I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 782

Things don't always go the way you guess.

Zhao Xi had always worried that the vehicles prepared by the Imperial City Secretary would be eye-catching, and for his own safety, Zhao Xi would not be surprised if Wang Zhongzheng found a chariot.Unexpectedly, what Zhao Xi saw was a different scene.Unexpectedly, what Huangcheng Secretary found was a rather simple carriage.

"Officials, City Master Su said that this car has gathered the essence of all the skills of the workshop city..."

"Is it a sample car?"

"Going back to the official's house, City Master Su said that this is the latest prototype."

This Zhao Xi knows that whenever the core skills of the workshop city are improved, they will try to make some items, and vehicles are one of them.Due to regulatory reasons, prototype cars cannot be made according to official specifications, so prototype cars basically belong to the kind of vehicles without any characteristics.

However, Zhao Xi was looking forward to the so-called latest model car.

Now, even Zhao Xi doesn't know how far the craftsmanship of the workshop city has developed.Zhao Xi is really a leader and doesn't interfere much with the development of this era.

Zhao Xi doesn't understand the systems and structures of later generations of vehicles, but he also knows about carrying capacity, steering, handling, and comfort.

Once upon a time, Zhao Xi also talked about these things casually in the martial arts hall, and he was sure that there were such contents in the records of the martial arts hall.And Su Song, as a person who has experienced it, knows it.

Of course, Zhao Xi didn't tell the story purely according to the name of later generations, but explained it in a roundabout way from the riding experience and driving experience.

Therefore, the first time Zhao Xi saw this car, he took a look at the so-called site...
bearing?Has Su Song really worked out the bearing?What Zhao Xi proposed at the beginning was just an idea. The method involved was to arrange a few marbles side by side, and then they could roll forward. Unexpectedly, Su Song really made a bearing.

Looking at the supports, there are also shock absorbers, and the carrying capacity of the entire carriage has somewhat taken shape.Even the steering can be seen on this car.All the objects are very simple, but Zhao Xi has seen the progress of the entire country's industrial foundation...

"Zhongzheng, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate some money and food, and reward all the officials and craftsmen who participated in this car! The great achievements of the country and the dynasty are all great heroes!"

Being able to see such a carriage and see the great breakthrough in the craftsmanship of the workshop city is Zhao Xi's biggest gain after deciding to visit incognito.

After Zhao Xi took office, he has been able to pay attention to the development of this aspect.Because he himself cannot make the theoretical basis into a system, all he can do is to give some direction.Su Song, Shen Kuo and others really did not disappoint him.

"Who did the officials ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward? Because of what?"

"Fuxiang..."

Zhao Xi originally thought that the cabinet would let younger cabinet members such as Wang Anshi and Lu Gongzhu accompany him on a private visit, but he didn't expect it to be Fu Bi.

"Officials, ministers and masters, are the last ones who need to be present in person. Besides, with the crown prince staying behind, veterans are the only cabinet with spare time in the busy government."

Fu Bi said this with a bit of resentment.The imperial court is very busy, but the officials want to make private visits.What I said yesterday was originally just to dissuade the officials, but it turned out like this.

Fu Bi and even the cabinet did not dare to guess what the officials meant.The prince also arrived at Qinzheng Hall early and early, but the official family left the palace, and there was no intention for the prince to supervise the country... There are some things that the ministers and workers really can't guess at will.

However, Fu Bi's words still have something to say.Seek truth from facts.

"Officials, who is the reward? For what? Do you need a reward from the court?"

Since it is a great achievement of the country and a great hero, the court should also express it.

"Fuxiang, what I'm talking about is that this car seems to be the same as a regular car. As long as Fuxiang understands the craftsmanship in it, he will be like me and intend to reward it."

"Fuxiang, first look at the hub..."

"Officials, veterans don't understand, what is this?"

"This is the bearing. Wang Zhongzheng, let the car move slowly..."

Nothing is more convincing than examples.As long as the vehicle is moving, with Fu Bi's IQ, it is easy to see the wide application of this thing.

"Officials, this is used for vehicles, if it is used for water wheels, it is used for bed crossbows, it is used for..."

"Fuxiang, it is true. This is almost the foundation of many industries, or it can greatly increase the production capacity of many industries. I am rewarding for this, and I am going to reward all the ministers and craftsmen who participated in this work."

Although Zhao Xi is not very clear about the purpose of bearings, he also knows that bearings can be used in a wide range of applications.

"Officials, there is no need to confer titles. There have been a lot of wars in the court these years, and there have been many titles awarded, and the court's titles have flooded. Now the new lands in the northwest and southwest need a lot of officials, so it is better to give some favors Officials, fill in the vacancies in the new territory."

Originally known as one of the three redundant officials, who would have thought that there would be a shortage of officials...

I was in a good mood when I went out today, even Fu Bi's insinuating persuasion did not affect Zhao Xi's mood.

Once some doors are opened, their attractiveness will allow many aspirants to walk in, and finally change from quantitative to qualitative.

Zhao Xi believes that Guochao's craftsmanship will eventually become a technology, and will eventually usher in the so-called vigorous development... This will not be changed by people's will.

The place of travel today is Yangwu County.As for the reason, Zhao Xi remembered that in the early days of Zhenghe, when Wang Anshi implemented the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, he mentioned that Yangwu County would release silt to improve the soil for rice planting.

Yesterday I saw Guochao's business in Bianliang, and today Zhao Xi wanted to see Guochao's farming.Today's Yangwu County should be Yuanyang County in later generations.However, Yuanyang rice is famous all over the world in later generations. I don’t know if the current Yangwu has taken shape under Wang Anshi’s advocacy of releasing silt to improve soil and planting rice.

Yangwu County is located in the northwest of Bianliang, more than a hundred miles away from Bianliang, and needs to cross the Yellow River.

Zhao Xi didn't necessarily want to go to Yangwu County, he just wanted to see the farming of Guochao, or to see whether the world-famous Yuanyang rice sprouted in this era.

Wang Anshi's farmland water conservancy law was not based on the appearance of Zhao Xi, but existed in the original history.

Around Bianliang, there are many bridges connecting the north and south banks of the Yellow River. The prosperous commerce of the country even has bridges that can pass through the tracks. There are countless people crossing the river like the carriages that Zhao Xi and his party are sitting on.

"Official, this carriage does not suffer from bumps, and Workshop City really puts its heart into it."

"This is shock absorption, that is, shock absorption. Under the support of the carriage, a steel sheet with a buffering effect is added, which can move with the bumps of the road, so that the passengers do not feel the bumps..."

"What is the official intention of this trip?"

"Bianliang is the distribution center of Guochao's commerce and trade. You can understand Guochao's commerce and trade by looking at Bianliang's commerce and trade. I am here to see Guochao's agriculture and mulberry."

"The rich minister also knows that since Zhenghe, I have spent the least amount of thought on agriculture and mulberry, or the entire country has invested the least in agriculture and mulberry. Come out and have a look, understand the most basic situation, and enter a relative state in the country. After the stable period, the imperial court should properly focus on the promulgation of some agricultural and mulberry policies.”
