Chapter 318 is willing to gamble and lose

But unfortunately, the first generation of generators did not work out, went wrong at the presentation stage and almost exploded.

Eventually, the machine burned down and became a blackened lump of iron.

Liu Zhi was a little disappointed, but he was also mentally prepared for this, and the steam engine was developed for many years before it succeeded.

Although there is a certain foundation now, after all, the generator is more refined and technically high-end than the steam engine, and there is still a long way to go before it can be successful.

In Europe, it took more than 200 years to systematically study the emergence of electromagnetic phenomena in 1600, when the British scientist William Gilbert began to study the emergence of electromagnetic phenomena.

After the efforts of generations of scientists, in 1832, the Frenchman Bixie invented the world's first hand-cranked generator.

But the real practical generator was Tesla's invention of the two-phase alternator in 1896, which began official operation at the Nyala power plant.

After three hundred years of exploration and development, it is naturally not so easy for him to reach the sky in one step.

However, although the first generation of generators failed, at least the expression of "electricity" has been seen with the naked eye.

This alone excites everyone involved in R&D.

Once upon a time, "electricity" existed only in the thunderous power of nature, and legend has it that it was used by the Emperor of Heaven to purge the discipline of the Three Realms.

Now it has been truly created by them, from ancient mythology to reality at once, how can it not be subverted.

These ideas are in great conflict with traditional thinking, where Confucianism reveres the gods and believes that the divine authority of kings emphasizes the unity of heaven and man.

The deification of imperial power is precisely to improve the status of imperial power in the minds of the people.

This kind of thinking naturally had its positive significance in the Eastern Han Dynasty, after all, the monarchy status of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not very high.

Compared with later generations, the authority of the emperor at this time was indeed too low, and Confucianism also conformed to the development of the times and created the doctrine of divine authority of the monarch.

Originally, this kind of thinking was also to cater to the needs of the feudal emperor, and the two sides could be said to hit it off.

But now it is very unfortunate to meet Liu Zhi, the emperor who does not play cards according to common sense, and personally smashes the authority of various gods in people's hearts.

However, these scientific researchers are basically from the bottom and have never received systematic Confucianism.

Therefore, they were able to calmly accept all kinds of grotesque ideas instilled by Liu Zhi, and they were not as resistant as the scholar class.

The various inventions introduced by Liu Zhi before, whether it was gunpowder, cement, or steam engine, although extremely exquisite, still did not depart from the realm of ordinary ideas in principle.

But the generator can directly change people's three views, thus doubting the authority of the gods.

Therefore, Liu Zhi's research and invention was not publicized in advance.

The Emperor has always been fond of tinkering with strange things, many of which have changed the lives of the common people.

The courtiers had long been accustomed to this, and as for what His Majesty was doing, since he didn't say it himself, they didn't bother to ask.

Anyway, I can't figure it out if I ask.

Of course, this is also Liu Zhi's intention, if he says it in advance, it is likely to be opposed, thinking that it will hurt Tianhe.

When he succeeds in his experiment, and the facts are in front of them, they will have nothing to say.

Meng Jian and Liu Zhi had very different attitudes towards the first generation of generators, and he did not think that it had failed, but that it had been a great success.

The reason why there is such a huge cognitive error between the two is naturally because of different insights and completely different starting points.

Seeing all kinds of high-tech civilizations in later generations, Liu Zhi, who did not have a high level of education, was naturally deeply frustrated.

I just hate myself for not being a top student in science and engineering, so these simple technology products are completely trivial.

Instead of working hard like now, he was greeted with one failure after another.

He thought that he had a good understanding of the various structures of the generator, but in actual operation, he found that he did not know enough.

A lot of things look like this, but when you make them, you find out that it's completely plausible.

However, in the development of the second generation of products, he can no longer help much, in order to avoid himself from blindly commanding in it, he controls the hands and feet of Meng Tian and others.

Liu Zhi simply let go, delegated all his power, and he still became his hand-shaking emperor leisurely.

This summer, he was already tired of several forest gardens on the outskirts of Luoyang, and decided to go to the old capital of Chang'an to escape the summer.

Chang'an was the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, which was destroyed in the war during the Xinmang period, but there are still several palaces remaining, and it has become the emperor's palace.

Later generations may have a much deeper impression of Chang'an than Luoyang, after all, the most powerful and magnificent period of the Han Dynasty was in the Western Han Dynasty.

The scale of Chang'an Palace is also much higher than that of Luoyang, coupled with the prosperous Tang Dynasty in later generations, it has laid the grandeur of the ancient capital of Chang'an.

Liu Zhi has been the emperor for eighteen years, and for various reasons, he has never been anywhere except around Luoyang.

Now he has this self-confidence, even if he is not in Luoyang, he can still control the court very well.

Originally, he hoped to take his mother Empress Dowager Yun over to relax, but the latter was in a bad mood this year, so he was too lazy to move, let alone go far away.

Liu Zhi was helpless, seeing this scene, Queen Deng Meng took the initiative to stay and take care of the Queen Mother, so that he had no worries.

So he took Princess Liu Hua of Anyang and Princess Liu Sleeve of Wuyang, as well as two ordinary concubines who were only full, and rode in a carriage all the way to the west.

For his second daughter Liu Sleeve, Liu Zhi has always been more fond of her, she inherited her mother's beauty, and also inherited her mother's quiet and introverted character.

But after all, she is a royal princess, and she is raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, so her temperament is much more atmospheric than that of Concubine Tian Mi back then.

In the past two years, with the appointment of the crown prince Zheng Xuan, she has been guided and educated according to her character.

Today's Liu Sleeve is becoming more and more graceful and elegant, unlike her mother's sad and sad personality at every turn, and she is born with a tragic character.

Liu Zhi also liked her more and more, and she was not accompanied by her biological mother, so she felt more pity.

This year, she has also reached the year of Jilu, so Liu Zhi brought her with him on this trip.

Her birthday happened to be in early summer, and Liu Zhi was originally going to go out late to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her in the capital.

But Liu Sleeve herself refused, she had a wish, she wanted her grandfather's family to participate in her ceremony.

Tian Mi's maiden home is in Fufeng County, which happens to be on the way to Chang'an.

There are no promising people in their family, and Liu Zhi doesn't plan to have much reward, even if Tian Mi was posthumously named a concubine after his death, the Tian family didn't get much benefit.

In addition, Tian Misheng is only a princess, and there is no prince, and the Tian family has never come to see her once except for sending some gifts to Liu Sleeve every year.

But Liu Sleeve misses his relatives very much, so he hopes to hold his coming-of-age ceremony at his grandfather's house.

Such a small wish, as a father, Liu Zhi, of course, tried his best to fulfill it.

Therefore, after the emperor's car arrived in Fufu County, he stopped for a while, and took this opportunity to visit the horse farm there.

There are three major horse farms in Dahan, Dawan has the largest stallion breeding base, and the Northern Xiongnu has the largest military horse farm in the country.

In Fufeng County, there is the largest royal horse farm in the interior, which breeds thousands of horses all year round for the use of dignitaries and royalty.

Liu Zhi likes to ride horses very much, and he has hundreds of handsome horses of all kinds in the Royal Horse Workshop.

Regardless of the era, men love fast and furious, and modern rich people take pride in owning all kinds of luxury cars.

In the Han Dynasty, it was natural to like to collect all kinds of BMWs.

Liu Hua also likes to ride horses, so he happily went with his father, Liu Sleeve has a quiet personality, prefers poetry and songs, and is not interested in the horse farm.

So she asked to go to her grandfather's house alone.

When he first arrived in Fufeng, Tian Mi's father and brother came to meet the emperor and met his granddaughter.

This is also the first time Liu Zhi has seen them, just looking at their appearance, they still have some similarities with Tian Mi.

But the expression is obscene, submissive, and not very likable.

For the sake of his daughter's face, Liu Zhi and Yan Yuese chatted with them for a few words, and rewarded them with a lot of things.

After all, they are Liu Sleeve's relatives, and it is reasonable for her to visit, and Liu Zhi has no opinion, but just asks the people she is waiting for to pay more attention.

The Royal Horse Farm is located on the outskirts of Fufeng City, covering a vast area, stretching for dozens of miles, where the terrain is flat and open, the water and grass are abundant, and it is indeed a good place to raise horses.

Fufeng's horse farm is the largest pillar industry in the region, and countless occupations have spawned around this huge horse farm.

Such as horse trainers, horse breeders, horse doctors, and horse grass planting, as well as related nail horseshoe, making saddles, etc., can be said to feed countless people.

There are also many small and medium-sized horse farms scattered around Fufeng City, and most of the horses bred in them are selected from the Royal Horse Farm for civil and commercial use.

The emperor's visit to the racecourse was naturally a supreme honor, and the Taishou of Fufu County and the person in charge of the racecourse were carefully accompanied by him.

Liu Zhi was dressed in an arrow-sleeved riding suit, selected a black horse without a single stray hair, and tried to ride it for a few laps.

Feeling pretty good, Liu Hua wore a fiery red riding outfit, also chose a white horse, and looked at Liu Zhi provocatively.

"Father, do you want to have a competition?"

Looking at his youthful and eager daughter, Liu Zhi couldn't help laughing.

He plucked the horse's head, pointed to the hill in the distance with his whip and said, "Okay, do you see that hill, whoever arrives first wins." ”

"Okay."

Liu Zhi's riding skills have always been mediocre, but Liu Hua has liked horseback riding since he was a child, and he is conceited and good at riding, so he naturally will not admit defeat.

"Why don't you have some color?"

Liu Hua smiled slyly, looking at him with big black eyes, delicate and bright.

This girl is sure that she has won, and she took the opportunity to ask for a reward.

Liu Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, his daughter took the opportunity to be coquettish, which can be regarded as a family fun, so why not be happy with her.

The father and daughter galloped freely, and Tian Yan followed closely with a group of guards, for fear that they would miss the slightest.

"Hahaha......"

"Giggle......

Cheerful laughter sprinkled all the way, the red clothes and white horses were heroic, Liu Zhi looked at her far ahead, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, at this moment he really felt that his daughter had grown up.

The result of the game was self-evident, naturally Liu Zhi lost, but the gift she asked for was beyond his expectations.

"You asked me to allow Wuyang to hold a ceremony in Tianfu?"

Liu Zhi frowned slightly, "This is what she asked you to say?" ”

Liu Hua was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he shook his head decisively, "Wuyang didn't say that, I guessed it myself, I don't know if my father is willing to do it?" ”

The emperor personally went to the palace of his subordinates, which was a great gift in itself, and Liang Ji was arrogant and domineering, and repeatedly asked him to go to the mansion, just to show off.

In addition, he has only been to Deng Yan's Mansion and Fan Chao's Mansion, both of whom have a close personal relationship with him.

And the Tian family, obviously, is not enough in any way, Liu Hua has always been reasonable and understanding, she can tactfully put it forward in this way.

It can only show that Liu Sleeve behaved too strongly, so he asked Liu Hua, who has always regarded herself as the eldest sister, to help her.

After pondering for a while, Liu Zhi nodded and smiled: "If you want to lose the bet, then I'll make an exception." ”

Liu Hua was overjoyed when he heard this, "Father, you are really good." ”

One sentence can make both daughters happy, and it is worth it.

Next, Liu Zhi visited the horse farm again, and when he returned to his accommodation, it was already afternoon.

Liu Sleeve hadn't come back yet, so it could be seen that she had a good time in Tianfu, and it wasn't until the evening that she was escorted by her cousin Tian Zheng, and she was late.

When I heard that my father promised to let her hold a ceremony in Tianfu, I was pleasantly surprised, and my eyes turned red.

"Thank you father for your success, thank you eldest sister."

Although Liu Hua and Liu Sleeve are sisters, they are not the same mother, and Liu Sleeve grew up in the Empress Dowager's palace since childhood, so the relationship between the two has always been plain.

Therefore, Liu Sleeve didn't expect that Liu Hua would try his best to ask his father for grace for her.

For a while, the gratitude was overwhelming, and the friendship between the sisters also warmed up unconsciously.

Her birthday is just a few days ago, and the dress and the like have already been prepared, and Tian Fu is naturally overjoyed when he gets the news.

Princess Wuyang chose to hold a coming-of-age ceremony in their house, which is a very noble thing, not to mention that the emperor and the eldest princess will be present in person.

This glory is already unique to the entire Han Dynasty, enough for them to show off for a lifetime.

According to the Tian family's ideas, it must be done in a big way, the more grand the better, and it must be worthy of the noble status of Princess Wuyang.

It's a pity that Princess Wuyang takes into account all kinds of factors and is not willing to exaggerate too much, and repeatedly tells that it must be done simply, and it cannot be extravagant and wasteful.

Except for your loved ones, you cannot invite other people to attend.

The Tian family was originally full of breath and wanted to be in the limelight, but now they have to reduce the scale.

But even so, as long as the emperor can come to watch the ceremony in person, it will be enough for the Tian father and son. With this grace, at least in Fufu County, you can go sideways.
