Chapter 686: The Beginning of Home
Master Jiang was surprised and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei is a good boy, he is honest, knows the number of etiquette, and is very kind. ”
Zhang Yang frowned and was silent, falling into deep thought, in terms of pretending to be a child, King Wei was still as experienced as ever.
"It is said that Your Majesty is holy and benevolent today, and you shouldn't quarrel with Your Majesty."
Master Jiang is a very simple person, a simple person has simple emotions, he has never seen the deceit in the court, nor has he felt the emperor's calculations.
For his old man, the court is the court, and His Majesty is His Majesty, which cannot be said or discussed.
Zhang Yang pondered with his hands, in fact, the master is very good like this, at least he doesn't have so many worries.
As he spoke, Master Jiang hurriedly walked back again, took out a box from the house, he opened the box and said, "Look, there are still a few silver cakes in here, which the old man has saved over the years, so I will give it to you." ”
Lishan has always given a lot of wages, especially Master Jiang, the technical backbone of Lishan.
It is not easy for the master to save these silver money, it is said that there is everything to eat, wear, live and travel in Lishan, and there is no place to spend money, so it is easy to save money.
In fact, this is all the salary that Lishan gave to his old man, and his old man still thinks about himself.
Zhang Yang looked up at the sky, and it was most difficult to refuse such care from his elders.
Seeing that his old man put this box outside the door, maybe he didn't know how rich his family was.
Now there are millions of silver dollars in the treasury of Lishan, and if you don't collect it, it will inevitably hurt the master's heart.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "In this way, in the future, I plan to arrange more benefits for the technical backbone of the village, and I will use these silver money to build the academy in the future, and you are always the first investment." ”
Hearing this, Master Jiang nodded slightly, "Oh, you still have to open a academy." ”
"Yes, to open a academy, not only for Lishan, the development of Lishan has limitations after all, I didn't think it before, but now I can feel it."
"Your doll is not like us anymore."
After saying this, Master Jiang's face was a little more lost.
talked to Master Jiang about the past, it turned out that after giving him the general's satin knife, he responded to the government's arrangement and went to the ordnance supervision office.
I chatted with the old master for a while, and I laughed when I talked about the two of them being lazy together in the blacksmith workshop in the west of the city.
The night gradually deepened, and Aunt Yang hugged Xin'an, who had fallen asleep.
Let Master Jiang hug the child, looking at the child's sleeping face, his old man forgot for a while that this was the child of the county marquis and the princess in front of him.
"Master Jiang, I may have to leave Lishan for a few days recently."
He carefully handed over the child in his arms to his aunt, "It's okay, the old man will help you watch the blacksmith workshop, and if your child is not productive in the future, come to learn the blacksmith trade with the old man, and pass on the craft of most of his life to him." ”
"Thank you, master." Li Yue bowed.
When leaving, Master Jiang stood in front of the door to say goodbye.
In the village, there are lights in every house, and occasionally there is the sound of laughter in the houses of each house, and the barking of dogs from among the houses in the village.
Lisan Mountain under the starry sky is beautiful, and the moonlight is bright tonight.
Walking up to Lishan, Zhang Yang stood on the mountain and looked down, perhaps in the eyes of others, Lishan is a novel village.
But for Zhang Yang, this place always gives him a very old feeling.
Since ancient times, it has been the hinterland of Guanzhong, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan River are full of legends.
Not to mention the first emperor who was silent at the foot of Li Mountain, I don't know if it was in the mausoleum.
I can't help but feel awe in my heart and feel nostalgic for this homeland.
Li Yue came with a bowl of oats, "Taste it?" ”
After taking the bowl she handed over, the daughter-in-law's craftsmanship knew at a glance that the oats were too mushy.
Putting away the hem of her skirt, she also sat on the stone next to her and looked at the peaceful Lishan Mountain.
After a while, she whispered, "The children are already asleep." ”
Zhang Yang shook the fan in his hand and nodded.
The night was very cold, Li Yue tilted his head and advised: "It's just autumn, and the weather is so cold, don't shake the fan, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Looking at the village in front of him, Zhang Yang thought about his daughter-in-law's words and sighed, "When I am free, I don't hold a fan in my hand, and I always feel that something is missing." ”
Hearing this, Li Yue smiled and said, "Yes, the habit is formed, and it is always inseparable." ”
Her voice seemed to be teasing, and the snoring of the bear was heard again, and the couple went back to the house to rest.
The steam engine ran for three days and three nights before it stopped.
Li Tai pushed away the drawings sent, "Brother Niu, you can just read the drawings in the future, and this king won't look at them." ”
Niu Chuang was curious: "Why?" ”
"I have a disease that causes me to vomit when I look at the drawings."
I see, Niu Chuang nodded slightly.
When he opened the water tank of the steam engine, he saw that the copper pipe inside had been deformed, Li Tai drilled into the steam engine that could no longer run, removed the copper pipe that had been burned and deformed on the top edge, and said in a low voice: "Most of the deformation is caused by adding water, and it will be like this when it is cold and hot." ”
Master Jiang has been in a very good mood recently, and he has not felt sorry for Zhang Yang's confession.
Li Tai replaced the copper pipes, climbed out of the steam engine the size of the house, and had people fill the tank with water, and when the coal continued to be added to the water that burned inside, two hours later, the water inside began to boil.
By the time the whistle sounded at noon, the steam engine was finally up and running.
Of course, the village also needed to build a few more steam engines, which would be used in the assembly lines of the factory.
Li Tai also wanted to try to increase the power, and said in a low voice: "Brother Niu, if we try to increase the air pressure inside, we will blow up the stove." ”
Niu Chuang nodded and said: "I have fried it a few times before, and it takes a little bit of trial to get the maximum effect and make the steam engine run stably." ”
For everyone, this is the first time they have been exposed to something so large and complex.
This is the blind man touching the elephant, and there are many factors to consider.
This kind of thing is not as difficult as technical research, as long as you try a few more times, record the causes of overload a few times, and accumulate experience.
Master Jiang drank tea and said, "Old man, I thought that by listening to the sound of this whistle, you can know the size of the internal air pressure, so as to know when you can open the air valve to exhaust." ”
The master's statement is also very reasonable, and you can judge whether it has reached the limit by judging whether it is hasty or not by judging whether it is in a hurry or not.
Niu Chuang felt that a pneumatic buoy could be added to the interior, and when the ultimate load of the steam engine was tested, it could be deflated in time according to the position of the buoy, so that the internal operation of the furnace could find a maintenance point.
This maintenance point should not be too low, nor too high, and it is more intuitive than listening to the whistle of the master.
Li Tai handed over these things to Niu Chuang to arrange, and left on his own.
After the completion of the steam engine, Li Tai's whole person was sublimated from the previous state, and after no longer looking at the drawings, his life returned to the previous state.
The court is going to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and today is the day when the emperor wants to return to Chang'an City, and he unknowingly arrives at the autumn equinox.
Zhang Yang and Li Yue wanted to bid farewell to their younger siblings, and before leaving Lishan, they also specially assigned a lot of homework to their younger siblings, so that they could continue to do homework when they returned to the palace and consolidate what they had learned in the past two months.
So much so that Gao Yang and Qinghe, as well as the young slaves, felt that today's father was very kind to him as never before.
The couple walked down the mountain, and Zhang Yang said with a smile: "These little ones have no conscience, and they have to take away their toys." ”
"I don't know if they still have so many games to play in the palace, and if anyone repairs their toys."
Zhang Yang took her hand and watched His Majesty's family pack up their luggage to leave, and Shangguan Yi prepared a cart of fruits and vegetables outside the village, which His Majesty wanted to bring to the palace to prepare for the banquet.
In order to make Taifu Temple more convenient in the future, the deal reached with the emperor was to promote the cultivation of a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The two aunts also prepared their bags on the mountain, Aunt Wang had to stay on the mountain to watch the house, and there were still five bears to take care of.
The little bear is very active when the little master is leaving, as if they know that after the little master leaves, they will be free for a while.
Usually, Xiao Qingqing doesn't call them less.
Before leaving, Zhang Yang walked to the other side of the crowd, where Niu Chuang was standing.
"The county marquis, the last thirty kitchen utensils were also sent to Persia, and the Gaochang people escorted them all the way."
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "There is Brother Lao Niu." ”
Niu Chuang was the first person to follow the county marquis, and similarly, he was also the leader of Lishan's technical backbone in addition to Li Tai.
Now his technical skills are also among the top in Lishan, and he is very good at both copper tube casting and cast iron refining.
Thanks to his hard work over the years, he was able to keep up with the progress of Lishan.
Niu Chuang is now nearly forty years old, and at his age, his learning ability is not as good as back then, and it is not as good as Li Tai's age.
It is not easy to change the way of thinking, let alone to relearn the same skill at this age, from the original carpentry work to blacksmithing.
It's like a person who is nearly 40 years old and moves from a field of expertise to a new field, which requires a lot of perseverance and energy.
It was not easy for him to achieve what he is today.
Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Niu, let's stop in the future, I don't think the matter in Liaodong can be hidden." ”
"The county marquis means that Your Majesty will soon know."
Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "Well, in Liaodong, there are not only spies from the Foreign Affairs Academy, but also His Majesty's eyeliner, but the incident happened in Goguryeo, and the news from Liaodong came slowly." ”
This is also the reason why the iron weapon was protected in the first place and hidden from everyone.
Because Zhang Yang doesn't know how many eyes are staring at Liaodong now.
Niu Chuang said in a low voice: "Do you need to do something next?" ”
Zhang Yang sighed: "You don't have to do anything, forget about firearms." ”
"Since there is a share in the next, we must advance and retreat with the county marquis."
Niu Chuang is a very righteous person, and he may really do it when he says that he will advance and retreat together.
Zhang Yang smiled: "That's not it, I'll go to Chang'an to live for a few days, and I'll come back when the firearms are over." ”
Niu Chuang's eyes looked at Zhang Yang for a long time and he was speechless, and the county marquis in front of him, who was only twenty-seven years old, seemed to be carrying a lot on his shoulders.
The Emperor's family was ready to drive.
Aunt Yang also prepared the car, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui also packed their luggage.
I have been in Lishan for three years, and I have been away from my small home in Chang'an City for three years.
Princess Runan's car was behind Her Majesty's car, also escorted by the royal guards.
Zhang Yang got into the car, looked back at the three hippos not far away, and waved his hand to the horse with a smile.
It raised its front hooves and hissed, and ran back to Lishan.
In the car, Li Yue saw a flintlock pistol in the baggage, which was the most successful gun made by his husband.
Zhang Yang advised: "If things change, this gun can be used for self-defense." ”
These days, Li Yue can also faintly feel that her husband has something on her mind, otherwise she would not have watched the village sit alone for so long at night.
She put away the flintlock pistol, "At the beginning, we said that no matter whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we will go down together." ”
Zhang Yang smiled: "Well, let's go down together." ”
The emperor's humanity is the weakest, and when he learns about the existence of firearms, no one knows what he will do.
At this time, Zhang Yang felt that God was helping him.
Of course, negotiating conditions with the emperor depends on strength, and when you don't have the strength to negotiate conditions with the emperor, then you will become a piece of fat to be slaughtered in the eyes of the emperor.
This time I went to Chang'an City to negotiate with the emperor about the conditions, some things must be faced, if you don't face it, the reality will give you a more painful blow.
Today's weather is very good, the car is driving very slowly, Li Yue took out the meat buns made at home from the baggage, "The meat buns were made by Aunt Wang in the morning." ”
Zhang Yang took the meat bun and sat on the wheel to eat.
All the way from Lishan, the emperor's car was going to pass from Longshouyuan, and he was going to inspect the excavation project of the current Taiye Pond.
The couple's car stopped when they arrived at Chunmingmen, and walked into Chang'an City with the family's luggage.
The path home is as secluded as ever, with more moss than usual.
The more he walked into that small home, the better Li Yue's mood became.
Turning another alley, the alley is still unchanged, and the surrounding houses are still deserted, and there are no people living there.
Because the houses here are so dilapidated that the land here cannot be sold, and the streets and alleys are in a state of no one to take care of.
If someone steals something from the house one day, no government will come to ask.
As long as the emperor is unwilling to rebuild here, this place has always been desolate, and when the emperor has the idea to rebuild this place, and place a Li Zheng who manages the streets and alleys here, then this is one of the one hundred and eight fang markets in Chang'an City.
Walking to the door of his house, Li Yue held her daughter's hand, her aunt also held the little one in her arms, Xu Hui and Xiao Wu stood aside, and everyone was quiet for a while.
Xiao Qingqing looked around curiously, and said in a low voice: "Mother, where is this?" ”
Li Yue said in a low voice: "This is where your father and mother first lived, and it is also the place where our family first started. ”
Stepping forward, Zhang Yang opened the door lock, pushed open the old wooden door and squeaked, and the door opened into a clean small courtyard.
There is a vegetable patch in front of the door, and there are a lot of weeds growing in the vegetable patch.
Looking at this quiet small courtyard, it seems that you can see the appearance of your previous life, and in a trance, you can feel the laughter here, and the figure of the daughter-in-law digging the ground to bury money.
The couple looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.
It's very tiring to have a Tanabata today.,I'm really sorry to get up late.,There's a chapter for the time being today.,The supplement will be arranged.,The plot has reached the stage of ending.。
Ask for a monthly pass here, ask for a monthly pass!
