Chapter 136: A Grand Commendation
If Zhu Changyuan is not mistaken, this period, especially some European scientists, such as Newton and Galileo, lived in the sixteenth century. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full text reading]
However, the only drawback is that Newton was still a nursing child at this time, and Galileo had already gone with the coffin board. It's unlikely that you'll want to capture the two of them to serve you and help you complete your mission.
But it doesn't matter, at this time it is the embryonic stage of modern science in Europe, and many theoretical knowledge has begun to take shape, even if it does not appear, when Zhu Changyuan mentions a few words on the side, and then takes out some books and materials for them to study, it can be worth the industrial life of Britain a hundred years later.
Just do it, took out his mobile phone and called Kong He as soon as possible.
"Hey!"
After the phone was dialed, Zhu Changyuan said first.
It took a long time for a voice from there to hear Konghe: "Is this the general's voice?" ”
I only heard Kong and the broken man next to him say: "Yes, yes, I listen to the master's voice, you speak to him quickly!" ”
Kong He respectfully raised the mobile phone above his head, and then saluted and bowed, making Zhu Changyuan cry and laugh, but he was still very patient and waited for Kong He to finish his work, and asked, "Can you speak now?" ”
Kong and Zhengse said loudly: "Yes, Junhou, now your subordinates can speak!" ”
I'll go, it's the first time I've used a mobile phone for this thing, Nima's voice is chasing Liu Erdanzi, this is really the next generation of Erdanzi!
"Be quiet, I can hear you!" Zhu Changyuan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Shaanxi should hand over the affairs to the prisoner first, and order you to return to Riyue Island as soon as possible, I will send a boat to arrive in Dengzhou, Shandong in two days, I hope you can arrive in two days!" ”
"Yes!"
Hearing Kong He's answer, Zhu Changyuan snapped and hung up the phone.
It is practical to drive a big steamer from Riyue Island to Dengzhou, and it can be reached in less than two days, and it can be reached in one day. However, it is impossible for Zhu Changyuan to drive a big steamer over, it is not worth it.
He ordered two good sailors to drive his luxury speedboat directly to Dengzhou, Shandong. It also took a day.
As for Kong He, riding the fast horse given to him by Zhu Changyuan, he arrived in Dengzhou ahead of schedule without stopping, after the two rounds. They were transported back to the island with men and horses.
When Kong He arrived on the island, a grand party was being held on the island, but not to welcome him, but to honor Dennis, who invented the steam engine!
As a foreigner, Dennis was wearing red Chinese-style clothes at this time, and a big red flower was specially hung on his chest, as for this big red flower, it was naturally arranged by Zhu Changyuan to put it on.
Zhu Changyuan personally pulled Dennis down to the white altar that only he could go up to, and waved his hand to all the people on Sun Moon Island who came over. He said, "Hello to the inhabitants of the island! ”
"Prince, Prince, Prince!"
All the people below, surrounded the entire altar three layers inside and three layers outside, without a single gap, these people are all the people on the entire Sun Moon Island, including those foreign merchants who come to the island to do business.
To recognize Dennis, but also to encourage the rest to learn more. Love invention, Zhu Changyuan did not hesitate to mobilize people from all over the island to give a speech in person this time.
"Be quiet!" Zhu Changyuan stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, signaling all the people at the scene to be quiet. Then he whispered, "Let me introduce you, this is the new resident of our Sun Moon Island, Mr. Dennis!" ”
"Maybe two days ago he was just an ordinary nameless person, and even now many people don't know why I invited Mr. Dennis here, are you wondering if this Mr. Dennis won the battle there? Did it bring loot to our Sun Moon Island again? ”
"I tell you. Neither! ”
Zhu Changyuan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Dennis is just a scholar, and he is still an ordinary person, but it is he, an ordinary person, who has worked hard in his own position, but has done an extraordinary thing!" ”
"Lift it up!"
With a wave of his big hand, Yan Hong and Chang Ning below personally lifted up a large drawing of Zhang Xu Jianfang, on which was drawn the schematic diagram of a steam engine.
Of course, many people can't understand this drawing, although Zhu Changyuan popularized education on the island, at least more than half of them are still illiterate, which is related to personal quality, and is also related to ancient concepts, which is not easy to reverse.
However, there are still quite a few people who can see the doorway, and even some smart people can see it at a glance and say: "I know, this thing is a machine that is mainly propelled by hot steam. ”
Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly and said, "Not bad! ”
However, the man shook his head disapprerovingly, respectfully to Zhu Changyuan but disdainful of Dennis, and said: "Lord Junhou, this idea is good, but the subordinates don't think that the heat can have much power, it is better to directly use people or big animals to push it!" ”
It's just a matter of course.
Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The power of steam is not something you can imagine, and when Mr. Dennis makes this thing, you will know how powerful and powerful he is." ”
Zhu Changyuan remembers that when he was in junior high school, some of the trains on the Longhai line in his hometown were steam engines, and it was already the nineties.
It's impossible to say that the steam engine is boring, it's just that it can't run fast.
"Today, in front of all of you, I want to praise Dennis, this thing invented by Dennis, this thing is extremely crucial for our entire Sun Moon Island and even the Ming Dynasty in the future."
But no, in the future, Zhu Changyuan plans to build a railway artery running through the north and south of China, and when the national power has not yet been developed, he can only use this kind of steam car to transport things and people.
"I love famous generals, but I love these smart people even more!" Zhu Changyuan paused and said: "I have brought so many things from other places, some of you have been seeing them for almost two years, but you only know how to use them, who has diveled into research, who knows how these things work, who can figure out a little thing from these basic principles, and imitate them to do some other things?" ”
"No, you people, you know how to work all day long, brothers, anyone can work, but not everyone knows how to knowledge, so you usually have to study hard, you have to study carefully, I believe you can also make such a powerful thing!"
Seeing that many people at the scene still listened to half of his words, Zhu Changyuan had to take out his killer weapon, lift the red cloth on it from the tray held by a maid on the side, and pick up a thick pile of 100 yuan bills.
"Wow!" Seeing so much money, all the people on the scene were boiling and their eyes lit up.
Sure enough, real wealth is the best thing that arouses everyone's **.
"This is a 10,000 yuan bill, I won't say how many things I can buy, because I don't know, but I want to ask, how much income can a person earn a month for the most ordinary laborers?"
"Ten pieces!" Someone raised his hand and said.
"What about that year?" Zhu Changyuan asked again.
It was still the same person just now, looking at Zhu Changyuan with a simple smile, and said with some embarrassment: "Except for the days when I didn't work, I almost earned seventy-six yuan last year, and I still have fifty yuan left after excluding my family." ”
Zhu Changyuan listened and smiled slightly, this is indeed the salary of an ordinary laborer, and he can save about fifty yuan a year, which seems to be very little, but for this fifty yuan, he can buy a small courtyard house in Beijing near the imperial city.
"Then I'll tell you today, if you can save fifty yuan a year, if you want to save so much as ten thousand yuan, it will take two hundred years!"
"Hiss!" Don't say I don't know, I'm shocked when I say it, it's two hundred years, almost ten generations before and after.
"Now, I'm going to reward Mr. Dennis with this 10,000 yuan bonus!" After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, he stuffed the money in his hand directly into Dennis's hand.
Dennis only knew that the island was commending him today, but he didn't know that he still had 10,000 yuan in cash, and he got it by chance, and he almost fainted with a breath of blood.
Stunned to take the banknote in Zhu Changyuan's hand, Dennis is really happy now, this is 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, you can buy several big houses and villas on Sun Moon Island.
"At the same time, starting today, I announce that Mr. Dennis has assumed the position of the head of the science and technology research and development department of our Sun Moon Island, which is subordinate to the great government affairs Yan Hong!"
"Wow!"
The scene boiled for a moment.
Nima, being promoted to an official and making a fortune, this is something that many people dream of, especially being an official on Sun Moon Island, and being respected by all countries.
Moreover, for the first time, I heard that it is so simple to be promoted, you don't have to study hard for ten years, you don't have to take the imperial examination, and you don't have to go through the pain of falling to Sun Mountain!
Many people's minds, at least for that moment, were greatly shaken.
"Again, I declare!" Zhu Changyuan suppressed everyone's boiling voices and said, "Engrave Mr. Dennis's name on the Hero Cliff forever, ranking above all the soldiers!" ”
"Isn't it!"
Do you want to engrave the name of this product on the Hero Cliff, and rank above the soldiers?
The Hero Cliff had been built a long time ago, and the names of many people who had made outstanding contributions to Sun Moon Island, including the two hundred cavalry under Zhu Changyuan, were on it.
But now it is a bit too much to suddenly engrave this Dennis's name on it, even more than the major government affairs.
Even Yan Hong and Kong and them, they are a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but what is the use of dissatisfied, now they all know that Zhu Changyuan is setting up an archway, setting an example, and guiding everyone to drill science and technology, invent and create. (To be continued.) )
