Villager of Daming

Chapter 620 Zhongyuan arrives home at an amazing speed

"Come on~~~ Enter the Yangtze River!" The large group of people were still walking on the road, and the two-thousand-stone paddle wheel ship rushed to the Yangtze River with a group of small steam engine ships.

Zhu Chong shouted on the bow of the boat, today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, it is just past Chen hour.

The fleet traveled like crazy on the river, traveling more than 2000 miles and traveling here in four days.

An average of [-] miles a day, because there are places on the canal where the current is reversed, which affects the speed.

Now the ship is less than [-] miles away from the Qinhuai River, and the Qinhuai River is not even [-] miles away. We are about to reach the imperial city.

The sails of the big ship are raised, and at this time there is a favorable wind and a reverse current.

Everyone watched the sun move, and everyone became anxious. They adjusted the steam engine to run at maximum speed. No matter whether the transmission equipment could withstand it or not, it was the last leg of the journey anyway.

Other small steamboats also fought hard. They rushed over to let other boats give way. Generally, upstream boats gave way to downstream boats, because downstream boats were fast and difficult to adjust.

Today was special. The boat ran out for more than ten miles to direct other boats to pull over.

Ships that always sail here already know this kind of steam engine ship, which has two advantages: fast speed and no need for trackers to pull the fiber.

When I see this kind of boat, I understand that it represents the palace, so give in!Anyway, go with the flow and pull over.

Then the ship that got out of the way saw the sea ship rushing towards it. This sea ship had wheels on both sides, spinning constantly, and the sails were going up.

Look at the flag again, the prince and the king of Qin?Two people went to the sea?Where did the ship come from?
"Come on! Come on!" Zhu Ming stopped eating and stood on the bow of the boat with a glass of beer in his hand. He became more anxious as he got closer to home.

Zhu Biao pursed his lips and said nothing. He was even more anxious. His prince's palace and son could be seen right away.

He had to return to the Prince's Mansion before dark. It was Weichu, and two hours had passed since he entered the Yangtze River.

There were still twenty miles to go to the Qinhuai River. The people on the boat loading coal for the steam engine changed batch after batch. They were frantically blowing air and adding coal.

Zhu Wentian stood beside the two of them, with no other expression on his face, still looking naive.

Two-quarters of an hour later, there was an island in the middle of the river. The water flow slowed down a bit, so the team plunged straight in and reached the mouth of the Qinhuai River. The boat in front continued to drive other boats on the Qinhuai River to the side.

Then the ship stopped at Changgan Bridge, and it couldn't pass. It was too big. A small ship could get through the big hole, but a two-thousand-stone sea-going ship couldn't do anything.

"Wait!" Zhu Biao stayed on the boat. He didn't dare to go down because there were too few people.

What if someone assassinates me!Your own guards may not be able to keep an eye on everyone.

As soon as the fleet entered the Qinhuai River, there were already people riding fast horses on the bank to report the news to the imperial city. It was the best time to wait.

On the second day of Shenchu, a large group of people came to the area around Changgan Bridge. The Qinhuai River was under martial law and no ships were allowed on the river.

Zhu Biao and others got off the boat, changed to a carriage, and headed towards Xuanjian Bridge.

Others carried the things on the boat, and the steam engine boat passed through the bridge hole and rushed to the moat outside Donghua Gate.

At this time, other people are allowed to pass normally. After the ship has finished unloading its cargo, it can turn around and park at the mouth of the Qinhuai River.

Zhu Biao was not as fast as the people from Xiaqiu Village who took the boat home. 44 people arrived at Donghua Gate first.

At this time, no one was paying attention to them. They didn't bring anything with them. All the goods were on the boat. Others would unload them and then send them to Xiaqiu Village.

Everyone ran through Chaoyang Gate, said hello to everyone they met, and ran to take a shower and change clothes.

At the second moment of Shen Zheng, Zhu Biao and Zhu Feng arrived at Xuanjin Gate, and the city gate was wide open.The two of them got on the train, and the small steam engine whined to find their father.

When the two met Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was still reviewing the question book patiently. There seemed to be no problem, but the question book had been sitting there without turning a page for a long time.

The two brothers knelt there with tears streaming down their faces.

"Get up, oh! We can't pretend anymore. Why are you back so soon? You thought you had to wait until the twelfth lunar month."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were also red. Who would have thought that the team had just set off at the beginning of autumn and would arrive in Nanjing on the Lantern Festival.

"Xiaqiu Village said that there are good things to be built, and they can either come back quickly this year and build them for use, or use them next year. We abandoned the entire team and asked them to follow behind."

Zhu Biao wiped away his tears and told him why he came back as soon as possible.

"Anyway, it's nothing special. It just provides a place where oil and gas can be pumped out at a depth of more than 300 feet.

Ask them to drill it like a brine well, and then send them special well-drilling equipment and pipes to help.

You can drill down several feet in one day, and you will probably see oil before the end of the year. That thing is so useful. "

Zhu Xi followed and said, if there is oil, there will be kerosene, diesel, gasoline, petrolatum, paraffin, and some polyethylene and polypropylene.

"Go and see your mother, and then go back to your home to rest. We will bring the jade seal over during the day tomorrow, and at the same time complete the Northern Patrol."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his two sons were in good condition and felt relieved. He was not going to let them continue to struggle today.

The two of them left, went to Kunning Palace, said a few words to Queen Ma, and then went back to their respective mansions.

Zhu Feng returned to his Prince Qin's Mansion with his men. He actually didn't care and had no worries. What worried him most was the beer shop, Jubiqi, and the department store.

His woman went to the Northern Patrol with him, so there was nothing in the palace.

Zhu Biao was different. He hurried back to the Crown Prince's Mansion, and the Crown Princess was waiting at the door with his team.

The two of them greeted each other, and Zhu Biao looked at the little baby standing next to him, looking up at him.

"Xiongying, call me daddy! Call me!" the princess said to her son.

The little baby continued to look at her, and time seemed to pass very slowly until he called out "Dad" and Zhu Biao picked him up for a kiss. This was considered the end of the etiquette and there was no need to kneel down.

Everyone around him looked happy. The baby felt this atmosphere and jumped up and down in his father's arms, giggling.

After entering the room, he put his son down and rushed into the bathroom. He took a shower in less than half a quarter of an hour, changed his clothes, and came back to have someone help him dry his hair.

He takes a shower every day on the boat. When he comes back, it is a ritual and he does not need help from others.

"This is the real jade seal. This is for our hero. This is for you."

Zhu Biao brought over three boxes, one containing the imperial seal, one containing a colorful stone carving for his son, and one containing a carving for the crown princess.

The Crown Princess took out her son's font first and couldn't stop laughing. It was the first time she saw this font.

Then I took out my own set and looked at it. My eyes shone again. The jewelry looked dignified and elegant.

"Xiongying, you can't eat it. Your Highness, where can I find a good craftsman?" The princess took a piece of jade from her son's hand, and the baby was biting it!
"It was given to the village chief, who took it away and sent it back. There were two sets of that one, one for show, and then another set was made. There are many such stones in Helin's place."

As Zhu Biao spoke, he picked up his son again and rubbed and kissed his son's face!
