After a meal, all the teachers and students in the hospital burst into tears, and Li Shengna felt a chill down his back.
What the hell, I just went back to the Central Plains to celebrate the New Year, and these people all looked like they were mourning.
It made Li Sheng's scalp feel tight. Could something happen to him when he went back...
But what surprised Li Sheng was that professors Fang Ming'er, Du Xuan'er, and Wei Ziyu also wanted to follow him back to Chang'an.
This surprised Li Sheng. Wei Ziyu didn't know what was going on a few days ago, but suddenly he claimed that he had accomplished nothing and would never return to Chang'an. Now...
But Li Sheng was born in modern times, so what kind of fragrance has he not seen before?
Although Wei Ziyu's face was red, Li Sheng had long been used to it and didn't take it to heart at all.
but……
After returning this time, Wei Ziyu did not go back to her home to celebrate the New Year with her legendary Prime Minister Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, she went to live in her own house in the west of Chang'an City to borrow it to celebrate the New Year with her father.
This made Li Sheng couldn't help but admire him very much.
Well, the descendants of Yan and Huang in this era still retain a side that emphasizes promises and neglects life and death...
However, after sighing, Li Sheng returned to Youzhou and spent the New Year happily with the fellow Youzhou fellows who had been accompanying him for the past ten years.
…
On the first day of the new year, Li Sheng rushed straight to Chang'an without delay.
This is not to say that Li Sheng was tired of playing in Lingzhou and felt bored, so he wanted to go back to the more prosperous Chang'an to meet the lovely maid Ying'er or something...
It's because currently, there really isn't much to do in Lingzhou.
Mainly the most complicated part, basically it has nothing to do.
For the rest, build more solid buildings, dig sewers, and if you have a generous budget, try to build more beautiful cement roads and streets in towns and cities...
These tasks can be done by others without you having to do it yourself.
Li Sheng had already submitted a memorial, requesting Li Er to send the eunuch there. Since he had something to do and could not go there, he had already received the permission.
The new prefect Li Er also selected one from among the imperial examination scholars with a background in Chengxi Academy.
Such new intellectuals serve as governors and lead Northwestern Polytechnical College...
I can accomplish those tasks no matter what.
And Li Sheng felt that he couldn't handle things in Lingzhou...
He brought it back directly.
This time when he returned to the Central Plains, in addition to bringing the best mutton, a specialty of Saibei, to eat during the New Year, as well as Maca, wolfberry, Assam black tea and other products to drink slowly... Li Sheng also brought back something else.
To be precise, it is a plan.
This plan is none other than what Li Sheng had planned to carry out when he was in Lingzhou...
Steam engine, prototype trial production plan!
Li Sheng didn't know whether Old Wei understood this steam engine.
If only Lao Wei had understood and remembered it, and later actually built a steam engine based on the principles, and successfully streamlined its engineering, made it lightweight, and brought it to ships...
Then Li Sheng estimated that Lao Wei might become the Drake of the Tang Dynasty...
In his previous life, the Englishman Drake was a great hero in the American expedition, and his status was equal to that of China's Ban Chao and Ban Gu brothers.
And if Lao Wei, Lao Li and the others can get back on their feet...
This credit is definitely not inferior to that of Drake!
The name has been spread throughout the ages, and as long as China is immortal and the incense continues, there will be no problem!
But that’s what it is said…
Li Sheng felt that it would be difficult for Wei at his age to learn new things.
If we want China to be reborn in the future...
It's hard to say, I have to do this myself, start this.
Apart from anything else, let’s get a marine steam engine out...
It will be more convenient if I want to go out to sea for fishing or something in the future.
It's also for this reason.
Li Sheng decided that it would be better to prepare a few steam engines and put them away early. Who knows when they will be used.
As for the steam engine, it's really hard to get it done in Lingzhou.
If we can get it done in Lingzhou, we have to wait at least half a year.
In Lingzhou's industrial zone, whether it is factory planning or factory building construction, not to mention that it is done entirely in accordance with modern standards, at least it is at an advanced level among "modern factories."
Although seemingly identical cement buildings have different details, the degree of "reasonable planning" is different, and the technical content is also vastly different.
Although Li Sheng left behind design drawings, planning drawings, and even many key construction indicators...
But in terms of time, first of all, the teachers and students of Northwest College have to spend a long time digesting it.
Not to mention that during construction, it would take a lot of time to coordinate and communicate with the local farmers and herdsmen recruited as well as the Turkic war slaves who were conscripted into slavery and did not understand the language.
Li Sheng estimated that the fastest construction period would probably take half a year to complete.
At this time, Lingzhou does not have any industrial production capacity.
What does that mean?
That is to say, a steam engine will be trial-produced in Lingzhou...
The talent team is sufficient. Li Sheng leads the team, and there are also a lot of free college scholars working as academic migrant workers...
But there’s really no place to get the raw materials.
All I can do is stare!
Of course, Lingzhou is not without blacksmiths. The parts required for steam engines can also be customized by local blacksmiths in Lingzhou.
But the problem lies here, waiting for the manual blacksmith to create mechanical parts under industrial standards...
Or most of the products are not up to standard, leading to direct disputes...
Or I don’t know how long it will take until the end of the year of the monkey.
Chang'an is different. There are ten blast furnace steel plants built with Li Er's money, as well as a large number of excellent blacksmiths hired with huge sums of money.
These blacksmiths are different from the local blacksmiths in Lingzhou. They are all old masters and have a deep understanding of their craftsmanship. Their efficiency is fundamentally different.
When we get to Chang'an, even customizing handmade parts takes much faster time.
So Li Sheng naturally had to go back to Chang'an to arrange this matter.
Steam engine!
Steam it hard for me and that’s it!
…
At the same time, Li Shengda was spending a lot of money, steaming up steam, and immersed himself in experiments.
Within the palace...
Manna Palace!
On this day, Li Er was busy with official duties, and suddenly there were footsteps beside him.
Li Er did not raise his head, but a smile appeared on his lips.
It's really rude to run into the emperor's office without saying hello.
But in the palace, there are no more than three people who can be so rude!
really……
Following the footsteps, an alluring aroma floated over.
"Erlang, it's just the beginning of spring, and it's still cold today. Why did you take off your down jacket?"
"Haha, Guanyin, you are becoming more and more nagging..."
Li Er complained, but his eyes were filled with smiles.
Now the Tang Dynasty has no worries at home or abroad, and there is also Li Sheng, the Dinghai Shenzhen, who is said to have recently returned to the west of Chang'an City.
I simply don’t have to worry about anything and am in a great mood!
But after hearing this, Queen Changsun came to Li Er and slapped him angrily.
"Erlang, are you so angry again? The child gave it to you. You don't like wearing it, do you?"
"That's true. Of course it's not that I don't like wearing it. How could I dare? Hahahahahahaha! ... Mainly because it's too hot!"
