The words are divided into two ends.

Here, Chang'an City is boiling, and everyone is talking about what kind of factory Master Ma is going to make.

On the other side, the suburbs of Beijing.

In the mountains of the western suburbs, a building has been quietly and silently erected.

It's a school.

Lu Heng looked at the territory he had planned for a while in front of him with satisfaction.

The area of the school is not very large, but fortunately the mountain is not steep, and it is built on the mountain, and the slightly flat area is expanded into a playground, and the rest is built into rows of low bungalows.

Directly above the mountain gate, there is a plaque carved in stone——

Tech School!

"Boy, didn't you cooperate with the family to build that factory, why did you urgently ask me to start a school?"

Lao Cheng is the main person in charge of this project, although the money was paid by Lu Heng out of his own pocket, but Cheng Biting Jin also made a great effort.

Hearing him ask, Lu Heng laughed, and then suddenly asked:

"Uncle Cheng, do you think the trains and tracks I want to get can be easily understood by ordinary people?"

"I won't talk about the rest of this thing, just the iron itself...... A track that can withstand tens of thousands of pounds of weight can be built casually? ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a while.

Tens of thousands of pounds?

Could it be that the so-called train actually has this kind of weight?!

Lu Heng raised his hand.

With the current level of science and technology in Datang, it is already very good to be able to make an early steam locomotive, and if he wants to move forward, in addition to his own theoretical knowledge, the hard conditions of other materials will definitely not be able to keep up.

In the early steam trains, a locomotive was at least thirty or forty tons, and the body was almost hundreds of tons.

One meal is two thousand catties.

Just told Cheng that he was biting tens of thousands of catties, all for fear of scaring him, so he said it low.

In addition to the rails, the steam engine was also a problem.

Lu Heng was sure that he could restore these mechanical drawings, but he had to ensure the accuracy of the steel output and parts before he could start mass production.

In this era, it was not difficult to build a steam locomotive, and in the early days, it was not necessary to use rubber products, and iron was as good as concocted cowhide and tendon, but the problem was how to standardize.

All the parts on the car are consumables, if it fails to be mass-produced, is it possible to directly change to a new car after it breaks?

The steelmaking factory can be done first, after all, the steelmaking technology is easy to say, the labor force is selected to be young and strong, and the remaining technology to be kept secret can be directly handed over to the royal craftsmen, and the leakage of the secret is the matter of the whole family cutting off the head, and they will not dare to mess around.

However, technical talents must be cultivated.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the steam engine on the road, it is impossible to let Lu Heng follow the car at any time!

This is the fundamental reason for the construction of this school.

"But who are you going to recruit as a student?"

Cheng Yanjin was still a little dazed:

"If it is a powerful person and a child of a family, the old man feels that they will not be able to stay in this place that is more bitter than the barracks......"

"Besides, your kid will definitely not be so generous, this kind of knowledge can be taught to the five surnames and seven wangs and other mortal enemies casually."

"Could it be...... Are you going to make up your mind about the cold door again? ”

It was the closest he could guess the result.

In addition, Lao Cheng really can't think of any other candidates!

But Lu Heng didn't answer, just smiled mysteriously and shook his head.

Cheng Biting Jin was angry: "You kid, sell Guanzi again, Lao Tzu will hang you on the wall of the Vermilion Bird Gate!" ”

Lu Heng: ......

Tsk, that's boring.

If you don't agree with each other, you will make threats, why is Lao Cheng still like this!

He smashed his mouth and said:

"If you want to choose students, of course, you don't choose from a powerful family, but you don't want to be from a poor family."

"Uncle Cheng, what is the cold door? Although they are down-and-out now, counting up two or three generations, they are still from the gate valve, but the size is different. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're from such a family."

"Then think about it, if you were young, someone asked you to go to an unknown place to learn the so-called technology, and you were still in the mountains, and it is estimated that you will not be able to see your family for half a year, and you will have to settle for work, and the most terrible thing is that you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and you will be beheaded directly if you leak secrets."

"Are you willing to learn this kind of knowledge?"

Cheng Yanjin was silent for a long time, sighed and shook his head.

That's right, although he was born recklessly back then, and even worked as a bandit to rob his house, he can still comfort himself that he is making trouble in troubled times.

It has been more than ten or twenty years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the world has been peaceful for a long time, even if natural disasters are rampant, people with a little background in their ancestors may still choose to study.

The gate valve is born with the same problem-

Pretentious.

Even if it is a poor family, it is also from a gate valve.

The so-called Shinong industry and commerce have clear classes.

But as long as he can survive, he would rather have his head broken in the imperial examination for a lifetime, and he categorically refuses to fall into the business register to do business.

The artisans are only a little higher than the merchants, and they are not much better.

In addition, His Majesty has been doing his best to promote free books, and poor scholars have the opportunity to read and buy books, so the road to the imperial examination is better than before.

Look at it this way......

What Lu Heng said is indeed true.

If you want the children of poor families to enter this "technical school", it is even more difficult for them to be completely convinced!

After a while, Cheng Biting Jincai asked again: "Then what kind of person do you want to come here as a student?" ”

Lu Heng touched his chin and smiled.

"What else could it be? Of course, you are very poor, and it is better to be the kind that can't even afford to eat! ”

"The Hanmen looks down on craftsmen, and those who don't even have a place of origin, can't they dislike this?"

………………

Inside Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian, who was dressed in disguise, was wearing an ordinary green shirt bought in a street shop and stood at the mouth of an alley.

He stared at the group of unkempt teenagers in the alley, feeling helpless.

Why are you so unlucky...... I was called by Lu Heng to do this kind of errand!

Hearing Li Chengqian's sigh, another young man on the side was also full of grievances.

It was Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo struggled for a long time before turning his head to look at Li Chengqian and said:

"Temple...... No, Brother Gao Ming, don't you think that kid from Sunrise is too much? Tell us to come to the beggars to collect students, who can we receive! ”

Anyway, one of them is the crown prince of the dynasty, and the other is also the eldest son of the Duke of Lu.

With such an identity, he came to the most chaotic beggar pile in Chang'an, and he came to find students.

It's outrageous!

Li Chengqian sighed and didn't know if it was the first breath of the day.

"What can you do? He promised us, the first train was called Zhenguan, the second was called Gaoming, and the third was called Chumo. ”

"For this alone, no matter how outrageous things are, you have to do them head-on!"

"I'm not happy now, why didn't you object when he said that we should be named honorary masters of the academy?"

Cheng Chumo's teeth were about to be crushed.

Even if he wanted to flip the table again......

But with his own name, naming the third car in the world that can travel thousands of miles a day, who can resist this temptation?!
