Chapter 46 The Age of Steam

The first steam car modified by the steam engine was very successful in trial operation, and Mo Yun and his team took into account all aspects of the design.

Braking, turning, shockproof, power connection and cutting between the car and the steam engine... As long as you add coal and boil water, you only need to move a few poles and steering wheel for the next operation. After you are familiar with the operation, the car will follow your wishes.

This design made Liu Feiyun feel so satisfied. If you want to say something wrong, the appearance of this car is not quite satisfactory, but there is a reason for the roughness. This is just the first experimental prototype.

After the car turned around and came back again, Dong Fang could not wait to kill him, wanting to try the fun of driving.

Liu Shuhan followed, and he also wanted to see how this magical thing could move.

Liu Feiyun reminded: "Please be careful and let Mo Gong's apprentices guide you aside and don't open it blindly."

These are all novices, and he doesn't want the first car to come out and run into a road killer.

"I understand, we're awake." Liu Shuhan and Dong Fang didn't care, so they moved a few poles and a round thing, which was as simple as they were.

However, they got started very quickly. After the apprentices explained to them basic operational knowledge, they pointed out a few more times, and the two of them easily got on the road, and even excitedly kept up, pursuing speed and passion.

Fortunately, the apprentice kept staring at me. As long as something was wrong, the power system was cut off immediately and then the brakes were urgently controlled, so there was no car accident because of the inability to control it.

But Dong Fang was unhappy. He glared at the apprentice and said, "What are you doing? I'm driving it well, why do you turn it off? Click it up quickly and continue."

Liu Shuhan was quite sensible. He slapped Dong Fang on the head: "Third brother, why are you doing so quickly? I don't know if something is easy to get into trouble."

"How could something happen? It's very simple, I can do it faster!"

"Ba." Dong Fang's defense was met with another slap. Liu Shuhan said: "What if you can't control it? Safety first. If you make trouble, I will let Feiyun not let you drive this steamer in the future."

"Oh." Liu Shuhan's words calmed Dong Fang. This was his first time driving this magical steam car, but this time he fell in love with it deeply, which was so exciting.

He thought to himself: "It seems that the racing has to be carried out secretly, and it is not satisfying slowly. This thing can be so fast."

Liu Feiyun witnessed the whole process, but he had no worries. The speed was so fast that he didn't even have the qualification to get on the highway.

"My Worker, thank you for your hard work this time." Liu Feiyun turned to look at the people in the scientific research department and expressed his condolences.

"It should be, hahaha, I didn't expect that in my lifetime we would invent such a thing, death without regrets, death without regrets." Mo Yun and others had long been excited and burst into tears. This thing can make people remember forever. In this era when they are extremely fond of fame, this is undoubtedly a shocking moment.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyun joked: "You are satisfied now. I originally wanted to reward you. If you all look like this, I won't give you any rewards, just save me some money."

"No, no, Master of the Valley, we are not satisfied, we are not satisfied." They were happy, but they could not refuse the reward. Moreover, they also understood Liu Feiyun's temperament and immediately looked at Liu Feiyun pitifully.

"Okay, okay, the rewards you should give you will be very little." Liu Feiyun shook his head helplessly. Sometimes these serious scientific researchers are always out of tune.

Seeing that there was another reward, everyone cheered, and Mo Yun asked on behalf of everyone: "Master, how many rewards do we have this time?" After that, he grinned.

"How about each person rewarding one or two gold?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Mo Yun and others were even more excited.

One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, which is ten tons of money. For the outside world, it may be much less, but not much more. But in the valley, the currency has agreed to be exchanged for bank notes issued by banks, with a face value ranging from one yuan, ten yuan, fifty and one hundred yuan. He did not issue all the denominations in his previous life, but these were enough.

So how valuable is one or two gold in the valley? You can go to the bank to exchange for one thousand yuan! And what kind of consumption capacity is this thousand yuan?

Let me put it this way, in the valley mall, a bowl of noodles is generally one yuan, the kind that is sufficient, four dishes, one soup, one meal, and there are meat and vegetables, and the average is about twenty or thirty. This shows the actual value of these two golds.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyun nodded: "It's good that you are satisfied. Keep working hard and try to see if you can get the steam engine to other production machines. But please pay attention to rest. The work is endless, but the manpower is limited. Don't squeeze yourself, as this is not worth the cost."

"I know, Valley Master, we will pay attention. It is in the rules and regulations, and we will ensure that we have sufficient rest time."

The mature use of the first steam engine marked the official entry of the steam era in the valley. However, Liu Feiyun did not want the air of the paradise built by himself to be polluted, so he also restricted the extensive use of steam engines, mostly mainly hydraulic and wind power.

Despite this, the scientific research department has learned a lot from steaming cars and has improved many tools again, making many machines more convenient and efficient.

If outsiders find out now, they will definitely be envious. Not to mention food, drink, accommodation, paper produced in the valley, and books published, the cheap ones should not be cheaper. This is something that scholars or anyone in this era dreams of, and they represent knowledge.

Unfortunately, these are not known to outsiders now, and Liu Feiyun dares not reveal them. This is the roots of the aristocratic family.

"Xiaoyu, come on, let's give you this book, study hard and read it well." Liu Feiyun handed Li Yu a book. This is a comic book, in addition to the words, there are pictures, which he spent a lot of energy and racked his brains to get it.

The last incident made her haze for a while. Now that it is so chaotic outside, he can't take Li Yu out, so he has to coax her from other aspects.

"Thank you brother, Xiaoyu likes it very much, mu!" Li Yu was unhappy when he saw his brother giving her a book, but after opening it, he saw that it was full of stories he knew or was unfamiliar with, as well as illustrations. He happily gave Liu Feiyun a kiss as a reward, and then left happily. Now if this little guy hadn't been telling her a story, he wouldn't be happy to play with him. Behind her, a large group of friends were waiting for her to tell stories.

"This girl." Liu Feiyun shook his head and didn't blame him much. He didn't hope much, as long as Li Yu could grow up happily.

Finally, the first snowfall this year brought silver to the earth and completely stabilized the entire environment in the Central Plains, and everyone was resting and recuperating.

A warm coal stove, a pot of tea and a few snacks, this is the most pleasant experience in the winter afternoon. There is really not much in the winter. There is nothing short of land in the valley, and everyone is idle at home. Playing cards and chatting, it is still the people in the valley that Liu Feiyun can live. There are fresh green vegetables that people outside dare not think of.

Vegetables are grown in greenhouses, and glass and steel smelting technology has matured. There will definitely be no problem in building some greenhouses.

At this time, Liu Feiyun and Liu Shuhan were eating around the hot pot, and they picked up some dishes for Li Yu from time to time, and everyone was satisfied with the food.

After dinner, Liu Feiyun asked Liu Shuhan: "Brother Liu, what's going on outside now?"

"It's still the same thing, but the Ziyun Kingdom is now divided into several small countries. Those princes and some ambitious people have become emperors. They don't know what they mean. They really think that they can become emperors with just a few soldiers."

Liu Shuhan then said: "Only the Shang, Zhou, Wu, Yue and Han are putting pressure on them. Otherwise, these jumping people would have been destroyed by Xihao Kingdom long ago, so how could they be shouting around there?"

"The power is charming. It's hard to get out when you are in the game. Forget it, it has nothing to do with us." Liu Feiyun turned around and asked, "How is Zhao's now?"

"Now most of the people in the Zhao family are huddled in their old houses in Yangzhou, and not many people are walking outside. Our people have been secretly executed and they are brought back to pay tribute to the graves of their brothers and villagers."

"It seems that it's not easy to do, so don't worry, it will come out sooner or later."

This kind of murder and revenge life is really not urgent. If it fails and is discovered, it will be very bad. Moreover, they have time now, so there is no need to worry too much.

A few days later, Liu Shuhan suddenly rushed over with a happy look on his face. Before he entered the door, he shouted: "Feiyun, good news, great news."

Liu Feiyun said curiously: "What good news?"

Liu Shuhan explained: “The Zhao family has an accident. To be precise, all the aristocratic families in Ziyun Kingdom have been affected.”

"Just just now, our news came back that the Xihao Kingdom court confiscated all the land of these aristocratic families, and their original family bases had to pay for their own money, so they could cut a piece of their meat."

Liu Shuhan explained a little and handed the letter sent back by the spy to Liu Feiyun. After reading it, Liu Feiyun roughly understood that the family of Ziyun Kingdom was really miserable, among which the three major families were the most.

In the words of Xihao Kingdom, this land was all taken down by us and belonged to our country. All the land agreements before your aristocratic families were invalidated, even the same was true for the past residences. You should know how much land these aristocratic families occupied, tens of thousands of acres and hundreds of thousands of acres of land they accumulated over generations.

Now that I have nothing to say, I still can’t argue. And now I have to buy all my ancestral homes with money. If I don’t buy them, this is their root.

After several generations of hard work, this generation has returned to the pre-development of land.

But they were not worried because they had the capital to turn the tables, the most powerful weapon and knowledge of this era. As long as they keep their ancestral homes and read carefully, these will come back sooner or later.

After reading it, Liu Feiyun said, "It should be that the words Lin Shanhe, the emperor of Ziyun Kingdom, had worked before his death. There had never been such a situation before."

"It's very likely." Liu Shuhan agreed, and he said, "So should we take some action next?"
