Gu Qingwan was a little dizzy.
If there really is such a thing...
How powerful did the Zhou Dynasty become? ?
Such a powerful carrying capacity and powered only by coal?
this……
It was difficult for Lu Qingwan to imagine what this meant, but what Gu Qingwan knew was...
Once this thing appears, the Zhou Dynasty will definitely enter a new level.
"Is...is there really such a powerful thing?"
Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment and said.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, had another cigarette in his mouth. Gu Qingwan quickly picked up the match beside him and lit it for Lu Yuan.
After Lu Yuan took a sip, he said very proudly:
"Of course, I can do it."
At this time, Gu Qingwan was holding a match, standing next to her with a face full of astonishment and said:
"Now?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"I can draw all the design drawings in a few days."
In fact, Lu Yuan hasn't finished reading about all the parts of the steam engine yet. Lu Yuan just finished reading the principles and theories of the steam turbine today.
This is like Gu Lie's endorsement.
You must first know what the book means and then memorize it.
Otherwise, just remembering how the steam turbine needs to be made and what parts are needed will not work.
Now that we have almost seen the principles and theory, it is very simple to look at the internal design of the steam turbine and its parts.
Basically, Lu Yuan can learn them all in just a few days.
At this time, Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan with great excitement and said:
"Can I see you getting this thing out in a few days?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and said:
"No, this thing is not a bicycle, nor is it as simple as a mortar.
This is not something I can get out by banging with a hammer all morning or all afternoon. There are a lot of small parts inside.
It requires the cooperation of many departments.
And...I don't plan to get this thing in the forging bureau anymore. "
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan blinked and said quickly:
"Then where are you going to do it?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"I'm going to wait until I see Master Tian to tell you. This time I have to let Master Tian reward me well.
It would be a real loss if such a super powerful thing only rewards me with three heads and five hundred bucks. "
Do you want to wait until you see the Lord?
ah……
Gu Qingwan blinked and told the truth...
Gu Qingwan hasn't planned to... meet Lu Yuan soon...
after all……
If we meet soon...
Then why should I call this little guy brother...
I always felt that after this, Lu Yuan would kneel down in fear when he saw him, shouting like the others, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, etc."
Very boring.
But Gu Qingwan really wanted to know what Lu Yuan was currently studying.
While Gu Qingwan was thinking about something, Lu Yuan crossed his legs, shook his head and said:
"Besides, I have to give some advice to Master Tian at that time."
Comments?
Gu Qingwan blinked curiously, looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"What's your opinion?"
Lu Yuan said directly:
"Just don't be so stingy!"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan said with a strange expression:
"Why... why are you so stingy?"
Immediately, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Look Ang, the bicycle I made is now retailing for 120 yuan.
Excluding the mess, the current cost of this bicycle is only sixty or seventy yuan. This does not include the cost of opening a production line, adding professional equipment, and other messy expenses.
The more industrial products of this kind are manufactured in the future, the cost will become lower and lower. The final cost of a bicycle may be only twenty yuan, or even more than ten yuan.
Of course, after cost reduction, the price of bicycles will gradually drop a little, but no matter what, a bicycle can add at least fifty or sixty yuan to the national treasury's net profit.
Do you know how much money this bicycle alone will add to the treasury? I estimate that it must be at least more than one million so far.
But the court only rewarded me 700 yuan. Do you think this is too stingy? "
Gu Qingwan blinked and thought for a moment, this...
If that's the case...
That is indeed a bit stingy.
but……
Gu Qingwan was also aggrieved!
Because Gu Qingwan currently doesn't know how much money this bicycle has added to the national treasury.
The country conducts its fiscal review every six months.
Gu Qingwan hasn't seen the financial income for the past six months yet.
It has just been less than two months after the New Year, and it will take at least four months before the cabinet will check it, so that it can know how the country's fiscal revenue is in the first half of the year.
Now let Lu Yuan say this.
Gu Qingwan was suddenly stunned.
Hiss~
If you want to say that...
This year Lu Yuan came up with those two kinds of threshing machines, and they sold very well, although they were not as popular as bicycles that could be seen with the naked eye.
But in fact, they were bought by local governments as soon as they were produced, and they were sold as soon as they were produced.
So how much is the fiscal revenue for the first half of this year? ?
Gu Qingwan suddenly felt...
The national fiscal revenue in the first half of this year... I am afraid it will reach a very scary figure...
Of course, this was a bit off topic. After returning to her senses, Gu Qingwan nodded in agreement with what Lu Yuan said:
"If you say so...there is something wrong with the imperial court...but...you can't blame the emperor. It's still early for the financial income statement for the first half of the year to be released.
It's only been less than two months since this happened to you. The emperor is also very busy all day long. If you don't see the financial income, the emperor must not know the details. "
After Gu Qingwan finished speaking, Lu Yuan waved his hands and said:
"Hey!! Don't talk nonsense, I don't blame the emperor, did I say that?
You want to be beheaded, but I don't. Don't talk nonsense! "
Seeing Lu Yuan's cautious and fearful look, Gu Qingwan found it funny for no reason and said:
"You have something to be afraid of too."
Lu Yuan glared and said:
"Nonsense, aren't you afraid?"
Gu Qingwan raised her head slightly and said with a smile:
"Afraid~"
"I'm scared to death~"
Gu Qingwan suddenly wanted to take a look. Lu Yuan and others knew that the terrifying emperor he mentioned was him...
So what's the expression of Lu Yuande?
It must be interesting and exciting, right?
Afterwards, Gu Qingwan quickly said:
"Then what do you want to tell the emperor?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and said:
"I want to talk to God about the patent."
patent?
Gu Qingwan had never heard of this term before, and looked at Lu Yuan with curiosity:
"What is a patent?"
Lu Yuan just didn't want to read anymore, so he explained to Lu Qingwan what a patent was and what it did.
en route.
Su Liyan brought a basin of hot water and washed her man's feet.
otherwise……
Su Liyan always felt that it was a bit strange that her man was talking to another woman while she sat aside.
This is my man.
The two women were like this, one standing beside and the other squatting in front of Lu Yuan, both looking at Lu Yuan's words curiously.
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said:
"Do you think this will be beneficial to the entire Zhou Dynasty? Everyone is willing to invent and create.
As long as something useful comes out, this person will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life, and everyone will definitely be willing to participate. "
After listening to Lu Yuan's explanation of the patent, Gu Qingwan fell into deep thought.
From this point of view, it is indeed so.
"Bicycles, I haven't caught up. Otherwise, I don't want too many bicycles. In terms of percentage, it will cost 5% of the patent fee.
You can get five or six yuan for a car, and I have already paid it.
But let’s not talk about the past. I must master this steam engine. "
Lu Yuan shook his head and said.
It doesn't matter if the bicycle doesn't make a lot of money, but the steam engine needs to make a lot of money!
After hearing this, Gu Qingwan nodded thoughtfully.
But soon, Gu Qingwan suddenly looked at Lu Yuan, blinked curiously and said:
"But... if you get the royalties... like you..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and coughed heavily.
Then Gu Qingwan gave Lu Yuan a funny look and said softly:
"It's like a great genius like brother~~~
Could it be that I have slacked off and stopped studying? "
Lu Yuan curled his lips and said:
"Is there anyone in this world who despises himself for making too much money?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingwan nodded seriously, which was true.
After that, Lu Yuan waved to Gu Qingwan and said:
"come over."
Um?
Gu Qingwan approached Lu Yuan curiously, not knowing what Lu Yuan was going to do.
Then, Lu Yuan put his hand to his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a bang, which gave Gu Qingwan a headache.
The next second, Gu Qingwan covered her head, looked at Lu Yuan with an aggrieved look and said:
"What are you doing!!"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Next time I play with you again, I'll hit you again!"
Gu Qingwan pursed her lips with an aggrieved look, and then said softly:
"Okay, okay~ My sister is wrong~ My sister will pour you some water to wash your feet, okay!"
After saying that, he immediately squatted down and tried to pick up Lu Yuan's foot-washing water.
However, this time, Su Liyan stood up and picked up Lu Yuan's foot-washing water. She blinked at Gu Qingwan and said with a smile:
"Sister Wan, let me do it. This is my man, so I don't need you to serve me."
Um……
What happened today made Su Liyan a little...jealous.
I didn't feel anything like this before.
Today, after Gu Lie said something like that, he said he would wait for his sister to get married or something.
This made Su Liyan feel uncomfortable.
Although, my mother said that the eldest daughter-in-law should not be jealous and should be tolerant and generous.
but……
Su Liyan couldn't do it.
This is his man... Su Liyan is already in love with him to the core, and it really doesn't matter if he can't do anything.
Naturally, Gu Qingwan could see that Su Liyan was a little unhappy, and immediately stood up in embarrassment and said:
"Hey... Li Yan, come here..."
Afterwards, Su Liyan turned around to go out with foot-washing water. Gu Qingwan felt that she had gone too far and hurried over to help open the door.
In front of his eldest daughter-in-law, he was too intimate.
I just looked like a vixen...
Just like a shameless mistress...
For a moment, Gu Qingwan felt ashamed when she recalled her appearance just now...
Lu Yuan blinked as he looked at his wife's back as she went out. Naturally, Lu Yuan could see that his wife was a little jealous.
At this time, Gu Qingwan stood there feeling a little embarrassed. After coming back to her senses, she looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"Then...I'll go first then...Gu Lie will leave the imperial city at around five o'clock tomorrow. Brother, are you coming?"
Lu Yuan shook his head directly and said:
"Can't get up."
Gu Qingwan guessed the same, but it would be better this way, otherwise she would not be able to appear in the name of the Human Emperor.
And when the time comes, there will be many people with mixed eyes, and this matter will be easily exposed.
After Su Liyan came back from pouring water for washing feet, Gu Qingwan quickly looked at Su Liyan and said:
"Li Yan, Gu Lie and I will go back first. It's getting late."
When Su Liyan came back from pouring foot-washing water, her attitude suddenly changed. She seemed to feel that she was a little bad just now.
He immediately said quickly:
"We're staying for a while. It's only eight o'clock. There's no rush to go back."
Gu Qingwan started to put on her coat and quickly smiled and said:
"No, no, Gu Lie will get up at three or four next morning to prepare. He will set off at around five o'clock. Let's go back early."
After that, Gu Qingwan looked at Gu Lie who was talking to Su Changyu outside the house and said:
"Gu Lie, come back and get dressed. It's time to go back."
Gu Lie didn't want to go back, so this was a good time for Su Changliang.
Dang even said in a long voice:
"Sister~ What time is it? I'll wait for you later."
But the next second, Gu Qingwan glared, and Gu Lie came back to get dressed with a swish.
Then Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan and smiled:
"Then let's go back first.
Brother, Li Yan, you don’t need to give it away. "
After that, Gu Qingwan led Gu Lie away who had not yet put on his clothes.
The atmosphere was a little too awkward. Gu Qingwan also felt a little sorry for Su Liyan, so naturally she couldn't stay any longer.
Su Changliang watched Gu Lie go and had nothing to do. He said hello to his brother-in-law and sister, then put on his clothes and left.
After everyone has left.
Su Liyan, who was standing in the main hall, suddenly turned around and lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Yuan and said:
"Brother...I was wrong..."
ha?
Lu Yuan was wiping his feet at this time and looking at Su Liyan in confusion:
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Su Liyan lowered her head, her beautiful eyes filled with mist, and whispered:
"I shouldn't be jealous of others... I made Sister Wan angry..."
After Lu Yuan blinked, he threw the towel aside, then stood up and came to his wife, hugging her into his arms.
Said softly:
"Nonsense, I am your man, if this other woman is nice to me, you have to not be angry at all, then you are wrong. There is nothing wrong with this!
Hmm... No, you did make a mistake today. "
Su Liyan, who was holding her man tightly, raised her head slightly, looked at her man and said:
"Eh? What?"
Lu Yuan looked at his crying wife in his arms and grinned:
"After I've washed my feet, why don't you come and wipe my feet? Let me wipe them myself. You said you were right."
Su Liyan blinked, then her nose felt sore, then she looked at her man and said with tears in her eyes:
"Brother, I was wrong~
But...but...brother...can you not let other women serve you in the future...
Just let me serve you alone, and I won't know how to do this. If you let another woman come, brother, then I will be useless..."
Seeing his wife's aggrieved look, Lu Yuan hugged his wife tightly.
One hand gently patted his wife's back, and the other hand stroked his wife's hair and said:
"Don't think blindly, my wife is very powerful, it's useless to scream.
Brother, I can live without anyone in this world, but I can’t live without you. Without you, I won’t be able to live!
Go and wash up quickly. I haven't hugged my wife all day today. I feel like dying. Hurry up. "
At this time, Su Liyan raised her head from her man's arms with a face full of joy. Su Liyan knew that her man was coaxing her, but Su Liyan just liked to hear it.
Su Liyan looked at her man lovingly and said sweetly in her heart:
"Hmm~"
"Brother wants to hug me forever~"
