Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 201 I am a baby daddy in Daming

The six four-wheeled carriages exhibited in the Jiangnan Tannery were finally auctioned for a total of 43 taels of silver, with an average price of 7 taels of silver, which greatly exceeded expectations.

Li Cunming allocated this sum of money directly to the Military Academy, and asked Bi Dengfu to lead the craftsmen to continue making carriages and increase the income of the court.

And Cao Huachun went to the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion to hold a charity banquet, and held a special fundraising event by pre-selling four-wheeled carriages. With his reputation as a big devil, he raised funds for eight counties to build cement road funds.

The wave of four-wheeled carriages soon became popular in the Jiangnan area, and many wealthy people wanted to buy them.

The four-wheeled carriage is different from the backpack made by the Jiangnan Tannery Factory. The core technology is firmly in the hands of the Military Academy, and it cannot be imitated casually, especially the manufacture of ball bearings, which is completely the ceiling of production technology in this era.

Having mastered the most critical core technology, the four-wheeled carriage can really be sold as the Rolls Royce of the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, Li Cunming ordered that in addition to satisfying the needs of the rich, the Military Academy should manufacture more freight wagons, which will be used to transport military rations in the future to further solve the problem of military logistics and transportation.

That afternoon, Li Cunming was in a good mood. He read several memorials in the Hall of Martial Heroes, and suddenly asked, "Wang Daban, I remember sending Qu Shixu, Liu Zhiyuan and others to discuss the glass business with the Zheng family last year. Why has there been no news?"

Wang Chengen replied: "This is a commercial matter, and it is under the control of Xichang. The old slave is not sure about the specific situation. But it is really strange that Qu Shichun and others have never returned to Nanjing."

"When Cao Huachun comes back, let him come to see me." Li Cunming frowned slightly, thinking something strange.

At this moment, an explosion was heard suddenly, and the glazed tiles on the Wuying Hall shook.

"What's going on?" Li Cunming jumped up and hurriedly called Wang Chengen to run out of the hall.

Fortunately, after the explosion, there was no abnormality. A few tiles were lost in the Hall of Martial Heroes, and the damage was slight, and no one was injured.

Wang Chengen shouted: "Your Majesty, look quickly, it seems that the East Palace is flooded!"

Li Cunming looked up, and sure enough, he saw a puff of black smoke rising from the direction of the East Palace.At the same time, many eunuchs and maids shouted in disorder: "It's gone, it's gone..."

"Quickly transfer the water truck into the palace to put out the fire! Let's go, follow me to see what's going on." Li Cunming ordered, and worried about Zhu Cijiong's safety, he hurried to the East Palace.

When they came to the East Palace, they saw the eunuchs splashing water in a hurry to put out the fire. More than half of a side hall collapsed, and the flames were rising, and the injured people were continuously carried out from the palace.

And the thick smoke in the air choked the nose, mixed with a smoky stench.God, it doesn't smell so bad after blowing up the cesspit!

The Empress and Concubine Yuan also rushed over, and the Empress asked in one voice, "Where is the Prince, where is the Prince?"

Li Cunming didn't see Zhu Cijiong either, so he called a eunuch in the East Palace and asked, "Where is the prince?"

The eunuch cried, "I don't know..."

"Trash!" Li Cunming stomped his feet and cursed.

Just as he was talking, he caught sight of Zhu Cihong coming out of the palace with a disheveled face. This kid had disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. He seemed to have just crawled out of the rubble, but he was pacing with his hands behind his back, walking in a calm and composed manner.

The queen hurried over to hug Zhu Cijiong, looked left and right, and said anxiously: "Prince, are you not injured?"

"It's okay..." Zhu Cijiong grinned.

Li Cunming asked: "What's going on?"

"Father did not allow me to live in the Xianliang Temple, but insisted on letting me live in the East Palace. I had to study firearms in the East Palace. Unexpectedly, several barrels of black powder stored in the side hall spontaneously ignited due to moisture and exploded. Fortunately, I was not in the side hall at the time. In the hall."

Li Cunming's eyelids jumped wildly, and he cursed: "Little bastard, don't die! Wait a minute, the black powder exploded, why is it so stinky?"

"Teacher Bi is studying vermicompost, and Erchen is very interested. He used pig manure to raise earthworms in the side hall where the black powder is stored, and made a worm bed. When the black powder exploded, the pig manure probably flew away."

Li Cunming clutched his cheeks, his stomach ached.

Empress Zhou scolded: "Prince, when will you let the emperor and the empress worry? There was an explosion, why did you walk out slowly, don't you know how to run for your life?"

Zhu Cijiong stood with his hands behind his back, straightened his chest and said, "A true hero, he never looks back when encountering an explosion, and never panics!"

hiss!Li Cunming had a stomachache, a toothache, and a headache.

Little brat, where did you learn such a sentence?Could it be that you also came here through time travel and watched the movie "The True Colors of a Hero"?
Li Cunming was so angry that he took off his shoes and went to beat Zhu Cijiong, but was stopped by the queen.

"A loving mother often loses her children, a loving mother loses her children!" Li Cunming watched Zhu Cijiong take the opportunity to run away, and he felt that he was about to explode.

……

After such a ridiculous incident, Li Cunming issued an order to allow Zhu Cijiong to continue to live in the Xianliang Temple, and at the same time sent a thousand soldiers to guard him, and he also ordered the guards to pay attention to the prince's safety at all times.

"Zhu Cijiong is still not suitable to be the crown prince of a country!" Li Cunming thought to himself.

With such a thought, he set his sights on Yongwang Zhu Cizhao.

One is to train Zhu Cizhen on purpose, and the other is to make up for Chongzhen's debt to the children. Li Cunming specially ordered Zhu Cizhen and Princess Zhaoren to move into Qianqing Palace, and he brought them with him every day to educate them.

When I have free time, I accompany my two children to read, write and recite poetry.

At the same time, teach them some basic knowledge of modern science, tell them about the ocean, land, astronomy, mathematics, and geometry. We are determined to train these two children to be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty who have learned both Chinese and Western!
"Have you ever wondered why the fruit falls from the tree?" Li Cunming asked.

"The fruit is ripe." Zhu Cizhao said.

Princess Zhaoren said in a milky voice, "Father, I want to eat grapes, apples, peaches, pears..."

Li Cunming pouted, and took them to the Qin Tianjian at night, observed the starry sky with a telescope, pointed to the stars in the sky and said:

"Did you see it? It's the Big Dipper. If you find the Big Dipper, you can quickly identify the North Star. If you walk at night and lose your way, you can use the North Star to confirm your direction."

"Here, follow the extended handle of the Big Dipper to find Arcturus in the constellation Bootes. Look, isn't it very bright?"

"Really, what a bright star!" Zhu Cizhao cheered happily, full of interest.

Princess Zhaoren grabbed Li Cunming's clothes, her small body leaned against her father's legs, yawned, and said to herself: "I want to eat grapes, I want to sleep..."

Li Cunming smiled, picked up Princess Zhaoren, and thought to himself: "I am a baby daddy in the Ming Dynasty, and this feeling is not bad!"

In order to better train the princes in a systematic way, Li Cunming decreed to reopen the sutra feast.Jingyan is an imperial lecture seat specially set up for the emperor in ancient times. It is an important way for the emperor to improve his self-quality while handling state affairs.

In history, Emperor Chongzhen has been in power for 17 years. No matter how busy the state affairs are, he has never missed a Jingban event, rain or shine.

After Li Cunming crossed, he fought continuously for the past two years, and the Jingyan was interrupted.

Now that the sutra banquet is reopening, he himself needs to learn, and more importantly, he gathers the learned people from all over the country to teach the prince.

Not wanting to reopen the sutra feast on the first day, there was a big trouble.It turned out that the emperor invited Tang Ruowang to be the lecturer of the banquet this time, but he was resisted by the people.
