Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Pencil


Zhu Youxiao said: "You don't understand what I mean.

I want to use your behavior to let everyone in the world know that if you can create something useful that has not been available before, or you can transform something to improve production efficiency, Metropolis Bring yourself wealth.

You must have this job, and I will let the newspapers publicize it so that everyone in the world can use it.

A gentleman loves money, and the best way to get it is.

Nothing could be cleaner than this.”

Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, the students feel that after some things are made, the developers cannot get a share of them, such as paper and pens.

These are things that are conducive to promoting education in the world and should be sold as cheaply as possible so that students all over the world can There is a chance to use it.”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "What Chang Geng said makes sense.

This is the true idea of ​​serving the country and the people.

Don't worry, I think so too.

I will not manufacture items such as paper and pens."

The reason is just as Chang Geng said.

However, you still have to give a reward, but this reward will be given by me.

In addition to pens, there is also a kind of pencil, which is more suitable for people who have not entered school to learn to write.

I will give you a basic idea of ​​how to make it, and you can invent it.

Later, I will be richly rewarded."

Zhu Youxiao said: "There is a kind of ore that is black, very soft, and can burn.

I call it graphite.

Have you heard of it?"

Song Yingxing thought for a while and said, "Is it possible that there is a place in Shidai called a thrush stone, and young ladies often use it to draw eyebrows."

Zhu Youxiao said: "It should be this.

Mix it with clay to harden it and make it into a long strip.

Then wrap it with wood or bamboo chips, and you can write on paper."

He briefly explained the principle of pencil, and then said: "The words written in pencil can be erased with an eraser, but there is no rubber now, so you can erase it with your fingers first.

When I think about it, that look is really funny."

Song Yingxing said: "If you can wipe it off with your fingers, you can also use pigskin or something to make a special tool for wiping it off.

The effect should be similar."

Zhu Youxiao praised: "Chang Geng is indeed a talent.

He should be able to do it.

The principle is like this.

You should contact the Ministry of Industry first to see where there are graphite mines.

It is best to use machines to make them.

Manual work is too troublesome.

Spread knowledge It’s the most important thing.

I leave this paper and pen to you.

I hope you can give me a surprise.”

Song Yingxing bent down and said: "Students must live up to His Majesty's hope, so that students all over the world can use cheap and high-quality paper and pens."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "The Baochao Department will be handed over to Chang Geng.

You are all scholars and you will naturally understand the importance of this matter.

I won't say anything more.

Everything needed for paper production is from Wang Chengen.

After production, the paper He is also responsible for the sales.”

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, I think that the paper and salt can be handed over to the agricultural cooperative for sale, and the vermicelli and monosodium glutamate can also be handled in the same way.

This will be beneficial to the agricultural cooperative, and we can avoid reopening the store."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said: "That's great.

Agricultural cooperatives will have branches in cities anyway, so that a business channel system can be built across the country.

You will become a specialized supplier, and everything will be done on a commercial basis."

If we follow the right path, Dongchang and the Independent Commission Against Corruption must also strengthen their supervision of agricultural cooperatives.

I don’t want any scandals to happen there.”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured.

Dongchang has the force and the Independent Commission Against Corruption has the people to count.

Every one found will be dealt with."

Zhu Youxiao said: "The most important thing about fighting corruption and advocating integrity is to implement it.

No matter who is guilty, they should not be leniently punished.

Then the newspaper should report it in time to let everyone know the government's determination to deal with corruption.

Finally, I’d like to catch a big guy, a prince or something like that, and show him how he looks like.”

After leaving the Baochao Department, Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace.

He played with his son and daughter for a while, took a break after lunch, and then went to the weapons bureau.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Ordnance Bureau, Bi Maokang stepped forward to apologize for his unreasonable remarks that day.

Zhu Youxiao helped him up and said: "Master Bi, actually I prefer to invent something with you in the weapons bureau.

There are many and complicated things in the court, let the ministers do their work.

If the Ming Dynasty is compared to a ship , I am the captain, but the captain can't take care of everything.

I only need to control the ministers.

So Bi Shi's suggestion really saved me from the trivial affairs of the court, and I still want to thank you."

Although Bi Maokang was obsessed with scientific research, he was not pedantic.

He knew that what he said that day was exactly what the civil servant meant.

Seeing the emperor's generosity today, I felt so grateful that I had no choice but to apologize no more.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I will be in the weapons bureau for a long time in the future.

Today I came to learn about the situation of steel manufacturing.

How did the last experiment of using clay to make slag go?"

Sun Yuanhua replied: "Your Majesty, after using clay, the quality of steel has obviously become better.

Now the Iron and Steel Factory of the Ordnance Bureau alone can produce three thousand shi of iron and two thousand shi of steel a day, and the output of Qian'an Iron and Steel Plant is even more It can produce 5,000 shi of iron and 3,000 shi of steel.

The total output of several iron and steel plants in North Zhili can reach 18,000 shi, which is more than enough to supply manufacturing and railways.”

Zhu Youxiao asked: "Are all rails made of steel?"

Sun Yuanhua hesitated and said: "According to His Majesty's request, everything is made of steel.

However, I have tested it and found that if it is made of wrought iron, the same effect can be achieved.

Wrought iron is cheaper than steel, and it is not used to make rails.

It doesn’t need to be as good as steel.”

Zhu Youxiao patted his head and said: "Oh, I didn't think carefully.

If it's okay to use wrought iron, then of course use wrought iron.

Please be careful in the future.

If you have different opinions, you must tell me in time.

Don't worry.

In terms of knowledge, the worst thing is to believe in authority. .

I may have made some suggestions and opinions, which were proved to be useful in subsequent experiments, which will make you superstitious that I am right in everything, and you will also be unwilling or unwilling because I am the emperor.

It’s not good to dare to make your suggestions.”

He thought for a moment and said: "Gather the people from the Ordnance Bureau together and hold a meeting tomorrow to talk about this matter.

Regardless of their status, everyone is encouraged to put forward their opinions.

The science must not be false.

I'll take a look first.

Look at your recent research.”

Sun Yuanhua nodded, asked someone to inform him, and then took the emperor to the inner room, took out a stack of paper and said: "Your Majesty, the Ordnance Bureau is mainly studying the improvement of locomotives, the improvement of explosive ammunition, and then hydraulic machines. of manufacturing
