Chapter 50: Gears
Lin Yanchen was really a headache by that Liu Yong, this kind of honest man is really troublesome!
Anyway, it's all looking for a group of tool people, what else is he bothering to pick up that matter?!
Just choose a few people and leave quickly, and work is the right way!
And the three carpenters in front of them were stunned when they heard this.
immediately reacted suddenly, and hurriedly followed Lin Yanchen's footsteps with a hippie smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, this adult is really refreshing!"
"Yes, yes, I'm really lucky to wait for today, after finishing this order, I can go home and add another concubine!"
"What's the use of having a concubine? It's just a mouthful of food, we who work every day, aren't we afraid that the concubine will steal people outside? If you have silver, you might as well go to the hook fence to play, the girls there are much stronger than the tigresses at home! ”
"Lao Wang, what you said is not right, just saying that the little concubine will steal people, then maybe your tigress will have a good relationship outside!"
……
Except for Liu Yong, who was isolated, the other nine craftsmen were chatting chaotically.
And when these people saw Lin Yanchen leading them to Xu Kun, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, they instantly quieted down and stood in two rows in an orderly manner.
It's like a primary school student who meets the head teacher, both fearful and honest.
"Xu Shilang, I have already selected the candidates, and I invite you to come and take a look, if there is no problem, the official will lead them to leave first."
Lin Yanchen bowed to Xu Kun.
Xu Kun, who was originally leaning on the wooden chair and napping, quickly jumped up when he heard the sound.
He really didn't expect Lin Yanchen to pick so quickly!
You must know that those officials are very picky when they choose craftsmen, and even the eighteen-generation family background of the craftsmen's ancestors has to be greeted.
And this Lin Yanchen didn't even have a cup of tea, so he finished picking? !
But Xu Kun didn't dare to slack off, after all, this Lin Yanchen was the emperor's person, he first stepped forward to help Lin Yanchen up, and then looked at the ten craftsmen in the back.
Originally, I was quite satisfied with the bamboo craftsmen and carpenters.
These are all big hands that are often called by the usual Shangshu adults.
Now they have all been selected by this Lord Lin in a short time, which is really good eyesight!
In fact, the carpenter was the first to be listed just now, and the one who could be confident in the front was not a simple person.
Lin Yanchen's casual wave of his hand was really lucky.
But when Xu Kun looked at Liu Yong at the end of the team, his whole face was not good.
"Lord Lin, the craftsman you chose is generally fine, it's just... The last man, I still advise you to be cautious. ”
Ha?
Lin Yanchen didn't understand a little, the craftsmen who can be in your Ministry of Industry should all be reliable masters, why does this make me cautious?
He looked in the direction Xu Kun was pointing, and met Liu Yong's eyes with a nervous face.
He frowned and asked, "Dare to ask Xu Shilang, what is special about this blacksmith master, and why should he be cautious?" ”
"Alas......" Xu Kun shook his head with a wry smile, "Although this Liu Yong is more proficient in iron-smelting than the master in his fifties, he likes to study some strange useless things all day long, I'm afraid that he will come back to mess around and ruin His Majesty's big things!" ”
Lin Yanchen understood now.
I see, there are ideas and creativity.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, and even Edison, the inventor king of his previous life, was not always said to have invented useless things when he was a child?
"Xu Shilang doesn't have to worry too much, the official knows this matter in his heart, and this Liu Yong's official is very optimistic about him! Cultivate it well, and he will become a great tool one day! ”
"Lord Lin, this ......" Xu Kun wanted to persuade him more, but looking at Lin Yanchen's appreciative expression of "the future is promising", he felt helpless.
Then he turned to the craftsmen and commanded.
"You two, go and move those objects that Liu Yong made over, and show them to Lord Lin for himself!"
Lin Yanchen didn't stop it, he just wanted to see what this Liu Yong had done, and he could get Xu Shilang's evaluation.
But Liu Yong himself was embarrassed, originally hearing Lin Yanchen's trust and praise, he was very moved, and he wanted to saddle the horse for him!
But as Xu Shilang's voice fell, his ideals were shattered again.
"If Lord Lin sees the failures I made, he will definitely be extremely disappointed in me, and he will definitely replace me at that time, alas......"
Liu Yong thought so in his heart.
After half a column of incense.
Two craftsmen, with their heads down and smiling, threw a large box of scattered objects to the ground.
"Xu Shilang, Master Lin, this is the object that Liu Yong made, and a few of them were too heavy, so I didn't bring them."
Xu Kun bowed his head lightly and waved the two away.
"Well, that's enough, you two go back."
"Yes!"
Xu Kun turned his head to look at Lin Yanchen again.
"Lord Lin, please come closer and observe it for yourself, I think you should be able to understand what this official meant before."
Lin Yanchen looked at the black thing on the ground and frowned.
Even Huaiyu, who was leaning on the stone pillar in the distance and closing his eyes to recuperate, also skimmed this side at this moment.
With the ear power and eyesight of the five-rank martial king, this distance is basically no different from that of ordinary people.
"Shhhh It's a little rough and only has five teeth, but this thing is a serious gear with a little improvement! ”
Xu Kun on the side heard this, and his face was puzzled.
"I don't know what the gear that Lord Lin is talking about, what is it? Why has this official been in the Ministry of Industry for many years and has never heard of it? ”
"Ahem, this thing was seen casually by the lower official in a miscellaneous book, Xu Shilang doesn't have to mind."
Lin Yanchen explained with an embarrassed smile, and exclaimed frantically in his heart.
it! This Liu Yong is a talent!
In this backward process, even if you make a prototype of a gear, you can make every sawtooth exactly the same, and you can't even find the slightest deviation after touching it for a long time!
You must know that this small gear is like the cell of a large machine, if it is used well, it is simply a big stride in the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty!
After that, Lin Yanchen saw screws, wrenches, nail caps and other messy small parts.
Although there is a big gap with the shape of the previous life, Lin Yanchen picked it up carefully and knew that its role was basically similar.
And it's hard to imagine that the workmanship of these parts can be so fine, and Liu Yong's ironmaking technique is by no means simple!
"Lord Lin, I'll go and call another blacksmith over, this Liu Yong is really unreliable."
Xu Kun saw Lin Yanchen squatting on the ground and frowned for a long time, thinking that he was unhappy, so he made a gesture to call a new blacksmith over.
But Lin Yanchen hurriedly got up and stopped Xu Kun.
"Xu Shilang doesn't need to say much, this Liu Yong's official is going to be decided today!"
After that, Lin Yanchen didn't want to have another incident, so he directly called Huaiyu and left.
Xu Kun was left alone in the wind.
"What's going on? What is so good about this Liu Yong that makes this Lord Lin so obsessed? ”
