Chapter 1072 Arithmetic
It seems that in the emperor's consciousness, things should be carried on the back of Huode Xingjun, so it is called Xuanwu.

Huode Xingjun has great powers, and it is against his identity to ask him to drag a cart like a mule and a donkey.

It was getting late, and although the emperor was impatient, the Huode Xingjun was too big to be sent to the military room of the Qianqing Palace. The room was equipped with a full set of lamps by the emperor, which can be as bright as day at night.

Other palace rooms have a light bulb or a few kerosene lamps, and candles are used for most of the night lighting... The emperor is different. The emperor's military room is equipped with nine light bulbs, which are very bright.

Of course, this incident was also criticized by the courtiers, and it was used as evidence of the emperor's extravagance and waste, and they advised the emperor to be frugal by saying that the first emperor was reluctant to eat pies.

However, Emperor Wanli was very aggressive, so he just laughed and said in a frenzied manner: I eat nine pies a day, how about it?
By the way, he showed off his mathematical skills to the courtiers: The first emperor made 50 taels of pancakes, and I had nine pancakes worth two coins. Is this my extravagance and waste?

Finally, I ended with a rhetorical question: The first emperor made a pancake for 50 taels, where are you?
Ever since Qin Tianjian talked about the relationship between heaven and man, after listening to Chen Mu's words, the emperor used other people's spears to attack other people's shields again and again. Attack him with the induction between heaven and man; when you meet someone who loves to talk about the law of the ancestors, use the law of the ancestors to reply.

When it comes to anti-corruption, there is really no one in the world who is more powerful than the current emperor. After all, this emperor doesn't care about corrupt eunuchs, even his money-grubbing grandpa.

Uncle Wu Qing, Li Wei, Empress Dowager Li's father, was greedy for 20 taels of winter clothes in Ji Town first, and then 40 taels of tent money in the Beiyang Army Mansion. The emperor wanted to kill his grandfather.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't persuade him. Of course, the emperor still gave Zhang Ge old face. He didn't bother him, and taught his teacher calmly: The teacher always taught me to be a good emperor. A good emperor can make grandpa embezzle military expenses?Teacher, now you take the lead in bending the law for personal gain, how can you teach me in the future?We have fallen out, I should intercede for grandpa, you have to deal with it.

Zhang Juzheng was stumped by this matter, because not only the emperor wanted to behead, but even the Empress Dowager Li didn't know what to do, she tried to persuade her at first, but then she persuaded herself to cry, remembering that it was not good for me to persuade my father all these years Make, put your heart out and say: cut it off, cut it off.

In the end, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were frightened enough, so the good old man Shen Shixing came up with a solution, saying that the past crimes had already been punished, and this time the crimes would not be dead, not to mention that the emperor's decree to be a grandfather was too shocking, and it was not good for the emperor's reputation. Not good, should be dealt with lightly.

As soon as the emperor heard it, hehehe, it doesn't matter whether he kills or not, he likes to watch the officials make concessions. In the end, he took away the title of grandpa and sent eunuchs to count how much money grandpa's family had. The total was 23 taels, and he was fined 7000 taels were charged into the internal treasury, and Tsinghua Garden, known as the best garden in the world in the north of the capital, was confiscated.

After that, very few courtiers blamed the emperor for the waste in the palace, because their blame had nothing to do with political affairs, but just looked pleasing to the eye.

It is true that this emperor spends money more lavishly than anyone else, but firstly, he did not ask for money from the household department, and secondly, don’t look at the extravagant, but he spends less than the previous emperors, because this emperor knows how to count, and the palace dare not Obviously greedy.

What Emperor Longqing needed 50 taels to do, Emperor Wanli did it with one tael.

What Emperor Jiajing needed 10 taels to accomplish, Emperor Wanli didn't need to spend even one tael—he didn't make alchemy.

The emperor originally thought that Zhou Sijing and Xu Guangqi would come back at dawn tomorrow, but then he thought that he would rush out of the city before dawn, and had to open the city gate for them, so he arranged for the guards in Jinyi to replace Xu Guangqi who was shivering with cold. Unclothed and slept in Jinyiwei at night.

This was originally well-intentioned, but in the end no one slept well.

The young emperor had something on his mind, and woke up after a short sleep. He asked the eunuch to find out what time it was, and took his two younger brothers to walk all the way to the Meridian Gate with a small coal lamp, and woke up Xu Guangqi.

"Hush! Why are you sleeping like Dudu Xu? Go out and tell me about the structure of the big thing outside."

Xu Guangqi woke up from the fright.

After a long day of exhaustion, even though he was in an unfamiliar place, he slept soundly. Suddenly, a small cold hand was stretched into the bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw a boy, two boys, carrying this kerosene lamp by the side of the bed. Looking down at his own face with a weird smile.

Not to mention how scary.

Xiao Liang's hands belonged to Lu Wang, it was not a prank, the main reason was that his cold hadn't healed yet, and he had nowhere to rub his nose after wiping his snot.

Shocked and frightened, Xu Guangqi was woken up by the emperor from his sleep, and walked in the Forbidden City at night in his single clothes.

Thanks to the three brats, all the palace guards who saw them along the way cheered up and took care of them carefully, not even daring to take a nap.

"I thought and thought about it all night, but I couldn't figure out a question, Xu Suozheng."

When he walked to the side of Huode Xingjun who was parked near the palace gate, the emperor walked back and forth beside the huge steam locomotive with a light on his face, with uncontrollable excitement and joy on his face. It was obvious that he was very happy to visit the imperial city at night. Question: "It is written in the manual of the Steam Bureau that there are four types of workers for the B-type Huodexingjun used in small factories, including mechanical supervisors, boiler workers who add water and coal, oil workers who add oil and lubrication, and gas workers who are responsible for deflation. "

"I went back last night and thought about it again and again, only to realize that you, Huode Xingjun, have very few people. There are only two shirtless boiler workers, and the rest are completely gone."

The emperor folded his arms and raised his eyebrows: "What's going on?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the shell of the B-type Huode Xingjun is big enough, and it doesn't need a shell like the ones used in factories."

In fact, Emperor Wanli is only one year younger than Xu Guangqi, but Xu Guangqi is much more mature than the emperor, but he has not matured much. At least now Wanli is holding an oil lamp, and Xu Guangqi can illuminate wherever the emperor points. What's wrong.

Xu Guangqi pointed at Huode Xingjun's back and said: "He has a shell, water filling and deflation are connected to the back by the mechanism, and oiling and lubrication are completely automatic by the mechanism. While walking, some dripped on the slide below, and some flowed to the end. There is an oil bucket under the buttocks of Lord Huodexing, which can be reused after being taken out from the shoulder every day and poured down."

As he said that, Xu Guangqi raised his hand and said, "In the future, adding water and deflation will be completely automatic. At that time, only one driver and one charcoal worker will be needed to make it run, but this road...is too difficult. "

"Don't worry, as long as this big blue dragon can run and drag a cart on the road, I can repair any road I need, even if I need to use wooden rails, I can also repair it from Beiyang to Wulianghai!"

Xu Guangqi shook his head slowly, completely lacking the awareness of being a seventh rank, interrupting the emperor's pride and saying: "Your Majesty, the wooden rails may not be able to support this heavy cart, and the cast iron rails are not even outside the Great Wall, even if they are inside the Great Wall." will be carried away by the people."

The young emperor felt ashamed to be easily pointed out the loopholes in his thinking, and said angrily: "Then I will pour it with cement and see who can lift it!"

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that the little seventh-rank official in front of him would be stubborn again, so he added: "Whoever can carry it away, I will recruit him as an artillery soldier, and let the mules rest!"

Although a kitten roaring like a tiger is not scary, but Xu Guangqi is also a kitten, he is very scared.

But the emperor came back to his senses and said to him strangely: "Hey, you know a lot, what's your name?"

"Young minister Xu Guangqi doesn't know much. In fact, he just joined the steam bureau not long ago. He also heard from Master Zhou and the craftsmen. This matter was discussed in the bureau before, and the steam truck was used to pull the steam engine so that it could be easily transported to Beiyang. shipment."

"Can it count?" After getting an affirmative answer, under the dim moonlight, the young emperor gave Xu Guangqi, who was also young, an important mission: "You do the math for me, from Beiyang to Qingshan Pass, use rail cement How much does it cost to drown the road?"

　Good morning!
