“Woo woo…”

The steam locomotive ran another thirteen laps on the circular rails and finally stopped slowly.

Wang Chong and Zhao Xu jumped out of the front of the car and looked at each other and smiled.

The success of steam locomotives represents the overall improvement of Yanzhou's industrial level.

Because assembling this steam locomotive requires all kinds of spare parts.

The core components are manufactured in the steam engine workshop.

Many spare parts are manufactured by supporting workshops established during this period.

For example, there is a special screw workshop for screws.

Gears have special gear workshops.

There are also corresponding workshops for connecting rods and crankshafts.

Professional workshops are only responsible for manufacturing the most core parts.

For example, the steam engine workshop will focus more on cylinder cutting and cylinder plug manufacturing.

After all, the most important thing about a steam engine is airtightness.

The reason he did this was to establish a standardized production system.

Doing anything in a workshop means nothing is perfect.

Since the clock and watch shop needs gears, textile machines and looms also need gears.

Instead of building a gear production line when manufacturing pocket watches, pendulum clocks, looms, and spinning machines.

It’s better to gather together and be more professional.

The craftsmen in the watch shop will develop clocks, but will not devote their energy to specializing in gears.

But in order to make money, the gear workshop must improve the quality of its own gears.

In this way, all kinds of workshops can develop healthily.

At the same time, this is also to improve Yanzhou's industrial system.

When he needs a certain machine, he can find the corresponding supporting workshop and give them size.

He can get qualified accessories and assemble a machine.

"Where is Your Highness going to lay the first railway track?" Wang Chong asked at this time.

Zhao Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth.

At present, he is most looking forward to two things, one is a steam engine locomotive and the other is a steam boat.

These two belong to the revolution of transportation.

Both for industry, commerce and military purposes are of great significance.

At present, he achieved the first one, and in no time, he would achieve the second one.

As for the laying of railway tracks, he had already planned it.

The first article, naturally extends eastward, passes through Pingjun, and arrives at Jinghai.

The largest iron ore in Yanzhou in Pingjun is currently the end of the canal, while Jinghai is related to marine trade.

The completion of this railway can not only transport goods to wharfs and ports as fast as possible, but also continuously transport iron ore to Yanzhou.

This second railway naturally passes through Shanggu County and arrives in Jinzhou.

He needs coal from Jinzhou.

The third article extends from Pingjun to the west and northward.

Arrive west to Liao County, and north to Ningjindusi.

The fourth article is to go west from Yanzhou, arrive in Yuzhou, Sizhou, and then to Qinzhou Yongzhou, and arrive in Xiaoguan.

Article 5: From Yanzhou to Qizhou, then from Bianfu, one through Bozhou and the other through Ningzhou.

Of course, this is all his plan.

It is a huge project to build all these railways, which requires a lot of money and labor.

At present, the first and second items are about to be built.

Thinking of this, he told Wang Chong about his ideas while going back to Wang Chong's office at the Steam Engine Workshop.

The two of them chatted with tea for a while, and Wang Chong suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Highness's steam locomotive test drive was successful. Next, you only need to build a steam locomotive workshop, specializing in manufacturing and improvement. I think it's time to develop generators next."

He doesn't want to be idle now.

King Yan taught them so many things, but he was afraid that his life would be too short and all would be realized.

So, he just wants to turn the things in the book into reality as soon as possible.

This is his only happiness right now.

Zhao Xu nodded, the steam engine only represents the first industrial revolution.

At present, the Western Land and Earth are basically at the end of the first industrial revolution.

In another twenty or thirty years, we will naturally enter the Second Industrial Revolution.

In contemporary times, it was the Second Industrial Revolution that brought Western powers to the top.

According to his memory, in 1820, the Frenchman Amper discovered Amper's Law.

In 1832, another Frenchman invented a hand-crank generator.

But the real large-scale use of electricity was after the emergence of DC generators in the 1860s.

At present, Yanzhou has caught up with the tail of the first industrial revolution.

If you want to surpass yourself, you can only enter the Second Industrial Revolution early and popularize electricity.

Therefore, the Yanzhou industry he established at the moment was not the ultimate goal, but just to serve the Second Industrial Revolution.

Allow Yanzhou's industry to create something that breaks through to the Second Industrial Revolution.

"Although follow the route I gave you, try boldly." Zhao Xu gave Wang Chong an encouraging look.

Follow him from the beginning.

Now Wang Chong gradually has his own independent thoughts and actions.

Be able to develop step by step according to the technology you have mastered.

Qu Sheng is the same.

During this period, although he was silent, he was developing a revolutionary chemical substance.

After chatting with Wang Chong for a while, Zhao Xu left the palace.

Halfway through, he remembered Yang Zhen, suddenly turned his horse's head and headed towards the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion.

Yang Feng has a very hot temper. If he saw Yang Zhen, he knew that he was not dead and had been hiding on a deserted island for more than ten years, he would not know what he would do.

Thinking about it all the way, he arrived at Cuiyufang.

Most of the imperial merchants and officials who escaped from Jinling bought houses in this place.

As a result, Cuiyufang has become a place where every inch of land is valuable.

When he arrived at Duke Yiguo's mansion, Zhao Xu was about to watch a joke.

At this time, he was stunned and saw Yang Feng and Yang Zhen and his son smiling terrifiedly.

He was sending Concubine Mi outside.

"Mother's Concubine." Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and immediately got off the horse, "Why are you in the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion?"

Yang Feng and Yang Zhen didn't say anything, and both laughed so hard that they couldn't stop.

When Concubine Mi saw Zhao Xu, she grabbed his hand and said, "My mother happened to meet General Yang Zhen on the way, so she remembered a good thing, so she came over."

While speaking, Concubine Mi looked at Zhao Xu with ambiguous eyes.

Yang Susu, behind Yang Zhen and Yang Feng, looked sideways and blushed.

Zhao Xu instantly understood what Concubine Mi meant and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"You first came to Yan County and are now twenty. If you don't get married, you will have to poke the backbone of your mother's mother." Concubine Mi was very tempted, "Your father also said that looking at Yan City, the granddaughter of the Duke of Yiguo will match you in terms of identity and appearance."

After pausing, he continued, "Besides, if you have built such a great foundation, someone must inherit it. Your father and ministers have mentioned it once."

Zhao Xu glanced at Yang Susu and saw that her appearance was beautiful, and she was even more beautiful and shy.

Moreover, during Yang Feng's suffering, Yang Susu was able to make money in order to make a living, which shows that he was also a virtuous family member.

So he said, "Just rely on the mother's decision."

Yang Feng and Yang Zhen were a little nervous, but when they heard this, they only had their mouths left on their faces.
