Two hundred thousand coins are not a small amount!

Usually people describe a person as rich, that's what they say, and they are rich!

Ten thousand coins are already considered rich, equivalent to more than 4.6 million in the 21st century.

Two hundred thousand guan is equivalent to 92 million!

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Even if they are not optimistic, some people are willing to try it.

This year's Lunar New Year's Day is a bit special. I heard that the emperor brought all officials to the Royal Academy of Sciences early in the morning.

On the wide open space in front of the Academy of Sciences, a bulky steam locomotive is placed.

Perhaps to welcome the New Year, the steam locomotive was painted in bright red and looked quite festive.

I heard that three thousand imperial guards were dispatched today, and even the Yulin Army stationed outside Tokyo had entered the city. Everything was very strict, and everyone had to carefully check when entering and leaving Tokyo.

But this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people.

Because today, the Academy of Sciences will stage a good show.

According to rumors, someone has already figured out how to make the steam locomotive move.

But there are also rumors that it is just a rumor and that is impossible.

It is best to be during the Chinese New Year. Once people who have finished their daily work, they like to watch once they are free. What's more, this time, the newspaper in the Song Dynasty said that they are allowed to watch.

Early this morning, as the sun rose, many people walked towards the Academy of Sciences.

Zhao Huan sat on the highest pavilion of the Academy of Sciences, and the person next to him was cooking a cauldron of blood for him and preparing sake.

Today, not only Zhao Huan came, but also brought the queen Zhu Lian and Han Chenchen.

Not only that, there are also the crown prince Zhao Chen and Zhao Huan's favorite little daughter Roujia.

Moreover, in order to cater to the emperor, all the royal kings came today, but they were all below.

The only person who was invited to come was King Kang Zhao Gou.

I saw flags like clouds on the clearing ground.

The princes and ministers who are always tall and above are now standing in a row, sitting around with guards.

In the center, Han Gonglian was full of silver hair, gentle and concise old rules and a rough-looking Sima Qi.

The sun rose from the east, covering the entire Academy of Sciences, making it look particularly solemn and dignified.

People also feel a lot warmer.

In the morning, thousands of people gathered here to watch.

At this moment, Seo Churen was always hanging in her heart.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, so many people gathered here. What if there are rioters?

The emperor is really a big heart!

Is it necessary to be so high-profile when building a steam locomotive?

If you can't run away, where will the court put the face?

Xu Churen felt that the emperor was so rude. He didn't know that he would go to find the emperor once, and asked the emperor not to play like this and be careful to get the ball, but the emperor didn't take his words seriously.

Not only Xu Churen felt that this matter was embarrassing today, but the princes also felt that they were busy today.

If the emperor hadn't been good at this, they wouldn't have been willing to come here to sit in this cold weather.

They always felt that since the emperor destroyed Dangxiang, developed the south, and alleviated the food crisis in the Song Dynasty, they all floated up.

I'm still obsessed with this mess.

If you take a step back, what can you do if you really let him run today?

Is this thing faster than a horse?

What if it breaks down halfway?

What's more, this thing ran on the cement road and it took a long time to crush the cement road.

No matter from any perspective, this thing has no effect.

Emperor!

You are floating!

What's the use of making these messy things?

Chen Yang, the Minister of Rites, stretched his head over and whispered: "Grandpa Tang, can this thing really run away?"

Tang Ke shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Grandpa Tang, the behavior of this emperor has never been beyond our expectations. Maybe he can really run away."

Tang Ke sighed and said, "So what if you run? This kind of thing is bulky and slow. The most important thing is that it is that it is too high for fraud, not worth it, not worth it!"

"Why did the emperor insist on running this thing? It depends on the emperor's intention, it is to make a lot of things."

Tang Ke was not sure. If this thing was made in large quantities, the treasury money would not be able to withstand a few troubles, and the amount of iron would be too high.

On the other side, King Jing Zhao Qi quietly said to King Ji Zhao Xu'er: "Brother Qi, what do you think the official family is going to do? Why do I feel that he is a little unemployed recently? This is inconsistent with our elder brother's personality."

King Ji whispered: "Don't say, this steam engine is really useful. I have inquired about it. There are already some big merchants who have purchased steam engines from the Ministry of Commerce, which is of great use for iron smelting."

"But now the government is asking it to replace the horse, which is obviously unrealistic. If you can't move today, the court's face will be completely lost."

King Ji continued: "What are you worried about? Being our King of Taiping will be gone without anything!"

Zhao Qi said: "Brother Qi, have you heard that the government plans to reduce our salary?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

"I also heard from you. I heard that the officials want to spend more money on these things!"

Zhao Xu doesn't like to listen now. They are the emperor's younger brothers and the emperor's own sons, and they are different from those ordinary royal families.

How could there be reduced tributes from princes in all dynasties?

"What's the use of this thing?" Zhao Xu's face changed on the spot.

If this is true, then you have to find a way.

Since the Su King’s case, these princes have sold all the land they can sell, and they are still selling it at a low price.

The emperor still encouraged them to go to business, but these princes were too lazy and supported by the court with high salaries. Even if they had no land, they would live like gods.

But now, I heard that the emperor was going to reduce their salary, which felt completely different.

Zhao Xu hated the steam-breaking locomotive on the spot. If possible, he would want to find someone to smash it!

The people were also talking.

"Then why is the Zhao official family so obsessed with this big iron monster?"

"I don't know, I heard that this person can act on his own while sitting on this thing, without a horse."

"What's the use? It's so bulky, can you run faster than a horse?"

"Didn't it be impossible to move?"

"I think it's hard!"

...

Twelve people entered the field, each of them holding a rolled-up drawing in their hands, and then stood in two rows.

It is said that these twelve people were selected by the Academy of Sciences during this period.

But in fact, these twelve people are all from the Academy of Sciences, and they each drew a drawing.

This was an arranged play, and the Academy of Sciences and the Political Affairs Hall discussed it. Since the emperor wanted it to move normally, they just wanted to do everything possible to satisfy the emperor's wishes.

But what Xu Churen opposed was that the first day of the Lunar New Year was held.

The twelve people began to present their own drawings.

But in fact, these are all drawn by the Academy of Sciences.

The current steam locomotives have been improved from different angles.

For example, to reduce the cylinder, to make the body lighter, to shorten the wheelbase, and to smooth the wheels.

In the past ten days, the Academy of Sciences and Military Equipment Supervision have invested a lot of manpower to build different versions of steam locomotives according to these twelve plans.

Then, twelve steam locomotives were pushed up.

They look different, some are big and some are small.

Their appearance immediately caused heated discussions among people around them.

Princess Roujia leaned on Zhao Huan's shoulder and said, "Dad, can those steam locomotives really move?"

"Dad didn't know whether those steam locomotives could move, but someone would definitely make the steam locomotive move. After the steam locomotive was built, Dad took Roujia to fish outside the city."

"Okay, Daddy!"
