Chapter 239: Preparing to Invent the Diesel Engine
That Zhao Yushi was there and kept talking, and the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart accumulated little by little, and he was about to reach a critical point.
It's just that his city government has always been quite deep, and he will not punish crimes with words, so he will tell the truth, so he ordered someone to find Lu Ning.
After a while, Lu Ning walked in from outside the hall with a tired face.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, it aroused the anger of the ministers who got up in the middle of the night, and Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly suppressed his anger and asked.
"Fu Guogong, did you sleep well last night?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers play and sleep well, eat well, thank you Uncle Huang for your memory, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do."
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the bookcase.
"Other ministers are diligent in state affairs, and they lack skills, you fall asleep at home with your head covered, do you still have a loyal and patriotic heart? Today, if you explain it well, if you can't explain it, I will listen to Zhao Yushi's words and deal with you heavily!
Lu Ning shook his hand helplessly, he had already said that a companion is like a tiger, it seems that this is reliable.
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are also overworked, and they lack skills."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally couldn't understand his pun, and sneered.
"What are you working on?"
Lu Ning looked at Zhao Yushi next to him, who was tidying up his black materials.
"Recently, some people have reported that Zhao Tingbi, the magistrate of Qixia County, cleverly set up a name to exploit the people, greedy for 80 taels of ink and silver, and many people have complained about it, but no one has replied."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said very depressedly.
"There is such a thing, this county commander is so bold, he dares to be greedy for ink at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he doesn't want to live?"
At that time, Zhao Yushi stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Tingbi is the son of a minister, he has been honest and honest since he was a child, and he will never do such a bad thing, this Lu Ning is purely framed!"
Lu Ning suddenly took out a piece of paper from his hand and said.
"This is the minister on the way to the court was stopped by the people to shout injustice, the next, the minister is just a false lord, not a person from the three law divisions, and please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the paper, on which Zhao Tingbi's guilt was written, and there were many people's signatures and handprints densely packed below.
was so angry that he snapped and threw the paper under Zhao Yushi's feet.
"This kind of dog official, the crime of embezzlement and harming the people is unforgivable! Spread our will, handed over to Dali Temple for severe punishment, Zhao Yushi shielded and connived, the crime was increased by one degree, and they were imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison and interrogated strictly! ”
It turned out that Xiao Songzi, who passed on the holy decree, had a good personal relationship with Lu Ning, and when he arrived, he told Lu Ning about it.
It just so happened that Lu Ning's wife Xu Miaojin had been in Jinyiwei, and she thought of the case where the people sued Zhao Yushi's son.
Lu Ning found someone to deliberately collect it, and sure enough, there were people who stopped the sedan chair and shouted grievances, and these things happened to become his magic weapon to deal with the bones in this egg.
Seeing that Lu Ning did not move his body and did not shake, and took down a dignified imperial history with a complaint, the ministers were dumbfounded, and no one dared to speak again.
After this incident passed, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Ning and said helplessly.
"Zi'an, although you are newly married Yan'er, it is understandable to take marriage leave at home, but a manly man, you must not waste your career for your wife, you should come out and help us do something."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang gave himself a sigh of relief, Lu Ning couldn't refuse too hard.
"Your Majesty, please."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said.
"What research did you want to do in the past, and what research do you continue to do, of course, your fourth brother is now in charge of the Domestic Products Division, which is very hard, and he can't be busy alone, so you can also help watch it."
Lu Ning was quite respectful at this time.
"Obey the order!"
Zhu Yuanzhang groaned again, and his index finger tapped lightly on the table before he said for a long time.
"Isn't Ma Sanbao's army going to conquer Dongying recently? One is that the other party is far away, the other is the wind and waves, and the other is that the sea conditions are not familiar, can you make some inventions, so that our Ming army can easily reach Dongying? ”
The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu thought in his heart, you are not an immortal, you can't even solve this eternal problem.
The conquest of Dongying was originally a treacherous and sinister undertaking, and if you are not careful, you will learn from Fan Wenhu, the minister of the Yuan Shizu period, and sink the ship directly.
The lessons of the previous dynasty are still there, do you still dare to go up?
Who knew that Lu Ning said.
"Actually, the problems Your Majesty said are not problems, the other party has a long way to go, so we need to build a strong ironclad ship that can walk on the power of machinery, and all problems will be solved."
"Do you really have an ironclad ship that you can walk on? How is this possible? ”
Lu Ning looked at Zhu Yuanzhang confidently.
"Your Majesty, before I made the grenade, could you imagine that there was such a powerful thunderstorm in the world? But with the continuous efforts of my Ming military and civilians, this thing is also available. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said immediately.
"You build such an ironclad ship as soon as possible, and we will be rewarded."
This kind of ironclad ship armor or something is also feasible, as long as modern technology is adopted, precision welding, floating on the water is no problem.
The most difficult thing is his power, that is, the engine inside it.
Although the steam engine can drive the ship, the speed is too slow, not much faster than the tortoise and rabbit race, and it is a fool's dream to get to Dongying.
The most affordable thing is to build a diesel engine or gasoline engine, but this requires oil, which is the Yanchuan stone liquid mentioned in Shen Kuomengxi's writings.
"Zi'an, what do you want? Tell us, can you do it? ”
Lu Ning replied truthfully.
"Your Majesty's ironclad ship can be built, but it takes a long time, and it is by no means a day and a half to build, we need to fundamentally change my Daming's industrial manufacturing technology."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"As long as you can build such an ironclad ship, we will ask for money and things, and you don't need to worry about anything!"
