Platform.

The staff officers briefed them on the situation outside the gates.

Yang Gengai took several ministers to watch.

I watched it for a while.

"In other words, now, Dong Yu and Lin Dan Khan are fighting hard?" Yang Gai asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, now on the grassland, you are fighting hard." The staff officer agreed, affirmatively.

"The grass grows and the horse is fat, the most cruel thing......" Yang Gengai sighed.

“…… Yes, Your Majesty......" the staff officer replied affirmatively.

"Well, you explained it very well...... what's your name? Where are the people? Yang gave a compliment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The ...... immediately agreed in ecstasy to introduce his origins.

Yang Reform listened carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, do it well, don't let me down......" Yang Reform encouraged again.

"Yes, Your Majesty......" The staff officer immediately thanked him in ecstasy, as if he had won the emperor's favor......

After this staff officer explained, he also went out, and there were only a few ministers left.

"It seems that this Lin Dan Khan doesn't want to be arrested!" There were only a few ministers left here, and Yang Reform began to discuss things.

"Back to Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, this Lin Dan Khan is determined to fight to the death with Dongyu Huangtaiji, there was originally a blood feud between the two families, and now it is a new feud adding to the old hatred, which can be described as adding fuel to the fire, and it is natural that the fight is inextricable...... Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Well, really?" Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, Donglu has been pinned down by our dynasty with a lot of troops, and he does not dare to deal with Lin Dan Khan with all his strength, and he always has to allocate a lot of troops to guard against our dynasty, if Lin Dan Khan does not take this opportunity to fight to the death, I am afraid that he will not even have the courage to meet Donglu in the future......" Yuan Chonghuan continued. Now there is a good show on this grassland, Dongyu Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan can be described as a bloody battle, the two sides are fighting to the death, and there is a posture to see who falls to the ground first. The Ming Dynasty sat on the wall and watched the two fights. Therefore, a good show is being staged on the grassland.

"This is a good point, that Lin Dan Khan met Dongyu Huang Taiji, it is indeed like a mouse seeing a cat, if you don't take the opportunity to show your toughness this time, I'm afraid that in the future, you really won't even have the courage to stand in front of Dongyu......" Yang Reform affirmed this, Lin Dan Khan's life is a kitchen, and all kinds of tragic tableware emerge in endlessly.

“…… Your Majesty, according to the situation that has been reported back now, it is still Lin Dan Khan who has lost a lot and lost a lot! Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this Lin Dan Khan won't be able to last long, Your Majesty, do I want to make a move...... Bi Ziyan thought about it and said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, do you want me to send more troops to contain it, according to this situation, I am afraid that Lin Dan Khan will not be able to hold out for long......" Yuan Chonghuan also said, the current situation on the grassland is that Lin Dan Khan has suffered a large loss, while Dongyu has suffered a small loss, occupying a considerable advantage. Yuan Chonghuan and Bi Ziyan were both anxious for Lin Dan Khan, not really worried about Lin Dan Khan, but afraid that Lin Dan Khan would suddenly collapse, and the Ming Dynasty would be caught off guard, so they gave Dongyu a chance to recuperate in vain.

"No, Lin Dan Khan's potential has not yet been tapped, and he will not collapse so soon......" Yang Reform thought for a long time before making this judgment. If it was before, Yang Reform would never have made a judgment for so long, and Yang Reform could easily "judge" their future results according to history, but now, history has changed, and it can no longer rely on history, and more, it needs to rely on its own vision and ability, and it needs to rely on the actual situation to analyze.

“…… Your Majesty......" Yuan Chonghuan asked with some puzzlement, now this situation, it is obvious that Lin Danhan is very dangerous. …,

"Don't worry, Lin Dan Khan will never collapse......" Yang Reform thought about it for a moment and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, why is this ......" Yuan Chonghuan asked puzzled, not only Yuan Chonghuan was suspicious, but even Bi Ziyan, Han Yi, and Shi Fenglai also felt strange.

“…… Well, it's simple, I think, this Lin Dan Khan, it seems to be very tough, known for being tough, but in fact, if he really encounters an irreversible situation, he will never die in battle, and he will never wipe himself out, I guess he will definitely run away......" Yang Gai said. Although history has deviated from the original track, Yang Gai feels that this person's heart and character will not change in a while and a half, Lin Dan Khan heard in history that Huang Taiji came to fight him with a large army, and he ran away, so now he can't beat him, and he still runs away, and there should be no accidents.

“…… But, Your Majesty, in case ......," Yuan Chonghuan said worriedly.

"What in case? It doesn't matter, rest assured, Lin Dan Khan loves his life and surpasses his territory and subordinates, not to mention, isn't there still a few people fighting in the Western Regions? It is more likely that Lin Dan Khan will run west, but there is someone over there who will answer him, have you forgotten? The dispute between the Red and Yellow Sects outside the wall here is very powerful......" Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty is reasonable...... Several people heard it, and they all felt that it was true, that is to say, the danger level of Lin Dan Khan now is not particularly powerful, and he is worrying about it.

“…… In addition to Lin Dan Khan's side, let's talk about the situation on the Dongyu side, the situation on the Dongyu side, you are not unclear, according to the statistics of our dynasty, the Dongyu have been large-scale soldiers in recent years, and their stamina has already been consumed, and their production almost all depends on the old and weak women and children, and this situation has lasted for at least two years, right? In fact, Dongyu has almost reached the point where the lamp is running out of oil and is about to collapse, and if there is no difference, it will only fall apart immediately......" Yang Gai said.

“…… According to His Majesty's words, now, there is no need to interfere too much in this battle on the grassland, just let them fight? Shi Fenglai asked.

"Yes and no, this still depends on the specific situation, now, I only need to be fully prepared, just maintain pressure on these two parties, but I don't need to get too involved, of course, I must also be prepared to sweep the past with a situation of ten thousand pounds in the event of an accident, and I can't let Donglu get a chance to cultivate, even if it is inconvenient to fight in winter......," Yang Gai said. In fact, according to the conclusions drawn by the analysis and conclusion of the staff officers, most of the two sides fought because they could not survive until they fought, and grain and fodder were a direct cause, and the conclusion of the analysis was that the grain and grain and grass reserves of these two sides, especially the Dongyu, were almost none, and the Dongyu fought with troops on a large scale every year, and almost all of them relied on women, children, the old and weak, and even more because the whole clan migrated, and the territory shrank sharply, and so on, I'm afraid there is no way out. If it is winter, the snow will cover the mountains, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to prepare the grain and grass needed to go out and rob the reserves.

"But, Your Majesty, if it is according to this statement, then Dongyu should be more united to fight Lin Dan Khan, because only by beating Lin Dan Khan can there be food! Doesn't this mean that Lin Dan Khan is even more dangerous......" Yuan Chonghuan asked puzzled.

"So to speak, don't forget the Qing family, who forced Dongyu to this role, I am staring at the sidelines, can Dongyu go to war with peace of mind? Although it was a concerted effort to fight Lin Dan Khan to grab food, it was indispensable, and he also scored half of his heart to defend against the attack of our dynasty, this kind of day, for Dongyu, it was very uncomfortable...... "Yang Reform explained. …,

“…… But, Your Majesty, that Lin Dan Khan ......" Yuan Chonghuan was still puzzled.

“…… Is this hard to understand? Didn't I just hope that Dongyu would sweep Lin Dan Khan away? If you don't sweep Lin Dan Khan clean, how can you get your hands on the territory on this grassland? If you don't drive them all to the west, how can you free up your hands to clean up the tigers lying on the couch in the west? Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty ......is right, Your Majesty, your Majesty, the minister understands." Speaking of which, Yuan Chonghuan finally figured it out.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister also understands, this Lin Dan Khan doesn't need me to save it......" Bi Ziyan also understood, and the worries caused by the tense situation on the grassland just now were eliminated.

"Yes, our dynasty can only give Lin Dan Khan support, can help him contain the troops, but will never really save him, allowing the East to kill Lin Dan Khan has always been my hope......," Yang reformed explained.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands......" Yuan Chonghuan said, originally Yuan Chonghuan saw the crisis of Lin Dan Khan's situation, wanted to give some pressure to Dongyu, wanted to give Lin Dan Khan some more help, so that the two fought more powerfully, and was still thinking about whether to send troops to beat Dongyu, so that the strength of the two could be balanced, now, I don't think it is necessary, they can fight how they like, Lin Dan Khan can hold on better, can fight more intensely, if he can't hold on, he will run away, the Ming Dynasty can just take advantage of the situation to clean up Dongyu, Occupy those territories. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight turned into a fisherman's profit.

"It's good to understand, but there is still support that should be there, and what should be contained still needs to be contained, and some of the more scarce materials can still be given to Lin Dan Khan, this favor, I still don't want to lose it......," Yang Reform added. Yang Reform has always coveted Lin Dan Khan's imperial system, and wants to get Lin Dan Khan's imperial system in his hands, and he is indeed a little tied to things, if he doesn't care about Lin Dan Khan's imperial system, Yang Reform is afraid that he will not have so much energy and mood to engage in these means.

After dealing with today's matter, Yang Gai is even more suspicious, is he too soft on this matter, or is he thinking wrongly? Perhaps, I should make a fierce move, I shouldn't be so hes......itant, and I still want to get other people's seals, and make other people's imperial ......, maybe it is really whimsical...... but the thing of imperial unification is the ...... that Yang Reform covets, this weight is really not light, Yang Reform really can't let go of his hands, and he can't let go of his hands......

Tangled, Yang Reform has not experienced the feeling for a long time, and now, once again this has a deep experience.

After dealing with today's affairs, Yang Reform prepared to disperse the platform and go back to rest.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear about, and I want to ask Your Majesty to explain ......" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly asked.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, it's about Liu Tingyuan, the former secretary of the Ministry of War......" Yuan Chonghuan is indeed a flurry temper, and he still can't hold back in his heart, so he still asks what he wants to ask.

"Oh, what do you want to ask first?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive your recklessness, Your Majesty, now it is rumored outside that Your Majesty demoted Lord Liu to Daliuqiu as an inspector in order to prevent Zheng Zhilong......" Yuan Chonghuan asked this question that should not be asked, this temper, it is estimated that the entire court is the only one. If it weren't for Yang Reform as the emperor and knowing his past and dealings, I am afraid that it would be impossible to tolerate him.

Yang Reform listened, his brows furrowed, this Yuan Chonghuan's personality is really ......, Yang Reform is relatively speechless, this really shouldn't be used to ask yourself, you can guess in private, but ask ......yourself directly, Yang Reform is not entangled.

"This ......" Yang reformed that entanglement, I don't know how to say this, is it to guard against Zheng Zhilong, isn't this provoking the relationship between himself and Zheng Zhilong? Didn't you say it was to guard against him? Then I have to find a better excuse. Yang Reform is entangled, and now Zheng Zhilong is like a kite in the sky, pulling it by the thread in his hand, if this kind of words come out from the imperial court, I am afraid that this thread may be broken. …,

“…… No, I didn't want to guard against Zheng Zhilong, I trusted Zheng Zhilong, if I said that in order to prevent him, I demoted a military secretary to Daliuqiu, which doesn't make sense...... "Yang Reform was depressed and entangled, and this matter was actually asked by Protoworm Huang on the spot......

Yang Reform thought about it, maybe it's a good thing to ask, he sent Liu Tingyuan to Da Liuqiu, if he said that there was no intention to guard against Zheng Zhilong, then it was not true, this point, Yang Reform said no, in fact, he must admit it, whether he wanted it or not, this is the fact, the rise of Liu Tingyuan will gradually weaken Zheng Zhilong's influence on the sea. It is of great significance for him to control the sea.

Han Yi listened to Yuan Chonghuan ask this question, he was anxious in his heart, thinking that his student's temper was too good, this Yuan Lengzi was indeed not called in vain, Han Yi sighed, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for his student......

……

The meeting was dismissed.

Yang Reform is still entangled, this matter, it seems to be much more serious than he imagined, although he had some intention of guarding against Zheng Zhilong, but in fact, Yang Reform has a greater meaning, is to prepare for the South Seas, Yang Reform's original idea is to use the naval division to deal with the enemy's navy, to deal with the established sea forces, especially the foreigners who are specially designed for combat water forces, to really occupy the territory, and the local original regime to fight, and the local natives, it is necessary to rely on this inspection department, the two are separated, It is to avoid the distraction of the energy of the main battle naval division, according to Yang Gaiai, the West already has quite a lot of warships and ships in India, and the struggle with the West in the South Sea and even the Indian Ocean must be very fierce, and it is impossible to spare energy to deal with the natives and the original regime on the shore, and it is impossible to rely on the strength of the main battle naval division to control and manage such a large territory in the South Seas, and there may be Australia in the future, and there will also be North and South America. The main combat force of the navy must be exhausted.

In the Great Ryukyu, Liu Tingyuan was asked to do this inspection, which was to prepare for future expansion, to accumulate experience in dealing with local natives, and the positioning of the inspection, in fact, was mainly on land, and the size of the fleet was at most a local fleet.

After the meeting was dismissed, Yang Reform has been struggling, this matter, can't just let him ferment, he should take some measures, otherwise, let the rumors ferment, this Zheng Zhilong can't be suspicious? Still scared to death? I'm afraid that there will be a lot of mustard in the future, and the impact of this is really a bit big.

After thinking about it again and again, Yang Gai asked: "Big companion, Zheng Zhilong's son, has it been my master?" When I arrived, I will take it to Beijing, I will teach by my side, I have told Zheng Zhilong before, I have been busy these days, but I forgot to ask......" Yang Reform suddenly remembered that Zheng Zhilong's son seemed to be coming back for himself, and he had the playfulness of cultivating a national hero at that time, but he didn't expect that now it has helped a lot, and the relationship between himself and Zheng Zhilong, this Zheng Chenggong, is a lubricant.

"Your Majesty, the slave is going to ask ......" Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed, he has been busy with his affairs, but he really forgot about it, he originally thought it was just a joke from the emperor, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Hmm......" Yang said. But I was thinking about other things in my heart, cultivating Zheng Chenggong, this is just a "game", how to deal with the relationship between Zheng Zhilong and Liu Tingyuan, how to deal with the relationship between myself and Zheng Zhilong, I still have to think of other ways.

Perhaps, it is time to reclassify the functions and tasks of the naval forces, and it is time to clarify the relationship between the main battle naval division and the naval division inspection.

Thinking about it, I think it may be inappropriate, the matter of expansion has not yet been completely finalized, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have not yet tasted the sweetness of expansion, so it is not ripe to throw this thing out now. …,

……

Scattered platform.

Han Yi couldn't help but teach his students a lesson.

"Freely, if you ask Your Majesty like this today, you shouldn't ......" Han Yi said with a solemn face.

"The lesson of the elder is that the student is wrong, he shouldn't ask so directly, but the student really can't hide it in his heart...... "Yuan Chonghuan is a Lengren, this temper is a Leng, if he can learn to be smooth, then he is not the Yuan Chonghuan." His own teacher taught himself, he could only stand there and admit his mistakes, he asked yes, but he also knew that he shouldn't ask, he didn't ask the right question.

"Do you know that your question has stiffened the relationship between Your Majesty and the pirate leader, if there is no effective means to maneuver, I am afraid that there will be many troubles in the future, that Great Ryukyu is lonely overseas, completely relying on the sailor to ensure safety, although there are millions of immigrants in that place now, but it is also the lair of the pirate leader, if this incident causes the pirate leader and His Majesty to turn against each other, freely, you are a great sin, you know? His Majesty worked so hard to lay down the bureau, and finally let Liu Tingyuan go there to do the inspection, just to suppress this person with this special identity in the past, if you ask this question, this relationship will be stiff......, alas, you shouldn't ask, you shouldn't ask! Han Yi kept teaching Yuan Chonghuan a lesson.

Yuan Chonghuan lowered his head and blushed, and he was so taught by Han Yi that he didn't dare to fight back.

"The lesson of the elder is that the student knows his mistake and will not make this mistake in the future......" Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help admitting his mistake.

"Alas, freely! Your temper is really cold, how can you get it if you go on like this? If you don't change, sooner or later it will be a big deal, and now Your Majesty is magnanimous and can tolerate your temper......" Han Yi sighed, the relationship between him and Yuan Chonghuan is a relationship that cannot be clean, the relationship between this teacher and the student must be basically a lifelong thing, although they can support and take care of each other on weekdays, but if something happens, implication is indispensable.

"The student knows that he is wrong,...... No wonder when Liu Tingyuan was promoted to the official position before, all the pavilion elders and others did not object, the students are really stupid, and they should not doubt His Majesty's ......" Yuan Chonghuan lowered his head and admitted his mistake in front of Han Yi. He also thought that Han Yi and others did not speak out, because of the factors of the imperial party, and because they were afraid of the emperor's power, although he was also an "imperial party", but he felt that he had to be responsible for the imperial court, and when the emperor and the imperial court were wrong, he had to stand up and correct it, and he couldn't blindly "fight with the party", for this speculation that was circulating, he had been unable to eat well and couldn't sleep, if it was really to guard against the pirate leader, he would definitely support the emperor and support Liu Tingyuan's promotion, if the emperor was just for a game, A joke will give Liu Tingyuan a promotion, he must admonish, this matter, there are different opinions, his heart, seven up and eight down, is like a cat's paw scratching, although reason told him that this should be the emperor's means to control Zheng Zhilong, but he is still not sure, this temper attack, the emperor must be personally affirmed, he is not at ease. really waited for him to ask, his temper quickly subsided, and he knew that he had made a big mistake.

"Alas, freely! You still need to hone a little more! You were promoted too fast, some things that you had to go through that you didn't experience, and suddenly reached the high position of the secretary of the military department, this pavilion originally thought that this was a good thing, but now I look at it, it is indeed pulling out the seedlings and helping you, and it hurts you......" Han Yi sighed and said. Originally, when the emperor planned to promote Yuan Chonghuan's official, he also thought about this problem, but after all, he still couldn't resist the temptation, and still agreed to let Yuan Chonghuan be promoted to the secretary of the military department. …,

"The lesson of the elder is that the students have been taught...... Yuan Chonghuan has had a temper attack, and his heart is much more sober, and after listening to Han Yi's lesson, he also blames himself very much.

"Forget it, this matter has happened, it just depends on what remedial means Your Majesty has, a pirate leader, even if it is more important, but it is not enough to jump out of Your Majesty's palm, I believe Your Majesty will naturally have a way,...... Speaking of which, this matter is made public, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it is a good thing for Liu Tingyuan, in the future, His Majesty wants to promote him again, I am afraid that no one will stop him, I am afraid that he will be eager to be promoted...... Han Yi said again. Han Yi now has only one word to describe his mood, that is: misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune are lurking. Liu Tingyuan can be regarded as turning from a disaster to a blessing, but he seems to have changed from a blessing to a disaster.

"The old man has to teach ......" Yuan Chonghuan could only keep admitting his mistakes.

……

Following.

Yang Reform is still thinking about this. In the end, whether to clarify the duties and functions of the navy, and thinking that the timing may not be right, continue to struggle.

Zheng Chenggong has returned to China from Japan, but after all, he is a child, and he has crossed the ocean in this era, which is indeed a very dangerous thing.

Yang Reform believes in this statement, and does not blame the people below too much for their incompetence, nor does he blame the Zheng family for being greasy, the danger of crossing the ocean in this era, Yang Reform can imagine without personal experience, and then trek thousands of miles to the capital, the threat to children is even greater. Yang Reform is not a person who will do anything to achieve his goals, Yang Reform chose to let Zheng Chenggong continue to cultivate, and there is no need to rush into Beijing.

Seeing that the emperor was a little sullen, Wang Chengen lowered his voice several degrees.

"Your Majesty, Sun Yuanhua asks to see you." Wang Chengen said.

"Oh, Sun Yuanhua has arrived? Let him in. Yang reformed his mood and brain and said.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed.

After a while, Sun Yuanhua arrived.

It's still so black, it's no different from splashing soy sauce.

"Your Majesty......" Sun Yuanhua said.

"Get up......" Yang Reform said, looking at Sun Yuanhua of this spirit, Yang Reform's mood was much better.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Yuanhua thanked him.

"The Qing family came to see me today, but is there anything wrong?" Yang Reform asked, Generally speaking, when Sun Yuanhua comes to see him, there must be something, and Sun Yuanhua will not come if he has nothing to do.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does have something, and it is still a happy event," Sun Yuanhua said with joy......

"Oh, what a happy event? Come and hear it......" Yang Reform's tangled and depressed mood was immediately swept away, and he hurriedly asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has already figured out how to carve threads on silver...... and the wires carved on silver can already be closed together with the screw caps relatively well," Sun Yuanhua said with pride......

"Oh, solved the silver screw?" Yang Reform was curious, Yang Reform had paid attention to the screw matter before, and remembered that Sun Yuanhua had just figured out the thread technology of wood, but he didn't expect to get the thread technology of silver so quickly. Doesn't that mean that the next step should be the threading technology of steel? This one is really worth looking forward to.

"Your Majesty, yes, now you can carve threads into the silver, and you can screw them together......," Sun Yuanhua agreed.

"Is there a finished product?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, the minister has already brought ......" Sun Yuanhua immediately said, according to his assumption, carpentry can easily make wood into a variety of shapes, can be cut at will, which shows that his theory is correct, but he is only a means of cutting steel, he needs to get closer to this impossible thing step by step, and from wood to steel, the middle is a relatively soft metal such as silver, I believe that after completing the cutting of things like silver, the next step should be steel. …,

Soon, Sun Yuanhua's sample was taken.

Sun Yuanhua's sample is a box, and in the box, there is a piece of white "silver", of course, if you look at it again, these silvers are all whole roots, and there seem to be threads on them.

Yang Gai was dazzled by this box of white flowers, and took one in his hand to see that it was indeed a white silver bar, with a thread on one end.

Yang Gengai carefully observed the thread, which was not very detailed and rough.

Yang Reform picked up a screw cap again, which was also silver, and Yang Reform screwed it up, although it was rougher, but I have to say that it could indeed be screwed in, and after it was tightened, it had the feeling of not moving at all.

Yang reformed and unscrewed again, and it can still be unscrewed.

Yang Reform nodded, this is indeed a lot of progress. Looking at this box of silver again, I sighed, only if I don't care about the cost, Sun Yuanhua can have the capital to take out so much silver to carry out experiments, otherwise, just these silver used for experiments can make Sun Yuanhua bankrupt, which is all hard currency!

"Yes, how did you solve this silk?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, this silk was carved in two ways, one was carved with a steel knife, and the other was squeezed out of steel...... Sun Yuanhua explained.

"Oh, squeezed out?" Yang Gai is more interested in this.

"Your Majesty, yes, it is extruded, the silver is soft, and the minister extrudes it with special steel, as long as there is enough force, you can easily squeeze out this silk thread, of course, you have to pour this steel with silk thread in advance to ......," Sun Yuanhua explained.

"Oh, this is a bit interesting, the Qing family said, it's like squeezing tofu, squeezing the silver like this?" Yang Gengai asked with some curiosity.

"Your Majesty, yes, it is squeezed out, and it is directly formed,...... Your Majesty, do you know how silversmiths process silver? Sun Yuanhua said affirmatively, and he was afraid that the emperor would not understand, so he explained again.

"I know something, it's just knock bang, and then it comes out......," Yang said.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, the silversmith makes silver, relying on beating, what is needed is force, the minister squeezes with special steel, as long as the strength is enough, press out this thread, it is effortless......" Sun Yuanhua said with a sense of accomplishment, the ancients said that cutting iron is like mud, he is now squeezing silver at will, and he already has the ability to cut iron like mud.

"Oh, is that so? This is interesting...... "Yang Gai picked up another silver rod and twisted it with the same nut, and actually tightened it......

After testing it here, Yang Gengai understood why Sun Yuanhua brought this box of silver rods to him to dazzle his eyes, it turned out that this was made in batches! No wonder.

Yang Gai tried a few more, and almost all of them could be tightened.

"In other words, the Qing family has mastered the ability to manufacture in batches?" Yang Gengai asked happily.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, the minister found that as long as the steel hook is hard, as long as there is enough strength, it is indeed quite ......simple to directly press soft things such as silver into the desired shape," Sun Yuanhua said.

"So, anything about the same as silver can be extruded?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, now silver is almost everything can be squeezed at will, but the minister is now also stopped at the silver, like harder, such as copper, the minister still feels a little difficult, the extruded steel is still not hard enough, often it will be deformed after a few squeezes, and then the strength is not big enough, even if the use of water power is so, according to the minister's estimate, if you want to squeeze steel, I am afraid that you need harder steel, you need more strength, you need more hydraulic facilities......" Sun Yuanhua said, he came today, is here to report the good news, but also to ask for help, the emperor in order to verify his ideas, can support him silver, let him use a lot of silver to do experiments, if there is no emperor's support, he can not verify his ideas, now, need a greater investment, he can only come to the emperor. …,

"Oh, what do you need my help with?" Yang Reform didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, more tenacious steel, the minister is constantly groping, as long as you persevere, there will always be a way, it is the problem of this strength, but it is a difficult problem, this needs more massive hydraulic power to drive this force, the greater the force required, the more water is needed, the more hydraulic facilities are needed, Your Majesty, the minister implores that a more huge hydraulic facility can be built on the side of Xishan, specifically for the study of this ......" Sun Yuanhua said.

"Oh, is it? How big does that need to be? Does the Qing family have any predictions? Yang Reform asked, for this kind of thing, Yang Reform has always been a strong support, naturally will not disappoint Sun Yuanhua, this step-by-step process Yang Reform can also understand, naturally not afraid of Sun Yuanhua to scold him.

"Back to Your Majesty, naturally the bigger the better, the more water the better, in this way, the greater the water power, Your Majesty, at this time, the manpower and animal power have been completely unusable, and you have to rely on water power completely......," Sun Yuanhua said.

"The bigger, the better...... yes, how much money does the Qing family plan to spend on repairs?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know ......," Sun Yuanhua said with his head down.

“…… The Qing family doesn't know? Yang asked incredulously.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't know, but for a while I can't accurately calculate how much silver money is needed, Your Majesty, now the minister is on the side of Xishan, using the traditional method to burn a small amount of cement, and then use these cement and steel to build hydraulic facilities, divert the water from the river to the cement factory, and then use these hydraulic power to produce more cement, so that the output can come up ......, if you use the previous method, the output of this cement can not come up anyway,...... This kind of factory that needs hydraulic power, this new way of building a factory, has never been, the minister does not know how to say ...... for a while, if you estimate a rough idea, the minister thinks, maybe hundreds of thousands, or even millions of silver coins are indispensable, so that you can build a sufficient water power, can squeeze steel into the steel thing, if you can build this, Your Majesty, I produce the firecracker, no longer need manpower to drill out little by little, you can directly use this kind of machinery to drill out, can greatly save labor and time ......, Not only the firecracker, but also the cannon, can be like this......" Sun Yuanhua said excitedly, thinking of the power of cutting steel with steel, Sun Yuanhua was so excited that he couldn't believe it.

Yang Gai was dumbfounded when he heard this, and invested millions of silver coins to build a hydraulic processing center, was Sun Yuanhua spoiled by himself? Or is it crazy? Isn't this too anachronistic?

"Are you sure you need this hydraulic facility?" Yang had to be sure again.

"Back to Your Majesty, now the difference is only in the matter of strength, Your Majesty, the ministers of those cutting and squeezing silver, copper, steel machines, are made of stainless steel, extremely heavy, not at all human and animal power can be driven, except for the use of water drive, the minister really can't think of a better way, this kind of water, need to pour down from a few feet high, with this huge force to drive the machine, otherwise, it is impossible to cut steel with steel,...... Your Majesty, if you want water to pour down from a place several zhang high, the amount of water must be large enough, and you may need to build a few miles, or more than ten miles of aqueducts, this construction project is quite huge, so, Your Majesty, the minister said, it is immeasurable...... Sun Yuanhua said excitedly.

Yang Reform sighed for a while, is this a super project of the Ming Dynasty? Absolutely, it is definitely a super hydraulic project of the Ming Dynasty, the use of water power has been in ancient China for a long time, and when I met the madman Sun Yuanhua, who is now bent on seeking greater power, and met myself, a mad emperor who was bent on industrialization, probably this super hydraulic center of the Ming Dynasty was about to be born. …,

“…… Your Majesty, this seems to be a bit crazy, but Your Majesty, this has to be said that this is also a huge opportunity! …… It can even be said that it can change a lot of things, Your Majesty, think about it, once this kind of hydraulic facility is built, if it can make good use of hydraulic power, if many steel products can be squeezed out directly under the extrusion of steel, then I don't know how much manual beating is saved, how many things are saved? Does Your Majesty know how many times a blacksmith needs to hammer a thing repeatedly? Your Majesty, if you have a huge amount of water power instead of manpower, you can directly beat it on the basis of the rudimentary model poured out of steel, and make it shape, then things can be manufactured in a steady stream, which is simply a chicken ...... that keeps laying eggs" said In the end, Sun Yuanhua blushed, gestured hard, and finally brought the chicken cart out to make a comparison. The whole face and neck were already red. I don't know if it's red or excited.

Flicker, this is definitely a flicker, Yang Reform quickly heard it, now your ability is still at the stage of silver, and there is still a long way to go before the cutting and squeezing of steel, so you will ask me to build such a super hydro center, I'm afraid it's better to do experiments for yourself.

However, Yang Reform is happy to be fooled, once this kind of super hydraulic center is built, in fact, to a certain extent, it can already replace part of the function of the steam engine, once completed, it will be a big step into "industrialization". Of course, this kind of hydraulic power has great limitations, for example, it can only be built in a place where there is water, for example, it cannot be installed on a train, which has great drawbacks.

But Yang Reform also saw business opportunities from this, and the huge, continuous force was already a great driving force. For example, drilling the barrel, these hydraulic power can be completely competent, can be mass-produced, continuous manufacturing, the use of tools to make tools, its accuracy and yield, and there will be a greater improvement, such as manufacturing some need to repeatedly hammer the utensils, must be able to make a significant reduction in cost, such as the use of huge hydraulic power to directly press the steel products of the blank, these are small workshops, ordinary human and animal power can not do.

Yang Reform thinks that this value!
