Liu Jin also smiled when he saw his son Liu Xin leaving happily.
He doesn't know whether it is good or bad to grow up in a family like his. Since he was born, he has received countless things that ordinary people will never get in their lifetime, but he also faces many things that ordinary people will not have to worry about in their lifetime.
For example, when it comes to marriage, he has lost the opportunity to love freely, because when he was a child, Liu Jin, Zhang Mao, and Zhang Lun made an appointment to have a baby marriage. It is estimated that in a few years, the Zhang family will
Li Jin has to be urged to arrange marriages for his two children, because Zhang Lun's daughter is two years older than Liu Jin and is now seventeen years old.
According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, one can start a family at the age of sixteen. If one is not married after the age of eighteen, she is considered a eldest girl.
Liu Jin obviously didn't want his son to get married too early. Getting married too early would not be good for the child's health. At least, he had to wait until he was eighteen years old, and it was best to get married after he was twenty years old.
But it is obviously impossible for the British Duke Zhang Lun to wait that long. If he waits until he is in his twenties to get married, he will be criticized, and he will get married at the age of 20.
I have met Zhang Lun's daughter. She is very beautiful, but she has a bit of a strong temper. The main reason is that when Zhang Mao was still alive, he doted on her very much. After all, they kissed her every other generation. This is still
Two generations apart, Zhang Mao loves his grandson Zhang Lun's children very much.
Liu Jin was a little worried about his son. It was not a good thing to marry a strong wife, let alone the daughter of a British official with a tough background.
I guess it will definitely be difficult to take a concubine in the future. This is a big worry. Men are mostly philanderers.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu~"
Just when Liu Jin felt sorry for his son's gloomy life in the future, Zhu Houchun's voice came over.
Soon, Zhu Houzhao walked in with a smile on his face and an excited look on his face.
"I have met His Royal Highness~"
"No need, no need~"
"Go, go, go see my new invention."
Zhu Houzhao pulled up Liu Jin and walked outside. He looked extremely excited, as if he had researched something remarkable this time.
"What did your Highness invent?"
Liu Jin asked as he guessed.
Ever since he led an army of 300,000 to sweep across Eastern Europe and establish the Black Earth Province, this guy has not had much interest in military matters. After he came back, he no longer clamored about becoming a champion or anything like that, and his hobbies returned again.
Scientific research and creation of human beings.
Things here in Shuntian Mansion are basically left to the officials of the Prince's Mansion to handle, and I often stay in the laboratory and study all kinds of messy things.
At the same time, they are still creating people at a terrifying speed that requires them to become fathers several times a month. It is said that the royal family’s expenses have been hundreds of times greater than before, all because Zhu Houzhao has given birth to so many children now.
Already.
There are many women here, and the key is that they are fertile. I heard that there are a few lucky ones every night, and they are very energetic. The beauties collected are also all kinds, including Han Chinese, Korean vassal, Japanese, and various people within the Ming Dynasty.
The beauties of the tribe went to Europe and brought back hundreds of European beauties.
There were a lot of women and a lot of children. I don’t know what the other effects were. Anyway, the centripetal force of various tribes within the Ming Dynasty towards the Ming Dynasty was much stronger.
Because people from each tribe knew that their tribe had a marriage relationship with the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, the little princes and princesses they gave birth to were used for publicity, promoting the harmony and friendship among the tribes within the Ming Dynasty.
Even in the Black Earth Province, which was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty not long ago, the locals now know that Princess Riazan married the Ming prince and gave birth to a little prince and a little princess. The people of the Ming Dynasty did not treat them differently.
These greatly eased the relationships and conflicts among the various tribes within the Ming Dynasty, promoted the integration of the ethnic groups, and consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
This also made Liu Jin sigh. Sometimes marriage is still very useful. It can indeed reduce conflicts between each other to a great extent and increase mutual understanding, communication and trust.
It's just that the two parties in the marriage are the victims. Zhu Houzhao is very tired. After all, there are too many women and it is difficult to take care of them. They have to queue up and take turns. Zhu Houzhao is also tired.
As for the women in Zhu Houzhao's harem, it is even more tragic. Some of them are unlucky and have not yet been reincarnated. Their tears are unknown and no one cares about them.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was a diligent seeder. He was quite diligent when he was either sowing or on the way to sow. Although there were a few more women, he could still get a little bit of rain and dew evenly.
If a prince could be born, it would be something to rely on and worry about.
"You'll find out later."
Zhu Houzhao pretended to be mysterious and said, taking Liu Jin into the car and quickly heading to his laboratory.
Zhu Houzhao's laboratory was large in scale, covering a large area, and had complete supporting facilities and a large number of researchers. In future generations, it would be a high-standard laboratory with strong funds, advanced technology, and a large number of researchers.
Entering the laboratory, you can see rooms filled with various mechanical equipment, and you can also see a large number of researchers conducting various experimental studies.
Some are studying mechanics, and some are studying electromagnetism. These two fields are what Zhu Houzhao is most interested in, and they are also the fields he is currently researching with all his strength.
"Old Liu, let me tell you, this time my research will definitely shock you deeply. It must be an epoch-making great invention."
Zhu Houzhao kept bragging about his inventions to Liu Jin. In front of Liu Jin, he was most confident in his various inventions and his ability to create people. He always had to brag in front of Liu Jin.
"What the hell is it that's so mysterious?"
Liu Jin smiled. I've probably seen all the things you invented. Is there anything I haven't seen yet? I haven't seen any of the airplanes, mobile phones, TVs, computers, etc. in later generations.
You are so outrageous that you have invented something new, and I have never seen it before.
"Hey, you'll know soon."
Zhu Houzhao smiled mysteriously, came to his laboratory, and immediately said to his team: "Get all the experiments ready and start the experiment immediately."
"Yes~"
When the people under his command heard this, they quickly started to get busy.
Then Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin to an experimental device, pointed to a ball of dark silk thread in front of him and said, "This is my invention."
"What is this, just a dark line?"
Liu Jin looked at the black thread in front of him and was very confused.
"This is a very useful thing."
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and then looked at the people around him.
"Professor, everything is ready."
"Okay~"
"Start the experiment and let our cabinet chief, Liu Gong, see our great invention."
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction. In the Mechanical College and the experiment, Zhu Houzhao liked to be called professor, but did not like to be called His Royal Highness.
Just like in the military camp, he likes his subordinates to call him general or commander-in-chief.
"Yes~"
His subordinates quickly replied.
Then the people under him got busy quickly, someone closed the curtains, and the whole room instantly became dark.
"What the hell is going on?"
Liu Jin looked at how busy they were, and then looked at the dim room. He was confused as to what kind of tricks Zhu Houzhao was trying to play.
Before Liu Jin could figure out the situation, someone started to pedal a bicycle-like device next to him. As the device was running, a power generation device next to him began to generate electricity. The magnetic field was cut, and there were whirring sounds.
Then soon, in the middle of the room, a red light spot began to light up. Then the red light spot became brighter and brighter, and gradually brightened up, illuminating the room.
"I'm going~"
Liu Jin looked at the place where the light was emitting, and his eyes widened slightly. He felt that he had taken out the electric light.
It's really not easy. Electromagnetic technology has been studied for many years, and the telegraph has been produced. But this electric light has been developed for a long time, and it has only been developed now.
The one just now should be the filament, but I don’t know what the filament is made of, whether it is cotton thread, bamboo filament, or metal wire.
Judging from the brightness of this light, it is quite good. It is several times stronger than the light of a candle. It is completely sufficient for lighting.
I don’t know what’s going on with this lifespan. The lifespan of ordinary materials is very limited, and if it is directly exposed to the air, the lifespan will be greatly reduced. It should be placed in vacuum glass and then filled with water.
Inert gas, so the life will be longer.
In an instant, Liu Jin thought of many things in his mind.
However, Liu Jin's surprised expression was clearly noticed by Zhu Hou on the side, and he immediately became extremely happy.
"Haha~"
"My invention is amazing. I don't need any oil or wood. I can make a lamp, and it's very bright. This invention is amazing."
Zhu Houzhao laughed happily. In fact, this invention was discovered accidentally while doing experiments.
When electricity passes through materials with high resistance, it will heat up and turn red, so Zhu Houzhao thought about whether he could do some research and come up with something brighter.
To this end, he conducted thousands of experiments and experimented with many kinds of materials, and he finally found a material that could be used to emit light and generate heat through electricity.
