Chapter 137 Pride

Shuntian Prefecture, Tianjin Beiyang, Dagukou Customs.

The green tiles and eaves of Guanfang were built on the second floor. Chen Mu relied on the green pillars of the Lion Tower and looked at the two tall temple towers on both sides of Guanfang.

He said he was here to invite Shaun to drink, but it seemed that Chen Mu did not have much desire to drink with Shaun. He kept standing beside the green pillar next to the railing with a wine pot and drinking turbid rice wine in small mouthfuls.

Amid the sound of the pipa playing by the actor, he was watching the fleets that covered the ocean one after another in the distance.

That was his fleet and the Ming Dynasty's fleet. The name of this fleet was Dadongyang.

The baggage fleet has set sail one after another, scattered between Jinzhou Guards and 4,000-mile houses. The long route was divided into several sections by his staff, and alternate supplies were transported in a more efficient manner.

The remaining small number of blessed ships are the baggage ships that truly sail with the fleet when it sets off.

The ships and horses all docked at the shore, and extended ship lines were stopped on both sides of the Dagukou Pass. The ships painted the bow of the ship with red paint and lime. Two fish-eye-like black spots were also pointed on both sides of the bow. Although a large part was obtained by collecting civilian ships, ships of similar sizes were very neat.

The warships on the sea are in another shape. There are flat heads and pointed heads above the bow waterline, and the waterline is streamlined. Among them, the double-deck gunboats are pointed heads, and most of the three-deck gunboats above thousands of materials are used for their slutty fleet commanders.

The development of affairs is mutual. It seems that in order to take care of these people's preferences, various shipyards are generally larger in the hull and the butt of the ship, so that the hull will still reach a balance after decoration.

Especially this time, Chen Mu was surprised by the transfer of ships from South China. Shao Tingda set off a trend of hull nails in the South China Sea, which made some of the ships in South China Sea have become semi-iron armored ships, and the ships are mixed with Chinese and Western sails like the old gate ships that spontaneously made Portuguese hull Chinese sails in the early years.

The lanterns guiding the front and back fleets were hung from the sea from front to back, and the lacquer of the ship was painted in white and black, and they looked majestic. At this time, the emperor was preparing for the fleet as a unit to set sail.

Fortunately, Sean didn't dare to let him accompany him, and of course he didn't need to let him accompany him. As the only foreigner who was authorized by the emperor to live in Beiyang in Shuntian Prefecture, no, he is no longer a foreigner at this moment.

The emperor had just enthroned him with an edict a few days ago, named King Ailan, and added the character Zhu to his surname, name Sean O'Neill, and the Chinese name Zhu Xiaoen. Now he enjoys the treatment of a prince and lives temporarily in Beiyang.

Not to mention the treatment of the prince, even if the treatment of the prince is, Mr. Chen should be an uncle or an uncle.

"That's amazing!"

Zhu Xiaoen held an exquisite porcelain backflow pot in one hand and poured the rice wine pot into the bottom of the backflow pot in the other hand, making a surprise in his mouth.

This is the product of the Beiyang pottery factory after absorbing the porcelain craftsmen in Bozhou, Shandong. It is an imitation of the Yaozhou kiln backflow pot in the Song Dynasty. The pot cannot be opened without a lid. The poured opening is at the bottom of the pot, and it goes straight to the top of the pot through the porcelain tube in the pot. There is also a layer of partition pipe extending to the bottom of the pot.

Through two layers of pipes, the water in the pot will not leak out from the spout. After the bottom of the pot is filled, the pot will not be placed straight, and there will be no water spilled out.

The principle is very scientific and the workmanship is more exquisite. The lion lies on the spout of the pot, the peony flowers are raised on the body of the pot, and the phoenix spreads its wings on the top of the pot. The three kings in the world mean majestic, wealth and auspiciousness.

Beiyang Ceramics Factory divided this batch of porcelain pots into three colors, white porcelain, celadon and red porcelain.

There are five fair cups to accompany you. The wine in the cup must not be filled. If it is filled, all the wine will leak out.

This wine glass was first produced in Jingdezhen during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Mu did not order any improvements to the craftsmen for the two types of utensils, just make them.

But some things don't need to be ordered by him. For example, when he said he wanted to eat acne for himself, not only the folk doctors who gathered on Kuwu Island in the past and now temporarily live in the Beiyang Medical Academy, but also the doctors at the Palace Imperial Hospital were at a loss.

People are rushing to find safer methods. This attitude makes Chen Mu very dissatisfied with him. If he said that the real purpose is to surplus the Beiyang flag soldiers, wouldn’t anyone care?

Now the Beiyang Medical Academy is trying to find a way from cows infected with smallpox. Of course, Chen Mu's idea was created by him, but no one can be sure whether cowpox can be used directly, and whether it will be really immune to smallpox after use.

Chen Mu didn't understand the principle, and he couldn't be sure whether it was 100%, so he could only try it. The time was tight and he couldn't miss the departure date, let alone the imperial military parade.

However, as of now, vaccinated pox is indeed safer. At least people feel slightly uncomfortable after being infected with smallpox cattle and have no life worries.

At least this means that if smallpox can be really prevented, even if vaccination fails in the future, it will not die, which is much smaller than the cost of vaccination.

As long as the third phase of the Beiyang flag army is vaccinated, more than 10,000 vaccinations are enough to allow doctors to gain enough experience, and then the court will fully promote it. Perhaps the smallpox virus will disappear in China in decades.

Zhu Xiaoen's emotion interrupted Chen Mu's thoughts. This guy is simply a child. He feels so cool when he sees everything. He saw a straw raincoat and hat a few days ago. He still wears it all day until the rain stops for half a month.

Even Chen Mu later felt that the striking look of the straw raincoat and straw hat was too cool.

Zhu Xiaoen felt that the most awesome place in China was not a whole booming army like guns or Beiyang, but everything they saw on weekdays.

Through the mouth of a foreigner, Chen Mu felt that the land was full of divinity.

"The lantern on the boat, a candle inserted in the middle of a layer of oil paper, will not burn out. And how is oil paper made?"

"There are also drains on the street, carved into the shape of a beast's head. When it rains, water will spew out of the beast's mouth... We will make children's dicks over there."

Prince Zhu Xiaoen shook his lips. It sounded uncomfortable to have a big and thick man with a big and thick beard doing this. He said, "Although it's also very interesting, but..."

"The court is good everywhere, but you, some of you are so proud. When the eunuchs sent the edict to enthrone me, I put on a very beautiful silk python robe. I heard someone say that the monkey was crowned with a crown, this is the saying, "The monkey was crowned with a crown."

Chen Mu walked towards the table, raised the backflow pot and poured no more and no more wine into Zhu Xiaoen's fair cup, and comforted him: "People in this country are very proud, and you will also become proud when you are in this. For hundreds of years, from the people to the officials, all of us have no curiosity about the surroundings."

"Some people say that pride comes from ignorance, but I think pride comes from happiness. Although they don't feel happy, I think it's very happy. They are all so ignorant, and no one can bully them. This kind of confused look is precisely the embodiment of happiness."

"A hundred years ago, Sanbao Gong repaired weapons and built giant ships, and the treasure fleet was scattered all over the world. Who can fight with them?"

"Previous people plant trees, and later generations enjoy the shade. This generation worked hard to expel the southern Japanese and northern Japanese so that the next generation could be carefree. As long as you respect the court, your people will also have this kind of pride within ten years."

Zhu Xiaoen spread his hands without comment, hid the wine that Chen Mu poured him, and clapped his hands, "He said he respects the court. After the fleet sets, can the court send some artists to Ailan Kingdom?"
