My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji looked back, and a round of red sun emerged from the sea of ​​clouds, like a red crescent, without the slightest temperature or glaring.

The sun gradually rose, and a round of red sun slowly revealed the whole picture, covering the peaks of Huangshan with a layer of golden coat.

The originally crystal clear rime has also turned golden yellow, which is extraordinarily charming.

Apart from Zhu Zhanji and the others, there were hundreds of guards on the mountain. At this time, they couldn't help but be fascinated by the beautiful scenery and let out bursts of admiration.

When the sun was high and the golden color gradually became dazzling, Zhu Zhanji said lightly, "Let's go."

When they went down to the foot of the mountain, they boarded the convoy that had been waiting there for a long time, and took a car from the foot of the mountain to Taiping County, and then there was a train to Yingtianfu.

Today's cars are still very simple, with a simple four-cylinder engine. There is engine heat in the car for heating, but there is no air conditioner. When driving in winter, you have to open the windows to clean the glass from time to time.

Therefore, driving a car in summer and winter is not comfortable. Zhu Zhanji now travels long distances and prefers trains.

Before getting into the car, Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Jianshen: "Get ready. After the Spring Festival, the Nanzhou inspection team will set off, so you go with it. Before you go, think about what you should do as your grandson."

Zhu Jianshen bowed and was about to take Zhu Youtang to another car, but Zhu Zhanji stopped him again and let Zhu Youtang get into the car with him.

Zhu Jianshen was overwhelmed with excitement, and pretended to talk to Zhu Youtang calmly before carrying him into Zhu Zhanji's nearly ten-meter-long RV.

Today's technology has almost caught up with the level of Europe at the end of the [-]th century, some places exceed it, and some places are not as good.

For example, ironclad ships and two-person aircraft have appeared now, but ironclad ships of tens of thousands of tons cannot be built now.

This is because the electric welding process cannot reach it.

In terms of chemicals, this era is stronger than Europe in the [-]th century, but it is mainly concentrated on certain types of drugs. In terms of the overall chemical industry, Ming Dynasty is moving faster, but it is not comprehensively improved, and there are many shortcomings.

In terms of electricity, industry, and electronic research and development, there are even more shortcomings.Although the telegraph has been built today, it is still the Morse telegraph that Zhu Zhanji first directed and developed.

Not to mention wireless, electromagnetic telegraphs, and even wired integrated telegraphs have not been invented yet.

In just a few decades, although Zhu Zhanji was able to guide the direction of technological development, he was unable to comprehensively improve the entire industry system.

In terms of talent pool and ideological reform of the whole people, it takes decades to complete the road that has been developed in hundreds of years, but there is still insufficient energy.

Take the telephone for example. In the original world, with this level of development, the invention of the telephone should be easy.

However, when Zhu Zhanji touched the phone, the phone had already appeared.He didn't know what the basic principle of the telephone was, and although people were studying it, they had little effect.

Today's Daming is like a lame giant. In the eyes of ants, a giant can take a long step, but in fact, only Zhu Zhanji knows that Daming is struggling.

No matter when, the development of the times should be balanced and comprehensive.

Relying solely on him and Lan Yan, that is, in a few industries that can surpass the limitations of the times, this kind of development is deformed and incomplete.

Of course, for other countries, the current Ming Dynasty is superior and incomparably powerful.

Take his special car as an example. With a body of [-] meters, it is the longest among all passenger cars. Except for his car, the length of any car is less than [-] meters.

Due to the limitations of technology, his car is not only luxuriously decorated, but the technology used is not leading.

This has led to the fact that today's cars in Daming are not distinguished by technology, but by length as the value and status.

The prince's car is [-] meters, the duke's is [-] meters, the marquis's is [-] meters, and the earl's is [-] meters.

When it comes to first-rank officials, the car is six meters long, while the car of ordinary people cannot exceed five meters.

When Zhu Zhanji knew about this situation, this concept had already formed a rule among the common people.

This really made him dumbfounded. It seems that Orientals like big cars and save face. This is not unique to later generations, but has had this concept from ancient times to the present.

The journey was relatively short, and Zhu Zhanji didn't read the official documents, and chatted with Zhu Youtang along the way.

In his memory, his son is Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen's son is Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Jianshen's son is Zhu Youtang.

Among the several emperors after him, Zhu Qizhen was a capable and ignorant person, who was coaxed by a Wang Zhen, which led to the change of the civil castle.

But later he snatched back the throne and changed the reign name several times.Because of power disputes, he actually promoted too many corrupt officials in his later years.

Zhu Jianshen was only considered a mediocre talent in history, but because he was imprisoned several times, his character was weak and he stammered.

What Zhu Zhanji remembers most about him is that he doted on his nanny Wan Zhen'er, also known as Concubine Wan Gui, and almost made himself childless because of this woman.

Of course, history has already changed. Although this Zhu Jianshen has the same name, he is no longer the person in history.

He was born a few years earlier, and he didn't go through a few detentions. He went smoothly, and he didn't marry a woman named Wan Zhen'er.

This led to the Hongzhi Emperor Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, who was hailed as one of the best heirs among the ancient emperors, to be born decades earlier.

Not to mention decades in advance, even if a fertilized egg is different, a couple will have different children, let alone the parents have changed.

This Zhu Youtang is definitely not the Zhu Youtang in history, but Zhu Zhanji still treats him differently.

And even though he was only five years old, he performed really well.It's like playing with Zhu Zhanji, neither crying nor making trouble, and rarely acting like a baby.

Sometimes Zhu Zhanji teased him, but he burst into tears and didn't cry, let alone get angry with Zhu Zhanji.

Of course, if Zhu Zhanji treats him better, he will be more willing to play with Zhu Zhanji.

He is five years old this year, just a year younger than himself, and 60 years old, also a tiger.

Zhu Zhanji has changed his fate, and he thinks he can live to at least eighty, or even ninety, and he has no intention of abdicating in the short term.

Although he has decided to vigorously train Zhu Jianshen, in his heart, he prefers that his great-grandson Zhu Youtang will succeed directly in the future.

In less than half an hour, the car arrived in Taiping County.The onlookers on the side of the road were not expelled, but Zhu Zhanji had no idea of ​​having fun with the people or meeting them.

Surrounded by the crowd, the car drove directly onto the platform. The driver Li Yuan helped Zhu Zhanji open the door and watched the surrounding environment.

Li Yuan is the only son of Ergouzi Li Zifeng and Jiaxing. He is 35 years old this year.

Jiaxing was not in good health, so he went there ten years after Orthodoxy.Since then, Li Zifeng has never married, until Li Yuan became an adult, and with Li Yuan's support, he took two concubines to take care of his own life.

Li Yuan studied martial arts with his father when he was young. His mother passed away early, and he and his father who were silent because of this developed a taciturn but tough character.Habayashi Wei Xue went to school, and then followed in the footsteps of his father and entered Jinyiwei.

After five years of experience in Jinyiwei, he was arranged by his uncle, Zhu Zhanji, by his side.Now Zhu Zhanji is basically the driver when he goes out.

On the train, Zhu Youtang was taken away by the maid, and his entourage gathered around him.

Under his restrictions, the cabinet has always been just a secretariat. Although it can get in touch with state affairs every day, it cannot have power because there are no officials in charge.

What's more, now that the powers of the various ministries are delegated to the various ministries, they don't want the cabinet to intervene.

The task of the cabinet is to serve as Zhu Zhanji's staff and secretary. The rank of this position is not high. Now the chief assistant of the cabinet is only a third rank, not as powerful as a minister.

However, this position is still favored by countless courtiers. Being the emperor's secretary will always be the group of people who are promoted the fastest.
