readx;??? Speaking of water power, Feng Yu was about to explain it to Zhu Qian, but when he heard it, he immediately understood, "What the adults said is that the iron smelting water drain and the water diversion are made?"

Feng Yu was taken aback. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Already have that?"

"Yes. The iron smelting water row was created by Du Shi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the water spinning was created by no one, and the Northern Song Dynasty has been used by the workshop, specifically for cutting gold and jade. ”

Zhu Qian's words were beyond Feng Yu's expectations, and the ancients knew these things? The two had a deep talk, and Feng Yu learned that the Central Plains had a long history of using hydraulic machinery, especially the scrapers, cylinders, and keel waterwheels used for irrigation, and some of them directly used the power of water flow, such as water mills, water mills, water drains, and water-to-large spinning wheels. In terms of processing machinery, there were primitive metal cutting machine tools in the Tang Dynasty at the latest, but no better metal machining machine tools appeared after that. The reason for this is that the traditional metal processing methods of the past dynasties are forging, grinding, and filing more than cutting, even if it is cutting, grinding, and filing are far more than knife cutting and milling, and there is naturally no demand for tool cutting lathes. Another reason is that the mechanical cost of wood components is low, which is easy for small households to afford.

There has always been no shortage of manpower in the Central Plains, and it is naturally cost-effective to replace machinery with manpower from an economic point of view. However, since then, metal machinery does not need to replace wooden machinery quickly, and machine tool manufacturing lags behind, which makes it difficult to process metal mechanical components, and the necessary systems of machinery, such as gears, bearings, cutters, fasteners, connecting rods, etc., cannot become more precise, delicate and efficient, and the power revolution is difficult to produce. The industrial revolution, marked by the enlightenment and use of the steam engine, could not have taken root in the middle of the country.

Looking at this situation, the hydraulic blast is ready-made, as for the machine tool, it is quite promising, but how to build the machine tool, I am very ashamed, and Feng Yu is also innumerable. After thinking about it again and again, Feng Yu only figured out two methods, one is to talk about the function and general shape with the craftsmen, and they tossed it. Another trick is to ask Yang Wanrong to come to Nanyang to get a few Hongmaoyi, hoping that some of them can know the doorway. However, there is a trouble in this, Feng Yu can only speak English, but at this time, all the people who are scurrying around in the Indian Ocean are Portuguese, if they don't understand the language, they will stare at each other at that time, or they will stare dryly. But I can only give it a try, and maybe I'll hit the shit luck.

After discussing the matter, Feng Yu asked again: "Now that the Fuzhou prefect has changed his prince's words, can there be a dossier with him?"

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty from the nine grades and above all levels of the official staff, in the Jinyi Wei Yamen have a special file, if someone is transferred from another place, according to the rules, this special file will also be transferred to the province of the thousand households, if it is the center, the special file will naturally follow the command of the envoy. In addition, if there is a hidden stake next to this person, the affiliation of this person will also be transferred.

"Yes. Zhu Qian seemed to have been prepared, and casually picked up a file from the table and handed it over. "This person is a six-year jinshi of Hongzhi, a native of Chun'an, Zhejiang, and has some local literary names. This year, he was just promoted from the post of Tongzhi of Pingyang Prefecture in Shanxi. According to this dossier, this person is not easy to publicize, but he is an official who abides by his duty, not the kind of character who will come to things. ”

"Hehe, Tongzhi Ti Prefect, I don't have five or seven thousand taels of snowflake silver, I'm just afraid that I will be sad about Grandpa Liu's level. ”

"But no, now that the first-level officials of the state government are promoted, they always have to face Liu someone, if they don't pay homage on the spot, I'm afraid that there will be an edict the next day, and where to go back and forth, the promotion will be in vain. ”

"Hmm. Eh, is there a Hongdong County in Pingyang Prefecture?"

"Yes. How?"

"Oh, nothing. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, there were no good people in Hongdong County. Feng Yu muttered to himself, and couldn't help but hum softly, "Su San has left Hongdong County and will come to the front ......of the street;

Zhu Qian listened and smiled: "My lord is so interested, which tune is this, it's weird and good." ”

He hummed a few words casually. Okay, you're busy with yours. I'll go to the workshop tomorrow, and you'll have to think about it. Oh, and also, you can help me draft a copy of the letter to Liu Jin. ”

Zhu Qian suddenly put on a bitter gourd face when he heard this, "My Lord Feng, as soon as you say it casually, it will be a few stalls of affairs, could it be that you can't use my Zhu Qian as an animal?"

Feng Yu laughed: "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Use women as men, and use men as animals', it's Brother Ziming." As he spoke, Feng Yu floated away with his hands behind his back. Zhu Qian sat there and muttered, "How could someone have said this, isn't it the current fabrication to fool me", shook his head, and continued to bury the case.

The next day, Feng Yu took his personal family to give Zhou Tian to a few personal soldiers and went to Shoushan. The construction site of the Shoushan Village Annex, which has now begun to take shape, is already on carpentry. Feng Yu walked back and forth, didn't find anything wrong, talked a few words with Kuaixiang, rewarded the craftsman with some silver taels, and turned around and went to the workshop.

In the days when Feng Yu and Zhu sneaked into Beijing, Yue Hai was in charge of the firearms workshop. In the past, Yue Hai was only in charge of Gongwei, but now that he suddenly took full responsibility, he couldn't help but be a little trembling, naturally he was Xiao Gui Cao Sui, not seeking merit but seeking no fault. Feng Yu praised him when they met. "Yue Hai, Yue Hai, I still underestimated you at the beginning. He is good at dancing knives and sticks, and now he is in charge of the duties of these thousands of people. When you didn't come for a while, I talked to the craftsmen a few times, and said that you are fair and easy to speak, and this is what a good official looks like. ”

Yue Hai's face was flushed, and his eyes were staring at his toes, "Hehe, my lord has won the prize." The humble duty is just to follow the rules set by Lord Zhu. ”

"It's rare to follow the rules. Feng Yu said, "How many new officials take office, and they are worried about putting three fires, otherwise they will not be able to show what they can." As everyone knows, the set of systems left by my predecessor is always the result of painstaking efforts to revise it in every possible way, and it is easy to use. Now, because of the waste of people, his subordinates have made half of the sandwich rice, and now they have to start again, can they not be fooled? Therefore, if you don't have the ability to excel, instead of changing your course, it is better to follow the rules. Eh, do you know what Xiao Gui Cao Sui is?"

"Hey, yes. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Xiao is Xiao He, Cao is Cao Shen, both of whom were the founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty. After Liu Bang founded the country, Xiao He was the first to accumulate merit, served as prime minister, and established the Western Han Dynasty code system. After Xiao He's death, Cao Shen succeeded him. Emperor Hui of Han, who ascended the throne later, saw that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was drinking and chatting all day long, and seemed to not want to govern the country at all, so he went to ask. Cao Shen asked rhetorically, Your Majesty thinks that my virtue and talent are stronger than Xiao He Xiangguo? Emperor Han Hui told the truth, I think you are not as good as Xiao Xiangguo. Cao Shen said that what His Majesty said was very true. Since my moral integrity and ability are not as good as Xiao Xiangguo's, then the ones formulated by Xiao Xiangguo after he unified the world have already been fruitful, and we are just keeping the success, and we can not appoint the first ministers to do things according to the rules? Cao Shen reigned for three years, quiet and inactive, and the people's strength gradually recovered. This is the origin of the allusion to 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui'. ”

Feng Yu said in surprise when he heard this: "Hehe, I have grown up again, it seems that I have been reading a lot of books these days." You used Lu Meng to encourage yourself, and now you are really making great progress. In order for the generals to know astronomy, geography, and advance and retreat, you should ask Zhu Ziming and them for advice in the future, but you can learn more. ”

"Yes. ”

"Uncle and sister-in-law, how are they?"

"It's all right to be cared for. ”

"Newlywed Yan'er, you also went home to visit at that time, and it didn't take much effort. If my sister-in-law blocks the door and asks me for a husband one day, I will beat you when I turn back. ”
