Suddenly, twenty big men from the house came to the house. They stood in every corner without saying a word, and stood quietly, looking around from time to time. Then they listened to the sound of horses slapping at the door from time to time. This scene made Carpenter Xu and his family a little nervous and were a little at a loss when they stood there. Of course, Carpenter Xu himself was not included.

When Carpenter Xu and two Jinyiwei plainclothes were changing their clothes, Jinyiwei plainclothes who were sent out to buy food had already returned. He ordered dishes from nearby restaurants and even hot ginger tea.

Carpenter Xu's wife and children went to the inner room to eat, but only Carpenter Xu stayed outside. Looking at sitting on a stool in his house, Carpenter Xu bowed deeply and said with gratitude: "I don't know what furniture you need to build. As long as it is made of wood, I will do my best to do my best to be better than others!"

When Emperor Chongzhen and Concubine Tian couldn't help but smile at each other, and then turned around. Emperor Chongzhen said to Carpenter Xu: "The family is like this, why are you still so obsessed with speed cars?"

To be honest, after seeing the situation at his family, Concubine Tian looked at his wife and children’s food and clothing, and felt a little contempt for the man. But she did not show it in front of the emperor. At this time, she heard the emperor ask this, and she couldn’t help but pay attention and stared at Carpenter Xu to see how he answered?

When Carpenter Xu heard this, he was a little stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that this noble man would say this. Or when he heard this question, the sound of food inside suddenly disappeared.

After a while, Carpenter Xu came to his senses and replied with a serious expression: "I just want to do something meaningful!"

Do something meaningful? When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately remembered the protagonist of a classic TV series in later generations. He spent several years paving a road outside the barracks. Others couldn't figure it out, so he asked him the answer he got was just to do something meaningful.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but become even more interested and asked again: "What do you mean?"

After hearing this, Carpenter Xu seemed to be trapped in memories and said slowly: "It's not me, Xu Zhengming, that when it comes to carpenters' work, I must be among the best in Suzhou. At the beginning, with my skills, I could not worry about food and clothing."

Speaking of this, he stopped and said, "But every time I am invited by those powerful families and powerful gentry to make things, I want to satisfy their desire to compete with each other. For example, wood can be purchased from distant places such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Xichuan, etc., and then I asked me to make exquisite things for them, and asked the painter to use the best materials and mix the best colors in the mix. Anyway, I was extremely useless, but in the end I invited others to watch and show off. If I suppress others, I would be content, and if I was not as angry as others, I would be so angry that I would smash them as firewood."

Everyone listened to him and focused their eyes on him. Many people vaguely heard something, and their eyes were softer.

"I feel bored after seeing such things for too many times." Seeing Emperor Chongzhen listening carefully, Xu said with emotion, "In fact, it's not just furniture, but food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., there are similarities. If you don't wear clothes once, you must do more food. You would rather waste it than make your family rich. Anyway, for that face, you will probably be almost as good as the emperor..."

Hearing this, almost everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Emperor Chongzhen.

When Carpenter Xu saw it, he was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. He just continued to say what had been in his heart for a long time: "I think it's not interesting about such things, it's really boring. So I thought about doing something meaningful. At the beginning, I thought a lot, but finally I thought about whether I could make a speed trip and make it more convenient for everyone to travel..."

Speaking of this, he remembered something and got up and went to the cabinet in a corner to get things. Fang Zhenghua and others immediately looked at it with caution. However, when he saw that what Carpenter Xu finally took out was just some paper, he relaxed without a trace.

"Look, these are what I have been fiddling with, thinking about making one or two truly useful things." Carpenter Xu said, putting the paper in his hand on the table.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little curious and reached out and took it out one by one. I have to say that Carpenter Xu is really thoughtful. These are all design drawings, and there are many, and it seems that they have spent a lot of thought.

After the emperor finished watching, Concubine Tian reached out to take a look, and then turned to look at Carpenter Xu, the contempt in her heart could not help but be much less.

Emperor Chongzhen himself, after reading the drawings, couldn't help but feel silent. He recalled what he saw on the road and listened to what Carpenter Xu had just said, and he had a deeper understanding of the atmosphere in Jiangnan.

When he came to his senses, Emperor Chongzhen asked slightly serious: "Then do you still have to continue to improve the speed?"

"Yeah!" After hearing this, Carpenter Xu nodded, "I, Xu Zhengming, never gave up halfway. Today, the one I broke, I will look back and improve the way."

After he finished speaking, a slight sigh suddenly came from the inner room, but no one outside could hear it.

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and looked at the inner room, then suddenly said to Carpenter Xu: "Your speed car will definitely not be successful, and you don't have to improve it anymore."

"Impossible!" After hearing this, Carpenter Xu immediately said excitedly, "I have been improving for more than ten years, and you should have seen it. Today, I can fly for a distance."

Indeed, at least this is something that everyone saw with their own eyes. Liu Xingzuo and others agreed with Carpenter Xu in their hearts. Maybe he will succeed next time?

They all looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and saw Emperor Chongzhen smiling and shook his head and said, "I can tell you that people can definitely fly in the sky with tools, but it is definitely not your idea. First, the power generated by manpower is too small to support heavy objects to fly, let alone popularize it; second, the materials of your speed are not good, it must be lighter, stronger, etc., but even so, as long as the power problem is not solved, it is impossible..."

When Carpenter Xu heard Emperor Chongzhen speak, he hit the two biggest flaws of the speedster, which surprised him a little. For the first time, he began to seriously consider other people's views on the speedster.

"But your concept of flying cars can still be realized in the future, that is, after the two problems I just mentioned were solved." Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile, "At present, if you want to let someone fly into the sky, I have several solutions for you to experiment, and I can also provide funds so that you can do this without worries. What do you think?"
