In the following days, the students of No. 8,000 were trapped in the locomotives with too much weight, and the power of the steam engine could not drive the locomotives; and the steam engine was too big and the architecture could not support it; they always circulated between the two, and the volume of the locomotives began to grow larger and larger...

Half a month later, seeing that the locomotives were half a yard big, Ren Baqian finally couldn't help it: "Can you idiots change the structure to iron?"

"Iron is too expensive! I can't afford it!" Tonglan said with a proud face, and everyone nodded.

Ren Baqian almost laughed angry, a group of second-generation officials... Well, although they are a useless person among the second-generation officials, they are not a good deal, right? So many people can't even afford to buy iron, right?

However, seeing that their expressions did not seem to be fake, Ren Baqian remembered that he had not cared much about Dayao's current iron production these days, so he would not say more.

Not enough, he has recently discovered some interesting phenomena: it was a good thing before, but these students gradually divided them into three levels from the beginning of making the steam engine.

The first level is Tonglan and Shi Gan, the two with the highest force. At this time, it can be seen from the two of them that the other people’s bodies are a bit dirty, but the two of them are relatively clean.

However, the two of them are still different in their cleanliness. Tonglan is clean and refreshing, and her white clothes are completely out of place with the messy scenes around her.

And Shi Gan... Although his chest and sleeves looked a little dirty, you can tell by looking at his hands, it was clean and there was no trace of work.

But he made his clothes dirty a little, making him look less special.

I can only say that I am the son of Dazhi, and I am not on the same level as Tonglan, the silly girl with muscles in her head.

These two people are mainly responsible for speaking and making suggestions. Among them, Shi Gan still put forward many useful suggestions, and Tonglan's function is to move and be a mascot.

Although Tonglan seems to have done a lot of things recently, all of these things are fighting with Shi Gan and coming up with bad ideas because of "different concepts".

The second part is a small part of who are more powerful and do less work, mainly doing odd jobs and giving ideas. This group of people unexpectedly mainly use civilian students.

These people are quite hard-working and have good personal strength. They generally perform well after entering Ren Baqian's institution by chance.

The last part is the useless people from the families led by Du Laoliu and others, who are dirty and completely become coolies.

The ancient clan's rule of martial arts is the supreme rule of the weak and powerful are shown here.

However, Ren Baqian felt that this division was not too bad, at least it was much better than that of being a commoner. Da Yao's atmosphere was still relatively simple.

After class, I went to the Ministry of Works to inquire.

As a result, after asking, I found that these students really couldn't afford it... It was not fake, it was real.

Although Dayao's Damamro Iron Ore has been mining smoothly in the past six months, which has caused Dayao's iron production to soar, the price has dropped much.

It’s really that Dayao has too much demand for iron.

Although there are a lot of iron ore output in Damoshan today, the first thing to do is to give priority to satisfying the army. During the war, the consumption of weapons has always been very fast.

And the weapons needed by the militia regiment are also a big deal.

After removing these two items, there are not so many parts that have fallen into the people.

After all, the mining of the solar furnace of Damoshan iron mine is only more than half a year, and the calculation is only one million kilograms of iron, and only about fifty thousand weapons are built. Although it is a hundred times faster than before, the time is still too short.

There are more weapons in the folk now than before, but they are mainly concentrated in the north, mainly re-smelting and creating the weapons left over from Daxia.

Therefore, the price of iron is still at a very high price, which is only a little lower than before.

It's okay to ask these students to make up for examples to buy two weapons, but there's no need to think about the others.

A pound of iron costs about four taels of silver. The steam engine has various structures, and the connecting rod and wheels cost at least a thousand kilograms of iron, that is, four thousand taels of silver.

A lower-level official's salary is only six taels of silver per month. Although most of these students are from good backgrounds, the wealth of the ancient tribe officials is not high, and the second is that most of these students are "waste people" who are not very popular in the family, and the money is not much. Therefore, they really can't afford the 4,000 taels of silver.

Seeing this, Ren Baqian returned to the palace and found the empress who specially transferred three thousand kilograms of iron for Zizhu Academy. He ordered the Ministry of Works to transfer several blacksmiths to go over and cut a yard in a corner of the Academy. Every day after school at noon, he knocked and beat the locomotives there again, and finally put the production of the locomotive on track.

In fact, as long as this thing solves the power problem and has a clear goal, it is not too difficult to complete. It is just that it can be used to study the appropriate architecture based on how much time it takes to create this locomotive with an extremely low conversion rate and an ugly and ecstasy locomotive.

Although Ren Baqian held the complete train drawings from the early 20th century in his hands, he did not intend to take them out. The gains gains obtained by letting the students make progress little by little are much more valuable than a train.

Ren Baqian has been watching their changes and waiting for the day when they transform.

Ren Baqian's life every day has become the two points and one line he has been looking forward to, the palace and the institution of learning.

In addition to class every day, he practices in the palace, and is often repaired by the little luoli. At other times, he is sitting in the palace in a daze, or walking around in the palace to see some subtle changes in the palace.

For example, street lights can be seen everywhere.

In the past few months after returning to Lancheng, Ren Baqian started his "Palace Lighting Plan" again. When he was fine, he brought some street light equipment and batteries back.

After a few months, there is now a street light in the palace every twenty meters, making the palace brightly lit all night, like a city that never sleeps.

The Empress was extremely happy about this change. When there was nothing to do, she would always sit on the roof of the bedroom and drink at night. The bright palace was within her eyes.

At the same time, such changes made the guards and maids in the palace feel a little uncomfortable. They no longer need torches or palace lanterns at night. It seemed that the palace suddenly became a city that never sleeps in a few months, and there was no dark place at all day and night.

Even in other places in Lancheng, you can see the particularly bright palace every night.

The biggest impact this has on them is that... I can't find a place to urinate anywhere... It's too bright...

After all, in a brightly lit place, in full view of everyone, it takes courage to urinate everywhere...

The ministers in the court were also surprised by the huge changes in the palace. At the earliest, they discovered the street lights in the palace. After all, there were pillars standing on both sides of the road, and it was impossible not to see them.

However, the number was still small at that time, and with the subsequent battle with Daxia and the place where Tianjing was pacified, Ren Baqian and His Majesty were not in the palace, leaving only them in Lancheng to secretly guess.

But no matter how you guess, there is one thing that everyone can be sure of, that is, this treasure that absorbs light during the day and releases at night must be of great value.

Unexpectedly, within a few months when His Majesty and Ren Baqian returned, the palace was covered with such treasures, leaving no blind spots in the palace. Although it was extremely beautiful, it also made many people even more shocked. How much money did so much and where did they get it from?

In addition, there was still fighting in the northeast and southeast direction outside, but such changes suddenly occurred in the palace, which caused a lot of criticism.

In fact, the changes are not only the same. The windows of many palaces in the palace have also been replaced with glass, but everyone knows that glass is made by the royal family. Although it is expensive, it has not caused much discussion.

On the contrary, these street lights are considered more precious than Night Pearl in the eyes of many people. After all, how big is the light of Night Pearl? How can they compare to these street lights in the palace?

This made many ministers discuss privately: Your Majesty has changed a little and has become too extravagant!
