Chapter 739 The extraordinary prosperity and the emperor are so strong
Zhu Youxiao felt very accomplished when he read this scene.
Of course, what made him even more happy was that because of his unswerving restructuring of his country and nation, the people of the Ming Dynasty have begun to increasingly identify with the country and nation because of the court's dedicated training and education.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao discovered that the wisdom of the Ming Dynasty had also improved significantly, and he had increasingly his own independent thinking.
Imagine that as decades ago, some scholars and officials who were the best and maintained a hierarchical order through ethics can no longer use some tactics to fool the world into believing their words.
Many fellow villagers who still miss the era where they could have a large group of wives and concubines and could use the name of the books of sages to imprison others' thoughts, also understand that the Ming Dynasty is completely unable to go back to the Ming Dynasty.
Even if it really changes the emperor, it will be useless.
There is no external force that they can use as a supporter.
It's not even possible to escape abroad.
Many desperate and radical scholars committed suicide.
"God! Why did you do this? A tyrant has made a great world today. No one can defeat it in terms of civil and military achievements. So that the people all call it great, the scholars are willing to drive it, and the whole world accepts its hegemony! But I still don't like this world of speech that is not enough to teach Confucius and Mencius, and their ancestors are not enough to fear. I don't like this prosperous world that is obtained by using guns and cannons! Please let me be reincarnated in the era when only the son said poems! Woo woo! The late emperor!"
For example, at this time, an old scholar named Wu Guang stood on a high building and shouted at the sky, then jumped down to end his life.
Zhu Youxiao, who had arrived at a teahouse opposite, saw this scene and heard Wu Guang's words.
Zhu Youxiao was speechless and thought to himself: "Is this world not good now? Everyone has hope in life and has to develop like the original history. During this period, it is better to keep a rat-tail of money and then continue to recite some things with your own complacent words?"
"It's really pedantic!"
Zhu Youxiao gave up a sentence, and then ordered: "Go to the Ming Academy of Sciences."
Zhu Youxiao wanted to go to the Academy of Sciences to see the latest internal combustion engine cars developed.
Zhu Youxiao is well aware of the importance of internal combustion engines.
In his opinion, if the internal combustion engine car is really developed successfully, the Ming Dynasty will completely enter the oil era.
In that case, the main energy demand of the Ming Dynasty would become oil.
The productivity of the entire Ming Dynasty will also be greatly improved.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is an internal combustion engine car. He can drive for a long time by adding oil, and it is much more convenient than the previous steam car that burns coal, making the body much smaller and much better-looking."
Not long after Zhu Youxiao arrived at the Ming Academy of Sciences, Fang Yizhi, the head of the Ming Academy of Sciences, introduced Zhu Youxiao an internal combustion engine car with a unique shape and a three-wheeled vehicle.
Zhu Youxiao found that this car was really simple. The internal combustion engine was located between the two major wheels at the back, and a wheel was connected in front. The connecting rod above the front is connected to the handlebar in front of the seat. It seems that the direction can be adjusted by controlling the front wheels by the handlebar.
Zhu Youxiao asked the technician to test it and found that the car did run faster than the steam car, so he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Very good! I will have a lot of rewards! This car should be promoted immediately, but we still need to continue to improve it, find ways to improve thermal efficiency and speed, and try to become more and more beautiful as possible."
"I will remember your Majesty's instructions."
Fang Yizhi replied.
At this time, Zhang Tongchang walked to Zhu Youxiao and reported: "Your Majesty, the French envoy has arrived."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Xuan them will come to see Qinzheng Hall tomorrow to see me."
In order to curb the expansion of Japan and North Korea in the Americas, France's actual ruler Philip had to send envoys to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to curb the expansion of Japan and North Korea through the help of the Ming Dynasty.
The chief envoy who represented Philip to the Ming Dynasty this time was France's Finance Minister Coleber.
Kerrber was naturally surprised by the steam ships and trains of the Ming Dynasty. Now he arrived at the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After seeing the electric lights in the Huitong Hall, he was even more amazed and sighed: "My God, the people of the Ming Dynasty have already mastered the secret of light!"
"This is indeed a very terrible country. No wonder Duke Philip thought that France could never surpass her! There are so many magical beginnings in this country! If you don't see it in person, just hear others say that it is really hard to imagine the wealth here."
General Elleken, who came with him, also sighed and said.
When the next morning, when French envoys such as Corber entered the Ming Dynasty and saw the majestic Forbidden City, they were even more surprised.
"This palace is really big! My French palace is still much worse than that."
"Yes, I don't know if their emperors will be as daunting as their palace."
When French envoys such as Corber and Eileken saw Zhu Youxiao and saw the dragon robe of the Chinese Emperor he was wearing, they became even more dumbfounded.
Colber couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's indeed much more gorgeous and grand than our emperor's dress! His image is also very majestic!"
However, what Colbert didn't know was that Zhu Youxiao was just wearing regular clothes and did not wear dresses.
When Zhu Youxiao saw these French people, he asked in a fury and threatening manner: "I have read your letter of state. It is natural to buy arms from my Ming Dynasty. However, you must abide by the global order I have established..."
Zhu Youxiao proposed a series of conditions for the Ming Dynasty to be preferential in France, and required that the French Empire not to expand new colonies. Coleber agreed to all these, because Philip had instructed him before he left France that as long as the Ming Dynasty could promise to sell arms to himself, no matter what the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty made, he had to agree.
When Zhu Youxiao saw the envoys of the Bourbon dynasty in France cooperated so well, he naturally asked the envoys of France to stay for a few months before they could wait for Charles II to be taken to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After watching the execution of King Charles II of England, he returned to his country and failed to return to his country to report his life. During this period, the Ming Dynasty first used the batch of funds he brought to prepare corresponding weapons for him.
Naturally, French envoys such as Corbert naturally did not refuse.
More than three months later, Charles II was taken outside the Huangji Gate, knelt in front of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty, and was tried by the Three Courts of the Ming Dynasty.
