Chapter 255 New things in Taoyuan!

(I was upset and didn't write out words in one morning. I'm sorry. Today, there are only two updates and six thousand words, and I'm writing them sloppy. In addition, thank you for the rewards of Bing Zi Yefeng Zui, the rewards and monthly tickets from other readers. Some readers are also asked to show mercy and complain about the plot. If you want to hit the author, please say less. It really affects your mood. Sorry again.)

Wang Tao didn't know how he returned to Yanjing Mine from the Shu Wang Mansion. He didn't come back to his senses until the butler in the mansion called him a few times. He lived in Yizhou for more than two years. Those northern clans may not understand the powerful energy contained in Yizhou, but he felt it a little bit. If it was really as Li Yan said, then the Wang family's financial resources would definitely surpass the other families in a very short time and become the leader of the Seven Hopes.

"Get the pen!" Wang Tao shouted excitedly, shocking the butler. If he caused this, his status would also rise in the Wang family. As the general manager of the Wang family in Yizhou, this would undoubtedly be a fat man.

In the palace, Tong Nian and Li Yan were discussing this matter. Tong Nian did not agree with Li Yan's selling seeds and seedlings to the Wang family. He said, "Your Highness, give them these things, aren't there any fewer people who buy the things we plant?"

Li Yan said: "This is a problem. If you don't sell seeds to them, they are thinking about how to develop seeds and cultivate seedlings. We directly provide them with the idea instead of making this idea. Moreover, planting in other places has started, and it is impossible to stop it. There is no need to hold things that have lost their advantages in your hands. Instead of doing this, we might as well buy sweet potatoes and make them vermicelli and sell them."

Thinking of this, Tong Yu smiled and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"

Li Yan continued: "You must also be mentally prepared. In the future, Yizhou will gradually complete the transformation of agricultural society to semi-agricultural and semi-working society. In this process, the people will lose their land and enter factories. The process of urbanization will accelerate, and agriculture will transform from self-sufficiency to large farms. Therefore, don't stop thinking about the past. Caring about this little profit will only hinder future development."

If you want to complete historical changes, the interests of farmers will eventually be lost. There is no way to increase productivity and cause food surplus. The four levels of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce will also change. Among them, workers and merchants will become the dominant forces of society, farmers will become the grassroots producers, and they will also obtain the least profit. Fortunately, this change will be dominated by Li Yan, who will control it gingerly to prevent such drastic changes from getting out of control.

Tong Nian nodded when he heard this. He learned from Tong Yu that Taoyuan is now producing some machinery needed by factories, and will soon be used in workshops. That must be the beginning of the industrial revolution.

After dealing with this, Li Yan went to Taoyuan. From a cave outside the mountain to enter Taoyuan, there was a noisy sound of machinery in Li Yan's ears. In a year, Li Yan bought all the machinery needed by Taoyuan. Now Taoyuan's industrial level cannot be described as the first time and the second industrial revolution. After all, these machinery are all industrial machinery painted by modern paintings. The use of electricity, especially the use of machine tools and welding technology, making it possible to produce complex mechanical products.

In the morning, Li Yan received a report from Tong Yu, saying that he had figured out the method of using hot air balloons and had successfully tested the flight. Speaking of which, Li Yan had never made this thing. He was also very interested. Of course, riding in hot air balloons was just one of his purpose here. The most important thing was that the first steam pump was completed, which would bring huge changes to the mining industry.

"Your Highness!" Entering the factory area, Li Yan followed the straight road as if he was walking in a modern industrial park. Before he could walk a few steps, he saw a man riding a bicycle on a beam coming towards him.

The person who came was Tong Yu. "Okay, it's been two years, and this bicycle has finally been built." Li Yan joked.

"I have already figured out the structure and principles of this bicycle, but it is hard to cook without rice. I have no choice but to be unable to produce bicycle chains. Now with these metal processing equipment, this problem has been solved." Tong Yu said embarrassedly.

Li Yan nodded and said, "Let me see!"

Tong Yu got off the bicycle and gave Li Yan the bicycle. He took the bicycle. Li Yan looked carefully and found that the bicycle really looked like a modern bicycle. It was similar to the old Phoenix bicycles before, and it looked basically the same.

Li Yan was amused and rode his bicycle around Tong Yu twice, saying, "Is this bicycle energy produced?"

"It's okay, but I think the machine should be used to produce mining machinery and smelting machinery. This is a transportation tool, and it doesn't matter how many years it takes to produce it late." Tong Yu said.

"It's right." Li Yan got off the bicycle and continued: "Small batch production is still OK. You can produce thirty cars in the palace." Just like in the 1970s and 1980s, this bicycle is definitely a high-end thing when taken out, and it's scarce to play. After all, this is also the first batch of domestic things.

Tong Yu smiled and said, "This is no problem. I will send it to Your Highness in a few days."

The two of them walked in as they spoke. Tong Yu also introduced Li Yan to the latest developments in Taoyuan. With the mechanical equipment provided by Li Yan, many of the things on the drawings have been realized. Many modern mechanical products provided by Li Yan can also be imitated. However, it is still difficult to imitate some precision things. Li Yan nodded frequently, which is normal. His requirement is that as long as he can imitate the machinery of the 19th century, it is not necessary to require more precise and advanced things. After all, that is not realistic.

The reason why Li Yan requested this was not to directly buy modern machinery and use it but to use it as a copy template, so that they could master it from the most basic things, otherwise how to repair it if the machinery was broken? Only by producing it themselves can they provide subsequent repairs.

While talking, Tong Yu led him to an open open space. At this time, a huge hot air balloon was hovering in the air, and four ropes were tied to wooden stakes on the ground. The three people on it were controlling the hot air balloons for a while and then down, which was very unstable.

"Can they do it?" Looking at the three people, Li Yan secretly felt a little worried. With such a clumsy operation, he didn't dare to go up and take a ride.

Tong Yu looked embarrassed, "Didn't your highness say you can fly?"

Li Yan said: "This hot air balloon can fly up to a height of several thousand meters. Can they do it?"

"I haven't tried this before. They have been training with ropes. I'll let them try it after getting familiar with it for a while." Tong Yu said.

Li Yan nodded, "Forget it, let them continue training. Be sure to pay attention to safety and don't die."

I thought I could ride a hot air balloon, but now it seems that there is no chance. Li Yan and Tong Yu went to see the steam pump again. He was finally not disappointed. Li Yan nodded repeatedly at the steam pump that kept pumping water from the river.

"Since this is the case, let's send it to the coal mine. I heard that the coal mines are now seriously flooded, which affects the mining of coal, and the construction of mine trucks and tracks has also been put on the agenda. This is very important for the future mining of ores." Li Yan told Tong Yu that the establishment of the industrial system cannot be separated from mining and metallurgy, and this is the first problem to be solved.

Tong Yu looked relaxed. A set of mining equipment powered by a steam engine has been produced, waiting to be installed in various central mines.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Tong Yu said as he brought Li Yan into a machinery factory. Now the number of technical workers and scientific researchers in Taoyuan has exceeded 50,000 or 60,000, which is a huge number. This has initially met the needs of the Taoyuan factory, and the number of these workers is still increasing, which shows Li Yan's determination to develop industry.

The factory in Li Yanjin is a parts processing factory. At this time, workers were processing raw materials into nuts and screws. With modern equipment, these people are very efficient in their work, and there are already many nuts and screws of different specifications on the ground.

After leaving one factory, Li Yan went to several other factories. Taoyuan's heavy industrial factories accounted for a large proportion, and they were basically produced related to steel. Now the components of firearms have been produced in assembly line, not to mention armor and swords. It can be said that Li Yan does not need to worry about insufficient weapons, but only the number of soldiers is not enough.

After walking through several machinery factories, Li Yan and Tong Yu met Du Zhiping in a newly built factory. At this time, he was sitting on something that was skewed like a car, moving forward at a very slow speed.

Li Yan's mouth opened wide instantly, and Du Pingzhi drove things but basically had no carriage, only a chassis and engine car skeleton. If the carriage was added, it would be a car.

"How did you do it?" Li Yan was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Du Zhiping built the most primitive car in a year, but looking at the same speed as a tractor, Li Yan was speechless for a moment.

Du Zhiping was having a happy time. Hearing Li Yan's words, he pulled the brakes, and the car on the ground immediately stopped. He said, "I have copied the internal combustion engine of the tractor. The industrial equipment purchased by His Highness is indeed very magical. Any kind of components can be made."

Li Yan is concerned about the speed of the car now, so he asked: "How is the speed of the car?"

Du Zhiping scratched his head, "It's not very ideal, I can only walk ten meters in a minute."

Li Yan's passion was half gone, and it was not as good as a donkey cart! But at least this was the beginning of the production of cars, so let's treat it as a toy now.

"It's very good. Keep working hard. I'll provide you with some automotive manufacturing data and technology in a few days. You can study it carefully to see if it can increase the speed of the car." Li Yan said.

Du Pingzhi was overjoyed when he heard this. He had devoted all his thoughts to this year, but he could not find a breakthrough. If Li Yan could provide some technology, he could definitely improve this thing better.
