Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Why is it that even though we were laughing, the atmosphere seems to be getting more depressing again?"

Zhang Xin's thoughts were still on the interesting topic that Zhu Gaochi was talking about, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see what Zhu Gaochi said was interesting, so he joked.

"No, it's interesting to hear about the family affairs of local officials, but it's a bit disturbing to think that they are greedy for money from the court."

Zhu Gaochi came to his senses and answered.

"The loyalty of court officials is always difficult to obtain. Human nature is greedy. Since you are still capable, I will give you a few words of warning so that you can be more open-minded."

Zhang Xin feels that she is very open-minded.

For example, she felt that not living long was the price she had to pay.

But based on what was just said on the jade ruyi, she also wanted to greedily believe it.

Maybe it’s because everyone hopes that she can live a few more years and watch her grandson grow up?

The human heart has no end.

“I really don’t find them difficult.”

Zhu Gaochi curled his lips.

"Your Highness should be as patient as you were when you were the Crown Prince."

Zhang Xin knew that Zhu Gaochi was feeling uncomfortable.

"Well, patience is not as good as before."

Zhu Gaochi also admitted this.

"There are countless people in the world. If they are corrupt, it is easy to replace them. It is really difficult to deal with those honest people."

If we really compare, Zhang Xin would rather hire someone who is capable, even if he or she is a little greedy.

The greater your ability, the greater your expenses.

vice versa.

As long as the standards are there, governing a country is the same as governing a family, it's just a matter of turning a blind eye.

"I'm not afraid of that. I can teach at the Imperial College."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"You know this, why are you still entangled in that!"

Zhang Xinxu glared at Zhu Gaochi.

For ordinary people, the difficulties they encounter are mostly insufficient money and famine at home.

Having a capable local official who can develop the area and ensure that all newborns can survive is better than anything else.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Next time we dock, let's change our clothes and go for a walk?"

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to change the subject.

"Okay. It's been a while since I last went ashore."

Zhang Xin nodded in agreement.

Zhu Gaochi immediately asked Wanxiu to find Zhang Xin's home clothes. He also asked Qianer to find a few casual clothes in the box to match Zhang Xin's. When he was excitedly trying to show Zhang Xin, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside.

boom----

The treasure ship that was moving was shaken by the loud noise.

There was a series of booms, slightly less powerful than the first, followed by crackling noises that sounded like firecrackers.

As the cabin window creaked, a piece of jade made a crisp sound and flew into the cabin.

"careful!"

Zhu Gaochi took a quick step forward and used the cloak in his hand to wrap up the fragment of Qiulin flying towards Zhang Xin.

Qian'er saw that Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Xin were fine, and the windows began to let in cool air, so he left the cabin immediately.

It soon became noisy outside and the boat slowly stopped.

The noise did not continue, but Zhang Xin soon smelled smoke:

"There's a boat on fire. Is it a steamer that exploded?"

"I guess so."

Zhu Gaochi also made this speculation.

When the steam boiler was first made, it exploded many times.

After the improvement, it will still explode if the water is not replenished in time.

"When will we have a foolproof steamer?"

Zhang Xin sighed, various technological improvements in recent years have been accompanied by various casualties.

"That's unlikely. People who can swim can drown. If that happens, there's no telling."

Zhu Gaochi also began to smell the scent.

The smoke is not thick and has a slightly sweet taste.

"Well, roll up your sleeves and put your things away. It will be dark by the time you are done. It won't be too late to look at it tomorrow."

Zhang Xin ordered.

"Put my clothes together so I don't have to do it again."

Zhu Gaochi also gave some instructions, then helped Zhang Xin sit down and wait for news.

In just half a quarter of an hour, there was movement outside the door.

Chi'er is back.

Bring a few boatmen to clean up the broken jade and put up temporary window paper.

Only half a quarter of an hour had passed since Zhang Xin and Zhu Gaochi moved to the reception room when Wei Guan and Wen Beijiao also came over.

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, Your Highness, Crown Princess, Lord Wei, Mr. Wen requests to see you."

"come in."

The two of them walked into the cabin in two steps, and after paying their respects, they began to apologize.

"Chen Wan is dead!"

"Death to the common people!"

"Get up, get up, don't keep talking about death. I don't like to hear it. What happened? Are there any casualties?"

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and Qian'er stepped forward to help the man.

"Your Highness, the furnace on the Taoist priests' ship exploded."

"However, it was the alchemists' furnace that was blown up. No one was injured except the alchemist who was making the alchemy and had his hand injured by the explosion."

"Your Highness, the Taoist's ship blew through two cabins and one window."

"Your Highness, this ship is the closest. It was hit by debris and needs minor repairs."

Wei Guan and Wen Beijiao worked together very well and reported the matter.

"Are they still refining the elixir on the boat?"

Zhang Xin was speechless.
