Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1722, Automotive Academy

In the palace, Emperor Hongzhi got up early to exercise.

Ever since his appendicitis was cut, Emperor Hongzhi paid special attention to his physical exercise. Every morning, he would jog for a while, not necessarily fast or intense, just jogging until he sweated slightly. If he persisted for a long time, his body would be healthy. It's getting better and better.

Emperor Hongzhi was jogging on the big square in the palace when Zhu Hou took care of his black Mercedes-Benz approaching.

"Father, come up, come up, I'll show you around twice."

Zhu Houzhao is the master who is truly fearless, and even wants to drive Emperor Hongzhi to make a few laps in person.

"Is this a car?"

Emperor Hongzhi stopped, took the towel handed over by the little eunuch and wiped the sweat on his forehead, then looked at the black car in front of him and said.

"Yes, this is the car. This is definitely a great invention. With it, our Daming people will travel more conveniently in the future."

Zhu Houzhao also nodded quickly, and then introduced it to Emperor Hongzhi in detail.

"Father, didn't I send you a car?"

"Didn't you try it?"

"I don't have the time to take a car like you."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao and was speechless. Do you think everyone is as leisurely as you?
"Hurry up, I'll take you around a couple of times, father, to feel the charm of the car."

Zhu Houzhao also hurriedly greeted him.

"Really?"

"Then try."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao. He was more willing to accept new things now.

Regardless of the persuasion from Xiao Huangmen and the guards around him, he directly sat in the car.

Zhu Houzhao was so excited that he took Emperor Hongzhi to drive around in the palace.

"Don't tell me, this car is much more comfortable to sit in than a four-wheeled carriage, and the speed is also very good?"

Emperor Hongzhi sat in the car, felt it carefully, and was full of praise. This car seems to be really good.

"Yes, this is a great invention."

"With this car, whether it is carrying goods or people, it will become more convenient in the future."

"This car has a lot of horsepower. Although it is just a small internal combustion engine, its power is greater than the power of several horses, and as long as there is oil, it can run continuously for several hours. You can drive from Beijing to Tianjin without taking a breath."

Zhu Houzhao naturally began to exaggerate proudly.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but nodded.

"Also, this internal combustion engine can be used in many ways. It can be used on cultivators and harvesters to create more powerful and convenient cultivators and harvesters. This will be very helpful for our farming in Ming Dynasty."

"It can also be used to drive machines. Compared with internal combustion engines, it is more powerful and stable. The key is that it is more convenient to add fuel."

"You said a lot, but the speed of this car is too fast, and it is easy to kill people."

"I've just read the newspaper. This car has only been out for a long time, and it has already killed someone."

Emperor Hongzhi also said after listening.

"Father, you have to look at things from both sides, right? There are accidents every year with these four-wheeled carriages. Once the horses are frightened, they can easily kill people."

"We can't just use it because it will kill someone."

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said.

"And this car involves many industries. There are thousands of large and small parts. It involves steel, oil refining, machinery and many other industries. It can greatly promote employment and development."

"Of course I know, but this car still needs to be regulated, such as driving regulations, driving regulations, etc., so that accidents and casualties can be greatly reduced."

Emperor Hongzhi asked Zhu Houzhao to stop the car, got out of the car and looked at the car in front of him.

To be honest, this is indeed very good. It is much more comfortable to sit than a four-wheeled carriage, and the speed is fast enough. There are many advantages.

"Well, what your father said makes sense."

"I will go to Liu Jin to discuss the establishment of an automotive academy later on."

"It is not only necessary to study how to build and repair cars, but more importantly, to train qualified car drivers. The speed of this car is too fast, and it is really impossible to mess around."

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin, thought about it and said.

Now this car has a lot of problems. If it is driven for a long time, there will be many problems, and repairing is also a difficult problem.

What he can think of is that it is the same as Liu Jin. The establishment of an automobile academy to train talents for car manufacturing and repair is also to study how to regulate car driving and the car industry.

Hongzhi's last morning court in twenty-five years also ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

There was nothing too big to discuss. After everyone sent New Year blessings to Emperor Hongzhi, they rushed to their homes one by one.

After working for a year, I can finally rest at home for half a month.

Many ministers are even ready to go back to their hometown to take a look within half a month.

This was almost impossible before.

Except for Ding You who wants to go back to his hometown to guard the system, at other times, there is very little chance to go back to his hometown. Some officials' parents are old, and they may not see themselves for ten or eight years in their hometown. On the side of the official's son.

Many even had difficulty seeing their sons until they died. This is the cruelty of being an official in ancient times.

The so-called family, country and world, the country is above the family, and loyalty to the emperor and serving the country is ranked first.

Therefore, the ancient Beijing officials often tried to find a way to bring their parents to live in the capital, so that it was convenient to take care of them, otherwise it would be really difficult to see them once every ten or eight years.

Now that there is an annual leave system, there is a full half a month, plus trains have been connected to many places, and cement roads have been built everywhere, so it becomes possible to go home and visit my parents.

Therefore, many officials hurriedly prepared to go back to their hometowns to visit their parents in their hometowns as soon as they came to the court. In Ming Dynasty, the way of filial piety was the most important time. The Son of Heaven also pays attention to ruling the world with filial piety.

Liu Jin walked slowly outside the palace. Today, Emperor Hongzhi didn't even plan to hold a small meeting, so that everyone could go home happily for the new year.

I will wait until the end of the Chinese New Year to discuss anything, and everything that needs to be done has already been done.

"Old Liu, old Liu~"

As soon as he walked outside the palace, Zhu Houzhao came over in his black Mercedes-Benz and shouted excitedly.

"Get in the car, get in the car, I'll take you around the capital."

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao. To be honest, he really didn’t dare to ride in the car driven by this guy. He drove too fast, and the current car technology is also very primitive. Whether this car is reliable or not, I don’t have much confidence in my heart .

"Don't worry, I'll drive slowly."

Zhu Houzhao seemed to see Liu Jin's concerns, and he also emphasized.

"Okay~"

Liu Jin had no choice but to sit on it.

Zhu Houzhao now never forgets to drive his Mercedes-Benz wherever he goes, and he is completely obsessed with driving.

This caused great trouble to the guards and eunuchs in charge of protecting Zhu Houzhao. The carriage could not keep up with the speed of the car, so they had to buy several cars to follow Zhu Houzhao all the time.

"Old Liu, I think we have to set up an automobile college to train talents who can build cars, and at the same time can train talents who maintain cars, and can also study and standardize the rules and regulations related to cars. This car has not been out for a long time. There have been several accidents and people have been killed.”

"If this continues, there may be a large number of people who oppose cars."

Zhu Houzhao drove Liu Jin to the Mercedes-Benz bicycle factory in Xincheng, South District. On the way, he also chatted with Liu Jin about setting up an automobile academy.

"His Royal Highness is very thoughtful. We really should set up an automobile academy to train professional automobile talents."

When Liu Jin heard this, he was also slightly surprised. Zhu Houzhao was able to think of starting an automobile school, which seemed to be influenced by himself.

I open colleges every now and then to train some talents. Of course, new learning is developing rapidly, and more colleges and universities are needed to accommodate new learning talents to continue their studies.

There are still too few colleges run by themselves now, and all the people in Ming Dynasty are required to run them, not to mention hundreds of colleges like later generations, there must be more than one hundred colleges and universities.

"Haha, let me just say, this car definitely needs professional talents, and the manufacture of cars requires professional talents, as does the maintenance of cars. A complete supporting industry must be established to make cars truly develop."

With Liu Jin's approval, Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed happily, and then said: "This time, I will contribute to the automotive academy alone, so you can take a good look."

"Humph!"

"I've already decided on a name. It's called Daming Royal Automobile Academy. It specializes in cultivating talents who make cars, and studies how to make better and more beautiful cars!"

"Daming Royal Automobile Academy?"

When Liu Jin heard it, he couldn't help laughing immediately. Is it a bit wrong to have the word "Royal" on your face? The car is really not that tall.
