Early the next morning, in the special school of Yang Cong's mansion, Zhang Juzheng and the others were still sitting there early, and Yang Cong also appeared on the podium on time.

He was not verbose, and waved his hand directly: "I won't study for the time being today, and I will take you to see something for the teacher." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng and they have long been accustomed to Yang Cong's teaching method of "wandering around" without lecturing and taking them around, anyway, they have almost reviewed their homework, and they have almost mastered the secret skills, and the title of the gold list must not be a problem, just go shopping.

As the saying goes, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

When all the disciples heard this, they all stood up excitedly and walked out behind Yang Cong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone walked to the door of the mansion, Wang Xuan walked up with a few disciples and said excitedly: "Qingfeng, what are you going to do?" If you have time, I'll take you to see something. ”

Well, Yang Cong actually invented the sawing machine because of an inspiration yesterday, so he wanted to take his disciples to see it, show off it, and nothing else mattered.

When he saw Wang Xuan like this, he immediately couldn't help but be curious: "What is it, where is it?" ”

Wang Xuanshen said mysteriously: "A good thing is in the mechanical school." ”

Mechanic School?

Well, it just so happens that he also wants to take his disciples to the mechanical school, and at this time he is probably desperately assembling and debugging the sawing machine.

When Yang Cong heard this, he nodded again and again: "Okay, I just want to go to the Mechanics School, go, go, go." ”

The two of them just held hands, chatted as they walked, and walked towards the mechanical school together, while their disciples were also chatting with interest in the back.

At this time, there are indeed many students in the mechanical school who are assembling and debugging sawing machines, but there is an outlier in the middle of a pile of sawing machines.

This thing, how to put it, also looks like a table, but the table top of the sawing machine is square, and the table top of this thing is round, and the volume of this thing is much smaller than that of the sawing machine.

Wang Xuan excitedly pulled Yang Cong to the platform, and then asked mysteriously: "Qingfeng, guess what this thing is for?" ”

Yang Cong took a closer look, isn't this just an ordinary round table, but it seems that there is a set of steam engine transmission devices underneath, if it weren't for the traces of dirt on the table, he would definitely think that this was invented by Wang Xuan out of boredom, a "turntable" for eating.

This thing is very common in later generations, and it is generally available in hotels, but the turntable on this table is generally rotated manually, and there are few that kind of machine driven, what is Wang Xuanquan doing with such a thing?

He looked at it carefully for a long time, but he still couldn't see any clues, because this was an ordinary round table table.

Wang Xuan saw his puzzled face, so he said proudly: "I can't guess, let me tell you, this is a drawing machine for making porcelain." ”

Drawing machines for porcelain?

When Yang Cong heard this, he immediately remembered a scene from a certain movie in his mind.

The scene is two men and women playing with mud together, as if there is such a turntable in the movie, but there is a big plate of mud on the turntable, as long as you reach up and pinch the mud, the mud will form a bowl or bottle in your hand.

It turned out to be a drawing machine, no wonder it was dirty and full of traces of soil.

He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Who invented this thing?" ”

He knew that this thing should not have been invented by Wang Xuan, because Wang Xuan was not a potter, and this thing should be easier for the children of the potters to think of.

Sure enough, when Wang Xuan heard this, he quickly pulled a disciple behind him, and said proudly: "This thing was invented by him, Zhao Qi, hurry up, show it to the adults." ”

Zhao Qi arched his hand towards Yang Cong with a flushed face, then ran to the corner, took out the clay and water that had been hidden there, and brought a stool, and then turned the clay upside down on the embryo machine, sat down and demonstrated it seriously.

It turned out to be Zhao Qi, this kid seems to be a disciple of Tao Hu, looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Yang Cong couldn't help but be in a trance, he couldn't help but think of that movie in his mind, and even remembered the familiar melody.

Seeing this, Wang Xuan thought that Yang Cong was shocked by this invention, so he couldn't help but step forward, patted Yang Cong's shoulder, and said proudly: "How about it, the embryo drawing machine invented by my student has a fight with the sawing machine you invented, right?" ”

Yang Cong was slapped by Wang Xuan like this, and immediately came back to his senses, he thought about it, and then stepped forward to instruct: "Zhao Qi, what you did here is a little sloppy, this pulling pottery embryo is both water and mud, and it is easy to flow to the steam engine, so you must add a cover on it to cover it, otherwise, it won't take long for this thing to be stuck in the dried clay." ”

When Zhao Qi heard this, he hurriedly stopped, got up and said respectfully: "What the adults teach is that the students have been taught. ”

He also thought that Yang Cong was not very satisfied with the embryo drawing machine he invented, but he never thought that Yang Cong was just pretending to be a force and pointing, and then Yang Cong patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Yes, this thing you invented is very practical, and the output of porcelain will definitely increase dramatically, not bad, not bad, really good." ”

When Zhao Qi heard this, he rubbed the clay on his hands helplessly, and he didn't know how to answer.

Wang Xuan was dissatisfied on the side: "Qingfeng, why do you do thunder and not rain, just forget it?" You also said that after the invention of this thing, the output of porcelain will definitely increase dramatically, and your Yang family doesn't know how much more silver you will make at that time. With such a big benefit, you don't reward Zhao Qi, do you mean it? ”

Reward?

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, how much is the appropriate reward for inventing this thing?

Seeing this, Zhao Qi thought that Yang Cong was being ridiculed by Wang Xuan and couldn't get off the stage, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, my lord, the student just saw that the sawing machine invented by the adult was inspired, so he improved the embryo drawing machine, it is nothing at all, but he doesn't dare to ask for any reward." ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong shook his head and said: "Then how can it be done, such a major invention must be rewarded." ”

Now, it was Zhao Qi's turn to be stunned, he was also an invention?

Also a major invention!

In fact, Yang Cong does not mean that his invention of this embryo drawing machine is amazing, but that his invention and creation of the act is of great significance, if all students can learn from him, the things they are familiar with with the steam engine to transform, then the output of many things will skyrocket, and the Ming Dynasty will also enter the stage of rapid development.

The significance of this invention is so great that it must be rewarded.

Yang Cong thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, and suggest to the emperor that you go to manage the official kiln in Jiangxi, and strive to promote this embryo drawing machine as soon as possible." ”

Yes!

When Zhao Qi heard this, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

10,000 taels of silver, and there is also a chance to manage the official kiln in Jiangxi, this and this, this reward is too scary, right?

How did he know that Yang Cong wanted to use his invention to stimulate other students, stimulate them to invent and create, and apply the steam engine to various fields as soon as possible.
