In the next few days, Su Baiyi took time to gather Chu Lun and the people he selected together, took out a few identical drawings, taught them to read and recognize drawings, and then better use the drawings.

After all the seventy people understood the drawings, they purchased seventy copies from the system in one go, one drawing for each person, a team of ten people for each of them, responsible for the journey of one hundred miles, and each team was equipped with five sets of measuring instruments.

Each measuring instrument consists of a theodolite, five levels, and several tape measures!

In this way, Chu Lun left Guide with a team of 70 people and went to Luoyang, and began the survey work of the railway from Guide Mansion to Luoyang.

In addition, the matter of cooperating with the Kang family to build a shipyard has been negotiated, and Su Baiyi ordered Deng Long to lead more than a dozen people to set off to Haizhou to survey the site and choose a suitable location to build a waterway and a working platform.

Su Baiyi's life was briefly restored to peace.

Watering flowers and vegetables every day, shopping with my wife, and teaching a few classes in the Yuyuan when I am happy, are all the benefits of the students.

Of course, there is no fixed date for his class, it all depends on his mood.

Now the Yuyuan is getting more and more on the right track, not only has a huge library been built, but the lecturers of the college are not all selected from the students, and some have invited people from outside.

For example, Yuan Keli and Zhou Shipu.

Both of them are big celebrities, and they can attract a lot of students every time they attend classes.

In addition to Yuan Keli and Zhou Shipu, Mr. Xin Shuanzi, who originally taught at Wenzheng Academy, also came.

He didn't come here because of Su Baiyi's reputation, but because of the good environment and treatment in Yuyuan. You must know that working in Yuyuan can not only get a lot of money, but also teach and study at the same time, and teach at the same time.

In addition to this, various steel workshops are also progressing well.

Especially in the steel workshop, with the deliberate help of Su Baiyi, they not only developed bearing steel, but also made tool alloy steel, spring alloy steel, railway track manganese steel and other alloy steels.

The number of blast furnaces used in steelmaking has gradually increased to 30, and a large amount of ore is turned into rails and various alloys every day.

Wang Zheng set up a small workshop, which has a set of lathes that have been hand-polished under the benefit of Su Baiyi, because the tool steel has been developed, so the materials for making the blade are not a problem, so that several craftsmen have worked carefully and repeatedly polished, and a set of lathes has been formed.

There are not only lathes, but also bearing production workshops.

With the materials, one of the main processes is the production of balls.

This naturally did not make it difficult for Su Baiyi, after he melted the bearing alloy steel, the leaky pipe of a certain caliber was opened, and the molten steel inside dripped into the hot oil, and after cooling, it was a round ball.

Because the diameter of the leaky tube is the same, the size of the dripping balls is also the same, round and put together, the defective ones are removed, and the remaining ones are tempered and annealed, and then repeatedly pickled, and the balls are formed.

With balls and steel shafts, the production of bearings is naturally not a problem.

Thus, the lathe was born!

The lathes, along with the workers, were secretly transported to a small courtyard by the South Lake, where Deng Long had previously been responsible for the manufacture of Jenny machines and shuttle looms.

After asking Wang Zheng to get a lot of various alloy steels, Su Baiyi began the production of the ultimate black technology: the steam engine.

The manufacture of a steam engine is a complex system engineering.

To put it simply, if you want to build a steam engine that pulls a train, you can't do it overnight, you have to do it little by little. First of all, you have to have an engine, and secondly, you have to have a conveyor, you have to have a heating device, you have to have a boiler, and you have to have some other machinery.

Then the first thing is to design and draw drawings, and then produce cylinders; Reproduce a variety of supporting drive connecting rods, large wheels, conveyors, etc.

I am afraid it will take at least half a year to complete a real steam engine.

As the core of all the core of Su Baiyi, the steam engine naturally has to be kept absolutely secret, although even if the principle is revealed to other people's families, it may not be able to produce, but no matter what, he will not leak it.

The days passed little by little in the joy of the slow growth of this industry, and Su Baiyi lived a very chic life.

But there are still people who are not chic.

For example, Chongzhen, such as the entire imperial court.

For example, Shaanxi and Shanxi!

Since the winter of the first year of Chongzhen, the drought in Shaanxi has not stopped, until last year, there were displaced people from Shaanxi to the outflow, and this year it seems that it is going to enter the summer, but the seedlings in the field have long died, and the people of Shaanxi who have no hope of a good year have begun a large-scale wandering for food.

Those who are close to Sichuan will run to Sichuan, those who are close to Henan will run to Henan, and some will go to Huguang and Shandong.

More people who lacked food and clothing were held hostage by some rebel generals, and they attacked cities and plundered everywhere.

As a result, the entire Shaanxi, Shanxi, northern Sichuan, northwestern Hunan, and western Henan have become the hardest-hit areas.

Not just because of the outcasts, but also because of the thieves who looted everywhere they went.

In the winter of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of the three sides, and he changed the imperial court policy of appeasement in the past, and changed pacification to conquest and suppression, and fought a series of great victories in Shanxi, Shaanxi Province under the bloody violence.

Then, the leaders of the thief army in these two places couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of Shaanxi with a large number of displaced people, causing trouble in other provinces. In this way, they are concentrated in the mountains of northern Sichuan, southern Shaanxi, Henan and western Huxi, like an abscess in the Ming Dynasty, the worse it gets.

There are mountains everywhere here, and it is not easy to conquer and suppress, which has become the emperor's heart disease.

In the court, Zhu Youzhen knocked on the dragon chair, and asked the ministers with a gloomy face: "Suppress bandits, suppress bandits, the more bandits are suppressed, the more bandits you have, what should you do?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wen Zhenmeng, a scholar of the Cabinet University, came out of the ranks, and seemed to be respectful and respectful to Zhu Youzhen, and said: "The thief army is highly mobile, and it is mostly hidden in the deep mountains, and there are many things in Jianzhou at the moment, since the beginning of the spring, we have fought with Hong Taiji twice, and we have been defeated. ”

"Don't look tired?" Zhu Youzhen sneered: "The imperial court has long been exhausted, Master Wen should talk about how to suppress bandits." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to appease!" Wen Zhenmeng rolled up his sleeves and said, "The imperial court can order the officials of Sichuan, Henan and other places to appease the displaced people on the spot, so that it can show His Majesty's benevolence and calm the bandits, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

I'm fooling again!

Zhu Youzhen sneered in his heart: According to this, the displaced people will be solved? How similar is it to the original Yuan Wei five years of Pingliao?

But after a few years of court career, he has been tempered by his heart, and he said quietly: "The court has no money and no food, and as far as I know, there are many disasters in the state capitals of Henan and Sichuan, how to appease the thief army." It is to appease today, and to rebel when it comes, what should we do? ”

"Of course you can't let the local money come out!" Wen Zhenmeng said as a matter of course: "This money, the minister thinks that it should be paid by the imperial court!" ”

"The Imperial Court?" Zhu Youzhen sneered: "The number of thieves is huge, and the amount of silver required is not a small amount, often a million taels, do you greet, do you have silver in the household or in the inner treasury?" ”

Hou Sui was like an old monk, drooping his eyelids and arching his hand, and said to Wen Zhenmeng: "Lord Wen, there is no silver available in Taicang." ”

"Where's the inside?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

The old eunuch Wang Chengen said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister is in charge of the internal transport warehouse, and there is some good silver in the warehouse, but it is the military salary left for the three major battalions of the Beijing Division and the 26th Guards of Shangzhi, this cannot be moved!" ”

It really can't move.

The three battalions of the Beijing Division and the 26th Guards of Shangzhi are the emperor's own army, responsible for protecting the safety of the Beijing Division and the Imperial Palace.

Not to mention that this is related to the emperor's safety, and half of the betrayal cannot be allowed, but as for those high-level and low-level generals in the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, which one is not a powerful person, and who dares to take away their jobs?

"So, Lord Wen!" Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath, and his tone was full of disappointment: "Wen Aiqing, I'm afraid the method you said won't work." ”

"It works!" Wen Zhen Meng Zhizhu puffed up his chest, took a step towards the emperor's throne, and said, "Your Majesty, there is silver, but the courtiers and Your Majesty didn't think about it for a while." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up instantly: Got silver?

My Daming still has silver?

"Where is the silver?" Hou Sui also looked at Wen Zhenmeng with a puzzled expression.

Wen Zhenmeng's hand shook, knelt down on the Golden Palace, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no silver in Taicang, there is no silver in the inner treasury, but there is silver in the Railway Governor's Palace. With so much silver, not to mention the homeless people, even the prisoners outside the customs are not to be worried, why should Your Majesty worry about the silver? ”

"What? Thousand...... Thousand...... Eighteen million taels? Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, was stunned, and almost bit his tongue when he spoke.

He knew what kind of railway share sales Su Baiyi had in Guide Mansion, and he also knew that Su Baiyi had made a lot of silver, but he never expected that there would be so many 18 million taels!

"So much!"

"Su Baiyi is amazing!"

"Hmph, being in the company of those lowly businessmen is really embarrassing to the face of the court!"

"Not only merchants, I've heard that there are many nobles!"

"Willing to be indecent, willing to be indecent!"

……

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Fengyi's face turned red with excitement: "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty at the risk of death, but is there such a thing?" ”

Of course!

Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and said calmly: "Yes, there is such a thing, however, this is the silver for the construction of the railway, if Zhu Qing asks Su Baiyi to open his mouth, how can this railway be repaired?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't lose a big deal because of a small one!" Wen Zhenmeng took the opportunity to say: "Now that the people of Shaanxi are becoming more and more violent, and the people outside the customs are eyeing each other, if the imperial court does not have a proper solution, I am afraid that there is a risk of losing the country. ”
