Chapter 412: The Training of the Concubine Xueba

"Your Highness, this is the Qingzhou newspaper today."

In the early morning, after washing up, Xiao Ming and Fei Yueer were having breakfast. Now, as merchants poured into Qingzhou, Qingzhou's supplies became more and more abundant, unlike in the past when they were rich, they could not buy good things.

Nowadays, Xiao Ming can always drink lotus seed porridge and eat some exquisite pastries for breakfast.

Take the newspaper from Xiaohuan's hand, Fei Yue'er started to read while drinking the porridge. When she saw that the green potatoes were poisonous, she was surprised and said, "Your Highness, these potatoes are still poisonous?"

"Yes, green potatoes are poisonous, so they cannot be eaten, but don't worry, potatoes that do not sprout can be eaten and will not be poisonous." Xiao Ming explained.

Fei Yue'er calmed down, "The potatoes are high-yield and delicious, but they didn't expect that they have this shortcoming. It seems that nothing is perfect."

After picking up the newspaper and reading some miscellaneous things published in the newspaper, Fei Yue'er continued, "Your Highness, are Aster and Green Ivy generally not in the royal palace? What are they busy with?"

In the past two days, Fei Yueer found that Green Ivy and Aster were always running out, which was very rare in Chang'an home. After all, maids should not run around.

Speaking of this Xiao Ming, he smiled and said, "Zaster is now in charge of Qingzhou Theater, while Luluo is responsible for the largest textile workshop in Qingzhou City. They are both very busy."

Xiao Huan was a little envious when she heard this, and she said, "Sister Ziyuan and Luluo are both amazing. No wonder your highness value them so much. However, I and the princess are so bored in the prince's mansion all day long."

"What nonsense is that you are so playful, I'm not very bored." Fei Yue'er's eyes rolled.

Xiao Huan laughed and stuck out his tongue.

"Xiao Huan said that you are not familiar with the people who come to Qingzhou for the first time, and there are no ladies from Qingzhou who can help you relieve your boredom. I am busy with government affairs, so I have made you suffer." Xiao Ming said with Fei Yue'er's hand.

Fei Yue'er smiled softly, "Your Highness should put government affairs first. As a princess, Yue'er should have helped you solve your problems, but now she cannot share your worries, and you cannot distract your highness? So please don't worry about Yue'er."

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of being busy, you are afraid of being idle. You will get troubles when you are idle. Xiao Ming understands this very well. Fei Yueer’s freshness has not passed yet, and it will probably be even more boring when it is gone.

However, Fei Yueer is a quiet person and likes to read books when she is bored in Chang'an. Xiao Ming had an idea and said to her: "If you are leisurely, I have some books, so you might as well take them to read them."

"What book?" Sure enough, Fei Yue'er showed a look of surprise.

At this time, the two of them had almost finished their breakfast, so Xiao Ming got up and took her to the study room of the royal palace.

In the study, Xiao Ming dug out seven books on textile materials, spinning, knitting, weaving, dyeing and finishing technology, and dye chemistry. This was written by him for the textile industry. Now he suddenly found that these books are very suitable for Fei Yueer.

Since ancient times, men and women weaving, it is not too outspoken for Fei Yueer to read these books. After all, it is still in the tradition of men and women weaving.

"Your Highness, what are these?" Fei Yue'er looked at these seven books one by one, and her expression became more and more surprised.

"This is all about textile knowledge. Don't you like embroidery? There is also an introduction here. After reading these, you will benefit a lot." Xiao Ming smiled.

Now Fei Yue'er is her princess and her pillow-besider, so he naturally wants to improve Fei Yue'er's knowledge and make her the woman behind her.

Moreover, the textile industry is just an evolution of the female celebrity. Fei Yueer is in charge of this matter, which can help her relieve her bored life. Second, a princess takes charge of the textile industry herself, so she will not worry about the fact that this industry will not take off.

Fei Yue'er nodded and opened a book to read it. She was immediately attracted by the knowledge in the book, and her eyes could not be separated from the book.

Xiao Ming laughed when he saw this. Fei Yueer is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and she is the age to study in modern times. Moreover, Fei Yueer is known as a talented woman in Chang'an, which shows that she is extremely smart. He might have trained Fei Yueer to become a female academic master.

After all, Fei Yue'er will be the person who spends the most time with her in the future, and she will also receive a lot of knowledge through her experiences.

"Your Highness, this is great. The lady has always been unable to move when she sees books, and now she will not be bored." Xiaohuan sighed and shook her head, pitying that she has to accompany Fei Yue'er to study again.

"It seems that the rumors of the princess' love of reading are indeed true." Xiao Ming said to Fei Yue'er: "Princess, please take a look here casually. I have something to do and I don't know how to ask me at night."

Fei Yue'er nodded, with a hint of excitement about novel knowledge in her eyes, and she said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming turned around and left. He became more and more satisfied with Fei Yue'er. Most of the concubines in the harem regarded women's lack of talent as the imperial edict, and their daily leisure and thoughts were all on the palace fighting.

According to Zhenfei, the same is true for many princes. They either fight in their own nests or participate in palace fights between concubines in the harem. They think about messy things all day long, and there are not many women who can be down-to-earth.

It is precisely because of this that she is particularly satisfied with Fei Yue'er, because in her opinion, a woman who loves reading will not have bad character. Although this sentence is that Concubine Zhen uses herself to judge others, she is also in this era.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Ming went to the military workshop. Yesterday, Chen Qi said that the tiger cannon had made progress and he was about to go and take a look.

When he arrived at the military workshop, Xiao Ming saw the Tiger Cannon on the test site, which was a short and thick cannon with a forty-five-degree angle.

"Your Highness, this is the test tiger priest cannon. This time we used high-quality molten steel to make the body of the tiger priest cannon. The weight was reduced, but the quality was improved. The weight of this tiger priest cannon is only 26 kilograms and can be used in field battles." Chen Qi said excitedly.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. This time, Chen Qi did not simply imitate the Ming Dynasty's Tiger Cannon, but instead made a transformation on this basis, which made the performance of the Tiger Cannon more stable. However, the Tiger Cannon being tested is obviously not perfect enough because the wall of the tube is still a little thin.

During the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang made good progress by using the Tiger Cannon to bombard the dense formation of Japanese pirates. Moreover, the Tiger Cannon is suitable for mountain combat and is suitable for mountainous areas such as Japan and Ryukyu. Now it is time for Chen Qi to develop the Tiger Cannon.

"Twenty-six kilograms are too light. You can consider thickening the pipe wall, increasing the range, and maintaining the weight at about fifty kilograms. In this way, it is not very heavy during field battles. At the same time, the amount of gunpowder cannon can reach one thousand meters."

"Your Highness is right. This is just an experimental type. The official is preparing for the official model, which is similar to what Your Highness said." Chen Qi laughed.
