Prince of Chaos

Chapter 470 The Watt of Xishan Huangzhuang

"Nurhachi actually sent troops to rob?"

Zhu Changluo saw the latest court war memorial sent by Xing Jie, and then Zhu Changluo put the memorial aside, and said: "Preparation."

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo's words, he immediately listened closely.

Zhu Changluo said: "Nurhachi, the governor of Jianzhou, is barbaric and unruly. He has no military discipline. He connives at his subordinates and kills Korean civilians. The circumstances are extremely bad. But thinking of his military exploits in the dynasty, he cut off the title of General Dragon and Tiger and was demoted to deputy of Jianzhou. The governor. His younger brother Shuerhaqi will act as the governor of Jianzhou. He is ordered to continue to perform crimes and meritorious deeds in the Korean battlefield. If he commits another act of harming the people, he will be handed over to a division for severe punishment."

After Wei Zhongxian received Zhu Changluo's will, he immediately sent it to the Supervisor of Rituals, and then the Supervisor of Rites wrote down the will according to Zhu Changluo's intention.

Then this decree was transferred to the cabinet again, and after being reconfirmed by the three elders of the cabinet, it was re-transcribed and polished, and then sent to Shangbaojian to be stamped with the emperor's seal.

After such a set of procedures, a legally binding imperial decree can be regarded as freshly released.

Otherwise, the imperial decree issued directly can only be called "Zhongzhi".

Although Zhongzhi also carries the will and authority of the imperial power, it may be rejected during the implementation process.Once this happens, the blow to the imperial power will undoubtedly be huge.

It can be seen from this that the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty actually had some real power.

Otherwise, how could they lead the Hundred Officials Hard Steel Emperor one after another?

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the immediate emperor Yongle, the rest of the emperors represented the supreme authority of the emperor.

However, in dealing with some matters, they have lost the arbitrary power of Gan Gang, and they have to compromise with the scholar-bureaucrats to govern the country.

Otherwise, the emperor would be passive if these scholar-bureaucrats acted in opposition to the yin and yang.

This is why since Xuanzong, the emperor wanted to break Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system, set up an inner study in the Forbidden City, and educate eunuchs to read and write.

Because only eunuchs who are completely bound under the imperial power will not violate the emperor's will, this also caused the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to like to use too much monitoring power.

This also formed the unique political system of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's dictatorship, eunuchs intervening in politics, and cabinet administration deformity.

Although the eunuchs who are the weak side are always stumbling in the process of operation, in the end, there will always be a few powerful eunuchs.

And this kind of big eunuch can't be as arrogant as the eunuchs in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Therefore, this deformed system also guaranteed the supremacy of imperial power invisibly.

Otherwise, the original Daojun Emperor would be held down by the civil servants at that time and call Emperor Xiaozong his father.

If there is no eunuch who represents the will of the imperial power as his white gloves, he would not even think about hiding in the west garden to practice alchemy and immortality, and to play with the power of the emperor.

However, as a time traveler, a person with power and control, Zhu Changluo hated this political system!
Although, sometimes in his heart, he also thinks about giving the common people a certain amount of democracy, dividing up some powers, and developing the future of Ming Dynasty.

However, when the power was not running smoothly in his hands, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but wonder if he should change the rules of the game and empty the cabinet.

However, now is clearly not the time.

Moreover, Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is still considered "reasonable", and in the eyes of some Qingliu, he is already comparable to Yan Song, a corrupt giant, so he will not deliberately refute himself for the sake of his safe landing in the future. the meaning of.

Therefore, there is no need for Zhu Changluo to rush to change the current stable situation.

However, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping are different.

Wang Xijue wanted to go further, so sometimes he would target Shen Shihang everywhere to express his thoughts, hoping to be taken seriously, so as to take over the position of chief assistant of Shen Shihang.

Zhu Changluo is also happy to see the success of this, after all, it is a good thing to be self-motivated.

If both the first assistant and the second assistant are in harmony, then he, the prince of the supervisory country, may be dismissed.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo's attitude towards Wang Xijue is also very ambiguous. When there is nothing to do, he asks Dong Qichang to find him in private, and secretly pass on his thoughts, so that he can continue to maintain his state and hope.

However, Wang Jiaping was different. This person used to be honest and transparent in the cabinet, but after a few years of precipitation, he actually had his own thoughts.

Moreover, more importantly, Zhu Changluo didn't have any handle on him yet, so Zhu Changluo couldn't handle him for a while.

What's more, in the eyes of Baiguan and Qingliu, he is still a perfect moral model, Qingliu resisted.

Zhu Changluo hated wearing these auras.

Now the Ming Dynasty is sluggish, closed up and down, and the court's financial difficulties are becoming more and more difficult.

What Zhu Changluo likes now are officials who can do things. Zhu Changluo hates the kind of moral people who can only stand on the moral high ground and give advice.

However, some unrealistic and hypocritical values ​​in Ming culture have not been corrected by Zhu Changluo.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo can't act too hastily. He has to wait for him to supervise the country for a period of time and his authority among the officials is improved again before he can further implement his ideas.

Otherwise, if you act rashly, you will definitely suffer from it instead of killing the snake!
Therefore, in order to hold more power in his hands, Zhu Changluo could only quietly endure for a while longer.

After dealing with the political affairs, Zhu Changluo didn't rest, he immediately had people prepare chariots and horses, and went to Xishan Huangzhuang.

Today, the Xishan Institute of Technology in Xishan Huangzhuang has a big job.

When Zhu Changluo saw the news of this big event, Zhu Changluo was very excited!
Therefore, after finishing his political affairs, he hurried to Xishan Huangzhuang.

I went directly to a large experimental site at Xishan Institute of Technology.

"Your Highness, it's done."

The engineer of Xishan Institute of Technology said to Zhu Changluo excitedly, his voice was trembling, obviously, they were also stunned by this invention.

Zhu Changluo looked at the extremely tall and ugly metal splicing monster in front of him, with little stars shining in his eyes.

Zhu Changluo was overjoyed, and he said in surprise: "Okay, okay. Try it out quickly and let Gu have a look."

The engineers of Xishan Institute of Technology immediately moved, opened the huge mouth of this metal giant, and then shoveled a shovel of coal and sent it inside.

The fire inside the giant metal monster instantly became stronger, and then Zhu Changluo saw an extremely thick white smoke coming out of the chimney above the monster's head.

Then on the other side of it, a protruding mechanical rocker arm began to swing mechanically, the speed gradually increased, and finally swinging evenly.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Changluo was about to shed tears of excitement.

Steam engine!
The steam engine has finally been built, although it looks ugly now, the design is still very ugly, and the volume is still extremely large.

However, it has moved.

From this moment, Zhu Changluo finally felt the great power brought by the industrial age!
Zhu Changluo, who was not afraid of being dirty or tired, shoveled a few shovels of coal and sent them to the furnace hall of the steam engine. Then, seeing the white smoke coming out and the swinging mechanical arm, he felt extremely satisfied.

Zhu Changluo asked, "Who did this?"

Chen Jinglun replied from the side: "Your Highness, this was made by a mid-level engineer from Xishan Institute of Technology."

Zhu Changluo said: "Call him over."

Then, Chen Jinglun immediately sent someone to call out the mid-level engineer who made the steam engine.

"The villain sees the prince."

A little radish head with a thin body and slightly panicked eyes came over and kowtowed directly to Zhu Changluo, even a little embarrassed to address him.

Although this person is so thin and small, like a carrot head, he is actually in his 20s.

And the reason why he is so thin and small is because his family was too poor when he was a child, and he couldn't eat anything, which caused him to be malnourished, so he grew up like this.

Zhu Changluo looked at this little radish, and he was surprised.

Zhu Changluo asked, "What's your name?"

The little luotou said: "The villain's name is Wang Xiaowa."

Looking at Wang Xiaowa's appearance, as soon as he heard his name, he knew that he didn't have an official name yet.

So, Zhu Changluo smiled slightly, and a wicked idea couldn't help popping up in his mind.

Zhu Changluo said: "You have made such great achievements today, how about giving you a name called Watt? From now on, you will be called Wang Watt."

Wang Xiaowa looked bewildered, Chen Jinglun and others saw Wang Xiaowa's sluggish look, and they immediately urged in a low voice: "Hurry up and thank you."

But Wang Xiaowa, who was always obedient, was not obedient this time.

He asked weakly: "Master Prince, can you give the villain a house? If the villain's family lacks a house, they can get married."

Zhu Changluo was taken aback, what's the matter?Is Daming like this too?Getting married and buying a house?
Zhu Changluo didn't continue to ponder this question, he smiled and said: "Yes, yes. You have made a steam engine, not to mention one house, even ten houses, even a single person can be rewarded. From today on, you are the vice president of Xishan Institute of Technology , enjoying the second-level management treatment of Xishan Huangzhuang. Gudu can give you a marriage for any girl you want to find as a wife."

Wang Xiaowa, oh no, Wang Watt was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately kowtowed his head in thanks: "The little man thanked the prince for his kindness!"

Seeing Wang Watt's happy appearance, Zhu Changluo was really moved.

He really didn't expect the steam engine to be made by such an unattractive young man.

Now, Zhu Changluo can be regarded as elated.

At least his ten years of hard work have not been in vain, and Xishan Huangzhuang can be considered to have cultivated top talents.

Although, Zhu Changluo didn't know who the person who actually invented the steam engine in the original history was.

However, according to what Zhu Changluo knew in later generations, the reason why Watt was able to overshadow the inventor of the steam engine was because he improved the steam engine, so he left his name in history.

This is similar to Cai Lun, the great eunuch of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who improved papermaking.

Therefore, in an attitude of respecting history, Zhu Changluo gave Wang Xiaowa the name of Watt.

From then on, when future students study the history of industrial development, they will still have the same memory as Zhu Changluo.

And this memory is—Watt!
After visiting the steam engine, Zhu Changluo took Wang Watt to chat. He wanted to know how Wang Watt broke through the difficulties to build the steam engine.

"Watt, tell Gu, how did you figure out how to build this steam engine?"

Zhu Changluo asked seriously.

Wang Watt looked at Zhu Changluo anxiously, and said in a low voice: "The villain was made after being inspired by the prince."

Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up, and he said, "How did Gu inspire you?"

Wang Watt said, "It's His Highness's teapot experiment."

"The teapot experiment?"

Zhu Changluo kind of forgot about it.

Wang Watt continued: "One time, the prince asked us to study the teapots that boiled water more in a speech. The villain kept this sentence in his heart. Then he observed those teapots that were boiled by boiling water every day. At first At that time, the villain didn't see any meaning in it. Later, once, the villain accidentally saw a small teapot with the lid knocked off after the water boiled."

"From that moment on, the villain suddenly realized that this might be the key point that the prince asked us to observe. Therefore, the villain began to think hard, thinking about how to use the power in the teapot. If you put your heart into it, in the end, the villain finally succeeded, and he built this steam engine."

When Wang Watt said these words, he was very excited, his eyes were full of light, he also forgot his fear, and his tone became passionate.

Zhu Changluo was really moved when he heard Wang Watt's words.

Unexpectedly, a seed he planted casually would take root and sprout so quickly.

Zhu Changluo continued to ask: "What difficulties did you encounter during this?"

Wang Watt said: "Back to the prince, the villain in the middle has indeed encountered a big problem. That is, the steam engine made by the villain is always leaking."

When Zhu Changluo heard it, this was indeed a big problem.

So Zhu Changluo asked, "How did you solve this big problem?"

Wang Watt replied: "Later, the villain heard that Mr. Chen brought back a kind of magical elastic beads from Dongzhou, which is the rubber that the prince said. So, the villain applied for a batch of rubber from the courtyard. After people made these rubbers into joint interface pads, this problem was solved."

After Zhu Changluo finished listening, he clapped his hands: "Miao Miao Miao! You actually thought of using the characteristics of rubber to solve the problem of air tightness. It's a talent cultivated by my West Mountain Huangzhuang."

"In the future, you should specialize in the study of steam engines. You should try your best to continue improving this steam engine, and strive to make it smaller and more powerful. Then, streamline its manufacturing standards. As long as you If you can achieve this level, I will not hesitate to give you a title, let you honor your ancestors and honor your family."

After the people standing aside heard Zhu Changluo's promise, they all looked at Wang Watt, the lucky one, with envy.They really didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have such a big hand, that he would confer a title on him!
This is an incredible reward!

Now in the entire Xishan Huangzhuang, the person who really won the title is Chen Zhenlong's son Chen Jinglun.

As for the Marquis from the Xishan Firearms Factory, he was only reserved for the title of knighthood.Moreover, it was still kept secret. Except for the firearms craftsmen inside the firearms factory, no one knew what Zhu Changluo was doing in the depths of Xishan.

Therefore, when they heard with their own ears that Zhu Changluo was going to be bestowed with a title for the steam engine, they were even more excited than Wang Watt himself!
