Chen Kui quickly returned to Xuchang. When he entered the city, he collided head-on with a funeral team and immediately avoided the roadside.

The road was crowded with people watching the fun. After a while, I found out that it was the Privy Councilor, Chen Jingen, the brother of the Prince's Young Tutor Chen Yougen, passed away. Today is the burial period.

He suddenly thought of one thing: Should Chen Yougen stay in mourning for his brother?

With this idea in mind, he quietly observed it.

Sure enough, he soon saw Chen Yougen in plain clothes and Chen Yingen, the captain of the Bianliang City Gate, and the Chen brothers, and

Chen Tonggen followed Shao Shen deep into the Xianbei enemy's rear in his early years and died in battle on his way back.

But why is it just a simple costume? Chen Yingen is wearing sackcloths. Could it be that Chen Yougen was given an edict to take over the love?

Chen Kui withdrew his gaze, thought carefully, and finally came to a conclusion: Chen Yougen could not go home to mourn, especially at this critical moment.

After thinking it through, he looked up at the mourning team that was leaving, and many officials came.

The former prefect of Yingchuan, now the former prefect of Yuzhou, Yang Xuan, former Puting War Lang, currently the present prefect of Yingchuan, Jin Zhaoming, former Tanshan Wei, currently the present Xuchang Order, and Qian Ji, a student of Wu, representing the three levels of prefecture, county and county. In addition, Chen Jingen's comrades in the Left Feilong Guard during his lifetime and his friends of the Chen brothers, were all present. He was not allowed to come, and he would also send his nephews to come, and his pomp was quite large.

The onlookers were also amazing to watch.

Since the emperor served as General Pingdong in his early years in his reign as the governor of Yuzhou, many of his elders of Yuancheng have been settled in Xuchang, and the three brothers of Chen Jingen are one of them (Chen Yougen has settled in Luoyang).

After these three families moved in, there were two Chen families in Xuchang, one in literature and one in martial arts. So far, the old Chen family is still more famous, but the new Chen family is also very powerful. The descendants of the three Jingen brothers continued to work hard in the army and made military achievements. On the contrary, some of the old Chen family moved south and some remained behind. Now they rely on the support of Yizhou Geng, the governor of Yizhou, and their stamina, did not seem to be that strong.

Chen Kui had heard this kind of discussion vaguely and was quite dissatisfied, but he had to admit the reality.

Some people in the Chen family have drunk too much and died young;

Some people have no talent, so they simply go to Jiangnan to manage their industries;

Some people entered the officialdom through the family and became a county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, but they were unable to be promoted:

Only Chen Kui, who has clinched the prince, has the brightest future now, and is now facing setbacks and is confused.

Should we let the vulgar and unwilling fake Yingchuan Chen climb up to the top?

Chen Kui sighed softly and returned home.

The Chen Mansion is luxurious in Xuchang City, but perhaps because of the change in mood, Chen Kui felt that the house passed down from his ancestors was full of dilapidated breath, just like the ancient Fanyang Mansion diagonally opposite.

?Someone lived in the Prince Fanyang Mansion? Listen, it seems that the gates have been rebuilt and have become one of the Prince Chu Mansions?

While peeking, I saw the main entrance of the palace wide open, and a group of people walked out, surrounded by a man and two women, all of whom seemed to be in their twenties.

He knew the woman, Princess Jingfu Shao Fu.

Her Tang Muyi is located in the old place of Jingfu Palace on the southeast of Caokui outside the city, and is considered a celebrity near Xuchang.

He knew the other two people better, King Shao of Chu and Princess Zu of the Princess.

The three of them talked and laughed, as if they were visiting relatives one by one, they were originally relatives.

"My aunt actually wants to accompany you?" A voice came from the wind. It was the Princess Zu of Chu who was talking.

"Yes, I want to go to the plains with my grandmother." Shao Fu said, "Sixth sister will go with you."

Zu was a little envious when he heard this, but seemed to be paying attention to something and didn't say anything.

King Shao of Chu stood aside with no expression on his face.

Chen Kui was secretly exposed, and he still had this kind of character after so many years. The emperor has never given you a chance, and who can you blame him if you don’t grasp it?

Seeing the King of Chu, Chen Kui remembered the oldest King of Qi among the princes.

King Zhang of Qi was twenty-nine years old since the Chinese New Year. He was successful and the eldest son was defeated.

As the eldest son of the monk, he was the oldest and experienced the most. He was the first to come into the eyes of the emperor's inspection. His ability was actually not bad, and as he gained more skills, his ability grew.

But he was also defeated by the status of the eldest son, for no other reason. If the emperor lived for more than ten years, the King of Qi would be in his forties, and it would be unlikely that he would take over the throne again.

Age is both his advantage and his disadvantage.

Furthermore, if the family affairs are not handled well, the opportunity has been lost and there is no need to worry about it.

I heard that the King of Qi was sent to Qingzhou a while ago, and he was still the Qingzhou Observer and the prefect of Donglai. The Eastern Palace just stared at this person a little, and no longer cared about it.

Compared with King Qi, King Chu had a slightly greater chance, but now it has disappeared.

"When will the eldest sister go to Bianliang?" the King of Chu suddenly asked.

"Just just a few days, will you go with me?" Shao Fu asked.

"Let's go together." Shao Chenchen said for a moment.

"Okay." Shao Fu walked towards the carriage parked in front of the door and said, "I will go to Xiangyang to stay for a while after the New Year.

I'm back in May, are you going?”

Shao showed a look of nostalgia on his face.

He traveled back and forth between Nanyang and Xiangyang many times. He had carefully inspected every river there, dug many ponds, dredged many river channels, and rebuilt some dilapidated rivers.

This is a dirty work and hard work that many people are unwilling to do, but my father can't see it. Last month, he even lured Duan Liao, his father and son, the right attendant of the royal palace, and all the guests were arrested and interrogated one by one.

He probably only has the crown prince, the King of Yan and the King of Zhao in his eyes? Now there may be another King of Han.

Shao calmed down, shook his head, and said, "Xiangyang is much better than when he just took it down, and the scenery is even more beautiful. It should be nice for the eldest sister to stay there, so I won't go."

Shao Fu didn't care and said, "That's it, second brother, please rest at home."

After saying that, he bowed and got on the bus and left.

*******

When the carriage approached the tall and thick walls of Jingfuyuan, the family soldiers holding knives and bows at the gate opened the door and then bowed to the side of the road.

The car did not stop and went directly to a wide courtyard to stop.

Two maids got out of the car first, then got off the car with Shao Fu's men on the left and right, followed by the two of them, carrying the gorgeous hem of her skirt for her.

The craftsmen working on the yard salute one after another.

Liu Miao, the family order, came over, bowed and reported: "Princess, the wood has been found. I bought it from Ruyang Guard. It has been dry for four years. The material is excellent."

Shao Fu nodded and said, "King Han has taken the new mission to investigate the rivers in the north and the water cut off the canals. The first stop is Yingchuan. The water has been removed, don't drag it down. Pick up the materials you can use, you can do it."

"As for the order." Liu Miao replied.

Shao Fu looked at many craftsmen again and said, "It's the Chinese New Year, I'll give you two pieces of jerky, three kilograms of fruit, and one hu of grain."

After saying that, he turned around and boarded the carriage and soon arrived at the back house.

What she said just now was true.

After the mourning, his father asked him to investigate the affairs of the rich, military governments, and ministers in various places for the construction of hydraulic mills without authorization, and found that one was demolished and the other was demolished.

Water is very convenient, with spring rice and flour grinding efficiency very high, and the cost is low. But knowledgeable people know that in areas with less abundant water resources, if local wealthy families rush to water, it will actually affect agricultural production, so this kind of thing has been investigated throughout the dynasties.

Although it is often a gust of wind-like sporty investigation and punishment, it will be revived in a few years, but it will eventually have a little effect.

This is a real competition for profit with the people. The hydraulic machinery of the rich is undoubtedly a major cancer of agricultural production. At a time when the weather turns cold for the fourth consecutive year, agricultural production is undoubtedly the most important, and it is not surprising that it is investigated at all.

Therefore, Shao Fu decided to try to build the eight-edged windmill that Yang Ben had just presented to Tiangong Institute of Technology, one by one, and each equipped with a sail to capture different wind directions in different seasons as much as possible.

It has been three years since Kaiping received the reward from the emperor at the end of the sixth year of the year and studied the Eight-edge Windmill.

The face of sheep was paler and more and more children. Fortunately, she finally made an eight-ring windmill before the deadline, and was awarded a bachelor's degree in Tiangong Academy and 50 pieces of silk.

From here we can see the difference. The buoyant Scholar gave hundreds of silk pieces, and the sheep who made the windmill had to be rewarded with fifty pieces.

Obviously, the eldest son values ​​"reason".

Yang Ben couldn't tell too many of the reasons, or was vague, and he could not break the window paper, so he could only do things.

Shen Shao summarized the principle of "buoyancy" and used this principle to guide the construction of ships.

For example, he thinks the stinger boat is good.

For example, based on the principle of buoyancy, he suggested that each cabin at the bottom of the sea ship be divided into good effect, put a stone cabin at the bottom, put cargo at a little above, etc. If the stone cannot be found for a while, Shen Shao even thinks that he can install a water cabin and separate it.

This theory is shocking. Some people used sand and gravel ballasts to press in the Han Dynasty, which is understandable, but did you use water ballasts? No one has ever tried it.

But Shen Shao was very confident and praised the truth. He pointed out that the sand and gravel ballast was to make the boat drip deeper, and more water was discharged when tilted, which led to a "counterattack" of the water, which automatically straightened the ship. The sand and gravel could be pressed into the bay, and water could be also used.

He even ridiculed the officials of the local people who refuted him during a brief conversation, saying that they did not understand the truth and were like blind people touching elephants. They felt that they would do it well based on their experience, and then did it without knowing why.

He understood the principles of the great way, so he dared to break through the rules and point directly to the origin. It was much better than Shaofu, who was the water steward to explore.

After hearing Huan Wen mention this, Shao Fu thought Shen Shao was right, but she still felt that the things she made were more practical and could solve the urgent problem.

If the eight-ringed windmill cannot be erected before May next year, then the shopkeepers will have to make their own spring rice.

While thinking, I came to the bedroom.

Her husband Huan Wen is still by the emperor, and there are only her and her children at home.

Seeing that his mother was back, Huan Zhao, who was being led by a maid, rushed over and shouted "Ah Mom".

Shao Fu picked up his four-year-old son and smiled and said, "My mother is not at home, her heart is wild."

The maid's face turned pale.

Shao Fu signaled her to leave, then sat down with his son in his arms, and said, "It's time to calm down. I will follow my grandmother to Bianliang in two days."
