After sending the fanatical shipwrights away, Sun Xin did not leave, but asked, "Did Your Highness order the Nasu team to return to the workshop to try out a furnace?" ”

"Team Sue?" Although Ye Jinyu had said about the stove, he didn't know who Team Su was.

Sun Xin said: "Didn't His Royal Highness name Chen Ergou Chen Haonan in his army?" And gave him the words: If you don't know Chen Haonan in your life, it is in vain to call yourself a hero. Now this saying has spread all over the Shenren Workshop, and everyone is vying to see what kind of person Chen Haonan is; deserves to be praised by His Royal Highness! The Su team is its commander; ”

"Oh! It turns out that his surname is Sue! As soon as Sun Xin said this, Ye Jinyu remembered, at that time he felt that the team was very military, but he didn't ask the other party's name.

"There is indeed such a thing, at that time, I either saw carbon monoxide poisoning in someone's home, or I was poisoned by carbon; So I thought of such a furnace to prevent carbon poisoning, so I asked them to come back and arrange craftsmen to produce this kind of stove for you to sell, so as to reduce the occurrence of poisoning incidents and save some more lives; The other is to find something to do for the families of the craftsmen in the workshop and earn a little money to subsidize the family. ”

After thinking about it, Ye Jinyu asked again: "What, is there anything wrong with this stove?" ”

Sun Xin shook his head and said: "No problem, whatever His Highness commands, Weichen should overcome all difficulties to do; After the Su team came back to inform Wei Chen, the minister immediately asked the blacksmith and carpenter to try out the furnace according to His Highness's instructions; Now that the coal furnace has been completed, wait for His Highness to go to appraise whether it is qualified. ”

"So fast?" Ye Jinyu asked in surprise, he remembered that he had only said this yesterday morning, and it had only been a day before the stove came out.

Sun Xin said: "What His Highness commands, he must do his best; What's more, this thing is related to the lives of tens of millions of people, so naturally the sooner the better! Alas, I heard that there was another person in the workshop last night who was poisoned by carbon, but fortunately, it was found in time and there was no homicide. I only hope that His Royal Highness's divine furnace will enter thousands of households as soon as possible, so that my Datang will no longer have the scourge of carbon poison. ”

"Let's go, let's see!"

The coal stove was made in a corner of the Shenren Workshop, and several furnaces were made, most of which were still in the state of iron shells, filled with sand and furnace cores, and only one finished product, and the finished product was fitted with a furnace lid, and above the furnace lid there was a long bamboo towering high, like a chimney of the industrial age, and there seemed to be heat coming out of it. There is also a pile of honeycomb coal molds processed next to it. I have to say that the creativity of Datang craftsmen is beyond Ye Jinyu's imagination. It's just a few sentences of description, and it's actually decent.

"Have you tried it? It's okay to burn, right? Ye Jinyu believed that this coal stove could be used, but he still asked more.

The craftsman who was waiting for the acceptance of the Shenxiao King next to him hurriedly opened the lid of the finished coal furnace and showed it to the Shenxiao King. There was still a fire burning in the stove, and it looked like it had been burning for quite some time.

While opening it, he explained: "I waited for this furnace to be lit last night, and the three pieces of coal burned all night, saving coal and making it easy to use; His Royal Highness's coal furnace is a sacred object. We unanimously call this furnace the furnace of God and man! ”

God-man furnace is God-man furnace!

"Since it's easy to use, let's make it like this and sell it in Chang'an City;" After Ye Jinyu gave the stove an affirmation, he said: "This stove is for the benefit of the people, and it can't be sold too expensive, as long as it ensures a certain profit; Honeycomb coal is a consumable, which can be used as a long-term business in the industry, and it is necessary to pay attention to let the water flow for a long time. ”

Sun Xin hurriedly said: "The minister has written it down, so I will set up the furnace workshop and the carbon making workshop." ”

Since the coal stove is getting so fast, is the other things almost ready, Ye Jinyu asked, "How is the matter of that artillery?" "The emperor is more concerned about his army and weapons than about the coal stove.

Sun Xin hurriedly said: "Tell Your Highness, the matter of artillery, the ministers also attach great importance to it, and have summoned all the blacksmiths to study the drawings and materials in the workshop; The drawings are ready-made, but they do not need all kinds of experiments, and they can be made in secret when the craftsmen understand them thoroughly; It's just that...... It will take time! ”

"Well, time must be rushed, and the quality must be guaranteed!"

Speaking of artillery, Sun Xin hurriedly seized the opportunity and asked: "Your Highness, the introduction of the sextant instrument is the artifact of positioning; It can be used for marching and fighting, sailing and prospecting; It's just that the latitude in the sextant is easy to recognize, but the longitude is determined somehow? ”

Of course, the longitude is determined by the timeline, and at this time, Ye Jinyu only told the emperor about them, and Sun Xin naturally didn't know; Ye Jinyu couldn't expect the emperor and a few princes to explain to Sun Xin, so he could only tell him again: "The longitude should match the time, didn't I bring a kind of clock explanation, and also brought a picture, the picture is a tower, and there are large discs on all sides of the top of the tower, and there are pointers in the discs." This is the indication of the time. ”

"Oh!" Sun Xin nodded and said: "Your Highness, Weichen has seen this picture, and it is divided into twelve grids, and it is marked with numbers, and the previous ministers did not know what it was for; Now that I think about it, these twelve squares are twelve hours! ”

Twelve hours became twelve hours? Well, if you like it, it's fine.

"I once suggested to the emperor that a tower clock be set up on the Xuanwu Gate as the zero meridian of the sextant; It's just that the emperor has not been there. So, you first get a few carpenters to learn how to make a clock, and try to make a big clock, well...... The emperor was not sure, so we built a bell tower on the south gate of the Shenren Square and placed it; In the future, the work and rest time in the Gods' Square will be based on the time on this clock; When the clock is ready, I'll get you a globe, and you can use the sextant to measure your bearings. ”

Sun Xin didn't know what the globe was, but he could understand the prince's instructions:

"Weichen obeys the order, but, Your Highness, there is not one in ten literate people in this craftsman, and the minister is really too busy to come, and the minister wants to recruit more literate people to come to the workshop; But among these scholars, most of them are children of families, and if the gods and men know about it; I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the gods. The minister didn't know how to choose, so he asked His Highness to show it. ”

Don't recruit people, the work progress is slow, recruit people, and I'm afraid that those big families will learn all the techniques of the Shenren Workshop; It's a real dilemma; As for Ye Shenren's saying that he wanted to let craftsmen learn to read, Sun Xin felt that it was too difficult. You must know that people nowadays learn knowledge from a few years old, and they learn for more than ten or even decades; I don't necessarily dare to say that I have learned to be talented. The God-man's vain attempt to teach these stupid craftsmen how to read and write in a very short period of time is simply a fool's dream...... Well, you can't be disrespectful to God-men.

Ye Jinyu didn't know what Sun Xin thought, and he didn't know the power of the family; I just thought that after I went back, I had to carefully sort out the regulations of the craftsman workshop and the literacy class, and the most important thing was to urge Lu Yuwei to put out the multimedia courseware.

"I remember this, I don't need to recruit people from outside, those who read it, I don't worry about recruiting them! You work hard for a while, and then I will bring teaching equipment, and when the craftsmen in the city recognize the words, you will be relaxed! ”

Although he is still skeptical, seeing that his own Shenxiao King is so confident, let's believe it first.

"Wechen is not hard, he can serve His Highness, the blessing of the minister!"

It's good to have someone under you, you only need to say a word by yourself for everything, and someone else will do the specific work.
