Daming daddy

Chapter 196 The prototype of the steam engine
The worst part of a hangover is that you're sure to wake up with a splitting headache the next morning.This is not the most painful thing for Wei Ming.Only when he saw Zhu Huiyan sleeping on the same bed with him did he know what pain is.Zhu Huiyan?Isn't it Qin Yuxin's?I remember that someone wanted to separate me from her yesterday, but I still hugged her tightly, fearing that others would take away my treasure.Is Zhu Youxiao a pig brain?How can you let me live like this!Before Zhu Huiyan woke up, Wei Ming hurried out of bed, put on his clothes, and prepared to run away.Just pretend nothing happened, okay?Seeing that although Zhu Huiyan's clothes are a bit messy, at least she is still wearing clothes, isn't she?Besides, what can an eleven or twelve-year-old girl do without her clothes off?Thinking of this, I finally felt a little calmer.As soon as the door was opened, Wei Ming collapsed.Zhu Youxiao didn't see him, but there was a dead eunuch guarding the door.This eunuch is an old acquaintance, Wei Zhongxian.

"Old Wei, what are you doing at my door when you have nothing to do?" Wei Ming said angrily.It is definitely not suitable to go out today. I met this old dog just after I left the room. Don't even think about having a good appetite for the whole day.

"Marquis Wei, how did you rest last night?" Wei Zhongxian looked at Wei Ming with a half-smile.Dare to meet the princess in front of the emperor, that means you, Marquis Wei, can do it, right?But Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to explain his words.It would be bad if it made Wei Ming fly into a rage.Wei Zhongxian couldn't figure it out either, what's so good about a little girl?Can't you Wei Hou find a warm quilt?Or do you just like little girls?The more he thought about it, the more evil he became, the more ridiculous the expression on his face was, seeing the black lines on Wei Ming's head.

"Whether I sleep well or not is none of your business!" Wei Ming said angrily, and wanted to run away after speaking.

"Marquis Wei's words are wrong. We are ministers in the same palace, so we should care about each other, right? Besides, the humble official still has official duties. I wonder if the princess has woken up? The humble official has to take the princess back to the palace What?" Wei Zhongxian's words made Wei Ming despair.Zhu Youxiao sent Wei Zhongxian here to tell himself that you can't afford this matter, so you can figure it out.Zhu Youxiao, you are so cruel!
"Old Wei, it's fine if you didn't clean it yourself, why are you concerned about other people's sexual affairs?" Wei Ming asked with squinting eyes.Suddenly I feel that Wei Zhongxian is more annoying than the Donglin Party.At least the Donglin Party doesn't do ward rounds, doesn't it?

"Weihou, you said this, don't blame me then." Wei Zhongxian said happily.The Donglin Party jumped into the pit by itself, and now Marquis Wei, who has always been known for his cleverness, also dug a hole and jumped into it himself.What the hell is going on in this world?Why do you suddenly feel that the world has become stupid all of a sudden?Could it be that your good days are coming?The more I think about Wei Zhongxian, the more excited I get.

"Old Wei, your surname is Wei, and I'm also surnamed Wei. Although we're not a Wei, we can still be regarded as members of the Wei family! Why do we bother each other?" Wei Mingyu patted Wei Zhongxian on the shoulder earnestly and said. .For a moment, Wei Ming wanted to reach out and break Wei Zhongxian's neck.However, when you think about your strength, forget it.I can't even twist the neck of a chicken, let alone a person's.

"What Marquis Wei said is true. Then I will take the princess away, okay?" Wei Zhongxian said.

"Let's talk about it later when the princess wakes up. She was drunk last night. If you wake her up now, it would be weird if you didn't kill her." Wei Ming left after saying this.Yesterday Song Yingxing said that he had something to report to him, so he went to see it quickly.If the steam engine is really well studied, then the Ming Dynasty can lead the world by a hundred years.Although there are not many, at least they are not behind. Others have used steam boats, and we still use our hands to row, which is a bit funny.It would be a strange thing if he could beat others.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Wei Mingyuan's back, and then looked at the room with the door tightly closed, and his mind was a little overwhelmed.What does this mean, Your Majesty?Want to betroth the princess to Wei Ming?Otherwise why let such a thing happen?If so, Wei Ming now has a regular wife and a concubine in name.Because of this concubine's room, Wei Ming made a big fuss about joining the government when he was in Guangzhou, which has already been widely known.Why bother?If you go there, you may not be able to be a regular wife.Wei Ming's reputation for being strict with his wife is much greater than his other reputations.

Wei Ming came to the research institute of the Ministry of Industry in front, and saw Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng with a group of students busy sawing wood and measuring rails from a distance.Someone else was tinkering with that boiler.The water in the boiler has been boiled hot, and the hot air coming out of the pipe can be seen from a long distance away.

"Old Song!" Wei Ming greeted, and Song Yingxing put down the work at hand, and let Song Yingsheng continue to lead the students to work, and he was going to report to Wei Ming.

"Let's go, let's go to my study." Wei Ming walked out first, Song Yingxing followed closely behind, and after arriving at the study, Wei Ming greeted Dongfang Xiaomo and Lu Xiangsheng and asked them to bring those The servants guard the study well.If someone wants to get close to the study, first warn.If you insist on going your own way, you will be killed without mercy.Dongfang Xiaomo and Lu Xiangsheng knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded their heads seriously, and promised to complete the task, which made Wei Ming feel relieved, and entered the room with Song Yingxing
Inside the study.

"Weihou, that's not the case, is it? We are all engaged in learning, and the more people who know about learning, the better. Why bother to cherish it? If that's the case, when will learning be able to spread? I don't know from ancient times to now. How many unique studies were buried in the loess and disappeared because of such a relationship." Song Yingxing was very opposed to Wei Ming's approach.To be a scholar is to have the appearance of a scholar, and it looks like espionage, which is really not what a scholar should do.Song Yingxing also wanted to write a book about Zi's knowledge and advertise it widely, but now it seems that it is probably useless.

"Learning is to be passed on, but we also need to see who it is passed on to. I think the Wa country was just a deserted island. But look at it now? What has it developed into? Just after the civil war ended, the Dare to provoke us Ming Dynasty. Although we won in the end, we can also see that we no longer have enough deterrent power. Why can the Wa country develop? It is not the envoys sent to Tang Dynasty! They learned advanced things from us, and in the country Boldly reform, and then use what we teach them to beat us in turn. You say, can you teach them good things like this? You can tell that you are not convinced by the way you are stuck. Forget it, I have no intention of convincing you. Anyway, you just need to do your research well. Let me do these unscrupulous things. Okay, let’s talk about the steam engine. What’s the point now? How far?" Wei Ming originally wanted to tell Song Yingxing what was going on inside.But looking at Song Yingxing's disdainful expression, he gave up this plan.Knowledgeable people have high self-esteem.It's hard to say, but the stones in the latrine are smelly and hard.It's useless to tell them this.Even if you hit your head on the south wall and bled, you won't understand what regret is.It's better to talk about academic matters.With such a person, you can only talk about academic matters.

As soon as the steam engine was mentioned, Song Yingxing's eyes lit up, and he put aside everything and said, "Weihou, our steam engine has made great progress, and the steam engine can already provide a certain amount of power to supply an iron car walking on the rails." It's just that we don't have enough steel that can support enough pressure, which has become a major difficulty restricting the development of our steam engine. However, it is possible to use a steam engine to suck the water in the well. Now in the research institute of the Ministry of Industry All the water is fetched in this way. It is very convenient and labor-saving." Song Yingxing said.This is indeed a great progress.As Wei Ming said before, if you are not afraid of walking slowly, you are afraid of not taking a step.As long as the front of the car moves one step on the track, there will naturally be a second step.Don't be afraid of walking slowly, there will always be a way to make him go fast.As long as the first step is taken, the following things will be logical.

"Do you have any experiments like this now?" Wei Ming asked with gleam in his eyes.Witnessing this historic moment, Wei Ming was very interested in it.Think about it, thousands of years later, when people read the historical volumes, they will have their own names on the page when they entered the age of steam. What a great honor that is!
"Yes, if Marquis Wei wants to watch it, we can do it tomorrow!" Song Yingxing said excitedly.He was afraid that his research was not good enough to attract Wei Ming's attention.Now it seems that he is obviously worrying too much.Wei Ming is very interested in this, that's good.As long as Wei Ming is interested, he will never be short of money.Then the research can go on.This was what Song Yingxing wanted to see most.No matter how much money is rewarded to him, no matter how big the official title is, he will be happy.

"Is your thing dangerous? Has it exploded?" Wei Ming asked worriedly.He knew that if the steam engine was not handled properly, it would easily explode.It wouldn't be fun if it exploded.He was ready to show off.

"It happened a few times. However, after improvement, it will be much better after adding a safety valve. However, for safety, we can stay farther away at that time." Finally, Song Yingxing still worried: "Since the safety valve was added After the valve, there hasn’t been an explosion.”

"Okay, very good, let's forget it tomorrow, set a date, um, how about it, in ten days' time, we will invite the civil and military ministers of the whole court to watch the ceremony, and let them have a look, our Institute of the Ministry of Industry is not just eating imperial food Non-working stuff!"

"Yes!" Song Yingxing felt that his eyes were full of stars.
