After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 647 Hot Wheels

Several guards spread out a huge map of the world and showed it to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

"This is the Maldives that Mr. Qin mentioned." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a place on the map with a long stick, and said.

The officials looked at it and were stunned.

"Your Majesty, the Maldives is too small, isn't it?" a civil servant said, "Such a small place is not as big as a state capital, so Yiweichen doesn't think it's worth much."

"That's right." Even Liu Bowen nodded and said, "That's really small."

"Furthermore, the Maldives is located in the center of the ocean, and even a little bit of strong wind and waves will easily cause disaster." Li Shanchang said, "So I agree with Mr. Zhao's point of view that the Maldives are not of much value. And it is too far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Occupying or not occupying does not make any difference to the Ming Dynasty."

"More importantly, once the sea water rises, it may directly submerge the entire Maldives." Another minister said.

"Can the sea water rise so high that it will directly submerge the Maldives?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, and he was not sure about this question.

"I think it's entirely possible," said a royal doctor.

"In addition, the old minister also feels that the Maldives is a bit unlucky." Song Lian stood up and said.

"Why is it unlucky?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

"I don't know if Your Majesty has noticed that the Maldives is like a scar on the world map." Song Lian said, "That's why the old minister suggested that the Maldives should not be used."

"Not bad!"

"Not bad!"

After Song Lian's reminder, the officials looked at Maldives and it really looked like a wound that hadn't healed.Therefore, everyone agrees with Song Lian's point of view, thinking that it is a bit unlucky.

"But Xu Da has already said in the memorial that what Mr. Qin means is that he wants to send people to settle in the Maldives." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "That place will become a rich place sooner or later."

Hearing that Qin Yu had spoken, the officials fell silent.

"Since the master said that he would send people to settle down, we must send people to settle down. Mr. Qin's vision is not comparable to ordinary people like me." Zhu Yuanzhang said,
"However, all the ministers said that the Maldives is unlucky, and we also think it makes sense."

"Well, we originally planned to send a few sons of prominent families to settle and prosper in the past. We will not send them now, but send some criminals and relatives of the prisoners who should have been exiled. .”

"Treat the Maldives as a place of exile."

"Emperor Shengming!"

"Long live the emperor!"

Anyway, there are many officials who have been dealt with and exiled, and their relatives have also been imprisoned, and they are worried that there is no place to house them.exile these people to the Maldives,

It didn't violate Qin Yu's intentions, and it satisfied all the officials.

……

a few days later.

Yingtianfu, the imperial palace.

In the wide field, Lao Zhu is pushing a brand new bicycle and is practicing riding there.Xu Da sent over the blueprints of the bicycle in the memorial.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly ordered the Weaving Department to rush to make it overnight, and finally finished it on the third day.

I couldn't wait to take it out for a test ride.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

"The emperor turns to the left!"

When he was studying, Lao Zhu himself didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, a group of anxious eunuchs were sweating profusely, for fear of hurting the dragon's body.Seeing the bicycle stumbling around, the eunuchs kept reminding them.

Lao Zhu is tall and big, and it is the first time to play this thing,

The balance is not grasped well,

There was a sudden sharp turn, and the people and the car fell to one side.

Seeing this, an eunuch next to him rushed over and used his body to support Lao Zhu and his bicycle. "Ouch, ouch." The eunuch kept screaming,
It looks like a broken leg.

"Come here, take him to see the imperial doctor." Zhu Yuanzhang got up from the ground and helped up the bicycle lane.He frowned: "It is indeed difficult to ride this thing, much more difficult than riding a fierce horse."

"My Majesty." Yang Xian said next to him, "In Yichen's opinion, the bicycle invented by Mr. Qin is indeed much more difficult to steer than a horse. A horse has at least four legs, while it has only two wheels. unstable."

"In my opinion, this bicycle can't be ridden smoothly at all." Li Shanchang said, "Because it can't even stand on its own. An old saying goes: If you are not upright, how can you be upright?"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Do you dare to doubt something invented by Mr. Qin? Since Mr. Qin said that people can ride smoothly on it, it must be possible to do it."

"It's the old minister's slip of the tongue." Li Shanchang said repeatedly after hearing the words.

"Your Majesty, this bicycle is a new invention of Mr. Qin after all. It is too high-end, and I am afraid we cannot fully control it in a short time." Liu Bowen said, "And it is also very dangerous, so the old minister suggested, You might as well ask the minister to try riding it first, and after mastering the experience, the emperor will ride again."

"You are all scholars, we can't ride well, can you still ride well?" However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very unconvinced, "We can't do it, we still can't handle a bicycle."

After speaking, step on the bicycle again and start practicing.

Seeing this, the eunuchs next to him immediately rushed over to help, for fear that the emperor would fall again.

"Let's go away, go far away." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Riding a bicycle should be like riding a horse. If you always have someone to support you, I'm afraid you will never learn it."

"And you can't learn it without a few falls!"

"Your Majesty, the villain can't let go. If the villain lets go, it's like putting the emperor in danger! The emperor is injured because of this, and the villain is guilty of deceiving the emperor!" A group of eunuchs said.

"Get out, get out!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You want to resist the edict?",

When the eunuchs heard this, they let go of Lao Zhu, and they didn't dare to follow too closely.

After Zhu Yuanzhang broke free from the shackles, he was finally free.I started to let myself go, stumbling around on the bicycle, causing the crowd to scream again and again, and my heart was in my throat.

Finally, after a while of practice, Lao Zhu finally had some experience.

Started to be able to master the balance.

"Cool!" Lao Zhu said after gliding on the bicycle for a certain distance.

This thing can actually be ridden?When the officials saw this, their eyes widened in shock.

"Today is really an eye-opener for the old minister!" Li Shanchang sighed, "As the saying goes, even if you are not upright, you can't stand on your own, but you can ride smoothly on this bicycle!!! "

"Your Majesty riding on it is almost like Nezha riding a hot wheel!" Yang Xian stepped forward and said.

"Yeah, this is too much like Nezha pedaling Hot Wheels." Zhu Yuanzhang also said.He continued to ride on the bicycle, and the more he rode, the smoother he became, and the more he rode, the more comfortable he was.
