BXBX NOVEL Chapter 255: A new addition to Taoyuan!
"Bring your pen!" Wang Tao roared excitedly, startling the housekeeper. If he contributed to this matter, his status in the Wang family would also rise. As the chief steward of the Wang family in Yizhou, there is no doubt. Will be a fat job.
In the palace, Tong Nian and Li Yin were discussing this matter. Tong Nian did not agree with Li Yin\'s sale of the seeds and seedlings to the Wang family. He said, "His Royal Highness, give them these things. We bought them from what we planted." Wouldn\'t there be fewer people?"
Li Yin said: "There is no other way. Instead of selling seeds to them, they think of ways to develop seeds and cultivate seedlings. We directly provide them with this idea instead, and other places have already started planting. If you can’t stop it, there’s no need to hold something that has lost its advantage, so instead of doing this, we might as well buy sweet potatoes and make vermicelli and sell them to them.”
Thinking of this, Tong Yu smiled and said: "Yes, why didn\'t I think of it."
Li Yin continued: "You also have to be mentally prepared. In the future, Yizhou will gradually complete the transformation from an agricultural society to a semi-agricultural and semi-industrial society. During this process, the common people will lose their land and enter factories. The process of urbanization It will speed up, and agriculture will go from subsistence to large farms, so stop thinking about the past. Caring about petty gains will only hinder future development.”
If you want to complete the historical change, then the interests of farmers will be lost after all. The increase in productivity will cause a surplus of food. Power, farmers will become the most grassroots producers with the least profits. Fortunately, this change will be led by Li Yin himself, and he will control it carefully to prevent this drastic change from getting out of control.
Tong Nian nodded when he heard the words. He learned from Tong Yu that Taoyuan is now producing some machinery needed by the factory, and it will soon be used in the workshop. That must be the beginning of the industrial revolution.
After dealing with this matter, Li Yin went to Taoyuan. Entering Taoyuan from the cave outside the mountain, Li Yin immediately heard the noisy sound of machinery. In a year, Li Yin bought all the machinery needed by Taoyuan. Now the industrial level of Taoyuan can no longer be used for the first time. , to describe the second industrial revolution, after all, these machines are all modern industrial machines. Electricity is also used, especially the use of machine tools and welding technology, which makes it possible to produce complex mechanical products.
In the morning, Li Yin got a report from Tong Yu, saying that he had figured out how to use the hot air balloon and had successfully tested the flight. Speaking of which, Li Yin had never made this thing before. He is also very interested. Of course, riding a hot air balloon is just one of the purposes of his visit. The most important thing is that the first steam pump has been manufactured, which will bring great changes to the mining industry.
"Your Highness!" Entering the factory area, Li Yin walked along the straight road as if walking in a modern industrial park. Before he had taken a few steps, he saw a man riding a bicycle with a large beam coming towards him.
It was Tong Yu who came. "Okay, after two years, this bicycle is finally built." Li Yin joked.
"I have figured out the structure and principle of this bicycle a long time ago. It\'s just that a clever woman can\'t cook without rice. I can\'t do anything if I can\'t produce a bicycle chain. Now that I have these metal processing equipment, this problem will be solved." Tong Yu said. Said kindly.
Li Yin nodded and said, "Let me see!"
Tong Yu got off the bicycle and gave the bicycle to Li Yin. After taking the bicycle, Li Yin took a closer look. This bicycle really looked like a modern bicycle. It was similar to the old Phoenix brand bicycle in the past. .
Li Yan was delighted, and rode his bicycle around Tong Yu twice, and said, "Is this bicycle energy-efficient?"
"It\'s possible, but I think the machine should be used in the production of mining machinery and smelting machinery. This is a means of transportation, and it doesn\'t matter if the production is a few years late." Tong Yu said.
"That\'s right." Li Yin got off the bicycle, and continued: "Small batch production is still possible. Make 30 and send it to the palace." Just like in the 1970s and 1980s, this bicycle is absolutely It is a high-grade thing, and it is scarce when you play it. After all, this is also the first batch of domestically produced things.
Tong Yu smiled and said: "This is no problem, I will send it to His Highness in a few days."
The two walked in while talking. Tong Yu also introduced the latest development of Taoyuan to Li Yin. With the mechanical equipment provided by Li Yin, many things on the drawings were realized. Modern mechanical products can also be imitated, but it is still difficult to imitate some sophisticated things. Li Yin nodded frequently. Ask for more sophisticated and advanced things, after all, that is not realistic.
The reason why Li Yin made such a request was not to buy and use modern machinery directly but to use it as a template for imitation, so that they could master it from the most basic level, otherwise how would the machinery be repaired if it was broken? They can only provide follow-up repairs if they are produced by themselves.
While speaking, Tong Yu led him to an open space, where a huge hot air balloon was hovering in mid-air, four ropes were still tied to wooden stakes on the ground, and three people were manipulating it. The hot air balloon went up and down for a while, and it was very unstable.
"Can they do it?" Looking at the three people, Li Yin secretly sweated. He didn\'t dare to go up and take a ride with such a clumsy operation.
Tong Yu looked embarrassed, "Didn\'t your Highness just say that you can fly?"
Li Yin said: "This hot air balloon can fly to a height of several thousand meters, can they do it?"
"I haven\'t tried this before. They have been training with a rope, and I will let them try it after getting familiar with it for a while." Tong Yu said.
Li Yin nodded, "Forget it, let them continue training, they must pay attention to safety, and don\'t kill anyone."
At first, I thought I could take a hot air balloon ride, but now it seems that there is no hope. Li Yin and Tong Yu went to see the steam pump again. He was finally not disappointed. Looking at the steam pump that continuously pumps water up from the river, Li Yin Nodding again and again.
"Since this is the case, let\'s send it to the coal mine. I heard that the water in the coal mine is very serious now, which affects the mining of coal. The construction of mine cars and tracks is also on the agenda. This is very important for future ore mining." Li Yin told Tong Yu that the establishment of an industrial system is inseparable from mining and metallurgy, which is the first problem to be solved.
Tong Yu looked relaxed. A set of mining equipment driven by a steam engine has been produced and is just waiting to be installed in various mines.
"Your Highness, don\'t worry." Tong Yu said and brought Li Yin into a machinery factory. Today, the number of skilled workers and scientific researchers in Taoyuan has exceeded 50,000 to 60,000, which is considered a huge number, and this is initially satisfied. The needs of the Taoyuan factory, and the number of these workers is still increasing, which shows Li Yin\'s determination to develop the industry.
The factory Li Yinjin entered is a parts processing factory. At this time, the workers are processing raw materials into nuts and screws. With modern equipment, these people work very efficiently. There are already many nuts and screws of different specifications on the ground. .
After leaving one factory, Li Yin went to several other factories. The heavy industry factory buildings in Taoyuan accounted for a large proportion, and the production was basically related to steel. Now the parts of firearms have achieved assembly line production, not to mention With regard to armor and swords, it can be said that now Li Yin does not need to worry about not having enough weapons, but just worrying about not having enough soldiers.
Walking through several machinery factories, Li Yin and Tong Yu saw Du Zhiping in a newly built factory building. At this time, he was sitting on something that looked like a car, moving forward at an extremely slow speed.
Li Yan\'s mouth opened wide in an instant. When Du Pingzhi was driving, there was basically no carriage, only the chassis and engine skeleton of the car. If the carriage was added, it would be a car.
"How did you do it?" Li Yin was a little surprised. He didn\'t expect Du Zhiping to build the most primitive car in a year, but seeing the same speed as a tractor, Li Yin was instantly speechless.
Du Zhiping was having a good time, when he heard Li Yin\'s words, he pulled the brakes, and the truck stopped immediately, he said: "I have copied the internal combustion engine of the tractor, and the industrial equipment purchased by His Highness is really amazing, what kind of parts are there?" can be produced.”
Li Yin is now concerned about the speed of this car, so he asked: "How is the speed of this car?"
Du Zhiping scratched his head, "It\'s not very ideal, I can only walk ten meters a minute."
The passion in Li Yin\'s heart was half gone, it\'s not as good as a donkey cart! But anyway, this is also the budding of car production, so let\'s treat it as a toy now.
"Very good, keep working hard. I will provide you with some data and technology for car manufacturing in a few days. You can study it carefully and see if you can increase the speed of the car." Li Yin said.
Du Pingzhi was overjoyed when he heard the words. He had devoted all his attention to this this year, but he couldn\'t find a breakthrough. If Li Yin can provide some technology, then he can definitely improve this thing even better.
