In fact, no one has any big objections to the academy’s preferential treatment of flower bears. I just want to tell everyone through this small matter how the academy does not pay attention to small details and wastes national funds wantonly. Someone has calculated that a flower bear
A day's living expenses are four copper coins. At the end of the day, three bears are twelve copper coins. They need forty silver coins to feed them a year. This money is enough to feed and clothe a family of three. It is very wasteful to waste it on wild beasts now.
not worth.
By analogy, the academy now has 1,300 students and more than 200 gentlemen, plus stewards and servants. It can be expected that this waste is definitely an astonishing number. As for the exact number, statistics are being compiled.
The cooks in the academy were scared crazy. When ordinary people enter Dali Temple, they are considered to have entered the gate of hell. Where is Dali Temple? It is a place that specializes in trying criminals. If you commit a crime, you will end up in the county government at most. Look.
The three officials who came to the lobby couldn't stand up because their legs were so weak that they all talked about the cost of raising pandas and swore that they had not stolen the pandas' rations.
The imperial censor heard about the memorial and sent it to him in the morning. In the afternoon, he was already packing his luggage and preparing to go to Yazhou to take up a post. The real letter was written in the morning to Jiuchongtian and was demoted to eight thousand Yazhou Road in the evening. It was originally meant to be reprimanded to
Annan went to stay with the barbarians, but was relegated to Yazhou after Wei Zheng and others begged for mercy.
The impeachment of the emperor would not be so miserable. As for the prince Li Chengqian, he is a role that can be beaten by thousands of people. Anyone can impeach. It doesn't matter if the impeachment is wrong. The censor, isn't he just someone who hears about it? There are some impeached people.
If you don't change it, just encourage it.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was one person who could not be impeached, and that was Princess Jinyang. The flower bear belonged to Princess Jinyang. Even if it was raised in the academy, it belonged to the little princess of Jinyang. The cost of raising the flower bear was paid for by the little princess of Jinyang.
From inside.
From this point, we can see the cuteness of the little girl. I heard my grandma say that money is counted in all places. If the academy raises pandas, then three students will have no food. In order to prevent the students in the academy from going hungry.
, she paid for it herself, and every ten days, she personally brought a basket of eggs to see the flower bear. The eggs that the cook fed to the flower bear were all brought by the little princess. When it was time to eat lunch every day, the cook would
Load six eggs to replenish the health of the three bears.
Therefore, the impeachment of the academy for its extravagance and waste is actually an impeachment of Jinyang. Even the queen did not intercede for this misunderstanding. Since Yun Ye and Sun Simiao concluded that the child would not live long, Li Erchang and Sun became more and more fond of the child. Rong
Don't allow others to say no even half a word.
The cook from the academy came out of Dali Temple tremblingly. He was scared for half a month, but after half a month, he met someone and boasted about his adventure in Dali Temple.
Yun Ye and Xu Jingzong were in the academy, so they couldn't count the academy's wealth. Now the Ministry of Household Affairs no longer expected to find any loopholes. They just wanted to find out how much wealth the academy had. After all, Li Er was also curious about the huge plan of Yushan Academy.
He was surprised, so it was very important to find out the details of the academy.
The two imperial edicts have come down. Yun Ye needs to take the Ministry of Industry and the supervisors to inspect the Datang Chang'an Industrial Zone to see if there is any other potential there. Now Datang is making steel, mining coal, coking, casting, and forging.
, processing has entered a new bottleneck, and people with great wisdom are needed to re-establish standards for these industries. Everyone in the court agreed that this job must be Yun Ye.
As for Xu Jingzong's intention to inspect Changpingcang, not only those in Chang'an, but also Changpingcang in Luoyang, Jinyang, and Yangzhou should be inspected to see how powerful the Tang Dynasty was in resisting famines.
Neither of these two tasks can be accomplished with words alone. They need to be seen and touched with one's own eyes, and both are equally important and cannot be neglected.
Yun Ye didn't want to see Wuli Sima's face, but he had to take four Sima with him. Now the court's regulations on these details are very strict. As long as Yun Ye steps up to his post, the four Sima will follow closely.
And recording his every word and deed during this period of time made Yun Ye miss the happy years when he completed his official duties in the wine pool, meat forest, singing and dancing.
The gentleman who specializes in steel studies in the academy needs to be brought along, as well as those who study mining. Expert craftsmen are indispensable. Finally, together with my husband, we form a super luxurious inspection team.
Xu Jingzong is also very proud now. He thought that when he was alone, he would be exhausted when he encountered such an errand. Now there is no need for it. There are a lot of senior students studying arithmetic and farming. By the way, Mr. Lian
He also took it away and acted as his own coolie, euphemistically called classroom practice.
The two of them laughed and said goodbye in Baqiao. One took a boat straight down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the other rode straight to the plain. Who cares what to do, as long as they don't stay in the crater of Chang'an for the time being, everything will be fine. Xu Jingzong checked his own for this.
The first stop was in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away.
If the dragon head is really a dragon head, the tall chimney in front of Yun Ye is the small horn on the dragon's head. This may be the tallest building in the Tang Dynasty. Yun Ye did not expect the chimney to be twenty feet high. How did the Tang people do it?
The huge waterwheel that erected it here slowly rotated, driving the thick horizontal bar. The square wood then drove a smaller gear, and it decreased in this way until the last gear was half a person's height.
, it was spinning very fast, driving the huge bellows to blow air into the blast furnace, and a light blue flame more than a foot long came out of the small observation hole.
Yun Ye's first stop was to the steelmaking plant. While listening to the manager's explanation, he carefully observed the operation process of the blast furnace. The bellows blowing was not ideal. It could not blow continuously. There was always a pause anyway.
Period, you can tell by looking at the flames that are coming out. They are stretching and contracting, as if they are breathing.
"Master Hou, as you can see, it looks like this. Bei Zhi and others have adjusted all the adjustable joints, and they are in the best condition now. Bei Zhi believes that there is still huge room for improvement in the level of steel refinement, but
The burning temperature of coke is so high, and there are still many impurities in the steel that cannot be refined. If we scoop out these impurities and store them, they should all be good. When we find better fuel in the future, we can refine them.
, let’s see what kind of treasure it is then.”
Master Zhou, who was accompanying him, was originally a prisoner. He was a special talent recruited by Yun Ye. By his generation, he had been making steel for three hundred years. The method of frying steel was not suitable for him.
It's not unfamiliar, but I just don't understand why it is necessary to fry to get good steel. If Yun Ye hadn't explained to him the role of charcoal in it, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to understand the reason for another three hundred years of steel frying.
Three hundred years of steel-making career has allowed the Zhou family to accumulate enough experience, but the last layer of window paper cannot be pierced. After this guy came to the academy, he hung around Yun Ye for several months, turning Yun Ye into a
After Ye squeezed out his meager knowledge of steelmaking, he went into the academy and built a small workshop by himself. He wore a short coat and hammered iron blocks all day like a blacksmith.
With Lao Zhou's joining, the academy has already made a lot of money from big steel industry players like the Changsun family, but now it has suddenly slowed down and it is difficult to make any progress.
This is the knowledge barrier that naturally arises after the new knowledge brought by Yun Ye is digested. Chemistry is still at a very primitive stage. Yun Ye can use lime to create oxygen in the laboratory, but in real life, that point
Oxygen is useless.
Later generations used electric furnaces, and steel plants used coke. If they wanted to squeeze out the energy of the coke, they needed to blow oxygen. Where did Yun Ye get so much oxygen for them to blow into the furnace?
Just as he was talking, ten cows pulled the gantry crane over. It seemed that they cooperated very skillfully. Once in place, the craftsmen drove the cows away, and the huge steel ladle hung on the iron hook was slowly placed at the steel tap.
Just as the idiot with his upper body exposed yelled, "Let's get out of the steel," the gate of the steel-making furnace was opened, and a stream of orange-red molten steel flowed out from the outlet, falling into the ladle and splashing countless steel flowers.
There was not much steel in the furnace, so a ladle was installed. The cattle in the distance continued to lead the heavy gantry to the casting ground on the other side under the shouts of the craftsmen. A stout man was also naked and swaying.
He picked up the huge ring on the ladle, gradually tilted the ladle, pointed it at the pouring opening of the sand mold, and poured the molten steel in slowly. He had to say that he was good at his craftsmanship, but he stopped before he finished pouring. Yun Ye
Puzzled, he asked Lao Zhou why.
"Master Marquis, the craftsmen are now waiting for the air in the mold to come out. You see, the air will expand after being heated. If the air is poured in all at once, pores will be formed in the casting. You see, the air has come out."
Sure enough, a stream of white air came out with a hiss along the other hole. Yun Ye estimated that the temperature of the steam must be terrifyingly high.
The craftsmen poured more water in until the steel overflowed the gate. Due to thermal expansion and contraction, more water was always needed.
It seems that the casting is not big, because there are three models placed side by side. The molten steel can be stored in the ladle filled with clay for a period of time. In less than half an hour, the craftsman finished pouring the molten steel in the ladle.
When the strong man stopped and picked up a huge water jar to drink water, Yun Ye pointed to his scarred upper body and asked: "Why don't you pass on the clothes you designed?"
"It's too hot to wear." As soon as the strong man said something, he was kicked on the bend of the knee by the steward of the steel plant. The strong man looked at the steward with dissatisfaction before reluctantly kneeling down
Kneel down and clasp your fists in greeting.
"No need, this is a construction site, don't show off those vulgar etiquette here. I just ask you, just because it's hot, you don't need to wear those labor protection products? Look, is there still a good piece of skin on the whole body? Since
You work in this industry. Molten steel will splash when exposed to air. Don’t you know this common sense?” (To be continued.
