The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Shi Lidie rode her bicycle and strolled in front of the emperor and his courtiers.

Very fast and stable.

Seeing this, the little prince ran towards Shi Lidie excitedly: "Sister, I want to sit on this too."

Shi Lidie picked up the little prince and placed him on the bicycle bar in front of her. She held the handlebars with both hands and circled the little prince from the outside to prevent him from falling:

"Hold on tight! Wuhu~! Let's go!!"

As Shi Lidie shouted loudly, she took the prince around in the spacious courtyard again and again. The little prince sat firmly on his buttocks, raised his two short hands high, waving them constantly, and made joyful sounds from his mouth:

"Wuhu~! Wuhu~!"

Shi Lidie turned around seven or eight times before stopping in front of the emperor and the others. She asked them to carry the little prince down first, then she got out of the car and said:

"Qi'er, do you like it? Before you return to Beijing, I'll have them make one specifically for you based on your height."

"I like it!" The little prince clapped his hands.

The court officials gathered around the bicycle and marveled at it.

"How can it run so steadily with two wheels?"

"There's no need for horses to pull in front, just two feet can drive it. This can be used not only by ordinary people when going out to do things, but also on the march! If all the soldiers rode bicycles, it would greatly reduce the loss of food and fodder. I wonder how much money can be saved!"

"Yes, I saw the princess riding the bicycle with the prince just now, and it was very stable, without any problems. His Royal Highness the Prince must weigh at least 40 kilograms. If each soldier carries 40 kilograms of food when riding a bicycle, then wouldn't the burden of the army escorting the food be reduced?"

"Princess, what is the maximum weight of this bicycle?"

"Princess, I have a question. How fast can this bicycle go? Compared to a horse?"

"Princess……"

Everyone surrounded Shi Lidie and asked her many questions. Shi Lidie was at a loss and had to call out Zhu Xinghe, the head of the R&D department, to deal with these issues.

As for herself, she was talking to the emperor in private:

"Your Majesty, is this a surprise?"

"If one day, all the roads in the Great Yin Dynasty are paved with cement, then this kind of car can completely replace the horse-drawn carriage." The emperor said, "What's more, this car has two wheels, so can it be made into a three-wheeled one, like a horse-drawn carriage, with a compartment at the back to store luggage? Or, make it into a four-wheeled one..."

Shi Lidie gave the emperor a thumbs up and said:

"Your Majesty is indeed wise and can draw inferences from one example. In fact, we have already made a three-wheeled vehicle, but the four-wheeled vehicle is still under research."

"But your majesty, this kind of car has a big problem. Its wheels are made of wood. Wood is hard and easily wears out when it collides with the hard ground. In fact, the wear and tear is quite large."

"I do know of something that can be wrapped around the wheels to reduce wheel wear and tear. It can also make this type of vehicle more stable during driving and reduce vibration. However, there is no such thing in Dayin Dynasty at present."

The emperor suddenly became curious:

"What are you talking about? Do you know where it is?"

"Rubber," Shi Lidie said, "grows in tropical regions. There's no rubber in the Dayin Dynasty, but there must be some in the Nanyi. If we can find a way to trade with the Nanyi, or just conquer them, we'll be able to find it. The most important thing is that the Nanyi are located in the tropics and are rich in resources. In addition to rubber, there are many other things."

After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a long time before speaking:

"The terrain in the Southern Barbarians is complex, the climate is hot, and there are many dense forests in the mountains. There is a lot of miasma in the forests. The Tiger Wing Army has fought with the Southern Barbarians for many years. Although we won more than we lost, we didn't gain much advantage."

"Let me think about the matter of conquering the Southern Barbarians. You can first promote a simple version of your bicycle, which is suitable for short-distance civilian use. As for whether it is to be used for marching and fighting in the future, we will make a long-term plan."

Shi Lidie nodded at the emperor: "Yes."

The emperor suddenly caught sight of Zhu Xinghe, who was explaining the principles of bicycles to his ministers, and asked:

"Is that the fourth prince of the former Ye Kingdom?"

"Yes, the success of this bicycle is thanks to him." Shi Lidie said, "I only provided the blueprint, but there are many delicate parts in it that need to be polished well, and it all depends on his hands."

"He is quite a talent," the emperor exclaimed.

As the two were chatting, the court officials over there seemed to have received a satisfactory answer from Zhu Xinghe and dispersed one after another.

Everyone left the R&D department and prepared to return to the Princess's Mansion. At this time, the emperor spoke:

"I have been away from the capital for nearly a month. Although the roads are easier to travel now and the journey time is shorter, it is not advisable for me to leave the capital for too long. I have decided to return to the capital in three days."

"Xiao Die, before I leave, can you write me a summary of the development and changes of your fiefdom in the past few years? In addition, write me a summary of the new things I have seen in your fiefdom, such as water wheels, vegetable greenhouses, sugar making methods, oil pressing methods, etc. After I return, I can discuss with the court officials and decide whether to gradually promote these things throughout the country."

"After all, the population and area of ​​your fiefdom are always limited, but the territory of the Dayin Dynasty is vast, and there is also the former land of Ye State that has been incorporated into the territory. If you want to develop all of it to the level of your fiefdom, it will be a long and arduous journey."

Shi Lidie listened to the emperor's words and nodded immediately:

"Why not? Your Majesty, I am doing this in my fiefdom so that one day you can promote these things that will benefit the people throughout the country."

"My case is both a pilot project, a tracing of the road across the country to find the most suitable solution for subsequent promotion; it is also a successful example. Only when I have achieved results can I dare to propose it to you for promotion across the country."

"Fortunately, the hard work of the past few years has not been in vain. You and the court officials have seen the results here. Now that you want to reform, I believe there will be much less resistance."

Reforms in ancient feudal dynasties have always been accompanied by resistance and blood.

After all, interests are a huge piece of cake. If the effect of reform is too much biased towards the people, it will touch the cake of the rich in the upper class, and naturally someone will stop it.

But now, Shi Lidie's fiefdom has proved that changing some things can indeed make the country better.

If anyone tries to stop it at this time, he will be a national parasite and will not be able to stand.

In the next few days, Shi Lidie and Chen Zhao, along with a few other girls, were busy organizing all the things the emperor wanted. There was not only an overview of the development of the fiefdom, but also some new things that she thought could be promoted nationwide.

Shi Lidie handed over many drawings, formulas, and very important core secrets without reservation.

By doing this, she was also showing her loyalty to the emperor.

She wanted to use this opportunity to tell the emperor that she had always been loyal to the Dayin Dynasty. Even though the emperor allowed her the right to conscript soldiers in her fiefdom, she had never crossed this red line and was only developing agriculture and the economy.
