Take it back?

What's the matter, Lao Wang?

"What does Wang Qing mean?" Zhu Youjian asked doubtfully, frowning.

"Your Majesty ordered the shipyard to make all efforts to manufacture steamships. What if the minister's steel is developed?"

"What? You built the steel ship?" Zhu Youjian said in surprise.

"No."

......

Nothing you said.

"Although the existing steam ships have many advantages, their shortcomings are also obvious. The structure of the paddle wheel is heavy and complicated, and the effect of the wind and waves is poor. Once the ship encounters a strong wind and waves, it will swing left and right like a duck. The wheel is easily damaged when it spins and rolls in wind and waves.

In addition, existing steam ships are of wooden structure, which limits the volume of the ship to a certain extent.

I have figured out the structure of the propeller that His Majesty mentioned, and in time, I will be able to build a bigger, stronger, and faster steel steamship!

Therefore, it is not advisable to build more ships now!Your Majesty, please take it back. "

"how long?"

"If the silver taels are sufficient, it is expected to be three years."

Eh?

Zhu Youjian came back to his senses.

"Is it enough now?"

"Insufficient."

"So you're here to ask me for money?"

"you can say it this way."

"Then you can just say it straight, why make such a big detour?"

"I've spent a lot these days, and I'm a little..."

A few days ago, Wang Zheng did the calculations, he didn't know that he didn't know, and he was shocked when he did the calculation.The total cost of these days is over one million taels.And the steel ship didn't even have a shadow, he was a little worried that Zhu Youjian would blame him.

"Haha~ Don't worry, Wang Qing. Just put your heart in your stomach, and if you have no money, just make an application to me. No matter how much money you spend, we have to build the ship. As for the shipbuilding, I have already laid down the order." The order is given, the ship should be built, and you should study it, the two should not conflict. I have plenty of money!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Zheng was very touched that Zhu Youjian could give him such great support.

Zhu Youjian looked at the gray-haired Wang Zhen, feeling a little distressed.

"Wang Qing, I have told you many times to put your body first. We have been ahead of the world in building steamships for many years, so you can't tire yourself out."

"I don't feel tired, I just want to build a steel ship in my lifetime."

"Steam steamship is by no means your final goal. There is also a machine that is smaller and more powerful than a steam engine. A machine as big as two or three feet can explode with extremely powerful force, dragging two to three thousand catties The things that travel thousands of miles a day. Don't you want to see and see?"

Zhu Youjian didn't know how to express the benefits of the internal combustion engine to him, so he could only use the cars of later generations as an example.

"What Your Majesty said is true?" Wang Zheng's breathing became heavy.

"Could I lie?"

"Where is this kind of machine? Can you open my eyes!?"

"It hasn't been made yet!"

...

"But I have blueprints. When you build the steel ship, I will give you the blueprints."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Zheng felt that his dream had been raised to another level. Building steel ships was no longer his lifelong pursuit.

"By the way, I found that the current carriages are still mainly two-wheeled. Take a look at this drawing and see if you can make it in your spare time." Zhu Youjian handed him a set of four-wheel steering shaft structure picture.

It's not that there are no carriages now, it's just that the steering is difficult, and it must be driven on a smooth road.

Wang Zheng took it over and looked at it, saying that there was no problem.

As long as there are suitable materials, this kind of thing is not difficult for him, and even his apprentices can complete it independently.

"How many apprentices do you have now?"

"Four, two are going to Nanjing, and two are by my side."

"Charge a few more."

Wang Zheng nodded.

Before, the four apprentices were all around, and there were still people to help when doing research, but now two of them have gone to Nanjing, and there are not enough people.

With the vigor with which Wang Zheng worked, Zhu Youjian was really afraid that he would collapse from exhaustion one day.

Wang Zheng was upright, and Li Zicheng asked him to be an official after he captured the capital, but he was unwilling, so he drew the envoy's knife to commit suicide, and scratched the envoy's hand while pulling.The envoy wanted to kill him, but his son Wang Yongchun begged bitterly, willing to take Li Zicheng's life on behalf of his father.The messenger let Wang Zheng go.Wang Zheng said to his son:

"My son dies on my behalf, dies filial piety; I kill myself, dies loyal. Although I have to regret it, my son is willing to die loyal and filial, as sweet as sweets!"

After that, he went on a hunger strike for seven days and died. After his death, his wife Shen Shi also went on a hunger strike and went with him.

With his appearance in this life, at least he will not be allowed to go on a hunger strike to commit suicide again. Zhu Youjian hopes that he will bring more apprentices out, on the one hand to increase the talent pool.On the other hand, it also allows him to work less.

Wang Zheng stayed in the capital for one night, and left the capital by train the next day.Both his wives are in Tianjin. For him, there is really nothing to miss about the current capital except for an emperor.

As soon as he returned to Tianjin, he called his two apprentices: Lu Tingli and Li Fanghui.

"Here is a blueprint. Within ten days, make the above thing. Whoever makes it first will be rewarded as a teacher!"

The two were very curious after hearing this.Reaching out to take the blueprint in the master's hand, he took a rough look and found it not difficult.Lu Tingli smiled and asked Wang Zhengdao:

"Master? What reward? Did His Majesty give you something good again?"

"Don't ask, go back and build it! Remember! Whoever builds it first will be rewarded!"

After the two left, Shen Shi, Wang Zheng's first wife, asked curiously:

"Sanggong, you are so mysterious, what do you want to reward them for?"

"Go to Liaoning!"

"what?"

"That's the structure diagram of the four-wheeled carriage given by His Majesty. It can be used for transportation back and forth at the Liaoning Steel Factory. Whoever can do it will let him go to the steel factory to assist in the production of the four-wheeled carriage."

"Xianggong is really... I thought it was a great thing."

"Why is it not a good thing? It's not good to do things for His Majesty? The other one has to go too, but it's just going to Shijingshan Steel Factory."

"Then there is no help around you?"

"Xu Zhan and Ji Cai are coming back soon, and I plan to take in a few more apprentices. Your Majesty said that you can't cherish yourself with a broom."

Shen Shi nodded and said nothing, it's not easy for her to intervene in this matter.

"Is there any reliable and smarter family in your natal family? You can ask, if you want, come and follow me. In the future, let's not talk about prosperity, at least you won't have to worry about eating and drinking."

"I'll go back and inquire about it."

"Your Majesty gave some horses of lake silk, and you can make two clothes for yourself later."

A smile appeared on Shin's face.

Although it was not understood by everyone that her husband left the minister of the Ministry of Industry to go to the beach to do research, but she didn't think there was anything wrong.She could feel her Xianggong's love for the current life and his vision for the future.

The two apprentices devoted themselves to the manufacture of the four-wheel axle. Although Wang Zheng did not give instructions, the progress was smooth.

But the other person sent by Zhu Youjian did not go well.

Wu Youke Ambassador Wu.

After he set off from the capital, he went to Guangchang as the first stop, which is the closest to the capital.

When I arrived, I went straight to the local Huiming Pharmacy, but I searched for it for a long time.

did not find.

Go to the government to ask the county magistrate.

long gone.

It was gone in the early years of Wanli, and it has been gone for decades.

As for the Huimin Pharmacy, it actually existed as early as the Song Dynasty.From the literal point of view, it is known that this is a purely social welfare institution.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor family and knew the suffering of the people very well.As early as the third year of Hongwu, all prefectures, prefectures and counties were ordered to open Huimin pharmacies to treat sick poor people and military households free of charge.Since it is a welfare institution, two situations must be considered.One is a doctor, and the other is medicinal materials.

It turned out that both were missing.

The lack of people is because the working level in Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau is too low, and there is little room for advancement.Without a future, talent cannot be retained.Although the Tai Hospital occasionally selects outstanding talents to train in the local Huimin Pharmacy, but this exercise is worthless.

Coupled with the low social status of medical households, lack of food and clothing, they are the same as musicians, chefs, and class craftsmen, and they often escape from their households.This leads to fewer and fewer doctors.

The lack of medicinal materials was because Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated at that time that the source of medicinal materials was the tax in kind of the places where the medicinal materials were produced.

In addition, there is no charge for seeing a doctor, so there is no money.

No one has no money or medicine.

Shennong reborn can only stare blankly.

Wu Youke was staring blankly.He really wanted to ask the county magistrate what to do, but he knew it was useless to ask.

So after thinking about it, he asked the county magistrate if he could gather the people in the city so that he could spread the knowledge of plague prevention.

The county magistrate agreed with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

This Beijing official really has nothing to do, he came all the way from the capital to teach the common people to catch mice.

Isn't that a cat's job?
