Chapter 456 The Carriage
Chen Lin came here for cultural exchange, but when Chen Mu brought him to the military garrison, the dignified general looked at the well in the small courtyard of Chen Mu's mansion like a child who has seen a new toy, and started playing with it himself.

"Why does the water come up by itself when this thing is pressed?"

Chen Mu had been prepared for a long time, and asked Juniper to go to the room to find a second picture and use it to explain to Chen Lin: "This is to lower the air pressure, and the water will be lifted up when there is no air. Just repeat this action."

In fact, this is easier for Chen Mu than anything else. The principle is a shampoo bottle. He said with a smile: "This is related to the air pressure. Didn't you see it when you made the light bulb? It's like a cupping pot. Burn all the flammable gas and you can burn it." Suck on the eucommia rubber pad, but the fire is replaced by pressing, and the eucommia gum is replaced by water."

"Some time ago, Zhang Ge's old Chang Ji wrote back, saying that both the northern and southern capitals' Ministry of Industry have opened departments to specialize in experimenting with air pressure and vacuum. It will soon become a book like steam and electricity. Xu Ge's words are better than mine. Make."

It is not Chen Mu's idea to make these knowledge into a book. He generally does not interfere with these matters, and only does what he can do. Others who cannot make decisions simply don't even affect them, and let the people in power consider themselves.

After all, we Taoist gods are only obsessed with inner cultivation.

But it is not affected, after all, once the steam engine is sent to Beijing, Zhang Juzheng will not be affected. When Xu Jie visited Zhang Juzheng's mansion when he was visiting the capital, he also saw the steam engine, which added more influence.

Literati and bureaucrats often wrote books, gave each other gifts or exchanged readings, and many books were only circulated in small circles at the beginning.

Sailugong’s Chen’s Tao Te Ching is a boring book for ordinary people to read, but if it is read by people like Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie, it will undoubtedly be a masterpiece, and it will only be published without publication , this is very welcome.

As the saying goes, Wen Chongming, Wu Chongjie, Chen Mu doesn't care about fame and fortune, but Xu Jie cares, he is planning to go back to Songjiang Prefecture to open a large academy that can correspond to the lecture hall, and immediately ordered Zhang Juzheng to include this book in the teaching materials Inside.

Only a fool would regard these things as miraculous skills and obscenities. Miracles and obscenities refer to things that are too gorgeous and useless, just like the stuff made by Sailu Gong, which has always been stupid, black and thick, and can be made Strange skill and obscenity?

If it is a particularly exquisite thing, people at the time don't know how to use it, and it may be misunderstood, but Chen Mu's products will definitely not be misunderstood.

Even if you don't bring this book called Tao Te Ching, which is actually an instruction manual, the most likely misunderstanding is to throw it away as trash, and you will never be caught by tricks and tricks.

Not to mention knowing the usefulness.

Xu Jie even thought about the land for the academy, so he took it from his own home!

There are five subjects in the martial arts hall: walking, artillery, chariot, riding, and engineering. From now on, Songjiang Prefecture Academy will open six subjects: official, household, etiquette, military, punishment, and engineering. This is the best engineering subject!

Chen Mu did not expect that Xu Jie, the former chief assistant of the empire and the great landlord of the Ming Dynasty, was prepared to devote the rest of his life to the cause of teaching and educating people by coincidentally serving as the head of the Wutang Mountain and a copy of Chen's Tao Te Ching.

"If this is installed with a steamer, it will be able to carry water day and night?"

Chen Lin stopped playing, and looked here and there in the yard, hoping to find something new, but there was really nothing new, unless he went to the toilet to find a toilet, had a water tower, laid pipes and pumped water Squat and sit toilets are also used in military guards.

Chen Mu also ordered a batch of porcelain toilets from Nanjing. He did not intend to install them in Mindoro Island. These supporting facilities will definitely sell well in the next few years. First, they will be installed in Beijing, such as Zhang Juzheng Mansion, and later in the Forbidden City. It will be able to circulate.

Not only is it convenient for people's livelihood, but it will also be easier to irrigate farmland in the future.

"Almost, what's the matter with brother coming here this time?"

When Chen Lin heard Chen Mu's question, he pursed his lips, and said angrily: "Lu Song has something new, and I want to tell you, how did I know that you also got something new... Alas, the excitement in my heart No more, I don’t want to talk about it.”

After speaking, Chen Lin pressed the sword and walked out, and Chen Mu hurriedly pulled him back.

"Hey, don't go!"

Chen Mu laughed, then looked at Chen Lin and said, "Tell me, what's new?"

Seeing the well in Chen Mu's house, Chen Lin's joy diminished a lot. It was as if he was used to eating steamed buns, and suddenly found buns one day, and brought them over to show Chen Mu, who always makes snacks, I have something with stuffing here, and it turned out that Chen Mu was eating noodle soup.

It's boring!

Chen Lin sighed, took out a few pages of stacked picture scrolls from the side of the breastplate, and took pictures on the desk, muttering: "Your breastplate is good to wear inside, and you don't even have a pocket when you wear it outside."

"Whoever asked you to be a general is used to being a shopkeeper who throws his hands away. He doesn't even want to carry a bag. Originally, carrying equipment is for hanging things. Backpacks and waist hangers. If you want to have a pocket, I will design one for you."

Chen Mu said as he patted his head and said, "If you say that, shouldn't we design a simpler military uniform? Let's talk about that later. Let me see what you brought here. What are these, carriages, tracks?"

"Yo, you're still smart, my family member told me for a long time that he didn't know what this thing is called." Chen Lin rubbed the back of his head and pointed at the map and said: "The Guam naval battle sank several ships from Xiyi, and took three Fanyi family members. "

"They said they were some kind of mercenary, and they were not bad at all. They were veterans of the battlefield. One was a nobleman and two veterans. They claimed to be concealers. I didn't know whether the concealment was from the provincial capital or the country. "

As Chen Lin spoke, he gestured to Chen Mu and said, "Old Pinto said they were Prussians, and he also said that he learned this word from you."

"Learned from me?"

Chen Mu was also puzzled, he didn't remember when he said it, he raised his feet and took a sip from the tea bowl, and said casually, "Maybe I said it when I was looking at their map, this car was drawn by them?"

"Well, one of them was a thug supervisor in their mine before he joined the army. He said that they used this kind of cart to transport ore down from the mine. It was carried by a horse, and the track was laid on the ground, and there were brakes on the cart when going downhill. The film can slow down, and the uphill horse is empty, saving time and effort.”

"There are also flat roads, but the paved ones are short. A single horse and bicycle can carry ten thousand catties between four and five miles. That's what he said, but I built a one-mile road in Luzon, and it can't carry that much." Chen Lin He shook his head and said, "However, it can carry six thousand catties, and the manpower saved can go to the mine to dig more."

Chen Lin said: "You don't use much gold mine here, and two or three miles of construction is enough. I came to tell you that I plan to build a total of 55 miles of track in places such as mines and ports in Luzon. What do you think?" .”

"55 miles?" Chen Mu stared and said, "How much iron does that cost? Dozens of cannons have gone out!"

"Iron? What iron?"

Chen Lin pointed at Chen Mu and said with a smile: "You can really think, is it possible to use iron to break the track? Wood will do!"
-
Mining tracks appeared in the German region in the 56th century, and the Wollaton carriageway in England appeared around 1603, with a single horse carrying 10-13 tons.
