Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 404 Su Jing’s vision

"Bowen, when you say that, we feel a little strange."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This kid Su Jing knows a lot about the sufferings of the people, but he also seems to know a lot about some enjoyment things."

Su Jing's impression on Zhu Yuanzhang is now somewhat fragmented.

Because the things of wealthy people usually have to be cultivated from an early age, and it is difficult for such people to sympathize with the hardships of ordinary people.

Liu Bowen smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually very simple."

"Oh, Bowen, tell me."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

Liu Bowen replied: "Uncle Ren Yuan is a strange person in the world. I don't need to say much about his outstanding achievements. But I believe that the most powerful thing about Ren Yuan is his vision."

"With a broad vision, everything in the world can be accommodated. Whether it is poverty, wealth, high or low, beauty or ugliness, or wisdom or stupidity, Ren Yuanbo can blend into it with a broad heart. There is a great realm in it. Veteran ministers are not as good as Ren Yuanbo It’s far away.”

Liu Bowen's words shocked both Lao Zhu and Queen Ma.

No matter how much I praised Su Jing before, it was always a meaningful statement and a detailed description of specific things.

But now this statement is a bit false.

It's just that both Lao Zhu and Queen Ma know Liu Bowen's character, and he will not lie.

In other words, Liu Bowen really thinks so.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Bowen, do you think your opinion of Su Jing is too high? No matter how you calculate it, he is just a businessman. No matter how big his vision is, how big can he be?"

No matter how you say it, Lao Zhu is an emperor, and as far as he can see, he can see the world.

When it comes to vision, Lao Zhu naturally won't convince anyone.

However, before Liu Bowen could refute, Empress Ma said: "Your Majesty, this is wrong. I think Mr. Su's vision that Uncle Chengyi said may be more in history and time."

"I have heard a lot of Mr. Su's words, and many of them involve the rise and fall of history and the change of dynasties. This kind of vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu's face froze slightly.

Liu Bowen on the side immediately said: "What the Empress said is true. Uncle Ren Yuan's vision is not only in the Ming Dynasty."

Empress Ma smiled and said, "I just said it casually. I don't have to be sincere. After all, I am just a woman."

Liu Bowen cupped his hands and said: "If the Queen is born as a man, she will definitely be a strange man in the world. Women should not be used to describe the Queen."

"Even Uncle Ren Yuan told the old minister that the Queen's merits to the Ming Dynasty are immeasurable."

Regarding Queen Ma's praise, Liu Bowen was sincere.

Although Empress Ma was born as a girl, she had learned to read and write since she was a child.

In the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising, his role was huge.

Even now, as Queen Ma, she still plays an important role as the lubricant between Lao Zhu and the officials.

"Really? Mr. Su said that to me?"

Queen Ma was quite surprised, but the joy on her face said it all.

Liu Bowen nodded and said: "I don't dare to deceive the Queen. Uncle Ren Yuan indeed said so."

"And Uncle Ren Yuan also said..."

At this point, Liu Bowen was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him unconsciously.

"What are you talking about, Bowen, what are you hiding?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked immediately.

Liu Bowen lowered his head and said nothing, and Queen Ma said: "Your Majesty, this is what Mr. Su said about me. Your Majesty, please don't force me."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy. He glanced at Liu Bowen and said, "It's definitely not our kind words! In this way, we leave our words here and won't offend anyone because of what you said next. Bowen, you can say it."

Regarding Su Jing's evaluation of himself, Lao Zhu felt really itchy.

Empress Ma covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty said so, then please tell me, Uncle Cheng."

Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Yes, the Queen."

Liu Bowen paused for a moment and said: "Uncle Ren Yuan once said that your Majesty rose up to seize the world, personally led the troops, and killed decisively. This was a good thing for the creation of the world. But when the Ming Dynasty was established and the world was defended, something would happen. On top of that, the Empress is kind-hearted, knows the general situation, understands the benefits and disadvantages, and more importantly, can hold His Majesty at the critical moment, so that His Majesty can put away his murderous intentions and preserve the talents of the Ming Dynasty. This is the Empress's influence on the Ming Dynasty. Great achievement!”

After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he lowered his head again.

This is what Su Jing said, not him.

Of course, with Lao Zhu's guarantee in front of Queen Ma, there is no need to worry about anything anymore.

"Okay! This kid Su Jing is scolding us for killing indiscriminately! Do we like killing people so much?"

Lao Zhu said a little annoyed.

It is only three years since Hongwu, and Zhu Biao is still doing well. Lao Zhu asks himself that apart from killing corrupt officials a little too harshly, there is nothing else.

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Mr. Su just said it casually. Your Majesty doesn't need to care so much."

"Hmph! If we have a chance in the future, we will definitely punish him!"

Lao Zhu couldn't directly target Su Jing, so he could only say harsh words.

Liu Bowen lowered his head, did not speak or pick up food, but his heart felt much more settled.

Although he didn't understand why, Liu Bowen could not feel any murderous intention towards Su Jing in Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and words.

"Okay, okay, I'm going out to eat today, just be happy, what are you talking about?"

Queen Ma's expression changed when she saw that Lao Zhu was not giving up.

Lao Zhu immediately sensed the change in Queen Ma's attitude, and immediately nodded and said: "Eat, eat."

Liu Bowen then started picking up vegetables again.

But after just a few bites, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "By the way, why didn't I see you leave for the things we asked you to do last time?"

Liu Bowen stopped his chopsticks and said, "What your Majesty said was to ask the old minister to persuade Ren Yuanbo to accept becoming a teacher?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Exactly this. At that time, we remember that you agreed very happily, but until now, we don't seem to have heard about it. What did you do?"

Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty, since I have promised your Majesty, I will naturally find a way to do it, but there are some things that cannot be rushed, so please wait patiently."

"Forget it, we won't rush you. This matter is really not that urgent. Su Jing is very lazy. This is not an easy task. Just take your time."

Zhu Yuanzhang also saw clearly. After all, he tried every means to get Su Jing to become an official in the court but failed.

Liu Bowen should be given more time now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Liu Bowen bowed his hands and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Squeak!

At this time, the door of the private room suddenly opened.

The three of them looked towards the door and saw King Qin Zhu Ping walking in and said to the three of them:
"After my son paid homage to his father, the emperor and his mother, he met Master Liu." After all, he opened his own shop, and Zhu Xi took it very seriously.

The news that Lao Zhu brought Queen Ma and Liu Bowen to dinner soon reached Zhu Xi's ears. He did not dare to delay and came over immediately.

"Second brother, you are very well informed about this information. We dressed up in disguise today, but we couldn't hide it from you for long!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile. He was not angry because of Zhu Ping's appearance, but was a little proud.

My second son is indeed much better than before.

"Replying to my father, I only follow Mr. Su's teachings. I don't dare to judge people by their appearance. They are just guests when they come and go."

Zhu Xi bowed and replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this is reasonable. Clothes and appearance do not determine anything. A truly capable person will not stick to appearance. You have done a good job in this regard."

"Thank you very much, Father, for your appreciation. I am very happy."

Zhu Ming's face showed joy, and he continued: "I wonder if my father, mother, and uncle Chengyi are satisfied with the food today. If there are any deficiencies, I must tell you so that I can supervise improvements and make this Jinling Hotel better." The branches are doing better.”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "You are becoming more and more like a businessman."

Empress Ma also smiled and said, "Both things are good, Ming'er. We had a great time eating today."

Zhu Ming said: "Mother, I am now the owner of a restaurant. You can't praise me just because I am your son. I am just running a restaurant for the first time, so I will never be perfect. If you want to make progress, you need precious resources." Opinion, that’s an important thing.”

"Mr. Su said that no one is born perfect, and things are the same. Only by learning lessons and continuous improvement bit by bit can we become more perfect and powerful."

As soon as Zhu Xi said this, Queen Ma couldn't help but put away the smile on her face.

At this moment, Zhu Xi actually gave her a grown-up feeling.

Liu Bowen said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin really impressed the old ministers. It seems that in the future His Highness the King of Qin will be a vassal, and we will be able to protect both sides. It is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Fang's performance really exceeded Liu Bowen's imagination.

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Xi, and after a change in his expression, he said: "Second brother, since you can say this, I will give you the advice you want."

"My son and I can't ask for more."

Zhu Xiang bowed, ready to accept the advice of his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The service in this branch is good, but there is still a gap between it and the Jinling Hotel in Lishui County. The sound insulation effect of the room is much worse. When I came in, I saw that the tables in the lobby were a little crowded, and it was not very convenient to move around."

"As for the most important dish, there's basically nothing wrong with the taste. It's no different from what we had before. It's pretty good."

In fact, Lao Zhu is also a careless person in life, and his opinion was just considered.

Zhu Xi said seriously: "I know this, and I will make improvements based on these opinions."

Then Queen Ma and Liu Bowen each put forward some opinions, and Zhu Pengna listened carefully and accepted them.

Of course, Zhu Xi didn't stay long and left after listening to his opinions.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin is really impressive to me!"

Liu Bowen said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Uncle Ren Yuan's teaching ability is probably unparalleled by anyone in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Bo Wen, we didn't know this for a long time, otherwise why would we let you do that?"

"We have figured it out. Su Jing's greatest ability should be to cultivate many talents for the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to become strong or prosperous."

Liu Bowen cupped his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Empress Ma smiled and said, "It's rare that Your Majesty and Uncle Chengyi have reached a consensus on Mr. Su's matter."

The three of them continued to eat, and now in Lishui County, Su Jing had already prepared two tires.

He's now going to take it for a test drive.

For safety reasons, Su Jing chose an ox cart, which was slow and the danger would be greatly reduced.

At the same time, ox carts are generally used to carry goods, and most of them are flat carts. In this way, when testing the limits of tires, it can be done more gradually.

On a county road in the suburbs, Su Jing carefully installed the tires and put the load aside.

First, check the vehicle when it is empty. The deformation of the tires is very slight. After all, the weight of the empty vehicle is very low and part of it has been removed by the cow.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Su Jing's improvement.

As the width of the tire increases, the area in contact with the ground increases, which can greatly reduce pressure.

Then some other substances are added to the rubber to enhance its firmness.

Su Jing climbed onto the bullock cart and carefully observed the changes in the tires. It could be seen that they were obviously deformed.

"It seems that the intensity still needs to be increased."

Su Jing said lightly that if the car is empty and loaded with people, it will deform greatly, and the tires must not pass the test.

However, Su Jing still wanted to test the limits of the tires, so he swung the reins and controlled the ox cart to move forward.

The bullock cart moved forward slowly. Although it was a county road, it was not that flat. Su Jing sat on it, and the bumpiness was indeed reduced a lot.

"It's okay, it's somewhat effective."

Su Jing nodded slightly, and felt that the effect of this tire was pretty good.

After a round trip, Su Jing got out of the car and took a closer look at the damage situation. There was no problem, so she picked up two boxes and put them on the bullock cart.

One is fifty pounds, two are one hundred pounds, plus Su Jing.

This time, the rubber tires deformed a lot, but they were still able to hold up.

"It seems that the maximum weight of [-] kilograms is reaching the limit."

Su Jing sighed, and could only say that the result was average, without much surprise.

With a flick of the reins, the ox cart began to move forward. The cargo gained one hundred kilograms, but the speed of the ox cart did not slow down much.

This weight is still far from the limit of a cow.

However, Su Jing could clearly observe that under this weight, the deformation of the rubber tire was greater. At the same time, due to the manufacturing process, the density of the tire was not uniform, so there was a strange feeling when the ox cart was traveling.

"Good guy, it seems that the distance can really be used, there is still quite a distance!"

Su Jing shook her head slightly and said: "The load-bearing of the tires that I rub with my own hands is always a problem!"

Load bearing?

Su Jing's eyes suddenly lit up and she laughed at herself: "What's wrong with my brain? Why do I always think about installing tires on horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts? Why can't I just build a bicycle?"

The structure of a bicycle is, to put it bluntly, very simple.

In terms of production, except for the difficulty of the transmission device between the chain, gears and pedals, there are not many other technical problems.
