The most typical example of a resource-locked technology tree is the lack of horses and iron ore in the New World, which resulted in the New World not even having a carriage. The Central Plains Dynasty lacked gold, silver, copper, and shallow, easy-to-mine coal fields, which were generally deeper than three feet. To produce coal, you need to dig tunnels, shafts, supports, drainage, ventilation, gas, etc.
Moreover, the coal fields must be in the hinterland, not on the edges, so that the cost will be lower. The transportation costs are too high these days. In order to obtain four million shi of grain, Ming Dynasty had to work hard.
There are actually Iron Mountains in the New World of North and South America, but the Iron Mountains are too far away from the core hinterland.
The core logic of the resource-locked technology tree is actually very simple. Coal is expensive or cheap. A pound of coal costs six to eight cents. Moreover, the price of coal will soar when it rains or snows. It is enough to show that the supply is less than demand, so there is no extra coal to burn to light up the steam engine technology tree.
It’s not that there’s no demand, it’s that there’s not enough coal. Every pound of coal is lifted out of the kiln at risk.
If the coal is dug out in the open air, it may be sold for only one penny per pound, and if the amount is sufficient, the coal can naturally be used to increase production efficiency and a usable water pumping machine can be built, which will increase the coal mining efficiency. This is it.
However, the coal of the Ming Dynasty came from the kiln shaft and went as deep as forty or fifty floors underground. The amount was very small, so we could only burn it sparingly.
The steam engine in the West was not created overnight. The genius inventor Watt said that a steam engine was needed, and a steam engine was born.
From the end of the 16th century to the 17th century, the coal mining industry in England was highly developed. Manpower and animal power alone could no longer meet the demand for pumping groundwater from mines. Coalfields had abundant and cheap coal, and the exploration of "using firepower to lift water" And experiments began at the end of the 16th century and lasted for more than a hundred years. At the end of the 18th century, Watt completely improved the steam engine and became the core driving force of the Industrial Revolution.
This long development process is a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change.
The Ming Dynasty could not afford to burn large amounts of coal so extravagantly, but it didn't matter. Zhu Yijun took out silver to encourage craftsmen to innovate.
Zhu Yijun did not want to wait any longer, and ordered the cabinet that he was willing to use 500,000 taels of silver from the internal funds as a reward to promote the exploration and experiment of using firepower to lift water and find a solution in the name of the Royal Academy of Geosciences.
It would take even the Xishan Coal Bureau five years to earn this amount of money, but the emperor directly took out the money from internal funds.
"Mother, I went to the Xishan Coal Bureau to see that the kiln residents went down to the mines with the idea of five lives and a lifetime to dig coal. Currently, the Xishan Coal Bureau uses water drains to collect water, which has led to water seepage in the Xishan Coal Bureau. , one after another, last year, there were 153 water seepage incidents in Xishan Coal Bureau, and 1,750 kiln residents died, accounting for 90% of all deaths." Zhu Yijun has not yet taken office, and has spent 50% of his internal money. One hundred thousand taels, naturally I have to explain it carefully to Queen Mother Li.
Empress Dowager Li was born into a poor family. She looked at Zhu Yijun and smiled happily and said: "The emperor has grown up. Although he does not seem to be in charge, he already has rules for doing things. My mother is a woman and does not know so much. This money From my mother's point of view, it is the same thing as Baoqisi. Since it is beneficial to the people of the world, then do it boldly."
Empress Dowager Chen took a sip of tea and said: "The whole world belongs to your Majesty. It's just a little money. If your Majesty thinks it's worth it, it's worth it. If your Majesty says it's worth it, it's worth it."
Zhu Yijun actually prepared a story to persuade the two empress dowagers, but he just started it, and the two empress dowagers directly expressed their support.
If the little emperor starts to reason, the queen mothers of the two palaces will even have the feeling of facing the official of the court. There is no need to tell stories, and they can do it boldly. If something goes wrong, they can just issue an edict to scold Zhang Juzheng. Who would let Zhang Juzheng be too embarrassed? Fu, it’s all the fault of the emperor for not educating him well.
In the eyes of the Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces, your Majesty can do whatever you want with your internal funds. This palace and the world belong to Your Majesty. The Emperor values arithmetic and the principle of infinity of all things. In the eyes of the Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces, there is nothing wrong with cultivating immortality with Emperor Jiajing. The difference is that they are not doing their job properly.
Emperor Jiajing practiced Taoism for more than 20 years, and Emperor Longqing often rewarded hundreds of thousands of taels for hundreds of arts. The courtiers all opposed it, and Zhang Juzheng objected repeatedly. Isn't it useless?
The power of the emperor of Ming Dynasty was unlimited, but the emperor of Ming Dynasty himself was a person who existed in a physical sense.
Zhu Yijun chatted with the empress dowagers of the two palaces for a long time, and then left after having dinner in Cining Palace.
Zhu Yijun summoned Zhang Juzheng again and asked whether this decree was reasonable. After all, it was his first edict to the Ming craftsmen collective, and he had to confirm whether this decree was appropriate.
"I pay homage to your Majesty, is your Majesty bowing well?" Zhang Juzheng said.
Zhang Juzheng was very surprised by the emperor's decree. According to past experience, an emperor who was stingy and frugal was a bit like a brave man who could only get in but not get out. But when the emperor asked for 500,000 yuan, it didn't look like it. What a cheapskate can do.
"I'm sorry, sir, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Sir, I have been listening to the government for a long time. If you have any understanding of the government orders, please correct me."
"Since my husband went to Chen Wu Shi Shu, I have read all the government decrees, and I have found a common feature, that is, the vision, mission, and goals of this government decree are all written in the memorial. Everything is good, it will benefit the court at the top and the poor people and coolies at the bottom, but when the cost is not mentioned at all, I will immediately express my opposition."
"There is no such thing as a pie in the world that is all good and has no harm."
"Take today's Xishan Coal Bureau as an example. Xishan has been mining coal for a long time. It has been four to five hundred years since the Jin Kingdom occupied Youzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. In such a long time, the rich shallow ores have been mined, and only Can go down into deep wells to mine.”
"The decree of the Xishan Coal Bureau is to benefit the imperial court. After all, the imperial court can use this to gather profits and benefit the poor coolies at the lower end. After all, firewood, rice, oil and salt are the top priority. Coal in the capital is cheap but firewood is expensive. As long as coal can be supplied stably, the capital can benefit. The people take a breather.”
"But what is the price? I, the three princes, and my uncle Li He donated our kilns to the court for unified procurement and sales. Xu Congcheng died for this. This price seems to be that of the powerful gentry, but it is not entirely true. , in fact, there is another price, which is the poor coolies.”
"To be specific, it's the kiln workers who go down the wells. They are also paying the price. They are exchanging their lives for coal. I can't bear it."
Like the tens of millions of poor coolies in Chen, they are the majority. The world belongs to the people of the world, and they are the people of the world.
The cost of the Xishan Coal Bureau's decree is not only the sponsorship of Shi Haoyou, but also the actual kiln workers who mine coal. Shi Haoyou loses assets, but the kiln workers who dig coal lose their lives.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng listened to His Majesty's words very carefully and said sincerely again that His Majesty has met all the conditions for taking charge.
The Regent of the Ming Dynasty did not intend to continue to usurp the emperor's authority and remain regent. Since he planned to return to power, he had to carefully consider whether His Majesty was qualified for the job. And now His Majesty is already a wise king.
Zhang Juzheng himself knew very well that His Majesty was very wise.
During the Jiajing and Longqing years, Zhang Juzheng was the kind of courtier who did not please the emperor but could not be used. Zhang Juzheng scolded Jiajing for practicing Taoism regardless of the common people in the world. He said that it was too difficult for Emperor Jiajing to conquer the end and gave up halfway. He compared Emperor Jiajing and Tang Xuanzong Li Long Qi was compared, Zhang Juzheng relied on the cabinet to oppose Emperor Longqing's extravagance, and bargained not to spend money on Emperor Longqing. Whenever Emperor Longqing spent too much money, Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter to object.
In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Longqing, Zhang Juzheng was an even more annoying minister than Hai Rui. After all, Hai Rui could only say a few words, while Zhang Juzheng could effectively influence the implementation of government decrees.
But during the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng, who did not please the emperor, more often advised the emperor not to be too radical and to be benevolent and forgiving.
Because it is really not easy to understand these three words.
Take His Majesty's principles for analyzing government decrees as an example. Like Sun Wukong, His Majesty can clearly see the other party's fundamental purpose and speak in terms of cost and price.
This is wisdom. Zhang Juzheng said that Your Majesty is wise because His Majesty is really wise.
Zhu Yijun said with great conviction: "According to Mr.'s theory of contradiction, one thing or a government order must have two sides. Only the advantages are mentioned, and the disadvantages are not mentioned. That means there are several possibilities."
"The first is that the hidden costs are huge, expensive, and even destabilizing the country, so they can only be avoided; second, the will to implement decrees comes from the supreme emperor, and they have to be implemented. If there are political trends to oppose, they can only be avoided. ; Third, when executing, you will bear unimaginable risks and pressures, which is unexecutable and can only be avoided."
"Still taking the Xishan Coal Bureau as an example. The cost of coal mining is the lives of powerful people and ordinary people. Exchanging lives for coal is the harm caused by the court's harsh punishment of poor people and coolies. The will of the government comes from me, and the kiln workers go to the mines to mine. Coal is an unimaginable risk.”
"Now that this decree is being implemented, it seems logical that I will spend five hundred thousand taels of silver to encourage the innovation of production tools and reduce the risk of kiln collapse."
Zhu Yijun first admitted that some of the wrong decisions he made in the Xishan Coal Bureau decree were too idealistic, and he felt that with Wang Chonggu, a courtier who amassed profits, it could be done.
Yes, it was indeed done, but the imperial court also bore the risk of being a common people. The previous Hu Yuan, a common people, had been overthrown by Mo Dao Shiren, who had one eye and stirred up the world in the Yellow River.
Zhu Yijun asked about the treatment of Xishan Coal Bureau, and it was the same as that of the official woolen factory. In other words, if the kiln workers went down the well and never came out, the court would give each person a pension of twenty taels of silver, which was the same as the pension of the Ming Dynasty's imperial army. It’s almost the same.
However, the risk for the common people is still there, so it is necessary to set up a bonus of 500,000 taels of silver to reduce the risk.
The death of a skilled craftsman in a mining accident is a huge loss to the craftsman's family and a huge loss to the multi-official factory. To reduce losses is to reduce costs. Therefore, Zhu Yijun's encouragement of innovation in production tools and technological progress is very reasonable. One more thing.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again. His Majesty's analysis method of the Theory of Contradiction has been perfected. The cheap Confucians can no longer fool the little emperor. Reading the Theory of Contradiction is doomed that His Majesty will think about issues based on facts. This kind of thinking has been completely eliminated. With cultivation, Zhang Juzheng no longer has anything to worry about.
His mission as the Ming Shenzong has been completely completed.
"Sir, I have a good thing." Zhu Yijun stood up and started his performance. To be precise, he made a basic model of fire power to pump water.
"This is a steam-rotating ball from Taipei. It's very simple. Add water here. After the water is heated, the steam enters the ball along the copper tube, and the ball begins to spurt out, causing the ball to start rotating." Zhu Yijun first demonstrated The first object is a spinning ball.
A three-legged sealed pot can be filled with water, and a small hollow ball with two air outlets that are tangent to the circle.
Zhu Yijun lit the oil lamp under the table, and the oil lamp began to heat up. Soon the ball began to rotate slowly. When the water in the sealed pot began to boil, the ball rotated faster and faster, and even made a whistling sound. Slowly The water became less, Zhu Yijun used the lid to extinguish the oil lamp, and the ball slowly stopped.
Fire power, steam, rotation, and if coupled with a crank, reciprocating motion can be achieved.
"It is said that Hero, a doctor of mathematics in Alexandria, invented it more than 1,400 years ago, but according to Taixi, this thing should have appeared less than fifty years ago." Zhu Yijun explained the origin of this thing.
The steam ball was first recorded in the "Machinery Collection". The steam ball was an invention during the Renaissance and was named after the sages. Even the mechanical collection was most likely created during the Renaissance.
"This steam-rotating ball is the first method I thought of to use firepower to lift water, but this method is extremely inefficient. Sir, please follow me." Zhu Yijun explained very clearly that the efficiency of steam jets is really too low.
The reason Zhu Yijun was so sure was that he made a pot.
The shape of this pot is very unique, like a teapot, but the teapot spout is at the top, thin and long. The spout blows towards the copper blade, and the blade drives a crank to achieve reciprocating motion for grinding powder, but no matter what I tried this method of blowing the blades with jets, but failed.
It moved, but it moved too slowly, and the grinding efficiency was too low.
"The reason why I did this is because of the lights in Aoshan. Feng Daban asked people to make a revolving lantern. There is a spoke on the revolving lantern. After the lamp is lit, the hot air drives the spoke to rotate, and the spoke drives the light screen, slowly rotating, and the revolving lantern , the lights are turned off and the horses are running, the lights are turned off and the horses are stopping." Zhu Yijun took out a palace lantern and took it apart.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Aoshan Lantern Festival of the Ming Dynasty was held as scheduled. Zhu Yijun still did not join in the fun because he did not want to reward money, but he paid attention to a very interesting thing, the revolving lantern.
The revolving lantern has an impeller, and the hot air blows the impeller to rotate, and the impeller drives the animation screen to rotate. This thing was already extremely popular in the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Yijun even built a steam pot and tried to blow the impeller.
"It's a pity that it failed." Zhu Yijun said slightly distressed. He knew the principles of steam engines very well, but the process of exploration did not seem to be smooth. At this point, Zhu Yijun stopped. This is currently, he is based on the Ming Dynasty. Known technology tree, got two toys.
Without exception, they are all toys that cannot be practiced.
Zhu Zaiyu looked at the teapot turbine and blades made by His Majesty and began to think thoughtfully. Zhu Yijun did not notice Zhu Zaiyu thinking.
Zhu Zaiyu, the first sacrificial wine of the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty, a great scientist of the Ming Dynasty, the inventor of the Twelve Equal Temperament and the compact musical instrument, the one who named King Zheng's watch, and the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, returned to the Qintianjian Yamen after finishing the performance.
He thought about His Majesty's experiment. His Majesty's experiment brought many novel ideas to Zhu Zaiyu, and he vaguely noticed the reason why His Majesty's experiment failed to take shape.
The speed of the ejected steam is too slow, and when the ejected steam is in an open environment, there is only one impeller, and the impeller is not dense enough.
Zhu Zaiyu first had to solve the problem of too slow jet speed. How to lock the steam in a closed space, and then erupt the steam at an extremely fast speed and blow the blades, became Zhu Zaiyu's top priority. Work.
Sealing is not difficult, it can be done using spirals and copper sheets. Zhu Zaiyu designed a very strange pot.
The pot weighs more than forty kilograms and is made entirely of iron. There is a copper pad on the bottom of the lid, which is pressed and sealed with screws. The water injection port can also be rotated and sealed, and an iron block weighing four or two pounds is pressed on the water outlet.
In Zhu Zaiyu's design, the expansion force of the steam is large enough to push up the iron block, and the speed of the steam is naturally extremely fast.
The first experiment failed without a doubt. A roaring explosion sounded. Fortunately, the person setting the fire was far away, and the exploding iron pieces flew everywhere. However, the failed experiment did not dampen Zhu Zaiyu's enthusiasm; The iron block weighing four taels was reduced to two taels.
During the continuous experiments, Zhu Zaiyu recorded the process in detail and finally determined the plan for the pressure cooker.
During the pressure cooker experiment, he also made a new sealed revolving lantern impeller, and this time he added four impellers to the sealed circular impeller chamber with an inner diameter of three inches, allowing the high-speed airflow to drive the impellers to rotate.
The more Zhu Zaiyu experimented, the more excited he became. In mid-February of the fifth year of Wanli, Zhu Zaiyu brought his turbine to the emperor.
"Is it that big?" Zhu Yijun looked at the red silk cloth in front of him, which was two people tall and three or four feet long, and said with confusion.
Zhu Zaiyu pulled away the heavy red silk cloth and said: "Your Majesty, here are sixteen pots. The steam enters the impeller chamber through the pipes, and the impeller drives the shaft to rotate rapidly."
The steam provided by one pot is not enough, so sixteen pots are provided together. Zhu Yijun checked the sixteen pots placed side by side. The principle of the pot is very simple. It is a pressure cooker. The iron block pressing the air outlet is the safety valve. When The air pressure in the pot is strong enough. When the safety valve is raised, the steam begins to roar.
The impeller cabin used for display has been spliced, but Zhu Zaiyu thoughtfully prepared an open impeller cabin for His Majesty to inspect. Zhu Yijun saw a very interesting thing, a bearing.
The large iron ring is surrounded by a small iron ring, and there are some copper pillars lined up side by side on the small iron ring. The surface of these copper pillars is smooth and covered with shark oil, and the four-sided impellers are fixed on the shaft.
The shark oil is a rare thing presented by Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Luzon. In fact, this thing is whale brain oil, only three hundred kilograms, but this kind of rare thing is a natural lubricant, so Zhu Yijun saw the bearing.
The impeller in the impeller chamber has also increased from one layer to four layers. The impeller chamber is a trumpet-shaped design with a small head and big feet. The bearing carries a flywheel. As long as it can spin, it is no longer difficult to get water from the ground.
Zhu Yijun frowned and picked up a blade. This blade is flat, with one side flat and one side streamlined. This is the basic principle of a hydrofoil sailboat, which uses the pressure difference generated by the fluid to drive the impeller to rotate. , rather than blowing directly.
The efficiency of direct blowing is really low.
Zhu Zaiyu applied this technology to the impeller. His experience with hydrofoil sailboats told Zhu Zaiyu that the Ming Dynasty's hard sails can sail against the wind and use the wind more efficiently. So directly using this style of blades on the impeller can Effectively increase efficiency.
The densely packed impeller blades are arranged in an orderly manner, making the most efficient use of the fast-flowing wind.
Yes, in Zhu Zaiyu's view, what His Majesty wants is a machine that uses wind power on land. Isn't the high-speed flowing steam a kind of wind power? Isn't the impeller on the marquee the sail of the bearing? How to use wind power more efficiently is what Zhu Zaiyu wants to do.
Chemical energy is converted into thermal energy of steam, thermal energy of steam is converted into fluid energy, and fluid energy is converted into mechanical energy. This is the energy conversion of the entire process.
After Zhu Yijun checked everything, he signaled Zhu Zaiyu to start showing.
"Add water! Your Majesty, stay away for the time being." Zhu Zaiyu was still frightened by the last explosion and was afraid of another accident this time, so he asked His Majesty to stay away.
If this thing explodes, it doesn't matter if it hurts Zhu Zaiyu. If it hurts His Majesty, there is no need to study the matter of using firepower to lift water. All the craftsmen involved in this matter may be beheaded.
The retroists are probably going to be so happy that they grab the ground with their heads.
Zhu Yijun stood in the distance, looking at the monster, with mixed emotions on his face, as if a villager had shared the absurd feeling of controllable nuclear fusion with Zhu Yijun.
The chief scientist of the Ming Dynasty did not develop a traditional reciprocating steam engine, but a steam turbine, although it only had four layers.
"Light the fire!" Zhu Zaiyu said loudly, and with an order, the eunuchs who were waiting began to add coal inside. Several eunuchs kept fanning the cattail leaf fans, and soon the coal was ignited. Zhu Yijun had been waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour. Over time, the turbine began to rotate, and the speed of the flywheel changed from slow to a screaming roar.
Zhu Yijun even had the illusion of a plane taking off.
Only half a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Zaiyu ordered a ceasefire. After the turbine stopped completely, Zhu Zaiyu said with annoyance: "Your Majesty, if it can turn, it means it can turn."
"I have observed that every time the steam passes through an impeller, it will slow down, which makes the machine rotate slowly. I am trying to find a solution."
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "You can speed up the speed by reducing it. Between the impellers, install a fixed impeller in the opposite direction that does not rotate. It is only used to guide the flow. Isn't that enough?"
Zhu Zaiyu's eyes suddenly widened, he made a fist with his left hand and hit his right hand hard, and said with ecstasy on his face: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"
Zhu Zaiyu couldn't wait. Because of the reduced flow speed, only the first impeller can utilize the high-speed airflow of steam. However, the airflow speed passing through the three lower impellers will decrease and even have a counterproductive effect. Not only cannot the flywheel speed Faster, the utilization efficiency of one impeller is higher than that of four impellers.
But the little emperor's words allowed Zhu Zaiyu to find a solution. He could increase the speed as much as he wanted to slow down, and by installing a completely opposite impeller, he could speed up the steam again.
Zhu Yijun and Zhu Zaiyu chatted for a long time. First, the one-way impeller was symmetrically designed into two, and it became a structure with a thin middle and thick ends. The reason why it is thin in the middle and thick at both ends is because pressure and volume are inversely proportional. , when the steam pressure decreases, the volume will increase, so it should be thin in the middle and thick at both ends. The reason for this design is to utilize the flow rate of steam as much as possible.
On the third day, Zhu Yijun saw the new impeller, which changed from four to seven. There are three stators responsible for accelerating the steam, and four rotors responsible for driving the bearing rotation. It has changed from a single cylinder to a parallel bar, with shark oil in the middle. Lubrication, utilization efficiency is further improved.
Zhu Yijun stared blankly at the steaming, roaring giant beast in front of him, while Zhu Zaiyu was as happy as a child, looking here and there, he was passing by.
Record the wind speed of the steam entering and the wind speed of the air outlet. In Zhu Zaiyu's view, the reduction of the wind speed at the air outlet is proof of further improvement in efficiency, and the time for the impeller to work stably is an issue that Zhu Zaiyu is urgently concerned about.
How to further improve it, add impellers, change the shape of the blades, further improve the size of the blades, etc., turning is only the first step. How to turn it more efficiently, more stably, and for a longer time is Zhu Zaiyu's idea subject.
Zhang Juzheng looked at this scene in amazement. He knew that a new era had quietly begun.
"Uncle Huang, what is this thing called?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
"Wanli made a steam engine." Zhu Zaiyu said concisely and concisely. The steam turbine invented during the Wanli period was the answer given by Zhu Zaiyu.
Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment and said: "Ask King Zheng to make it."
"I don't want to attack Prince Zheng." Zhu Zaiyu said with great conviction.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "Then I will make a new king for the emperor's uncle? Let's make him King De."
"Your Majesty, King De is the second son of Yingmiao and has been granted the title of king." Zhang Juzheng carefully reminded His Majesty that there is already King De.
"Let Prince De's Palace change its name. If not, we will depose the common people. Anyway, my father also deposed the King of Liao, so he is no less worthy of such a deposed King." Zhu Yijun said with great certainty. Zhang Juzheng obviously understood the meaning of this thing. If Prince De's Mansion refuses to give in, then the feudal clan will be abolished directly and sent to Fengyang Gaoqiang.
"If I receive the royal title, I will no longer be able to do business in the capital. The ancestral law is still there. I just want to take shelter from your majesty and continue to do these strange tricks." Zhu Zaiyu still refused to agree. He did not want the king. Lord, because he became king, he had a vassal ban and could not go anywhere. As long as your majesty continues to support him in his work, he will be extremely lucky.
Zhu Yijun looked at the roaring steam engine and didn't know what to say for a moment. Thousands of words condensed into one sentence, "Uncle Huang."
Everything about Zhu Zaiyu's machine comes from Daming's current technology. With power, Daming's productivity is about to make a leap.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Uncle Emperor, please go to the palace tomorrow to collect five hundred thousand taels of silver. Since Uncle Emperor has conquered a real problem, I will definitely reward him."
Zhu Zaiyu shook his head and said: "Thousands of gold buys horse bones. If your majesty gives it to me, the court will definitely think that it is the left hand and the right hand. I think this is one way to go. There are other ways to go. Your Majesty, please give it to someone else."
"I am already doing things with His Majesty's money, so there is no need to add any more rewards."
Zhu Zaiyu still refused to accept the reward, and the emperor made an in-depth investment in him. In the past few years, all his expenses in the capital included the compilation of arithmetic textbooks, reflecting telescopes for stargazing, calendar astronomy students, and study rooms. The apprentice and editor of Wanli Lvli could not accomplish anything without His Majesty's full support.
He has no money. Which of these things is not a waste of money?
He does not regret, nor does he regret being lured to the capital by His Majesty with a sextant to work as a cow or horse. On the contrary, under the current public opinion of the Ming Dynasty, the things he studies are all deviant and must be protected by the imperial power. , his talents can be fully brought into play.
Therefore, he named the steam engine Wanli Made, which was a product of the Wanli period and was not just his own wisdom.
Zhu Zaiyu left with the new improvement plan. Zhu Yijun looked at the stalled steam engine and said to Feng Bao: "I have ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a royal palace for the emperor's uncle in the Imperial Palace. The regulations will be based on the princely system of the Hongwu period. Gao Liji sent from North Korea, Taixi girl sent from Luzon, and Hailar sent from Northern Lu also need a place to be placed."
"I have issued an order to the Ministry of Rites that the emperor's uncle should comply with the etiquette system and treat him with the courtesy of a prince without any slack."
"I have ordered the Ministry of War to equip the emperor's uncle with four hundred red-helmeted guards. If the emperor's uncle is in trouble, he will sit on the melons and will not tolerate it."
"Feng Daban, assign a number of extravagant personnel to the emperor's uncle. All security matters will be above the prince's. All entrances and exits will be handled by the palace."
"What else can I give you? Just give me this little thing. If you talk about it in the future, I'm afraid you'll scold me for being ungrateful and ungrateful again. It would be better to give the emperor five hundred thousand taels of silver and smash it down with real money, which will make you feel more at ease. There are some.”
"What a strange thing."
It’s not that the reciprocating steam engine was chosen in the wrong technology tree, it’s just that there was no research on fluid energy at the time, so the reciprocating steam engine was in line with the West, but the Ming Dynasty had already researched hard sails. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
