After Zhu Yunwen finished making the steam car, he couldn't wait to drive it to Zhu Yuanzhang's study. On the way, he ran into Zhao Qingzhu, who was chatting with the concubines in the harem and strolling in the garden.
Zhao Qingzhu hadn't noticed yet when she heard a concubine from the harem say:
"What is that? How can a metal box move by itself?"
Everyone then looked over, and Zhao Qingzhu immediately said:
"This thing is amazing! What is it?"
Another concubine from the harem spoke up:
"It seems like the Crown Prince is inside..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu immediately took a closer look and indeed Zhu Yunwen was sitting there.
So she quickly walked over, and Zhu Yunwen saw Zhao Qingzhu, immediately released the valve and stepped on the brake.
Each of the four wheels has a brake pad, and the car slowly came to a stop.
Afterwards, Zhu Yunwen got out of the carriage and said to Zhao Qingzhu with a smile:
"Haven't you been wondering what I've been doing these past few days? Look, this is the result of my busy work."
Zhao Qingzhu immediately stepped forward, examined the car from all angles, and then exclaimed in shock:
"You made this? What is this thing? It looks like a car? How did it go from three wheels to four wheels?"
Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily. This description was indeed very apt; it went from three wheels to four wheels.
Zhu Yunwen then replied:
“That’s right, this is a small car. It’s more stable. People can sit inside without having to push or pull it.”
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen had Zhao Qingzhu sit in the passenger seat, and then had several other concubines from the harem sit in the same seat as him.
These concubines were all from Zhu Yuanzhang's harem. Logically speaking, Zhu Yunwen should have addressed them.
Several concubines and Zhao Qingzhu sat down.
Zhu Yunwen then started the car, and then stepped on the valve to make it move.
The people in the vehicle were stunned; they never imagined that such a vehicle could be made.
Moreover, its speed was surprisingly fast, and it quickly headed towards the Imperial Study.
At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was reading memorials in the imperial study.
Then Jiang Huan suddenly rushed in and said:
"Your Majesty, please come out and see! This is something extraordinary!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Huan, then frowned:
"What's the big deal? Can't you be a little more composed? You've been by my side for so long, yet you're still so impetuous."
Jiang Huan immediately added:
"No, Your Majesty, please go outside and take a look. There's something there, an iron box, that can move..."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that since he had his grandson, there was nothing he hadn't seen.
What kind of strange or unusual iron box could it be?
So Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, and as he followed Jiang Huan out, he said:
"You too, you've seen a lot of things by working alongside us. Can you please stop making such a fuss? What kind of behavior is this? After all, you're working for us, you need to be more composed."
Jiang Huan defended himself by saying:
"No, Your Majesty, that thing is really powerful..."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said:
"Even if it's incredibly powerful, how powerful can it be? Is it really worth being so shocked?"
As he spoke, he walked out of the imperial study and saw the car driving towards him.
He immediately widened his eyes and said:
"Oh my god, what is this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang taught Jiang Huai a lesson through his actions, showing him what it meant to be humiliated.
Jiang Huan couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yuanzhang, thinking to himself, "What did he just say to me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, however, disregarded all of this and said to Jiang Huan:
"What is that thing? It can actually run on its own? That's amazing! Jiang Huan, you need to report things like this right away in the future..."
Jiang Huan couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "That's not what you said before."
Of course, he still didn't dare to say it aloud.
At this moment, the carriage stopped, and Zhu Yunwen, Zhao Qingzhu, and several other concubines got out of the carriage.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stepped forward:
"Yun Tong, what is this?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled broadly and immediately began to introduce himself to Zhu Yuanzhang, who, after listening, repeatedly praised him:
"Wow, this is amazing! You're incredible, Yun-huo. You can make all these things so easily."
"If the bicycles and tricycles you made before were still within my understanding, then this thing truly exceeds my imagination."
Zhu Yunwen thought to himself that explaining this to them was indeed quite complicated.
So he said:
"Grandfather, if the Ming Dynasty has such a convenient means of transportation, it will be a very good thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty and for our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly and said:
"That's for sure. The road has already made it much easier for the people of the Ming Dynasty to travel since it was repaired."
Later, bicycles and tricycles appeared, allowing the people of the Ming Dynasty to travel from the east to the north in just a few days.
Now that we have this, we should be able to walk from the north to the south in a day or two, right?
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:
"If we can guarantee that it will always be open, it's not impossible. In the future, it will be much more convenient for my grandfather and me to travel to various parts of the Ming Dynasty and tour the country."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly and said:
