Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong frowned: "Praise and kill? Such rumors have indeed praised me, but how can I be killed?"

Chai Shu smiled and said: "What's so difficult? His Highness made the Quyuanli and the Keel Waterwheel in Taoyuan City before. There was a time gap between them, but the people didn't know it. Now His Highness just took them all out. It is enough to put His Highness on the altar, and then guide everyone's expectations of His Highness, if His Highness can't come up with new things in a short time, don't they have a chance?"

Xiao Zirong understood it, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "You guys are so dark about politics."

Chai Shuren: ...

He forbears, the right to be the king of Jinling is praising him!

"What does Your Highness plan to do?"

Xiao Zirong looked up at Chai Shuren in a daze: "Then what else can I do? Can this rumor affect me?"

He only cares about folk reviews because of his vanity. In fact, what the people say about him won't affect him. As long as he doesn't drive the people to the point where they can't survive, then there won't be any major problems.

Chai Shuren originally thought that Xiao Zirong would arrest these people aggressively, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even intend to control them, which made him very surprised.

I feel that this is not in line with King Jinling's character. Isn't King Jinling the kind of person who will kill if he disagrees?

Xiao Zirong really didn't care, as long as he wanted to promote himself to the altar, he would be happier when he met such an opponent. The stronger the opponent's praise, the better. thing.

For example, the harvester, this thing is actually on his agenda, but he is not in a hurry. Zhai Wei and the others are in Taoyuan City, and he still wants to find some Mohist children to help.

It's a pity that Zhai Wei seems to have lost contact with her own family, and she can't find where her relatives are at all, so Xiao Zirong can only wait until next year when the Gewu exam is added.

Just waiting for next year, Quyuanli should also be promoted and opened a batch. There will be more cultivated fields, so harvesting will also be a problem, and it will be easier to promote harvesters by then.

It's just that Xiao Zirong didn't want to use everyone's wisdom crystallization for thousands of years to gild his face, so he had arranged for the Privy Council to start publicizing this thing, which is also a credit to the Mohists.

I also hope that if a Mohist child hears about it, he will take the initiative to come to him.

Since Xiao Zirong himself didn't care, Chai Shuren naturally wouldn't get too entangled in this matter. He looked at the map on Xiao Zirong's book case and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness seems to have too many maps on it. something."

He has seen this map. Compared with ordinary maps, there are more road signs on it, but now it seems that there are a few more lines than before, and these lines do not look the same as the road map icons. .

Xiao Zirong said: "Oh, I just change it casually when I have nothing to do."

What he is drawing now is actually a railway map of a steam train. Although the steam train has not been produced yet, it does not prevent him from dreaming.

Anyway, things are settled now, before he still thought about what to do, but in fact, he no longer has to do the forging iron like he did in Taoyuan City when he reached his position.

He just needs to give orders and tell Chai Shuren what result he wants, and Chai Shuren will naturally help him get it done. Naturally, everyone is happy if it meets the expectations. up.

However, whether it is construction or promotion of farm tools, there is a process that takes time. Life is not a game, just click a little.

In this case, Xiao Zirong needs to arrange things according to the stitches.

The steam train was on the agenda, and he had already started asking people to find a blacksmith for him. Both the carriage and the rails were inseparable from metal.

It's just that pure iron doesn't seem to be suitable, so alloys must be used.

Xiao Zirong has great enthusiasm for this, so the construction of the smelter was advanced.

Of course, the smelter is just a nice name, and the actual technology is not too far ahead.

Xiao Zirong originally ordered someone to bring the blower there, but he didn't expect that all the blowers in Taoyuan City are now powered by electricity.

So it might be the smelter that was first powered on, Xiao Zirong felt that it was outrageous.

As for the construction of the power plant, he has always been on his mind. The reason why he didn't take action is because he needs to find more information.

The generators made before are really too crude. If they are only small-scale or for household use, they can be supported.

In order to support the huge electricity consumption of the industrial area, the generator must be more advanced, and it must also have sufficient driving force.

It is not appropriate to rely solely on the natural water flow, not that the power is insufficient, but the natural water flow is very different in the rainy season and the dry season, and the water flow cannot be stabilized at a constant flow rate all year round. This will have a great impact on power plants and industries. area has a greater impact.

A simple example is when there is a lot of rain in summer and the water flows fast, then if it is not controlled, the electricity that may be generated will be more than the electricity that is consumed, and this part of the electricity will be wasted.

When there is less rain in winter, it may catch up with the peak period of electricity consumption, and the generated electricity will not be enough, which will delay production.

Therefore, dams and reservoirs must be used to regulate water flow, and dams are also good for the passage of summer flood peaks, which can minimize flood disasters.

After Xiao Zirong finished writing the planning form, he felt a little uncomfortable.

I also don't understand how I got from building a steam train to building a dam.

But these are all necessary facilities. Xiao Zirong simply and roughly calculated the required labor and money, and then combined with the current situation, he finally came to a conclusion-I am afraid that this thing should be put in The next five-year plan will do.

Xiao Zirong: ...

How could this be possible, he still wanted to give Xiao Xuexing the steam train as a birthday present!

Just when he was thinking about where he could save time, a group of people came from Taoyuan City.

Xiao Zirong was a little surprised when Liu Cainiang said that Zhai Ling led the team over. He didn't know why she came here suddenly.

After meeting, Zhai Ling bowed respectfully and said: "A few days ago, my sister said that His Highness might need us in Jinling, so she asked me to bring a group of students here first."

Xiao Zirong was slightly taken aback: "Students? Are these all students from the academy?"

Zhai Ling nodded: "They are the first batch of graduates. They are all very interested in mechanics and are very talented. They are not bad at learning. They can't do big things, but they should be able to help His Highness one or two."

After Zhai Ling finished speaking, he asked someone to hand over the transcripts of those students. Xiao Zirong took a look and was very emotional: "I didn't expect that the first batch of students have already graduated."

This group of students are actually not the natives of Taoyuan City, but the children of the refugees who were accepted later. Most of their parents have been educated, so they themselves have a little background. After the nine-year compulsory education, they only need to learn those who have never Subjects you have been exposed to.

Xiao Zirong was also very happy after reading their transcripts. If he has a helper, he doesn't have to worry about sending someone to find someone who is good at mechanics!

He simply said: "Let Cai Niang arrange a place for you to live in first, then start working for me when you settle down, as I have something for you to do."

Time to get the steam engine out!

Although Zhai Ling and the others had traveled a long distance, they were still in good spirits. After a little rest on the first day, they began to ask for orders on the second day.

When Zhai Ling and the others came over, they happened to meet Xie Lianyun coming to report on work.

Xie Lianyun also really put in his strength and brought the rumors crazy to Jinling King Tianzong Yingcai.

Now the latest rumor has become the rumor that Xiao Zirong's mother was pregnant in a dream, and the god entrusted her dream to give birth to King Jinling.

Anyway, the common people are tirelessly trying to put some mythological color on King Jinling.

Xiao Zirong can't do anything about it. This is what the rulers of all dynasties like to do most. If they don't do this, they can't show their specialness.

But at any rate, the current rumors have become that because the gods entrusted the dream to King Jinling's mother, King Jinling was born smart, and that's why he made so many things.

Well, at least it has changed from being made by gods to being made by humans. At any rate, there has been a huge improvement.

The remaining Xiao Zirong couldn't continue to correct it. People in this land were like this. Even later generations would say "Ziwei Xing from the sky" after seeing a genius. Although it is only an adjective, it has never been The side showed some.

When Xie Lianyun went out, he saw Zhai Ling. When he saw a man and a woman behind her, his eyes widened slightly. He couldn't help looking at Bai Yan next to him and asked, "Sister Bai, who are they?"

Bai Yan explained Zhai Ling's background, Xie Lianyun was a little surprised and said, "Then... are there any men in the Ministry of Industry in Taoyuan City?"

Bai Yan smiled lightly: "Of course I have, some strength is still very useful to live a man."

No matter how pretentious you are, you have to admit that men and women are born with physical differences. Of course, this is not something to admit.

Xie Lianyun looked thoughtful, and she asked about the situation in Taoyuan City, and then she felt as if she understood what Xiao Zirong said to her before.

If they want to be valued, they need to be treated equally. It is useless to form a small circle together, and they will only be rejected by those men even more.

Xie Lianyun felt that she more or less knew the direction of her future efforts.

Xiao Zirong didn't know that Xie Lianyun didn't understand what he had said so much, but he suddenly realized it when he saw Zhai Ling today.

Now Xiao Zirong is taking these people to the site he has prepared before, which is specially used to study steam locomotives.

As soon as Zhai Ling and others entered, they saw eight large characters in red letters on a white background hanging on the wall: Seek truth from facts and respect science.
