After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 365 Many Problems Caused by Steam Turbines
"Since the steam turbine can make the textile machine turn by itself, can it be used on a carriage to make the wheels turn?" Yang Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "Then we don't need horses, but use steam turbines to pull carts."

"At the speed at which the steam turbine rotates, the steam-wheel carriage is probably dozens of times faster than the ordinary carriage."

"Then we don't have to worry about the long transportation time for the southwestern cocoons to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Good idea! Craftsmen can indeed study this aspect." Zhu Yuanzhang praised, "I didn't expect us laymen who have never been exposed to technology to occasionally come up with whimsical ideas. Not bad, not bad."

"As the saying goes, everyone is too hot. This is called brainstorming." Li Shan said long.

"But without the basic knowledge of mechanical movement, even if we have good ideas, we can't make them come true." Liu Bowen said, "After all, it involves many advanced theories that we don't understand, and we can't do it just by having ideas. of."

"Isn't Fu Buqian, the giant of the Mohist school, good at mechanics? The mechanism they created more than 1000 years ago is amazing. The mechanism bird developed by Lu Ban back then can fly in the sky for three days and three nights without falling.

If you let him participate in it, the research on the steam wheel will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "Wang Guangyang suggested.

"According to my opinion, I have to ask Mr. Qin for advice on this aspect. After all, he is the originator of this convenience." Song Guogong Feng Sheng reminded.

"Well, let's do both." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Next time, let's go to Lujia Village and ask the master about the technology of the steam wheel. At the same time, let the Mohist giants use their mechanical techniques to study the steam wheel."

"Let's see if the Mohist's technology can reach the height of Mr. Qin."

"Your Majesty!" said the ministers.

"Now my first steam turbine spinning machine in Ming Dynasty has been born, please give it a name from the emperor!" Li Shanchang clasped his hands.In ancient times, every time something was invented, it had to be given a rather awesome name.

For example, Hongwu Cannon, Red Clothes Cannon, Shenhuo Flying Crow...

"Let's call him Hongwu Spinning Machine." Zhu Yuanzhang said.His level of naming is really not flattering, and he couldn't think of a good name, so he added the word Hongwu in front, such as Hongwu Cannon and Hongwu Baochao.

The treasure banknotes of the Song Dynasty were called "Jiaozi", so the emperor's year name was not used at that time.

Although such a name has no artistic atmosphere, it can also immediately show the imprint of the times, and let people know it belongs to that era at once.

Few people know which emperor made Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty, but when it comes to Hongwu cannons and Hongwu treasure banknotes, people know that it was made by Emperor Hongwu, which is convenient for future generations to remember.

"Good name!" said the crowd.

"Your Majesty, once the Hongwu spinning machine is put into use, the silk production in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely increase significantly." Liu Bowen said, "With so much silk, it is more than enough to supply overseas countries, and there will be a lot left."

"The remaining silk can only be sold domestically, and the dignitaries may not be able to use it up."

"Therefore, I suggest that the prohibition that the common people cannot wear silk be lifted!"

"In what age, do you still not respect the people wearing silk? We have long since practiced freedom, equality, and sharing the world with the people!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with wide eyes, "Why is such an unreasonable ban still in place?"

"Eliminate everything, abolish everything!"

The Ming Dynasty just overthrew the ideological rule of Confucianism and implemented freedom and equality.

However, Confucianism is too poisonous, and there must be many remaining evils and rules.He definitely couldn't clean it up in a very short period of time, he could only clean it up slowly, finding one and clearing it up one by one.

Just like a towering tree, only its main trunk has been cut off, and its thousands of roots are still buried deep.

It is not a matter of a day or two to completely clean up.

"Observe the decree!" The ministers led the decree.

Moreover, they all agreed from the bottom of their hearts to allow the common people to wear silk. With the Hongwu spinning machine, the silk produced could not be used up, and the excess silk could not be put in the warehouse to become moldy.

"Your majesty is wise!" Shen Wansan said.

Only he knows how big the market for the common people is.

In the past, only dignitaries and dignitaries were allowed to wear silk, which greatly restricted the production of the textile industry.The silk bought by the upper class was less than one-thousandth of what the common people bought. He immediately realized that the emperor's move had greatly revitalized the 'domestic demand'.

"Your Majesty, let the southwestern region plant mulberry trees on a large scale. Although rice has not been changed to mulberry, it will undoubtedly have an impact on its food production." Yang Xiandao, "Therefore, I propose that the grain in the south of the Yangtze River should be transported to the southwest region for relief. them."

"For three years."

"That's right, it should be done." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Chang Shi Zhou Bin, you are in charge of handling this matter. Assist Zhejiang Chief Political Commissioner Yang Shi and Anhui Chief Political Commissioner Wang Zhen to distribute grain to the southwest."

"I obey the order!" Zhou Bin said.

"Your Majesty, the steam turbine uses the power of steam to overwhelm the world. With the steam turbine, many powerful things can be produced, so it is the most important weapon of the country!" At this time, Yang Xian said.

"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after listening.

The importance of the steam turbine does not lie in itself, but in the fact that it can be used to create many things, such as steam turbines, steam ships... He has seen the mobility of steam ships with his own eyes.

This thing can be made by the Ming Dynasty, and Westerners and Dongyi people can also learn from it.

It must not be kept secret and easily shown to others.

So he planned to keep the secret of the steam turbine firmly in Jin Yiwei's hands.

"My Ming steam turbine has just been put into use. This is a national secret. Anyone who leaks information about the steam turbine will be punished as a rebel!"

"Although the secrets in it are destined not to be hidden, they must be hidden for at least 50 years before they are released. By then, we will have been 50 years ahead of others, and we will always be ahead of other countries."

"Follow the order!" The ministers took the order.

"In addition, our emperor has also built a steamship, which can sail rapidly on the sea without oarsmen or wind power. The decree is to use the steamship to transport troops to the country of Japan to support King Yan's campaign to conquer Japan!"

"According to the order!"

Many problems caused by steam turbines were solved one by one.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the officials.

"Your Majesty, the expedition fleet in the west has returned, and they brought back something called rubber!" As soon as they returned to the palace, someone came to report.

"Great!" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed. "The steam turbine lacks airtightness due to the lack of rubber. We used hemp rope and chicken feathers to seal it before. With rubber, the efficiency of the steam turbine will be improved to a higher level."

All this knowledge was told to him by Zhu Biao.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma came to Lujia Village.

Although they knew that there would be no danger for him to attack Tangjia Village, after all, he led it and Xu Da commanded it, but they were still a little worried.
