"This is a steel machine personally supervised by His Majesty, eating coal and drinking water, called a steam engine, this steam engine can be used as 20 horsepower."

"Horsepower?" Li Dingguo didn't know why.

"Your Majesty has determined that the strength can be used as a strong horse pulling a cart for 1 horsepower."

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was fascinated by the steam engine spitting soot: "Such a machine can be 20 strong horses?" It's incredible, isn't it? ”

"Yes, this is the reason why the machine can tow 8 carriages, if you drag goods, you can drag more than 100 stones, if the speed is slower, more than 200 stones. At present, you only have a short section of the wharf to the Fuming Palace with a steam engine to pull the car, if all the cars are replaced with this machine, and the tracks are paved to various places, the Ming Dynasty will be invincible in the world. ”

However, this is just the appearance that Wang Qinian saw, or it was just ambition. If the current horse is replaced with a steam engine, not to mention the high and frightening failure rate and manufacturing and maintenance costs, if you open it a few more times, the iron-clad wood-clad track will have to disintegrate! Only by replacing the tracks and wheels made of steel can the train run normally without crushing the track and sinking into the foundation.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang had to make great efforts to improve the steam engine and breed better horses. Of course, before the advent of the internal combustion engine, there was still a place for pulling horses away from the railroad tracks.

Just when Li Dingguo was amazed by the power of the steam engine, Zhu Youlang was almost crazy with joy. Because, the rubber problem he was thinking about finally had an eyebrow! The Portuguese came back this time and brought three rubber saplings.

"In addition to the rubber, the Yi man also said that he brought a letter from the governor of Goa, which has been translated into Chinese by Honglu Temple."

"Well, bring it up."

"Foreign Minister Prancy tore up his words: Shocked the Ming Emperor to inquire about the business and affairs of the small state, and the minister was sincere and afraid to kowtow to ......" Zhu Youlang read half of it, and the translation logic of the Ming Dynasty's selectivity and even forcibly changing the style of painting in history has not changed. The egalitarian tone that people obviously use, as a result, no matter who they are, can be distorted into a tributary system.

"Don't think that if I can't read Portuguese, I can fool me casually! Taixi is a Chinese vassal of China, where will it speak in this context. Reflip! ”

Throwing this big flicker aside, Zhu Youlang said: "Find a place where the wind is light, plant the sapling, this sapling grows, just plant it a few more times, according to the density of about thirty-five per acre." The reason why Zhu Youlang knows these is because he likes to watch the crossing before the crossing, and the content that the industrial party can't avoid is rubber!

Yunnan was regained and moved south, naturally, the scholars who seek to be officials will come to Ava, most of these people are talented or lifted, and some have been tested for a long time, but they can't get a talented person---- the emperor is in a hurry to employ people at this time, or many record a few to record themselves?

No wonder they think so! After all, this kind of thing has actually happened in history. I once opened Enke in Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty--- even if you scold people on the paper, it will be considered admission, to put it bluntly, it is to buy people's hearts!

As a result, more and more scholars took the coils, got into carriages, trains, or boats and went south, gradually filling up the inns, and some sharp-eyed merchants began to buy the temples that had been destroyed by the war, and cleaned them up and used them as inns, and made a small fortune.

But after waiting for almost half a year, I couldn't wait for the arrival of the legendary "Enke", and I had only heard of what "subject exams", but I asked carefully, this is not a test of the four books and five classics, isn't it a miscellaneous way? What reading seed is willing to deign to be a lowly servant?

Time passed. With nothing to do, they began to wander around, inquiring about news, one by one, they were sour, and gradually, some good deeds began to block the cabinet yamen by virtue of their fame. I heard that most of the officials in the line have never gone to school, and they don't pay attention to it at all--- the eyesight of these people is not as good as the surrendered officials who recognize Niu Jinxing as a teacher: Why, you Bai Ding still dare to stop Master Ben? Why don't you go to the ceremony?

"Get out! There's still no end, you Yunnan Yankees, you want to be an official to study, the imperial court arranges an exam every three months, you don't go, you come over to ask for an official, what do you dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival! A Burmese who had taken the exam twice to become a clerk said in stiff Chinese. Being able to change his fate through the exam greatly strengthened his loyalty to the system.

"Hey! I haven't heard it yet, you are not even a Han Chinese, and a barbarian deserves to sit in this place as a small official? You barbarians should be honest and shrink in the ravines and ravines to be local officials, and as for you, you should be a baby! "Wazi means slave, and the Tusi in Yunnan and other places are actually still practicing slavery.

"My baby***!" When the Burmese officials heard the word baby, they angrily scolded the country.

"It's really not a Sven person, I can't read, I can only scold people, Your Majesty is really deceived by traitors. Yes...... I—" Liu Juren was carried out by two soldiers and struggled to throw him out of the door.

This Liu Juren became a lifter, ate and dedicated, the natural family has a great cause, Ava is expensive, every person is entangled tightly, Liu Juren has to be generous, it is because of his boldness, he gradually surrounded a circle of scholars.

"Hey!" Liu Juren was discouraged, sighed and returned to the next place, the scholars he met were drinking tea and bored, and when they saw Liu Juren coming back, they surrounded him: "Liu Juren, what have you heard?"

"Villain, villain in charge!" Liu Juren waved his hand and said, "I want to go to the cabinet to find out, no matter what, although we don't have an official status, how many people can be famous in the imperial court now?" However, there was a local official on duty there, and without saying anything, he let the military man throw me outside, which is really insulting! ”

"Humph!"

"It's really good to see the king of Hades, the little ghost is difficult!" The scholars were not only angry for him, but also sad for themselves. Even Liu Juren was treated like this, so what are these people?

No, something has to be done!

Just when everyone was excited, tapping their fingers on the wooden table, a person in the crowd stood up and said, "I wonder if you know the tombstones of the five people?"

"What happened during the Apocalypse, Chen Sesame rotted the grain."

"Yes, it's a big deal, these five people, we're willing to be the first! Five white dings are still like this when they die, not to mention our reading seeds? ”

These people had never seen blood, and felt that the court would always be on their side, so they packed up their things and stood up, poured out of the inn door and called friends all the way.

"Let's go! Let the cabinet give us an explanation! "Perhaps because of the fact that the sparrow is small and has all the necessary organs, there are many departments that can deal directly with the cabinet, so they do not feel that the cabinet is unattainable. However, it seems that the current cabinet is just a courtyard next to the Restoration Palace.
