After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 191: Not everything needs to be meaningful!
In the Golden Palace.

Listening to the old Taoist's story.

All the ministers were stunned.

"Want to go to the polar regions again? Want to explore the frozen ocean again?"

"Does this old Taoist really feel tired of living? How dare he go to a place like this?"

"How thick must this iceberg be that even a steam treasure ship can't break through it!"

"To explore the extremely cold land that no one has ever been to, this old Taoist has a truly ambitious ambition!"

"How could Taoism, which used to deceive the world with its overseas immortal mountains, actually produce such a legendary person?!"

"..."

The ministers discussed it a lot.

In their words.

Although I don't understand the old Taoist's behavior.

But no one was really mocking or ridiculing it.

because.

No matter what this old Taoist is thinking.

His behavior can be called legendary!

Explore the ocean!

Explore the polar regions!

Use your life to explore the unknown of the world!
How could anyone laugh at such a person!

Even those officials from aristocratic families changed their views on Taoism after seeing this scene.

"This kind of religion can produce such people. It's simply...amazing!"

An official from an aristocratic family couldn't help but speak up.

The others also nodded in agreement.

but.

Wang Qianhe shook his head.

"It's not religion that produces such people."

"It's just that he happened to be born into religion."

"Or."

"The development of Yuguo."

"So that he can survive without worrying about food."

"But you can realize your ambitions!"

Wang Qianhe expressed his thoughts.

If.

The country of Yu was in a time of turmoil.

The people were starving.

The people were in turmoil.

Even if there are more people like the old Taoist, in the end they will just live for the sake of living.

Even if you have had thousands of ambitions in your heart, in the end you will have to bow to reality!
Wang Qianhe shook his head.

He suddenly understood now.

Why is it possible that the dynasty ruled by Chen Huaixin has the most people whose names are recorded in history?

Because when most people have no worries about food and clothing, some people will naturally realize their ambitions.

“These ambitions.”

“Once it’s achieved.”

"It is very likely that those who come after me will remember it forever."

"Although in our opinion... this may be meaningless!"

Wang Qianhe sighed.

It’s like the Taoist priest is going to explore the polar regions.

If you say that it has meaning, actually it has no meaning, because even if the polar regions are really explored, at most it can record a new frozen ocean continent.

But for the common people, for the vast majority of ordinary people, this is at most just an interesting story. Some people may even say, what does this have to do with them, and how can it affect the little money they earn every day?

"But at least."

"For the old Taoist."

“This is the most meaningful thing!”

“For people with ambition.”

“Achieving ambition is a lifelong dream!”

"This... is enough!"

Wang Qianhe looked towards the Jiantian Mirror.

He was looking forward to it.

He very much hopes so.

The old Taoist was able to come back from that distant polar region.

You don’t need to bring back anything, you don’t need to do anything to help the country, just being safe and sound is enough!

“Bring back the story about the polar regions.”

“Bring back the courage to explore.”

"Let future generations know."

"In the distant past."

"Someone has challenged the unknown!"

……

[Twenty-third year of Jingping, December.]

【With the instigation of the imperial court. 】

【The old man's experience spread all over the country! 】

【For a while.】

[People are discussing this.]

【Everyone knows.】

【In Taoism.】

[There is also such a legendary Taoist priest! 】

[“This is a reward from the court.”]

“What he did.”

【“It shouldn’t be unknown!”】

[“It should be remembered for generations to come!”]

【This is what Chen Huaixin said himself.】

【As for Taoism. 】

【This is an extremely joyful thing. 】

【because.】

【This represents. 】

【Their Taoism finally has someone who can show off his talent.】

[Can compete with Buddhist monks! ]

【but. 】

【The Taoist leader.】

【He still gave up this opportunity! 】

【"after all."】

【“Senior Brother.”】

[“I’m not someone who cares about fame or fortune.”]

[“He has greater things to do.”]

"We may not be able to provide much help."

[“But at least it can make this matter... a little more pure!”]

[The Taoist leader said to the Taoists.]

【The senior brother in his words. 】

[Of course he is an experienced person. ]

[We have gone out to sea many times to discover new continents, and we are going to explore the mysterious frozen ocean again. 】

[These experiences are enough to make the Taoist priest a transcendent being in Taoism.]

[Before this, the Taoist leaders had hoped several times that the Taoist master would come back so that their Taoism could once again have a fair fight with Buddhism.]

[But now he feels that even if Buddhism is slightly suppressed, it is not something that he cannot accept, because their brother is destined to go down in history! ]

[“Then all we can do is not to bring him any stain!”]

[“Promoting monks like Buddhism is undoubtedly consuming the monks’ reputation.”]

[“Although it does expand the influence, it will also make some people feel disgusted!”]

[“I am a Taoist…”]

[“I don’t like that!”]

【The Taoist leader made a decision.】

[He allowed the old Taoist to relax and rest more, so that he could go out to sea to explore the mysterious frozen continent after the New Year.]

【but. 】

【He didn't expect it. 】

[What he did actually made Lao Dao more famous! ]

[Many people could not see the Taoist priests, so they could only buy a few Taoist novels. Taoism, which was originally suppressed by Buddhism, once again began to compete with Buddhism! ]

[This surprised the Taoist leader, and also made Master Xinkong somewhat helpless.]

[He really didn't expect that such a great talent could emerge from that group of idiots! ]

【Take going to sea as your lifelong career. 】

【Take exploration as your life goal! 】

【“If it’s that old Taoist.”】

【“I am willing to join my Buddhism.”】

[“This poor monk…”]

【“I’m willing to give him this position!”】

【Master Xinkong sighed several times.】

【As for such a person, he was full of admiration in his heart. Not only did he not have any intention of targeting him, he even wanted to donate a batch of supplies to the old Taoist on behalf of Buddhism.】

[“This is my Buddhist wish. I hope the Heavenly Master can return safely!”]

【Master Xinkong personally brought the supplies and sent them to Taoism.】

[While this shocked the Taoists, it also made more people hope to go to the polar regions with the Taoist master! ]

【certainly. 】

【Among these people. 】

[Some do it for fame and fortune.]

[Some are after wealth.] [Only a very few are sincere and want to explore the frozen continent!]

【but. 】

【one way or another.】

So much attention.

【This makes Lao Dao more and more famous. 】

【Also let the exploration of the polar regions spread more and more! 】

[“No matter success or failure.”]

[“This old Taoist…”]

[“You will all become the first people to explore the polar regions!”]

[After hearing this, Chen Huaixin said with deep emotion.]

【He knows that, too.】

【This matter.】

[It will inevitably stimulate more people to explore the mystery and the unknown. ]

[Even if a large part of this is true, it will be meaningless.]

【"but."】

[“Things of this world.”]

[“Why does everything have to be meaningful?”]

[“This is a lifestyle that you choose!”]

[“It can also allow the people to…”]

[“No need to be bound by the rules and regulations of the past!”]

……

[January, the 24th year of Jingping.]

【Chen Huaixin is fifty years old.】

His hair is not completely gray.

【But the wrinkles on the face are already visible. 】

【but. 】

[He is still full of energy and spirit.]

【Especially.】

【When I was at Dayu Research Institute. 】

[The sound of him and Ji Changxi discussing.]

[Sometimes it can even be transmitted outside! ]

【certainly. 】

Most of the time.

[It is still Ji Changxi who is talking alone! ]

[“For the new power plant, what do you think is suitable as fuel? Coal?”]

[“Although this thing is durable, I always feel that the power it generates is insufficient. Can you change it to something else?”]

[“But what is there in my country that is suitable for burning now?”]

[“How about using explosives as fuel? The temperature it releases is also very high, right?”]

【“…”】

【Ji Changxi chirps. 】

【Since it was discovered that steam-powered flying machines were not feasible. 】

【Since it was discovered that the steam engine was not perfect. 】

[Ji Changxi plunged into the research institute, hoping to continue researching the new power device.]

【Although.】

Compared to when I was young.

Her brain activity has decreased.

[But it is still difficult for others to surpass her. ]

[Although Chen Huaixin knew that the internal combustion engine was not something they could manufacture, its industrial requirements were beyond the capabilities of Yuguo.]

【but. 】

[When Ji Changxi looked at him with longing eyes, he could only sigh and try his best to help her within his ability.]

[“Even if it can’t be manufactured.”]

【"But."】

【"At least."】

[“It can point the way for those who come after me!”]

【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】

【And with his help. 】

[Although Ji Changxi still hasn't been able to research the new power device, the data she recorded has filled her heart with confidence again! ]

[“If we continue to study.”]

【"perhaps."】

【“A few more years.”】

[“Or about ten years, like the steam engine.”]

[“Then we can come up with a new power unit, right?!”]

【Ji Changxi looked at Chen Huaixin.】

【But this time. 】

【Chen Huaixin did not give a definite answer.】

【Because if the industry cannot make rapid progress. 】

【Even if it’s thirty or forty years.】

[It is impossible to create an internal combustion engine! ]

【"but."】

【“Industry is something like this.”】

[“How can it be so easy to break through?”]

[“It requires a lot of people involved!”]

【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】

[Of course he knows it very well.]

【If you really want to make it. 】

[He and Ji Changxi spent ten years and could definitely make a primitive internal combustion engine by hand, but this kind of internal combustion engine has poor stability and cannot be replicated! ]

【As for the country. 】

【This makes almost no sense! 】

【because.】

[What Ji Changxi hopes for is that, like the steam treasure ship, as long as there is a breakthrough, the country will be able to manufacture it on a large scale, rather than letting it become a toy for some powerful and wealthy people! ]

[That would go against Ji Changxi's original intention! ]

【"but."】

[“Ji Changxi’s current plan.”]

[“It is able to create controllable flying objects.”]

[“Like the airplane in my mind, this thing cannot be manufactured in a short period of time.”]

[“But besides airplanes, there are things we can make now!”]

【Chen Huaixin's eyes caught sight of the hang glider placed in the corner.】

[At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Dayu Research Institute had not yet been established. Ji Changxi used this hang glider to attract his attention, and it also made Ji Changxi join the Yu country. ]

【now.】

[It has been covered in dust for a long time. ]

【It has been kept in the research institute.】

[If he hadn't seen it today, he would have even forgotten that there was such a thing! ]

[“No motivation needed.”]

[“An airplane that can also fly.”]

[“This should be…”]

[“Can this alleviate Ji Changxi’s obsession a little?!”]

……

In the Jinluan Palace.

Look at the decision made by the Taoist leader.

Wang Qianhe showed surprise on his face.

He didn't expect that.

Such a great opportunity.

The Taoist leader actually chose to give up!
"In order to make my senior brother's ideals more pure."

"This Taoist leader..."

“He’s also an ambitious person!”

Wang Qianhe said with emotion.

The ministers around him did not mock him. They did not seize the good opportunity because if they encountered such a thing, they might make the same choice as the Taoist leader!

Even if they have all kinds of filth in their hearts, pure ideas can cleanse their souls!
And among the princesses.

Ji Changxi also looked at the old Taoist with admiration.

but.

her attention.

Most of them are still kept in the Dayu Research Institute!
“No motivation needed.”

"An airplane that can also fly?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Ji Changxi opened his eyes wide.

originally.

I saw it.

After the failure of the future's own steam-powered flying vehicle plan.

She felt a little regretful, thinking that she might never see another thing used by humans to control the sky other than hang gliders and hot air balloons in her lifetime!
but.

now.

Chen Huaixin’s plan.

Let her face be full of anticipation!

Or.

The same goes for the ministers around him!
They all knew that Chen Huaixin would not lie. Since he said so, he must be able to do it!

"What new thing could this be?!"
