Zhu Biao opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't say a word.

What can he say?

My own dad is about to call a spade a spade.

He couldn't come back if he wanted to.

As a ruler, do you want him to say, "Yes, that's what our father and emperor meant, you can rest assured that you are bold and corrupt and take bribes"?

That's outrageous.

Zhu Biao couldn't speak.

"We'll have to go beforehand." Zhu Biao looked strange and walked away quickly.

There is a ghost chasing behind the living image.

Chu Ze, who was left in place: "......"

……

The regulations proposed by Chu Ze were quickly implemented with the acquiescence of Zhu Yuanzhang and the vigorous promotion of Zhu Biao.

Chu Ze himself also began to shut down.

Commonly known as - behind closed doors.

The real kind.

But he's standing on the shoulders of giants, and it's easier to make.

At the beginning of the steam train, it was actually very slow.

Chu Ze remembered that the speed of the first train was only more than ten kilometers per hour.

It has gone through countless updates and changes before the speed continues to accelerate.

Until the back of tens of kilometers per hour.

Not only speed, but also safety has been greatly improved.

Even in the steam engine, a safety valve was installed.

The safety valve is made of lead with a low melting point, and the water in the boiler usually overflows the safety valve. Once the water level is too low, the safety valve will be exposed to the air, and with the reduction of water, the cooling effect will gradually be lost, and the air in the pot will rise into the air, which will lead to the meltdown of the safety valve, so as to reduce the pressure in the pot and avoid the boiler explosion.

In addition to this, there is the improvement of the boiler.

Trivisick has specially built a chimney for the boiler to maximize the ventilation of the boiler, increasing the coal combustion rate and thermal efficiency.

However, the big flywheel designed by Trevisick was abandoned by Stephenson, a latecomer.

Instead, the wheels are connected directly with a connecting rod to maintain the reciprocating motion of the cylinder piston.

Even the cylinders have been changed from the original flat single cylinder to a vertical double cylinder

And the vertical boiler was changed to a horizontal fire-tube boiler, and the inner and outer firebox and smoke box were made into a whole.

Chu Ze remembered clearly that there was such a sentence in the information - "The difference between the two cylinders is half a stroke, which avoids the problem of difficulty in stopping and restarting." ”

And this set of steam train models is what Chu Ze wants to learn from.

Or plagiarism?

Well...... In his own case, yes.

But in the era he's in, it's completely uncopiable.

After all, they haven't been born yet.

However, the steam train came out of his hands, and in the future, these bigwigs will have to change their direction to study.

Chu Ze thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

Fu lowered his head again and continued to draw patterns.

What he had to do was draw all the spare parts.

Then the first concept car was built.

After the trial is correct, it will be put into production.

Drawing is time-consuming.

It is necessary to draw the shape of the part and mark the size.

It took Chu Ze a lot of thought.

until it is completely completed.

Then he immediately handed over the drawings and let the people below start working on them.

It takes time to make.

A few days ago, he was busy, and as soon as he was free today, Chu Ze felt uncomfortable.

He rubbed his chin and thought he had to find something to do.

The first thing is to go to Zuo Chong.

I talked to the Zhu family father and son last time, and I don't know if the holy decree to make Zuo Chong an imperial merchant has been issued.

Whether he had it or not, he decided to make a trip.

If you have it, you will be happy, if you don't, go over and sit down, then listen to Zuo Chong's complaints, and then go to Zhu Yuanzhang to ask for the holy decree.

With this purpose in mind, Chu Ze appeared in the living room of the Zuo family without any burden.

Zuo Chongyi was very happy when he heard that Chu Ze was coming.

Laughing and walking cheerfully.

"Lord Wang, you can be regarded as out of the customs. How's it going, the train is ready? ”

As soon as he saw Zuo Chong's expression, Chu Ze knew that the holy decree to make him an imperial merchant had arrived, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore: "You are quite well-informed." ”

Zuo Chong laughed.

"The prince's plan was said in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and we can't even think about it. What's more, during this time, Jingzhong has made a lot of moves, and these must be related to the prince, right? Zuo Chong winked mysteriously at Chu Ze.

In doing business, the most important thing is information.

He is also a wealthy businessman in the Ming Dynasty, if he can't even inquire about this little news, how else can he do business?

Zuo Chong's face gradually climbed into pride.

Chu Ze looked at him.

Zuo Chong waited for a long time, without waiting for Chu Ze to speak.

Turning his head, he just saw Chu Ze looking at him with a scrutinizing expression.

Seeing Zuo Chong, he was confused.

He wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

How do you look at us with this look?

Isn't there anything wrong with me?

Zuo Chong subconsciously lowered his head, looked at himself, and then became more puzzled.

He's in good shape, and he hasn't seen anything indecent.

Chu Ze shook his head.

"Nothing."

The two chatted for a while, and Chu Ze got up and left.

Zuo Chong enthusiastically kept him for dinner, but Chu Ze also refused.

On the way back, Chu Ze couldn't figure it out.

Zuo Chonggao was a little unexpectedly happy.

He should be happy that he got the name of the imperial merchant.

But he paid for it, and he didn't react at all.

It shouldn't be.

Unless......

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others did not express to Zuo Chong at all that he would pay.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, will he easily give up taking money from Zuo Chong?

Chu Ze felt that the possibility was not high.

He is eyeing Zuo Chong, can he still let this piece of meat fly to his mouth?

Or does Zhu Yuanzhang have other plans?

You don't plan to be a good person yourself, let him sing white face, right??

Chu Ze's expression suddenly became strange.

The good reputation is on their backs, and the bad names are on their own?

This is also a bit lacking in virtue.

Chu Ze scolded in his heart, and after he got out of the car, he put all his thoughts back in his heart, and he didn't show anything on his face.

It's just that on the second day, Chu Ze entered the palace.

Find Zhu Biao and directly explain the intention.

"Biao, you said, where is our first train station?" Chu Ze thought for a moment, "We've thought about it, our budget is limited, and Yingtian is the imperial capital, so how can this first train line have to go out from the imperial city?" The closest to Yingtian are none other than Yangzhou Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Anqing Mansion and Fengyang Mansion. Among them, Yangzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion are the closest to Yingtian, so why not set the end point of the first railway in one of these two places? ”

Zhu Biao's pen in his hand did not stop.

I listened to Chu Ze's analysis in my ears.

After listening to him, Zhu Biao replied: "What are you doing in such a hurry, isn't the train not ready yet?" It's not too late to decide on a location when it's done. ”

"It's late."

Chu Ze was categorical: "Our train must be built, during this time, the craftsmen are building parts, and we just have time, so it is better to use it and determine the clues first." At the same time as the train is made, the construction of the railway and the railway station is carried out simultaneously, and when the train is built, it can be directly activated. Isn't it better than building the same? ”
