The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 214

After school at noon, Zhao Yao was about to go to Lanyuan Pavilion for lunch, but was stopped by Tong Xi.It turned out that Xiaofengzi did the words that Zhao Yao asked before.

Xiaofengzi burned many characters carved with clay, and finally succeeded, thanks to Zheng Cheng's help.

In the morning, Zheng Cheng saw that Xiaofengzi had been firing characters carved with clay, but he had been unsuccessful.He didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but when he learned that His Royal Highness asked for it, he was curious and couldn't help meddling in his own business.

Zheng Cheng and Xiaofengzi cooperated and finally fired it successfully.

Zhao Yao took Xiaofengzi's burnt characters and looked at them carefully.

"Whether it works or not, I won't know until I try it." He looked at Xiaofengzi and said, "I will let Tong Xi inform you whether it can be used in the afternoon. If it doesn't work, you can only re-fire it. If it works , you continue to burn according to this standard."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You have worked hard these two days." Zhao Yao gave Tong Xi a look, "Send him back to Shang Fang Ling."

Tongxi agreed: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, there's no need..." Xiao Fengzi was pushed away by Tong Xi before he finished speaking.

Zhao Yao put the characters made by Xiaofengzi in his bosom, and waited until he returned to Kunde Hall after lunch.Now go to Lanyuan Pavilion for lunch.

The fourth prince knew that Zhao Yao was going to have lunch with He Xiang and the others today, so he asked Wei Mian to send Zhao Yao's lunch to He Xiang, and he himself would go to Changding Palace for lunch.

Zhao Yao came to Lanyuan Pavilion and went straight to the room where He Xiang and the others were working.

Zheng Cheng arrived at Lanyuan Pavilion one step earlier than Zhao Yao.He was slightly startled when he saw Zhao Yao, he didn't expect His Highness the Tenth Highness to be a child carved in powder and jade.

Zhao Yao greeted He Xiang and the others with a big smile.

He Xiang and the others saluted Zhao Yao one by one.

After the ceremony, Zheng Rang hurriedly introduced Zheng Cheng to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao looked at Zheng Cheng curiously: "You are Zheng Taiwei's son, and you actually like the Mo family."

Zheng Cheng has heard this sentence since he was a child.As a child, he would get angry when he heard it, but now he is used to it.It seems that as the son of Zheng Taiwei, he likes the Mohist school, and it is a sin to like to make things.

Zheng Cheng could only smile embarrassingly at this.

Zhao Yao gave Zheng Cheng a thumbs up, and sincerely praised him: "You like the Mohists, you like making things, and you have a bright future!"

"Ah?" Zheng Cheng was stunned, he didn't expect His Royal Highness to praise him.He just heard His Highness say that, he thought His Highness was just like everyone else, but he didn't expect His Highness to praise him for his future.

He Xiang and the others were also stunned by Zhao Yao's compliment.

"It's good to like the Mohist school and like to make things." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I also like the Mohist family and like to make things."

Zheng Cheng could see that Zhao Yao really thought it was good to like the Mo family, "Your Highness, you..."

"It's not a shame that you like the Mohists and being a craftsman." Zhao Yao folded his arms and said seriously, "Artisans can make many things, and these things are very useful to our lives. It’s over without craftsmen, so don’t feel ashamed that you are Zheng Taiwei’s son and a craftsman.”

Zhao Yao's words touched Zheng Cheng's heart.He said with some excitement: "Your Highness, I never feel ashamed of being a craftsman."

"That's right. There are many craftsmen in Shang Fang Ling, and their skills are very good. You can learn from them and surpass them."

Zheng Cheng felt that Zhao Yao's words were encouraging him, and said sternly, "Yes, Your Highness!"

"Zheng Zhengshi, you haven't forgotten to bring delicious food from your hometown?" Zhao Yao looked at Zheng Rang eagerly.If Zheng Rang said he didn't bring it, he would cry immediately.

Zheng Rang's heart softened after being watched by Zhao Yao, he held back a smile and said: "I have brought it, I dare not forget it." If he really forgot to bring it, I am afraid that His Highness Tenth Highness will burst into tears.

"I'm hungry." Zhao Yao touched his belly and said, "He Xiang, Liu Taishi, let's have lunch."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zheng Rang brought several plates of meat dishes, which are the delicacies that their family often eats.He Xiang also specially sent someone to send these dishes to the imperial dining room for heating.

The lunch prepared by the Fourth Prince for Zhao Yao was all his favorite food on weekdays.He knew that Zhao Yao was going to exchange delicious food with Zheng Rang today, so he specially asked the imperial dining room to make fire bacon, crystal goose, leek and sour bamboo shoot harry soup for Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao was afraid that Zheng Rang and them would be embarrassed to pick them up, so he specially picked some for Zheng Rang himself, and told Zheng Rang that they should not be polite.

During the meal, Zhao Yao ate the delicacies brought by Zheng Rang while asking how to make it.

Zheng Rang can cook.When he was in his hometown, he cooked most of the three meals a day for his family.The delicious food he brings is also made by himself, so he knows the method very well.

He knew that Zhao Yao had the habit of collecting gourmet recipes from all over the world, so he thoughtfully wrote down the recipes in advance.

Seeing Zheng Rang being so careful, Zhao Yao had a better impression of him.He tweeted to Zheng Rang the way he brought delicious food today.

Zheng Rang has a hobby of cooking on weekdays, and he has never eaten the few dishes Zhao Yao brought before.He ate some just now and found it very delicious, so he thought about doing it himself in the future.Unexpectedly, Zhao Yao told him the method directly, and he wrote it down carefully.

Although Zhao Yao can't do it, he is very clear about the way of food, because he deliberately went to understand it.

Seeing that his elder brother was listening very seriously, Zheng Cheng smiled in his heart, and said, elder brother has found a bosom friend.

Originally, these dishes were very delicious, but now after Zhao Yao's description, these dishes instantly became more delicious, making Zheng Rang and Zheng Cheng think they were eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

Zhao Yao's food was delicious, and under his influence, both He Xiang and Grand Master Liu ate half a bowl of rice more.

Zhao Yao and He Xiang ate all the dishes on the table, not even soup left.As long as Zhao Yao is around, it is impossible to leave residue.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi had experienced the famine in the previous dynasty, which made them cherish food very much.Every time they eat, they will eat the food clean.If you can't finish it, save it for the next meal and never throw it away.

Taishi Liu took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer of his desk, poured out two pills and handed them to Zhao Yao.

"Your Highness, the digestive medicine, take it quickly, or you will fill your stomach."

In fact, Zhao Yao didn't feel overwhelmed, but seeing that Liu Taishi and He Xiang were worried about him, he couldn't refuse their kindness, so he took two pills from Liu Taishi's palm and threw them into his mouth.

He Xiang hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao took the teacup, bowed his head and took a few sips.

"Your Highness, may I ask you a question?" During the meal just now, Zhao Yao kept talking about food, but Zheng Cheng was embarrassed to interrupt.

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "You ask."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making stirrups?" Zheng Cheng asked again, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​using two iron rings as stirrups?"

"Ah?" Zhao Yao thought it was some kind of problem, but he didn't expect it to be a stirrup.Stirrups have been made for a long time. "That's how I came up with it."

Seeing that Zheng Cheng was curious, Zhao Yao told him about thinking of stirrups that day.

"The iron ring can be fastened very well, and it is most suitable for making stirrups."

"So that's how it is." Zheng Cheng saluted Zhao Yao, "Your Highness is wise."

Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, "It's just a stirrup, don't make such a fuss."

"Your Highness, you asked Xiao Fengzi to carve characters with clay and then burn them hard. What are you planning to do?" Zheng Cheng thought for a long time, but he still didn't understand what His Royal Highness was doing.

Zhao Yao took out the few words Xiaofengzi gave him just now from his arms, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate these words, they will come in handy."

Zheng Cheng asked curiously, "What's the use?"

"I won't tell you for the time being." Zhao Yao said mysteriously, "When I finish everything, you will know its usefulness."

He Xiang stroked his beard and said, "It seems that His Highness is going to make something useful again."

Zhao Yao nodded vigorously: "Well, it is very useful. When I make it, you will be surprised and thank me."

Hearing Zhao Yao's exaggeration, He Xiang and Grand Master Liu couldn't help being curious.

"Is it more useful than stirrups?"

"Well, it's more useful than stirrups, just wait." Zhao Yao waited to go back to the experiment, and didn't have a long chat with He Xiang and the others.After speaking, he left with joy.

What Zheng Cheng heard was itchy, and he wanted to follow him to have a look.

There was riding and archery practice in the afternoon, Zhao Yao hurriedly ran back to Kunde Hall.

"Mufei, the ink I asked you to prepare, is it ready?"

"It's ready, and I've prepared the paper for you."

"Great." Zhao Yao took out the burnt characters in his arms, brushed ink on them, and pressed them on the paper.Words immediately appeared on the blank paper.

Liang Zhaoyi and Tong Xi stood aside and saw Zhao Yao doing this, and they were surprised: "Yao Yao, are you doing this?"

"Concubine Mu, I am printing." Zhao Yao picked up the paper on which a few words had just been printed, "Concubine Mu, do you think the printing is good?" Because the characters are engraved upside down, the words printed on the paper is positive.

"It's very clearly printed." Liang Zhaoyi looked puzzled, "Isn't it the same as a seal?"

"It's different. The thing I want to produce is called movable type printing." Zhao Yao said, "As long as movable type printing is produced, all books can be printed in the future, and no one needs to copy it."

"Movable type printing?!" Both Liang Zhaoyi and Tong Xi were shocked.

Next, Zhao Yao took out the drawings he had drawn before, and introduced to Liang Zhaoyi and the others in detail what movable type printing is and how to use movable type printing.

Liang Zhaoyi and Tong Xi were both dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Xiaofengzi just made out the words I wanted temporarily, and then I will use the iron plate." Zhao Yao pinched his chin and said, "First of all, we have to make out all the words that are often used in daily life, and then we need to use the uncommon characters. Get the words out, so that it will be convenient to print the book."

Liang Zhaoyi looked very excited and said: "Yaoyao, this movable type printing technique is amazing!"

Tong Xi stood aside and nodded quickly: "Your Highness, you are really amazing!" How did Your Highness come up with this idea.This is amazing.

"Hey, if you use it, you will be able to print more books in the future, so that books will become cheaper, and many people will be able to afford books." Zhao Yao put his hands on his hips and smiled very proudly, "There will be books published in the future. It will be very convenient.”

Liang Zhaoyi knew that movable type printing must be something from Zhao Yao's world in the dream, "Yaoyao, let Shang Fangling get out all the characters that are used in daily life as soon as possible."

"Tong Xi, you should go to Shangfangling now and tell Xiaofengzi to burn movable type according to this standard." Zhao Yao confessed, "By the way, let him do all the things behind." When the book was actually printed , It’s not like he just brushed ink on the movable type, and then printed each word one by one.

"Yes, Your Highness." After Tong Xi bowed to Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao, he hurried to Shang Fang Ling to find Xiao Fengzi.

"Actually, the movable type printing I have made is still relatively backward. There are many deficiencies and needs to be improved." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "I will improve in the future, and now I will print the simplest movable type. Get it printed."

Liang Zhaoyi reached out and touched Zhao Yao's small head, "No rush, take your time."

Zhao Yao asked: "Mother and concubine, I have created movable type printing, do you want to tell my father?" In fact, he wanted to tell his father in his heart, so that many books could be printed soon.

"Of course, there is no need to hide this matter." Liang Zhaoyi smiled at Zhao Yao reassuringly, "You made stirrups before, but this time it is not awkward to make movable type printing."

Yaoyao, your father will protect you well.

　The second watch is here.

　　I will not write in detail how movable type printing works, after all, everyone knows it.If you don't know, veterans can check it out.
