Chapter 383: The Steam Age is Rolling

……………………………………

If I remember correctly, Liu Hong's Wanjintang was small, and the money collected couldn't be put down, and they were all placed in the homes of Zhongchang and Xiaohuangmen, but He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao took turns to copy it.

None of the four major banks today belong entirely to the state, but they are inseparable from the state and unbreakable. In addition to the fixed shares held by the royal family, the fixed shares of the other three are held by the state, and at the same time, they have also obtained a large group of "loyal shareholders" behind each bank, who are either royal clansmen, or capable officials, or military generals, or famous and virtuous, and local tycoons.

Liu Hanshao gathered not only money, but also people, or people's hearts.

Brother, rest assured!

Even if you are unreliable and like to fool people, for the sake of us being able to open a bank together and share the money, we will unswervingly mess with you!

Looking at the proud appearance of the four major governors, Finance Minister Cui Lie and Wage Administrator Mao Jue always have an impulse to "go up, and then fast". Everyone is in charge of money, why do you want someone to open your mouth to borrow money from you every day, and we are afraid that someone will reach out to us and ask for money every day? Our brothers are provoking whom, and every day is like a debt dodge!

A certain martyr said: "Or, let's also deposit the money in the bank and eat some interest?" ”

A certain Jue hesitated and said, "Isn't it okay? Our payroll department pays salaries, if you are in arrears for too long, you will be scolded! ”

Remember the URL

A certain martyr said: "What are you afraid of being scolded? At the beginning, the old man spent money to buy an official, and he was not scolded. Now the old man is not still the minister, but the person who scolds the old man can only go and merge with the state. ”

A certain Jue said curiously: "Who?" ”

A certain lie proudly said: "Cui Zhouping, that rabbit cub!" ”

This is just a quiet change in the upper echelons, and for the ordinary people of Luoyang City, perhaps the most discussed thing is the "split vote". This fresh product first flowed out of the Royal Bank of Dahan, and now it has been used by the four major banks, and like the copper coin, it is also printed with the eight characters "Made in Dahan, must be a fine product".

At the beginning, maybe it was not at ease, maybe it was curiosity, and many people who got the split ticket took it to the bank to exchange copper coins, and they didn't change much, just to try to make it. Later, as soon as this freshness passed, no one did such "stupid things" anymore, especially some senior craftsmen in various workshops in Luoyang, who could receive a stack of salaries.

Things in Luoyang City are still expensive, but if you take two five-cent tickets, it can be equal to a thousand dollars, which is also convenient...... Don't get tired! So the people began to like to take copper coins, especially the five baht coins in the past, and run to the bank to exchange cents, and the employees on the bank counter died.

However, in the process, "money" also has a new concept. In the past, when we talked about money, it meant a five-baht coin, but now when we talk about "money", it is a general term for copper coins and cents that also include five-baht coins, and "cents and texts" are another names to distinguish the size of the money. Do you still remember Yuan Shao's little bieye? At the beginning, it cost Yuan Shao nearly 30,000 yuan, but now when he mentions it again, he will only say that it is nearly "three million points".

…………

Or Shanglin Yuan, Mint.

Although there is no boss of the province this time, the alert level seems to be higher, even the ordinary workers of the Mint have been temporarily evacuated, and in addition to Liu Hanshao, there are also a few people such as Ma Jun, Pu Chang, and Wu Fu.

Wu Fu's current position is the treasurer of the "Hanjin Joint Reserve", but the Mint is also under the jurisdiction of the Hanjin United Reserve, and he can only watch today's matter, and he does not have much right to speak.

The charcoal fire in the furnace box was booming, reflecting the faces of Ma Jun and Pu Chang, making the two of them look red, but their expressions were abnormally solemn. The boiler on the furnace box finally boiled, steam poured from the intake pipe into the cylinder, laboriously pushed the piston, and the connecting rod was driven to the crank, which drove the flywheel to slowly spin, and then through a transmission system, and then drove the hammer head on the press to slowly climb upward. Finally, the hammer head rose to the top, flew down, made a loud noise, and when it climbed up again, there was a new copper coin in the "lower die" on the workbench.

"Master, master!"

Ma Jun screamed twice uncontrollably, but he was so excited that he couldn't say a word more, just ran to Liu Hanshao, tears shining brightly.

"Jun'er, okay, I really didn't disgrace the master!"

The stamping machine was still working, and a hammer made a loud sound, Wu Fu reacted from the shock, and hurriedly said to Liu Hanshao: "Director Ma can create such a magic machine, it is really my great luck!" Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to my big man! ”

Liu Hanshao laughed and said, "Deyu, don't show your timidity, this thing is called a steam engine, but it's not called a magic machine." How about it, what my brother promised you, did it? In the future, you can make as many copper coins as you want. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Wu Fu echoed continuously, and then said nervously: "No! That's not right...... Your Majesty, the number of copper coins must be strictly controlled, but you can't do as much as you want! ”

Looking at this professional and upright "Chief Wu Ku", Liu Hanshao's brain is black!

…………

When he was still in Beibi Mountain, Ma Jun almost became the Han version of Huang Daopo, and later Liu Hanshao asked Su Qi to take over the research of textile machinery, which was to transfer Ma Jun away and secretly develop a steam engine.

In his previous life and later life, as a handicraft master who always led his stinky son to play, Liu Hanshao could confidently and proudly say that making a steam engine was the same as playing. In the Internet era, information exploded, and he even saw other people's self-made pure glass steam engines, glass bottles as boilers, cylinders, pistons, connecting rods, and flywheels are all made of glass, and even the furnace box is made of alcohol lamps in glasses. It's really transparent inside and out, and it's clear at a glance.

But...... But...... But ...... But it's ...... The steam engine made by Liu Hanshao can really only be played!

Don't think that Ma Jun only has a wooden gear given by Liu Hanshao is a treasure, in fact, there is also a steam engine made of pure copper. The boiler is about the size of a can, with a straw-thick intake pipe, the cylinder is like a ham sausage, and the connecting rod and flywheel are all shining. The steam engine was placed in a wooden box with wheels at the bottom, and a small oil lamp was used to burn the boiler to make the box run. If you have to say that it is a steam locomotive, it is fine, but it is still a toy.

Fortunately, Ma Jun has always kept this toy in his studio, which can not only be properly kept, but also convenient for research and learning, otherwise, when Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi "raided the house", I am afraid that it will not be the wooden gear that will be broken.

In the first century AD, people invented the steam ball, which was the first prototype of the steam engine, but it was not until the end of the 17th century that the steam engine was invented that could be used in industry, and with it, the industrial revolution of the 18th century. Now, Liu Hanshao took Ma Jun and Pu Chang to make a toy together, and then handed it over to Ma Jun completely, let him play!

Don't look at the simple principle of this thing, it is not difficult to manufacture it under the conditions, but the most critical problem now is that there are no conditions. At the beginning, Ma Jun and Pu Chang couldn't even build a bigger boiler! Fortunately, after years of continuous experimentation, research and improvement, and coking, steelmaking and other related technologies have also been developed to a certain extent, the steam engine that can be used in practical use has finally been manufactured.

On the other hand, the recognition of the new copper coins by the people is getting higher and higher, and even the people of Luoyang and some merchants are reluctant to accept the five baht coins...... Riding a horse across the bridge has to charge ten cents, grab a handful of five baht to give it to others, how embarrassing!

Although Wu Fu didn't know the word, he was very anxious when he saw that there were always not enough new copper coins on the market. Because he knew that His Majesty had said that sooner or later the five-baht coin would be abolished. Judging from this shape, maybe when there are enough copper coins on the market, that is, when this day comes, it is equivalent to depending on whether you can give it or not!

However, the new copper coins use stamping technology, which in turn requires a hydraulic drive. In this way, it is necessary to rely on the river, but the river has a dry period, and in winter there will even be a period of ice.

Therefore, Wu Fu had already complained to Liu Hanshao and asked if he could build a mint elsewhere. However, the mint needs to be on high alert, technical secrecy, and ...... Now that cement factories are being built everywhere, they also need to be driven by hydraulic power, so how can there be a suitable place to build a coin factory?

Knowing the progress of Ma Jun's research, Liu Hanshao kept reassuring Wu Fu, asking him to wait, wait, and finally, ushered in today's exciting moment.

…………

Wu Fu saw it clearly, and said in his heart: With this kind of magic machine, I will smash copper coins wherever I want in the future, and I will no longer have to wait for the water to come next to the river, and I will use as many machines as I want to smash together, and I will no longer have to build a dam and a waterwheel!

Your Majesty...... What a man of God!

Liu Hanshao didn't know wow, if Wu Fu really dared to say this, he would praise him: Look at your talent!

The people present, except for Liu Hanshao, must have known how important the steam engine is, not to mention, the cotton gins, spinning machines, and looms invented by his wife Su Qi are all ready-made, as long as they are connected to the flywheel of the steam engine, they can save manpower.

Cart!

And cars!

The sample made by the master is a car that can run around by itself, and it doesn't need to be horse-pulled. How great it would be if I could build that kind of car in the future, so that everyone in the big Han can sit in that kind of car and go wherever they want!

"Division...... Master! ”

"Huh?"

Liu Hanshao thought that Ma Jun's stuttering problem had been committed again, and he just wanted to raise his hand to shave his ear, but he heard Ma Jun say with emotion: "This is really a world of fuckers!" ”

"Hmm. The master can responsibly tell you that you must be the best in the world! ”

"No, no, no, don't dare! The apprentice is not as good as the master! ”

"Huh? Forgot what I taught you? If you have confidence in yourself, you must be better than the master. ”

"Yes! The apprentice works hard, and the apprentice remembers the master's teachings! ”

Wu Fu wanted to say to Ma Jun: "Bring me twenty steam engines!" But I overheard a strange conversation between the master and the apprentice, and I was instantly confused.
