801 Comfortable environment
"How do you know this? That's so sad, isn't it? Are they ......?"
After listening to Yuan Fang's words, I began to feel a little disgusted with this 'shadow' faction. I really didn't expect them to be so cruel in their way of making stand-ins...... It's horrible!
"So, they're bad people, aren't they?"
Hearing me say this, Yuan Fang shook her head and said that these people who were used as stand-ins actually accepted this kind of thing voluntarily......
Anyway, I really don't understand what these people think, and such a cruel thing is actually accepted voluntarily? But this explains why the stand-in of Xiao Lizhi will protect Xiao Lizhi so desperately. It turned out that they had gone through such a cruel practice in order to become stand-ins...... No wonder they cherish this opportunity to be a stand-in so much!
In addition, I also learned that although the purpose of this sect's existence is not clear, it is always maintaining the safety of the royal family of each dynasty. It's strange why they are like this. In addition, I heard that these sects were established before the Jixia Academy, so the existence of this sect is even earlier than those sects that have inherited things......
It is precisely because of these pieces of information that make me more and more confused the more I listen to them, so I think I should stay away from this sect, and the leader of the guards hinted that something related to Li Mi must not be provoked! Gotta find a way to get out of the way completely.
I don't think such a sect would have had any intention of rebelling if it had always been so close to the royal family. And Cheng Yanjin reminded me early in the morning, saying that among Li Mi's subordinates, there are still many people who want to 'make a comeback'. It's better to stay away from them for safety. So I've always tried to avoid reaching out to those people.
"No matter, just stay away from them anyway. Now let's go to Your Majesty! If it's too late, I guess there won't be anything to do in the next city! ”
After bidding farewell to Yuan Fang, I followed her words to the platform of the railway around the city, and found His Majesty the Emperor getting out of the carriage of the train.
It is said that the railroad tracks and steam locomotives that were originally designed to transport coal are now due to the fact that no factories have been built in the city, and there are no official mines outside the city. So this starting point is an open-pit coal mine, ending at Crescent City, and it also goes around the city in Crescent City, so that the railway can be close to the route of the two industrial zones at the same time. It has now been used as a railroad for sightseeing. The original iron wagon car was temporarily replaced with a wooden car temporarily renovated by carpenters, and then pulled by a steam locomotive to make a sightseeing train on the Ring Railway.
It's a bit of a waste of fuel, but because the railway goes directly to the open-pit coal mine, there's no need to worry about fuel at all. And the non-stop operation can also test the running ability of this locomotive, and by the way, a large number of full-time locomotive drivers have been trained! Speaking of train drivers, in fact, the drivers of this kind of steam locomotive need several people to cooperate at the same time. After all, a train powered by a steam boiler not only needs to control the speed of the train through the pressurization and depressurization of various pipes, but also has to be specially monitored by someone to monitor the heat of the coal burned in the boiler. At that time, when I was researching steam locomotives, the researchers at the academy were very influenced by the movies I showed and the models of steam locomotives I came up with, so the internal structure of this thing was basically similar to that of earlier steam locomotives! Even the workers who delivered the coal were completely copied...... So the training of train drivers is done in batches.
But that's fine, train a bunch of drivers first, at least when other railways are built, you can directly use these skilled workers!
Oh yes, this sightseeing project around the city is actually very popular with the people around you. From the day the Crescent City was successfully built, people from all over the world came to join in the excitement and took the train to make a short trip around the city. Even if I ask for a 10-dollar ticket to get on the train, it doesn't stop these people from taking the train...... It's so popular! The primary reason why Crescent City attracted a large number of people to come earlier was this train!
Now that I saw His Majesty the Emperor emerge from the train, I knew that he must have ridden more than one lap.
"Hmmm! I finally found it, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor's face is good, and he should be in a good mood, so I will quickly report my matter, and maybe I can be directly promised! I muttered in my heart, and walked towards His Majesty the Emperor.
As I walked over, I distinctly felt a few strands of eyes staring at me from the shadows, and it was probably after recognizing my appearance that they stopped staring at me with dangerous eyes. I always felt that the people who were staring at me in the shadows would definitely aim at me with a weapon like a bow and crossbow, otherwise I would have a creepy feeling of danger!
Now that I think about it, I seem to have a great sense of malice and danger. When I was on the prairie, I could premonition some dangers in advance, but unfortunately although my mind felt it, my body couldn't keep up with it. So on the grassland, I still suffered countless injuries, and even multiplied the tolerance to pain that I had cultivated. I don't feel any pain in my normal injuries......
Distracted again...... It seems that I am really poisoned, and today I have had this state of wandering and thinking off my mind countless times...... I've got to get things sorted out quickly, and then I'll find a miracle doctor at the academy to take a look!"
I was still in a daze here, and His Majesty's guards took me to the front, and then I found a building on the side of the road, and when I saw that there was no one here to rest, I first cleared the people inside and the soldiers guarding here, leaving only me and His Majesty to talk in the house.
It looks like His Majesty the Emperor has always wanted to see me! It's just that after coming here, he has always been attracted by the new gadgets everywhere in Crescent City, and seeing the two princesses playing here with a 'happy' look, the emperor is even more interested in this Crescent City. And the emperor in front of him has always advocated 'Jun, Zhouye.' People, water too. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! So I was very concerned about the fact that the people were drawn here and refused to leave. The main purpose of bringing me here this time was to ask me about the reasons why this city is so attractive to the people.
But when His Majesty the Emperor came to this ordinary house, he felt the warmth and comfort here. His attention was drawn to the furnishings and facilities.
Of course, the furnishings of this house were not placed by me, but by the people who lived here temporarily. A couple of small benches, a table, and a sleeping bag made by the students of the Academy......
Speaking of sleeping bags, after the students of the academy were brought here by me, a few students with flexible minds bought linen cloth and a mat similar to a straw mat directly from the bazaar, and then picked up the mat with linen cloth and put some straw on it, and then made a burlap mat, and then sewed a blanket on top of it that also held the linen cloth, and it became a relatively comfortable sleeping bag. This thing is really a cheap, comfortable and easy-to-carry thing for the people around it! So these students made a lot of money for it. Of course, this sleeping bag was not invented by the students, but was imitated according to the sleeping bags uniformly distributed in the college. At that time, when the students of the college were enrolled, I took all kinds of furniture and bedding from the mall for them to live comfortably, including portable sleeping bags. Probably because the students felt it was very comfortable, they copied it and sold it here. Now it just so happens that the people who live in this house for a while have bought this. Seen by the Emperor......
In addition to this, other small furniture has also attracted the attention of the emperor, after all, there are many craftsmen in this Crescent City who have come from my Zhuangzi and some people who have been instructed by Lubanmen. So they copied a lot of furniture from later generations. Now these craftsmen are also left in Crescent City and cannot leave for the time being, and they are very idle except for helping to install the amusement equipment. So these people used their carpenter's skills to make a lot of furniture and sell it in the market. As a result, although these ordinary tables, chairs and benches are different from the low tables and beds that were popular in this era, they are better than comfortable and cheap. So it also made these craftsmen earn a lot. At the same time, the style of these furniture was also passed on. Including all kinds of 'tall furniture', there are a lot of styles that are not available in this era. After all, most of the people in this era are accustomed to sitting on the ground, and the style of the furniture is extremely delicate and generous, round and plump. The minimalist style of furniture, on the other hand, is so scarce that it is impossible to see at all. Now because of this market and low prices, the style and style are directly spread......
So when the emperor saw these furniture, he was still a little surprised.
Then there is the electric lighting and heating facilities in this house. Electric lights are everywhere in the shopping streets, and they've been around for a long time. So even inside the palace, a generator was installed to provide electricity and light to one of the rooms.
In fact, the main reason why there is electricity in only one palace in the palace is because of the arson. After all, the various halls in the entire palace are mainly made of wood. There was also no river in the palace that flowed fast enough for a hydroelectric generator. For this reason, it was not until the development of steam-powered power generation facilities that a set of power generation facilities was installed in the form of rarities for the Imperial Palace, and electric lights were installed in one of the side halls......
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor only studied the electric light in this room a little, and then focused on the heating here. This is a facility that even the Imperial Palace doesn't have!
The emperor inquired about me for a long time before nodding his head with satisfaction, and motioned me to turn around and present a copy of the book, proposing to promote this heating facility.
In fact, the technology of this thing has been filed with the Ministry of Industry. However, I felt that His Majesty the Emperor might reward me for this, so I was specifically instructed to submit a note. Since it's good intentions, don't shirk it.
After studying in the room for a long time, and even personally trying the flush toilet here, His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied and proposed to report all the facilities here in the fold.
Anyway, the Ministry of Engineering has this thing! Didn't those people in the Ministry of Works report these things to Your Majesty?
I heard that the Ministry of Industry has already renovated its own yamen, and in their yamen, electricity and sewers have been installed, and the rooms have been smeared with cement, so that the entire Ministry of Industry yamen has become very suitable for living. But~ Could it be that they didn't report it to the emperor?
When I thought of the fact that only one side hall in the palace was electrified, and only one electric light was installed~ I began to wonder if the people from the Ministry of Industry deliberately wanted to snub the emperor...... Of course, it's just that I'm thinking too much. Later, I learned that although this matter had been reported by the Ministry of Industry a long time ago, the emperor and the other six officials in the court at that time did not care. In their eyes, this is just a 'small road' of trivial tricks. It's not worth their attention. For them, it is not as important as the research work in the 'Firearms Department', which is independent from the Ministry of Industry!
So it was only now that His Majesty the Emperor discovered the comfort of these inventions. That's why I thought of promoting it. And the harem where he wants to live has become so comfortable! After all, the palace is dark and cold in winter, and only a few halls are brightly lit and warm like spring heated by charcoal stoves.
It is said that until now, there is no honeycomb coal stove in the palace, which was invented long ago. I heard that the 'charcoal' is not as valuable as the good 'snowflake charcoal', and the honeycomb coal stove is particularly ugly after adding a chimney......
Now it looks like this radiator is more beautiful than a honeycomb coal stove, and it is smokeless and odorless. That's why he was taken by His Majesty the Emperor. Ready to install it in his harem as well...... In fact, the technology of this thing has long been thoroughly studied by the people of the academy because the steam engine and steam boiler have long been thoroughly studied, so the technology is mature and can be installed if you want. For this reason, I directly asked the craftsmen here to install this heating facility in the palace.
The emperor was quite happy about this.
Then he began to ask me about the reasons why the Crescent City was so popular with the people, and how to calculate the city's current profits and the cost of its construction.
In this way, my worries are really right! At least the emperor as well found the comfort of accommodation in this kind of city. Is this a sign that a new city is about to be built on a large scale in Datang? If that's the case, I'm going to die! In addition, are the craftsmen of the entire Datang really enough? Let's not forget that the main reason why the city can be built in a month is because it has enough people to help and enough building materials in advance. The miracle of building a city in a month was done at the same time!
I have to make all these things clear to Your Majesty. But I can't forget my main purpose of meeting the Emperor!
