On the stairs of the city wall behind the Zhengyang Gate, except for the emperor who walked in the front, the rest of the people were all in chaos.

At this time, no one cares what your identity is.

What about the six Shangshu and the five Siqing?

You have to go and see for yourself what the miracle looks like!

"Boots!"

"Boots!"

"Which *** took away the official's boots!"

「……」

"Ru Yu! Take care of your soldiers! The old man's pants ......

"Where's the official's hat? Fuck it, someone wants to rob the errand of Honglu Temple?"

"Fuck it! Into the fuck! Don't even be next to Lao Tzu!"

"The officials are rushing to Lao Tzu!"

"Wang Jun'er, you don't want to frame my officials."

Everyone wants to see with their own eyes whether the 5,000 catties of stone were really lifted up without the effort of one person on the tower of Zhengyangmen City, in that piece of rumbling.

Or is it that in this roar, the slogans of dozens of people who contributed on the city wall were masked.

However, at the moment when the hoisting platform left the ground with the more than 5,000 catties of stones, Eucalyptus had already appeared in everyone's minds.

Lying is a technical job.

A thing that will be publicized to the public cannot be a lie.

It's just that......

"It's horrifying......

Finally, with a group of officials from the military department, Ru Yu was the first to rush to the city wall behind the emperor, and his face was complex and changeable after looking at the steam engine that was constantly spitting white smoke and roaring not far in front of him, and let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Ren Hengtai looked fixedly at the steel handle behind the steam engine that was constantly rotating and the four hemp ropes of the pulley were turning, and then silently turned his head to look at Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Wang Jun's face was a little red.

It's impossible to tell if he ran from under the walls to the walls, or because of some other reason.

Ren Hengtai's eyes, Wang Jun naturally saw it.

It's already a shame today, and Wang Jun naturally won't care about anything anymore.

I saw him walk quickly to the side of the city wall and look down.

The hoisting platform and the more than 5,000 catties of stones were still lifted up safely, probably because they were too heavy, so the speed of rising was not fast.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

Then I saw that the round opening at the bottom, which had been closed, was opened.

Woooooooooooo

A whimper burst out of the open opening, sparks and heat waves sultry.

The fire was raging as if it were about to burn the world, and the refined coal burned with a loud sound.

Zhu Yunxi also opened his mouth: "Grandpa, this is the combustion chamber, all the coal is burned, and after treatment, the fire can burn more vigorously."

Zhu Yuanzhangzai carefully looked inside the combustion chamber for a few times, and then looked up at the pulley frame, all the hemp ropes were finally connected by a few things with uneven teeth, and finally driven by the other end of the steam engine.

There is no trace of human pulling.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, "What is burning in this steam engine?"

"It's boiling water...... Zhu Yunxi said silently, but he was a little helpless in his heart.

The future historical development of mankind seems to be a struggle with how to better boil water, and there is no way to get rid of this matter.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes jumped, and his eyebrows furrowed: "Boil water?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, didn't speak, just put the iron rod in his hand on the chimney on the top of the steam engine, which was constantly emitting white smoke.

Then he carefully pulled a bolt on the tail of the steam engine.

Don't dare to pull too much.

At this time, there is a lot of discouragement, and something will happen.

There was a whining hiss, and the entire iron rod was wrapped in white smoke.

After a while, Zhu Yunxi pulled the iron rod back, and his movements were very slow, just to cool the water vapor on the iron rod for a while.

Then he sent the iron rod with a trace of water droplets to the old man.

And Zhu Yunxi had already stretched out a hand and scraped it tentatively on the iron rod.

Tick.

A drop of water that gathered on Zhu Yunxi's finger and stomach fell to the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became curious, snatched the iron rod from Zhu Yunxi's hand, and reached out to scrape it like him.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and laughed.

"It's water."

"It's really amazing, boiling water can pull a weight of 5,000 catties?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Boiling water naturally can't pull such a heavy thing. It's just that because there is more boiling water, and the water vapor is blocked in this steam engine, more and more of it has a lot of strength.

Then this force will go to the front power room to push the inner shaft to rotate, and finally it can pull the weight with the outer gears and connecting rods."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned throughout the whole process, hoping that he could figure out what the reason for this matter was, and how this steam engine could lift a weight of five thousand catties. ….

But in the end, the emperor who was in charge of the Ming Dynasty and played the role of the world was helplessly discovered.

I don't understand it.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man's frowning appearance, and explained, "Grandpa, it doesn't really matter what the steam engine does, the important thing is that as long as you have this thing.

In the future, whether we are building a city, dredging a river, or other things that need to pull heavy objects, we can use a steam engine.

It is no longer the same as before, and everything can only be done by conscripting the people into conscription, and it is the power of the world to lift a land."

"Coal Burning...... Burn coal......" Zhu Yuanzhang said softly at this time, and then his eyes sank: "How can the coal mine output of Shanxi Road be enough?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give Zhu Yunxi a chance to speak.

Turning to look at the courtiers who had already gathered around, tiptoeing to look at the steam engine on the inside and outside of the three floors.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the courtiers present without a smile: "Have you seen enough?"

"Your Majesty, this is a divine object!"

"I have never seen anything so powerful in my life."

"It's really my luck!"

「……」

Now anyone can see that the matter of the steam engine, Taisun did not lie, nor was he deceived by anyone below.

It's all real, and it doesn't take a single person to pull a lot of heavy objects.

There is no fake!

"It's up! It's coming up!"

"The rocks are being hoisted!"

"What an eye-opener."

At this time, the officials gathered outside suddenly exclaimed.

On the city wall, the monarch and the ministers turned their heads at the same time.

I saw that outside the city wall, the hoisting platform pulled by the four wrist-thick hemp ropes had appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and more than 5,000 catties of stones on the platform were piled up on it.

Then, everyone saw that the eight-grade craftsman official of the Ming Dynasty had already begun to take people to work on the pulley.

This time, it's because it's a close-up view.

The monarch and the minister saw that there was a live buckle fixed on the pulley frame.

Just close a few snaps and open the others.

The hemp rope can no longer move a single inch, while the pulley wheel can move freely back and forth on the steel frame.

"Woo woo woo woo ......"

The steam engine hissed long, and the chimney spewed out a huge amount of white steam like a wave, rising into the sky in columns.

This is to stop the steam engine from working and release the internal pressure.

Then, a group of monarchs and ministers saw that the hoisting platform loaded with more than 5,000 catties of stones, under the leadership of Zhang Ergong, slid from the outside of the city wall to the city wall, hovering in mid-air.

A mighty wind blew.

The hoisting table began to sway leisurely slightly.

There was silence on the wall of Zhengyangmen.

Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly, and looked at Zhang Ergong, who was standing on the side of the steam engine with his hands and feet tied.

Zhang Ergong shuddered, frowned and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a nervous face.

What is Taisun going to do by himself?

I don't know.

Zhang Ergong timidly swept the corner of his eye to His Majesty the Emperor and those adults in red robes. ….

"Your Highness, do you want to put things down......

After holding back for a long time, Zhang Ergong finally said such a sentence.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing, stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Ergong, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"Don't you still have something to offer to Your Majesty and the officials in the court?"

Hearing the reminder, Zhang Ergong reacted and nodded again and again.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a nervous face, shrunk his head and clasped his hands: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... The minister also has a ...... A steam engine that needs to ...... I'm going to show it to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of goodwill smiles.

This Zhang Ergong now has an eight-grade official body, but he doesn't have an official appearance at all.

In the imperial court, this is not a good thing.

But in front of yourself, it couldn't be better.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Naturally, we want to watch it, but before we read it, we still have a few words to say to these officials of yours."

Zhang Ergong nodded, and he didn't know any etiquette in front of the king.

It turned out to be self-reliant, and he fled to the other side of the steam engine.

Then he saw that this guy was already directing his craftsmen, and began to put the five thousand catties of stones back under the city wall.

And Zhu Yuanzhang had already turned to look at the hundred officials.

"You can see the steam engine that burns coal."

The ministers bowed and said, "I see it clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Let's look at this steam engine, it burns coal, but it uses a lot."

The ministers looked down at the swarthy coal scum scattered across the walls.

The emperor never talked nonsense with his courtiers.

Therefore, His Majesty is disgusted with the steam engine starting

After that, it costs too much?

At a time when everyone was struggling with what the emperor meant by these words.

The military department Shangshu Ru Yu has already stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister's steam engine is driven by coal, without a trace of manpower, it should be something that has never been seen in the Central Plains, and I will hold a sharp weapon in my hand to benefit the world."

The minister admonished that the imperial court should now urge Li Jinglong, the general of the town and the prince of Cao Guo, to recruit more Japanese miners into the court, and to expand the coal mines in various coal mines in Shanxi Province, so as to use the ten million steam engines in the future for us."

After finishing speaking, Ru Yu glanced at Zhan Hui beside him, who only had time to take one step, but was preempted by himself.

Zhan Hui sighed slightly in his heart.

It would be impossible for the Emperor to mothlock the steam engine, and according to what happened today, His Majesty would definitely use the steam engine vigorously.

Then His Majesty repeatedly mentioned the matter of steam engines burning coal.

That is naturally worried that in the future, Daming may lack coal to supply steam engines.

But what is the situation of the miners in Daming?

This is not an unknown thing in the court.

In the entire 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty, I have seen which officials except Shanxi Province will take credit for how many miners were abolished in the past year, and explain their achievements to the officials.

There is no second place in the whole Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with a smile on his face, and waved his hand: "Since the imperial court has asked for this, I will send the decree to the general of Zhenwu." ….

After finishing speaking, the old man didn't give these people a chance to continue, beckoned to Zhang Ergong, and actually took this eight-grade craftsman official to the city wall.

Leaving the hundred officials on the city wall to look at each other.

Why, didn't the court just open up a military department book, and when did the entire court ask for this.

Zhu Yunxi passed by everyone gracefully, and said in a surging voice: "Everyone, go down, Zhang Ergong has another good thing to offer."

and when the people came down from the wall.

Zhang Ergong, who was taken down the city wall by Zhu Yuanzhang first, had already prepared everything.

At this time, Zhang Ergong probably saw that His Majesty the Emperor was not a cannibal, and his nervous expression was never revealed again.

"Your Majesty, this steam engine has been improved by the others, although it cannot directly lift heavy objects from the city wall, it can pull these five thousand catties of stones to any place where there is a road to connect."

Zhu Yunxi, who walked down from the city wall, saw that Zhang Ergong had been able to deal with the old man calmly, and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the other one and lifted the tarpaulin, only to find that this carriage was different from the carriage next to it.

The horses in front have been taken away.

Instead, there were longer carriages with five wheels.

The four wheels in the back are opposite each other, distributed left and right. There is a single wheel in front of it, which is extended to the top of the carriage by an iron pole, and then a horizontal iron pole is joined together.

In the middle of the carriage was another steam engine, smaller than the one on the city wall, and next to it was a basket of coal.

As for the stones that were previously hoisted on the city wall, they were also distributed in front of and behind this steam engine at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked very curiously, "You don't need cows and horses, you can make this ...... The carriage moves?"

The emperor hesitated a little, without the thing of a horse-drawn carriage, could it still be called a horse-drawn carriage?

was questioned by the emperor like this, Zhang Ergong, who had already been able to deal with it calmly, began to get nervous again, and didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes helplessly, it seems that in the future, he should do practical things honestly here.

He could only step forward by himself: "Grandpa, look at the bottom of this car, the four wheels behind it are connected to the steam engine above. It's like...... It's the same as the steam engine on the city wall."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "You mean, this steam engine can also drive this car to move

Come? The wheels are the same as the wheels?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently: "Shengming has no grandfather, there is nothing in this world that grandpa can't figure out."

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and patted Zhu Yunxi's head, seeing that this bastard boy still took the initiative to stretch his head over in front of everyone, he immediately stopped and snorted coldly: "There is no shape all day!" Get this carriage moving, and we'll have a good look!"

If a carriage in the Ming Dynasty could transport 5,000 catties of things, from Yingtian to Jiubian, it would no longer be only possible to prioritize canals and shipping, and the official road transportation that was originally not valued would be reborn again. ….

Even, outside the nine-sided plug without canals and oceans, it will play a huge role!

This is the biggest benefit that Zhu Yuanzhang thought of after seeing the carriage in front of him that had been loaded with 5,000 catties of stones at first glance.

"Okay......

Zhu Yunxi dragged out his voice, and beckoned to Zhang Ergong, the two of them stood behind the crossbar at the front of the carriage, and one of them grabbed one end of the crossbar.

Zhang Ergong was just about to turn around and start the steam engine that had been boiling water for half a day.

was stopped by a figure jumping up in front of him.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still standing on the ground, staring at Zhang Ergong with anticipation on his face at this time.

Zhang Ergong hurriedly lowered his head: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Yuese: "Zhang Qing, you go down, let's drive with Taisun."

Zhang Ergong was dazed for a moment, and then nodded. How to drive, Taisun knows best, and he still learned it from Taisun.

Then he jumped out of the carriage.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened that the surrounding officials were frightened and surrounded one after another.

"Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Your Majesty is a body of thousands of dollars, and you must not drive easily."

"I am willing to do it for Your Majesty and ask for this car."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to think twice and focus on the Daming Society."

Zhu Yunxi looked back at the old man, in fact, he was looking forward to letting the old man personally come into contact with these new things.

But everything depends on whether the old man will listen to these courtiers.
