Chapter 66 The New Waterwheel (Part 2)
After finally building this water truck, Zhu Youxiao was worried again: "Zhang Xiaoban, where should I try this thing?"
Zhang Yong was also worried that the water truck needed to be placed in a place with a large gap in the river, but not to mention the Forbidden City, even the capital could not find such a place. If you want to test the water truck, you can only go to the western suburbs or the northern suburbs to test it. But can Zhu Youxiao leave the palace at will? I am afraid that someone would stop him before he even walked out of the palace gate.
What if he took Zhu Youxiao out of the palace secretly? It is impossible. The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace don’t know who are the eyes and ears of Wanli, who are Zhu Changluo, and who are the eyes and ears of civil servants.
Zhang Yong knew very well that in the original time and space, Zhu Youxiao was rescued immediately after falling into the water. The so-called root cause of the disease was actually a cold. However, after the cold, he took the medicine from the imperial doctor, and the more he took the medicine, the more he was, the more he was in a serious condition. Later, the Shangshu Huo Weihua presented a fairy medicine called Linglu Drink. Because it tasted sweet and delicious, Zhu Youxiao drank it every day, but ended up having swelling, edema all over his body, and eventually he couldn't get up.
Therefore, falling into the water is not the real cause of death by Apocalypse, but the real cause of death lies in those medicines.
From this we can see how many reliable palace maids and eunuchs around us are? Why didn’t Emperor Zhengde live in the palace but built a leopard house? It was because he knew that there were many civil servant groups around him.
Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the civil servant group took the opportunity to seize the military power of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao has been fighting against the civil servant group, wanting to regain military power. In fact, there is a shadow of the civil servant group behind the rebellion of King Ning! The civil servant group hates Zhu Houzhao even more. Therefore, Wang Yangming, who suppressed the rebellion of King Ning, was not favored by the civil servant group.
Later, when Zhu Houzhao fell into the water, it should be Yang Tinghe who was the real murderer of Zhu Houzhao. Otherwise, if a person with such a strong body could fight against a tiger and bear, how could such a person die of illness four months after falling into the water?
What else is there about Jiang Bin? The civil servant group framed Jiang Bin and said that Jiang Bin colluded with King Ning and attempted to rebel. Jiang Bin was promoted by Zhu Houzhao, so how could he collude with King Ning? After Zhu Houzhao fell into the water, he was controlled. Jiang Bin couldn't meet him even if he wanted to see the emperor.
The poor King Xin didn't suddenly realize until he hung on the crooked tree: all civil officials in the world can be killed! Unfortunately, he woke up too late. When he woke up, not only did the entire Ming Dynasty finish, but China also fell into darkness from then on.
Every time he thought of this, Zhang Yong still broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to help the Tianqi eradicate the vested interest groups of civil servants. That is, in the center of this whirlpool of political struggle, he took a wrong step and was smashed to pieces. But history returned to its original time and space. The Tartars stole China, and since then it created a dark period of nearly three hundred years. To the later more than a thousand treason treaties, the remaining troubles continued to harm until the 21st century.
To stop the Tartars from stealing the Central Plains, they must first start from the inside and uproot the entire civil servant gentry group! Not only the Donglin Party, but also many northern gentry within the eunuch Party, and they will eventually be eliminated.
Later, after the wild boar skin died, he went to hell. When he learned the truth, he cursed: Damn, it’s not enough to bring the system to travel through time, and he still has to wear it together. Does this Damn make people live?
One gradually controls military power outside, and the other plays conspiracies in the palace, and takes the emperor to the path of strange and lewd skills. The unscrupulous brothers and a black-hearted uncle cooperate perfectly.
Those are the things that happened later. Now the most urgent task is to enable the waterwheel built by the carpenter emperor to be able to rotate first.
Wei Zhongxian thought of a solution: "My little brother, you can make a table, then build a large wooden basin, put the wooden basin on the table, make a sink, and draw the water down. Let those who are small firemen fetch water and pour it into the wooden basin. After the water is full, the wooden basin will start to open the gate and release water, so that the water wheel can move?"
"Then let's follow Wei Dalian!" Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed.
Building a platform is a matter for the little fireman, but Zhu Youxiao still couldn't stop. He spread the hydraulic lathe drawings drawn by Zhang Yong on the stone table and started to specialize in research.
"My master, please take a break. Eunuch Zhang's friends are here. They are heroes from Liaodong." Wei Zhongxian felt sorry for Zhu Youxiao who had been busy for several days and kindly advised him.
Zhu Youxiao listened to Wei Zhongxian's words very much. He carefully rolled up the drawings, then asked someone to bring a tea and fruit plate to greet Huang Degong and Kong Youde: "Two, sit down, you are both Zhang Xiaoban's friends, there is no need to be restrained in front of me."
Huang Degong and Kong Youde were flattered by the greeting of Emperor Changsun, and they hurriedly knelt down: "I will meet Emperor Changsun!"
"Get up and come here to sit down." Zhu Youxiao said.
Huang Degong and Kong Youde stood up and walked to the stone bench. Although Huang Changsun asked them to sit down, the two of them seemed very restrained. They sat on the stool, with only half of their butts on it.
Zhu Youxiao asked some questions in Liaodong curiously. The two of them said it in a trembling manner, but Zhang Yong helped them add a lot. When talking about the Battle of Kaiyuan, Zhang Yong was like telling stories, speaking vividly, just like he had visited Kaiyuan battlefield in person. In fact, he heard it from Huang Degong.
"Zhang Xiaoban, when will your good brother named Gao Shixin bring him into the palace? I want to meet this great hero who killed the Tartars!" Zhu Youxiao said.
Okay, there is a chance! Zhang Yong was happy. Since the future carpenter emperor has spoken, the next thing will be much easier. As long as the emperor Changsun asks Gao Shixin to enter the palace, he may meet Wanli. He will probably not have any big problems to get a Jinyiwei family for his elder brother.
"My uncle, my elder brother will not enter the capital after a few days. He has a childhood sweetheart fiancee in Tongzhou, who is the daughter of Yuan Qianhu's family. Unfortunately, a scholar from the other side of the shore came to take away his love. Yuan Qianhu thought that our military status was not as good as a civil servant, so he would rather marry his daughter to a poor scholar than marry his daughter to my elder brother." Zhang Yongdao.
"Pa" Zhu Youxiao slapped the table and stood up: "I don't like those scholars! My father forced me to read those sage books all day long. When I saw those books, my head would swell and hurt!"
The carpenter emperor hated the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight-Legendary essays very much. On the contrary, during this period, Zhang Yong was very interested in what he said about the earth, gravity, physical knowledge, etc. He was instilled by Zhang Yong, a treacherous person, in fact, many fallacies such as the study of studying things is the foundation of a strong country, and Confucianism is useless.
The carpenter emperor, who was instilled with fallacies, certainly had no favoritism for scholars who read the books of sages.
When the carpenter emperor looked at the world map drawn by Zhang Yong for him, he was amazed that the world was too big and the Ming Dynasty only occupied a very small part of the world.
There are other mountains of gold and silver on the other side of the ocean, which can’t be moved. Unfortunately, those treasures have been occupied by the Thai Red and Mass. The reason why the Thai Red and Mass can occupy such a large land is because they own a giant ship of three thousand materials, and a giant ship can carry eighty four or five thousand kilograms of red and Mass cannons. How did all this be done? Of course, it is a magical investigation.
Zhang Yong, the treacherous slander, also instigated that carpenter work is actually the principle of investigating things, which made the carpenter emperor even more obsessed.
Anyway, Huang Degong and Kong Youde were both idle, so they watched a group of small firemen working in the palace and building a platform, which was quite interesting.
Not long after, a small platform appeared in the yard of Chenghua Palace.
Both the large wooden basin and the wooden trough used to divert water were ready-made. Zhu Youxiao, under the guidance of Zhang Yong, opened a hole in the wooden basin and installed a gate.
Everything was ready, and the small firemen went to fetch water according to Wei Zhongxian's order and poured it into a large wooden basin. Not long after, they were filled with water in a large wooden basin.
The water truck model was placed in the wooden trough below. Seeing that the water in the wooden basin was filled, Zhu Youxiao personally opened the gate, and the water in the wooden basin flowed out and flowed down the sink. The water flow hit the blades of the water truck, and the water truck rotated rapidly.
"This water truck is spinning so fast!" Kong Youde widened his eyes, "Where is the water truck I have seen before that fast?"
Chapter completed!
