Zhou Xian said with a smile: "Shouyi, the four of you still don't know a lot of basic knowledge, you have to learn from Zhang Xiucai in the future." ”

Xu Shouyi and the four of them hurriedly said yes, the four of them had always thought that they knew everything as lifters, but after coming to this monkey mountain village, they found that they didn't understand too many things, and they still needed to learn from others.

At this moment, two workers came over with a box, and the workers put the box in front of Zhou Xian and others, and when the box was opened, there were dozens of revolvers and a lot of bullets inside.

Zhao Laoyan stepped forward and picked up a revolver and six bullets from inside.

Then he loaded the bullet into the pistol, and after loading the bullet, he fired six consecutive shots at the target fifty meters away.

Everyone applauded when they saw this, and Zhao Laoyan explained: "This revolver can be loaded with six bullets at a time, and it is also very convenient to change bullets, which can be said to be a weapon for self-defense." ”

Then Zhao Laoyan took out the revolver from the box and handed them to everyone, and distributed 100 rounds of ammunition to each person.

At this time, Zhou Xian said: "Everyone gets the pistol and loads it to try it, this thing can save your life at a critical moment, I was attacked outside the capital last time, if it weren't for this revolver, whether I can still stand here and talk now is a matter of two words." ”

When everyone heard that Zhou Xian had been attacked in the capital, they all opened their mouths to be concerned.

Zhou Xian didn't let Xiang Shaoyun and Sun Wu tell Daniel Zhang, so Daniel Zhang didn't know about it yet.

Now Daniel Zhang was shocked when he heard the news and said: "Let the adults be frightened, Xiang Shaoyun and Sun Wu, the two smelly boys, bring so many people and let the adults be attacked, after reading it, I will go back and not skin them." ”

Zhou Xian waved his hand at Daniel Zhang and said: "Don't blame them, they all have things to do in the capital, I was attacked when I walked around, and thanks to Sun Wu sent me a squad of soldiers, otherwise I would really die outside the capital, and the person who attacked me found out that it was Liu Guang, a four-product official in the capital, Dali Temple Shaoqing." ”

"Liu Guang." Everyone was very unfamiliar with this name, and it had no impact at all, Daniel Zhang asked: "Did the adults find out why this Liu Guang sent people to attack the adults?" ”

Zhou Xian said: "It has been found out, because I saved a seven-grade official Chen Lufeng in the capital on the road, that Liu Guang wanted to kill Chen Lufeng, but I didn't expect that I ruined his plan and got the news that I was in the capital, so he sent someone to kill me." ”

Daniel Zhang said hatefully: "This Liu Guang really deserves to die, my lord, I took a regiment of soldiers to the capital to destroy him." ”

"Don't be impulsive, we don't have such a big force now, it will be very troublesome to go to the capital to kill him, and then the court will think that we have rebelled and send troops to suppress us, we can't turn the other face with the court now, and when we grow stronger, we have a chance to kill this Liu Guang."

When Daniel Zhang heard Zhou Xian's analysis, he did not insist on going to the capital to kill Liu Guang, but still said: "When I return to the barracks, I must teach these two stinky boys a good lesson." ”

At this time, Zhou Fugui said: "My lord, you went to the capital this time and were frightened, don't go out in the future, if something happens to you, our Monkey Mountain Village will be finished." ”

Zhou Xian said with a smile: "Well, I won't go out again in the future, and going out in a carriage is also a crime, okay, let's go and practice how to use a revolver first." ”

Next, under the guidance of Zhao Laoyan and others, everyone learned how to shoot.

After everyone tried it, they all fell in love with this revolver, this is really a treasure for self-defense, with this revolver their life safety is much more guaranteed.

Zhou Xian saw that everyone was almost practicing, so he said to everyone: "Everyone has practiced almost, and there are still those who are proficient in practice, I have time to come here to practice, and then we will go to the steam engine workshop to see how the steam engine is developed." ”

Everyone put away the revolver and bullets, and went to the steam engine workshop under the leadership of Zhao Bugui, the captain of the steam unit.

The steam engine workshop was very large, and Zhou Xian and others saw that many workers were busy as soon as they walked into the workshop, and they didn't notice the arrival of Zhou Xian and others at all.

At this time, Zhao Bugui shouted to the workers, "Everyone stop, adults are here to inspect." ”

When the workers heard the voice of the team leader, they looked over here and saw so many people coming.

They all put down their work and walked to Zhou Xian's side, there were more than 90 workers here, and Qian Si and Li Zhen stood at the front of the workers.

Zhou Xian looked at these workers and said with some emotion: "You have worked hard to develop the steam engine. ”

The workers exclaimed, "We don't work hard, we don't work hard for the steam engine." ”

Zhou Xian nodded and said: "You are all good, in the future, your monthly money will rise to ten taels of silver a month, the team leader Zhao Bugui and the deputy team leader Qian Si and Li Zhen will have a monthly salary of fifty taels of silver per month, and there will be rewards after the successful development of the steam engine." ”

When the workers heard that the monthly money had risen to ten taels of silver, they immediately became elated and shouted, "Thank you, sir." ”

Zhou Xian waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

After seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhou Xian said: "The steam engine you made is very important and is our top priority, you must be careful and careful not to make mistakes." ”

When the workers heard Zhou Xian's words, they all felt the pressure on their bodies, but they didn't expect their work to be so important.

Zhou Xian continued: "Okay, let's talk about that, let's go back to work, let's visit the steam engine ourselves." ”

After the workers agreed, they returned to their posts, and Zhou Xian and everyone came to the steam engine to watch.

The overall steam engine has been completed, exactly the same as what Zhou Xian taught them.

This steam engine was the size of two horse-drawn carriages, with a large boiler, a gas release valve, and a crankshaft connecting rod rotation device, and it seemed that it would be all done in two or three days.

Everyone in the back was shocked to see such a big steel monster placed here.

They had never seen anything so complicated, although everyone didn't know what this thing was and what it was for, but just after hearing what Zhou Xian said so solemnly, they knew that this must be a great thing.

At this time, Xu Shouyi asked Zhou Xian, "Master, is this big guy a steam engine?" What does this steam engine do. ”

"That's right, this is the steam engine, this steam engine is a treasure, with it we can enter the age of steam, enter the industrial age."

"What is the age of steam and the age of industry?"

"With the steam engine, our production can be replaced by the steam engine, its efficiency is dozens of times hundreds of times that of labor, you think that it used to take at least half a month for a person to weave a piece of cloth, now with a steam engine can weave ten pieces of cloth a day, a steam engine can replace hundreds of workers, it is not afraid of tiredness without rest, can work non-stop for twelve hours a day."

Hearing this, Xu Shouyi and the people behind him all gasped.

This steam engine is also too terrifying, one steam engine can replace hundreds of workers, and the efficiency of production after that is unimaginable.
