Chapter 103: Song Yingxing

If you want to get rich, build roads first. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Feng was going to repair the official road from Songjiang Mansion to Shanghai County first, and the task of repairing the road was going to be handed over to Tan Yi first.

So, Zhang Feng said: "Lord Tan, our official road from Songjiang Mansion to Shanghai County should also be repaired, this mud road is gray on sunny days, muddy on rainy days, and it is fatal that there are still many potholes, it is simply difficult to walk." ”

Tan Yixian's face turned red, and he said curtly: "Lord General Soldier, the official roads in various places are basically the same, and this is basically the case. ”

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "I don't care about other places, anyway, this official road from Songjiang Mansion to Shanghai County should be repaired well, so that you will be responsible for the road repair, Lord Tan, how about it?" ”

Tan Yixian's face was embarrassed, "Lord Commander, this, this ......"

Zhang Feng said: "Lord Tan, looking at your appearance, this is a difficulty. ”

Tan Yixian said: "Lord Commander, I do have a difficulty, we don't have any money in our hands." ”

Zhang Feng had already guessed that Tan Yixian would say this, and the money for road construction in Songjiang Mansion should be completely squeezed out, so Zhang Feng waved his hand impatiently: "Lord Tan, if you don't have money, then you go to mobilize, mobilize thousands of people and families to build roads together, widen and strengthen the official roads, and then pave cement, I will produce cement, and you will pay for road repairs and mobilize those people." ”

Build a concrete road!

Tan Yixian has heard of the cement road, and the cement road built in the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is a cement avenue, but he didn't think that Zhang Feng was so generous, and the official road from Songjiang Mansion to Shanghai County would be built into a cement avenue.

Tan Yixian's mood changed rapidly, he was a little resistant before, but now he became interested, and immediately said happily: "Lord General Soldier, you want to build a cement road, if this is the case, I will try my best to squeeze out a sum of silver, and I will definitely repair this road." ”

Building roads is a matter for the benefit of Sangzi, since Zhang Feng has promised to produce cement, Tan Yi will push the boat down the river first, and immediately agree to come down.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the common people have to serve the conscription, and participating in the construction of the road is a kind of conscription, and mobilizing thousands of people to come to build the road is not a big problem.

Seeing that Tan Yi agreed to the matter first, Zhang Feng was also happy for a while, and said with satisfaction: "Lord Tan, the matter of building the road will be handed over to you, widen and strengthen the original official road to two zhang, and then lay cement, in addition, the people who participated in the road construction will provide a free Chinese meal......"

Zhang Feng explained a lot, and Tan Yixian wrote them down one by one.

The matter of road repair was so decided, Tan Yixian moved relatively quickly, and began to mobilize the next day, and a few days later, the road repair project was in full swing.

The main reason why Zhang Feng insisted on building this official road, and even did not hesitate to take out cement, is that in the long run, with this cement road, the logistics between Songjiang Mansion and Shanghai County will be much smoother, and it will also save a lot of effort.

Of course, after the completion of this cement avenue, it is a great thing for the benefit of the people, and Zhang Feng is even more urgent to build this road himself.

…………

Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

Zhang Feng came here again, on the way this morning, Zhang Feng has already seen that the official road leading from Songjiang Mansion to Shanghai County is already in full swing, at least thousands of people are building roads, widening and strengthening the roadbed, seeing so many people, Zhang Feng is relieved.

In the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Zhang Feng looked at the two newly completed large factories, and now there are six or seven large factories that can be used.

"Look, Lord Commander, this is the barrel mold we cast."

In the casting workshop, Zhang Feng saw that the workers were already preparing the molds for casting the barrels, not only these casting molds, but also some other casting parts, such as the casting parts of machine tools, the casting parts of steam engines, and so on.

"Lao Zhao, you guys are so fast, the mold for casting the barrel has begun to be prepared, I believe it won't be long before our barrel can be cast."

After receiving the praise, Zhao Zuolin smiled happily, "Lord General Soldier, you can take a look at our steam engine parts again, how about it, it's okay." ”

Zhang Feng looked at it, his heart was more satisfied, and he was about to say something, when a foreman trotted in all the way and whispered a few words in Zhao Zuolin's ear, and suddenly, Zhao Zuolin's face changed slightly.

………

Zhang Feng often practices the Five Elements Exercise and has good hearing, although the foreman's voice is relatively small, Zhang Feng still vaguely hears some.

Zhang Feng asked in a deep voice, "Lao Zhao, what's the matter?" ”

Zhao Zuolin's face darkened, and he immediately said apologetically: "Lord Commander, it's all my fault, there was a little mistake, our Machine Manufacturing Bureau mixed in a spy, and we caught it just now." ”

In terms of management, Zhang Feng repeatedly emphasized that it must be strict, and it attaches great importance to confidentiality, and now someone has actually mixed into the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, which is a "big accident", no wonder Zhao Zuolin listened to the foreman's report, and his face immediately changed.

Zhang Feng's face also sank, such a thing happened, who was so bold, and quietly infiltrated the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

However, Zhang Feng thought about it, although the gate and wall of the current Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau have been built, there are still several factories under construction, which have not yet been completed, and at least hundreds of people enter the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau every day to work.

There are so many people who have to enter here every day to do things, although Zhao Zuolin is already very strict in management, if someone deliberately wants to get in, it is inevitable that there will be a mistake in this need.

Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is Zhang Feng's baby bump, Zhang Feng immediately said: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

It didn't take long for everyone to come to the three-story office building of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and in a room on the first floor, several members of the security team of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau were watching this old man.

Yes, this is an old man, about fifty years old, but his face is flushed, his spirits are very good, and he is neatly dressed, which is completely different from the "spy" in everyone's impression.

Zhang Feng was also slightly stunned, Zhang Feng had the impression that since he was a "spy", most of them should be young people, and he didn't think about it, he was a middle-aged and elderly person in his early fifties.

"Lord Commander, this is the person who infiltrated our machine manufacturing bureau, and tried to go to the manufacturing workshop to peek at our steam engine manufacturing, and was caught by us."

The leading security guard, when he saw Zhang Feng, immediately reported the general situation, and Zhang Feng listened to the report while looking at this person.

The other party didn't mean to be scared at all, he was still smiling, looking at Zhang Feng, and nodded slightly while looking at it.

Zhao Zuolin was about to interrogate, and this person spoke, "You are Lord Zhang, the chief soldier of Songjiang?" ”

Zhang Feng nodded and asked, "Are you ......?"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm here to visit, I'm not a spy, I heard that you have a lot of strange things here, I'm just curious, I can't help but come in and take a look."

Hearing this, Zhang Feng knew that this person should not be a spy, and he still had a lot of background, and this was not a place to talk, so Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Go, Lao Zhao, go to your office." ”

Zhao Zuolin nodded, and then said to everyone: "It's okay, everyone is scattered." After speaking, Zhao Zuolin led Zhang Feng and the person just now to his office together.

Zhang Feng beckoned the other party to sit down, and instructed Zhao Zuolin to serve hot dishes, and then, Zhang Feng said: "There are no outsiders here, let's say, who are you?" ”

"Old Song Yingxing, I don't know if Mr. Zhang has heard of it."

Song Yingxing!

Not to mention hearing about it, it's just thunderous and famous!

Zhang Feng himself never thought that the other party was actually Song Yingxing, who was the most famous scientist in this era.

Song Yingxing, whose name is Chang Geng, Han nationality, Jiangxi Fengxin, is a famous scientist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in China.

Song Yingxing's writings and research fields cover different disciplines of natural sciences and humanities, and his most outstanding work, Tiangong Kaiwu, has been hailed as "the encyclopedia of Chinese crafts in the 17th century".

Zhang Feng became excited all of a sudden, immediately stood up, and said with surprise on his face: "You are Song Lao, if you don't say it, I really didn't think about it!" ”

Song Yingxing saw Zhang Feng's reaction so big, and couldn't help but think in his heart, am I really so famous?

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Song Yingxing served as the teacher of Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. Faculty members are faculty members who have not yet entered the stream.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Song Yingxing's term of office expired, and he was promoted to the position of Fujian Tingzhou Prefecture Governor (Zheng Bapin), a subordinate official under the observation envoy, in charge of a government prison, commonly known as the Punishment Hall, also known as the manager.

It can be said that the current Song Yingxing is still just a small official, and he should be really famous in the future, especially in later generations.

Zhang Feng doesn't care about this, Zhang Feng's first reaction at the moment is to pick up the treasure, he is short of people, especially people who understand science and technology, he didn't think about it, he was so lucky, Song Yingxing sent it to the door by himself.

Song Yingxing also heard by chance that there was a big ship without sails in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, Song Yingxing was curious, so he came to take a look.

Looking at it this way, it would be terrible, Song Yingxing looked at the steam-powered carrier from afar, and today he even mixed into the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and wanted to go to the Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant to have a look, but he was found not long after he mixed into the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, so far, he has not seen the steam engine being produced in the factory, nor has he seen those steam machine tools.

Zhang Feng had already thought about it, Song Yingxing had to stay, so Zhang Feng threw an olive branch, "Old Song, are you interested in taking a look at our steam engine and our steel plant." ”

Song Yingxing wanted to see these things the most, and immediately said happily: "Mr. Zhang, can I go and see these things, that's great." ”

Zhang Feng said politely and enthusiastically: "Old Song, if you want to see it, I will personally take you around." ”

Song Yingxing was overjoyed, and didn't think about it, Zhang Feng was so hospitable, he actually took himself to see it, so Song Yingxing said with a happy face: "Mr. Zhang, thank you so much." ”

Zhang Feng thought in his heart, after you see our things, I don't believe you still want to leave, for a science and technology cow like Song Yingxing, Zhang Feng naturally has a way to deal with him, that is, to attract him, make him fascinated, and then he will stay.

Sure enough, Zhang Feng first took Song Yingxing to see a big circle in the Offshore Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and in the afternoon, he took Song Yingxing to see Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant and Shanghai Shipyard.

For all kinds of machines, Song Yingxing has a very in-depth study of himself, and has always been more conceited, in fact, not only for machines, Song Yingxing has a deep attainment in production technology, agriculture, as well as chemistry, physics, biology, nature, etc.

In this era, and even looking at the whole world, Song Yingxing can be regarded as a science and technology expert, but he is also limited by the times, and Zhang Feng naturally cannot be compared, after all, there is a knowledge difference of hundreds of years.

After watching the steam engine, the steel smelting, and the steam carrier today, Song Yingxing found that he was still narrow-minded, and there was still such a vast world.

Song Yingxing immediately said that he would stay, and Zhang Feng was naturally happy, and immediately announced that Song Yingxing was the chief engineer and chief scientist of the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

Zhang Feng knows that from now on, he has a big help, and some things may not have to be done by himself, maybe with a little guidance, Song Yingxing is estimated to be able to do a good job.

For example, when he was looking at the steam engine just now, he understood the working principle of the steam engine, and after looking at the structure of the steam engine, Song Yingxing put forward several good suggestions for improvement.

For example, when he saw the craftsmen casting the molds of the gun barrels, Song Yingxing put forward some suggestions for improving the casting process and methods after reading it.

Zhang Feng knew that he had really picked up a treasure this time.

For example, in the field of handicraft production, he has conducted in-depth research on production techniques such as bricks and tiles, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, and oil extraction.

In physics, Song Yingxing's "On Qi? The Acoustic Scene is an outstanding chapter on acoustics. Through the specific analysis of various sounds, Song Yingxing studied the occurrence and propagation laws of sound, and put forward the concept of sound propagation.

In terms of chemistry, Song Yingxing analyzed the chemical properties of various non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, tin, lead and zinc, compared their activity, and proposed a method to separate or test the metals concerned by using the differences between them.

In terms of nature, Song Yingxing resolutely refuted those superstitious theories of ghosts and monsters, and advocated that the investigation of things should be done by the methods of "trial seeing" and "experimenting".

Found a treasure, really found a treasure!

It is estimated that Zhang Feng will wake up laughing when he sleeps tonight.

Sometimes, luck can't stop you.
