Ling Yu was busy in Shudi, and the newspaper was also sent to the capital, and on this day, Zhou Zhengxiong was reading the newspaper sent by Ling Yu in the imperial study.

"Hehe, this kid, I also mentioned it at that time, and this has already made detailed arrangements, yes, very good, Bin'er will have a humerus in the future." Zhou Zhengxiong smiled happily.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the report of the master of the horse, His Royal Highness King Qi also reported, saying that the cultivator is running very well in the Huangzhuang, please ask Your Majesty whether it is promoted in the territory of Shuntian Mansion." Yucheng said simply, and then took out another copy of the report and handed it to Zhou Zhengxiong.

"Well, yes, Bin'er can finally do something serious, Yucheng, I used to worry that Bin'er was too playful and lazy and easy to make mistakes, it seems that Bin'er and my son-in-law can learn some skills after staying for a long time." Zhou Zhengxiong looked at Zhou Shaobin's recital, and Lao Huai was relieved.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi used to be just a little younger, but now that he has grown up, he naturally has His Majesty's style, and the old slave also watched His Highness grow up, and he always knew that His Highness would become a talent sooner or later." Yucheng said with a smile, seeing that Zhou Zhengxiong was happy, he naturally had to say something nice.

"Hehe, you are a jade cheng, you have said all the good things, there is nothing to do left and right, set up the Huangzhuang, I want to see with my own eyes what that kid is doing." Zhou Zhengxiong said with a smile.

"Yes, slave maidservant, Your Majesty, do you use that locomotive to the chariot?" Yucheng asked carefully, after all, the locomotive is something that has not yet been made public, and the emperor usually uses it in the palace, so if he wants to leave the palace at this time, he naturally has to ask.

"Well, let's use the locomotive royal chariot, it's fast, it's safe, by the way, Yucheng, how are your driving skills now? You're my driver. Zhou Zhengxiong asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has always studied and practiced hard, and when he was in the palace, the old slave drove His Majesty to travel, and His Majesty must also know how the old slave's skills are." Yucheng said with a smile.

"Hehe, okay, let's go." Zhou Zhengxiong waved his hand, and he asked casually, it has always been Yucheng who has managed the locomotive royal chariot, if he didn't need to leave the palace, he wouldn't have asked this question.

Soon, Zhou Zhengxiong got on the psionic locomotive that he asked from Ling Yu last time, and now the psionic locomotive is very different from the past, the decoration is gorgeous, after all, it is a royal chariot, and it will take some effort to naturally decorate, the bright yellow color of the whole body is noble, symbolizing the identity of the emperor, and Ling Yu originally used a black leather seat, which was also changed to a bright yellow color scheme by Yucheng.

The interior of the locomotive has also been repaired, some seats have been removed, and small furniture such as low tables and low cabinets have been placed, Zhou Zhengxiong can directly sit in the locomotive for some simple office, leaving a driver's seat in front, and other places have also been modified, and the rear space is more spacious.

The locomotive is not fast, after all, it is necessary to take care of the speed of the guards, the emperor travels, naturally with a large number of guards, so the speed of the locomotive is about the same as the previous carriage, but the comfort is several grades, there is air conditioning inside, it is already the beginning of March, and the capital is still a little cold, but the locomotive with air conditioning can naturally ignore these.

Zhou Zhengxiong was half-lying comfortably on the seat specially designed for him, looking at the street scene outside the car window with great interest.

There are a large number of guards on the side, the common people naturally can't get close, plus the locomotive decoration poop, at a glance, you know that it is a royal thing, naturally no one will dare to explore, Zhou Zhengxiong and his party went out of the city very smoothly and went to the Huangzhuang.

"Hey, come on, I'm done testing, there's no problem, it should have been caused by your improper operation just now." Zhou Shaobin jumped off the cultivator and said to a steward of the imperial village standing next to him.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are stupid, please teach me again." The steward was very embarrassed and said that he felt that he was too stupid, seeing others speeding through the fields with a cultivator, and he couldn't operate it, and there were always inexplicable problems.

"Okay, this king will teach you again, you have to remember, then you don't have to be in charge, and go down to the field to farm." Zhou Shaobin didn't have a good airway, he had already taught this steward several times, but he still couldn't figure out the way.

There are more than 200 cultivators in Huangzhuang, under the leadership of the various managers in Huangzhuang, the tenants of Huangzhuang are learning the operation of the cultivator, now it seems that the situation is very good, the cultivation speed is very fast, the cultivator sent yesterday has cultivated hundreds of acres of land today, and the efficiency is not worse than the harvester.

"The emperor has arrived." I only heard Yucheng's sharp voice outside, it turned out that he was driving the locomotive slowly in.

"Erchen has seen his father." Zhou Shaobin immediately put down the matter at hand, waited for Zhou Zhengxiong to get off the station, and stepped forward to salute first, and then everyone present came up to salute.

"It's all excused." Zhou Zhengxiong waved his hand and smiled.

"Father, why did you come here?" Zhou Shaobin asked puzzledly, it hadn't been long since his report was sent to the palace.

"I want to come and see the cultivator with my own eyes, there is nothing to do, so I came, don't be affected by me, what should you do and continue to do, I will see for myself." Zhou Zhengxiong said to the people around him with a smile.

After everyone saluted, they went back to perform their duties, and Zhou Shaobin left behind the stupid steward and stayed by Zhou Zhengxiong's side, explaining all the way. Love books

"Bin'er, how efficient is this cultivator now?" Walking to the edge of the cultivator, Zhou Zhengxiong stopped, patted the cultivator and asked.

"Father, the efficiency of the cultivator is very ideal, it will not be worse than the harvester, it can also reach 2 hours to cultivate 10 acres of land, and it is also 1 low-grade spirit crystal that can support the cultivation of 1,000 acres of land." Zhou Shaobin explained that this result also met Ling Yu's original design requirements.

"Well, that's very good." Zhou Zhengxiong nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "I read your report that it should be promoted near Shuntianfu, can the production capacity of the Academy of Sciences be satisfied now?" ”

"Father, there is no problem at all, Brother Ling has already explained that the workshop is working overtime before going on the expedition, and now there is a certain number of spirit core manufacturing machines, and the production of various things is much faster, and it is basically possible to promote the production of 100 units per day near Shuntian Mansion, which is no problem for the current production capacity of the base workshop, if the base is fully producing, there is no problem with 1,000 units a day, but in order to ensure the production of the most important weapons, it is only promoted in Shuntian Mansion for the time being." Zhou Shaobin explained.

"Oh? So how is the workshop producing weapons now? Zhou Zhengxiong asked with interest.

"Father, now the second division of the Guards is fully loaded, including artillery, and it can also produce 100 artillery pieces per day, 1,000 muskets in reserve, as for ammunition, it is even more, and it can be used for several years if you use it hard." Zhou Shaobin smiled proudly, now he is more aware of the matter of the base workshop.

"Very good, when Ling Aiqing comes back, I will order him to train the other 4 armies, and now store the weapons, I agree to your plan, without affecting the weapon reserves, take the lead in promoting cultivators in Shuntian Mansion." Zhou Zhengxiong said in high spirits, this is good news, indicating the soaring overall combat strength of the Beijing army.

Zhou Zhengxiong has already received the battle report from Sichuan Province, and now through the operation of the large corps, Zhou Zhengxiong is more aware of the power of muskets and cannons, and he can't wait to distribute weapons to the Beijing army and train them.

Looking at the "galloping" cultivator on the field, the tenants of Huangzhuang under the guidance of the steward, more and more skillful operation, Zhou Zhengxiong Longyan Dayue, immediately issued an order to reward everyone present, although only to reward some property, but to get the emperor's reward, which made everyone more excited in their hearts, and to do things more carefully and carefully.

Zhou Shaobin looked at his father's gorgeous locomotive royal chariot, his eyes were greedy, and said: "Father, do you think Brother Ling came back and let him start mass production of locomotives?" Erchen felt that the locomotive was also very helpful to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Beijing army. ”

Zhou Zhengxiong glanced at Zhou Shaobin, laughed in his heart, and said: "Bin'er, I'm afraid you want to have a locomotive, what are you talking about so high-sounding, I said, now is not the time, at least wait until our Beijing army has completed the redress, and with a certain amount of training, we can start mass production of locomotives, otherwise let some people know that we have such a powerful thing, which will cause unpredictable results." ”

"Uh...... Father, it's the son who is in a hurry, so let's stop this matter. Zhou Shaobin said embarrassedly, after Zhou Zhengxiong said this, he also figured it out, don't think about it for the time being.

"Well, don't worry, as Ling Aiqing often says, there will always be bread." Zhou Zhengxiong joked with a smile.

"Well, Father, before Brother Ling set out on the expedition, he once mentioned an artifact to his son, but I don't know how he designed it." Zhou Shaobin remembered the airship, so he mentioned it casually.

"Oh? What artifact? Let's hear it. Zhou Zhengxiong was interested, and now he was very interested in what Ling Yu said from time to time, and every time he was as excited as he wanted to discover a new continent.

"Well, Father, just listen to it, Brother Ling said that this thing is very difficult to design, and it can't be made in a while." Zhou Shaobin realized that he was speechless, and he told his emperor father without a word, if he couldn't get it out, wouldn't it make the emperor's father very disappointed.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll just listen to it." Zhou Zhengxiong smiled indifferently, he never felt that Ling Yu couldn't do anything, at least so far, he had not let him down.

"Okay, Brother Ling told Erchen before that there is something called an airship, which can carry soldiers into the sky, can ignore all terrain, and the flight speed is very fast, for example, flying from Jinling to Beiping, it only takes about four or five hours, and you can also carry a large grenade on the airship, and you can strike condescendingly when the time comes, so I said this is an artifact." Zhou Shaobin actually didn't know much about it, so he wrote it down.

Zhou Zhengxiong's eyes lit up, imagining that his army was sitting on the airship, flying to the head of Beiping City, and the large grenade fell on the enemy's head like rain, blowing them up crying and shouting for their mother, and then quickly broke through the city and captured the rebellion.

The more he thought about it, the stronger the smile on Zhou Zhengxiong's face, Zhou Shaobin, who saw it, was a little worried, and said in his heart: "Brother Ling, I didn't mean to, when my father asks, don't drop the chain." ”

"Bin'er, what you said is true? Ling Aiqing is really already designing such an artifact? After a while, Zhou Zhengxiong restrained his smile and asked.

"Well, Father, that's what Brother Ling said, but he said that it wasn't that easy, there were still many problems to solve, and he said a lot of other things I don't remember much, so I remember this, because I also want to fly to the sky to see." Zhou Shaobin scratched his head and said, this time I'm afraid I missed my mouth.

"I'm looking forward to Ling Aiqing's return to the dynasty now." Zhou Zhengxiong sighed, then turned to Yu Cheng and said: "Yu Cheng, Ling Aiqing's report before I agreed, hurry up with the cabinet for approval, and then send it to Ling Aiqing, let him quickly arrange the affairs of Shudi, and then return to Beijing." ”

"Yes, slave and maid." Yu Cheng bowed down and promised, he was naturally very fascinated by the airship that Zhou Shaobin said, and he was also full of confidence in Ling Yu, as long as Ling Yu said that he could make it, he would believe it.

Zhou Zhengxiong looked at it for a while, and after thinking that there was nothing worth seeing, he went back to the palace, Zhou Shaobin sent Zhou Zhengxiong away, a little guilty, and hurriedly wrote a letter, asking people to send it to Shu and hand it over to Ling Yu, first give him a wake-up call, and let him have a deal after returning to Beijing.
