Chapter 2525: Big Workshop
There have been many strange things in the capital recently. The first one is that the prince has finally started to study officially. As a teacher, Xinghe Bo is said to be liked by the prince.
The matchmakers in Huanghuafang have suddenly stayed away from Feng Lin's marriage recently. Of course, it is nothing, but it makes Feng Youwei and his wife a little worried.
"Husband, husband!"
Zhao hurried into the study and saw that her husband was still painting. She grabbed the paintbrush and said, "Those people are unwilling to say, but they look a little panicked."
Flustered?
Feng Youwei was still immersed in the artistic conception of painting, so he reacted a little slowly.
"Yes, it seems that there is something unspeakable."
Feng Youwei was anxious when he heard it, so he asked, "Are they fierce to you?"
Zhao shook his head and said, "No, they look a little... They have been laughing, and their laughter is a little weird. It's not embarrassing, I don't know what it means."
...
"Unspeakable secrets..."
Fang Xing stood outside the Wenhua Palace, listening to the two eunuchs muttering about the palace.
"An Lun doesn't like to eat, drink, or play with women now. Does this mean he wants to be a monk?"
"No, this is the second Sun Fo."
"Tsk! Sun Fo, Sun Fo was very good before, but later he asked to go to Tianshou Mountain. Otherwise, there would be someone in the palace to serve him until the end of his life."
"It's hard to say for An Lun. I always feel that I can't see through this person, as if there is a layer of gauze between us."
"What kind of vision do you have! It's strange that you can see through it."
"..."
An Lun is now more calm. It is said that he recites Buddha like Sun Xiang every day when he is free in the East Factory. He is called "An Fo".
It's just that An Lun doesn't like the name An Fo very much, so after dealing with a few people, no one calls him anymore.
After class, Fang Xing watched Yumi go back and left the palace.
"Lord Xinghe."
Wang He waved happily outside the palace, Fang Xing went over and asked: "Why did you come to the palace?"
Wang He said proudly: "His Majesty summoned me, asked about these years, and praised me a few words."
Fang Xing casually echoed a few words, and Wang He whispered: "Yu Jia is now very powerful, look at Zha She!"
Fang Xing said: "He can be so extravagant, you are outside the palace, no matter how long his hand is, he can't reach it."
Wang He said contemptuously: "That man looked very honest before he came up, and it's only been a few years? Look at what he has become, it can be seen that honesty is only temporary, but there is no opportunity to be dishonest, and it is used to fool people."
Huh!
Fang Xing looked at Wang He and said: "You have seen through the world, yes."
"That's right."
Wang He said proudly: "On the contrary, Jin Ying who went to the workshop... Lord Xinghe, you wait and see, Jin Ying will definitely have a promising future."
Jin Ying?
Fang Xing remembered this long-lost name, so he asked for an audience with the emperor again.
…
There was a carriage and several knights on the road from Beiping to Tongzhou.
“Dad, is Tongzhou fun?”
Wuyou and Zhuzhu were sitting in the carriage, the curtains were lifted, and the two little girls were talking in a whisper.
Fang Xing rode on the side and said, “There is a river, a dock, and a big workshop over there.”
“Uncle, how big is that workshop?”
“Very big!”
…
When they saw the big workshop by the river, the two girls were surprised.
“What a big workshop, Wuyou, the workshop in Zhuozhou is very small.”
“Well, there is no such big workshop in Beijing.”
Jin Ying was thinner and darker, but in good spirits.
“Meet Uncle Xinghe.”
The previous viciousness was no longer there, and Fang Xing felt that he was facing a majestic man.
The tall chimney was emitting pungent smoke, and the two girls jumped off the carriage one after another without the help of Aunt Deng.
"Dad, it's so tall."
"Uncle, that car is so big!"
Behind him were two girls jumping for joy. Fang Xing looked at the calm Jin Ying and said, "You're great."
The short compliment made Jin Ying bow her head.
"Our family... since we do things, we must do them well and do them to the best of our ability."
"Very good."
In the huge workshop, tracks were crisscrossed, and the track carriages were moving briskly, with huge crashes coming rhythmically...
"This is the smell of big industry."
Fang Xing stood by, and the workshop that he could not see the end of made him feel very happy, and the pungent smell of smoke made him feel relaxed and happy.
"The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office have already placed most of the firearms here, and the Ministry of Industry comes here frequently. At first, the drawings they drew were not up to standard, and later they shamelessly invited a craftsman to teach here. It was great!"
Jin Ying excitedly introduced the achievements of the workshop to Fang Xing, and then he was not paying attention and was almost hit by a carriage carrying steel ingots.
The driver was frightened and quickly pulled the brake. Jin Ying shouted, "Where's the bell? Where's the bell under the horse's neck?"
The driver leaned over to look, then cried out, "Sir, it was still there last time! It must have fallen into the warehouse."
Jin Ying waved to someone and ordered, "Punish according to the old rules."
The driver ran back to the warehouse where he had just loaded the goods, and soon came back with a small bell.
The bell jingled all the way, with a crisp sound.
This is the horn!
The tall furnace was emitting high temperature. The two girls hid behind Fang Xing, but their curiosity was too much. From time to time, they secretly looked at the red-hot furnace from behind him.
And the various processing equipment was even more eye-opening.
The water-driven processing machine tool was rotating, and soon a gun barrel was drilled.
"We are still exploring how to make steel cast stronger, otherwise we would dare to use steel to cast cannons now."
Zhu Fang now looks exactly like a master, except that she habitually wears a charcoal pen on her ear.
Fang Xing nodded. The two girls had already run to the cannons and looked at them curiously. They stretched out their hands to touch them from time to time, and even tried to put their heads into the barrels of the cannons.
"How about a steam engine?"
Zhu Fang raised her eyebrows and said, "Sir, it's very impressive, but it doesn't last long. I'm exploring everything carefully. "
"How about sealing?"
Fang Xing asked, the loss of high-pressure steam work has always been a headache. The experiments in the academy finally reached a bottleneck, and Fang Xing threw it to the workshop.
Zhu Fang said with a headache: "We are now using various fabrics to test, and the effect is good, but it is not reliable, and it looks messy and has no aesthetic feeling at all."
Good industrial products must be as eye-catching as beautiful women. This is Fang Xing's point of view, and it is Zhu Fang's motto.
"Then I thought of gaskets when I was young, and I'm currently planning to try gaskets of various materials."
Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "This is a good idea, but it requires precision."
Zhu Fang said: "Master, I think steam engines can be used in many places now..."
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "I'll improve it a little more."
The power that can be borrowed in this era is, first, human and animal power, and second, water power.
If the workshop suddenly comes up with a coal-burning machine, it has a wide range of uses.
So what happens?
Fang Xing would probably be shocked, a subversive shock.
Then there was the buzz from top to bottom.
What about after the sensation?
That would be the showdown.
People who suddenly feel like they've lost their vitality can go crazy.
But Fang Xing felt that this time was not long.
Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the scientific grab for work and power.
And Zhu Zhanji did a very good job.
"Want to go back to the palace?"
Before leaving, I woke up and asked Jin Ying.
Jin Ying was confused for a moment, and then smiled: "It's a lie to say that I don't want to. Our family doesn't admit defeat, so we want to prove ourselves again. But it doesn't matter now, living in the workshop is more enjoyable."
