Ran Siniang could understand Zhu Qiyu's words. To be precise, Ran Siniang finished reading the simple version of Jingtai almanac during her boring journey all the way south.

In the conjectures of Belin, Xu Dun, and Li Binyan, the rotation of the sun and planets is due to the existence of vortices.

This may be the original conjecture of gravity.

Ran Siniang looked at the pocket watch, dazed, it was really beautiful, especially under the incandescent light of the lime blowtorch, the emerald shone with a dark green light.

The gemstones come from the tribute of the Xuanwei Division of Burma, and this pocket watch was made by His Majesty himself.

Valuable.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang's eyes with the look of a woman wanting to take the beautiful glitter as her own, and said with a smile: "I made it for Yu Shaobao. I originally wanted to use jade, but this jade is more beautiful, so I chose it." Emerald."

"The concubine didn't ask for it. Seeing how rare your Majesty looks." Ran Siniang endured the pain and said, the case of this pocket watch was made of three layers of hollow gold, which was extremely delicate. She thought that His Majesty would reward her if he finished it.

But the dial is obviously very atmospheric, not for women.

"This thing is very difficult to make. The weight of the entire tourbillon is only about three centimeters, and it requires a skillful hand." Zhu Qiyu continued to make it, explaining the technical difficulty while talking.

The total weight of the cage and tourbillon does not exceed three centimeters, which is about 1g.

During the reign of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi spent a total of 590 cents, 510 cents, [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] cent, [-] sudden and [-] micron in order to repair the three main halls that were destroyed by the sky fire. The unit is accurate to one micron.

A catty of Ming Dynasty is about 593 grams, a minute is about 0.33 grams, and three centimeters is 1 g.

If the weight of the tourbillon is greater than 1g, it will lose the meaning of production, because too heavy will consume too much energy of the spring steel spring, which will eventually lead to inaccurate travel time.

After the first tourbillon watch was made, Zhu Qiyu's second one was quickly assembled.

Zhu Qiyu, who expected the enemy to be lenient, of course did not prepare one set of materials, but prepared many copies. In order to meet His Majesty's needs, Xing'an carried out extremely strict checks on the dimensions on the design drawings, and the tolerance accuracy was within a strand of hair. within the range.

Zhu Qiyu used a ruby ​​for the second piece, and after he finished applying tung oil, he looked at Ran Siniang, who was slightly disappointed and sullen.

Sure enough, I was still a little disappointed.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang with a full smile and said with a soft smile: "Oh, are you still angry?"

"My concubine is a favorite concubine. I am happy to see Lie Xin, so I dare not get angry." Ran Siniang's hand kept wrapping around. She liked it, but she couldn't ask for it. It was rewarded by His Majesty to the servants.

Zhu Qiyu locked the bracelet of the pocket watch, lifted it up and said, "This one is yours, with a piece of red corundum tribute from the Xuanwei Department of Burma added."

"Ah?" Ran Siniang looked at the pocket watch in surprise, and suddenly realized that His Majesty has always been kind to those around him, so naturally he will not be stingy if there is something extra.

Red corundum is ruby. All facets of the gem are bright red, shining under the lime blowtorch. The rich fine rutile needle mist in the gem forms starlight, like the bright galaxy above the nine heavens.

Ran Siniang stared blankly at the ruby ​​pocket watch, unable to put it down.

No woman can refuse gems, if there are, then two.

"Is the menstrual event gone?" Zhu Qiyu pulled Ran Siniang, who was admiring the pocket watch, into his arms and asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Ran Siniang said with a flushed face, "I have wronged my husband, my concubine said before that I can let my husband try another place."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "We are not hungry, this woman's menstruation is the most susceptible to infection, aren't we worried about Ran Siniang's body?"

The other place Ran Siniang said was naturally another place.

As the saying goes, three flats are not as good as one round. Ran Siniang is a doctor herself, and in medical skills, there is a way to clean that place, and it is extremely clean.

But after Ran Siniang proposed, she was rejected by Zhu Qiyu.

"The concubine is just a village woman in the barren land of Yunnan, Guizhou, how can she be so lovable by Your Majesty." Ran Siniang hugged Zhu Qiyu's neck, her eyes were full of emotion.

Zhu Qiyu pressed his forehead against Ran Siniang's, and said in a low voice: "In my eyes, you are Ran Guiren from Tai'an Palace, and the judge of the Daming Tai Hospital. You are worthy of all good things."

Ran Siniang is also the general office of the Mizhou Kangfuxin Liquid Medicine Factory, the same is the general office of the Pharmaceutical Bureau of Daming Tai Hospital, and now it is the general office of the Songjiang Soap Factory. made a great contribution to the promotion.

In Zhu Qiyu's view, there is no need for Ran Siniang to humiliate herself.

Zhu Qiyu was really not very interested in the other proposal proposed by Ran Siniang, so he refused.

"Actually, it can be beautiful. I heard that many concubines in ancient times did this. Firstly, it was for the sake of favor, and secondly, it was for eternal youth." Ran Siniang's voice was like that of a mosquito.

At first Ran Siniang was also surprised and shy, but later she was eager to try, she thought His Majesty would agree, but His Majesty strongly disagreed, especially during menstruation, it is easy to get infected.

Ran Siniang's body has a problem, where can Zhu Qiyu find such a reassuring and well-trained imperial physician?

Ran Siniang is a noble person, not a queen, and she doesn't have the burden of being a mother, so it's not a shame to do everything she can to invite favors.

"How is the soap factory?" Zhu Qiyu bypassed the topic and asked what Ran Siniang was busy with recently.

Songjiang Mansion was the bridgehead for the transformation of the small peasant economy into a commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty, and had already half-stepped into the scope of the commodity economy.

Even if the soap factory is set up elsewhere, it will eventually be collected and distributed in Songjiang Prefecture, and then sent to major cities for distribution.

Ran Siniang put the complexion radiant fat and sulfur soap, which obviously have commodity attributes, in Songjiang Mansion, which is a good choice.

Ran Siniang began to talk about the completion of the soap factory in detail, and there were still some orders assigned. The production of sulfur soap was not complicated, but the quality of the Songjiang soap factory was excellent, and orders flooded in before it landed.

The main source of sulfur for sulfur soap is the country of Japan, which has an excellent quality of sulfur and a huge output.

Wa country once again made its own contribution to the hygiene and health of Ming Dynasty.

Guangyue fat is expensive and scarce in quantity, so it cannot be distributed and can only be sold in stores by itself.

The price of one tael of Guangyue Fat is seventeen silver coins, which is about the listed price of one tael of gold.

The price of Guangyue Fat is equivalent to the same weight of gold.

Zhu Qiyu was quite puzzled about the pricing, and asked suspiciously, "It's so expensive, is there anyone buying it?"

"The order for delivery will be around July next year, and this has been selected." Ran Siniang said with a smile.

Zhu Qiyu really underestimated women's pursuit of beauty and beauty. The soap factory has not yet landed, and the Guangyue fat has been sold until July next year, and the Guangyue fat has actually been sold as futures.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the humidity of the rainy season was swept away by the sun, and the weather became hot.

"generally."

When Zhu Qiyu woke up, his evaluation was: average.

On the official road with flat and hardened roads, the big driver Mercedes-Benz is fast and not bumpy, and the comfort level is full, but on the rough road, it is not fast, and it is easy to overturn.

But Ran Siniang felt that His Majesty was very stubborn, stretched lazily, lazily, with a spring breeze in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't get out of bed, my husband should use less strength next time, I can't stand it anymore." of."

"Not coming! Not coming!" Ran Siniang's voice suddenly rose.

……

Zhu Qiyu did not leave Huangpu Bieyuan, but was dealing with official documents from the capital. He asked Xing'an to give Yu Qian the pocket watch he had made.

But Zhu Qiyu was flipping through the map of Songjiang Mansion.

In later generations, there is a theory called geographical determinism, which is regarded by many people as the treasure of Le Guiyin.

This theory holds that people's living habits and cultural characteristics are formed by their geographical conditions.

Zhu Qiyu partially agrees with this point.

Because Songjiang Mansion was able to develop from a remote prefecture full of cotton fields to become the largest city department in Ming Dynasty, a department store distribution city, and the richest place in Ming Dynasty. mouth.

Huatianbao, a thoroughfare to nine provinces, is the natural advantage of Songjiang Mansion.

The official road post road of Daming, before this, did not directly reach the official road post road of Songjiang Mansion, and the official road post road of Daming went directly from Suzhou to Hangzhou Mansion.

The only water horse station in Songjiang Prefecture is still from Suzhou to Liujiagang, which is the starting point of Zheng He's voyages to the West.

But today, Songjiang Prefecture is full of official roads and post roads, extending in all directions, the roads are wide and the roads have basically been hardened.

But is it only due to geography that makes Songjiang Mansion so prosperous?

Take the Huangpu River in front of Zhu Qiyu as an example. The original Huangpu River could not be used for shipping, because the water volume was extremely small and it was often congested.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Xia Yuanji was elected to the imperial examination, and was recommended by the township to enter the Taixue, and was selected as the imperial edict of Zhongshu Province.

In the 26th year of Hongwu, the Wusong River was seriously blocked. Xia Yuanji asked for an order to come to Songjiang Prefecture to control the water. He dug and widened Fanjiabang near the Wusong River, dredged the river several times, and finally formed the current Huangpu water system.

And Li Binyan also recruited civilians many times to dredge waterways, build roads and bridges, and finally formed the current network of waterways and roads extending in all directions, which became the blood of the entire Songjiang Mansion and continuously injected vitality into this miracle city.

Therefore, the geographical location of Songjiang Mansion determines that Songjiang Mansion may take off, but it is still people who can make Songjiang Mansion take off.

It is up to heaven to make things happen, but it is up to people to plan things.

Standing on the Wenhua Building in Bieyuan, Zhu Qiyu overlooked the entire Songjiang Mansion, feeling mixed feelings for a moment. There are still many problems in this rapidly rising city, but there is no doubt that this place has become the carriage of the Ming economy.

He saw Yu Qian, Lu Zhong, Yang Han, and Li Binyan came to the gate of Huangpu Bieyuan. Zhu Qiyu went down the stairs and came to the downstairs of Wenhua, just in time to meet four people.

"Is there any clue about the Songjiang shipyard case?" Zhu Qiyu saw the four people coming together, and guessed their purpose.

"Yes." Yu Qian handed a memorial to Xing'an.

Lu Zhong, Yang Han, Li Binyan, and Xing'an all produced a memorial.

Zhu Qiyu had five memorials in his hand, he opened Yu Qian's memorials, and through the sea of ​​information, Yu Qian discovered the key person.

Yang Han found the poisonous snake hiding in the shadows through clues.

Lu Zhong passed through the Yebushoumen of the Beijing Army, detected the intelligence, and then locked the leader of the thief.

Li Binyan said in the memorandum that the inspection department discovered information about more than a dozen Japanese pirates and pirates cruising around the Zhoushan Islands, and followed the vines to find the key person who communicated with each other.

"Your Majesty, I see that you are late! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong ran into Huangpu Beiyuan, panting and handed the memorial in his hand to Xing'an, holding his knees out of breath, intermittently Said: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's holy bow."

Xu Chengzong has been inquiring about that key person, which really made him inquire. As soon as he heard the news, Xu Chengzong scribbled a letter and came to see him.

"Wei Guogong is not too late." Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Chengzong's appearance and said with a smile: "Xing'an, give me a seat, let Wei Guogong take a rest. I am tired from running, so it can be seen that I am really in a hurry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Chengzong represented the attitude of all the top nobles on the ground in Nanya.

He didn't come too late, Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Xu Chengzong, and it was not in vain that he pardoned Xu Chengzong in Xuzhou.

Xu Chengzong's news is no different from the others.

"Xing'an, is this decree written by Empress Dowager Sun? Sun Xianzong is her second elder brother." Zhu Qiyu patted the last memorial with playfulness in his eyes.

Xing'an also handed over a memorial. Besides the memorial, there was also a piece of imperial edict on Koryo tribute paper, which was handwritten by Empress Dowager Sun herself.

The Empress Dowager Sun actually had information, and it had the effect of finalizing all doubts.

This key person is Sun Xianzong, the second son of Huichang Uncle Sunzhong.

Sun Xianzong communicated with the Japanese pirates and the remnants of the Confucian mansion outside, and he was good at dancing inside, with a wide range of transportation.

They came together not to overthrow the Ming regime, but to physically kill the emperor.

Uncle Sun Zhong of Huichang had four sons. After the failure of the rebellion, all families in Uncle Huichang's house were executed except the Queen Mother Sun.

Uncle Sun Zhong of Huichang is definitely a smart man, but his son can be called a filial son of extermination. Filial piety has achieved heights, innovations, levels, ideas, and strength.

Sun Zhong knew clearly that the rebellion of the Nanya Dynasty was impossible to win. After knowing that the eldest son was going to rebel, he arranged for the second son Xianzong to fake his death, and warned the second son to be a good person after changing his name and surname, and not to think about revenge.

Be a rich man with peace of mind.

Sun Xianzong wrote a letter and sent it to Queen Mother Sun. Queen Mother Sun's choice was to write an edict, calling Sun Xianzong a counterfeit traitor.

"Yes, Empress Dowager Sun wrote a handwritten letter. All the households in Uncle Huichang's residence have been executed. Your Majesty, please execute the traitors who pretended to be impostors." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Sun Xianzong's letter could be delivered to Queen Mother Sun, so Xing'an had let it go on purpose, he was just testing.

Whenever the Empress Dowager Sun moved a little bit, Xing'an would do it immediately. He didn't mind replacing the Empress Dowager Sun with himself at all, so as to prevent future troubles for His Majesty forever.

Empress Dowager Sun died of a sudden illness. Naturally, someone has to bear the consequences. Sometimes Xing'an feels that His Majesty loves people too much. Whether it is Lu Zhong or Xing'an, as long as he is willing to part with one, he can get rid of Empress Dowager Sun without any future problems.

Even if the price is Xing'an himself.

But after receiving the letter, Empress Dowager Sun immediately issued a decree, asking Your Majesty to kill the rebels, so as to set the record straight.

Huichangbo's mansion is dead, and Sun Xianzong is a fake!

This is the attitude of Queen Mother Sun.

Xing'an was still a little disappointed.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "We must do it when the Zhenguan treasure ship is launched. The stage is set up, and we will wait for them to come on stage."

Sun Xianzong, together with all kinds of remnants, and a group of rich businessmen, chose the time when the treasure ship was launched.

On this day, Chong Wang Zhu Jianji and Ji Wang Zhu Jianshen, as the princes on the southern tour, will also watch the ceremony.

This is also the reason why Queen Mother Sun made such a decision.

Whether it is Sun Zhong, Sun Jizong, or Sun Xianzong who is reincarnated from the filthy soil, even if they succeed in their rebellion, they will not treat the whole family of the Ji Palace as people, but only as a tool of power.

Ji Wang Zhu Jianshen was the eldest son, and he was young and wise. At that time, he had no intention of letting Zhu Jianshen live.

But His Majesty is not like that at all, at least His Majesty likes Ji Wang Zhu Jianshen, and every year he will give five pieces of caramel candies, and those five pieces of caramel candies are the reassurance of Queen Mother Sun.
