Chapter 524 Two years of laying the foundation for the prototype of a giant ship
Last year, after Fang Qifu's death, Chen Fan asked Ning Yi for elm wood cannons. Ning Yi did not agree. It was not to create any technical barriers. It was to cope with the Jin people going south and the earth cannons.
The method of making the cannon has been handed over to the imperial court by Qin Siyuan. Once the technology is leaked and such a thing appears in Xigua's war with the imperial court, it will be difficult for him to get out of it.
At this time, many situations became more urgent in Ning Yi's mind, especially the location of Luliang Mountain. He had to transfer some results to Luliang Mountain as soon as possible to deal with some possible troubles.
.
Ning Yi still has no clear understanding of these troubles. The environment and folk customs of Luliang Mountain are somewhat special, which is very different from the Central Plains. Qingmuzhai is intended to exist as a north-south smuggling center. The main purpose is-
- Regardless of whether we may face threats from the south or the north in the future - we should still keep the word "defensive". With this in mind, mines, gunpowder and other items are of great use.
Of course, even stone mines, which seem to have low technical content, still have quite a few technical barriers that need to be overcome. This is the simplest land mine in later generations: hollow out the stone and fill it with strong gunpowder, iron filings, etc.
Things, plus a simple ignition device, and you're done. Now, all Ning Yi has on hand is barely qualified strong gunpowder. The ignition device is actually not mature yet, because it involves the appearance of matches.
Wrap the match head with igniting sandpaper, and tie a thin wire to one end of the match. Pull the thin wire to generate sparks, and the mine explodes. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the militiamen used this method to make land mines. However, in the current military situation
North Korea, how to achieve such an effect is still a mystery
Big problem. Fortunately, the crude alchemists of this era have been exposed to the chemical changes of sulfur, phosphorus and other substances, supplemented by flint and research on a large number of flammable substances, and they can barely achieve the detonation effect, but the safety is not
High, you still need to be careful when installing.
But no matter what, as long as there is still time, under Ning Yi's directional requirements, it is not difficult to develop such small items. Since he is going to Luliang this time, he will transport these immature things there first.
, at least let the people of Luliang learn to dig out stones first.
In addition to landmines, the production of elm cannons has reached a relatively mature stage in Ning Yi. At least under Ning Yi's control, there are a few workers who are also gunners and have been able to master the know-how and know-how of making earthen cannons.
Based on the ballistic rules of the cannon, the barrel of the elm cannon can be combined with steel. The craftsmen in Luliang Mountain who are studying earthen blast furnaces must have gained some experience.
Regarding the development of technology, Ning Yi knows that the safest way is to rely on the progress of basic science, but in his hands, there is no time to wait for basic science. Therefore, what is going on in the research laboratory under Zhuji is
A large number of experiments based on exhaustive methods.
First, determine the various experimental methods, data and step recording methods. Then there are countless material experiments, recording phenomena, and summarizing the rules. Ning Yi's methods in this regard are simple and crude but extremely targeted. The only
The purpose is: to explode.
All experiments that use different methods to obtain flames or explosions will be rewarded as long as they are original and repeatable. After that, logically compare the explosive materials. Look for differences and summarize the rules. As long as they can give
If you come up with a certain and reliable explanation, you will get more rewards.
In this era, the real beginners who study chemistry are all alchemists like Gongsun Sheng, and those who are exposed to explosions are mostly craftsmen of fireworks and firecrackers. Ning Yi brought these two together to formulate basic rules
, give the reward level, and let them use their own enthusiasm for the rest.
However, what really plays an important role in this are the basic rules including "contrast" and "exhaustion". In the past one or two years, the craftsmen who were first recruited into Bamboo Records have mastered them even if they have mediocre talents.
Basic scientific research methods, including the existence of various basic elements - which was naturally taught by Ning Yi at the beginning - already have their own set of understandings.
At this time, the status of craftsmen in the Wu Dynasty was low. Although the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, which was responsible for military equipment, also had a firearms business, even if the craftsmen were minor officials, they were definitely not as good as the treatment that Ning Yi could give. And in terms of money,
of reward
Yu, Zhuji can also use the relationship with the Prime Minister to send some craftsmen's children to private schools. This is what makes people more eager to do it. So much so that many craftsmen in the Firearms Department of the Manufacturing Bureau are even helping people like Ning Yi.
While doing private work.
"...Place your things and pad them well. The road is still long. Be careful not to bump into each other. The gunpowder must be carefully watched by me. There won't be any sparks. Ah Si, you must pay attention to this matter..." It was raining in the yard.
, Ning Yi inspected the goods to be taken to Luliang Mountain and warned everyone. On the other side, he was also listening to his wife talking about the situation at home.
"... There have been quite a lot of participants in the backgammon competition held in Bamboo Records recently. Shopkeeper Nie and the others are also joining in the fun now. It is almost the same as the competition held once every five days in the nursing home. Sister Nie organized these things
Come, but everything is in order."
"It's good if she can have something she likes. As for Shopkeeper Nie, it seems that she hasn't married yet. Does she want to show off in front of the girls?"
Tan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "It's possible."
Tan'er talked about Zhuji's recent backgammon competition. At this time, Zhuji continued to expand and its scale had grown quite large. With Bianliang as the center, a total of fourteen restaurants had been opened - although the disaster relief incident made Ning Yi
He has made many enemies, but the accumulated contacts are already very scary for a store like Zhuji. There is no shortage of friends and partners in almost every link. With Ning Yi's ability, plans are made, contracts are signed, and money is
After injection, it will directly enter the loop program to achieve a soft landing.
Outside the restaurant, there are nearly thirty Zhuji carts traveling in all directions. Each cart is equipped with two bodyguards, one salesman, one tailor, and one storyteller. Sometimes they will be added or removed as appropriate.
Outside, there is a compound responsible for various researches outside the city. The current number of people is about three hundred. It is responsible for making lotus root coal, coal stoves, perfume, and incense.
Workshops for various items such as soap, mosquito coils, juices, etc., a printing workshop that cooperates with the Wang family, Su's cloth shop, shops, designers, current residents of the Ning family mansion, etc... cumulatively, now in Ning
Yi and Su Tan'er, the couple, now have more than 4,000 people working for them.
In one or two years, it expanded to such a scale. Ning Yi never relaxed about the life and entertainment of these people, and the corporate culture of later generations came from this. In fact, in this age without electricity,
During the month, the poverty of ordinary people in terms of entertainment is unimaginable to future generations. During the day, it was okay.
At night, there was almost nothing to do except carry the woman to bed. At the beginning, when there were only a few people under his command, Ning Yi tried his best to ask his subordinates to organize a literary party once a month. Zhu Ji had storytellers, jugglers and
Artists can also contact prostitutes who are good at singing and dancing. This kind of thing is not difficult.
Of course, entertainment projects are not just about watching performances. After the warriors from Dulonggang joined in, Ning Yi organized martial arts competitions, Cuju and other activities in the name of strengthening his body, and also asked his storytellers to tell these things.
A good reputation is promoted internally, such as the pair of iron fists of a certain person in Wanzhaolou
Unparalleled and unmatched, someone from Yuyan Tower had great leg skills. He once shocked Heshuo. At this time, the Bamboo Records were still centered around restaurants. While discussing, everyone couldn't help but wonder who was more powerful. And every ten days
Half a month later, there will be a competition and selection, and then people will compete and compete. Those with good results will be rewarded.
Some of the warriors who came out of Dulonggang were originally murderers on Liangshan Mountain. After reforming and repenting, their personalities became kinder and they had no desire for rewards. But the disciples they led were all young, and for these
Things are still
Interested. On the other hand, although most of the spectators of the competition are employees of Zhuji, there are also women among them. Even the women from Fanlou will find opportunities to come and watch after hearing about it. For the contestants,
Said, this is actually a great encouragement.
Ning Yi's competition strictly requires the competition to be in the direction of physical fitness. The competition lasts until the competition is over. They can communicate with each other in private. Because of the good control, these contestants who have friends in Dulonggang will not have their feelings hurt after the competition.
, it actually made the employees of Dezhuji know each other better, and there were also a few "star" employees among them. Among them were the original murderers of Liangshan, as well as these
The young disciples who were taught by others, and now under the publicity, most people in Zhuji know that so-and-so in a certain building is very good at fighting, and that so-and-so is willing to help others. After the spring of this year, most people in the capital
When they gathered to receive the red envelopes, Ning Yi also asked Zhu Biao to compete with Gongsun Sheng from the compound. Although the competition was mostly a performance, both of them were masters, and it still opened everyone's eyes.
In such competitions, the most popular ones are the warriors gathered in Bamboo Records. In addition, the backgammon competition first started in Tan'er's cloth shop. It was Juan'er who first taught the female workers of the cloth shop to play chess.
With Myolie, and then Su Taner
So they simply held a backgammon competition among employees. Most of these female workers were not very smart. They could not play the popular game Go, but backgammon was quite simple. Recently, the company has been conducting numerous competitions and selections for this purpose.
In Bamboo Records, the same competition was taken over by Yunzhu, the original owner of the restaurant, and even several shopkeepers participated in it, preparing to select the most powerful people, and then join forces with Buhang to organize a "
Finals".
At this time, Confucianism had not yet reached the stage of upholding the principles of nature and extinguishing human desires. Although there were many requirements for women, they were not enough to be called indecent by just looking at them. In these competitions, sometimes men and women looked at each other.
Get to know each other, have a good impression, and
It's normal. The couples that have become couples at this time can be regarded as the happiest thing for Tan'er. Since last year, every time there is a similar thing, whether it is a marriage proposal or a wedding, Tan'er or Ning Yi will appear in person.
, send a bride price or serve as the officiant.
Check the items to be taken to Luliang, talk about recent events, and explain the next operation of "Suning". Although they have just returned home, there is not much time for the couple. After moving the things, they will spend time with Su Wending and Myolie at home.
After waiting for others to finish talking, Ning Yi went to see Ning Xi again. The almost two-year-old child liked to run around stumbling around. Ning Yi and Tan'er held hands and followed in the corridor, which was regarded as some free time.
"Dad, mother, you can't catch up with me -" the child said in a milky voice in front, and then fell to the ground. Tan'er said "Hey" and wanted to run over, but Ning Yi laughed.
He stopped and said, "Boy, what does it matter if you fall?"
Sure enough, Ning Xi put his hands on the ground, and then stood up unsteadily. He patted his dusty hands, and then stretched his two small hands into the rain curtain outside the eaves. Ning Yi and Tan'er finally
Still smiling, he went over and wiped his palms clean with a handkerchief.
Not long after, Yunzhu also came back in the rain. She talked to Ning Yi about the backgammon competition. In a blink of an eye, it was getting dark, and when it was time for dinner, the family sat together. There were already a lot of people at this time, and Tan
Er, Xiaochan, Yunzhu, Jin'er, Wen Ding, Wen Fang... Jin'er has taken off the bandage on her head, but because of the bandage around her forehead,
Because of his head, he still looked thin and haggard at this time, and the skin on his forehead was particularly pale. Ning Yi gave some instructions about what to do after leaving. The most important thing was the issue of the Ning family’s own private school. Through the Prime Minister’s Office and the Yao family,
The relationship between the Wang family and the matter of hiring a husband has basically been settled, and all the subsequent secular affairs are now under their watch.
At this time, "Suning" in the capital was already a real big family. After dinner, Ning Yi actually asked Wen Ding and others to go aside to talk, asking them not to bully Yunzhu, Jin'er and the others...
****************
Due to Ning Yi's return, although the heavy rain was still falling, the house still seemed lively and lively in the night. After Jin'er returned to the room, she crossed her legs on the bed, stretched out her hand to support her chin, feeling a little novel, but also somewhat disappointed.
What's new to her is that this is her first time with Ning Yi and Su Tan'er since she married.
Sister Yunzhu gathered together to eat. Several women shared a man. Even if they liked him, it was impossible to say good about it. Of course, the most important thing was that there had been a misunderstanding between her and the eldest lady, and now there is still a misunderstanding.
It seemed strange. She felt complicated because of this, and most of the loss in her heart came from this.
Of course, this feeling did not make her feel depressed, and this was also the destination of most women like her. She tried hard to make herself feel that she had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Ning Yiruo came to her later to say a few words
She had to act cheerfully and then chat with Sister Yunzhu... Thinking of this, Ning Yi arrived later than she expected.
It was getting late, and when she wanted to go out to chat with Sister Yunzhu, Ning Yi came in from outside and startled her. Ning Yi closed the door, took her hand to the bedside, and asked her to sit down.
"I just came from your sister Yunzhu's place. Jin'er, after marrying you, we haven't had a good talk like this. I'm leaving tomorrow. There are some things I want to tell you specifically."
Ning Yi moved a chair and put it down not far from the window, Ning Yi's tone was serious.
This is going to teach me a lesson - Jin'er thought in her heart, but she didn't feel uncomfortable. In fact, such a conversation is the right thing to do. She has just passed the house as a concubine, and if he wants to leave, he must be looking for her.
She told her some things, such as not to quarrel with the eldest sister, to take care of the overall situation, etc. Because Ning Yi was formal, she obediently sat on the edge of the bed with her legs together, her hands on her knees, waiting for the man to come.
Train him.
Ning Yi sat on the chair, and then felt that the distance between the two was a little farther away, so he dragged the chair a little closer. He held Jin'er's hands, thought for a moment, and smiled: "Actually, I am leaving tomorrow, because
Such and such things, I know that getting married is a bit hasty, and I won’t have much time to spend with you in the future, but no matter what, Jin’er, you are married and you are one of my wives, so... I will stay here tonight
I’ll stay with you here, okay?”
Jin'er blinked, a little confused about the title of "wife", but her face was already red and her head was a little dizzy. She felt that she should have nodded and said something, and the man in front of her also said the same.
"Bridal chamber" or something like that. Then everything started to get a little confusing.
It took them a while before they got to bed and chatted for a while, but Jin'er couldn't remember clearly what they were talking about. She only remembered the hot breath, and she felt that she should take it easy, because she should know
She actually knew everything, but she was still nervous and uneasy. The man picked her up and put her down. She didn't resist, and even tried to help, but she felt that her movements were clumsy. The clearer feeling was that her clothes were being taken off.
that time
There was a hint of coolness, because the coolness came from her legs. At that time, her tight-fitting trousers had been removed. She remembered that she had heard of some actions before. Although it was a bit shameless to do them, it was obvious to her man that it was enough to please him.
Okay, but she also forgot whether she had done those actions. When she recalled it, she had no idea what she was doing. She only remembered that when the unfamiliar pain came from her body, her heart felt heavy and relieved, and she felt very at ease.
…
The night lasted for a long time. In the last memory, Ning Yi wiped her body for her. She wanted to go by herself, but she finally fell into a deep sleep.
It was early in the morning when she woke up. She hugged his body and still wanted to sleep, but she remembered that he would leave before dawn, so she wanted to get up and prepare hot water for him to wash up. But Ning Yi stopped her.
When he got up, she looked at the man, knowing that he would be gone for a while, so she looked at him for a long time, and finally she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
****************
The rain has stopped, it's still dark, and a big lantern is lit at the door of Ning's mansion. The motorcade has set off. Ning Yi bids farewell to Tan'er, Xiaochan, Yunzhu and others, hugging each of them and kissing their foreheads.
, did the same thing to Ning Xi. When he was about to get into the car, he looked back at the deep mansion and the people who saw him off.
In the small building in the distance, a woman wrapped in a sheet secretly poked her head out of the window and looked out the courtyard gate...
"Let's go."
Zhu Biao greeted him and got into the car together. Seeing his expression, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I feel...a bit sorry."
"Ah? Who am I sorry for?"
"You are so handsome, but you don't understand even if I tell you."
"Uh..." Zhu Biao was stunned for a long time and scratched his neck, "Then... what should I say next..."
"Let's go." Ning Yi smiled and said, "Let's go to Luliang."
"Let's set off -" Zhu Biao shouted outside, then smiled and became excited, "I can see Senior Lu again. This time I want to ask her for some tips, haha..."
In the misty sky, the motorcade started to move and gradually moved away from the mansion. After a while, it passed through the streets and through the city. In the mist and morning light of early summer, it headed towards the unclaimed land that was completely different from the Central Plains——
Luliang Mountain drove away. At the same time, a woman named Lou Shuwan led a team under Tian Hu to leave Hebei and turned towards Luliang. Before this, none of them thought that something unexpected would happen.
