Ming Zuo

Chapter 813
Wu Xinyu did not add money in the end.

It's not that I don't want to add, but that I don't have money.

For doing business, Shandong has always been very honest.Once the money is collected here, the weapons will be in place on the other side.

Zheng Jiada is also a narrow-minded person.

He arranged for the delivery of the weapons sold to Hong Chengchou and Li Zicheng on the same day.

Moreover, the two groups of people were on the same school field, separated from each other.

Good guy, if it weren't for the new army to maintain in the middle, maybe the two sides would take up arms and fight immediately.

Only then did Gu Junen know that Hong Chengchou had also bought weapons from Shandong.

Doesn't that mean that the advantage over the Ming army will disappear in the future?

Like Wu Xinyu, he protested to Zheng Jiada.

Protest is invalid.

Zheng Jiada's rhetoric is exactly the same.

Shandong only sells weapons.

Whoever gives money will sell to whom.

As for how to use it, Shandong doesn't care.

Thinking that the advantage he had gained so hard was gone, Gu Junen was so anxious that he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately set off to return after getting the weapon.

At the same time, Wu Xinyu was also in a hurry to inform Hong Chengchou of the situation.

Gu Junen left from the south gate of Huai'an, and Wu Xinhe walked along the canal.

The two sides tacitly did not interfere with each other.

It's really half a dozen in strength, and no one can do anything to anyone.On the territory of Shandong, it was impossible to fight again.

He made two deals in one go and received nearly [-] taels of silver. Even Zuo Menggeng was alarmed.

"Tell Zheng Jiada not to break the connection with the two parties. After that... the business will continue."

Zuo Fu couldn't control his smile.

"Hong Chengchou and Li Zicheng must be very angry."

Zuo Menggeng didn't care.

"Do they have a choice? The conflict between them is irreconcilable, and it can only end with the complete defeat of one side. Before that, if they want to defeat each other, they can only buy weapons from us. What about the money? Earn nothing."

No one doesn't like white money.

Zuo Dai actually sighed.

"Hey, when will Zheng Zhilong fight the Dutch again? We still have a lot of weapons stored in the warehouse."

Only Zuo Menggeng knows that if there is no external force, there will be no conflict between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch within ten years.

The biggest sellers of weapons produced in Shandong will be the imperial court and the Northwest Rebel Army in the future.

With the upgrading of weapons, the intensity of the war between the two sides will definitely rise linearly.In this way, the demand for weapons is even more bottomless.

As the situation develops, only Shandong will be the cheapest in the end.

This feeling of selling weapons at both ends is really cool.

What makes it even more exciting is that there is great news from the Liangshan Coal Mine.

After hearing this, Zuo Menggeng immediately set off and rushed over.

The work in the mine here has stopped.

All the people were standing in the clearing, circling around a tall metal machine.

Qin Luo and Li Meizhi became the focus of the stars Gongyue.

The two young men were disheartened, but they didn't care about their appearance at this time, and kept checking around the metal machine.

Even when Zuo Menggeng came, neither of them stopped.

Just as Fu Xinyuan wanted to say hello, Zuo Menggeng stopped him and motioned him not to disturb their work.

And looking at the machine in front of him, Zuo Menggeng was really emotional and couldn't help himself.

How many years!

Finally got it out!

Qi Biaojia is also here, and he is also full of feelings about metal machines.

"This thing is really amazing. It took a few strokes to pump all the water in the tunnel. In the past, all the water was collected by manpower in the mine. It was exhausting, not to mention endless, which seriously affected the production of coal. "

Zuo Menggeng pointed to the metal machine and asserted: "This thing can not only pump water, but also change the world. Just watch, a great era is coming soon."

The machine made by Qin Luo and Li Meizhi is naturally a steam engine.

In class, Zuo Menggeng explained the principle of the steam engine, which aroused the great interest of Qin Luo and Li Meizhi.

Since then, they have organized some like-minded classmates to jointly develop steam engines.

Although there are principles and guidance provided by Zuo Menggeng, this group of young people started to develop without foundation, and experienced countless difficulties in the middle.

Qin Luo was fourteen years old and Li Meizhi was thirteen when they first started developing steam engines.But now that both of them are adults, they have finally achieved results.

Who would have thought that a young man with a lush and lush body would be able to endure loneliness, and spent many years on this matter.

But the result is still gratifying.

Zuo Menggeng walked closer and observed carefully, and found that the steam engine in front of him was as tall as three people and with a radius of three meters, and it already looked good.

"Uncle Zuo, we have completed the preliminary experiment, and the effect of pumping water is very good. We will build a few more in the future, and they can be used in various mines."

Qin Luo wiped his face, and as a result, five black marks appeared on his face, which was extremely funny.

Zuo Menggeng took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully for him.

"Can it only pump water? What about other functions?"

Qin Luo and Li Meizhi's understanding of steam engines is far more comprehensive than that of Watt a hundred years later.

Because all their knowledge comes from Zuo Menggeng.

Zuo Menggengzi naturally had no reservations about this kind of era-creating weapon when he taught it.

So even though they had just created the world's first simple steam engine, they knew exactly what it was for.

Hearing Zuo Menggeng's question, Li Meizhi shook her head helplessly.

"Nowadays we can only pump water, even if it takes one day to use it, it needs to be overhauled for one day. We have to study how to power the ship."

The steam engine in front of him only realized the simplest function, which was to help the mine pump water.

But even so, there is still no way to work for a long time, and the probability of failure is very high.

As for getting it on a ship to act as a power output, that's even more of a matter of time.

It's not as simple as just moving the steam engine to the ship.

The water is no different from the land, with constant ups and downs, and it is very likely that the slightest shaking will cause the steam engine to fall apart.

Until the problem of the firmness of the steam engine is completely solved, it is absolutely impossible to board the ship.

Another one, pumping and transmission are two different principles of work.

Qin Luo and Li Meizhi have just solved a workmanship method, and they still need a lot of time to figure out how to do the transmission.

I am afraid that within twenty years, it is impossible for the steam engine to be applied to navigation.

But even so, the contributions of Qin Luo and Li Mingzhi are already great enough.

A day later, in the auditorium of Anshan Lake Industrial Park, Zuo Menggeng, under the witness of countless people, awarded the first-ever medals to them.

This newly produced medal is in the shape of a Xia Ding, made of pure gold, and is inlaid with precious Hetian jade around it.

However, the value of the medal cannot be compared with the four words engraved on it.

Those four words are...
