After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?
Chapter 168: Forty years old! Steam locomotive exploded?
Chapter 168: Forty years old! Steam locomotive exploded?
【Same month。】
[The court newspaper announced it.]
【Then let me talk about the policy for the people of small countries. 】
【Suddenly.】
【All over Yu Country. 】
[There were waves of discussion.]
【For the people of Yu Country. 】
【After understanding the specific situation. 】
[They no longer paid much attention.]
【"because."】
[“This requires traveling to a distant new world!”]
[“This requires going to a place farther than the small countries in Southeast Asia!”]
【“And what you get.”】
[“Just become a citizen of my Yu country.”]
【“Of course, there is no need to pay attention to this.”】
[The people of Yu State said this.]
[But their faces were full of pride.]
【after all.】
[People from other countries have to go through a lot of trouble to get the Yu country household registration book, but when they are born, they naturally have it! 】
[The court's current policy towards the people of small countries further highlights the preciousness of Yuguo's population. How can they not feel proud? ]
[As for the people of small countries, will there be any problems after joining Yu Country? This is not within the territory of Yu Country, but a great distance away from Yu Country, so there is no need to worry! ]
【certainly. 】
【There are some people from Yu country. 】
【I am full of curiosity about the new world. 】
【After asking the government whether they can join. 】
[Then the parents will naturally not object! ]
[“The cabinet had long anticipated that there would be bold citizens of Yu who wanted to go to the New World.”]
[“So for those citizens of Yu Country who voluntarily go there, we will provide them with relatively generous subsidies.”]
【"even."】
【“If you have a special skill.”】
[“You will also be given a management position in the New World!”]
[These local officials are very clear about the court's arrangements.]
[Of course they warmly welcomed these people.]
[When the subsidy was exposed, many people from Yu country also joined in. ]
【but. 】
【The most enthusiastic.】
【The one with the largest number of people. 】
[Still the people of that small country! ]
[“As long as we go to the new continent and cultivate it for ten years, we can obtain the residence permit of Yuguo?”]
[“Can my children receive education and take exams like ordinary citizens of Yu Country?”]
[“Of course I’ll go!”]
[“Don’t even mention ten years!”]
[“It doesn’t matter even if it’s twenty or thirty years!”]
[The people of these small countries know very well what the household registration of Yu Country means! ]
[Even though they knew that once they went to that new world, they would probably never be able to return.]
【But what does it matter? ! 】
[Anyway, they have no plans to return to their hometown, but this time they will just be a little further away! ]
[As for my own children, after they obtain the household registration of Yu Country, I can spend some money to send them on a ship and return to Yu Country from the New World! ]
【"and."】
【"maybe."】
[“The court will also establish various schools in the New World.”]
[“Our children can also study directly there!”]
[The people of these small countries all have good wishes. ]
[Even though we know this trip is dangerous, we are willing to take the risk! ]
[As for the small number of people who were unwilling to go and wanted to continue to work illegally in Yu Country, they were simply deported! ]
[“If there are too many, it will be difficult to manage, but if there are few, it is still easy to handle.”]
[The Prime Minister reported seriously.]
【Chen Huaixin nodded.】
【And when asked. 】
【What are the plans of the returning Taoists? 】
[The Prime Minister also answered very quickly.]
[“They plan to continue exploring overseas immortal mountains after the Chinese New Year.”]
【"but."】
[“The treasure ship that we had previously lent them.”]
[“It’s still under maintenance.”]
[“Should we replace their treasure ship with a new one?”]
【I have experienced so many things. 】
[The treasure ship naturally needs an overhaul. 】
【otherwise.】
【Then drive it to the sea to search for the immortal mountain overseas. 】
[I’m afraid I’m really going to be buried at the bottom of the sea. ]
【Chen Huaixin was also very clear that Taoism had made great contributions this time, and he was not the kind of person who would not reward meritorious service. In addition to providing Taoism with more conveniences, he also sent them a lot of rewards.】
[It would be reasonable to give them a new treasure ship the next time they go out to sea, but Chen Huaixin thinks there is a better option! ]
[“Give them a steam treasure ship that has been tested and meets the stability standards.”]
[“Ah? A steam treasure ship? Although this will be much faster, isn’t it too wasteful?”]
[The Prime Minister opened his eyes wide.]
【He knows. 】
[Nowadays, the steam treasure ships in the shipyard are basically the treasures of the navy. Using them to transport silver will not only increase the amount of silver in Yuguo rapidly, but also make it safer during navigation! ]
[Even if Taoism did make a great contribution, lending such a treasure to them, let alone the navy, even the Prime Minister would feel a little distressed! ]
[“If they can continue to discover new continents, it will be of even greater help to our country.”]
[“We can’t just limit ourselves to the Japanese islands and the silver.”]
[“The entire world… should have traces of my Yu country!”]
【Chen Huaixin said this very firmly.】
[During this voyage, the merchants on board did not gain much. ]
[Although the kangaroos brought back from the New World did cause quite a stir. ]
[But it is only limited to the curiosity brought about by things that have never been seen! ]
【“If you look at it from a businessman’s perspective.”】
[“This voyage was a failure.”]
[“If the imperial court does not support us.”]
【“Then the great voyage I envisioned.”】
[“I’m afraid it will die halfway!”]
【Chen Huaixin thought so in his heart.】
[He hoped that the imperial court, merchants, and Taoism could join forces to open the door to the great voyage of discovery.]
[But judging from the current situation, this is still not possible, and it even feels like it will collapse halfway.]
[Chen Huaixin naturally knew that overseas voyages were not easy, and it was just a luxury to want to open the door to great navigation in one go.]
【"so."】
【“Not even once.”】
【“Then many times!”】
[“With the help of a better steam treasure ship.”]
[“It should allow them to find more places!”]
【Chen Huaixin made a decision.】
[The Prime Minister didn’t say anything either.]
【after all.】
[Your Majesty's thoughts.]
【It is impossible to be wrong! 】
[“A steam treasure ship loaned to Taoism.”]
【"inevitable."】
【“It can bring back greater profits!”】
……
"Lure it with profit."
"Use the opportunity to join Yuguo."
"Let the people of small countries go to the New World."
"Chen Huaixin..."
"He is still very kind!"
Looking at the deduced future, Wang Qianhe said with emotion.
Of course he had guessed that Chen Huaixin would send the people of the small country to the New World, but he did not expect that he would not use coercive measures, but rather be so gentle!
This can certainly make the people of that small country more honest and reduce many possible hidden dangers, but if the people of the small country are allowed to join in like this, the population of Yu Country... I'm afraid it's going to explode, right?
"but."
"For Yuguo."
“There is no need to worry about food issues in the short term.”
"They naturally want as many people as possible."
Wang Qianhe was very envious.
If Chengguo could have provided so much food to feed the people, the country would not have been in such a precarious situation now.
however.
Yuguo uses various means to increase production.
They are basically built on the Dayu Research Institute.
In addition, there is the promotion of experimental fields by local government governments.
This is why Yu Country never has to worry about food shortages!
"so."
“This institute.”
“No matter how high the cost.”
“It must also be established!”
Wang Qianhe became more determined in his thinking.
As for increasing the support for Taoism.
He didn't even care.
after all.
Even if you know.
The so-called great voyages might bring huge profits.
"But."
"Our country has not even been able to develop the waters of Southeast Asia."
"What's the point of thinking about these impossible things!"
……
[Jingping fourteenth year, January.]
【Chen Huaixin is already in his forties. 】
【but. 】
[His spirit and energy are better than many young people.]
[If it weren't for the few wrinkles on the corners of his eyes, even if he was said to be a young man in his twenties, many people would probably believe him.]
【"after all."】
[“Your Majesty exercises regularly.”]
[“That physique is now at its peak.”]
[The Prime Minister smiled.]
[He looks energetic.]
【But I can feel it. 】
[That body...is getting worse every year. ]
【but. 】
【He didn't care.】
【Instead, he was reporting on what had happened recently. 】
【“Taoism and some businessmen are going to sea again.”】
“They said.”
[“This time it may take a little longer than before.”]
[I didn’t expect this.]
【They had only been at sea for more than two years. 】
【Yuguo has been updated again. 】
[After seeing the steam treasure ship for the first time and learning about it, he knew that this voyage might not be so difficult! ]
【"even."】
【"maybe."】
[“I can explore the entire ocean!”]
【The old Taoist priest went into the sea with great excitement. 】
[The admiral's face was filled with resentment, but in the end he had no choice but to accept his Majesty's arrangement.]
[After all, the Japanese island was recorded by Taoism. If we can find more, it will be a good thing not only for Yu Country, but also for their navy! ]
[Because the more important the ocean is, the more say the navy has. In the future, we want to have more ships, and we want the navy's steam treasure ships and sailing battleships to fill the entire ocean.]
[“I’m afraid this is no longer a luxury!”]
[The admiral is full of anticipation.]
[Chen Huaixin listened to the Prime Minister's story while flipping through the memorials in front of him.]
【suddenly.】
[He was stunned for a moment.]
[He stared at the contents of the memorial in his hand.]
[“Ji Changxi…are you going to start experimenting with steam locomotives?!”]
……
【February, the fourteenth year of Jingping.】
【After a year of research. 】
[Ji Changxi officially began to experiment with steam locomotives. ]
[“Don’t expect too much.”]
[“This is at best a semi-finished product.”]
【"because."】
[“There are still many places.”]
[“I can’t even guarantee the effect.”]
[“This experiment is just to verify… whether it can be successfully activated!”]
[Ji Changxi looked at the crowd and spoke in a very calm tone.]
【Compared to the trial run of the steam treasure ship. 】
[Steam locomotive she is much more cautious. ]
【after all.】
[Before developing the steam treasure ship. ]
[She has several years of experience in shipbuilding.]
【For a genius like her. 】
【Several years of experience.】
[I'm afraid it's equal to someone else's lifetime! ]
[That’s why the steam treasure ship was so smooth! ]
[“But the steam locomotive is different!”]
【“This thing.”】
[“I also started from scratch.”]
[“Even failure is better than one success!”]
[What a success brings is not necessarily a successful experience! 】
[It may be that due to a coincidence that even the researchers themselves were not aware of, it was fortunately that it suddenly succeeded. ]
[But if it cannot be reproduced, if it cannot succeed a second time, then the consequences may be more serious than failure! ]
【Chen Huaixin was also very clear that science must be repeatable and verifiable, so he was not surprised by Ji Changxi's idea.】
【And wait until the first experiment begins. 】
[The half-finished steam locomotive.]
[A large amount of smoke begins to puff out. ]
[This is exactly the same as the mist that comes out when the steam treasure ship is sailing, which naturally makes the admiral's face full of anticipation. ]
【soon.】
[That weird-looking steam locomotive.]
[When driving on this closed railway. 】
[Everyone present was shocked! ]
[Because this monster-like thing made of steel actually moved without the help of horses! ]
【Especially.】
【Its appearance! 】
【The shock it brought to everyone! 】
[The Steam Treasure Ship can't even compare to this! ]
[“If this weren’t a closed place.”]
[“If it weren’t for not allowing the people to watch.”]
【"I am afraid."】
【“There will be quite a few people.”】
[“Treat it as… a monster!”]
[The Minister of War took a deep breath.]
[He has already begun to think that if this thing appears on the battlefield, the enemy who sees it for the first time will probably be so scared that they will collapse to the ground! ]
[This thing doesn't look like a steam treasure ship. At least the appearance of a steam treasure ship is not much different from a treasure ship. And it has almost no reference, as if it appeared out of thin air! ]
[Not to mention the common people, even they felt very uneasy when they saw it for the first time! ]
【"but."】
【“This thing.”】
[“Now it’s time to move.”]
[“Doesn’t that mean the experiment was successful…”]
[“Bang!!!”]
[The Minister of Revenue has not yet finished his words.]
[The steam locomotive suddenly exploded.]
[Countless iron pipes propped it up, like a weird octopus lying on the railway! ]
[Everyone was also startled by the explosion.]
[Looking at the steam locomotive that looks even more like a monster. ]
[The Minister of Revenue's expression was extremely ugly.]
【"because."】
【“This means.”】
[“It costs money again!”]
[The Minister of Revenue was deeply distressed. ]
【but. 】
[Ji Changxi's face was very calm.]
[It seems that she had expected this explosion.]
【"after all."】
“It’s not stable yet.”
“Anything could happen.”
【“But this experiment also proves it.”】
[“My idea… is correct!”]
……
In the Jinluan Palace.
Look at the steam locomotive in action.
The faces of the ministers were filled with shock.
Even.
Everybody knows.
This thing is the research result of the future His Highness Ji Changxi.
But this monster-like thing can actually move!
They felt as if their hearts had suffered a severe impact!
"Incredible! It's simply incredible!"
"Is this a steam train? How can it be so... weird!"
"Why can't it be made into a carriage? This appearance is really unacceptable!"
"If you see this thing at night and it suddenly whizzes past you, not to mention humans, even those brainless animals would be frightened to death!"
"..."
The ministers discussed it a lot.
They always feel.
That steam train.
I feel uncomfortable no matter how I look at it!
Because this style has never appeared before, it is difficult for them to accept it for a while!
But Ji Changxi, who was among the princesses, had eyes that seemed to be shining as she stared at the Jiantian Mirror!
“Is this a steam train?”
“A facade constructed entirely of steel.”
"No human or animal assistance is needed."
“It can run on rails.”
"I just really want to touch it!"
Ji Changxi looked at his future self, and the jealousy in his eyes could not be suppressed!
How she wished she was now, able to create something that could change the world's perceptions!
Although the appearance seems to be unacceptable to others, it is this kind of thing that is out of tune with today's old-fashioned world that makes her like it even more!
"but."
"Pity."
"That steam locomotive still exploded."
"This should be considered a failed experiment."
Looking at the steam locomotive in the Jiantian Mirror, which became even stranger after the explosion, Ji Changning quickly shifted his gaze, no longer looking at it, but looking at his fourth sister.
But Ji Changxi shook his head and said, "No, it is actually a success, because in the future, my idea of conducting this experiment is to verify whether it can move!"
"Now that it has been successfully implemented, even if an explosion occurs, we can just make improvements later!"
She could guess what her future self would be thinking.
And judging from the deduced picture.
"perhaps."
"In another year."
"Then the steam locomotive research will be successful!"
"Coupled with the railway that is still under construction and runs across the entire Chang'an City."
"This monster-like thing...will truly bring about change to the world!"
