The strongest nine thousand years old

Chapter 206 New Project, Industrial Revolution

"nailed it."

Chen Dong patted Yan Yunzheng's hand and spoke softly.

Yan Yunzheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He struggled to sit up from the bed, but was pushed down by Chen Dong.

She smiled helplessly, "I'm not that weak. When you were not around, I got through it all by myself."

Chen Dong felt a lump in his throat when he heard this.

This strong-willed woman has secretly endured so much suffering!

Chen Dong grabbed her hand and said seriously, "It would be fine if I didn't know. Now that I know, I will never let you suffer any more injustice."

The deep affection in his eyes could not be hidden. Yan Yunzheng's heart beat wildly and a blush appeared on his face.

"What else did he say?" She quickly changed the subject.

Chen Dong raised his eyebrows and snorted deliberately, "That guy has a big appetite and has set his sights on Elder Yang's position."

"However, he has also expressed his loyalty to Your Majesty. From now on, he will follow Your Majesty's lead and will have no regrets even if he dies."

Yan Yunzheng was originally frowning, but when he heard Chen Dong's next words, his brows immediately relaxed.

"Lord Yang is indeed old. Let him study under him first, and then we will make him the successor after he retires and returns to his hometown." Yan Yunzheng murmured.

"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Dong complimented.

Yan Yunzheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Help me up. I can still read the memorials."

"Don't look at it anymore. Rest for two days first." Chen Dong held her down, preventing her from moving.

"That won't do. I must read the memorials from officials regarding people's livelihood projects." Yan Yunzheng said firmly.

"If you don't let me see, don't touch me anymore!"

Chen Dong said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you. How about this, you don't need to look at it anymore, I'll read it to you, is that okay?"

Yan Yunzheng snorted delicately, revealing the attitude of a smug little girl.

Chen Dong could only pick up the memorial and read it to Yan Yunzheng.

He glanced at it first, and immediately frowned, "What the hell, it's bullshit."

"What's going on?" Yan Yunzheng asked puzzledly.

"This guy wants to build temples in various places to use the power of gods to protect Dayan and ensure good weather and harvests in the coming year." Chen Dong curled his lips and said.

Yan Yunzheng couldn't help but be speechless.

Chen Dong threw the memorial aside and picked up another one.

"This one is more reliable. In order to build water conservancy projects and irrigate farmland, he has also designed a labor-saving water-drawing device." Chen Dong said with his eyes lighting up.

Yan Yunzheng also became interested and stretched out his hand to Chen Dong, saying, "Give it to me and have a look."

Chen Dong slapped Yan Yunzheng's hand away and warned him, "We agreed that I will read and you listen. Do you want to break the rules?"

Yan Yunzheng said speechlessly: "Why are you going to read the design to me?"

"This design is not mature yet. I will go back to him and ask him to make some improvements, and then find a craftsman to make the actual product." Chen Dong said, "Then you will be able to see it in person."

Yan Yunzheng sighed, "Okay, next one."

Chen Dong scratched his head, feeling that he seemed to have missed something, as if a piece of his brain was missing. He didn't think much about it and picked up another memorial.

When he saw the memorial, his face instantly became serious.

Yan Yunzheng, who was always paying attention to Chen Dong, couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw that his expression was not right.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yunzheng asked nervously.

"His idea coincides with mine, which is to develop industry," Chen Dong said slowly.

"Industry?" Yan Yunzheng looked puzzled.

Chen Dong took out his gun and pointed the black muzzle at Yan Yunzheng's fair face. Yan Yunzheng's face changed and he quickly dodged to the side.

"Why are you pointing a gun at me?" Yan Yunzheng was a little annoyed.

The gun went off accidentally and her head exploded.

Chen Dong shrugged. "I just wanted you to see it more clearly. This gun, from the barrel to the butt, was made by craftsmen hammering it out one hammer at a time. It was too slow."

"The Ministry of Industry has now put aside all its work and is focusing on making guns. Even so, it will take until the spring to meet my requirements."

"If the Shenji Battalion doesn't practice spear training, what's the point of calling it the Shenji Battalion? It's more like the Fire Battalion."

"If we develop industry, it will be different. Using machines to replace manpower can greatly improve efficiency. Moreover, the parts made by machines have uniform sizes, so there is no need to worry about mismatches."

"Let me give you another example. If you ride a horse to Youzhou, it will take at least two days, and it will be very tiring. But if you have a tireless and fast iron horse, you can reach Youzhou in just one day, and you won't get tired."

"If it is used to transport troops, it would be like a divine force descending from the sky."

Yan Yunzheng's eyes lit up.

After Chen Dong's in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation, she has understood the necessity of developing industry. This is very important for expanding territory. It is very much to her liking as an empress.

"Let's make this kind of iron horse." Yan Yunzheng decided, "After defeating the barbarians, I will also fight in the Western Regions."

The corner of Chen Dong's mouth twitched suddenly.

It turns out that war is the primary productive force.

"I'll go see him right now." Chen Dong said.

…………

Before meeting "Tiemufeng", Chen Dong went to the Jinyiwei Yamen first.

He finally remembered what he had forgotten - Ma Liu and Cui Silang.

As soon as he entered the government office, Ma Liu and Cui Silang came hurriedly to greet him.

"Sir, we have got what you want." Ma Liu said respectfully.

Chen Dong patted Ma Liu's shoulder vigorously and laughed, "Good! Thank you for your hard work."

Ma Liu smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your guidance, sir. It's not hard at all."

"This is a reward for you." Chen Dong casually took out a ten-liang silver note, and Ma Liu and Cui Silang were so happy that their teeth almost broke.

"Thank you Sir."

Under the leadership of Ma Liu and Cui Silang, Chen Dong saw what they made in the martial arts field - a carriage.

To be precise, it is not manufacturing, but modification.

The carriage is still the original carriage, but the wheels have been modified and a thick layer of rubber has been added to the outside.

Although it is a little different from what Chen Dong had imagined, being able to wrap the wooden wheel with rubber and then fill it with air is also a job of craftsmanship.

Ma Liu introduced: "We have tried it. The carriage is lighter and not as bumpy."

Chen Dong walked around the carriage and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Chen Dong was satisfied, Ma Liu and Cui Silang both breathed a sigh of relief.

But unexpectedly, he heard Chen Dong order: "Take off the wheel."

"Ah?" Ma Liu and Cui Silang were dumbfounded.

Cui Silang was so anxious that his face turned red. "Sir, you can't take it down! We installed it with great difficulty!"

"I have other uses for this wheel. Take it off." Chen Dong said firmly.

Ma Liu and Cui Silang looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and removed the wheels.

Seeing these two wheels, Chen Dong seemed to see bicycles running all over the streets.

"Come on, I'll take you to see someone." Chen Dong called.

He originally wanted Ma Liu and Cui Silang to make the bicycles, but now there are better candidates.

Ironwood Maple!
