"Your Majesty, the steam engine you are talking about...is this the steam engine I have seen from His Highness?"
"Yes, exactly!"
…
Li Er suddenly mentioned the word steam engine, and Wei Zheng and others were instantly shocked.
The steam engine is a big killer weapon in His Highness's hands. Even His Highness takes it extremely seriously. It is obviously of great value and must not be taken lightly.
But that being said, on the other hand...
This request made by Li Er is somewhat outrageous...
Wei Zheng apologized with an embarrassed smile and said, "Your Majesty, you also know that our brains are completely different from His Highness's... Let us wait for a copy..."
Hearing Wei Zheng directly express that it was too difficult, Li Er's face immediately turned pale.
Ma De, don't I know that you are stupider than my Sheng'er?
I also know that I am stupider than Sheng'er!
This does not require you to make one yourself, but...
Li Er frowned, "It's just copying. Is it that difficult?"
"But……"
When Li Er said this, Wei Zheng became even more embarrassed for a moment.
Ah, everyone knows the truth. It sounds really simple, but...
"this……"
Wei Zheng was immediately speechless...
"Well, it's getting late..."
Du Ruhui looked around and talked about him...
"Your Majesty, after all we..."
Fang Xuanling simply smiled bitterly.
Li Er was speechless. He took a breath and then said,
"Okay, then I'll just give up on this old face, and just ask Sheng'er for a drawing!"
"With the drawings..."
Speaking of this, Li Er's eyes became empty.
"You must have something to do, right?"
…
Li Er's mission was basically an impossible mission.
But when he said this...
Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Are you looking for drawings from His Highness?"
If this is the case……
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling are all old people in Tiance Mansion. After all, they are not fooling around in vain. Thinking about it this way, it seems that they can really give it a try.
Li Er nodded.
"That's right, I asked the eldest prince directly for a blueprint. With the blueprint, maybe you can make one for me?"
Wei Zheng and others looked at each other, this time they all fell into deep thought, thinking carefully about the feasibility.
Finally, I thought about it for a long time...
Among the three, Du Ruhui finally said slowly, "It might not be impossible if we use top craftsmen who make grenades!"
When Du Ruhui said this, Wei Zheng, who was still thinking, suddenly understood.
Yes, the craftsmen who made grenades.
This group of craftsmen, when they first made grenades, were top craftsmen recruited from all over the country with Li Er paying a lot of money and personally supervised by Du Ruhui.
Now that the grenade factory has been operating for more than a year, the craftsmanship and wisdom of these craftsmen are only getting stronger.
If these people can be used, then...
According to the drawings, it seems that it is not difficult to imitate a steam engine!
Of course, there may still be some difficulty in assembly.
But since you can follow the drawings, have something like this to guide you, and spend more effort, then things may not be so difficult...
Of course, if you really don’t know how, the worst possible option is to secretly go to Chengxi Academy or Lingzhou...
Thinking like this, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't help but glance at Wei Zheng with grimaces, which made Wei Zheng feel uncomfortable and thought something was going on.
But then, Li Er asked everyone again.
This time, Wei Zheng and others actually nodded.
When Li Er saw everyone finally nodding, his eyes widened and he was filled with energy.
He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but his whole body seemed very excited.
Both relieved and excited, this strange state made Wei Zheng and others a little scared.
This expression, why does it look so devilish...
And in this whole matter, although everyone agreed to the imitation, but...
What is the use of this, I am still confused.
Isn't this a steam engine or something like that...
"His Majesty?"
Wei Zheng whispered, "Isn't this steam engine something for ships in the sea? Why do we want to build this..."
This was not only Wei Zheng's doubt, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling on the side were also very surprised.
Seeing the expressions of these people,
Li Er's expression tightened, but then he smiled and said,
"Because I thought of something."
"You said..."
"This steam engine can be used to propel ships."
"Then if the size and location are changed...can it also be used for plowing and plowing?"
…
Li Er's question immediately stopped Wei Zheng and others.
Several people were dumbfounded at the same time...
Looking at the problem from this angle is too tricky.
It can be used in the sea and on ships, but why can’t it be used on land?
Everyone thinks this thing is for ships, and subconsciously thinks that it can only be used for ships...
But that's because of its huge size.
If it is not installed on the ship, where else can it be installed?
But when Li Er said this...
Things became extremely exciting.
It can only be used on ships because of its huge size, so can we make it smaller?
!!!
At this moment, the scalps of Wei Zheng and others went numb.
Everyone has seen His Highness's big ship.
To put it bluntly, it can be called the largest ship in history.
And this steam engine can even push such a big ship...
What's so hard about using it to pull a plow?
Even though Wei Zheng and others couldn't figure out how to do it specifically.
But Li Er's idea suddenly reminded them.
Even if I don’t have any ideas for the time being,...
But my intuition told me that this thing is feasible!
At least, it is definitely possible to succeed!
When you look at it this way, it's very scary.
In the Central Plains, where so many people have to make a living, there are no conditions to maintain pastures to raise cattle and sheep.
Although cattle are an extremely important livelihood resource, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the economic pillar of China.
However, due to the above reasons, there are still only a small number of them so far. In fact, it is still a very luxurious thing.
Many people's families simply cannot afford to buy cattle for farming.
If it weren't for this,
Human beings are the supreme beings among all creatures, so why should we punish them with serious crimes if we slaughter a cow for food?
There is really no way!
but……
If Li Er's idea is finally feasible.
Then by then...
The future of Datang is truly limitless.
the reason is simple.
Originally, there were not many pastures in the Central Plains, but there were quite a few... Although the area occupied by these pastures cannot be compared with cultivated land, it is still about one-quarter and one-third——
We must consider that this was the early Tang Dynasty, when the population was still sparse, and there were many uninhabited lands, which could all be regarded as pastures.
In the future, the population will increase and there will gradually be no more no man's land like this.
