Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 494 The Piano and the Elementary Microscope
Sun Xiangfu couldn't explain to Qin Qiong why he didn't have to worry about Li Shimin doing things like "cooking a cunning rabbit to death and a running dog, and flying birds to hide their bows", because it involved the secret of his time travel.

Of course, I still have to say some words of relief. As far as the present is concerned, Li Shimin is extremely lenient to his old subordinates. He has pardoned the corruption of eldest grandson Shunde and Zhang Liang many times, and mobilized resources to treat them with all their strength. Du Ruhui and so on, it can be seen that he still hopes that these veterans will accompany him for a while.

It's a pity that Sun Xiangfu knew about the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but he didn't know the dates of birth and death of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and how they died.

Now, due to Sun Xiangfu's time travel, the life experiences of these ministers have all changed, even diet, living habits, etc. have also changed, and the dates of birth and death have all changed naturally.

Like Du Ruhui and Changsun Shunde who were supposed to be dead, they are still alive. Zhang Gongjin, who was supposed to die of illness next year in history, is still alive and well, and he has also become the governor of Anton. He has never been to Cheng Yaojin, who was supposed to guard Chang'an and Songzhou, was sent to the Western Regions for two or three years, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who was supposed to help Li Shimin fight in all directions, was sent to the Western Regions. He was sent to serve as the governor of Jiangnan Road, and lived comfortably for two years...

These things will bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire history. Sun Xiangfu only knows from some film and television dramas he has watched in later generations that most of these heroes in history have died well. But now, he dare not talk about the future situation, because, the world, There will be more changes because of some small changes. Besides, the current Datang is far from the historical Datang.

After sending Qin Qiong away, Sun Xiangfu called Uncle De to the study. Although the main industries in Xingfu Village have been moved to Weinan, all research work is still being carried out by the children of the farmer. When something progressed, they would go to the Sun Mansion to inform Uncle De, and Uncle De would send a letter to Sun Xiangfu.

Now that Sun Xiangfu has returned home, Uncle De should also summarize these things with Sun Xiangfu. He remembered that there was a letter saying that several things were about to be finished recently.

"My lord, it's a piano and a telescope made of steel. The people in Xingfu Village said a few days ago that these things are too big. If Shanyang needs them, they will directly send the finished materials to assemble them, and they will only stay in Chang'an for use." If so, they will find a way to pull it over by boat, and we will arrange enough people to carry it back to the mansion at Qujiang Wharf."

"It's not a piano made of steel, it's a piano. If it's all made of pure steel, I'm afraid it will take a few people to lift it. As for the telescope, it may be really big, and even a dozen people may not be able to lift it."

The principle of piano pronunciation is not difficult to understand. Sun Xiangfu, who has studied piano, knows its structure roughly. To make it, the difficulty is to forge high-carbon steel tuning nails that can accurately touch different scales, and metal strings.

In addition, like a hammer, it needs to be covered with a layer of felt or flannelette. These technologies only made some progress after the woolen research of the garment workshop was successful. It took almost five years to study until it really took shape now.

For such a long time, the craftsmen don't know how much coal, metal and steel, how many times they scratched their scalps, and how many brain cells died before they finally reported this thing that they thought could be delivered to Sun Xiangfu. If you say its cost, I'm afraid it's more than ten thousand.

And the 160 times telescope is even more so. With the current high price of glass, if you let so many craftsmen who know how to make glass to study it, the daily loss can be calculated in tens of thousands of times. It lasted for more than three years, and its value can no longer be measured with money.

"Hehe, this old slave doesn't understand. They said so, and this old slave just remembered it. Now, should I inform them to send the things to the house?"

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Send it here! In addition, from the family's account, a bonus of [-] yuan will be given to each craftsman who participates in the research and manufacture of pianos and telescopes. Great bonus."

"Uh, there are quite a few of them. You just opened your mouth, but 10,000+ sticks are gone!"

"It's only 10,000+ points, and you can earn it back soon. When you send the money over, ask the people in the telescope research team to bring a full set of materials and go to Shanyang Medical College and Shanyang Agricultural College to install one each! There may be some adjustments to the shape, and Shanyang has the conditions for adjustments, as long as the things are installed indoors and placed on a high platform, they understand."

The ones sent to the Sun House were just telescopes for watching stars, and the ones sent to Shanyang were elementary microscopes used for research. If they were just adjustments to some convenient pedestals, there would be some help from Shanyang. Tools and craftsmen can easily support them.

"No, what about the piano?"

"After I try the piano, I will see if there is any room for improvement. If it works, I will get materials, build a factory, and mass-produce it. The people in the research team can't be idle, let them think of ways to make the piano more exquisite. , the tone is more pleasing to the ear, and if there is progress, there will be rewards."

"No, the old slave will do it now."

Datang's various technological researches are constantly improving. Sun Xiangfu has opened a door for research and development for all walks of life. He can't imagine how far he can develop in the future, just like Weinan's Various factories, with the help of various new tools introduced by the Industrial Research Institute, their production efficiency and product fineness have already exceeded the traditional production process by many times.

Outsiders can't imagine that when workers have a casting machine that can rotate quickly with a light step on the foot, the speed of making ceramic utensils will be many times faster than that of purely hand-kneading.

With coking coal that burns at a higher temperature, the quality and exquisiteness of the entire ceramic industry will be greatly improved. It is precisely because of the progress of industry that Datang has more means of exchanging mud for money. In exchange for the money, research on more high-tech technology, as far as it is concerned, its various convenient production technologies are actually not inferior to those in the Song Dynasty.

Those Confucianists actually know that they cannot stop the general trend of profit-seeking for everyone, and they themselves are profit-seeking. Therefore, they thought of another way to benefit themselves, which is to say that this technological innovation is theirs. The contribution of the Confucian ancestors.

From the bottom of my heart, Sun Xiangfu despises their behavior a little. He has learned some unrealistic things, but he wants to seize the credit of others. If everything can be solved with one mouth, then the world will be destroyed. It won't be that complicated anymore.

In any case, for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Xiangfu still has to find a way to correct Li Tai. Of course, before that, he still needs to do some work, for example, visit Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng, so as not to really pinch him when he gets it Come, there will be accidental injury.

"Xiu'er, prepare some gifts. Tomorrow, let's go to visit my father-in-law and grandpa."

In the children's play hall, Sun Jing and Sun Wanting are enjoying dinner in their unique way. Even if Sun Xiangfu came, they did not intend to get off their human-powered rocking car. The person who rocked the cart naturally changed from Yu Xiu'er to Sun Xiangfu.

"My husband suddenly thought of going to visit his parents."

Leaving the stepping task to Sun Xiangfu, Yu Xiuer can finally concentrate on feeding the two little guys, but the two little guys are more interested in playing than eating, and Yu Xiuer has to chase after them every day when eating They walked around the house and coaxed them for a long time before they took a bite.

"Isn't this coming back? I have to go and have a look. By the way, I will also talk to Grandpa about something."

"Is it something about those Confucians?"

"That's right! Grandpa is also considered one of the most famous Confucian scholars in the world. I'm worried that they will engage in moral kidnapping and cheat Grandpa."

"Don't worry! Grandpa is not a pedantic person, it's just that since the Imperial College is now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, Grandpa has to find a way to guide them because of his responsibilities."

If Yu Shinan was a rotten Confucian, Li Shimin wouldn't value him so much. In fact, in the entire Zhenguan Dynasty, there was no rotten Confucian who could hold a high position.What Li Shimin paid attention to was hard work. Before Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism became the mainstream of Confucianism, Confucianism still had a certain spirit of hard work. You only need to look at what the famous poets and scholars in the Tang Dynasty did.

"It is precisely because of this that I have to seek advice from Grandpa for my husband!"

Yu Xiuer smiled and said, "Hehe, in this world, there are things that a husband can't decide. It just so happens that the training is tight these days, and I haven't visited them for a long time. Tomorrow, I will bring joy and joy together Go, this is a gift, there is no need to give anything else, just send two more boxes of those blueberries in the cold storage, Grandpa likes to eat."

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Well, you look at the arrangement. In addition, bring two more boxes. Tomorrow, Wei Shangshu's mansion will have to go there. There are also close relatives. Let Uncle De Send me two boxes.

As for the palace, His Majesty has not come back. It is not easy for foreign ministers like me to enter the harem to meet the queen. You send someone to send a large cart and let the queen distribute it by herself. Before the blueberry fields of the Wang family are planted, the blueberries , but only our family has it, and it is a good thing that they can't afford to spend money on. "

Shanyang's blueberries started to grow this year, and gradually entered the peak production period. This artificially grown European blueberry matures a month earlier than the wild blueberry. It matures around July in the Gregorian calendar and May in the lunar calendar. Sun Xiangfu came back Sometimes people pull back a lot from Shanyang, just for everyone to try something new.

"I know..."

The two little devils would not let them talk so peacefully. Seeing that Sun Xiangfu was not paying attention to them, they interrupted their chat loudly, shouting, "Daddy, Daddy, shake it faster, shake it faster... "..."

Sun Xiangfu looked at the half of the rice bowl left in Yu Xiuer's hand, and said, "If you want to eat faster, Daddy should shake it faster!"

"Mother, I want to eat, ah~"

"I want to eat too, ah~"

The two little ghosts scrambled to open their mouths wide, making Yu Xiu'er who was feeding her a knowing smile, but forgot what she wanted to say just now.

A few days ago, Zhao Long came over from Xingfu Village, saying that he had been playing at home for half a year and couldn't be free anymore. He wanted to ask the family what arrangements they had for them next. However, Uncle De just sent someone to give bonuses and take Tell the people in the village to send binoculars and pianos, and they who stay in the village every day should know, and then they will know that Sun Xiangfu has returned to Chang'an, and they should come to the house to see him.
