Wife's Observation Log

Lan Wei’s main job is to see if the craftsmen are working diligently on R&D and how well they are doing. The workers don’t know much about the prototype of the steam engine she proposed, but the craftsmen who can’t wait to come to Beijing are all smart people. If the official asked for it, he did his best, and he did it in a decent way.But Hu Le said in a muffled voice that he thought it was not good, saying that it consumes coal and cools too slowly, so it has little use; military craftsmen also don’t like this idea, after all, the boiler uses their high-quality steel, even if the wall is not thick, it feels wasteful .

Of course, Lan Wei couldn’t say that she knew that the steam engine drove the first industrial revolution. It’s rare to have the superiority troubles of a traveler. In this winter, it is better to wash away the smell of blood and change the festival.It's New Year's Day, the first month, it's good to be a late New Year's gift.

Of course she didn't speak in a direct way. She first told the story of the differences between Hu Le and military craftsmen and other craftsmen in Tiangongyuan. She was about to throw out the invention of the steam engine, but Xie Zhen said: "I think we should listen to Hu Le and the others. I don’t know how to work, but it sounds like what they said makes sense, since you have appointed Hu Le as a subordinate official, you should value him more.”

"That's not the reason. The steam engine they invented is definitely a good thing. Using it to push a car must be faster than manpower?"

"You may have known a lot after being with them for a long time. My knowledge is still limited to books. You can teach me a lesson when you are free after work." Xie Zhen said in a slow but perfunctory voice, "If you ask me I can only teach you to control people, and I seldom ask you about your affairs in Tiangongyuan, after all, professional things should always be done professionally."

Although Xie Zhen said similar things before, the context was different. At that time, he offered to help, but now Lan Wei felt that there was a kind of tactful persuasion——Xie Zhen still told him to listen to Hu Le more.

Hu Le is indeed powerful, but she turned on the steam engine and saw the result, so there is really no way to explain it.And...if Xie Zhen doesn't agree so much in the industry, if he looks forward to the politics that she can't agree with, I'm afraid it's a tiger's beard instead of a military adviser.

The dejected Lan Wei returned to Tiangongyuan the next day. Hu Le was discussing something with a military craftsman. Seeing Lan Wei, Lan Wei saluted. Thinking about Xie Zhen's words, Lan Wei asked him if he thought the steam engine was not good. What suggestions for improvement do not.

Hu Le had been prepared for a long time, and showed the blueprint: "This is a device that uses gunpowder combustion as the 'power' you said, my lord. Compared with putting the boiler outside, we prefer built-in encryption."

Lan Wei didn't understand the built-in encryption for a while, but when Hu Le talked about the rise, he simply called this design an "internal combustion engine". After all, gunpowder deflagrates inside to generate power, so it can naturally be called "internal combustion".

In this way, the matter became clear, and Lan Wei was ashamed to death for her insistence.Although she never knew what the real structure of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine was, the internal combustion engine was still useful at the time she lived, and it didn't matter, or maybe the internal combustion engine was an upgraded version of the steam engine.This story fully tells us that even if you go back to brush with the strategy in ordinary time travel, you may not be able to win against the natives.In Xie Zhen, Lan Wei has already bowed to him, but Xie Zhen is almost the most outstanding talent supported by the best resources of Quanyan. Who would have thought that even "ordinary" craftsmen can do it if they really let them think about it? Concentrate on it?

The blows really came one after another, and Lan Wei hoped that Emperor Changning would order his Northern Expedition instead. Just as Xie Zhen said, "Professional things should always be done by professional people." Lan Wei is not really professional, so he almost used power Professionals have led astray, so since everything is on the right track, Lan Wei should hand over power and move the land to be the right way.

However, the food, grass and military equipment of the Ming and Ming Dynasties were always in a state of preparation for war, but the real edict to dispatch troops and generals had not been issued. Time gradually passed, and it was March of the 13th year of Changning.In fact, Changning had had several Northern Expeditions of average scale five years ago, and there were victories and defeats. Changning stopped for eight years after losing once in five years, but Bei Yuan was ready to move.Four years ago, Xie Zhen thought that the Northern Expedition should be taken after the winter, precisely because the Yuan army harassed Liaodong at that time.It's just that maybe the chieftains from all over the country are still making troubles, and Emperor Changning didn't make up his mind.But this time, Beiyuan Guogong turned red, and the Privy Council Zhiyuan Aizu led tens of thousands of people to Helin Tunza.

Since the battle is about to be fought and she wants to go, Lan Wei still needs to make preparations in advance. Whether it is from Xie Zhen or her cousin, she can hear the news from the sideline, so when she does not need to keep an eye on her, of course she sits Study these things in the government office of Tiangongyuan—the official documents are mainly handled by Le Shaofeng. The officer did paddling.

But at this moment, Le Shaofeng reported illness.While Lan Wei has to deal with official documents, she also has to go to see a doctor.

Le Shaofeng was still in good spirits, and she was not bedridden, but she couldn't stop coughing and wheezing when she saw Lan Wei in the study, and when she felt better, she talked about some unimportant business.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Le's willingness to come to Tiangong Academy really helped a lot."

"Help...to share the worries of the country, and it is the duty of a courtier."

"Although it is a duty, it can be seen that it is beneficial to the country, and not everyone can do it." It may be because there is really a friendship with colleagues. Seeing Le Shaofeng's sick face, Lan Wei insisted The way of sending out compliments is hard work.

"I am old and frail, and I have no insight, but as long as I see Zemin at the helm, I will do my best as a courtier." Le Shaofeng stopped and coughed twice, "This is the truth. What about leaving a name in history? It is easy to devote one's life to leaving one's name in history, but it is not easy to devote oneself to the direction of leaving a name in history, and who doesn't believe in His Highness's vision?"

"Your Highness?" Lan Wei couldn't help blurting out for a moment, Le Shaofeng looked at her surprised eyes but didn't understand, and asked her "what's the matter".

Lan Wei calmed down, and said politely, "I am at the helm, and I am Your Majesty. Mr. Le must be careful with his words, especially if he is not talking about the Hu Party."

Le Shaofeng actually laughed when he heard the words, but just a smile caused him to cough again. He waved his hands and declined to help, and after coughing for a while, he said, "Your Highness, do you know that Lan Gongshi is so careful? Cliques are eliminated, and the royal party... "

"It's true that everyone is dedicated to being the emperor, but who knows if there are any villains who want to stir up troubled waters to get in?"

"That's not what I mean," Le Shaofeng shook her head, "Your Majesty and Your Highness are originally one body, not divided into two parties."

Lan Wei was even more puzzled. The political views of Emperor Changning and Xie Zhen had always been at odds. It will never be chasing rumors.

Le Shaofeng saw her puzzlement, lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally said it through: "You just look at the case of the Hu party. In the big politics, your highness kills and makes decisions. Isn't it disrespectful to your father? Your highness is usually benevolent and treats meritorious deeds. The old officials are more friendly, so they plead for mercy. Jing Lian...Song Lian, Gui Yanliang, and even the King of Qin have all received His Highness's kindness. But if His Majesty is determined to deal with it, His Highness is probably a big axe, so how could he rely on pleading? Let it go? My relationship with the Crown Prince is different from his..."

After listening to Le Shaofeng's analysis, Lan Wei realized that in the eyes of the officials, the positions of Xie Zhen and Emperor Changning were basically the same. The reason for the emperor's attitude is almost the obvious support. This support is not only due to civil servants but also a large number of meritorious deeds. Xie Zhen also won over the poor in the imperial examination, and his power is far greater than that of the prince.It is impossible for other kings to have Xie Zhen's power, fame and methods, and there is no threat of changing the reserve. In other words, the world can only be inherited by Xie Zhen.

Unless... Xie Zhen died himself.

Lan Wei finally became transparent, so she finally didn't have to worry about Xie Zhen's court problems. No matter how violent and moody Emperor Changning was, he didn't seem to be much different from Zhu Yuanzhang in history. Very good, the policy is very clear, the problem lies in The sample of Zhu Biao that she should learn from died of illness at the beginning, how to prevent it?

Before she had time to worry about Xie Zhen's body for a while, Emperor Changning slapped her in the face because of her speculation that she was "not much different from Zhu Yuanzhang". Abdicated the following year.

Without discussing with anyone, the Ministry of Rites was unprepared, Changning Emperor Xie Jue will become the Supreme Emperor in a year, and he is still a Supreme Emperor who is not in the circle and does not care about politics.

If you look at it in the history books, it is really a conspiracy theory. Who in the founding of the country was so good in front of the emperor that he suddenly dropped the pick?It must be the prince who forced the palace.But if Xie Zhen really has this plan, Lan Wei can't be unaware.

In April of the 13th year of Changning, Emperor Changning announced to send troops to Beiyuan. After sending the Hu Weiyong case, he trusted Xu Da, who had offended too many Huaixi factions and was not suitable to stay in the army, as the general, and sent troops to Beiyuan.The grain and grass have already been dispatched first, and Lan Wei is assigned to supervise the transportation of the second batch. After she arrives in Shanxi, she will mobilize the troops of Yao Chengsi's guards in the territory, and then join Xu Da's main force.Of course, Lan Wei, who was sent out in a hurry, didn't know Xie Zhen's mood until a long time later.

Rebellion against the party, border chaos, and palace changes, if you think about it, it is a year full of glory in the history books, and Xie Zhen, who is as stable as Mount Tai, is the beginning of an emperor through the ages. The pride of a good general, he didn't think too much about the identity of a virtuous queen.

So when Xu Miaoyun took a wedding invitation and said that Lan Wei "doesn't understand", Lan Wei didn't make any comments, but was flushed out of thin air by her late brain supplement - if there is a grand marriage with Xie Zhen, it will definitely be so explode.
