Academy.

Apocalypse, who was busy making cylinders, looked at Yang Xin and the thirty-six people he had brought with him suspiciously.

But the two just exchanged glances.

At the same time, Huang Duanbo and the others knelt down one after another, bowing to their Emperor Majesty, Yang Xin whispered a detailed explanation in Tianqi's ear, and Tianqi nodded slightly.

"Get up, I already know your intentions, but Shi Kefa has indeed committed a crime, and the law must be judged according to the law, the law of the Ming Dynasty is established by the Taizu, and anyone in the Ming Dynasty must abide by it, and those who commit crimes must also be punished. However, since the Marquis of Hejian said that he would no longer pursue it, and Shi Kefa's move was indeed to avenge the teacher, after the judgment of the law department, I would pardon him, but only remove his fame and remove him from the Jinyi Wei Shi position. ”

Apocalypse said.

Huang Duanbo and others hurriedly thanked him.

The removal of merit and fame is not imprisonment, it is nothing more than that this subject cannot be examined.

But after this incident, with Shi Kefa's reputation, the next science show talent will definitely be promoted in one go, so this should be the most perfect result.

Besides, what else?

Based on the performance of those lifters today, do you really expect them to continue to fight for this?

If they don't participate, it's just that these thirty-six people have a fart, and going directly to prison will not cause any impact.

"Hejian Hou, you take them around here!"

Apocalypse said.

He wasn't interested in talking nonsense with these people.

"Your Majesty......"

Huang Duanbo looked at the back of the apocalypse and stopped talking.

His Majesty the Emperor did not pay any attention to him, and at this moment His Majesty was preoccupied with instructing an old craftsman, who was carefully hammering a thick tin plate with a wooden hammer, which was wrapped around a smooth log, and with the striker the whole tin cylinder was taking shape little by little. Song Yingxing on the opposite side was also staring, as if this tin cylinder could decide the fate of the Ming Empire, in fact, Song Yingxing has been getting farther and farther away from the struggle in the court over the years, at least he will not take the initiative to participate, after all, for him, these of the Academy of Sciences are more worthy of care than the Donglin Party's vicious fighting eunuch party.

The fascination of science is not only for the apocalypse, but also for him.

"Huang Juzi, do you know what His Majesty is making?"

Yang Xin said.

Huang Duanbo did not answer him.

As a standard literati, Huang Juzi is still not interested in this kind of strange tricks.

But Wan Yuan Ji still looked at it with interest, of course, he was interested because he and Song Yingxing were actually from the Yuzhang Society, but he was younger than these people, so he could be regarded as a junior brother, as the current highest grade among the members of the Yuzhang Society, Song Yingxing is now like a legend. Although Huang Duanbo is also from Jiangxi, he is from Jianchang, and he is not in the same system as Nanchang Yuzhang Society, because Song Yingxing drove him to even set off a trend of learning science in Nanchang......

Actually, it's not just trends.

Song Yingxing secretly learned a lot of things at the Academy of Sciences, and then also secretly stuffed it to his hometown friends.

And these things quickly turned into real silver, such as hydraulic forging hammers have been common in the Nanchang area, this thing made the local gentry in Nanchang also began to produce high-quality wrought iron in large quantities.

They also have an iron-smelting base.

At this time, Xinyu is an important iron-smelting land.

And there are also giant pig iron furnaces.

One is six meters high, can hold several tons of iron ore at a time, charcoal or coke smelting, and can produce a furnace of pig iron in four hours.

Jiangxi is also a steel base.

In the final analysis, the gentry are not stupid, as long as they can quickly bring profits, they will also pursue, such as Yang Xin's corn breeding in the capital, Song Yingxing often goes to peep, and even grows corn in his hometown, and is also learning breeding, as well as sweet potatoes, he also grows in the mountains of Jiangxi, and even learns to make canned food, and secretly takes out several mercury thermometers.

Of course, because of the problem of time, these are only in the Nanchang area.

Huang Duanbo in Jianchang is not able to feel the changes brought about by science, in his opinion, this mess is obviously the evidence that His Majesty the Emperor is not doing his job, an emperor, does not look at the twists and turns, does not go to the court, and even the ministers are rarely summoned, but every day with a group of craftsmen and ministers, here to make these messes, this is not not a serious business? As a responsible civil servant, who believes in the principle of death and admonition, he must of course advise, even if the advice is unsuccessful.

"Hou Hejian, what do you say this is?"

Huang Duanbo said.

"Could it be that Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, is striking iron here?"

Wei Jingyu followed and asked.

However, at this time, the apocalypse had already been engrossed in it, and he simply turned a deaf ear to their words.

This is the key to the steam engine, whether this cylinder can be made, on behalf of the experimental steam engine can be realized, but this is just a similar verification thing, only this steam engine can be made, and can move, then the next step will begin, that is, to make every effort to tackle the hydraulic boring machine, and continue to improve with this experiment.

When the hydraulic boring machine is successful, it will be a real practical steam engine.

"First, this is not iron, this is tin, and second, who decreed that the Son of Heaven could not strike iron? Third, His Majesty is not striking iron at present, but creating a new future for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Is this the iron cylinder? Ah, the tin tube. ”

Lu Zhenfei said speechlessly.

"Lu Juzi's hometown Quzhou, you should know that the river, the Zhanghe River, and even the Fuyang River are building cement bridges, right?"

Yang Xin said.

Nine thousand years old is engaged in a similar project to the national highway, and this official road from the capital to the south to Huguang can undoubtedly be said to be of great importance, comparable to the capital to Shanhaiguan, and the most important obstacle to this official road is the rivers that flood in summer and almost dry up in winter. It is very difficult to build bridges over these rivers by the means of the past, because the river course, to be precise, the riverbed is too wide, and the riverbed hundreds of meters wide actually has to exceed the Lugou Bridge unless it is invested in repairing the Lugou Bridge.

After all, the Lugou Bridge is only 200 meters.

But none of these riverbeds are less than this length, or even several times as long.

But with reinforced concrete, it is simple, although this steel bar is only wrought iron bars, but the cost of making bridge piers can be said to have plummeted.

Plus Yang Xin's wooden trusses are even cheaper.

The long bridge of one mile wide is nothing more than a dozen cement piers with wrought iron bars, the foundation is dug out of the river during the winter construction, and the piers are quickly poured before the flash flood breaks out when the weather warms, as long as these piers can withstand the impact of the flood season flood, then the rest is to install trusses on the piers.

More than a dozen such bridges are currently under construction, including the River, the Fuyang River and the Zhanghe River, as well as the one leading to Shanhaiguan.

This is an important political achievement project of the 9,000-year-old.

Of course, Lu Zhenfei knows this, and the construction of Linguan has begun, and even the foundation has been dug up, all the way to the solid soil layer underneath, using the screw pump of animal power to continuously drain the water, and then paving the stone slabs with holes, nailing them with wooden stakes one by one, building the ship-shaped foundation with cement and stones, and pouring the piers of wrought iron bars on the foundation, on which are the bearing caps of the same material, and wooden trusses are built on the bearing platforms.

Double piers, but on the basis of one ship type.

Anyway, at this time, you don't have to worry about the width, and in fact, you don't need to care about the load-bearing, as long as the piers can withstand the flood.

So the piers are not thick.

"So is this brought by His Majesty with technology? I think that when His Majesty used cement to make statues, as far as I know, those imperial histories were also playing, saying that His Majesty was not doing his job, saying that these strange skills were obscene and costly, but what was the final result? The construction of the three major halls saves millions of taels, and all the city walls in the north are repaired with cement, and the repair of the city wall of Guangshan Customs will save tens of thousands of stone glutinous rice, and these bridges that are being built now will completely change the traffic in the north.

So was Your Majesty not doing his job before?

Which of those who are doing the right thing can do this?

In the same way, now you say that Your Majesty is not doing this business, so dare you bet with me, twenty years from now all of you will be ashamed of this sentence, just like those imperial histories, now no one dares to say that Your Majesty's cement is not doing business. ”

Yang Xin said.

"So what the hell is this?"

Wan Yuan Ji asked curiously.

"This is a hundred zhang giant ship sailing the sea, this is carrying hundreds of thousands of catties from Nanjing to Beijing for two or three days, this is the power of all factories in the future of the Ming Dynasty, although it is now just a tin cylinder, but twenty years later, it will support an unprecedented prosperity."

Yang Xin said.

His Majesty the Emperor still hadn't heard his boasting.

The emperor who has entered the working state cannot hear anything else at all.

"Let's go, guys, I'll show you something else.

Look at this, this is what His Majesty made thunder and lightning, it can already be used for lighting, once it is lit, it will be as bright as day at night, and there is no need for any lamps and candles, if you want to see it, just come and see it at night.

His Majesty is still studying using it to deliver messages.

From here, it only takes an instant to transmit a holy decree to Nanjing.

However, we have only just learned the principle, and it will take time to implement it.

Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty benefits the people and leads the Ming Dynasty to the prosperous world, you don't necessarily have to go to the court, so why do you always stare at the court? Could it be that Your Majesty goes to the court every morning and sits down, and then a bunch of ministers get together and talk and solve the problem? Do you think that the decision made by His Majesty alone is safer than that made by a group of elderly and important ministers in the cabinet? Since we have the cabinet ministers, why do we need Your Majesty to go to court? After the cabinet has discussed, what should be done?

Does Your Majesty have to go to the instructions in person?

Isn't Your Majesty's change to the Ming Dynasty here more than the previous dynasty? The duty of the emperor, the duty of the emperor is only one, so that all the people in the world have enough food and clothing, and the last dynasty can make the people have enough food and clothing? The guano dug up by Yang from the island can increase the rice yield by 30%, may I ask, can the gathering of the princes of Gon to the meeting of the Emperor's Palace increase the rice yield of the world by 30%? Or is it your sage book that taught you how to increase the world's rice yield by 30%? So from this point of view, are the books of the Lords and Sages inferior to the guano on those islands? ”

Yang Xin said.

Huang Duanbo and the others were speechless.

(I hung the bottle for two days and wrote three chapters in two days)
