Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 21 Park Uncle Ru Taisu

"Master Wu, I'm going out for a moment. If anyone comes to see me, just tell me that I'm at the War Bureau."

Li Wei left his seat and greeted Wu Bozong.

Wu Bozong, who was busy with official duties, raised his head and agreed without saying much. In fact, it was common for government offices to skip work. As long as it didn't delay things, the chief officials usually didn't care. What's more, Li Wei himself was the chief official of Wenyuan Pavilion. , and he was going to run an errand assigned by the emperor, so he didn’t really skip work.

After leaving Wenyuan Pavilion, Li Wei asked the guards about the location of the war bureau and then left the Meridian Gate.

The innermost part of the layout of the palace is the palace city. This palace and that palace are all in the palace city. Wenyuan Pavilion, where Li Wei works, is next to the Meridian Gate of the palace city. It is also considered to be inside the palace, so it has the name of the cabinet.

The imperial city is surrounded by the imperial city. The imperial city mainly contains the various yamen of the inner court, the pro-army Yu Linwei, the Taimiao Temple, and Sheji. Further outside is the Yingtian Mansion.

The so-called Sheji refers to the Earth God and the Grain God respectively. As an agricultural civilization, these two are the foundation of the country. Ancestors are worshiped in the Taimiao, and these two gods are worshiped in the Sheji. This is the foundation of the ancient feudal society: based on agriculture, Only by following the Ethical Principles, having a foundation for establishing oneself, and having the order of seniority and youth can such a huge national organization be stably supported!
Li Wei wandered out of the Meridian Gate. At the door, he saw an old man holding an oversized "writing brush" and writing on the floor tiles nearby. There was a bucket not far away, which looked quite a bit... It has the taste of Park Master in later generations.

At first, Ru Taisu thought it was interesting to practice calligraphy like this, but after a while he didn't think so anymore. The original regular script also turned into wild cursive, and he wanted to write millions of words in one go.

This situation made Li Wei stop involuntarily, stepped forward and said with a cheerful smile:
"Hey, Uncle Ru, where are you practicing calligraphy?"

Ru Taisu, who was concentrating on writing his "homework", raised his head when he heard this and saw that it was Li Wei, the treacherous person. His face suddenly turned black. He stopped what he was doing and pointed at Li Wei and cursed:

"Shameless traitor, you will be punished sooner or later!"

"Haha, why is the old man so bad-tempered? It's true! Forget it, we don't have the same experience as you."

Li Wei laughed twice, whistled and turned around to leave.

"You..."

"Stop! Don't leave, write quickly!"

Ru Taisu wanted to catch up and scold him, but was stopped by the censor supervising him.

"My lord, could you please be accommodating?"

Ru Taisu lowered his posture and begged.

"no!"

The imperial censor refused righteously. These officials were all specially selected by Zhu Yuanzhang. They would criticize others, but most of them did adhere to their principles. To put it bluntly, they were accepting death and being unkind. It was impossible for him to be accommodating!

Ru Taisu returned to his original position helplessly and continued to write furiously...

After many twists and turns, Li Wei finally found the war station in the northwest corner of the imperial city. There were tinkling and banging sounds from inside, which sounded quite busy.

After entering the door, a craftsman who was working hurriedly greeted him. Seeing that he was wearing official uniform, he did not dare to neglect.

"I pay my respects to you, my lord. May I ask why this lord is here?"

"Oh, His Majesty asked me to come over and take a look. Where are you in charge?"

"My lord, please follow me."

Hearing that it was the emperor's order, the craftsman did not dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly led the way.Li Wei followed the craftsman to a small room, which must have been the department office. The door was open, and Li Wei saw a familiar figure at a glance.

"Xiao Dezi, why are you here?"

"Master Li..."

Xiao Dezi turned his head when he heard the voice, saw it was Li Wei, and stood up quickly.

Sitting opposite him, a middle-aged craftsman who was slightly better dressed than ordinary craftsmen also quickly stood up. When he heard Xiao Dezi calling Mr. Li Wei, his face that was originally ashen suddenly filled with joy, and his body almost rose from the chair. He bounced up and rushed to meet Xiao Dezi.

"Master Li? Are you Master Li? Master Li, you have to save us!"

This middle-aged craftsman ran up to Li Wei, knelt down, hugged his thigh and begged, which shocked Li Wei.

"Who are you? Get up!"

Li Wei hurriedly tried to help him up, but he pulled and failed.

"Master Li, you have to save us!"

The middle-aged man was unmoved and continued to cry. Li Wei turned his eyes to Xiao Dezi, who sighed slightly and explained to Li Wei.

It turned out that as early as the second day after Li Wei appeared, after showing Zhu Yuanzhang the things on the computer, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited a group of craftsmen into the imperial city and set up this war bureau. Then he described several things to these craftsmen. Let them make those things from later generations that he has seen on the computer according to his requirements.

These craftsmen were dumbfounded at the time. What kind of iron car could travel thousands of miles a day without oxen and horses, and could be driven by just one person? A firecracker that could fire continuously as long as the trigger was pulled, without the need for ignition. Zhu Yuanzhang said all kinds of things. They sound like fantasy and nonsense!
But if the emperor has a decree, they must build it. Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care whether they believe it or not!
As a result, they created two completely different things. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he saw it. He scolded them and claimed that he would chop off their heads if they couldn't create them again. This frightened the craftsmen!
But what can they do? They have tried their best!

The middle-aged craftsman in front of him is called Fang Jianbao. He is the boss here and can be regarded as the head of the department. In addition to him, there are several other managers here.

And Xiao Dezi was the eunuch in charge of the war bureau appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang. This was the case in the imperial palace and the inner court. The eunuch controlled the inner court on behalf of the imperial power. It was impossible for the inner court yamen to let those officials take charge of affairs.

Li Wei rolled his eyes after knowing the whole story. This Lao Zhu, does he think those things can be made casually?That is the crystallization of hundreds of years of wisdom from countless intelligent elites in later generations!
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it was unlikely, but this did not prevent him from letting people give it a try. If it really happened, then Li Wei would not be so important. If he was angered by the time, it would not be as simple as a slap in the face. Got it!

"Okay, okay, get up quickly and take me over to see what you have built."

Li Wei pulled Fang Jianbao up with all his strength.

Hearing that Li Wei wanted to see what they had built, Fang Jianbao stood up wiping his tears, but still held onto Li Wei's sleeves tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Although this was very rude, but for the sake of He didn't care about his life.

Fang Jianbao took Li Wei to an open space. In the center of the venue was a strange-looking iron car. The body of this car was entirely made of iron sheets, but it only had three wheels. There were two pedal-like curved wheels in front. The stick looks similar to the pedal-driven tricycle of later generations, except that instead of a chain, there are a bunch of gears connecting the wheel axles at the back.

"Okay, you guys actually built a tricycle!"

Li Wei looked at such a "tricycle" in surprise and praised Niubi. These ancient craftsmen were quite capable of creating such a thing under the pressure of life and death!
Fang Jianbao listened to Li Wei's praise, but his face was not happy at all. This tricycle was "thousands of miles" short of the "thousands of miles a day" required by His Majesty.

Fang Jianbao recruited a craftsman and demonstrated it to Li Wei. The man stepped on the "pedals" and pedaled hard, and the tricycle started to move slowly. Although the craftsman had worked very hard, the speed of this thing was only slower than that of ordinary people. Walking is just a little bit faster, but anyone who walks in a hurry can be faster than it.

After all, this thing doesn't have bearings or lubricants like later generations, so it's very hard to pedal!
