Need for a Guard

Chapter 1396 Profiteering

Shi Yue hurried to Gewuyuan, and just entered the exhibition hall, he heard Ouyang Liufeng laughing loudly: "Okay, that's really great, reward! It must be rewarded heavily."

"This is Mr. Ouyang's wisdom." Another excited voice also sounded.

Kong Liren and Han Yuan also came in closely, looked at Shi Yue, and said, "They are just here. Fortunately, it's not too late. Mr. Ouyang has good news."

"Vice Envoy Shi, Mr. Kong and Mr. Han, you are here. Come quickly, and let me see this new thing. It's incredible."

Ouyang Liufeng turned the wheelchair, laughed and came over, and said excitedly to Shi Yue, Han Fang, and Kong Liren: "There are too many talents in Gewu Academy."

Shi Yue hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that something good came out so soon?"

"That's natural, you come with me."

Ouyang Liufeng brought Shi Yue inside, pointed at the two professors with dull expressions, and said: "Don't look at them who can't speak, but they have real skills. Even I admire the wooden craftsmanship, and this blacksmith guy , not only have the strength to strike iron, but also have a whimsical idea!"

The carpenter and blacksmith were really dull, and they didn't know how to flatter Shi Yue, Han Yuan, and Kong Liren, so they just grinned and said hello. [

Shi Yue didn't take it seriously, and asked with a smile: "What kind of fun is it?"

Ouyang Liufeng said: "Look at that carriage..."

Shi Yue, Han Yuan, and Kong Liren walked over, turned left and right around the carriage for a long time, and found several differences in the carriage.

First, Dayan's carriages have two wheels, but this carriage has four wheels, and the body is long and wide.

Second, although the wheels of the carriage are made of wood, the wheels are different. Dayan's wheels are all fixed on nails, but this one is covered with a layer of iron.

Shi Yue saw it in his eyes and praised: "This is a good idea. The two-wheeled carriage is extended into a four-wheeled carriage, which greatly increases the load capacity. Also, this wheel is covered with iron sheets, which can also reduce damage, make friends and last longer. It’s a good innovation, not bad.”

Kong Liren and Han Yuan also praised them again and again. These two improvements alone are beyond what ordinary people can think of.

Ouyang Liufeng snorted, "If it's just these two improvements, how could I be so successful? I even brought you here in such a hurry?"

Shi Yue asked curiously: "Where else? I really didn't see it."

"You can't see it, let's get in the carriage and take a walk around to find out."

Ouyang Liufeng asked someone to drive the carriage outside, harnessed the horses, let Shi Yue, Han Yuan, and Kong Liren sit in the carriage, and asked the groom to gallop the horses.

When he ran, Shi Yue was immediately stunned, and shouted: "Why is it not bumpy at all? It's like walking on flat ground."

Han Yuan was also taken aback, "This...what's going on?"

Kong Liren said: "It's amazing."

Sitting in the car, Shi Yue and the others not only felt that they were walking on flat ground without any bumps, but also there was no such creaking friction sound. [

Shi Yue immediately jumped out of the carriage, pointed at the wheel and shouted to Ouyang Liufeng: "Here! There is a problem here!" Then he stared at the wheel carefully, and shouted: "Bearing, so there are bearings!"

"Huh!" Ouyang Liufeng was taken aback for a moment, before he smiled and said, "Bearing? It's a good name, let's call it Bearing."

Han Yuan and Kong Liren also got out of the carriage, but they didn't understand this, so they became even more curious, wondering why the carriage stopped bumping.

Ouyang Liufeng also pointed to the place covered by the iron sheet in the middle of the wheel, and said: "It's all because of this! Well...it's called a bearing, a good name! Let me tell you, there is something in this bearing, who among you can guess?"

Han Yuan and Kong Liren shook their heads immediately, and Shi Yue said loudly, "There are beads! There are iron beads here, right?"

Ouyang Liufeng was also dumbfounded, "How do you know?"

Those two dull teachers also stared wide-eyed, staring straight at Shi Yue, and after a long while, they choked out a sentence: "Why don't you come to teach, my lord?"

Han Yuan and Kong Liren burst out laughing: Everyone is going to a high place, how can anyone go backwards?

After all, Shi Yue is from the previous life, so of course he probably knows the structure inside, but if he is asked to study the design, he will not have half a talent.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing."

Shi Yue admired him, and his vision was naturally stronger than that of Han Yuan and Kong Liren for thousands of years. He deeply knew that bearings can be regarded as the progress of the times, and his appearance also meant a revolution.

In the past, the structure of the carriage was simple, without bearings, the wheels and axles were made of wood, and the joints were lubricated with lard or soybean oil. This structure determined the bumpiness of the carriage. I don't like to make a carriage, because the carriage is too bumpy, especially when walking on those rugged mountain roads, it can shake a good person to pieces.

Moreover, the lubrication is not good, the carriage is heavy, and the load capacity is small, and it is easy to be damaged.

Now, with the bearings, the carriage is no longer bumpy, the load capacity has increased, and the loss of the carriage has been reduced several times, which is really amazing.

Shi Yue asked the two instructors: "How did you come up with it?"

The two instructors smiled dully: "I just figured it out by staying together."

"Hey, it's really dull."

Ouyang Liufeng explained: "This carpenter's craftsmanship is very good, and the blueprints are also good. I have this idea for a long time, but the wooden beads are not good. I drank with the blacksmith who made iron. The iron general saw the blueprint and designed the iron. Beads, and designed the frame, I also discovered this idea, slightly modified it, combined the two, and developed such a bearing.”

"Good! Great!"

Shi Yue clapped his hands and said to Han Yuan and Kong Liren: "See if you see it? This is the collective wisdom. If there is no Gewuyuan, I am afraid that this bearing will not be designed in a lifetime. Moreover, this bearing can not only be used on carriages, but only need a little improvement. , windmills, waterwheels, plows, etc. can be used.”

As soon as this remark came out, the carpenter's eyes lit up, he bared his big yellow teeth, and said with a chuckle: "My lord, it's a pity that you don't teach."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Shi Yue pointed to the carpenter and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Nie San!"

"What about you?" Shi Yue pointed to the blacksmith again.

"My name is Silly Four."

Shi Yue said: "Nie San, silly Si! Well, you have made great contributions to the Gewu Academy. This is a good start, and we must reward them heavily. Brother Kong, reward them with 2000 taels of silver each, and inform the whole academy so that all teachers can learn from them." Take Nie San and Sha Si as examples, as long as you research something good, you must be rewarded."

Nie San and Silly Siyi were stunned when they heard that each of them was rewarded with 1000 taels of silver. They usually only earn 100 taels of silver a year. This is great. They just entered Gewuyuan and made some casual things, and they made money 1000 taels of silver, this is too unexpected and exciting.

Now, they finally stopped being dull, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Yue, smiling all over their faces: "My lord, you...you are so generous, you are so rich, you are such a man! We...we must do our best."

Shi Yue hurriedly helped Nie San and Sisi up, thinking: I'm so generous!Just relying on this bearing, I can earn back several million taels.
