Chapter 288 Steam Engine
(ps: I read the subscription today and found that the chapter with yellow robe topped the most. It turns out that everyone wants to see Zhu Hongsan become emperor. Don’t worry, you will be promoted to emperor soon. There are more than twenty chapters. After becoming emperor, you will have to fight the Qing Dynasty. I hope everyone will subscribe more!)
The fat man's father was Chen Tong, a serious minor official in the Nanhai County Hufang Literature Office. However, during the institutional reform last year, all the minor officials in the two prefectures in Guangzhou and Zhaoqing were given ranks. Chen Tong was rated as the eighth rank, which was also considered to have been involved in the revolutionary team. You should know that although the Hufang Literature Office is not, it is also considered a personal figure in a county, equivalent to the county finance director and civil affairs director of later generations. Do you think it is not awesome?
Chen Tong was very happy today. The new county magistrate Li heard that he was also a minor official in the past, so he was very polite to them, the chief clerk. In addition, at the beginning of the year, the state-level supervision was ordered, and children from minor official in the future would take the imperial examinations. This is very important. Chen Tong studied very well when he was young, and his husband said that if he was not a clerk, he could be admitted to the imperial examinations. Unfortunately, there was no way. The clerk of the Shen family had no way to take the imperial examinations. Now, the state-level supervision was wise, and his family could finally be admitted to the imperial examinations. Although he was old, both sons should be educated quickly. Maybe he could be the father of a Jinshi master in his lifetime.
Just when Shen Tong was fantasizing, the servant at home came to the county government to find him, saying that the young master fell into the cesspool. Chen Tong was shocked. This son was all his hope. What if he fell stupid?
Chen Tong quickly filed a leave with his master and was leading his family to see his son. Fortunately, his son was not in danger of life, but he swallowed a lot of feces and vomited bile just now. It seemed that he had to rest at home for half a month.
Chen Tong was very annoyed when he saw his son's death, "You trash, how could he fall down when going to the toilet?"
The little fat man Chen Lin's face turned pale now. When he heard his father scolding him, he quickly said, "Dad, no, my son is that stupid. He was the two boys who just came here. He sneaked into me when his son was out of courtesy. His son couldn't hide and fell into the cesspool."
"Oh? There are still people in school who dare to bully you? What is his name?"
"Two guys, the big one is called Zhu Hai, and the small one is called Zhu Jiang!"
Chen Tong had been in the yamen for more than 20 years and knew that Nanhai County was different from other counties. Nanhai County was a provincial capital. As the saying goes, three lives misfortune, the county magistrate attached to Guo; three lives commit evil deeds, attached to Guo provincial capital; all evil deeds were full of evil deeds, attached to Guo Jingcheng. Guangzhou is full of nobles, including the governor's yamen, the governor's yamen, the chief yamen, the governor's yamen, and the Guangzhou government yamen. No one can be provoked by himself. He is a lowest-level minor official, and he can only be careful everywhere. He nodded and bowed. He didn't know how many times he died if he didn't do this.
Chen Tong was about to ask for details when a fat woman rushed in outside the door, which was Chen Tong's big wife. Chen Lin was the big wife who was born.
"Oh, my heartbeat, what's wrong with you? Why is this expression?"
Seeing his mother coming to Chen Lin, she was also full of grievance: "Mom, the child is bullied in school!"
When the woman heard that her son was bullied, she turned around and scolded Chen Tong: "Chen Tong, you are a coward. If you are bullied, you will not vent your anger for him. Why are you standing here?"
Chen Tong had no choice but to do anything. My wife's family was very unusual. In the past, my father-in-law was the Criminal Office of Panyu County, and he was a family friend of his family, so his father had arranged a marriage for him. Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law didn't know how he took the approach of the Censor Zhang Bingwen and was transferred to the Censorate Office as the Chief of the Chief of the Provincial Criminal Police in the future. In this way, he became increasingly unrestrained at home.
Now that my wife is talking, Chen Tong dares not retaliate, so she can only pull her family out to ask about the situation.
"What the hell is going on with the young master?"
"Master, there are three new children in their school, and they are the ones who have taken action!"
"Are you a local?"
"The big black guy who accompanied them was not a local, and he had a Huguang accent."
Chen Tong was stunned. He knew that the King of Chu had come from Huguang before, but now the people of Huguang in Guangzhou are very popular. But his wife dared not ignore the orders, so he could only take his family to the school to see what was going on.
When he arrived at the entrance of the alley of the school, Chen Tong found Zhu Bao through his family's guidance.
"This little brother, are you Zhu Hai's family?"
Zhu Bao looked at Chen Tong and said, "Yes, who are you?"
"I am the father of the child I just carried away."
After hearing what Chen Tong said, Zhu Bao knew that it was the parents who came to him. When Zhu Bao came out, Zhu Hongsan had an order not to reveal his identity. Zhu Bao was afraid that something would happen, so he did not bring the token of the King of Chu Mansion, but the token of the Jinyiwei.
Zhu Bao’s current title is the Qianhu, the Qianhu, the title given to his elder brother Zhu Hongyi. Because Zhu Hongyi’s eldest son Zhao Hu’s surname was Zhao, the title fell on Zhu Bao.
Zhu Bao took out the ivory waist card of Jinyiwei Qianhu and gave Chen Tong a look.
Chen Tong looked closely and saw an ivory waist sign engraved on the front with the "Encyclopedia Weinan Town Fushi" behind it with the "Heirloom Thousand Houses of Zhu Bao".
Chen Tong saw it in full and was not scared to death. The Qianhu of the Jinyiwei was in front of him. Chen Tong saw that the largest official in the Jinyiwei was just a small flag. There were five or six people in front of Shen Tong. The big black man in front of him was Qianhu. At the same time, the Qianhu Adult was still the guard of the children. The child's identity was either rich or noble, and he was offended by him.
Chen Tong quickly nodded and said, "It's all the Lord Qianhu, it's okay! It's okay!" He was about to leave after that.
Zhu Bao said behind, "Wait a minute, my master said, "Adults should not participate in the matters between children."
Chen Tong nodded repeatedly, turned around and walked out of the alley quickly. The Jinyiwei was not a good man, and he was as far away as he could. It seemed that he would find another school for Chen Lin when he went back.
No matter how Shen Tong replied to his wife when he went back, the Zhu Hai and his brothers had a happy day.
After returning to the Chu Palace, Zhu Bao reported the matter to Zhu Hongsan to know.
Zhu Hongsan didn't take it to heart either. A small official was really an ant-like figure in Zhu Hongsan's eyes. Now Zhu Hongsan's headache is about the steam engine.
Zhu Hongsan stayed in the factory for an afternoon, and it was the steam engine.
The steam engine has been produced now, of course, with many advantages. It has high power. One steam engine can compare with the power of ten water trucks. It is not restricted by terrain. In the past, factories had to be located by the river in order to make power, and there was a certain depth of river water to ensure the operation of the water truck. Now with the steam engine, factories can be opened everywhere. In addition, fuel is not restricted, anything is fine, coal and wood are fine, but straw is really not feasible.
There are many advantages, but only one disadvantage, it is bulky. A steam engine costs more than 50 tons, and it can't be moved after installation. Zhu Hongsan also knew that there was nothing he could do. This was limited by the technology of this era. The steel strength was not enough. In order to ensure sufficient air pressure, safety must be ensured. Only the thickness of the cylinder is thickened. The steel plate of the cylinder is thickened to five layers, so that it can ensure continuous operation for one day. In this way, it will have to be inspected every three days and replace unqualified parts. If this is not the case, safety cannot be guaranteed.
Zhu Hongsan knew that if the five-meter-high big guy in front of him exploded, it would not be a matter of one or two people dead. More than 100 people in the workshop would not survive, so Zhu Hongsan told Tienniu that he must ensure safety and not forget to repair it.
In this way, the steam engine was officially put into production, and the new power was many times stronger than the previous hydraulic power. Zhu Hongsan estimated that if all his factories were replaced with new power, the production efficiency would be increased by half. The corresponding weapon production cost could also be greatly reduced, about 30%. This is still calculated in the current factory. There is no geographical restriction on the steam engine, so that it can be produced in mountainous areas and new factories can be opened. In this way, the problem of insufficient weapons production can be greatly alleviated.
However, Zhu Hongsan still lacks understanding of the power of steam engines. With the steam engine, Zhu Hongsan Group's productivity and production relations finally match. Various mines do not need to be fully digged with manpower, and silk reeling factories do not need to be used to reel wires, which saves a lot of manpower and costs decrease again.
However, Zhu Hongsan was still not satisfied with the steam engine because it was too heavy to install a warship. The steam warship was what Zhu Hongsan hoped for, and it seemed that he had to wait a moment now.
In the afternoon, Zhu Hongsan issued more than a dozen orders in a row. This time he had new motivation and could do it. Zhu Hongsan decided to set up three development zones in Shunde County, Guangzhou, Gaoyao County, Zhaoqing Prefecture, and Qiongshan County, Qiongzhou Prefecture. This time he wanted to play big.
Zhaoqing Prefecture, which is more than 200 miles away from Guangzhou, has no idea that they will undergo earth-shaking changes in a few months. Now Zhaoqing Prefect Chen Zilong is welcoming the new Tongzhi Tong Tuchang.
Tong Tuchang was very satisfied with his transfer of this job. Zhaoqing is one of the four richest prefectures in Guangdong. Although Qiongzhou, who used to work, was also very good, as a Qiongzhou prosecutor, I never stayed in the city for a day. Tong Tuchang was also very depressed. He was obviously a Prosecutor and was in charge of judicial work. Why did the King of Chu insist on going to Changhua to manage the iron ore by himself. There are nearly 100,000 people in Changhua iron ore now. It looks good. 100,000 people are managed by Tong Tuchang, but who knows who does it? Changhua is located in the inland area, with nothing, and the living environment is harsh, and there are mosquitoes everywhere. You can bite a few bags on your butt when you go out to the toilet.
Zhaoqing is a good place. Although the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi is here, the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi is now vacant, and there are basically no people in the yamen. Chen Zilong, the governor of Zhaoqing Prefecture, is the eldest, and Tong Tuchang is the second.
The boss Chen Zilong sat opposite Tong Tuchang. Today, several heads from the prefectural office welcomed Tong Tuchang's new official to take office.
