Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face.

But with a hint of regret, he said, "But I can't hug her."

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Yingtian Prefecture, Qianqing Palace.

"A-choo." Zhu Yunhuan was about to write down his comments on a memorial when he sneezed for no apparent reason. He rubbed his nose and muttered inwardly, "Who's teasing me behind my back?"

"Oh, I'm afraid the weather has gotten colder. I'll light the charcoal stove for you right away." Ma Sanbao, who was waiting on the side, said with a slightly changed expression.

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand, stretched himself, and jokingly said, "That's not necessary. I don't feel cold at all. It's probably just that there are more people outside cursing at me, haha."

His previous "actions" had already been criticized by both the government and the public, and he had already received a lot of insults.

Plus a few days ago.

He also established the Coal Transportation Bureau with great fanfare, without keeping it secret or concealing it at all. Now everyone in the government and the country knew that he was spending money to dig coal mines.

Yan Guan submitted a memorial to impeach the emperor, which caused great uproar among the people and naturally led to a lot of criticism.

The people knew very well what the effect would be when burning unprocessed coal, so they naturally thought his actions were becoming more and more ridiculous.

This is another reason why Zhu Yunhuan gave up on keeping it secret: even if he did this in a high-profile manner, others would not be able to guess his true intentions.

After all, who could have thought.

He has a way to turn these useless stones into anthracite.

As for coal, which is such a common thing, no one would suspect the mystery in the thing itself and investigate the coal he transported to all parts of the country.

This is called "Mingdu Chencang".

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan teasing him, Ma Sanbao's face suddenly showed a trace of anger: "What do the court officials understand? What do the people understand? Every time they only wronged your Majesty's hard work!"

During these few days, Ma Sanbao was really heartbroken and angry.

He had served Zhu Yunhuan for many years and watched his master grow up. He never expected that his master had suffered grievances when he was a child and was still suffering grievances now that he became emperor.

Zhu Yunhuan, on the other hand, was quite calm and could even make fun of himself.

for him.

These are not things he needs to care about.

To be able to sit in this position, one should be able to bend when necessary and stretch when necessary. Those who achieve great things should never lose their composure over these trivial matters.

Besides, this was already within his calculations and expectations, or in other words, this was the effect he wanted.

"Don't mention this again in the future." Zhu Yunhuan reminded.

Then he raised his eyebrows and picked up the pen to continue writing the comments he was about to write.

"I understand."

Ma Sanbao responded and immediately pursed his lips.

Zhu Yunhuan had just closed the memorial in his hand and was about to open the next one when the eunuch guarding the door walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Works Qin Kui requests an audience with Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunhuan put down the imperial calligraphy in his hand.

A slight thought came to his mind: "Transmit it."

The microscope has complete and detailed blueprints, so it won't be too technically difficult to build. It should be built in a few days.

Soon, Qin Kui walked in, holding an object covered in red silk cloth. "Your humble servant, Qin Kui, pays homage to Your Majesty! I'd like to take a look at the object Your Majesty asked me to cast a few days ago."

He lowered his head and bowed, holding the objects in his hands with both hands.

Ma Sanbao immediately stepped forward to take it and placed it on the dragon desk in front of Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Yunhuan casually peeled off the red silk cloth and threw it aside. A simple microscope came into view. After examining it carefully, Zhu Yunhuan nodded and said, "It looks quite decent."

After all, there are detailed drawings, so the appearance cannot be changed.

However, to know the actual effect, he needed to install the convex lens he had ground previously in the eyepiece and objective lens positions respectively, and then test it after focusing.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Go wait outside the hall first."

The specific use of this thing does not involve the Ministry of Works for the time being, so he did not intend to let Qin Kui understand the purpose of making this thing.

"Yes, then I will take my leave for now."

Qin Kui didn't ask any more questions. He bowed and walked out.

See Qin Kui leave the Qianqing Palace.

Ma Sanbao immediately walked to the antique display cabinet nearby and took down a medium-sized brocade box, then took out the convex lens that had been stored in it.

When Zhu Yunhuan gave the blueprint, he left a loophole for replacing the lens. The craftsmanship and precision of the Ministry of Works were impeccable, and Zhu Yunhuan quickly and successfully installed the lens.

He stood up.

Take a deep breath.

He randomly plucked a brush hair from the end of a clean brush and placed it on the stage. Then he put one eye close to the eyepiece and began to twist the knob to adjust the focus.

Naturally, everything in front of me was blurry at first.

But as Zhu Yunhuan turned the focusing knob, after some adjustments, his vision quickly became clear—a strand of hair magnified approximately one or two hundred times appeared! While the level of microscopic detail was still far less than that of later generations, this level of detail was enough to shock anyone of this era.

Zhu Yunhuan understood one thing from the beginning.

If one wants to fully develop the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not enough to rely on him alone, and he certainly cannot think comprehensively about some details and professional things.

So he needed Wang Zhen's descendants, people like Zhu Su.

What he needs to do is not to bring all the things from later generations over. His brain cannot do that. What he can do is to introduce concepts and let them grow wildly.

For example, at this moment: the introduction of microscopic concepts.

"Come here, go to the medical center and bring King Zhou to me!" Zhu Yunhuan raised his head and gave the order.
