Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 873 The Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens
Speaking of this, Truss shook his head and sighed: "In the early days of World War II, I hated war very much. At that time, I proposed a design principle for a very new type of weapon. I called it 'Light of Peace', because this Weapons used for border defense can effectively prevent aggression, avoid wars, and maintain world peace. But this is just my wishful thinking. After I proposed this idea, the media first described the "Light of Peace" as a "Light of Death" , this concentrated particle beam can kill millions of people in one blow.I didn't expect that it was because of the media's publicity that the death ray technology has attracted the attention of countries all over the world. I don't know what method they have adopted, but when I was not prepared, they secretly stole part of the design schematic diagram of the death ray. What is the current data? I don't know which countries they are distributed in, but what is certain is that they must include the FBI of the United States and the KGB of the Soviet Union.Later, I heard through secret channels that the Soviet Union had made initial progress before the end of World War II, and a scientist in Cleveland, USA also made it after many experiments.Alas, the death ray weapon was made to resist the war. Unexpectedly, it was finally researched by a country with ulterior motives and planned to be applied to the battlefield. "

Then Guan Xuqing visited some of Tesla's gizmos. Tesla also presented the emperor with a remote-controlled toy car invented by himself. Apart from lamenting the energy of this perverted superman, Guan Xuqing really couldn't understand the magic of this world. Many things are fundamental to science. It cannot be explained, and a superman like Newton also turned to theology at the end. Did he give up because he could not explain science?Or did he find a real rationale in theology?Future generations can only guess.

Guan Xuqing agreed to Truss' request to expand the laboratory, knowing that Truss was very busy, so he didn't bother him to do research, and took a look at other scientists by the way.Under the guidance and explanation of Pu Yin, the dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Guan Xuqing gained a new understanding of the entire laboratory.This laboratory in the Chiba Islands is no longer dominated by foreign scientists. Most of the experimental work can be done by Chinese scientists themselves. However, high-tech research requires Madame Curie, John Nolan and the like. Science gurus lead.However, this is already a major advance in the empire's technology, and it is also what Guan Xuqing dreams of the most.It took so many years of time and hard work, and now it is a small achievement.

The entire Chiba Islands laboratory now has more than 5000 people, not counting those who have been transferred to the Northeast to preside over industrial construction. Among them, there are more than 1000 foreign experts, scholars, and scientific researchers. Their Chinese assistants With more than 1 students, almost everyone brought at least ten assistants and students. This is also a way of stealing teachers deliberately arranged by Guan Xuqing.

After inspecting the Chiba Islands laboratory, Guan Xuqing took Zhao Bingjun and Pu Yin back to Beijing. Before they could sit still, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report that all the gardens in Beijing had been repaired and completed, and they were waiting for the emperor to take some time off. Time to go and see.

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'll go as soon as I can. This time Li Hongzao and those people didn't show up to criticize me. The money for the garden was allotted from India, and I earned it from the war. He, Li Hongzao Even if you can speak eloquently, you can’t say anything.”

At this time, the weather has entered July, and Beijing is scorchingly hot. Guan Xuqing was bored in the Forbidden City. On this day, he brought Queen Jingfen, Concubine Duan, Concubine De, Concubine Lan, De Ling, Rong Ling, and those who often stayed in the palace. Several elder brothers and princesses, as well as respectable palace officials came to the newly completed Changchun Garden to escape the heat.

Guan Xuqing lives in Tanningju, the upper study is located in Yunsongxuan, and Xiao De'an stays in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.More than a dozen eunuchs including Wang Shang and Xiao De Zhang went to the garden to accompany them. Only Xiao De'an and a group of unemployed eunuchs were left in the Yangxin Hall to guard the empty hall. More patrolling, gambling and drinking.Eunuchs and ordinary officials, except for the difference of being castrated, have many ideas in the same way, they want to be free and rich, and they also want to be pampered.Xiao De'an and Xiao De Zhang entered the palace together, but now Xiao De'an seemed to climb on top of Xiao De Zhang and became the chief eunuch. Xiao De Zhang was naturally unconvinced, but Guan Xuqing's control over eunuchs was the strictest in all ages. As long as the eunuchs make mistakes, they will be punished and punished without mercy.Even Xiao De'an had to be cautious in front of the emperor, if he made a mistake, he would be beaten with a stick immediately.

Therefore, if you are not convinced, you are not convinced. Whether the emperor's affairs are big or small, Xiao Dezhang will never dare to be negligent. Seeing the yellow box sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he immediately prepares the car, takes a few young eunuchs, and immediately rushes to Xiyuanchang Spring Garden, dismount in front of the Shuangzhakou Wanshou Wujiang Gate.

Today's Changchun Garden is much different from what it used to be. In fact, it has been integrated into the vast and huge Yuanmingyuan.Together with Xishan Yuquan Mountain, the stars are scattered.A few years ago, Guan Xuqing originally planned to dismantle all the gardens, re-plan, and import all the best gardens in the world. However, Li Hongzao, the representative of Qingliu, strongly opposed Xiong Xiling, who advocated repairing gardens. Guan Xuqing, the "lord who is not Yao and Shun", is magnanimous. Not only did he not punish him, but he also praised Li Hongzao as a direct minister, but he did not give up on the matter of repairing the garden.After several battles in Asia, the territory of the empire expanded again and again, and India’s natural resources and minerals were continuously shipped to China. The pockets of the empire suddenly swelled up again. Guan Xuqing immediately ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to restart the garden repair plan, but did not demolish it. Instead of building, the gardens in various places are connected into one piece, and they are added to each other year by year.

Despite such a reduction in scale, this is also the largest project since Qin Shihuang built the Afang Palace, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, and Emperor Qianlong built the Old Summer Palace.Xiao Dezhang got out of the car and looked north. The weather was so hot, but he still saw the endless traffic, pulling bricks, sand and lime along the official road. The thickest wood can reach more than ten feet in diameter, and the thinnest wood needs to be embraced by two people, one pile after another, stacked along Haizi like a small hill, rolling up and down.Under the scorching sun, teams of peasants, about 500 people in each team, are shirtless and use rolling logs to carry large stones. The supervisors are commanding with swinging small yellow flags, and there are heavy lifting machines rumbling. The loud sound made people's ears hurt.Xiao Dezhang shook his head, sighed, and entered the Wanshou Wujiang Gate.Seeing that the guard on duty at the gate is Battelle, Xiao De Zhang smiled and said, "Master Ba, are you always on duty?"

"The one who gave the yellow box to Long Live?" Battelle stretched out his hand with a blank expression on his face and said, "The brand!"

"Bao Ye, we meet often!"

"brand!"

Xiao Dezhang secretly cursed a son of a bitch, and smiled helplessly.Battelle was a talent discovered by Guan Xuqing at the Mongolian Naadam Conference back then, and he was promoted from a lowly Mongolian slave to an imperial guard in one fell swoop. Therefore, in Battelle's eyes, he would not recognize anyone except the emperor, and would rather risk his life than let the emperor Shed a hair.Even Liang Qichao forgot to bring his badge once, and was blocked outside the gate of Qianqing, waiting for someone to send him from the mansion before he let him go.In the past, Xiao Dezhang only heard that Battelle had a tough face, but now that he met him, he knew it was true, so he forced to move a few boxes into his left pocket, freed up his right hand and took out his waist card for Battelle to examine, and said with a smile: " No bodyguard can compare to your loyalty! You still have to be promoted to a first-class bodyguard!" Battelle couldn't tell whether he was praising or sarcasm, and said: "Your Majesty, go see the minister at Yunsongxuan this afternoon!"

Xiao Dezhang heard that his Chinese language was weird, wanted to laugh but didn't dare, bowed his waist as a salute, and went straight into the garden.After passing Danningju, go westward along the bamboo forest path for about half a mile, and then pass through an old cypress forest, a century-old masson pine tree that is so green that it is black, half-covering a palace, there is Yunsong Xuan.Although the box was not heavy and the garden was cool, Xiao Dezhang was still sweating from walking.I saw Xiao De'an fanning his fan and instructing several palace servants to carry the cabinet. When he saw Xiao De Zhang approaching, he smiled and said, "I have a decree just now. Mr. Feng, Mr. Liang, Mr. Xiong, Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhao , go to Yingtai to wait for Shengjia, please go there!"

Yingtai, Xiaode Zhang has been there, it turned out to be a scene in Changchun Garden.An island in the middle surrounded by water on all sides, according to the topography of the island, water pavilions and pavilions are built, trees and flowers are widely planted, and a nine-curved Hanyu long bridge leads directly from the shore to the I-shaped main hall in the center of the island.Changing the meeting there is naturally a way to cool off.But Xiao Dezhang was a little tired from walking, thinking that there was still two miles to go, so he said to Xiao De'an with a smile: "Send me two people to help me, the distance is not important, hold these boxes , my arms are sore."

"It's hard for me." Little De'an raised his thin eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "The servants in this palace are all carrots and pits. Look, which one is idle?"

Xiao De'an was already full of anger when he entered the garden, Battelle can't afford to offend you, you Xiao De'an are just doing the same job as me, and you are so low-minded!Feeling ruthless in his heart, he still smiled on his face and said, "You didn't become an official, so you started arguing with me about being an official. It's a total of two miles. Did the radish go away? Help!"
