【There is another update in the middle of the night…】

Because it was night, Jiao Shun followed Qiu Shi'an into Donghua Gate and was able to say that he was ten steps, one stairs, five steps, and the solemn and stern, which was apart from the feeling of buying tickets to visit the Forbidden City in later generations.

When I entered the area of ​​the East Six Palace from the inner left gate, the scenery along the way changed again. There were less than half of the guards wearing helmets and armor again. Instead, the palace maids and eunuchs were in groups, pointing fingers in the corner of the wall, or judging their heads behind the door.

Qiu Shi'an explained quietly: "This is probably the name of Lord Jiao, the eyeliner of each palace. I'm afraid it's louder in this palace than outside the palace."

This is really an exaggeration. Relying on the bicycles that were popular in the harem, Jiao Shun's reputation in the palace is certainly not small, but it has not yet attracted the palaces to come and see what really made the palaces move. In fact, it was the huge noise that made the train test.

However, all the ears and ears came, and I would like to watch Jiao Shun, the "initiator", which is also a natural meaning in the title.

Because he was so dark that he couldn't recognize his facial features and did not dare to look closer and carefully, the most of the things that were introduced to the concubines of each palace were good words such as "high and heroic" and the only ones who had a grudge against the concubines of De Jia Yuanchun were replaced by "five big and three thick".

For example, Rong Fei’s place...

Not to mention this.

But Jiao Shun and Qiu Shi'an entered Jingren Palace. At first glance, what they saw was the train in the yard surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs and craftsmen in the inner palace, three floors inside and three floors outside.

He was about to withdraw his gaze, when Qiu Shi'an pointed into the circle with a whisk and sighed: "Master Jiao is indeed something that people cannot do. It took three years for the Ordnance Department to build the iron armored ship, but it only took one month to create such a strange thing!"

"In fact, there have been similar things in the Western Yi a few years ago."

Jiao Shun smiled slightly and said honestly and modestly: "Jiao is just a pick-up person's wisdom, it's nothing."

Qiu Shi'an disagreed: "Isn't that the iron-clad ship already available from the Western Yi? What's more, I heard that Lord Jiao also supervised the continuous fire..."

Halfway through, he suddenly realized that this was a military secret and quickly changed his words: "Long live in Yuyun Garden, let's take a few steps."

After experiencing this small episode, the two of them didn't say much and found Yuyun Garden where Jia Yuanchun was.

When Qiu Shi'an entered the report, Jiao Shun accepted the search for the third time outside the Donghua Gate, and once when he passed the left inner gate and entered the East Six Palaces.

The first two times were guards, but this time they were replaced by two little eunuchs. They were so detailed from head to toe that they made people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when they heard the sound of greetings inside, Jiao Shun didn't even bother to sort out his clothes and went into Yuyun Garden as if he ran away.

Because it was the residence of the concubines, Jiao Shun naturally did not dare to look around like he did along the way. He lowered his hands on his waist, bowed his body and followed the little eunuch into the living room, and knelt down without raising his head and shouting long live.

"I am not willing to give you a favor."

Emperor Longyuan raised his hand and helped him with a smile. Seeing that Jiao Shun was still so restrained that he didn't dare to look up after getting up, he said again: "Raise your head and talk back and forth."

Jiao Shun hesitated for a moment and heard the emperor make a statement, "I'm sorry for your guilt." Then he raised his head carefully and saw a young man in a bright yellow robe sitting upright on the left side of the Arhat's bed.

In terms of age, he should be five or six years older than him. He has a thin body shape and roughly the upper-middle-looking facial features. He has only a pair of bright eyes that are as bright as ordinary people. But it depends on who he is comparing with. If he compares with someone else's fierce eyes, he will be much worse than the market.

While Jiao Shun looked at the emperor carefully, the emperor naturally also "faced" him.

After looking up and down, he turned his head to Jia Yuanchun who was standing beside him and smiled: "Your father and younger brother are both handsome and handsome people, but Jiao Aiqing is more like a descendant of the general."

Taking advantage of the emperor's tilt, Jiao Shun also secretly used his light to sweep away Yuanchun, and then he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The wise concubine could vaguely see the shadow of Mrs. Wang in her eyebrows and eyes. She was as gentle, dignified and elegant as she was, but she was less invaded by her mother than her mother.

But that's not the point.

What surprised Jiao Shun was Jia Yuanchun's tight and neat outfit, wearing a short black jacket with black and white satin slim trousers underneath, and her figure was two inches taller than Mrs. Wang, making her look heroic and aggressive.

At this time, she was standing with her back facing the candlestick, but there was no trace of "holy light" leaking out between her trouser legs.

Is this unique outfit also directed by Mrs. Wang’s lineage?

But Mrs. Wang only innovates in it, how dare she...

Although Jiao Shun did not dare to look at it and quickly withdrew his gaze, Jia Yuanchun still keenly captured his eyes at that moment. However, Yuanchun did not feel that Jiao Shun was too rude, but was full of shame and helplessness.

A while ago, the Ministry of Works was ordered to offer another batch of bicycles, and the concubines rode their bicycles to the market, almost forming a scene in the palace.

As a result, not long after, the concubine's skirt was rolled into the chain, and the hem of the skirt was torn into two parts, and the person was also very upset.

Therefore, the emperor designed this slim breeches based on the picture of a Western lady riding a horse, and ordered the inner palace to make a hundred items to distribute to each palace.

Originally, most concubines were ashamed to wear them.

It was not until a few days ago that Concubine Rong set a precedent and was favored for three or four days that the concubines followed suit. Now, those who ride bicycles in this palace without wearing slim breeches have become an alien, and even the Queen is no exception.

Although Jia Yuanchun felt that it was unconventional, he was not good at going against the trend.

Just now, when the emperor asked Xuan Jiaoshun to enter the palace, she felt it was inappropriate, but after several indirect attacks, Emperor Longyuan ignored it and kept pulling her to speak, not giving her the chance to enter the house to change clothes.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Jiao Shun will be looked at by him.

She endured the shame in her heart and lowered her body slightly and replied: "When I was young, my father never rode and shot shortly, but later he made up for the lack of work department. He was busy with the workplace every day and practiced less."

"Ha ha……"

Emperor Longyuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "If you ride and shoot further, you may not be useful. It's better not to practice or practice."

As he said that, he asked Jiao Shun again: "Then Longyuan Yishi should be put into production, right?"

"Go back to your Majesty."

Jiao Shun hurriedly bowed: "It has been trial production in small batches. After all, this is named after His Majesty's reign, so the Ministry of Works means to improve while making. On the one hand, it is necessary to try to make up for the shortcomings in range, and on the other hand, it is necessary to overcome these two things while ensuring quality, so that it can be mass-produced and equipped on a large scale."

Emperor Longyuan actually wanted to spread the new gun immediately together with his reputation. However, Jiao Shun said that it was for his own name, so he immediately nodded and changed his words: "This is a mature saying. If you help the Ordnance Department to check, I will be relieved."

I immediately asked again: "Jiao Aiqing, what do you think of laying a railway track in Qianbulang? In this way, those corrupt scholars can...

"His Majesty."

Jia Yuanchun suddenly spoke and interrupted the emperor, stepped forward and picked up the tea that was already at the emperor's hand, and sent it to his palm and said, "The tea is going to cool down."

Emperor Longyuan glanced at her unhappily, knowing that she didn't want to denounce Confucian scholars and civil officials in front of foreign ministers, but Jiao Shun was his confidant general and was in the same power as the civil officials. What's the point of complaining to him?

At this time, Jiao Shun replied: "Your Majesty's idea is naturally very good, but this thing is very popular. If you want to be arranged in Qianbu Lounge, you may try to reduce the movement to avoid disturbing the offices of the various yamen."

As he said that, he looked embarrassed again: "But if there is less momentum, he is afraid that he will not be able to touch the officials and people on the street for a while, so he also asks His Majesty to give some time to think of a solution that has the best of both worlds."

Emperor Longyuan proposed to lay the railway tracks in Qianbu Lobby, which was just a hot mind. If Jiao Shun sang the opposite tune, he might really have to do it alone. However, when Jiao Shun carefully considered the difficulties, he felt that it was too troublesome, so he waved his hand and said, "Stop it, then I won't lay the railway in Qianbu Lobby, but I don't know where this train should be used?"

Seeing that Emperor Longyuan was still entangled with these problems, Jiao Shun was helpless. Could he knock on the palace gate at night to chat with the emperor?

But he was not good at taking the initiative to remind him, so he could only continue to patiently and answer seriously: "In my humble opinion, it is better to lay a railway outside the city to the West Mountain to transport water, coal and other things to the city on a daily basis."

"Not to mention coal, I have to thank Your Majesty for his blessings over the years. The population in the capital is growing increasingly prosperous, but the problem of water consumption in the city is becoming more and more serious. According to my investigation, the monthly water consumption fee for people above the middle class is already two or three times higher than during the Taizu Dynasty."

"Because Xishan produces coal, if it can be transported day and night by train, it will definitely greatly reduce the burden on the people in the city."

Speaking of this, Jiao Shun saw that although the emperor nodded slightly, there was a vague entanglement between his eyebrows. He hurriedly added: "To facilitate the officials and people along the way to dodge, I think a whistle should be added in addition to the ceiling so that the sound of the train passing through can be heard for miles, so that it can be perfect."

As soon as these words were said, the emperor immediately smiled. Although he also wanted to benefit the people, he still wanted to show off his achievements. Now that both worlds are the best, how can he not be happy?

Then he said, "When you go back, you might as well plan a cost first, and then..."

"Long live."

As a result, just as he was halfway through, he was interrupted by Jia Yuanchun. She said solemnly: "I heard that there are as many as thousands of Shui Masters in the city who rely on this for their own life. If they compete with the people for profit, it is probably inappropriate."

"this……"

Although Emperor Longyuan did not like Jia Yuanchun to interrupt himself, the issue of competing for profit with the people does need to be considered. After all, it involves the livelihoods of thousands of people. If something happens, I am afraid that I will be chased and criticized by those corrupt scholars again.

"What the empress filters is so much."

Jiao Shun hurriedly said: "But what the Shui Masters are really responsible is to distribute it everywhere in the city. Whether it is the water transported from outside the city or some deep wells in the city, they are all controlled by the wealthy merchants. Even if the court competes for profit, it is only competing with these merchants for profit, and it will not involve the livelihood of thousands of Shui Masters."

"What's more, nowadays, only middle-class and upper-class families can afford good water. If the imperial court can supply a large amount of cheap drinking water and allow civilian families to afford consumption, not only can it benefit the lower-class people, but the water masters can also benefit."

After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun nodded slightly and fell silent again.

It's really rare that she still knows Master Shui.

To be honest, the overall quality of men in Rongguo Mansion is really far inferior to that of women. Putting aside Yingchun, Jia Xichun, who did not recognize his relatives, has at least achieved great success in painting and Buddhism.

However, although Jia Yuanchun stopped talking, the emperor was disturbed by her and no longer wanted to continue discussing this issue. He was about to ask about the latest progress in engineering, but suddenly remembered that this time he did not summon Jiao Shun, but Jiao Shun broke into the palace ban at night, claiming that he had something urgent to report.

"oops!"

He suddenly realized that he wanted to slap his forehead, but suddenly he was in the air again, and then slapped at the table, "I was happy when I saw you. I forgot that you have something to report to you. Why is it so urgent? I can't wait for the book to be submitted tomorrow. Please come quickly."
