Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

In the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up from his chair.

Without saying a word, he ran outside.

That was so exciting and thrilling!

It is understandable that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so happy.

After all, he had just received a secret report saying that Mei Yin had successfully experimented with a steam locomotive!
Moreover, this experimental steam locomotive was very successful.

It already has practical value.

Under such circumstances, how could he not be excited?
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had been looking forward to the steam locomotive for a long time.

Ever since I saw a steam locomotive on the simulator when I was simulating Mei Yin’s life.

He had long liked this thing and had been eager to see it appear in his own Ming Dynasty.

Now, the good son-in-law Mei Yin has finally figured this thing out.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not be happy and excited?
"Sister! Sister! Come on, come on, let's go to Shuangshui Village with Mei Yin.

Our good son-in-law made a steam locomotive!

Let’s go over there and take a good look!”

As he did in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at Kunning Palace as soon as possible.

Looking at Queen Ma, she spoke out excitedly.

The voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's call, Empress Ma immediately went out with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Go towards Mei Yin.

She has also longed for steam trains.

I can't wait to see this magical thing!

In recent times, Queen Ma has been waiting day and night.

Now that she finally got such news, how could Empress Ma not be excited?
Without saying a word, he went to Shuangshui Village with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Along the way, he kept urging people to drive faster.

I really don't want to wait even a moment longer.

Soon, they arrived at Shuangshui Village.

After arriving at Shuangshui Village, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party did not go to Mei Yin's house.

Instead, he went directly to the place where Mei Yin experimented with steam locomotives.

After coming here, the steam train is still running here.

Circle after circle.

After all, Mei Yin's experiment this time was on steam locomotives, covering all aspects.

Not only the speed and pulling force of the steam locomotive were tested, but also the endurance of the steam locomotive.

After all, if a steam locomotive of this level breaks down after running for a few hours or more than a day, it is obviously not capable of doing so.

It didn't meet his requirements for a steam train at all.

So, now steam locomotives are still running continuously.

According to his request, this was the first time the train was running, so it could carry the goods for three days and three nights.

This is barely passing.

Run for three days and three nights, and then carry out some maintenance and repairs.

In this way, steam locomotives also become truly practical.

While he was thinking this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma came over.

Watching the steam locomotive pulling so much cargo at once, moving along the track tirelessly, all you have to do is put coal in it and add water.

Both of them were stunned.

I can't take my eyes away.

No matter how I look at it, I feel it is particularly good.

This thing is really good!
It is truly a powerful weapon that benefits both the country and the people!
With this thing, the Ming Dynasty will truly take a big step forward!

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that the steam locomotive was only the first step.

After the steam engine, there will be more steam things.

The steam locomotive will completely change the Ming Dynasty.

Completely distance the Ming Dynasty from the surrounding countries.

Become the one they look up to!
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't take his eyes away. The more he looked at it, the better it seemed.

No matter how I look at it, I feel that my son-in-law is pleasing to the eye.

Even though he had seen similar things in the simulator before.

But at this time, after seeing these, he still seemed unusually happy.

After all, what we see in the simulation is just an illusion.

Now, Mei Yin has turned the things in the simulator into real things.

Get it out.

Under such circumstances, how could he not be happy?
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Mei Yin many questions.

Fully understand all aspects of steam locomotives.

Later, he even climbed up it himself.

Sit on the carriage and feel the wonderful feeling of the steam train running.

After taking a ride on the steam locomotive, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of praise for it.

The first is stability.

Even if the carriages and ox-drawn carts were on a smooth road, they would still be easily bumpy.

However, when riding a steam locomotive, these bumps can basically be ignored.

Very stable and comfortable.

Another advantage is that the speed is also uniform.

It doesn't speed up or slow down at the same time, and the overall speed is relatively stable.

If you really look at it, the speed of this steam train is not that fast.

Not even as fast as a horse.

However, this thing is really perfect for transportation.

On the one hand, it is because cattle and horses need to eat grass and rest.

Moreover, their high-speed movement cannot last long and will come down.

However, steam trains do not use this.

As long as there is coal and water, these things can move forward continuously at the fastest speed.

It seems that running sixty miles in an hour is not fast now.

But this thing can move forward non-stop all day and all night.

If you run at this speed, you can cover 720 miles in a day!

The most important thing is that this thing can pull so much at one time!
According to his understanding, this thing is still in its early stages.

There will be further improvements in the future, the speed will become faster and more things will be pulled.

How could this not make him happy?

It couldn’t be better!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang came here, the smile on his face has never disappeared.

"You will all have a reward! Ten strings of precious coins each!
Even the worst one can enjoy the treatment of a sergeant!
The highest rank can enjoy the treatment of a hundred households!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he directly rewarded the craftsmen who were responsible for making the steam locomotive.

Not only in terms of money, but also in terms of status!
In today's Ming Dynasty, military power is more important than literature.

Being a soldier is still an honor.

The treatment is also very good.

Nowadays, civil officials naturally bow their heads when meeting military officials.

It was far from the later stage when military generals had to kowtow and call themselves running dogs when meeting civil officials.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang directly gave these people the same treatment as military officers. How could they not be happy?

At this point in time, the craftsmen who are doing research with Mei Yin and making steam locomotives are not short of money.

Overall it's okay.

It was certainly gratifying that Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded each of them with ten strings of precious coins.

However, what makes them happiest is the treatment Zhu Yuanzhang now gives them, which is equivalent to that of the military.

For them, this treatment is what matters most. It is a symbol of great honor!

It is also the most rare!

At this time, how could they not be happy when they heard that the emperor was going to give them such treatment?
Then, one by one, the officials bowed down here to express their gratitude to the emperor.

"Haha, as long as you work hard and make more and better things, we will reward you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone with a smile and spoke out.

It can be seen that he is in a really good mood.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, everyone responded.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mei Yin and said, "Now, you have also made this steam locomotive.

It's time for us to fulfill our promise.

I will confer upon you the title of Shuangshui Hou!"

Mei Yin's title finally had a further rise.

From the previous Shuangshui Earl, he has become the current Shuangshui Marquis.

Although Mei Yin doesn't care too much about these.

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang had bestowed the rewards, and these were all earned fairly through his own abilities.

Well, in this case, it is natural to take it over.

There is no reason to postpone it, you have to endure the hardship.

"If you can continue to maintain this momentum, you can make greater contributions to our Ming Dynasty in the future.

Here, it is not impossible to make you a Duke!"

Zhu Yuanzhang once again painted a big picture for Mei Yin.

This cake is so big and round!

Of course, it’s different from what ordinary people say.

Zhu Yuanzhang's promises were not empty promises.

It's not just talk.

In the future, if Mei Yin can really do these things, he will really be willing to give things!

Why was Zhu Yuanzhang able to make so many soldiers fight for him and follow him to fight bravely against the enemy regardless of life and death?

In addition to strict military discipline, expelling the Tartars, restoring China, etc.

The fact that he was willing to reward his soldiers, keep his word, reward those who had merit and punish those who had faults was also a particularly important reason.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be very stingy in many things on a daily basis.

However, he was never stingy when it came to rewarding those who had made contributions.

Reward if it is deserved.

No discounts at all.

When he said that Mei Yin had done a good job and would give Mei Yin the title of Duke in the future, it was not just empty talk.

In the future, if Mei Yinruo can really produce the things he saw in the simulator, he will really be willing to give them to Duke Mei Yin.

Even if you don't give it yourself, you have to ask Biaoer to give it.

It was not easy to obtain a title in the Ming Dynasty, especially the title of Duke.

There are even fewer who are granted the title of Duke while still alive!

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, from the founding of the country to the present, he only conferred the title of duke on six people.

Among them, the leader was Duke of Korea Li Shanchang.

Apart from these, the remaining dukes were conferred posthumously.

Even Tang He is still only the Marquis of Zhongshan.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to give up the title of Duke for Mei Yin.

From this we can see how good he is to Mei Yin!

Many times, for many things, we cannot just look at what people say, but also how they do it.

Words may lie, but actions cannot.

Upon hearing this, Mei Yin once again thanked his father-in-law Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the same time, he once again showed his old father-in-law that he would also work hard.

Try to get the title of Duke.

Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter and was very happy when he heard this.

As soon as his voice fell, someone came over holding clothes that belonged to the Marquis.

Also brought over was the seal.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already had these things prepared before this.

He was very clear that Mei Yin would definitely be able to figure these out.

So they asked people to prepare the robes and corresponding seals for Marquis Mei Yin in advance.

At this time, I learned that Mei Yin had developed a more practical steam locomotive.

So he brought one of them over.

From this we can see that Zhu Yuanzhang's reward to Mei Yin was sincere and without any falsehood.

Queen Ma personally came to Mei Yin and helped him put on the marquis' robe.

This treatment is simply unparalleled!

Among all the officials in the court, the only one who enjoyed this treatment was Mei Yin!
After putting it on, he looked it up and down and nodded vigorously.

"It looks great! This kind of robe looks best on young people!"

Princess Ningguo and Liu Qiuyan's own husband put on the robe representing the marquis and looked at his handsome appearance.

Everyone's heart melted!

I can't take my eyes away!
I just feel that they made the right choice, this is their beloved one!

Their husbands are so proud and outstanding that no one can compare to them!
The rest of the people present also congratulated Mei Yin.

They were not jealous at all for Mei Yin being able to receive such treatment and be granted a title of nobility.

And I think this is the most normal thing.

This is what Mr. Mei deserves!

Even the lowest-level craftsmen like them can receive rewards from His Majesty.

Not to mention Mr. Mei!
Princess Ningguo was very happy here, and soon took out a lot of money to reward these people.

This can be considered as giving out some money as a gift to share in the good fortune.

Originally, we were happy because steam locomotives were proven to be useful.

Now, with Zhu Yuanzhang coming here and giving rewards to everyone, the atmosphere has become even better!

That night, Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang did not return home.

I just spent the night at Mei Yin's place.

This is a very rare situation.

That night, Mei Yin cooked some dishes himself and had a meal with Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang were in a good mood.

I made an exception and drank a lot of wine.

The wine in Mei Yin is delicious and the food is tasty.

Moreover, now that I am in a good mood due to the happy event, I feel that this meal is even more enjoyable.

I feel more and more that this food is delicious.

Shuangshui Village needs to be visited often...

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma returned to the capital from here.

The first thing he did after returning was to announce to the world the news that Mei Yin was conferred the title of Shuangshui Marquis.

Let everyone know about this happy event!
While Zhu Yuanzhang was doing this, his other son-in-law, Ouyang Lun, also had a look of joy on his face.

Because he has already received accurate news.

After his men arrived there, they made 50,000 strings of cash in one go by trading in tea and salt!

A smug look appeared on his face.

This is just the beginning, and I have already earned so much.

Let’s see how this bastard Mei Yin can compare with me in the future!
