The 294th chapter is not as good as a mule(1/2)

In the impression of Emperor Chongzhen, I hadn't been to the Royal Academy for a while, although it's less than three months since the last time I came to the Royal Academy.

Since the morning court was earlier and the scattered court was naturally earlier, Emperor Chongzhen chose to find a restaurant outside the palace to have dinner.

Of course, this restaurant was secretly controlled by the Jinyiwei, but there was no special place on the surface.

Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua were on the same table, while other Jinyiwei and Neichangzi were scattered around the table, ensuring that as long as there was a situation, everyone could surround Emperor Chongzhen in time and block all dangers for him.

Two small stir-fries, two stews and a bowl of rice, this is Emperor Chongzhen’s lunch.

It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen could not come too early or just right. The newspapers I liked to read failed, so I could only listen to the people nearby who were having a lot of talk.

Thanks to the rules set by Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty, and the repeated emphasis after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the people did not care about the matters in the court, except for calling Emperor Chongzhen a brainless person, there was also the rest of the casual discussion.

Since ancient times, it has been believed that the Chinese people have enjoyed discussing political affairs. Otherwise, how could there be so many keyboards in the world and the keyboard marquis who are talking about Xinjiang?

If this is the case, it would be fine. The key is that some keyboards can raise fish in their heads. Zombies are disappointed with their brain capacity and are used to kneeling down every day. They can't straighten their waists!

Such people may only be dung beetles interested in what is in their heads.

As for the hobby of discussing state affairs, I choose any other place, and probably no place can play better than the people in the capital.

Just like a taxi driver in later generations, not to mention anything else, as long as it is from the capital, if you talk about national affairs, Sino-US relations, etc., you can talk to you from the departure location to the destination, and there is no other way around.

No matter what is true or not, it is really fake, but it can be said that you can be stunned, making you feel that only people don’t want to govern the country. It’s really a pity that talents are talented. By the way, I feel that the masters are among the people.

This is probably the benefit of being at the foot of the emperor and being more informed.

The same is true for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, Emperor Chongzhen was shameless. While secretly sending people to spread the word in the Ming Dynasty how he worked diligently and loved the people, he also promoted a lot of publicity on how he led his troops to fight in person, killing foreign tribes.

In this way, the people in the Ming Dynasty would be even more happy.

Haven’t you seen why Liu Che, the Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, was praised for thousands of years?

It’s because this guy broke the Huns, and for the sake of two horses, he sent an army to conquer the Han people thousands of miles away. This is the best place to go.

The genes that have been planted since the time of Yanhuang will not change no matter what, even if they are just hidden.

As for Liu Che's later failure to govern the country, he made the Han Dynasty a bit like a waste of life. However, after issuing a Luntai self-criticism, the people of the Han Dynasty chose to forgive him.

Going further, most people know the word "Ming Jing" but how many people know the achievements and life of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing?

None of these two first-class emperors could compare to the famous Emperor Xiaowu's expedition to the Huns and the Western Regions.

From this we can see that the genes that the Han people are interested in conquering can't be erased no matter what they do.

Emperor Chongzhen thought this would be great, and he didn't have the energy to fight himself. Look at the Han Dynasty, even if he had to sing, he would still beat foreigners. This is the real awesomeness.

There is another saying in China that has been passed down for thousands of years.

If the superior has something to do, the inferior will be effective.

Or the King of Chu is so thin that he often starved to death in the palace.

With the leader like Emperor Chongzhen, the farming hall in the Ming Dynasty began to think about getting more land.

Five or six big men sat around a table not far from Emperor Chongzhen. They all looked like big and round waisted people, unlike ordinary people. A little further away, there was a Jinyiwei dressed in a flying fish suit.

The people in the entire restaurant did not take the people of the Jinyiwei seriously. As long as they did not scold the emperor, they would not care about what the people were talking about. Even if they cursed the prime minister of the dynasty, they would only think that they would have fun.

The leader on the table next to him picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said, "I guess the recruitment of soldiers should be about to start from the new army. We brothers can't kill pigs all the time, we have to try it."

A man next to him smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, you should have calmed down. Is the new army so easy to advance? I heard that not only have to be in good health, but also have to recognize words.

It is said that I have a wife. Of course, I heard this, I don’t know if it’s true or false.”

Zhao Er sneered, "You know, that's the reason, after joining the new army, a gentleman taught you to read, not asking you to read from the beginning. As for your wife, you just dream."

After saying that, he scratched his head and said, "I don't know those things that turn in the song. Can I learn them if I really want to learn them?"

Another man looked at Zhao Er scratching his head and smiled and said, "This is hard to say. What if you are Wenqu Xingjun descending to earth?"

Zhao Er was also amused and said with a smile: "You just arrange me with a damn arrangement. Is there a Wenqu Xingjun who kills pigs for a living?"

After laughing, Zhao Er said with some concern: "Not to say, this new army is really not that easy to enter. Except for the innocent family, you don't want anything that is a little dirty.

Our brothers have cleared their wealth, but they want fewer people."

He just said that Zhao Er was Wenqu Xingjun's man and said with a worried look on his face: "If you want me to tell me, this is still the Emperor's Majesty is confused. Isn't it just to recruit more people?"

As the saying goes, the Jinyiwei Captain, who was not far from them, just heard this person's words, and then sneered. After he went over, he picked up the Xiuchun Knife and smashed it down.

The man who was smashed did not resist, but just held his head with his hands and shouted: "Mr. Jun. Master! Hu Chai has drunk too much urine, and the villain should die! It must be that there were treacherous slanders in the court who bewitched Your Majesty!"

The Jinyiwei Captain fought for a long time, and looked at the other people who wanted to pull but didn't dare to move, and sneered: "Let's be careful next time.

If you urinate two liang of horses, you won’t know the southeast, southwest and northwest?

If the emperor hadn't been kind-hearted, I would have brought you into the imperial prison and entertained you well."

Several people repeatedly replied, and saw that the Jinyiwei Captain did not take any serious action, so he took the opportunity to help the beaten man aside.

The Jinyiwei Captain snorted coldly and sat back.

The brothers among the group were beaten and no longer interested in drinking. They immediately called the waiter to come over and leave.

Emperor Chongzhen also smiled.

These guys were polite to drink some wine. If they were not wronged by the beating, they would have been put into prison now.

However, Emperor Chongzhen said he was still very happy about the fact that someone wanted to join the new army and join the army now.

The more soldiers there are, it means that there are more horsemen in the hall. If there are more horsemen, you can grab the territory. If there are more territory, you will receive more protection fees. This is a virtuous cycle.

Of course, it would be even better if these bastards didn't scold themselves for being confused.

For example, the people on other tables were obviously a few of them with some spare money, and they were praising Emperor Chongzhen for being extremely wise.

For example, those who pursue Yao and Shun above and those who are matched with Emperor Taizong of Han and Tang below are like Emperor Chongzhen. In short, Emperor Chongzhen was a wise and powerful man. He beat Lin Danhan like a fool, and he could still come back to compensate him. This group came from the Xuanfu.

Many people in the Xuanfu were in trouble when Lin Dankhan invaded last time, but after Emperor Chongzhen fought in northern China, they paid compensation to them for the things they had returned from Lin Dankhan. Emperor Chongzhen himself did not keep them and all of them were distributed to the people.

A small episode did not affect Emperor Chongzhen's interest in eating at all, but instead made him eat more than usual.

After arriving at the Royal Academy, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked by the stupid, big, black and thick guy in front of him.

He told Xu Guangqi that the seven thousand books of the West were already on the way, and Old Xu was very happy.

But Emperor Chongzhen could not be happy no matter what the thing Lao Xu asked him to see.

This is different from what I imagined.

In the impression of Emperor Chongzhen, the old steam locomotive was like a rolling cylinder in front, with an upright chimney on it, followed by a cockpit. The front of the driving compartment was a combustion chamber, and shovels of coal were shoveled in and burned, and then there was a coal bin.

Below the lower head, there are wheels, and there are also a bunch of various connecting rods. Behind it is a carriage, either pulling goods or pulling people.

But what the hell is this big guy in front of you?

The part of the steam engine structure in front is not like what Emperor Chongzhen had seen, but is divided into two layers.

The lower layer is obviously a steam engine, and the upper layer is obviously a coal bin.

This is unscientific. After such a whole thing, how can I pass through a tunnel or something? Do I have to dig the tunnel high and big?

But this doesn't matter.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care. Anyway, it would be enough to use it well. As for what Xu Guangqi made this front of the car look like, just be happy with Lao Xu.

But when the steam engine locomotive really started, Emperor Chongzhen found that he still looked up to this big, big, black and thick guy.

Not far from the Royal Academy, there are two long tracks, and the front of this silly, big, black and thick car is located on it.

When he received the instructions from Emperor Chongzhen and the front of the car started moving, Emperor Chongzhen slowly followed the front of the car not far away.

From the beginning of the car to the end of the car, the speed of the so-called train did not exceed that of Emperor Chongzhen!

If you have to say that it has any advantages, it is probably that this thing will not be tired. As long as there is enough coal and water, you can keep running.

But for now, this thing is just a look.

Even the speed of running on the empty front of the car did not exceed the speed of Emperor Chongzhen's walking. Once it was hung on the carriage to transport people or cargo, then the speed...

The picture is so beautiful that Emperor Chongzhen dared not think about it.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said to Xu Guangqi who was standing aside: "Xu Aiqing, can the speed of the front of the car be increased a little more?"

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the speed at the front of the car is so good at this point. After all, the efficiency of the steam engine is indeed not high at present.

But Weichen is also discussing with other colleagues how to increase the speed of the front of the car."

Chongzhen said no, then said, "Take it slow, as long as you can reach a speed similar to a galloping horse."

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he smiled bitterly and had to bow to answer.

The speed of the galloping horse allowed this bulky big guy to reach that speed, and I don’t know if he could reach it when he was alive.

But Xu Guangqi also understood that what Emperor Chongzhen required was not only the speed of the front of the car to reach the speed of the galloping horse, but also the speed of the galloping horse while pulling the carriage while carrying the load.

But now, let alone war horses, they are not much faster than mules, and perhaps not as good as donkeys.

Xu Guangqi, who felt more and more trouble, sighed: "It would be great if the successor of the Mo family was still there."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "What is the Mo family not the Mo family? Xu Aiqing is much stronger than the legendary Mo family master. At least, the Mo family cannot create this steam engine."
