Chapter 117: An eye-opener
Looking at the huge monster in front of him, four wide and big wheels, with a "poof, poof" panting machine lying on it, like a large beetle-like thing, Xia Zhu was dumbfounded. After a while, he said, "This is the car?" What can this car be used for? ”
Du Zhongxiao was a little embarrassed: "It's just a car now, and I can't do anything." ”
Xia Zhu almost laughed: "Everything has been done, what is the use of coming!" Du Zhi County, I think this big lump of iron will cost a lot of money, although you have made a lot of money in the fields, you can't be so nonsense! ”
Du Zhongxiao smiled reluctantly, and said after a while: "Xianggong, don't look at this thing as useless now, as long as it is improved little by little, it will be able to be used one day." ”
Xia Zhu shook his head again and again: "What's the use?" Ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and peaceful carts, which cart is not a hundred times better than this? ”
Du Zhongxiao said: "This kind of car does not need cattle and horses, does not need manpower, and does not need grain and grass, as long as coal is burned, it can move forward." Xianggong, think about it, this kind of car can pull a lot of goods briskly-"
Xia Zhu waved his hand violently: "Did you come up with this kind of thing!" Du Zhixian, don't be so foolish! ”
After speaking, ignore Du Zhongxiao and move forward first. Fortunately, Du Zhongxiao's management of Yingtian Wu was particularly good, which left a good impression on Xia Zhu, and Xia Zhu did not say much about this matter. Although I don't know how much money this car costed, just look at the big pile of iron, you know that it is worth a lot of money. In this era, iron can represent money, where is there such nonsense.
Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, looked at the steam car that Tao Qiqi was fiddling with a few people not far away, and shook his head helplessly. Freshman business is always difficult, how many people have such a long-term vision? Nowadays, the weight of the car is too large, so in order not to fall into the mud, it can only use particularly wide and large wheels, which increases the weight of the car. As a result, with the current efficiency of the steam engine, it can only pull itself and move at an unfast speed. It can't pull any goods or people, it's actually a big plaything. That's not all, due to too much coal, the car can't run for long, there must be a place to add coal, which is far from practical, which makes Du Zhongxiao a little doubtful about life.
I always thought that with the knowledge of my past life, it would not be difficult to do this. When Du Zhongxiao made other inventions, it was indeed quite smooth, but he encountered too many difficulties in the manufacture of steam engines. Even if he knew the principle and the direction of research, there were still endless problems, which made Du Zhongxiao a little frustrated.
But on second thought, the steam engine was the core of the Industrial Revolution, where was it so easy to make? It has only been four or five years since I made my own model, and now it is rare to be able to install it on the car and move. In a few years, we might be able to build a train. As long as there are trains, a new era will come in the rumbling wheels.
Shaking his head and sighing, Du Zhongxiao hit his horse to catch up with Xia Zhu.
After passing a vacant lot where Tao 17 and others were fiddling with locomotives, in front of them was a field enclosed by a low wall, which occupied a huge area. At the door, there were a few strong men with knives and guns, patrolling there, and when they saw Du Zhongxiao and Xia Zhu and others coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and sang a promise.
The few people did not dismount, but went straight into the field service, and after walking a short distance, they came to a row of tall red brick houses.
Du Zhongxiao said: "Xianggong, this is the iron yamen." There are two hands in charge of the camp and field affairs here, and several people in charge are recruited from the private sector. All the farm tools are made here, not only blacksmiths, but also carpenters and many other craftsmen. ”
Xia Zhu nodded, dismounted with him Du Zhongxiao, and walked towards the yamen.
When he went to the official hall and sat down, the officials brought tea and stood aside.
After using the tea, Xia Zhu said: "What farm tools are made here, you can take me to watch." ”
Du Zhongxiao hurriedly got up and said, "Back to Xianggong, there is a special room here with all kinds of farm tools. ”
According to the habits of his previous life, Du Zhongxiao has a special exhibition hall in this field to display a variety of standard agricultural tools. Many merchants from other places were shocked by the exhibition hall, which is also the reason why a large number of farm tools for field work are exported.
Out of the main hall, I came to a tall brick house next to it. As soon as he entered the room, Xia Zhu was shocked by the dazzling array of farm tools.
Only start from ploughing, all kinds of ploughs, some are specially used for land reclamation, some are specially turned over the soil, and some are cultivated and weeded, and they are neatly placed in an area. There is also a sign in front of each farm tool that indicates the name of the farm tool and what it is used for.
Xia Zhu looked along the road set aside, and only felt that his heart was shocked, it was the first time he had seen such a scene. After looking at a few farm tools, he turned to Du Zhongxiao who was following him and said, "You record all the words on the sign in front of each farm tool here, and give it to me when the time comes." ”
Du Zhongxiao didn't know why, and asked, "What's the use of Xianggong asking for these?" ”
Xia Zhu sighed: "Your pieces of brands are combined into a collection of books, isn't it just a book of "The Book of Enlightenment"? A few days ago, I saw that your field work is organized, the classification is clear, and the description is clear, so I thought it was rare, but I didn't expect that even the field work of making farm tools here is so clear and clear. Du Zhixian, judging from the camp and field affairs, you are very organized, and you will be an important minister of the court in the future! ”
Du Zhongxiao thanked him, and he didn't know if what Xia Zhu said was sincere, so he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart. Xia Zhu saw people very accurately, when Pang Ji was still a petty official under him, he was seriously ill, and he thought that he would die soon, so Xia Zhu categorically knew that he had the tools to kill and assist.
Along the way, Xia Zhu not only saw how complete and rich the agricultural tools made here were, but also understood the farming methods of the field through these agricultural tools. From cultivation to harvesting, there are standard farm tools, and everything is available here.
After reading it all the way, Xia Zhu sighed: "Youzhi County's camp and field affairs are consistent, and there are complete farm tools here, as long as you use people properly, you can set up another camp in another place at any time." Du Zhixian does things clearly, and there is no selfishness, everything is bright and fair, very good! ”
Du Zhongxiao thanked him, and he didn't know how to answer Xia Zhu's words. Since Xia Zhu came to Ren Zhizhou, Du Zhongxiao didn't know how to handle the relationship with him, especially when he sent Chang Wei to inspect the autumn grain, and the relationship between the two was almost untidy. Fortunately, Xia Zhu had a clear mind, and when Du Zhongxiao found the state city, he categorically killed Chang Wei's staff.
This time, Xia Zhu came to Yongcheng County, without the slightest concealment, and came to Chadu to govern in the middle of the night. As a result, looking at it all the way, Du Zhongxiao not only did not treat the people harshly, but also really did practical things, and the local people did not know how much benefit they had. Seeing it with his own eyes, Xia Zhu's impression of Du Zhongxiao changed greatly, and gradually thought that this was a rare talent.
This is Xia Zhu's strength, he is not a templated villain in the play, he only thinks about harming people. He is an official, although he has many problems, but he really does things for the people and the court. Although he does not plant party henchmen, it is rare for officials to enter his eyes, but real talents are also stingy with promotion. It is precisely because of these strengths that Xia Zhu has been able to rise steadily in officialdom and reach today's status.
