Datang first village

Li Er's expression was calm, but the hand on Li Yuanxing's shoulder couldn't help exerting strength.He said to Qin Qiong who was beside him: "Shubao will test it later, how about some things?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Qiong saluted.

The crossbow was naturally handed over to the imperial army, and Bai Erwa also retreated to a distance.

"I want a reward! I want a big reward!" Li Er whispered to Li Yuanxing, and Li Yuanxing nodded with a smile: "My brother rewarded him, and rewarded him with a house, and he can choose a woman who is willing to be his concubine among the female slaves in Yaozhou." room, and even rewarded him with a catty of meat every day!"

Li Er laughed, threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out with his foot, took out his own pipe and lit it: "Tell me, how many titles do you want!"

"I don't know, how many are there, how much do you want?"

"How many things like this are there, how much are you giving!"

The conversation is very twisted, if it is replaced by the Chinese test for foreigners, it must be confused.Both Li Er and Li Yuanxing laughed, it's not the master title, as many skillful craftsmen as there are, you can give them as many titles.

A Xi Jun can be promoted as a seventh-rank school lieutenant, and a good craftsman can't be given a title?

The two were about to say something more when they suddenly heard loud cheers from the crowd.

Today is not a celebration, so Li Er just appeared here as a spectator.No foreign envoys were specially invited.But according to the observation of Qin Qiong's subordinates, none of the foreign envoys was bad, and they all sent people to mix among the people.

"Drive!" A steward shouted, and the water truck started to transport, and the sackcloth that wrapped the giant beast was torn off.

This is the fully unfolded rock crusher, nearly five feet high and seven feet wide, and then there is a ten-foot-long shed, which houses the hydraulically connected power transmission belts. For these belts, the pigs are unlucky.

Fortunately, the slaves of Yaozhou slaughtered nearly ten thousand pigs before picking out the best parts, adding hemp and silk to weave these belts.

Hundreds of laborers pushed the wheelbarrows to push the big stones up the slope.

As soon as the machine was turned on, the steel rollers of the stone crusher started to spin. Ma Yuan's heart was also empty. This was only made according to the drawings of His Highness King Qin. Can it really crush such existing stones?

Not only Ma Yuan, but the common people were even more worried. The original noise disappeared and turned into whispers!

"It's really worthless, so what if you fail, at most you can do it again!" Li Yuanxing was very calm on the contrary, Li Er shook his head lightly when he heard this, in short, he hoped to succeed.

"Fall!" Ma Yuan shouted with all his strength.

The labor of pushing carts is also scary. A wheelbarrow is loaded with two stones, which are bucket-sized stones. One bucket is ten liters, and one liter of water is one kilogram.

The first laborer who pushed the cart gritted his teeth, and the cart fell forward, and two stones fell into the crusher one after the other.

The sound of clicking, clicking came from the stone crusher.

Li Yuanxing chose the bar style, because he was afraid that Datang would not be motivated enough, so he chose the bar style.It is to crush the stone with the force similar to the bite of the teeth, and then squeeze the stone into more pieces by the iron roller.

"Fall, keep pouring!" Ma Yuan knew that once the machine started working, throwing a few stones was meaningless.And with the help of the force of the stones squeezing each other, the effect will be even better.

Under Ma Yuan's order, the laborers began to line up and pour stones into the giant beast.

The huge clicking sound became louder and louder, and half-inch-sized stones gushed out like flowing water from the bottom outlet.

Wow!The people cheered loudly.

The laborers were also full of energy. Hundreds of people lined up and poured stones into the hopper continuously.

A carriage filled with more than 500 catties of gravel quickly.

The top is poured quickly, and the bottom is loaded quickly.

Li Yuanxing did not use these gravels for playing, but for road construction.One is ten feet wide, the roadbed is dug one foot, and after the concrete is laid, the gravel is laid, and after compaction, cement is used as the road surface.

Fifteen miles long, gravel was laid on the prepared roadbed.

"Wu Lang, when will the cement you mentioned be used?" Li Er watched from a distance with the help of a telescope.

"Brother Huang, the weather is too cold. It can only be used when the flowers bloom in the warm spring. The cement is very brittle after being frozen. If it is to be as strong as a steel plate, it must be used after the weather is warm. I hope it can be used within three months. After completing the roadbed for two hundred miles, the road surface will be completed in the next three months. However, I still want this road to be more beautiful!"

When Li Yuanxing was speaking, Qin Qiong leaned over: "Your Majesty, Your Highness. People from other countries are approaching the steel crusher!"

"Let them watch!" Li Yuanxing really didn't care.

So what if you can learn it, just learn it, and learn to see what is the use of this thing on the grassland.

But Li Er picked up the binoculars and watched from a distance.

Li Er, the person closest to the stone crusher, had the impression that he was an envoy and assistant official of Gaochang Kingdom, and he seemed to be a man of some knowledge.I have a deep understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty and the Han nationality.

According to rumors, this requires 10,000+ catties of iron, so naturally you have to see it with your own eyes.

The military of the Tang Dynasty has received an order to allow the common people to watch closely, but they must line up neatly, and everyone is not allowed to stay, and must leave after turning around for a look. There are tens of thousands of people waiting to watch.

If you want to take a closer look, ten days later.

After Deputy Envoy Gao Chang approached, he pretended that his shoes had been trampled off. After getting permission, he turned around to pick up the shoes, and looked at this huge steel monster seriously.

The pillars supporting this monster are refined iron pillars, definitely high-quality refined iron.Not the rumored pig iron.

And the two-foot-thick column with dense spikes on it is not made of iron no matter how you look at it, let alone pig iron.It was fine steel, and the shiny teeth that were ground by stones had a color that only fine steel could have.

Look at the shaft of the runner, it's made of fine steel.

The most amazing thing is the part that supports the shaft. He can't understand it, he can't understand it at all, why the tightly clamped copper sleeve can make the shaft turn so easily!It's simply incomprehensible.

A giant beast made of steel, in just half an hour, pulled away hundreds of carriages of gravel.

This is tens of thousands of catties of gravel, and it will take Cheng Renli to smash it. I don't know how long it will take.

"Let's go, leave quickly!" A sergeant came to chase away people, and Deputy Envoy Gao Chang quickly retreated from here.

After a while, several members of the envoys who had been friends with each other gathered together, exchanging the information they had seen and heard.

"Did Tang use so much steel to make such monsters just for gravel?" Someone asked.

No one answered, because the ancients were completely unable to understand what is the process of industrialization.

In their eyes, it is enough to smash the gravel with manpower, and it will be enough to smash it slowly for a few months. 10,000+ catties of refined iron, and high-grade refined steel, how many swords and shields need to be made.

Another person said: "Is the Tang Dynasty telling us that the swords are stored in the warehouse, so they won't fight outside?"

Immediately there was a dissenting voice: "No, or it means that Datang has so much steel that we can't even imagine it!"

It's just a stone crusher, so is it worth the fuss?

However, Li Er also did not understand: "Goro, is it worth it for you to use 10,000+ catties of steel!"

"Brother Huang, even if you say that, why don't I settle the score for you!"

"it is good!"

"To build this road, 5 people are needed. Having a stone crusher can save at least a few thousand labors. These few people can be counted. Just count the 5 people. If there is no stone crusher, 5 people will repair two How long do you think it will take for a hundred li, ten feet wide brother Lu Huang?"

Li Er thought for a moment: "One year, even two years!"

"On a yearly basis, how much will these 5 people eat. Just eat, not other accounts!"

Li Yuanxing was very confident, but he didn't continue to count after this.

For 5 people, one hundred thousand catties of grain per day is equivalent to one penny per catty, one hundred thousand catties is one hundred grains per day.

Then one hundred days is [-] guan, and the money saved is [-] guan.This is just food, not including wages and other expenses.

The value of one hundred thousand catties of iron seems to have been exchanged.

"Brother Huang, my ministers used 5 people not only to build this road, but also to renovate the Jinghe River, open a canal for 38 miles in Yaozhou, and get [-] mu of fertile land after the spring. Medicinal materials or food are both income, and steel is just a dead thing, and it is a good thing after it is valued the most!"

Li Yuanxing's explanation was very satisfactory to Li Er.

In fact, Li Yuanxing is also changing Li Er's concept little by little. There is no way to make the ancients understand what is industrialization with any books. Only seeing the real benefits is the real change.

"Brother Huang, there is another machine. If it is finished, it is equivalent to the speed of five hundred blacksmiths making armor leaves every day, and the quality is high. This machine alone can produce dozens of armor leaves in a day."

Li Er nodded again.

In fact, Li Er understood some of the truths.

For example, the improved loom, with eight looms in one machine, naturally increased the speed several times.

And the hydraulic loom not only weaves well, but also at a faster speed.

cost!Li Er has gradually understood this term, which means the cost of making a thing.

Changing to Datang can also be understood as, how much is rewarded and how much is paid for what Datang wants to do.

"Goro let it go, Brother Wei has to take care of government affairs this year. Readjust the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and tell Brother Brother if you need anything." Li Er wanted to go back in a hurry, and read the book again. Book of Political Economy.

A volume of imperial decree was stuffed into Li Yuanxing's hands.

There was no reading, and no incense table was set up. It was just that Li Er took it out of his sleeve and stuffed it to Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.This is to let yourself spend money, bloody money!

Datang Royal University, Datang Royal Primary School, Datang Royal Women's College, all have to be built by themselves! ! ! (To be continued.)
