After Maxing out all Classes - Chapter 995
[Chapter 993 Fanwai·Business Wisdom]
City of Ronin.
This is the capital of Dongtu Tang Dynasty, with a population of 1.5 million. In terms of population size, it is the largest city in the entire world, even more than Robb’s West Wind City and Shuangqing City.
The huge population has brought great potential to the city and the pride of the kingdom of heaven.
At this time, Shang Huizheng was summoned by the emperor and came to the palace. Due to the special identities of Shang Hui and Godfather, the emperor of the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty did not dare to neglect her, so he set up two rows of civil and military officials and summoned them in the main hall.
Shang Hui walked through the two rows of civil and military officials and came to the throne, and respectfully bowed to the emperor: “Long live my emperor!”
A warm smile appeared on the emperor’s face: “No ceremony, no ceremony! I heard that Aiqing I have something very interesting to present to me, I don’t know what it is?”
Shang Hui said: “Your Majesty! What Caomin wants to present to you is something called a steam engine, which can help us complete various tasks. This kind of thing has begun to be widely used in the Western world. Caomin wants to donate it to the Tang Dynasty for free, so that our country can also make rapid progress with the help of the steam engine.”
“Oh?” The emperor felt interesting: “Take that steam engine. Come and have a look.” The
palace guards went out and sent an order, and soon, a group of civilians walked in with a huge machine.
This huge machine looks very heavy. When it was placed on the ground in the hall, the emperor was a little worried about his beautiful white marble floor, but don’t be crushed by this machine. But forget it, as the emperor, don’t be so stingy, it’s a big deal if the floor is crushed, and the craftsmen should make a new one. Anyway, I have a lot of white marble, so I can’t seem too petty.
The steam engine was put away, but no one could understand what this thing was.
Shang Hui gave an order, and the people started to demonstrate.
Put in the coal, start the fire, connect the gear on the shaft, and hang the rope. Soon, the steam engine turned on, rumbled and turned, pulling the rope, and then the rope pulled a large grinding wheel, and the grinding wheel turned and ground the tofu.
The emperor and a group of ministers widened their eyes to look at the diorama, but found that the machine was only grinding tofu.
A minister couldn’t help sweating: “Ms. Shang, your machine looks very powerful, but it turns out that it is only used to grind tofu? I don’t think you need to use a special machine for grinding tofu. Get a cow or A donkey can grind a mill, but if there is no cow or donkey, you can still use a human to grind the mill.”
Shang Hui smiled and said, “This machine was invented to save manpower.
” Why do you need a machine to do things with manpower?”
The ministers next to him nodded together: “Of course! This machine only knows how to rotate, and it doesn’t know how to change it at all, but it’s much better to use people to grind the mill. Turn, stop when you want to stop, fast when you want to be fast, slow when you want to be slow, how can human wisdom be compared to a machine.”
Shang Hui: “It can’t be said like this, manpower is sometimes poor, we use machines to save money. After the manpower is released, people can free their hands, free more time from heavy labor, and do more creative and artistic things.”
“Cut! Nonsense!” Ministers expressed boredom: “This machine It’s just a toy, it’s useless.”
A military officer next to him reminded them in a low voice: “Civil ministers, you should be careful when you talk to the businesswoman, she is… that man’s woman, you are so ignorant to her. Li, beware of that man coming to trouble you.” The
civil servants sneered: “When have we ever been afraid? Is it because we are afraid of a powerful enemy that we dare not speak out the truth? Don’t say we are not afraid of that man, even if the emperor sends it out. The wrong imperial decree, I dare to use the head to give death advice, why do you have it?” The
military officer was speechless, well, the civil servants of the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty are notoriously hard-necked, and no one will give them face.
Shang Hui smiled at them: “You are not afraid of power and dare to speak out, that is right or wrong, and now you are willing to sacrifice your life to maintain a wrong idea, it will be terrible.” The
civil servants sneered: “I will wait. What’s wrong? You’re a broken machine, pushing and pushing the millstone, what’s the use? It consumes a lot of coal, and the gain outweighs the loss.”
Shang Hui said, “It’s just a machine that provides power, not only can it push the millstone? We can Use it to pull the behemoth that you can’t push with human power, it can push the train to rumble forward, and it can also drive the steel battleship to move forward fearlessly, it is not a toy, but the future!” The
civil servants shook their heads, sneered, and showed no interest. : “We can use 1,000 or 10,000 people to pull the behemoth. As long as enough people are dispatched, no matter how heavy it is, it can always be pulled. As for the train, we have also heard about it, but the train runs away. It’s not as fast as a galloping horse, isn’t it just that more things can be transported? We can surpass the train with five hundred carriages and one thousand carriages. As for the battleship, how can a battleship made of steel float on the sea? It’s full of nonsense. You confuse the emperor with such slanderous words, even if you are the woman of that man, we have to fight you.”
Shang Hui sighed: “Alas! I want to hand over the new technology to the country, but there are many frogs in the bottom of the well in the country. What’s the matter ?”
She was sighing when suddenly, a young eunuch ran in from outside and said loudly, “It’s not a big deal! It’s a big deal!” The
emperor squinted: “What are you panicking about? If you have something to report, don’t yell. The
little eunuch roared anxiously: “It is reported that the turbulent times of the Warring States Period in the Ghost Kingdom came to an end a few days ago, and a guy named Toyotomi Monkey unified the Ghost Kingdom. This guy’s self-confidence is inflated, and he actually wants to conquer my Eastland. The Tang Dynasty also madly said that he wanted to make the capital of Boning Port. At present, he has already sent troops to the Gaobang Kingdom, and he plans to conquer the Gaobang Kingdom first, and then use the Gaobang Kingdom as a springboard.” Civil servants: ” Ouch
! Ouch!”
They: “Send troops to Gaobang Kingdom and drive those damn ghosts back to the island.”
Civil servants: “But… the Gaobang Kingdom’s navy is amazing, our navy…”
At this time, Shang Hui stood up and said with a smile: “Let me leave this matter to you, just to show you the true power of the steam engine.”
More than three months later, the coast of Gaobang country.
A large group of civil servants and generals from the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty stood on a cliff by the coast, watching a battle that was taking place on the sea.
I saw that the sea was full of ironclad ships of the Ghost Kingdom, which looked extremely domineering. They are at war with the turtle ships of the Gobang country!
The turtle ship of the Gaobang Kingdom is also a very powerful warship, and its combat power is not bad, but because the national strength is too weak and the number of turtle ships is small, it is surrounded by a large number of ironclad ships of the Ghost Kingdom, and it is quite difficult to fight. On the bow of the boat were many turtle people who looked like water arrow turtles, and they were having fun fighting with the ghost people with horns on their heads.
When Shang Hui saw this scene, she couldn’t help sweating: “What kind of ghosts are these?”
The ministers next to him said happily: “Don’t you know? People in Gaobang Kingdom are turtle people! In the past, our two countries When the people of the People’s Republic of China held a sports meeting, they were dubbed the “tortoise and the hare race” by the people of the country of ghosts. But now we Datang people are no longer the head of the rabbit, hahaha, no longer the head of the rabbit. The tortoise-free race can no longer be safe. It’s on our heads, hahahaha!”
I don’t know how to spit it out, I will spit myself out, so forget it!
A civil servant turned to Shang Hui and said, “Ms. Shang, what kind of steel battleship are you talking about? Where is it?” Shang Hui smiled and said, ” It
will be there soon!”
The whistle of “woohoo” sounded in the distance, and two giant steel ships rushed over from the sea in the distance. The two ships were black in color, and there were two large steam waterwheels outside the ship, which were spinning rapidly. Then, paddling the sea water, let the two boats run very fast.
When the civil servants of the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty saw the ship, they immediately gasped, and once again made their valuable contribution to global climate change.
“What a big ship, made of steel!”
“It’s terrible!”
“How did this boat run?”
Shang Hui explained with a smile: “In the belly of this boat, there is something called a ‘steam engine’ that I showed you last time. It rowed desperately, so it moved quickly.”
Ministers: “So it is! It’s amazing.”
After a military general carefully looked at the two large ships for a while, he couldn’t help but ask: “Ms. Shang, Why don’t you have cannons on this ship? Uh…it seems to be two civilian merchant ships.”
Shang Hui smiled and said, “Sorry! I can’t transfer warships. My master does not agree to transfer steel warships to beat the Ghost Kingdom. He said, The existing steel battleships are all hung with the flag of the Gran Kingdom. If I bring the steel battleships belonging to the Gran Kingdom to participate in this war, the Gran Kingdom will also be involved in the war. This is not what my master wants to see. Therefore, I can only use the merchant ship that my family uses to fight in this battle.” As soon as
everyone heard this, their faces were half blue: “Is this the merchant ship used by your family?”
“Yeah . !” Shang Hui said: “The merchant ship doesn’t have any weapons, so… let’s use the collision to help.”
Everyone: “???”
The appearance of rushing over at that time was terrifying.
The ghost people exclaimed: “What the hell is that?”
“It’s a ship, a huge ship, a ship made of steel.”
“Ahhh!”
“Bump!” With a loud noise, the steel merchant ship collided with one On the ironclad ship of the Ghost Race, although the name of the ship is called “Ironclad Ship”, it is actually a wooden boat with some iron plates nailed on the outside. It is quite cheeky to call itself an ironclad ship. It was hit by a real steel battleship with all its strength and instantly turned into powder.
The next day, a minister surnamed Xu of the Tang Dynasty stood up and put forward the policy of “learning the skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians”. With the help of Shang Hui, he introduced steam engines in an all-round way and learned advanced science and technology. chase the road.
