Chapter 288 Steam Engine
(ps: I read the subscription today, and found that the chapter with the yellow robe added to the body is the most subscribed, it turns out that everyone wants to see Zhu Hongsan called the emperor, everyone can rest assured, it will be called the emperor soon, and there will be more than 20 chapters.) After becoming the emperor, I will work with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I hope you will subscribe more! )
The father of the little fat man is Shen Tong, a serious official in Nanhai County, but Zhu Hongsan was given a rank to all the officials in Guangzhou and Zhaoqing during the institutional reform last year. You must know that although the household secretary office is not in the stream, it is also a figure in a county, equivalent to the county finance bureau and civil affairs bureau director in later generations.
Shen Tong was in a very happy mood today, the new Li County Commander heard that he was also a small official in the past, and he was very polite to these booksellers. In addition, at the beginning of the year, the prison had an order, and in the future, the children of small officials will take the right path of the imperial examination, which is too important. Shen Tong studied very well when he was a child, and Mr. said that if he wasn't from a Xu official's background, he could have been admitted to the exam. It's a pity that there is no way, the officials of the Shen family in the past dynasties have no way to take the imperial examination. Now, the prison country Shengming, his family can finally take the imperial examination, although he is old, but his two sons must pay close attention to education, and I hope that I can be the father of a master of Jinshi in my lifetime.
When Shen Tong was obsessed, the servants of the family came to the county office to look for him, saying that the young master had fallen into the dung pit. Shen Tong was shocked, this son is all his hope, what if he falls stupid?
Shen Tong hurriedly took leave with his master, and went to see his son under the leadership of his family. Fortunately, my son is not in danger of life, but he swallowed a lot of dung soup, and he vomited all the bile just now, and it looks like he has to rest at home for half a month.
Shen Tong was very annoyed when he saw his son die, "You waste, how can you fall off the toilet?" ”
The little fat man Shen Lin's face turned waxy yellow now, and when he heard his father scolding him, he hurriedly said: "Dad, no, my son is so stupid, it was the two boys who just came, and they attacked me when my son was out of courtesy, and my son couldn't avoid it, so he fell into the dung pit." ”
"Oh? Is there anyone else in the academy who dares to bully you? What's his name? ”
"Two guys, the big one is called Zhu Hai, and the small one is called Zhu Jiang!"
Shen Tong has been in the yamen for more than 20 years, and knows that Nanhai County is different from other counties, and Nanhai County is attached to Guo Provincial City. As the saying goes, three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng. Guangzhou is full of dignitaries, the governor's yamen in the city, the political secretary's yamen, the judge's secretary and the political yamen, and the Guangzhou government yamen, none of which can be provoked by themselves. He is a lowly-level official, only to be careful everywhere, and nod his head when he sees everyone, otherwise he doesn't know how many times he will die.
Shen Tong was about to ask for details, when a fat woman rushed in outside the door, who was Shen Tong's eldest wife. Shen Lin is the eldest wife of this eldest wife.
"Oh, my sweetheart, what's wrong with you? What's this complexion? ”
Seeing that his mother came to Shen Lin, her face was also full of grievances: "Mother, the child is being bullied in the school!" ”
When the woman heard that her son was being bullied, she turned around and scolded Shen Tong: "Shen Tong, you are a wreck, your son is being bullied, you still don't go to be angry for him, what are you doing standing here?" ”
Shen Tong can't help it, his wife's family is very unusual. In the past, my father-in-law was the secretary of the torture room in Panyu County, and he and his family were also world friends, so his father set a family affair for himself. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother didn't know how to catch the path of Zhang Bingwen, the prosecutor, and was transferred to the Yamen of the prosecutor as the chief arrester, which was at the same level as the provincial criminal police captain in later generations. In this way, he has no status at home.
Now that his wife is talking, Shen Tong doesn't dare to talk back, so he can only pull his family out to ask about the situation.
"What the hell is going on with the young master?"
"Master, there are three new children in their school, and they are the ones who did it!"
"Is it a local?"
"The big black guy who came with them is not a local, and he has a Huguang accent."
Shen Tong was stunned, but he knew that the king of Chu had come from Huguang before, and now the people of Huguang in the city of Guangzhou are very popular. But I didn't dare to disobey my wife's orders, so I had to take my family to the school to see what was going on.
Coming to the alley of the school, Shen Tong found Zhu Bao through the guidance of his family.
"This little brother, are you Zhu Hai's family?"
Zhu Bao looked at Shen Tong and said, "Yes, may I ask who you are?" ”
"I'm the father of the child I just carried."
Hearing Shen Tong say this, Zhu Bao knew that it was the parents who had come to them. When Zhu Bao came out, Zhu Hongsan had an order not to reveal his identity, and Zhu Bao was afraid that something would happen, so he didn't bring the token of the Chu Palace, but brought a token of Jinyiwei.
Zhu Bao's current title is hereditary Jinyi Wei Qianhu, which is the title that Zhu Hongsan gave his eldest brother Zhu Hongyi. Because Zhu Hongyi's eldest son Zhao Hu is surnamed Zhao, the title falls on Zhu Bao's body.
Zhu Bao took out the ivory waist card of the brocade cloth Wei Qianhu and showed it to Shen Tong.
Shen Tong fixed his eyes and saw that an ivory waist card was engraved with "Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi" on the front and "Hereditary Thousand Households Vermilion Leopard" on the back.
Shen Tong was scared to death after reading it, this is the thousand households of Jinyiwei in front of him, Shen Tong has seen that the biggest official of Jinyiwei is just a small flag, and there are five people and six people in front of Shen Tong, and the big black man in front of him is a thousand households, and at the same time, this thousand households is still the guard of those children. The identity of that child is either rich or noble, and he is offended by himself.
Shen Tong hurriedly nodded and said, "It's all Lord Qianhu, it's okay!" It's okay! "I'm leaving.
Zhu Bao said in the back: "Wait a minute, my master said that adults should not be involved in the affairs between children." ”
Shen Tong nodded again and again, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the alley, Jinyiwei is not a good stubble, how far away and how far away, it seems that he will find another school for Shen Lin when he goes back.
No matter how Shentong replied to his wife when he went back, the three Zhu Hai brothers had a happy day.
After returning to the palace of the king of Chu, Zhu Bao told Zhu Hongsan about the matter.
Zhu Hongsan didn't go to his heart, a little official, in Zhu Hongsan's eyes, he was really an ant-like character, and now Zhu Hongsan had a headache about the steam engine.
In the afternoon, Zhu Hongsan spent an afternoon in the factory, which was the matter of this steam engine.
The steam engine has now been produced, and of course there are many advantages, the power is high, and one steam engine can be compared to the power of ten waterwheels. In addition, it is not limited by the terrain, in the past, the factory had to be located by the river in order to power the power, and there was also a certain depth of river water to ensure the operation of the waterwheel. Now with the steam engine, factories can be opened everywhere. There is also the fact that fuel is not restricted, anything can be done, coal, wood can be, it is really not feasible to straw.
There are many advantages, but there is only one disadvantage, bulky. A steam engine costs more than 50 tons, and basically cannot be moved after installation. Zhu Hongsan also knew that there was no way, this was limited by the craftsmanship of this era. The strength of the steel is not enough, in order to ensure sufficient air pressure, but also to ensure safety, only the thickness of the thickened cylinder. The steel plate of the cylinder is thickened to five layers, so that continuous operation can be guaranteed for one day. In this way, it is necessary to overhaul every three days to replace the unqualified parts, otherwise the safety cannot be guaranteed.
Zhu Hongsan knew that if the five-meter-tall big guy in front of him exploded, it would not be a matter of killing one or two people, and more than 100 people in the whole workshop would not survive, so Zhu Hongsan told Tie Niu that he must ensure safety and don't forget to overhaul it.
In this way, the steam engine was officially put into production, and the new power was many times more powerful than the previous water power, and Zhu Hongsan estimated that if all his factories were replaced with new power, the production efficiency would be increased by half. The corresponding cost of weapon production can also be greatly reduced, about 30%. This is still calculated on the current factory, and there are no geographical restrictions on steam engines, so that they can be produced in mountainous areas, and new factories can be opened, so that the problem of insufficient production of weapons can be greatly alleviated.
However, Zhu Hongsan still did not understand enough about the power of the steam engine, and with the steam engine, the productivity and production relations of Zhu Hongsan Group finally matched. All kinds of mines do not need to be excavated by manpower, and the silk reeling factory does not need to reel silk by manpower, which saves a lot of manpower and reduces the cost again.
However, Zhu Hongsan was still dissatisfied with the steam engine, because it was too heavy to be loaded on a warship. The steam warship is what Zhu Hongsan wants, and now it seems that he will have to wait.
In the afternoon, Zhu Hongsan gave more than a dozen orders in a row, and this time he had a new motivation, and he could completely let go of his hands and feet. Zhu Hongsan decided to set up three development zones in Shunde County, Guangzhou, Gaoyao County, Zhaoqing Prefecture, and Qiongshan County, Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Zhaoqing Mansion, which is more than 200 miles away from Guangzhou, had no idea that they would undergo earth-shaking changes in a few months. Now Chen Zilong, the prefect of Zhaoqing, is welcoming the newcomer Tong Tuchang.
Tong Tuchang was very satisfied with his job transfer, and Zhaoqing was one of the four richest prefectures in Guangdong. Although Qiongzhou, where he used to work, was also very good, as a Qiongzhou magistrate, he never spent a day in Fucheng. Tong Tuchang was also very depressed, he was obviously a pusher and was in charge of judicial work, why did the King of Chu have to go to Changhua to manage the iron mine by himself. Changhua Iron Mine now has nearly 100,000 people, which looks good, and 100,000 people are under the management of Tong Tuchang, but who knows who will do it. Changhua is located inland, there is nothing, the living environment is bad, there are mosquitoes everywhere, and you can bite a few bags on your butt when you go to the toilet.
Zhaoqing is a good place, although the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang is here, but now the Governor of Liangguang is vacant, and there are basically no people in the Yamen. In Zhaoqing Mansion, the prefect Chen Zilong is the boss, and he Tong Tuchang is the second.
The boss Chen Zilong sat opposite Tong Tuchang, and today it was several heads of the prefect's yamen who welcomed Tong Tuchang's new official to take office.
Attending the welcome banquet today were Chen Zilong, the prefect, Tong Tuchang, He Shen, the general judge, Ha Ming, and Chen Zhongwen, the prefect of Guo Gaoyao County.
