Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

It would be nice to have that much pig iron, though! !

Chapter 92

Seeing Li Tai's expression, Li Shimin knew that it was not a problem of lacking anything.

And the development of science, I can't understand it myself!

He could only comfort himself and said: "Forget it, forget it, I am lucky to have a fire dragon stove."

"Father waits for a few years, and the steelmaking furnace will definitely be built."

"Well, I'll wait and see, but~"

Li Shimin changed the subject of the conversation, and exhorted Li Tai with a serious expression.

"The steelmaking furnace is a major event for the community, so the emperor must take it to heart and never slack off.

Whether it's a lack of money or food or manpower.

As long as I have something, I will try my best to help you. "

"I understand!" Seeing Li Shimin's serious exhortation.

In fact, Li Tai would rather have a steelmaking furnace, but it's a pity that this technology is firmly restricted, it's quite difficult to do!

At this moment.

Yang Siqi walked in a hurry, holding a piece of iron in both hands, as if he was holding a baby, and walked in front of the two with a happy face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Highness. This is a piece of iron that has just been baked, and it is worth 1 yuan!!"

"1 yuan!? Are they all of this size?" Li Shimin was amazed.

He originally thought that the molten iron pool was enlarged, and the molten iron was divided into 1 small squares by stone bricks, and the iron blocks should be very thin.

But he still underestimated the output of the blast furnace, which can be as thick as a brick.

Li Shimin took the iron block with some excitement, and began to size it up.

I saw that the iron block was blue in color as a whole, and it was square, with a connection to other iron blocks left on one side, which looked like a big brick with a handle.

After weighing it for a while, Li Shimin said, "I think this piece of iron weighs three catties!"

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and this piece of iron weighs just three catties."

"It weighs three catties, just enough to make a Tang knife."

Li Shimin muttered to himself very much.

"One... 1 yuan? That's [-] Tang knives.

In one day and one night, [-] catties of iron can be refined, which can be used to make [-] Tang knives. "

Thinking of this, he was very excited, and admired from the bottom of his heart: "Just with this [-] jin of iron, it can be worth the labor of thousands of people. It is really a high yield!!"

This heavy output can be called terrifying. If you have hundreds of blast furnaces, you can easily have tens of millions of fully armed soldiers.

It's just that this is just thinking about it, except for iron, food can't support tens of millions of troops at all....

But just thinking about it makes me feel excited. With the blast furnace, the Li family's situation is stable.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face was full of smiles, the corners of his mouth almost went to the back of his head.

He returned the iron block to Yang Siqi, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I am very pleased.

Pass on my oral order to reward all craftsmen with a consistent amount of money each. "

Yang Siqi was stunned for a moment, and when he heard that it was a reward, he immediately smiled and saluted: "Caomin thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Yiguan money is actually one or two taels of silver, that is, one thousand Wen, which can buy more than 1000 catties of rice, and its purchasing power is quite high.

He turned around and greeted all the craftsmen: "Come here, come here, Your Majesty ordered that everyone be rewarded with money."

Listening to the reward, everyone put down their work, like iron sand attracted by a magnet, quickly gathered towards Li Shimin, and looked at Li Shimin eagerly.

Li Shimin glanced at everyone, and repeated: "You have made great achievements in building the Huolong furnace, and you have made great achievements in making [-] catties of iron. You should be rewarded, and each person will have a consistent amount of money."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Grassman." Hearing Li Shimin's reward with his own ears, the craftsmen saluted together, with smiles on their faces.

"If you have nothing to do, go back to work after you leave!!" Li Shimin said as he dismissed the craftsmen.

"Yes!!" The craftsmen scattered and quickly returned to their work place, their enthusiasm improved a lot.

Everyone else left, only Yang Siqi hadn't left yet, Li Shimin asked a little puzzled, "What else do you want?"

Yang Siqi lowered his head and saluted with embarrassment on his face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Caomin wants to report to His Highness that there is a problem with the industrial master machine."

"Industrial machine?" Li Shimin heard the word again and looked at Li Tai suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Li Tai asked hastily.

Yang Siqi lowered his head and saluted with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Caomin...Caomin can't explain clearly for a while, please His Highness go and have a look."

"Quick, lead the way." Li Tai knew that something must be wrong after hearing this.

"Yes."

Yang Siqi hurriedly led the way and led Li Tai to see the industrial machine.

Li Shimin followed curiously, wanting to see what this so-called industrial mother machine was.

Soon, Li Tai saw the industrial master machine he was thinking about in the house.

I saw only a pair of parts steaming in the room.

Li Tai saw the problem at a glance, even though he was an outsider, he could still see the problem.

Putting aside strength and the like, just take the gear in front of you as an example.

Since the gear is also poured directly with the mold, this leads to

This gear showed potholes, teeth of different sizes, and even one gear missing, which is obviously a substandard gear.

That's all for the gears alone, let's not talk about other parts and more problems.

Obviously, the industrial mother machine is directly stillborn...

Cool!

Just a rough industrial machine is not enough, and the steam engine does not know when it will wait...

Thinking of this, Li Tai felt a headache.

"Your Majesty, do you want to recast this industrial machine?" Yang Siqi asked Li Taidao cautiously.

"Yes, of course, he must be cast at all costs."

Li Tai's tone was extremely firm, if he gave up the industrial mother machine because of this difficulty, then the future industry would still be playing with a hammer! !

"But..." Yang Siqi looked at Li Shimin: "But His Majesty asked Cao Min and others to forge weapons...I'm afraid."

The meaning of Yang Siqi's words is obvious. While casting weapons, he has to make this industrial mother machine over and over again, and some people can't find manpower.

"Hey, why is Huang'er obsessed with industrial mother machines?"

Looking at the pile of scattered parts, Li Shimin felt a strange mechanical beauty and an extra heartache.

This is all iron, so much iron is several thousand catties!

"You try your best to cast the parts of the industrial machine, don't worry about other things." Li Tai said to Yang Siqi.

After finishing speaking, Li Tai gestured to Li Shimin with his eyes, letting him feel the power of the machine.

The two came to a room, where Li Tai and Li Shimin were sitting opposite each other, with a charcoal fire between them and tea on the stove.

"There is no one here, so the emperor can talk." Li Shimin motioned to Li Tai and said.

"Father, please let someone weigh it." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Go, let someone carry the scale." Li Shimin waved his hand and ordered outside the door.

"Yes."

Soon, the Royal Forest Army outside the door brought a steelyard.

This scale is very large, with black stains on it, and it seems to be used to weigh coal and iron.

Chapter 93 The king admires you very much

Li Tai held the scale and showed the famous parts.

"Father, please look, the hook, the weight, and the beam form a scale. When using it, just hang the goods on the hook and move the weight to measure the weight of the goods."

Li Shimin looked at it speechlessly and said, "I still understand this name."

"Hey, please look carefully, Father, this weight has never changed, but the weight of this cargo has changed.

Just imagine, if the beam is infinitely long and extremely hard, can you weigh larger goods just by moving the weight? "

"Should...that's right!" Li Shimin thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case.

If the beam is long enough and hard enough, then the weight remains unchanged, and no matter how heavy things can be weighed, there is no problem logically.

For example, to weigh the sun, moon, and stars, or to weigh the entire universe? "

"Weighing the sun, moon and stars?? Weighing the universe???" Li Shimin lost his voice in surprise.

At first he thought it was nothing, it was no big deal if the beam was longer.

But when he heard the weighing of the sun, moon, stars, and the entire universe, he was stunned.

Science calls the sun, the moon, and the stars a bigger...cargo? ?

Are all scientists so arrogant?

Li Shimin swallowed, looked at Li Tai in disbelief, then looked down at Sai, with three points of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

If it's not a joke...

There was no need for Li Tai to make such a joke with himself.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin frowned and began to think about this possibility.

The beam of the scale is infinitely long and extremely strong... the sun, the moon and the stars are on the hook...

From a logical analysis, it seems that there is nothing wrong...it seems to be really feasible...

Thinking of this, Li Shimin took a deep breath, and began to doubt his life.

impossible! !

Can it really be done?

He began to rack his brains to think, and a picture began to appear in his mind.

The giant weighed in one hand, and the gleaming sun hung on a hook at one end. With the other hand, he moved the weight of the scale...Looking at the scale on the scale.

The picture was too terrifying...he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes were filled with fear, his mouth was opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time.

This is really incredible! !

"Royal Father, Royal Father???"

Li Tai looked at Li Shimin who was stunned, and waved his hand in front of his eyes, trying to interrupt the other's brain.

"Huh? Tell... where did it end?"

Li Shimin wiped the sweat off his brow, and looked at Xiang Cheng again with a different meaning in his eyes.

"Father, is everything okay!?" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin worriedly, not knowing what he had imagined, so that his head was sweating profusely.

"It's okay...it's okay...what can I do?" Li Shimin felt that he had heard something great, he smiled reluctantly, and said pretending to be calm.

Li Tai consoled with contempt, "Don't worry, father, this is just a hypothesis, an example of physics."

"If physics is used to study driving machinery, iron birds that fly in the sky, iron boats that swim in the water, and iron cars that gallop on land can be created!"

"Iron birds flying in the sky? Iron boats in the water? Iron cars galloping on land???"

Li Shimin muttered in his mouth, his imagination began to lack, and he couldn't imagine this kind of picture.

In his cognition, doesn't iron sink when thrown into water?Can a bird made of iron fly?
