Lord of the House

Lin Fu put the matter of his succession behind him, and was not in a hurry to go to the front yard to attend the feast. In the middle of the night, he always asked everyone to have time to buffer their emotions, and asked Xiaoman to help him raise a lamp and study the drawings. .

Lin Fie thought it would not be so early. He invited Jiang Yue to see the marquee, and it was only fourteen months after he officially unveiled the window paper of the steam-driven principle. Jiang Yue, the former superintendent of Tianjian, who has incomparable accomplishments, designed a steam-powered water pump and a steam-driven car. Yesterday, he sent the drawings to the imperial government and sealed them up in the study room. Waiting for Lin Fu to come back and read it.

Pumping machines are nothing new. When mining well salt in Sichuan and Shu, the wells are dug into the mineral salt layer, water-soluble salt is injected into brine, and then the brine is extracted from the ground with a water pump to cook it into salt; the mining of shallow crude oil on Jinzhou Island in Nanyang is also With this extraction technology, which mainly depends on manpower or animals, the craftsmanship of the world is far from being as backward as imagined, but limited market, limited industry, and limited demand limit the further development of craftsmanship.

Chongzhou Shipyard has a dry dock to improve the efficiency of shipbuilding and ship repair. A super-large dry dock often has a volume of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of stones. To drain the water inside, there is no pumping machinery, only people Scooping and scooping is unimaginable.

Jiangning, Xusi, Huxi and other places are rich in minerals. Among them, the most needed in the world is also the coal mine that Lin Fu vigorously promotes and uses. But in the plains and low hilly areas, the biggest problem is that the coal seam is slightly deeper, and the groundwater will continue to seep into the mine. It is necessary to continuously drain the groundwater from the mine with a water pump, so that the miners can mine coal and stone smoothly.

In the past, manpower and animal power were used for drainage of coal yard - but the efficiency of human and animal power pumping was extremely slow, and only occasionally where conditions allowed, the water-driven pumping function was used for continuous operation.

Mining areas with mineral deposits and abundant hydraulic resources are particularly rare. The hydraulic drive provided by streams is also severely affected by the season. At present, only such a coal field has been found in Zhuxi County, Yizhou.

This alone makes Zhuxi coal travel thousands of miles by sea to Jiangning, which is even slightly cheaper than shipping coal from Lishui Coal Field, which is connected by a canal, just over a hundred miles away.

Lin Fu first asked Jiang Yueneng to design a steam-driven water pump for coal yard drainage.

First, the problem of underground water seepage is the main reason why the cost of coal mining in Xusi area cannot be reduced significantly again, and there is an extremely urgent need for efficient water pumps; the second is that the coal yard can provide sufficient and cheap fuel for steam pumps.

Different from the principle of using the boiler to generate steam to directly impact the impeller for driving, the steam engine designed by Jiang Yue uses the steam to expand and condense in the cylinder to repeatedly push the piston and the connecting rod for driving——

In the explanation given by Jiang Yue, it is the driving principle shown by Lin Fu before, and the driving force generated during the actual test is not enough to continuously drive the operation of the coupling rod; Jiang Yue invited nearly a hundred craftsmen to work hard to create a Over the years, dozens of schemes have been designed and tested, and the latest drive structure is still imitating the method of taking brine passed down in Shu.

Jiang Yue also knew that Lin Fu would return to Jiangning today, so he specially rushed to send the latest design drawings to the study room and waited for Lin Fu to read it yesterday.

Lin Fu is far from familiar with the equipment of later generations, but Jiang Yue's drawing paper is concise and clear, and anyone who knows a little about the principle of steam expansion and condensation can see the working principle of the drive.

Although the efficacy of the first steam engine will not be immediately satisfactory, Lin Fu believes that as long as he keeps going, he can open the door to the steam machinery era...

Lin Fu saw the drawings of the steam engine that Jiang Yue had only secretly submitted yesterday. The unpleasantness caused by the dispute over the succession quickly vanished in a blink of an eye. He felt that the wisdom of people at the time should not be taken lightly.

Xiaoman saw that Lin Fu's mind was completely attracted to the rice paper drawing of the long case, which was drawn like a mechanical monster, and no longer bothered about the struggle for succession just now, and asked, "What is the most important thing in the eyes of my husband? Is it even more important to establish a heir?"

"This is the golden key that truly opens the door to another era," Lin Fu laughed, playing the drawing with his fingers proudly, and said, "Others see the miscellaneous art of craftsmanship as a crooked way, a small way; in my eyes, craftsmanship Miscellaneous learning is the real Dao, and the kingly way and the domineering imperial powers and techniques handed down by Confucianism and Law are the small way..."

"Since Wangba's imperial powers and techniques are all small ways, why is your husband like this today?" Xiaoman asked inexplicably. The matter of establishing the heir must be considered a very important thing in the emperor's hegemony. Lin Fu's actions today, It really shocked them, even Gu Junxun, Liu Yueer, Sun Wenwan, Gu Yingxiu and other women didn't dare to come to the study room to take a look.

"The foundation of tradition is too deep, and although it cannot go against the general trend in the end, it will never give in easily; the contradictions and repeated tensions between them, if they are not properly handled, it will be a **** storm," Lin Fu said. Some people ridiculed me for raising pigs and vegetables in Jiangning in my early years, but if I really wanted everyone to speak freely and have no scruples, Jiangning would probably curse more than half of them at me: 'pig herder'! I will admit that Huaidong can achieve today's achievements, but I actually started from raising pigs and growing vegetables. The conflict between old and new ideas is more severe than imagined; it is not so easy for people to accept new things when they want."

"Since it's a good thing, why is it so difficult for people to accept it?" Xiaoman asked in confusion.

"Anything new is not made overnight, it's all from the rough to the refined, from the ugly to the beautiful, from the expensive to the cheap, and from the few to the many," Lin Bie pressed down on the pattern of the steam engine, and said, "The rest are nothing else. Let’s just say that four-wheeled carriages are very convenient to ride now, but how many people know about the small roller sleeves on the axles. It took nearly two years of craftsmen to make this thing? It must be converted into gold and silver, no less than 100,000 Huaiyuan. Although it has been produced at present, it is far from complete, and it needs to continue to invest a lot of money. Human and material resources - where do you get such huge and long-lasting human and material resources?"

"Oh," Xiaoman said, as if he had come to a realization, "Could it be that your husband is so resolute in forbidding the people of Huaidong to sit in and carry sedan chairs, originally because he hoped that the sedan cars would be abandoned and the cars would flourish..."

Lin Bie nodded and said: "Many people think: as long as there is something good, someone will use it; but using it to govern the country, this principle is unreasonable, and we have to think about it: only if someone uses it, it will be possible to produce good things - summary Now, demand is the motive force that drives everything forward. The gentry, officials and eunuchs all ride in sedan chairs, while the merchants and walkers are all poor, and they only need to have a bad car; What would those people in the courtyard just scold me for?"

"Luxurious person," Xiaoman said with a grin, "but I think this is true."

Lin Bie pinched Xiaoman's face, put her in his arms, and said, "In my position, I feel that doing some things is difficult, how can it be easy for others? In the past, people in Huaidong were only forbidden to sit and carry sedan chairs. , Huaidong is just prosperous, and everyone can be simple, so there is not much objection. After these years, I am used to it, but it is still difficult to completely abolish the carriage of the sedan chair. The current situation is: Quan Huan The nobles will not be willing to walk, they can only take a car without a sedan chair, and the animal power of the Jianghuai is seriously insufficient, so they cannot provide a sufficient number of carriages. I plan to use the name of the cavalry for armed preparations to promote the business of raising horses in Jianghuai and other places. In the name of Xingma Industry, the ban on carrying sedan chairs will start from the central Zhubu Temple. After three or five years, it will be fully extended to the prefectures and counties. Only in this way, and the car workshops can benefit from it, will they have the motivation to continue. Improve car-making craftsmanship. The above-mentioned is only superficial, and it is only a temporary solution; when it comes to the national level, first of all, it is necessary to maintain the benefits generated by the car-making workshop so that a wider group can share and possess it, and This group also needs to be able to shout out voices and express opinions in the upper layer of the center, so that the entire direction can be lasting and will not deviate or return to the old path due to accidental factors..."

"..." Lin Bie pointed back to the drawing of the steam engine and said, "Turn around and talk about this thing, it's good, but it looks really rudimentary now. I want to build a 'bicycle that doesn't need humans and animals' as Jiang Yue said. ', the body of the car will create a behemoth of 20 to 30 feet long and wide, which is really unusable. Even if it is used to drive the water pump, it must be forced to the coal yard below to accept it." The guards outside called in, "Go to the front yard and invite Lord Jiang Yuejiang in, and then invite Lord Jingxuan in..."

****************

After the ceremony of adding Jiuxi, Jiang Yue and others also came to Chongguo Gongfu to participate in the banquet, but they didn't expect that there would be a dispute between them.

Although I don't know what happened in the front yard~www.wuxiaspot.com~, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Song Fu, Cao Zi'ang, Qin Chengzu, Sun Jingxuan and other important officials in Huaidong were summoned to the inner house and waited in the front yard. Everyone can know that something big is going to happen - during the speculation, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen and others want their officials to return to the front yard, but they can't see Lin Fu, while Lin Tingli and others look depressed, whispering each other, and they are even deeper in other unknown inside stories. people doubt.

Lin Fu threw out the initiative of the government meeting, and the disputes between the progenitors could be considered to have ceased. Song Fu and Lin Tingli also notified Sun Jingxuan, Hu Wenmu and other people who had not seen the inside to persuade them to reassure them.

However, Lin Tingli, Song Fu and others, in addition to thinking about the government meeting and the establishment of the heir, also worried that Lin Fu would lose his temper tonight and would not come to the front yard for the banquet. Screen the wall.

After waiting for a stick of incense, the guards came out and summoned Sun Jingxuan and Jiang Yue into the inner courtyard.

Sun Jingxuan's daughter Wenwan gave birth to a son for Lin Fu. If Sun Jingxuan was summoned into the inner court alone, everyone suspected that it was to discuss the establishment of a heir, but Jiang Yue was called in again. Jiang Yue only resigned from the office of Sitianjian after the autumn of last year. The machinery manufacturing department under the leadership of the Privy Council has never been prominent in Huaidong. At this time, Lin Fu called Sun Jingxuan and Jiang Yue in at the same time, so that everyone couldn't figure it out.

Sun Jingxuan saw that Lin Fu had summoned Jiang Yue to go in with him, and he could roughly guess why, and he didn't want to ask Lin Tingli to be suspicious.

Lin Tingli and the others suddenly realized that Lin Biesu focuses on craftsmanship. This is what they understand. When the military resources are the most tight, they are also prohibited from cutting off the funding from Jiang Yue's side - besides, they just made a fuss about the establishment of the heir apparent. In that case, Lin Fu probably didn't want to come out to see them in a hurry. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
