Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Wansui Mountain is located on the central axis of the capital, and the temple in front of the mountain is also built on the central axis.

Whether in his previous life or in this life after traveling through time, Zhu Youxiao had never been to Wansui Mountain.

I heard that later the hall in front of the mountain was demolished by the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt into the Qiwang Tower, and Wansui Mountain was renamed Jingshan.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the temple on the mountain, looking south. The entire Forbidden City was in sight, and his mind suddenly became open.

Looking back on the time when I traveled across to the Ming Dynasty, I had been in a hurry all the way. First I took back the imperial power, then I purged the eunuch party, then I cracked down on the nobles, reorganized the army, rectified the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and conquered the Qing army in the north... There were too many things!

One thing after another came one after another, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath.

Now, take advantage of this free time to take a good look at this magnificent landscape.

But as I watched, I felt uncomfortable when I thought about how these places and the people here were later ruined by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Wei Zhongxian looked on, somewhat confused.

"Your Majesty must be tired. Why don't you take a rest while waiting for the others?"

"Do you have any wine? Give me a few drinks."

Yutong came up quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I have prepared your two favorite wines for you, Taibai Lu and Hantan Chun."

"Which one would you like to drink, Your Majesty?"

"Then give me Hantanchun, which is stronger!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will fill it up for you right away."

As he spoke, Youtong took the wine utensils from a eunuch and started pouring wine.

Zhu Youxiao was displeased when he saw him pouring wine into a small cup.

"Change me a big cup!"

"All right, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smile when he saw Youtong serving him so considerately.

It seems that this little monkey has learned a lot from us. I think he will be able to become a master in two years.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Wei Zhongxian carried the dragon throne over, and with a wave of his hand, another eunuch brought a small table with nuts and snacks and placed it next to it.

Zhu Youxiao was somewhat surprised: "I am here to do an experiment. You have prepared so many things. Do you want me to hold a banquet here?"

Wei Zhongxian laughed and said, "If the emperor is hungry, thirsty, hot, cold, or frightened, it will be my fault."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It has to be you, you are worthy of being my great companion!"

Seeing this, Youtong secretly admired him.

It seems that our family still needs to continue working hard!

He immediately offered a full glass of wine.

"Your Majesty, please have some wine."

Zhu Youxiao took the wine glass, which contained two taels of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

After taking a big gulp of liquor, the melancholy in my stomach just now disappeared instantly, and I felt refreshed all over. I couldn't help but praise.

"Ah—good wine!"

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty is so comfortable, hiding here and enjoying wine alone!" Sun Chengzong's voice came from the mountain road.

"Royal brother, you are so mean! You don't even call me your subordinate when you're drinking!" Prince Xin and others followed closely behind.

Zhu Youxiao said, "How about we all drink something first?"

Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, please wait a minute. Let's do the experiment first. After that, we can have a celebratory drink."

"Hahahaha, what you two dear ministers say makes sense."

As he spoke, he pulled Sun Chengzong directly to the installed telegraph machine nearby.

"Master Guo, today's test is specially done for the Ministry of War."

Sun Chengzong looked at the equipment in front of him, which was never strange before, with a look of confusion.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my poor eyesight. Can this thing be used in war? As a weapon? Is it a weapon as powerful as a mortar?"

Guo Yunhou, who was following behind, was also confused.

I'm busy preparing to open the sea to collect commercial taxes and make a lot of money. Why did the Ministry of War ask him to come here to test weapons?

"Your Majesty, I don't think this thing looks like a weapon."

Prince Xin said with a sly smile: "Master Guo, in fact, this thing can be a very powerful weapon!"

As he said this, he was about to pull the wires on the battery to try it on Lord Guo.

But Zhu Youxiao stopped him: "Don't mess around, finish the experiment first."

Prince Xin looked disappointed.

Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng observed the equipment carefully.

Their Ministry of Industry had received some news about the telegraph machine, so they were particularly interested in it.

"Sun Kangwang, the test begins. Let the operator at the foot of the mountain start sending messages."

"According to the order."

Sun Kangwang turned around and gave an order, and a Jinyiwei immediately stood on the most protruding rock on the mountainside and waved a small flag.

The Jinyiwei who was on standby at the foot of the mountain saw it and immediately told the operator.

After the receiving terminal here was turned on, the sound was received quickly.

This thing suddenly made a rhythmic sound, and Sun Chengzong and others were very curious.

Sun Kangwang asked the operator here to write down the content received, while explaining the functions of the telegraph machine to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong jumped up after hearing this.

"Just this thing can instantly communicate information within thirty miles!"

This new telegraph machine had improved materials in some places, and its communication distance was ten miles longer than the version Zhu Youxiao had first seen.

Zhu Youxiao said, "That's right. This is what I asked Professor Wei to study. Mr. Sun, do you think it is precious?"

Sun Chengzong was so excited that he bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, this is a supreme treasure! I am sure that Your Majesty will equip every army of the Ming Dynasty with such a telegraph machine!"

Zhu Youxiao did not comment on his words, but just smiled and repeated the previous question: "Teacher, just tell me whether this thing is precious or not?"

Sun Chengzong nodded vigorously: "Baby! It's really a baby!"

"Do you think it's expensive to sell it for two hundred taels?"

As soon as he heard the word money, Guo Yunhou's ears pricked up instantly, telling him directly that something was not right.

But Sun Chengzong shook his head vigorously: "Not expensive, not expensive! Not expensive at all! Even if it's sold for a thousand taels, it's not expensive!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "That's right. You can tell Lord Guo how many units you want and let him pay for them."

When Guo Yunhou heard this, his eyes widened and he screamed as if someone had stepped on his tail.

When it comes to money, he won't give any face even if the king comes!

“Why do you want me to pay again?”

"I heard that this thing was made by Shanhe Academy!"

"The Shanhe Academy was built with money from the Ministry of Revenue, so there is absolutely no reason for me to pay for it again!"

Zhu Youxiao: "I lent you the money."

Guo Yunhou: "I have already paid back the money!"

Zhu Youxiao: "No, no, no, you just paid back the money you borrowed in Shaanxi in advance. You haven't paid back the money you borrowed from Shanhe Academy yet."

Guo Yunhou:.........

Chapter 482: I request to blast a hole in this mountain range.

It has to be said that Zhu Youxiao's approach directly burned out Guo Yunhou's CPU.

He bowed down aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what do you mean by repaying the loan from Shaanxi in advance?"

"I clearly paid back the money to Gaishanhe Academy!"

"Is it?"

Zhu Youxiao put on a rogue look and turned to look at Youtong.

"Go and ask Wang Chengen if Guo Aiqing wrote down his name when he paid back the money. It is said that he paid back the money in the amount he paid back."

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will be there soon!"

Yutong could no longer hold back his laughter, and turned around and left upon hearing that.

Guo Yunhou's old face turned red, and he wished he could slap himself a few times.

I was on high alert, but I never expected the emperor to do something like this...

Watching Yutong's back getting farther and farther away, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Slow down!"

"No need to ask, I just admit defeat this time!"

"Well, that's right!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed unkindly, and laughed very loudly.

"My dear Guo, don't think I'm trying to trick you. I just want to tell you that no matter who you do business with, you have to write down everything in black and white in advance."

"Only by speaking out the ugly truth in advance can we avoid troubles like today."

"As the saying goes, every failure is a learning experience. I believe you will not make such a stupid mistake again next time, right?"

What else can Guo Yunhou say!

I can only bow and say: "Your Majesty has good intentions. I am ashamed!"

Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng on the side were already dumbfounded!

They never dared to imagine that the current emperor could have such a dark side.

However, this incident also made them realize another thing.

All innovations have the potential to bring huge economic benefits!

The small box containing the telegram looked inconspicuous, but His Majesty sold it for two hundred taels of silver!

It's very profitable...

Just then, the telegraph machine started beeping.

The Jinyiwei in charge of the operation immediately pricked up his ears, picked up a pencil and quickly wrote down the contents on paper.

Soon, it was presented to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xin sent a telegram from the foot of the mountain!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned and looked back, only to find that Prince Xin and the old man Wen Tihen had disappeared at some point.

He was very curious about what this brother who was going further and further on the road of letting himself go would send.

"Read!"

"Yes!"

The Jinyiwei picked up the telegram and began to read it.

"Brother, has that old bastard Guo agreed to pay?"

"puff!"

Zhu Youzheng was just picking up the cup to drink, but when he heard this, he almost choked to death on the spot!

Guo Yunhou even staggered. If Xu Guangqi had not quickly caught him, he would have rolled down the mountain.

Lao Guo wants to cry...
