Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 510 Rebuilding the West Mountain ([-] in [-])

After leaving the palace, Liu Hongjian almost didn't stop, and rushed directly to the Guozijian to deal with his errands.

There were two Imperial Colleges in the North and the South in the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Nanjing, he first established the Imperial College in Nanjing. After his son Zhu Dijing failed to succeed, he felt uneasy staying in Nanjing because of the name, so he moved the capital to his hometown Beiping and changed Beiping is Beijing, and it is euphemistically called the emperor guarding the gate.

As an indispensable educational institution in the past dynasties, Guozijian also took root in the capital, and it was called Jingshi Guozijian.

Although compared with Yingtianfu Guozijian, which is full of talents, the number of students and the quality of teaching in Jingshi Guozijian are inferior, but there are more than 4000 people, all of whom are top scholars from all over the north.

The Guozijian has been very lively these past few days. Since Kong Yanzhi came from Shandong to sue Mingming Liu Hongjian for demolishing the mansion of Kong Shengren, this group of passionate and desperadoes went crazy.

In the beginning, they went to Anguo County Prince's Mansion in groups to question them harshly, and then Jin Yiwei came forward and spread the word in the palace, and then they messed around and were directly expelled from their merits and sent back to their hometowns. The group had no choice but to compromise.

They really didn't dare to go to the county prince's mansion to make trouble again, but they couldn't hold back their vigorous anger. In addition, they all thought they were poets, and they even started fighting in poetry when their master was away.

And the protagonist of the poem is of course the notorious () () Anguo County King Liu Hongjian.

What kind of foxes and mice are good at one cave, and tigers and snakes walk nine kui.No matter the sky has eyes, but the ground has no skin.

What kind of cattle and sheep are given to jackals and wolves to graze, and they have taken all the grace of the emperor for their own sake, and they have written Liu Hongjian as a robber, bandit, and shit-stirring stick that harms the country and the people, and has wolf ambitions.

Among them, a prison student named Wang Genji was the happiest. Not only did he write in the Imperial College, but in order to show off his great talent, he even secretly posted the poems on the street outside the Prince's Mansion in Anguo County.

On this day, Juzi, who had nowhere to release his idle energy, was tired of writing poems, and he was worried about the couplets at the Prince's Mansion in Anguo County.

Dozens of executors said one sentence to another, and they actually thought about all the door stickers of the various courtyards of the county prince's mansion inside and out.

"Brother Wang, your plaque is wonderfully written, it's really high!" Seven or eight people gathered around Wang Genji and praised him without saying a word.

"Well, what Brother Renmin said is very true. If this painting is hung on the gate of the Prince's Mansion in Anguo County, it will say 'complementing each other', it is wonderful, wonderful!" Another scholar echoed.

"Who is going to write a plaque on this king's mansion? Get up and let this king watch and emulate!"

The group of scholars were so focused on judging the words on the table that no one noticed that Liu Hongjian had entered the courtyard.

Seeing the Prince of Anguo himself coming to the Imperial College suddenly, a group of scholars who had secretly written satirical poems for several days thought that Liu Hongjian was here to find fault, and they all stood there dumbfounded.

The matter of Kong Yanzhi in the court has not yet reached the Guozijian. Don’t look at this group of scholars who usually speak wild words and look like they dare to be the first in the world. up.

This is a ruthless man. I heard that he killed tens of thousands of Tartars outside the customs.

"Are you Xiao Wang?" Liu Hongjian asked Wang Genji, who was at a loss in front of the table. This fellow posted a poem a few days ago and was caught by Jin Yiwei and drew a portrait. Liang Yang last night specifically mentioned.

Liu Hongjian still knew the goods, and with his conscience, Wang Genji's poems were not bad, but they were not in the right place.

"Oh, look at my mouth, you are the foundation!" Liu Hongjian felt that this name was inappropriate, so he changed his name.

"Let's call you Xiaoji! Eh..." Liu Hongjian was taken aback, this name...what's my name?

"My name is Wang Genji, the character is born, the prince can call me the name of the word." Wang Genji twitched the corner of his mouth angrily, but he didn't dare to attack.

"Oh Peanut, let me have a look at your post." Liu Hongjian said immediately when he saw that this guy was blocking him.

"Don't dare not dare, the writing is clumsy, I'm afraid I will disappoint the prince, so I don't want to read it." Wang Genji dared to show it to Liu Hongjian. He was arrested by Jin Yiwei a few days ago. It is estimated that he is still eating in prison.

"You idiot, what are you doing so coquettishly, why don't you dare to show it to others when you write a good sentence." Niu Da Bangchui stepped forward and snatched the rice paper over.

"Hey? Master, I know these four characters. The sky is three feet high. This is to praise you for your wise handling, hehe.

You idiot, it’s not easy to praise my master. If my master is happy, just recommending you can make you 200 years ahead of this group of scholars. "

While talking, Niu Dabangchui handed the rice paper to Liu Hongjian, completely ignoring Wang Genji's pale face.

The sky is three feet high, the sky is three feet high...

"Hmph! Okay, how dare you slander the current prince, Wang Genji, are you guilty?" Liu Hongjian took the paper and thought for a while, then suddenly said angrily.

"I'm just criticizing the current affairs. Don't you think people are telling the truth?" Wang Genji suddenly hardened at this moment.

"Criticizing current affairs? Talking loudly!

Do you know how the clothes you wear are made?How much sweat does it take to eat rice grains?

Can we know what kind of life the people in various places are living?Do you know how to deal with the endless stream of refugees?
Know how to deal with disasters?How to deal with disaster victims?How to keep them alive? "

Liu Hongjian raised a series of questions almost in one breath, and he didn't know where to start to explain what the scholars said.

"I am reading the books of sages and sages, and I am doing the work of a gentleman. A gentleman stays away from the kitchen to do great things, so how can he get involved in such lowly things!" A scholar suddenly said from behind.

"Which one are you? It's a gentleman's job to hide your head and show your tail?" Liu Hongjian glanced back and didn't see it.

"Wei Renmin, a student of the Guozijian, please enlighten me." Wei Renmin squeezed out from behind. His father is the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian in the capital. Compared with other students, he is more courageous.

"Sit in a well and watch the sky, know how hard your material resources are! Without the weaving craftsman, do you run naked? Without the farmer, you eat shit!

For the people, what a waste of this name! "Liu Hongjian spit all over Wei Renmin's face.

Wei Renmin was spat on the face by Liu Hongjian like a cannonball, and was about to refute this vulgar remark, but Liu Hongjian never gave him a chance.

"In Daming, farmers who pick up dung can talk about politics, craftsmen and soldiers with knives can talk about politics, and even prostitutes in flower houses can talk about politics.

But you can't!
If I let the king know that there is a scholar who dares to spread rumors and slander the courtiers, the king wants to forgive you, but the board of the Ministry of Punishment does not want to forgive you! "Liu Hongjian said angrily.

Scholar has no social experience, he listens to wind and rain, takes things for granted, and is always passionate, knowing that he is easily used as a knife by others. This has been the case throughout the ages.

After Liu Hongjian finished speaking angrily, regardless of whether the group of scholars could listen in, he walked through a row of long corridors, walked to the statue of Confucius in the middle of the Imperial College, took out the incense candles he had prepared long ago and lit them. Inserted it on the table and incense burner, bowed three more times, and left the Guozijian in a hurry.

"Master, didn't that idiot's handwriting compliment you? Why are you so angry?" Niu Dabangchui followed Liu Hongjian a little puzzled.

"You idiot, this is not a compliment to me. The sky is three feet high. How could the sky be taller? It's because the ground is three feet shorter!" After speaking, Liu Hongjian got on his horse and ran straight. Xishan Ordnance Institute.

The armory was busy as usual, Liu Hongjian opened a high-quality store, the food was good, and the craftsmen worked hard.

"My lord is here, the old man is looking for you, look at this." Song Yingxing pointed at a strange looking thing in the laboratory with his hands full of black coal.

"I knew you, Mr. Song, were here. How about it? Has the steam engine made a breakthrough?" Seeing Song Yingxing's excited look, Liu Hongjian glanced at a strange machine on the ground and said.

The blueprint of the steam engine was given to Song Yingxing a long time ago, but this thing is too avant-garde for Daming.

Although the principle is clear, but the actual development, not to mention other things, only the iron bumps that are connected as one body stumped Lao Song.

But when encountering problems and solving them, being willing to study is the most outstanding quality of all engineering masters. Apart from busying with the affairs of the workshops of the entire Ordnance Institute, he would sneak into his own exclusive laboratory whenever he had time, pondering blueprints, and pondering iron lumps .

"It's almost there, it's almost there, I'll let the prince take a look first." Song Yingxing washed his hands and ordered his servants to heat up the coal.

As the fire grows, the water in the boiler gradually boils.

Liu Hongjian didn't say much, standing next to the machine and focused on watching the first thing that could be called a machine manufactured by Ordnance.

He also understood the principle of the steam engine. An iron steam pipe protruded from the top of the boiler, and the strange object connected to the pipe should be the cylinder.

The valve on the side of the cylinder controls the time when the steam reaches the cylinder, enters the slide valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and enters the left or right side of the cylinder alternately under the control of the slide valve.

Open the left exhaust valve, and the high-pressure steam pushes the piston to move to the left. When the movement is at the extreme left, open the left intake valve and close the right exhaust valve, and press high-pressure steam to the left side of the cylinder to make the cylinder piston move to the right.

The steam pushes the piston to do work in the cylinder, and the cooled steam is introduced into the condenser through the pipe and condensed into water again. This process is repeated continuously when the steam engine is running.

Boom—boom—as the steam pressure continued to increase, the flywheel set outside slowly rotated, making quite a loud noise.

"It's done! Mr. Song! It's done!" Liu Hongjian slapped his hands and walked around the steam engine regardless of the pain in his hands.

"Well, it can be regarded as the initial effect, but it is still a little far from the requirements of the adults, and the old man has already found the problem.

Give the old man a little more time, and the old man is sure to strengthen the driving force of this steam engine. "Song Yingxing stroked his beard and said.

Liu Hongjian also noticed the problem. Although the noise was quite loud, the speed of the flywheel was not as fast as that of a duck in water.

It's just that most of the original steam engines were connected by multiple cylinders, and the force could be increased by working together. I think Song Yingxing thought of this too.

The main warship of Ming Dynasty is the Fuchuan. Although this thing can be made very large, it is limited to the driving force, so it is also a competent target.

Although the Treasure Shipyard in Tianjin has mastered the production of the Zheng family's main force, Liu Hongjian has not ordered large-scale construction.

He was waiting, waiting for the iron workshop, and waiting for the steam engine.

He wants to be the strongest ship in this era, the fastest ship, and what he wants is not a warship, but a battleship.

The moment the flywheel turned, Liu Hongjian knew that this step had been taken.

The two ordered their servants to cook some side dishes at Song Yingxing's residence, and they chatted while eating. When they heard that Liu Hongjian was going to open a school and had obtained Chongzhen's approval, Song Yingxing was overjoyed.

If craftsmen can also enter the hall for further study like Confucian scholars, what kind of scene will it be? It is not an exaggeration to say that they know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom.

It was heard that Liu Hongjian planned to take in all the disciples from poor families of the right age from all over the country for free at his own expense, but Song Yingxing didn't even care about food, so he directly dragged Liu Hongjian out of the site where the ordnance was selected.

Xishan is located in the west of the capital city and at the northern end of Taihang Mountain. Although it is not big, the scenery is extremely beautiful. The Wuding River runs through it, dividing Xishan into two sections, the north and the south.

Although it is gradually entering winter now, the mountains are still full of forests, and the red-leaved trees adorn the West Mountain, which is particularly quiet and beautiful.

The armory is adjacent to the residential area of ​​the craftsmen, and there are glass workshops, spinning workshops, etc. It is too noisy, and both of them are dissatisfied.

Liu Hongjian didn't intend to make small troubles, but to do the biggest thing, to create the best research conditions for his disciples, which coincided with Song Yingxing's idea.

The two left the armory in a carriage and continued westward. They were not satisfied with several places suitable for building a school.

Walking straight to the intersection of Wuding River and Xishan, Liu Hongjian and Song Yingxing looked at each other and immediately made a decision.

That's it!
This place is about two miles away from the armory station, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is quiet, and there is a large open space, it is simply the natural location of the school.

"Mr. Song, I have an idea. What if you rebuilt the entire Xishan Mountain and moved the ordnance station to the mountainside of the Xishan Mountain?" After finalizing the address of the Engineering College, Liu Hongjian walked to the Wuding River and said.

On the left of the Ordnance Office is the spinning workshop, on the right is the residential area of ​​craftsmen and construction teams, and behind it is the musket and artillery workshop. The environment is noisy, not to mention the problem of leaking secrets, and it is not safe.

After all, the Ordnance Institute is specialized in scientific research, and all of them are highly skilled and high-level craftsmen, or it is not an exaggeration to say that they are engineers.

If the musket and the artillery workshop are not careful when playing with gunpowder, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out?
"My lord is right, it's just that things need to be done one by one, and the artisan school is more important, but my lord can consider recruiting more civilians." Song Yingxing, as the second-tier head of the Ordnance Institute, naturally knows what's going on here.

But now his mind is all about the school, making craftsmen feel proud and passing on engineering knowledge to the world is much more important than rebuilding Xishan.

Liu Hongjian knew that Uncle Song was stubborn, so he didn't say much. He didn't have much money, but the uncles in the palace had it, so he had to beg for it.

In fact, he had already thought about the idea of ​​rebuilding Xishan. Building the scientific research institution in the mountain would be safe and control idlers.

Then build a few villas on the top of the mountain as your own courtyard, and you can take your wife and children over from time to time to enjoy the quietness of the mountains.

He has long been tired of living in the capital.

In the next few days, Liu Hongjian simply lived in the Ordnance Institute. After choosing the address, the two of them went to work. The construction team immediately pulled to the Wuding River. Regardless of the harsh winter, thousands of people cut down trees and leveled the land. Dry in full swing.

It's just that Liu Hongjian didn't live in peace for a few days, and the uncles in the palace came to the door.

"My lord, my lord has an order to announce that you will immediately enter the palace to discuss matters!"
