No matter how effective this diluted stuff is, it is still a great reward. Even the richest people outside the palace will not be able to drink a drop of it for the time being.
The personal servants who received the gift of the elixir were all filled with gratitude. If it works for Dean Song and Sun Dushuai, they will definitely be able to manifest their magical powers after taking it themselves.
Even if it can relax the muscles, activate blood circulation, and cure stubborn diseases, it is still excellent!
"Whoever dares to reveal a word can go out and live a happy life from now on!"
"This slave will not dare to die!"
Regarding the fairy medicine, a certain new emperor did not intend to announce it to the public.
As the saying goes - don't worry about nothing, worry about unevenness!
Those guys who didn't drink must have something in mind.
Since the output of the elixir is roughly constant, it is simply impossible to put it on the market in large quantities.
It is possible to dilute it 1,800 times, but the efficacy will be greatly reduced.
A certain new emperor would only consider doing that as a last resort.
When people reach middle age, and it is not their routine to go to court every Monday, they are too lazy to get up early.
What a perfect life it is to sleep in with the queen and the royal concubine, who are as beautiful as flowers and jade!
Generally, you can sleep until about nine o'clock, then get up to wash up and have something to eat.
The main meal will wait until noon. If there are military ministers coming to have a meal, it will be a good time to eat together.
Except for emergencies, the Military Aircraft Department handles memorials sent from various places from Tuesday to Saturday.
If the trouble is small, a certain new emperor can just give direct instructions on what to do.
Otherwise, we need to hold a meeting with the military and aircraft ministers to discuss how to deal with it.
Emergency meetings will only be held if the scope of the matter is very wide, but only once or twice a month.
To this end, a certain new emperor specially sent people to build a building specifically for holding court meetings.
It is not high, with only two floors, but the first floor can accommodate two hundred people attending the meeting at the same time.
Just like the classrooms used for large lectures in later universities, everyone has a chair and is equipped with a long table.
It's not impossible for everyone to stand, but when it comes to matters involving a large number of ministers signing, it would be much more convenient to have a table.
Especially those with weak legs and feet who cannot stand for long periods of time.
Once they are given a seat, the remaining people will feel somewhat unbalanced.
As a result, a certain new emperor simply made desks and chairs available to officials of the third rank and above.
Previously, the blame dumper publicly announced his intention to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
It was not convenient to kneel in the house, so the officials knelt down in the small square in front of the building to worship the emperor who was about to become the emperor.
At the moment, Emperor Chongzhen is still walking around the palace in the new city, accompanied by the queen.
The gardens here are all Western-style, which is completely different from the palace in the old city and the ones in Nandu.
It may take some time to get used to it, but one thing is that it looks very neat.
Either a circle or a square, even other shapes follow the principle of left-right or front-to-back symmetry.
There is no irregular and asymmetrical figure in the entire garden, otherwise the new emperor who pursues perfection would be very uncomfortable after seeing it...
Even the gardeners responsible for pruning and maintenance here have been trained by warlocks, and all rules and methods are based on Western standards.
The only difference from the West is that, just like in Taiye Pond, the things in the fish pond can still be cooked!
Ornamental fish? ? ?
Feel sorry!
A certain new emperor might as well let a group of concubines go into the water to act as mermaids, which would be more eye-catching!
You can't eat it, you can only watch it. Except for a few such as mermaids, dolphins, and killer whales, other fish have little value in keeping.
Therefore, the pond was filled with mandarin fish, crucian carp, yellow catfish and other food-type fish. There was not a single good-looking koi carp, and a certain new emperor did not intend to rely on this thing to increase his luck.
Even if it does come out inexplicably, by the end of the year, it will be fished out and put in the pot.
For a certain new emperor, the purpose of raising fish cannot deviate from the original intention of cooking!
Chongzhen was puzzled by the situation in the pond at first, but he finally understood it after the queen's introduction.
Although a certain traitor has many shortcomings, one thing is certain, that is, he is very pragmatic.
Eating frugally, food is grown in the pond, and the Imperial City over the old city has now become a vegetable garden.
A bunch of vegetable greenhouses were built around Taiye Pond. In winter, there are also fresh fruits and vegetables to eat here.
In the southern capital, there are naturally not so many obstacles due to the temperature, but in the north one has to prepare for a rainy day.
All of this is based on not giving anything to the people, including the entire palace in the new city.
To build a new palace, a certain filial son did not spend a single tael of silver from the court, nor did he levy a single tael of silver in special taxes from the common people.
All the money came from the East Palace, part of it was borrowed from merchants, and part of it was obtained from mining.
Now the merchant's portion has been paid off in full, and hundreds of millions of taels of silver have been accumulated through mining.
Chongzhen also specifically studied the mining behavior of a certain traitor, and found that it had nothing to do with competing for profits with Min and oppressing the people.
The mines naturally belonged to the imperial court, and some of the mines belonging to a certain traitor were purchased from the imperial court at a large price.
In the gold mines that were subsequently mined, a certain traitor only held 20% of the shares, the imperial court held 40% of the shares, and the rest was publicly raised for retail shareholders to hold.
Generally speaking, it is mutually beneficial, which not only allows the court to obtain a large amount of tax revenue, but also allows merchants to profit from it.
As for the miners responsible for mining, except for slaves, the wages of free miners are higher than those of ordinary coolies engaged in other industries.
More importantly, after mining the mines to attract a large number of laborers, they also attracted the local economy and promoted the rapid development of surrounding restaurants, inns, and teahouses.
To give the simplest example, Shaanxi's economy, which was originally in terrible shape, was boosted by oil fields, coal mines, and gold mines.
After regaining the Hetao area and turning it into the south of the Yangtze River, Shaanxi received support from the two major grain-producing areas of the Hetao and southern Shaanxi.
Now not only do we not need to ask for money and food from the court, but we can also make profits and taxes of one million taels of silver from the court every year.
Compared with other places, it is not conspicuous, but if the court does not allocate subsidies, it is already burning incense.
A certain traitor now has only one request for Shaanxi—self-sufficiency!
Under Zuo Maodi's hard work, this seemingly low but actually very high requirement was finally met reluctantly.
If you really can't get profits and taxes, you can still use oil to offset taxes and fees.
With the two major oil fields of Qingyang and Yanchang, Shaanxi became the energy base of the entire Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Now the court no longer has to worry about rebellion in Shaanxi, because the people can basically find a living.
Especially in northern Shaanxi, which was previously impoverished, with the Yulin Coal Mine and Yanchang Oilfield, as well as the training of new troops, the local young people no longer have to worry about making money.
Before leaving office, Zuo Maodi's goal was to build Shaanxi into the third province in the north!
The first place must be Beizhili, which is home to the three major cities of Beidu, Tianjin and Baoding. Its status is unshakable.
The second is Shandong, which has very developed foreign trade and routes connecting Japan and Cai.
If Shaanxi works hard and takes advantage of the opportunity to develop the Western Region, there is still hope of competing for third place.
A certain new emperor also made it clear before that he wanted to build Shaanxi into the energy base of the Ming Dynasty.
The oil transported from the Western Regions is processed locally in Shaanxi and then transported to various places within the customs.
It is impossible to transport crude oil to Beidu. Large-scale smelting in Beidu is tantamount to polluting the environment.
Especially after a certain new emperor recovered, he announced an amazing piece of good news, that is, the discovery of the Yumen Oil Field.
The news was sent directly to Hetao by railway and then to Xi'an by express horse.
After informing the people of the city through the radio, the officials and merchants in the city all shouted long live the emperor...
An oil field means a lot, and those who have experienced the benefits of the Yanchang Oil Field know all too well.
Since Zuo Maodi will return to Beijing to report on his duties this year, he may retire directly.
The governor of Shaanxi Province has become the most lucrative position among the officials in the border areas, and many people are eyeing this job.
The emperor did not seek Zuo Maodi's opinion in advance, and the outgoing governor could only remain silent.
A certain new emperor heard from an informant in the official department that many people were already spending a lot of money to get information.
Of course, the final decision lies in the hands of a certain new emperor, and no one can interfere.
There is a high probability that the emperor's students, that is, scholars who have received a new education, will serve.
Most of the guys who have read the book of sages are the ministers of Conglong who first followed a certain new emperor, so they can get the best opportunities.
But there are only eight positions. Unless you can serve as an official of the third rank or above in the imperial court, it is still useless.
In this regard, a certain new emperor is not worried at all. He has several spare tires in this position.
For example, Xu Jiufu, the student who was forced to work for Zuo Maodi, is said to be doing well.
After so many years, at least I haven't lost my head.
On June 6 of the Western calendar, Emperor Chongzhen held a ceremony to abdicate the throne.
Yes, abdication can also be celebrated!
Because firstly, he did not die, and secondly, he did not give up his throne to foreign enemies such as Donglu or rogue bandits within the pass.
In total, this was a very successful transition to the throne, unlike the tragic transition of the dying Emperor Tianqi to Chongzhen.
A certain filial son who received the benefit immediately declared a six-day national holiday to express his congratulations to the Emperor for his eternal blessings and longevity!
With the abdication of Emperor Chongzhen, this means that there will be only one emperor in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and that is Emperor Haojing.
The remaining princes can only become vassal princes or princes after they reach adulthood. The difference is that the former has a fief, an army, and a government office (also known as a small court), while the latter has nothing.
The vassal king with the largest territory under Chongzhen was naturally the former fifth prince and the current King of Burma.
The most famous prince is, of course, the second prince who is about to return from his study tour in the West, that is, King Dingzhi.
There is also a ranking of the ten sons of Emperor Chongzhen. The eldest son has always been at the top, and there is no controversy now.
There are certain differences about the second-ranked prince. Some people say he is the King of Burma, and some say he is the King of Dingzhong.
The former was Emperor Chongzhen's favorite son, and the latter was the second son born to Queen Zhou.
One is a concubine and the other is a legitimate child.
The former had the full support of Emperor Chongzhen, while the latter clung to the thighs of his biological mother, Queen Zhou, and his brother, the Northern Emperor.
After the fifth prince arrives in Burma, he can have a hundred thousand troops and occupy no less than three provinces.
Not only did he not have to pay taxes to Nanting, Emperor Chongzhen would also give him a lot of subsidies every year.
In contrast, King Dingzhi did not have this kind of treatment. He had to rely on the queen, his brother, and even the princess for everything.
A certain prince is a soft-cooked man, and the three princesses are all business elites and financial experts. This is a common belief.
Relying on his brother, it is speculated that King Dingzhong's annual income is less than 500,000 taels.
The lack of fiefdoms and troops saved him a lot of expenses, and he was able to save a lot of money every year.
After so many years, King Dingzhong's savings must be tens of millions of taels at least.
Not only is there a relationship between brothers, the princess's wife was once the queen's female official, and she is also best friends with the current emperor's concubine.
The two side concubines were best friends with the six noble concubines of the Northern Emperor. They became the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" and were famous in the south of the Yangtze River.
The intricate relationship between these two families determines that a certain prince will make too much money every year, and the money is all made by the princess, so the certain prince can just wait and spend it.
This trip to the West was paid for by a certain prince himself, without spending a single tael of money from the court.
Even if he couldn't afford the money, his brother Beidi would reimburse him in full.
People who are aggressive and ambitious will naturally think that the fifth prince's choice is better.
Those who seek comfort and stability certainly feel that staying in Beijing is the best decision.
Who is right and who is wrong can only be evaluated by future generations a hundred years later.
Now it seems that the two sons born to Queen Zhou, one is very successful and the other is not very successful, are actually good things.
If both of them become talented, an accident will happen between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
On the contrary, it is estimated that by this time, the Donglu braided army has already reached Qiongzhou...
King Dingzhi was not a fool like Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty. His brother's martial arts skills were rare in ancient and modern times. In addition, he had immortal power to protect his body, and he achieved a brilliant victory that shocked the past and the present.
Even if Tang Taizong and Song Taizu were his younger brothers, they would be dwarfed by them.
Perhaps only Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in history could compete with Emperor Haojing with his ultimate move of Flying Fire Meteor!
I heard that Daddy took people to drive ten kilometers to the current vegetable garden, which was the old palace before.
A certain new emperor is as calm as ever, and it is understandable that the old people are nostalgic.
Even if the dumper insists on living there, there is nothing wrong with him.
A certain new emperor had already been mentally prepared to give up the throne to him. It was no big deal for him to give up an old palace.
It is enough that he is accompanied by his beautiful biological mother, the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan, and the concubine who stayed in Beidu.
A certain new emperor felt that he would not have to go over to cause trouble, and by the way, he might also cause trouble for the father who blamed him.
Right now, we should rush out the periodic table of elements, world map, various formulas, axioms, theorems and chemical equations as soon as possible.
Those that were originally produced were either half-finished products or just missing pieces, neither comprehensive nor in-depth.
After upgrading my brain this time, I had to write quickly while my brain was still wet.
In the morning, it was dictated by a certain new emperor and written by the concubines.
In the afternoon, a certain new emperor drew the map by himself and asked Bo Jue and his apprentice Sun Yunqiu to learn from it.
Old Songtou, who has recovered very well, also wants to participate, but a certain new emperor has not yet agreed due to the high intensity of the work.
Lao Songtou's current task is to keep himself fat and fat, and spend all the funeral money left by his family on food and drink.
This was an order given to a certain new emperor by his biological mother and Xue Wanqing, and now a certain new emperor simply passed it on to Lao Songtou and Lao Suntou.
Even the new king's body couldn't bear the big fish and meat, so he had to dig some wild vegetables at the right time to use as a dipping sauce before he could eat it.
Seeing that there were already written bound books everywhere in the room, Bo Jue and Prince Consort Sun Yunqiu started reading eagerly.
This was the emperor's first-hand information from the fairy world, and only the two of them in the world were qualified to see it first.
Even at night, the two of them were unwilling to go home, so they had to live in the building opposite the military aircraft office.
Go to sleep when you feel sleepy and watch when you wake up. This is the scientific schedule that makes them most satisfied!
At this stage, it is impossible for the military and aircraft ministers to even look at it.
Once it leaks out and is discovered by Western countries, allowing their scientists to study it, it will only be a matter of time before it is eaten ready-made.
Even one equation is worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so it must be kept strictly confidential.
It's not impossible to sell it for money. Everything must comply with relevant regulations before it can be exported to the next owner.
However, a certain new emperor is not a profiteer. Foreign guests can obtain the contents found in textbooks for free.
For example, Ming Dynasty's chemistry textbooks basically cover all the topics. It is impossible to teach how to refine oil, which can make people rich overnight!
So far, apart from the Ming Empire, only the Ottoman Empire in the world can refine kerosene, heavy oil and asphalt.
Both gasoline and diesel can only be produced by factories in Beidu, and since internal gas is not yet popular, the market demand for these two fuels is not large.
Bo Jue held the latest physics secret book and praised the mechanics, optics, heat, acoustics, electromagnetism and other knowledge explained in it.
The parts that I couldn't figure out in the experiment can be suddenly understood after seeing the relevant formulas and theorems. I can use a pencil to deduce it, and it is indeed the case.
Although this book introduces some outlines of several major subjects, as well as calculation formulas and theorems, it is at best annotated.
However, it will play an extremely important and huge role in promoting the scientific research of the Academy of Sciences, and even the entire scientific field of Ming Dynasty.
The missing parts in the original bound volume, such as the "Carnot cycle" on the issue of expansion and compression, have been supplemented in the new book.
It can be said that reading this book is better than reading other similar books in ten years.
The reason why I say this is because Bo Jue also obtained detailed information about nuclear reactions from the emperor!
In the past, it was all pieced together using intermittent information. Now, in this top-secret bound volume, all the ins and outs of the nuclear reaction are clearly explained.
In the entire Academy of Sciences, only Bo Jue and Sun Yunqiu are qualified to watch, and Lao Songtou may be added in the future.
Emperor Haojing has already sent people to Australia to mine uranium ore. With this bound volume, centrifuges can also be manufactured.
The super bomb that Bo Jue is looking forward to is very likely to be born within the next twenty years.
As long as you persist in breathing, you can see the moment when the huge mushroom cloud rises into the sky!
The bound volume provides a more detailed introduction to the mining of uranium ore, the structure of centrifuges, and the development process of nuclear weapons.
As long as you go through Daming's chemical training, you can then receive relevant special guidance.
With sufficient funds, manpower, materials, and electricity, you can build a nuclear bomb according to this combined volume!
