Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 142 The Story of North Korea's Strange Story

"What's going on? What's going on?" The princess and concubine hurried out of the room early in the morning. She planned to be lazy on the first day of the new year, but she received the big news early in the morning and couldn't sleep at all. , the fastest speed to organize, and went straight out the door.

Hu Shanggong comforted from the side: "Niangniang, don't be in a hurry, maybe not necessarily."

"Li Xiaozhu didn't come out of Zhan's room last night. What's not sure, he's going to die, he's going to die, why is this kid so unsatisfactory, that's a foreign woman."

"Niang Niang, you don't have to be so anxious, the Fifth Highness is still young."

The Crown Princess paused for a while, and then hurried to Zhu Zhanchang's yard cursing immediately: "You don't have to be young, I'm really stupid and dizzy. Arranging a foreign woman by his side, even if he is still young, Foreign women have vicious thoughts, and they might even climb the bed in the middle of the night."

Arriving in Zhu Zhanchang's yard, I didn't expect that Zhu Zhanchang had already woken up. Usually, I can't get up so early. I woke up early today and was drinking tea with Li Xiaozhu.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Seeing the calm Zhu Zhanchang and Li Xiaozhu, the crown princess didn't know what to say for a while.

"Zhanchang, you...you...last night?"

"Last night, Lee Hyo-joo told me stories about North Korea's monsters all night, and I love hearing them."

Li Xiaozhu replied respectfully, "Yes, the Crown Princess."

Seeing that the two of them didn't change their expressions and hearts, the Crown Princess felt very strange.

Normally, it's impossible for a man and a woman to be alone for a night, but nothing happened when they saw the reaction of the two.

how can that be?Is there something wrong with Zhu Zhanchang?
"Mom, why are you here so early?"

"It's nothing."

The crown princess was very angry, but she couldn't let it out. Zhu Zhanchang said that nothing happened, but how could he stop the audience? The news that Li Xiaozhu spent the night in Zhu Zhanchang's room last night will definitely spread.

He sighed: "Forget it, Shanwei will teach Li Xiaozhu the etiquette from tomorrow. Our Ming has more etiquette than North Korea."

"As ordered."

The Crown Princess left angrily, but Hu Shanwei stayed behind: "Your Highness, did nothing really happen yesterday?"

"Naturally there is none, what can happen?"

Looking at Zhu Zhanchang's "naive" face, Hu Shanwei didn't know what to say.

Zhu Zhanchang continued: "Hu Shanggong, mother asked you to teach Li Xiaozhu etiquette, and I hope Hu Shanggong will not embarrass her."

Hu Shanwei was stunned for a moment at Zhu Zhanchang's straightforwardness: "Your Highness, why would I be embarrassed?"

"That's good Hu Shanggong, Li Xiaozhu will come to me often in the future, I like to hear her tell the story of North Korea's monsters."

"I didn't expect His Highness to like listening to stories."

"If Hu Shanggong has a story of a strange kind, I also like to listen to it. Li Xiaozhu tells it very well. I can listen to it every time."

"Understood, Your Highness."

Hu Shanwei also left with Li Xiaozhu.

The reason Zhu Zhanchang let Li Xiaozhu stay overnight is to let the people in the palace know that Li Xiaozhu is now his own. She told herself about the secret letter of the North Korean envoy. Zhu Zhanchang recognized her and covered her.

According to Hu Shanwei's method, if he intends to target Li Xiaozhu, Li Xiaozhu has no chance to fight back, and the princess instructed her to teach the rules and others would not dare to say anything, so Zhu Zhanchang reminded Hu Shanwei that Li Xiaozhu had to come here every once in a while. .

I hope Aunt Hu will give me a face.

Zhu Zhanchang understood the concerns of the Crown Princess, afraid that he was really fascinated by foreign women. When he grew up as a childhood sweetheart, he really made up his mind to marry a foreign woman as his wife in the future.

But seeing Zhu Zhanchang like this doesn't seem like it, so he can only give a little punishment as a warning.

Zhu Zhanchang had already thought of this situation before letting Li Xiaozhu stay overnight, so he could deal with it naturally.

Hu Shanwei understood what Zhu Zhanchang meant, and felt a little lost: "Yes, they are the same age."

After they all left the yard, Zhu Zhanchang started to fiddle with the phone again.

"Xiaosheng, Chu'er, follow me out of the palace." Zhu Zhanchang was leaving the palace on the first day of the new year.

After being locked in the palace for a long time, Zhu Zhanchang rarely left the palace and went to Zheng He's mansion.

There is an endless stream of guests at Zheng He’s Mansion during the New Year. It is very important for people to communicate with each other in the officialdom.

In the Ming Dynasty, because of the existence of Jinyiwei, few of these gift-givers dared to go beyond, at least not on the bright side.

Zheng He led Zhu Zhanchang into the mansion.

"His Royal Highness is here in the New Year, and it will be full of brilliance."

"Why does Master Zheng still do this with me?"

Zheng He smiled happily, in a very good mood for the New Year.

"Your Highness is for thunder and lightning, right?"

The power generation device that Zhu Zhanchang took out before, the craftsmen were amazed, many people reached out and touched the wires, and human beings can really generate electricity.

"Yeah, my father never allowed me to leave the palace before, but now I came up with something called a phone, and my father finally allowed me to leave the palace."

"Phone, what is a phone?"

Xiaosheng took out the things and placed the connecting wires. He has disassembled and assembled several times and is now very skilled.

The wiring and stuff were the same as when the lights were on, but the receiver and the microphone he had never seen before.

After trying it once, Zheng He was shocked that he could actually hear the sound.

"Your Highness, this..."

"It's called a telephone. You can talk to each other when you connect to the phone, and you can hear it from here and there. You don't need to let people run around or send letters to notify them."

Zheng He was still in shock: "In this case, it's not that a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved, it's just that it's a bit troublesome to always need someone to handle it by hand."

"Master Zheng, think about it, use the steam engine to drive it all the time, and it will be fine if it is not powered on all the time."

Zheng He's eyes lit up: "His Royal Highness is really a god. In this way, as long as the wire is pulled long enough, we can directly notify us of the news from the palace, so as not to waste time running around, thus greatly improving the efficiency."

"Naturally." Zhu Zhanchang smiled slightly.

"His Royal Highness, wait for me to ask someone to call Zhang San and others over."

"No need, let everyone rest on the first day of the new year. They have been busy for more than half a year, and they will be fine in a few days."

"His Royal Highness is sympathetic to his subordinates, it really makes me ashamed."

Zheng He continued with a smile on his face: "Years ago, the minister gave them some dividends, and they all thought of His Highness."

The steam engine is running well, and the steam warship is beginning to show its prowess. Zhang San, the chief technical engineer, or senior technical personnel must be well-prepared. Thanks for the salary, it is necessary to improve social status.

There will be more places where they will be needed in the future.

After talking about business, Zhu Zhanchang asked, "Is there any change in Li Xianyu's side?"

"No, Your Highness, Li Xianyu is often in his yard, and he basically never goes out. Even if he comes out, he just hangs out in the garden of the mansion."

Recently, I was investigating the spy of the Jurchen. According to the information, it is very similar to Li Xianyu, but Li Xianyu has the basic drawings of the steam engine at the beginning, but he has not done anything. After so long, Zhu Zhanchang has not come to see her for two months.

"Then I'll go see her." Zhu Zhanchang walked to Li Xianyu's yard.

Of course, I have to take the first bath with Li Xianyu this new year.
