Chapter 539 Unexpected Surprise

Qianqing Palace.

Yang Reform is grading homework.

There are too many things that need to be paid attention to recently. Shi Kefa, Sun Yuanhua, the issue of educating the party, the issue of new interpretations of Confucian characters, Liu Mao, wars, these are all things that Yang Reform is always paying attention to. Unfortunately, he has no skills. Yang Reform had to ask people to report the situation, correct homework at any time, and keep abreast of the progress of various matters in a timely manner. He had to use this method to control the situation in various places.

In the past few days, Yang Reform is most concerned about the firing of the cement at Sun Yuanhua's place. According to Sun Yuanhua's hands-on situation, he has already touched the threshold and has a general direction. In the face of the exhaustive method, it is basically not Question, based on this progress, Yang Reform reckons that "cement" will come out in a short time, and don't need cement with a high grade. It's great to have earthen cement, and the steel factory burns so much silver. Without burning in vain, now, it can be regarded as barely having a set of operation mode and skilled craftsmen.

"Continue, increase strength." Yang Reform read Sun Yuanhua's homework and corrected a few words on it.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Shaanxi." Wang Chengen reported.

"Oh, from Shaanxi? What's the matter?" Yang Reform asked. Now the fire in Shaanxi has calmed down. It is no longer what it looked like last year when it was about to explode. When it was an urgent report from Shaanxi, I thought something was wrong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Li Yanyi." Wang Chengen replied.

"Li Yanyi?" Yang Reform was a little surprised. Could it be something wrong with the oil refinery?

"Return to Your Majesty, exactly, Li Yanyi urgently reported that he has something important to present to His Majesty. In addition, he also found a good thing for road repair. He said that it is quite ideal to use oil residue to pave the road. Don't be afraid." The water is strong and not afraid of being crushed..." Wang Chengen reported that Wang Chengen was very impressed with this family and had a good impression of it. Seeing that it was the urgent report from the couple, he gave it priority.

"Paving the road with oil residue?..." Yang Reform was surprised. Yang Reform was still struggling with how to say this. Unexpectedly, the asphalt road came out by himself. This matter was indeed beyond Yang Reform's expectations. The brains of the people of the Ming Dynasty are not very stupid, they are very creative.

In fact, it was Yang Reform who underestimated himself too much. The story about the emperor and craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty was widely circulated among the special group of craftsmen. It is quite obvious that this kind of attraction has a driving effect on the enthusiasm and creativity of the craftsmen all over the world. Once the enthusiasm and creativity of the craftsmen are released, the changes will definitely be earth-shaking. Therefore, many "high tech".

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, that's what Li Yanyi said in the memorial. He said that he was in Shaanxi because the roads were not easy to get out, and the oil couldn't be transported out, and it was even impossible to go on rainy days. Not long after, a craftsman there accidentally discovered that the oil residue left over from oil refining fell on the ground. After being run over by a horse-drawn cart, it was not afraid of water and could not be crushed, so he asked someone to repair the oil residue several hundred feet long. The road is run over by horse-drawn carts every day, but now it is affirmed that this road is indeed good, it is not afraid of water, and it is not easy to be crushed..." Wang Chengen replied that the emperor was worried about the road, and he knew it , There is also a Sanhe soil road built in the imperial city. Unfortunately, the Sanhe soil road did not satisfy the emperor. The emperor is still troubled by this matter. This is no secret in the palace. Now Li Yanyi and his wife sent this solution The magic weapon for the emperor's headache, he didn't mind to say a few more words, to say something nice for Li Yanyi and his wife.

"..." Yang Reform didn't know whether to laugh or laugh out loud. Perhaps, he should look up to the sky and laugh wildly. This unexpected news made Yang Reform not know what to say.

"Give me the letter to take a look..." Yang Huaqiang said suddenly.

Wang Chengen sent the letter up, and Yang Reform began to read the letter. Sure enough, it was an asphalt road. What kind of oil residue, this is asphalt!Asphalt roads..., this is really a good thing.

After reading the letter, Yang Reform thought about it. This asphalt is indeed a good thing. It is much more reliable than cement for road construction. Today's cement is not good, and the quality is not up to standard. Road repair, the road repaired is called scum, and the road will definitely be broken in a short time.It's a pity that the output of this oil is really pitifully low. It is obviously impossible to use asphalt to pave roads on a large scale. Yang Reform, who was happy for a while, looked gloomy again. I can't go up, there is not much of this asphalt, and it is difficult to use this to build roads... But, in short, this is still good news, at least there is a new direction for road construction.

In fact, reading this letter, what surprised Yang Reform even more was that Li Yanyi mentioned that his daughter-in-law had made a lamp that could spontaneously ignite and ignite, and she could light the lamp by herself anytime and anywhere. Got to be dumbfounded.

"Big Companion, did Li Yanyi also give you a self-igniting lamp?" Yang Reform asked excitedly.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes!" Wang Chengen replied.

"Hurry up and take a look..." Yang Reform said excitedly, what kind of self-igniting lamp is this? According to Li Yanyi's description, what kind of self-igniting lamp is there? This is a lighter!What is the concept of a lighter? Yang Reform used the soles of his feet to think about it and knew its use. The one who was excited at the moment didn't know what to say. Yang Reform just felt that he hadn't felt like this for a long time.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen quickly agreed, seeing the excited look of the emperor, Wang Chengen knew that he had reversed the priorities of the matter, and what the emperor valued was not the road construction that made the emperor burnt out, but the tribute, a What kind of lamp thing.

After a while, Wang Chengen came in with something. This was the self-igniting lamp made by Li Yanyi's daughter-in-law Ma Lanhua.

Yang Reform looked at this self-igniting lamp with some excitement. He was sure that it was a lighter. The material of this self-igniting lamp was mainly copper. The rotating grinding wheel is somewhat similar to the previous kerosene lighter, a steel wheel for ignition; a wick soaked in kerosene that can be ignited, and can be ignited by turning the wheel.

Yang Reform became more and more excited as he read it. He looked back at the letter, glanced at the contents, and then lifted the lampshade. A unique smell of kerosene came to his nostrils. Yang Reform gently pinched the small handle on the grinding wheel. , one turn.

"Bah..." A spark rushed out, and then lit the wick of the kerosene lamp.Yang Reform smiled with satisfaction. What kind of self-igniting lamp is there? This is really a lighter.

"Oh..." Wang Chengen looked at this self-igniting lamp that can be lit without a fire or a candle in surprise, and exclaimed, this is really amazing.

"...Your Majesty, this, this is really..." Wang Chengen was so excited, this thing is amazing.

"Spontaneous combustion lamp, hahaha... Spontaneous combustion lamp, ... hahaha..." Yang Reform laughed loudly. Since then, the ability of human beings to master fire has taken a big step forward. This thing should be of epoch-making significance.

Wang Chengen looked at the burning self-igniting lamp in surprise, and at the "crazy" laughing emperor, not knowing whether to persuade the emperor or not.

"Big companion, go and invite Master Sun over immediately, and besides, call Fu Mingde." After Yang Reform laughed, he immediately started to get down to business. One of the biggest weaknesses of the grenade now is that it is inconvenient to ignite, and it uses an open flame to ignite it. The method, when used in defense of the city, does not care about the problem of getting angry, but in the field, when playing field battles or attacking, it is extremely inconvenient, even cumbersome, this problem has not been resolved, and Yang Reform does not want to go by himself To be the "Emperor of Science", to get those matches, and now with the lighter, this problem has finally been partially solved. The role of the grenade has taken a big step forward, and the combat power should be greatly increased.

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Chengen replied immediately.

Sun Chengzong was on the platform, very close to the Qianqing Palace, and he arrived soon. When he arrived, he went directly into the Qianqing Palace.

"I see Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong saluted with some doubts. The emperor was in a corner, playing with something, and was concentrating on it.

"No, no, Master Sun, come and see this good thing!" Yang Reform said impatiently.

Sun Chengzong walked up to the emperor suspiciously and looked at the weird thing.

"Your Majesty! This?" Sun Chengzong asked suspiciously.

"Master Sun, take a look..." Yang Reform put out the fire with the lampshade cover, and then opened it again. When he shook the flint-polished grinding wheel, a burst of sparks flew out, and the oil lamp was instantly ignited.

"Ah!..." Sun Chengzong couldn't help exclaiming, this lamp is really amazing.

"...How did you do it, Your Majesty?" Sun Chengzong asked in surprise.

"Hehe, Master Sun forgot, how did this big house get angry? This wheel is made of flint..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Uh, Your Majesty, it has to be said that it is really miraculous, that is to say, this lamp can be lit without a torch?" Sun Chengzong immediately understood the special feature of this lamp.

"That's right, this lamp burns oil refined from petroleum. Like Ouchi, it can be ignited with flint. This is called a self-ignition lamp..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"This..., Your Majesty, I have to say that this is really a divine object. If you use this to ignite the fire, the combat power of the new army will surely increase. I don't know who came up with this method. It should be rewarded heavily!" Sun Chengzong exclaimed and said that in a short period of time, Sun Chengzong thought of the great use of this thing, that is, the firing of grenades, and even the firing of cannons, will be greatly improved, and the combat power will naturally have a considerable increase. Soaring.

"Li Yanyi, does Master Sun still remember?" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Oh, it's the cook named Baihu by His Majesty? It's him? If it's him, he should be rewarded a lot! In the future, he will also have a share of the credit for pacifying the Eastern Prisoners!" Sun Chengzong said.

"No." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"It's not him? That's it?" Sun Chengzong was puzzled, why did the emperor say he wasn't him?
"His wife, Ma Lanhua, do you have any impression of Master Sun?" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"...The one in Yan'an Mansion..." Sun Chengzong almost said the "shrew" behind, not because Sun Chengzong's self-cultivation is not good, but because this fact is too unexpected.He knew every move of the new army. How could he not know that the new army went to Yan'an Mansion to fight bandits for Li Yanyi?How could he not have heard of the shrew who appeared during the fight against the bandits?How could he not have heard of the tyrant of Yan'an Mansion?When this fierce man heard that this thing was actually made by that "shrew", he was naturally so startled that he wanted to jump up.

"...Your Majesty, people should not be judged by their appearance, and the sea cannot be measured! Women... should never be underestimated!" Sun Chengzong sighed.

"Hehehe, this thing is really a good thing. It has helped me a lot. In the future, when fighting Donglu, this little thing will do a lot. As Master Sun said, in the future, Donglu will be evaluated. Don't forget her!" Yang Reform sighed with a smile.

"Your Majesty is right!" Sun Chengzong said convincingly.It seems that all of a sudden, the figure of the woman appeared in the eyes of the world, standing on the stage of the Ming Dynasty, the most brilliant is the big shopkeeper of Liulizhai, needless to say, this is relatively hidden, From time to time, there will be some "inexplicable" people publishing some inexplicable things in the mansion newspaper, what speed, what temperature, and several parties often quarrel, and outsiders can't figure it out, but Sun Chengzong knows that this is the harem. It can also be regarded as the stage for women to appear on the stage of the Ming Dynasty. Now if we count this tyrant and that shrew in Yan'an Mansion, there are not just one or two women who "dance" on the stage of the Ming Dynasty. That Qin Liangyu in the army was also counted. The Ming Dynasty stage was really lively. Sun Chengzong suddenly looked at the emperor with a different look.

"This thing, Li Yanyi said, is not the best yet. There is still a lot of room for improvement. It can also be made smaller and more convenient. Now this is indeed a bit clumsy. You still need one hand to hold the lamp and the other to shake the flint. It would be more convenient if you can fire with one hand..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty is right." Sun Chengzong's mind was not here. When the emperor mentioned this, he responded with a few words casually.

"Master Sun might as well come and try..." Yang Reform asked Sun Chengzong to try again.

After listening to the emperor's words, Sun Chengzong also turned the flint wheel, sparked a spark, and lit the oil lamp.

Sun Chengzong tried several times, and Wang Chengen reported again: "Your Majesty, Fu Mingde has arrived."

"See you!" Yang Reform arrived immediately.

Sun Chengzong also stopped.

"Slave Fu Mingde knocks on His Majesty." Fu Mingde's gray hair has recently become anxious, and he was even more anxious when he heard the emperor summon him. He has not found the thing on the carriage wheel that the emperor asked him to find. How to make a difference.

"Excuse me, Fu Mingde, come here quickly, take a look at this..." Yang Reform didn't ask him about the carriage wheels, and asked him to come over and look at the self-igniting lamp.

"Your servant obeys!" Fu Mingde agreed, and walked over suspiciously.

"Bah..." Seeing Fu Mingde coming, Sun Chengzong knew what the emperor was going to do, probably as the emperor said, to make this self-igniting lamp smaller, more delicate and more convenient, seeing Fu Mingde's doubts Walking over, turning the flint wheel slightly, a spark came out, and the lamp was lit.

"Ah!...Your Majesty, this..." Fu Mingde exclaimed in surprise.

"This is called a self-igniting lamp... I called you here because I want the craftsmen of the Bingzhan Bureau to make this more delicate, smaller, more convenient, and more practical as soon as possible. You can try it first..." Yang Reform said .

"Slaves take orders!" Fu Mingde agreed, and tried the self-igniting lamp a few times, full of curiosity about this kind of lamp that ignites itself.

"The oil used in this self-igniting lamp is made of kerosene extracted from petroleum. Ordinary kerosene cannot be turned on. The wheel is made of flint. The principle is the same as that made by Ouchi. You take this thing and let it burn." Craftsmen, please take a closer look and do it according to the requirements I said, this thing is very useful for fighting..." Yang Reform explained a few words.

"Slaves lead the order!" Fu Mingde felt relieved, the emperor didn't ask him to ask about the wheel, it turned out to be for this matter, it's easy to handle, since there are samples, just do it, it won't take a few days. Many can be remade. With the strength of the military battle bureau, what else in the world cannot be made?
"Master Sun, look, how many of this new army of self-burning lamps should be equipped?" Yang Reform asked Sun Chengzong again.

"Return to Your Majesty, the more the better, it would be even better if, as Your Majesty said, it can be easily fired with one hand." Sun Chengzong was unambiguous. convenient.

"Fu Mingde, in this way, you first make this thing small and ready according to my requirements, and then prepare for large-scale manufacturing. I may need a lot..." Yang Reform thought for a while and made up his mind. The army needs it, and other people need it too, so we can build a lighter machine.

"Slave and servant lead the order!" Fu Mingde immediately agreed.

"By the way, Fu Mingde, how are you doing with the wheel?" Yang Reform asked again.

"...Returning to Your Majesty, I have tried thousands of things, but unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find what Your Majesty said,... I have tried gold, silver, cloth, hemp, silk, grass, wood, all kinds of things. Fur, tendons, horns, bones..." As soon as Fu Mingde was asked about this thing, he became extremely nervous and began to explain his experimental process.

"Okay, good, continue. Until you find it..." Yang Reform interrupted.

"...Oh, by the way, this self-igniting lamp was invented by Li Yanyi's wife in Shaanxi. You immediately allocate three hundred of that kind of oil carriage to him, and he is waiting to use it..." Yang Reform also ordered that finding rubber is a must. It's a long process, and I don't care about such a few days.

"...Ah! Slave,... But, Your Majesty, the carriage yard is rushing to build a stagecoach..." Fu Mingde was very surprised. Was this made by Li Yanyi and his wife?This news is really surprising!
"You allocate [-] vehicles to him first, and now he has made great achievements." Yang Reform said.

"Servants take orders!" Fu Mingde agreed.

……

Sun Chengzong and Fu Mingde were sent away.Yang Reform picked up a pen and made some corrections on the homework, asking Li Yanyi to continue to work hard on the oil residue road to make the ratio of oil residue and gravel more clear. The current oil residue is paved from the oil refinery Go to Yan'an Mansion, and think of other ways. As for the "special oil transport" carriage, there is no problem, and it will arrive soon.
