The essence of the banknote is actually a piece of paper, which is hard to use when used to wipe the butt. However, Tianhao ensured the credit of the dragon coins with his strong personal charm and control over the empire. Both merchants and the public went to the bank as required and exchanged the metal currency in his hands.

To this end, Tianhao has formed a complete set of financial supervision institutions with a rigorous structure.

This is a young and vibrant empire. He does not want the dirty, corrupt and dark problems of the civilization era to repeat in this era. Of course, it is impossible to completely ban it. Even the most vibrant government will have dark corners and schizophrenia. But at present, the overall administration of the Dragon Empire is still clear and there is no delay in the implementation of policies and plans, just like the rising sun that has just emerged from the horizon, which makes people happy and releases brighter and brighter light.

The research and development of large-scale steam engines has always been an important project of concern for the Navy.

Zhengjiang is the kind of guy with violence and war factors flowing in his blood vessels. As the first chief of the Navy Department, he has reached an extremely fanatical level of militarization of new technologies. The train boiler has been installed on board and conducted many experiments. The two steam cargo ships produced were run back and forth between Jeju Island and Panshi City, and have modified the various problems found during the trial voyage. The research project conducted by the Imperial Academy of Sciences was marine steel plates, which has obtained technical support from "Old Madam" and made major breakthroughs in the preparation of materials.

Looking at the 1,000-ton forging press that had been assembled, officials including Wu Qie, the Imperial Minister of the Interior, opened their mouths and exclaimed unprecedented surprises in their own different ways.

This is a landmark milestone for the Empire from its discovery to its use of electricity, and it also means that the Empire has since had the ability to prepare special steel in large quantities. The concept of "iron ships will sink directly to the bottom of the sea" has always occupied the brain firmly until the emergence of the steam freighter that completely changed this old concept. The same is true for forging machines. Looking at this machine that released powerful power, Wu Qi felt that his logical thinking was collapsing, especially the part about the gods, which was shattered as the metal hit the head and fell again and again.

He couldn't help but remember the words that the young emperor often said: "Technology changes life."

Wu You knew that the Navy was conducting improved research and experiments on 220 mm naval guns. Large-caliber artillery has always been the favorite of the Imperial military affairs department, but in previous wars, the most commonly used guns in the army were 105 mm, and naval naval guns were mostly of the same caliber. This was largely caused by the self-weight and power of the artillery. Lightweight artillery is easy to transport, and the artillery of this caliber was already quite terrifying to the whites in the south.

The replacement between pointed cone shells and round shells means that the war has entered a new era. Taking the experimental 220-nav gun of the Imperial Navy as an example, more technical difficulties lie in the research and development of gun barrel materials and the rate of fire. Half a year ago, Tianhao guided the Imperial Academy of Sciences to "invent" picric acid with heuristic education. Since then, the shells produced by the Empire have become more powerful, but there has not been much significant progress in the rate of fire.

It is a trend to replace sailing warships. Although the Navy currently only has two steam freighters, whether it is technological research and development or various related concepts, it has left the white people in the south far behind.

Wu Rong stood beside her, looking at the thousand-ton forging press that had already started to operate, her face was full of shock, and she muttered to herself: "Oh my God, this... this is simply a power that only gods have."

Wu Qi has always been optimistic about the imperial secretary he recommended to Tianhao. He stretched his eyebrows and smiled, recalling the memories scenes he had in Panshi Village, and now his heart was filled with emotion: "No, this is not a miracle, this is the joint efforts of all of us."

Wu Rong turned around and said seriously: "Without His Majesty's guidance, we would never have succeeded, and we would never have been able to achieve this level today."

"There is no way there can be an empire." Wu Qi smiled and nodded in agreement.

Wu Rong's face was full of fanaticism: "Long live the emperor!"

Her words were like signals, instantly igniting the enthusiasm and excitement in the hearts of others. Wu Qi, including him, added emotional catharsis with the same syllables.

"Long live the emperor!"

...

Roaring City, Royal Palace.

The luxurious striped long table is filled with fruit.

Bananas come from Jeju Island and Jinju Island, and are available in three types: light green, white and yellow. The first two are not yet mature, with a stiff and astringent taste. The latter one is already ripe and can be eaten as long as you peel it off. The reason why they are displayed on the table at the same time is that it is more flaunting than eating.

The golden pineapple comes from Jinzhou. It is very large and is equivalent to a large pure water bucket from the civilization era. This mutated fruit with distant blood retains its greatest advantages, has a strong aroma, and has a lot of sugar when ripened, which is very sweet.

The respectable sailors who searched on the sea also brought back tropical fruits such as mango, lychees, dragon fruit, durian, rambutan. They were scattered on islands and are now collected. Some of them were given to the plant department of the Royal Academy of Sciences for research and valuable promotion; some were sent to the palace after identification and confirmation that they were not poisonous, becoming symbolic wealth.

This is a side hall, not the main hall used by the ministers. Ayi sat in the main seat and stared at Xida, who was sitting on the side with complicated eyes.

She is the princess sent from the Kingdom of God.

Marriage is the most common way to connect the relationship between the two countries. However, Tianhao is busy with war and is currently far away in London, the capital of Saxon, and the Lord's Kingdom has no choice but to send people here first and wait patiently.

Exotic clothing looks very attractive, and the female body covered by the tulle has a hazy beauty. However, whether it is exquisitely crafted jewelry, luxurious clothing, or spices that exudes a strong smell on Xida, it seems meaningless to Ayi.

She is not pretty and will not be too attractive to men.

As the queen, Ayi knew very well how much influence her words and actions had on others. Therefore, she was as unbiased as many problems and daily affairs as possible. When she encountered someone she didn't understand, she asked Tianhao... After a long time, the ordinary farm girl at that time also became a noble lady, calm and rational, and flexible. Moreover, Ayi liked to shoot, and whether she was pistol or rifle, she had reached the level of a first-class shooter.

Looking at Xida according to the standards of the indigenous people of the Dragon Empire undoubtedly seems to be unrespected and absurd.

But even according to Tianhao's personal aesthetic view, Ayi still felt that this princess of the Lord's Kingdom had an ordinary appearance, and could even be said to be ugly.

Her skin is rough, with many tiny particles, and there is even a very shallow dent on her right cheek. It can be seen that this is a scar left by her childhood. Although she recovered well, she could not completely eliminate it.

From the perspective of the white people in the south, Sida, who is nearly two meters tall, is indeed a giant. But in Roaring City, she is a short man that everyone must look down at.

The idea of ​​Rahman, the king of the Kingdom of God, cannot be said to be wrong. A woman who meets the height of a giant is selected as a princess nationwide. Only in this way can she be favored by the young giant emperor... But he never expected that Tianhao's aesthetic view came from the era of civilization, otherwise he would not have chosen Ayi as the queen.

The mentality of wanting to form an alliance is so urgent. According to the will of King Rahman, Xida received nearly three months of etiquette education in the Palace of Maverberg. She is the daughter of a commoner. Because she is too tall, she is regarded as a monster by the locals. She never thought that one day she would enjoy such glory and wealth... Xida knew that she would become the concubine of the giant emperor. She studied very hard and also hoped that the man she had never met would love herself and live a good life in sweet love.

Nothing was wrong with this, but King Rahman was a little anxious. After reading the report from the harem, he believed that the etiquette training could be over. He immediately appointed a royal noble as the head of the envoy and took Xida and his generous dowry to Roaring City, hoping to consolidate the alliance between the two countries in a fait accompli.

Ayi wrote all this into a secret letter and sent it to Tianhao, who was far away in London, using a white-headed eagle communication.

The reply was quick: "You are in charge of all the affairs in the rear and you are fully responsible."

This is the absolute trust of the husband in his wife.

Ayi was a little ridiculous and she felt that Tianhao was handing over a heavy burden to her.

Looking at Xida who was cutting mango peels with a knife, Ayi thought for a moment and opened her mouth, "I heard that you have a dispute with someone else outside today?"

It has been a while since she arrived in Roaring City. Xida and Ayi are familiar with each other. They are no longer as cautious as before, and they are more casual in their words and actions. She stopped her hand and raised her head and smiled: "That is a non-eyed pariah. He hit my car and I asked someone to whip him."

Things are simple and not complicated.

Ayi frowned: "Why did you hit that person?"

Xida was surprised by this: "I am the princess, he is just a pariah. I sent someone to check that he is not a nobleman, nor has much property, he is a real pariah."

The concept of "untouchables" comes from the royal etiquette training received in Mavericks. The female discipline officer repeatedly warned Xida at that time: You are no longer a lowly civilian, you are a relative of His Majesty the King, a subordinate of the royal family, and a noble princess.

Xida knew very well that she was not a princess. Before that, she was just an ordinary person who was idle and couldn't even eat enough. Men liked beautiful girls, but Xida didn't have advantages in appearance or figure, and her super tall figure also made her look thick and burly and strong... Women in the Lord's Kingdom are good at singing and dancing, especially the "belly dance" that shows the curves of the body with exaggerated and large twists and trembling, which is to some extent a unique artistic expression of women in the country. Xida has no talent in this regard, and no dance teacher is willing to waste time on this seemingly rude girl.

My father thought she was a burden because as long as a man with a normal mind would not like Xida at all, it means that this poor family could not get a dowry and let Xida's two younger brothers get rich to get married.

My mother was a foolish and unsightly village woman. She could do nothing except crying and praying devoutly to the illusory gods and praying devoutly. Xida often saw her drunk father beat her mother. She never escaped, but just knelt on the ground and let her father grab her head and use her fist, and beat her face to the blood.

The gods believed in by the Kingdom of God are different from other countries. The biggest difference between the "Lord" and the "Lord" lies in men and women. The Gospel of the Lord" mentions that women are transformed by a man's rib, so women's status is always lower than men. The Gospel of the Lord also has similar parts, even more extreme than the Gospel of the Lord: women are slaves of men. If a husband thinks that his wife must die, he only has one word and his wife must obey and commit suicide in the way designated by the husband.

Xida has no status at home, and her father and two younger brothers regard her as a free labor force. As I can remember, Xida has undertaken most of the labor in the field. What's even more terrifying is that her second brother actually has a special interest in her and often wants to infringe on it. If Xida hadn't been tall and engaged in farm work for many years, and when fighting, the second brother was no match for her, I'm afraid her ending would be worse than she thought.

No one expected that Xida would become a princess!

When the king's envoy came to the village, he publicly declared that civil strife occurred in the capital that year. In order to ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline, the Queen Mother ordered the personal palace maid to escape from the secret passage with the little prince in the cradle. Later, the situation was settled, but the palace maid could no longer be found, and the matter could be abandoned. More than a hundred years have passed, and the royal family has been looking for the palace maid who disappeared that year. After many comparisons and confirmations, they finally found Xida.

This is a big pie that fell from the sky!

It is said that bloodline inheritance is on the mother's side. She obtained the identity and title of a noble lady, and also received two thousand dinars (the currency of the Kingdom of God, which is almost the same as the gold pound).

Both their father and two younger brothers were named knights, although they could not ride horses, use swords, and had no chance to get into weapons such as muskets.

In McVeiburg, the tutor Madam trained Hida harshly.

King Rahman really wanted to have a good relationship with the Dragon Empire. This is the purpose of racking his brains to find "giant beauties" from the people. Height is placed first, appearance is second, and family education is third... Under such a sequence of requirements, it becomes natural that Xida was selected.

It is very difficult to train a farm girl with big hands and feet to become a princess.

If time is sufficient, the female discipline officer will feel that it is barely possible. But time does not wait for anyone, and King Rahman has only three months of patience.

More importantly, the southward army of the Dragon Empire had swept over half of the Saxons and even occupied the capital London. At this progress, it would not take long for them to annex the entire kingdom.
