Chapter 1220 Two idiots were sold out by their superiors but are still laughing like fools!
Yang Shaofeng felt as if a huge black pot had fallen from the sky, and Li Shanchang had welded it onto Yang Shaofeng's head without hesitation.
"When it comes to industrialization, the Imperial Son-in-Law is the one in the entire court who has the most experience and the most understanding."
"Whether it was a shortage of manpower or workshops competing with land for people, the Prince Consort had experienced it all."
Li Shanchang stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Why don't you speak first, Your Highness?"
Yang Shaofeng, with a dark and sour face, didn't want to speak. Just then, a Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) rushed into the Qianqing Palace, looking at the black sesame dumplings and shouting, "Your Highness, the Emperor has sprained his ankle in Huai'an Prefecture and said he will go to Ningyang County to recuperate for a while. During this period, the affairs of state will be handed over to Your Highness!"
Black Sesame Dumpling jumped to his feet and looked at the Imperial Guard who had come to report the news, asking, "What? You twisted your ankle?"
The Imperial Guard who came to deliver the message didn't dare to raise his head, but honestly said, "The superior... the superior said this, and the superior also said to have someone drag the Prince Consort out and give him fifty lashes, to beat him severely."
Yang Shaofeng looked at the Imperial Guard who had come to report the news with a bewildered expression and asked, "What? Fifty strokes of the cane?"
No, you old rascal, you're far away in Huai'an Prefecture, while I'm serving you like a slave in the capital. And yet you inexplicably want to give me fifty lashes?
This old man has gotten cocky, he's absolutely cocky!
You dare to have someone hit me, I'll beat your daughter when I get home!
No, I need to go and complain to my mother-in-law first!
Yang Shaofeng's expression changed rapidly, but Heizhi Tangyuan remained calm and sat back on the dragon throne, looking at the Imperial Guard who had come to report the news and asking, "Speak, what exactly happened?"
The Imperial Guard who came to report the news lowered his head even further and replied, "Your Highness, the matter arose because after Your Highness inspected Fengyang, you suddenly remembered the matter of the Prefect of Huai'an promoting water pumps, so you thought of going to Huai'an Prefecture to take a look."
"After he had finished his tour of Huai'an Prefecture, he heard that the prefect of Huai'an had acquired a new gadget called a two-wheeled bicycle. It was said to be three or four times faster than walking and could carry dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of cargo."
"Being curious, the superior went to Huai'an Prefecture."
"later……"
"When the emperor was using his feet to support himself, he accidentally twisted his ankle. Later, he heard from the prefect of Huai'an that the two bicycles were arranged by the prince consort years ago. So he threw a tantrum in Huai'an Prefecture, saying that he would drag the prince consort out and give him fifty lashes. He also said that he had twisted his ankle and could not walk properly, so he had to go to Ningyang County to recuperate for several months."
Yang Shaofeng's expression changed drastically. He turned to Xia Yu and said, "Quickly, have someone notify Xu Liang to tell everyone in Ningyang County who owns a bicycle to keep a close watch on their bikes and hide them properly!"
Old Deng is the kind of guy who will never learn from a fall. Instead, he'll want to ride a few more times. This kind of adventurous spirit is commendable, but the problem is that Old Deng is unreasonable. He might get beaten up after every fall. My backside isn't made of iron!
Yang Shaofeng was internally ranting, but Heizhi Tangyuan, Li Shanchang, and the others perked up.
It takes three to four times longer than a person walking, and more importantly, it can carry tens or even hundreds of kilograms of weight. What do these two descriptions mean?
This means higher carrying speed and efficiency.
Although the description only mentions two wheels and one person, it seems unlikely to be used for large-scale material transportation such as military food transport, but!
but!
In places like Jiangnan, where waterways are densely distributed, or on mountain paths unsuitable for oxcarts or horse-drawn carriages, the usefulness of two-wheeled vehicles becomes apparent!
Most importantly, apart from Yang Dianfeng, no one else present had ever seen this thing before.
If it's something new and unfamiliar, shouldn't we get our hands on it and see it for ourselves?
Black Sesame Dumpling chuckled twice, then looked at Yang Shaofeng expectantly and said, "Brother-in-law, what's this bicycle...?"
Seeing that Li Shanchang and the others were also looking at him expectantly, Yang Shaofeng could only sigh slightly and say, "This thing has arrived in Huai'an Prefecture but not in the capital, which means that there are still a lot of problems with it. To put it bluntly, the master craftsmen in those workshops deliberately let Xu Liang find fault with it. Although we can make a few now, I can't guarantee whether this thing is good or not."
If it works well, Old Deng might not twist his ankle.
Of course, it's also possible that Old Deng is uncoordinated and clumsy; in any case, it's all Old Deng's fault.
More importantly, Ayushiridara was just so angry at Liu Dingbei that he vomited blood, and then you, Lao Deng, twisted your ankle. What, is there some unknown bond between you two?
Yang Shaofeng's thoughts inexplicably veered off in an even more inexplicable direction, but Heizhima Tangyuan turned his gaze to the Imperial Guard who had come to deliver the message and asked, "Has the message reached Kunning Palace?"
The Imperial Guard who came to deliver the message bowed and replied, "Your Highness, His Majesty has strictly ordered that Her Majesty the Empress must not know about this."
Black Sesame Dumpling blinked and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, I understand. Go collect your reward and rest."
After the Imperial Guard who delivered the message left, Heizhi Tangyuan gave Yang Shaofeng a wink, and Yang Shaofeng nodded in perfect unison.
I understand. My brother-in-law means that he and I cannot tell our mother-in-law about Old Deng twisting his ankle. However, Jin'er and Yu'er bring Yang Baobei to the palace every few days, so it's perfectly normal if they accidentally let something slip.
Seeing the "collusive" appearance of Heizhi Tangyuan and Yang Shaofeng, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen immediately shook their heads inwardly.
The two idiots were sold out by their superiors without even realizing it, and instead they were laughing foolishly while counting money for their superiors.
Q: Does the person in charge know his good eldest son and good son-in-law?
A: Of course I have to know. One is a good son who was raised with love and care, and the other is a good son-in-law who can drive him crazy. How could someone who has risen to power not know what kind of people they are?
Another question: Since you knew, why did you strictly forbid the Empress from knowing that he had twisted his ankle?
A: Because the ruler knows that his good son and good son-in-law will definitely try to tell the Empress, and then the Empress will rush to Ningyang County to teach a lesson to the ruler who "does not cherish his own body".
Once the Empress is appeased, she can stay in Ningyang County.
The eldest son and son-in-law who have risen to power are still too inexperienced compared to those who have risen to power!
While inwardly cursing, Li Shanchang bowed to the black sesame dumplings and said, "Your Highness, industrialization is not urgent for now. The matter of getting on the throne and twisting your ankle is more important. We will take our leave now."
