Yongqi came out of the study.
A simple wash, brushing teeth with salt ~
At first, Yongqi thought that there were no toothbrushes in the Qing Dynasty, so he planned to make them himself. He did not expect that after he described the shape of the toothbrush to Xiao Dezi, Xiao Dezi would bring him a tool similar to a toothbrush.
Xiao Dezi said it was given by the emperor.
Yongqi had given him too many items, so it was normal for him to not remember.
This toothbrush was already a modern toothbrush. The handle was like a short hairpin, made of tortoiseshell, and the brush was made of white horse's mane, which was locked on the handle by white silk thread.
It was said that it was imported from abroad. Although it was very novel, Yongqi had never used it before.
Now, Yongqi was quite easy to use. It was not much different from the toothbrushes of future generations.
After all, the Qing Dynasty was the closest feudal dynasty to the present, and everything that should be there was already there.
This included some shampoo.
Yongqi also knew that modern science was so advanced. Whether it was food or use, they were far better than the ancients. However, the hair loss phenomenon of modern people was much more serious than that of ancient times.
This was because the shampoo and conditioner used were all chemical agents. The pursuit of removing oil would damage the scalp instead.
Although the people of the Qing Dynasty didn't know much about chemistry and couldn't make shampoo, the cleaners they found were also decent. Yongqi couldn't help but praise them.
Soap, plant ash, flower dew oil, soap, and so on.
…………
Yongqi finished her breakfast.
He was ready to go to work.
The morning court session was only held every five days, so there was no need to go today.
Today, Yongqi had to go to the Ministry of Works to arrange for people to start working on the steam engine.
"Master, there's a person called Yao Zhi at the door who wants to see you. He said that Master asked him to come.”Xiao Dezi ran in and said.
"Yes, call him in."
This exchange character had come very early.
Yong Qi knew that this was the ancestor of Rao Liutai arranged by the system.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his thirties, about 160 cm tall, and with a mustache walked in.
" Host, please check and exchange for characters." the system said.
"Yes."
When that person came in and saw Yongqi, he immediately knelt down.
"This servant greets Fifth Prince."
"Yes, Old Yao, get up and talk."
"Yes."
Yong Qi waved her hand and asked Xiao Dezi, who was standing at the side, to leave.
Xiao Dezi went out with a long face.
Yong Qi glanced at Yao Zhi and checked his attributes.
[Yao Zhi: 35 years old]
Knowledge: Basic physics and gas conducting process, low-pressure mercury arc discharge mechanism, inverted Stark effect, molecular spectrum, etc.
[Special skill: Teach and educate.]
[Martial Arts: No.]
…………
Yong Qi didn't really understand Yao Zhi's professional knowledge, but he knew that basic physics was interlinked.
Electric lights, circuits, and steam engines were difficult for him, but for a physicist like Yao Zhi, they were just the basics.
"Old Yao, do you know how to do electricity? Making electric lamps?"
"Fifth brother, this is simple.”
"Okay, okay, okay. When you have time, help me get the electric lights in my house.”
This was a must.
"Yes." Yao Zhi was very obedient and answered whatever Yongqi asked.
Yongqi felt obedience and kindness from him.
The system's products were definitely top-notch.
"Do you know how to build a steam engine?"
"If you have the blueprints for the various parts, it's very simple. If you don't have them, you have to give this servant some time to develop them.”
"Yes, there are blueprints. Don't worry.”
"That's extremely simple."
"Do you know how to make simple machines? For example, textile machines."
"I can do basic machinery. It's extremely simple.”
"Yes, very good."
Yongqi's face was blooming with laughter.
I like your attitude, Old Rao.
It was extremely simple to ask anything. As expected of the person who had nurtured a group of physicists.
"Do you have a family?"
"Fifth Prince, I have family members in Tianjin. This servant came to the capital overnight.”
"Mm, no wonder you came so quickly. From today onwards, you can stay in the wang fu.”
"Yes."
Old Rao had been instilled with the knowledge of his descendants, and his living habits were the same as those of the Qing Dynasty. Yongqi did not need to help him get much.
Yongqi's mansion was very large and was roughly divided into two parts.
The front was where the servants, guards, and guests lived, while the back was where Yongqi, the future Fujin, and some of the servants lived.
After settling Yao Zhi down, Yongqi handed him the blueprint.
Yongqi brought the group of people to work.
He was going to prepare the manpower and materials for the steam engine for Old Rao today. He would leave the professional to the professional.
Yongqi didn't have to do everything herself.
…………
Arriving at the Ministry of Works.
Yongqi was not late and greeted the colleagues she met along the way.
After seeing Yongqi, this bunch of old fellows were all like smiling tigers.
Yongqi went to the leader's office first to greet him.
"Good morning, Lord Liu."
"Good morning, King Rong."
The two of them greeted each other happily.
Old Liu was a kind person. When he heard that Yongqi wanted to make a steam engine, he didn't make things difficult for Yongqi.
He found 20 craftsmen who had built all kinds of machinery and listened to Yao Zhi's orders.
As for Yao Zhi's identity, Old Liu only arranged for someone to simply register it.
What a joke. If King Rong wanted to build a machine, he definitely wouldn't do it himself.
Yao Zhi quickly got into character.
Yao Zhi was also very good at teaching. He had his own way of managing a team.
When the craftsman arrived, he first called for a meeting to explain the principles and knowledge of the steam engine and the significance of this project.
The craftsmen present were stunned when they heard this, but almost everyone's blood was boiling. They knew that they were doing something great.
Yongqi's explanation wasn't as thorough as Yao Zhi.
Old Liu was sweating profusely.
"King Rong, if this machine is completed, it will be a great contribution to the Qing Dynasty.”
After all, he was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, so he had some insight. He knew that if the steam engine was completed, it would have a subversive significance for the power improvement of many industrial equipment in the current Qing Dynasty.
"Haha, as long as it can benefit the people.”Yong Qi replied humbly.
"This old minister will do my best to help King Rong complete this great machine.”Old Liu's admiration for Yongqi was even more sincere this time.
In a sense, Old Liu was a good official. Under his words and deeds, there were outstanding students like Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan.
In his opinion, Yongqi was a very outstanding Crown Prince. She was open-minded, studious, passionate, polite, and most importantly, knowledgeable.
The Qing Dynasty was still in the manual manufacturing stage, and many industries were very inefficient. They were far from meeting the needs of the current market.
What Yongqi wanted to do was to use the steam engine as the source, followed by a series of corresponding inventions of machinery, leading the Qing Dynasty to start the transformation from manual to mechanical manufacturing.。
After communicating with Old Liu, many of Yongqi's views on the future of governance were approved by Old Liu.
After all, he was the Minister of Works. This was simply his dream.
Old Liu stroked his beard and nodded continuously.
The old and the young chatted happily.
Old Liu also kept praising Yongqi's knowledge and talent. This time, he was very sincere.
