Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Not long after Li Shen came back, heavy snow fell in various places. It was said that auspicious snow heralded a good harvest, which was a good thing for the people who grew chestnuts.

And Li Shen's coal industry has ushered in its peak season. In the first few years, the coal that Li Shen mined for several years was not sold out.

Only during that snowstorm did Li Shen start selling. Over the years, stoves and kangs have spread.

Li Shen's coal industry also grew rapidly, and it became popular all over the north to start burning coal for heating.

Although it is inevitable that people will die due to poisoning, they are in the minority.

After Li Shen came back, he returned to his life of doing nothing all day long, running rampant in the city every day,

Occasionally go out hunting, or fish for hot pot.

Today was the day when he went hunting in Dongshan. He came back after hunting some wild game, which made Li Shen unable to close his mouth.

He didn't even notice that all the fletchings on his prey were re-inserted.

Because Li Shen's crossbow arrows were exclusively used by Li Shen, they were specially customized in order to prove that he was good at archery and would not let others usurp his achievements.

When passing by the research institute, Li Shen realized that he had not gone to study for a long time, so he turned a corner and came to the research institute.

The person in charge of the institute saw King Ji coming and immediately called everyone to come out to greet him.

Li Shen took everyone to a large conference room. Li Shen stood in front,

"See His Highness Prince Ji."

"Well, excuse me. I am just passing by here this time. I stopped by to see if you have any research results and report them to me, so that I will be happy."

Li Shen smiled. These people are all talents and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge over the years.

"Your Majesty, our team has improved the shuttle of the loom. It is faster than the original shuttle and the efficiency has increased by 20%."

said a member of the team responsible for developing the loom.

"Twenty percent?" Li Shen praised happily:

"Okay, very good. You can rest assured that I will give you generous rewards according to the reward mechanism. I hope you will continue to work hard."

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji. One more thing. We are studying the water-powered spinning machines and looms that the Prince mentioned.

At present, the spinning machine has gained some attention, but the loom is still under research. "

This is the plan proposed by Li Shen.

"Well, if you need anything, just ask. The palace will meet all your requests. As long as you can develop it."

Next are various research results, useful and useless. Anyway, as long as they can be researched, Li Shen will never be stingy with money.

Many things came alive accidentally during the research and development process, so Li Shen hopes they can develop more things.

"Your Majesty." At this time, a big man stood up.

"Prince Qi, we have already manufactured the steam engine you asked us to make."

"Has it been made?" Li Shen said in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The big man nodded.

"Quickly, take me to see it." Li Shen was very excited and couldn't wait to see it.

After more than ten years, there is finally news about how much money Li Shen threw in. ,

The big man did not hesitate and immediately led Li Shen and all the staff to a large factory.

Inside is their laboratory.

Entering the factory, Li Shen saw something covered with a piece of cloth.

After the big man stepped forward and took off the covering cloth, Li Shen stared at the thing intently.

Li Shen estimated that it was more than one meter long and half a meter wide.

"What is this?" Li Shen couldn't help but ask.

This is something Li Shen has never seen before.

It was different from the steam engine in his impression.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

As he spoke, he opened a lid, lit a fire, and put some carbon in.

After a while, air came out of it. The big man worked again, and several columnar things moved up and down on it.

"What is this? Tell me what this is? What's the use of it?" Li Shen collapsed,

What he wants is a steam engine, a steam engine like a train. What is this?

"Your Majesty, did you do something wrong? Your Majesty said you can move it by boiling water."

"Well, I am wrong. Come, I will draw you a rough drawing myself."

As he said this, Li Shen pulled the big man to the side of the factory.

Someone brought a pen and paper, and Li Shen started drawing according to the impression of a coal-burning train.

"You see this wheel, it turns like this when the water is boiled, and these several places are connected.

This is probably what it is. They will continue to study how to do it specifically. "

Li Shen dropped the pen and paper and said to the big man.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are familiar with this and already have experience. If we follow the drawings, it shouldn't take long.

But now we have encountered a problem, which is the air leakage in these gaps. The sealing is not very good.

I wonder if the prince can do anything? "The big man put forward his own opinion.

"Well, this is more troublesome. These places need a soft, thick leather-like mat.

In this way, this material is also one of the research projects, and I will give you a few tips.

You can study it yourself, such as Eucommia ulmoides, Eucommia ulmoides, and many other trees.

There is white viscous juice. "

Li Shen didn't know much about these, so he could only rely on their team to study it himself.

Li Shen believes that in many things he will succeed as long as he has enough time and motivation.

In any case, the steam engine has made a breakthrough, and the next step is to continuously improve it.

As long as you keep up with the theory, you will succeed sooner or later.

Afterwards, Li Shen inspected some creative ideas and led the team back to Prince Ji's Mansion.

When Li Shen returned to Prince Ji's Mansion, he saw Wang Hongfu waiting.

"Hey! Why are you here? What's the matter?" Li Shen teased.

"Your Majesty, I have a small matter." Wang Hongfu replied.

"Go to the study and talk." Li Shen dropped the loot and took Wang Hongfu to the study.

"Tell me what's going on." Li Shen sat down and drank a cup of herbal tea.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Zheng will be here in more than a month. Some of our products are in short supply, such as wine gift boxes and soaps.

The workshop can no longer keep up with sales. The villain wants to ask the prince if we are adding more manpower.

Or expand the size of the workshop.

Not only Yuan Zheng, our workshop has been rushing to produce this year, but there are still pre-orders. "

After Wang Hongfu finished speaking, he waited patiently for Li Shen's answer.

The Wangfu's products are now selling better and better, and half of the soaps and wines are sold to the Western Regions and even Tianzhu and Dashi.

Li Shen thought for a while and said to Wang Hongfu:

"Later, you go to Zhuangzi to find some temporary workers to work in the workshop. This is what we want to do this year. Even if we expand the workshop, we will have to wait until next spring to build the factory building.

I have an idea. I want to set up workshops in other provinces. The wages are not as high as those in Chang'an, and it can also promote local development.

We will discuss this in detail after Yuan Zheng is over. You should do what you did a year ago first. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements now."
