The steam engine, one of the main symbols of mankind's entry into the industrial revolution, Zhu Pingjin will not be unaware of its significance.

But if it is said that with a steam engine, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will be automatically killed, and Zhu Pingjin will automatically be allowed to ascend to the top of power, and Zhu Pingjin, who is young and old-fashioned in politics, will not be so naïve.

At least for the time being, the biggest role of the steam engine is to act as the source power of vehicles, ships, industrial machinery and agricultural machinery.

In order to get a steam engine as soon as possible, Zhu Pingjin personally took the lead and made a three-pound cheek drum and round blower with two half-cut pipes and two chopsticks wrapped around the cloth head with the best and most unique local method cottage model that Chinese is best at......

"You're so good?!" Zhu Pingjin was taken aback.

This is in the Ming Dynasty, not in the 21st century!

"What's awesome? It's so simple! ”

Luo Yuhong shook her head disdainfully and shook the golden phoenix on her head.

"It's good that this girl got her driver's license three years before you and drove a car for three years before you. Be the first to rear-end collision on the highway and be the first to watch the fourth son overhaul the engine and transmission...... My car is a longitudinal V-shaped twelve-cylinder mechanical turbo twin-supercharged engine electromagnetic suspension, unlike your car, the handbrake also has a handlebar! Of course, that's not your fault, pretending has become your instinct......"

At this time, Zhu Pingjin no longer cared about fighting with his wife. He anxiously reminded:

"Cylinders and boilers must be strong! There is no safety valve, no pressure gauge, and once the steam overpressure explodes, it is a big bomb! ”

Zhu Pingjin was in a hurry, that was true.

But he didn't expect Luo Yuhong to just smile easily:

"There are no safety valves and pressure gauges for the time being. Not to mention steam, even if you fill up gunpowder and explode, you are not afraid......

An Wensi and Wang Gongzheng used two newly cast fifteen-pound copper cannons, which were specially approved by this girl......

One cannon is truncated to make a cylinder, and the other cannon is sealed to make a boiler. The boiler is welded with a copper plate at the muzzle of the gun, and then poured copper water to seal it. The boiler is heated, and the muzzle of the gun is pointed at the sky, for safety. But the steam engine could not have exploded, because the cylinders were swaying and expelling steam at all times......

In order to draw air and irrigate water, several pipes were also used, all of which were specially approved by this girl.

Anvens hopes to exchange the steam engine for the freedom of Lis, but it can't be seen that they are still good friends......"

"What about the spool valve that switches the air intake? It's the chopsticks that are wrapped around the cloth and slide back and forth over the small holes of the barrel...... How does Avans adjust the timing of a valve? Is it a belt or a chain? ”

Zhu Pingjin is still concerned with the mechanical structure of the steam engine. Luo Yuhong shook her head blankly, and pursed her lips disdainfully.

"Timing? I don't understand what you're saying!

You men play with machinery, just like fascinated. A simple tourbillon on the watch, holding a magnifying glass for hours without feeling eye pain. Married for so long, when have you ever seen me with a magnifying glass......

An Wensi picked up an iron rice ball and blocked the air intake drilled at the end of the gun. The piston goes up to the top, and the protrusion on the top of the piston ...... It's just a thick iron nail...... Then the iron soup dome was opened to inhale; The piston goes down to the low end, and the piston exposes the small hole drilled in the side of the barrel to exhaust. Naturally, there is a connecting rod crank under the piston, and Avens even saves the crank, and the wire connecting rod is directly covered with a large flywheel, which is the one used on their lathe......"

"Then your steam engine is a single-acting one, which is different from the double-acting one I designed. I've designed for more efficiency and more power......"

"Is it still a rancid porridge to call Hanako? You said that now is the solution to the problem of whether there is any! ”

"Good! Good! Wife, you're right! ”

Zhu Pingjin apologized again and again: "How did the piston do it?" Is the cylinder horizontal or vertical? ”

"I said, why are you a little stupid today, like five hundred waste? The barrel is used as a cylinder, and the piston inside is naturally a pine stock. What does it matter if a cylinder is horizontal or vertical? I ask you, is the engine of the car horizontal or vertical? ”

Zhu Pingjin was still immersed in the assumption of the specific structure of the steam engine, and did not realize how his wife knew about the five hundred wastes.

"That's a vertical single-cylinder machine! No, I must see it for myself! This time, An Wensi and Wang Gongzheng have made a great contribution! They may not know what they have made, thinking that it is another child's toy of the prince and Miss Luo......

The steam engine, that's POWER! It is the key to the era of industrialization! ”

"But my generator failed!" Compared with Zhu Pingjian's incomparable excitement, Luo Yuhong's face was full of frustration.

"You can get lead-acid batteries first! We did experiments in high school, and even I, a liberal arts student, had some impressions. Now Hou Dong burns a lot of sulfuric acid, lead plates and copper plates, and the box is a urine tank, and the ceramics are not afraid of corrosion...... Let others do it, and you will stand far away and just give directions...... If you are disfigured, you can't get married! ”

If you are disfigured, you can't get married? Is it a concern or a threat?

Luo Yuhong felt a sigh in her heart, but she still pretended to be very moved, and agreed to come down.

Gu Jiang is also an expert in phonology. He can report later, and I'll ask him to design a Morse code for you first. This way your battery can be used to make a difference. The horses will love you and hate you. You love you to death because they no longer fly on all fours, foaming at the mouth, to deliver letters; I hate you because you let them turn their posts and come to the battlefield where the artillery is flocking......"

"Who is Gu Jiang, and who does he report to?"

"It's the world's genius that Wu Jishan released from prison. I asked him to work as a freelance reporter for the Renaissance newspaper. I don't sit on duty, I don't point to it, and the articles I write go straight to the heavens, which is equivalent to the internal reference of Xinhua News Agency in our previous life.

Why?

Because I suspect that he is Gu Yanwu, one of the three great talents in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties!

Gu Yanwu is very interested in phonology!

Remember? How did I write those neat love poems to you in college? How did it become popular on campus? Because someone Zhu read Gu Yanwu's "Five Books of Music"! ”

Zhu Pingjin was triumphant, but Luo Yuhong hated itchy.

What you did back then was nothing more than a means to publicly declare that you have the right to marry and deprive me of my right to choose freely in marriage!

It's a pity that this girl was too innocent back then, and she was deceived by these low-cost primary methods, and she didn't see clearly that you were a wolf in sheep's clothing!

This shows that your nature is not only bitter and mean, but also needs to be ruthless and shameless!

Luo Yuhong was silently ruthless in her heart, and quietly turned the topic to Gu Jiang.

"What a genius in the world, it turned out to be the world's strange ugliness! Listening to Xiaohong, he scared all the palace maids he saw on the road into tears! ”

"Don't judge people by their appearance! This son of the world never judges people by their appearance! ”

"Is this girl ugly? Could it be that this girl marrying you has lowered your son's qualifications? ”

"That's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean!"

"Contemptible means...... I, shameless toad, have married you, a proud swan. ”

"That's pretty much it!"

"What is almost? That's too much! ”

Zhu Pingjin suddenly stood up and criticized his wife loudly: "You are so beautiful and moving today, how can you not take a selfie!" Without a selfie that will be handed down to future generations, how can you retain your eternal beauty? This gift about selfies is carefully tailored for your wife by your husband and me......"

"Really?" Luo Yuhong, who was dressed in fashionable gold and jade, was overjoyed, and seemed to have more stars in her eyes than the sky.

"Someone!" Zhu Pingjin was already greeting him.

Under the reflection of a palace lamp, a handsome pot with affection on the eyebrows of Yushu Linfeng appeared in the middle of the halo.

"Husband!"

Luo Yuhong's nature was completely exposed, and she suddenly threw herself into Zhu Pingjin's arms, uncontrollable with excitement.

"Hello open forehead, give me a handsome pot! It's also well, driving in the Ming Dynasty, this girl doesn't have to care about the traffic police and the camera at all......"

"Phew! I can't help but want to split my legs! My wife and car are not borrowed, this is my bottom line!

This is Lu Qian, the eldest son of Lu Daqi, the current governor of Gansu in Suining County, this province (Note 1). The number one Danqing saint in Shu, your husband specially invited me to take a selfie for you and me!

Remember, this person is married and has a baby, don't be a third party who destroys the happiness of other people's families!

Don't think that you can do whatever you want in Daming, according to the laws of Daming, adultery and cheating will be soaked in the pig cage! ”

"People just want to rub oil......

……

The long-legged Lu Qian is really handsome, so handsome that Zhu is ashamed of himself, so handsome that Zhu is secretly vigilant, and handsome makes Zhu someone's man instinctively stimulated.

Lu Qian used a large wooden board to paint, and after carving, he could print newspapers. Because the hardwood board does not absorb ink, he did not use the method of blending, but used a thin white brush.

Under the slowly moving brushstrokes, Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong are full of pink fantasies in ancient Chinese society.

"Mr. Lu, what's the name of this painting?" Zhu Pingjin asked politely.

Lu Qian's answer was polite: "I haven't named it yet." The students want to name it after 'Shu Shizi and his wife', but I don't know what Shizi and Miss Luo think? ”

"Couple have fun, okay!" Luo Yuhong actually understood, and she had already clapped her hands and shouted.

"What's good!"

Zhu Pingjin's face sank, revealing a look of infinite sadness.

"The people of the world do not know how many people are suffering. Our feudal clans and relatives are worried about the world first, and happy after the world! ”

"The students are taught!" Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then bowed deeply.

"Is that good?" Zhu Pingjin's finger pointed to the two empty bowls on the stone table and said: "It's called 'Shu Shizi and his wife eating porridge to help the poor'!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Cao Sanbao, who was holding a woodblock print for everyone to watch, had already reacted, and hurriedly added oil and vinegar to the master as proof: "Miss Shizi Luo ordered a total of two bowls of white porridge. The slave said that how to eat white porridge, it is better to add some lotus leaves and salted eggs. But in order to save two silver taels, the prince is not allowed! ”

Lu Qian was very interested: "The student removed the empty dishes on the table, and then vaguely added a pair of beggars eating steamed buns in the blank space in the corner of the painting!" Painting method: Far trees have no branches, far people have no eyes. This pair of grandchildren, students should be drawn with a cane......"

"It's up to you, sir. It's not that this son is famous, but I don't hide it: this son and Miss Luo's porridge and side dishes tonight are a few vegetarian dishes. This plate of fried shredded potatoes was ordered by Ben Shizi himself. Why? For its low price! ”

"Huh?" Lu Qian was shocked.

Many people have died eating potatoes, don't the sons of the world know it?

Don't these eunuchs and guards around them know if they don't know?

Isn't the owner of this restaurant afraid?

This time when I returned to my hometown, my father asked me to secretly observe the situation in Shuzhong so that I could play the imperial court. Now the prince and his wife are in front of them, one is dressed in cloth and the other is dressed in brocade, comparing the two and two, contrasting with each other. Such an interesting couple, could it be that the retribution starts with a plate of cheap and poisonous shredded potatoes?

……

Bupoon's light carriage quietly departed, escorted by many cavalry.

To Cao Sanbao's surprise, the carriage was not going to the Shu Palace, but to Furen Hall. Cao Sanbao and the father-in-law of the district were ordered to explain a few words to Mrs. Feng, so they finally left the courtyard. When Mrs. Feng heard Cao's warning, she was so frightened that she trembled; When he learned of the praise of the prince, he was so happy that his eyebrows danced. In the end, this Mrs. Feng still did not forget Mr. Sun and Qingniang, and asked Father-in-law Cao and Father-in-law District to help her bring a word.

What words? Ask Mr. Sun to find her granddaughter a job that is glamorous and not tiring, with a high salary and no sweating.

"Godfather, will you pass a message to that mother-in-law?" On the way back to the palace, Ouba, who was carrying a bag of potatoes, asked Cao Sanbaodao.

"Ren Er, you grew up in the Shu Palace, and you know the rules inside." Cao Sanbao called Ou Ba's real name.

"Eunuchs are not allowed to communicate with foreign ministers privately." Ouba replied with a bowed head.

"Mr. Sun is not as good as he was back then. If he still remembered the old neighborhood, he would have sent someone to take a look. It's not our turn to speak. ”

"Yes, godfather."

"The prince has a decree to give you the name Cao Siben, which is officially assigned to our family's name."

"Huh?" Ouba was first surprised, then delighted. With Cao Sanbao, the great companion of the prince and the Zhengcheng of the Shu Palace, his future and future are guaranteed.

"Son, see godfather!"

Cao Sanbao impatiently interrupted the district.

"In front of our family, don't come to the void! Follow our family, you still don't know if it's a curse or a blessing!

Remember with your heart, here in the world, in Miss Luo, no matter what you see or hear, it will all rot in your stomach! Miss Luo has a happy mouth and a good heart, but the prince of the world is ...... Wang Sizhong, who was far away, didn't say anything. After Li Sixian was released, Zhang Wei was so favored, and he also had the merit of Bolt Mountain to protect the master. Just because he has a fast mouth and long ears, the prince folded his leg when he returned to Baoning Mansion, and he is still lame! ”

"But the prince of the world is ...... to you That great grace is not comparable to Lao Cao's father-in-law! ”

That grace naturally refers to the fact that the prince gave Duan Renxuan, the director of the Communications Bureau, to Cao Sanbao to inherit the incense.

The royal family likes to use eunuchs, in addition to the fact that eunuchs have no roots and will not defile the court, there is also an economic reason.

Because the eunuchs had no queen, no matter how much property they had in front of them, they would eventually return to the royal family. But if the eunuchs had healthy heirs who could have children, then the property they had given away would not come back. Therefore, the royal families of all dynasties rarely gave queens to eunuchs. The prince gave Duan Renxuan, the director of the Communications Bureau, and Cao Sanbao to inherit the incense, saying that it was a great grace.

However, I don't know what point of Quba's words touched Cao Sanbao, and he quietly sobbed on the horse.

How did Ou Ba know that Cao Sanbao had a big heart in his heart!

This is the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival. It's been 10 months since July last year.

Note 1: Lu Qian, Chongzhen was twenty-one years old in the fifteenth year. Shi Zai: He left home for Beijing in the autumn of that year, and his daughter was five months old. In the spring of the second year, the Ming Dynasty fell in the third year, and since then, he has not been able to make a living by selling paintings. Not many of his paintings have been preserved to this day, and there is an authentic collection in the Sichuan Provincial Museum. In his paintings, the characters are all bearded and haired, which shows the integrity of the Ming relics.
