Hongwu Survival Guide

reason?

Thinking about the three-inch pipe that was even the same diameter as the piston before, and the one-inch thin tube in front of him, and the three-inch diameter piston that was also much smaller, Zhu Yuan immediately thought of pressure and pressure, but felt that it didn't seem to be the case.

where is wrong?

Can't tell.

I have to go back and carefully recall the physics knowledge I have learned, but I can't remember much. The three subjects of science I used to be the worst in physics.

Thinking about it again, I even thought of "beaming water to attack sand", but it is also specious.

This is beyond the scope of cognition.

Seeing that Zhong He was still looking at him, Zhu Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, this involves some more profound principles of mechanics, our generation... well, do you have a son?"

The topic changed a bit quickly, Zhong He didn't know why, so he nodded: "Two miles."

"Let them study hard," Zhu Yuan motioned to the steam engine, "We are only at the beginning, and it is up to them to study these fundamental issues."

When Zhu Yuan mentioned this, Zhong He immediately regained his spirits, rubbed his hands, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, I heard... there is going to be some kind of industrial university for the children of our craftsmen?" She shook her head: "My lord, let me just ask... This, where can I expect so much, I'm afraid it's a rumor?"

"I personally suggested to my ancestors, of course it's not rumors," Zhu Yuan said, and patted the clock and closed his arms: "At that time, you, a master craftsman, will be a teacher and teach this mechanical class."

Zhong He's eyes widened immediately: "What... I... be a gentleman?"

"There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher," Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "Technical University, what do you think should be taught?"

Zhong He pondered for a while, and his expression obviously flashed with disappointment: "My lord, this... this..."

I dare not say it clearly.

If the university for the children of artisans does not teach the noble Four Books and Five Classics, it is better to learn the craftsman's skills... This... is almost the same as a cheap industry, so what's the point?
Noticing Zhong He's expression, Zhu Yuan probably understood what he was thinking.

Strange skill, a word, has been ingrained for thousands of years, and it is not something that can be changed overnight.

Zhu Yuan didn't say any more, and turned to the steam engine in front of him again: "You guys copy two or three sets of samples as soon as possible. After a while, I plan to give a demonstration to the Lord and the ministers. I thought you couldn't catch up, so I just added them together."

Zhong He also knew about this, so he agreed again and again, and couldn't help rubbing his hands again, looking very expectant.

Having said this, the steam engine in the middle of the courtyard was about to cool down, and Zhu Yuan stepped forward.

This time He Xuan didn't stop him.

He moved closer to look around, asked Zhong He about the details by the way, and asked him to bring the artwork to ponder on the spot, finally nodded, and shook his head again: "The prototype has been made, how long can it run to the limit, you can try it later, give me Besides, don’t be complacent, this is just the beginning. Now, let’s talk about the present... For machines, I remember that there is a rule..."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuan said in the earnest and expectant expressions of the craftsmen around him: "...Probably, the simpler the structure, the more stable the operation. So, let's look at the steam engine in front of us, the stove, the boiler, the gas pipe, and the piston. , shaft, etc., can it be integrated again to achieve a more simplified purpose..."

Saying this, Zhu Yuan noticed the confusion in the nodding around, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to understand, I haven't figured out how to explain the word 'integration' yet, do you understand?"

Everyone laughed.

Zhu Yuan also continued with a smile: "Anyway, think about it for yourself. Moreover, the pursuit of simplicity does not mean that there are no more functions. For example, is it possible to realize the reuse of 'water' in the steam engine, as you should have seen The steam train and steam engine ship next door, the ship is lucky to say that there is water everywhere, but the train can’t just add water once after running for dozens of miles, at least it must be able to add water at the same time when the steam engine is running. It’s probably like this. After I demonstrated it to my ancestors, your two teams will merge, and you will need to expand your manpower. I hope that in the next two or three years, you will be able to launch a finished steam engine with acceptable cost and stable enough operation, um, It also needs to be mass-produced.”

Seeing the crowd nodding again, Zhu Yuan was also moved.

Two or three years...

Both unexpected and not unexpected.

If you don’t understand, you think you can go back to the ancient times and come up with a steam engine in just a few years, are you kidding me?
However, after watching more, I realized that the ancient people were much smarter than the latecomers imagined, and there were enough skilled craftsmen, and the development of technology was not so primitive.And the steam engine... Both its principle and structure are really simple. Not to mention two or three years, just over a month now, a working model has been made.

future……

Again, as long as there is a clear direction, the industrial age, perhaps, will come much earlier than imagined.

He continued to stay here for a while, looking at the busy thoughts of each room, and did not leave until another servant informed Li Gui and others of their arrival, and came to a main hall in the outer courtyard.

This is the main house in the middle of the double courtyard.

The back is the inner house. The main room in the triple courtyard is a large study room, while the main room in the first courtyard outside is not as spacious as this side, and there is no earth dragon. It is mainly for entertaining some unimportant guests, and Zhu Yuan may not even show up.

In addition to Li Gui and Gu Zhongren, Qiao Wang also came together, and there were other people from Zhangzhou who came to visit together.

Zhu Yuan knew that there were three families of Gu, Chai, and Cui. This time, one person came from each, and the other two, after introducing them, learned that one was Chai Guinian, who was Gu Zhongren's brother-in-law, and the other was Gu Zhongren's brother-in-law. His name is Cui Jinxian, and he is also a family friend and relative by marriage with Gu and Chai.

After listening to the introduction, Zhu Yuan thought of a certain word.

Intricate!

Looking at Qiao Wang, Li Gui and these people coming together, it's all on the line.

In the future, it will also be intertwined.

Zhu Yuan is not disgusted by this.

Let’s just talk about Zhu Yuan himself, even though he doesn’t have any great ambitions, he still understands in his heart that if you stand tall, if there are no lifters below, you will inevitably be unstable.Right now, it’s okay to say that Lao Zhu’s family members are the same for a while, and they still have the identity of the clan. The problem is, in the future, there will be one generation, two generations and three generations, 100 years, 200 years, 300 years...

In this land, dynasties are constantly changing, but there is no shortage of thousand-year-old aristocratic families. The key to the survival of the aristocratic families is actually intertwined.

For example, in case the family encounters a catastrophe for a while and wants to preserve the blood, it is these intricate connections that can provide assistance.

This explains the history of the beginning.

The well-known one, the Hu Weiyong case, when it was revived in 23 years, Li Shanchang committed suicide, and more than [-] members of the Li family were killed according to historical records. However, many evidences later showed that not only the consort Li Qi and his wife, but also many descendants of the Li family, one of them According to records, the eldest son of Li Shan, Li Qingyuan, was secretly protected by the Mu family in Yunnan.

The Li family, the Mu family, didn't expect that, did they?

But it's actually quite reasonable.

The intricate Huaixi family.

One more thing, the famous "Zhu Shi Clan", not to mention the doubts about this matter itself, in fact, the Fang family also has descendants, and it was later proved that it was the Fang family who helped hide it.

If you don't specify North Korea...just point to one.

Zhao's Orphan!

This is the benefit of 'intertwined roots'.

In the feudal era, when a family became so intertwined, it was not so difficult to eradicate it.

It can even be extended further.

The oversized kind.

If it weren't for the strong and intertwined roots of the Han nationality, the catastrophes time and time again for thousands of years, the chaos of China, the north and the south, the Mongolian invasion, etc., I am afraid that this land has already completely become a grassland for riding and shooting in Hufu barbarian language. .

This is actually a culture.

The power of culture!
Ok.

It seems that I was so emotional last time, the time is very close, where is it?

in the lobby.

Before the earth dragon was completely heated up, Zhu Yuan was still wrapped in a thick fur and held a heater in his hand. He withdrew his thoughts of running away, and turned to explain some things to Li Gui. Basically, it was this winter capture, and even the next one, The key is to focus on quality and sustainable development, and absolutely not to exhaust the resources.

These things, if you talk too much, will become commonplace.

Zhu Yuan insisted.

Because I believe that when it comes to calluses in the ears, it will be subtle and become a habit without knowing it.The power of habit is very powerful. Once it is deeply ingrained, it can be passed on for hundreds of years.

Then he turned to Gu Zhongren: "How many of you are here to take the exam?"

Gu Zhongren bowed in the chair on the right: "Adult, there are seven in total, three in the villain's family, one sixth younger brother, Gu Liuxiao, one dog son, Gu Qicheng, and one eldest brother Gu Boli's son, Gu Qiyue. There are two Chai families, Chai Chuang, the son of his wife and brother Gui Nian, and Chai Ke, the son of his wife and brother Gui Yi. The Cui family is Cui Che, the son of the eldest house Jinxian, and Cui Han, the son of the second house Ning Yuan."

Zhu Yuan also listened carefully to Gu Zhongren's seemingly long-winded list of numbers. Of course he understood that the other party seized the opportunity to impress himself.

In fact, I have seen it on the invitation post before, but I don't remember much.

After Gu Zhongren finished speaking, Zhu Yuan nodded and said: "There are too many people in the imperial examination this time, and we will arrange to choose a major after the test papers are approved next month. Well, this...have you all figured it out?"

Gu Zhongren said: "I'm just going to ask my lord for advice, I'm afraid I'll be presumptuous."

In fact, he had an idea, but Zhu Yuan even spoke up, and he would be stupid if he didn't climb up the pole.

Zhu Yuan also wanted to point out, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I don't know them well, and I don't know what advice to give, so, let them each write a self-introduction later, what books they have read, and what feelings they have for them. I'm interested, what do you want to do in the future, send it over for me to see tomorrow..." He said with a smile: "...This is the back door, quietly, let Qiao Wang help deliver it, don't let anyone know."

Everyone laughed.

Ok.

Li Gui didn't smile, he looked serious, but he didn't try to refute Zhu Yuan.

However, Zhu Yuan quickly added: "In addition, I still have to wait for the test results to come out. If they are too bad, I can't play favoritism. I can only continue to work hard."

Gu Zhongren quickly agreed: "This is as it should be."

Speaking of these, Zhu Yuan was inspired again.

Self-introduction is just a resume!

Go one step further, archives!

In the future... from large countries to small enterprises, archives are very important, so we must get them done quickly.

I will give advice to Lao Zhu later, starting from this imperial examination by the way.

Specifically, each person writes one more resume, and together with the examination papers of this imperial examination, they will be assembled into a file. In the future, whether they are studying or serving as an official, the files will gradually accumulate. In the end, if you want to know a person, you only need to call the file That's it.

No way, there are still too many 'blank paper'.

Things can't stop when you think about it.

After making up his mind and chatting for a few more words, Zhu Yuan thought of another one and asked Gu Zhongren: "I remember when you were in Mingzhou, you said that the Gu family was in business, um, medicinal materials and iron smelting, right?"

Gu Zhongren had known for a long time that Zhu Yuan did not despise businessmen, so he still showed a humble expression: "Yes, my lord, in addition, there are also the early sea trade, tea and other odds and ends."

"That's it," Zhu Yuan said, "The imperial court will need some business talents in the future, who will serve as presidents and managers of various group companies, such as him..." He pointed at Li Gui: "...if you have It's suitable, you can recommend some people to me."

Gu Zhongren, Chai Guinian and Cui Jinxian all looked at Li Gui subconsciously.

Someone's random 'this kind', in their view, is not random at all.

Li Gui's current position is the manager of Mingzhou Fishery Production Company.

At first it was the eighth rank, but after the summer sea arrest, Zhu Yuan promoted this position to the seventh rank. As for the 'general manager' who was considered earlier... it doesn't feel neat, so it's useless.

It only improves the rank.

There is also a 'president' who intends to be the top leader at the 'group' level.

As for the CEO and the like, forget it.

It still doesn't meet Zhu Yuan's pursuit of neat aesthetics.

Zhu Yuan thought about neatness, but Gu Zhongren and the others thought about rank.

Li Gui's grade seven is not at the top.

Just recently, when I went to Beijing to see Lao Zhu, someone thought about it and felt that the seventh rank was still low, so he was directly promoted to the fifth rank.

This is also based.

According to last year's customization, those who contribute more than 6 shi and less than 10 shi in local taxes and grains can be rated as Shangxian, county magistrates as Cong 10th rank, [-] shi as prefectures, and prefects as Cong [-]th rank.

In comparison, the Mingzhou Fishery Company only catches the fish this summer, not private catches, but official catches, with an output of 23 tons.Although the output is not the same as the tax grain, but, besides, the Yinghai Division provided a total of 60 tons of fish catches to the north this year, which is far more than the tax grain of the general state capital.

The manager of such a company is only equivalent to Zheng Qipin in Zhongxian County, which is too low.

In addition, after personally summoning Li Gui, Lao Zhu also liked this young man who is capable, practical and knowledgeable, so he personally spoke to promote him to the fifth rank, which is equivalent to the doctors of all departments.

At present, a certain young man Pingzhang asked them for a so-called "business talent". This... If the recommended person is in line with the other party's wishes, in the future, he will also be considered as a member of the temple.

After Lu Buwei, thousands of years have passed, who dares to think?

For example, in this imperial examination, in order to avoid suspicion, several families deliberately selected children from families who had not participated in business affairs, because they were afraid of being criticized in the future.

The atmosphere was silent for a short while.

At a certain moment, Gu Zhongren wanted to recommend himself: My lord, I can!
Be reserved, though.

Be reserved!
Enduring so much, Gu Zhongren tried his best to keep himself from losing his composure and nodded lightly: "My lord, tell me, wait... I will try my best to help you find it."
