Lord Moyu was forced to open

When Zhao Jun received the news of the old man's location, what he saw was this strange and spectacular scene.

On the street that was supposed to be crowded with people, suddenly there was an out of place scene.

A large group of people formed a circle, with their old man at the center, looking down at something with their heads down.

What's more, he also found the figure of Marquis Wu Xunjie in the crowd, his demeanor was no different from others!
Zhao Jun was stunned, carefully passing through the crowd, came behind Zhao Duan and looked at the ground where everyone was looking at, with a puzzled expression on his face.What are these people looking at?
After seeing the reaction on his old man's face, Zhao Jun asked directly, "What are you looking at?"

"Hey hey!"

His sound awakened Zhao Duan from his immersion in an instant.

Everyone was taken aback. When they turned around and saw that it was him, they immediately said angrily, "You brat, you are standing next to me all of a sudden, are you walking silently? Don't you know that it's easy to scare people to death?"

Zhao Jun scratched his head and continued to ask: "Then what are you looking at so seriously?"

Only then did Zhao Duan come back to his senses, pointing to the floor excitedly and said: "What kind of material are you here? I look like mud but not like mud. It's hard to hit. If it's used as a city wall thief, explain it!
It's much better than glued with glutinous rice! "

Only then did Zhao Jun understand what the old man was attracted to, and he said with a smile: "You just look at the cement here?
You make such a big fuss about a little cement? "

Zhao Duan was taken aback, what's the big deal?I just look at the cement and see what's going on.

But when he looked up, he saw pairs of dead fish eyes staring at him.

They heard the conversation between the father and son clearly just now, and they thought this guy had discovered something extraordinary, but in the end, the relationship had never seen the world, and they regarded cement as a good thing!
What's even more ridiculous is that my group of people squatted down and studied with him out of curiosity. In an instant, everyone felt their faces were burning and painful, as if they were being slapped in the face.

Zhao Duan looked up and was stunned when he saw this scene. At this time, Zhao Jun leaned over to him and whispered: "Old man, if I were you, I would run away now, otherwise I will wait until they have accumulated enough anger. Sometimes you can’t run away even if you want to.”

After Zhao Duan listened carefully, he found that anger was slowly accumulating in everyone's eyes. The more he thought about the person who squatted down with him like a fool, the angrier he became. Seeing that the anger level was about to reach peak!

Seeing this, Zhao Duan nodded seriously: "Well, I think you are right!"

After saying that, Zhao Duan turned his head and nodded at Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang immediately understood, and then the master and servant directly slipped out of the crowd like monkeys.

That movement is clean, that speed!Just blink!

Zhao Jun, who was left in a daze, looked at the people who had already looked at his son and showed a polite smile in embarrassment:

"Hehe, what, everyone, have you eaten it all?"

"Eat your uncle! Hit him! His father ran away! Hit him!"

This sound instantly detonated the crowd like a ignited fuse, and the angry crowd rushed towards him crazily, but after the noise passed, they could no longer find Zhao Jun's voice.

……

"Old man! Wait for me! How could you run away and leave me alone! It's so immoral!"

On a certain street, Zhao Duan, who was running wildly, seemed to hear the cry of his resentful son, but he immediately shook his head and put the voice behind him.

impossible!Absolutely impossible!At this time, he should be surrounded, how could he escape?

right!That's right!That's what it looks like!

Thinking of this, the movements of his feet suddenly became a little faster, and the wind seemed to be attached to him at this moment.

In the end, this is still Yunzhou City, Zhao Jun's territory, Zhao Duan, the old man... the old man still failed to run away and was caught.

Looking at Zhao Jun with a dark face, Zhao Duan not only didn't feel any guilt, but was quite arrogant, and he didn't look like he had done anything wrong.

Seeing Zhao Jun, he came up directly and asked, "It just so happens that you are here. I heard that you have some kind of steam engine that can be operated by yourself. Recently, your official newspaper has been talking about it every day. Take me to see the real thing. .”

After breakfast this morning, Zhao Duan bought an official newspaper of Yunzhou County from the little boy who sold newspapers on the roadside. He saw something about the steam engine in it. Interesting, aroused his curiosity.

Hearing this, Zhao Jun shook his head and said: "That thing is still a semi-finished product, and one of the materials has not been found, so it is just a fake product now, and it has to stop after a few moves."

"Look, look and go."

Finally, under Zhao Duan's insistence, Zhao Jun took the old man to the Tiangong Institute, which studies steam engines.

Ye Lao, the old craftsman in charge of researching the steam engine, was originally a blacksmith. After Zhao Jun proposed the design of the steam engine, Ye Lao led the land he cultivated to conquer the technology of the steam engine.

From the initial unknown principle to the present prototype, the steam power is enough to allow the steam locomotive to pull a person to walk 100 meters in half an hour, which took a full three years.

Ye Lao pointed to the iron lump behind him, which was a bit similar to the locomotive in the previous life, and said: "The biggest problem at present is that" there is no good sealing material for sealing valves, pipe connections, and cylinders, which caused us to invest in Ninety percent of the power generated by the coal in the steam engine is directly wasted, and only about ten percent can be converted into the power of the steam engine.

If this problem cannot be solved, then the steam engine is useless. Firstly, it will not last long, and secondly, it consumes too much and is not worthwhile. "

Following Ye Lao's introduction, Zhao Jun, Zhao Duan and his son looked up and down at the big guy in front of them. The dark steel body was full of strange industrial aesthetics, and just looking at it gave people a shocking feeling.

After watching for a long time, Zhao Duan suddenly said:

"Didn't it mean he could move?

Let him move and see! "

Ye Lao turned his head and looked at Zhao Jun. After thinking about it, Zhao Jun finally nodded and said, "Go get ready. I also want to see the current progress."

"Okay! Please wait for the throne!"

After speaking, Mr. Ye went down to make arrangements. After a while, many people came to the original kung fu exhibition venue, and they surrounded the steam engine to write and draw.

Zhao Jun glanced at it twice, and then realized that they were recording the experimental data. Find areas for improvement in the process to make things more advanced.

And not long after, a cart of coal and a small cart were pulled over. The small cart was covered with stones, and was soon hung on the tail of the steam engine.

Another group of people ignited the boiler inside the steam engine and began to continuously add coal to it.

As the black coal is continuously added to the boiler, the fire in the boiler burns more and more vigorously, and the water in the steam engine is burned to generate a large amount of water vapor, and then the kinetic energy generated by the water vapor is used to drive various components through the steam engine.

The next moment, everyone heard the sound of boasting and boasting slowly, and the steam locomotive, which was still motionless just now, started to move slowly with the small trolley beside it.

Although it was moving very slowly, the entire steam engine was leaking air everywhere and spraying white smoke, like a balloon that was full of holes but filled with water.

But he still moved after all. The shock brought by this kind of industrial miracle made Zhao Duan, who saw this kind of scene for the first time, open his mouth, and couldn't close it for a while!
"This... this... this iron lump moved!"

Zhao Duan pointed to the steam engine that was moving slowly but slower than a turtle crawling, looked at Zhao Jun in shock and said.

Zhao Jun nodded slowly, and said with emotion on his face: "Yes, it moved!"

After a while, Zhao Duan's shocked expression gradually calmed down. Looking at the steam engine that hadn't advanced much for a long time, he said: "It's moving, but this thing is moving too slowly. At this speed, Whether you can advance a mile in a day is a question."

Zhao Jun said, "Old man, you can't look at it that way.

If I told you before today that iron bumps could move by themselves, would you believe it? "

Zhao Duan shook his head: "I definitely don't believe it!"

Zhao Jun pointed to the steam engine and said, "But it has already appeared in front of our eyes.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that the problem of the iron bump being able to move has been solved, will it be farther if he moves faster?
As I said, this thing is still a semi-finished product. If you see the white mist coming out of the steam engine, it is all powered by the steam engine.

At present, it is because we have no usable materials, so the white mist has leaked from the inside of the steam engine, resulting in less than [-]% of the force being used.

It's like a martial arts master has Mongolian sweat medicine in his hands, but he can't use it even if he is strong! "

"Then can we find that kind of material?" Zhao Duan asked looking at the foggy steam engine.

Zhao Jun nodded affirmatively: "Sure!

The world is so big, there will definitely be the materials we need, it's just that we will find him sooner or later! "

Looking at the steam engine that has moved forward a foot away, Zhao Duan nodded silently: "I hope I can find it soon."

Saying this, Zhao Duan noticed the rails under the steam engine again, and asked curiously: "Your steam engine can only run on these two iron bars?

If this is the case, even if you overcome the material problem in the end, if your steam engine wants to go to other places, wouldn't the two iron bars have to be repaired to other places.

This sticker doesn't look like ordinary iron, just forging it is not easy, if such a large amount is required, how much iron will be consumed! "

As expected of being an emperor, he can see at a glance another problem that the steam engine will face in the future, and that is the rails.

If you want to use a steam train to transport materials, you must lay the rails to the destination. Not to mention the difficulty of construction, the steel consumption alone is an astronomical figure. Just thinking about it makes people scalp Numb!
However, what Zhao Duan didn't expect was that Zhao Jun said calmly at this time:
"It's not a problem if we can find the material. This steam engine can be used not only on this cart, but also in many other places. At that time, the production of steel can increase at a rapid rate. There is no shortage of iron ore in our Yunzhou County.

It can fully meet the needs of laying railroad tracks, and Father, have you ever thought about a question, why are there so many people who rebel every year in Song Dynasty now? "

When this question was mentioned, Zhao Duandang even frowned, then sighed and said, "Shuihetian."

Zhao Jun nodded and continued: "The heavy taxes and the land being continuously annexed by aristocratic families and landlords have caused more and more people to lose their livelihoods.

But after they lost their land, they still had to pay high taxes. What's more, those corrupt officials and landlords and gentry would pass all the taxes they should have paid on to the people.

In the absence of a source of income, you have to pay taxes for yourself or even for others.

Father, you said, in this case, do they have any other choice besides rebellion?
As for borrowing money to pay taxes, the end result is that even oneself is sold to others as slaves. "

When Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Duan opened his mouth to say what he wanted to say the most, but was interrupted by Zhao Jun and continued: "Don't say that the Song Dynasty does not allow people to treat Song people as slaves. As the saying goes, there are policies. There are countermeasures below.

When those people couldn't repay the high loan, his creditors, the landlords and gentry who lent money, naturally controlled their fate, even if they just signed an employment contract.

But all the clauses in the contract are beneficial to the employer, and the employment period is still lifelong.

How is this different from a slave contract? "

Zhao Duan was silent.

But Zhao Jun continued: "This will create a vicious circle throughout the Song Dynasty. The faster the landlords and gentry annex, the more the people will lose their land, and the more rebellious people will be. The court will need to use more money." Soldiers to suppress the rebellion.

And suppressing the rebellion needs money, where does the money come from?
It can only be more taxation.

And the increased tax caused some people to lose their land and rebel because they couldn't pay the tax.

Repeatedly and repeatedly.

If this continues, sooner or later, the entire Great Song Dynasty will be filled with beacons of rebellion, and the scene of the last years of the previous dynasty will once again be staged in this world! "

"You say so much, so can this steam engine change everything?

The reincarnation cycle of land annexation has lasted for thousands of years, and the dynasties of all dynasties could not escape this fate. What can this little steam engine do? "

Zhao Duan was somewhat dissatisfied.

In this regard, Zhao Jun smiled confidently, looking at the steam engine that was still moving slowly.

My thoughts seemed to return to the high-rise buildings and bustling world in my previous life.

The tone was firm and solemn: "Yes, there is still a way to break the cycle of fate, as long as the productivity can be improved, then everything will not be a problem.

And this steam engine is the key to unlocking the productivity that has restricted the world for thousands of years!
Once this productivity is unlocked, the powerful power it unleashes will definitely shock the whole world! "

There was light in Zhao Jun's eyes.

In a trance, Zhao Duan seemed to see the time when he first ascended to Dabao when he was young and thought he had the ability to rejuvenate Dasong and make Dasong great again.

At that time, I was young and fearless, but now I am old, and I have become timid and conservative!
