Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 35 Zhu Shiliu has a problem!

Even though he tried his best to dodge, at the moment the boiler cracked, bits and pieces of scalding water splashed on Cao Wei's body, and it became red and swollen instantly.

Fortunately, the area was not too big or too much, so Cao Wei could bear the slight pain.

Seeing the scene just now, the crowd of onlookers immediately rioted and dodged back avoiding it.

They are afraid that another iron lump will be like the one just now.

"Father!"

Cao Ying screamed in surprise at the first moment and quickly stepped forward to check Cao Wei's injuries.

Seeing the red and swollen patches on Cao Wei's exposed arms, Cao Ying was extremely anxious!
"Father, how are you?"

Cao Wei grinned at him and said, "No problem, no problem, just a little burn."

Seeing that the danger was gone, the crowd of onlookers came forward, worried and comforting Cao Wei.

Most of the villagers are still very simple, and they all belong to the same village. It is normal to come forward to express condolences.

Cao Wei greeted them one by one with a smile, and when the villagers had almost dispersed, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Zhen stepped forward.

Yan Zhen frowned and looked at the redness and swelling on Cao Wei's arm, as well as the wet marks on his clothes.

This means that Cao Wei reacted quickly and made a decisive decision, breaking the boiler with one kick. If the pressure reached the peak and the boiler exploded after a while, Cao Wei would not be the only one suffering.

Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned, but what he was looking at was not Cao Wei, but the steam engine and boiler on the side.

The scald on Cao Wei's body was the same as scratching an itch in his eyes.

Back then, he and his brothers went into battle to kill the enemy. Which one of them didn't get stabbed a few times?Who hasn’t walked around the Naihe Bridge?
It's just a small burn, just apply some ointment and it'll be fine, why make a fuss?
"What's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Cao Wei.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Cao Wei felt an indescribable sense of oppression from Zhu Shiliu!
"There may be something wrong with the inner wall and the piston, and it's stuck," Cao Wei said.

Yan Zhenzhi nodded alone. He and Cao Wei thought the same thing.

Obviously the connecting rod is movable, but it always stops at the same position. It must be because the blacksmiths have not polished it properly.

"Steam engines can originally run. Cao Wei's idea was right, but he just didn't have the experience, so it ended up like this..." Yan Zhenzhi said aloud.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and his face softened.

He also saw everything that happened just now, and he knew that what Yan Zhenzhi said was right.

The theory of the steam engine was correct, but the problem lay in insufficient craftsmanship and lack of experience.

In this way, there is really hope that the steam engine can be successfully developed!
This is great news!
He has seen the effect of the steam engine, it is simply unbelievable!

In addition to making a fire and boiling water, there is almost no other effort!
That huge boulder... was actually pulled up so easily!
In the past, it would have taken at least three or four laborers to move such a huge boulder.

With a steam engine, you only need to light a fire to boil water...

This almost eliminates [-]% of the originally required labor force from [-]%!

While he was excited in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang felt unhappy for a while looking at Cao Ying who looked distressed and worried.

With a small burn, Cao Wei couldn't die...

However, Cao Wei will eventually die a year later.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little helpless, and said, "Since that's the case, you can count on this steam engine. The 200 taels of silver promised by the imperial court will be sent to you someday."

Hearing this, Cao Wei instantly felt no pain anywhere!

Little scald, what's the point!
"But this steam engine needs to be sent to the Ministry of Industry to be dismantled to see what's wrong inside, so that they can continue to develop it." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Cao Wei nodded his head as he had nothing to do. Anyway, the steam engine is just a pile of scrap iron in his hands, and it is not easy to dismantle it.

"Also, the Ministry of Industry will probably need your help to rebuild the steam engine. If necessary, you have to join the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with them."

Cao Wei looked at the old man Zhu who kept making noises in front of him. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, but he still nodded.

"can."

As long as you can get 200 taels, you can talk about anything!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, glanced at Cao Ying again, and then prepared to leave.

The main purpose of coming here today is to see if the steam engine can work. Now that he has finished reading it, he still has government affairs to deal with.

This time Zhu Yuanzhang came out accompanied by Yan Zhenzhi and did not take Jiang Ying with him.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is going back, Yan Zhenzhi naturally has to follow him.

If something happened to Zhu Yuanzhang on his way back alone, one of his Wu Sha Mao and Jiu Clan would probably have to disappear as appropriate.

The figures of Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Zhenzhi drifted away, but Cao Wei stared at them in a daze.

I didn't realize it before, but when I think about it today, I think Zhu Shiliu is very weird!
In the beginning, he went to Cao Wei's house to ask for water. There was nothing to say about this, it was normal.

But he happened to have an old friend in the court, and this old friend was Yan Zhong.

But Yan Zhong and Zhu Shiliu are obviously very different in age. Why did they become "old friends"?
Moreover, Zhu Shishitou only came to his home one day at the beginning, and a huge Kongming lantern was built in the imperial city the next day.

At that time, Cao Wei only thought that the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court was extremely efficient, but now that he thinks about it, how much more efficient can people be at this time?
Moreover, Yan Zhong obviously feels like a follower next to Zhu Shiliu, depending on Zhu Shiliu's face.

Normally speaking, Zhu Shiliu is just an ordinary old man with a wealthy family, while Yan Zhong is a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, so it should be Yan Zhong who dominates.

One more thing, just now!

Why can Zhu Shiliu decide whether the court will give the 200 taels of silver?

And Zhu Shiliu's disposal of the steam engine and the arrangement of the Ministry of Industry, Yan Zhong did not refute at all!
And an ordinary old man would never have the terrifying aura just now...

The more I think about Cao Wei, the more frightened I am!

This Zhu Shiliu probably has a great background!
Maybe it was a senior official from the Ministry of Industry, or even someone like the Minister of Industry!

Otherwise, Yan Zhong, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, has no reason to be his follower!
Gee!
It seems that I have become entangled with a very important person again without realizing it.

Plus Zhu Di...

Cao Wei had a headache.

It was clear that everything was peaceful for the past 12 years, but now there is less than a year left. Why are things becoming more and more bizarre?

Cao Ying felt uneasy as she watched her father stare in the direction of Grandpa Huang, frowning and thinking.

Could it be that my father noticed something?
"Father, father."

Cao Ying's shout pulled Cao Wei out of his chaotic thoughts.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Since this steam engine is still useful, let's move it into the courtyard."

Cao Wei slapped his forehead and grinned again in pain, looking at Yan Zhong again, he was already far away.

In desperation, Cao Wei had no choice but to go to the next door and call two neighbors, and together they carried the steam engine and boiler to the yard.

Then we just have to wait for someone from the Ministry of Industry to take away the steam engine, and then wait for the 200 taels of silver Zhu Shiliu mentioned to see when it will be delivered. After that, everything will be fine!
As for Zhu Di...

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover it.
