On the day when the Beiyang Iron Stable Factory was built, the huge flywheel was running from slow to fast, and the crankshaft would make a 'snort' sound every time it turned, and then the whole plant started with a roar like other factories with towering chimneys.

But almost nothing was produced in the iron stables that day, only more than 800 steel spokes sent by the iron works were processed, and more than 6,000 small steel pieces were cut.

The nine machines adapted to the iron stables were not precise and needed to be reworked.

But they have a new, large pipe press and no longer have to use a gun tube to make the frame.

Truckloads of chain parts were brought from Nanyang, and the hand-made parts were selected by the craftsmen of Nanyang before they arrived, and then loaded onto ships and drifted across the sea. Under the Beiyang steam-powered frustration bed, the most skilled craftsmen rely on manual secondary processing and drilling to make suitable precision parts.

All the parts that make up the iron horse can be assembled quickly, but the iron stable is not assembled, only the qualified parts are soaked in oil seals...... All the problems of the arsenal can be overcome under the great power of people, but the shortage of raw materials is insurmountable to them.

They have everything, and when there are not enough parts, they will send the task to the coastal areas of the provinces from Nanyang to Beiyang, and those military craftsmen who have nothing to do can also rely on making parts to supplement their income, not to mention a simple frame, Beiyang can complete it himself.

But they don't have rubber, and the yield of eucommia planted by Bai Yuanjie in Qingyuan in the early years is very small after all, and it can't be used up no matter how it is used in the past, because this thing is really not very useful, but now the vulcanization process is sent back to China from Great Eastern Asia, and there is a huge gap in rubber.

Artillery wants to be used, steam engines are also used, and even businessmen who make shoes want to use it, and civilian iron horses in Beiyang can't grab meat to eat.

So they need to plant more rubber trees.

Usually making a tool is to make another thing, and only when the tool is accumulated into a system, can the accuracy of one of the original tools be improved, and progress can be completed in the form of spiraling.

For example, the Guan's drilling machine was born to drill the pipe, as long as it is better than the hand drill, the drilling machine will be finalized, as long as the productivity does not change, even if a new drilling machine is made.

But once productivity changes, it brings a straight rise.

The manpower drilling machine is not hydraulic, and the duration is extremely long and the speed is faster; It becomes firepower, the speed is faster, and the drill bit in the past will not work, and then it will enter the next technological system spiral, which brings a leap in productivity.

Changes in the productive forces will cause a large number of unemployed producers in the original production system, and the state will be powerful, able to restrain the people, and can maintain stability to the greatest extent, but the social turmoil brought about will not be avoidable, and the market must be expanded.

On the one hand, it can release pressure, and on the other hand, it can also stabilize domestic prices, so that the prices of raw products will fall steadily instead of straight lines.

This was easily achieved in ancient China, where the imperial court was Tian Shelang, and the official selection system of the Tianzitang was unparalleled in the world, and they were promoted by the common people through the imperial examinations, and the humanistic traditions passed down for thousands of years determined that they had to ask for the lives of the people, not simply tax officials.

However, the fact that the emperor in the Forbidden City did something had nothing to do with it.

At the end of March, Ye Mengxiong sent a handbook on the development of iron horses and a variety of rubber trees in the south to the cabinet, and the cabinet and the celebrant jointly approved it, and the emperor's edict was sent to Beiyang within a few days.

The emperor allocated 30,000 taels of silver to Beiyang to study iron horses.

It seems that spending money can make the emperor feel happy, and he sent it out of the Forbidden City with this edict, and ordered the great master of the six provinces to report to the imperial court the social education situation of the children of the people in the fifty-four counties who were exempted from this year's field tax.

The emperor's order was sent by telegram, and after only ten days of waiting, the situation was delivered to the Forbidden City by fast horses from all over the country, and everyone in the court asked the emperor to care less about these things and more about his studies. Unexpectedly, the emperor followed up and sent a summary report of his own to the tool man Zhang Whale to the cabinet.

Fifty-four counties and 184 townships lacked social studies, and another 244 government-run primary schools were in flux, so they immediately submitted to the cabinet their dissatisfaction with the post of school administration, and proposed that the two capitals and 13 provincial school administrations bring the reports of the provincial and township social studies and official schools back to Beijing.

Strictly speaking, Xuezheng is directly appointed by the emperor, and this batch of Xuezheng is no exception, but the purpose of appointing them is largely that the emperor and Zhang Juzheng will dismantle the academy together.

The Ming Dynasty emancipated the mind too much, to the Longqing Wanli period, there is almost no place in the world that does not repair the academy, there is no place that does not teach, the listeners are like a blank piece of paper, but the lecturer is not so, the leaders of public opinion pay attention to learning and excellence, and secondly, they also enjoy this kind of support and recognition.

All kinds of ideas were understandable to the young emperor, but to Zhang Juzheng became the most dangerous weapon.

He Xinyin was arrested and killed under the chaotic stick of Wang Zhiyuan, the governor of Huguang, and the imperial court ordered the destruction of 64 academies, prohibiting wanton empty talk and money-collecting lectures that did not respect the orders of the government.

Empty talk and accumulation of wealth are certainly one thing, but more important is the attack on Zhang Juzheng.

But for the emperor in the Forbidden City, the realization of personal value is the most important thing.

For example: catch up with King Lu.

"Zhu Yiyi, where are you going! Come back and read to me! ”

In the Forbidden City, King Lu spread his girl and ran in front, his little boots flew away, and he squeaked and screamed as he ran.

The powerful Huo De Xingjun chased after him with smoke from his mouth and nose, and the emperor behind him held the book, and slapped Huo De Xingjun's head with anger while chasing: "Change and change, change you so many times that you can't even catch up with a twelve-year-old child, what use do you want?" I see that you also want to go to prison to be a companion of humility, so chase me quickly! ”

Even though Huo De Xingjun's skull was struck by Emperor Wanli, his power was so great, he walked faster than King Xiaolu, but this kid spread his feet and ran so much that his soap boots flew, which made Huo De Xingjun chase after him.

In the end, the angry Emperor Wanli had no choice but to shout: "Zhu Yiyi, if you run away for me again, I won't believe that you are not tired!" ”

Don't really say it, the child doesn't know how tired he is when he runs, and for a while and a half King Lu's calves are flying upside down, seeing that he is about to run up the stone steps of the Qianqing Gate, suddenly his eyes flashed a tall figure, and he lifted the collar of Queen Lu's neck and slipped up, and the calf was still falling down, and the little hand waved his arm fast: "Fly, this king is flying......"

Immediately after, King Lu stopped talking, because he heard the deflated voice of Huo De Xingjun behind him, and the imperial brother Wanli greeted him with a little trembling: "Old, teacher, why are you here?" ”
