"Doesn't Tubo have their own way?"
Li Yi was puzzled. You people pay attention to the death of a large number of soldiers, not being able to form Gate A after years of war, and the defeated cowards will hang their tails to show their disgrace.
Why would they want a martyr cemetery if they were proud of dying in battle?
"I'm just saying, otherwise …"
He understood what Li Yi meant. If they were all like that, how could they be bullied by the Tang dynasty?
"Build it next to the Red White Palace and hold a big sacrificial ceremony every year to help stabilize the regime.
Build it with stones and make it sturdy. You will give extra benefits to the families of those who died in battle every year.
There will be disciples in Gate A who will be more loyal to you in the future. "
Li Yi gave the idea out of kindness. He was not lying.
Because the more he learned in the Tang dynasty, the more he knew how powerful the Tang dynasty was. When the regime was stabilized, he could directly bring Tubo into the Tang dynasty.
"That's good. Thank you, Doctor Li. When I go back, I will act according to Doctor Li's method. "His words had a double meaning.
He could see the Tang dynasty's plan, or Li Yi's thoughts.
He was conflicted and helpless. He did not know what to do in the future.
The only thing he could think of was that Tubo's life would gradually get better and the population would increase.
While they were talking, a large and dazzling flat land appeared in front of them.
There were greenhouses and glass greenhouses. Seeing the continuous glass greenhouses, one word came to everyone's mind: money!
"Brother Yi …" Li Longji opened his mouth and called out. He suddenly did not know what to say.
"It's used for seedlings. The weather in Luoyang is colder than in Chang 'an, but the people in Luoyang are still planting greenhouses.
I'll help them grow seedlings first. They directly use seedlings to plant, so the yield is high.
I'll use silk for the greenhouses on a larger scale. The cost of glass is too high.
After a few years, when the technology improves, I'll make plastic sheets. That's easy to use. "
Li Yi pointed to the clusters of seedlings in the glass greenhouses and said that he wanted to sell them to the people.
He felt that plastic was not easy to get, but glass was easy.
However, when the glass in school was broken when he was young, he usually covered it with plastic sheets. He did not have the money to replace the glass.
Even in winter, they could paste it with newspaper so that some light could pass through.
A group of people looked through the glass. Inside, there were people tending to all kinds of seedlings, and some were even taking out seedlings with a seedling moving device. Obviously, they were going to be transported elsewhere.
The news had already written about the jukebox, seedling transplanter, and other gadgets.
Every spring and summer, for fear that someone would forget, the newspaper would publish the pictures and production method.
Much of the content was repeated at key times to prevent the people from forgetting.
The people working were obviously not farmers. They wore all kinds of clothes, and some of them were chatting and laughing while they worked.
"How much is your daily wage?" Su Yi stood at Song Jing's original position and asked. Song Jing hid at the back.
"I don't know!" Li Yi shook his head. He wasn't the one who hired the workers. He couldn't afford to worry about it.
"I don't think it's a small amount. How can he smile if it's a small amount?" Noble Consort Lu made a judgment based on her observation.
"Let's go." Li Longji didn't want to ask and disturb others.
Ten minutes later, they bypassed the glass greenhouse area and reached a high hill on the mountain.
Next to it was a dismantled drilling platform, the kind that many people had drilled together to drill salt wells and water wells.
"Is it broken?" Liu Chong squatted down and looked. He recognized all the parts.
"It's too slow. I'll wait for the steam engine to come and set up a steam engine drilling platform. That's faster.
Solving the power problem will free up productivity. In the next few years, steam will be used in large quantities.
When the technology and raw materials are ready, we'll replace the steam engine with internal combustion engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines.
Large-scale industrial metal smelting is the basis for the application of such technology. After the court meeting, I'll recruit craftsmen. "
Li Yi wished he could solve all the basic problems in one go.
Unfortunately, he couldn't. The key factor was confidentiality.
He had to control it himself so that others couldn't learn it.
Technologies such as blast furnaces, converters, and open-hearth furnaces were not allowed to be spread. He would rather develop it slowly than give others a chance to catch up.
Steam engine ships were the dominant class at sea and could always seize the limelight.
Launching rockets and slings to throw incendiary objects, sailboats in the limelight couldn't do anything.
In a storm, steam engine ships could desperately run to the shore and have a high chance of survival. Sailboats couldn't cut their masts?
"The requirements for bearings are high, right?" Zhang Shuo squatted down to work on the parts.
"It depends on the number of revolutions. If it's not urgent, the existing bearings can support it. Work for a period of time and stop."
No one was more familiar with such technologies in the Tang dynasty than Li Yi.
In fact, the requirements for bearings for drilling machines were higher than for trains, steam engines, and cars.
Under the standards of the old national standards, the crude and simple drilling machines actually required D-grade bearings. Ordinary agricultural machinery vehicles couldn't even use them.
"Now that we need to build more steam engines, Henan Province needs them. There are still few wells and they're afraid of drought. Luoyang is relatively better with many rivers. "
Zhang Shuo was like a squirrel, always thinking about logistics. It was better to not use a well after drilling it.
"You won't be the magistrate of Henan Province in the future." Li Yi reminded Zhang Shuo.
"Why should I be? My heart is in Henan Province." Zhang Shuo looked up.
"There's nothing wrong with that. I also have Henan Province in my heart, not just Henan Province.
But if the well is too deep, the pressure well won't be able to pump water up. It uses atmospheric pressure to pump water.
When it's close to ten meters deep, the water pressure is equal to one atmosphere. When the pressure is the same, it's useless no matter how you pump water.
We can only use the method of brine well to sink the bamboo tube and lift it up. It's the same principle as the wooden barrel in the well. "
Li Yi said that the drought was too severe, and the shortcoming of the pressure well was that it used atmospheric pressure.
The brine wells in Sichuan Province were more than 100 meters deep, and they were connected by bamboo tubes with iron rods at the bottom.
A string of bamboo tubes would be lowered, and the brine would be filled with brine before being lifted up. This way, the brine would be moved to the surface.
Otherwise, unless they could create an air compressor, this would be able to pump very deep wells.
"Then … can we …" Zhang Shuo hoped that the well could be dug deeper. How thick would it have to be to use a drilling platform?
He said four words, but Li Yi actually understood, "Yes, it requires a lot of power, good quality materials, and reasonable structure.
Attach a large Luoyang shovel to the drilling platform, and the connecting rod has to be strong enough, otherwise it will break.
Wait for me to do some research. Drilling a well is very difficult. We have to ensure that we have enough water for daily use. Forget about watering, we have to transfer food from other places. "
Li Yi had done some research on this before. Not only could the Luoyang shovel be used for tomb raiding, it could also be modified into a mechanical pendant to drill a large diameter well.
If the well was 30 meters deep, a high shelf could be built, and the thick Luoyang shovel could be used to smash the well down. It wouldn't be a problem to lift the soil with each smash.
If it was in Hebei Province, it would be best to dig. Tunnel warfare was good at digging, let alone a mere well.
"Luoyang shovel? Luoyang shovel? "Zhang Shuo was curious about the name. Why didn't I know about it?
"You were the one who suggested it in Luoyang. The method I gave you is naturally called Luoyang shovel."
Li Yi was quick-witted and gave a perfect answer.
"That makes sense." Zhang Shuo agreed. Yes, the method he came up with in Luoyang was called Luoyang shovel.
