Wife's Observation Log

Not to mention why Lin Huaihou gained a sense of presence from the backyard again, just talking about this "rumor" is enough to make Lan Wei drink a pot of vinegar.

Although she believed it to be a rumor, the rumors that could reach the old lady may have been spread long ago, so those who want to speculate will believe the rumors and jump up, so she can only pray that Xie Zhen's paragraph Don't leave the palace all the time.

But it seems that it was Lan Wei who brought Xie Zhen out, so Lan Wei could only blame herself when she heard such an anecdote when she received the job of checking famous craftsmen from various places the next day.

The thing is like this, on the way Xie Zhen's car drove back to the palace, there was a roadblocking contest of fighting with words and fighting with martial arts.

The participants in the contest were seven or eight meritorious second sons and bastards like Tang Li, and they didn't need to play any heroic tricks to save the beauty. The roads were blocked with innocent faces, and they pretended not to know whose car it was.The conspiracy is a conspiracy, but it is troublesome for Xie Zhen.

A said: "Brothers, since there is friction, let's discuss and reason."

So a group of well-crafted parallel essays and political essays smashed in front of Xie Zhen's car in a high-pitched and passionate voice. What's more, Yi Yi expressed emotion: "There was a collection of Lanting in ancient times, and today I meet here with my brothers by chance. Collect and pass on the name, the younger brother is not talented, throw bricks to attract jade, and write a poem."

In the end Bing lost the wind and said: "Our Yan Dynasty can be considered to be able to settle the world immediately. What's the use of talking about it, it's better to make gestures, and ask the sword in the hand about this matter, it's not hurting the peace."

But who is Xie Zhen, Xie Zhen has no choice but to fight against Wen, and Fu Junwei will come to arrest people, of course they dare to arrest them under Xie Zhen's order.Xie Zhen also has another way to not lose face to the heroes, that is, to let them take their son back secretly, handle it lightly and keep it quiet, but I don't know what is wrong with Emperor Changning, so he just called the fathers of the sons in. Scolding, the nature of the matter is different.

The lack of people in the backyard of the Eastern Palace was brought to the fore, so some people began to submit papers. Whether it was for the sake of those children or because they had their own ideas, I don’t know, but Lan Wei hated her teeth so much that she couldn’t do anything about it. He could only count on Xie Zhen to live up to his expectations, and then sit in the lobby of Tiangongyuan and review the craftsmen one by one.

Among them are farmers who make more labor-saving farm tools, but if they are all like this, it will always make Lan Wei feel bald. Fortunately, officials are not the only ones who are good at observing words and expressions. An uncle in his 40s stepped forward and kowtowed. The name has been registered, and Lan Wei took a look at the name "Hu Le", which is also an ordinary "achievement" such as changing a farm tool to a plow, but she didn't know what he had to say.

Uncle Hu Le spoke softly, and he was a little shy when he saw the official, but it was not easy for him to stand up: "My lord, Caomin brought something to Beijing."

Lan Wei asked him to show it, but it was a finger-long iron object. The iron wire was still thick and the twist was not perfect, but one could tell at a glance that it was the prototype of a spring.Lan Wei desperately searched for the description of spring in junior high school physics in his memory, and his expression was probably too serious, so the uncle was afraid that she would be dissatisfied and puzzled, so he carefully explained: "Cao Min also discovered it by accident. Although it is only one finger long, it is It has a lot of power, and the plowshares can be bounced when pressed to the bottom, so I thought it could be used to make a bigger bellows. Caomin also tried it in his hometown, but the bellows were really inconvenient to carry..."

"Send someone over here right away." Lan Wei made a decisive decision, "This is a very good invention. It is not only used for bellows, it can be used on cars when it is enlarged, and it can be used on firearms when it is refined. Hu Le, you just In this regard, you don’t need to worry about the farm tools, and the month will only be higher, go to the other side and rest first.”

With this statement, there was a commotion among the unregistered ones below, and before the officials called to be quiet, a young man prostrated himself in two or three steps: "Sun Jiandou, a villain from Hangzhou, has something to present."

What Sun Jiandou presented were a few lenses, but glasses had been introduced from the Western Regions in the Yuan Dynasty, and although they were expensive, they were not unheard of.

"Small people call it a goggle. As long as you assemble it a little bit, it will be a hundred times brighter, and you can see everything." Lan Wei carefully observed his lens, which is convex and smooth——

Come on, the microscope also appeared, and Lan Wei became excited.

As soon as Hu Le opened his mouth, all kinds of strange people and wonderful ideas appeared next. Few of these craftsmen honestly only forged iron to make agricultural tools. It is suitable, although it is far away from the steam engine, but after talking with Hu Le, Lan Wei found that the "bellows" has piston movement, which is similar to an engine. The existing technology is a piston rod type, which solves the problem of double operation There is also a device called "water row", which converts the rotary motion into the reciprocating motion of the connecting rod through the crank linkage mechanism, which can be used as a conversion device between linear motion and circular motion.

Although large bellows and water drains are used for iron smelting, as long as they are modified, the invention of the steam engine is indeed promising.

Also, although Lan Wei is not a woman of science and engineering, she can only talk about such inventions on paper, but as long as she has the right direction and financial support, are you afraid that these "heavenly craftsmen" who can make microscopes by themselves can't do it?

Because there are many blacksmiths among the farmers, Hu Le is not the only one who has researched on bellows. Lan Wei dragged them all to work on steam engines, and the rest like Sun Jiandou arranged for them to do their own research on the other side and share their achievements. Diligent.

The military craftsmen arrived a few days later. The Yan Dynasty did not seem to pay much attention to the secrecy of military technology, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates obtained Fuchuan technology to control the sea and counter the Ming navy. The story is clearly written in the history extracurricular materials Yes, although at the current time point of the Yan Dynasty, Lan Wei can't call the events of nearly 200 years later as a mirror from history, but the reasoning makes sense.

"Put them in batches according to the guards they belong to. I will check each batch. Except for the workers of the Tiangong Academy, no one else is allowed to enter."

This decision is right.

Lan Wei watched all kinds of military technologies with great potential presented in front of her eyes, and thought of the springs, microscopes, etc. of the previous two days. The creation of Fuze Tianxia.

Naturally, there are skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Works. There are many simple craftsmen like Mao Yu, but there are only carpenters, stonemasons, and plasterers like Mao Yu in the Ministry of Industry. , Xiujun.Craftsmen like Hu Le who do not worship Luban and Laojun, although they are also in the Ministry of Industry's famous register, will probably never be used in their lifetime, let alone have a chance to become famous.

In addition, Tiangongyuan not only recruited these craftsmen who used the stove, but also the paper craftsmen for Cai Lun, the vinegar craftsmen who worshiped Jiang Ziya as their ancestor, and the sewing workers who worshiped the Yellow Emperor.

The most interesting thing is Sun Jiandou. Later, after checking the list, he was found to be no such person. When Lan Wei went to question him, it turned out that he was not a craftsman at all, but a scholarly family. After researching things like cunning eyepieces, and then hearing about it, he got involved, because he is a scholar and has a reputation, and he will not lose his life because of this kind of thing.

As a result, Lan Wei really appreciates him. The key point is that he is really capable. Not only does he grind lenses well, but he is even researching automatic lens grinding machines. He is indeed very industrialized and mechanized.

So when deciding on the titles of the [-] members of Tiangongyuan, Lan Wei's first consideration was Sun Jiandou.

The Tiangong Academy imitated the Hanlin Academy. The chief officer was Lan Wei, and the fourth-rank worker in charge was considered a transfer at the same level, but since she was the chief officer, it should be regarded as a secret promotion, but whether the grade was high or not was not her concern.The adjutants below are Cong Sipin, they are respectively called Shiyan Worker and Waiter Worker. One of them is an old friend Mao Yu, who has been promoted in terms of official position, but the other is Xie Zhen. It was transferred from the higher level, the original Guozijian Jijiu Le Shaofeng.

The meaning of Guozijian's sacrificial wine is that most of the new ministers in the court will call him "Teacher". In his Yamen, scholars who pay attention to the relationship between teachers and students will not make too many irresponsible remarks.In addition, Le Shaofeng himself is not an ordinary fourth-rank official. He is an old minister who followed Emperor Changning. He was even in charge of daily affairs and served as Minister of the Ministry of War. He only returned to work shortly after he resigned due to illness, but he obviously didn't care about his title. Asking him to act as Lan Wei's deputy, he clearly played the role of Dinghaishenzhen.Another point is that Le Shaofeng is good at temperament and has the kung fu of grinding bells and chimes. Although compared with real craftsmen, she is still too elegant, but after all, in the environment where the status of workers is low, Le Shaofeng must also be out of Love will do it.

Do you think Xie Zhen's arrangement is good?

Lan Wei felt that Le Shaofeng was tailor-made for their needs, but she was chosen by Xie Zhen from the imperial court, a real figure in history.

Xie Zhen has already set up a team for Lan Wei, and the next subordinates will have to look at Lan Wei's own eyes.There is one person each for research and employment, and the fifth grade is correct; the inspection is based on the fifth grade, the detailed correction is based on the sixth grade, and the organization is based on the sixth grade.The rest of the craftsmen who can stay in the Tiangong Academy are called Shu Tiangong and enjoy the seventh-rank treatment but no rank.

Lan Wei wanted Sun Jiandou to do research.

This is the highest official title she can give, and it is also the most direct official under the worker. He needs to sort out the theories behind the various skills. If he is not a scholar but a white man, he is indeed not competent, and Sun Jiandou not only has culture, but also technology, so he should be the best candidate.

But Sun Jiandou did not agree.

The author has something to say:

Additional historical background:

Sun Yunqiu, the prototype of Sun Jiandou, was an inventor in the late Ming Dynasty. He made more than 70 kinds of optical instruments such as telescopes, microscopes, and kaleidoscopes. It is a pity that the social environment at that time was not used for scientific development and research. He wrote Books are also lost.
