Chapter 40
In the early morning, the Qinhuai River was foggy, and the weather seemed to suddenly turn cold, and autumn was coming.

A large boat was parked on the shore, and it sailed back to the place where Zhu Zhanchang and others had been picked up in the middle of the night last night.

Zhu Zhanchang stretched and woke up. Last night, he fell asleep in a daze. As soon as he woke up, he saw Li Xianyu in a robe preparing breakfast.

The porridge and side dishes were brought by someone, and Li Xianyu just opened the door and brought them in.

"When did you wake up?" Zhu Zhanchang sat up, and Li Xianyu hurriedly put her shoes under his feet in front of him. The wide and airy robe always made her beauty looming.

There is no other clothes for them in this room except the clothes they wore last night.

The two who were drinking porridge heard Xiao Hongyi's voice from outside the door: "Fifth Young Master, you were satisfied last night."

Li Xianyu blushed.

"Bring Li Xianyu's personal contract."

"Okay, lord." Little Hongyi was very happy. These Qing shepherds were sold like this when they were most valuable. After all, they were red shepherds. If she hadn't become a courtesan, the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon would have earned her some old money.

"Also, get me two more sets of clothes."

After Xiao Hongyi left, Li Xianyu said embarrassedly, "Young Master, I'm afraid she will raise the price."

Zhu Zhanchang stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, with a teasing smile: "It's worth adding more."

When he got off the boat, Li Xianyu followed Zhu Zhanyu timidly. The second uncle and the third uncle looked at each other. The first time a man is also very important. Zhu Zhanyu spent 220 taels of silver to redeem Li Xianyu.

"Where is Zhanchang going to hide her?" The second uncle asked bluntly, who is the serious prince these days who still hides a few women outside?
"Find a house for her to live in."

"I still have an empty yard, you can use it."

"Thank you second uncle, I'll just find it for her myself."

"Second brother, this is because you are afraid that you will reveal his little secret, hahaha." The third uncle Zhu Gaojiu burst out laughing.

Seeing Zhu Zhanchang like this, Zhu Gaojiu said, "As you please, why are you ashamed?"

"Second uncle sent me a carriage to take me to Lord Zheng He's house. Today is the day to see the steam engine."

"You kid, you will find a place." Zhu Gaojiu also guessed where Zhu Zhanchang wanted to hide Li Xianyu.

After arranging for the two to get on the carriage, Zhu Zhanchang turned around and reminded again: "Second uncle, about the smuggling of the imperial ship..."

"I know, I know." Zhu Gaojiu impatiently sent him away.

Looking at the passing carriage, Zhu Gaojiu's eyes changed slightly, and Zhu Gaojiu next to him asked, "Second brother, did Zhanzhen remind you about the imperial ship last night?"

"There are still fakes. You should hurry up and wipe your ass clean. It is estimated that the old man will definitely check and find some insignificant scapegoats."

Zhu Gaoyu's eyes are always deep and elusive: "Second brother, did the eldest brother arrange this kid Zhanchang?"

"It's not like, this kid is very smart and smart. It's definitely not the arrangement of the eldest brother. It is impossible for the eldest brother's fake temperament to let this kid ask the old man for money and negotiate conditions."

"Second brother means that this kid approached us by himself? But why?"

Zhu Gaojiu smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "You are the vassal king, and I am the vassal king. This kid will also be the vassal king in the future, but do you think this kid is just as unwilling as you and me to be just a vassal king?"

Zhu Gaojiu hurriedly shied away: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense, all Daming knows that I'm an iron-clad second master party, but I don't have the mind."

Zhu Gaojiu put his arms around his third brother's shoulder: "Don't worry, you and I will share the world in the future."

This nonsense Zhu Gaoyu will believe it is really a ghost.

……

Zhu Zhanchang on the carriage said: "The place where I will take you will be Lord Zheng He's mansion, and I will hide you there."

"Your Highness..."

"Don't worry, Lord Zheng He is an eunuch and has a good relationship with me, and I often go to his house."

"It's all up to His Highness." Li Xianyu still looked like a shy girl.

At the gate of Zheng He's mansion, a group of craftsmen waiting to greet Zhu Zhanchang saw a beautiful woman behind Zhu Zhanchang. No one dared to ask and no one cared, because they were not paparazzi, they just couldn't wait to give Zhu Zhanan Show new achievements.

Zhu Zhanchang didn't go to see the results first, but went to the side with Zheng He: "Master Zheng, this is my friend. I want her to live in your house first, can you see it?"

After all, Zheng He has been an eunuch in the inner palace for many years, and he has seen a lot of these things, so he immediately responded: "If your Highness does not dislike it, let your friend live in my mansion first, and I will give this girl a little one alone. The yard, with a maid to serve, no one else can disturb."

"There is Lord Lao Zheng."

"Then let's go and see the steam engine first."

"Okay, let's go."

A group of people surrounded Zhu Zhanchang to see the steam engine. Zhu Zhanchang looked at Li Xianyu and said, "Xianer, come and see it with me."

Li Xianyu looked at him in surprise, but nodded and followed timidly.

In front of a 20-meter railway track, Zhu Zhanqian looked carefully. The craftsmanship of the cast iron was a bit poor. After all, modern railway tracks could not be made, but they should be usable.

Then it was a steam engine. They were very happy to start the steam engine that was made recently. With the rise of steam, the machine turned. It has to be said that the current steam engine can already run on a basic level, but the efficiency is not good enough and it is easy to damage.

Many craftsmen were affirmed by Zhu Zhanchang, and they were happy.

"Everyone, Your Majesty ordered us to make a steam engine that can be used within two months. If we continue to work hard, we will definitely succeed." Then a group of craftsmen and Zhu Zhanchang discussed the matter.

Li Xianyu stood not far away and looked at Zhu Zhanchang. She originally only regarded him as a child. Although she didn't know what a steam engine was, after seeing so many people surrounding him and asking questions, he should be a big man. The person who is capable, I am lucky to follow him.

"Master Zheng, the steam engine can be initially loaded into the ship for use."

"Ship, Your Highness, don't you load the car first?"

"Master Zheng, steam may be more useful on the ship at this stage, and your voyages to the West will also become more convenient, Master Zheng."

Zheng He also thought about it: "Your Highness, how should we improve the ship?"

Zhu Zhanchang drew the general appearance of the propeller: "As long as the propeller is placed at the stern of the ship, the steam engine can drive it to rotate to continuously propel the ship to sail. The blades of the propeller must be in such a spiral shape."

"Why is this?"

"Master Zheng, you can make it and try it out. It's not very difficult."

"Okay." Zheng He immediately ordered someone to do it.

When a group of people were discussing in full swing, a servant from Zheng He's house hurried over: "Sir, my lord."

"What are you panicking about? I have something to say." Zheng He stopped the panicked servant.

"Sir, there is a decree from the palace, saying that the Fifth Highness should return to the palace."

"what's up?"

"It is said that the envoy from North Korea has arrived, and he also brought two princesses, and said that His Royal Highness should return to the palace to have a look."

Zhu Zhanchang looked at Li Xianyu with an extremely complicated expression.
