Chapter 296: Inspecting the Black Medicine Workshop
Human nature is like this, it is good, but because of sudden unexpected circumstances, it will do something more out of the ordinary. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For example, Li An was originally trying to think about scientific knowledge to benefit the people of Datang, but just because Yan Ruyu walked to his side and gently stroked his forehead, he instantly threw away his feelings of worrying about the country and the people, and instead longed to press Yan Ruyu on the table and pamper him well.
This change of thinking happened in an instant, without deliberate preparation, let alone warning, even Ang Lee himself found it difficult to understand, but there were some things that were not under his control at all, such as his thoughts at the moment.
Of course, Ang Lee is not the only one who is like this, and similar reports often appear in later generations, a man walks alone on a small road without people, thinking about life while enjoying the scenery, and even, from time to time, he has a mentality of worrying about the country and the people.
At this moment, a young woman suddenly appeared, and she was still very beautiful and fashionable, wearing a miniskirt, very fair skin, and wearing seductive black silk.
At this time, the man will often see the color, suddenly rush over, cover the woman's mouth, and drag her into the woods.
The so-called lust is an occasional situation, and the crime caused by it is, of course, an occasional crime, so the girls of the later generations should not dress too sexy, let alone walk alone at night, there is a saying called don't pretend to be forced, pretending to be forced will be struck by lightning, saying that it is too public, and people who don't know how to protect themselves.
At this moment, Yan Ruyu was pressed under Li An, although she wanted to resist, she had no ability to resist, and Li An had unceremoniously put her big hand into her dirty clothes and stroked the soft and warm parts.
"Husband, you're like this again, woo!"
Yan Ruyu didn't like Ang Li's rudeness, but was worried that the grass outside and the subordinates would find out, after all, this is the study, the subordinates will come over, and it is a sure thing to be discovered, and with the standards of women in this era, how can she tolerate the process of being pampered by her husband and being seen by the subordinates? Isn't this a real-life version of the Gate incident?
Of course, Ang Li and Yan Ruyu are already a legal husband and wife, even if they are known by the subordinates, they will not think that there is anything unseemly, but Cao'er, this girl, will cancel her with special eyes.
"Ruyu, my husband has a terrible headache now, if you let me spoil me, my head won't hurt."
Li An smiled evilly, gnawed on Yan Ruyu's face with his mouth, and made Yan Ruyu's face saliva, but this is very comfortable, Yan Ruyu likes it very much.
Next, Ang Lee's actions became more and more bold and excessive, so he pressed Yan Ruyu on the table and pampered him for half an hour, until he was too addicted.
Yan Ruyu was lying on the table with her back on her back, her face was full of water, there was sweat, and there was also Li An's saliva, red fluttering, watery, very beautiful, and with Yan Ruyu's delicate panting, it felt even more wonderful.
Seeing Yan Ruyu's humiliated and weak expression, Ang Li hugged Yan Ruyu back into his arms, wiped the sweat and saliva from her face with his arms, and gently caressed her.
The drawings drawn half an hour ago had been wet, and there were water trails on them, but Ang Lee, who had been addicted to it, found that his mind suddenly became bright, and he actually thought of a lot of mechanical knowledge that he had learned in his previous life, so that he immediately understood how to make the head of the iron wheel.
"Ruyu, thank you, you are really a lucky star for your husband, your husband now knows what to do, come, draw a picture now."
Li An hugged Yan Ruyu's thin waist tightly with one hand, and drew on the already wet drawings with the other.
"Husband, what is this, it looks weird."
"Well, this is the head of the iron wheel, and after it is made, my husband will take you to see it with your own eyes."
"Oh, my husband has to count when he speaks! Be sure to show me around. ”
"Oh, when did my husband deceive my Mrs. Ruyu! Isn't that looking for a fight? Ha ha! ”
"Hee-hee-hee."
Life is so comfortable, busy with enough leisure, there are obedient servants, friends to chat with, leaders and subordinates, and there are beautiful wives who can be pampered at any time.
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no one's life is more comfortable than Li An, and no one can compare to Li An just because of the facilities of the mansion.
Daming Palace was originally going to move a lot of things from Li An's house, but in order to build the black powder workshop as soon as possible, all the manpower of the Ministry of Industry was transferred, and all the construction of the palace was stopped, so Li Longji was not as comfortable as Li An.
Is he great with Yang Yuhuan? Li An is also comfortable with Yan Ruyu in his arms, and Li An is relatively young, less than twenty years old, while Li Longji is over half a hundred years old, and he is about to celebrate his sixtieth birthday in two years, how can such an old body be compared with Li An? I'm afraid that no matter how many beauties there are in the harem, he won't be blessed to take a few, and even Yang Yuhuan, who is the only favorite, is difficult to be pampered every day.
Thinking about it like this, Ang Lee suddenly felt that he was so happy! Tens of thousands of times happier than in previous lives.
Ang Lee is still experiencing happiness, while the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are working hard.
In just half a month, the gunpowder workshop covering an area of more than 100 acres was basically completed, only the individual facilities inside have not been completed, and the sweeping work will take two or three days at most, and then Li An can enter it and preside over the production work.
At this moment, nearly half of the vegetables in the five hundred greenhouses could be put on the market, and the little steward Wang Ba was busy leading a group of people all day long to transport these vegetables to the market in the capital to sell, and the income was quite rich, and all of this income was Li An's, and they could only get a small part.
Ang Lee himself often goes to the vegetable greenhouse, picks some fresh vegetables, takes them home to stir-fry and eat, and for fresh cucumbers, he picks them directly and eats them.
And when Ang Lee was wandering around, he also found that the existing servants would secretly pick cucumbers to satisfy their hunger in between work, Ang Lee did not blame, as long as they worked hard, what did it matter if they ate some cucumbers secretly? Ang Lee is definitely not too harsh on the servants, and it is very important for them to experience warmth.
In addition, through the unremitting efforts of the craftsmen, the length of the railroad track was extended to the south of the processing plant, through the gap between the vegetable greenhouses, and through the stone arch bridge, all the way to the south.
According to the current progress, it will take about two or three months for the fifteen-mile track to be fully laid, but this is not in a hurry, just take your time, and there is no hurry to use it anyway.
Ang Lee's redesigned iron wheel car and iron wheel nose are also being manufactured, and the two are connected with metal and can be joined together to form a single unit, with the front iron wheel head providing power and the iron wheel car behind to carry goods and people.
The structure of the iron wheel car is relatively simple, it has been built, and it is waiting to be used, while the structure of the iron wheel head is more responsible, especially the need to build a lot of gears, which is really difficult.
According to the craftsmen, it is necessary to carve the shape of the gear with wood first, and then use this wooden gear as a template and pour the mold with molten iron, so that the iron gear can be made.
Because of the trouble, the progress will naturally be relatively slow, and the power of the iron wheel front designed by Ang Lee is to drive the foot pedal by manpower, drive the gear to rotate, and the gear to drive the gear again, and step by step drive the axle below, so as to promote the forward movement of the wheel.
This is similar to the principle of the bicycle, all with pedals, however, due to the iron wheel head, there is also an iron wheel carriage to hang behind, the overall weight is relatively heavy, even on the smooth rails, let a person use the pedal, it is enough to choke, so, Li An designed a multi-person pedaling system, the mechanism used to pedal the car, divided into three rows, can allow three rows of manpower to use the pedals, each row of up to six people, three rows are eighteen people, with the leg step strength of eighteen people, drive the iron wheel head, should be enough to drive the back of the car, Even if the back carriage is full.
Of course, if the strength is not enough, the front of the car can also be designed with a few more driving wheels, each pair of driving wheels with six manpower driven, if the design of ten pairs of driving wheels, that is sixty manpower, that power is enough to match more than ten horses.
Just imagine how easy it would be to let a dozen horses pull the cart on the rails, even if the three pairs of driving wheels designed by Ang Lee required eighteen people, it was enough to match four or five horses, and it was more than enough to carry one carriage.
Li Longji naturally knew about Li Longji's development of the iron wheel carriage and laying the railroad tracks, although he felt a little unreliable, but Li An did not delay the matter of guiding the construction of the black powder workshop, therefore, Li Longji did not ask, of course, this is mainly because Li Longji has completely believed in Li An, he feels that since Li An has done this, there must be his reasons, as long as it is under his control, Li An does something he likes, there is nothing bad.
Three days later, with the hard work of all the officials of the Ministry of Industry, the black powder workshop was fully completed, and a majestic small workshop stood ten miles south of the capital.
On the day of completion, all the gates in the south of the capital were under martial law, and the Tang Emperor Li Longji personally went to inspect the black powder workshop to see with his own eyes how the workshop that pinned his dreams was being built.
As the top leader and technical director of the Black Powder Workshop, Li Ang naturally wanted to accompany Li Longji to inspect, and he had to walk beside Li Longji to explain what each building was for.
The black powder workshop was able to be completed as soon as possible, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry were indispensable, especially the servants of the Ministry of Industry and several of their subordinates, all of whom lived and ate on the construction site, sharing weal and woe with craftsmen and people, which greatly ensured the progress and quality of the construction.
At this time, the emperor was going to come to inspect, and these officials of the Ministry of Industry naturally had to accompany him and stay behind Li Longji to listen to the emperor's inquiries at any time.
At the moment when Li Longji arrived, officials and craftsmen of all sizes knelt on the ground, and with a wave of Li Longji's hand, everyone got up in turn.
"Chen Xuanli."
"The minister is here."
Chen Xuanli stepped forward and obeyed the order.
"The Black Powder Workshop is extremely important to my Datang, there must not be half a point of misconduct, you immediately dispatch six hundred Dragon Martial Army soldiers to guard here day and night, and idle people are not allowed to enter, otherwise, you will be killed."
Li Longji ordered.
"Obey."
Chen Xuanli received the order loudly, and immediately turned around and went to prepare.
Li Longji did not rush into the inside of the workshop, but stood outside, observing the towering walls of the workshop, calculating whether the six hundred dragon warriors and horses could protect the workshop thoroughly, and there was no need to add some more people and horses.
Chen Xuanli's work efficiency was still very fast, and it didn't take long for six hundred Longwu soldiers to arrive near the workshop, and according to Chen Xuanli's instructions, they were stationed in different locations, four walls, each with 100 people, and the remaining 200 people stationed inside.
Of course, this is because Chen Xuanli has long been ordered by Li Longji, and he has made preparations early, and the second order just now is just a repetition, and it is for the ministers.
"Your Majesty, the workshop is guarded by six hundred dragon warriors, it must be foolproof, as long as all the raw materials are transported in, Weichen can start working at any time."
Li An looked at the soldiers of the Longwu Army who entered the workshop and said softly.
Li Longji nodded with a smile, and pointed with his hand: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen leads the way."
Ang Lee couldn't be more familiar with the internal structure of the workshop, firstly, these are all designed by him, and secondly, in the process of building the workshop, he has been responsible for guiding the work, and he is more familiar with the workshop.
"Your Majesty, on the left is the raw material warehouse, let's go over and take a look."
As soon as he entered the workshop, Li An first took Li Longji and the ministers to the location of the raw material warehouse, and Li Longji and the ministers could only follow closely.
"Your Majesty, this warehouse will be used to store croton powder in the future, with many windows and good ventilation, so that the croton powder will not get wet."
"Your Majesty, the shelves in this warehouse are used to smoke herbs, and the herbs are to be smoked with sulfur, so the finished black powder made will have a smell of sulfur, even if it has been fried, you can smell the smell of sulfur, and the house next to it is specially used to hold sulfur, and it takes seven hundred and forty-nine days to smoke herbs, so the cost of sulfur is also relatively large, and you need to prepare more."
"Your Majesty, this place is ...... stored"
Li An introduced them one by one, saying all fake news, and Li Longji nodded again and again when he heard it, and warned the ministers behind him not to leak it out at will, so as not to be learned by Fanbang, and taking them to see it shows Li Longji's absolute trust in these humerus ministers, believing that these courtiers will not leak secrets and are loyal to the Tang Empire.
