Before the dog days, the people of Xiaqiu Village were busy.

The ladies in the palace were first assigned to the other side to squeeze with others, and the people of the palace simply moved to Xiaqiu Village to live temporarily.

Craftsmen drawn from other places worked day and night, and some people dug outside the moat, and some people brought a bamboo tube down to see the situation.

Water towers are being built, water wheels are being built to generate electricity, and wires are threaded into dry bamboo tubes and wired in various places in the palace.

It must be beautiful, but also not dangerous, buried in the ground is not good, rain and leakage, not necessarily who is unlucky.

"It seems that we can't go recently, and we will definitely spend winter outside, and you will write the tablet when the time comes."

After the lieutenant found out about the situation, how long did it take to get from here to Helin City? How many days can you stay over there? Time to come back......

"I can't leave in the first place, the things I prepared are not in place, and it is not a simple matter for the prince to travel." Zhu Wentian knew that this would be the case.

Moreover, the crown princess is pregnant to give birth to a child and after confinement, and she has recovered well, so she always has to be close to the prince for a few days.

However, the pregnancy will not continue, and measures must be taken, otherwise the woman will continue to give birth like this, and her life will be short.

Historically, the crown princess's body was due to the problem of constantly giving birth to children, and she gave birth to four children in less than seven years.

Now that the first one is a son, he is not so eager to have more children and to raise them.

The things in Xiaqiu Village have been prepared, and the village will dispatch twenty-three young boys and girls plus Zhu Wentian, as well as twenty strong and clever people, plus the chief, a total of forty-four people.

The village has loaded fifteen wagons with twin horses, and another horse will be next to it, ready to be replaced at any time.

……

"Yes, look, our Imperial City also uses electric lights, and in the future, you will not be afraid of bad light when you deal with official business at night.

This doesn't cost anything, let's order a few more, bright.

Take the light bulb, install it yourself if it is broken, take the broken one back, look at the electricity first, and pull the place.

The red one indicates that the power is off, and you can go up and remove the bulb, and the green one is powered on, and we don't care if the light bulb is electrocuted. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was finally able to use electricity on the day of the dog days, and he summoned his ministers to talk about it.

Pull the place with a bamboo box, leave a small opening outside, there is a small piece inside, pull the piece to turn a grid, just correspond to the red and green break and pass.

In fact, if you understand the principle, you can unscrew the outer lid of the bamboo box and see if it is powered or not.

The ministers were indeed very happy, they were reluctant to use candles and kerosene lamps, which could not compare to light bulbs.

The degree of brightness of the bulb depends on the resistance wire, anyway, electricity does not cost money, and the village is very bright.

If you find it glaring, you can add a frosted glass plate underneath and hang it with a rope.

Things are good, the only thing that makes everyone feel wrong is that His Majesty said that he would work at night, did he say that with electric lights, he had to ...... at night

"Let's all go back to eat, today we will eat bacon flatbread for you, and we will feed you all."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished talking about the electric light, he told everyone what to eat today.

The head is dumplings, the two are noodles, and the three are pancakes and eggs.

According to the customs of the north, Zhu Yuanzhang also followed, but he felt that eggs were not a good thing, so he asked the village and knew that the village was going to eat bacon flatbread, so he asked Guanglu Temple to do it.

Then he and the people in the harem ate the bacon flatbread sent by Xiaqiu Village, and then served it with the soup of shredded radish and ginger, which was fragrant and relieved of the heat.

The ministers rejoiced again, because according to recent tradition, it began after the birth of the imperial grandson.

His Majesty gives three meals a day, and one meal in the evening can be taken home, and the portion is naturally to bring with the family.

His Majesty was happy, and he went to see the eldest grandson with a smile every day.

Another reason is estimated to be that there are new arrivals from the Yi people, and they are through the Mediterranean, taking a land route and then a section of the Red Sea.

After the previous people go back, as soon as the good things are promoted, it is worth the risk of others.

When they came, they brought goods, exchanged with others along the way, and then came to the Ming Dynasty, with food, gold and silver, spices and medicinal herbs in their hands.

Some people from nearby also brought some crop seeds from their own place, and asked Daming if there was anything here? If you don't have it, it's expensive, and if you have it, it's not worth it.

The people in charge of the city department do not deceive them, if they don't have it, they don't have it, and promise to give them a large amount of money as a reward.

In this way, they will be willing to bring more new things to Daming, otherwise they will feel cheated and will not bring them in the future.

There are a lot of people coming and going, and the trading in the palace is profitable, plus there is an extra eldest grandson, how much can it cost to reward the ministers with something to eat?

……

"Actually, it's better to eat like this, when we come back, the imperial grandson Xiongying will be able to crawl around skillfully, right?"

On the second floor of the box restaurant, there are cakes, bacon, side dishes, and soup in front of Li Chang and Hanhan.

Then the two of them didn't stuff the bacon into the cake, and ate it separately, thinking about how long the child would be able to climb.

"Maybe I'll be able to walk and talk! Who knows what a child is really like? The children in our village all walked and talked early. ”

Zhu Wentian was stunned for a moment before he spoke to the lieutenant chief, he was also counting the day, it was the day when the paddle steamer was built.

If you can't see it, you can only wait to come back, or ...... Bring a small steam engine with you.

"Let's go out and add two more carriages, bring the parts of the small steam engine, at least three sets, let's assemble them.

Going out can't delay our R&D progress, and I take them to learn when I stop on the road.

The ships of the Daming Sailor can see a batch, suitable for long-distance voyages, and the sails and oars are all used.

It was slow, and the steam engine had to be used on ships.

Then it will be easier for us to trade with people from the outside, and fight back if others use force. ”

Zhu Wentian said what he thought, he didn't worry about the child being able to climb for a few months, as long as the child was normal and healthy.

Anyway, because the babies in the village are well nourished, and at the same time the adults know more about parenting, it is not uncommon for them to talk early and walk early.

The lieutenant also put Zhu Xiongying aside for the time being: "Let's bring some key parts, which are not easy to build outside, such as sealing rings and gaskets."

There are craftsmen in the team, and they want to ensure the normal operation of our vehicles on the road, so they naturally bring tools.

If you want something, talk to them and trust them to help.

In this case, the artisans will stay outside for a long time, and their families don't know if they miss them.

Alas~~! If you can't do it, you can give more money to their families, and the most fearful thing is that they get sick outside......"

The lieutenant said that he was worried about the craftsmen who were going to set off together, and that accidents always happened, including the craftsmen who built the palace for the imperial city.

It's not that he has any cold, but while he is working, the person falls, and the doctor in the hospital goes to see the situation, but there is nothing he can do.

Otherwise, if you get sick, you can always be healed.
