"Ouch! Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was so busy and confused that I forgot to tidy up my appearance. I'm rude, I'm rude!"
The old man looked at the clear mirror and quickly removed the brushes stuck on his head.
In a panic, he accidentally got ink stains on his wrinkled old face.
He quickly wiped it with his hands, but it evened out the ink.
Coupled with those panda eyes, you look like a national treasure panda!
"It doesn't matter. The first spring of our Great Qin is about to begin. Chun Aiqing is also very busy during this period. I can see it!"
Ying Zheng was in a good mood. Not only did he not express any blame, he actually smiled.
"Everything is ready now. We just have to wait until the day comes to distribute test papers to the students!"
The ink had dried up, so Chunyu Yue simply didn't wipe it off and handed it over to report.
"Okay! Haha, from now on our Daqin will be full of talented people!"
Ying Zheng laughed heartily.
With the implementation of the retirement system, many official positions have become vacant, and there is an urgent need for talent recruitment.
This time Chunwei can just solve this urgent need!
"Father, I have some good news to report today!"
Ying Feiyu put the small mirror into his arms and said with a small white face.
"Oh? Is there any good news?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, with a hint of expectation in his joy.
It must be no small thing to get this kid to say the word "good news"!
"That's right. Father, do you still remember the steamship we talked about a few months ago?"
The last time this topic was mentioned was just after the New Year. Now more than two months have passed, and the first ship has been built.
"Oh? Is this...is it ready?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng, who had always been calm, couldn't sit still. He stood up, put his hands on the dragon case, and asked in surprise.
"That's right! Huang came to announce the good news last night!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"Since the good news was announced last night, why are you saying it now...?"
Ying Zheng pretended to be angry and glared at him, then continued: "Quick! Take me to have a look!"
The train has been invented, and if there is a ship that can go across the ocean, Da Qin will definitely be the best in the world in terms of transportation.
"Father, you have wronged my son, and I also think about my father!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's furious look, Ying Feiyu was not in a hurry anymore and wanted to tease this old guy.
"For my sake?"
Ying Zheng originally wanted to go to the dormitory to change into light clothes and go out, but was interrupted by Ying Feiyu's words.
"yes……!"
Ying Feiyu nodded naturally and asked without answering, "The success of building a steamship is a good thing, right?"
"That's right!"
"Since it is a good thing, my father must be happy!"
"Um!"
"If you are happy, you will inevitably not be able to sleep, and not being able to sleep will affect your father's health, so I waited until now to report it!"
"Hmph! You're the only one who can say it!"
"Stop talking nonsense and take me to see it quickly!"
After listening to the nonsense for a long time, Ying Zheng urged him impatiently, not even bothering to change out of his jet black dragon robe.
"yes!"
Ying Feiyu nodded, and under the escort of Hei Bingtai, he went to the Wei River with Ying Zheng and other ministers.
When they arrived, the shore was already surrounded by craftsmen on three levels inside and three outside.
Everyone is curious about what this iron guy will look like if it is placed in the water!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my family's shipbuilding skills are passed down from our ancestors. We have built countless wooden boats and bamboo rafts. We also built many flat boats in the palace, but this is the first time we have built an iron boat!"
"It's like who is not? Can such a big iron guy float even if he can't stand it?"
"If it can't float, why would you let us build it?"
"Yes, didn't our Shaojian Huang do experiments back then! It can indeed float in water!"
"Well, I also believe in the young master, let's just watch carefully!"
"That's why I came here. When the train started moving, we didn't see how the ship we built moved. I have to take a good look...!"
The craftsmen stood on the shore with happy faces and whispered.
"Your Majesty has arrived..."
Jing Fu's voice was so penetrating that everyone present bowed and saluted, automatically making way for a passage.
"No need to be polite!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, walked directly towards the giant thing on the shore, and patted the hull twice.
"Dangdang..."
The hull made a crisp sound.
"This iron ship is really good. If you encounter an enemy, you just need to hide in the cabin. No matter how many bows and arrows they have, you won't be afraid!"
Looking at the ship covered in steel in front of him, Wang Ben said with joy on his face.
"That's right, not to mention bows and arrows, even crossbows with strong penetrating power can't do any damage!"
Huang Yuan introduced with a hint of satisfaction.
"This ship is made entirely of refined iron. Is it really unsinkable?"
Ying Zheng was very curious.
In the past, let alone such a big piece of iron, even an ax dropped into the river would sink immediately!
"Whether it will sink or not, we will know later. If we explain this, it will involve physics knowledge, which is quite troublesome. I will explain it to you in detail later!"
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
Today is the time to invite the veteran to visit the ship, not the time to talk about physics!
Let's talk about it, they don't have to do anything this day!
"That's fine...!"
Ying Zheng nodded and looked around the ship, "Then let's go into the water and have a look!"
"yes!"
Huang Yuan received the order and quickly ordered people to work together to push him into the water.
"Wow..."
The huge ship was pushed into the port on the Weishui River, causing a huge splash of water that covered everyone's faces.
Zhang Han reacted very quickly and quickly blocked Ying Zheng with his sleeves and robes, while he himself felt a chill in his heart and shuddered unconsciously!
Then he asked with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Get off!"
However, Ying Zheng didn't appreciate it and pushed his sleeves aside, as if this blocked him from watching the spectacular scene of the ship entering the water.
"Pfft..."
Meng Yi on the side covered his mouth and snickered, "I asked you to flatter me, now that's it. Are you ready to flatter me?"
"snort!"
The deflated Zhang Han gave him a fierce look.
This is a typical example of treating good intentions like donkey liver and lungs.
I've been drenched in water, and I haven't gotten over it yet!
"It floats. The ship we built really floats...!"
The ship entered the water, and the craftsmen on the shore cheered loudly.
The joyful mood was even happier than when their daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby!
"Navy aboard!"
Later, General Xin Sheng gave the order.
In history, after Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, he was sent by Ying Zheng to attack Yan together with Wang Jian, and made a lot of contributions!
After Ying Feiyu established the navy, he began to look for a suitable general, so he thought of this person!
Although he is not as smooth as Zhang Han, he is quite upright. If the navy is entrusted to him to lead, he will never make mistakes!
