The Great Tang Imperial Court quickly seized most of the crotons in Chang’an City with the thunderbolt trend, which caused many businessmen who took the opportunity to hoard crotons to lose a lot. At the same time, it also made everyone more firmly believe that crotons are black powder The core ingredients, without croton, black gunpowder cannot be configured.

Of course, some self-righteous guys began to speculate on the role of croton, and proudly told others that because croton is strong, it can make black gunpowder produce huge formidable power.

The listener thought of the pain of diarrhea after eating croton, and immediately agreed to the nodded again and again, admiring the other person’s intelligence very admirably, making the fellow of oneself infallible more narcissistic, and at the same time, further deepening the world’s ingredients for black powder The misunderstanding is helpful to the Great Tang Imperial Court’s secrecy of black powder.

In the following days, Li An everyday all went to the black powder workshop, inspected the construction progress of the workshop, and emphasized several important places many times so that 10000000 million people in the Ministry of Labor cannot be mistaken.

In addition, since the workshop is only 5 miles away from the Beyond Garden, Li An will also walk to the Beyond Garden and sit in the vegetable shed for a while to feel the breath of fresh melons and fruits.

Seeing melons grow up day by day, Li An’s mood is very beautiful, just like watching his child grow up, from time to time, he will personally water and fertilize, and take care of these Little Brat carefully.

Busy and leisure coexist, this is Li An’s favorite way of life, but also the most reliable way of life, regardless of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

In the past few days, the focus of Imperial Court ’s work was only on the construction of the black powder workshop and the implementation of the 2 tax laws. Other things are slowing down. Until the construction of the black powder workshop is completed, the next step will be to consider the country-related spring cultivation Major events, at the same time, recounting the number of acres will also be carried out simultaneously with spring cultivation.

Of course, some episodes have appeared in the past few days, which are not very important, but they have attracted a lot of attention. For example, some 100 surnames are inconvenient all year round, and there are more than 3 2 crotons in their homes. For the crime of rebellion, it was Li Longji who asked the minister to find out the reason, and then made an amnesty, and informed the world that if there are more crotons in the family, they must explain the purpose to the Imperial Court in advance, and the hawker who sells should also keep his inventory. , And how much each business was sold, truthfully report to Imperial Court, otherwise you will be punished.

This is actually a kind of Imperial Court control. Croton has become a controlled commodity. However, this is not at all harmful. The Imperial Court manages more strictly. On the one hand, it can continue to mislead the world and prevent people who are interested from configuring black gunpowder. On the one hand, it also greatly reduces the use of croton to harm people, which is conducive to maintaining social stability.

Although the prices of various Chinese herbal medicines have increased a lot, but because Imperial Court not at all is eager to purchase, the prices are gradually maintained at 50% higher than the original price. The prices of mung beans and soybeans first doubled. The development of the situation has gradually declined, and it is only 100% higher than the original price, which has a great impact on the life of the 1 surnames not at all.

In addition, after these few days of construction, the craftsmen of the processing plant built the rails according to the requirements of Li An. The length of one rail is 5 steps, and a total of 20 sections are built. Because the rail needs to be laid with 2 lines, each The line has only ten segments, which is 50 steps.

The manufacture of sleepers is relatively simple, many have already been manufactured, and the modified iron wheel carriage, which has long been formed, is parked in the workshop of the processing plant, waiting for Li An to come to give instructions.

“Minister Li, this iron wheel carriage, looks weird, can it really go smoothly?”

Duan Xiushi has been following Li An most of the past few days, and is more familiar with Li An. Therefore, if you encounter some doubts, you will ask them boldly.

Li An touched the iron wheel on the carriage, nodded and said: “This iron wheel walks on a balanced railroad track, which is much stronger than the carriageway on Kenkenwaw. After the railroad tracks are paved, you know the train Is comfortable. “

“Minister Li, we are all ready, where to start shop.”

A craftsman approached Li An and asked.

“Just start laying outside the south gate of the processing plant, all the way to the south and go, This Official teaches you on the ground.”

Li An finished speaking, took a group of craftsmen, walked outside the south gate of the processing plant, and put down a lot of sleepers and rails, preparing to start laying rails.

“Put the sleepers first, the distance between them should be the same, the distance between the two rails should be the same as the distance between the two wheels of the carriage, the must is paved and the foundation must be stable.”

Li An pointed the craftsmen to work while measuring the accuracy of the work with the instruments in his hand. However, the iron wheels of the carriage are wider. As long as the error is not very large, they will not fall down on the walk, but the more The more precise the better, this will never be wrong.

It is not too difficult to lay the sleepers, and it is not difficult to fix the rails on the sleepers, but the position of the joints of the two sections of rails needs to be well handled. Must keep the height consistent. At the same time, the gap should be well controlled, the gap is too If the gap is too small, the rail will bend and deform due to thermal expansion and contraction, or even break directly due to thermal expansion and contraction.

At this moment, the temperature is relatively low, so the gap between the rails is slightly larger, so that when summer comes, the rails will not be scrapped because of thermal expansion and contraction.

Laying the rails is a very hard job. In addition to the artisans, Li An has transferred the manpower of the vegetable greenhouses and the construction of the other courtyards to ensure that the small section of rails can be successfully laid as soon as possible.

Kung fu pays off. After nearly 2 hours of hard work, the 50-step rail has been officially completed, but this is not finished. Since the sleepers are directly laid on the ground, the stability will definitely not be very high. In order to prevent The windy weather caused the displacement of the rails, and gravel must be sprinkled between the sleepers.

This work is not at all difficult. Moreover, the crushed stones have been prepared for a long time. With the efforts of everyone, the crushed stones quickly filled the sleepers, so that the sleepers and the rails can be firmly fixed. In order to allow the horses to walk smoothly between the two rails, the top of the gravel is also covered with a layer of yellow soil that is not too thick. Same as before.

Looking at a small section of railway that has been completely completed, Li An waved his hand and let the craftsmen bring the iron wheel carriage created to try the effect of the rails.

The iron wheel carriage was quickly pushed onto the rails. In addition, a sturdy male horse was pulled over and tied to the iron wheel carriage in preparation for the experiment.

Li An is full of confidence in his experiment and rolled up his sleeves to prepare for a test drive in person.

“Minister Li, the rails have just been built, and the security cannot be guaranteed, let the lowly ones try it first!”

Duan Xiushi was worried about Li An’s safety, prevented Li An from experimenting personally, and volunteered to take the test driver.

Li An thought for a while, nodded and said: “Well then! Duan Xiaowei wants to be the first to control the iron wheel carriage, This Official agrees.”

Duan Xiushi winked at a soldier behind him and asked him to drive the horse, while he jumped onto the carriage and sat in the carriage.

“drive……”

This Yulin army soldier apparently drove before, and his movements were extremely skillful, without any sense of rustiness, and the carriage was also moving forward slowly under his control, and the whole process was very smooth.

“Yeah …”

At the end of the day, Yulin army soldier stopped, and the iron carriage stopped at the end of the rail. The whole process was very smooth and there were no accidents.

“Duan Xiaowei, how do you feel?”

Li An smiled towards Duan Xiushi with a proud expression on his face.

“Minister Li, this iron wheel carriage is indeed more stable than the ordinary carriage on flat ground. However, it will bump a little at every distance. Fortunately, it doesn’t feel much.”

Duan Xiushi answered truthfully and said his experience.

Li An did n’t have to take a train in previous life, naturally understand the feeling of taking a train. However, because the speed of the train is too fast, the small gap between the rails will cause a more obvious vibration feeling. At this time, the iron wheel carriage, the speed is very Slow, even if there is a little gap between the rails, you can’t feel much vibration, it is almost negligible, but Duan Xiushi feels sensitive, so I can notice this small vibration.

“Push back the carriage, you are all working hard, let’s experience it separately!”

Li An looked towards the craftsmen and servants, he gave his orders. In this way, he wanted to verify the durability and reliability of the rail and wheel carriage, and these people are obviously the best testers, and they I am very happy and think this is the benefit Li An gives them.

The iron wheel carriage was pushed back in one trip, and after being loaded with people, it was driven by the horse again and again and drove away for 50 steps. It ran back and forth dozens of times, and no fault occurred at all. It can be seen how mature and reliable the technology is in the rails and wheel carriages designed by Li An.

However, this is only the most preliminary technology. The ultimate goal is to build a large-capacity train. However, after watching the horses pull the car and run on the rails, Li An thought of the braided direction of later generations.

The braided high talent, in the era of mature train technology, used horse-drawn carts to walk on the rails, which surprised the Western friends. Of course, others also proposed their own reasons, that is, the train smoke It will pollute the environment, and the carriage is more environmentally friendly. If you abandon the locomotive to protect the environment, you should be able to award a Nobel Prize for environmental protection.

The thought of an old man with big braids standing on the podium of the Nobel Prize, Li An is unable to bear an impulse to laugh.

“Minister Li, the humble staff feels that the iron carriage is indeed very comfortable on the rails. However, the rails consume too much iron, I am afraid that it is difficult to promote it, and, just for comfort, I consume a lot of iron, I am afraid Something is wrong. “

Duan Xiushi is getting more and more daring, and dare to point out his doubts in person. Of course, this is also related to Li An until now and him and Yan Yuese, making him more and more disappeared.

However, Li An likes Duan Xiushi’s character that was raised when in doubt. Of course, everyone except Duan Xiushi will have this kind of doubt. Li An’s creation of rails and iron wheel carriages is a local behavior. Probability without promotion is a waste of resources.

Of course, the people of their time can only have this understanding. After all, they don’t know what the train is, and they can’t think of the powerful transportation capacity and fast speed of the train.

Li An not at all explained too much, just told Duan Xiushi that when the technology matures in the future, the iron wheel carriage will become very long and long, capable of transporting a large amount of goods at a time, far exceeding the carriage’s transport volume, and the speed is also It will be much faster, and will greatly change the current circulation speed of Great Tang ’s items, benefiting the great Tang 100 surname, and pointed out that with black powder, the mining speed of iron ore will increase exponentially. Iron material is not a problem. High technology is the real problem.

By laying the rails and trial running the iron wheel carriage, Li An ’s 1st Step plan was a complete success. This is a good start. Next, you only need to study various gear structures and steam engines, and Li An also I have been working hard to recall, much of the knowledge I learned in my previous life, especially about the steam engine, which is the key to successfully building a train.

When leaving the other courtyard, Li An told the artisans to step up production and build all the remaining iron materials into rails in order to lay a rail track with a length of 5 to 1 miles.

After returning to the mansion, Li An began to design the iron wheel car and the iron wheel head. The structure of the car is very simple. It is a rectangular wooden box with iron wheels at the bottom. It is similar to the rear car of the later generations, except for the car. Some materials are made of wood, and the proportion of iron is very small.

The structure of the iron wheel head is more complicated. Li An thought hard and thought for a long time. I do n’t know how to make this iron wheel head.

“Husband, when he came back, he drew in the house and drew a picture, and he sighed for a long time. What’s the matter?”

Seeing Li An sigh and sigh, Yan Ruyu came over distressedly, stretched out his pink hands, and massaged Li An’s forehead.

Li An touched Yan Ruyu’s tender little hand and kissed it gently.

“Husband, what the hell is going on, an unhappy look.”

Yan Ruyu asked with concern.

Li An took a deep breath, stood up, hugged Yan Ruyu in his arms, and pressed it on the table case, saying badly: “Weifu was really in a bad mood just now, but it was much better when I saw Wife, come , Let Husband spoil it. “

“Husband, let go, what is it during the day?”

Yan Ruyu was shocked, Li An was always like this, and suddenly went crazy for no reason. This was not the first time. She was both helpless and secretly like it.

And Li An itself has no attempt, and no premeditation, but, seeing Yan Ruyu coming over, temporarily thinking that’s all, it should be an occasional mistake.
