or decades to explore the American continent.

So Yu Zhigan split the entire route to the American continent into several sections, step by step, and searched bit by bit. The first step was to find Heilongjiang and build a base.

"It's done well, let's talk about how you found it!"

When Xu Xiake heard Yu Zhigan want to listen to his adventure story, his eyes immediately lit up: "Your Highness, we set out from Chang'an and follow your instructions to head towards the Northeast..."

Xu Xiake and others did not go too thrillingly along the way. Now the Liaodong area is in the hands of the Yutang Empire, so until they left Liaodong, there were sufficient materials to accompany them. Yu Zhigan also fooled his father and fully supported this exploration in the court.

"After arriving in Liaodong, we encountered a real test. There is no way. We can walk forward little by little and go forward, looking for Heilongjiang!"

Although Yu Zhigan listened to Xu Xiake's words, although it was very ordinary, he could feel the hardships.

"It's a white day around, and the snow seems to be endless. Many people can't bear it. Some people never wake up after sleeping. During this period, we have experienced a lot of staff loss!"

Xu Xiake spoke calmly, while Yu Zhigan listened quietly beside him.

"We met a lot of savages who live in groups, but they can't be considered savages, but small tribes. We got a lot of supplies from them, and later we found a few guides who speak Chinese!"

"The guide took us for more than ten days. We saw Heilongjiang. Legend has it that a black dragon fell there. I wonder if it was the Heilongjiang that Your Highness mentioned!"

Yu Zhigan listened to Xu Xiake's little report and finally nodded. There was no problem with the place, and the legends were the same as those in his memory, but now the Northeast is not the granary for the future but the wilderness.

"How is the situation there?"

"Although the weather is bad there, our people are still finding a tribe around, staying in that tribe for the time being, waiting for subsequent orders!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhigan nodded, squinted his eyes and began to think, exploring step by step. Now he has taken the first step. The next step is to continue moving towards Sakhalin Island, slowly establish some small supply land bit by bit, and finally find the Bering Strait!"

"You have some rest first. I'm going to recruit a group of people to follow you. It's spring now. When you return to Heilongjiang, the weather will be much better there. All you have to do is to explore north along the beach as much as possible before winter comes there. There should be no one around the place you are looking for, but you will see an east-west strait with ice on it..."

Yu Zhigan told Xu Xiake some things he knew about the Bering Strait that this road was difficult to walk, and Yu Zhigan didn't even expect to find this road in his lifetime, but there must be pioneers who will go forward and explore step by step. At least this is a little more reliable than studying ships and then forming navigation. The shipbuilding technology of the Yu Tang Empire is really bad.

"Your Highness, I don't need a rest. I just want to go back early to meet with my friends!"

Xu Xiake looked at Yu Zhigan and said slowly. Yu Zhigan stared at this guy. This guy was really a natural explorer and shook his head: "You are very tired now and need rest. Recently, there are a lot of new things in my court. I will prepare some of you that you may be able to use!"

"Thank you, Prince!"

Xu Xiake didn't know what Yu Zhigan was talking about, but he gave the ceremony first.

Although the group of students Yu Zhi worked with during this period was very unreliable, the hands-on ability of these students was developed.

With Li Bai's head in mind, this group of students began to go further and further on the road of invention and creation.

But it is not a useless invention, some things are quite useful.

For example, Lu Su, a southerner, cannot stand the cold in the north, and he wears leather jackets but doesn’t like the smell on leather jackets.

This leather jacket is not a leather jacket worn by later generations. Nowadays, leather jackets are made of animal skins. After cleaning and processing, they are clothes.

Not to mention the thickness of the clothes, after wearing them for a while, they will have various flavors. So when Lu Su asked them to make something, he thought about making warm clothes.

When Yu Zhigan heard that Lu Su was going to make warm clothes, he was stunned for a moment. This was a bit difficult.

Yu Zhigan has not found the cotton thing. Yu Zhigan doesn’t know where it is, but he has been looking for it. The characteristics of this thing are quite obvious. Just a brief introduction can be remembered.

However, there has been no big clue. The exploration team sent by Yu Zhigan not only searches the American continent, but also looks for different targets.

For example, in the Middle East, there are a lot of things that the Yu Tang Empire needs, but because the distance is a bit far, there is not much news yet.

However, Lu Su did give Yu Zhi a surprise because this guy actually made the plush thread.

Yu Zhigan was shocked at the time. The wool needed cotton to appear, but this guy actually used silk as a rope and then used cashmere...

Although it sounds incredible, this guy made it and someone would definitely help him, otherwise this guy wouldn't even have woven cloth, and it would be even more impossible to make clothes.

Yu Zhigan tried the clothes, which was indeed warm, but the cost was relatively high, and only rich people could afford to wear them, and they were very ugly...

Yu Zhigan is preparing to prepare some of this thing for the expedition team.

At the same time, someone invented warm boots. Of course, the most bizarre ones were Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Yulin, who made a huge kite.

After listening to Yu Zhi's half-baked introduction about buoyancy, these two guys suddenly thought of going to heaven.

They could also be considered as listening to Yu Zhi’s lecture for a while, but they didn’t know how much they learned, so they remembered something. If the kite was big enough, it could drive things to fly.

So the two guys worked together to spend a lot of money to make a huge kite, ready to go to heaven.

However, both of them were afraid of death and dared not try it with their own lives, so they kept looking for someone. At present, the two of them had not found a suitable candidate.

It’s not that the two of them can’t find the person, but that the person they found cannot fly at all...

Xu Xiake was on the road again, and this time he brought a lot of resources, such as a thick cotton jacket made of pure cashmere, waterproof shoes, and a box made of iron.

That thing is a mobile umbrella made by Fang Yiai.

This guy explains the reason for inventing this thing because it rained when get out of class was over.

Although Fang Yiai had a carriage, he saw the crowd running on the street. This guy had a sudden idea. If everyone went out to bring such things, they wouldn't be in the rain.

As for the umbrella, Fang Yiai felt that she did not have her own invention, because the umbrella could not wrap her whole body and would be wet to the rain.

Yu Zhigan looked at this thing and kept telling himself that there were always strange things on the road to invention and creation, so he resisted the urge to open the guy's head and see what was on the inside.

But in terms of practicality, Fang Yiai's invention is indeed good. Think about it, on rainy days, if you stand in the rain, even if there is hail, it won't be a problem.

Yu Zhigan raised a question. After the person was too tired to hold on to this thing, the guy modified it and added a stool to it, meaning that if he is tired, he can rest well inside.

Now this guy is writing an invention to add a wheel to himself, thinking that like the tricycle bike that Yu Zhi did, people can ride it inside.

When Yu Zhigan saw this, he never stopped him. Maybe this guy could tinker with the first four-wheeler in the Yu Tang Empire. Even if it was a human-powered four-wheeler, it was also a four-wheeler, right?

As for why I gave this thing to Xu Xiake, Yu Zhigan thought that this thing might be useful if it was exploring the way. If I encounter a wild beast, I can hide in it...

After Xu Xiake left, Yu Zhigan was about to get busy again. He first had to accompany his wife Cheng Xiang. Cheng Xiang's belly was obvious now, but what made Yu Zhigan more worried was that Cheng Xiang, who was pregnant, was still very thin... Yu Zhigan was a little worried about the safety of the child.

In addition, the most important thing Yu Zhi does now is Enko this year.

Last year, due to fraud in the imperial examination, the emperor issued an order to open a tribute this year, and many candidates who failed the exam last year remained in the capital.

The emperor was not in the capital, so the imperial examination was the one who fell in Yu Zhigan.

There is still half a month left before the start of the imperial examination. Yu Zhigan has not yet decided on it so far, and the examiner has decided.

"Your Highness, the imperial examination is about to be imminent. Have you chosen the chief examiner?"

The Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel were anxiously watching Yu Zhi work. It was still half a month left. Not to mention the exam questions, even the chief examiner had not decided. This made the officials of these two departments anxious. If the imperial examination was screwed up, their career would basically end.

Yu Zhigan looked at the anxious officials below, looked at the memorial in his hand, then looked at the anxious officials below, and squinted his eyes: "Don't worry, isn't this still half a month..."

"Your Highness, you will have to print the test questions in half a month, and the time will be enough. If you don't ask for the test questions today, the scientific examination may be delayed this year!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhigan shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't. The questions for this year's scientific examination will be announced after the exam starts!"

Yu Zhigan investigated a fraud case in the scientific examination before, but suddenly found a problem. As long as you write the test questions in advance, there is a risk of leakage. The safest way is to wait until the exam starts and set the questions temporarily. Is there anyone stealing questions from their minds?
