Chapter 389: Longing for the Steam Age
Just as you need to take the water route when you come, you still have to take the water route when you go back.
It's just that Zhong Shuyu still has to pay when he comes, and this time Zhong Shuyu doesn't need to pay, including the three people she brought with her, this is one of the privileges of the person who is lifted.
In addition, every person who lifts a jinshi can hang a ship under his name, and this ship does not have to pay customs duties when entering and leaving any wharf in the country, which can be said to save a lot of money.
So someone will come up with someone to make a mutually beneficial deal.
That is to say, after the lift, even if you are from a farmer's family, you basically don't have to worry about the source of silver, at least it is enough for your own use.
For example, now, Zhong Shuyu had just gotten off the carriage and had not yet entered the dock, when someone saw Zhong Shuyu's dress and stepped forward to talk, "Is it a lifting man?" Can you take a few small people for a ride, and the villain is willing to pay half of the money. ” wap.f❋✱engs❈huge✡.in✿fo
However, today's Zhong Shuyu is not short of money.
With the increase of sewing machines and the increase of workers, her side business is naturally thriving.
If it weren't for the fear of being too ostentatious and attracting bad people, if she couldn't hold back with her current status, she could have developed better.
In such a situation where the money is not bad, Zhong Shuyu naturally has no need to take responsibility for making this little money.
After all, if something happened to the people she brought on the ship, she would naturally be responsible.
After telling the other party that she was not lifting, Zhong Shuyu quickly led people into the dock and got on the boat.
After getting on the boat, also because of his identity, Zhong Shuyu got an upper room.
Li Yuehong, as her newly accepted concubine, is naturally in the same room as her.
The other Fang Dabao and her new bodyguard Mo Yingwu this time were in the supporting subordinate room next to them.
After eating the breakfast on the boat, seeing that the sky was good, Zhong Shuyu walked to the bow of the boat.
After admiring the scenery on both sides of the river bank for a while, Zhong Shuyu's attention was on the boat again.
Before she had been on a ship, she had learned about the ships of this era.
Nowadays, the main power of big ships still comes from hard sails + rotating oars, and some boats are with oars, in short, they all borrow wind power, manpower, and water current.
The speed of such a ship is naturally limited, and the time against the current basically depends on the exquisite skill of the rudder owner.
It is said that it was only a hard sail before, and it was the previous emperor who had a spinning oar, so that the following capable people made a rotating oar to increase some power.
Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the technical level has not been updated, and it cannot be updated, because the basic physics of the era has stagnated there, and has not developed.
If you want to make progress, Zhong Shuyu, a latecomer, knows very well, that is, the steam era after the first industrial revolution.
Zhong Shuyu naturally does not know the production of the ship and the structural parts of the ship, and will not make it, including trains and airplanes.
But Zhong Shuyu knew how to use energy conversion, inertia, and axles to build a steam engine.
As soon as the steam engine appears, it can be applied to various facilities, and as soon as talents from all walks of life appear, they will naturally be able to enter the steam era she wants.
For the steam age, steampunk mechanical aesthetics, Zhong Shuyu has always had a yearning mood after learning this knowledge.
Because the original history in which it was located did not participate in this era, it almost crossed the steam age and directly followed into the electric age.
Later, after she learned about the steam age, she had a kind of regret.
Therefore, now in this dynasty, Zhong Shuyu hopes that his butterfly can push the East into the steam age faster, so that she can also see the beauty she has never seen.
