A month passes quickly.

However, the court officials did not seem to take this matter to heart.

The hot topic of daily discussion is still the Western world, and many people even take the initiative to collect information from the public.

I asked if any Westerners had come, but unfortunately I got nothing.

Perhaps the only two people who care about are the people from the Ministry of Revenue and Founder.

No, there is also Li Yuanzhao, who is not far from him...

After half of the discussion in the court meeting, Emperor Jing felt a little tired after the previous topic ended.

He looked at Fang Zhengyi with great interest and said, "Fang Qing, I remember that you had a bet with the Ministry of Works a month ago. I wonder how you prepared? And the Ministry of Revenue, how are you prepared?"

Fang Zhengyi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have been ready for a long time. But I am afraid that it will delay the discussion of the court meeting, so I wanted to wait a little later."

The Minister of Works, Jiang Liang, laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is the same. The Ministry of Works has been prepared for a long time. Today I promise that you can enjoy the eyes of everyone present!"

The ministers' attention turned to the two of them, and the atmosphere became more active.

Li Yuanzhao was even more excited.

He has already experienced the complete version of Taoyuan County bicycles in advance.

That feeling is absolutely unprecedented. Taking out the bicycle today will definitely kill everyone!

However, judging from the on-site situation, everyone obviously has more interest in the Ministry of Industry.

Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that there will be many surprises today, so it's not advisable to take them out now."

"I won't make much judgment today. My dear friends can judge the winner together."

"Fang Qing, do you have no objection?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "I have no objection."

The first version of the bicycle in the county was built within half a month with the craftsmanship of Lao Qi and a group of craftsmen.

He also personally participated in the transformation.

Today's Taoyuan County bicycles also have some disadvantages, such as poor shock absorption performance.

Moreover, there is no brake disc, and only a simple lever structure is added to the large bar. When pulling up the lever, the rear end will be pressed down and the brakes will be rubbed by friction.

Overall, although this "rough" bicycle can save manpower, it will not be too fast, and such a simple brake is enough to cope with it.

The subsequent ones can be improved slowly.

Excluding the shortcomings, the overall shape is no longer much different from the style of grocery shopping bicycles in later generations!

Especially in terms of practicality, it is enough for ordinary people!

The most important thing is that the cost is cheap enough, and the cost is only a few taels of silver, which can be affordable for people to consume.

There is no reason why babies who benefit the country and the people will lose!

Fang Zhengyi is full of confidence.

"Well, then who will bring the thing up first?" Emperor Jing looked at the two of them and said.

Jiang Liang looked at Fang Zhengyi and saw him making a gesture of invitation, and smiled and said, "Then let's start with the old minister. I have ordered people to prepare and wait for His Majesty to summon him at any time."

"Okay, let's present the things from the Ministry of Works first."

Soon, two guards entered the hall and entered the hall with two trays. The trays in their hands were covered with red cloth.

However, looking at the shape, you can see that it is just long and flat, while the other is much three-dimensional.

"Jiang Qing, let's start."

Jiang Liang bowed: "Your Majesty, there are two treasures that I want to offer today!"

As he said that, he walked to the guards and continued: "The first of these is the porcelain made by the Ministry of Works using the latest craftsmanship!"

A handful of red cloth was lifted, and a white porcelain bottle was exposed in front of everyone.

This porcelain bottle is not big, and it simply depicts some vivid landscapes such as mountains, rocks, trees, flowers and birds.

What is precious is that this porcelain bottle presents a texture and brightness that is different from ordinary porcelain, and its whole body exudes nobility, and its body is like white jade, but it seems to have a glimmer of light.

Everyone loves porcelain.

The ministers were amazed and couldn't help but come up to watch.

Even Emperor Jing couldn't help but leaned slightly and looked at the porcelain bottle carefully.

Seeing this, Jiang Liang explained with great enthusiasm: "This porcelain is made of a new formula carefully prepared by many craftsmen of the Ministry of Works!"

"The quality is delicate and transparent, beautiful and elegant, and the colored face is as moist as jade. It can be called a diamond in porcelain. I dare to say that the scenery is great, but I can never find such exquisite craftsmanship except the Ministry of Works!"

After saying that, Jiang Liang looked at Fang Zheng proudly.

Fang Zheng took two steps forward, looked carefully, and exclaimed: "Good porcelain! What a good porcelain, the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Works is indeed very clever!"

This is not a sarcasm, but a heartfelt praise.

It’s not a word. This bottle is so beautiful, and Fang Zhengyi also likes it very much.

It's a bit like the eggshell porcelain I watched on TV in my previous life, but it's not that exaggerated.

However, it is said that it is a diamond in porcelain, which is indeed a waste of porcelain.

After everyone finished reading it, Guo Tianyang walked to the center and presented the porcelain bottle to Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing picked up the porcelain bottle and looked at it carefully and repeatedly, touching it again, with a hint of joy on his face.

It is indeed a good thing, which can give people a beautiful enjoyment.

The Ministry of Works will indeed not disappoint.

"Okay, this thing is very good, I like it very much." Emperor Jing immediately gave a very high evaluation.

Jiang Liang was happy, and the folds on his face were piled up two more layers: "Thank you for your praise. Lord Fang, why don't you give me a few more comments?"

Fang Zhengyi looked at him squintly: "Okay, I happen to have some other opinions."

"Although this object is very ornamental, it is an embroidered pillow, which is not useful!"

"I see that although the Ministry of Works has brought out a rare treasure, it is off topic. The purpose of the Academy of Sciences was to benefit the country and the people."

"This small bottle can only be seen but not used. Moreover, I think its craftsmanship is very exquisite and the output should not be high. I am afraid it will not be beneficial to the vast majority of ordinary people in the world."

"It's good, but it's not suitable and lacks practicality. Mr. Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Liang was not in a hurry, and he still looked proud: "It's reasonable! What Lord Fang said is reasonable, but I don't refute it."

"So I have prepared a second treasure, please check it out!"

The second baby is released from the red cloth.

There was a sword on the tray.

Jiang Liang said: "The second treasure is a sword. Please show it to your Majesty."

Emperor Jing was even more interested!

The sword is more interesting than the treasure. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liang picked up the sword and pulled it out in a daze!

Everyone present flashed their thoughts.

White as frost and snow, cold as autumn frost!

The cold light just now passed by like lightning, which was enough to make people feel cold and terrifying!

"This sword is also the latest craftsmanship. It was made by more than 100 craftsmen day and night. The sword body is both hard and soft, and it can be used to cut iron like mud and blow hair and cut hair!"

"Try it with a sword, I want to see how sharp this sword is!" Emperor Jing said a little excited.

Then an imperial guard stepped forward, held the hilt of the sword around his waist, and slowly pulled out the sword.

Jiang Liang handed the sword in his hand to another guard.

The two waved their swords at each other, and the two swords clashed...

A crisp sound of "dang"!

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, the sword of the guard... was broken!

......

On festive days, I wish you all a happy National Day!
