Zhu Jingyuan thought that after talking about the concubinage, Grandpa could ignore the other two matters.
As a result, he was thinking about it all the time, and after finishing one sentence, he immediately took over the next one.
However, unlike looking for a wife without any clue, Zhu Jingyuan was well prepared for the yacht matter:
"I have already planned. I am not going to build a yacht specifically, but I am going to install yacht facilities in the battleship.
“It’s not really a yacht facility, it’s just a comfortable living environment that’s enough for me to go out to sea occasionally.
“When I don’t need this ship, I will use it as a specialized fleet command ship.
"When the food country can operate the battleship, this ship will be built..."
Zhu Zhongliang suddenly realized:
"Is it the same model as the Dauntless?"
Zhu Jingyuan added:
"It's not exactly the same. The Dauntless is built according to the standard of living comfort. It was not originally intended to be a battleship, nor was it intended to be a fleet command ship.
"Most of the areas I envision are the same as those of an ordinary battleship, except for the additional space for me to live and the space for the entire fleet headquarters.
"Moreover, this ship must be built according to a normal cutting-edge battleship, not an experimental ship like the Dreadnought. Otherwise, I can just use the Dreadnought as my base ship."
Zhu Zhongliang thought about Zhu Jingyuan's design, then nodded with great satisfaction and said:
"This is a good idea. When we use it, we can use it as a ship, and when we don't use it, we can use it as a fleet command ship.
"Build one for me, and one for Jian Yan, plus yours for a total of three.
"Three large fleet command ships are placed in the mainland, Xintianfu, and Dashi Country respectively.
“Don’t wait until the Great Food Nation’s navy operates battleships, start working on it now.
"Your own ship will be placed in the Ming Navy sequence before the Great Food Kingdom can operate it."
Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said:
"It is possible to build it now, but the reason why I am not in a hurry to build it is not only that the food country cannot operate it yet, but mainly because I want to wait for the 60,000-ton battleship to be finalized."
Zhu Zhongliang suddenly realized it again, and immediately said with a playful smile:
"Then I'm also waiting for the 60,000-tonne one. You should also keep an eye on the progress on this matter and enter the design stage as soon as possible.
"That's it for the yacht. Now let's talk about your garden. How do you plan this?"
Zhu Jingyuan said helplessly:
“I really don’t have any thoughts about the garden.
“Actually, I think it’s very comfortable to live in the palaces like Xintianfu and the gardens in the Imperial City.
“I am very satisfied with my current environment and life.
"I want to build a resort on Daming Lake. In fact, this is how it should be built in the end."
Zhu Zhongliang frowned and looked at Zhu Jingyuan seriously again:
"Do you really feel...comfortable already?"
Zhu Jingyuan nodded naturally:
"yes."
Zhu Zhongliang was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly and said:
"I... actually want to see how you play...
"It's not that I want to learn how you play, I also want to see you play, not like you do now...
"I've been here with you since last year, and seeing your lifestyle these past few months, I'm worried about you.
“You work all day long, all month long, maybe even all year round, and you have no idle time.
“You’re not really having fun and having fun.
"You raised a plaything outside, but within a month, you were sent to work in Taixi.
"That's why I ignored it. You are still only a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
"I want to see you like a child...
"Don't act like a child, even adults should know how to enjoy it.
"You don't even have time to seriously look for a woman, you just use whatever others give you...
"Looking at you like this, grandpa is really distressed..."
Zhu Jingyuan was silent.
Feeling grateful for grandpa's concern.
I also lamented my own state, whether I was possessed by the struggle.
But after thinking about it a little bit, I realized it wasn't that way.
What I am busy with all day now is what I like to do.
The essence of time travel is not to say that a loser becomes a genius when he arrives in another world. In essence, it means changing the environment.
I was not good at math originally, but I don’t need to learn math anymore after changing the world.
Or use the original mature experience and knowledge to play a role in another immature world line.
More importantly, what I am busy now is actually busy for myself.
You are not working for others. The things you manage ultimately belong to you.
At the same time, I also hope that my country will prosper.
Personal interests and achievements are integrated with feelings of family and country.
So of course I have no motive for fishing.
The key is that I always feel that there is really nothing fun here.
The development of entertainment requires a broad social foundation. Of course, the entertainment life in Ming Dynasty was much richer than that in the same period in history.
But this is only the level of the second industrial revolution era.
I have experienced the explosion of information in the Internet age, and I no longer find anything exciting to watch here.
There are no mobile phones, no computers, no game consoles, no TVs, no movies, and no endless Internet.
Instead of listening to those traditional operas and watching those old-fashioned monsters, it would be better to toss around engines and cannons.
In fact, women in this world are very boring, otherwise Zhu Jingyuan wouldn't be interested in that guy Aoxue.
I can let them play tricks with me, but I only have two opportunities a month, so I can't kill time...
So Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but shook his head:
“I also want to have some fun, but the key point is that I really don’t think it’s fun.
"It's still fun to toss around with machines and guns. Shooting a few rounds of bullets every day can relieve stress."
Zhu Zhongliang was immediately speechless:
"Then you think of a way to come up with something fun..."
Zhu Jingyuan was obviously stunned:
"Do you want to do something fun for yourself?"
After Zhu Jingyuan was stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly felt blessed:
"Yes, I know how to cultivate my garden!"
Seeing Zhu Jingyuan's reaction, Zhu Zhongliang immediately became interested:
"How to fix it? Can you tell me?"
Zhu Jingyuan had calmed down and explained his thoughts quite relaxedly:
“In addition to basic living and residential facilities, more space is used to build places for leisure and entertainment.
“In fact, these entertainment facilities can be as many as the place to live, or even more.
“There are also various sports facilities and venues, as well as dedicated cinema facilities.
"After all, the space used in life is not much..."
Listening to Zhu Jingyuan's description, Zhu Zhongliang subconsciously wanted to say:
In the original garden, there were also various entertainment facilities, such as a stage, a fish pond, a drinking wine pavilion...
But he immediately realized that the entertainment facilities Zhu Jingyuan mentioned might not be what he thought.
So I said with a little curiosity and expectation:
"You said it was nothing fun, so I want to see what you can come up with.
"At this time, it is already winter in Xintianfu, and it is a relatively leisurely time.
“Everything is basically on track, and I don’t have to keep an eye on it all day long.
"Don't get down to business these days. Go and plan the things in your garden first."
Zhu Jingyuan smiled energetically and said:
"Then I'll come up with a rough outline as soon as possible. I'll build a small one first for testing and experience, and then I'll find a place to build a larger one later."
Zhu Jingyuan quickly said goodbye to Zhu Zhongliang and returned to his room to write and draw.
Zhu Jingyuan is preparing to build an entire amusement city, a water park, an aquarium, a zoo, a theater, a concert hall, a stadium, a chess and card room, etc...
Put all kinds of living and entertainment facilities that you can think of into a garden for your family to use.
There are ones for yourself, ones for your children, ones for the women in your harem, and ones for your elders.
Some entertainment facilities, ball games, and card games that have not been invented or promoted can be developed.
Various existing entertainment facilities can also be directly incorporated.
Not only those from the Ming Dynasty can be arranged, but also those from Dashi, Tianzhu, Tianfang, Ottoman, Rome, Taixi, Mozhou, and Yin people.
In fact, China does not reject the adoption of foreign things. A Western-style building was built in the Old Summer Palace.
There is no Old Summer Palace in this world. You can build an "overseas garden" on a dedicated plot of land.
Put your own Hu Ji in it, and go in occasionally to experience life.
Zhu Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to his garden before, but he really felt that the current place he lived in was quite good.
The design ideas modified by Emperor Shizu were no longer purely classical and original.
Apart from adding various household appliances and tools, the architectural design itself no longer needs any improvements.
Zhu Jingyuan could not think of any architectural design that could immediately improve the quality of life.
Since there are no ideas for improvement, there is no motivation to plan a new garden.
Now that you have an idea, you will have motivation.
But after he started thinking about it, Zhu Jingyuan soon discovered that there was actually not much to do in this world.
Probably because I was busy with machinery and technology all day long and didn't pay attention to these things.
Except for the old emperor, no one else dared to recommend entertainment tools to him.
If you lose your mind playing with things, then the other party is a traitor.
In fact, many games that were originally produced in later generations had already been "invented" by Emperor Shizu.
For example, new leaf tiles using later poker rules, such as mahjong with new rules and new production methods.
Many things that were originally designed from all over the world have now become Ming Dynasty specialties.
Such as pocket billiards, tennis, basketball, football, badminton, etc...
But there are a lot of games in it, and Emperor Shizu just takes the name of the inventor.
Some of them could not be promoted due to technical reasons, and some emperors themselves did not pay attention to them and did not become popular at all.
Limiting yourself can use existing technology to transform them into more mature and complete entities.
Such as tennis, badminton, table tennis rackets and balls, basketball and football.
The final form of many tools and equipment relies on industries such as rubber chemistry, petrochemicals, and synthetic plastics.
The plastic industry is the dominant industry of the Great Food Country, and the rubber industry is the dominant industry of the Ming Dynasty.
The technical foundation of restriction is basically complete, and many things are just short of being perfected, and then it becomes a popular activity.
When Zhu Jingyuan thought about this, he suddenly realized that these sports competitions and entertainment projects are actually industries.
First, manufacturers can be created, then operating companies can be formed, and then sports competitions can be organized.
Emperor Shizu didn't seem to care much about these things.
It may also be due to technical limitations. There were many things he couldn't do at that time, but he can do them now.
At the same time, those amusement parks, water parks, and aquariums are also industries in themselves.
In the subsequent ordinary residential areas constructed, some simple children's entertainment facilities can also be added.
You can also build a large-scale amusement city that is open to the public, which can improve the comfort of workers.
When Zhu Jingyuan wrote this, he suddenly stopped:
"I originally planned to have fun, but in the end I instinctively wanted to start an industry. Am I really just a toiler?"
Zhu Jingyuan shook his head mockingly, shook off these meaningless thoughts, and continued to write various detailed requirements.
Whether you are playing or doing business, you have to make something first.
The first are rubber table tennis rackets, rayon tennis rackets and badminton rackets.
Small balls are easier to promote than large balls and target a wider range of users.
Table tennis and badminton are played across a table and a net, which may be easier for women to accept these days.
As for sports like basketball and football, where the bodies are in direct confrontation, and there are many people together, this is probably a bit difficult.
At this time, the balls used in table tennis, badminton, and tennis are now quite mature.
The main reason is that no one has made a suitable racket yet, and no one has thought of using a rubber surface for table tennis rackets.
Or it's not easy to make. Without rayon (nylon), the ropes for tennis and badminton are not tight and elastic enough.
In addition, there are many entertainment facilities that Emperor Shizu has not interfered with.
For example, bumper cars, merry-go-rounds, Ferris wheels and other things with power can be made by yourself for children to play with.
There are also facilities such as cinemas and concert halls, which were not possible before.
Zhu Jingyuan wrote and drew, and before he knew it, the whole day was over.
The next morning, Zhu Jingyuan distributed the things that had been determined to relevant personnel to work on, and at the same time began planning the site construction.
Although it is an experimental garden, it must be used normally and must be carefully planned.
Put forward general directions and requirements yourself and let specialized design craftsmen implement them.
In the next half month, Zhu Jingyuan was planning his garden.
In addition to the time required to build a house, most of the things Zhu Jingyuan designed this time were gadgets.
Xintianfu's craftsmen made various things one after another, and then sent them to Zhu Jingyuan at regular intervals.
The first thing to be completed was the table tennis racket.
Zhu Jingyuan's own drawings have the same shape as the common rackets of later generations, but the most important change is the addition of rubber.
Zhu Jingyuan picked up a racket, held it in his hand and felt it, then hit the ping pong ball against the wall a few times.
The existing table tennis balls are still made of nitrocellulose plastic. They are the small balls we used when we were very young, not the big plastic balls that came later.
It feels a bit hard and heavy in the hand, and makes a ping-pong sound when played. This is also the origin of the name table tennis.
With rackets and balls, wooden tables and courts are no problem and can be prepared at any time.
However, Zhu Jingyuan instinctively felt that these things could not be put directly into a serious place like the Forbidden City.
So Zhu Jingyuan chose a relatively spacious northern-style garden outside the Forbidden City and in the royal gardens of the Imperial City to store and test these things.
When the craftsmen delivered table tennis, badminton, and tennis balls and rackets, Zhu Jingyuan took Xiaona and several other maids to the prepared field to try it out.
Zhu Jingyuan explained from the side that he would first teach them how to fight, and then he would direct them from the side.
The final response has been great.
