Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 32 The steam engine is completed
Originally, Cao Wei just wanted to spend the last year in peace and give Cao Ying some modern knowledge as much as possible.

When Cao Ying was asked to take part in the imperial examination, he was asked to give it a try because he was smart. Later, the countdown appeared, thinking that after he left, Cao Ying could have a foundation for a stable life.

As for blending with some big figures in history, Cao Wei never had this idea from the beginning to the end.

In terms of power, others can throw you away dozens of times, but you have sold yourself and you are still counting money for others.

Maybe you only do a small thing, but infringe on the interests of some people without knowing it, and you will have many enemies without knowing it.

In terms of military strength, Cao Wei has practiced Bajiquan for 12 years, and he is indeed good at martial arts, but no matter how good he is, he is definitely no match for the army.

Cao Wei has no power and power, and knows that he can't afford to play with these big shots, and he doesn't want to play with them.

But things backfired, Cao Wei didn't even know how Zhu Di noticed him, and now he forced himself to stand in line.

There is no doubt that Zhu Di is a very ambitious person, not to mention that there is Dao Yan beside him who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

It seems safe to follow Zhu Di, and you can become a dragon in just a few years, but how many people died in a disaster?

Zhu Di fought against the Jianwen Central Committee with the power of a vassal king. Although Zhu Yunqi was surrounded by pig teammates, which made it easier for Zhu Di to calm down several times, it was still extremely dangerous!
The power of the vassal king is not at the same level as the imperial court!

Cao Wei has less than a year left before returning to modern times. According to the historical process, nothing major will happen in the next year. It doesn't matter who he sides with.

But Cao Ying is not. Cao Ying will always stay in Ming Dynasty, and any decision Cao Wei makes will affect Cao Ying's future path.

If Cao Wei joins Zhu Di now, he will be able to leave Daming smoothly after a year, but Cao Ying has to face a dangerous and uncertain future.

Cao Wei regards Cao Ying as his own son, how can he bear to let him go into danger alone?
But it is not wise to reject Zhu Di directly.

After all, Zhu Di will be the emperor of Ming Dynasty in the future, and to refuse is to offend. It is not known whether he will wear small shoes for Cao Ying in the future.

According to Cao Wei's idea, it was Cao Ying who passed the imperial examination, entered the Imperial Academy, and spent a period of time in the court.

As long as Cao Ying is warned in advance, after Zhu Di Jingnan raises his troops, he will act according to the situation and find an opportunity to defect to Zhu Di's Northern Army, for example... open a city gate or something.

Isn't this a steady effort from the dragon?
And for Zhu Di, this was also timely and a great contribution!Cao Ying will have no worries for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, the plan has not kept up with the changes.

With his thoughts changing, Cao Wei weighed the pros and cons in his mind...

at this time,

The two happened to be standing at the intersection of three roads.

One is the way Cao Wei went home, the other is the way towards the blacksmith's shop when he came, and the other... passes through a village, and then crosses the Qinhuai River to the imperial city.

Cao Wei's answer will determine whether the two part ways or continue to walk together.

Zhu Di seemed to have calmed down, with a calm expression on his face, quietly waiting for Cao Wei's reply.

at last,

Cao Wei said, "I know what His Highness wants to do, the road ahead is extremely dangerous. As a grassroots, I have to be cautious, and I hope His Highness will give the grassroots some time to think about it."

Although Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged, his heart was filled with turmoil, and a murderous intent flashed through his eyes in an instant!
Cao Wei knew that what he wanted to do was extremely dangerous?
How would he know? !

All along, he has firmly suppressed his ambition and never revealed it. Everything he does is what a feudal lord should do.

How could Cao Wei know...

Zhu Di was in shock and doubts!

But precisely because of this sentence, Zhu Di paid more attention to Cao Wei!
Cao Wei is really a strange person who can know what is in his heart from thousands of miles away!

Such strange people are exactly what he needs most!

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Di made a decision in his heart!
"I will give you time to think about it. How long do you need?"

"At the end of September, the common people can give His Highness an answer."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you!"

After the two spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Who are they now?stranger?ally?Neither seems accurate.

However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and turned around and walked towards the blacksmith shop. Neither of them spoke on the way.

When he arrived at the blacksmith's shop, Zhu Di didn't plan to stay here for a long time, "Brother Cao, I will take my leave first, and we will meet again in the future."

Cao Wei was getting what he wanted, and nodded repeatedly, "Your Highness, walk slowly."

Seeing Zhu Di walking farther and farther away, Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

It is really dangerous to offend a vassal who will be the emperor in the future!

The reason why Cao Wei had to wait until the end of September to give Zhu Di an answer was because in his impression, in September of the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made Zhu Yunqi the crown prince!
But Cao Wei couldn't remember exactly when it was in September, so he could only postpone it as far as possible.

For anyone, he may not remember clearly the icing on the cake, but sending charcoal in the snow must be more deeply rooted in people's hearts!

Cao Wei believes that Zhu Di is the same...

At that time, Zhu Yunqi was already the crown prince, so no matter how you looked at it, Zhu Di was out of the game.

If Cao Wei chooses to seek refuge with Zhu Di again at this time, he will surely share troubles with him...

This is the real merit of Conglong!
Even if Cao Wei's countdown ends and he leaves the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di will never embarrass Cao Ying again!
After waiting for a while at the blacksmith shop, the blacksmiths stopped working after the sky darkened.

Cao Wei also returned home with the piston and ruler.

the next day.

[Countdown to return: 337 days, 14 hours, 31 minutes and 37 seconds]

Yan Zhenzhi came.

When Cao Wei saw Yan Zhenzhi, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Yan Zhong is fine and fine.

Moreover, Cao Wei felt that when Yan Zhong came, Yan Wang Zhu Di probably wouldn't come.

His guess was good. Zhu Di would not get too close to Cao Wei in front of Yan Zhenzhi, otherwise it would be too abnormal.

"Old Yan, what did you do yesterday? I was worried that you would steal the ruler from the Ministry of Works and give it to me, and you would be caught and suffer disaster." Cao Wei was extremely relaxed in front of Yan Zhenzhi.

Yan Zhenzhi could only find an excuse to prevaricate, and hurriedly dragged Cao Wei to the blacksmith shop.

The reason why Yan Zhenzhi couldn't come yesterday is naturally related to Zhu Di.

Yesterday, he went to court, went to the Ministry of Industry, picked up a ruler and was about to rush to Jiangning County, but was stopped by Zhu Di and Dao Yan.

Dao Yan claimed that he wanted to see with his own eyes the gear set and pulley set made by the Ministry of Engineering, and also wanted Yan Zhenzhi to explain to him how the gear set and pulley set were used together.

In front of Zhu Di, Yan Zhen couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it, but the ruler still had to be given to Cao Wei, but Zhu Di accepted the matter for the first time.

This is why Zhu Di came to deliver the ruler to Cao Wei yesterday. Yan Zhenzhi was just being pestered by Dao Yan and wandered around the Ministry of Industry for a whole day...

The two of them were as usual, except going to the blacksmith shop every day to go fishing with their fishing rods.

After nearly ten days, Zhu Di never appeared again.

While Cao Wei and Yan Zhenzhi were busy day and night, the steam engine was finally completed!
