The emergence of honeycomb coal has solved the biggest problem of Zhu Youxiao's commercial housing, and the commercial housing built by Zhu Youxiao has finally been sold, and the sales volume has begun to rise gradually. When Zhu Youxiao's commercial housing was sold out, Zhu Youxiao found that although the entire sales did not make money, he did not lose money.

Zhu Youxiao's policy of collecting health fees in Beijing was implemented very smoothly, although there were many voices of opposition from the people, but there were very few people who violently resisted the conscription, and with the cooperation of Shuntianfu and Jinyiwei, the voices of civil opposition were quickly suppressed.

Although there are also people who oppose it in the court, the number of people who oppose it this time is very small, first, the health fee collected by Zhu Youxiao this time is really low; Second, the court officials were afraid that the opposition would be too strong, and Zhu Youxiao would mention the matter of the new deal again; Third, most of the officials understood that in order to maintain the hygiene of the Beijing Division, it was not enough to rely on internal funds and the state treasury alone, and that this additional expenditure must have a source; Fourth, most of the officials in important positions in Beijing are over 50 or 60 years old, and they have a profound understanding of the improvement of public health in Beijing and have gained tangible benefits from it.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also hyped up the argument that the health fee was "taken from the people and used by the people" in the "Daming Imperial Daily", and this view was propagated a lot, and the number of people who accepted it began to increase.

……

In November, the fleet from Amsterdam to Daming had arrived in Lisbon. After receiving the Pope's envoy and Galileo in Lisbon, he came directly to Daming.

Wang Zheng also got out of the glass workshop, and now the glass workshop has been completely handed over to Sun Yunqiu, and he has officially become the director of the Imperial Instrument Bureau.

"Your Majesty, what kind of equipment should the Instrument Bureau focus on developing?" Wang Zheng asked.

"All-encompassing, practical first, but I have an idea that can be used as a direction for your development." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Please also ask Your Majesty for instructions." Wang Zheng said respectfully.

"Follow me to the imperial dining room, you will understand it when you look at it." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

Wang Zheng curiously followed Zhu Youxiao all the way to the imperial dining room, only to know that Zhu Youxiao originally asked him to boil water.

"See? When the water is boiled, steam is formed, and under the impetus of the steam, the lid of the kettle and the iron pressed on it can be pushed by the water vapor, and the force can be imagined. If I build a large kettle and boil the water inside, the power of the water vapor will be enough to move mountains and reclaim the sea. What do you think? Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Your Majesty's intentions are understood, and Your Majesty wants your Majesty to study how to channel this force for Your Majesty's use?" Wang Zheng thought for a while and said.

"Yes, more than 1,500 years ago, a Greek mathematician named Hiro invented a toy called an air ball, the principle of which is to use the power of steam to make the ball turn. The steam engine also uses the power of steam to propel. Zhu Youxiao said.

"The minister understands, the minister will definitely make the steam engine." Wang Zheng nodded and said.

"Remember, this is just one direction of the research of the Instrument Bureau, and I also need other practical equipment." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

"The funds of the Instruments Bureau will be allocated from the internal funds, there will be no restrictions, and you will arrange the personnel yourself. I just want results. Zhu Youxiao emphasized.

"No."

……

The development of physics, chemistry, mathematics and other disciplines led to the emergence of the final industrial steam engine more than 160 years later. But only more than fifty years later, the working model of the steam engine was made, and more than seventy years later, the early industrial steam engine appeared, Zhu Youxiao felt that he might not have had the opportunity to see the final version of the industrial steam engine, but he believed that under his promotion, the early industrial steam engine should be able to see.

Once the industrial steam engine first appeared in Daming, Zhu Youxiao believed that as long as the system was perfect, the final version of the steam engine would definitely appear in Daming.

And after Sun Yunqiu arrived at the glass workshop, his talent has been greatly exerted, everything used to rely on him alone, now he has a team to serve him, all the funds used to be able to rely on himself, and now the imperial family of the empire has become his biggest backing.

Through the influence of the royal family, Sun Yunqiu recruited a large number of talents from all over the country, including his former optics teachers Chen Tianqu and Bo Jue. Bo Jue was also an expert in machinery manufacturing in the late Ming Dynasty.

With the help of Bo Jue, Sun Yunqiu made a special topper for grinding lenses in November. Sun Yunqiu's time and space in this time and space is several years earlier than the original history, and its performance is also greatly better than the original historical car.

Now the most lively is the Tai Medical College, and the addition of Deng Yuhan has made the first time that the entire Tai Medical College has a dispute between Chinese and Western medicine. Zhou Jian even wrote in November asking Zhu Youxiao to expel Deng Yuhan from the Tai Medical College. However, this recital was not published by Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao thought that such a controversy was necessary. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, Zhu Youxiao is supportive, and Zhu Youxiao has personal experience.

Deng Yuhan was weak and fell behind from the beginning of the controversy, and the only person who did not squeeze out Deng Yuhan was Wu Youxing. Deng Yuhan couldn't even find anyone to attend his classes, and in order to support the development of Western medicine, Zhu Youxiao selected 20 students from the orphanage with excellent character and learning for him. Zhu Youxiao is even preparing to build a new Imperial Western Medical School in Beijing.

On December 25, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao experienced for the first time the life and death after he came to this world. Concubine Duan Chun had a difficult birth, and she didn't give birth for a day.

Zhu Youxiao is now as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, walking around the yard. He knew that relying on medicine in this era, under such circumstances, it was impossible to guarantee the safety of mother and child, and everything could only be resigned to fate. In ancient times, there was a caesarean section, but it was a method of "mother dies and child lives".

"Your Majesty, Wen Po just asked the concubine ......," Zhang Yan hurriedly walked over and said.

But before Zhang Yan's words were finished, she was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao, "Both must be saved." ”

"Your Majesty, the baby comes out first with its feet, and it will ......," Zhang Yan said softly. One corpse, two lives" all came to his mouth, and Zhang Yan didn't say it in the end.

"I'll take a look, and I'll send the imperial doctor into the palace immediately." Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhu Youxiao knew that there were historical records that someone completed the first case of a safe caesarean section for a mother and child more than a hundred years ago, and the reason why he was able to succeed was to gamble, and he can only gamble now. After all, he had been a father before the crossing, and he had also gone to the delivery room to accompany the delivery, so he knew a little about caesarean sections.

"The emperor can't, the delivery room is a filthy place......" Zhang Yan stopped.

"I am the honor of the ninety-five, and all evils retreat. I went in to give the pure concubine courage. Zhu Youxiao rushed in as he spoke.

"Your Majesty ......" Zhu Youxiao suddenly rushed in, which surprised the stable women.

"You're busy with yours." Zhu Youxiao turned his head to Concubine Duan Chun and said, "You must hold on, I have already let the imperial doctor enter the palace." ”

"Concubine ......," Duan Chunfei said extremely weakly.

"Don't speak, I understand." Zhu Youxiao said softly.

"Keep ...... Child. Duan Chunfei's voice was weak, but there was an unmistakable insistence in her tone.

Zhu Youxiao just nodded and did not speak.

The emperor summoned urgently, and the imperial doctor came quickly. As soon as the imperial physician arrived, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered the imperial physician to perform a caesarean section. But Duan Chunfei's body was too weak, and the caesarean section technique was too backward, so Duan Chunfei was not rescued in the end.

"You all go down, but you must remember that caesarean section has been successful in the hands of Westerners, and I hope you will succeed in the future." Zhu Youxiao said sadly.

"No." The crowd replied respectfully and softly. Even if Zhu Youxiao gave birth to another son, there was no joy in the whole palace.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Chun can give birth to the prince, she can be regarded as getting what she wants, and she has no regrets." Zhang Yan comforted.

"But Concubine Chun is only twenty-one years old, and she is exactly the ...... of the grade like a flower," Zhu Youxiao said sadly.

"The concubine heard the imperial doctor say that the pure concubine closed her eyes with a smile after hearing the news of the prince's safety, it can be seen that she has no regrets, the emperor does not need to blame herself, the concubine has nothing to do, the concubine's child, the concubine will be raised personally, and the concubine will be his mother in the future, and the concubine will never treat him badly." Zhang Yan said.

"I hope so." Zhu Youxiao said softly. Zhu Youxiao's arrival changed the fate of Concubine Duan Chun, making her end her life two years early, but leaving her own bloodline, Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether the butterfly effect caused by his arrival was right or wrong?

"Your Majesty, let the concubine come and hug him." Zhang Yan said softly.

Zhu Youxiao gently handed the child to Zhang Yan, and then walked out and ordered loudly: "Posthumously crown Concubine Chun as the imperial concubine and bury her in the Plains of Jinshan." This child was exchanged for his mother's life, so he is called Zhu Ciyan. ”

"Ci Yan......" Zhang Yan shouted softly.
