"What? This steam engine was made by adults again? How is this possible?" Song Yingxing pointed at Zhao Wen, his face full of shock.

"Mr. Song, don't be so surprised. This is just something I imagined when I saw the lid of the teapot being overturned by water vapor when boiling water. I didn't expect this thing to be successful." Zhao Wen waved his hand and said calmly .

Song Yingxing turned around the boiler, his eyes fixed on the boiler.

The coals burning violently under the boiler made the room extremely hot.

Not long after, Song Yingxing was dripping with sweat.

He wiped off the sweat from his brow, and his eyes kept scanning the boilers, pipes and cylinders.

Zhao Wen looked at Song Yingxing, but didn't bother, letting him watch.

Zhao Wen called Sun Yuanhua over and said to him, "You stay here with Mr. Song, I'll go out for a while."

"Yes, my lord." Sun Yuanhua cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then followed behind Song Yingxing.

Zhao Wen looked at the two of them, then walked out.

Zhao Wen walked out of the workshop and asked someone to find the manager of the ironworks.

A moment later, a man over forty years old with dimples on his face came over.

"grown ups!"

This man's name was Mo Tiesheng, and his family used to be a craftsman in Xuan Town, who worked full-time in making iron.For ironmaking, he has some skills.

Mo Tiesheng looked at Zhao Wen, and bowed respectfully.

Zhao Wen waved his hands and said slowly, "Get up, how much steel can be produced in the ironworks in a month, and how much pig iron can be produced?"

"Returning to my lord, there are now a total of ten steelmaking blast furnaces in the ironworks that have been transformed by you, and five ordinary ironmaking furnaces for making pig iron.

These blast furnaces produce steel or iron every four days, and the weight of each blast furnace is about [-] catties.

The steel produced today is stored in the warehouse according to your instructions, except for the manufacture of armor and weapons. "The steward said slowly.

Hearing what the steward said, Zhao Wen secretly calculated in his mind, "There are fifteen blast furnaces for one furnace in four days, that means more than 1 jin of steel in four days. That month is nearly 8 jin of steel. The unit of the future generation is more than 40 tons of steel. The steel produced in this month is not as much as the output of a single iron furnace in a large steel factory in the future."

After all, this era is not as good as later generations, and the output of iron-smelting furnaces is severely limited.

"It seems that the output of this steel is still a bit low!" Zhao Wen squeezed his chin, looking at the extremely busy workers in the ironworks, with a melancholy look on his face.

Zhao Wen originally thought of making a miniaturized steam engine, and then connecting all the large and small cities in the entire Xuanzhen town with railways, and then making a steam locomotive.

But now it seems that the iron and steel needed by the railway alone cannot be met, so what's the point of this.

Although the railway cannot be manufactured, the steam locomotive can be manufactured first. After the iron furnace is expanded again and the amount of steel is sufficient, the railway plan can be implemented.

After returning to the General Military Mansion, Zhao Wen directly called Liu Wenzhong, Zhang Helang, and Sun Yuanhua into the study.

Zhao Wen looked at the two people sitting in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I want to form a large caravan to sell the cement, glass and other goods produced in our Xuan Town, please show me a charter .

Our banks will also be established in various cities, and strive to cover the entire major cities in northern Daming first.

Moreover, from Xuanzhen to all the roads in Xuanzhen, and even the fortresses of each government, I will use cement roads to connect them.

Give me a detailed plan and budget. "

After the Jin merchants were eradicated, although Zhao Wen also took over many caravans that originally belonged to the Shanxi merchants, these caravans were still too few for Zhao Wen.

As for the connection of various government fortresses in Xuanzhen, this was decided by Zhao Wen a long time ago, but the time was not ripe at that time.

It is unrealistic to connect with railways now, but it can be easily realized with cement.

"My lord, the matter of a large caravan is easy to handle. It is estimated that it will be fully established in ten days. Now there is a very urgent matter in front of us. If we don't handle it properly, it may cause disaster." Liu Wenzhong frowned. Frowning, said in a deep voice.

"What's urgent?" Zhao Wen frowned and looked at Liu Wenzhong.

Chapter 232 Prepare to clean up Xuan Town

Looking at Liu Wenzhong, Zhao Wen suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What's urgent?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong, frowning tightly.

Liu Wenzhong let out a long breath, and said slowly: "My lord, recently the military generals in various districts and prefectures in Xuanzhen have become restless.

Originally, they planned to come to see the adults, but recently they canceled this matter.According to Lord Wang's investigation, it seems that these military officers are not satisfied with what Lord Wang has done in Xuanzhen.

They said that after you took office, not only did you not pay them military salaries, but you also ransacked the homes of all the officers and gentry in Xuanzhen City.

Now these military officers from all walks of life have united and are preparing to boycott Your Excellency, and I also heard that they are planning to impeach Your Excellency. "

The more Zhao Wen heard it, the more gloomy his face became, "Hehe, these bastards have a hand in drinking blood one by one, and now they want to boycott me? What a joke.

When I was just promoted to be the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, the imperial court didn't give me a military salary, so what should I give him?

But after the Shanxi merchants ransacked their homes, the imperial court took part of the money I handed in for them and distributed them as military pay.

Now it is a joke to say that I did not pay them the military salary. "

"My lord, this matter was organized by an officer named Wang Hai." Liu Wenzhong said in a deep voice.

"Wang Hai? Which Wang Hai?" As soon as Zhao Wen heard the name, he immediately remembered the Wang Hai who sent himself and Zhao Daniu to die when he just came here.

"My lord, it's Wang Hai, the general of the Shima Camp." Liu Wenzhong explained to Zhao Wen. "I heard from Mr. Wang Qiwang that Mr. Wang Hai still knows him."

When Zhao Wen heard this, he immediately understood that this Wang Hai was the same Wang Hai he met when he just crossed over.

Zhao Wen sneered, and said coldly: "Hehe, it's really that Wang Hai, it's really hard for him.

By the way, how long has this been happening? "

After Zhao Wen dealt with the original gentry and those original military generals in Xuanzhen City, he was ready to deal with them, but Zhao Wen encountered some things at that time, so he put this matter on hold.

As Zhao Wen has more and more things, so it has been delayed until now.Zhao Wen originally thought that he would start to deal with it after returning from his work report in the capital, but he didn't expect these people to jump out impatiently.

"Isn't this Wang Hai a member of a hundred households? Why is he now a member of the Shima Camp?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong suspiciously.

Liu Wenzhong said: "My lord, when Lu Daliang was the commander-in-chief of Xuanzhen, this Wang Hai sent Lu Daliang a batch of silver, so he became the general of Shimaying, otherwise, what would he do?" Maybe become a general?"

In fact, when Lu Daliang became a general of the Shima Camp, Jiannu had already entered through the Xifeng Pass.

At that time, when Lu Daliang was Qin Wang, Wang Hai pretended to be sick and escaped the catastrophe.But when Zhao Wen was promoted to be the chief soldier of Xuan Town, he was very anxious. He was afraid that Zhao Wen would pay attention to him, especially after Zhao Wen took down the gentry and the original officers in Xuan Town. The whole person became even more uneasy.

Although Zhao Wen didn't notice him at all at the time, he was afraid that Zhao Wen would target him, so he contacted these military officers from all over Xuanzhen to boycott Zhao Wen.

At the beginning, they were cautious for fear that Zhao Wen would find out.

But now, it has even begun to be aboveboard.

Zhao Wen laughed jokingly, and then said: "It's really a frog at the bottom of a well, I have to find my own death. Originally, I thought that as long as they can obediently hand over their military power, I would spare their lives, but now it seems that it is not necessary. gone."

"By the way, is there a list of these people? If so, please show me." Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong and asked slowly.

"There is a list. Lord Wang Qiwang has always been in charge of this matter, and the list is with him." Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen and said slowly.

People like Liu Wenzhong knew about Wang Qi becoming the commander of the hidden guards, and Zhao Wen had given Wang Qi this order before.

Zhao Wen narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Wenzhong, and said slowly: "Go and find Wang Qi, and ask him to bring this list with him. I want to see how many people are so presumptuous."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone stood up, bowed their hands at Zhao Wengong, and then pushed the door out.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Qi came to Zhao Wen's study.

"My lord, here is the list you want." Wang Qi took a booklet and put it on the desk.

Zhao Wen picked up the booklet and flipped through a few pages, "Hehe, there are quite a few of these people, and they are not afraid of death."

"My lord, now the dark guards have lurked around these military officers, and their every move is under the surveillance of the dark guards." Wang Qi said slowly.

"In that case, let me keep an eye on them all now. I will go to the capital to report on my work in a few days, and I will kill them all when I come back. By the way, you go and find Song Hu and the others." Zhao Wen put down Looking at Wang Qi with the booklet in his hand.

"Yes, my lord." Wang Qi cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then went outside.

After a little effort, all the thousands of households under Zhao Wen arrived in the study.

Because the number of soldiers is relatively right now, there are a few unfamiliar faces among these people.

Now Zhao Wen's regular army has more than 1 people.

These people were divided into nine thousand households by Zhao Wen, and now the thousand households of these nine thousand households are standing in Zhao Wen's study.

In addition to Zhao Daniu's personal guard camp, Zhao Wen organized these thousands of households.

The thousand households Song Hu was in charge of were named the thousandth household by Zhao Wen, Liu Wu was the second thousandth household, Zhang He was the third thousandth household, Wang Chong was the fourth thousandth household, Zhou Lang was the fifth, and Gongsun Erlu was the Sixth, Qi Dazhuang was seventh, and Zhuge Goudan was eighth.

These new thousand households have all made great contributions on the battlefield, otherwise Zhao Wen would not have made them the thousand households of these thousand households.

Fortunately, Zhao Wen's study room is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

Zhao Wen looked at the people standing in the study and said slowly, "Where is Song Hu from the thousandth household?"

"The last general is here!" Song Hu cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and stood up.

Zhao Wen looked at Song Hu, and said in a deep voice: "I order your department to stop training now, and take your soldiers to move to Dushikou Shima camp."

"The last general takes orders." Song Hu cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and shouted in a deep voice.

"Where is Liu Wu?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wu and said in a deep voice.

"The last general is here!" Liu Wu stood up.

"I order you to lead all your troops to Wanquan Youwei."

"As ordered!"

......

Zhao Wen left the personal guard battalion in Xuanzhen town, and all the other teams were mobilized to go to the most violent places.

This time, Zhao Wen didn't bother to talk nonsense with them. When he came back from the capital, he would kill them all, and then send his soldiers to various administrative offices.

"Remember, you must not let them notice your movements before I come back. This time, I will try to wipe out all these scum." Zhao Wen looked around and roared angrily.

"The last general takes orders!" Everyone shouted angrily at Zhao Wen.

"Okay, you guys go back." Zhao Wen waved at them.

After everyone went out, Zhao Wen sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, then took out a piece of rice paper, spread it on the table, and began to draw the first-generation steam locomotive in his mind.

In fact, no matter how many generations of steam engine, its working principle is the same, it is only the progress of the manufacturing process and the progress of the structure.

When the sun rose from the ground, Zhao Wen finally drew the front of the steam locomotive.

The steam locomotive drawn by Zhao Wen is the "Voyager" steam locomotive designed and manufactured by Stephenson in cooperation with others on September 1825, 9.

The maximum speed of this steam locomotive is 24 kilometers per hour, and the maximum load is 53 tons.

The speed of this locomotive is indeed not fast, but it has a simple structure and is easy to build. With Zhao Wen's current industrial level, it can be built.

Although this steam locomotive is not good compared to other steam locomotives, it is much better than the steam engine that Zhao Wen made before.Even if it can't be used as the locomotive of a steam locomotive, at least it can be used as a steam engine.

The reason why Zhao Wen did not directly get out this steam engine, but first got out the backward steam engine is that many parts of this steam engine are made by stamping, cutting, drilling and other methods. For the first generation of steam engines, Zhao Wen couldn't even realize these most basic crafts, so why talk about making steam engines?

Zhao Wen yawned and looked out the window with a tired face, "I finally drew this steam engine. With this steam engine, even if it can't be used as a steam locomotive, it can be used as a steam engine.

What's more, the power of this steam engine is stronger than that of the previous steam engine, the power is more stable, and the efficiency is higher. "

Zhao Wen sat on the chair for a while, then picked up a charcoal pencil, and quickly wrote on a blank booklet the craftsmanship, tools and various precautions used to make this steam engine.

An hour later, Zhao Wen headed outside with the drawings and pamphlets.

There is a small courtyard not far from the General Military Mansion. In this small courtyard, there are more than a dozen houses built with cement bricks and tiles. These houses are more exquisitely decorated. This is where Zhao Wen built the office for those civil servants.

Zhao Wen took the drawings and pamphlets and walked directly into Sun Yuanhua's workshop.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua was burying his head in calculating the amount of cement needed to connect all the cities in Xuan Town, when Zhao Wen walked in.

Zhao Wen looked at Sun Yuanhua who was working hard, and said slowly: "Mr. Sun, this is a blueprint of a steam engine. You can change this blueprint to the current one."

Zhao Wen put the drawings on Sun Yuanhua's desk and said to Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua put down the brush in his hand, stood up, and looked at Zhao Wen, "My lord, haven't I drawn all the drawings of the steam engine for you? Why do you want to draw now?"

"This is another steam engine, which is my improved steam engine, not the one I asked you to draw before. This steam engine is more efficient and smaller, and it will be of great help to us." Zhao Wen said slowly.

Sun Yuanhua picked up the blueprint and examined it carefully.

After a while, Sun Yuanhua put down the blueprint and looked at Zhao Wen, "My lord, the structure of this steam engine is a little more complicated than the last one. If I change it, it may take a lot of time."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can change it when I come back from the capital." Zhao Wen waved at Sun Yuanhua, and then went outside.
