[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

After raising three big dogs, Xia Anran felt that this house was not enough to live in. This house was just right for an individual to live in, but now that the cubs are all grown up, they can no longer be used to their full potential, and they are beginning to disturb the people.

Besides, he personally still feels that this house is Zhao Zhen's real estate, and he always feels a little insecure living in it. In addition, Xia Anran now has some assets on hand, so he began to think about buying a house in Bianjing City.

But it is a pity that when he went out to ask around, he encountered the tragic experience that his cousin also encountered back then.

can not afford.

Housing prices in Bianjing City are sky-high.

Officials with such an unusual price would definitely not be able to afford it. It is estimated that a family with four or five generations of accumulation can buy one.

In the end, Xia Anran finally went back to the house, sadly hugging the big and small dogs who came to welcome him at home, hey, Dad is so poor, it is so irresponsible to keep pets without own property Oops!

Especially the few animals at home are animals that need a lot of exercise. After leaving him for a few days, he found that the little leopard had gained a lot of weight.The fat belly was about to collapse on the ground, and there was actually bubble meat on the hind legs.

Even hoarding fat in autumn and winter is not so exaggerated, is it?

It was because of the thick coat that the pattern on its body came out, but Xia Anran still didn't know him very well. He pinched the leopard's lazy face, rubbed his hand over its beard, and used his knuckles to make it for the little leopard. facial massage.

The leopard, already the size of a big dog, immediately began to purr happily.

Just when he was wondering whether to buy real estate in the outskirts of Bianjing, he encountered a shocking blow.

His cousin gave him his last name.

In the eyes of everyone, Xia Anran is the hostage sent to Beijing by the Pingnan Palace. Although the officials in the court did not know that the Pingnan Palace had caused Li Daitao to become stiff, all witnesses on the previous day were asked to keep their mouths shut. Rumors spread that some bad things happened in Pingnan Palace.

The courtiers who can live in this square inch of land are very clever, and Xia Anran has never had anyone come to visit him since he became king.

Of course, he didn't have any old friends with these people.

The emperor's reaping of King Pingnan's rights was extremely straightforward, and his sharp and smooth methods also made some people in the court feel a chill in their backs. They could only lament that they underestimated the emperor.

As for the many homesteads and properties of the Pingnan Palace that the little emperor bestowed on Xia Anran in the latter two, in the eyes of others, there is nothing worthy of attention.

Although this is a huge sum of money.

But if you look at the power of the Pingnan Palace that the emperor took away, it is not worth mentioning.

In everyone's minds, the new King Pingnan was just a mascot, but they never expected that just before the winter solstice festival came this year, the emperor would actually make such a thunderbolt.

It is a great honor to be given a surname.

Today's leader of the party was given the surname Li by the Tang royal family, and he has been stationed at the northwest gate since then.

But when everyone thought about it, they suddenly understood the emperor's intention.

The little emperor's trick is really wonderful!

Now the king of Pingnan stays in Bianjing because he is here to inherit the throne. A little weak, if he is not allowed to return to the south, it will be unreasonable, at least he cannot explain to the Pingnan royal family in the south.

But if the surname is Zhao Zi...

According to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, Wang Wuzhao of the same surname cannot leave Beijing.

Then there is an explanation for the new Zhao Weineng and Zhao Nanwang's inability to leave Bianjing City.

Still a huge honor.

It is worthy of the blood of Taizu.

In the past, Taizu of the Song Dynasty released his military power with a cup of wine, and now the four emperors of the Song Dynasty bestowed their surnames on the southern land.

Yes, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Zhen is still the third son of the Eighth Prince, so he is naturally the blood of Emperor Taizu.

Since it is the blood of Emperor Taizu, there is no problem at all with this set, and the logic is perfect.

But in fact, Renzong just wanted to give back his surname to his younger brother. Fortunately, this news was kept secret by his subordinates. From the beginning to the end, Renzong didn't know that he had such a purpose in giving his surname in the eyes of his courtiers.

If he knew, he would probably be so angry that he couldn't eat for several nights.

But even so, Renzong's bestowal of the surname to accept the southern land has become a well-known vocabulary in later generations, along with his ancestor's drinking and releasing military power.

And the other person in this little allusion is completely ignorant of the ups and downs of the court. After the emperor bestowed a surname, Xia Anran, who changed his name to Zhao Weineng, was finally able to step into the door of the Eighth Prince's house after the dust settled.

As the same prince, when he came to the door, Zhao Yuanyan naturally opened the front door and waited with his family.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is the courtesy of the Eighth Prince, which is not bad at all, but in fact, this is just Zhao Bawang's family welcoming the child who has finally returned home with proper courtesy.

Xia Anran put on the prince's regular uniform made by the Royal Manufacturing Institute before. He was young and handsome, and his face, which was [-]% similar to Renzong's, was [-]% after his deliberate modification, which could only make people feel a little similar.

The one who came with him was Bai Jinxi, but Bai Jinxi hadn't started yet.

He just walked him to the gate and got out of the carriage.

Xia Anran came to the door alone.

He squeezed Bai Jinxi's hand and said with a smile, "One day, the third concubine should come to meet you."

In response, he took a long time to rearrange his expression before the carriage stopped, so as not to show any signs.

But even so, after getting off the car, Xia Anran's face was still blushing, and her eyes were moist and soft, but fortunately, the previous tension was completely gone.

His appearance was extremely normal in the eyes of everyone in the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

If the concubine hadn't pinched her fingers several times to remind herself, she would have lost her manners long ago.

After the two princes greeted each other, the gate of the Eighth Prince's Mansion was closed, blocking the prying eyes of outsiders.

After entering the room, Xia Anran knelt down with a plop, and before he could say anything, he was hugged by someone, "Sanlang, mother's Saburo."

For a moment, Xia Anran was moved by the atmosphere, and his eyes turned red, "Mom..." he murmured, "I'm sorry."

This sentence of sorry was given not only to the mother in front of him, but also to his other mother hundreds of years later.

"It's the child's waywardness, which makes the mother suffer."

His "mother and mother" brought Princess Di to tears. She knew that Nan Bian called her mother at that time, so she naturally only thought Xia Anran's words were a slip of the tongue, but she was even more delighted by the expression of her true feelings.

Although she was connected with her third son, mother and son, after more than 20 years, the two parties only met once. According to her prince, Xia Anran is a clever and cunning son.

Although she believed that the child was pure and kind by nature, she couldn't avoid some concerns.

It's just that the word mother now broke her heart.

Thinking about the various incidents after Sanlang went to the south, and the fact that her husband entrusted him with inhumanity, if Sanlang was not pure and kind by nature and did not dare to do such disobedient things, I am afraid that when their mother and son meet, they will be separated forever It's time.

Thinking of this, Concubine Di couldn't sleep well in the past few days, and she always had nightmares every day. When she fell asleep, she dreamed of Saburo who called her mother to her on the execution ground.

Thinking that the executioner was Kaifeng Mansion's Dragon Slaying Saber, if Saburo were to be punished by that guillotine, she would really give up her face and the kindness of raising His Majesty for several years, and ask the emperor to replace him with her life.

After all, they were the ones who couldn't stand San'er.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Until now holding Sanlang in her arms, the last stone in Di Niangniang's heart fell down.

After the mother and son hugged and cried for a while, they were both pulled up.

The one holding Xia Anran back was a handsome man, nearly thirty years old, heck, the prince's third son is actually old, so Xia Anran is more than ten years older than his second brother, and the elder brother is almost older than him 20 years old.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zhen desperately wants a younger brother.

Because he is the younger brother who was raised as a son.

Very bad experience as a brother.

"Third brother, let's wipe your face first."

Only the family of the Eighth Prince's Mansion and a steward who knew the inside story were left in the room, and even the wives of the two elder brothers were not brought. It is already the best result for Xia Anran to stay in Bianjing safely and soundly.Although in order to maintain the reputation of the royal family, and to wipe the late emperor's ass clean, Xia Anran was not allowed to enter the Zhao family tree from now on, which directly caused the Zhao family's family tree to be in chaos from then on.

But no matter what, Xia Anran enjoys the prince's salary after all, and has no intention of letting the emperor owe him a favor.

After several rounds of operations here, the Eighth Prince took the step of retreating and set Xia Anran's identity on top of King Pingnan who showed Zhao Zhen's benevolence.

An eight kings and three sons are optional, but a Pingnan king guarantees Xia Anran's future safety, which is also a painstaking effort of this father.

At present, the emperor's trust in Xia Anran is based on his guilt, but the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Although Xia Anran has a favor, the favor is always the most unreliable.

Princess Di also knew this.

When she was with the eight kings, the emperor could remember this affection, but after a hundred years, if Sanlang still looks like Zhao Zhen imagined, as the emperor became more suspicious, it would not be a good thing.

And after Xia Anran washed her face with a hot handkerchief, everyone in the hall couldn't help being startled.

Without him, it does.

When he came here, Xia Anran smeared some powder on his face. Before that, he trimmed his sideburns, and then he shaved his eyebrows. His hands and feet were so thick that he drew a thick eyebrow. However, Bai Jinxi blocked his masterpiece before he could go out. After coming down, Second Young Master Bai, who was resting today, pressed Xia Anran to wash his face and painted his eyebrows again.

When he put down his paintbrush, Xia Anran in the bronze mirror was a little more heroic than the stable emperor. Although the changes in every article and military weapon were not obvious, they were enough for those who were not familiar with him to recognize him at a glance.

But these Da Song cosmetics are not waterproof, so after crying and washing his face, Bai Ershao's hard work was all in vain.

Regarding this, Xia Anran didn't care, as long as he covered it up when he went out.

But seeing his face, Princess Di's tears fell again.

If her son grows up by her side well, even if she looks the same as the prince, it will only be a joke, so why should Sanlang paint her face!

And I didn't realize it before, but looking at it now, why is her Saburo half a head shorter than the emperor?Dalang and Erlang are all tall, how could Sanlang be short, obviously he was born at about the same time, and Pian Sanlang is shorter, this does not mean that the Pingnan Palace embezzled her Sanlang.

Di Niangniang was about to cry again after thinking about it, but fortunately she held back and introduced Xia Anran's two sons.

The elder brother Xia Anran and the second elder brother are both outstanding figures in court, but the elder brother is weak in body and bones. That day, the eighth princess walked up to the Daxiangguo Temple, firstly to pray for the third son who was far away, and secondly also for the eldest son.

Xia Anran prepared some gifts, among them were some precious medicinal materials from Pingnan Palace, especially those that were not easy to buy in the north.

There are also some medical books sent together.

There are great differences in all aspects between the north and the south, so it is natural for medical skills.

Although the medical craftsmen in Bianjing City should be the best in the world, it must be mentioned the limitations of medicinal materials.

Although some medicinal materials like humid and cold environments, there are also some that like warm and humid places in the south, and even miasma-filled places.

For example, ginseng and American ginseng are not the three largest ginseng in the world.

In addition, there are herbal medicines such as Polygonatum, Cordyceps, Gastrodia elata.

Many of the medicinal herbs sent by Xia Anran were names that the master of the mansion had never heard of. When he heard that they were sent by someone sent by His Majesty to tidy up the warehouse of the Pingnan Palace, the Eighth Prince frowned. I don't know how to scold this stinky boy for giving me everything, and there are people who come to deliver medicines everywhere. On the one hand, I feel grateful for Xiao Lang's sincerity for his elder brother.

After struggling like this for a long time, in the end they still didn't say anything and took these gifts away.

The elder brother looked very unhappy, and smiled when he saw this gift, and said, "I'm ashamed, I thought the gift prepared for my brother should be in line with the third brother's heart, but now it seems that it is inferior to the gift of the third brother."

The gifts prepared by the crown prince are several shops, one of which is close to Xia Anran's accommodation, right in the center of Bianjing City, where every day makes money.

There is also an empty shop in the middle, which directly lets Xia Anran open whatever he wants to open. Xia Anran almost instantly thought of the pet products business in Bianjing City that he had planned for a long time, and his eyes lit up.

The delivery by the second brother is much simpler than that given by the eldest brother.

He sent directly to a restaurant.

Xia Anran has eaten at this restaurant a few times, the taste is really good, and the decoration is very elegant, and the service attitude inside is also very good, I didn't expect that this restaurant is actually owned by the second brother.

Holding these meeting gifts, Xia Anran was a little stunned.

He suddenly felt that the gift he had prepared before was still a lot thinner.

How swollen and broken, was, was shown by a local tyrant.

As if afraid that this was not enough for him, the eighth princess also took out a land deed and gave it to Xia Anran, which was a village in the suburbs.

After giving Xia Anran the title deed, the concubine sighed lightly, and said to Xia Anran who wanted to refuse, "Take it, this is your mother's dowry."

"Boss, mother also gave them a share when the second child got married. You deserve it."

Entering this topic suddenly made the room quiet for a while.

Yes, the reason why the princess gave this gift in advance is because Xia Anran's marriage is very problematic.

Although he has a prince, but the current situation is good to say that he is temporarily staying in the capital, and to put it bluntly, he has been detained. Not to mention, although the Zhao family does not have the habits of the Yi people, it may not involve his wife's natal family , but the girl who married the past will definitely not be able to escape.

Not only the daughter, but also the young man.

The other clan's heirs should go out to Beijing for business for a day, but this Zhao Weineng's child will definitely never have one.

Not only no, I'm afraid they still have to live under surveillance and vigilance every day.

Today's stewards are benevolent, but there is no guarantee that every king in the future will be like this.

What's more, didn't this so-called benevolent official also do the thing of "giving a surname"?

Therefore, the matter of marrying Xia Anran was directly turned into a refusal by the major circles in Bianjing City, basically no one would be willing to do so except those who want to become a royal family without thinking.

Xia Anran didn't know anything.

What he didn't even know was that there was a behind-the-scenes pusher behind the rumor, who was hiding under his blanket.

Although he didn't know it, everyone in the Eight Princes' Mansion knew it.

The eighth concubine was heartbroken and extremely helpless, they knew that the emperor had no such thoughts about Xia Anran, but the key to this matter was that even if they knew it, they couldn't say it.

There are too many involved.

The arrival of Xia Anran's prince is really embarrassing, and it's hard for many families in Beijing to avoid him.

A family that may be prosperous in the future is scrambling to get married, a family that can be promoted or degraded, people think about it, but when one looks at it, it is a family that has fallen into the quagmire, of course no one is married.

This is the reason why the eighth princess sent Zhuangzi out first.

Let the son go to relax more, after all, this Zhuangzi is not out of Bianjing City, so go for a walk more, if you meet a good girl from a commoner family, you will always be a companion when you get married.

Xia Anran couldn't appreciate this kind of painstaking effort at all, he only regarded it as his own mother because he knew that his house was too small to raise the cubs, so he specially gave him a place where the cubs could run freely.

Seeing that there are several farmlands next to Zhuangzi, both upper, middle and lower fields, Xia Anran was even more excited.

Arita is good. Although he has planted Champa rice for one season, he cannot draw a credible conclusion because of too little data. Only if there are more samples can he draw a reliable conclusion. The dynasty can also have a direction to buy rice!

As expected of a mother!

Just considerate!

Xia Anran's eyes were shining, and Niangniang Di felt even more sad when she met this kind of gaze, this child, this child is so good, hey!

It just happened to be teased by God!

If he hadn't left, with his looks, character, and ability to handle affairs, he wouldn't be able to find a daughter-in-law!

Xia, obviously has a daughter-in-law but can't tell, An Ran naturally doesn't know how her mother's crying and laughing expression came from, he can only comfort her gently, and tell her that he will come to see her often in the future.

But his words were stopped directly by the Eighth Prince.

It is often impossible, absolutely impossible.

Since Xia Anran was granted the title of Pingnan King, he and the Eighth Prince cannot get too close.

Back then, the Eighth Prince and Pingnan King were able to maintain the friendship between gentlemen mainly because Pingnan King could only enter Beijing once every few years, and his fiefdom was far away, so it was convenient for him to hide Saburo, so the Eighth Prince took the risk.

It's a pity that she never expected that San'er would look so much like His Majesty.

It almost caused a catastrophe.

Xia Anran didn't stay here for a long time. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just the new King Pingnan from the south. He could use the friendship between the Eighth Prince and the old King Pingnan as an excuse to visit the Eighth Prince's Mansion. can't.

When he came, he brought two carriages of presents, and when he returned, he replaced them with a carriage. Although it seemed that there were fewer things, Xia Anran actually had all the heavy items in his hands.

On the way back, Bai Jinxi silently looked at Xia Jingxi who clicked these deeds one by one like a lot of birds ordering toys in the car.

I just feel itchy in my fingers.

He endured it, but he couldn't hold it back. He reached out and pulled the person over and took several mouthfuls.

===

Today's emperors are not as relaxed as Xia Anran, and even the show that Xia Anran was looking forward to, he will forget it in a blink of an eye.

All his energy is now on the party.

In Zhao Zhen's view, what Yu Luocha said was definitely not groundless.

If there is no problem with the party item, why would Yu Luocha say that.

However, the emperor's mind will not show his concern on the bright side. He just chose to send the first batch of large-scale weapons made by hydraulic mechanisms to the western defense line.

King Taiping in the north said: These weapons were not smelted by ordinary means, and whether they are durable or not is not known for the time being. Because the environment in the west is more stable than that in the north, they are temporarily provided to the west for testing.

He himself is indeed more concerned about this matter, and he also mentioned to the generals stationed in the west that they must pay attention to this batch of weapons, which made Cao Wei, who received this year's supplies, look puzzled, thinking that it was something from the emperor's side. What's the problem, they took the Western Army and sent them the problematic weapons.

This made the general who had lived his life in the army suddenly so angry that he didn't even care about his serious illness. He threw off the quilt, put on a cloak, and strode out, talking and ordering his subordinates to open the box and inspect the goods.

The soldier who came to deliver the letter soon realized that the general had misunderstood something, but before he could catch up, he was immediately stopped by the soldiers of the Cao family. The soldiers pointed to the energetic old general, meaning that for the time being don't talk.

Cao Wei, General Cao, was born in the general family and was highly regarded by the late emperor. Even Li Yuanhao only dared to raise troops when the transfer of military power in the west was chaotic after his death. There will no longer be the situation where the Three Kingdoms stand together.

It's a pity that when Renzong had no real power at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he was framed by Ding Wei, and he was relegated to Qingzhou all the way. Fortunately, since last year, because Renzong gradually gained real power, he deposed Ding Wei and made him return to the Northwest Front.

However, it is quite far from Qingzhou to Yan'an Mansion where the Yongxing Army where the Northwest Front is located. After his subordinates, the general fell ill.

The northwest is bitterly cold, and all conditions are not as good as those in the east. The old general's illness has been intermittent, and he hasn't recovered for almost half a year.

The doctor also said that most of them are still suffering from heart problems.

The old general was relegated repeatedly before, but he was still sad after all.

Today's qi, on the contrary, followed his whole body's qi, which may not be a good thing.

What's more, how about the weapons, the soldiers have already inspected them!

Sure enough, when the soldiers arrived at the warehouse, they heard the voice of the old general laughing, and when the soldier who sent the order came in, he slapped him with a palm fan.

The old general complained, "You brat, why didn't you speak clearly! It turned out that the officials used a new forging method. I don't know if it is durable. I thought..."

He didn't say anything later, because the people from the Ministry of War hadn't left yet, so he coughed and roared in embarrassment, and bowed to the sergeant who was escorting the weapons, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhongshilang, I've already ordered people to prepare a banquet, Zhongshilang Please reward me later."

"General Cao, you are welcome." The servant was very respectful, and he pointed to the copywriting on the table, "General, let me count the weapons first, and do the handover first."

"it is good!"

The old general hurriedly waved his hands, signaling his soldiers to move quickly, and he leaned over to the servant to inquire about the situation in a low voice.

He was relegated before, but he never entered Beijing again, and he is unclear about the situation and circumstances in Beijing and China.

Now that the northwest is temporarily safe, it's not the time to replenish the armaments. Why did the superiors suddenly allocate such a sum of military funds?

Could it be that there must be some action on the top?

For generals, if they are not afraid of everyone, they are afraid of not fighting!

It's a pity that the waiter didn't know about these things, he thought about the attitude of his superiors, and felt that he still had to get to the bottom of it, so he took out his saber and handed it to the old general, "General, let's see how this saber looks."

The old general narrowed his eyes, he took the knife, then flicked the blade with his nails, listened carefully for a moment for the echo, then pressed the blade with his fingertips to test its toughness.

After letting go, the expression on his face became even more puzzled.

A good knife is a good knife, but it is only of ordinary quality, not to the extent worthy of the servant's praise.

The servant of the Ministry of War took the old general's returned knife and put it into the scabbard. Seeing the old general's expression, he knew what he was thinking, so he leaned over and whispered, "General, why not guess, how long did it take you to forge this knife?"

oh?This topic gave the old general a flash of inspiration. Could it be that the people from the Ministry of War in the capital finally got down to business and invented a new method of smelting?

He thought carefully about the process of forging a good knife, stretched out three fingers, thought for a while, and retracted another one.

Two months, how about it, enough less!

Then he saw the servant's loud and unpredictable expression, a month?impossible!

The servant approached him and said in a breathy voice, "It's ten days."

General Cao gasped, with disbelief on his face.

ten days?

Although military-made weapons are not made by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War does have supervisory responsibilities, so they must master the data of standard rooms, and in order to avoid accidents, the speed at which standard room reports are usually uploaded is a bit slow.

Everyone knows this.

In other words, it doesn't actually take ten days at all.

However, the servant later told him that these ten days were actually time for smelting and equipment, not the time for collecting raw materials and making scabbards, but even so, General Cao was pleasantly surprised.

If a sword can be made in ten days, then wouldn't his armor penetration rate be... Hehehehe~

The waiter glanced at the dreamy smile on the old general's face, coughed lightly, nodded the wooden box he brought, and then signaled the old general to stop thinking about it and deliver it quickly, as his duty is to watch the handover of weapons with his own eyes. It's the end.

Moreover, his trip was not only to bring the newly manufactured weapons, but also to take away the damaged and irreparable weapons and equipment in the barracks.

The popularization rate of ironware in the army of the Song Dynasty was extremely high. If ordinary ironware was broken, it could be repaired by the blacksmith accompanying the army, and ordinary small parts could still be knocked out, but if the sword was broken, such problems could not be solved by blacksmiths.

This part of the materials will be brought back by the military personnel who sent the supplies to remanufacture. The swords can be cut and made into armor, and the armor can be made into arrows. If the quality is really poor or rusty, it can also be made into iron nails or iron locks. .

In short, millions of troops cannot afford to be wasted at all.

After General Cao put his seal on the receipt, he replaced the servant to put his seal on the equipment exchange of the Northwest Army. The loss and damage of the army must be recorded. One is to prevent corruption, and the other is to fear that the border The army stole weapons and resold them.

In fact, the outflow of iron and copper in the Song Dynasty was huge.

It was so big that there was no copper available in the Southern Song Dynasty.

There was no copper to make coins, so paper money could only be printed and distributed, which also caused the collapse of the market economy.

But right now, that hasn't happened yet.

During this period of time, not only General Cao was happy, but also the little emperor.

After the research and modification of the hydraulic press by the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, connectors, interrupters and other equipment were quickly added. Through these modifications, the force amplification effect of the hydraulic press was transformed into a kinetic energy input device.

At the beginning, Xia Anran only thought that the hydraulic press could be used to press objects, but did not think of its magnifying effect.

But all these were used by the craftsmen. With a hydraulic press as the head, the craftsmen updated and upgraded it through skillful hands, and it became a complete set of combined machinery.

And I don't know which craftsman got inspiration from the ladies' spinning wheels, and created a set of gravity transmission devices through the transmission belt.

The principle of the spinning wheel is that the big wheel drives the small wheel, which increases the distance of the force. The method used today is similar, and the force is transmitted to the small wheel through the method of the large wheel with the small wheel, because the distance of the small wheel Short, raised its revs.

At the same time, the frequency of falling heavy objects is increased.

The specific principle is similar to a sewing machine.

The function of the hydraulic machine is similar to that of a foot pedal. The people in the workshop only need to apply a certain amount of gravity on the hydraulic machine. Through the effect of expanding the pressure, the big wheel is driven. Finally, the big wheel buckles the small wheel, and the trigger device is linked to make the attack and defense The hammer inside can be dropped with high frequency and high pressure.

Since then, in the forging process of Baisteel, both the knocking action and the cutting action can be performed with the help of machinery.

Since then, the burden on craftsmen can be greatly reduced and production efficiency can be improved.

The original problem with this set of machinery was that the large wheels needed to drive the small wheels required too much weight. After all, the hammers were suspended under the wheels, and the weight itself was not small.

In addition, there is also the weight of the wheel itself, so although some craftsmen invented it, there is really no way to use it. Roughly speaking, it may take about a ton of force to create such an effect, which is about the same as the legs of an elephant. Or a strong bison to stomp over and over again, doable but impractical.

But it turns out that trash was just at the wrong time, and now it's treasure.

This set of equipment was presented as a small model, because it needs to use iron as a reinforcement component for key parts, and the cost is not small, but Renzong still gritted his teeth and approved it.

Fortunately, the final result is very worthy of the pressure he bears.

At the same time, the existence of this equipment has become a top secret in Song Dynasty at this stage, and the workshop craftsmen have been controlled since then, but the people working inside don't care at all!

This kind of sense of accomplishment of one knife in a few days is simply fascinating. The stimulating feeling of refreshing the peak speed makes the adrenaline of the craftsmen soar. Under this feeling, everyone in the workshop actively asks to work overtime and then ping-pong-pong for half a month. Half a year's workload.

Of course... when they wake up, they will find that refreshing the workload is a good thing, and there are rewards. After all, Renzong is a generous emperor.

But Shangfeng also immediately realized the power of the new equipment, and then silently brought the rest of the long queue, expressing passion: Dear friends, we will continue to work hard next month!

All the craftsmen waved their biceps and said without hesitation: Come on, we are not afraid of new equipment, as long as you still have iron.

Yes, steelmaking is certainly not created out of thin air, and the demand for iron ore cannot be hidden.

Although the workshop's secrets were well protected, the delivery rate of iron materials was much more frequent than in the past, which still attracted the attention of interested people.

Rumors spread that Huangcheng Secretary has been busy with work recently. After Xia Anran arrived in Beijing, he had no time to talk to Bai Jinxi. Seeing this person's haggardness and exhaustion, he still couldn't help but squeeze the person who wanted to chat with him. Back to bed.

But Bai Jinxi did not get the best treatment from his lover, but only got a perfunctory kiss for the child. This was all because Xia Anran was just about to spend some time with him, when she was alarmed by the big commotion outside and went out to mediate with the three dogs in the family. The contradiction between cat and bird.

The three dogs and one cat who haven't seen each other for a long time are still close, but Xia Duoduo has obviously encountered isolation. The grown-up Duoduoying looks too small in front of three adult dogs and a sub-adult leopard.

This group of small animals is like the original children brought in after the reorganization of the family, and they keep making troubles, but at night they will hug each other to keep warm.As soon as the sun rises, they break up immediately.

When Xia Anran watches them, she always thinks of a TV series - "Family with Children"

Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about.

When Xia Anran walked over, he found two little Wangs barking at him non-stop, while barking, they looked at the little leopard with their wet eyes.

Xia Anran didn't understand, so after a while, she finally realized that the meaning of these two barks is: why we wear a collar, but it doesn't!

And the little leopard without a collar held its head high at this moment, but immediately shrank its neck after meeting Xia Anran's scrutinizing eyes, and climbed up the only tree in the yard with a sound, where it crossed its paws , with its tail hanging down, its posture looks relaxed but in fact it is very vigilant.

Xia Duoduo, who was on the side, was gleeful. He flapped his wings and flew to Xia Anran, and suddenly said, "I want to take a bath! Take a bath!"

Xia Anran was first startled by Duoduo Ying who suddenly could speak after this farewell, and then the meaning in Duoduo's words immediately reminded him, yes, these three dogs really should be cleaned up!Otherwise, it is easy to catch cold after washing in winter.

He patted the hygienic bird on the head as a reward, and then slowly rolled up his sleeves under the proud eyes of Duoduo.

The next day was the day that Zhao Zhen decided to show off his skills, and it was also the day when Xia Anran made his debut in the top circle of Bianjing City.

The author has something to say: Actually, the Eighth Prince dotes on Xia Miao very much.

Rub your hands together.

I don't know how to explain clearly.

In fact, for Xia Anran, it is more convenient to be King Pingnan than to be the son of the third son.Therefore, the method that the Eighth Prince came up with after several times of planning can be said to be a great sacrifice, which also caused him to look at Xia Anran very harshly, because he did it and he has to be responsible.

But for the officials, it was probably: Wow, the emperor's scheming is so deep.

cough cough cough.

The emperor who took the blame didn't know anything yet and no one told him.

Makeup can change a person's temperament, especially eyebrows.

For some face-blind people, unless they are very handsome and aura, and have a very special temperament, if they are not very familiar with them, changing their costumes will make the author puzzled for a long time.

Housing prices in Bianjing City are very, very expensive. If it weren't for the accumulation of generations of people, they would not be able to afford it at all.

Because the place is small... and the royal family all live in it.

Panax notoginseng is an important part of the hemostatic medicine that Xia Miao regretted when preparing hemostatic medicine in the world of the Three Kingdoms. It is better to eat in reduced doses if you take supplements.

Panax notoginseng is a miraculous drug with blood-activating and hemostatic effects, but the growth environment is very demanding. At present, it seems that only Yunnan has the species. Therefore, the history of Sanqi being included in the Chinese herbal medicine package is quite short.It's almost tomorrow.

Anyway, the Song Dynasty did not have it.

But Panax notoginseng is good for cardiovascular... rub your hands...

...Some people say that thanks to the spelling, the main text is more than words...

Hey, the spelling software used by the author has been under maintenance for the past two days, and I feel that the efficiency has dropped a lot.

I'm talking to you, the author added a JJ author group, the kind that can only be entered by posting in the background, and then the atmosphere became a bit serious before Thursday.

Probably: Did you flip the list?How many words is this time?Ahhh I have an exam this week, why did I have to apply for the list last week.

Then the author has never been afraid of the number of words on the list...

Because the general word count of the list seems to be the highest one is 4W in two weeks, and generally 2W in a week, hehehehe, I’m not bragging, I can complete the list task in only four days a week, and it’s super!

The hydraulic press is not the end, but the beginning.

The principle of machinery in this article... Just understand it as a sewing machine. The falling pillow is a hammer, and the hammer is used to strike the iron. The workers only need to feed it in, fold it, take it out, and so on.

There must be shortcomings, and industrial assembly line production must not be as good as fine workmanship.

But in terms of weapons, popularization and coverage are the most important.

Let me tell you a cold knowledge... although you may not need it

The melting point of iron is more than 500 degrees. I have said several times before that this temperature could not be reached in ancient times!So why do we often see that there are words like: combine these words before typing them.

Because in ancient times, they were melted into the state of glue, not in modern times. When we see the molten iron in the steelmaking plant clattering, they probably made a clatter - clatter - this kind of thing, and in this way, the molten iron just left the fire. It condenses, so it can only be melted to that extent, almost a lump, take it out and knock it quickly.

Therefore, in the early iron industry, there was almost no word forging swords.Because there is no way for the paste iron liquid to be poured into the model as uniformly as the copper liquid, but it can also be successful by adding other ingredients, such as iron coins are made in this way.Small things are fine, iron nails and the like can still be dripped, but big heads are not.

Of course, there is also an important factor, which is to control the carbon content in the paste-like iron paste to be neither high nor low, which happens to be steel, which is too difficult.
