In order to protect the lungs of the earth, Zhu Youjiao issued an order to require Zhu Cijiong's development of America to extend to the Panama Canal.

The entire South America was divided by Zhu Youjiao to never mine, and the indigenous people who still live in the local area were also driven out of the country, directly demarcating this area into a forbidden area.

Not only South America, but also places like Antarctic and Arctic Oceans are divided into forbidden areas. In addition to scientific research activities, other human activities are prohibited.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty now enjoys the entire imperial resources, so there is no need to develop at the cost of destroying the earth's ecology.

In the second year after the construction of America, Zhu Youxiao visited America once and had a secret conversation with his eldest son Zhu Cijiong at the Great Lakes Scenic Area for a long time. Since that secret conversation, Zhu Cijiong has never participated in the election for the Prime Minister of the Cabinet in his life.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the 51st year of the revelation of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Ming Empire had been going through three hundred years, and its territory had expanded to the limit of human activities.

But the Ming Empire's exploration of the new world has not stopped, and it is even faster and faster.

The number of academicians from the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Hanlin Academy has exceeded 10,000, and even thousands of branches have been established in all continents and seas. There have been thousands of national scientific research achievements awards on natural sciences and social sciences, and there are as many as one million people engaged in research. There are also tens of millions of gardeners struggling in the field of education.

It is precisely because of the increasing power and speed of development of knowledge and truth that the entire empire's economy is developing rapidly, the GDP has long exceeded 5 trillion silver dollars, and the annual revenue of the treasury is also calculated in trillion silver dollars.

The railway mileage has exceeded 10,000 miles, and the highway network has almost spread throughout Europe and Asia. Several bridges have been established on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and the first hydropower station has been successfully established in the Yichang area of ​​the Yangtze River.

This already means that the Ming Dynasty's power production method began to convert from firepower to hydraulic power.

Automobile technology has been improved again, the popularity rate has been further increased, and even various brands have emerged, and sedans have begun to be gradually eliminated.

Large cruise ships have also begun to appear, and citizens of the Ming Dynasty can even purchase tickets to go directly to the Americas or to Europe.

With the improvement of photography technology, movies have also begun to appear on the market, and audio films have emerged due to the development of acoustics and optical electromagnetic wave science.

In terms of military affairs, smokeless gunpowder has long replaced black gunpowder, and strong explosives in the body have been successfully manufactured, and various artillery and guns are emerging one after another.

In addition, with the development of polymer materials, various materials that can withstand high temperatures have begun to be born, which means that manufacturing aircraft or even spacecraft will no longer be a problem in the future.

However, Zhu Youxiao prohibits the invention and promotion of plastics, and also prohibits nuclear weapons experiments on the earth.

Therefore, many military weapons experts and chemical experts in the Ming Dynasty could only focus their energy on drug preparations, chemical textile industry, and other civilian equipment, such as washing machines, refrigerators, etc., and began to make it easier for human life. However, research on satisfying human interests began to become less popular.

But this does not mean that we do not study. China has been very interested in understanding outer space since ancient times. Now the Ming Dynasty can only regard aliens as imaginary enemies in military research. After all, there are no opponents on Earth, so we can only increase our research on outer space.

Zhu Youxiao didn't understand why his concubines were so interested in movies that only had black and white. After watching it for a while, he directly escaped from the Palace Cinema and walked towards the Imperial Garden.

However, at this time, the eunuch Chen Tingjing hurriedly found Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the people from the East Factory are here to report, Master Li is almost out of reach."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then ordered someone to send a telegram to the railway manager immediately, and he wanted to rush to Suzhou immediately.

It turned out that Zhu Youxiao established two sanitary centers in Suzhou and Hangzhou in order to make him live a better life with a group of old ministers who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty. Suzhou mainly consists of Humble Administrator's Garden and Canglang Pavilion, while Hangzhou mainly consists of West Lake. Now Li Mingrui lives in Humble Administrator's Garden.

Zhu Youxiao, sitting in the luxurious imperial box, looked at the prosperity along the way and felt a lot of emotion. When he thought of Li Mingrui, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic. Since he traveled through time to become an emperor, more than half of the capable ministers and officials around him have gone, such as Wei Zhongxian, Xu Guangqi, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang and others. Li Mingrui is the old minister who has worked with him for the longest time and has made the greatest contribution. Now he is about to die forever, Zhu Youxiao can't help but sigh that his life has become short.

When he arrived at the Humble Administrator's Garden, Li Mingrui was half dead. Seeing Zhu Youxiao, he could only stammer and shout the word "Your Majesty".

When Zhu Youxiao saw him looking at him in tears, he choked up with sorrow: "Old Li, I still owe you a prime minister, don't just go like this. I promise you that as long as you can get up now, I will make an example and use the emperor's life to make you the prime minister and let Xiao Yang stand aside."

Li Mingrui shook his head, said "No" and then closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao had to sigh and ordered the burial of Li Mingrui.

However, Li Mingrui died of his life, after all, he lived for 86 years.

After visiting Li Mingrui, Zhu Youxiao also lived in Suzhou for a long time, and lived here for ten years.

And in the past decade, the Ming Dynasty had begun to build its first aircraft and flew through the Pacific Ocean in a very short time.

Not only that, the research on outer space has also begun to make significant progress, especially computer systems have begun to enter the research stage, hundreds of years ahead of the original history.

During this period, the empire's political competition remained hot. Yang Tinglin retired in the fifty-five years after being re-elected.

Zhu Youxiao awarded Yang Tinglin the title of Xindubo, which is also a compliment for the development of America during his reign.

Zhang Dai continued to participate in the fourth election of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but in the end it was Gu Meisheng, who emerged as a sudden player.

Gu Meisheng was the first female chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, which caused a lot of public opinion in society. However, because Zhu Youxiao was the backer, Gu Meisheng still firmly took up the position of chief assistant of the cabinet.

Gu Meisheng was also re-elected for one term, but just before the election in the 63rd year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Ming Dynasty suddenly issued an edict of abdication, causing an uproar.

No one thought why the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who was in good health, suddenly abdicated, but the emperor's order cannot be violated. People are more concerned about whether Your Majesty really wants to abdicate to the crown prince Zhu Cirong, and who will be the new prime minister. By then, the emperor and prime minister who ruled the highest level of the Ming Dynasty will be newcomers, so what new look will the empire have.

Without any suspense, Zhu Youxiao did abdicate and gave Zhu Cirong, and also established an advisory committee. Yang Tinglin became the director of the Standing Committee, and his members were all old ministers, including Shi Kefa, who was over 80 years old.

Unexpectedly, this time the prime minister was not Zhang Dai but Li Dingguo.

Zhu Cirong and Tianqi ascended the throne and changed their reign in the 64th year, and the empire officially entered the era of Zhu Cirong and Li Dingguo.
