Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 561: Go to the Zongrenfu (Subscribe please!!)
"what?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ouyang Lun speaking seriously, he quickly asked.

This is not the first day Zhu Yuanzhang has known Ouyang Lun. The fact that the latter could say this so seriously shows that this thing is really useful.

So you must ask clearly.

Zhu Biao and Empress Dowager Ma also looked at Ouyang Lun curiously. They also wanted to know what Ouyang Lun was going to take out.

"Your Majesty, I didn't bring that thing with me. If Your Majesty wants to see it, please go to the clan house!"

"What I have demonstrated will surely prove the power of science and technology."

Ouyang Lun said.

kindness! ?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. You know, he rarely saw Ouyang Lun speak so confidently.

Could it be that Ouyang Lun wanted him to watch the "open-air shadow play"?

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something and subconsciously looked at Empress Ma. It was obvious that Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang had the same idea this time.

"Hmph, Ouyang Lun, don't try to fool me. I know your tricks, don't I?"

"It's okay to take a look, but we will never let you be shocked!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with full confidence.

If Zhu Yuanzhang saw the "open-air shadow play" for the first time, he would definitely be shocked, but he had seen the "open-air shadow play" many times through the underground passage between Taile Palace and Zongrenfu, so how could he be shocked! !

But later, I can pretend that it is the first time I see "open-air shadow play", but don't show a shocked expression, so that I can make a request to Ouyang Lun!

For example, if Ouyang Lun plays the next shadow play, he can watch the next episode in advance!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became a little excited.

"If the emperor is not shocked, it would be a blessing for us ministers, and it would be a good thing!"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

Hard mouth!

We'll see if you're still stubborn then.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ouyang Lun's calm expression, he felt very uncomfortable and thought to himself that he must teach Ouyang Lun a lesson later.

"Sister, let's go to the clan house today!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the Emperor!" said Empress Dowager Ma.

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Biao'er, Lu Shi, and Lu Ben, you all should come with us!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang sat up from his chair and strode towards the door.

Zhu Biao, Empress Dowager Ma, Lady Lu, and Lu Ben naturally hurried to follow.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was almost at the gate, he finally reacted and quickly turned to Ouyang Lun and said, "Ouyang Lun, why are you still standing there? Take us to see your new invention!"

"If you're late and miss our chance to see the new invention, we won't forgive you!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and left.

Zhu Biao, Empress Dowager Ma and others also hurried to catch up!
Watching Zhu Yuanzhang and the others leave the Taile Hall and walk towards his clan residence, Ouyang Lun shook his head helplessly, and then hurriedly followed them.
Zongren Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Dowager Ma, Zhu Biao, Lu's father and daughter and others stared at the empty space with wide eyes and stupid expressions.

I saw some kind of track laid on the open space. The track was not very big, and there were boxes placed on the track, and these boxes were all connected.

"Is this the thing you, Ouyang Lun, showed me as a treasure?" Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes wide and asked. At this moment, he felt like he had bought something that was not what he asked for.

The tone was quite unfriendly when asking this question.

Ouyang Lun nodded, "Yes, this is what I want to show you, Your Majesty!"

"What's so good about this?" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the things in front of him with disdain in his eyes and said, "You just put an iron ring on the ground and these wooden boxes. What use are they?"

"Not only is it a waste of iron, it's also a waste of wood!"

"We can use this iron to forge weapons and this wood to make fire, both are more useful than what you have!"

She was already angry with Ouyang Lun, and on top of that, Ouyang Lun didn't see the "open-air shadow play" that she wanted to see when she came here, so naturally she tried every possible way to talk to Ouyang Lun.

"Brother-in-law, I also think this thing doesn't seem to be of much use."

Zhu Biao also walked to Ouyang Lun and spoke softly.

Seeing this, the mother and daughter, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu Ben, were secretly happy and looked forward to Ouyang Lun's downfall.

Queen Mother Ma also took a look, as if trying to find something acceptable, but after looking for a long time she gave up.

Just when everyone at the scene was pessimistic, Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor, you can't judge a person by appearance. Please give me a little time to introduce him to everyone!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and then said: "Ouyang Lun, we know that you are good at speaking, and you can fool a lot of people every time. Sometimes even I will be spared."

"But I'm afraid you've miscalculated this time. Even if you can say something fancy, in my opinion it's just a pile of scrap copper and iron plus wood that's only good for burning!"

"Father, why don't we listen to what my brother-in-law has to say first?!" Although Zhu Biao was not optimistic about the situation in front of him, he still spoke for Ouyang Lun.

"Zhongba, Biao'er is right. You should listen to what Ouyang says first. It's not too late to express your opinion then. If this thing is really useful, won't you lose face?" Queen Ma followed.

"You guys..." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little depressed.

Then he looked at Ouyang Lun and said, "Since Biao'er and the girl are talking to you, I'll give you a chance to introduce this piece of junk!"

Ouyang Lun did not argue with Zhu Yuanzhang, but pointed and said: "This thing is called - Train!"

"car!?"

"Or a train?!"

"Ha ha!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the first sentence Ouyang Lun said, he burst into laughter.

"It really makes me laugh to death!"

"You can even call this a car, and you shamelessly named it a train?!"

"Horse-drawn carts and ox-drawn carts can run and carry things, but your cart can only be used as a box to hold things. How can it run?"

"Just a few wooden boxes tied together, and they can run away? Didn't you, Ouyang Lun, say that everything should be based on science? Is this what you call science?!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was mocking him to the utmost.

Ouyang Lun calmly signaled to the operator in the distance, and then the operator began to operate. He added a small shovel of black stones into the locomotive and then lit the furnace.

It didn't take long.

Black smoke actually came out of the locomotive, and then, driven by the locomotive, a series of wooden boxes began to move.

When everyone saw this scene, they were stunned. "He really started running."

“This is witchcraft!”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him with wide eyes. He was about to continue mocking Ouyang Lun, but now he swallowed the words back.

"Brother-in-law, tell me quickly, how did you do it? No, how did this train get going? There was no one pulling or pushing it, and there were no oxen or horses to be seen, so how could it move?!!"

Zhu Biao was like a curious baby at this moment, asking excitedly.

"In reply to your Majesty, the power source of this train relies on the internal combustion engine, which is a device that converts fire energy into kinetic energy, thereby driving the wheels to rotate, and the source of fire energy is burning coal!"

“That’s where physics comes in!”

"It's called a train because it's powered by fire. It's easier to understand why it's called a train powered by fire!"

Ouyang Lun explained slowly.

"People domesticated cattle and horses to make them into carts, so we have ox carts and horse carts, and you, my brother-in-law, domesticated fire, so we created trains!!"

When Zhu Biao thought of this, he looked at Ouyang Lun as if he saw a god.

Others also looked at Ouyang Lun in amazement.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the train, then sneered and said in an unconvinced tone: "It's just such a small thing, what can it be used for? It's just a decoration."

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun did not answer and waved again.

Finally the train stopped in front of everyone.

“Why don’t you go up and experience it for yourself!”

After Ouyang Lun finished speaking, he walked up first and stood at the front of the train. Seeing Ouyang Lun standing up, Zhu Biao and Empress Dowager Ma also walked up.

"Queen, father-in-law, you also come up."

Lu Shi and Lu Ben, father and daughter, originally did not want to come up, but when Zhu Biao called them, they had no choice but to come up.

"Father, come up!"

Zhu Biao shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it.

"Zhongba, I'm afraid you don't dare to come up?" Empress Dowager Ma said lightly.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately unhappy, "Don't dare to come up? Are we afraid of this?"

After saying that, he lifted his legs and got on the train.

"Okay, everyone, get ready, our train is about to leave!"

After saying that, Ouyang Lun began to control the train.

As shovelful of coal was added into the furnace, the speed of the train became faster and faster!

"So fast!"

At first, everyone was shocked by the amazing speed, but they soon discovered that even at a faster speed, the train was running smoothly!

While controlling the train, Ouyang Lun said, "Actually, this is just an experimental train. It's only one-eighth the size of a normal train. You can call it a small train!"

Even though he was already amazed by the train, Zhu Yuanzhang still said stubbornly: "A toy is just a toy. What's the point of making it bigger?"

"I have figured out that if you want your train to run faster, you have to use the rails on the ground. I still don't believe it. You want to lay rails all over the ground of Ming Dynasty. This is simply a fantasy!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Zhu Biao's originally excited expression suddenly dimmed. When he confirmed that this train was fast and stable, and could pull a lot of things, he actually began to think in his mind that it would be great if this thing could replace ox carts and horse carts.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's words brought him back to reality.

"Brother-in-law, what the emperor said is very right. If this train cannot be popularized on a large scale, it seems that its value is not that great. It is still very good to build one in the yard at home and let the children sit on it to amuse them."

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao said this, Ouyang Lun immediately stopped the train and left.

This left everyone at the scene confused.

"Haha, we hit Ouyang Lun in the sore spot, he couldn't stand it and left!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

It was the first time he had seen such a situation. He thought Ouyang Lun had been exposed by him and was unable to face them so he left in shame.

"This Prince Consort Ouyang is so rude. The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and the Queen are all here, but he left alone! I have to report him!" Seeing the opportunity, Lu Ben immediately threw the stone in the back.

"Father, although this train is not as useful as imagined, it is still an amazing thing. I think it is no less useful than the wooden ox and horse invented by Zhuge Liang! It will be very useful when necessary. Why do you belittle it so much, Father?"

Zhu Biao said.

"Zhongba, you are jealous! You are jealous that Ouyang is smart!" Empress Dowager Ma followed.

"Uh..." Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and felt that he had gone too far. He said in a weaker tone, "Ouyang Lun never admitted defeat in the past. He was the one who made me angry, not me. I didn't expect him to be so unreasonable today!"

"But if you want us to apologize to that guy Ouyang Lun, it's impossible!"

"It's obviously him who can't bear it!"

At this moment, Ouyang Lun came back and said unhappily, "Grand Emperor, who are you saying can't bear it?!"

Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes and continued, "I just went to get a map, why do you say I ran away?"

"You are right, the Emperor. I want to build railways all over the Ming Dynasty. Take a look. This is the planned railway route map of the Ming Dynasty!"

"As long as we lay the rails according to this railway route map, we can connect the important towns of Daming. This is similar to building a highway, but after the railway is built, it will not only enable large-scale public transportation, but also large-scale transportation of materials at one time!"

"It will greatly reduce the time and loss of long-distance transportation, and it will also be safer!!"

"Let alone traveling a thousand miles a day, even traveling two thousand miles a day is not a problem. Just imagine, thousands or even tens of thousands of people traveling a thousand miles a day at the same time, what kind of concept is this?"

"Today in the capital, we will reach the border tomorrow!!"

As Ouyang Lun said this, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Their eyes were wide open and they kept looking back and forth between the map and the train.

The scene described by Ouyang Lun has already appeared in my mind.

Can you travel a thousand miles a day now?

Of course I can do it.

Use the best horses and make them run as fast as they can. In the end, the horses will die and the people will be dead too.

The train carries thousands of people, running smoothly on the rails and arriving easily.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ouyang Lun, his eyes full of disbelief.

As much as he had looked down on the train just now, he was as shocked at this moment.

This is not trash, it is a magical tool that can change many things!!!
