Standing on the train, Wang Ningan really has an artifact in his hand, and I have the impulse in the world.

Not only in the field of transportation, but also in textiles, including metallurgy, mining, and machine building, will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Take today's Jiangnan as an example, the common use of water-driven spinning wheels, this has a problem, the water flow is not stable, will change, the spun line is not uniform, far less than handmade, but the price is low. In the north, the situation is even worse.

Because of the cold winter, many workshops can only rush to work in spring, summer and autumn, and no matter how anxious they are in winter, they can only stare dryly.

But with the advent of the steam engine, the situation was completely different.

As long as there is coal, as long as it is not broken, it can continue to output power stably.

Wang Liangjing was angry, and said that his son had arrived in Youzhou and had not gone home, do you want to learn from Dayu? He came with anger, but after seeing the effect of the steam engine, Lao Wang immediately smiled.

It's a wonderful thing.

For example, the Great Song Dynasty has already made artillery, and also made firecrackers, and the most difficult thing to make firecrackers is the pipe, if you drill a straight and even barrel, it tests all craftsmen.

Even the most skilled workers, who do not stop for a month, can only drill two at most, and may not be qualified.

If you switch to a steam engine to drive, it will be non-stop around the clock, and the power will be greater, and the efficiency can be increased by more than a thousand times, and in a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of people can be replaced with firearms!

Think about it, hundreds of thousands of firearms, bombarding the cavalry, what a scene it must be!

Daddy Wang's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly full of pride!

I still have 30 years to fight!

Wang Liangjing was seriously injured during the battle in Youzhou, and his health was not as good as before.

Sometimes, Daddy Wang often sighs that the years are no longer and the old age is useless.

But once firearms are equipped on a large scale, the individual's martial arts will be overwhelmed to the minimum, just bombard! No matter how powerful a samurai he is, can he stop the lead shots!

The more he thought about it, the happier Wang Liangjing became, and even danced with his hands.

The eldest young master of Gouya'er was originally very reluctant to do dirty work, his father was the prince, and his grandfather was also the master of one party, and even he was a general of the forbidden army.

What is it for getting covered in black ash and calloused hands?

It was only when the train came out of the mountain that he felt a deep sense of awe!

This train can pull more than 100 people out of the mountains, at least as good as 30 horses, and with continuous improvement, a train is expected to exceed the power of 1,000 horses!

Just imagine, there are thousands of war horses, who are they?

Daddy, Grandpa, or Zhao Shu...... Dogtooth suddenly felt that the simple Xu Yang, as well as this group of black craftsmen, were simply devils, and they had the ability to make ordinary people have more power than the emperor and generals!

It's terrible, it's terrible!

No wonder Daddy didn't let the news leak out!

If you had known in advance, there might have been a collective opposition.

Back then, Cangjie made words, ghosts and gods cried, and the steam engine came out, at least the mountains and rivers changed color, and the sun and moon were lightless!

The eldest young master trembled and stood still.

Suddenly, there was a slap in the head.

"Okay, go home quickly, wash well, you've become a skin monkey!"

Bai Shi said fiercely: "How big is it, you have to do it yourself, and you can't accompany me for a while when you finally go home?" Wang Ningan just smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

Daddy is rarely straightening his waist.

"You are a woman, you have long hair and short knowledge! Tell you, the steam engine has been researched, and in the future, no one on the grassland can defeat us, thousands of soldiers can die every year, and how many families can be saved! This is a matter of accumulating merit, your horizons are too small! ”

Bai was so angry that he glared at her husband fiercely.

"As far as you have knowledge, we women are all superfluous!"

The old couple quarreled, Xiao Guanyin of course looked at Master Bai, she chuckled and said: "Dad, according to me, this steam engine may not be able to accumulate virtue, and may even create evil!" ”

Wang Liangjing was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "How come? ”

Xiao Guanyin said with a smile: "I just saw that the steam engine burns coal, and I'm afraid it will increase the demand for a lot of coal in the future, right?" ”

Wang Ningan's eyes lit up, her daughter-in-law's knowledge is really good!

He gave a thumbs up, "That's true, no power is created out of thin air, the steam engine needs to be powered by coal, and it's a huge amount of coal!" The next step is to dig coal everywhere, and not only that, but also a thousand times more shearers. ”

Hearing this, Lao Wang also woke up suddenly.

"Erlang, a few days ago, something happened to make me angry."

Wang Liangjing complained to Wang Ning'an that after the increase in coal demand in Youzhou, many people went to Xishan to open small coal kilns, including a cousin of Xiang Hao.

This guy was so greedy that he caught up with the torrential rain, and he forced the workers to continue working, and as a result, the flash flood flooded and drowned dozens of workers in the mine.

Afterwards, the kid lied that the workers had robbed him of his money, and they all ran away.

He also sued the yamen in various localities to remove these people from the yellow book.

As a result, the families of the miners, some people did not believe them, saying that their families would never become robbers. In this way, there was a lot of trouble, and finally the truth was revealed, and someone found the bones in the mine, and the truth of the case was revealed.

However, the local yamen thought that Xiang Hao had followed King Xiliang for many years and was the prince's confidant, and his cousin was not an ordinary person, so he was only sentenced to be sent to the army.

Wang Liangjing has been training in the army, and he didn't know about it, but later he accidentally returned to Youzhou and listened to the people's discussions, and then he learned the truth. He's going crazy with his anger!

Dare to do something hurtful in the name of the Wang family, I really don't want to live!

Wang Liangjing immediately ordered the kid to be taken out of prison, and the military law was engaged in it, and he was directly beheaded.

In addition, he found Xiang's family again, Xiang Hao had already gone to the Western Regions to assist Wang Ningan in developing the Western Regions, and he didn't know anything about his family.

After Wang Liangjing learned about the situation, he didn't blame Xianghao, but let Xiang's family pay 20,000 yuan to subsidize the family of the dead miner, and finally calmed down the matter.

"People's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are not ancient! Tell me how this man does everything for a little money! It just doesn't make sense! ”

Lao Wang kept complaining, but found that his grandson was smiling.

"What, I'm not right?"

"yes, yes, I just think it's a little weird."

"What's wrong?"

Gouya'er said in a low voice: "Those rotten Confucians in Beijing, as well as the literati of the old school, also say the same thing about Daddy, attacking the new law!" ”

Wang Liangjing's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Little rabbit cub, do you mean that your grandfather is a rotten Confucian? Is it a big poor measure? ”

Dogtooth hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head desperately.

Wang Ningan smiled faintly, "Dad, don't be angry, the rivers are surging, the mud and sand are all down, this is something that can't be done." ”

"What do you mean by no way? Shouldn't it be taken care of if it hurts heaven and reason? "Daddy Wang is still stubborn, so I have to ask clearly.

"Of course, it should be managed, and if it is found, it must be severely punished, and it cannot be tolerated and adulterated. It's just that if you want to develop, if you want to progress, it is nothing more than to improve the technical level, and strengthen the organization and management. Every year, there are a lot of cases on the side of the Criminal Department, and the court only tries its best to deal with them, after all, many child laborers are sent by their parents and relatives, and it is very difficult to investigate thoroughly. ”

Bai Shi took a breath and asked in surprise, "How can such a cruel thing happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" How did this mom and dad be? Is there one in Youzhou? The local yamen, has anyone checked it? ”

"Youzhou may have it, but among all the cities, Youzhou should be the best."

"Why?" Bai Shi said curiously.

"Because of the field!" In addition to studying the steam engine with the craftsmen these days, Wang Ningan also asked them a lot of things, and gradually Wang Ningan discovered a situation.

Due to urbanization, a lot of ills have arisen in various places, but in Youzhou, the degree has been reduced a lot.

At first, Wang Ningan thought that they were reporting good news but not bad news, but later he arranged for someone to visit, and the results also proved that Youzhou was different from other places.

Of course, Wang Ningan has to summarize the reasons.

At the beginning, after the recovery of Youzhou, he personally presided over the division of the land, and about eighty percent of the ordinary people got the fields and pastures.

Although the area is not large, at least it is enough to eat and drink.

There are also many young adults who will go to the city to work, but they just want to earn some money to spend and go back to improve their lives.

If the owner boss squeezes too hard, they can go home without doing it as soon as they flick their sleeves!

In contrast, the workers in other cities, most of whom are landless displaced tenant farmers, have no way out at all, and have to grit their teeth to support no matter how hard they are squeezed.

"Alas, whoever says no, there is a way out, it is much better than nothing." Bai Shi suddenly said curiously: "Erlang, then in other places, can't you also divide the fields once?" ”

After asking, Bai Shi himself shook his head, how could it be! Youzhou is newly defeated, and the rest of the places are entrenched by gentry officials and wealthy families, and they are simply monolithic, unless these people are cut off their heads, how can they bow their heads?

"Then look at it this way, with the invention of the steam engine, the amount of coal used in various places is bound to skyrocket, and the life of coal miners will be even worse?" Wang Liangjing frowned painfully, very entangled, "Could it be that we have invented something harmful?" ”

"Of course you can't say that, the steam engine is just a tool, there is no right or wrong." Wang Ningan muttered: "It's just that people are born greedy and chase profits." ”

Wang Ning'an pondered for a while, and then said: "We are not sages, we can't educate the common people, let them all change their essence, and we can't put a good steam engine without it, so there is only one way......

"What's the idea?" Daddy, Bai's, Xiao Guanyin, and Gouya'er looked at Wang Ning'an together.

"It's very simple, it's to use barbarians as miners, and give them the most dangerous and deadly jobs!"
