Chapter 64: Go hand in hand


   The delicious local pot chicken at night made everyone in the palace relieved.
   Xiao Ming let the servants of the palace eat their own leftovers is really not a violation of them, because this era is already scarce of materials, and eating leftovers is commonplace.
   Sometimes he will inevitably eat leftovers, not to mention that this local pot chicken is served in a large iron pot, which is no different from eating at a table.
What's more, the local pot chicken is the only delicacy in the country of Da Yu. Thinking of the thousands of delicacies in the science and technology library, Xiao Ming is secretly proud. The days after this are still long, and some have time to present the exquisite dishes one by one. .
   But now is not the time to consider luxury life, the most important thing is to make money.
After    Ding Wanquan, people came to visit him in the palace in the next few days, and all they did was Niuli overturned the car, and Xiao Ming sent it at the price of three hundred taels of silver.
  Some merchants are wealthy, but they don't care about the silver and buy it in pain. Some merchants hesitate, and some merchants simply give up, or go back to use their old waterwheel.
   These days, Wang Shijie and others have been thinking about overturning the car, but in the end they brought a lot of money and chose to buy it.
   Things have developed to this point. Xiao Ming basically has a good understanding of the current level of science and technology in the country. It seems that they cannot imitate his rolling bearings.
"His Royal Highness, these rolling bearings have been ordered for a total of about 5,000 sets these days. The equipment company is really too busy with such a large number. I suggest building another hydraulic lathe workshop. But if you want to produce another set of lathes, the craftsman will Can't get it."
   After Chen Wenlong went back, Chen Qi went to the Bo Wenxue hall every other time.
   On this day, Xiao Ming had just finished his lecture, and Chen Qi stepped forward and suggested to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming frowned. Now the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment has a lot of responsibility. Not to mention the briquettes, they also need to provide Zhang Liang’s shipyard with accessories for Galen ships, and also produce steel, coke, and waterwheel components. The order for multiple bearings naturally made Chen Qi very entangled.
These days, Xiao Ming is also thinking about this issue when he is in class. He feels that low-end technology cannot be used to occupy too many resources at present. For example, the production of briquettes is not profitable, but it also takes up a part of craftsmen. Not cost-effective.
   It also affects the layout of the industrial base. The current focus should be on steel production. In modern times, the symbol of a country’s strength is often steel production.
   Now he must have a trade-off.
   "In this way, how many craftsmen are currently responsible for the production of briquettes?" Xiao Ming asked.
   "Nowadays the briquettes are produced at least 300 pieces a day, and there are about fifty craftsmen working on this," Chen Qi said.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Now you transfer all these fifty craftsmen to produce hydraulic lathes such as grinders, boring machines, drilling machines, milling machines, and planers. In addition, the last batch of slaves purchased by Qingzhou local people was only 1,000, and the rest Two thousand people, half of them are arranged to go to steel production. Lieutenant Lu now has money in his hand and is rich in wealth. He shouted to use the money to buy armor from the king. The king promised to produce him a new set of armor. I will teach the craftsman myself."
   "New armor?" Chen Qi also came interested, "His Royal Highness, I will do the scales too."
"  " is not a scale armor, you will know it then." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
   Chen Qi scratched his head, scratching his ears and cheeks. He was anxious again.
   Lu Tong was very envious on the side, Chen Qi was about the same age as him, but now Chen Qi can be alone.
   Noting Lu Tong's expression, Xiao Ming said, "Don't worry, this king also has time to give it to you, which is considered a practice."
   "Really? Your Highness." Lu Tong immediately excited.
   He knew very well that only by being able to do things like Chen Qi, can it be reused in the future.
   Xiao Ming nodded, his training of Chen Qi and Lu Tong is different. Chen Qi's focus is on mechanics and physics, while Lu Tong's focus is on chemistry.
   In the past few days, he has been teaching these teenagers to read, now it is time to teach them chemistry.
   In this way, chemistry and physics can be carried out at the same time. After all, rare metals and alloys need to be extracted and synthesized by chemical methods. The future gunpowder also needs the support of chemical systems.
   The most important thing for him is materials science, because only qualified materials can support qualified products, so from now on, these two hundred people will be responsible for chemistry and materials research.
   "Naturally it is true, Ming RB King will teach you the production of alkali, this is your first project." Xiao Ming said.
   Lu Tong nodded, but was very confused because they still don’t understand what "alkali" is
   Xiao Ming asked the Department of Equipment to relieve a lot of burdens at once. Chen Qi was naturally the happiest. He said: "His Royal Highness, then I will go back and make arrangements, but what did the Wang family say?"
   "This is what the king told the Wang family." Xiao Ming said, he was going to package and sell the technology of the briquettes furnace. Anyway, the technology of briquettes was given to the Wang family, so this briquettes would not be delayed.
   Today’s teaching is over, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com Xiao Ming checked the learning situation of Lu Tong and others, and now they have mastered more than 300 common characters.
   Xiao Ming is very satisfied with this situation. His basic requirement now is to make these people literate, teach them basic chemical symbols, and then he will take them to the workshop area to specifically start the establishment of a chemical industry.
   The current workshop area is divided into two, half of which belongs to Chen Qi, and the other half is reserved for Lu Tong.
In the evening, Xiao Ming asked Wang Shijie to come and talked to them about the briquettes. Naturally, the Wang family was very happy that Xiao Ming packaged the technology for gas stove production to them, and Xiao Ming asked for a low price, only 50,000 yuan. Two silvers.
   But in this way, they truly control all the industrial chain of briquettes in six states.
"His Royal Highness, Brother Yu has one more thing to report to His Highness. Recently, our Wang family merchants in Cangzhou found out that some merchants from other places were smuggling horses, but these horses only stayed in His Royal Highness's fiefdom for a short time and went to Wei Wang's fief." Wang Shijie said. .
  "Smuggling horses?" Xiao Ming frowned, and he looked at Wang Shijie, "Your Wang family has been concerned about this very much?"
  Wang Shijie said: "His Royal Highness, the merchants who are pouring into Qingzhou are a mixed bag. Not everyone is well-intentioned. Brother Yu is also looking at these merchants for His Highness's sake."
   The local tycoons repelling foreign merchants, Xiao Ming had long expected. Wang Shijie said this beautifully, but he also betrayed the mentality of the Qingzhou.
   "How did they smuggle this horse? Why didn't anyone in Cangzhou talk about it to this king?" Xiao Ming's voice contained anger.
