Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Now it's not that technology can't keep up, but that raw materials can't keep up at all. Things like coal ore are simply in short supply.

Therefore, from Ning Fan's point of view, digging a canal has almost become an urgent matter, and the period of digging the canal cannot be too long, and this problem must be solved in a short time.

Even judging from the current situation, digging a canal is more valuable than building a railway. After all, the steam engine is still in the research and development stage.

"Your Majesty, I will hold a steam locomotive experiment in the suburbs of Beijing in three days. You must come and take a look then."

Ning Fan opened a memorial, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slowly, and the expression on his face gradually became excited. The fatigue of the whole day seemed to be swept away at this moment.

It seemed that his thoughts were coming to him. Ning Fan had just scratched his head because of the matter involving the Northwest Canal, and then he thought of the steam engine. Unexpectedly, he opened a memorial at random, and it turned out to be the memorial on Chenmeng River.

This memorial was placed at the top of all the memorials. It was done carefully and deliberately, so that Ning Fan could see this warm reminder immediately.

Ning Fan naturally wanted to take a look at the first actual test of the steam engine head. As a modern person who has traveled from modern times, Ning Fan is actually very unfamiliar with things like steam engines. He only knows the specific and general principles. But there are many things about its mechanical structure that Ning Fan doesn't know very well.

In fact, Ning Fan only accounted for one-tenth of the credit for the construction of this steam locomotive, and most of the credit went to Shen Mengxi.

In fact, Ning Fan found that he, as an emperor, did not have any taste at all. Other emperors expanded their territories and led armies to conquer personally all day long, while his emperor became a technical geek.

Staying in the palace every day is like transporting the technology of that era to this era.

Of course, Ning Fan did not stop doing things big and small. Not only did he transfer the technology of that era, but he also planned to bring the humanistic laws and constitutional spirit of that era to this era.

Of course, these must be done step by step, and all roads need to be walked slowly. Let the country become prosperous first, so that everyone has food to eat, and then talk about other system reforms. This is the most perfect route in Ning Fan's mind.

Even sometimes in dreams, these two words would keep lingering in Ning Fan's mind, that is, republic. Ning Fan would sometimes even write down the four words "towards republic" on paper. He even felt that he was confused, but sometimes he Particularly persistent.

Life is full of dissatisfaction and worries of a thousand years. If he had not traveled through time, Ning Fan would have been just a simple and ordinary special forces soldier. He only needed to follow the orders of his superiors to fight wherever and be a good cannon fodder.

But Ning Fan happened to travel through time, and his destiny changed drastically. From an ordinary peasant special soldier, he suddenly became the sixth prince of Dakang.

Then, driven by fate and his own efforts, he miraculously became the emperor of Dakang.

After ascending to the throne as queen, Ning Fan is also using his intelligence to change all aspects of society. Whether it is humanities or technology, Ning Fan's shadow is everywhere, and Ning Fan's mark is everywhere in the country.

Designing the Grand Canal in the northwest, Ning Fan had to write a novel for a while after each day. After finishing the novel, he had to review the memorial. After reviewing the memorial, he had to deal with the women in the harem.

This is not to say that Ning Fan is lustful. As the saying goes, Ning Fan is also normal. Men will naturally miss women, but if they repeat the same thing every day, even Ning Fan will have a rebellious mentality.

Of course, there are some things he must do, because the emperor does not have a queen yet, and the biggest instability factor in a dynasty is that the emperor has no descendants. If the emperor does not have a queen, the ministers will not know how to return to their hearts, and the entire court will be in chaos.

Although Ning Fan also worked hard, there was still no movement in the bellies of several women. This made Ning Fan scratch his head. Could it be that he was really not good enough?

"Er Gou, go find Xiangxiang from the Imperial Hospital."

It's not okay to hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Ning Fan now wants to have a good discussion with this female doctor who has great medical skills.

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Xiangxiang lives in the palace of the former Concubine Rong. In order to facilitate your medical treatment and to pay attention to your body at all times, Miss Xiangxiang will come every day. He will come a little later today."

Ergou leaned into Ning Fan's ear and said.

Of course Ning Fan knew that Xiangxiang would come today, but what he wanted was not the answer. If Xiangxiang arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the two of them wouldn't be able to do much later.

"Forget it, I really feel uncomfortable, and I want to ask Miss Xiangxiang to help me take a look immediately."

Ning Fan stood up and stretched. He really couldn't wait any longer.

Ergou hurriedly prepared a sedan chair, and carried Ning Fan up dozens of steps toward Concubine Rong's palace.

Originally this was the palace of Concubine Rong, but later Concubine Rong lost her original identity and now became Miss Xiangxiang. Although the palace is still used by Xiangxiang, the original furnishings have been changed, and even the palace maids and eunuchs have been changed. Stubble.

Now everyone in the palace only knew that this girl Xiangxiang was the emperor's favorite doctor, and she was also a stunning beauty. She asked him to stay in the palace and treat the emperor all the time.

However, there are also discerning people who can see that Xiangxiang lives in the palace and will become your Majesty's woman sooner or later, so there are many palace maids and eunuchs secretly trying to curry favor with Xiangxiang.

A dozen eunuchs suddenly walked into the courtyard. Xiangxiang was still a little nervous. When she saw Ning Fan walking in from the outside wearing a bright yellow robe, Xiangxiang's face suddenly turned red.

It was already this time. The emperor came to his courtyard and was definitely going to stay overnight. Unfortunately, the awkward status between the two people and their unfair reputation really made Xiangxiang feel a little discouraged.

"Ergou, please take everyone outside the yard. I want to have a good talk with Miss Xiangxiang about my condition. If it's too late tonight, I won't go back."

Ning Fan didn't think there was anything wrong. As an emperor, he could sleep with whomever he wanted and sleep wherever he wanted. The palace maids and eunuchs had no right to interfere with these issues. Ning Fan There is no need to explain much to them.

After the palace maids and eunuchs all walked out, Xiangxiang felt a little restrained. He lowered his head and played with his hair without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, why did you expect to come to the slave's house today? The other ladies are still waiting. I just want them to know that they should be angry."

Xiangxiang raised her pretty red face and looked at Ning Fan with some embarrassment.
