"I ask you now! Is it true that what is written on the fold? Zhu Youxiao stared at Liu Ziguang's eyes and asked.

The little emperor's emotions were a little excited, and they all said that the power of heaven is unpredictable, could it be that the young emperor has begun to learn the way of being a king?

What a big deal, isn't it just killing an old woman, if it's like a pretext, it's not bad, since the emperor asked so, it proves that he believes in the fold, Liu Ziguang replied with a heart: "This old woman did die at the hands of the minister, and everything she said on the fold is true." ”

"Well killed!" Zhu Youxiao shouted as soon as he patted the dragon book case

"Yesterday's incident, I heard from the imperial sister, the inferior Diao people actually dared to bully the eldest princess and not kill her, why did the royal prestige want me to say that Aiqing is still too merciful, such a heinous crime, at least sentence her to death." Liu Ziguang said in his heart, Your Majesty, you are so ruthless, but he said in his mouth: "The emperor is wise." ”

"Guo Yushi reversed black and white, and Yue Yan looked at him on behalf of Ku Zhen, but he was Ying Tianfu's Xu Mansion Yin, a person who understood, and I felt that his Mansion Yin did a good job." Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, The sixteen-year-old boy is very proud of his ability to distinguish, and it can be seen from a recital that the ability of the two officials is high, and I am afraid that few young sons of heaven can do this.

"Go back, I will say hello to Xiao Weizi and ask him to draw up a decree, what does Guo Zheng's official Aiqing think?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"This doesn't seem appropriate, Guo Yushi is young and vigorous, and it is understandable that he wants to win the throne, not to mention that Yushi is doing something that offends people, if he is dismissed because he has participated in His Majesty's favored ministers, then which official of the Imperial Procuratorate will dare to do errands for the emperor in the future?" Liu Ziguang said in his heart, it doesn't matter if you remove Guo Zheng, I'm afraid that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be able to get along with me in the future, the emperor's intentions are good, but it is purely a disservice.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, forget it, no matter about this Guo Zheng, I recently made a new thing, Aiqing will take a look." In fact, this is the main purpose of Zhu Youxiao's recruitment of Liu Ziguang, he built a four-wheeled light car according to the internal combustion engine drawings provided by the iron factory, the workmanship and materials are very exquisite, the motivation is pure hand-made, tightly combined, well operated, the car body is made of steel frame, the carriage is made of mahogany boards, the tenon is carved, the dragon is depicted, the phoenix is brushed with varnish, the corners are wrapped in shiny brass, the car is open-topped, the back of the canopy can be folded, the canopy is made of bamboo bones of Jiangnan oil umbrellas and silk cloth brushed with oil, it looks like there is a strange beauty mixed with classical beauty and mechanical beauty.

"Not bad, right? I will sit on this thing when I go out of the palace to play in the future, Aiqing, you sit on it, and I will carry you around. Zhu Youxiao stroked his big toy, his face was full of excitement, Xiao Weizi didn't understand these high-tech Qian Qianyi was even more interested in this set, and the only person who could share the fun of high-tech with him was Liu Ziguang.

"What a clever work!" Liu Ziguang was overjoyed, he was different from these ancient people who liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as a modern person, machinery and technology could attract his interest more, and seeing the cars of the Middle Ages made Liu Ziguang sincerely excited, and there was no element of fraud at all.

"I criticize and research, and I have very little time to sleep every day..."Zhu Youxiao nagged while beckoning Liu Ziguang to get into the car, he took out the crank handle, moved the car, and then jumped into the cab and drove this primitive car in front of the Qianqing Palace.

After showing off for a while, Zhu Youxiao taught Liu Ziguang to drive a car and had a lot of fun, and drove until lunchtime, and there were several failures in the middle of the motive, Zhu Youxiao personally opened the lid to repair it, Liu Ziguang handed over a tool or something on the side, and both of them got a face full of oil.

"Aiqing, let's dine with me at noon, by the way, talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this wind and fire four-wheeled vehicle, don't just be a sycophant, I know your level." Zhu Youxiao jumped out of the car, took the hand towel offered by the eunuch, wiped his face, and invited Liu Ziguang to lunch.

Eating with the emperor is a great grace, but for Liu Ziguang it is common, he has at least ten days a month to have lunch with the emperor, and the lunch time is also the time for the two monarchs and ministers to discuss science and technology and government affairs, Liu Ziguang praised first

Several groundbreaking advantages of the "Wind and Fire Quadrangle" include the use of four wheels, a clear steering wheel, and an ingenious folding canopy; Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's heart was overjoyed, and then he put forward some improvement plans: installing tram lights, air horns, and using pneumatic tires with better shock absorption performance.

"Aiqing is really a master! I didn't think of that. Zhu Youxiao patted his thigh happily and turned his head to the little eunuch who was waiting on the side and said, "Have you written it down?" "The little eunuch is specially following the emperor to record his whimsical ideas that pop up at any time, and now he is holding a small notebook and writing hard, and he is still writing with his wrist, it seems that he is a eunuch who has been systematically trained.

"The emperor is a minister, thinking that this wind and fire four-wheeled vehicle has a great future in military affairs, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Western Xia are good at cavalry, and the Sichuan horses and Yunnan horses used by the cavalry of our dynasty are difficult to compete with, and the horses in the northwest and north are in the hands of the enemy, so these years are mainly defensive, with this wind and fire four-wheeled vehicle, it is different, the enemy horse is fast, our car is faster, and there is no need to eat forage, no pestilence, plus the high-altitude reconnaissance of the airship, it is not difficult to gather and annihilate those nomadic cavalry." Liu Ziguang talked eloquently, and Zhu Youxiao's attention was drawn from the car to the war.

"Yes, I also thought of this, but now the internal combustion engine technology is not mature, and the failure is difficult to avoid, if it breaks down on the battlefield, it will be miserable, and the wild terrain is not as good as the bluestone ground of the palace, the wilderness is a small river and hills, and if it rains a little, it becomes a swamp four-wheeled vehicle, but it is not as good as a war horse." Zhu Youxiao shook his head regretfully.

"But this is the trend of history, sooner or later, all the cavalry will be replaced by four-wheeled vehicles, can not adapt to complex terrain, we can install tracks, the internal combustion engine technology is not mature, we can use the steam engine."

"Steam engine...."Zhu Youxiao put down his chopsticks, his eyes narrowed, and he looked thoughtfully at a huge dish on the table, which was a turkey offered by Luzon.

"The steam engine is too heavy, and the rails will be laid wherever the battle goes, and the cost of building bridges in the mountains and rivers is too great."

"These railroad tracks are not only for the service of war, but also for the wealth left to future generations, with the railway in all directions, the transportation of food and the army is not a problem, although the steam engine is big, but it has great benefits, the technology is mature, and the load is also large, not to mention the loading of all kinds of sharp weapons, that is, it is to grind the Tartar cavalry to death, the problem of cost is also easy to do, our Ming Dynasty is not without money, but the money is blackened by corrupt officials, as long as you take salt, iron, weaving, and knife cutting, why worry about not having a lot of silver, the court has connived at these corrupt officials for so many years, and now it should be the general account." After going around and around, Liu Ziguang finally turned the topic around to his purpose.

"Silver... The Qian Pavilion Department also said that it is necessary to start from these aspects to increase the taxes of the imperial court, whether you let it go, as long as it can enhance the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, what can you do. "Zhu Youxiao discussed some scientific and technological issues, and when it came to the government, he suddenly lost interest.

"That's it, Aiqing investigates those corrupt officials, the Qian Pavilion Department is mainly responsible for changing the law, you go back and give you Shang Fang the sword first, check the Jiangnan weaving nearby, the silk offered by the weaving mansion has been getting worse and worse recently, I really don't know what they are doing to eat." Waiting for this sentence, Liu Ziguang hurriedly patted his chest and promised to help the emperor get silver, and then the two of them discussed some scientific and technological matters, planning to be led by the Ministry of Industry to organize craftsmen across the country to build an academy of sciences to unify various industrial standards, technical terms, and operation specifications.

"The president of this academy is none other than His Majesty." Liu Ziguang's last fart made Zhu Youxiao very comfortable, happily ended lunch, found a sword and gave it to Liu Ziguang, and then Liu Ziguang said goodbye to the little emperor and continued to play with the wind and fire four-wheeler.

After Liu Ziguang returned to the Yamen of Nanchang, he immediately summoned Sun Gang and said: " Check the file of Guo Zheng who patrols the city, I want to know in detail who the family background is, what are the political achievements, what are the enemies, what relatives and friends, what are the family members, what do they usually do, I want to know everything, I want him to have nothing to hide in front of me, I want a completely transparent Guo Zheng. "Sun Gang is very good at intelligence work, it seems that he has a talent for self-education, under his training, a group of poor coachmen in the past, the market splashers, poor coachmen, have now become qualified intelligence officers, listen to the news, track and stalk, spread rumors, monitor and control, assassination and extermination, it is commonplace, if Mrs. Xu's affairs are handed over to him to do, at least the body will not be left on the street.

Sun Gang ordered him to go to the Funan factory of the old East Factory, and the database was very complete, and the details of officials at all levels were recorded.

Although Guo Zheng's file is only one page, there is a lot of useful information, coupled with the spying by the spies sent by Sun Gang, a comprehensive and specific file of Guo Yushi was placed on Liu Ziguang's public case early the next morning.

Liu Ziguang finished reading the information at a glance, closed the case file with a snap, and said to Sun Gang who was waiting on the side: "I didn't expect that Lord Yushi, who looks righteous on the surface, turned out to be such a person, it's really yellow and violent." "I don't know what it's called, though

"Very yellow" But the word violence can still be understood, Sun Gang nodded solemnly and agreed: "Yes, my lord, Guo Yushi is really yellow and violent." ”
