Lishan has many secret casting recipes. Since handing over papermaking to the Central Government, Lishan's industry has been streamlined and focused on casting.
There is still a factory in Lishan, but it will not be expanded.
Many manufacturing equipment originally located in Lishan were transported to Chang'an City, and Cen Wenwen and Wei Zheng came to inspect them in person.
The instruments sent by Lishan were huge and made of iron.
Niu Chuang explained casting related matters to the people from the Ministry of Works. Seeing these craftsmen from the Ministry of Works discussing the principles, he yelled and cursed and stamped his feet in anger.
The people from the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but ask for advice. Finally, Niu Chuang took the Lishan people away, and both parties broke up unhappy.
Only a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Works were left talking among themselves.
Chao Zhong wanted to make his own paper, and Lishan also gave him the secret recipe for paper recycling.
I didn't expect that it would be so unpleasant just after it started.
Cen Wenwen took the drawing and said, "Fortunately, Lishan has written it in detail, so it can work."
Wei Zhengdao: "The craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are all top-notch in craftsmanship. There has been a lot of talk about Lishan from both the government and the public. The people in the Ministry of Industry have always been very high-spirited."
Cen Wenwen frowned and said, "This is not a good thing."
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said: "Many people have suffered losses in Lishan with this kind of mentality."
Hearing the meaning of these words, Cen Wenwen was surprised and said: "Mr. Zheng speaks highly of Lishan."
Wei Zheng nodded and said: "At least Zhang Yang has been doing what he thinks should be done."
Cen Wenwen sighed: "Your Majesty should let him enter Lingyan Pavilion."
Those who enter Lingyan Pavilion are those who are absolutely loyal to His Majesty. If Zhang Yang wants to enter Lingyan Pavilion, he must devote himself wholeheartedly to Tian Khan.
This is Zhang Yang...
Cen Wenwen shook his head and smiled, "I don't know what Zhang Yang is about."
The court was busy, the machine of the Tang Dynasty was running, and each department was performing its duties.
Today a memorial was sent to the court. The memorial was sent from Tongguan. Lishan wanted to buy a river beach in Tongguan.
Li Shimin looked at the memorial and asked, "What is the use of that river beach?"
Changsun Wuji said: "The exposed river beach will become a new road, but if the water level of the river bed rises again, this river beach will be useless and will be submerged in the water."
After thinking for a moment, Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, unless Zhang Yang is sure that the water level in the river bed will not rise again, but will continue to fall year after year, this river beach will be of use."
"Zhang Yang is sure, can you be sure?"
After hearing His Majesty's question, Changsun Wuji replied: "The Yellow River rises and falls erratically, and I dare not conclude that there will be another road to the north of Tongguan."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Do you have an offer for Lishan?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Lishan has not made an offer yet. He just asked the Prince of Jiangxia to inquire. Lishan intends to buy it."
If the water level of the Yellow River rises again, Lishan will lose everything he bought on this river beach.
Li Shimin wanted to see Lishan lose all his money and didn't want to see Lishan make money, so he asked, "How much land does he want to buy?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the memorial sent from Tongguan said that there are 1,000 acres of river beach. This is all."
"Okay." Li Shimin said solemnly: "One thousand acres of river beach, twenty thousand guan. If Lishan dares to pay this money, I will sell it to him."
"Here."
Changsun Wuji asked the palace to draw up the documents and hurriedly sent them to Lishan.
Unexpectedly, Lishan sent silver coins the next day, and what they delivered were all silver cakes. After weighing, they even amounted to more than 20,000 coins.
This inevitably made everyone in the court wonder how rich Lishan was. He took out 20,000 yuan without batting an eye.
Just to buy an exposed piece of river beach?
Li Shimin had a vague feeling that he had been tricked. The reason for this feeling was that Lishan paid so readily.
Without even haggling, does he still think it's a good deal?
Li Shimin looked at the pile of silver cakes in front of him, twenty thousand coins.
This is not a small sum, I even reached out to pick up a piece of silver cake and weighed it in my hand to confirm that it was genuine.
No matter what, if you sell a river beach in Tongguan, you can earn 20,000 yuan. Of course, the emperor is willing to do this kind of business.
Originally, the river beach was not included in the field register of Tongguan. It was a river bed exposed due to the drop in the water level of the Yellow River, which was equivalent to an extra piece of land created out of thin air.
I kept telling myself in my heart, I made a profit! I made a profit! I made a profit!
Li Shimin felt much better now.
In Lishan, Zhang Yang looked at the documents sent from the court with excitement in his eyes, "Twenty thousand guan, this is a great deal."
Li Yue was mending the children's clothes. There was still a lot of gold in the Lishan warehouse, and silver cakes were piled up like a wall.
The family does not need much money in daily life, and the money used for circulation in the village is only copper coins.
She whispered: "Anyway, there are so many silver cakes in the warehouse that I can hardly put them down, so it doesn't hurt to take some out."
Zhang Yang plans to build a commodity distribution center in Tongguan. From a geographical point of view, it is crucial to the economy, water transportation, and river management.
I pay attention to the changes in water and soil in Guanzhong every year and every month, and it was an unexpected surprise to find this river beach.
If you capture this river beach, you also capture the ancient Weihan Road, and its status is no less than that of Hangu Pass.
In the factory, Lishan spent two months building a new steam engine.
This steam engine looks much smaller, only the size of a haystack.
It was built based on the proportions of my brother-in-law's model train.
It doesn't make that much noise when it's running.
Several villagers were tightening the screws on the joints of the steam engine.
In this way, a brand-new steam engine appeared in front of people.
It has a chimney and a water tank as high as a person.
The previous steam engines were very rough, but now this one is obviously much more refined. It is rectangular and completely black.
There are a lot of yellow dots, which are the joints fixed by copper screws.
Put the coal stone into the furnace inside it and wait for it to burn.
Li Tai attached the magnet to the iron barrel and then placed the copper coils. The coils were very dense and were wound around the iron pestle.
Several guards carefully connected it to the steam engine.
These magnets are strong magnets excavated from the Western Regions.
After a while, the steam engine started to sound, and the iron barrel made of magnets began to rotate. Li Tai watched the changes in the coil closely.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yan Liben said: "It was originally intended to be a locomotive."
Li Tai looked at the new steam engine that had just been built and said: "Let it be borrowed for use first, and then it will be installed on the front of the car."
It was the summer harvest season in August, and there were not many people in the factory. The villagers had all gone to collect grain.
Yan Liben said: "If Lishan only sells steam locomotives in the future, it will be able to make a lot of money, even more than Lishan could make before."
After living in Lishan for a long time, Li Tai no longer cares about money.
Having been in business with his brother-in-law for so long, he didn't know how much money he had. Every year, Lishan's profit sharing was delivered to his house by the truckload.
My brother-in-law holds a big share of the Lishan business. God knows how rich he is now.
This steam engine is very efficient and has a high speed.
Yan Liben kept recording the operating efficiency of each stage of the steam engine. A whistle sounded and the iron cylinder rotated faster.
Li Tai stared at the coil inside, but there was no change except for rotation.
This lasted for half an hour, and Li Tai stared at it for half an hour.
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of iron, and with self-doubt in his heart, he threw the iron piece into the iron cylinder.
When the iron material touches the copper wire, an electric light flashes.
"Um?"
Li Tai's eyes widened and he threw it at it again. Just like the last time, electricity exploded.
"Your Highness King Wei! Is that electricity?"
Li Tai thought, "It's different from the thunder seen in the sky, it can only be said to be a little bit different."
After that, he walked to the back of the steam engine and opened the air valve to release the air. The air pressure inside the steam engine was released from the air port.
It finally stopped spinning.
Li Tai took down the iron bucket, took the booklet his brother-in-law had given him, pulled out two copper wires, and said, "Catch a pig."
"Your Highness, King Wei, wants to eat pork?"
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly!"
"Here!" Li Tai's bodyguard hurriedly left.
Not long after, a pig was brought in, and Li Tai tied copper wires to the pig's two hind hooves.
"I want to verify the electromagnetism that my brother-in-law wrote in the book, but I still have doubts about it now."
Yan Liben asked doubtfully: "What to verify?"
Li Tai whispered: "If electromagnetism really exists, then this pig will be electrocuted to death."
"Electrocuted?"
"I have never heard of this kind of death."
After saying that, he connected the wheel of the steam engine again, closed the gas valve and added coal again.
This was the second trial, and the pig didn't know what it was going to face.
When the steam engine started to operate, the iron barrel containing magnets and copper wire also started to rotate.
Li Tai stared at the pig, but it showed no reaction.
Everyone sat down, drank tea, and stared at the changes. They saw the pig suddenly tremble, then became quiet again, and then trembled again a moment later.
The guard on the side asked curiously: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, why are there so many waves?"
Li Tai frowned and said, "It shouldn't be in bursts."
Finally the pig fell to the ground and became motionless.
It was approaching dusk, and today's verification was over. Li Tai asked his guards to kill the pigs aside.
Yan Liben was still taking notes.
Li Tai asked again: "What was the cause of death?"
The guard replied: "Your Highness, there are burnt marks on the joints of this pig's legs, and the internal organs..."
Li Tai didn't want to see the bloody scene, but he just listened to the guard's story. The pig's internal organs had long been broken open, but there were no wounds on the outside.
"What is certain now is that electricity does exist, and it can be a weapon that kills without blood."
Li Tai concluded and said: "What will happen if Master Yan puts the electromagnetic bucket in the steam locomotive?"
The pen in Yan Liben's hand was still writing, and he said: "It is a good idea to make full use of kinetic energy. We can talk more about this idea in the future."
After recording these, they put them in the mailbox at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and then everyone dispersed.
By the time Zhang Yang saw the experimental results of Li Tai and others, it was already after dinner.
The electromagnetic experiment was successful. Li Tai confirmed the existence of electromagnetism. Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Well, we can write the next scientific argument about electromagnetism."
Li Yue fed her youngest son food and whispered: "So, can we add another article to science?"
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "Let King Wei write it himself."
Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui picked up some volumes. The two girls also had to arrange the production after the summer harvest.
The next day, Li Tai read his brother-in-law's reply and wrote this argument. His brother-in-law and the emperor's sister had written an article before. It was the first article in Lishan Science, and it was about mechanics and optics.
"I really didn't expect that my brother-in-law and the emperor's sister would entrust such an important article to me."
Princess Wei asked curiously: "Since it was discovered by Lishan, why should this article be written and made public?"
Li Tai explained: "Lishan knowledge has never been hidden from the world. This is the second science of Lishan. When it appears in the outside world, the knowledge on it will naturally be discussed by the world, they will demonstrate it, and they will spread it.
"
"Lishan's knowledge has always been like this. He never hides his knowledge, but is willing to expose it to the world. And Lishan has always done this."
Princess Wei bowed slightly and said, "This should be remembered by the world."
Li Taizheng wrote, and said: "But there are many outside commentators and few practitioners. Perhaps this article will be regarded as absurd by most people and cannot be put on the table. My brother-in-law believes in the power of knowledge. This kind of article only needs to be written."
If someone talks about it, someone will remember it; if someone remembers it, someone will confirm it."
"So just write it down. As for the commotion outside, it has nothing to do with Lishan."
He wrote and narrated at the same time. When he finished speaking, the argument for the second part of Science was completed.
It is the summer harvest season in Guanzhong.
The second chapter of Lishan's Science was introduced to Chang'an City, and people circulated it among the people. People did not expect that this chapter was written by King Li Tai of Wei.
When thunder and lightning come from the sky, no one has ever said that humans can create electricity and use it for human use.
This kind of knowledge is still too far away for people, just like the first chapter of science, mechanics and optics.
There is also this article on electromagnetism, which cannot be intuitively expressed in production and life, and the discussion in the market stopped after that.
This second article has been seen by people in the Western Regions and will be spread to the Western Regions.
If the Tubo people see it, it will spread to Tubo.
Tian Khan is a charming person, and Lishan County Marquis is a mysterious person.
Regarding the deeds of Tian Khan and the Marquis of Lishan County, not only people in the Guanzhong are talking about it, but people outside the Guan are also interested.
On this day, Lishan specially invited the county magistrates of Xinfeng, Lantian and Weinan counties.
This time, the Marquis of Lishan County personally received them. Li Tai stood at the gate of the government office outside Lishan Village and said not to talk to the three county magistrates.
Because it was tiring to talk to these county magistrates, Li Tai felt that he no longer needed to communicate with them.
There are boundaries between people, and when there is a gap between knowledge and cognitive levels, it will be very difficult to talk to them.
During the last negotiation, Li Tai almost fell out with the magistrates of the twelve counties.
The three county magistrates came together, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I take the liberty of inviting three of you to come, it is really disturbing."
The county magistrate of Weinan County bowed and said: "Whenever Lishan gives orders, no subordinate dares to disobey."
The other two county magistrates also saluted and said, "Don't you dare disobey me."
Then the three of them faced Li Tai and saluted: "I have met His Highness the King of Wei."
Zhang Yang hung a map on the wall, which marked the location of the three counties. "I plan to borrow the land from the three counties to build a technical institute. Lishan has measured it, and the best location is the junction of the three counties."
