"My lord, is that thing just now only available to the imperial court?"

Du Rufang hesitated for a moment, and asked a question.

There are many industries in his family. If some of this thing can be obtained, it can help the family increase a lot of value.

When the other ministers heard the words, they all looked over one by one.

Many of them have family shadows behind them. Hearing this now, they are naturally concerned.

"Of course not. When there are more of these things, they will naturally be sold. Let those workshops increase their production, which means improving the economy and allowing the court to receive more taxes."

Lu Chensheng immediately responded when he heard the words.

There are only a few industries in the imperial court. To make the economy of the Xinghan Empire, it depends on all the merchants and those families.

In this kind of matter, Lu Chensheng will naturally not be stingy, nor will he be stingy.

Hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately beamed with joy. If this thing can be sold, the family members must keep an eye on it. Buy it earlier and take it back for use!

Chapter 788 Barbarians inside and outside, anyone who dares to be a soldier

After the matter was dealt with, Lu Chensheng returned to the harem, and then began to pick up a blank piece of paper and start drawing.

The things in this painting look a little strange, and others can't understand them at all.

At this time, the fifth day came over with snacks, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the things drawn by the young master.

"What is the young master painting?"

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he put the dim sum aside and asked a question.

"It is a kind of thing that can quickly prepare food."

Lu Chensheng replied.

Now that there is a steam engine, and the production of bearings can be started, then the production of the rice threshing machine can also be started.

The way the common people beat rice now is still pounding rice, which is very simple, but it is definitely a laborious task.

After the rice comes out, the husk is rice bran.

Lu Chensheng wants to make this rice threshing machine, so that the common people can spend the rest of their time doing other things, and the rice threshing is much easier.

When Chu Wu heard this, he immediately looked over curiously.

She still knows about pounding rice, and knows that it is made little by little. Now that the young master wants to get something, he can pound rice quickly, and wonders what such a thing is.

Just looking carefully, she still couldn't understand how to use this thing. The blueprint made her feel a little dizzy.

"I can't understand it on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

Chu Wu said with a bitter face.

Lu Chensheng laughed loudly when he heard the words, "If you go to the school to learn more knowledge, then you can understand it. I haven't learned much yet, but I want to understand the above things. How is it possible?"

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I thought about it, "Young master, since you can make rice, can you make flour or something?"

When the common people get flour, they basically use stone mills to grind it out bit by bit.

"Of course it can, but this thing needs to be redesigned."

Lu Chensheng drew for a long time, and when he saw that the drawing was finished, he stopped, "Come here, send this drawing to the research institute."

"Yes!"

Immediately a guard walked in from outside the door, took the blueprints and left in a hurry.

Once the steam engine is ready, there are too many places where it can be used.

If the technology improves a bit, it can be used to cultivate land by then, and it can be used to open roads and so on.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng asked someone to fetch the map.

Is the current map a re-updated and more accurate one? The territory of the Xinghan Empire is clearly drawn on it.

"The territory of the Xinghan Empire is much larger now, but the roads are still extremely difficult? And there are too few roads? The next step is to start building roads."

Lu Chensheng took a few glances, frowned and said something.

Between these roads, there are a lot of twists and turns? Not some straight roads? That's not good.

In this way? Sometimes when going to a distant place, you still need to go through some winding roads, which is a long detour.

There is no way to build the road like this. After all, these places have cities or counties, and it is much more difficult to re-open the road.

But this can't help Lu Chensheng? Now that it's been decided? The next plan has to be made.

"Young master? Let's eat something first."

Seeing the young master looking at the map and not speaking for a long time? Chu Wu reminded him from the side.

Lu Chensheng came back to his senses, picked up the ginseng soup on the table, took a sip, and his mouth was filled with the taste of ginseng.

"Why is it ginseng soup again?"

Lu Chensheng took a sip? Only then did he realize that it was ginseng soup again? He said helplessly.

"Miss said that the son has been overworked these days, and he needs to make up for it. This ginseng soup is some old-age ginseng picked back in Taohuawu a while ago."

On the other side of Taohuawu, Qiongyue and the others used to live in the stockade. There are a lot of wild ginseng on the mountain, and they are all aged.

It can be said that the ginseng picked there is very thoughtful.

Lu Chensheng had no choice but to drink a little bit.

"Our people don't seem to have explored this area yet, right?"

Lu Chensheng clicked on the map, and the place he clicked was a large virgin forest.

There are a lot of good things in it, such as velvet antler, medicinal materials such as ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, or some tigers, snow rabbits, hazel pheasants, wild chicks and so on.

It can be said that this place is full of treasures.

There are countless rare birds and animals here. There were many rare birds offered in the palace before, and many of them came from this place.

"Young master, more than half of this forest belongs to the Grand Duchy of Kiev."

Chu Wu glanced at it, then pouted and said something.

It is because there is a large area of ​​this forest that belongs to the other party, so it is not so easy to explore here.

In addition, the people who entered the mountain would sometimes encounter people from the Grand Duchy of Kiev, who were extremely arrogant. After seeing the people of the Xinghan Empire, they would often attack secretly, causing many people of the Xinghan Empire to die in the deep forest.

It can be said that the people who go in must not only guard against the beasts inside, but also guard against the people of the Grand Duchy of Kiev.

Chu Wu and Lu Chensheng talked carefully. Hearing these words, Lu Chensheng couldn't help frowning deeply.

He didn't know that there were these things in it.

Thinking that his own people would be killed by the other party when they entered the mountain, Lu Chensheng couldn't help showing a smug look on his face.

"It seems that this guy has never come to pay tribute to us, has he?"

Lu Chensheng asked with a sneer.

"Young master, the Grand Duchy of Kiev is quite powerful, with a military strength of 50. It is definitely not a weak empire. I am afraid it will not be easy to provoke."

Hearing the words on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he said something quickly.

Lu Chensheng waved his hands when he heard this, "Since you dare to kill the people of our Xinghan Empire, there is no reason to be lenient. What's more, all barbarians inside and outside, who dare to call themselves soldiers, will be killed!"

Lu Chensheng said categorically.

Hearing the words on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he immediately stopped talking, only feeling that the aura of the young master has returned, and he has become the kind of king who is in the world.

The Grand Duchy of Kiev is certainly extremely powerful, but what can it do?

Now that the steam engine of the Xinghan Empire has come out, the following industries can be greatly developed.

With the development of industry, soldiers' weapons can also be reformed and updated.

Under all these circumstances, Lu Chensheng felt that the Grand Duchy of Kiev would not be rampant for long.

However, the research institute needs to urge a little more, and now Lu Chensheng gradually feels that he is getting older.

Taking advantage of his ambition at this time, and being able to continue in this position, he has to develop quickly and deal with those enemies.

Otherwise, when he is old, it will be too late.

Chapter 789 Pounding Rice

The years of research at the research institute have not been in vain.

After the steam engine was developed, this thing quickly entered the progress of mass production.

Then, driven by the steam engine, the first bearing was also made.

After the experiment, after confirming the reliability of the bearing, a small workshop was established immediately to make the bearing.

With this bearing, the steam engine can continue to be improved one or two times, and the power can be increased.

As a result, not long after the first-generation steam engine came out, the improved second-generation steam engine came out directly.

The first-generation steam engine has been quietly eliminated before being known to many people. This second-generation steam engine has better performance and a longer lifespan.

The blueprint that Lu Chensheng gave here was also quickly produced.

At noon on this day, this machine was carried to the entrance of the vegetable market in Xing Seoul.

When the common people saw this extremely weird machine, they were all surprised. They didn't know what it was used for, but the appearance was indeed extremely weird.

After the machine was turned on, the noisy sound made people want to stay away.

However, the curiosity in my heart still attracted many people to wait and see.

"Everyone, watch out, this is my first rice thresher in Xinghan! This thing can beat the rice quickly, and there is no need to pound the rice!"

An official in official uniform took a step forward and said loudly to the people around him.

If he didn't speak a little louder, the people on the side would still not be able to hear what he was saying clearly.

"This thing can make rice? Is it true?"

"Even if you can grind rice, it's okay. People can grind rice by themselves. Do you still need this thing?"

The people around were puzzled, but they still watched carefully from the sidelines.

Seeing this scene, the officials directly brought out a basket of rice for the common people to take a look at.

After taking a look at it, the common people all confirmed that this thing was rice and hadn't been pounded yet.

Seeing that the people had no other opinions, the officials directly poured in from the funnel above the machine.

Amidst the roar of the machine, rice bran was blown out on one side, and rice was rolling down from below.

It's just that the rice hasn't been beaten thoroughly, and the top of it basically looks like rice.

The officials were not in a hurry, and waited until the first crop of rice had been harvested, and then poured it again.

The rice that came down this time has basically turned into rice.

Seeing this scene, the people suddenly widened their eyes.

This thing can really beat rice!And I don't know how fast it is, the key is that this thing saves effort!

Pounding rice is extremely laborious work, and it takes a long time.

Looking at this machine, the rice pounding speed is too fast.

They can smell the thick rice fragrance after the rice is beaten from a long distance, which is simply intoxicating.

In the eyes of all the people, this fragrant rice? It's simply admirable.

But among the common people? Come to think of it, there is no one who doesn't like this rice.

"Are you optimistic about this? This is the rice threshing machine, which can finish the rice very quickly. In the future, the common people won't have to work so hard to continue threshing rice. This is the research institute built by the Holy One himself, the product of the latest research!"

"Also, everyone, please look at the steam engine here? This is something that the research institute has just researched. This thing can drive the rice mill, and it can also be used for other tasks? For example, crushing ore."

Officials and common people introduced this thing? Let the common people have a general impression of this thing.

Another reason? Naturally, it is also to let the common people enhance their sense of honor and belonging to the Xinghan Empire.

The power of the empire? It can greatly enhance the people's belonging to the country.
