What difference is there between two or three years of suffering and a life of widowhood? What difference is there between a magnificent palace and a gilded birdcage?
Even if he ate the most delicious food, wore silk and satin, lived in a luxurious palace, and had a large number of palace maids serving him, he probably wouldn't be very happy.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care about other emperors, nor could he control them. But he had to make his own women happy. Although it would be tiring, it was still far from being exhausted to death!
Besides, I don't work every day. I just sleep, and there's quite a lot of time spent sleeping.
Wanting to have a good sleep and rest, Zhu Youxiao went to find the Queen and Concubine Wang Liang. It was just right that she cared more about the pregnancy than he did.
To relax, Zhu Youxiao went to Changchun Palace. The two little princesses had just passed their hundredth day and were becoming increasingly adorable. Seeing them, he could temporarily escape from all his worries.
If you want to be surrounded by fiery passion, go to sleep with Concubine Duan Chun. However, her stomach was still, and her usual calmness was gradually replaced by urgency.
As for Li Chengcheng, he had to be more careful because his good friend Fan Xiaohui was around. Zhu Youxiao liked the feeling of being sneaky the most.
I tend to be impulsive in the morning. I heard that this is a normal physiological reaction and a sign that a man is healthy.
Under the emperor's beating, Li Chengcheng frowned, his head kept shaking from side to side, his eyes were blurred, but he still tried to stay awake, biting the silk handkerchief tightly to minimize the moans.
Zhu Youxiao liked it this way. He could use his literary skills to maintain peace in the country, and his martial arts skills to fight his way in and out of the ranks of beautiful women.
Finally the rain stopped and the two of them snuggled together softly. They had gotten up early to change clothes, and they were even out of clothes.
"Your Majesty..." After a long while, Li Chengcheng gently stroked the emperor's chest with one hand and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Please don't do it in the morning. Sometimes there are people outside."
I don't know anyone yet?
"Fan Xiaohui, why don't you just tell her? Aren't you two good friends?" Zhu Youxiao smiled mischievously and patted Li Chengcheng's face gently, but did not agree.
You are not outsiders. You are Concubine Li Cheng and she is Concubine Fan Hui. They are all my women. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
In the future, let's play with two phoenixes. Aren't you two good friends? I won't be partial. It's fair to treat everyone equally.
Li Chengcheng was also helpless. She knew that if the emperor didn't agree and continued to act so naughty, then things would continue as they were. You say what you want, but he won't change.
Although she enjoyed the emperor's favor and her future status as a concubine was basically certain, she was a little afraid of Fan Xiaohui, who asked her what punishment she had received and whether it hurt.
Zhu Youxiao rested for a while before getting up to change clothes with the help of Li Chengcheng. He inevitably stretched out his hands again, making the future Li Chengfei blush and her heart beat fast.
After changing clothes and washing up, Zhu Youxiao walked out seriously, with a sanctimonious look on his face and the majesty of an emperor, looking like a beast in human clothing.
Li Chengcheng's acting skills were much worse. He was already feeling guilty, and when he saw Fan Xiaohui's puzzled look again, he lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Zhu Youxiao also wanted Li Chengcheng to have a rest, so he gave an oral order, and asked Fan Xiaohui to accompany him to the Academy of Sciences, while Li Chengcheng stayed behind to take care of the cat.
The kittens had grown into young boys, full of energy, playing non-stop inside and outside the palace. But they no longer needed any care, so Li Chengcheng was allowed to stay so that she could rest.
I haven't been to the Academy of Sciences for a long time. Although Zhu Youxiao has been guiding me through letters, the effect is still a little bit worse.
Soap and cement are now the main subjects of the Academy of Sciences. These inventions require considerable chemical knowledge and repeated experiments.
By answering these questions, Zhu Youxiao had already estimated that it wouldn't be long before both inventions were successfully marketed. The next step was mass production, another lucrative industry.
The fastest-growing material is cement, which will harden the road surface, increase transportation speed, and promote industrial and commercial development. Of course, there are also three main materials: reinforced concrete.
The simplest and easiest cement to make is naturally Portland cement, which was originally made by calcining limestone and clay. Of course, the adhesive produced in this way is not called cement.
It was not until someone learned from the Romans to add volcanic ash to lime to increase the binding power of lime, and grind pottery and bricks into fine powder, or use coal slag and slag to replace the hard-to-get volcanic ash, that the name "cement" came into being.
In fact, the manufacture of cement does not surpass the current technological level of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao had already proposed the method and the raw materials to be used. As long as he conducted repeated experiments and found the ratio between various raw materials such as lime, clay, slag, and the method of producing this mixture, he would be successful.
As for performance, it certainly cannot reach the standards of later generations, but the cost is not high and it can be widely used to improve the architectural level of the entire Ming Dynasty.
How could one afford to use glutinous rice juice as one of the raw materials to make glue? In a few years, even food would be difficult to come by, so Zhu Youxiao did not dare to waste it.
But large-scale infrastructure construction is certain, especially road construction and road hardening. Using traditional cement or rammed earth to build roads obviously does not meet Zhu Youxiao's standards.
Soap, even perfumed soap, was exported to earn foreign exchange. Foreigners liked new things, and they also had plenty of silver from colonial plunder. It was only natural to take money out of their pockets and use it for the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao secretly left the palace in a modified "safety car" with an iron plate on the outside and a more comfortable interior.
Zhu Youxiao was very careful about his life. The revolution had not yet succeeded, and his only goal was to live long enough to avoid being harmed.
