Chapter 1764 Technology Accumulation
Wu Meiniang is a very, very smart woman. There is no need to repeat it in this regard. Although she is very cruel to the enemy, this does not mean that she is arrogant. Not only that, she is actually very good at learning from the enemy. This is extremely valuable, and it is not even a problem that Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu do not have.
Especially Xu Jingzong, he would not do anything Han Yi did anyway. Now many nobles in Chang'an have started doing business, but Xu Jingzong strictly prohibits his family from doing business, but he just doesn't want to be with Han Yi because he looks down on Han Yi in his bones.
When Wu Meiniang dealt with Changsun Wuji, she actually used Changsun Wuji's tricks. The Changsun Wuji's rebellion case was actually a replica of Fang Yiai's rebellion case, but she just changed the soup and didn't change the medicine.
The same is true now. Wu Meiniang also uses Han Yi's tricks to deal with Han Yi.
How did businessmen rise?
It was Han Yi who first provoked the dispute between the scholars and the common people. While they were in a hot battle, he secretly developed the business and fooled the scholars and the common people to participate in the business to form a new class.
If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that Han Yi's way is to muddle the water first and then make profits from it.
Wu Meiniang also learned very thoroughly. She wanted to provoke conflicts between merchants and landlords and gentry, and even conflicts between officials and merchants, completely disrupt the situation and then make profits from it.
Not only that, Wu Meiniang also agrees with Han Yi's point of view very much, that is, she cannot ignore public opinion. She will not give up all Han Yi's suggestions just because she wants to deal with Han Yi. She is so smart that she naturally knows what is good for herself and what is bad for herself.
After meeting Wu Meiniang, Li Yifu went to the Secretariat to report.
Officials from the Secretariat were almost scared when they saw Li Yi’s mansion coming, including Liu Xiangdao.
In fact, they should be really afraid, because when Li Yifu learned that he could return to Beijing, he silently vowed to eradicate all the people who had taken the blame and returned them ten times.
But what surprised those officials was that when Li Yifu came to the Secretariat, he apologized to the Secretariat officials, saying that he was too arrogant and unreasonable at the time. If he had offended something, he would have to forgive them. What was gone will be the past. In the future, everyone will work together to serve the country and share the worries of the king.
He also said he wanted to treat them to a meal.
After he said this, everyone became even more scared. Li Yifu wanted to invite a meal, which was definitely a Hongmen Banquet, because he has always been stingy and never invites people to dinner. Even if he treats a meal, other officials will pay the bill and never pay the bill himself.
Suddenly, Li Yi Mansion wanted to invite him to a meal, which was very scary.
But they didn't know that Li Yifu only cares about Han Yi now. Whoever can help him deal with Han Yi is his friend.
This superstition is very terrible, and once it is involved, it is difficult to quit.
Most of the officials in the Secretariat were from gentry. Since Wu Meiniang had formulated a plan to use the gentry to deal with Han Yi, he would definitely not fall out with the gentry class, at least not now.
Not only them, because Li Chongde was also from the three provinces, Li Yifu also invited Li Chongde to come. When Li Chongde came, his face was pale. He knew that Li Yifu could not spare him, but he didn't expect to come to him so soon and was drowsy.
But to his surprise, Li Yifu not only did not blame him, but also helped him explain that he did that at that time, and was forced to blame him, and he also implied that the person was Han Yi.
Now that I'm back, don't be afraid, we are still a family.
When Li Chongde heard this, he cried on the spot. He was not moved, but cried with joy, because Li Yifu asked to rejoin their family tree, so he would definitely not attack him.
Li Yifu's series of actions made everyone unable to understand. Did Li Yifu really change his nature? But no matter whether it was or not, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Because even Li Chongde in Li Yi's mansion did not take revenge on them, it might not necessarily take revenge on them.
Wu Meiniang and Xu Jingzong felt even more at ease when they saw all this, thinking that Li Yi’s mansion had changed.
However, they didn't know that this actually originated from one person, Taoist Master Xuanji. If it weren't for this, how could Li Yi's Mansion give up?
Chixia Mountain is not high, it is a very ordinary mountain. However, because its west is very wide, it is very beautiful to stand here to watch the sunset, so it is called Chixia Mountain.
"Father-in-law, this is Chixia Mountain. There is a Taoist temple called Yunhai on the mountain. Taoist Master Xuanji lives in this Yunhai Taoist temple temporarily."
Liu Yuanzhen stood at the foot of Chixia Mountain and pointed to the top of the mountain.
Li Yifu nodded and said, "Let's go."
Under the protection of the guards, the two walked up the mountain with many gifts.
When they reached the mountain, they suddenly saw a couple walking down. The man was holding a hen and the woman was carrying a bamboo basket. Both of them looked very depressed.
After seeing this, Li Yifu felt a little curious. When they went to Taoist temples, they always carried things up and returned empty-handed, but the couple went down the mountain with things down, so they said, "Two, please stay."
The man saw that Li Yifu was dressed in extraordinary clothes and protected by so many people, and looked a little scared and said timidly: "What's the matter with the noble man?"
Li Yifu asked, "Are you going to Yunhai Dao Temple just now?"
“Yes.”
"The chicken you are holding in your hands should be prepared to give it to the Taoist temple, right?"
"Oh, no, we wanted to give this chicken to Taoist Master Xuanji, but Taoist Master Xuanji refused to accept it, so we had to take it back."
"Master Xuanji?"
“That’s right.”
"Why did you give him this chicken?"
"Oh, that's right. Two years ago, I met Taoist Master Xuanji. At that time, I owed a lot of money and was poor. It was Taoist Master Jing who gave me some advice. Our family successfully got through the difficulties and life was getting better and better. However, after Taoist Master Xuanji pointed me, he left Chang'an. Recently, I heard that Taoist Master Xuanji was back, so I thought about thanking Taoist Master Xuanji."
"So that's it. Oh, please give me the gift." Li Yifu smiled. His respect for Master Xuanji increased his 30th point in his heart.
"Goodbye!"
After the couple left, Liu Yuanzhen said, "Father-in-law, it seems that Taoist Master Xuanji doesn't like to accept gifts very much. What are our gifts?"
Li Yifu smiled and said, "The Taoist priest can not accept it, but we must not send it away. Let's go."
After walking for a while, after a corner, Liu Yuanzhen suddenly pointed to the top and said, "Father-in-law, look at it."
Li Yifu looked up and saw a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a big stone. It was Taoist Xuanji.
In fact, Du Yuanji had already seen Li Yifu and the others, thinking that although the boss was not in Chang'an, he could be counted without any omissions. This is really incredible.
At this time, Han Yi was living a leisurely life in Yangzhou. When he was so leisurely that Yuan Mudan, Yang Feixue was surprised because the Han Yi they knew was a person who couldn't stay there. He didn't expect Han Yi to enjoy this comfortable life so much, and he seemed to really not want to meet Chang'an.
"Mr. Yun, what instructions do you have to ask me for?"
Han Yi came to Yunxiu's house and smiled at Yunxiu.
"Look."
Yun Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed and pointed to a piece of white paper on the low table.
He was definitely not going to explain, because it was too tiring for him, so you should just watch it yourself.
Han Yi was used to it anymore. She sat at the end of the bed and curiously picked up the white paper on the table and found that it was an engineering drawing. He looked carefully and suddenly frowned slightly and said, "This seems to be a machine tool?"
“What is a machine tool?”
Yunxiu said curiously.
Han Yi was stunned and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, what's your picture?"
Yun Xiu said: "This is the hydraulic bow lathe I thought of."
To put it bluntly, this bow lathe can also be said to be the cone shape of a machine tool.
However, this picture of Yunxiu is much more complicated than today's bow lathes, which use a large number of gears, connecting rods, etc. The structure is very complex, and I don't want to be used as wooden tools.
Han Yi shook his head and said, "I don't really understand what you mean, can you say it in detail?"
Yunxiu said: "You have seen my automatic sewing machine."
Han Yi nodded.
Yun Xiu said: "But I don't want to make an automatic sewing machine. I mainly want to make a car that I walk by myself. However, when I was in Chang'an, I failed repeatedly. I summarized it. This is because even a skilled craftsman has limited strength. Many parts cannot be seamless and slow. A small part has to be made for a long time. I thought of using hydraulic power to complete the production of some parts."
Genius! This guy is really a great genius! After Han Yi understood, he looked at the engineering drawings and suddenly realized that this bow lathe is actually used to make some precision parts, but it is actually a boring machine.
Yun Xiu asked again: "Will you help me?"
Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I will help you, but the problem is that this picture alone cannot explain any problem. If it doesn't work, it will waste a lot of money."
Yun Xiu suddenly reached out and held a handle at the head of the bed, pushed forward, and with a click, the big wooden box beside him suddenly opened.
Han Yi was so scared that he had passed by for a while before he could come to his senses. He was amused and laughed. Open a cabinet, are you so exaggerating?
Yun Xiu turned the handle again, but saw a model rising from the cabinet.
After the model was completed and raised, Yun Xiu pulled the handle to him, and the model came directly above the low table.
Han Yi said speechlessly: "Don't you think that if you do this, it's better to get up and open the cabinet and take out the model and save effort?"
Yun Xiu said with a depressed expression: "I know, so I have been trying to improve it."
Han Yi was stunned for a long time, then laughed.
This is a genius. Thinking is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Han Yi means that if you do so many moves, it is better to get up and take out the model. However, Yun Xiu thinks that Han Yi is mocking his mechanism for being bad. Moreover, Yun Xiu will only think of improving the mechanism, and will never think of getting up by himself. Without this habit, this can be said to be extremely lazy, but it can also be said that this is his unparalleled talent.
Han Yi observed it carefully and said, "You can do it and take a look."
Yun Xiu said, "I used a ribbon to imitate hydraulic power." After a brief explanation, Yun Xiu grabbed a small handle with two fingers and turned it.
With this rotation, the ribbon immediately drove a large gear, and the entire model started to move.
tmd, who is the time traveler? Although Han Yi cursed in his heart, he was very happy. Although he couldn't make it, he knew the best or bad. After all, he was a time traveler and had seen it on the market. If he could make such a machine and achieve the effect he wanted, then many parts could be made, which was definitely an invention that spanned the century.
This also confirms what Han Yi thought at the beginning. When Han Yi had not traveled through time, he believed that the Chinese were not good at science, but after traveling through time, he realized that this was not the case. In fact, there were many geniuses in this area in ancient China, but these geniuses were never valued, and were discriminated against, and were restricted everywhere. No one supported them. The talents of these geniuses were difficult to be used. With the rise of the imperial examination, geniuses all specialized in Confucianism and Taoism. Therefore, many inventions in ancient times were from officials. They invented these things, either to benefit the people or improvised works. However, if these officials were dedicated to science, the results might be completely different.
Until Han Yi came, this situation improved. Han Yi spent a lot of money to support them craftsmen. Science is the most expensive. If you don’t have money, don’t talk about science. You can’t even afford a piece of iron. What can you create? Han Yi also created the Six Sages of the Sage, laying the foundation for science. Yun Xiu was deeply benefited. Without Han Yi, people like Yun Xiu would not have achieved any great achievements.
"How about it?"
Yun Xiu asked.
Han Yi smiled and said, "The big problem is that there is no one, but I think I can help you improve it."
Yun Xiu looked at Han Yi with anticipation.
Han Yi explained some technical knowledge about boring machines to him.
He never took the initiative to say that he wanted to invent something himself, and he kept holding on to the gunpowder. He used guidance. When you reached this point, he would give you some technical knowledge. Because he knew very well that he could not create a steam engine himself. Even if he knew all the structure of the steam engine, he could not create it, because the technology accumulation of the two eras was different. For example, he knew that screws were needed here, but the problem was that there were no screws and no screws, he would definitely not create it, because he did not have this talent, and his knowledge was ready-made, not invented by him. Therefore, he had to rely on the wisdom of contemporary people and use contemporary technology to develop. His knowledge could only serve as the finishing touch.
Yun Xiu was very impressed. After listening, he seemed to open the Ren and Du meridians, and he started drawing on the paper with a charcoal pen and a ruler.
This crazy look is rarely seen on Yun Xiu's face. It can be seen that he did not invent it entirely because of laziness, but because he has this talent, ability, and really likes invention and creation. Because his father is a skilled craftsman, he thought of using technology to be lazy for himself. It is these two personalities that have created Yun Xiu's current life.
Han Yi waited patiently, saying everything about Yun Xiu’s question.
The reason why Han Yi brought Yun Xiu here is mainly because he believes that these three years are a period of technical accumulation. Because the inventions and creations of the Sixth Academy of Sages have changed the fixed thinking of many people. Everyone knows the importance of technology. Improving agricultural tools is ten thousand times better than encouraging farming and sericulture. Technology in any aspect is actually accumulating.
