.    Chapter 199 New technological breakthroughs

    The royal family of Manlajia rushed to the Central Plains in tears. Fortunately, there was no wind or waves along the way. Moreover, after the mother-in-law spread some cakes on Ersha to satisfy their hunger, the sailors on the ship also felt that they had arrived in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty felt that  Manlajia, a younger brother who had paid tribute and expressed his surrender, would not ignore it, so his people's hearts were still stable and he did not commit murder or defection on the road.

    ???????????????????? Just because of the fatigue of the journey and the anger in his heart, Lao Wang Paramisura died before the fleet even docked at Guangzhou Port.

    This made the people of the Manlajia royal family even more gloomy. Mother Gansayu's Ersha vowed not to use troops to counterattack Manlajia and would never give up until Zhu Ming was cut into pieces.

    These are all things far away. Let¡¯s not mention the various situations in which everyone in Manlajia was escorted by the Ming Dynasty navy after hearing the news and went to the capital to meet the saint.

    The Blackwater Ming Kingdom was really prosperous in the sixth year after Zhu Ming's rule.

    Wenxi lived up to his high expectations, and did a great job in reforming the civil service and formulating various laws. Zhu Ming has promoted him to check and balance. Although his official position is a little worse than that of Hou Yin, who was responsible for great checks and balances, his actual power is not inferior.

    Amid the thriving atmosphere of this faction, the ministers also mentioned the issue of Zhu Ming's heirs.

    It's an unavoidable topic. With the prosperity of the Black Water Ming Kingdom, Zhu Ming naturally doesn't have anyone to serve him anymore. The little maid Jin Zhu who was by his side no longer needs to do those heavy tasks now.  Although she has lost her job, accompanying Zhu Ming is still her greatest joy in life.

    In the past two years, Jin Zhu has gradually grown from a young girl to a mature girl, which makes Zhu Ming sometimes think about whether it is appropriate to still keep her by his side to serve him.

    Jin Zhu¡¯s brother Jin Feihong still stayed in Daming and was responsible for all matters such as the trade routes from the Blackwater Ming Kingdom to Daming and the smuggling of people. Since his brother was so relieved to keep his sister by his side, he couldn¡¯t do anything excessive.

    Probably because there is no shortage of Zhu Ming now, Zelia has been his for a long time, and even the barbarian Zhu Ming sent by Ali Motu last time was not wasted. In his era, female slaves can serve a powerful man.  It should be considered lucky in life.

    But Jinzhu is different. She has followed her through the difficult years, and Zhu Ming has a different feeling for her, but it is difficult to relate to the relationship between a man and a woman.

    However, under the persuasion of the court, especially the Han officials, there seemed to be a faint voice for Zhu Ming to marry Jin Zhu as his wife, which also formed a large undercurrent, which made Zhu Ming a little worried.  Every step will affect the success or failure of the future, so it is not advisable to make a decision too hastily, lest you upset everyone's hearts.

    Just when Zhu Ming was a little upset, Zheng Chong, the head of the Craftsmanship Department, came to report a piece of good news, which diluted Zhu Ming's upset mind a lot.

    Originally, Zhu Ming mentioned the huge energy of water vapor in his works, and even gave an example of how boiling water can lift the lid of a kettle, and also painted a crude diagram of a steam engine.

    When I had time to teach in the school, I also vaguely described that if it can be airtight, the water vapor generated is so powerful that it can penetrate gold and cracked rocks. If you use this power, it will be like a wind mill and a water mill, and you can do a lot of things.

    At that time, the students below were scratching their heads seriously and taking notes. Zhu Ming didn't take it seriously at first. He just sowed seeds. In the end, which ones sprouted and which ones rotted in the ground, he didn't care anymore and didn't come.  You care about such small things.

    At this time, Zheng Chong came to talk about the steam engine, and Zhu Ming suddenly remembered it.  I happen to be feeling upset recently, so I might as well go for a walk.

    The yamen and premises of the Craftsmanship Department are in the wild. These craftsmen are willing to live next to the experimental workshop. Now they have no worries about food and clothing. Their biggest motivation is to come up with something new and prove that they are no better than those who study knowledge every day.  If you can get a small title based on your new invention, it will be enough to bring glory to your family.

    Now the Han people in the Heishui Ming Kingdom do not feel any worse than those in the Ming Dynasty. Here they have enough food and clothing. The miasma that everyone in Southeast Asia was talking about has disappeared after the king of the country came up with various medicinal herbs such as cinchona trees.  Now that the disease is incurable, everyone is very excited, thinking that one day the leader of the country will simply become an emperor, and it would be best to merge the Ming Dynasty and our Heishui Ming Dynasty into one.

    Zhu Ming naturally laughed off these rumors. The world outside is very vast, and Chinese people still need to continue to broaden their horizons.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    The newly built steam engine was placed in a big house on the beach. Xuanyuan Chang, the host, said that it was a delicate machine and needed to be taken good care of.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Well, Wu Wenming, who is now in charge of the production and improvement of muskets, Zeng Wenyu, who is responsible for the production and blending of gunpowder, etc., saw that the king of the country was also here. They had not seen Zhu Ming for a long time, and they all came up to say hello.

    They are all old people who have been following for many years, but the division of labor is different. The craftsmen are still the pillars of the country. Zhu Ming greeted them one by one in a friendly way, and several people entered the room to look curiously at the steam engine that Xuanyuan Chang had figured out.

    "The appearance is similar to the one in the scientific book of the king." Zheng Chong said first.

    The few pamphlets originally compiled by Zhu Ming have now been published in the Blackwater Ming Kingdom, with no less than a million copies. Such a terrifying circulation can be said to be unique. Many businessmen are shipping boxes out of the country. Zhu Ming does not  Objection, if it can be studied out based on these few pamphlets of his, it will be a benefit to mankind.

    Seeing that the ruler of the country did not object to the matter, many officials of the Ming Dynasty did not pursue the matter. However, from then on, books on science, arithmetic, Chinese, and medicine were all given the title of heavenly book.

    "Okay, okay, let's not talk about what's available and what's gone. Let's look at Xiao Changzi like this." Zhu Ming stopped everyone who was chatting and looked curiously at this invention created by the craftsmen's subjective initiative.

    The machine mainly consists of two parts. One part provides hot steam and is an enlarged version of the stove and kettle. However, the kettle only has one air outlet. The other part provides hot steam.
