Academy of Sciences.

He was busy making the apocalypse of the cylinder and looked at Yang Xin and the thirty-six people he brought with him in confusion.

But the two just exchanged gazes.

At the same time, Huang Duanbo and others knelt down one after another and bowed to their emperor. Yang Xin whispered in the ear of Tianqi, and Tianqi nodded slightly.

"All up, I already know your intentions, but Shi Kefa did commit a crime. The court must make a judgment according to the law. The Ming Dynasty's law was established by Taizu. Anyone in the Ming Dynasty must abide by it. If a crime is committed, he must also be punished. However, since the Marquis of Hejian said that he will no longer pursue the matter, and Shi Kefa's move is indeed to avenge his master. After the court's judgment, I will pardon him, but only his fame and reputation will be removed from the position of Jinyiwei."

Apocalypse said.

Huang Duanbo and others quickly thanked him.

Eliminating fame and fortune is not a confinement, it is nothing more than this subject cannot be taken.

But after this, the next scholar and Jinshi, with Shi Kefa's reputation, must have been completed in one go, so this should be the most perfect result.

Besides, what else can it be done?

Just based on the performance of those students today, do you really expect them to continue to fight for this?

If they don't participate, it's just that these 36 people are useless. They won't have any impact by directly catching the imperial edict and going to prison.

"Horse Hejian, please take them here for a walk!"

Apocalypse said.

He was not interested in talking nonsense with these people.

"His Majesty……"

Huang Duanbo looked at Tianqi's back and stopped talking.

His Majesty the Emperor ignored him at all. At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor was concentrating on guiding an old craftsman, who was carefully tapping a thick tin plate with wooden sticks. The tin plate was wrapped around a smooth log. As the craftsman knocked, the entire tin tube was forming little by little. Song Yingxing on the opposite side was also staring at it, as if this tin tube could determine the fate of the Ming Empire. In fact, Song Yingxing has been getting farther and farther away from the struggles in the court over the years, at least he would not take the initiative to participate. After all, for him, these in the Academy of Sciences are more worthy of attention than the Donglin Party’s evil eunuch party.

The charm of science is not only for apocalypse, but also for him.

"Huang Juzi, do you know what His Majesty is making this?"

Yang Xin said.

Huang Duanbo did not answer him.

As a standard literati, Huang Juzi was still not interested in this kind of strange tricks and tricks.

However, Wan Ji was still looking at it with interest. Of course, he was interested because he and Song Yingxing were actually from Yuzhang Society. However, he was younger than these people, so he was just a junior. As the highest-ranking member of Yuzhang Society, Song Yingxing is now like a legend. Although Huang Duanbo is also from Jiangxi, he is from Jianchang. He was not the same system as Nanchang Yuzhang Society. Because of Song Yingxing's driving, Nanchang scholars even set off a trend of learning science...

Actually, it's not just a trend.

Song Yingxing learned a lot of things in the Academy of Sciences and then secretly sent them to his hometown friends.

These things quickly turned into real silver. For example, hydraulic forging hammers have become common in Nanchang area. This thing has caused the local gentry in Nanchang to start making large quantities of high-quality wrought iron.

They also have iron smelting bases.

At this time, Xinyu, Fenyi is an important iron smelting land.

And there is also a giant pig iron furnace.

One is as high as six meters and can hold several tons of iron ore, charcoal or coke smelting at a time, and a furnace of pig iron can be produced in four hours.

Jiangxi is also a steel base.

After all, gentry is not stupid. As long as they can quickly bring profits, they will pursue them. For example, when Yang Xin’s corn breeding in Beijing, Song Yingxing often goes to peep, even grow corn in his hometown, and learns breeding, as well as sweet potatoes. He also grows mountains in Jiangxi, and even learns canning, and secretly takes several mercury thermometers out.

Of course, due to time issues, these only appeared in the Nanchang area.

Huang Duanbo could not feel the changes brought about by science in Jianchang. In his opinion, this mess was obviously evidence that His Majesty the Emperor was not doing his job properly. An imperial emperor did not read memorials or went to court, and even the cabinet ministers rarely summoned him, but he brought a group of craftsmen and slander ministers to make these messes here every day. What is this not doing his job properly? As a responsible civil minister who believes in the principle of civic advice, he of course had to advise, and even if the advice was not successful, he had to advise.

"Horse Hejian, then what do you think this is?"

Huang Duanbo said.

"Are Your Majesty, as the Emperor, is here to make a fuss?"

Wei Jingyuan followed and questioned.

However, at this time, Apocalypse had already been fully focused and turned a deaf ear to their words.

This is the key to the steam engine. Whether this cylinder can be made means whether the experimental steam engine can be realized. However, this is just something similar to the verification nature. Only when this steam engine is made and can it be moved can the next step be started, that is, to make all efforts to tackle the hydraulic boring machine and continue to make improvements with this experimental nature.

By the success of the hydraulic boring machine, it will be a truly practical steam engine.

"First, this is not iron, this is tin, second, who stipulates that the emperor cannot make iron? Third, Your Majesty is not making iron at the moment, but creating a new future for the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Xin said.

"It's this iron tube? Oh, tin tube."

Lu Zhenfei said speechlessly.

"Lu Juzi's hometown Quzhou, should we know that cement bridges are being built on the river, Zhanghe, and even the Fuyanghe River?"

Yang Xin said.

Jiu Qiansui is carrying out projects similar to the national highway. The official road that runs south from the capital to Huguang can undoubtedly be said to be crucial, comparable to that from the capital to Shanhaiguan. The most important obstacle to this official road is the rivers that flood in summer and almost dry in winter. It is difficult for these rivers to build bridges by means of the past, because the river channel, to be precise, is too wide for riverbeds of several hundred meters wide, unless the investment in repairing the Lugou Bridge is actually even greater than that of Lugou Bridge.

After all, Lugou Bridge is only 200 meters away.

But none of these riverbeds is lower than this length, even several times longer.

But it is simple to have steel bars and cement. Although this steel bar is just a forged iron bar, the cost of making bridge piers can be said to have plummeted.

In addition, Yang Xin's wooden trusses are even cheaper.

A long bridge that is one mile wide is nothing more than a dozen cement piers with forged iron bars. In winter, the river is dug out and the foundation is dug. The weather gets warmer and the piers are quickly poured before the mountain torrents breaks out. As long as these piers can withstand the impact of floods during the flood season, the rest is to install trusses on the piers.

There are currently more than a dozen such bridges under construction, including the River, the Fuyang River and the Zhang River, as well as those leading to Shanhaiguan.

This is an important political achievement project of nine thousand years old.

Lu Zhenfei certainly knew this, and the construction of the ones that were temporarily closed had started, and even the foundation had been dug up. He dug up the solid soil layer below, continuously drained with a spiral pump of animal power, then lay the stone slabs with holes, and nailed them with wooden piles. He built the ship-shaped foundation with cement and stone on it. On the foundation, he poured a pier with wrought iron bars. On top of it was a support platform of the same material, and wooden trusses were placed on it.

Double piers, but on a boat type.

Anyway, you don’t have to care about the width at this time, and in fact you don’t have to care about load bearing. As long as the piers can withstand the floods.

So the piers are not thick.

"So is this what Your Majesty bringing with technology? When His Majesty used cement to make statues, as far as I know, the censors also reported that His Majesty was not doing their job properly, and that these tricks were lewd and tricks were exhausted and the final result was what? The construction of the three halls saved millions of taels. All the city walls in the north were repaired with cement. The repair of the city wall of Mount Tai saved tens of thousands of stones of glutinous rice. The bridges under construction now will completely change the transportation in the north.

So was Your Majesty not doing his job before?

Who can do these things for those who are doing the job properly?

Similarly, now you say that Your Majesty is not doing his job properly, so if you dare to make a bet with me, all of you will be ashamed of this sentence in twenty years. Just like those censors, no one of you dares to say that Your Majesty’s cement is not doing his job properly."

Yang Xin said.

"Then what the hell is this?"

Wan Ji asked curiously.

"This is a 100-foot giant ship sailing the sea. It is a magic car from Nanjing to Beijing for two or three days with hundreds of thousands of pounds. This is the driving force for all the factories in the future of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is just a tin tube now, in twenty years, it will support an unprecedented prosperity."

Yang Xin said.

His Majesty the Emperor still didn't hear his boast.

The emperor who entered the working state could not hear anything else.

"Let's go, everyone, I'll take you to see other things.

Look at this, this is what His Majesty created thunder and lightning. It can already be used for lighting. Once it is lit, it will be as bright as daytime at night, and there is no need for any candles. If you want to see it, just come and see it one night.

Your Majesty is still studying using it to deliver messages.

It only takes a moment to pass an imperial edict to Nanjing from here.

However, I just learned the principle, and it will take time to truly implement it.

Everyone, Your Majesty is to benefit the people and lead the Ming Dynasty toward a prosperous era. You don’t have to go to court. Why do you always keep eye on court? Does Your Majesty go to court every morning to sit and then a bunch of ministers gather together to talk to solve the problem? Do you think that the decision made by Your Majesty alone is more stable than what a group of senior officials in the cabinet discussed? Since we have the cabinet ministers, why do you still need Your Majesty to go to court? After the cabinet ministers are discussed, do what they should do?

Is it necessary for His Majesty to go and give me memorials and instructions in person?

Isn’t Your Majesty’s change to the Ming Dynasty here more than the court? The emperor’s responsibilities are only one. The emperor’s responsibilities are to make all the people in the world have enough food and clothing. By reviewing memorials in court, the people can have enough food and clothing? The bird droppings dug from the island can increase the rice yield by 30%. Can I ask, can the gathering of the Lords and the Lords at the Huangji Hall meeting increase the rice yield by 30%? Or your sage books have taught you how to increase the rice yield by 30%? So from this point of view, are the bird droppings and the sage books not as good as the bird droppings on the islands?”

Yang Xin said.

Huang Duanbo and others were speechless.
Chapter completed!
