Chapter 67 I thought I was going to be killed
After practicing horse riding for a few days, Zhu Zaijing gradually became familiar with the feeling and strength of riding a horse, and the skin and muscles between his legs gradually adapted to the effects of riding a horse. friction and force.
Now as long as he is not riding a fast horse and can run at a normal horse speed, Zhu Zaijing feels that he can do it.
But even so, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but lament the difficulty of riding a horse.
Although horse riding was known as a noble sport in later generations, even Zhu Zaijing, who has now become a noble among the nobles, does not think horse riding is something to be proud of.
It's nothing more than some people insisting on developing some sports and hobbies that are different from ordinary people and flaunting their nobility.
So after learning to ride a horse, Zhu Zaijing, apart from familiarizing himself with the feeling of riding a horse on a daily basis, did not have much enthusiasm for riding a horse.
After all, Zhu Zaijing has experienced civil aviation passenger planes traveling at 1,000 kilometers per hour, high-speed trains traveling at 350 kilometers per hour, and even speeding through high-speed roads at 180 kilometers per hour. A car, so even if you let go and let the horse run wildly, how fast can it run?
And there is no seat belt or airbag. If there is an accident, wouldn't the horse stumble and kill the person directly?
So, for Zhu Zaijing, riding a horse was just a life skill in the Ming Dynasty.
If possible, Zhu Zaijing still hopes to build a safer train or car to drive.
But the steam engine seemed to be more difficult than Zhu Zaijing imagined.
Although he directed the craftsmen to make a steam fan that could be driven by steam last time, the speed was so impressive that it was like a toy and had no effect at all.
If you want to further improve steam power, you have to redesign the structure to make the power of steam more concentrated, but the test is too difficult.
So now Zhu Zaijing cannot expect to use steam-driven fans in a short time. He can only continue to supply those old craftsmen with in-depth research as if they were idle. See if further breakthroughs are possible.
But Zhu Zaijing also knows that progress in technology, in addition to accumulation over time, also requires a little bit of inspiration.
And those who can bring this kind of aura are also extraordinary talents.
We expect these old craftsmen to do the preliminary accumulation work at most. At the critical moment, we have to wait for the "chosen person" to push forward this critical final step.
This is like the difference between Einstein and Oppenheimer.
Theoretically, Einstein is invincible, but the actual control operation requires a genius master like Oppenheimer to coordinate the efforts of countless scientists and parties, and finally create the one that can destroy himself. Peerless weapon!
And redefine balance for the world.
"What is the prince thinking?"
Gao Gong, who was teaching Zhu Zaijing, saw Zhu Zaijing who was distracted and reminded him softly.
After Zhu Zaijing heard Gao Gong's reminder, he quickly came to his senses and apologized to Gao Gong: "Please punish me, sir, because the student was distracted."
But how could that happen? Where to punish Zhu Zaijing?
Gao Gong asked: "Why is the prince distracted?"
Zhu Zaijing sighed, "I am thinking about the future."
Hearing Zhu Zaijing say "the future", Gao Gong smiled .
Gao Gong said: "Xin Jiaxuan has a poem: Young people don't know the feeling of sorrow, so they express sorrow in order to compose new poems. Perhaps the prince has reached the age of trouble, and it would be better to think more about other youthful matters." Zhu Zaijing replied: "Thank you sir for your explanation."
Gao Gong looked at Zhu Zaijing, who had returned to his state, and secretly sighed in his heart. Zhu Zaijing was probably the most sensible child he had ever seen.
Generally, young people of Zhu Zaijing's age are either controlled by etiquette and obey the rules, and do not dare to have the slightest thought of transcending. Or you just have your heart as high as the sky, and you won’t be convinced by anyone.
But Zhu Zaijing has neither.
Zhu Zaijing seems to be polite and respectful, but he has his own ideas and does not follow what others say. Sometimes some of his questions and opinions will make Gao Gong feel suddenly enlightened. This feeling is like It was the feeling he had when he first entered the capital and saw a world wider and higher than Xinzheng.
So in Gao Gong's heart, his care and love for Zhu Zaijing was even more different than that of ordinary teachers and disciples.
In his heart, Zhu Zaijing was both his student and his hope, and sometimes he would think in a trance that Zhu Zaijing was also his confidant and his close junior.
These feelings are intertwined, and Gao Gong's feelings for Zhu Zaijing naturally become more profound and selfless. He can even dedicate everything to Zhu Zaijing, even his own life, as long as Zhu Zaijing needs it!
Gao Gong said: "Your Majesty, please take advantage of your free time at this moment to tell you a little story."
When Zhu Zaijing heard Gao Gong's words, he immediately sat upright. "Sir, please speak."
Gao Gong paused and organized his words.
"A few years ago, a murder case occurred in a county in Hubei Province where children fought each other. One child was killed by another child. The county magistrate ordered the murderer to be taken to a cell. However, the child was not afraid at all, thinking that he would not be killed if he was young. Until death."
"At meal time, the county magistrate sent someone to bring the food and placed it in front of the child. After the child took the bowl, he straightened his chopsticks. When the county magistrate saw this, he immediately rebuked: "The truth is clear, I must be executed!" Therefore, he was sentenced to be executed and reported to the Ministry of Punishment, and he was presented to the imperial court for execution. Should he be beheaded?”
After Zhu Zaijing listened to Gao Gong’s question, he couldn’t help but think deeply. In the era before Zhu Zaijing traveled through time, children’s crimes were generally treated lightly. Let them go with ease, and some even extremely vicious crimes will be exempted from punishment and prosecution due to the protection of minors.
So after hearing Gao Gong talk about this issue, Zhu Zaijing's thoughts at the moment were naturally more complicated than those of the ancients.
Gao Gong originally thought that after telling this story, Zhu Zaijing would blurt out his answer.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zaijing started to think. This was beyond Gao Gong's expectation.
Obviously in Gao Gong's heart at this moment, Zhu Zaijing is calmer than ordinary geniuses. This is so shocking.
Zhu Zaijing raised his head and looked at Gao Gong, and then said calmly: "I thought he should be beheaded!"
At this moment, Zhu Zaijing did not call himself a student, but used "I am the king" to express my meaning.
Gao Gong seemed to be relieved after hearing this answer, but he didn't seem particularly satisfied.
Just when Gao Gong was about to continue using this story to reason with Zhu Zaijing, Zhu Zaijing began to speak again.
