Fang Xing was a little itchy, so he went to the edge of the drilling machine, skillfully put the drill bit, tightened it with the tool, then stepped on it, pressed it down...

The vise below clamped an iron plate, and the drill bit first pointed out a small nest, then slowly increased the force, and the silky iron filings suddenly appeared.

In the subtle sound, Fang Xing's hand steadily put pressure on the drill bit. When it was finally reached, he slowed down and then slowly drilled through.

"how?"

Fang Xing showed the drill hole on the iron plate to Zhu Zhanji.

The drilling is smooth, but there are some burrs at the tail.

"Please clean it with a drill bit here."

Zhu Zhanji was eager to touch the drilling machine, and Fang Xing clamped the iron plate back on the vise, and then told him the key points of operation.

"Don't use too much force, the drill bit will wear..."

"The after-force must be stable. If there are too many iron filings, you can stop drilling and clean it..."

After Zhu Zhanji successfully drilled a hole, Qu Sheng praised it against his will, and then accompanied him to visit the entire store.

Zheng Cheng had already connected the two drilled iron plates with screws and nuts together, tightened them with wrench, and showed them to the businessmen who were watching the fun.

"Look at it if it's tight."

A businessman took the iron plate and moved it hard, but it was futile.

A businessman next to him said, "I remember that I used to glue it with molten iron, which is a waste of time."

Zheng Cheng said: "It's not just a matter of saving trouble. This way, you can create more and more complex things and have more accurate sizes."

Seeing these businessmen’s foggy appearance, Zheng Cheng proudly said: “There will be more and more things here in the future. Then you will know the use of these things.”

Fang Xing over there is introducing Zhu Zhanji to the future use of this shop.

"The so-called affiliate means that this shop belongs to Zhixing Academy. The profits generated here will be fed back to the academy as a scholarship for poor students and the cost of future research for the academy."

The two left afterwards, and the merchants waiting outside rushed in immediately, and then asked all the questions about the use of these tools.

"But try it, try it casually!"

So various metal processing sounds came from inside, and occasionally people would shout that the drill bit was stuck and the saw blade was broken...

...

Wang Yuan and Huang Jian also came. The two of them pretended to be interested and walked around in a random manner, picking up tools from time to time to try.

"Ouch!"

Huang Jian tried to file the iron plate with a handful of files on both sides, but his hand accidentally slipped and a piece of oily skin was suddenly filed off the palm of his hand, which was so painful.

Zheng Cheng came over and said, "Often people should not try files casually. They will hit their hands accidentally, but not many people are injured by files. I'll find some medicine."

So when he got home, Huang Jian's left hand was wrapped into a pig's trotter.

The two sat down in the study. Wang Yuan recalled the previous tools and said, "It's all things used by craftsmen... Fang Xing wants to turn Zhixing Academy into a place for craftsmen?"

Huang Jian frowned and said lightly: "Teacher, will this person think about improving the status of craftsmen and then winning a large number of people for science?"

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not that I underestimated him. The craftsman system came from the Mongolian Yuan. If it was changed, then... unless you give more money, it would be a mess. Think about it, what would the Ming Dynasty look like if those craftsmen don't work?"

Huang Jian thought for a while and said with fear: "If there are no craftsmen, the Ming Dynasty... will be over."

There are no craftsmen, roads, houses, palaces... and there are not even kitchen knives.

Without craftsmen, long swords and spears, muskets and cannons, there will be no traces of wise men at sea.

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, so if he dares to do this, it's just a moth to the fire and destroy himself. Your Highness can't save him."

Huang Jian smiled and said, "The craftsman has passed on his father and son, and the craftsmanship is also inherited. If the craftsman is abolished, it will be a great chaos in the world and will be foolish."

...

The opening of the shop has had a huge impact on Jinling City, but many people are relieved and relieved about Zhixing Academy.

They all think that Zhixing Academy is actually the Craftsman Academy!

And at this moment, Fu Xian came.

"Your Highness, those people are cunning. I have been searching for a long time but haven't found them."

The last time I went to sea without finding the boat, the news is frustrating.

If you catch it, you can slap those guys in the face who shouted that the sea should be forbidden!

Seeing Fu Xian’s appearance hesitation and hesitation, Zhu Zhanji asked, “But I dare not pursue him because of the ban?”

Fu Xian instantly felt that Zhu Zhanji would definitely become a wise king in the future. He said convincedly: "Your Highness, this is exactly what happened. After passing Xiao Liuqiu, I can only return, otherwise..."

If he dares to move forward, he will just need someone to leak it out and the bulletin will enter Beijing immediately.

"Are those guys good at boat fucking?"

Fang Xing asked, feeling that with the ability of the navy, he should not be unable to catch up with those merchant ships.

Fu Xian said seriously: "Brother, that's not a merchant ship, but a modified ship like pirates in the past, and it's very fast."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "That's the pirate! Your Highness, this matter should not be underestimated."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "If you don't care, they will be able to pull out a team in a few years. At that time, it will cause trouble to the coast... Xinghe Bo will go there, and I will protect the situation and pursue it boldly!"

This is a responsible crown prince, and Fu Xian is convinced.

Fang Xing immediately went to explain to Mo Chou.

"I'll be back soon."

Just hunting down, as for Southeast Asia, it is not suitable for going through at present, otherwise it will easily trigger a rebound in North Korea and China.

Zhu Gaochi has already taken control of the government affairs and is slowly tightening his power. He cannot cause trouble for him at this time.

Mo Chou responded and asked curiously: "Master, Eunuch Zheng has always wanted to go into the sea, why doesn't Your Highness send him?"

Fang Xing touched her belly and said, "His memorial last time was too intense, and if he went into the sea... he would easily be caught."

...

In the shipyard, the ship has begun to take shape, and the craftsmen are busy.

"What a pity!"

Zheng He said regretfully: "If this ship is built, it will be time to go into the sea to try it."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Aren't Mr. Zheng afraid that I will sit and feed the fish?"

Zheng He's cheeks were a little loose, and he smiled and said, "The first one to feed the fish is good."

The two of them were joking, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

"After the sea ban, there will be problems with Xiao Liuqiu. You can go and have a look this time. If someone wants to cause trouble, just kill him."

Zheng He sighed: "The places far away from the Central Plains are rebellious, but we can't survive without this. Our family wants to go, but..."

Fang Xing looked at the ship that was different from the Ming ship, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I'm just going to see it. When this ship comes out, I'll try it more at that time, and then build it into a larger place. We'll go further away in the future."

Zheng He said regretfully: "I didn't dare to go too far before, but I was worried that the supply would be cut off. The fleet would be wiped out by then. I don't know if the small fleet is still there. If I can come back, it would be a big discovery!"

Fang Xing didn’t know that there was no long-distance communication method these days, so going to sea was just a lifelong struggle.

"Mr., you're ready!"

Xiao Guwei, deputy deputy of Black Thorn, saw that all the personnel and supplies were on board, so he came over to ask for instructions.

On the shore, five large and small ships had untied their cables, the artillery on the deck had been set up, and the sails gradually rose.

Fang Xing bowed to Zheng He and said, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Fang is here to go. Let's have a drink when we come back."

Zheng He immediately said solemnly: "Take care all the way, remember, don't do anything, just kill it, let's talk about it!"

This was the warning from an old captain. Fang Xing nodded and then headed to the riverside.

Zheng He looked at his back melancholy, and Wang Jinghong came from behind. He said, "Brother-in-law, how long does it take to stop?"

"have no idea."

Zheng He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty was a little moved, but he couldn't just issue the ban and repent. The government order and the king's authority became a joke."

The authority of this era is peace. If the king loses his authority and the court loses his authority, then the chaos in the world is right in front of you.

Wang Jinghong looked at Fang Xing and began to board the ship, and said with jealousy: "Your Majesty will definitely let us go to sea, otherwise all the vassal states will be gone. Is that still the Ming Dynasty?"

"Ming Dynasty...Ming Dynasty..."
