Take the mall to Datang

It turned out that what Yan Lide cared about was the production capacity of this equipment. It didn't matter if it was not accurate enough. The fact that it could quickly saw the wood into planks was enough for the Ministry of Industry to invest.

"A set of [-] guns, equipped with small steam power, is enough to cut ordinary trees." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, the Ministry of Industry is like your Yuan family custom-made two sets, but the settlement needs to be paid when the equipment is handed over." Yan Lide said.

"No problem, let's sign the contract first." Yuan Shan said.

"No problem." Yan Lide said.

After sending Yan Lide away, Yuan Shan put his mind on these table saws again. In fact, making these table saws is not complicated, especially since the steam engine is in a county town, and it can run normally only after connecting external equipment.

Five thousand guan is actually equivalent to buying a few saw blades. Of course, these saw blades do not need to be made by Yuan Jingai's blacksmith. He will buy a few directly from the mall. These things are very cheap.

However, the woodworking equipment proposed by Yan Lide today made him realize that it is not enough to just invest in equipment for the iron project. Steam power should be able to drive more equipment, thus promoting the development of more industries.

Chapter 530

Half a month later, Yuan Shan took the people from Yuanjia Workshop to the Ministry of Industry.

The production department of the Ministry of Industry has a large yard. After Yuan Shan came here, all the people here were busy with sawing and packing wood.

Yuan Shan didn't wear official uniforms today. In fact, he seldom wore official uniforms when he was in the Ministry of Economics and Development. Maybe he didn't wear them very much except when going to court.

Soon Yan Lide rushed over.

"Yan Shangshu, a table saw is here for you today, please ask someone to receive it, and the people from our Yuanjia workshop will help you to debug it." Yuan Shan said.

Yan Lide looked at the large cotton cloth covering the carriage of the Yuan family and knew that it was his custom-made table saw. He was very happy to ask someone to help move the equipment out of the cart immediately.

"Yan Shangshu, this saw is mainly composed of a steam engine and external equipment. As long as the steam power makes the coal burn to drive the saw blade, it can cut freely. But remember that this saw blade cannot cut metal, it can only be used Wood." Yuan Shan said.

"If the saw blade is not fast, you can use this whetstone to sharpen it. In addition, each table saw has a spare saw blade." Yuan Shan introduced.

Yan Lide kept nodding with a smile. From his appearance, he could tell that he couldn't wait to know the production capacity of this table saw.

It doesn't take long to assemble these things. Fill the coal to make the steam boiler burn, and the steam drives the cylinder. It depends on the saw blades connected by the various speed change gears driven by the flywheel.

The rotating saw blade made people feel a little numb when engraved, but it was full of saw teeth. Soon, several woodworkers began to bring the wood over for experiments, and then saw that the wood was cut by the saw blade, and the speed was faster than the saw blade. They save a lot of time by manually sawing.

"I didn't expect this table saw to be so convenient to work. It's just that the saw blade seems to be a little too small, so it can't be used against a big tree hugged by two people." Yan Lide said.

"Yan Shangshu, there are specialists in art, and these tools are the same. As long as you are willing to pay for custom-made or many thick trees, there will be no problem." Yuan Shan said confidently.

After the two table saws had been tested, Yuan Shan offered to take the money.

In the past half a month, he has spent a long time developing this table saw. In fact, apart from the two Yuanjia workshops, they have already begun to produce such equipment. If the Ministry of Industry needs it, the Carpenters Union will naturally have it. At that time, I am afraid that it may be too late to do it now.

A few days later, after the meeting ended.

"Uncle Yan, what's the matter with you today, you look very happy, what's wrong with the happy event." The household servant Gao Xingxing came over and asked.

"Wen Min, of course it's a good thing. If you have time, you might as well go to the Ministry of Industry with me to see how it goes." Yan Lide said.

"Okay, let's go over and see what made Uncle Yan so happy." Gao Xingxing said.

This Gao Shilian is Gao Shilian's eldest son, and he is currently working in the household department. As Gao Shilian's eldest son, he is very good at interpersonal relationships. After noticing Yan Lide's dynamics, he came here and wanted to communicate with him more. It is also the way of being an official.

Before entering the production area of ​​the Ministry of Industry, I heard bursts of noise coming from inside, and black smoke was still rising from the yard.

Gao Xing hurriedly said: "Uncle Yan, nothing happened here, I'm going to call for help."

Gao Xun is really nervous, the Ministry of Industry has a lot of materials, and it is not a joke to talk about a fire.

"Haha, it's okay, it's the smoke from the table saw's steam stove, it doesn't matter, just follow me in and have a look." Yan Lide said.

Pushing open the door and entering the courtyard, Gao Xing saw that the moving wood on the two iron bumps had been cut in half. This was the first time he had seen such a thing, so he immediately asked, "Uncle Yan, what is this."

"Didn't you just say that it's a table saw, which is specially used for cutting wood. Having this thing can save a lot of manpower." Yan Lide said.

High performance is not a wine bag and rice bag. Although the table saw is a bit noisy when it is working, but watching the wood being cut quickly, I feel that this thing has some tricks.

"This thing is really powerful. At this speed, the Ministry of Industry can save a lot of manpower in wood cutting. No wonder Uncle Yan is so happy that he got such a treasure." Gao Xingxing said.

"Uncle Yan, I don't know where you bought this table saw." Gao Xingxing asked.

"This thing is from Yuanjia Workshop, it's custom-made." Yan Lide said very proudly.

Gao Xun said: "So that's how it is. I won't pay Uncle Yan when it's getting late. Let's leave."

Soon Gao Xing returned to the Gao Mansion.

"Father, the child found a good thing." Gao Xing said.

Gao Shilian drank tea in the study and said, "What makes you so flustered."

"Father, the Ministry of Industry..." Gao Xingxing told about the table saw.

"Oh? There is such a thing. If we get this thing, the carpentry work contracted by our family can increase the production." Gao Shilian said.

"Didn't father have a good relationship with the Yuan family? Maybe we can buy more table saws, and then our Gao family's property will earn more." Gao Xun said.

The reason why Gao Xing came out of the Ministry of Industry in such a hurry was because of this. The family of an official would basically engage in some business in secret, and what Gao Shilian was engaged in was to provide wood processing for the Timber Alliance.

"Don't say anything about this matter, I will go to Yuan Shan to inquire about it another day." Gao Shilian said.

However, there was no secret about the Ministry of Industry's purchase of two steam table saws from Yuan's family. Many people soon found out, and this incident even alarmed Li Shimin.

So Yan Lide did not expect that His Majesty would ask the Ministry of Industry to purchase more such equipment for use, so he ordered five more, but only four appeared in the Ministry of Industry, and the other was sent to the Military Weapons Supervision. But do not know.

After today, Xin Liangchou came over and asked Yuan Shan to go to the Military Weapons Supervision to inspect the work, but he saw the dismantled table saw, and Yuan Shan also expressed his helplessness.

For these simple crafts, Yuan Shan has no way to keep them secret. As long as the military inspector is willing to invest money, they can completely imitate them, and the difference is a matter of production costs.

"Yuan Pushe, Your Majesty wants to buy a batch of gears like the Yuan family." Xin Liangchou said.

"No problem, it's just that the Yuan family's labor cost is very high, why not go to the Zheng family's bicycle workshop and ask, maybe you will change your mind." Yuan Shan said.

"Zheng's Bicycle Factory?" Xin Liangchou muttered.

"That's right, didn't the original bicycle production line of the Yuan family be sold to the Zheng family long ago, so besides the Yuan family being able to produce gears, the Zheng family can also do it." Yuan Shan said.

It's just that he didn't say the production specifications of the gears behind, but the gears produced by the bicycle factory can still meet their needs, so that these parts will not take up the man-hours of Yuanjia Workshop's production. In addition, he also hopes that if the Zheng family If he can make a breakthrough in this area, it will be easier for his Yuan family to order these accessories.

Chapter 531 Shen Guogong Visits

The military supervisor actually found the Zheng family in order to imitate the table saw. Yuan Shan didn't know exactly how they talked.

Within a few days, Zhang Xingzhi came to Lantian Houfu.
