Chapter 276 The Emperor Invents the Calcium Carbide Lamp
Yining smiled and said,
"That's very simple. There are philosophy and psychology in this world. If you study them, you will know!"
Qingxi became interested and asked,
"Your Majesty, where can I learn this?"
Yining Road,
"It seems like you can only learn from me in this world!"
Qingxi was not surprised, because she had never heard of the philosophy and psychology that the emperor was talking about from anyone else!
It seems that what the emperor said about being the only one who can do it is true!
Yining said again,
"I'll tell you again, you are not allowed to call me Emperor, but Master or Miss when you leave the palace!"
Yi Heping asked,
"Your Majesty, what are you calling me, Master or Miss?"
Yining Road,
"How would I know? No one would check household registration on the street!"
"It's saved for me!"
A few people came to the overpass while chatting.
The streets in this area have been widened, and even though there are many stalls and performers on both sides, the road in the middle is still very wide.
The ground was paved with bluestone, which was very flat. There was no longer the dusty scene as before. It could be said to be spotless.
Yining asked Shuntian Prefecture to cancel the curfew. He wanted to develop the night market economy and carry out livelihood projects so that people could move freely at night.
Tianqiao has innate conditions and has become people's favorite leisure and entertainment center.
This year, the people in Beijing are obviously much better off than in previous years, and they seem to be thriving.
The common people all know that they can live a good life today thanks to the current Emperor.
The emperor abolished various taxes and fees, and the burden on the people was suddenly reduced. Several national examinations held in the capital also brought huge business opportunities to the capital.
A large number of wealthy people flocked to the capital, which directly boosted the city's economy. Everyone could make a fortune by doing any small business.
The emperor also ordered the Ministry of Works to start several projects, which required a large amount of labor.
Moreover, working for the emperor's family not only provides food, but also pays quite high wages. As long as you are not lazy, you can find a job that suits you.
Even some people with disabilities can maintain order and keep things clean.
As long as you have a job, you can earn at least ten copper coins a day. Ten copper coins can buy twenty steamed buns or thirty corn bread, and a family of five or six people will not go hungry.
These projects not only enabled the people of the capital to find jobs and earn money, but also benefited the people living near the capital.
When ordinary people have money in their pockets, they are willing to spend it. You buy my steamed bread, I buy your steamed bread, you buy his fried dough sticks, he buys other people's rice and flour.
This creates a virtuous cycle and stimulates consumption, which is exactly what Yining wants.
Seeing the current situation, Yining feels refreshed!
Big red lanterns were hung on the storefronts on both sides of the street, and most of the stalls had bright calcium carbide lamps lit.
It was the first time for Hongxiu and Qingxi to see this kind of lantern. They were very curious.
"What kind of lamp is this?"
Yi Heping said,
"Don't you know? This was invented by the Emperor... the Master!"
The two beauties stared at Yining with wide eyes.
"real!"
Yining smiled and nodded.
"Yes!"
Little stars instantly appeared in the eyes of the two beauties!
The current calcium carbide lamp is of course considered to have been invented by Yining Dao, because historically the calcium carbide lamp was invented in 1897, and it was not invented by a Chinese.
Yining's time travel brought it to the public nearly fifty years earlier.
The calcium carbide lamp is made of two iron boxes, one large and one small.
Put water in the big iron box and put a small iron box upside down inside it.
There is a small hole on the small iron box for water to enter. Calcium carbide is placed inside. The water in the large iron box enters the small iron box, and the water and calcium carbide react to produce acetylene gas.
There is an upright hollow iron tube in the middle of the small iron box. When the acetylene gas is ignited at the top of the iron tube, there will be a very bright light.
In fact, the properties of acetylene lamps are similar to those of kerosene lamps. Kerosene lamps absorb oil, while this one absorbs acetylene gas.
The advantages of this type of lamp are that it is very bright and not very afraid of wind. The disadvantage is that it has some odor when burning, but it is tolerable.
This type of lamp made great contributions to the military, mining, locomotives, farms, hunting and some outdoor sports of New China in the 1950s.
If you haven't heard of the calcium carbide lamp, you must have heard of its other name, the gas lamp.
Because this type of lamp was invented by foreigners, and the English pronunciation of acetylene gas is "gas", people are accustomed to calling it a gas lamp.
This time it was invented by Yining, and the word "Gas" with a foreign flavor is destined to be unknown to everyone!
Looking at Hongxiu and Qingxi's admiring expressions, Yi Heping whispered,
"You might not know this, but the Master also invented the Unscrupulous Cannon, the Rocket Launcher, and the Grenade. Otherwise, the bandit suppression was so smooth, all thanks to the Master's inventions!"
Hongxiu was extremely happy and said,
"Master, you are really capable. You can do everything!"
Qingxi was also deeply impressed from the bottom of her heart. What on earth could this mysterious man not do?
As he walked, Yi Heping secretly looked around, and gradually he saw some people surrounding them intentionally or unintentionally.
He felt relieved, this must be someone from the National Security Bureau arranged by Lord Su Shun!
He waved his hand quietly, meaning that these people should not get too close, so as not to affect the emperor's good mood!
The Tianqiao area was already very lively, and now, thanks to the conscious guidance of the foodie emperor, the local snacks from all over the country have become even more abundant.
Now you can eat whatever you want here. Basically, there are young men and women in front of each stall buying this and that, and business is good.
It’s summer now, and of course the newly emerging grilled lamb kebab stalls are the most popular.
They walked to the outside of a theater, where there was a kebab stall with seats in the open space.
There were more than a dozen small dining tables and stools behind the stall, which was almost the same as the barbecue stalls of later generations!
This is it. The stall owner is a couple. They look clean and tidy and have a good service attitude.
When the woman saw two men and two women coming, the men were handsome and the women were stunningly beautiful, both of them were top-notch people. She was overjoyed and hurried over to greet them.
People like this are happy to sit at their stalls without paying. How many customers can they attract?
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat!"
Yining Road,
"There are three more people. Align the two tables!"
Not long after they sat down, Yi Jianshe, Zhang Changtian and Zhang Congzhi came running over.
Seeing that the two people were sweating profusely, Yining asked the proprietress to serve them a few bowls of iced sour plum soup to relieve the fever.
They all came here running. There was not a drop of sweat on Yi Jianshe's head. Walking was like a piece of cake for this guy.
Zhang Changtian and Zhang Congzhi wanted to greet him, but Yining stopped them with a look.
It wasn't long before the lady boss brought a bunch of lamb skewers.
"Young Master and Miss, you guys eat first!"
