Chapter 91
It's better to act than to be excited. I sent someone to take me to the workshop the next day. I can also see the progress of the two workshops.

Now I don’t go to the translation office, I go by sedan chair, a few steps away and I don’t report on time, so there is no special sedan chair, and I can go there on my own.

The guards who escorted me are very familiar with me now. I don’t like to put on airs like other princes, and I often give them small money, so they are also very happy to serve me. Usually, as long as I give orders, no matter the wind or rain, they They will make arrangements for me right away.

These bodyguards are actually very good at martial arts. When they are usually training partners, they only need to use a few percent of their level, and they can compete with the second emperor brother and the others. After all, they are in this profession. You might as well go home and farm.There are quite a few people like this in the palace, and they all have a good relationship with me. As far as the guards of the Criminal Department are concerned, they are very familiar with me. Come on, it's still pretty good.

When I arrived at the workshop, I immediately summoned Daoist Wuji, the alchemist in charge of the "Huawuyuan", and Mo Cheng, who was in charge of the "Carpenter's Society".

Mo Cheng, who just turned 30 years old, is from Yun County. It is said that everyone in Yun County knows about the skillful Mo family. Many artifacts in the palace are made by this family of craftsmen. Mo Cheng is the second generation of the Mo family He is outstanding, but he deviates from the tradition since he was a child, and often questioned the exquisite skills passed down from his ancestors, so he was not favored by the owner, so he was sent to this palace handicraft workshop, which is equivalent to the cold palace of the craftsman world. This time, he first made a breakthrough in the production of bicycle chains. , was appointed by me as the person in charge of "Jiangshe".

After listening to their respective progress, the stones and materials from all over the place are basically in place, and the sorting and sorting work is nearing completion.The old Taoist priest probably just came from work, and there is still a layer of stone powder on the Taoist robe on his body. I ordered the stone to be ground for use, so he has such a dignified appearance.

I was really moved by his dedication to gold and stone smelting. If he smelts anything in the future, even if it is useless, I will help him. I asked him to help me collect iron and copper smelting methods. I am not sure about this. I understand, the host in the underworld doesn't have this knowledge. I once asked two foreigners who are still playing football how they smelt it, but I couldn't find out why.

But the matching sword that Jerry sent last time was well-made and top-grade. It seems that he can only return with a few hands-on knowledge after going to Farland after going out of the palace.In addition, I sent people to various places to collect other materials. I paid special attention to the rubber that would flow from the trees in the south, and the flammable oil that would flow from the ground.

The bicycle is about to be improved. Inspired by me, the craftsmen designed a more reasonable chain transmission system. The beef tendon was replaced with a special iron chain, and the wooden disc was replaced with an iron gear. Although the cost has increased a lot , but I am no longer afraid of breaking my tendons while riding.It's just that I'm not used to stepping on the brakes backwards, so I told them to continue to study the brake system, and they also need to separate their hands to make the slender silver wire.

Then there is the matter of recruiting people. I want them to go to the capital and nearby places to recruit about a hundred bright and clever children, from six to ten years old, with priority given to those who can read and write.

Speaking of this, I took out a page of numbers I had written in advance from my arms, which only involved the most basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, all using modern Arabic numerals, and I also explained it in Chinese characters, using Chinese characters It is too troublesome to do the arithmetic. 12345 is written as twelve thousand 340 five, a full nine characters, which is really not conducive to arithmetic.

I ask every craftsman to learn how to write in this way, and teach them to the recruited school children, and teach them to read. If there is not enough manpower, you can go outside and hire a few more teachers. Don't deliberately hide all this, and don't create If there is too much movement, just do it in a normal way. I want those schoolchildren to learn some simple words. First, they can use me to do scientific research. So that I can share the duty of gossip.

After they can talk nonsense, I can arrange for them to enter the palace, and they will be allocated directly to Eunuch Lin's area, so they can be used by me in the future.As long as the gossip group is established, it will be strange if I don't talk about the second brother to death.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and paper cannot wrap fire. I don't expect these actions to be known by my two emperor brothers. I can only be careful secretly, and just be on guard. I don't deliberately hide it. Let them discover the profound meaning of my doing so.I still understand the term "to cover up".

Except for a few lovely people, I didn't tell anyone else, I secretly named this operation, "Gossip Master Plan"

Probably God also wanted to help me. Half a month later, more than 100 children successfully entered the workshop and began to learn. Arabic numerals have also been widely used on various drawings. The methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be calculated on paper, making workers All the abacus in the workshop were dismantled into parts overnight, and I found out afterwards that I couldn't laugh or cry.This kind of movement, except for the second brother who mentioned the bicycle inadvertently once, no one came to ask me about it.They will definitely not be ignorant of my public behavior like this, but what he knows is only on the surface. My city must be much deeper than his. He can't afford to play with me. I can only wait for time now. When the time comes, I'll make him look good.

In fact, I can't control so much now, the good news one after another makes me so happy that I don't have time to think about those troublesome things.The people sent by the Institute of Chemical Engineering have sent a message back. There is indeed oil in the southern region. The local people use it as heating fuel. No, I'm doing this in secret right now.

In addition, I ordered people to send several barrels to the capital for research. People in other places in the south also found some wild rubber trees, and I sent people to order the local government to plant a large number of these trees.

Originally, it took at least half a month for the news from the far south to reach the capital, but since the lychees from there were introduced to the imperial city and won the favor of all the concubines, the father ordered countless post stations to be set up along the way. Litchi can be sent to the capital at the fastest speed.

In addition, according to the ore I received that I could recognize and tell, I requested that magnets, sulfur, saltpeter, green vitriol and other substances be sent to the capital one after another.The backyard where the workshop used to store materials was full again, and the old Taoist master was once again very busy. Fortunately, the hundreds of children recruited earlier can already help, otherwise I don’t know how long I will be busy, thanks to my foresight .

I also asked people to collect wood and coal and burn coke. Unlike ordinary charcoal, I wanted them to collect not only the charcoal that was burned, but also the coal tar and wood tar that would have been discarded or burned.

The masters of the craftsman's club were not to be outdone, and the second finished bicycle was finally released. The hand brake had been installed, and the cork wrapped with cowhide was used, but the wood was a bit worn out when rubbed.But it doesn't matter, as soon as the rubber arrives, it will be easy to handle.I gave them a big compliment, and then proposed the next concept, a tricycle with a tipping bucket behind three wheels, specially used for cargo transportation.The principle is similar, there are no blueprints, and the artisans are free to play.

The silver thread was also forged by a professional goldsmith, and it was really a superb workmanship, only thicker than a hair, and quite well-proportioned, with a length of tens of feet.I think of my father's golden silk crown, which must have been woven in the same way.I asked to paint this silver wire several times with cooked varnish, and then wound it densely on a piece of pig iron, and wound it hundreds of times.In addition, take two larger magnets and ask them to be polished into an arch shape, and they are relatively inlaid inside a large wooden wheel. Of course, I need a lot of such silver wires and magnets.

After I sent out a lot of orders, everyone took orders and went to work on their own.

Looking at the gradually crowded workshop, I took out some money and sent people to expand the scale of the workshop.My plan is five times the size of the current one. Those who need to relocate will have to use the majesty of the royal family and the charm of silver to persuade them. Since this place is all under my command now, the emperor will not say anything about me.

Now that the work in the workshop has made some progress, I also took some time off and went to the training ground a few times, obviously to observe the progress of the game, but in fact I mainly wanted to ask the two foreigners about the last time they went to the training ground. The method of making the mirror of tribute.

The result of the chat was far beyond my expectation. It turned out that this mirror is not a common item in their country. It was only released in recent years. It was a sensation at the time. I heard that it was invented by the royal family of their country. Naturally, the two of them could not know method.I can only continue to learn about their country's technological capabilities from the two when I have free time. Unfortunately, the two are only obsessed with adventure, which always makes me feel like entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed. How does it feel?Just extremely upset.

Since there were no clues from foreigners, I had to pay a large sum of money and send someone to trust someone to buy a batch of glass bottles and jars. These relatively rough glass products are rare in the market for me. Many big families are proud to own one or two, so it is difficult to buy.

I was lucky this time. The person I sent was collecting materials outside the palace. He knew some wanderers from the Western Regions, and he bought about [-] pieces of high-quality goods at a high price.If those who go to the business district know that the works of art they have worked so hard to transport from a long distance are only used as containers for experiments by me, I am afraid they will never want to do business with me again.

Things like glass, which are too common for me, have now become a worry for me.How is it made? The knowledge in my mind is the most scarce for smelting. I only remember to use silicate and soda ash, but I don’t know what ore and method to use.

If I knew the current recipe, I would be able to make a better glass.But I heard that the recipe was a national treasure handed down from a small country in the Western Regions, so I had to ask the Western Regions businessman who sold my glass to help me inquire about it, hoping to guess the approximate raw materials.

After dealing with a lot of things, although I have plans and arrangements for these things, I am still tired and dizzy after a few days of busy work.Only then did I realize that I had to experience the exhaustion of doing everything myself.It would be great if there was another person from the future who could share some of the burden for me.I couldn't help but throw the basic part of physics and chemistry to the deans of the two colleges, enough for them to study for a long time.The title of the dean was awarded by me, and it is only for internal use, but it also excited them for a long time, after all, it is still an official.

Let them study and research by themselves, so I can rest better. After a few days of fatigue, I almost forgot to look for Tianxiang. I don't know how that little girl is doing these days.
