Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

As the saying goes, don't worry about the few but the unevenness, Zhu Xi's biggest resentment may be Lao Zhu's partiality.

Although Lao Zhu was more partial to him than his other sons, he was filled with resentment as long as he thought that the throne could only be circled in the elder brother's vein.

He is also the son of the eldest son!

And he is the oldest after the death of his eldest brother!

Why can't you let him be the prince?

"Zhu Yunxi, Daming is not only your grandfather's, but also our vassal kings'!"

"Your grandpa was influenced by those rotten scholars. He would rather pass on the throne to the young master than to his son. This is a very dangerous thing!"

"The ruler is less suspicious, and the world is restless. A country with a long ruler is the blessing of the country!"

"As the second son of the emperor, I am the oldest existence after your father's death. Why can't I compete for the crown prince?"

"Furthermore, you haven't taken charge of the government yet, and you have already tossed Daming into a miasma, and the people are in dire straits. When you really become emperor in the future, will this Daming be turned upside down?"

The more Zhu Xi talked, the more angry he became, obviously he was caught in his own situation and couldn't extricate himself.

Zhu Yunxi just listened quietly, and didn't speak until Zhu Xi finished complaining.

"It seems that the second uncle has read a lot of books recently, and he even knows about Master Shaoguoyi."

"You accuse me of not being able to govern the country, so tell me how well you will govern the country?"

"Is it okay for the people in your closed country to live?"

"In addition, my new tax system is approved by the emperor's grandfather. You don't think you are wiser than the emperor's grandfather, do you?"

"Don't talk about these things, let's talk about how to deal with you."

"I'm going to play Grandpa Emperor, let you go out to sea with the fleet, verify my conjecture of the earth's square and the earth's circle, and when we really reach the sea, I will secretly order someone to throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

Zhu Xi was dumbfounded when he heard this. This eldest nephew is so cruel. He had a pleasant chat just now. Why did he turn his face in the blink of an eye and say he was going to throw himself into the sea?

"Zhu Yunxi, you can't do this!"

"I'm also your second uncle, you can't kill your clan!"

But Zhu Yunxi didn't bother to talk to him, and walked outside as soon as he threatened Zhu Yun, Zhu Yun hurriedly caught up with Zhu Yunxi, hugged Zhu Yunxi's thigh and didn't let go.

"Nephew, let's have a good talk, you must not be thrown into the sea to feed the fish..."

"I promise not to fight against you in the future, just let me stay in the capital, woo woo woo..."

"Come on!"

"Hurry up and pull King Qin away. Gu will let people from Jing Haijun come over to pick him up later, and let him get used to the boat for a few days first!"

"promise!"

Under Jin Yiwei's strong pull, Zhu Xi was dragged into the house.Seeing that he was struggling and hopeless, Zhu Xi returned to his true colors and began to abuse Zhu Yunxi endlessly.

However, no matter how much Zhu Yu abused him, he could not prevent him from being taken to Jinghai Navy.

When Zhu Xi arrived at the Jinghai Navy, he was taken to the ship that day, and went to patrol the Daming sea with the coastal patrol boats.

This made Zhu Xi, the landlubber, very upset. He was so seasick that he even vomited bile.

It wasn't until ten days later that he gradually got used to the bumps on the ship, and he could calmly watch the scenery on the deck.

Although Zhu Xi is now a commoner of Qin, no one on board dared to send him to work.They just followed the order of the emperor's grandson and allowed Zhu Xi to sneak off the boat.

Zhu Xi now lives every day as if it is his last, and insists on going to the deck to enjoy the scenery every day.

Because he knew that he would be drowned by Zhu Yunxi's grandson, Zhu Yu was not as hateful as before, and he treated the sergeants on the ship a lot more kindly, and he stopped putting on the stinky airs of the prince.

Because there is really no need to put it on. Whenever there is a storm, everyone on the ship must work together, even he, the prince, must follow along to drag the cable and wind the sail.

On the boundless sea, this ship is all they have, and it is the sustenance of their wealth and life.

After Zhu Yunxi threw Zhu Xi onto the boat, he started to build momentum in Daming.

He first found a few props and argued in the newspaper whether the earth is round or square.The two parties came and went for a while, and then he, the grandson of the emperor, stood up and put forward the point of view that the sky is square and the earth is round.

Then, in order to verify this point of view, we are building an army, let them start from Daming, march in the direction of the setting sun, and circle the earth...

Although Zhu Yunxi already knew that the earth was round, in order to trigger the exploration of the new continent by the Ming people, he still had to play tricks.

Fortunately, he has already trained Ma He, the mascot of the long-distance voyage, and allowed him to go to Southeast Asia and Africa with Daming's ocean-going fleet, accumulating rich sailing experience.

As long as his campaign is completed, Ma He will be able to lead Daming's fleet to sail around the world.

In order for Ma He to complete this great feat with peace of mind, Zhu Yunxi gave Ma He many privileges and equipped him with the latest radio transmitter launched by the research institute.

When Zhu Yunxi was busy with various preparations before going to sea, there was also an upsurge of discussion in the Ming court.

The literati and bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty no longer cared about the trivial matters of taxation on the fields, and discussed whether the earth was round or square in their spare time.

Among them, the officials of the Ministry of Industry quarreled the most, and Shangshu Qin Kui even started a game in the Ministry of Industry, making a bet against those who supported the local theory and those who supported the local theory.

As for his Shangshu, the two will not help each other and act as an arbitrator.

During the heated discussion in the Ministry of Industry, Lao Zhu was also chatting with Tang He and other old people about this matter.

"Do you think the earth is really round?"

"If the earth is round, why didn't we fall?"

Tang He and the others are only responsible for chatting with Lao Zhu, they don't care about the roundness of the sky.

But Tang He was an old fox, so he hurriedly followed up, which directly made Lao Zhu laugh out loud.

"My lord, I don't know whether the earth is square or round, but I know one thing, that is, no matter whether the earth is round or square, I just need to remember that all the land is the king's land, and the shore of the land is enough for the king's ministers." Already!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Youde and the others secretly gave Tang and the old fox a thumbs up.

This old man is too powerful, flattering is invisible!

Lao Zhu was also amused by Tang He's words, pointing at him and scolding the old fox.

Just as they were laughing, Zhu Yunxi ran in bouncing around.

"Grandfather, I know whether the earth is square or round. I learned it in school..."

"Oh?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was about to ask a question, but was preempted by Tang He at the side.

"Four grandsons, please explain to us whether the earth is round or square!"

"Okay!"

"According to the teaching in the school, the earth is round, and the earth we are stepping on is a big ball, floating in the dark universe..."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in puzzlement.

"Then why can't we fall?"

"Because the earth has gravity!"

"Like an apple on a tree, why does the apple fall from the tree when it's ripe, instead of flying into the air?"

"It's because the earth is attractive to things on it, attracting them not to fall..."

"Who taught you this?"

"It's Mr. Hope Academy, but according to the gentlemen, they also learned it from the third brother, and they also said that it is called Zhu Yunxi's three laws..."

The old men in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were all attracted by the "Three Laws of Zhu Yunxi", but Zhu Yunxi, a good-for-nothing, couldn't understand it at all, and they became more and more confused when they heard it.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunxi didn't mean this at all. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly stuffed a note into Lao Zhu's hand. His brows furrowed on the spot.

"Come on, go and call us the grandson of the emperor, and let that kid tell us in person!"

Not long after, Qin Deshun came running back.

"My lord, the grandson of the emperor has no time. He is playing with a eunuch named Ma He."

"What machine?"

"It's called a telegraph?"

"A device that allows people to communicate thousands of miles away!"

"Oh?"

Lao Zhu became more curious when he heard this, thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, he took a few old buddies to the Wenhua Palace.

When Lao Zhu and the others came over, Zhu Yunxi was writing letters with Ma He using the telegraph, and the room was filled with the sound of ticking, ticking.

Old Zhu leaned in front of Zhu Yunxi, looked at the machine in Zhu Yunxi's hands, and asked curiously.

"Dasun, is this something that can communicate thousands of miles away?"

Zhu Yunxi took off the earphones, nodded to Lao Zhu.

"Yes!"

"I started the project two years ago, and mass production was not realized until recently."

"Grandpa Huang, do you want to play and experience the most cutting-edge communication equipment?"

Lao Zhu patted the iron lump on the table disdainfully.

"Why don't we believe it!"

"Such a small iron lump, can you really spread the letter?"

Zhu Yunxi said confidently.

"Of course!"

"If you don't believe me, let's practice it ourselves!"

Zhu Yunxi ordered someone to prepare a piece of paper for Lao Zhu, let Lao Zhu write on the paper, and then handed the paper to Ma He on the other side of the screen in front of Lao Zhu, and asked Ma He to send it to himself by telegram.

Lao Zhu cooperated with the whole process with a smile, wanting to see what kind of tricks Dasun was playing.

After a burst of ticking sounds, when he saw that Dasun actually wrote the secret letter he had just written on the paper, Lao Zhu's eyes widened like dragon eyes.

"How did you do it?"

"Did someone secretly tell you what we just wrote on paper?"

Fu Youde, Tang He and the others nearby were also shocked when they saw this, muttering words like fairy art in their mouths.

"Superior, isn't this the fairy art His Royal Highness learned from Master Zhang?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also looked at Zhu Yunxi inquiringly. At this time, if Zhu Yunxi said that it was a fairy art, he promised not to doubt it.

However, facing Lao Zhu's earnest eyes, Zhu Yunxi just shook his head lightly.

"Grandfather, this thing transmits messages through radio waves, and you don't care what radio waves are, as long as you know that this thing can transmit messages thousands of miles away!"

"From today, my Ming Dynasty will officially enter the telegraph era!"

Lao Zhu really didn't understand, but he didn't worry about it, he just wrote a few more letters to verify his ability to send the telegraph.

After he was convinced that this thing could send messages, Lao Zhu greedily tapped the transmitter and said with longing.

"As long as this thing is popularized, in the future, our government envoys and prefectures and counties in Daming will be integrated into one. Our government decrees can be spread to every prefecture and county in Daming in one day, and every prefecture and county in Daming can also send local government orders at any time. Let us know..."

"At that time, when we govern Daming, it will be as clear as reading in the palm of your hand, hahaha!"

After Tang He and the others heard Lao Zhu's longing, they hurriedly sent a rainbow fart and called His Majesty the Holy Spirit.

After accepting their flattery, Lao Zhu patted Zhu Yunxie's shoulder with a smile and said.

"Dasun, how many of these things are there now, and how much is the cost? Can we satisfy the imperial court with a thousand sets?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly.

"Grandfather, don't think about it in the short term. This thing is distributed to the sea fleet first, followed by the coastal counties, and the northern frontier army. Finally, it will be the court's turn."

"As for the cost..."

"How can I explain it to you? For example, I want to build a kitchen knife, but I need to open an iron mine and a coal mine first, and then cast a hammer, anvil and other tools before I can build a kitchen knife."

"This thing is the same. Its principle is not complicated, but every part used in it must be supplied by a small workshop. It is very difficult to get this industrial chain together."

"Take the first transmitter in front of me as an example. From the start of the project two years ago to its birth, it cost me more than 200 million taels of silver!"

Zhu Yunxi shut up at this point, thinking depressedly, there is still a complete set of drawings and ready-made theoretical guidance as the basis.

If it is from zero to one, the money is estimated to have to be multiplied by ten.

When Lao Zhu heard that the first one cost 200 million taels to build, his jaw almost dropped from shock.

"Such a small thing is worth 200 million?"

"We finally know why you are always short of money. Whether it is the Shibo Division or the Weaving Bureau Workshop, many businesses seem to be very profitable, but at the end of the year you always have no money..."

"Dare you invest all your money in these places?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Lao Zhu proudly upon hearing this.

"Grandpa Huang, do you think what your grandson did is right?"

Old Zhu was silent for a while when he heard the words, and then gave his grandson a thumbs up.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about your transmitter is enough to shock the ancients and the present!"

"With this thing, we can know the world's major events at any time, and governing the world will become like an arm's length!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking these bold words, he suddenly changed his tone and asked a very sharp question.

"Da Sun, since we all have such powerful tools for governing the country, why don't you throw your second uncle into the sea?"

When the others heard what Lao Zhu said, they hurriedly found an excuse to escape, but Zhu Yunxi hid at the door and never came in.

After a while, only Zhu Yunxi and old Zhu, the old and the young, were left in the Wenhua Hall. Even Ma and the eunuch slipped away under Wang De's urging.

Zhu Yunxi stared at Lao Zhu's face, and asked with displeasure.

"Grandpa Huang, who talks so fast, and comes here to gossip again?"

"Is it Tang He or Fu Youde?"

Because these two people were in the Jinghai Navy, Zhu Yunxi immediately suspected these two people.

Old Zhu shook his head when he heard the words.

"You don't care who it is, hurry up and order someone to call your second uncle back, what if you really fall into the sea and drown?"

Zhu Yunxi had already made up his mind to send his second uncle Zhu Xi to study abroad, how could he be easily brought back?
"Grandfather, grandson thinks so."

"Grandson is going to form a fleet of more than 5000 people to circumnavigate the world. Don't worry about sending someone from our old Zhu's family to stare at me!"

"If the leader of the fleet is self-reliant, wouldn't our 5000 people be beaten?"

"Besides, I spent tens of millions of taels of money to build this fleet!"

"Grandfather, think about it, such an expensive fleet, who can help me watch it except Second Uncle?"

As soon as Lao Zhu heard that tens of millions of taels had been spent, his heart ached immediately.

"you're right!"

"Such an important fleet, it's impossible not to send our Zhu family to watch over it!"

"Since you trust your second uncle so much, then we have nothing to worry about..."
