Chapter five hundred and eighty third Yan Su's advice
"Rely on wind power to drive the column gear, and care about the column gear driving the gears below. If the gears are matched, and a sliding iron is applied, it can run easily. Mr. Kamiya, can you try it yourself?"
Ye An turned the fan with a smile. With just one movement, the fan on the model continued to rotate. At the same time, it also drove the millstone below. A soybean was crushed to pieces with a click.
Yan Su's eyes were bright.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it a try!"
Pushing the fan blades with his own hands, Yan Su was surprised that the fan blades were not as heavy as he imagined. They started to rotate quickly with just a slight push. The fan that was supposed to rotate slowly was like a "hot wheel".
The millstone below also rotated too fast and fell out of its slot.
Although the millstone was small, it was made according to proportions and was carefully carved from large bluestone. It hit his foot firmly, making Li Zunxun scream like a pig...
Yan Su looked embarrassed, crossed his hands and saluted Li Zunxun, and then turned his attention to the inside of the windmill, hoping to see clearly from the holes. Although Ye An had already explained the principle, he had no idea what the real situation was.
of.
In Li Zunxu's dissatisfaction, Ye An took apart one side of the windmill, and the internal structure of the windmill was instantly revealed. As the fan rotated, the complex transmission gears inside rotated rapidly in front of Yan Su. Although they were densely packed,
Every gear has its role.
Yan Su carefully removed a gear with his hands, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, then turned to look at Ye An and said: "This is not the same as the ordinary tooth bite, nor is it the herringbone tooth bite. This thing is quite strange.
!”
Ye An smiled: "This is tooth bite, or it should be called a gear more appropriately, but it is not a perfect circle, but slanted, so it will be more labor-saving to install it flatly on the windmill, right? Sir, you can take a look,
These small gears are made of wood and covered with a thin layer of iron. This is..."
"Well, in order to make it smoother!" After Yan Su finished speaking, he gently touched the gear with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it: "You also added soybean oil? But it's a pity, the soybean oil has been used for a long time,
There will definitely be oil residue, which needs to be cleaned up in time. Otherwise, the oil residue and dust will mix with each other, which will hinder the windmill. However, if oil is not used, it is difficult to ensure that the iron sheets will not rust, which is also a troublesome matter!
"
As expected, he was an expert. Li Zunxun quickly asked: "What should I do in Mr. Yi's opinion?"
Yan Su glanced at Li Zunxu, then immediately avoided the topic and looked at Ye Andao: "I never thought that you, at such a young age, would have such views on the study of things. It really surprised me. I heard that Ye Hou left with a crown in the palace. It really surprised me."
It’s a great story, why did you come back to Tokyo again?”
Ye An smiled and shook his head and said: "My family's property is all in Tokyo, and I don't dare to neglect my official studies, so I'm back here again."
Yan Su took a deep breath and looked at the young man in front of him again. He spoke so loudly that the officials were just like his classmates in his mouth. It was really a bit arrogant.
"Are you planning to return to the court and become a lonely minister?!"
Ye An shook his head: "Ye An has no errands for the time being, so what kind of lonely minister is he? He is just a lecturer for the officials. He comes and goes as soon as he is called..."
"Resentment! There shouldn't be such resentment! No matter scholars or officials, they all put the country first in their hearts! You should uphold the four hearts of Mencius: compassion, shame, respect, right and wrong to establish yourself! How can you have any resentment against the Heavenly Family?
?! If the saint reprimands you, you can hang up your hat and leave, but where will such behavior reach the officialdom?!"
Ye An stared at the middle-aged man in front of him dumbfounded. This was to remind him that he had nothing to do with Liu E's anger, but he could not create a gap with the official family and should do his part.
Unexpectedly, Yan Su was not only good at investigating things, but also had such a clear understanding of matters in the court.
Even Li Zunxu suddenly understood and looked at Ye Andan anxiously: "Yes! Changsheng, it's okay for you to have a disagreement with the saint. Civil servants wish you were like this, but you can't slack off when you should give lectures to officials. This is your big fault."
!”
Yan Su looked at Ye An with an expression that you only know, but it made Ye An feel helpless. If he really followed the rules of the officialdom, he had indeed gone too far, and what was the purpose of leaving with his title hanging?
It was to cut off ties with the officialdom and never return to the court again. But now that he has returned to Tokyo City, he still carries the title of Yunzhong Commandery and Marquis on his head. This is unclear and even a show.
Fortunately, with Liu E as a buffer, the civil servants' understanding of their behavior was more attributable to "not fearing the power of the Queen Mother" rather than being inconsistent from the beginning.
Ye An is not a fool. He also has political investments, but the person he invests in has always been Zhao Zhen. After all, he and Zhao Zhen are not much different in age. After Zhao Zhen takes charge, he will become his most trusted person.
So now Ye An doesn't value rights, or is even interested. He and Qin Mumu have enjoyed things that even emperors have never enjoyed. Whether it is food or life, they have surpassed emperors, so they are not interested in the rights of this era.
The pursuit of wealth is not that urgent.
They just want to run their own industry well and make some positive changes. Other than that, they really don't have any obsessions.
Respectfully bowing his hands to Yan Su, Ye An said slowly: "What you said is absolutely true! Ye An has learned a lesson!"
Yan Su nodded slightly, accepting Ye An's gift as a matter of course, and then smiled and said: "But your knowledge of investigating objects is really wonderful. Recently, a certain person has been using the method of carving leaks on the arrow pots of the Tang Dynasty to make carved objects.
There is a copper lotus leaf on the arrow pot, with a lotus in the middle of the leaf. And the carved arrow decorated with lotus pods on the upper end penetrates from the heart of the lotus, hence the name Lotus Leak. If you succeed, you can time it..."
After Yan Su finished speaking proudly, he saw Ye An smiling, while Li Zunxu next to him said with disdain on his face: "Have you not heard that Si Tianjian has a precise instrument that can measure the time of day, with a difference of three to five days?
Only a fraction of a second?! This thing is exactly what the official family of Changsheng first did!"
Yan Su was shocked and looked at Ye An and said: "That watch was made by you?! How wonderful! How wonderful! But a certain family heard that this thing cannot be copied. This is a great legacy!"
Ye An shook his head: "It cannot be copied for the time being. It will take some time. When the art of copper and iron forging becomes more and more refined, you can be very persistent. However, if you have a precise method of dripping copper pots, sir, it should be a good deed! Drip dripping
Although the method is not as accurate as the method of using instruments, it is better in that it can be made, and it is also better than the carved arrow pots of the Tang Dynasty. It can be extended to all states, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Unconsciously, Yan Su regarded Ye An as a confidant and nodded repeatedly: "That's it! Tomorrow, I will bring the utensils to let Marquis Ye take a look! Please also ask Ye Marquis to give you some advice!"
"
Ye An didn't even dare, but whispered: "Sir, do you still want to explore the wonders of studying things?"
"I must be thinking about it!"
The decisive voice startled Li Zunxu, but Ye An said: "Then sir, you are going to give lectures here! I am short of manpower here!"
After hesitating again and again, Yan Su nodded and said: "Forget it! I will give lectures to you, but I also need to listen carefully when you lecture!"
Ye An laughed and said: "This is natural. I will hand over the letter of appointment to Mr. tomorrow!"
