Become a feudal king from today

"Nian Yuyan..."

Princess Changle was startled for a moment, and suddenly her eyes turned red. ReadМ

That's right, she is Nian Yuyan, not Zhao Yuyan.

How could she forget her true identity?

Then, she looked at King Yan in front of her.

Although they were separated by several years, she still recognized the Ninth Prince of Dasong at a glance.

And compared to before, the Ninth Prince no longer felt weak at all, exuding a sense of confidence.

There is also a kind of calmness and indifference that can be condensed on the battlefield.

"See His Highness King Yan." Nian Yuyan said.

Frowning slightly, she added, "Why did His Highness say that Princess Changle is dead?"

Zhao Xu is also looking at Nian Yuyan, she is indeed a beauty.

After hearing this, he told Zhao Heng's imperial edict and the instructions he had given.

Nian Yuyan showed a grateful look, "Thank you, Your Highness, but that's it. Aren't you afraid of offending the Emperor?"

"You don't need to worry about this. If you can really bring Tianxiang Tower to provide important information to the king as stated in the letter, it will be worth it." Zhao Xu looked at Nian Yuyan again.

Although he saved Nian Yuyan.

But for now, he will continue to keep some distance from Nian Yuyan, just like he did with Xu E.

Until he figured out the ins and outs of Tianxiang Tower.

Only then will he consider how to get along with them.

For the time being, just let them stay in Yancheng.

"There is a reason why His Highness was able to gain a foothold in Yan State." Nian Yuyan did not see a trace of emotional ups and downs in King Yan's eyes.

It seemed that to King Yan, this beauty like her did not exist at all.

Now, she finally understood why Xu E always looked resentful when talking about King Yan.

When encountering such a strong man, women all over the world are really helpless.

However, perhaps it was for this reason that King Yan was able to rise in troubled times.

Otherwise, how would he be able to gain a foothold in the dangerous Yan State if he was as obsessed with women as today's Holy Emperor.

Thinking of this, she continued: "Since His Highness saved my life, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

Zhao Xu nodded and no longer mentioned the matter, but asked: "Do you need a house for me to live in?"

Nian Yuyan shook her head, "No need, Xu E has already bought a secluded courtyard in Yancheng."

After bowing, she said: "Thank you again for your life-saving grace. I won't disturb you now. If there is anything important, I will come to visit you again."

For her, her current relationship with him, King Yan, is very awkward.

Now that her status as Princess Changle has been abandoned, she can no longer be considered a brother and sister to King Yan.

As Nian Yuyan, she had an engagement with King Yan, which was really embarrassing to think about.

With her relationship with Tianxiang Tower, King Yan might still be wary of her.

In this way, the longer she stays, the more constrained she will become, so it is better to leave.

"Well, I won't miss you anymore," Zhao Xu said.

He could see that Nian Yuyan was a little unnatural.

After another bow, Nian Yuyan left.

At this time, Xu E and Xiaohuan had already heard the news and came over.

Boarding the carriage, the three of them left.

"Yancheng is really getting more and more lively." Feng'er suddenly said, "One of them has been engaged to His Highness, and the other is already attracted by the Princess, and all of them are beauties. Luan'er and the slaves are outclassed. film."

After saying that, she pouted her lips with a sour look.

Zhao Xu rolled his eyes at her and ignored her.

Now for him, it is not the time for the love between son and daughter.

Yanzhou is still facing many crises.

Furthermore, Yang Susu came with Yang Feng, and Princess Changle came because of marriage.

Both are victims of Dasong's power struggle.

He simply gave them shelter in their struggle.

Save them from unnecessary sacrifice.

Not intentionally.

When Feng'er saw that Zhao Xu was ignoring her, she giggled and came over to play around.

At this moment, the guard guarding the gate informed Wang Chong that he was here, and Feng'er regained her composure.

Not long after, Wang Chong strode over.

After bowing, he said: "Your Highness, you asked me to develop multiple sets of crankshafts, and they are now being used in the Military Division."

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately put the matter of Nian Yuyan behind his head, took Wang Chong and went to the Bingzhan Division.

Feng'er shook his head when he saw this, looking like a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved.

Within a quarter of an hour, Zhao Xu and Wang Chong arrived at the Military Division.

Wang Ying was already waiting at the door, with excitement on his face.

As soon as Zhao Xu arrived, the three of them went directly to the rifling workshop.

At the same time, the steam engine roared, but now, a long crankshaft almost traversed the east-west direction of the workshop.

At least thirty broaches are connected to the long crankshaft.

Under the reciprocating motion of the connecting rod, the crankshaft drives the broach to reciprocate in a straight line.

It really feels like a big machine factory.

"Your Highness, this steam engine is not powerful enough, otherwise it would be able to drive more broaches." Wang Chong chuckled.

After getting back the technical drawings from the palace, he began to expand the functions of the steam engine.

This multi-set crankshaft is just the simplest of them all.

Next, he will also let the steam engine drive multiple drilling machines, multiple forging hammers, etc.

However, in addition to driving multiple machines, the power of the steam engine also affects production.

Zhao Xu nodded.

The steam engines Wang Chong gave to the Bingzhan Division were all small steam engines with very low power.

However, this is a necessary step for the development of steam engines. Only by making small steam engines well can we build large steam engines.

For example, the steam engine locomotive that drives the entire train.

So he said: "Take your time, the most important thing now is to use these small steam engines as the basis to transform the war department and the entire workshop, and replace the past manpower, water power and animal power with steam power, so that production can Efficiency has improved.”

After a pause, he continued: "The most important thing is that more types of lathes can be developed, more precise parts can be processed, and the manufacturing of machinery can be promoted, including the steam engine itself."

Coming from contemporary times, he is well aware that the lathe is the mother of machinery.

In the past, lack of power prevented many lathes from being put into use.

But things are different now. With the steam engine, he can build many old-fashioned lathes that appeared in modern times.

All kinds of lathes are put into production, and the machinery will continue to sprout like green grass in spring.

Wang Chong and Wang Ying were stunned. They already understood the concept of lathe.

Drilling machines, boring machines, and broaches are all lathes.

They have seen the power of these lathes.

As more lathes appeared, Yanzhou really took off.

After all, steam would make these lathes even more powerful.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid of tiring your subordinate, just give him the drawings." Wang Chong looked excited.

Now he can't wait to develop these things with the students all day long.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Xu and Wang Ying laughed at the same time.

Zhao Xu said: "Don't worry, you will be busy from now on."

Then he said: "Provide the Military Division with a few more steam engines as soon as possible. I can count on you and your son for the rifled guns."

According to Wang Ying, a broach can pull twenty-four barrels a day and a night.

Thirty units a day is 720 sticks.

One month is 21,600 roots.

With such terrifying efficiency, only three steam engines were needed to produce rifled guns.

In three or four months, he could equip his army with rifled guns in batches.
