Constrained by three traction ropes, the hot air balloon hangs in the air, neither going up nor down.
The dangerous topic continues...
"We are on the other extreme. We are born with the end in mind." Zhu Di sighed, looked at his hands and said, "It's really boring. Although many people think my words are hypocritical, I believe you will understand, Lao Liu.
, otherwise you wouldn’t be so tossing.”
"Oh, Fourth Brother, I understand you." Zhu Zhen may not necessarily understand Fourth Brother, but he knows how to chat. He said in his heart that I was just messing around, and I didn't think so much. I was a social beast enough in my previous life, and I feel that in this life
I am so happy and satisfied every day.
"Right, actually, it doesn't mean much to complete your father's mission." The fourth brother had already made the sixth brother his confidant and complained to him:
"Because no matter how much trouble we make, we can go back to prison for a few days at most and get beaten. No matter how much trouble we make, we have father and big brother to clean up the mess for us. What's the point of saying we are emboldened?"
"Yeah." Zhu Zhenxin said, it's super interesting, okay?
He couldn't help but secretly said with shame, so my fourth brother has the appearance of an emperor, and the best I can do is become a sea king...
After thinking about it, he decided to ask directly: "Fourth brother, are you stimulated by something?"
"I can't say for sure, maybe it's because the second brother and the third brother are feuding." Zhu Di sighed and said:
"Originally, I didn't think too much about it, but those civil servants were like sending off the plague, and wanted to send them away to join the feudal vassal. This made me mutter, those civil servants have never been kind-hearted. Could it be that this is a trap?"
"Yeah, yes, whatever the civil servants support, we can oppose it and that's it." Zhu Zhen nodded. His prejudice against civil servants, or literati, was not that big.
"Right, the same goes for me." Zhu Di happily patted Lao Liu on the shoulder, and then said: "I just talked about this matter with your fourth sister-in-law... Don't look at her as a woman, she is much more knowledgeable than me.
.”
"That's right, the fourth sister-in-law is a famous girl." Zhu Zhen nodded enviously. "What do you think the fourth sister-in-law said?"
"Your fourth sister-in-law said that my feeling is probably right." Zhu Di sighed and said: "She said that we vassal kings, who are states but do not control the people, are simply the general soldiers. And the vassal king's army is also
It belongs to the Governor's Mansion and does not belong to the kingdom, so how can there be any kingdom at all?"
"Although we didn't feel this way at the beginning of the vassal period, as if the whole province was revolving around us. But that's because our father is still there, and the civil and military officials are afraid of us as the princes who command the army, not because they are afraid of our status as vassal kings.
.Do you understand this difference?" He asked Lao Liu again.
"Understood." Lao Liu nodded and said, "Our descendants will still be vassal kings, but they will no longer be princes."
"Smart, that's what I mean." Zhu Di couldn't help showing admiration, but then he changed the topic and said:
"But you are still too optimistic. We don't have to wait for our descendants. We will probably not be princes in the future. By then, it will be easy for people to reduce your military power and transfer your vassal?"
"That's true, but with big brother here, it shouldn't be a big problem..." Lao Liu said.
"Then...of course." Zhu Di asked quietly: "What about after eldest brother?"
"Then it's hard to say." Lao Liushi replied seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to kill the baby with the flat head.
"Your sister-in-law said that since ancient times, vassal kings rarely died well." Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhen steadily and said in a deep voice: "My brother needs to make plans early."
"Uh..." Lao Liu was stunned on the spot, thinking to himself, is Fourth Brother starting to have ideas at this time?
But he didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that if he answered incorrectly, his fourth brother would be thrown from the "Unit No. 1".
Fortunately, Zhu Di only thought he was afraid of heights and didn't notice anything strange about him. He still said emotionally:
"So Lao Liu, we brothers have to go out and have a try! Do something of our own business, so that our life will not be wasted!"
"That's it..." Lao Liu breathed a long sigh of relief. He thought that the fourth brother was going to do that kind of big business that he was best at.
Then he smiled and said, "I'm already paving the way, aren't I?"
As long as it is not a big undertaking, he will fully support it.
If you want to do that kind of big business, it depends on the circumstances... For example, if Flathead becomes the emperor, you can't just sit back and wait for death, right?
But with my status, helping my brothers conquer the world is the biggest disadvantage. Winning or losing will only bring disadvantages but no benefits. At most, the difference is only the size of the disadvantages.
So we still have to try our best... no, try our best to avoid the flat head from getting higher!
~~
"Hmm." While Lao Liu was thinking wildly, Zhu Di said with emotion: "When you talked about this that year, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that in less than two years, you have already become a veritable King of the Sea.
"
"You are the best king of the sea." Lao Liu said with some guilt.
"Of course he is the King of the Sea. Could it mean something else?" Zhu Di looked at him strangely.
"Nothing else." Lao Liu shook his head hurriedly, and sighed softly: "Actually, the king of the sea is far from being mentioned. At most, it is the king of the East China Sea at our doorstep. There are also the southern and western oceans and the oceans beyond.
, are all beyond our control."
"Let's do it step by step. You have to step carefully first and be prepared." Zhu Di said solemnly: "In a few years, my father-in-law and I have learned our skills and destroyed Beiyuan. Then we will go to sea to help you. Let's start the battle together.
Expanding territory! Isn’t it a hundred times better than being a vassal king at home?”
"Well, that's what I think too." Zhu Zhen nodded. Knowing that his fourth brother had told him so much, he would be unhappy if he didn't reveal his feelings. He also said in a deep voice:
"My father can tolerate us, and my eldest brother can tolerate us, but that won't be the case for my eldest nephew at that time. Instead of being trembling and speculating on the holy will, it's better to take advantage of my father and eldest brother to go overseas and create a new Ming Dynasty!"
"
"Okay, let's make it a deal!" Zhu Di stretched out his fist.
"It's settled!" Zhu Zhen exchanged fists with him heavily.
I wonder if this counts as having successfully skewed history?
But thinking about it, it's far from that. After all, the fourth brother just had the idea of going overseas to develop, and his life trajectory has not changed in any way.
I have to keep up my efforts and strive to allow my fourth brother’s physical body to develop overseas as soon as possible.
Thinking of having to obtain the consent of the old thief, he found it very difficult...
But for this family and this country, no matter how difficult it is, he will do it!
~~
As the air in the hot air balloon gradually cooled, Unit 1 began to slowly descend.
The guards working the ropes below carefully pulled the three traction ropes and pulled the balloon back to the stand.
The moment he landed safely, Lao Liu finally felt like he was alive again...
He stood up with force and accepted the cheers from the crowd together with his fourth brother. In this way, the two brothers inadvertently left a significant mark in the history of world aviation.
After the test flight was successful, Zhu Di continued his efforts and led a group of craftsmen to build more than a dozen hot air balloons, one for each work team.
During Qingzhang, choose a sunny day, find a suitable location, and fly the hot air balloon. Together with a telescope and looking from a high place, you can have a clear view of the topography of most of the county, including those hidden in the mountains and valleys.
The fields were completely gone.
The lookout used the simple method taught by the King of Chu to calculate the distance to the hidden field, then marked the direction and sent it to the ground. Immediately, a group of soldiers escorted the field leader to clear the field...
Only in this way can it be done quickly and accurately, with almost no omissions.
The collection of Huangshi and the establishment of Lijia are all progressing in an orderly manner. But there is another heavy burden on Zhu Zhen's shoulders that has not yet been relieved - that is, the large-scale immigration of "Jiangxi to fill Huguang"!
Sometimes, he couldn't help complaining that he was not yet fifteen years old, and the old thieves and elder brothers were exploiting child labor like this. Would his conscience really not hurt?
