Chapter 223 should not be a product of this era
The most typical case of the resource-locked technology tree is the lack of horses and iron ore in the New World, resulting in the New World not even having a carriage, while the Central Plains Dynasty lacked gold, silver, and copper. There is a lack of shallow coal fields that are easy to mine. Generally, coal deeper than three feet requires digging tunnels, wells, supports, drainage, ventilation, gas, etc.
And the coalfields must be in the hinterland, not on the edges, so the cost will be lower. The transportation cost is too high these days. The Ming Dynasty had to spend all its money to get four million shi of grain. Scheming.
There are actually Iron Mountains in the New World of North and South America, but the Iron Mountains are too far away from the core hinterland.
The core logic of the resource-locked technology tree is actually very simple. Coal is expensive and coal is cheap. A pound of coal costs six to eight cents, and the price of coal will soar when it rains or snows. It is completely sufficient to show that supply is less than demand, so there is no extra coal to burn to light up the technology tree of steam engines.
It’s not that there is no demand, but that there is not enough coal. Every pound of coal is lifted out of the kiln at risk.
If the coal is dug out in the open air, it may be sold for only one penny per pound, and if the amount is sufficient, the coal can naturally be used to increase production efficiency and burn a usable water pumping machine. Increasing coal mining efficiency will pay for itself.
But the coal of the Ming Dynasty comes from the kiln well, forty or fifty stories underground. The amount is very small, so we can only save a little to burn.
The steam engine in the West was not created overnight. The genius inventor Watt said that a steam engine was needed, and a steam engine was born.
From the end of the 16th century to the 17th century, the coal mining industry in England was highly developed. Manpower and animal power alone were no longer able to meet the demand for pumping groundwater from mines. The coal fields had abundant and cheap coal, which was very important for "previously" The exploration and experimentation of "fire power to lift water" began at the end of the 16th century and lasted for more than a hundred years. At the end of the 18th century, Watt completely improved the steam engine and became the core driving force of the Industrial Revolution.
This long development process is a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change.
The Ming Dynasty could not afford to burn large amounts of coal so luxuriously, but it didn't matter. Zhu Yijun took out silver to encourage craftsmen to innovate.
Zhu Yijun did not want to wait any longer, and ordered the cabinet that he was willing to use 500,000 taels of silver from the internal funds as a reward to promote the exploration and experiment of using firepower to lift water in the name of the Royal Academy of Furniture. Find solutions.
It would take even the Xishan Coal Bureau five years to earn this amount of money, but the emperor directly took out the money from internal funds.
“Mother, I went to the Xishan Coal Bureau to see that the kiln residents went down to the mines with the idea of five lives and a lifetime to dig coal. Currently, the Xishan Coal Bureau uses water drainage to collect water, causing Xishan There are endless incidents of water seepage in the Coal Bureau. Last year, there were 153 cases of water seepage in the Xishan Coal Bureau, and 1,750 kiln workers died, accounting for 90% of the total deaths. "Zhu Yijun is not there yet. Since he is pro-government and has spent five hundred thousand taels of internal funds, he naturally has to explain it to Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li was born in poverty. She looked at Zhu Yijun and said with a happy smile: "The emperor has grown up. Although he does not seem to be in charge, he already has rules for doing things. My mother comes from a womanly family. Knowing so much, in the eyes of my mother, this money is the same thing as Baoqisi. Since it is beneficial to the people of the world, then do it boldly."
The Queen Mother Chen took a sip of tea and said. : "The whole world belongs to your Majesty. It's just a little money. If your Majesty thinks it's worth it, it's worth it. If your Majesty says it's worth it, it's worth it."
Zhu Yijun actually prepared a story to convince the two empresses, but he As soon as it started, the queen mothers of the two palaces directly expressed their support.
If the little emperor starts to reason, the queen mothers of the two palaces will even have the feeling of facing the official of the court. There is no need to tell stories, just go ahead and do it boldly. If something goes wrong, just issue an edict and scold Zhang Juzheng. , who made Zhang Juzheng the Tutor? It was all the Tufu's fault that the emperor did not educate him well.
In the view of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, your Majesty can do whatever you want with the internal funds. This palace and the world belong to Your Majesty. The emperor attaches great importance to arithmetic and the principle of infinity of all things. In the eyes of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, It's no different from Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of immortality, both of which are not doing his job properly.
Emperor Jiajing had practiced Taoism for more than 20 years, and Emperor Longqing often rewarded hundreds of thousands of taels for various arts. The courtiers all opposed it, and Zhang Juzheng objected repeatedly. Isn't it useless?
The power of the Ming emperor was unlimited, but the Ming emperor himself was a person who existed in a physical sense.
Zhu Yijun chatted with the empress dowagers of the two palaces for a long time, and then left after having dinner in Cining Palace.
Zhu Yijun summoned Zhang Juzheng again and asked whether this decree was reasonable. After all, it was his first edict to the Ming craftsmen collective, and he had to confirm whether this decree was appropriate.
"I pay homage to your majesty. Is your majesty paying homage to you?" Zhang Juzheng said.
This emperor's decree surprised Zhang Juzheng. According to past experience, the emperor who was stingy and frugal was a bit like Pixiu. He could only get in and out, but the emperor asked for five hundred thousand. This It doesn't look like something a miser would do.
"I'm sorry, sir, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Sir, I have been listening to the government for a long time. If you have any understanding of the government orders, please correct me."
"Since my husband went to Chen Wu Shi Shu, I have read all the government decrees, and I have found a common feature, that is, the vision, mission, and goals of this government decree. The sky is full of flowers and flowers in the memorial. Everything is good, it benefits the court at the top and the poor coolies at the bottom, but when the cost is not mentioned at all, I will immediately express my opposition."
"There is no such thing in the world that is all good and has no harm. "Cake."
"Take today's Xishan Coal Bureau as an example. Xishan has been mining coal for a long time. It has been four to five hundred years since the Jin Kingdom occupied Youzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. In such a long time, The rich ore in the shallow layers has been mined, and it can only be mined in deep wells.”
"The decree of the Xishan Coal Bureau is beneficial to the imperial court. After all, the imperial court can use this to gather profits and benefit the poor coolies. After all, firewood, rice, oil and salt are the most important. Coal in the capital is cheap but firewood is expensive. As long as coal can be supplied stably, the capital can benefit. The people took a breath.”
“But at what cost? I, the three princes, and my uncle Li He donated our kilns to the court for unified procurement. Xu Congcheng was killed for this. The price seems to be the powerful gentry, but it is not entirely true. In fact, there is another price, which is the poor coolies. "
"Specifically, the kiln people who go down to the wells are also the price, with their own lives. I can't bear it when I'm changing coal. "
They are the majority like the tens of millions of poor coolies in Chen. The world belongs to the people of the world, and they are the people of the world.
The cost of the Xishan Coal Bureau's decree is not only the sponsorship of the powerful right, but also the actual kiln residents who dig coal. What the powerful right loses is property, while the kiln residents who dig the coal lose life.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng listened to His Majesty's words very carefully, and said sincerely again that His Majesty has met all the conditions to govern.
Ming Regent did not intend to always overstep the emperor's authority and remain regent. Since he planned to return to power, he had to carefully consider whether his majesty was qualified for the job. And now his majesty is already a wise king.
Zhang Juzheng himself knew very well that His Majesty was very wise.
During the Jiajing and Longqing years, Zhang Juzheng was the kind of minister who did not please the emperor but could not be used. Zhang Juzheng scolded Jiajing for practicing Taoism without caring about the world. He said that it was too difficult for Emperor Jiajing to conquer the end and it would be easy to give up halfway. Emperor Jiajing was compared to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. Zhang Juzheng relied on the cabinet to oppose Emperor Longqing's extravagance and bargained not to spend money on Emperor Longqing. Whenever Emperor Longqing spent too much money, Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter to object.
In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Longqing, Zhang Juzheng was an even more annoying minister than Hai Rui. After all, Hai Rui could only say a few words, while Zhang Juzheng could effectively influence the implementation of government decrees.
But during the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng, who did not please the emperor, more often advised the emperor not to be too radical and to be benevolent and forgiving.
Because it is really not easy to understand things clearly.
Take His Majesty’s principles for analyzing government decrees as an example. Like Sun Wukong, His Majesty can clearly see the other party’s fundamental purpose and speak in terms of cost and price.
This is wisdom. Zhang Juzheng said that Your Majesty is wise because His Majesty is really wise.
Zhu Yijun said very confidently: "According to Mr.'s theory of contradiction, one thing or a government order must have two sides. Only the advantages are mentioned, and the disadvantages are not mentioned. That means there are several possibilities."
"The first is that the hidden costs are huge, expensive, and even destabilizing the country, so they can only be avoided; second, the will to implement decrees comes from the supreme emperor, who has to execute it and oppose political trends. , can only be avoided; thirdly, when implemented, it will bear unimaginable risks and pressures, which is unexecutable and can only be avoided."
"Still taking the Xishan Coal Bureau as an example, coal mining. The cost of the matter is that the powerful people are the lives of the common people, and exchanging their lives for coal is the harm caused by the court's harsh punishment of the poor coolies. The will of the government comes from me, and the unimaginable risks for the kiln people to mine coal."
"Now that this decree is being implemented, it seems logical that I will spend 500,000 taels of silver to encourage the innovation of production tools and reduce the risk of kiln collapse."
Zhu Yijun first He admitted that some of the wrong decisions he made in the Xishan Coal Bureau decree were too idealistic. He felt that with Wang Chonggu, a courtier who amassed profits, it could be done.
Yes, it was indeed done, but the imperial court also bore the risk of being a commoner. The last commoner, Hu Yuan, had already been provoked by the Mo Dao Stone Man to stir up the Yellow River. The world was overthrown.
Zhu Yijun asked about the treatment of the Xishan Coal Bureau, and it was the same as that of the woolen official factory. In other words, if the kiln workers went down the well and never came out, the imperial court would give each person a pension of twenty taels of silver, which was the same as the pension of the Ming Dynasty's imperial army. It’s almost the same.
But the risk of being a commoner is still there, so it is necessary to set up a bonus of 500,000 taels of silver to reduce the risk.
When a skilled craftsman dies in a mining accident, it is a huge loss to the craftsman’s family and a huge loss to many official factories. To reduce losses is to reduce costs, so Zhu Yijun encourages the innovation of production tools and technology. Progress is a very reasonable thing.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again. Your Majesty's analysis method of the theory of contradiction has been perfected. The cheap scholars can no longer fool the little emperor. Reading the theory of contradiction is destined that your majesty will think about issues based on facts. This kind of thinking has been completely developed, and Zhang Juzheng no longer needs to worry about anything.
His mission as the Ming Shenzong has been completely completed.
"Sir, I have a good thing." Zhu Yijun stood up and started his performance. To be precise, he made a basic model of fire pumping water.
“This is a steam-rotating ball from Taipei. It is very simple. After adding water, the water is heated, and the steam enters the ball along the copper tube. The ball begins to spurt out, causing the ball to start rotating. "Zhu Yijun first demonstrated the first object, the steam ball.
A three-legged sealed pot can be filled with water, and a small hollow ball with two air outlets that are tangent to the circle.
Zhu Yijun lit the oil lamp under the table, and the oil lamp began to heat up. Soon the ball began to rotate slowly. When the water in the sealed pot began to boil, the ball rotated faster and faster, and even produced The whistling sound gradually decreased. Zhu Yijun used the lid to extinguish the oil lamp, and the ball slowly stopped.
Fire power, steam and rotation, if combined with a crank, can achieve reciprocating motion.
"It is said that Hero, a doctor of mathematics in Alexandria, invented it more than 1,400 years ago, but according to Taixi, this thing should have appeared less than fifty years ago." Zhu Yijun explained the origin of this thing.
The steam ball was first recorded in the "Mechanical Collection". The steam ball was an invention during the Renaissance and was named after the sages. Even the mechanical collection was most likely created during the Renaissance.
"This steam-rotating ball is the first method I thought of to lift water with firepower, but this method is extremely inefficient. Please follow me, sir." Zhu Yijun explained very clearly that the efficiency of steam jets is really It's too low.
The reason why Zhu Yijun is so sure is that he made a pot.
The shape of this pot is very unique, like a teapot, but the teapot spout is at the top, thin and long. The spout blows towards the copper blade, and the blade drives a crank to achieve reciprocating motion. Grinding powder, but no matter how I tried, this method of blowing the blades with jets failed.
It moved, but it moved too slowly, and the grinding efficiency was too low.
“The reason why I did this is because of the lights in Aoshan. Feng Daban asked people to make a revolving lantern. There is a spoke on the revolving lantern. After the lamp is lit, the hot air drives the spoke to rotate, and the spoke drives the lamp. The screen slowly rotates, the lantern moves, the lantern moves, and the horse stops when the lantern is turned off." Zhu Yijun took out a palace lantern and took it apart.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Aoshan Lantern Festival of the Ming Dynasty was held as scheduled. Zhu Yijun still did not join in the fun because he did not want to reward money, but he paid attention to a very interesting thing, the revolving lantern.
The revolving lantern has an impeller. The hot air blows the impeller to rotate, and the impeller drives the animation screen to rotate. This thing was already extremely popular in the Song Dynasty. Zhu Yijun even made a steam pot and tried to blow the impeller. .
"It's a pity that it failed." Zhu Yijun said slightly distressed. He knew the principles of steam engines very well, but the process of exploration did not seem to be smooth. At this point, Zhu Yijun stopped. Currently, they are two toys he made based on the technology tree known to Ming Dynasty.
Without exception, they are all toys that cannot be practiced. Zhu Zaiyu looked at the teapot turbine and blades made by His Majesty and began to think thoughtfully. Zhu Yijun did not notice Zhu Zaiyu thinking.
Zhu Zaiyu, the first sacrificial wine of the Imperial Palace of Ming Dynasty, a great scientist of Ming Dynasty, the inventor of twelve equal temperaments and compact musical instruments, the patron of King Zheng’s table, and the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, After finishing the duel, he returned to Qintianjian Yamen.
He was thinking about His Majesty's experiment. His Majesty's experiment brought many novel ideas to Zhu Zaiyu. He vaguely noticed the reason why His Majesty's experiment failed to take shape.
The speed of the ejected steam is too slow, and when the ejected steam is in an open environment, there is only one impeller, and the impeller is not dense enough.
Zhu Zaiyu first had to solve the problem of the jet speed being too slow, how to lock the steam in a closed space, and then erupt the steam at an extremely fast speed and blow the blades. Zhu Zaiyu’s top priority.
Sealing is not difficult, it can be done using spirals and copper sheets. Zhu Zaiyu designed a very strange pot.
The pot weighs more than 40 kilograms and is made of all iron. There is a copper pad on the bottom of the lid, which is pressed and sealed with screws. The water injection port can also be rotated to seal, and a four-liang weight is pressed on the water outlet. of iron.
In Zhu Zaiyu’s design, the expansion force of steam is large enough to lift up the iron block, and the speed of steam is naturally extremely fast.
The first experiment failed without a doubt. A roaring explosion sounded. Fortunately, the person who lit the fire was far away. The exploding iron pieces flew everywhere, but the failed experiment did not shock Zhu Zaiyu. Instead, he reduced the four-liang iron block to two-liang with his enthusiasm.
During the continuous experiments, Zhu Zaiyu recorded the process in detail and finally determined the plan for the pressure cooker.
During the pressure cooker experiment, he also made a new sealed revolving lantern impeller, and this time he added four impellers to the sealed circular impeller chamber with an inner diameter of three inches to allow high-speed The air flow drives the impeller to rotate.
The more Zhu Zaiyu experimented, the more excited he became. In mid-February of the fifth year of Wanli, Zhu Zaiyu brought his turbine to the emperor.
"Is it that big?" Zhu Yijun looked at the red silk cloth in front of him, which was two people tall and three or four feet long, and said with confusion.
Zhu Zaiyu pulled away the heavy red silk cloth and said: "Your Majesty, here are sixteen pots. The steam enters the impeller chamber through the pipes, and the impeller drives the shaft to rotate rapidly."
One. The steam provided by the pot is not enough, so sixteen pots are provided together. Zhu Yijun checked the sixteen pots placed side by side. The principle of the pot is very simple. It is a pressure cooker. The iron block pressing the air outlet is the safety valve. When the pot The air pressure inside is strong enough. When the safety valve is lifted, the steam begins to roar.
The impeller cabin used for display has been spliced, but Zhu Zaiyu thoughtfully prepared an open impeller cabin for His Majesty to inspect. Zhu Yijun saw a very interesting thing, a bearing.
The large iron ring is surrounded by a small iron ring. There are some copper pillars arranged side by side on the small iron ring. The surface of these copper pillars is smooth and covered with shark oil. The impellers on all sides are fixed on the shaft.
The shark oil is a rare thing presented by Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Luzon. In fact, this thing is whale brain oil, only three hundred kilograms, but this kind of rare thing is a natural lubricant, so Zhu Yijun saw the bearing.
The impeller in the impeller chamber has also increased from one layer to four layers. The impeller chamber is a trumpet-shaped design with a small head and big feet. The bearing carries a flywheel. As long as it can spin, fetching water from the ground will be a problem. It's no longer difficult.
Zhu Yijun frowned and picked up a blade. This blade is flat, with one side flat and one side streamlined. This is the basic principle of a hydrofoil sailboat, which uses the pressure difference generated by the fluid to drive the impeller to rotate. , rather than blowing directly.
The efficiency of direct blowing is too low.
Zhu Zaiyu applied this technology to the impeller. His experience with hydrofoil sailboats told Zhu Zaiyu that the Ming Dynasty’s hard sails can sail against the wind and use the wind more efficiently, so this technology can be used directly on the impeller. This style of blades can effectively increase efficiency.
The densely packed impeller blades are arranged in an orderly manner, making the most efficient use of the fast-flowing wind.
Yes, in Zhu Zaiyu’s opinion, what His Majesty wants is a machine that utilizes wind power on land. Isn’t the high-speed flowing steam a kind of wind power? Isn't the impeller on the marquee the sail of the bearing? How to use wind power more efficiently is what Zhu Zaiyu wants to do.
Chemical energy is converted into thermal energy of steam, thermal energy of steam is converted into fluid energy, and fluid energy is converted into mechanical energy. This is the energy conversion of the entire process.
After Zhu Yijun checked everything, he motioned to Zhu Zaiyu to start showing.
"Add water! Your Majesty, stay away for now." Zhu Zaiyu was still frightened by the last explosion, and was afraid of another accident this time, so he asked His Majesty to stay away.
If this thing explodes, it doesn’t matter if it hurts Zhu Zaiyu. If it hurts His Majesty, there is no need to study the matter of using firepower to lift water. All the craftsmen involved in this matter may be To be beheaded.
The retroists are probably going to be so happy that they grab the land with their heads.
Zhu Yijun stood in the distance, looking at the monster, with mixed emotions on his face, as if a villager had shared the absurd feeling of controllable nuclear fusion with Zhu Yijun.
The chief scientist of the Ming Dynasty did not develop a traditional reciprocating steam engine, but a steam turbine, although it only had four layers.
"Light the fire!" Zhu Zaiyu said loudly, and with an order, the eunuchs who were waiting began to add coal inside. Several eunuchs kept fanning the cattail fans, and soon the coal was ignited. Zhu Yijun After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, the turbine began to rotate, and the speed of the flywheel changed from slow to a screaming roar.
Zhu Yijun even had the illusion of a plane taking off.
After only half a quarter of an hour, Zhu Zaiyu ordered a ceasefire. After the turbine stopped completely, Zhu Zaiyu said with annoyance: "Your Majesty, if it can turn, it means it can turn."
"I have observed that the steam will slow down every time it passes through an impeller, which makes the machine rotate slowly. I am trying to find a solution."
Zhu Yijun looked calm. Said: "How to reduce the speed, how to increase the speed, install a fixed and non-rotating impeller in the opposite direction between the impellers, just to guide the flow, wouldn't it be enough?"
Zhu Zaiyu suddenly said His eyes widened, he made a fist with his left hand and punched his right hand hard, and said with ecstasy: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that?"
Zhu Zaiyu couldn't wait anymore, because the flow rate was reduced. Because, in fact, only the first impeller can utilize the high-speed airflow of steam, but the speed of the airflow passing through the three lower impellers will be reduced or even counterproductive. Not only cannot the flywheel speed be faster, but the utilization efficiency of one impeller is higher than Four slices.
But with the words of the little emperor, Zhu Zaiyu found a solution. He could speed up the steam as much as he wanted to slow it down. By installing a completely opposite impeller, he could speed up the steam again.
Zhu Yijun and Zhu Zaiyu chatted for a long time. First, the one-way impeller was symmetrically designed into two, and it became a structure with a thin middle and thick ends. The reason why it is thin in the middle and thick at both ends is because pressure and volume are inversely proportional. , when the steam pressure decreases, the volume will increase, so it should be thin in the middle and thick at both ends. The reason for this design is to utilize the flow rate of steam as much as possible.
On the third day, Zhu Yijun saw the new impeller, which changed from four to seven. There were three stators responsible for accelerating the steam, and four rotors responsible for driving the bearing rotation. It changed from a single cylinder to The parallel bars are lubricated with shark oil in the middle, further improving the utilization efficiency.
Zhu Yijun stared blankly at the steaming, roaring giant beast in front of him, while Zhu Zaiyu was as happy as a child, looking here and there, he was passing by.
Record the wind speed of the steam entering and the wind speed of the air outlet. In Zhu Zaiyu’s view, the reduction of the wind speed at the air outlet is proof of further improvement in efficiency, and the time the impeller works stably is even more important to Zhu Zaiyu. issues of urgent concern.
How to further improve, add impellers, change the shape of the blades, further improve the size of the blades, etc. Turning is only the first step, how to turn it more efficiently, more stably, and for a longer time , is Zhu Zaiyu’s subject.
Zhang Juzheng looked at this scene in amazement. He knew that a new era had quietly begun.
"What's the name of this thing, Uncle Emperor?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
"Wanli built a steam engine." Zhu Zaiyu said concisely and concisely. The steam turbine invented during the Wanli period was the answer given by Zhu Zaiyu.
Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment and said: "Ask King Zheng to make it."
"I don't want to attack King Zheng." Zhu Zaiyu said with great conviction.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Then I will give the emperor a new king? Let's make him King De."
"Your Majesty, King De is the second son of Yingmiao and has already been named king." Zhang Juzheng carefully reminded His Majesty that there was already King De.
"Let Prince De's Mansion be renamed. If not, we will depose the common people. Anyway, my father also deposed the King of Liao, so he is not short of such a De Wang." Zhu Yijun said with great certainty, the meaning of this thing , Zhang Juzheng obviously understood very well that if Prince De's Mansion refused to give in, then he would directly abolish the vassal and send it to Fengyang Gaoqiang.
"If I receive the title of king, I will no longer be able to do business in the capital. The ancestral laws are still there. I just want to take shelter from your majesty and continue to do these strange tricks." Zhu Zaiyu was still dissatisfied. Ken agrees, he doesn't want the title of king, because as a king, he will have a vassal ban, and he can't go anywhere. As long as your majesty continues to support him in his work, he will be very lucky.
Zhu Yijun looked at the roaring steam engine and didn't know what to say for a moment. Thousands of words merged into one sentence, Emperor's uncle cowhide.
Everything about Zhu Zaiyu’s machine comes from Daming’s current technology. With power, Daming’s productivity is about to make a leap.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Emperor, go to the palace tomorrow to collect five hundred thousand taels of silver. Since Uncle Emperor has conquered a real problem, I must reward him."
Zhu Zaiyu shook his head and said: "Thousands of gold buys horse bones. If your majesty gives it to me, the outer court will definitely think that it is the left hand and the right hand. I think this is one way to go. There are other ways to go. Your majesty, please give it to someone else."< br>
"I am doing things with your majesty's money, so there is no need to add rewards."
Zhu Zaiyu still refused to accept the reward, and the emperor made an in-depth investment in him. All his expenditures in the capital in the past few years, including the compilation of arithmetic textbooks, reflecting telescopes for stargazing, calendar astronomy students, apprentices in the inner study, and the compilation of the Wanli Calendar, without His Majesty's full support, he would have spent nothing. Nothing can be done.
He has no money. Which of these things is not a waste of money?
He does not regret, nor does he regret being lured to the capital by His Majesty with a sextant to work as a bull and horse. On the contrary, under the current public opinion of the Ming Dynasty, the things he studies are all deviant without exception. , must take shelter from the imperial power so that his talents can be fully utilized.
So, he named the steam engine Made by Wanli, which was a product of the Wanli period and was not just his own wisdom.
Zhu Zaiyu left with a new improvement plan. Zhu Yijun looked at the stalled steam engine and said to Feng Bao: "I ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a royal palace for the emperor's uncle in the Royal Palace Museum. The regulations are as follows. During the Hongwu period, when the princely system was established, Gao Liji sent from North Korea, Taixi girl sent from Luzon, and Hailar sent from Northern Lu also had to be placed in a place."
"I issued an order to the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor's uncle responded. The etiquette is to treat the prince with courtesy, and there should be no slack. "
"The Ministry of War ordered the emperor's uncle to be equipped with four hundred red-helmeted guards. If the emperor's uncle is in trouble, he will sit on the melons. Don't tolerate it."
"Feng Daban, assign a number of extravagant personnel to the emperor's uncle. All security matters are above the prince's, and all the arrangements for his daily life are handled by the palace."
"What else can I give you? I just give you this little thing. If you talk about it in the future, I'm afraid you will scold me for being ungrateful and ungrateful again. It would be better to give the emperor five hundred thousand taels of silver and throw it down with real money, which will make you feel more at ease. Some. "
"What a strange thing. "
It's not that the reciprocating steam engine was in the wrong technology tree, but there was no research on fluid energy at that time, so the reciprocating steam engine was in line with the Western science and technology tree. Yes, but Daming has already studied hard sails. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
