The agricultural society has a huge demand for irrigation. In addition to large rivers such as the Weihe and Huaihe Rivers, as well as large-scale artificial irrigation facilities such as Zhengguo Canal, there are a large number of small river ditches for irrigation.

The large Zhengguo Canal needs manual dredging, and the irrigated small river ditches in all counties and villages also need to be dredged. Therefore, manpower is simply not enough.

With the existing manpower level, it can only guarantee that the small river ditches at the county and village level are cleaned up during the dry season in winter. For large irrigation facilities like Zhengguo Canal, it is really not enough. The dredging of the Grand Canal can only be picked up most. To clean up.

Nowadays, Cutter Suction dredgers are born, and mass production can completely solve the dredging work of these large artificial water conservancy facilities.

In order to facilitate the experiment, Li An chose the Cao Canal in the west of Chang’an City as the experimental object, because this artificially-grooved canal is closest to the Research & Development Center, and it is easier to transport the Cutter Suction dredger in the past, and, This channel has been excavated for 7-8 years, and the silt is thick, which is indeed more suitable for the dredging test.

The Cutter Suction dredger, which is not very large in size, was soon transported into the canal and officially began dredging operations.

With the start of the Cutter Suction device, the silt at the bottom of the water channel was stirred up, and the pumping mechanism immediately sucked the sludge into the pipeline and discharged it to the road on the shore through a long pipeline.

There was still a lot of water in the silt that was just discharged to the shore, and it returned to the canal and brought back a little sediment, but most of the silt was left on the shore, and only a small part of it returned to the canal.

As in the past, there are still many people watching this time. Of course, more of them are boring idlers. After all, dredging machinery does not have much purchase value. Even if the nobles have a few 100000 acres of land, there is no need to buy special dredging. Machinery, when needed, temporarily recruit manpower to dig trenches.

Of course, in addition to these boring idlers, there are many Imperial Court officials, especially those from the Ministry of Industry. The dredging machinery is very important equipment for the Ministry of Industry. As long as there is a dredging machine, the Ministry of Industry The dredging task can be completed more easily.

As Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Guo Xuji heard that Li An invented the dredging steamer, and naturally struggling to rush towards the Western District, he would personally witness the dredging effect of the Cutter Suction dredger.

“Assistant Minister Guo, how come, the dredging has started for a long time.”

One hour after the dredging started, Assistant Minister Guo Xuji of the Ministry of Industry only slowly arrived and gasping for breath came to Li An’s side.

“Minister Li, this is your fault. It is so important to test the dredger. I did not inform This Official in advance. Otherwise, This Official has been waiting here for a long time.”

Seeing that Li An was too late for him, Guo Xuji was very angry. Of course, it was not Li An who was angry, but the people under his command were too incompetent. They even started experimenting to get the news, which caused him to rush to the channel Hurry.

“Haha, the process is not important, as long as Assistant Minister Guo can see the result.”

Li An said with a smile, and pointed to the silt that had just been dredged, allowing Guo Xuji to see the dredging effect of the dredger.

“It’s really a good thing to actually remove so much silt! How long has it been cleared.”

Guo Xuji’s eyes are full of excitement. This kind of dredging Divine Item is something he urgently needs.

“It has been one hour, and Assistant Minister Guo feels how much manpower is required if the silt is to be cleaned up manually.”

Li An not at all organized manpower desilting, which is not easy to estimate.

“About 2 people! Minister Li, this is a good thing! Must build more, 300 ships in Guanzhong are enough, and the Grand Canal needs more.”

Guo Xuji’s expression is very exciting. In his view, the Cutter Suction dredger can not only replace 2 manpower, but also has no time and season restrictions.

To clear the silt by manpower, the dry season must be selected, the working time is very short, and the dredger can work continuously for 365 days a year. In this way, the actual role of the dredger can be compared to more than 1000 manpower, 100 A dredger is comparable to 100000 labors, and it is more than enough to meet the desilting of large projects such as Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong.

“Assistant Minister Guo does not need to be too happy, this is just a small dredger. In the future, This Official intends to build a large dredger that is ten times more efficient at Shipyard in Luoyang. Specially used for dredging the Grand Canal, but there is currently a shortage of resources and it needs to be built slowly. The first batch of ten small dredgers will be built first to relieve Assistant Minister Guo’s urgent needs! “

Li An gave Guo Xuji greater hopes and put forward the idea of ​​a large dredger. At the same time, because of insufficient resources, Guo Xuji should not expect to get all the required dredgers at once.

“Haha! Enough is enough, as long as there is this thing, it’s better than nothing. It’s better to take everything slowly. I’m not in a hurry, I’m really in no hurry.”

Guo Xuji smiled and closed his face. The face was full of satisfaction. Although he could not get enough dredgers in one fell swoop, as long as he had this thing, it was better than nothing. Put it in the place where it is most needed. Unraveling urgently.

“Assistant Minister Guo is not in a hurry, this dredger will be delivered to Assistant Minister Guo first, but Assistant Minister Guo will call for a team as soon as possible to learn how to use and maintain the dredger.”

Li An said.

“Good, This Official understands, This Official understands.”

Guo Xuji was overjoyed to get the first Cutter Suction dredger. He felt that he had gotten a big baby, and immediately ordered him to start recruiting horses and preparing to learn to operate the dredger.

The small Cutter Suction dredger just developed by Li An, because of its small size, only needs 7 or 8 people, which is very labor-saving and much stronger than the sludge that directly allows labor to dig the river bed during the dry season, and Guo Xuji also According to the number of dredger equipment, the corresponding personnel will be prepared for operation.

The composition of the dredger includes the main structure, steam engine power, steam dredge, and steam Cutter Suction equipment.

Among them, the last three parts are all core equipment, produced in the Research & Development Center, and the main structure is divided into two production areas, one is the Shipyard in Luoyang City, and the other is the newly built Shipyard near the capital.

In this way, the dredger built can be quickly put into application nearby, thereby solving the problem of silt in the Guanzhong area and the Grand Canal.

In order to operate the Shipyard near the capital, Li An deployed 1000 manpower from the Research & Development Center to make them responsible for the construction of Cutter Suction dredgers and steam transport ships. Although the Water Element is not well developed in Guanzhong, steam ships are also needed.

Luokou Shipyard already has 1000 manpower, but in order to build the Cutter Suction dredger, Li An transferred more than 500 people from Research & Development Center to Luokou Shipyard, not only let them be responsible for building the Cutter Suction dredger, but also gave Their large number of drawings allowed them to build a large dredger in the dock of Luokou, and the core equipment required for the large dredger will be completed at the Research & Development Center in Beijing and shipped to Luoyang by rail.

Due to the cultivator and harvester, these agricultural machines have been produced and sold. For this reason, many nobles are continually expelling some tenant farmers, thus making the Research & Development Center more and more manpower.

For better development in the future, Li An also considers that the space in the south of the capital is not large enough. Therefore, it is necessary to move the manufacturing industry with the largest number of employees to a farther location and build several manufacturing bases. However, the manufacturing base and Research & Development The distance from the center should not be too far for easy guidance and control.

After surplus manpower and seeing the tremendous changes brought about by the mechanization of Great Tang, Imperial Court quickly approved the proposal to build several manufacturing bases on the wasteland near the capital, and immediately began implementation.

Steam locomotives, various cars are placed on a base, cultivators, pumps and harvesters are placed on a base, freight steam cars are placed on a base, and some practical gadgets are placed on a base to ease Research & Development Land pressure.

Moved many mature manufacturing links to Research & Development Center a few 10 li away. This greatly reduced the land pressure on the Research & Development Center. At the same time, it also allowed the major manufacturing links to have more sufficient land resources. The inevitable choice of various scientific research results after a large-scale blowout.

Of course, the reason why the research and development of Li An can progress so smoothly is inseparable from the peaceful environment faced by the Great Tang Empire. At this time, it was only three years since Tianbao, and there was not much war abroad. There is no loss of heavy defeat, and the major powers around them dare not easily provoke the Great Tang. This allows the Great Tang Empire to draw more energy and financial resources to support Li An ’s Research & Development work. At the same time, the implementation of the 3 tax laws, It has also doubled the revenue of the Treasury. Railway operations are also quickly recovering the costs of manufacturing and laying railways. All kinds of agricultural machinery are only profitable, and all are sold to the nobles at twice the cost price.

At this moment, most of the financial resources of the Great Tang Imperial Court have been invested in industrial research & development and manufacturing. The military and bureaucracy only accounted for a small portion of fiscal expenditure, which was unbelievable before.

In order to prevent and control dangers, the treasury always keeps enough surplus money to prevent it from being difficult to deal with when the empire is in crisis. In this way, it will inevitably affect the Research & Development and manufacturing of some machinery, but everything must be done step by step. The span is too large, and the treasury must not be short of funds.

“Minister Li, General Guo is here.”

“General Guo, that General Guo?”

Li An did not respond for a while.

“Minister Li, it’s me! I’m here again.”

Guo Ziyi stepped over and looked towards Li An with a smile.

“General Guo, it seems that you are really busy! Bianguan has nothing to do?”

Li An finally understands why Guo Ziyi has reached this age and his official position is still so low. The biggest reason is that there is no opportunity to perform. As a general, if there is no battle, many abilities cannot be shown. Moreover, promotion is conditional, Lao Guo had neither military merits nor distinguished family background, and his promotion was naturally very slow.

Moreover, Li An feels that with his arrival, the well-known Guo Shuai, who will be well-known in the future, will probably not be in the early days. After all, the old Guo was famous when he settled An Shi Rebellion, but with his own Coming, An Lushan’s frustrating and dare to start a rebellion? Even if he really dared to rebell, Li An could kill him in seconds with the power of modern machinery, and there was no need to fight with the leader of the old Guo suffer untold hardships.

“The Turks have been fighting in the battle and have no energy to go south. My Great Tang soldiers and horses have nothing to do. However, I came here this time, one is to escort the 2000 solar stove back, 2 is ordered by the Commander, Ask Minister Li for the toughened Glassware required for the helmet. I wonder if Minister Li is in stock? “

Guo Ziyi made no secrets and told the truth directly.

“Oh! Your Majesty is finally willing to equip the solar cooker with the army.”

Li An laughed, looked towards Guo Ziyi, nodded and said: “The last time I saw General Guo’s toughened Glassware mask, I have 1000 stocks in hand. In addition, I also created a more advanced fully enclosed helmet with performance far exceeding my Great Tang The existing helmet of the army. “

“Only 1000 stocks, too little.”

Guo Ziyi felt a little lacking, paused, and asked, “What is a fully enclosed helmet, can I go and see?”

Li An curl one’s lip said: “General Guo, all Glassware products are my personal industry. I made these toughened masks and spent my money. The Imperial Court can never compensate for one article. You do n’t think you can give anything for free. less?”

“Hehehe, am I not in a hurry? I have a few 10000 Armed Forces. The toughened mask I brought last time was only equipped with 100 Guards under Commander. The main Armed Forces simply cannot be equipped, and these 1000 masks can not be equipped with many troops. It is urgently needed in the army! “

Guo Ziyi smiled and explained that he was bluffing. Fortunately, Li An’s family was rich, and he was not afraid of this blackmail. Otherwise, he wouldn’t go bankrupt.

“The fully enclosed helmet is in my workshop, General Guo will follow me!”

Li An is still very generous. Although he knew that Guo Ziyi would not give money, he took Guo Ziyi to pick up the goods.

The so-called fully enclosed helmet is similar to the motorcycle helmet of later generations. Of course, it is not the shape, but the closed performance. It can completely block the sand, so that when the sand blows in the desert, it can also be eyes opened, so that it will not be affected by the sand. combat capability.

“General Guo, this is the latest helmet, try it!”

Li An picked up a new helmet and handed it to Guo Ziyi.

“Aiya! It’s a good thing! It’s stronger and easier to use than the previous mask.”

Guo Ziyi’s vision is very venomous, and he can see at a glance that the helmet in his hand is stronger and easier to use than the original helmet.

“General Guo, this mask can be opened or closed. After it is closed, there is no airtightness, and the wind and sand can not enter. It can be used to prevent sand. Moreover, this mask is smaller and stronger, and it is not easy to be crushed than the previous one. The mask is much stronger. In addition, the main structure of the helmet is also lighter and more reasonable. The weight is lighter and stronger than before. The mesh cloth is added to protect the soldier ’s head when it is hit. Leave the soldiers unscathed. “

Li An is seriously introduced.
