I'm in the Red Mansion

Princess Lilia thought seriously for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, I still like to walk around and appreciate the scenery of nature."

"Being a king is tiring. I've seen my father not resting all day. By the way, you are also an emperor, so you should understand this."

Jia Cong has more than just experience. He has too much experience.

This is still the case when he was not a wise ruler and decisively delegated power.

Even so, he had to spend at least half of his time every day handling government affairs.

A diligent king would probably have to deal with government affairs from morning to night.

Therefore, being a wise king is not necessarily a blessing.

Unless you are a tyrant.

If Princess Lilia really had ambitions, Jia Cong would be able to help her ascend to the throne.

But since she doesn't have that intention, then forget it.

Princess Lilia, once you taste the sweetness, you get a taste of it.

Although she was experiencing the pain of losing her virginity for the first time, she was still very brave and good at fighting, and she took the initiative to start a fight.

But he was defeated quickly. He was just a rookie who was inexperienced and loved to play.

In the following days, Princess Lilia and Jia Cong were as close as honey and oil.

The two of them were inseparable and it was really absurd for a few days.

After seven days, Princess Lilia left reluctantly.

Of course, Jia Cong did not disappoint her.

This time, she was given 200 trams and 5,000 gramophones.

As for blank discs, they are counted in the wheel box.

This time, she made a lot of money again. Princess Lilia was naturally very happy.

After Princess Lilia left, Queen Lin Daiyu could not help but find Jia Cong and asked, "Your Majesty, which palace should I prepare for Sister Lilia to live in?"

In the past, Lin Daiyu never called Jia Cong "Your Majesty", but just called him "Third Brother Cong".

Now he called out to His Majesty and asked which palace should be prepared for Princess Lilia.

There was a hint of sourness in these words.

However, since Jia Cong was having an affair outside, it was no wonder that Lin Daiyu was jealous.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Sister Lin, that's not true. If I hadn't told you, I wouldn't have married her."

"Now that she has returned to Zhenzhen Country, are you overthinking it?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Cong with a half-smile and asked, "Third Brother Cong, is that really the case? Would Third Brother Cong chase her to Zhenzhen Country?"

Seeing the embarrassment on Jia Cong's face, Lin Daiyu did not make it too difficult for him and lightly let the matter go.

However, even the Queen Mother knew about this.

He even called Jia Cong and asked him when he would marry the foreign princess.

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother is still very open-minded.

I don’t think Princess Lilia’s blonde hair and blue eyes make her look weird at all.

Anyway, any girl you can marry is a good girl.

Jia Cong said awkwardly: "Mother, Princess Lilia and I are just ordinary friends. How can we be at the stage of discussing marriage?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression suddenly became stern.

She couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, although you are the ruler of a country, you must never do such things as seducing someone and then abandoning them. That is a violation of your moral character!"

The Queen Mother's fate was not good.

When she was young, she was favored by Jia She and forcibly married. How could there be any love between the two of them?
The Queen Mother had been caught in the rain herself, so she didn't want to see other women caught in the rain, although their situations were somewhat different.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was serious, Jia Cong hurriedly explained: "Mother, this is actually the case. It's not that I don't want to marry Princess Lilia."

"She is reluctant to leave her homeland and doesn't want to leave their country. I have asked her about it before, but she only wants to do that and doesn't want to marry here."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother said, "If that's the case, that's fine. Just don't let others down."

After hearing this, Jia Cong nodded repeatedly.

It is said that trams and phonographs were not only popular in the West, but also extremely popular in China.

The quantity sold in China is much less than that sold in Zhenzhen Country.

After all, the selling price in Zhenzhen Country is 20,000 gold coins. If converted into silver, it would be around 200,000 taels of silver.

The selling price in China was only 20,000 taels of silver, which was only one tenth of the price in the West.

The profit difference is as much as forty-five times.

Because the selling prices were so different, Jia Cong naturally sold them to Zhenzhen Kingdom first.

But now, the research institute has increased its production.

Now we are building new factories and new production lines.

Once put into operation, the annual output can reach two to three thousand vehicles.

Although this number is still not high.

But it's barely enough.

After all, the price of this electric car is comparable to that of later supercars, and it is not affordable for ordinary people.

However, even in China, he is sought after by aristocratic families.

Especially the aristocratic families.

The so-called century-old dynasty and thousand-year-old family.

The inheritance of a noble family is longer than that of a dynasty.

And they naturally pay more attention to appearance.

Electric cars are the symbol of today's facade.

Of course, the children of aristocratic families are not so superficial.

But they were shocked by the changes in the world today.

The changes in China are now happening so fast that they can hardly understand it.

Even though they are from aristocratic families, they know how terrible the general trend is.

The so-called general trend of the world is unstoppable. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.

Even if they are a noble family, if they cannot adapt to the trend, they will inevitably end up in failure.

Although aristocratic families have been established for more than a thousand years, they have also experienced decline.

But he eventually made a comeback.

But this kind of thing may not happen again.

If they fail again, they may not have a chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, they are very cautious about the current trend.

Electric vehicles are one way for them to understand the general trend.

As a result, almost all wealthy families rushed to buy electric cars.

And trying to establish a relationship with electric vehicles.

But they simply couldn't find a way.

There is not even a queue to buy a car.

After all, the number of trams sold in China is still too small.

There are only about one or two hundred of them across the country.

And the vast majority of them were sold to ministers in the court.

For example, people who have made great contributions to the founding of the country, such as Fu Cha Chusheng, have the right of first refusal.

People like Feng Ziying are the same.

Those noble families, even if they are rich, cannot get a place in the rankings.

Therefore, if anyone can buy a tram nowadays, it is more than just a symbol of financial strength.

It also represents a symbol of status.

……

With the continuous promotion of electricity, one-tenth of China now has electricity.

Today, the application of electricity is still very limited and has not been applied to industry.

In fact, even in Beijing, the application of electricity in industry is not very common.

At present, the research institute is conducting research in this area.

Electricity is generated by water power, and this clean and renewable resource should be fully utilized. Due to the promotion of electricity, all areas with electricity have installed telegraphs.

In this way, whenever there is any urgent matter, the news can be directly transmitted to the capital via the telegraph.

In this way, even if an emergency occurs in a certain place, it will not be necessary to use express delivery of 800 miles as before.

To those remote areas, it may take more than half a month to go back and forth.

If there is an emergency, everything will be delayed.

Nowadays, all you need to do is use telegrams to send messages.

If there is any news, it can be reported to the capital on the same day.

In this way, the empire will not lose control over the local areas due to its vast territory.

……

Prince Jia Cang no longer does farm work.

The tradition of doing farm work was passed on to the remaining older princes.

Princesses don't need to do these dirty and tiring work. This is also Jia Cong's tradition of raising girls in wealth and boys in poverty.

And now, Crown Prince Jia Cang is learning new knowledge with Johann Adam Schall von Bell.

It has to be said that Crown Prince Jia Cang has perfectly inherited Jia Cong's excellent genes and is very intelligent.

A lot of knowledge can be acquired with a little flexibility, and even the ability to remember everything you see.

This also made Tang Ruowang feel like he had found a treasure, and he felt that he had found a disciple who could inherit his mantle.

It would be even better if this disciple was not the prince.

However, although the prince is smart, he is restless.

I always wanted to make an earth-shattering invention.

Therefore, they often act very boldly.

Sometimes the laboratory would even be blown up or set on fire, which was a common occurrence.

Sometimes it is inevitable to make yourself look embarrassed.

Sometimes when the Empress Dowager and the Queen saw him, they would become very worried.

He was even unwilling to let Jia Cong learn new knowledge.

This situation also gave Jia Cong a headache.

I don’t know who this little guy looks like. I’m not like that either.

As for her mother, she was even more quiet, not like him at all.
One day, Jia Cong was processing memorials when suddenly the chief eunuch Zhou Liang rushed in with a report: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"

Jia Cong's face darkened as he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is the sky falling?"

Zhou Liang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the prince, the prince has flown to the sky."

"what?"

Jia Cong was also shocked by the news.

What does it mean that the prince flew to the sky?

Do you know what you are talking about?

But soon, Jia Cong realized something.

Oh my god, could the prince be researching hot air balloons?

This is very possible.

Study hot air balloons, then ride one yourself and fly into the sky.

But didn't he know that it would be very dangerous?

If you are not careful and it falls from the sky, then no one will be able to help you.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong was shocked and said quickly: "Where is the prince? Take me there quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, Zhou Liang brought Jia Cong to the research institute.

From a distance, Jia Cong saw a small object floating in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Jia Cong's heart couldn't help but hang in the air.

There is no doubt that this is a hot air balloon.

This bastard is really lawless!
Jia Cong quickly rushed to the research institute and found that countless people inside had already been alarmed.

The leader, Johann Adam Schall Johann Adam Schall von Bell, was so anxious that he kept turning around and roaring at his subordinates.

Soon, Tang Ruowang saw Jia Cong and knelt down on the ground in panic.

It seemed that because he felt extremely guilty, Jia Cong trusted and valued him so much that he handed the prince over to him for teaching.

However, he failed to keep an eye on the prince, putting him in danger.

Now he really feels guilty towards Jia Cong.

He knelt on the ground, unable to speak for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears.

Jia Cong hurriedly ordered someone to pull Tang Ruowang up, and then said, "Mr. Tang, it was all that little beast's fault. This has nothing to do with you."

Just as Tang Ruowang was about to speak, he saw in the distance the carriages of the Empress Dowager and the Queen all arriving.

I guess they all got the news, so why wouldn't they rush over in a panic?
Soon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived one after another.

After getting off the car, the two looked at the sky and couldn't help bursting into tears.

Jia Cong rushed forward to comfort them, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

In the sky, the prince must have also seen this scene.

He hurriedly controlled the hot air balloon and slowly landed it.

At this time, everyone saw that the hot air balloon was tied with a long rope from the bottom.

The rope was stretched straight just now, but no one noticed it.

Now that we've landed and the rope is hanging down, we can see it.

Seeing the rope, Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief.

If there is a rope, it can still provide some security.

The prince seemed to realize that he had gotten into trouble, and he descended very quickly.

As the hot air balloon descended, it gradually became larger in the eyes of everyone.

Soon, everyone saw the true appearance of the hot air balloon.

When Jia Cong saw this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

I have to say, this little guy is quite capable.

This hot air balloon looks quite exquisitely made.

As the hot air balloon descended lower and lower, the shadows of Prince Jia Cang could be seen in the hanging basket, with a little eunuch following him.

Seeing Jia Cang, the Queen Mother and the Empress became more excited and could not help but step forward to greet them.

Jia Cong quickly asked someone to stop them.

After a while, the hot air balloon finally landed on the ground.

Probably due to their lack of experience, they were unable to control the speed of descent.

The landing speed was a bit too fast.

Pong!
With a loud bang, Crown Prince Jia Cang and another young eunuch fell heavily out of the hanging basket.

The Queen Mother and the Empress cried out in fear, their faces turning pale.

Fortunately, the prince and the little eunuch quickly climbed up from the ground with grimace on their faces.

The young eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to support the prince, shaking with fear.

The young eunuch had a bad feeling in his heart. He was afraid that his life would be in danger today.

Although it was clearly the prince who forced him to go to heaven with him.

But who can blame him for being the prince?

Once trouble occurs, whether it is the Empress Dowager, the Queen or the Emperor, they will take it out on the people around the Prince.

Therefore, the little eunuch was very panicked at this time.

At this time, the prince was also very panicked.

He himself realized that he had gotten into big trouble this time.

I'm afraid it won't end well. (End of this chapter)
