Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 491 The Rapidly Developing Ming Dynasty
In the tenth year of Tianyan, there was drought and little rain in summer, and the agricultural officials ordered the water accumulated in spring to be sent to the fields through canals.

Old Zhu frowned and looked at Emperor Zhu: "You're exhausted with water. We heard that the National Academy of Scholars spent a lot of money to come up with a boiling water machine in the past few years. You really think boiling water can cure all diseases. "

"Father, boiling water does cure diseases." Zhu Biao rolled his eyes at Lao Zhu dissatisfied and said, "That's not boiling water, it's a steam engine."

"We don't care what he is, you are the emperor and you have the final say." Lao Zhu sat by the water ditch, touched the water pipe and said, "This thing is good."

Zhu Biao smiled, this was done by Zhu Zhen and Zhu Yunyang, the two uncles and nephews are very powerful now.

On the way, Zhu Biao told Lao Zhu a lot. The Central Plains has always been a place where the people are happy. The first thing they did was to open up territories and use troops outside the Great Wall. becomes important.

In the future, many things will not need to be pulled by carts and horses, and can also be used as farm tools for plowing the land.Going to Wuda Zhili will shorten the distance a lot.

Zhu Yuanzhang certainly didn't believe it. Even if he knew that Zhu Biao's National Academy of Scholars was responsible for the "Gian Kun Zhuan" that stopped on the shore, he wouldn't believe it if he could go from south to north in a day or two.

"Father, you'll know when you get to the Academy of Scholars." Zhu Biao smiled.

Old Zhu felt that even though he was old, he didn't want to argue with Zhu Biao, but he still followed Zhu Biao to the National Academy of Scholars.

The moment he saw the steam engine, Lao Zhu really wanted to swallow what he said before.He also fully understood what Zhu Biao told him before.

It is completely made of the hottest material in Ming Dynasty, steel. This machine is like a monster entrenched in the open space, spewing out streams of white steam, driving the remanufactured machine tool.

"Father, with it, you can travel from the capital to Beiping in one day."

"That's the thing."

"Of course the rails must be repaired first, like that section."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the railway tracks surrounded by more than a dozen national soldiers, and said, "Is this the case?"

Tao Chengdao looked radiant with white hair, and said, "Now we still need to solve the problem His Majesty mentioned."

"what is the problem."

"Sealing, the previous material is not good, and needs to be replaced with new materials. It's like soldiers using new firearms, which are powerful."

Several national scholars did not see Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu from Yuanchuan, and continued: "What do you know? This is the strategy of the Military Aircraft Department and the National Defense Department. One counts as ten. This spring, His Majesty and the British signed the "Ming Ying "The Treaty" is all the credit of the Tianyan army. The materials used in the training are much more powerful than what we used."

"Rubber and isinglass"

Zhu Biao walked over and said, "Come here, show the emperor this machine, don't discuss what's there or what's not."

"Minister obeys the order." Immediately, someone came to the front position and began to add coal, and the water began to boil.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and looked at the flatbed driveway behind the steam engine: "We are still old."

"No, the people of Ming Dynasty remember you."

When walking from the National Academy of Scholars to the gate of the palace, Lao Zhu said to himself: "The number of steps is getting more and more."

As the setting sun shone on the palace road, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The steam engine is good. As you said, it can bring different prosperity and opportunities to Daming, but it can also be a disaster. The people have enough food, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes. The common people of Ming Dynasty in the workshop have jobs and get paid.

Maybe the machine was the culprit. "

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but if my ministers don't create it, there will be Western countries. Whether it is good or bad, no one can say for sure, but these are enough for the honor of the Han family. That's enough. , As for the future, this is a matter for descendants, I am sure."

"Well, but we are very pleased that Daming can research this important weapon of the country."

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he walked forward.

Maybe at that time, thermal power can also be generated.Zhu Biao said silently in his heart.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhu Biao took the prince to the military aircraft department. The prince had a lot of credit for the treaty signed this spring.

Zhao Yunsheng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhou is far away in the Principality of Moscow, Duke Wei has gone to take his grandson again these few days."

Xu Huizu also has two sons now, Xu Da is naturally happy, Xu Zengshou and the others are also working in the royal shop.

Zhu Yu and Zhu Gui have also performed very well in the past few years. It is a good thing that they followed the prince to organize North Korea, Luzon, Cochin, Siam, Annan, and Java in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, Chang Mao sent a letter from Wa Island, saying that this year's grain on Wa Island has tripled compared to last year."

"The third prince is still in Portugal? Let him come back. I plan to arrange for Zhu Yan to go there in the Netherlands." Zhu Biao looked at the sand table and said.

"The king of Jin just came back from Nanyang, and the minister thought that he would give an order in a few days." Zhao Yunsheng explained to Zhu Biao: "The soldiers and horses of the king of Jin and the king of Qin have been counted completely, and they are classified into Zhongzhili. If we send troops in the future, The minister will re-elect soldiers and horses for them."

Zhu Biao patted Zhao Yunsheng: "Guo Ying has made great contributions to the imperial court in the past few years. I should reward the meritorious service. You arrange it."

"The minister will do it immediately."

This day is clear and bright, but it is an ordinary day in Daming capital for decades.

After the discussion, the cabinet members rushed back to Zhu Biao early, leaving Cheng Gang alone.

Cheng Gang has been staying in the official department for the past few years, and he also comes to the cabinet every day. After walking around the palace for a long time, his faces are familiar, and many people can say a word or two.

Left behind by Zhu Biao, Cheng Gang didn't know what happened, and stood quietly in the open space outside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Biao asked someone to move a chair and lay on it to bask in the sun. When he looked at Cheng Gang, he felt somewhat helpless.

"Your Majesty summoned his ministers, but I don't know why."

Zhu Biao said lightly: "Cheng Gang, I have said that the prince is not allowed to come and go with the courtiers at will, have you forgotten?"

Cheng Gang paused, and his surprise turned into panic: "I am guilty."

"In the emperor's house, human life is not a big deal, and after chopping and chopping, it gradually becomes numb.

If you don't kill others today, you will be killed by others tomorrow, what do you think? "

Cheng Gang's face changed greatly. This is what he said to Zhu Yuncan, and His Majesty knows everything here.

Zhu Biao squinted at the sun, and even Xu Da and Chang Yuchun consciously distanced themselves from their grandson.

Cheng Gang was bold and ignored the rules set by the emperor.

"I've let you off this matter. Don't do it again in the future, go back, and I won't keep you for dinner."

Cheng Gang wiped his sweat. He had already been frightened weak by Zhu Biao's words, and moved home in a daze.

Yuan Bao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Cheng Gang should not make mistakes."

Zhu Biao nodded.

Half a month later, news came from the National Academy of Scholars that Tao Chengdao had passed away due to an accident. Zhu Biao remembered his hard work for Ming Dynasty for so many years and gave him the title of "Unparalleled National Scholar".

Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty agreed with Zhu Biao's decision.
