Chapter 791 Private interviews with micro-services (5)
Things won't always go according to your guess.
Zhao Xi had always been worried that the vehicles prepared by the Imperial City Division would be eye-catching. For his own safety, Zhao Xi was not surprised that Wang Zhongzheng found a chariot. Unexpectedly, what Zhao Xi saw was a different scene. Unexpectedly, the emperor
What Chengji found was a rather plain carriage.
"Guan Jia, City Lord Su said that this car embodies the essence of all the craftsmanship in Workshop City..."
"Is it a prototype car?"
"Back at the official house, City Master Su said this is the latest prototype car."
Zhao Xi knows that every time the core skills of Workshop City are improved, they will try to make some items, and vehicles are one of them. Due to regulatory reasons, prototype vehicles cannot be made according to official specifications, so prototype vehicles are basically
The kind of vehicle that has no features whatsoever.
However, Zhao Xi was somewhat looking forward to the so-called latest prototype car.
Now, even Zhao Xi doesn't know how far the craftsmanship in Gongfang City has developed. Zhao Xi is truly a leader and doesn't interfere much with the development of this era.
Zhao Xi didn't understand the systems and structures of later generations of vehicles, but he also knew about load-carrying, steering, and things like controllability and comfort.
Once upon a time, Zhao Xi also casually talked about this in the martial arts hall. He was sure that these contents were contained in the records of the martial arts hall. As a person who experienced it, Su Song knew it all.
Of course, Zhao Xi did not simply describe it according to what later generations would call it, but explained it in a roundabout way from the perspective of riding experience and driving experience.
Therefore, when Zhao Xi saw this car, he first took a look at the so-called territory...
Bearings? Did Su Song really tinker with bearings? What Zhao Xi originally proposed was just an idea. The method involved was to arrange a few marbles side by side and then roll them forward. Unexpectedly, Su Song actually made a bearing.
Looking at the supports and shock absorbers, the load capacity of the entire carriage has begun to take shape. Even the steering can be seen on this carriage. All the objects are very simple, but Zhao Xi saw the industrial foundation of the entire country.

"Zhongzheng, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate some money and food, and give heavy rewards to all the officials and craftsmen involved in this car! The great achievements of the country are all made by the great meritorious officials!"
Being able to see such a carriage and see the great breakthrough in craftsmanship in the workshop city was the biggest gain after Zhao Xi decided to pay a private visit incognito.
After Zhao Xi took office, he had already made great efforts to pay attention to the development in this area. Because he himself could not make the theoretical basis into a system, all he could do was to provide some directions. Su Song, Shen Kuo and others really did not
Let him down.
"Who did the officials ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward? For what reason?"
"Rich Prime Minister..."
Zhao Xi originally thought that the cabinet would let younger cabinet ministers such as Wang Anshi and Lu Gongzhu accompany him for a private visit, but he did not expect that it would be Fu Bi.
"The official family, the center of the ministers, is the one that least needs to be present in person. Besides, with the prince staying behind, the veteran ministers are the only ones in the cabinet who have free time in the busy government."
Fu Bi's words still contained a bit of resentment. The imperial court was extremely busy, but the officials wanted to visit privately. What he said yesterday was originally just to dissuade the officials, but the result was like this.
Fu Bi and even the cabinet did not dare to guess what the official family meant. The prince also arrived at Qinzheng Palace early and early, but the official family left the palace and there was no order for the prince to supervise the country... Some ministerial affairs
We really can't make random guesses.
However, Fu Bi's words still mean something. He is just seeking truth from facts.
"Officials, who are you going to reward? For what reason? Do you need to be rewarded by the imperial court as well?"
Since it is a great achievement of the country and a great hero, the court should also express it.
"Fu Xiang, this is the car I'm talking about...it seems to be no different from an ordinary car. As long as Fu Xiang understands the craftsmanship involved, he will also be willing to reward it like me."
"Rich Prime Minister, take a look at the wheel hub first..."
"Officials, old ministers don't understand, so what is this?"
"This is the bearing. Wang Zhongzheng, slowly let the car start..."
Nothing is more convincing than examples. As long as the vehicle is moving, with Fu Bi's IQ, it is easy to see the wide range of applications of this thing.
"Guan Jia, this is used for vehicles. If it is used for water wheels, it is used for bed crossbows, it is used for..."
"Fu Xiang, it is indeed true. This is almost the foundation of many industries, or it can greatly increase the production capacity of many industries. This is why I reward you and I am ready to reward all the ministers and craftsmen who participated in this work."
Although Zhao Xi is not very clear about the purpose of bearings, he also knows that the range of use of bearings is quite wide.
"For officials, there is no need for titles. There have been a lot of wars in the imperial court in recent years, and there have been many titles awarded, so the number of titles in the court has been overflowing. Nowadays, new territories such as the northwest and southwest need a lot of officials, so it is better to give them some favors.
The officials will make up for the vacancies in the new territory."
Originally known as one of the three redundant officials, who would have thought that there would be a shortage of officials...
Zhao Xi was in a good mood when traveling today. Even Fu Bi's insinuations did not affect Zhao Xi's mood.
Once some doors are opened, their inherent attractiveness will allow many aspiring people to walk in, and eventually the change will change from quantitative to qualitative.
Zhao Xi believes that Guochao's craftsmanship will eventually turn into technology, and will eventually usher in the so-called vigorous development... This will not be affected by human will.
Today's trip is in Yangwu County. As for the reason, Zhao Xi remembers that in the early days of the Zhenghe period, when Wang Anshi was implementing the farmland water conservancy law, he mentioned that Yangwu County should release silt and transform the soil to grow rice.
Yesterday I saw the trade of Guochao in Bianliang, and today Zhao Xi wants to see the farming of Guochao. Today's Yangwu County should be Yuanyang County in later generations. And Yuanyang rice in later generations was famous all over the world, but I don't know what Yangwu County is now.
Wu, under the initiative of Wang Anshi to release silt and transform the soil to grow rice, did it take shape?
Yangwu County is located in the northwest of Bianliang, more than a hundred miles away from Bianliang, and needs to cross the Yellow River.
Zhao Xi did not necessarily want to reach Yangwu County, he just wanted to see the farming of the Guo Dynasty, or to see whether Yuanyang rice, which was famous in later generations, sprouted in this era.
Wang Anshi's farmland water conservancy law was not based on the emergence of Zhao Xi, but existed in history.
Around Bianliang, there are many ferry bridges connecting the north and south banks of the Yellow River. The prosperous trade of the country and dynasty even has bridges that can pass through the tracks. There are countless people crossing the river, like the carriages Zhao Xi and his party are riding in.
"Guan, this carriage is not bumpy. Gongfangcheng has really taken care of it."
"This is a shock absorber, that is, shock absorption. Under the support of the carriage, steel sheets with a buffering effect are added, which can move with the bumps on the road, so that the passengers do not feel the bumps..."
"What do the officials want from this trip?"
"Bianliang is the distribution center for commerce and trade between the Kingdom and the Dynasty. You can understand the commerce and trade between the Kingdom and the Dynasty by looking at Bianliang Commerce and Industry. My purpose of this trip is to see the agriculture and mulberry cultivation of the Kingdom of China and the Dynasty."
"The Prime Minister also knows that since the beginning of the Zhenghe period, I have spent the least time on farming and mulberry farming, or the entire country has also invested the least on farming and mulberry farming. Come out and take a look, understand the most basic situation, and enter a relatively new era in the country.
After the stabilization period, the court should properly focus on the promulgation of some agricultural and mulberry-related policies."
