Chapter 258: Cannon Hammer

Li Jingxuan and others smiled bitterly. The prince was too lazy to do this.

The censors stood and did not move, reluctantly.

"A king needs advice, especially the censors. Like the king's mirror, it can reflect the gains and losses of the king. Therefore, there are always many loyal ministers who can advise against a wise king. Pei Ju is accusing Emperor Yang of Sui and loyal to Emperor Wen, which is also for this reason. However, before giving advice, he can distinguish right from wrong, and he cannot make a name for himself for the sake of the clear reputation, regardless of the interests of the country and the people." Li Wei continued, and this sentence was a bit heartbroken. These censors were a little disgraceful. Li Wei's faces were a little disgraceful.

Continue saying: "The way of Huang Lao is to govern in peace and tranquility. This sentence comes from people following the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the way, and the Tao follows nature. This inaction is to govern naturally by nature, rather than to truly not act. History says that Huang Ba of the Western Han Dynasty governs inaction, and is the most capable official in governing local areas in the Western Han Dynasty. When he was appointed as the governor, he encouraged the people to raise livestock, support widows and poor, and promote education. It is to govern inaction, but not to govern inaction? If this is the case, what does a country need to do?

?When the emperors were at the time of the throne, politics and law were chaotic, so Shang Yang's reforms were stronger than Qin's country. However, Qin's laws became more violent and eventually lost the world. Emperor Gaozu of Han only made three rules to establish the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was long and the laws were loose, so Wuhou Qi's laws were therefore able to attack the strong Wei. For example, when our dynasty was established, the people either died of military wars, or fled to the mountains and fields, or fled to the Turkic Nanzhao to avoid disaster, and the population was less than one. At this time, governing the country was a policy, and now the population was increasing, and governing the country was another

Strategy. When the population of our dynasty was restored to the peak of the Sui Dynasty, it was another strategy for governing the country. Therefore, the Lüshi also said that flowing water does not rot, and the door hinges do not rot. The best is like water. This sentence is not to make people inaction. Water moves according to the situation, people act according to the situation, soldiers fight according to the situation, and the country changes according to the situation. This is the true highest state, the true governance of inaction. The foundation of governing the country is to have a strong country and the people, how strong the country is, how rich the people are, this is the duty of the minister. Go and go."

With this in mind, the censor had to leave.

Li Jingxuan frowned and said, "Your Highness, you are well-read and can't use strong principles to conquer the world's advice."

"I am not taking it away. Several new policies have not been implemented. From the capital, there are many discussions. Many subjects want to make the court better, but some people follow the court to gain fame. This is not terrible. I am afraid that those who are interested will use this momentum to fan the flames and cause the failure of the new policy. Tan Lishi thought it was not ashamed, but what is profit is not necessarily money, fame, wealth, utilitarianism, and power, all of which are the word "profit". Li Xianggong, think about it, how many people in the world can not be moved by profit? I can't do it. Therefore, no matter what the idea of ​​the person, he will give him benefits, reduce disputes, and prevent the world from being harassed. It is also a rule that has nothing to do."

Li Wei said this, and even Li Jingxuan could not speak.

As he was speaking, a minor official came in and said that Li Wei issued a reward list and was removed by one person. That is, the reward list that offered the reward list method of opening stones.

This list article was posted in many state prefectures and prefectures for many days, and there was no movement or someone revealed it. The so-called methods were not practical and had not been reported. Li Wei had almost no hope for this. After all, those methods have been used to mine stones for ages.

But after reporting it to himself, it proved that it might be useful, Li Wei asked a few more questions. It was in Chang'an City that a craftsman among the craftsmen was revealed.

Li Wei said: "Take me here to take a look."

Not only Li Wei, but other ministers followed. In fact, the requirements of the two canals do not require that they are as wide as the Grand Canal, nor are they as long as the Grand Canal. However, many people think that Li Wei is too ambitious and is a rock. It can make rocks easy to mine, so this project will not be very difficult. If not, the project is even the same as the Grand Canal.

When they arrived at Jingzhao County, the county magistrate hurriedly came out.

Li Wei asked him to summon the craftsman who had announced the list. A craftsman of nearly fifty years old arrived. He bent down and reported that his name was Xiong Jiaoyan. He was originally a boatman. Later, because of his skill, he entered the steward. Later, he participated in the improvement of the new trench machine project. After seeing the trench paper, he thought that when he was working on the boat, he saw the strong wind blowing the mast and the power of the mast hitting it, combined with the inspiration of the new trench machine, so he came up with a plan.

Li Wei said: "Take me to take a look."

Take it to a small yard in the south of the city. There were two cars in the yard, but they had four corners and were fixed to the ground with four iron pillars. The first car was erected with a cross. On one end of the cross, there was a round vertebral iron hammer, and there were many ropes at the other end, fixed on the flat plate between the two cars. It was not a flat plate, and the principle of bow ejection should be used to make a mechanical bracket. The mechanical bracket was controlled by the rope on the second small car.

Xiong Jiaoyan said, "Your Highness, this is something made by subjects. Because the subjects' families are poor, they copied it roughly, and it is not very practical."

I explained it again, using human power to pull the hammer arm up and fix it on the machine bracket. Then I used the rope of the second car to open the machine bracket. Originally, the hammer arm was long and an iron hammer was added. The hammer arm was raised high and very high from the ground. Then I quickly bounced the human arm with a machine bracket, which would make the hammer arm fall faster and the force hitting the ground stronger. There is also a function, not a flat hammer, but a round vertebral hammer, which has a greater pressure. Of course, people now do not know the principle of pressure and pressure, but only know that doing so will bring strength to one

Point. Use this method to hammer the stone continuously. The equipment made by Xiong Jiaoyan is a little simpler. If the materials are sufficient, the bar arm will be stronger and the hammer can be made heavier. The ramming speed is not fast. However, each hammer is rammed, it may be equivalent to hundreds of huge men holding up a super sledgehammer and hitting the stone. However, some rocks are stubborn stones and are integral, and it is impossible to break it with one hammer. Therefore, prevent rebound force and fix the vertical arm car so that every time the gun hammer falls, the ramming is a little bit.

Li Wei said: "Carry a bluestone slab."

The guard lifted a long bluestone slab worth more than 100 kilograms and placed it under the cannon hammer. Then he asked the guard to quickly use the rope from the second car to pull the clamp in the middle. The human arm raised it up, and the hammer arm was rammed toward the bluestone slab with a thunderous momentum.

With just one hammer, countless cracks appeared on the bluestone slab. The guards pulled down the arm and rammed it again. After the second hammer, the bluestone slab had become countless cracks.

When all the ministers saw it, they were all amazed.

Li Wei walked around between the two cars, which was still original. Not only could he make some improvements like Xiong Jiao said, he could even install more bull tendons under the machine bracket and some springs, which would make him stronger when ejected. However, it was a bit difficult to open the machine bracket, but he could install a pulley set on the second arm. Pull the machine bracket, which can actually be called the original pile driver.

Then he whispered to Liu Rengui: "Mr. Liu, look, if you replace this circular hammer with a flat hammer, build a bridge, or build a village house, how about hitting the piles?"

"Wonderful!" Liu Rengui couldn't help but praise.

Li Wei said in a lower voice: "If two giant cars are used to strengthen the hammer arms and attack cities and villages, what is the effect?"

Liu Rengui's face changed immediately.

In fact, many civilian technologies can be turned into military uses, and military technologies can also be turned into civilian uses. Li Wei did not point out that of course, this gun hammer cannot fundamentally solve the mining of stubborn stones, but it will be of many use. Therefore, Li Wei immediately asked someone to bring two thousand pieces of money from the East Palace and immediately reward the bear Jieyin.

It is the same as Shang Yang who bought a fortune and established a letter with a fortune.

But Wei Hongji whispered: "Your Highness, although this method is good and can be used to mine soft stones, the stubborn stones among the three gates still cannot do anything about it."

"I will take you to see something again." Li Wei said. The black gunpowder has been tested for many days, and even Li Wei even took out some money and gave it to Qingxu. With saltpeter and sulfur, it is probably not difficult to debug the ratio.

It was taken outside the city in a sparsely populated village.

Qingxu used Li Wei's money to build a simple small courtyard here, but he didn't agree, but Li Wei repeatedly warned him, which made him feel a little nervous and he became cautious.

Seeing the prince and many important officials coming, Qingxu was polite to each other, but when Li Wei asked, Qingxu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, look."

As he said that, he brought him to the yard and placed a pile of gunpowder powder on the ground. He also used Li Wei's method to dip the flammable oil paper with gunpowder powder to make a fuse, igniting the fuse, making a "repeated" sound. The fuse was burned onto the pile of gunpowder, and then the flames were lighted, and another thick smoke rose, and then nothing was gone. There was no explosion power needed by the prince.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's a negligence and I haven't explained it clearly."

No wonder there was no movement in this day, so Qingxu and his guards took a stack of oil paper again, and then wrapped the gunpowder tightly with oil paper. Leave a long fuse to ignite Qingxu.

More than 20 ministers were still watching curiously, and suddenly there was a loud noise. The proportion was not very correct and the power was not very strong, but the gunpowder was packed too much, and the sound was very loud. Everyone present had a buzzing ears, and it took a while before they could return to normal.

Li Jingxuan said: "This is the real firecracker."

Not? The sound of bamboo is to drive away evil spirits and evil spirits. The sound is as loud as possible. But no matter how loud it sounds, there is no sound. But not only for fireworks and firecrackers, Li Wei looked at the ground with broken paper all over the floor, and it was obviously not very good. So he thought for a while and said, "The proportion can be debugged. In addition, it is best to wet it, pinch it into particles and dry it, which is more powerful."

"Here."

"Also, you need to be careful."

"Yes," the answer was answered without hesitation. After fiddling for so many days, I began to look down on it. It was not until the sound just now that Qingxu was so scared that he was sweating.

Li Wei then said, "Let's go back."

Walking on the road, Li Wei said again: "The Dharma is accomplished, and this object is more powerful than just tens of times, or even hundreds of times. If it is placed on a new catapult, ignite it, and thrown into the enemy camp, what is the effect?"

Liu Rengui and others' expressions changed again. In fact, they had nothing to do with water conservancy. They also needed to develop these two things.

Li Wei also said: "The country is like a human being, everyone is like a human brain, driving the country to operate, and the people are like hands and feet, but you must not neglect the role of hands and feet."

The status of craftsmen is too low, so Li Wei said this, but he dared not say much about the ideas that have been formed over the past few hundred years, and he said this metaphor in a vague way. However, Wei Hongji woke up first and said: "If the power is hundreds of times that before, you can chisel the stone eye, put this object down, explode the stone, and make it easier to mine stubborn stones..."

His mind was quite flexible, and he immediately thought of the effect of black gunpowder. After saying that, he glanced at Li Wei again, and thought to himself that the prince was standing on the Renmen Peninsula and said that he not only mined Renmen New River, but also digging new canals on the Guimen Shenmen Island to dilute rivers. Could it be that the prince had known this thing before? Or was the prince heard from somewhere, why did he not hear any news about this thing?
