Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 46 The Internal Contradictions of the Peninsula
Zhu Zhanchang briefly explained the book "The Principle of the Movement of All Things" to the craftsmen, and the craftsmen were like a treasure, and they discussed it one after another. Zhu Zhanchang took advantage of this time to rest.

Sitting next to Li Xiaozhu and looking at her paintings, she was astonished. This little girl is very good at painting at such a young age.

Just imagine how long it took Lee Hyo Joo, who was only ten years old, to learn painting.

"How is my painting?" Li Xiaozhu asked knowingly.

Zhu Zhanchang touched his chin, his face pretending to be dignified: "Probably painted a third of my handsomeness."

"I will thicken His Highness's face to make it more real."

Zhu Zhanchang was speechless, and while it was still early to use the excuse of urinating, he went to the small yard where Li Xianyu was.

Zheng He understood and said, "Five sons, I'll take you there."

Naturally, Lee Hyo-joo didn't want to follow along, after all, she was going to the toilet.

Zheng He sent Zhu Zhanchang to the gate of the small courtyard and left first.

This is a secluded yard. Zheng He matched Li Xianyu with a maid, and other people usually do not approach this yard.

Open the door and walk in. The courtyard is very small, with only two rooms, but the scenery in the courtyard is elegant, clean and refreshing.

Li Xianyu, who stood in front of the door and waited for a long time, saw that Zhu Zhanchang was happy and then turned back to the room angrily. Zhu Zhanchang quickly followed.

Zhu Zhanchang is not the kind of person who coaxes girls hard. Looking at Li Xianyu who was angry, he didn't know what to say. He sat by Li Xianyu's bed and patted her on the shoulder.

Li Xianyu shook his shoulders so he wouldn't touch him.

Zhu Zhanchang couldn't stay too long and said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Wait." After all, Li Xianyu spoke up himself, and said angrily, "You can't even coax me?"

"Less likely."

"His Royal Highness is eloquent and smart, how can you not coax a girl like me."

"I want to see you, but the affairs in the palace are complicated, so I can finally come out, but it's hard to shirk the oil bottle arranged by the mother-in-law."

Li Xianyu finally laughed, Zhu Zhanchang was neither perfunctory nor concealed on purpose, he could see his sincerity.

"Okay, let's play with you."

"But who is that woman?"

The question that should come is still coming, Zhu Zhanchang finally decided to conceal the identity of Li Xiaozhu's North Korean princess and said: "My eldest brother chose a concubine, she and her sister were sent to the palace, her sister was pointed to my second brother, she pointed to me."

Li Xianyu asked in a low voice, "Is she a noble girl from a certain family?"

Seeing Zhu Zhanchang's nod, Li Xianyu was still smiling. She was mentally prepared. She knew her identity, and she had been a servant of the Qing Dynasty. Where should she be with Zhu Zhanchang? She only needed to know Zhu Zhanchang. It's good to have her in my heart.

Li Xianyu said softly, "I am so grateful that Your Highness can tell me the truth."

"Looking at the progress of the steam engine, I should come to the house often. We have many opportunities to meet, so don't be in a hurry. The last time you saw you write very well."

"I usually like to write." Li Xianyu took out his usual writing, and the writing was very delicate.

Zhu Zhanchang nodded in satisfaction with the words: "Explain your errand."

"Your Highness, please speak." Li Xianyu was very happy.

"Today, I bring a copy of "The Principle of the Movement of All Things", you can re-extract it for me and then I will let Lord Zheng He send it to be printed. The craftsmen will learn it. There will definitely be problems in the learning process. Copy them all down to me, the craftsmen have their own unique characters, if they were all brought to me, it would probably take me a lot of time just to recognize the characters.”

Li Xianyu frowned: "His Royal Highness, in this case, the concubine does not have to meet the craftsmen."

"Just let Lord Zheng He sit across the screen."

Li Xianyu was actually a little unwilling in his heart. After all, he had to get in touch with the craftsmen, but this was an errand that Zhu Zhanchang explained, even if she didn't want to do it, she had to do it well.

"I go first."

"Is Your Highness leaving now?"

"Can't stay long."

Li Xianyu had to watch Zhu Zhanchang leave.

Seeing Zhu Zhanchang coming back, Li Xiaozhu asked, "Why did you go for so long?"

"Master Zheng He's mansion is very large."

After making a random excuse, Li Xiaozhu seemed to have noticed something: "Didn't you go to find Lord Zheng He's niece?"

"What do you think, little girl?" Zhu Zhanchang was sweating coldly. A woman's intuition is really terrifying. A girl so young can detect which one is her enemy.

"I'm a few months older than you."

"Are you jealous?" Zhu Zhanchang took the opportunity to tease Li Xiaozhu.

Li Xiaozhu is different from those girls who blush when they flirt. Facing Zhu Zhanchang's flirting, he doesn't care: "Jiaxing County Master said that her fifth brother is not in shape, it seems that she is right."

"Are you going to go back and file a complaint?"

Li Xiaozhu was silent, and Zhu Zhanchang stopped teasing her and continued to discuss steam engines with Zheng He and others.

Looking at Li Xiaozhu from time to time, if the two really follow him in the future, the internal conflicts on the peninsula will have to be mediated by himself.

Can't have both fish and bear's paw?Impossible, I have to have both.

Putting aside the matter of mediating internal conflicts on the peninsula, Zheng He was explaining the structure of the new treasure ship to him.

The treasure ship is Zheng He's large ship on the Western Ocean. It is much larger than the inland ships and has a complex structure. Because of the emergence of the steam engine, the treasure ship has to be redesigned and planned. Of course, it is only designed on the drawings, and it is far from production. stage.

Zheng He just wanted to get some more advice from Zhu Zhanchang.

"His Royal Highness, do you see if there is anything that can be improved on this treasure ship."

"There are too many wooden structures, and some iron structures can be used instead." Zhu Zhanchang said the most intuitive feeling.

"But Fifth Highness, the weight of iron is too large."

"Now that there is a steam engine, it can sail even if it is heavy. Don't worry, Mr. Zheng. There are a row of artillery from the Shenji Battalion on each side of the treasure ship. Such a treasure ship is like a sea fortress."

Zheng He imagined a copper-clad and iron-clad treasure ship. Such a treasure ship has no rivals on the sea.

"His Royal Highness, I will let the craftsmen plan." Zheng He was very excited. If he gave him twenty treasure ships like this, he could make the army of Jiaozhi feel fearful, and make the Japanese pirates in Dongying never dare to approach the coast of our country.

Zhu Zhanchang had a different idea. In this era, there are such ships that travel across the sea and reach Dongying, bringing fully-armed Ming soldiers, enough to turn the island country upside down.

Horses in Tokyo.

Zhu Zhanchang is not a belligerent person, and he is very unwilling to colonize and fight. The only difference there is that the Japanese pirates and ghosts who have slaughtered us have always wanted to invade us.

"His Royal Highness, Master." The voices of the people in Zheng He's house woke Zhu Zhanchang from his imagination.

"What's up?"

"His Royal Highness, Prince Han is here, and he just broke in."
