Chapter 350
When Zhu Di gave an order, everyone dared not neglect, and hurriedly jumped onto the trailer behind and started unloading.
Someone else took a large scale and began to weigh it.
With his hands behind his back, Zhu Di waited for the smoke to dissipate before he began to look up and down at Xu Jingchang in front of him.
"You kid, is this what you guys fiddled with?"
Xu Jingchang said: "Yes... yes... but, it was made according to brother-in-law's drawings. Brother-in-law is capable, so we follow suit..."
Zhang Anshi said with a smile on the side: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, in fact... I just thought about it a little bit, but who would have thought that it would be really tossed out by them."
Zhu Di said with a straight face: "In this way, it seems that this kid Xu Jingchang deceived the emperor?"
"Ah... this..." Zhang Anshi looked surprised.
How should he answer this?
Zhu Di said: "Whoever deserves the credit is the one who deserves the credit! Don't I know what kind of bastards these boys are? You bastard, you are really humble at this time."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Anshi and Zhang Anshi, and immediately paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
He seemed to have something on his mind.
The ministers are also whispering to each other.
Hu Guang pinched Yang Rong's sleeve lightly, and said in a low voice, "This thing...can be moved by a fire...Yanggong, do you understand?"
Yang Rong said bluntly: "I don't understand."
Hu Guang showed surprise on the contrary: "Is there something that Mr. Yang doesn't understand?"
Yang Rong rolled his eyes at Hu Guang. He was used to joking with Hu Guang: "Things in the world... always seem simple, but difficult to do. For people like you and me, it is easy to give advice, but in the end it is just talk on paper."
Hu Guang coughed in embarrassment: "You can't say that..."
How did he feel being scolded around the corner?
"That's the truth." Yang Rong said calmly instead: "But... you and I are cabinet ministers, in fact, you don't have to... be proficient in everything, but there is one thing, that is, to have a sense of awe for those who do things seriously. Only in this way can we know their difficulty and the reason why it is difficult to achieve things. Even if you are in a high position and talk about wars on paper, it is not a bad idea. But if you just point at other things just because you know some superficial facts, you will find it easy. Sometimes... it will hurt yourself instead."
After hearing this, Hu Guang said sincerely like an honest student: "This statement is reasonable, but Mr. Yang's statement won my heart."
Yang Rong continued: "Actually, why don't you understand this truth? No... It can be said that this simple truth, in fact, everyone in the temple, everyone's heart is like a mirror. It's just that people are like this. Once they enter the temple, they occupy a high position. It is inevitable that you will despise everything, refuse to admit the suffering and difficulty of others, and simplify all the complicated and difficult things, so that you can show your brilliance!"
"So, the most difficult thing about the affairs of the world, or the principles of the world, is not to study the so-called great principles, nor to be proficient in everything, but to... the four words of humility, the only way to admit that everyone in this world has his own. Strengths, self-examination, the affairs of the world will be easier to handle."
Hu Guang muttered, "Why are you talking about it, and it seems to be saying that I am arrogant?"
"You are arrogant." Yang Rong directly exposed him: "Although on the surface, your words and deeds are still modest, but deep down, you think you are the number one scholar, you think you are a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and you think you are full of knowledge. In fact, you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, in fact, you and Xie Gong are the same person, but..."
Hu Guang's face suddenly turned red, and he was about to say, stop talking, stop talking.
But Yang Rong continued: "It's just that the only thing you are better than him is that you are not as courageous and ambitious as him. Hu Gong, let go of your self-righteous thoughts, there is no way out."
Hu Guang: "..."
heartbroken...
On the other side, Jin Zhong and Xia Yuanji chattered endlessly in low voices.
The issues they discussed were more practical. After all, at the beginning, Zhuge Liang relied on wooden cattle and horses to solve the supply of food and grass.
But what Mu Niu Liu Ma is, in fact, no one knows.
No one even knows whether the legend is true or not.
But the thing in front of me, no matter for the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of War, seems to have practical value.
"I just don't know how much it can carry." Jin Zhong said expectantly.
Xia Yuanji said: "Yes, Duke Jin...you know astronomy first, and geography second, haven't you heard of this thing?"
"I've never heard of it." Jin Zhong said: "It's a pity that it can't write, maybe I can test it..."
Xia Yuanji: "..."
At this moment, someone came in a hurry, came to Zhu Di's feet, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the number has come out."
All of a sudden, these words attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked this way.
Zhu Di seemed a little nervous, took a deep breath, and said, "How many catties?"
Under Zhu Di's gaze, the eunuch said, "23 catties..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone gasped.
What kind of concept is this... 23 catties...
Is this equivalent to two thousand stones?
Zhu Di has led soldiers before, of course he knows what this means.
He clearly saw that Xu Jingchang alone moved the two thousand stone goods.
What is this concept?A carriage needs to be equipped with a horse and a driver, and at most it can only transport ten stones of goods.
But now, relying on this thing, the goods directly delivered by one person have increased by more than a hundred times.
Zhu Di pondered, then looked at Zhang Anshi and Xu Jingchang: "This thing...does it need to stop?"
"No need." Xu Jingchang said: "As long as you have enough coal, you can drive for a whole day and night."
All day and night!
Zhu Di couldn't help but ask again: "How long can a day and night be?"
"There are always three hundred miles."
Three hundred trips a day, one or two people at most, two thousand stones of goods?
This transportation capacity is no longer as simple as [-] horse-drawn carriages.
Because the carriage is stop-and-go, and the speed is much lower than this thing, and the driver and the horse need to rest, it will be even worse if it encounters muddy weather.
So in theory, this thing can be reached in a day and night for a distance of three hundred miles, but if it is a carriage, it will take at least three to five days.
If calculated in this way, it is not just two hundred times, but a thousand times the capacity.
It's... scary!
Zhu Di said with a little excitement: "One stone weighs 120 catties... so it is equivalent to one person. Isn't it... this car can actually transport 2000 people, allowing it to reach three hundred miles away in one day and night?"
Zhang Anshi's face turned green when he heard his calculation method.
It can’t be calculated in this way, what is being carried is a cart, not a car that is sheltered from wind and rain on all sides as in later generations, two thousand people standing on this trailer with air leakage on all sides, it is simply canned sardines that are ventilated on all sides .
This is no way to transport people, the cars of later generations will not dare to play like this, okay!
What's more, during this day and night, people must eat and drink, and need supplies... These must also be included in the load.
Of course, if the flat trailers are turned into carriages, it means that the load of the steam train will be increased.
If you still want to be more comfortable and have more chairs, then the weight will be even more.
In the end, if you want to make people look a little human, being able to transport 500 people at a slow speed of [-] miles per hour is already the limit.
But Zhang Anshi thought about it, coughed and said, "It's not impossible."
When he said this, he was a little guilty.
Zhu Di suddenly said excitedly: "If this thing is used in the military, wouldn't it...can have miraculous effects? In the past, when the army was assembled, not to mention the soldiers and horses from all over the place, and then went to the border town, plus food and grass first, there were not three or five Moon, absolutely impossible."
"But now, wouldn't it be safe within a month?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Not only the military, but also the people's livelihood. Your Majesty, goods from all over the world can be exchanged..."
Zhu Di nodded and said happily: "There is such a thing in the world. With this thing, who in the world would dare to rebel? If there are rebels in Suzhou, my soldiers and horses will arrive in a few days and kill him." Not a piece of armor is left."
With that said, Zhu Di walked up to the steam train, looked left and right, and couldn't help but said, "This... cost a lot, right? It's 10 taels?"
Zhang Anshi said: "This... this... this includes a lot of research expenses, but... I'm afraid the cost is really not small."
Zhu Di nodded, this time he didn't feel too distressed, and said: "Anyway, this thing...is really useful, and it is shocking just that it can walk on its own. This is the real learning, and those who only Compared with those who know how to make fuss, being able to make this is ten times stronger than making firecrackers."
For Zhu Di, no one understands military affairs better than him.
Firecrackers and artillery can certainly cause huge damage.
But the essence of military affairs lies in rapid maneuvering.
The essence of the so-called war is that there are more people and fewer people are fighting. Whoever is more maneuverable and can quickly assemble and organize to reach the battlefield to launch an attack will take the lead.
The reason why he succeeded in Jing Nan was because of this.
The troops and horses of the Southern Army are more than ten times that of the Northern Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is twenty or thirty times that of the Northern Army.
However, relying on his iron cavalry, Zhu Di kept moving on the battlefield, always seizing the first opportunity, and using his fast maneuverability, he could ensure that before the opponent assembled and encircled him, he would quickly attack one of them, making the southern army fall into a passive position.
Zhu Di looked at the thing in front of him, his eyes were unusually clear, and said, "How did you make this thing?"
Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang, who was about to answer.
But Zhu Di waved his hand again at this time, and said: "Forget it, don't say it, I said it instead, I don't understand. It's just that I never thought that you guys... have such abilities! Finally, there is no humiliation!" your ancestors."
With a gratified face, Zhu Di said overjoyedly: "Xu Jingchang, you really deserve to be Zengshou's son! And... you all, come here, all of you."
Seeing this, the other thirteen youths came over obediently one by one.
Zhu Di looked at them: "The Thirteen Taibao..."
Meng Wen and the others were shocked, their faces froze, and they quickly waved their hands: "No, no, it's not the Taibao, so don't dare again."
Zhu Di clasped his hands behind his back and said, "The protector is San Gong. When Zhou Cheng was king, Zhou Gong, the uncle of Cheng Wang, held this position, right, Yang Qing's family?"
Yang Rong, who was named, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is not Duke Zhou who holds this position, but Duke Zhao, another uncle of King Cheng, who once held this position."
Zhu Di nodded: "So that's the case, whoever he is, anyway... this Mr. Zhao is also a well-known figure. I see, these guys are really full of talents. They have a lot of knowledge. Look, they said I don't even understand what you said. Do you understand, Zhu Qing?"
Zhang Anshi said subconsciously: "I...understand..."
Zhu Di glared at him: "I didn't ask you."
After all, he looked at Yang Rong and the others.
Yang Rong and the others smiled wryly and shook their heads.
Zhu Di said: "So, this is a university question. There are very few people in the world who are proficient in this way! But these boys are proficient in it. What is this? ...They are all educated people, and it is true that they are called Taibao."
"However..." Zhu Di continued to walk a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "This Taibao...isn't right, a group of guys with hairless mouths, what are they called Taibao, let's call them Shaobao...Oh, no, It’s the prince’s Shaobao that’s right, all in all, the Thirteen Shaobao is very good.”
When Xu Jingchang and the others heard this, their eyeballs almost fell out.
Although the crown prince Shaobao is a vain job, in fact... many ministers who are extremely human will have such notices.For example, Wei Guogong is the prince and grand teacher, and Qi Guogong is the prince and grand teacher.
But these guys, after all, have not won the title, even if they have, such as Meng Wen, I am afraid that they may not be able to get a vacant position for the prince.
Although this is only an honorary title, it can also show its weight.
At least for the current Xu Jingchang, Meng Wen and others, it can be regarded as something to brag about for a lifetime.
Zhu Di was obviously a real person, and immediately said: "Yi Shiha."
Yi Shiha stepped forward and said, "Your servant is here."
"This matter must be drafted and announced to the world."
Yi Shiha said: "Slaves... obey the order..."
With so many crown princes and Shaobao sealed up all at once, even Yi Shiha felt his scalp tingle.
Zhu Di said again: "These guys will be role models for all the disciples in the future. If other disciples are as uplifting as they are, not to mention this, I will be willing to give no matter how many rewards they have."
Xu Jingchang immediately looked proud.
Meng Wen and others were even more delighted.
With Zhang Anshi beside him, a big stone fell to his heart.
To a certain extent, Xu Jingchang and others set a precedent for getting a false job by doing research, but obviously... it also helps to make more people interested in it.
Zhang Anshi even planned to... fool some children of wealthy businessmen into coming in.
Anyway, these guys are idle when they are idle, so they can make more contributions while they are young, and reflect their personal value, that would be great!
The most important thing is that these guys are not short of money, it's better to save money.
The Marquis of Baoding and others couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately felt that their waists were much straighter.
False position is not important, what is important is the approval of the son in the palace, once there is this approval, then the family can last forever.
Immediately, Zhu Di looked at the steam car with great interest, and he couldn't help feeling a little curious, and said, "This thing...this thing...how did you make him move?"
After Xu Jingchang thanked him, he got up quickly and said, "Your Majesty...it's simple... just shovel coal into the boiler and burn it."
"That's it?" Zhu Di was very surprised.
Hu Guang was at the side, and he thought it was inappropriate to seal more than a dozen princes at once, but when he heard this, he suddenly regained his energy.
He tilted his head, leaned close to Yang Rong's ear, and said in a low voice, "Look, it's really like making a fire, just like cooking with a fire."
Yang Rong ignored him directly.
Zhu Di thought it was unbelievable, because everyone knew about the fire, but it was unimaginable that the fire could move the iron lump.
Zhu Di said: "So that's how it is."
He said this, and then said: "Anyway, seeing you here... keeping yourselves safe, I am relieved, and I have to focus on serious things. This time... Zhang Qing's family also contributed a lot, not only teaching their children , this thing, the Zhang Qing family also has a credit, and they will reward it later."
Zhang Anshi said: "I am ashamed..."
But Zhu Di said: "Okay, I'm relieved. Come and drive back to the palace! Zhang Qing, you come with me."
After hearing this, Zhang Anshi quickly said, "Yes."
After leaving this huge workshop and walking out of the high wall, Zhu Di seemed like a lifetime away.I still think about the huge iron lump in my mind, and my heart is still shocked.
He even couldn't help thinking, could this really be made by manpower?Such a thing, I'm afraid... only the divine law has it.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't help being moved in my heart.
In the past, no matter how it was improved, no matter how much it was artillery and firecrackers, he still understood the principles behind it.
But today's thing is really far beyond his cognition, relying on the components, which are closely connected with each other, such a thing can be produced.
No matter how stupid Zhu Di is, he still knows...the power of this science.
Therefore, when Zhu Di got on his horse, Zhang Anshi rode side by side with him, leaving the rest behind.
Zhu Di said: "This thing...is amazing."
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, Your Majesty... From my point of view, there are many kinds of knowledge in this world, and different kinds of knowledge are different. But this world, for a long time, has only cared about one kind of knowledge..."
Zhu Di glared at him and said, "You brat, you're starting to scold Confucius in front of me again."
"Your minister is wronged..." Zhang Anshi said: "The sage Kong... is a great person. More than 2000 years ago, he was able to understand so many truths and convince so many people in later generations. What an amazing thing. In the world, there are probably not many people who can match the sage Confucius."
Now Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Anshi to say such a sentiment.
I saw Zhang Anshi said calmly: "The ones I don't like are actually those Confucian scholars who pick up people's teeth and wisdom! People say that the blue is better than the blue, and there are talents from generation to generation, but the Confucian scholars of later generations have wasted their lives. Yes, I only do one thing in my life, and that is parroting! Just like that, he still claims that he has some knowledge beyond the sky, and he is complacent about it."
At the end of Zhang Anshi's speech, he subconsciously revealed a bit of disdain.
After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, if someone understood this kind of knowledge 2000 years ago, then this person must be a genius! But after 2000 years, there are still people showing off the knowledge of people from the pre-Qin period. Then... the minister said something unpleasant, these people, it is not an exaggeration for the minister to say a word about wine and food."
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard it: "You have a temper. It's just that these words should not be listened to. If not, your reputation as a treacherous minister will be well established."
Zhang Anshi said indifferently: "Whether the minister is loyal or traitor, how can it be their turn to judge? As long as your Majesty..."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, okay, of course I know, these Confucian scholars hate it. Your knowledge is very interesting and useful. Of course... if it doesn't cost money, it will be better and more interesting."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
He really wanted to ask His Majesty, is there a free lunch in the world?
Seeing Zhang Anshi stupefied, Zhu Di said, "What I mean is, when you turn around, you should say hello to those boys and teach them to save money. What do they think of me as the God of Wealth?"
Regarding Zhu Di's exhortation, Zhang Anshi was actually a little embarrassed, and said: "Ah... this... yes, yes, I... next time... I must say hello."
Zhu Di said: "Your knowledge can be regarded as the knowledge of the world. Now that you can produce such a thing, I look forward to what else will be produced in the future...but... this thing... is more expensive."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the cost is of course high, but I don't want the child to be caught by a wolf! In the future..."
Before Zhang Anshi finished speaking, Zhu Di became excited, and said: "Mother, you sounded good, why don't you want your child to be trapped by a wolf, you are Shezhen's child to trap a wolf."
Zhang Anshi felt a little wronged, drooped his head and said, "You can't say that, the minister actually owns the shares... This child... the minister has an arm anyway..."
Zhu Di opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he seemed to think of something, and stopped immediately.
He took a deep breath, and then said again: "Forget it, forget it, leave it to you, just take it as what I said just now, I never said it."
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then changed the topic: "The craftsmen here... you can reward them later."
Zhang Anshi immediately raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di. He always thought that Zhu Di was a reckless person, but he never expected that he would have such a careful side.
Zhu Di said earnestly: "It's a heavy reward, in a word...whether it's in the name of you, the right governor, an official, or a large sum of money, or a reward. If you contribute, you must benefit someone! Otherwise, who is willing to use their lives?"
As he said that, he glared at Zhang Anshi, and then said, "Don't think I'm so stingy, I've given so much money, is there still a little bit of reward money? In addition, you draw up a charter, this The workshop... must be of great use, I have seen it, and it will definitely contribute to the country in the future, so... it needs to be more perfect, this is no longer a grass-roots team."
