Chapter 494: Piano and Elementary Microscope
Sun Xiangfu couldn't explain to Qin Qiong, why he didn't have to worry about Li Shimin doing the thing of 'the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden', because this involves the secret of his crossing.
Of course, some words of relief still have to be said, for the time being, Li Shimin is still extremely generous to his old subordinates, from the fact that he has pardoned the embezzlement of the eldest grandson Shunde and Zhang Liang many times, and also mobilized resources to treat Du Ruhui and so on, it can be seen that he still hopes that these old ministers will accompany him more.
It's a pity that Sun Xiangfu knew that there were twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but he didn't know the birth and death dates of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and how they died.
Now, due to Sun Xiangfu's crossing, the life experiences of these ministers have all changed, even their diet, living habits, etc., have also changed, and the years of birth and death have naturally changed.
Like Du Ruhui and Changsun Shunde, who should have died, they are not dead yet, and Zhang Gongjin, who should have died of illness next year in history, is also alive and well now, and he has also become the governor of Andong, he has never been to work in Pyongyang City in history, and Cheng Yanjin, who was supposed to be guarding Chang'an and Songzhou, was sent to the Western Regions and stayed for two or three years, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who was supposed to help Li Shimin fight in all directions, was sent to Jiangnan Province as the governor, and lived a good life in peace for two years······
These things will make the whole history change dramatically, Sun Xiangfu only knew through some film and television dramas that he had watched in later generations that most of these heroes in history had a good death, but now, he didn't dare to say what the situation would be in the future, because the world would produce more changes because of some small changes, not to mention, the current Datang is far from the Tang Dynasty in history.
After sending Qin Qiong away, Sun Xiangfu called Uncle De to the study, although the main industries in Xingfu Village have been moved to Weinan, but all the research work is still on the hands of the children of the peasant sect, and when there is any progress, they will go to the Sun Mansion to inform Uncle De, and Uncle De will send a letter to Sun Xiangfu.
Now, Sun Xiangfu has returned home, and Uncle De should also summarize these things with Sun Xiangfu, he remembers that there was a letter saying that there were several things that were about to be done recently.
"Master, it's a steel piano and a telescope, the people of Happy Village said a few days ago that these things are too big, if Shanyang needs them, they will directly transport the materials to assemble them, but if they stay in Chang'an, they will find a way to pull them over by boat, let's arrange enough manpower to carry them back to the house at Qujiang Wharf."
"It's not a piano made of steel, it's a piano, and if this thing is all made of pure steel, I'm afraid that a few people will have to carry it. As for the telescope, it may be really a bit big, and a dozen people may not be able to lift it. ”
The pronunciation principle of the piano is not difficult to understand, Sun Xiangfu, who has studied the piano, roughly knows its structure, and to make it, it is difficult to smelt high-carbon steel tuning nails that can accurately touch different scales, as well as metal strings.
In addition, like the hammer, to wrap a layer of felt or flannel, these technologies are also after the success of the wool research of the garment workshop, and some progress has been made, so from the beginning of Sun Xiangfu wanted to build the piano and let his subordinates study it, until it is now really formed, it took almost five years.
For such a long time, the craftsmen don't know how much coal, metal and steel, how many scalps they scratched, and how many brain cells they died, before finally reporting this thing they thought could be used for delivery to Sun Xiangfu.
And a 160-fold telescope, even more so, with the current price of glass, you let so many craftsmen who know how to fire glass to study it, the daily loss can be calculated in tens of thousands, and such a research, once it is done, it has lasted for more than three years, with money, it is no longer possible to measure its value.
"Hehe, the old slave doesn't understand, they said so, the old slave just remembered it, now, did you notify them to send things to the house?"
Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Send it over!" In addition, from the family's account, the craftsmen involved in the research and manufacture of pianos and telescopes were given a bonus of 3,000 yen each, and the leaders of the two research groups were each given a bonus of 10,000 yuan. ”
"Well, there are a lot of them, your mouth, but more than 100,000 are gone!"
"It's just a hundred thousand, and you can earn it back soon, when you send the money over, you ask the people from the telescope research team to bring a full set of materials to Shanyang Medical College and Shanyang Agricultural College, and install one each!" The appearance may be a little adjusted, Shanyang has the conditions for adjustment, as long as the things are installed indoors and set up on a high platform, they understand. ”
The one that was sent to Sun's house was just a telescope for looking at the stars, and the one that was sent to Shanyang was a primary microscope for research, and if it was just a few adjustments to the pedestal shelves that were easy to use, there were tools and craftsmen on Shanyang's side who could easily support them.
"No, what about the piano?"
"After I try the piano, see if there is anything that needs to be improved, if it can be done, we have to get materials, build a factory, mass production, and the people in the research team can't be idle, let them find a way to make the piano more beautiful, the tone is more pleasant, and if there is progress, there will be rewards."
"No, the old slave will do it."
Datang's various technical research is constantly improving, Sun Xiangfu has opened a door to research and development for all walks of life, and later, to what extent it can be developed, he himself can not imagine, just like the various factories in Weinan, with the help of various new tools launched by the Industrial Research Institute, their production efficiency, as well as product refinement, has already exceeded the traditional production process many times.
Outsiders can't imagine that when workers have a blank drawing machine that can rotate quickly with a light step of their feet, the speed of making ceramic ware will be many times faster than the original pure hand kneading.
It is precisely because of the progress of industry that Datang has more means to exchange mud for money, so that the money in exchange for more high-tech technology, for the time being, its convenient production technology, in fact, has not lost to the Song Dynasty.
In fact, those Confucian people knew that they could not stop the great momentum of everyone's profit, and they themselves also sought profit, so they thought of another way to make profits for themselves, that is, to say that this kind of technological innovation was the credit of their Confucian ancestors.
In his heart, Sun Xiangfu is a little forced to look at their behavior, he has learned some unrealistic things, but he wants to take the credit of others, if everything can be solved with one mouth, then the world will not be so complicated.
Anyway, for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Xiangfu still has to find a way to correct Li Tai, of course, before that, he still needs to do some work, for example, to visit Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng, so as not to really get into a fight when he gets it, and there will be accidental injuries.
"Xiu'er, prepare some gifts, tomorrow, let's go to visit my father-in-law and grandpa."
In the children's play hall, Sun Jing and Sun Wanting were enjoying dinner in their own unique way, even if Sun Xiangfu came, they didn't plan to get off their own manpower rocking car, but when Sun Xiangfu came, the person who helped them step on the rocking car naturally changed from Yu Xiuer to Sun Xiangfu.
"How did my husband suddenly remember that he was going to visit his parents."
Giving the task of pedaling to Sun Xiangfu, Yu Xiuer was finally able to concentrate on feeding the two little guys, but the two little guys were already more interested in playing than eating, and every day when eating, Yu Xiuer had to chase them around the house and coax them for a long time before they would take a bite.
"Isn't this coming back, I always want to go and see, by the way, and talk to Grandpa about something."
"Is it the Confucian thing?"
"Yes! Grandpa is also one of the most famous Confucians in the world, and I'm worried that they will engage in some kind of moral kidnapping and pit Grandpa. ”
"Don't worry! Grandpa is not pedantic, it's just that because Guozijian is now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, Grandpa's responsibility is to find a way to guide them. ”
If Yu Shinan was a corrupt Confucian, he would not be so valued by Li Shimin, in fact, in the entire Zhenguan Dynasty, there was no corrupt Confucian who could hold a high position. Li Shimin paid attention to, but hard work, before Cheng Zhu Lixue did not become the mainstream of Confucianism, Confucianism still had some practical spirit, as long as you look at the famous poets and scholars of the Tang Dynasty, what they did, you know.
"It is precisely because of this that my husband has to seek Grandpa's guidance!"
Yu Xiu'er smiled when she heard this, "Hehe, in this world, there are things that the husband can't decide, just right, these days the training is tight, and I haven't visited them for a long time, tomorrow, I will bring Huan Huanle to go together, this gift, you don't have to give anything else, just send two more boxes of those blueberries in the cold storage, grandpa likes to eat." ”
Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Well, you look at the arrangement, in addition, bring two more boxes, tomorrow, Wei Shangshu Mansion, I'm afraid I will have to go too, and there are all the families that are relatively close, let Uncle De send two boxes over."
As for the palace, Your Majesty has not returned, it is not good for a foreign minister like me to enter the harem to meet the queen now, you send someone to send a large car, let the queen mother distribute it by herself, before the royal family's blueberry field was not planted, this blueberry, but only our family has it, but they can't eat it for money. ”
Shanyang's blueberries began this year, and gradually entered the peak production period, this kind of artificially planted European blueberries, the maturity period is a month earlier than the wild blueberries, the seventh month of the solar calendar, the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it has been ripe, Sun Xiangfu came back when people pulled back a lot from Shanyang, just for everyone to try.
"The concubine knows ······"
The two little ghosts would not let them speak so easily, and seeing that Sun Xiangfu's focus was not on them, he interrupted their chat and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy, shake faster, shake faster······"
Sun Xiangfu looked at Yu Xiu'er's hand, and said, "If you want to eat faster, Daddy will shake it faster!" ”
"Mother, I want to eat, ah~"
"I'm going to eat it too, ah~"
The two little ghosts scrambled to open their mouths wide, making Yu Xiu'er, who was feeding, smile, but they forgot what they wanted to say just now.
A few days ago, Zhao Long came from Xingfu Village, saying that he had been playing at home for half a year, and he couldn't stay idle, and he wanted to ask the government what arrangements were made for them next, but just now Uncle De sent someone to send bonuses and words to let the people in the village send binoculars and pianos over, and they should know that they stay in the village every day, and then they will know that Sun Xiangfu has returned to Chang'an, and they should come to the house to see them.
