Chapter 250: Flying Heaven
Immortals have the troubles of immortals, and mortals have mortal happiness.
If you compare Zhu Youxiao, that is, the emperor also has joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and a lot of worries.
This has nothing to do with material comforts, and it is perfectly normal. Everyone is not constantly solving the troubles of life, and the emperor is of course also a human being.
Fortunately, there was a gentle and docile woman with him, who softly dissipated his sorrow and anger, so that he could return to his normal state of mind and continue to take on his responsibilities.
It would be great if I had an all-rounder like "Wang Meng", I would take care of the government in an orderly manner, the sea and the river feast, the world was peaceful, and I could only enjoy myself with peace of mind.
Zhu Youxiao has thought about this more than once, but in the end it is still extravagant. No way, if you have a wide range of knowledge and far-reaching vision, who can be better than him?
Even if he can rest assured a little, he can see that Daming has accumulated many disadvantages, and has the courage to promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages. Until now, I haven't found it.
Zhu Youxiao was both emotional and helpless, took the tea offered by Fan Xiaohui, and drank it slowly. In a blink of an eye, she saw that Fan Xiaohui was no longer nervous, and she thought that most of her anger had disappeared, and she was also relaxed.
"Xiaohui, on Halloween, what gift do you offer to congratulate me?" Zhu Youxiao stared at the girl with joy and sorrow on her face with a smile.
Fan Xiaohui smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, there are no precious things for slaves and maids, even the female red can barely see it." In the past few days, I am thinking of embroidering a silk handkerchief for the emperor to express my congratulations. ”
Zhu Youxiao's heart was warm, but he deliberately ridiculed: "Everyone in the palace pays salaries, how much money you have saved, it is better to take it out to congratulate me." ”
Fan Xiaohui blinked her eyes wide, and the reluctant look on her face flashed, knowing that this was the emperor teasing her. The little silver she saved, how could the emperor see it.
Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and beckoned, called the girl who was pursing her lips and smiling to her side, and hugged her hard? whispered in the girl's ear: "I'm waiting to receive your embroidered silk handkerchief?" It would be a great gift. ”
Fan Xiaohui's ears are itchy, and her body is a little soft? Subconsciously "um".
…………………….
The news of the flying experiment has already spread in the capital? Damingmen Square is also specially open to the common people.
Although I don't know why the emperor set the rule of seven days off, the rest day has become more lively in the capital? The days when there are more people and the business of the store is better.
Early? And people came from far and wide. Does anyone know that although it is open to the people? But the place is so big, there must be limits.
In the Ming Dynasty, between Daming Gate and Zhengyang Gate was a downtown street, commonly known as "Qipan Street". As the boundary between the imperial city and the city? Is there a dismounted monument outside the Daming Gate? At this point, the civil official dismounts the sedan chair and the military attache dismounts, and inside the door is the royal road.
Watching the excitement, I think it came early, but those who do small business came earlier, and they opened their voices to sell when they occupied a good position.
The restaurants, tea shops and other places that are closer to Daming Gate have all been predetermined. These are all people with status and wealth? Even if you can't get close and see it really, you don't care about the people of peace squeezing together.
"Thirsty for water? thirsty water, chilled thirsty water. "Liaodong girl's voice is clear? Hospitality is warm, in the autumn tiger is still in full swing? Business is really good.
"Two bowls of thirsty water." A middle-aged scholar wiping sweat? Throwing copper coins into a big bowl? Then he turned his head to look at the behemoth in the square.
Another young scholar followed, still complaining: "If you come early, maybe you can enter the circle and look up to the holy face." ”
The middle-aged scholar didn't care, and said: "Where is it close, and the etiquette is also exquisite, how can you see it casually here?" ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged scholar took a big sip of thirsty water, a cold feeling permeated his body, and he exhaled a long breath comfortably.
The young scholar shrugged his shoulders helplessly and reached out to pick up the thirsty water that had been handed over.
The forbidden army has fenced off a large open space, and only the personnel in charge of experimental operations of the Academy of Sciences have been allowed to enter, and all the idlers and others have been stopped outside.
Xu Fuyuan, Wang Jizhong and others were busy, not feeling hard, but very excited.
Flying to the sky, that is what only immortals can do. But today, they are going to show the world "miracles." Of course, the world includes the emperor, and this can be left in history, how can you not be excited?
The barbed wire is the skeleton, the tarpaulin is the skin, and the hot air balloon is very large, and it is also very cumbersome and ugly, and it cannot be compared with the later generations.
However, when heated with oil, the carrying capacity reached 300 catties, which could rise twenty or thirty meters, which was already an extremely remarkable manufacture at that time.
"Check carefully, but don't make mistakes." Xu Fuyuan glanced at Damingmen and said, "So many people are watching, maybe Banzai will come, it's too embarrassing to fail." ”
Wang Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Long live will definitely come, otherwise it will be put here for experiments." ”
After a pause, Wang Jizhong said again: "Brother Xu, don't be nervous, we have tried many times, and there will be no problem." ”
Xu Fuyuan nodded, but he was still not at ease, and went to check the wooden stakes nailed to the ground, as well as the ropes attached to the wooden stakes and hot air balloons.
Today's hot air balloons can only float in the air, but they don't have the power to fly and steer. However, such a device is already under development.
Zhang Yitai leaned over and said with a smile: "The propeller painted by Brother Shen is being built by craftsmen, but unfortunately it can't catch up with this demonstration." ”
"It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Shen." Xu Fuyuan sighed, looking up at the hot air balloon expanding under the heating of the whirring oil stove, and the bulging skin gradually filled the space of the wire cage.
Zhang Yitai was about to speak, when he heard a commotion, and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
"Hooray." Xu Fuyuan's voice trembled with excitement, and his eyes turned to Damingmen.
The guards gathered around a bright yellow figure and appeared in the Daming Gate. First, the forbidden army knelt down on one knee and shouted long live; Then to all those present, the sound of hooray sounded like thunder.
Zhu Youxiao enjoyed this feeling of being in the spotlight and dominating the world, and ordered people to pass on the message, and the people present were exempted from courtesy, but they could look up and look at it, and they were not guilty.
Xu Fuyuan and the others were preparing more and more nervously, the lift of the hot air balloon was getting more and more sufficient, the ropes were tight, and the hanging basket with sandbags was also dangling to get up from the ground.
It's time to take off, it's time to go to the sky!
Zhu Youxiao pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, full of confidence in the demonstration, and there was no surprise at all.
But the people next to the emperor, as well as the officials and people present, all stared intently. I couldn't help but let out an exclamation as I watched the strange round and big thing slowly rise.
"Where's someone in there?!" Fan Xiaohui's eyes widened, and she couldn't help muttering, Li Chengcheng nodded again and again, his face full of shock.
The emperor smiled and said in his heart: Where did no one get the shock? I also want to put a hot air balloon in the palace and take you to fly with me!
