Don't look at a few things on the machine tool, they keep repeating that action, but after that they can directly make a piece of material into what they want. This kind of thing is really amazing.

No wonder the Holy Majesty has been talking about technology as the primary productive force in the past.

With such things being continuously produced, the productivity will naturally increase directly.

"My lord, if this kind of machine tools are everywhere in the future, won't the common people have nothing to do?"

Gu Zhifang thought about it, and asked hesitantly.

In his opinion, this kind of machine tool is good.

But with this kind of thing, it seems that manpower is no longer needed, especially once there are more such machine tools, isn't it even more so?

A machine tool can do such a complicated thing, and it can do it better than humans, so don't people need it?

Lu Chensheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Don't worry, I'm afraid you won't have such concerns for hundreds of years. A machine is a machine after all. Even if you want to use a machine, you still need someone to watch it."

Gu Zhifang didn't understand these things very well, but just looking at the things produced by these machine tools, it seems that everything can be handed over to the machine tools, and I am afraid that manpower will not be needed in the future.

But at this moment, listening to what the Holy Majesty said, it seems that there is some truth.

This thing is good. When it starts up, it doesn't need people. It also needs people to place materials on it, and it also needs people to transport materials and so on.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhifang immediately felt relieved.

"However, this machine tool is too powerful. It can be produced day and night, and the production speed is fast. No wonder those aristocratic families are urging to get this machine tool as soon as possible."

Gu Zhifang muttered.

He followed Lu Chensheng, and he could still hear a lot of news.

For example, recently, he often heard that the aristocratic families clamored to quickly own these machine tools, steam engines and so on.

Before, he felt that these aristocratic families were too disappointing and a little too unsteady, isn't it just a thing, as for being so excited?

It was only after seeing it today that I realized how powerful this thing is.

Hearing Gu Zhifang's muttering, Lu Chensheng didn't answer, but was just thinking about the next plan.

With the machine tool over there, relying on this machine tool, weapons should be produced by then.

There is no problem with gunpowder. Since there are no weapons, the power of gunpowder has been continuously developed, and its power has increased a lot.

When the artillery comes out, the power of these firearms will be raised several levels.

For this, there is nothing to worry about.

The sedan chair passed the street.

Lu Chensheng opened the curtain and looked outside. He could see that the leaves of the trees on the side of the road had all fallen off, but there were no fallen leaves on the street, and they had been swept away.

Instead, I want to go down and take a look, and see the current Star Seoul.

This thought flashed through Lu Chensheng's mind, but after glancing at the yellow robe on his body, he dismissed it again.

Now that he is dressed like this, Gu Zhifang will never let him go down for a walk.

Moreover, going on like this is a little troublesome, and the common people will respectfully step aside when they see it.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng had no choice but to give up and let the sedan chair carry him back to the palace.

After Lu Chensheng returned to the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, it was much warmer in the palace.

"The Holy One is back!"

Seeing Lu Chensheng coming back, the maids immediately reported.

Qiongyue and the girls raised their heads to take a look, then lowered their heads to nurse again.

"How did your husband go?"

After feeding Linyu, he asked a question.

"It's still very good. Some machine tools are almost done. When the springs and bearings are ready, they will be used on the carriage. Even if it is far away when traveling, the carriage will not be too bumpy. "

Lu Chensheng replied.

The steam engine is not used in the carriage, but it is still possible to use springs and bearings.

Coupled with the continuous construction of cement roads in various places, Lu Chensheng felt that even if he traveled far away, riding in a carriage would not be too uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Lin Yu became a little interested.

"Is that true? I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time, thinking about when I will go back and take a look."

It has been several years since she came to this city of Seoul. She wants to go back and have a look. There are no canals in her hometown, and she can only rely on a horse-drawn carriage when she wants to go back.

Just thinking of the bumps of the carriage along the way, Lin Yu felt a little unbearable.

"Of course it's true. After the carriage is developed, if the lady wants to go back and have a look, then go back."

Lin Yu misses his hometown a little bit, which is understandable.

Thinking of him, Lu Chensheng often misses home, Linyu is so close to home, it is easy to go back.

At that time, the carriage developed by the people will be better, and the carriage will be longer. When you go back, you can basically maintain a comfortable level.

Lin Yu nodded quickly after hearing this.

When Bai Yi heard this, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

I thought about going back to have a look, but then I thought, there seemed to be no relatives there, and there seemed to be nothing for her to see when she went back.

It's just a mansion, she will only feel deserted when she goes back alone.

It would be better to be in this palace, which makes her feel like home.

"When this machine tool is finished and we can start making weapons, then we will clean up the Grand Duchy of Kiev. It's not a day or two since this guy has had conflicts with us. Take this opportunity to let the other party feel our strength."

Lu Chensheng was talking to Bai Yi who was on the side, seeing Bai Yi raised his head, with the flickering expression in his eyes, he immediately laughed.

"Is the lady interested in destroying a country for fun?"

This is something Bai Yi mentioned a long time ago, but Lu Chensheng has always remembered it.

When Bai Yi heard this, she suddenly became interested and seemed a little excited.

She thought that Lu Chensheng had forgotten about this matter, the Beifan Kingdom was destroyed, and the Zanda clan was destroyed, and she did not see her husband asking her to fight.

"Of course I thought about it, but I haven't led troops to fight for a long time!"

Bai Yi was originally a general, but now he has become a married woman. Although he is not unwilling, he just feels somewhat regretful.

"Since the lady wants to, then let the lady deal with the Grand Duchy of Kiev. The lady only needs to beat the other party hard, and don't worry about the rest."

Lu Chensheng did some calculations, and according to the time he calculated just now, the first batch of weapons will be released next year, which is just right for him to practice with the opponent.

The resources in the primeval forest shared with the Grand Duchy of Kiev are too rich, sharing with each other for one more day makes Lu Chensheng feel panicky in his heart.

"My husband is now starting to destroy the country at every turn."

Qiongyue shook her head repeatedly as she listened, thinking that in the past dynasties, no emperor would say such a thing.

The maid at the side, who was writing down the daily record, paused slightly when she heard the words, and then wrote down the words in the history book.

Hundreds of years later, the Xinghan Empire was already extremely powerful, and Lu Chensheng's daily life records were leaked out, and they were read by countless people immediately.

When people saw that the emperor who built a powerful empire directly spoke the words of destroying the country, they were all overwhelmed.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an emperor through the ages, and if he exports it, he will destroy the country!

If you dare to invade my Xinghan, then send troops to destroy the country, and never talk to you!

Bai Yi was very happy to hear this. All of her subordinates, Bai Yi, had such a record, directly destroying an army of 30!

Qi Shizhong was also good. He set fire to the Beifan Kingdom and burned the Beifan Kingdom completely, which directly expanded the territory of the Xinghan Empire a lot.

The Household Department has already begun to arrange for some people to move to Beifan Kingdom, intending to completely occupy that side.

And she, Bai Yi, is also a very famous general.

But up to now, there is no record. Everyone remembers clearly that she is probably her concubine.

But fortunately, my husband has not forgotten this matter. If you say that the Grand Duchy of Kiev is still extremely powerful, its own vast territory is no different from the Xinghan Empire.

In this way, as long as this area can be conquered, Bai Yi's name can also be ranked among the generals.

This is the top number that can be ranked after arriving!

At Bai Yi's place, he already thought that he would lead his troops to use various strategies to win the wars, and directly beat the Grand Duchy of Kiev to the ground.

On Lu Chensheng's side, what he thought was that as long as the weapons were developed well, then it would be an asymmetrical war.

The opponent's soldiers were still charging, and they fell directly on the way of charging.

And the artillery can directly blast down the opponent's city wall, so that no one dares to stand on the opponent's city wall!

At that time, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Kiev will lose their fighting spirit, and it will be an easy task to win the opponent's big country.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng became more and more happy.

If Bai Yi knew what Lu Chensheng was thinking, she might not be so happy.

Of course, it is worth being happy to win the war in this way, but everything will still look dull.

This is somewhat different from the battlefield she won with her own abilities.

Chapter 796 Potassium Salt

The weather after autumn suddenly became severe cold, and winter came directly without knowing it.

When the outside of the Great Wall was directly covered with thick snow, Lu Chensheng was already lazily leaving the palace every day.

Later, the ministers were simply asked to discuss matters in the imperial study.

The Royal Study Room is relatively close, and it basically doesn't take long to go there, unlike going to the Chengtian Palace, even if you are sitting on the dragon, it still takes a while.

The imperial study room is also relatively spacious, and the ministers felt that this was a bit out of etiquette, but they didn't say anything more after thinking about it.

Compared with the kings of previous dynasties, there will be some ridiculous things.

The current king is much better, but he just changed the place where he went to court because he was afraid of the cold.

"Drink some porridge, come to the palace so early, all the lovers must be freezing, drink some hot porridge to warm up."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, and the maids brought hot porridge for the ministers to enjoy, and then brought some side dishes.

Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other, "Your Majesty, why don't you eat this?"

They are worried, what if people feel anxious after eating this?

"It's okay, if someone is in a hurry, just take a small step back and don't need to care about such etiquette."

Lu Chensheng could see what the ministers were thinking, and replied directly.

I basically don’t eat when I go to court, and I am completely worried about this problem.

However, considering that the ministers got up so early and rushed to the palace, Lu Chensheng felt that it was okay to change the rules.

Seeing this, the ministers hesitated for a moment, and saw that Du Rufang started to drink directly, so they didn't care.

In front of the Holy One, all the ministers were very particular about eating, basically chewing slowly and not letting themselves make a sound.

If you make some noise while eating, it can basically be said that you don't understand etiquette, and the censors can impeach them and say a word of impoliteness before the imperial court.

"My lord, the third voyage has already started. According to the orders made by the foreigners, the ships on this voyage brought a lot of armor and weapons."

The people from the household department wrote the memorial and handed it up, so that the emperor can see it clearly.

When the Gentiles came, they brought a lot of money and bought a lot of weapons.

After this summer, they basically stayed in Xing Seoul, and only returned with the ship at this time.

But not everyone went back, and the other party still left a lot of people in this star Seoul.

Its name is to say that it worships the power of the Xinghan Empire, but in fact, I still want to stay here to learn more technology, spy on news and make some contributions to trade.

For these people, the reason given by the people from the household department after asking the emperor for instructions was to let them stay, as long as they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

"Well, if the weapons are sold, let's sell them. Anyway, next year, these weapons may have to be replaced with new ones, so that people can take more of them out and try to sell all the weapons. It will be troublesome to accumulate them."

"Yes."

Hubu Shangshu responded.

"Your Majesty, according to the latest news from the spies, several suspected potassium salt lakes have been discovered in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Kiev. The probability of containing potassium salt is more than [-]%, and one of them has a probability of [-]%."
