As soon as he heard this, not only Li Fangyuan was anxious, but Lamei Xuan, who was waiting on the side, was also anxious, stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, can you give the minister a favor?" ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible, but I have to give me a reason." I can approve it, but I can't discount the selling price. ”

When Li Fangyuan heard this, he was very happy and said busily, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the matter of silver is easy to discuss. ”

La Meixuan had a bad premonition in her heart, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't know how to sell this car?" ”

Of course, Zhu Di knew that his son set the price of 500,000 taels, and if he sold gasoline abroad, it would be ten taels of silver a liter, that is, one and a half catties.

That's an inch of gasoline and an inch of gold!

However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if he said the selling price of the car at this time, it would be too cheap, wouldn't this be a clear idea to tell others that he was beating other people's money?

Where is the bearing and majesty of a great power?

"This ......" Zhu Di pretended to be embarrassed, and Xia Yuanji came over in time, saluted the emperor, and seemed to have something important to report, Zhu Di was also busy, "Xia Aiqing, I specially approved two cars for North Korea and Siam ......"

Xia Yuanji hurriedly said in horror, "Your Majesty, this is ...... How does this work? The manufacturing cost of the car is very high, and with the power of my Ming Dynasty, how can I say that it will be given away in vain? ”

Zhu Di wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Xia Aiqing, you misunderstood, I just approved a car to go abroad, and the silver money that should be given, Siam and North Korea will not be less than one or two of my Daming, but if the selling price is not known, you can tell them." ”

Xia Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief, and in the eyes of the two lords, the two of them were also relieved, this villain minister finally didn't interfere with them.

"A car is 500,000 taels, I don't accept a counteroffer, I want to pay for the silver, and if I don't want it, it's just like my intentions." Xia Yuanji said expressionlessly.

Zhu Di secretly bared his teeth, although the counterfeiting of a car is not cheap, it will definitely not reach 500,000 taels, but this selling price is the price that Da Ming told Zhenla, so naturally there will be no room for change.

La Meixuan and Li Fangyuan gasped, they had expected how expensive the car was, but they didn't expect that it would reach the point of "being rich enough to rival the country".

Xia Yuanji didn't say much to the two, but asked Zhu Di to say, "Your Majesty, there are many people outside, please go back to the palace earlier." ”

This is the bridge of the rehearsal, because I am afraid that these foreign lords will surround Zhu Di to ask for all kinds of favors, if they don't give it, it is obviously not suitable, and Zhu Di is very face-saving, if he gives it, it will definitely damage the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Saihazhi also came, and surrounded by Jinyiwei, Zhu Di was ready to return to the palace.

The Xu family was stopped by the Queen of Siam to speak, and they still had a difficult conversation with the help of an interpreter despite the language barrier.

Fortunately, Zhu Di arranged for someone to invite, Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Rama with a smile, "Queen Rama, the palace is going back, if you are free, come to the palace to talk to the palace." ”

"Yes!" Rama curtsied and saluted Xu, watching her gradually walk away and walk to Zhu Di's side, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is burly, with an elegant face, and a fascinating temperament, he is Rama's ideal man.

La Meixuan felt that it was too difficult to take out 500,000 taels of silver and buy a car, but his mind kept replaying those cool cars, and he built a circular track in his mind, those cars were running back and forth, and the front of the car, the enlarged eagle logo, flashed with dazzling light.

Li Yu walked over and stood behind his father.

Li Fangyuan was very dissatisfied with this son, he had been in Daming for so long, he had achieved nothing, and he had not even received an additional summons from Emperor Daming.

Li Yu was very aggrieved, he was so difficult in Daming, and his father did not provide any support.

What neither father nor son knew was that Daming's policy towards these neighboring countries had undergone earth-shaking changes, and in Daming's eyes, they were nothing more than dust on the ground and ants on the side of the road.

"Isn't Daming's car sold?" Li Fangyuan asked.

Li Yu knew that his father would definitely be tempted by cars, and he told his father the news he had inquired about, "Daming's cars are in short supply, and many businessmen in Daming have ordered cars, according to the different configurations, there are 200,000 taels, 150,000 taels, and 100,000 taels." Although it has a price, in fact, the imperial court is very strict with the qualifications of buyers, and until now, only a few have got the car. ”

However, they were sold 500,000 taels.

It's just that Li Fangyuan is not good to ask here.

Under the protection of the Ming brocade guards, the Ministry of Rites sent these ministers to their respective hotels, but the streets were still full of people, since the curfew was lifted, the people of the Ming Dynasty were accustomed to spending the night under the street lamps.

There are all kinds of stalls on the roadside, selling barbecue, selling finger cakes, selling spicy hot, selling drinks, there are many varieties, attracting a large number of customers, the fragrance of food permeates the street, under the night sky, few people passing by are not attracted.

After being sent back to the hotel, Li Fangyuan, who sneaked out again, was stunned by the bustling scene on the street, and the government set aside a street as a night market, and the street lamps on both sides were different from other places, the lampposts were higher, and the lights were brighter, illuminating this area as if it were daytime.

Li Yu accompanied his father to walk around the streets, feeling the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Fangyuan was surprised to find that the Ming people used to provide the source of fire was not charcoal.

Li Yu told his father in a low voice, "Daming's high-tech has changed all aspects of the common people, and they burn something called coal, which is taken directly from the ground, and I heard that the cost is very low." “

"Do I have North Korea?"

Li Yu couldn't answer, he thought for a while and said, "Da Ming has the means to detect underground resources, and his son thinks that his father can ask Da Ming for help." ”

Li Fangyuan was very unhappy, was Daming so willing to help? The current Da Ming is like a bloodsucking worm, they will not let go of anyone they catch.

"A car in Daming sells for 500,000 taels, if I ask them for it, I don't know what kind of request they will make?" Li Fangyuan tested his son's tone.

Li Yu heard it, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, his father was already suspicious of him to this extent? Is it because he has been in Daming for too long?

"Father, we bought Daming's car, it was definitely not for riding, naturally there were other uses, Daming should have thought of this layer, so he would raise the price so high. Erchen thought that if we could achieve our goal, 500,000 taels would not be a price that could not be paid. ”

Li Fangyuan was silent.

The next day, Zhu Gaoxian accompanied his parents to the site of the World Exposition, they entered through a special passage, stood on the railing on the second floor and looked down, only to see that the various booths were crowded, and the entire venue was crowded.

Xu was simply stunned, "What...... So many people? ”

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "Mother, the tickets here cost ten cents a ticket, and there are a lot of people in Beijing who can afford tickets, as well as those merchants who come from abroad, can there be not many people?" ”

"That's too much!" Xu looked at Zhu Di in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, do we still want to go down to watch?" ”

Zhu Di smiled, "Just stand here and watch for a while, if this goes down, the alarm will be too great." It's good that everyone paid ten dollars to buy a ticket to come in! ”

Xu and Zhu Gaoxian both laughed, and it was rare for the emperor to have a humorous time.

A family of three walked around the cloister on the second floor and turned to the top of the car booth.

On the booth, which was arranged beyond the sense of the times, a huge eagle logo with a metallic texture was used as the background, and two black and white cars, one left and one right, were placed on it, surrounded by many people.

La Meixuan and others were also among them, looking at the two cars with envy.

The students of Daming Imperial College are introducing, "This car is a new model we launched this year, specially designed to meet the luxury version of the expo, the body is designed into a drop shape beyond the sense of the times, while having a perfect shape, it also makes this car effectively reduce wind resistance during the driving process......

Wind resistance or something, La Meixuan and others can't understand it, but obviously, the appearance of the car on the booth today is different from the car that performed on the stage last night.

This means that Daming's strength in the automotive field is beyond their reach.

La Meixuan, who doesn't know much about cars, feels anxious, Daming is no longer something they can easily catch up with, even if Daming is stagnant now, given them a hundred years, they may not be able to catch up.

Zhu Di, who also felt the strength of the Ming Imperial Academy, also cared about education, "You set up another school in the south, and you yourself will be the principal, and the Ming Imperial Academy will be completely handed over to Fang Xiaoru, will it work?" ”

"Fang Xiaoru is very pedantic and conservative, which is a good thing at this stage. But many of the rules set up by his son, he actually don't understand it, and he doesn't understand the benefits, but he can implement it without discounting, and his son wants to use his shortcomings. Zhu Gaoxian said.

"In the south, my son plans to name it Southern University of Technology, and in the future, I will ask my father to issue a holy decree to show the name of the school and this matter to the world, and it will also be convenient for my son to enroll students."

This is not a matter for Zhu Di.

The dog came up from behind quietly, stood aside and waited for a while, and when the emperor and the four princes finished speaking, he stepped forward under the gaze of the three of them, and said respectfully, "Fourth Highness, Arutai is still very stubborn, Erebak Khan has already succumbed, saying that he wants to see His Highness and have a good talk with His Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxian sneered, "It's just a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with this king?" ”
