As long as it derails, it will inevitably overturn, and there is no problem even if the newly built courtyard wall on the side collapses.

However, although the iron car has been rocking slightly, there is no sign of derailment.

After a circle, everyone's faces were full of excitement and excitement.

Especially the group of craftsmen who have been running behind the iron car, watching with their own eyes the tens of thousands of catties of iron carts they have worked so hard to build, without oxen and horses, they can run with only charcoal, and they feel that their bodies are dozens of catties lighter.

It's a fetish!

"Your Highness, this iron car can be regarded as a success!"

Getting off the iron car, Xu Cai leaned in front of Guo An and asked with a happy face.

"Even though it ran as fast as a carriage, it was a success!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Xu Cai, Tao Yizhen and others were suddenly full of joy.

"But ......"

As soon as Guo An's words came out, everyone looked at him with nervous faces.

"Isn't it a bit cheesy to keep calling it an iron car when you burn charcoal and you can run it?"

“……”

Xu Cai, Tao Yizhen and the others were stunned, and then nodded again and again.

"What His Highness said is extremely true!"

Guo An said: "Since it is an iron car that can be driven by burning charcoal, it is called a train!" ”

"Trains?"

Xu Cai, Tao Yizhen and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, what is the difference between this and the iron car?

The only difference is that this name was given by the king of Shunde County!

"Wonderful!"

"His Royal Highness the King of the County is really talented, the cart drawn by oxen is called an ox cart, the carriage drawn by a horse is a carriage, and the car driven by fire is called a train!"

"Your Highness......"

Guo An was speechless.

"Alright, alright!"

Guo An waved his hand helplessly, and continued to ask: "Can the speed of the train be faster?" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Cai nodded directly again and replied, "It's just that His Highness is above, I don't dare to speed up!" ”

"Then I'll stand down and watch!"

Guo An said directly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Xu Cai, Tao Yizhen and others were immediately overjoyed.

As a master, how can there be no one who is not crazy?

Soon.

The train's boiler was blazing again, and puffs of black smoke came out, and the train shuddered and sprang forward.

This time, it's noticeably much faster.

Of course, the jitter of the train is also greater.

"Cheating! Fast brakes, brake ......"

Suddenly, with a frightened roar, the whole train slammed forward, and then slammed into the courtyard wall outside.

A long mark was drawn on the courtyard wall, and the carriage behind it also fell on the courtyard wall.

By the time Guo An and the others caught up, Xu Cai, Tao Yizhen and others had already climbed out of the train.

However, everyone did not panic in the slightest, and some were just depressed.

"Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness, the villain and others have disappointed Your Highness!"

"We weren't disappointed!"

Guo An smiled slightly and comforted: "Even if you want to make a luxury carriage, you have to go through several improvements.

Not to mention the novelty of the train!

Okay, since the experiment went wrong, let's find out the problem and correct it. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Tao Yizhen and Xu Cai's expressions slowed slightly, and they hurriedly responded.

Then, the two bowed slightly to Guo An, ran to the side of the train, and the group studied it carefully for a long time.

"Your Highness, it's because of the wheels!"

"Wheels?"

Guo An's brows furrowed slightly, he stepped forward, took a look, and understood.

"The steel on the inside of the wheel is cracked?"

"Exactly!"

Xu Cai nodded in response.

Guo Andao: "Then re-forge the wheel, and the inner protruding ring of steel should be forged thicker!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Huh?"

As he was talking, Guo An suddenly saw something, his eyes narrowed slightly, he squatted down directly, groped for a moment on the wheels of the train, and then looked at Xu Cai again.

"You didn't make the wheels tilted according to my drawings?"

"Tilt?"

Xu Cai, Tao Yizhen and the others tightened their scalps, "Your Highness forgives your sins, the villain still thinks that His Highness drew it wrong, how can there be wheels that are tilted?" ”

"Definitely going to tilt!"

Guo An sighed helplessly, "If you don't tilt, when the train turns, do you think that the inner wheels and the outer wheels will walk as much?" ”

"It's different!"

After thinking for a while, Tao Yizhen, Xu Cai and the others replied.

They have all taken some physics courses, so they know the difference in the size of the inner diameter.

"So, if the wheel is smooth, won't the outer wheel go a little longer than the inside wheel when cornering?"

"Exactly!"

Xu Cai, Tao Yizhen and others nodded slowly again.

"But isn't it incongruous that the wheels on both sides are the same size, but they travel different distances?"

Guo An said again, "In this way, the outer wheels go so far, but the inner wheels go so little, under the action of inertia, won't the train deviate from the track?" ”

“……”

Tao Yizhen, Xu Cai and others widened their eyes and their faces were full of surprise.

"That's what happened!"

"Your Highness's knowledge is really unfathomable!"

Guo An asked again: "When you test it with a mold now, the train has not derailed?" ”

Tao Yizhen smiled, "Back to Your Highness, there really hasn't been such a situation!" ”

"That's your shit luck!"

Guo An snorted speechlessly, and said: "First change the wheel to the shape of an awl, the outer side should be lower than the inner side, and then use the mold to test!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Tao Yizhen, Xu Cai and others hurriedly responded.

"In addition, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, just ask me directly!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

“……”

Subsequently, Tao Yizhen and Xu Cai and others explained again, and Guo An left the steel workshop.

Fortunately.

The steel workshop occupies a relatively large area, and the train workshop is still at the innermost, and the movement of the train derailment does not affect other workshops.

After leaving the steel workshop, Guo An went to the glass workshop, the carriage workshop, the sugar workshop, and the white paper workshop in turn...... And so on, more than a dozen workshops went around.

Inspired by the craftsmen, he got into the carriage and began to leave.

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the military academy to have a look?"

After leaving the workshop park, Xu Yong suddenly asked.

"To the military academy?"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, stared at Xu Yong for a long time, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"The kid in your family seems to be the eldest is not small!"

"Hehe, Your Highness is wise, the eldest son of the last general, he is already eleven years old this year!"

Xu Yong hurriedly said.

Guo An asked again: "That kid doesn't like to read?" ”

Xu Yong smiled bitterly, "Your Highness Mingjian, the rabbit cub in the last general's house, he had a headache when he saw the book, and several sticks with thick arms were broken by the last general."

But what gave the last general a headache was that the skin of the little rabbit cub was getting thicker and thicker, but the number of words he could read did not increase! ”

"And Guo Lu's kid is a bastard!"

Guo An shook his head helplessly, "Then let's take a look, it just so happens that I haven't been to the military academy for a long time!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong hurriedly bowed.

Guo An waved his hand, "No need to thank you first, I haven't been here a few times since the military academy was built."

Whether you can get in or not, it's not certain! ”

Xu Yong was also stunned, and he also remembered, as if his own county king had never been here once after the military academy was completed.

The guards around the military academy don't seem to know their own county kings.

Thinking about it, Xu Yong bowed his hand, "Everything is in accordance with His Highness's orders!" ”

Guo An said: "Let's go, go and see!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong hurriedly responded.

Immediately, a group of guards escorted Guo An's carriage and went all the way to the innermost part of General Mountain.

It's just that Guo An and his party didn't go far.

A team of soldiers suddenly appeared in front, holding steel knives and crossbows, staring at Xu Yong and the others tightly, with a solemn face.

It's just that the big red armor on top and bottom of the body is very inconsistent with those soldiers, and it is loose and loose on the body.

There is no sense of majesty, but a bit of a second-rate feeling.

"This place is a forbidden area, I don't know who you are? Is there a letter from the Governor's Office, or an edict from His Majesty? ”

Seeing this, Xu Yong and the guards looked relaxed.

"Your Highness, it's a bunch of little kids!"

"Little kid?"

Guo An, who had just poked his head out, was stunned for a moment, and then looked forward with curiosity on his face, and couldn't help laughing.

"As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, the military department actually didn't prepare the right armor for you?"

Seeing the expressions on the faces of Xu Yong and the others, Bian Dayong, Geng Qi and the others couldn't help but feel a little angry.

However, after hearing Guo An's intimate words, his expression eased slightly.

"I wonder which His Highness is coming?"

Guo An said directly: "I am Guo An, the king of Shunde County!" ”

"Today, I happened to come to General Mountain to see those workshops, and while there was still some time, I wanted to go into the military academy to have a look, I wonder if I can go in?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Shunde?"

Bian Dayong, Geng Qi and the others suddenly looked at Guo An with surprise on their faces, and they were a little incredulous.

"You are His Royal Highness the King of Shunde?"

Guo An smiled slightly, "Self-sufficient!" I don't think anyone in General Mountain dares to pretend to be me, right? ”

Geng Qi nodded hurriedly, "I don't dare to let anyone pretend to be you!" ”

Immediately, the crowd hurriedly bowed their hands.

"I'll wait to see His Royal Highness the County King!"

Guo An did not return the salute, but said with a solemn face: "Since you are wearing my Ming armor and holding my Ming weapon, you will be my Ming general!" ”

Bian Dayong, Geng Qi and the others were stunned, glanced at each other, a trace of excitement flashed on their faces, and shouted loudly.

"The last general will see His Royal Highness the King of the County!"

"That's what it looks like!"

Guo An smiled slightly, "Since you are my Ming general, you should have the momentum of my Ming general!" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

Guo An nodded lightly and asked, "Can I go to the military academy?" ”

Bian Dayong, Geng Qi and the others glanced at each other again, their faces full of determination.

"Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness, without the seal of the Governor's Mansion and His Majesty's decree, of course the last general cannot let anyone enter the military academy!"

Xu Yong's expression was angry, his face was full of dissatisfaction, "Why are you like this? The military academy was built by His Royal Highness the King of the County, do you still want His Royal Highness the King of the County to send someone to ask His Majesty for an order first?

Since you are all my Ming soldiers, you are also your own family. Why are you so brainless, even if you let His Royal Highness the King of the County in, your superiors and Your Majesty will not blame you! ”

Geng Qi clasped his fists and saluted Guo An again, "Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness, we are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we dare not disobey the military order!" ”

"You little bunnies......"

Xu Yong was immediately furious.

"It's okay!"

Guo An smiled instead, "As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, I should not be afraid of the powerful." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your compliment!"

Seeing that Guo An was not annoyed, Bian Dayong, Geng Qi and the others, their faces flashed with a trace of surprise again, and they were not sure whether this county king was really praising them or an old yin and yang person.

Guo An waved his hand and said, "Okay, although you can't show favoritism, you are also going to report to your Shangguan now!" ”

"The last general obeys the order, please wait a moment for Your Highness!"

Geng Qi hurriedly answered, then gave a few orders to a few soldiers on the side, and then ran inside quickly.

didn't let Guo An wait long, Geng Qi ran back again out of breath.

Behind him, he was followed by a group of generals.

"The last general, Xu Zengshou, see His Royal Highness the King of Shunde County!"

"The last general, Geng Xuan, see His Royal Highness the King of the County!"

"The last general, Zhu Liang, see His Royal Highness the King of the County!"

"The Last General ......"

"Rise up, everybody!"

Guo An laughed, and then said again: "I came to the workshop today, just to have more time, I want to see how the military academy is?"

I wonder if I can go in and have a look? ”

"You can!"

Xu Zengshou hurriedly said, "It is an honor for His Highness to come to the military academy, and it is too late for the last general and others to welcome him!" ”

"That's it!"

Guo An smiled slightly, followed Xu Zengshou and Zhu Liang and others, and walked in.

Behind.

Bian Dayong, Geng Qi and others were suddenly paralyzed, and everyone was full of horror.

"We actually stopped His Royal Highness the County King!"

"That shouldn't hold a grudge against us, right?"

"Looking at the expression of that highness, it seems that he doesn't care about our obstruction!"

"That is, what kind of identity are we, what kind of identity is that highness, how can you hate us?"

"I hope so......"

As soon as he entered the gate of the military academy, Guo An heard a shout of killing.

In the wide training ground in the distance, hundreds of soldiers, under the leadership of one captain, are practicing or running!

"Your Highness, now there are more than 1,200 cadets and soldiers in the entire military academy.

Among them, 500 are the children of more than 1,000 military households in my Ming Dynasty, and the remaining 700 are all children with good qualifications selected from various military households in my Ming Dynasty! ”

Guo An asked, "Are there many masters who teach them to read?" ”

Xu Zengshou replied directly: "Back to Your Highness, there are currently fifty masters!" ”

"Enough!"

Guo An nodded slowly, and asked again: "Are these soldiers and trainees easy to discipline?" ”

Xu Zengshou said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, rest assured, there is an end, they don't dare to make a mistake!" ”

"That's it!"

Guo An nodded thoughtfully.

"In the military academy, it must be fair and just, and you can't favor anyone just because some of the cadets and soldiers are the children of the princes, and some are ordinary military households!

In this way, it is not good for those students, but it will intensify the hatred of other soldiers and students against them.

In the military academy, with you pressing, nothing will happen.

But if you leave the military academy and go to the battlefield, you will be stabbed in the back......"

Hearing this, Xu Zengshou, Zhu Liang and others hurriedly assured.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general and others will definitely be treated equally!"

"Hmm!"
