The emperor is supreme and does whatever he wants. Diligent and honest is an emperor, who ignores the government and is also a emperor.

But are the emperors really happy? The answer is obviously no. Just like the saying goes: Mortals have the happiness of mortals, and immortals have the troubles of immortals.

As long as you are not a fool, you will have confusion and worry; as long as you have a sense of crisis and want to continue to hold the position of chairman of the Ming Dynasty, you must develop joy, anger, sorrow and joy for the ups and downs of the national situation.

Compared with Fan Xiaohui and Li Chengcheng, Zhu Youxiao felt that he was more worried than them. Especially when he knew the sufferings experienced by China in history, he had to develop a heavier sense of responsibility.

Chengcheng and Xiaohui, who had enough food and drink, was not so cruel. As long as they pleased the emperor, they would look very happy.

Perhaps, this is their happiness in the position of palace maids?

The emperor thoughtful and looked at Fan Xiaohui with gentle eyes. In history, she was her concubine Fan Hui; now, she is her personal palace maid.

Fan Xiaohui, under the eyes of the emperor, blinked her big eyes slowly, pursed her lips and smiled. She gently twisted her fingers on the hem of her skirt, and whispered: "Young Master, the birthday of the Birthday is coming soon, I have embroidered a small purse for you."

Pull? I really don’t have anything to use for money.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Take it to me."

Well! Fan Xiaohui hurriedly took it out, held it in both hands and handed it over.

Zhu Youxiao took it with her smile and fiddled with this delicate little "wallet". It looked like a small ingot, with yellow silk cloth and red thread embroidered with the word "Wanshou".

Releasing the small rope tied up, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his fingers and looked up at Fan Xiaohui, and joked: "It's empty, I didn't put a few silver coins in it, where is your money?"

Fan Xiaohui opened her mouth and seemed a little surprised, but soon she knew that the emperor was joking, so she replied with a smile: "The emperor is rich all over the world. How can I take those little money from me?"

Zhu Youxiao laughed, stood up, patted his waist, and ordered: "Well, the little wallet is good, I'll tie it here for me."

"The Emperor, it's a small purse." Fan Xiaohui was also happy to hear that the Emperor liked it. While correcting it, she stepped forward and tied the small purse to the Emperor's waist.

Fan Xiaohui tied her purse seriously, straightened her waist and raised her head, facing the eyes of the emperor and Xi, and couldn't help but give her a happy smile.

Zhu Youxiao reached out to touch the girl's face and smiled and said, "There is no important official business today. I have been stuck in this palace for a long time. I will take you out for a walk."

Fan Xiaohui nodded vigorously, her face full of joy. Her little appearance made Zhu Youxiao unable to help but pinch it again.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Although Zhu Youxiao was afraid of death and was afraid of kicking his legs before his career was not competed, which led to a failure in the good situation, the Ming Dynasty re-entered the old path.

This possibility exists. Zhu Youxiao does not believe that it will promote profits and eliminate disadvantages in a few years, and will make Daming a new look.

The decline of conservative forces is just a superficial phenomenon, and is the result of the joint pressure from the imperial power and new forces. If the emperor is replaced, conservative forces may not be able to make a comeback.

There is no way, in feudal countries, the emperor plays a crucial role. If the king is bright, the country will prosper; if the king is dull, the country will decline. There have been too many clear evidence in history.

Therefore, except for watching new weapons exercises and a few trips to the Academy of Sciences, Zhu Youxiao basically never leaves the palace.

Of course, security and security work has been strengthened. The guards in the palace, the Jinyiwei, the secret protection of the East Factory, and the public security in the capital are all quite strict.

With the purging of the palace and the purge of opposition forces, Zhu Youxiao felt safer. Especially today, if you have no scheduled plans, the possibility of leaking news is even smaller.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao believed that it was unlikely to openly assassinate the king and kill him. If he wanted to harm him, he could only use some conspiracy.

For example, if you offer immortal medicine, fairy water, Dali pills, and kidney-tonifying medicine, it seems that several Ming emperors were caught. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao would not take any such things even if he was beaten to death.

When he walked to the streets of the capital again, the emperor did not take a car. The bulletproof car with four wheels with emblems and steel carriages was too conspicuous.

There are plainclothes palace guards around, also known as masters of the big inner world. Now there are no sniper rifles or car bombs, and they still suddenly leave the palace. Zhu Youxiao is not worried.

Of course, the nervous ones were Lu Jianxing and others who were protecting each other. There might not be anyone who specializes in assassinating the emperor, but they were afraid of the eyes, but they must be guarded.

"Emperor—" Fan Xiaohui, who was following the emperor, just spoke, and realized something was wrong. Before the emperor could see her in a blink of an eye, he quickly changed his words: "Young Master, has there been any changes in the capital city?"

Zhu Youxiao was finely lit up his pavement, and added a stone-covered drainage ditches along the roadside to remove garbage. He also had three guarantees in front of the store. He did not work for the five cities' military personnel.

Obviously, the effect is obvious. Although it is very different from later generations, it has been greatly improved compared to before.

Thinking about the current Western Yi city, it must be dirty and messy, with a stinky smell. Thinking of this, the emperor pursed his lips and showed a little contempt.

With the sound of rippling wheels, a new carriage drove by, and the curtains of the glass windows were half-opened, and a half-covered young woman could be seen looking out curiously.

It was a female family member of the British government. When Zhu Youxiao saw the emblem of the carriage, he couldn't help but smile. Now that he can own such a carriage, he is either rich or noble. And if he can let his family go out by car, the British government concept is also changing!

Well, there are more and more vehicles, and the Five City Military Command should have more traffic command work.

The emperor thought to himself, reached out and pinched out a silver coin from his purse, handed it to Fan Xiaohui, and said, "Go and buy two bottles of thirsty water, there are some people who are selling it there."

"Young Master, wait a moment." Fan Xiaohui happily took the silver coins and trotted to the roadside stall. After a while, she brought two bottles of thirsty water.

Zhu Youxiao also had to admire the businessman's cleverness. He didn't have to hold a bowl at the stall to drink thirsty water, but made some pottery bottles, like small wine pots.

Hold the bottle of thirst water, you can throw it away after drinking it, or you can go to the thirst water stall to buy it. Of course, bottled thirst water is more expensive, but it is not without a market.

"This bottle is interesting." Zhu Youxiao looked at the bottle and took a sip. The sweet water with the citrus tasted so good.

Fan Xiaohui took it like a small vase and said with a smile: "Young master, I can put it in a flower when I take it back."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and heard the sound of copper coins in the girl's waist bag. He ran errands and got his bags. No wonder he was happy!

The Academy of Sciences is still in an old place, but it has built a branch in the imperial village outside the city. The main reason is that some work needs to be more spacious, and the noise of making utensils in the city is also a bit disturbing the public.

For example, the improvement of hot air balloons has been transferred to outside the city for production. Some crop planting experiments have also been transferred to the imperial village outside the city for production.

Even so, when the emperor and others came to the gate of the Academy of Sciences, they still heard the jingling sounds inside.

When they entered, there were not many people coming and going, maybe because of the diversion. Zhu Youxiao and others followed the sound to a courtyard and saw Xu Fuyuan and Wang Jizhong commanding the craftsmen to create something.

"The key is motivation." Wang Jizhong's face looked a little bitter and said, "I really can't hold on for long with my hands and feet."

Xu Fuyuan nodded and said, "It's really tiring. I kicked it once and my leg hurts for several days."

Zhu Youxiao saw an object next to him, which was driven by a belt and was a propeller-shaped thing on it.

I should be a power device that wants to install it on a hot air balloon so that the hot air balloon can move in the air in the direction of its control?

Zhu Youxiao felt that the purpose could be achieved, but as Wang Jizhong and Xu Fuyuan said, it was difficult to last with manpower.

Unfortunately, this is impossible to solve for the time being. The steam engine has not yet been visible, so there is no need to think about smaller ones.

"Brother Shen." Xu Fuyuan suddenly widened his eyes. After being shocked, he was surprised and rushed over.

Haha, you can recognize me if I have a fake beard?

Zhu Youxiao quickly bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, don't be fine!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Fuyuan rushed to the front, bowed his hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is Brother Shen so busy? I haven't been here for more than half a year, right?"

Wang Jizhong also rushed over, bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I waited for Brother Shen to come and give me some advice every day, but you are the dragon who sees the head but not the tail!"

Zhu Youxiao apologized and explained, "I'm really sorry for being plagued by earthly affairs." After a pause, he added, "I haven't stopped writing yet. I'm just like a face to see my words. Please forgive me."

"Just letters--" Xu Fuyuan shook his head, looking indescribable.

Wang Jizhong smiled bitterly and said, "We don't know the key points just by just a few words of guidance. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive to explore and experiment!"

It is only if you have to study and practice yourself that you are deeply impressed! Besides, I am not a scientist, and I am just a description based on my impression.

Zhu Youxiao smiled apologetically, turned around and walked to the belt-driven propeller, observed it, and said, "I think it will be more efficient if it is changed to chain transmission."

Xu Fuyuan and Wang Jizhong followed, heard the advice of "Shen Lang", looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Wang Jizhong said, "The chain transmission is also being developed and tested. If it is successful, it should be used first on the bicycle drawn by Brother Shen."

The bike is good, although it does not have the cushioning of tires, it also greatly speeds up the travel speed.

You should know that in history, there were no wooden two-wheeled bicycles with handlebars until two hundred years later.

Moreover, this kind of bicycle that can only move forward with its feet on the ground still caused a sensation. First, hundreds of them appeared on the streets of Paris and were equipped with postman.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and was full of confidence in the advent of the bicycle.

Looking at the propeller device, he touched his chin and thought about the ship driving. If he changed the propeller direction, increased it and turned it into a helicopter?
