After the canonization of the crown prince, the reward of the ministers, and the arrangement of defense, after these things were completed, Zhu Cijiong's whole person was relaxed, and he could finally calm down and enjoy the life of being an emperor.

Of course, enjoying life does not mean ignoring state affairs, he still has to consider many things, but the time is not so urgent, and everything can be taken slowly.

In the nineteenth year of Chongzheng, his main energy was spent on the harem.

Uh, well, in fact, he is mainly resting, and he is educating his children by the way, for example, teaching the crown prince Zhu and the way to govern the country.

After twenty years of Chongzheng and a year's rest, Zhu Cijiong began to pay attention to the development of the North American colonies.

First of all, he ordered Lu Xiangsheng to negotiate with the Indian tribes to divide the area, and divide the territory of the Indian tribes, the colonies directly under the Ming Dynasty, and the fiefs of various titles.

Then, he ordered the military department to speed up the conscription, organize the remaining hundreds of thousands of garrisons as soon as possible, and send them to North America to complete the garrison of the entire colony;

Then, he ordered to recruit immigrants from the Ming Dynasty and various vassal states, move to the North American continent, and fully develop there;

Finally, he joined forces with Spain and Portugal to dig the Panama Canal, connecting the waters of the Pacific Ocean with the waters of the Atlantic, making it easier to communicate between the East and the West.

In the twenty-first year of Chongzheng, he ordered the military department to start counting the household registration of the regular corps and the tunwei, and began to adjust the tunwei.

Among them, the families of the soldiers of the Qin Army, the First Army of the Frontier Army, the Second Army of the Border Army, the Third Army of the Border Army, the Fourth Army of the Border Army, the Dongjiang Army and the Dingliao Army all moved to the Siberian Plain;

The families of the officers and men of the Ning, Liaodong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan Reserve Corps were also relocated to the Siberian Plateau as much as possible;

In addition, the families of the officers and soldiers of the First Army of the Expeditionary Force, the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force, the Jiangnan Reserve Army, the Guangnan Reserve Army and the Yunnan Reserve Army moved to various provinces in South Asia as much as possible;

There are also families of soldiers of the Tianxiong Army and the Loyal Warriors who moved to the North American colonies as much as possible;

In addition, the families of the officers and soldiers of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard and the Second Legion of the Praetorian Guard moved to the provinces near the capital as much as possible.

He did this mainly to facilitate the officers and men of these legions to take turns to go home to visit their relatives, after all, these legions will basically be stationed in these places in the future, and if they can't see their families for a few years or even more than ten years, it is strange that they can be stationed with peace of mind.

In the twenty-second year of Chongzheng, he began to recall various technologies and products of later generations, and personally compiled a book of "The Road to the Development of Science and Technology", which served as the guide for the future development of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, there are airplanes, mobile phones, televisions, computers, washing machines, rice cookers, etc., as long as he can think of it, it is all written in.

Of course, he is not omnipotent, he can't understand the principles of these things, he can only write out what he understands, and if he doesn't understand, he will describe the function, role and other things, in short, just to point out the direction and let people avoid detours.

In the twenty-third year of Chongzheng, he organized the establishment of the Daming Academy of Sciences, with Zhu Guogong Xu Guangqi as the honorary president, Ji Guogong, the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, and Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, as the president.

Daming began to gather elites in various fields, discuss various new things described in the "Road to Scientific and Technological Development", establish projects, designate responsible persons, and begin research.

Zhu Cijiong believes that they can all be made in the end, because these are all successful things in later generations, but this time, I don't know if it will take decades or hundreds of years.

In the twenty-fourth year of Chongzheng, under his full promotion, the first generation of automobile engine was developed.

This engine uses gasoline instead of steam to drive multiple pistons to provide power output, and the power is more powerful;

This engine significantly reduces the weight of the power plant, while also significantly reducing the volume of the power plant;

This engine greatly reduces the manufacturing cost and operation difficulty of the car, making it possible for the car to enter thousands of households.

In the same year, the first light car came out, although this car only weighed about 500 pounds, could only carry two or three people, and the speed was only about 30 kilometers per hour, far from being comparable with the cars of later generations.

However, after all, the physical object has already been made, and it is much easier to develop on this basis.

In the twenty-fifth year of Chongzheng, Wang Zheng led the completion of the development of a new type of steam turbine, which was more powerful and faster than the steam engine, which doubled the speed of the ship and doubled the economic strength and military strength of the Ming Dynasty.

In the twenty-sixth year of Chongzheng, Xu Fuyuan presided over the development of the wired telephone project, and the Ming Dynasty has since entered the era of instant calls, and the transmission of various information has become more convenient and fast, which has made the economic strength and military strength of the Ming Dynasty skyrocket again, leaving the countries of the world far behind.

In the 27th year of Chongzheng, the first Global Calligraphy and Painting Competition was held in the capital of Daming, calligraphers and painters from all over the world actively participated, Chinese characters and ink landscape painting once again set off a boom in the world, and Chinese became the second language of most countries in the world.

In the twenty-eighth year of Chongzheng, the sixteen-year-old prince Zhu Hetou succeeded to the throne and changed the yuan to peace.

Peaceful, taking the meaning of peace and tranquility, Zhu Cijiong hopes that his son can follow the rules, step on the footprints he has left, continue to develop, and make the Ming Empire richer and stronger.

This year, Zhu Cijiong was only in his thirties, and the reason why he passed the throne to his son so early was not because he was tired, nor because he was tired, he mainly wanted to see if Daming could continue to develop steadily without him.

If it doesn't work, he can adjust accordingly.

After Zhu Hetou succeeded to the throne, he only continued to observe in the capital for a year, and then, he took the queen mother of the two palaces, the queen, the imperial concubine, all the concubines and children, as well as the family of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and all the remaining royal relatives of the Ming Dynasty, rushed to Dongsheng Shenzhou together.

After arriving in Dongsheng Shenzhou, he began another separation, but this time, it was a division of the royal family.

The remaining royal titles remained unchanged, but their territories were doubled, and most of them were concentrated in the southwest corner of the Abbot's City, which was later near Perth.

And the king of letters, Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Cijiong directly gave him a large piece of land near Melbourne in Yingzhou City, which was later generations, and asked him to retire there.

As for himself, he took the queen mother, the queen, the imperial concubine, all the concubines and children to live in Penglai City, that is, near Sydney in later generations.

......

In the sixth year of peace in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong's 40th birthday, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's family, Xinwang Zhu Youzhen's family, and Bi Maokang and other ministers came to celebrate, and even the peaceful emperor Zhu Hetou came in person, and for a while, the entire Penglai City Palace was simply overcrowded.

After the luncheon, Zhu Heyi accompanied the Empress Dowager Qin Mingyue to eat and take a walk, while Zhu Cijiong took a group of ministers to the front hall square.

There is a parking on the square the latest Mingwei 125 off-road vehicle produced by the Ming Royal Automobile Industry Group, which was specially transported by the Emperor Zhu Hetou in order to celebrate his birthday.

This car, how to say it, the tires and chassis part are well designed, and the off-road vehicles of later generations are almost the same, only the shell on the top is really a bit ugly, boxy, like a coffin board.

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but say to the Marquis of Sucheng, who was in charge of the car project: "Liangfu, why isn't this shell made streamlined?" “

When Wang Zheng heard this, he thought about it, and then asked embarrassedly: "This, Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being stupid, what is streamlined?" “

These old ministers couldn't change their mouths for a while, seeing that he was called by the emperor, he was used to it, as for this streamline, it was really hard to explain, he thought about it, and said to Cao Huachun behind him: "Father-in-law Cao, go get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." “

Cao Huachun left in response, Zhu Cijiong was not idle, he directly said to Ji Guogong Bi Maokang: "Meng Hou, do you remember the plane I asked you to ponder?" “

When Bi Maokang heard this, he said embarrassedly: "This, the emperor, Weichen hasn't figured it out yet." “

Zhu Cijiong shook his head with a smile, and said to Teng Guogong Sun Yuanhua: "Chuyang, do you remember the rocket I asked you to ponder?" “

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he was also embarrassed and said: "This, the emperor, Weichen hasn't figured it out yet." “

At this time, Cao Huachun had already taken the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zhu Cijiong directly took out a piece of white paper and spread it on the flat hood, then lifted the brush and drew it according to the shell of his favorite luxury car in later generations.

He explained while drawing: "This streamlined shape is the shape with a certain arc, like the shape of airplanes and rockets are streamlined, and the car shell should also be streamlined." “

Wang Zheng on the side couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, how to process this streamlined type, is it processed by hand with a hammer?" “

Zhu Cijiong shook his head while painting and said: "No, with a punch, the punch can not only break the iron plate, but also punch out various shapes, as long as the mold does not have a sharp edge." “

When Wang Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help nodding his head again and again, praising the emperor's wisdom.

Bi Maokang, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, why should the shape of the plane be streamlined?" “

Zhu Cijiong explained as he painted: "This streamlined shape is to reduce the resistance of the wind. “

Sun Yuanhua, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is there still resistance to the wind?" “
