Fang Xing's hands were a little itchy, so he went to the side of the drilling machine, skillfully installed the drill bit, tightened it with a tool, then stepped on it, pressed it down...

The vise below holds an iron plate, and the drill first makes a small dimple, and then slowly increases the force, and suddenly silky iron filings emerge.

Amidst the subtle sound, Fang Xing's hand steadily exerted pressure on the drill bit. When it reached the end, he slowed down and drilled slowly.

"how?"

Fang Xing showed Zhu Zhanji the drill hole on the iron plate.

The bore is smooth with just a few burrs at the end.

"It's enough to clean it with a drill in reverse."

Zhu Zhanji touched the drilling machine eagerly, Fang Xing re-clamped the iron plate to the vise, and then explained the operation points to him.

"Don't use too much force, the bit will wear out..."

"The afterburner should be steady. If there are too many iron filings, you can stop drilling and clean up..."

After Zhu Zhanji successfully drilled a hole, Qu Sheng praised it against his will, and then accompanied him to visit the whole shop.

And Zheng Cheng has already connected the two drilled iron plates with screws and nuts, tightened them with a wrench, and showed them to the businessmen who came to see the excitement.

"See if it's tight."

A businessman took the iron plate and moved it vigorously, but it was in vain.

A businessman next to him said: "I remember that we used to pour molten iron to glue them together. This saves trouble."

Zheng Cheng said: "Not only saves trouble, but also more and more complex things can be produced in this way, and the dimensions can be more accurate."

Seeing the foggy looks of these businessmen, Zheng Cheng said proudly: "In the future, there will be more and more things here, and you will know the usefulness of these things by then."

Fang Xing over there is introducing the future use of this shop to Zhu Zhanji.

"The so-called affiliation means that this shop belongs to Zhixing Academy. In the future, the profits generated here will be fed back to the academy as bursaries for poor students and future research expenses of the academy."

The two left afterward, and the merchants waiting outside rushed in immediately, asking about the uses of these tools.

"But try it, just try it!"

So there were all kinds of metalworking sounds inside, and occasionally someone shouted that the drill bit was stuck, the saw blade broke...

...

Wang Yuan and Huang Jian also came, and the two pretended to be interested and walked around inside, picking up tools from time to time to try.

"Ouch!"

Huang Jian was trying to file an iron plate with a double-sided file, but his hand slipped accidentally, and a piece of oily skin was instantly filed off the palm of his hand, causing a burning pain.

Zheng Cheng came over and took a look and said, "Generally, people don't want to use files casually. They may hit their hands accidentally, but there are not many people who are injured by files. I'll go find some medicine."

So when he got home, Huang Jian's left hand was wrapped into a pig's trotter.

The two sat down in the study, and Wang Yuan recalled the tools from before, and said, "They are all used by craftsmen... Is Fang Xing going to make Zhixing Academy a place for craftsmen?"

Huang Jian frowned and hissed softly: "Teacher, does this person want to improve the status of craftsmen, and then win a large number of people for science?"

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not that I underestimate him. The artisan household system came from Meng Yuan. If it is changed, then... unless more money is given, it will be chaos. Think about it, once those craftsmen stop working, what will Daming be like?" Sample?"

Huang Jian thought for a while, then said fearfully, "If there are no craftsmen, Daming... will be finished."

There are no craftsmen, roads, houses, palaces...not even a kitchen knife.

There will be no craftsmen, no long knives, long guns, muskets and artillery... There will be no traces of Ming people on the sea.

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, so if he dares to do this, he will be flying moths into the flames and committing suicide, even His Highness can't save him."

Huang Jian said with a smile: "Father of the craftsman household dies, and the craftsmanship is passed on in the same way. If the craftsman household is abolished, the world will be in chaos, and it is foolish."

...

The opening of the store had a huge impact on Jinling City,

However, many people feel relieved and relieved of Zhixing Academy.

They all think that Zhixing Academy is actually Craftsman Academy!

And at this moment, Fu Xian came.

"Your Highness, those people are cunning, and I haven't found them after searching for a long time."

The boat that went to sea privately last time was still not found, and the news was depressing.

If you catch it, you can slap those guys who shout that the sea should be banned!

Seeing Fu Xian's hesitation and hesitation, Zhu Zhanji asked, "But because of the ban, you dare not chase far away?"

Fu Xian instantly felt that Zhu Zhanji would definitely become a wise king in the future, and he said sincerely, "Your Highness, that's exactly the case. After passing Xiaoliuqiu, I can only return, otherwise..."

If he dared to go further, as long as someone leaked it, the bullets would enter Beijing immediately.

"Are those guys good at sailing boats?"

Fang Xing asked, he felt that with the ability of a navy, it shouldn't be impossible to catch up with those merchant ships.

Fu Xian said solemnly: "Uncle, that's not a merchant ship, but a modified ship like the one used by pirates. It's very fast."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "That's pirates! Your Highness, this matter should not be underestimated."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "If you don't care, they will be able to pull out a team in a few years, and then they will cause disaster along the coast...Xing and Bo will go there, I will cover everything, and boldly chase after it!"

This is a responsible prince, and Fu Xian is convinced.

Fang Xing immediately went to confess to Mo Chou.

"I'll be back soon."

It's just chasing and killing. As for Southeast Asia, it is not suitable to go there at present, otherwise it will easily trigger a rebound from North Korea and China.

Zhu Gaochi has already taken control of the government and is slowly tightening his power. At this time, he cannot be troubled.

Mo Chou agreed, but asked curiously: "Master, Eunuch Zheng has always wanted to go to sea, why didn't His Highness send him there?"

Fang Xing stroked her belly and said, "His memorial last time was too intense, and if he goes into the sea again...it's easy to be caught."

...

In the shipyard, the ship has already taken shape, and the craftsmen are busy.

"Pity!"

Zheng He said with regret: "If this ship is built, it's time to go to sea and try it out."

Fang Xing smiled: "Isn't Mr. Zheng afraid of me sitting on it and feeding the fish?"

Zheng He's cheeks were a little slack, he said with a smile: "The blueprint you gave, it's not bad to be the first one to feed the fish."

The two were joking, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

"After the Forbidden Sea, there may be problems in Xiaoliuqiu. You can go and have a look this time. If anyone wants to make trouble, just kill them."

Zheng He sighed: "Places far away from the Central Plains are rebellious, but we can't live without it. Our family wants to go, but..."

Fang Xing looked at the ship with a different shape from that of the Daming ship, his eyes flickering with anticipation.

"I'm just going to take a look. When this ship comes out, I'll try it out and make it bigger. We'll go to farther places in the future."

Zheng He said regretfully: "I didn't dare to go too far before, because I was worried that the supply would be cut off. Then the whole fleet would be wiped out. I don't know if that small fleet is still there. If it can come back, it will be a great discovery!"

Fang Xing didn't know that there was no means of long-distance communication these days, so going out to sea was risking his life.

"Uncle, everything is ready!"

Xiao Guwei, deputy thousand householder of the black thorn, saw that the personnel and supplies were all on board, so he came over to ask for instructions.

On the shore, five large and small ships had untied their cables, the cannons on the deck had been set up, and the sails were gradually raised.

Fang Xing cupped his hands to Zheng He and said, "Duke Zheng, Fang is going now, come back and let's drink."

Zheng He immediately solemnly said: "Take care all the way, remember, kill if you can't do anything, let's talk after killing!"

This was a warning from an old captain, Fang Xing nodded, and then went to the river.

Zheng He looked at his back melancholy, and Wang Jinghong came behind him, and he said, "Elder-in-law, how long do we have to stop?"

"have no idea."

Zheng He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty is a little moved, but you can't just make a ban and then go back on it. Then the decree and the authority of the king will become a joke."

The authority of this era is peace. If the king loses his authority and the government loses his authority, then the world will be in chaos.

Wang Jinghong watched Fang Xing start boarding the ship, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty will definitely let us go to sea, otherwise all the vassal states will be gone, so will it still be Daming?"

"Da Ming...Da Ming..."

Zheng He stood with his hands behind his back, and said sharply, "Without the sea, it wouldn't be Daming!"
