Chapter 275 Bicycle
The other officials looked at each other, then nodded, "Yes."
"Then the commentator mentioned Song Yingxing. Is it possible that we also have one in Daqi?"
this……
The officials thought about it for a long while before someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I just took a look at the introduction under the stone statue. It says that Song Yingxing was an inventor in the late Ming Dynasty. He should have lived in the late Ming Dynasty."
It has been a hundred years since the founding of Daqi, and at this moment, Song Yingxing is most likely not yet born.
Emperor Jingxuan sighed, feeling very regretful.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jian Yunsang had already followed the tour guide to the next item, which was a water pressure well.
The narrator said, "We all have running water now, and daily water use is very convenient. But in the 1970s and 1980s, pressurized wells were the more common means of obtaining water in rural areas. It mainly uses the principle of leverage to press the handle to extract groundwater. The production process of pressurized wells is relatively simple, but very practical. It can not only be used for daily water, but also plays an important role in irrigating farmland."
As she spoke, she walked to the side and said, "This is the blueprint of the water pressure well. Compared with the traditional water extraction method, this is more efficient. And compared with the well, it occupies less area."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned. This material used to build a water pressure well...
Jian Yunsang and the two children stayed for a long time. After looking at the water pumping well, they looked at the water wheel and the double-wheeled double-share plow. Because they walked slowly and listened carefully, they only finished half of the tour in one morning.
After lunch, they continued their stroll.
As they were almost at the exit, Jian Yunsang and the other two came to a model house, which simulated an adobe house built in the 1970s and 1980s. It contained some daily necessities, as well as a fenced yard with a stone mill and other items.
There are two bicycles parked at the door.
Emperor Jingxuan immediately said to the people beside him, "Quick, write it down."
Bicycles, compared to the cars they see more often, are obviously simpler in craftsmanship and more suitable for their current situation.
There is no need to rush for cars. They have already produced cement and started paving cement roads. With this bicycle, it is much more convenient than a horse-drawn carriage.
In fact, Emperor Jingxuan had long wanted the Ministry of Works to develop a bicycle. Unfortunately, except for the first day Chao Chao returned to the future world, when they were returning home from the forest in the suburbs, they never saw a bicycle through the car window again.
But at that time, all of this was too strange to them. They paid more attention to the tall buildings that flashed by. They only saw the silhouette of the bicycle and knew only that it had two wheels and had to be pedaled. The specific structure still needed to be studied by the Ministry of Industry.
But the Ministry of Industry doesn't have the time as it is already fully booked with other things to do.
Now I finally see it again!
Emperor Jingxuan coveted this thing, just seeing its iron frame...
Iron, it seems that most of the daily life in later generations is made of steel?
After looking at the last bicycle, Jian Yunsang finally prepared to go back with her two children.
The two children were obviously tired and soon fell asleep in the car.
This made Emperor Jingxuan unable to call Ashan to ask him questions about the blacksmithing process.
Forget it, let’s just make the models of today’s farm tools first.
It was almost dark when the car finally returned to Jinfeng Villa.
Chao Chao woke up and seeing that it was getting late, he invited Fei Fei, "How about you stay tonight? My bed is so big, we can talk in private at night."
Jian Yunsang laughed as she listened. In fact, when she was driving, Ms. Luo called her and asked her if she wanted to let Feifei stay overnight if the family issues were resolved.
After considering it, Ms. Luo said that as long as Feifei was willing, she would bother her for one more day.
Jian Yunsang knew that this matter would not have results so quickly, so he was not surprised.
After the two children agreed, they ate their dinner peacefully.
Feifei was a little timid when she came to the He family for the first time. She was timid to begin with, and she was even more afraid to speak in front of so many strangers.
Fortunately, the He family members are very friendly, at least they are more patient than Feifei’s grandmother.
This gradually made the little girl feel less anxious and her appetite improved a lot.
When he returned home, the sky was blocked and Emperor Jingxuan's mouth twitched.
He could only look at the drawings recorded by the officials of the Ministry of Works. He was concentrating on reading them when Cao Qing came in hurriedly and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, the memorial from the Ministry of Rites is about the post station."
Post station?
Emperor Jingxuan suddenly remembered that, yes, Lin Lan and the others were still living in the post station.
He rubbed his forehead and opened the memorial. It turned out that the Ministry of Rites was asking him about the arrangements for Lin Lan and the others.
Lin Lan and others wanted to return to Huaiping County. Ever since the emperor issued an imperial edict saying that he would vigorously develop science and technology and absorb talents, they couldn't wait to go back and learn more knowledge.
They may not necessarily be the ones who can write essays for the imperial examinations, but maybe they can make achievements in other areas?
Especially today, after following Chao Chao to visit the Agricultural Tools Museum and seeing so many tools that can help grow and harvest crops more efficiently, they became even more eager.
They are all serious farmers from Shangliu Village. They are used to working in the fields. Seeing so many farm tools, they feel a sense of familiarity in their hearts.
So he mustered up the courage and asked Mr. Guo to ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites. If they were no longer needed in the capital, then they should... go back first?
Mr. Guo now has a job. Although he is not an official, he has a formal position.
Emperor Jingxuan laughed. Yes, the last time Ah Shan started the machine, everyone in Shangliu Village returned to the post station. Later, he had too many things to do, so he didn’t even have time to go to the harem, let alone Lin Lan and the others.
He wrote an annotation on the memorial with his imperial pen and handed it to Cao Qing. "Okay, arrange for someone to send them back. There's no need for them to come to the palace to express their gratitude. Just be careful on the way."
After thinking for a while, he added, "We can set out early tomorrow morning and take the rewards with them."
"I accept your order."
Emperor Jingxuan arranged this matter, and soon after, he asked someone to draft another decree, "Let the Ministry of Works expand the number of workers recruited, and let the Ministry of Personnel add a few more officials to the Ministry of Works, and try not to miss out on talents in all aspects. Especially people like Song Yingxing mentioned on the sky curtain, they must not be left out."
When the Minister of Personnel received this decree, he could not help but turn his head to look at Yu Kangsheng. Seeing his face that was about to burst with laughter, he really wanted to punch him.
The Ministry of Industry is finally getting its due. Among the six ministries in the past, the Ministry of Industry was not only at the bottom, but was also an inconspicuous one. But now it is the most valued department.
If we can develop all kinds of good things in the future, it will be amazing.
