Everyone who heard the young princess's words felt a pang of sadness.
They already knew that the young princess treated them like family.
They are always on our minds, but there's always one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch.
People think of you in everything, but in the end they blame others. Anyone would be heartbroken in that situation!
After Su Muyao left, Aunt Shi was taken away and severely beaten with 20 strokes of the cane.
Although Aunt Shi's son was also beaten 20 times, each stroke was delivered with all his might.
Before the 20 strokes were even finished, the man passed out. Even though he was unconscious, the last few strokes were still delivered.
The former village chief of Taoliu Village has now become a manager in the factory.
They took people and directly took back Aunt Shi's house, since the family hadn't actually bought it.
Especially the two sons of this family, each one more dissolute than the last, who spent all the money they earned on a life of debauchery in the capital.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law earned a considerable amount of money each month at the factory, enough to support two men.
But it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. How would this family survive without such a cushy job? But that's no longer their concern.
Aunt Shi limped as she took her son to the clinic, and soon all the money in the house was spent there.
...
Su Muyao has been busy with the bicycle factory lately. Not only has she recruited a large number of people, but more importantly, all those who fled here because of the war have found a place to eat and be fed.
They even worked overtime to produce a considerable number of bicycles.
The bicycles became an instant hit throughout the capital.
Inside the largest shop in Beijing
"This bicycle is a means of transportation that is pedaled. After you buy it, we have a special area for teaching how to ride a bicycle."
"Hey, hey, buddy, I know you don't need to say so much. Just tell me how much this costs?" The one who spoke was the butler from the Xu family.
I'm not short of money, and I finally got to the front of the line after a long wait, and this guy kept going on and on about how he was doing his job.
Lord Xu and the ministers of the court were already waiting at the test drive area.
Everyone was complaining that their butlers were taking so long to get in line.
Those who bought it first have already learned how to ride it.
Longyuan learned it in no time.
The next morning, he rode his bicycle from the East Palace to the main hall.
All the civil and military officials watched as their Crown Prince pushed his bicycle to the entrance of the main hall.
Su Muyao rode her little pink electric scooter to a spot not far from the main hall.
The civil and military officials already knew about the little electric scooter Su Muyao was riding, but what they were curious about was the novelty that His Highness the Crown Prince needed to pedal.
Moreover, its bright and gorgeous appearance and unique design instantly captured the hearts of a group of civil and military officials.
Several of the adults had already received advance notice and made the purchases, so they remained unmoved.
The others had a sparkling light in their eyes.
The Duke, who was in the lead, had an eager look in his eyes.
Looking at the expressions of the court officials, Su Muyao knew that a big order was coming today.
Next, they arrived at Longyuan's bicycle and carried it directly into the court to begin the introduction.
Everyone listened with great interest, and even the emperor stepped down from his throne to watch from the side.
When Su Muyao had finished her introduction, the emperor finally realized that he was here for the morning court session.
How come this little guy is doing business all the way into the imperial court?
Su Muyao looked at these ministers and they were practically ready to pay up.
Then, glancing at the emperor's dark face, I will not elaborate further.
"Alright, uncles and elders, if you wish to buy, feel free to visit my shop after the morning court session and choose whatever you like."
With so many colors and styles to choose from, I'm sure you'll find one you like.
Then he took out a solar-powered lamp and came to the emperor's side.
"Uncle, Yao'er has brought you some good things today."
The emperor was immediately delighted upon hearing this, knowing that the little fellow would never forget him when he got something good.
Then Su Muyao took out what she was holding and directed several eunuchs to hang it on the palace wall.
A bright white light instantly illuminated the somewhat dimly lit court.
For a moment, everyone squinted their eyes uncomfortably.
The emperor was somewhat disappointed, after all, he had seen this thing before.
There's nothing strange about it at all.
This thing will go out after a short time each time. It's okay to use it at night, but although it's a bit dark in the main hall in the morning, it's not a waste of such a precious thing.
"Uncle, this is different from your previous one. This one is not only long-lasting, but it's also a solar-powered light."
There's a wire and a switch here, and the solar panel is placed directly outside.
It stores electrical energy as long as there's sunshine outside; you can leave it on all day long.
He then explained to the emperor, "Putting the solar panels in the sun will convert them into electricity, allowing the lights to keep shining."
"Uncle Emperor, what do you think about making sure every household in the Great Dynasty can afford electric lights...?"
After listening to Su Muyao's story, the emperor imagined the scene of thousands of lights shining in the dark night of the great dynasty.
The lights of thousands of homes here are far superior to ordinary candlelight; look how bright these solar-powered lights are!
What is electricity?
"Electricity is a form of energy, and sunlight can turn this light on."
It works on the same principle as the tortoise-drawn carts and electric vehicles you mentioned. They don't require human or material power to pull them; they contain electricity, which is the energy that allows them to move on their own.
The emperor finally understood and nodded.
The others only partially understood what they heard.
Some of the old men even thought they had understood.
The electricity they're talking about is collected sunlight during the day and released at night.
Fortunately, these old men didn't voice their true thoughts, otherwise Su Muyao would probably be laughing so hard she'd be rolling on the floor.
The emperor thought to himself, "With so many lights in every household, wouldn't we need to use a lot of solar-powered lights?"
"Shouldn't we set up a factory specifically for what you call, the one that makes solar lights?"
Now, the entire dynasty understands what "factory" means, and basically, any workshops opened afterward are no longer called workshops.
All of them are called "factory" just like the little princess's.
Su Muyao then began promoting the idea directly among the ministers.
There are large solar lights and a wide variety of bathroom lights.
Most importantly, with solar energy, they could now enjoy hot water for bathing, so Su Muyao led the emperor and his ministers to the East Palace.
"This is the bathing room that the Japanese princess made for Longyuan these past few days."
This is called a shower head. This side has hot water, and this side has cold water.
If you feel too hot while showering, just move a little closer to this side.
Su Muyao pointed to these things that they had never seen before and introduced them one by one.
Everyone watched with shining eyes.
Next up is the handwashing basin.
"The same principle applies to this sink. If you buy the whole set, everything I'm about to introduce will be included, and it's definitely great value for money."
