[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Zhu Houzhao is already happy.

He's been waiting for this day.

After countless tormenting days and nights, the reason why Zhu Houzhao devoted himself so enthusiastically to the steam locomotive research institute was because of his interest. He likes all kinds of weird things, which are not weird enough for him to be interested. But at the same time, he was holding a breath in his heart.

But now, seeing Liu Jian worshiping at his feet, with a look of worship, he immediately felt great satisfaction in his heart.

He wants to raise his hands and put them on his waist.

Seeing this, Fang Jifan was worried for him.

This guy gets carried away as soon as he is proud.

Fang Jifan bumped into him subconsciously, and Zhu Houzhao leaned forward slightly, his hands were about to support Liu Jian.

When Liu Jian saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Your Highness...is really getting more and more sensible, and even knows how to be a corporal.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhu Houzhao looked back and said angrily: "Old Fang, what are you doing against me?"

Fang Jifan: "..."

Well, some people want to be mean, others can't stop it.

Liu Jian was very embarrassed, and he didn't wait for Zhu Houzhao to help him.

The so-called good stories about monarchs and ministers are all lies, at least in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.

He turned around, stood up neatly, and pretended nothing happened.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with an expression of watching the mentally retarded.

Zhu Houzhao also seemed to understand something for a while, but think about it, just let it go, what to pretend, he is not Lao Fang, this guy has extremely sinister thoughts, and his favorite is the one who seems to be mentally ill and loyal. One set, full of bad water.

Bengong...is so upright!

Emperor Hongzhi turned a blind eye to this, but turned around slowly and said: "Let's pass on the decree, Prince Zhu Houzhao, he has made great contributions in supervising the construction of steam trains. There are no rewards, just verbal rewards. As for Fang Qing's family...their achievements are not small. From then on, the town government will handle the matter of the railway tracks, and outsiders must not interfere."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongzhi walked out of the room slowly, and everyone followed suit.

And in this nuoda workshop, the accompanying ministers arrived one after another.

Everyone gathered around Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "The steam train is going to run in the past few days, and officials above the ninth grade in Beijing have to come and sit on the steam train, so that they can feel what is so ingenious, not only that, the blueprints in this room, Write three copies, one... to store in the palace, one to be prepared by the Ministry of Industry, and another to be sent to the car, so that all the officials who come here to take the car can come and see, take a good look, look at it carefully , I have seen it today, and I have changed my mind about this matter of benefiting the country. This is a university question, and I know how profound this knowledge is, but my ministers and workers don't know it yet. Just let them take a look at these blueprints while riding in the car, and let them know! After riding in the car and reading the blueprints, everyone must present a memorial. For nothing, I want to read these memorials, but to see if these experiences can give them new insights."

After hearing this, Liu Jian immediately understood Emperor Hongzhi's intentions.

If you don’t try this thing yourself, you really don’t know the mystery of it. Instead of telling the benefits of this train in the newspaper, it’s more intuitive for everyone to try it out.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed, looking at the surrounding Zhu Hanlin, he stroked his beard, and said happily: "Zhu Qing's family, you took the car first, how do you feel?"

Wang Bushi, Yan Xi and other imperial scholars, some were stunned, some didn't know what was wrong.

Wang Bushi said: "The chariot built by His Royal Highness is really amazing."

Yan Xi and the others realized that they didn't dare to say the strange words just now in the carriage, and they all nodded their heads in a happy manner: "Yes, yes, it's amazing, it's amazing."

Emperor Hongzhi became interested: "Since that's the case, today is just right for me, and I am quite interested. You are all very talented people. Why don't you take this steam train as the topic, and all the officials will sing a poem about it. How about helping me?"

Zhong Hanlin: "..."

Your uncle, how can you recite poems, sitting in the belly of this giant beast wrapped in iron, what kind of pleasure can you have? Looking at this dark monster, can you still recite poems?

This is like going to the Baihua Building, only to find that the building is full of gorillas.

Are you still interested in listening to their silk and bamboo, and talking about the past and the present with them?

See Zhu Hanlin looks like a dead mother one by one.

Emperor Hongzhi felt a little lost immediately, and waved his hand: "Forget it, Hu Zhao."

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "My son is here."

Emperor Hongzhi straightened his chest and said energetically, "I will leave the matter of entertaining officials to you."

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, as if he had already reached the pinnacle of his life: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him with relief: "It's getting late, and I'm going back to the palace. You still need to make a memorial about this car. I need to hear what you and Fang Jifan think."

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "I have already thought about it, and I will hand over the memorial tomorrow."

"Very good." Emperor Hongzhi patted Zhu Houzhao's thick shoulder: "Sometimes you don't have to worry about it like this. You are a prince, so you should pay attention to your body."

Zhu Houzhao Jr.

Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

This feeling is pretty good.

This is the first time his father asked him not to 'work hard', and he used to hate himself for not working hard enough.

Emperor Hongzhi first helped the Empress Dowager who was waiting in the VIP room to board the car, and then, surrounded by countless ministers, boarded the car.

Sheng Jia then left the station slowly.

In the mighty team, countless ministers and eunuchs are still reminiscing about the feeling of taking the train just now.

Some people are amazed, some people still think it is worth aftertaste.

in the car.

Xiao Jing carefully served Emperor Hongzhi a cup of tea that had just been brewed in the station. Seeing that His Majesty was in high spirits, he was also very happy. It seemed that His Majesty was so happy after being able to survive for many days.

He happily sat back on his little sofa.

Emperor Hongzhi held the teacup, sipped the tea, seemed satisfied, and then said: "Are you overly happy just now? To the prince, you can't show too happy, otherwise, he doesn't know east, west, north, south, and north. It seems... I didn't hold back. But...it was not easy for him. In the past two or three years, he survived. I don't care about his so-called talent. What I care about is that he is willing to really put his heart into doing something. And this incident is precisely for the benefit of the country and the people. In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered people to open up canals, which almost exhausted the national power of the entire Sui Dynasty, and also caused Emperor Yang of Sui to become the king of subjugation. But this The railway is no less than the Grand Canal. Since the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal has benefited the descendants for thousands of years. But in my opinion, this railway can become ten or twenty Grand Canals. It is enough to be famous forever. This is all the credit of this kid and Fang Qing's family."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, and the conversation was very strong at this time. He cheered up: "But I will not repeat the same mistakes. The crown prince and Fang Qing's family, they are not Emperor Sui Yang. But they insisted on digging canals, and at the same time they wanted to conquest Korea. They were far-sighted, this is how my prince and son-in-law of Ming Dynasty should look like, you see, they have even prepared the money for the construction of the railway, of course, these are Don’t tell the outside world, otherwise people who don’t know will think it’s extortion.”

What else could Xiao Jing say, he just kept nodding his head.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "By the way, what kind of flowers does this Baihualou sell? How can you have such a big family business by selling flowers? For such a big business, you spend seven thousand taels of silver a year without blinking your eyes." Blink."

Xiao Jing: "..."

This problem, he is very embarrassed!

Seeing that Xiao Jing didn't speak, Emperor Hongzhi looked displeased: "I'm asking you something?"

Xiao Jing's body trembled.

This...how do I answer, straight up? I can't say it, let alone straight up, if His Royal Highness knows, will he cut himself, even if His Royal Highness doesn't know, after hearing this dirty thing, why don't you slap yourself to death and call yourself obscene?

Xiao Jing knows His Majesty too well, His Majesty is a very dignified person, he only has one wife in his life, he turns a blind eye to all the beauties in the world, and he is extremely disgusted with certain things. It's okay if I don't say this, but if I say it, I will definitely be finished.

Xiao Jing wanted to cry in his heart, but he knelt down without saying a word.

Kneeling at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi, he said with a miserable expression: "Your Majesty, slave... I don't know."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned cold: "What do I want you for? Fortunately, you are still in charge of Dongchang, and you will always ask three questions!"

This sentence is heartbreaking again.

But Xiao Jing didn't dare to distinguish a word, he kowtowed like garlic.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, this servant is too stupid, now that he thinks about it carefully, his son is just a genius...

…………

Wang Bushi followed Yujia's team, Yan Xi and others were still chattering in a low voice, but Wang Bushi's face was red, more than 200,000 taels of silver, and he was about to turn over.

This gamble, finally, sees the light.

It's a pity... In this world, the vast majority of people are still shocked by steam trains, but they don't know that in The Wealth of Nations, it has long been said that communication is the root of wealth, such as along the canal, from North Tongzhou to Nantong Prefecture, and then to Tianjin Wei, these are all barren lands, but they can become one of the best commercial places, the root of which is this.

These poor guys are still discussing the pros and cons of the train, but they don't know that the noose has been put on their heads long before the tracks are laid. What's more sad is that they haven't noticed it until now. .

…………

Chapter 5, and more!
