However, Prince Zhijun, who was supposed to go straight back to Beijing after saying goodbye to his daughter, didn’t feel good about it. He also stopped by the royal sons-in-law along the way, some were brothers-in-law, some were nieces and sons-in-law, and many of them were overtly and secretly by him. □ fist, warning.

Before the people from his side arrived, the memorials of some unclear Mongolian nobles arrived. They all rebuked the king of Zhijun for being too arrogant and wantonly beaten the ministers. He hoped that the emperor would make decisions for them, and it would be best to give them some rewards. It would be even better if the commercial tax in Mongolia could be lowered.

It's a pity, the fourth master who saw the memorial, and the princes who had been circulated all shouted, well done.

Thirteen is the happiest among them, and I wish I could do it myself.His thirteenth sister was alright, he grew up with Concubine Yi, and the palace people didn't dare to treat him too slowly, and his thirteenth sister had never been weak, but his youngest fifteenth sister was only 16 years old when she was in Fumeng. Growing up in Shou'an Palace, he was often bullied by the mothers around him, so his temper was inevitably weaker, so he was always concerned about marrying into Mongolia like this.

When he was not reused before, the life of the fifteenth sister was also affected a lot. Fortunately, although the younger sister is soft-tempered, she always firmly remembers that the caravan and manpower in her hand cannot be thrown away easily, and there is him by her side. The person who arranges it is not sad to help the day, but it is inevitable to be a little angry.

And when the news spread that King Zhijun was proclaimed Prince Zhizhi, everyone knew the emperor's attitude, and all the Mongolian nobles became quiet for a while.

.......

And Shisi, who has been in Haojingao for two years, looks at Haojingao, which has changed its appearance now. While feeling satisfied, he is more itchy. The emperor has also sent many soldiers and generals over the years. He came here to train swimming and naval battles, and now the newly trained navy has a lot of people, and even his soldiers went to sea and followed him to England. Unfortunately, his fourth brother still thinks that the current ship is not safe, so he returned it for half a day. refused to let him out.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to write a letter to urge Lin Zizhen to be that lazy guy. How long has it been? Well, as soon as the eldest brother was released, he won a battle with great joy and fame, and his reputation has spread far and wide, but he has not yet started here, so he wants to cry.

And Lin Zizhen, who was complained by Fourteen, sneezed loudly. He didn't know that it was that bastard talking bad about him again, but the thought flashed by, and now all his attention is on the medium-sized building in front of him. , This is the first steam engine powered ship in the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Zizhen, who has a golden finger, directly made a steam engine with a condenser separated from the cylinder wall. This not only has a wider range of use, but also the most important thing is that the improved steam engine can avoid losing a lot of heat and increase power. , Reduce energy waste.

He asked people to check the separate condenser, the insulation layer outside the cylinder, the throttle valve, the pressure gauge...

After confirming that there was no problem, he gave an order to fill in the coal that had been prepared, the gears started to run, and after the whistle sounded, the ship began to sail out of the port. , while testing the speed of the ship, while observing the engine, to see that there is nothing that needs to be improved. With the appearance of the steam engine, not only the speed of the ship has been greatly improved, but also the hull of the ship can continue to increase since then, and the power of the steam engine can afford it. The weight of the giant ship.

Originally, it would have taken at least a month to go out from Tongzhou and go all the way to Guangzhou along the river along the river. Even if the wind was smooth, it would take at least more than a month, but now with the steam engine, they only took five and a half days for this journey.

Looking at the pier in Guangzhou from a distance, the people on board cheered involuntarily.

Fourteen, who just sent out the urging letter on the front foot, received the good news on the back foot. During this time, he was in Guangzhou, staying at the inn closest to the pier, and wanted to see Lin Zizhen blowing it on his mouth every day. What kind of steam engine is this, and what kind of new life can it bring to sea ships.

Not far away, I saw the official ship with a yellow pennant, and the servants went back to report the news one by one cleverly.

When Fourteen, Old Nine, and Old Ten arrived, the three of them burst into laughter when they heard about the speed, and now they didn't care about their identities, and they also boarded the boat, surrounded by a group of angry people. amazing steam engine.

Lao Jiu has already thought about it in his mind at this moment. With this boat and this speed, he may be able to open a few new businesses this year, and he can also start the fresh seafood that he was thinking about before.

Fourteen was also very happy. With the steam engine, the ships in the shipyard can be built bigger in the future, and a few more cannons can be equipped on the ship. Moreover, with this speed, when fighting at sea, whether it is to face the enemy head-on or conduct a sneak attack, They all take advantage of it greatly.

No loss for waiting so long.

After seeing a novelty, I remembered that Lin Zizhen, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was next to me, and the three of them rushed forward, hugged him, and yelled to take him to eat seafood.

Lin Zizhen, who finally came out on official business, would not agree, although he is not short of this, but it is good to be lazy if he can come out for a walk.

Just as he was about to disembark, Dun Qiha who came with him said, "Lord Lin, when we set off, the emperor ordered us to stay in Guangzhou for a maximum of two hours."

Hearing this, Lin Zizhen wailed. At first, he was thinking about spending the night in Guangzhou, enjoying the sea breeze, and having a delicious meal of grilled fish, grilled shrimp, and fried crab...

The emperor is too cruel, no wonder when he said that he would go along with him to test the speed of the ship, he readily agreed, so he was here waiting for him.

Isn't it just one step faster than him, and first tricked Honghui to the Ministry of Industry to help himself.

Although he doesn't get seasick, he hasn't been on the ground even once in the past five days. Originally, he thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to take a stroll at public expense.

Now thinking that going back will also need to stay on the boat for more than five days, Lin Zizhen's mood suddenly changed.

On the other hand, the old Fourteen next to him laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "What did you do to offend the emperor again? Otherwise, the fourth brother's temper would not be so good to meritorious officials." Petty. You can't even have a good drink now."

Lin Zizhen didn't want to talk at all, and ignored Shisi who was gloating beside him, and didn't blame Dun Qiha for speaking, so he just turned to him and said, "Got it, two hours, leave a few people on the boat to guard, let Everyone, go for a walk."

Hearing this, Dun Qiha breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to taking orders to protect the fleet and Lord Lin, he also took the emperor's words to Lord Lin when he came out. Well, the emperor said that the ship must arrive in Guangzhou before he can say this.

Dun Qiha was worried along the way, but now he is relieved to see that Mr. Lin has not vented his anger.

"Hey~ Let's go, let's not waste a single minute of the two hours. Ninth Master, Tenth Master, and Fourteenth Master, are you going to treat me to something good? It's best if it's not easy to send to the capital, wait. I'll have a good meal, and go back so I can talk to some boring people." After getting off the boat, a gust of hot and humid wind blew over, and Lin Zizhen's spirit also came, and he really arrived in Guangzhou.

After hearing this, Old Nine, Old Ten, and Fourteen don't know who is that boring person in his mouth?However, these three people have always been the most troublesome, so they smiled and said: "Let's go, I will definitely prepare a special banquet for you today, which must not be available in the capital."

On the way back, Lin Zi really heard three people introduce him to various delicacies on the Qihai Sea, such as deep-fried oysters, spicy breaded crab, braised jumping fish in oil, steamed large yellow croaker...

Lin Zi was literally drooling, to be able to eat such a meal, this trip is not a loss at all.

........

After the trial voyage, it also means that the Qing Dynasty has officially entered the era of steam engines. When the first batch of steam engine ships are successfully restructured, it will soon enter the end of the year. The nine masters, ten masters, and fourteen masters have also returned to Beijing. Even before the beginning of the new year, the upper circles of the Qing Dynasty were already extremely lively.

Because everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty will send people to sea in the next year. With the increasing understanding of overseas news in the past few years, the purpose of going to sea is not just for trade. Of course, trade is to be done. In addition, there are those lands that are left unused overseas.

After Fourth Master knew the news about the New World and the colonial expansion of many overseas island countries, he had an idea in his mind.No emperor would look at the empty land indifferently.

This time going out to sea, besides the ninth and the fourteenth, he also plans to go out with more people, Hong Xi is one, his small actions are not enough to watch, instead of letting the child indulge in the past, and finally only internal friction, or It's better to let people go out and toss.

If he intends to go outside to do something and come back to make a report, if it is beneficial to everyone, he will not hesitate to give support and help.

No, after Fourth Master revealed his thoughts, many courtiers and princes couldn't sleep.

Some people don't care, but there are also many people who want to take this chance.

In this way, after the Spring Festival, Fourth Master looked at the list that had just been submitted in front of him. Apart from Hong Xi, there were several children from the second brother's family, the children of the third brother's family, and many clan children who had signed up.Fourth Master was very happy and approved them all.

It happened that Lin Zizhen was nearby, and he even showed off to others that their children are all good.

What can Lin Zi really do? He still has to be caught at this moment, and he listens to people meditating over there. He must prepare some good things for these children who are about to go on a long journey, especially the medical kit must not be less, insect repellent incense, cure The medicine for the stomach, and the white medicine for wound treatment, by the way, how much penicillin and sulfonamide are left in stock, this must not be missing.

On the other hand, the newly developed poisons and drugs, do you want to prepare them for them?

Even though they have known each other for so long, Lin Zizhen still admires the master in front of him, why is he so energetic, he has to be busy with major affairs of the country, and now he has to gossip about these trivial matters.

"If you have it, prepare it, maybe it will be used when the time comes."

"Well, be prepared. By the way, we have to send people from the Lifan Academy to tell them about the situation in several overseas countries collected." After finishing speaking, he turned to Lin Zizhen: "Look at the situation. , is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"

There were quite a few people who went out this trip, besides my two brothers, there were also the children of these nephews and nephews. Apart from facing pirates, forces from other countries, and unknown risks at sea.

If... it will be a major blow to the current high morale of the Qing Dynasty.Even the fourth master was worried in his heart, wishing to prepare everything he could for them.

So, after hearing this, Lin Zizhen also pondered seriously in his mind to see what else needs to be prepared, compass, raw bean sprouts, growing vegetables, as well as various pickles, jams, canned food, wild water extraction...

I always feel that something is missing, but now there are medicines, not only that, even poisons are prepared.

By the way, poison, suddenly Lin Zizhen was startled, and two words popped out of his mind, opium.
