Chapter 430 The Ancients Were Very Smart
"Baolai, push faster! Yes! Faster!" Yin still felt very curious, but where should I put my feet? Forget it, just cross them on the diagonal bar in front.
After Baolai pushed his master for a lap, he felt something was wrong. Xiaoxia, who came out to watch, had a few black lines on his forehead and the expression on his face looked a bit like an old man looking at his phone on the subway. He originally didn't want to care, but this looked completely wrong!
After the master and servant ran around again and returned to the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Xia said, "Tenth Prince, this is not how you ride a bicycle. How about I show you how to ride it?"
Yin? looked at Xiao Xia, "No? Did I ride it wrong?" Yin? was not shy at all, and got off directly, "Xiao Xia, ride it for me to see!" There is nothing to be shy about if you make a mistake, just correct it, and he will definitely be able to ride well!
Xiao Xia took the bicycle from Yin?. Xiao Xia had ridden a wooden one before, which was slightly different from this iron one. She heard that the Ministry of Industry was currently researching a bicycle that could be like a horse-drawn carriage. After all, some ministers were older and would never be able to get up again if they fell. But everyone is curious!
I heard from my master that the emperor actually hopes that every minister will not have any objection to the time of the morning court. After all, many ministers who live far away need to get up earlier.
Many ministers would have felt resentful about the change being made so early, but it had already been changed once, and these court officials were not the kind of people who would be so picky, but how could Kangxi not notice it!
When the bicycle came out, the first thing Kangxi thought of was that the court officials would spend less time on the road, which was equivalent to letting them rest more. These ministers would no longer blame him as the emperor!
Xiaoxia put all that aside and began to tell Yinyang how to ride. "Tenth Prince, this is how you should step on the pedal first, and then run..." Xiaoxia rode, while Yinyang and Baolai ran to catch up. They watched carefully as Xiaoxia rode very skillfully and steadily, but she just couldn't turn. When turning, she would stop first and then continue riding. "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Tenth Prince. I don't even know how to turn."
"It's okay, it's okay. You've done great. I don't know how to ride it yet. Come on, come on, I know how to ride it now!"
Yinzhen and Wenyao, who were chatting, also heard the servants talking about the noise outside, so they came out to see. Yinzhen's eyes lit up, "The last time, Mu Tou didn't learn, so we have to learn this well."
"Yes, once you learn this, you and your tenth brother can each take one and ride to and from work, which will save a lot of time. I heard that the Emperor wants to see if he can make one like a carriage," Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen and approached Yinzhen and said, "Actually, if the Emperor hadn't said it, I would have forgotten that there is such a thing as a tricycle. When you first start learning to ride a tricycle, it's easy to get confused if you learn to ride two at the same time. A tricycle has three wheels and it generally won't fall down like a bicycle, but its balance is a little different from that of a bicycle. Some people learn to ride a bicycle but can't learn to ride a tricycle for some reason."
"Is it that mysterious?" Yinzhen turned his eyes away from Yin? and looked at his own Yaoyao beside him, then turned to Qian Bao and shouted, "Move the things here, and get the fan."
"Yes, I wanted to tell the Emperor before, but it seems that the Ministry of Works doesn't need me anymore," Wen Yao felt that the ancient people were actually very smart. They didn't know everything as described in novels. As long as you gave them a little hint, they could draw inferences about other situations. They could even use wood instead of iron and make it very delicate and durable. They could also insert mortise and tenon structures into it to make different kinds of 'bicycles'.
