Finally, three years later, Han Du ushered in his own day of victory.
At this time, the improvement of the locomotive was also very smooth, and the final improvements were completed.
With double happiness coming, Han Du prepared to test drive without hesitation.
Following Wang Yue into the Qianqing Palace, after saluting, Zhu Biao waved to Han Du with excitement on his face before Han Du could speak.
"You came just in time. I just wanted to send someone to summon you."
Han Du had no choice but to suppress his own affairs first and asked with a smile on his face, "What kind of good thing is it? Can it make the emperor so happy?"
Zhu Biao actually stood up, walked to Han Du, and handed the letter in his hand to Han Du with his own hands.
"Look, this is a letter from the fourth child. I didn't expect that this America is really a good place. In just a few years? He not only rebuilt the Forbidden City, but also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The new Ming Dynasty was founded, and the reign name was Yongle!"
"Xinming, Yongle" Han Du's thoughts were flying, as if he was on the American continent and saw a huge city rising suddenly between the five great lakes, standing tall and towering like a giant beast crawling on the plains!
Han Du took it and glanced at it hastily. He smiled with mixed feelings, "Didn't he make it very clear? The reason why the Forbidden City was able to be built so quickly was because he drove millions of indigenous people to build it for him."
"Yes, I never thought that a barbaric land could easily drive away millions of people!" Zhu Biao clasped his hands behind his back and looked up to the east.
"I have long said that such a rich and precious land can never be given to him. But the emperor insists on having his own way. Do you regret it now?" Han Du curled his lips. He still felt that Zhu Biao had not listened to his advice and spared Zhu Di. Some are aggrieved.
Zhu Biao turned back to look at Han Du seriously and nodded heavily, "To tell you the truth, I regret it a little."
But then Zhu Biao shook his head and laughed, and continued, "But now it seems that although America is a fertile land, it is not without its master. The fourth child is brave and resourceful, has a strong personality, and is daring. I'm afraid it's true Only he can hold America in check."
"I know that you want me to leave America to Zhu Yunyu, but ask yourself, can he control America with him?"
Han Du sighed inwardly. This was also the place that made him hesitate at first. Although Zhu Yunyu was not as good as Zhu Yunye, there was not much difference.
No one can predict how Zhu Yunye will treat his biological brother when he takes the throne in the future.
Both children called themselves uncle, so Han Du wanted Zhu Biao to seal Zhu Yunyu overseas, so that Zhu Yunyu could be truly preserved.
As for overseas places, the one with the greatest development potential is the Americas.
<
br> But Han Du also had to admit that what Zhu Biao said was reasonable. Zhu Yunyu could not suppress America.
"Then I dare to ask the emperor, now that Zhu Yunye has been appointed as the crown prince, how do you plan to arrange Zhu Yunyu?"
Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du, who looked at him without giving in.
"You really care about family ties. Are you so worried about Yun Yu?"
"That's right. After all, he has called me uncle for so many years since he was a child. I can't let his friendship go to waste, right?" Han Du said straightforwardly without being secretive.
Zhu Biao nodded with a smile. Not only was he not angry at all, but he was very pleased with Han Du's move. If a person does not even care about blood and family ties, then this person is either a traitor or a hypocrite.
After lowering his head and thinking carefully, Zhu Biao slowly said, "I will discuss this matter with Yunye and listen to his thoughts before I can make a decision."
Indeed, the real key to this matter lies in Zhu Yunye, and it is necessary and necessary to ask his opinion in advance.
Let Zhu Yunye put forward his ideas in front of Zhu Biao. First of all, he will not mention it too much. Secondly, even if there is something in the future, he will not be able to go back on it. After all, this is what he said personally.
In fact, the two brothers Zhu Yunye and Zhu Yunyu have a very good relationship. The two brothers have always loved each other. But if they were an ordinary family, they could safely let the two brothers get along on their own.
However, when it comes to the position of emperor, both Zhu Biao and Han Du feel that they should be prepared for the worst.
"By the way, what's the matter with you?" Zhu Biao asked after coming back to his senses.
"Oh~" Han Du reacted and quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, after many experiments, the train in the mechanical workshop is ready for real use. I would like to invite the Emperor to ride it and experience it."
"What? This thing can still seat people? How can it be seated?" Zhu Biao had seen a train, but what he saw was a locomotive. It was very cramped and there was no place for people to sit.
Han Du guessed that Zhu Biao had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "We are not sitting on the front of the car, but connected to the carriage behind the front of the car. We sit in the carriage."
"Just like a carriage?" Zhu Biao understood something instantly.
Han Du nodded, "It's similar to a carriage, but the carriage is much larger and longer than the carriage."
"It's interesting." Zhu Biao touched his chin and nodded, "Okay, then you can report it to me when you finish it.
I also want to see how you can sit on this thing."
Han Du leaned over with a smile and explained, "Your Majesty, this time I want to go directly from the capital to Shanghai County. It will take at least two days. Therefore, I am afraid that the Emperor needs to make some preparations."
"Oh? It takes so long?" Zhu Biao frowned. It was not impossible for him to leave the Forbidden City, but he had to prepare a lot of things in advance.
"Have your railway tracks been repaired?" Zhu Biao was quite surprised. ??
"It has just been repaired, and the train has also been repaired. It's a double happiness." Han Du replied with a smile on his face.
"That's the time to congratulate you." Zhu Biao nodded with a slight smile, and then glanced at him, as if he was a little embarrassed, "If I leave the palace, I will bring a lot of guards with me. Can your train accommodate them?"
"There is no problem with this. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Han Du patted his chest and assured boldly.
Don’t worry if there are too many people. The biggest problem is to add a few more carriages.
Seeing that Han Du was so generous, Zhu Biao became even more curious, "Oh? I am even more curious. Okay, I will promise you. You go back and prepare first. After I have made arrangements, I will tell you the date of departure."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
After procrastinating for more than ten days, Zhu Biao finally managed the government affairs and was able to spare two days.
On this day, Zhu Biao took Prince Han Jingyun, several other princes, and ministers of civil and military affairs to the station that was built.
Fang Xiaoru's face was full of dissatisfaction. When he walked up to Han Du, he started to argue, "What did you do? You actually tricked the emperor into traveling. Do you know the consequences of this?"
"What are the consequences?" Han Du didn't react at all.
Although it is true that he wanted to use the emperor to make the train famous, he had also sought Zhu Biao's consent. Why did Fang Xiaoru turn it into a bewilderment?
As for why you want to find Zhu Biao?
Although people lie on the fence all day long looking at trains, if they really want to ride on them, not many people may have the courage to do so.
In the eyes of the common people, this thing is almost equated with a monster.
If Han Du had arranged everything, but no one dared to sit down, wouldn't he have thrown his millions into the water?
Therefore, in order to make money back, Han Du will not let go of this best publicity opportunity. Even the emperor dares to ride on this thing, what else do the people have to fear?
Fang Xiaoru hated the irony and said, "The emperor traveled and shocked the world, and he also went to Shanghai County? How do you want the magistrate and the people of Shanghai County to deal with themselves?"
Emperor
When the emperor went out, he not only needed to sweep the streets, but also required officials and people from all over the county to come and kneel down. It is fair to say that it disturbed the people.
"Don't worry, the emperor doesn't want to disturb the people. Shanghai County was not notified of this trip at all," Han Du explained.
She originally thought that Fang Xiaoru would understand, but she didn't expect that it would make him furious. "You're nonsense! The emperor traveled without telling the place. Do you know what a sin it is."
He explained to himself that this was the emperor's intention. Seeing that Fang Xiaoru was still insisting on it, he couldn't help but frown.
Fang Xiaoru wanted to say something else, but Han Du slightly raised his chin behind him and said, "The emperor is here."
After saying that, he hurriedly greeted him, "My lord, I respectfully welcome your Majesty."
Zhu Biao was very happy today and waved his hand "Pingshen."
Then he pointed at the long train in front of him and asked, "Is this the train you made? Is it so long?"
Han Du stood up and nodded with a smile, "Your Majesty, please!"
Zhu Biao did not hesitate and took the lead in boarding the carriage with the people around him.
Han Du also took An Qing, his son and daughter up there.
This carriage was specially prepared for Zhu Biao. It was not only spacious inside, but also had a long table in the middle, on which were placed exquisite iron plates containing all kinds of fresh fruits.
After everyone was waiting for the train, Handu sent a signal, and a large amount of white smoke came out from the front of the train and began to move slowly.
At the beginning, I didn't feel much movement.
But soon, Zhu Biao noticed that the scenery outside the window was receding.
"Huh?" Zhu Biao was slightly surprised and said with a smile, "This feels similar to riding a horse, but it's more interesting than riding a horse."
Indeed, this is much easier than riding a horse.
Although the decoration inside the carriage is simple, Han Du has put a lot of thought into it. The stool under Zhu Biao's seat is wrapped in thick soft cushions. It is very soft and comfortable to sit on, and you can't feel the train at all.
shock.
Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly fell on the table in the middle, and he couldn't help but point his finger, "Why are these plates not moving at all?"
Without waiting for Han Du to answer, Zhu Biao picked it up and felt a suction force, "Huh? What's under you?"
"Back to the emperor, it's a magnet."
"Magnet?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and figured it out instantly.
Chao Handu couldn't help but praise, "What a beautiful and thoughtful person."
Others were also surprised and ordered to try it out, and couldn't help but cast admiring glances at Han Du.
