Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid: Bodhi Casts a Mirror Heart

Chapter 34 Yifang Folds the Lotus (17)
I led the emperor to the bow of the boat first, asked the man on the top of the mast to light the torch, and said loudly: "My lord, please see that although this boat is large, the bow of the boat is sharper than ordinary boats, in order to reduce the resistance of water and wind. Ordinary boats are rowed by people, so it takes a lot of manpower. In wartime, it only needs to be attacked by artillery fire. No matter how many boatmen there are, they will be damaged. The minister and all the skilled craftsmen thought about it for a long time, and then spent a lot of effort on the paddles and the boat. This big boat There are two propellers, both in the shape of a spiral, made of fine steel, and much larger than those of ordinary ships. They are hidden in the dark place at the stern, and are not easy to be found by the enemy's water ghosts. Sure enough, this ship can't escape Your Majesty's Dharma Eye!" I complimented full of emotion, "The hull of this boat is just bigger, so when it is made, it needs to be soaked in oil for a longer period of time than ordinary hulls, so it is stronger."

"You don't build a big boat for feasting and fun, but a warship." The emperor murmured while stroking his beard, looking at me with burning eyes.

Naturally, I told my ministers that my crime was unforgivable, and I knelt down on my right knee again.

The emperor pretended to stroke his beard and said slowly, "What is your crime?"

I slowly replied: "The Holy Master Mingjian. This year, Dou Ni's death is already expected. The Holy Lord ordered the King of Ningkang County to attack Xuzhou. The king in the north has been doing things for a long time, and he is not used to water warfare. However, Dongwu faces water and mountains, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is still good at water warfare. It is said that if you want to do well in your affairs, you must first sharpen your weapons. I am thinking that if you want to fight in water warfare It is cheap, and you must have an excellent warship, equipped with mighty firepower to have a chance of winning. The minister has been in Soochow for several years, and Zhang Zhiyan is very cunning. It was all made by the Zong family, a well-known water man in the south of the Yangtze River. I wanted to study a boat of the Zong family, but I was afraid that the Zong family and the Zhang family would become suspicious, so I asked the staff to order only a pair of keel under another pseudonym, and take it back for careful stitching and study. The Holy Majesty does not like the harem. I also understand this principle when I am involved in politics, but I am just being loyal to my husband and son-in-law's family and country, but I am indeed a woman of the Yuan family, so I really shouldn't interfere, but please punish me."

The emperor smiled lightly and said, "Does King Jin know that you have already started researching warships?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have indeed informed the King of Jin, and it is only with the consent of the King of Jin that I dare to take any action."

The emperor nodded, and said with a smile: "Mujin has said all about this group of people who are so utterly loyal, how can I punish them?"

He smiled and asked Feng Weicong to help me up, and asked me to guide him around.He sneered and said: "I don't like women meddling in politics, it's because I don't like those self-righteous, stupid and treacherous women disrupting the government."

He stroked his beard and sighed: "What Hibiscus has done is really a blessing to the family and the country, and the blessing of King Jin."

The emperor only allowed Shi Qingpei, Yuan Fengding, and Shen Changzong to follow.We slowly came out from the bottom of the cabin, and I naturally led Shengjia to the private room on the third floor. When I opened the door, the building was already empty and cleaned up.I hissed secretly.

The emperor fixed his eyes on a red sandalwood nine-story multi-treasure tree on the west wall, and took a kaleidoscope casually. At first, he didn't know how to play it. He thought it was a jade handle or something. He carefully held it up for him to see.

The emperor was taken aback for a while, but soon became fascinated. He was surprised for a long time, and smiled and passed it on to Shen Changzong and the others.

Shi Qingpei exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh, mother... Boss Jun must know tricks, why does this flower keep changing?"

"This thing is called a kaleidoscope. It uses the imaging principle of the lens to generate images through the reflection of light, and finally forms these beautiful patterns." I said fluently and calmly.

Everyone looked at me blankly, and blinked their eight eyes for a long time, expressing that they didn't understand anything.
