Humane Yongchang

Chapter 418 The Steam Engine

"Master, please rest assured, this disciple has already prepared for this matter!"

Lu Shu replied confidently.

Chen Sheng nodded, looked up at the hot field, and sighed, "It's April again!"

Lu Shu interjected: "That's right, an inch of spring is worth a thousand dollars, and we have to hurry up. This year, my disciples plan to open another [-] hectares of paddy fields in Yangzhou to plant hybrid rice. In addition, Yangzhou has many water networks and lakes, which are suitable for planting rice. The seeds of this kind of crops can be used as substitutes for grains, and the stems can be used as substitutes for melons and fruits. If they can be domesticated, perhaps our great man can get another magic weapon after hybrid rice. Also, the "comprehensive agriculture" taught by the teacher last year , the disciples have also researched some signs..."

The old man snapped his fingers, breaking off the affairs in his hand one by one, as if reminding himself to do more work, and as if reporting work to Chen Sheng, the great king and master.

Chen Sheng listened carefully, and couldn't help but smile a little while sleeping.

The posture of the sub-sage is the posture of the sub-sage after all.

He just raised a head, and Lu Shu really spread it out and landed one by one!

Perhaps this is the real master leading the door, and the practice lies in the individual.

"very good!"

After Lu Shu finished his report, Chen Sheng nodded approvingly, and said with a red heart on his face: "Your current farm attainments are no longer below that of being a teacher, and even surpass them. How the farm develops in the future depends Let's see how you lead the peasant disciples to open up the way forward, there is nothing I can teach you as a teacher!"

Lu Shu was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words, then came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I know my mistake, please don't drive me out of the school!"

Chen Sheng helped him up with a smile, and said in a slow tone: "You didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, you did a good job, even better than what you expected as a teacher. We are in a different place, and a teacher may not have you." Today's achievements, I need to be more confident, although I don't know how seniority is judged within the farming family, but in my eyes, the leader of the Kyushu farming family, I don't think of anyone other than you!"

"Every step you take in the future is not only opening up the way for the farmers, but also opening up the way for our people. Some people are destined to turn into bones in the grave, but you, Lu Shu, are destined to In the name of the ancestor of the farm family, it will be immortalized and praised through the ages!"

"I am proud of you as a teacher!"

After hearing this, Lu Shu was terrified. Regardless of Chen Sheng's support, he forcibly knelt down and saluted, and said in a mournful voice: "The reason why my disciple is here today is because the master does not think the disciple is old and despicable. Forget it, if you want to revive the farmer, you have to bid farewell to the master, and this disciple is willing to rule the land for the master forever!"

It may be a bit funny to others that the old man with Huafa kneels and worships like a young man who is double tenth in the posture of a junior.

But for the two of them, there are only bits and pieces of memories of the past four years together in Qianmo flowing in their hearts...

Chen Sheng reached out to help, but Lu Shu's burly body seemed to have taken root. He exerted [-]% of his strength, but Lu Shu didn't move a muscle.

He could only open his mouth and say: "You and I have different ways, why are you bothering?"

Lu Shu looked up at him, his old eyes were cloudy but he was not at all confused, and he smiled and said, "Different roads can lead to the same goal. Isn't the goal of the master and disciples to make our big man prosperous and prosperous, and the folks and elders have food to fill their stomachs and clothes to keep out the cold?" ?"

Chen Sheng shook his head, and said helplessly: "You know, you are already on the road of becoming a saint. If you insist on taking the order of your master again, the achievements and merits you deserve will be attributed to your teacher. ?”

Lu Shu shook his head resolutely: "I don't know what conferring sainthood is, nor what merits and virtues are. I only know that I am a tenant of the Zhang family. It is because of my master's favor that I can hear the best principles of the farm. It is all because of my care Only by cultivating can you live like a human being... The grace of re-creation is greater than the sky, and the disciples have nothing to repay, and I only wish to serve the master for life and life, and please master the disciples!"

Chen Sheng pondered for a long time, then sighed Lian Sheng lightly and said: "Come on, let's go!"

Lu Shu was overjoyed, and he kowtowed heavily and said, "Thank you Master for your success!"

Chen Sheng reached out to help again, and Lu Shu immediately stood up swiftly.

"What you just said about domesticating rice is very good. With limited land, we can produce as much food as possible according to local conditions."

Chen Sheng seemed to have nothing happened, and said seriously: "But in my opinion, it's not good enough, it's still a bit petty!"

"There are not only five grains for a full stomach, and Kyushu is not the only one in the world. Kyushu can't find a staple food that is high-yield, easy to feed, and resistant to pests. It doesn't mean that the grasslands in northern Xinjiang and the endless mountain forests in South Vietnam can't be found either!"

"Not all races in the world feed on five grains like our Chinese descendants. Different regions have different grains, and different grains are planted in different lands, and they will have different yields." , born in Huaibei is the principle of trifoliate, I don’t think I need to teach you!”

"The same is true for domestic animals. In different places, there are subtle differences in the types of pigs, cattle and sheep. Some have strong bones, some have more meat, and some grow fast. We cannot cultivate a certain type of pigs into what we want. If we collect more domesticated and crossbred pigs that grow fast and strong, we may be able to obtain a stable breed that meets our requirements!"

"Of course, what I said may not be possible, but this can be used as an important breakthrough for farmers to break through the current restrictions!"

"Ten thousand steps back, even if we can't meet our expectations, the abundance of food, vegetables, and livestock can greatly alleviate the food crisis, right?"

Lu Shu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and there seemed to be countless thoughts colliding in his mind, sparking brilliant sparks!

He looked at Chen Sheng ecstatically, as if saying: "We knew that we were still separated by several mountains from your realm!" '

Chen Sheng smiled, but did not speak.

He didn't lie to Lu Shu.

After becoming a cultivator, his understanding of the vitality of heaven and earth, luck and even the rules became more and more profound.

He could clearly perceive that a large part of the huge luck that should have shrouded Lu Shu's body had shunted to him.

As for the reason, Chen Sheng only stroked it briefly, and then estimated the reason to be close to ten.

Lu Shu was his disciple.

All of Lu Shu's research projects are under his banner.

Lu Shu also declared that all research results, including hybrid rice, are his painstaking efforts.

And as far as Chen Sheng knew, the important prerequisite for becoming a saint was to have something of his own.

It's not that you have to take an unusual path.

It means that even if you reach the peak along the road traveled by the predecessors, in the end you must use your own things as the pedal to hope to make further progress.

Just like the study of the mind is to Confucianism...

Chen Sheng really didn't want to cut off his own path, so he ordered Lu Shu to set up a separate company and take the lead in research projects.

With Lu Shu's current level, as well as the group of "experimental equipment" monsters in his hand, and the huge group of farm disciples spread across 36 counties in four states in Han, he also has the strength and conditions to independently conduct "agricultural" research!
At most, without him to grasp the direction, maybe there will be some detours.

But with hybrid rice as the foundation, even if Lu Shu takes a detour, he will definitely be canonized earlier than continuing to carry out project research under his banner.

It's a pity that this old guy was crying, and he looked like he would kowtow to the ground if Chen Sheng dared to drive him out of the school. Chen Sheng really had nothing to do with him.

There may be people who keep turning against each other in order to carry good intentions to the end.

But Chen Sheng is absolutely not!
But it's okay, since Lu Shu refuses to stand on his own and eat alone.

Then their master and apprentice will work together...to make the cake bigger!

Although because of the relationship between master and apprentice, most of the luck gathered on Lu Shu's body was diverted to him.

But in the end, a small half remained on Lu Shu.

Although it is not much, but over time, the rope saws the wood and the water drops through the stone!
Don't look at this old man with a lot of white hair and white beard, Chen Sheng weighed it just now, and he was sure that if he casually ran into this old man, he would beat him to death with a crop stick!
As for how to make the cake bigger...Just now, Chen Sheng remembered two artifacts that he had long forgotten!
Typography!
newspaper!

Just when Chen Sheng was in full bloom, and he connected the newspaper with key words such as military spirit, popular sentiment, equality, common hatred, etc. in just a few moments, a royal guard in a helmet suddenly left the crowd and walked hurriedly. He rushed to Chen Sheng's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows in astonishment, and patted Lu Shu's arm casually: "You should keep an eye on this side first, there is something new in Plum Blossom Villa, masters, please let me go and have a look!"

Lu Shu, who was still immersed in divergent thinking, suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly raised his hands and said, "Respectfully, Master!"

Chen Sheng nodded, turned around, and under the protection of a group of royal guards "difficult", separated from the group of persevering and covetous female hooligans, and left in a hurry.

……

The Plum Blossom Villa, which moved eastward, is located behind the barracks of the North Gate Garrison in the northeast corner of Jinling City.

The outer layer is guarded by an entire garrison regiment, the inner layer is guarded by a thousand red-clothed elite soldiers around the clock, and the inner layer is guarded by a hundred royal guards.

Without Chen Sheng's Wang Ling, even Chen Shou's relatives would not be able to enter the gate of Plum Blossom Villa, and even the craftsmen inside Plum Blossom Villa could only leave Plum Blossom Villa through secret roads accompanied by the royal guards when they went out or returned home.

The guards are so strict, second only to Changning Palace!

This kind of strict guarding is not achieved overnight.

Instead, as more and more important items were sealed inside the Plum Blossom Villa, the guard force was gradually increased to this level gradually.

You know, even the Chen Family Courtyard in Chang'an District is not guarded by royal guards, but there is a centurion here!

As for the importance of those important items sealed up in Plum Blossom Villa, I can cite a very representative item: gunpowder!
As soon as Chen Sheng walked to the gate of Plum Blossom Villa, before entering the door, he heard a burst of "dang, clang, clang" sound of iron being struck.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a large number of stained masters with chicken coops on their heads, hanging shoulders and shoulders in front of a large machine that was as high as a two-story building and looked like chickens pecking at rice in an oil field. , that large machine is still rising with white mist!
"Awesome!"

Chen Sheng's eyes followed the white mist slowly rising, and he exclaimed: "You guys really made a steam engine!"

"The king is here, the king is here!"

"My lord, my lord, come and take a look, the steam engine has just been adjusted!"

"My lord, what you said can pull the front of a leather iron carriage dozens of feet away, are you using it as a cow and horse..."

A group of master craftsmen noticed Chen Sheng's arrival, they rushed up with green eyes, surrounded him like wolves and tigers, and asked questions in one go.

The smell of stinky feet hits the face, it is so hot to the eyes!

"You bastards!"

Chen Sheng could barely breathe: "How many times have I told you that you have to take a bath for up to half a month. How long has it been since you took a bath? It's all fucking overwhelmed!"

Hearing his angry scolding, the group of mallets casually pulled up their gleaming robes and sniffed them, and then loudly said proudly instead of ashamed: "A man, how can he not be masculine!"

"Right, right, Master Li's words are very suitable for us!"

"Didn't your majesty always say 'an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold can hardly buy an inch of time'? The prosperity of our great man is still waiting for us to create it. How can we spend time on trivial matters?"

"That's right, we bad old men don't look for aunts and aunts, why are we so clean?"

Chen Sheng rubbed his forehead speechlessly, completely forgetting that when he was laying here and forgetting to eat and sleep with these sticks, it was also their virtue.

Plum Blossom Villa is based on the leaders from all walks of life gathered in Chenjun when he first set up Plum Blossom Villa. Afterwards, it has been supplemented by carefully selected small-scale personnel many times. Today, craftsmen from all walks of life in the villa The number of teachers has reached five hundred.

Among the 500 people, although there are no public losers or Jimo branches who represent the peak of Kyushu's current craftsman skills.

But after reading many secret records of Chen Sheng from public losers and prostitutes, and after studying so many projects with him.

Chen Sheng believes that these people are already comparable to public losers and skilled ink, and even worse!

How about it... just look at these sticks and sticks, just relying on Chen Sheng's original pot of boiling water and a few words, to forcibly build such a primitive steam engine, you can see how superb the skills of these people are!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Like blowflies, Chen Sheng drove away the group of clubs that were slamming in front of their eyes, and strode to the steam engine that was still running.

I saw a large iron ingot installed under the water pump rod of this primitive steam engine that looked like a pumping unit.

An anvil was placed under the iron ingot, and a large iron ingot was placed on the anvil, and the iron ingot was being forged up and down...

'Hey guy, this is an iron machine! '

Chen Sheng murmured secretly, turned around and looked around at the group of hammers and said, "That master, come and explain to me..."
