Chapter 699 Monsters (3)
Zhang Yue and his entourage, when they came to the front of the workshop garden, they didn't even recognize the behemoth in front of them.
The huge wall, three feet high, almost resembles a small fortress, enveloping the workshop garden.
But......
Even so, the buildings in the workshop park cannot be hidden.
The huge chimneys, towering like clouds, counted carefully, there were at least a dozen similar chimneys.
This huge man-made object made of green bricks has the ability to be daunting.
At least, the Wusun people were scared enough.
In the hinterland of the Han people, they have seen a huge iron-smelting center, a huge workshop for the production of bows and crossbows on the assembly line, and a spectacular scene of the Han people piling tens of thousands of crossbow arrows together at one time.
However, who has ever seen a chimney as high as four or five feet tall and as big as a bucket?
In particular, these monsters are still spitting billowing smoke!
"Legend has it that the Kangju people believe in the gods of good and evil, and their evil gods have claws and teeth, feed on sulfur, swallow acid, and like to eat people's hearts......" Nimi looked up at these huge monsters and thought to himself: "These things of the Han Dynasty people have the appearance of the minions of this evil god in the legend of the Kangju people!" ”
As for the other members of the mission, their legs trembled with fright, and they couldn't even walk.
It was Liu Jin, who also frowned slightly, and asked Zhang Yue: "Zhang Qing, why is this?" ”
"That's the chim......ney," Zhang Yue said with a smile, "The principle is similar to the smoke pipe in the village people's homes, which is used to emit smoke ......."
"Why is it so huge?" Liu Jin didn't quite understand.
He had seen the shaft furnace smoke guide pipe in Shaofu, it was not big, and it was not so high!
"For the sake of coking...... Zhang Yue stared at these huge chimneys, and said slowly: "Your Highness doesn't know, if you want to make a hundred steels, you must use coke ......"
"In order to coke, these chimneys had to be built to exhaust the smoke......"
There's no way around it!
If these chimneys were not built, the smoke from the coking could fill the city.
"Coking?" Liu Jin was puzzled.
"Your Highness, this is a means developed based on the technology of people burning charcoal in the past......," Zhang Yue patiently explained: "The technical principle is just like the past ghost people burned charcoal, with high-temperature carbonization fuel, to obtain coking carbon ...... that can be used for metallurgy."
"And this coking is the coking of peat, a fuel, at high temperature in a closed combustion chamber......"
"Oh......" Liu Jin doesn't understand much about technical things.
But since it was Zhang Yue who said it, it must be right.
Recently, Liu Jin has been studying and studying the story of the late Emperor Taizong, and has gained a lot of inspiration from it.
One of them, and the one that convinces him the most, is that politicians don't need to know everything.
All you need to do is appoint a minister who understands to do things, and give support and help.
Just like Taizong, he actually doesn't understand mathematics or economics.
But he simply delegated power to Zhang Cang, and entrusted the revision and formulation of policies and laws with full authority.
He only held the key power, so the world was ruled and the national strength quickly became stronger.
Zhang Yue looked at the huge chimneys, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
Others don't know, doesn't he know yet?
The emergence of the coking industry means that the modern metallurgical industry is budding.
Its potential is even more powerful than the steam engine in this era!
Because, even if the steam engine can be manufactured, there is not enough steel, but the coking industry is different, its scale is directly related to steel production.
Of course, the current coking industry has only just stepped out of one foot and entered this new industrial field.
As they spoke, the group entered the interior from the east gate of the workshop garden.
As soon as you enter the workshop, the whole world is completely different from the outside world.
It is even more different from what Liu Jin saw at the beginning.
Workshops stand on both sides of the road, stretching forward for thousands of steps.
The sound of tinkling hammers is endless.
The nullah built by the government to support the workshop is filled with turbid and foul-smelling sewage.
Countless iron tools were piled up in front of one workshop after another, and the shirtless young workers, under the urging of the overseers, hurriedly stacked these products neatly.
What surprised Liu Jin even more was that on both sides of the road in the workshop, horse-drawn carriages came and went.
These carriages were unlike any carriage Liu Jin had ever seen.
It has four wheels, and the body of the car is far more than any civilian carriage that Liu Jin has ever seen, and it is almost about to catch up with the Wugang car of the Han army.
The wide body gives it a greater cargo capacity and load capacity.
So, this kind of carriage requires two pull-back horses to pull.
What's even more strange is that these carriages can turn flexibly and move freely in this crowded and narrow workshop garden.
Zhang Qing ...... What are these carriages? Liu Jin looked at these vehicles and asked softly.
"Oh......" Zhang Yue said respectfully: "Your Highness, this is a truck made by the ministers, specially used to transfer materials and parts in the workshop garden......"
"I see...... Liu Jin nodded, since it was Zhang Qing who did it, then there is nothing to be surprised about.
"Your Highness, please ...... here" Zhang Yue arched his hand and said: "Now the affairs in the workshop garden are all presided over by the workshop Ling Ding Xuan......
"Your Highness wants to know the details, you have to find Ding Jun to lead the way!"
"Hmmm......"
Go straight forward for 500 steps, and the workshop office in the center of the workshop garden is in front of you.
And Ding Zhuan, who had already received the news, took all the officials of the workshop department and lined up neatly to greet him.
Along with them were most of the workshop owners in the entire workshop garden.
Seeing Liu Jin and his entourage appear, Ding Chu immediately led people forward and bowed respectfully: "The ministers slowly welcome His Royal Highness and the servants...... And all of you! ”
Others followed, saluting.
And those workshop owners are even more flattering and rushing forward.
"Please ......"
"Officials are exempt from courtesy......"
Liu Jin stepped forward with a smile and helped them up one by one.
Since the court went to the palace to observe, no matter whether Liu Jin was willing or unwilling, he passively assumed part of the responsibility of the prince of the country.
In the eyes of the majority of military nobles, there is no doubt that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is their hope.
As for the crown prince?
There is no hope for a long time!
Even the generals who are most optimistic about the crown prince are only counting on this highness not to make trouble in the future and not to disrupt the established policy.
After receiving so many expectations and hopes, Liu Jin has passively developed in the direction of people's hopes.
Not to mention, in the past 20 days or so, every day, the general has sent his children to greet him.
Although they usually only saw him, bowed their heads again, and then took their leave, without saying anything.
However, the gathering of nobles from all over the world still made him grow up, gradually fade away from immaturity, and evolve in the direction of the king.
Don't look at him now, he seems to be amiable, there is no shelf.
But between gestures and words, there is already a prestige.
Therefore, although it was only a contact, the officials and merchants in the entire workshop park had already been suppressed by him.
Many people said in their hearts: "Virtuous grandson! ”
There is no way, the bottom line of the world's requirements for the country's prince has been falling again and again!
In particular, after the performances of Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, and Liu Ju, the crown prince, in public opinion, everyone's requirements for the prince are already only qualified, and they dare not pick the fat and the thin.
Therefore, Liu Jin is lucky.
As long as he shows a level of ability and open-mindedness, he will have the dedication and allegiance of people.
At this moment, he seems to have the aura of a king, and has a special function that makes people bow their heads!
Every time he lifted someone, that person must be moistened with tears, looking flattered and lucky, and it seems that it doesn't seem to be a fake, he is really moved and feels very lucky.
Zhang Yue looked at it from the side, and it hurt a little.
I can only blame the reincarnation technique for not being good, and I couldn't be born in heaven!
This is unenviable.
When Liu Jin helped up the last workshop owner, the workshop owner even worshipped with tears in his eyes: "How can the villain be so virtuous that he should be courteous to His Royal Highness?" Only by breaking your bones can you repay Your Highness's kindness in case of emergency......"
At this moment, even the mud that came with him was hot-eyed, and he looked envious, jealous and hateful.
In Wusun, how can there be such loyal ministers?
He, the little Kunmo, is also in his own tribe, and he can be respected by those little kings, little queens and nobles.
However, to say that anyone can respect, worship and allegiance like these Han Dynasty people today is to dream.
In fact, the power he can control is only 30,000 descendants of his headquarters.
The remaining 50,000 people belong to the kind of marginal people who can wave their flags and shout, and they can be spared if they charge into battle.
Just waving the flag and shouting this kind of thing, all by co-opting and buying.
His uncle Weng Guimi is the same, what he can control is the headquarters, and what else is waiting is to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement.
Relatively speaking, the Huns had stronger control, but not as much as that.
In front of the Lan clan, the Subu clan and other big clans, they will listen to the good ones, and the bad ones will be used as grass to wipe their buttocks.
"No wonder the Huns also want to learn from the Han Dynasty, and also let their nobles read the poetry and books of the Han Dynasty......" Nimi secretly thought in his heart: "The truth of the Han Dynasty is really the truth!" ”
"If people don't know loyalty and filial piety, they have no conscience, and if they don't understand the difference between kings and ministers, they are beasts and beasts......"
"Wusun also has to know loyalty, filial piety and shame!"
"You have to learn the teachings of the saints, too......"
In the past 20 days in Chang'an, with his excellent learning ability, Nimi can not only understand most of the daily language of the Han Dynasty, but also communicate simply, and most importantly, he can even recognize 100 Chinese characters!
This is simply a terrifying learning ability, even the official assigned by Da Honglu to teach him to study, he has to solemnly admit: "It's a pity for your envoy, if you were born in China, you may be a gentleman......
And the Crown Prince of Dian and the Prince of Yelang also said: "It's a pity that your envoy was born in Yidi...... But now that I have woken up, admired Wang Hua, and bathed in the grace of the Son of Heaven, it is not too late......"
At first, when Nimi heard these words, she rejected in her heart.
But now, he found that it seemed that there was some truth in what these people said.
Did you really give birth to the wrong place?
Just like the crown prince of Yelang said: "I'd rather be a husband for China than a king for Rongdi!" ”
"The Chinese gentleman is far superior to the lord of Yidi!"
