The steam engine started moving.
Although it was just a model.
But this was definitely an epoch-making invention!
"Next, we should look for the emperor to ask for iron ore.”
Lin Zi Yun smiled.
Then, he ordered the servants to carry the steam engine onto the carriage.
As for himself, he sat in another carriage with a carriage.
He returned home.
It was easy to find Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ever since Lin Zi Yun asked Zhu Yuanzhang to spread the news, Xu Da and Lan Yu, who were both influential figures, had taken the initiative to seek out Lin Zi Yun for fortune-telling.
Lin Zi Yun was confident that he would meet such a noble again.
After that, Lin Zi Yun would be able to pass the news to Zhu Yuan Zhang through the commander of the army.
When the carriage arrived at the straw hut.
"Master, there's someone guarding the door." Barkley, who was driving, suddenly said.”
"Heh, tell the person to move aside and wait at the side.”
"Yes, sir!"
Barkley pulled the reins.
Then, he cupped his hands with a smile and said,""Esteemed guest, please make way and wait for a moment.”
Zhu Biao immediately retreated to the side with Chang Le.
Barkley got off the carriage, unlocked the door, and led the horse into the courtyard.
When Zhu Biao saw the carriage covered with a thick cloth and loaded with a steam engine, he was shocked.
His face immediately revealed a surprised expression.
He had never seen a steam engine before.
He only felt that it was very big.
It was surprisingly big!
And through the outline exposed on the thick cloth.
It also made him feel that this thing looked very strange.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
After Lin Zi Yun alighted from the carriage, he ordered a few servants to carry the model of the steam engine.
When the servants lifted the thick cloth, Zhu Biao saw the model of the steam engine made of alloy steel.
Zhu Biao was even more curious.
"Chang Le, what exactly is this? Was it a weapon? Why is it so big?"
Zhu Biao stood on his tiptoes and asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, this servant has never seen such a thing before. However, this thing seems to be completely made of steel. It must have cost a lot of money!”
During the Ming Dynasty, he was already able to forge steel.
However, to cast steel, a large amount of iron ore and skilled craftsmen were needed.
In the case of the iron mine government camp.
The price of iron ore was very high in the market.
In Chang Le's eyes, he had to build a model of this steam engine.
Lin Zi Yun must have spent a lot of money.
Chang Le didn't recognize him either.
Zhu Biao was even more curious.
After Lin Ziyun returned to the straw hut.
He made himself a cup of hot tea.
Then, he put down the curtains.
Then, he asked the servants to carry the stove out.
He then placed the steam engine in an empty space in the middle of the courtyard.
The water in the boiler was soon boiled.
"Clang!" "Clang!" Clang!
The model of the steam engine started up quickly.
Outside the straw hut.
Zhu Biao and Chang Le's eyes instantly widened.
"Chang Le, you, did you see that?! He moved, he moved, he actually moved!!!”
"I see it!"
"This servant saw it!"
Zhu Biao and Chang Le looked like they had seen a ghost.
It was a steel machine that moved by itself without the need for human strength.
In their eyes.
It was really unheard of!
"Esteemed guest, master invites you in."
At this moment, the door of the straw hut suddenly opened.
Barkley walked out and invited Zhu Biao and Chang Le into the straw hut.
"Oh."
Zhu Biao's eyes never left the steam engine model.
It was as if he had lost his soul.
When he arrived at the straw hut and saw the curtains, he finally regained his senses.
"Grandmaster!"
Zhu Biao rushed to the tent immediately.
"What is that big thing in the courtyard?" he asked anxiously. Was it really made of iron? How did it move, and so fast?!!”
At this time, the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty had been able to use wood to create some wooden instruments that could be moved by water.
However, wooden machinery could never be compared to steel machinery.
Moreover, because it relied too much on water power, these machines could not be popularized.
Lin Zi Yun was like a steel machine that could move by itself with a stove.
Zhu Biao felt as if he had seen alien technology.
He was extremely shocked.
When he saw Lin Zi Yun, he immediately asked!
"This thing is called a steam engine. It is a tool that uses steam to move.”
"It's a small invention of mine."
Lin Ziyun smiled.
He said indifferently.
The steam engine successfully attracted Zhu Biao's attention.
This was what Lin Zi Yun wanted to achieve.
"Oh!"
Naturally, Zhu Biao had seen water vapor before.
However, this steam actually had such great power that it could move steel machinery?!
This was clearly a divine method!
Such a strange object was actually just a small invention?
Zhu Biao was even more shocked.
He looked at Lin Zi Yun with respect.
"Master, may I ask, what is the use of this steam engine?”
Zhu Biao suddenly stood up.
He cupped his hands and bowed to Lin Ziyun.
The steam engine was too high-end for him.
In the thousands of years since the Great Ming Dynasty, there had never been a similar machine.
Zhu Biao really didn't know the purpose of this steam engine, but he vaguely felt that this steam engine was extraordinary and must be of great use.
So he asked.
"This steam engine can provide unlimited power.”
"As long as it is matched with well-designed machinery, it can greatly reduce the consumption of manpower and greatly increase the production of various items.”
"In turn, it will release productivity and increase production efficiency.”
Lin Ziyun paused and looked at Zhu Biao's confused expression. He knew that this guy didn't understand, so he coughed twice and continued,"Let me give you a simple example."
"Usually, a craftsman needs many steps to forge something.”
"Even if we need to forge tools in batches, we can only do it one by one. It requires years of continuous labor.”
" But now, with the steam engine, coupled with suitable machinery, it can replace craftsmen to complete many steps that require a lot of manpower.”
" And because the steam engine is unlike humans, it doesn't feel tired and can work non-stop. Therefore, it can help the craftsmen produce more tools in a day.”
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.
He finally understood.
The steam engine was like a steel slave who could work non-stop without complaint and did not know fatigue!!
If this steam engine was assigned to the Divine Arms Battalion…
The efficiency of the Divine Arms Battalion in making cannons and firearms would definitely be greatly increased!!
Not just weapons.
The tools used by the commoners.
It could also rely on its continuous production.
This was simply a national weapon!
Zhu Biao immediately thought of the impact of the steam engine on the entire Ming Dynasty.
He instantly understood the value of this steam engine!
"Master, can you give this steam engine to me, Da Ming?”
"No matter what conditions Grandmaster wants, my Great Ming will use all of our national strength to satisfy them!!”
Zhu Biao said emotionally.
Hearing this, Lin Zi Yun laughed.
This guy took the bait.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He then said,"Esteemed guest, please don't be anxious. The steam engine outside is just a model."”
"A real steam engine is much bigger than this model.”
"And I've already built a factory to place this steam engine.”
"It's just that we lack iron ore."
"If the imperial court is willing to provide the iron ore and some raw materials, we can split the profits of the production of the steam engine fifty-fifty. How about that?”
The iron mine of Ming Dynasty was run by the government.
Moreover, once the steam engine was started, although it would create a huge output, it would also consume a large amount of raw materials.
And the things they made could be better sold to the entire Great Ming Dynasty through the Imperial Court.
Therefore, Lin Zi Yun decided to take a loss and give half of the profits to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Biao hesitated.
Iron ore was highly valued by any dynasty.
Zhu Biao couldn't make the decision to invest iron ore into the steam engine.
"All the weapons produced in the factory can be supplied to the army for free.”
Lin Ziyun said calmly.
They had originally used the raw materials of the imperial court.
The Imperial Court would never pay for weapons forged for the army.
If there was no profit, there would be no problem with half.
Lin Zi Yun said.
He still looked at Zhu Biao with hesitation.
He just wanted to add fuel to the fire.
"Master, this matter is of great importance. Let me go back and discuss it with my father!”
"Yes."
Lin Zi Yun knew that it was best to let Zhu Yuan Zhang discuss this with him.
He was not in a hurry.
He nodded and agreed.
"Grandmaster, there's one more thing. I saw that chicken coop in the fields today.”
"I didn't expect to raise more than 2000 chickens!”
"Master, please teach me the method of raising chickens in a box!!”
Zhu Biao stood up once again and cupped his hands.
Zhu Biao understood that the steam engine was almost certain!
There were still many iron mines in Da Ming.
There was equipment that could quickly allow Great Ming to increase its military reserves and upgrade the tools in the hands of the people.
Moreover, he only needed to pay for some raw materials such as iron ore.
This was a guaranteed profit.
It was a business that benefited the country and the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely support it with both hands and feet!
However, Zhu Biao really couldn't make the decision.
That was why he did not dare to casually agree.
But about the chicken coop.
Zhu Biao still had the ability to ask.
"Ten thousand taels."
Lin Ziyun said calmly.
Zhu Biao immediately took out a banknote.
"The chicken raising box is actually very simple. I can give one to you.”
"However, you must pay attention to hygiene when raising chickens in boxes. It's best to sprinkle more quicklime around the boxes, and add some small gravel to the food for the chickens.”
Chickens ate gravel because they needed gravel to grind food in their stomachs before digesting it.
Lin Zi Yun carefully wrote down the key to raising chickens in a box on a piece of paper and handed it to Zhu Biao.
The chicken coop was built there.
It was impossible to keep it a secret.
If one tried to figure it out, they would be able to figure out the trick. Lin Zi Yun had already earned ten thousand taels of silver.
Zhu Biao carefully put away the paper.
Lin Zi Yun then asked,"Esteemed guest, are you here today to ask for something?"”
Zhu Biao was the Crown Prince.
The reward for changing his fate was huge.
Naturally, Lin Ziyun would not let go of this opportunity.
"Master, I'm not here to read fortunes, but to apologize.”
"The day before yesterday, my aunt Lan Yu offended Grandmaster. Today, I have brought a small gift. I hope Grandmaster can forgive me!”
Zhu Biao stood up with a serious expression and bowed to Lin Ziyun.
"It's fine…Is there really nothing else, esteemed guest?”
"No more!"
"Master, I'll leave the gift here. Zhu Biao will take his leave first!”
Zhu Biao was very anxious.
He wanted to immediately pass the news of the discovery of the steam engine to Zhu Yuanzhang.
She left in a hurry.
Lin Ziyun was speechless.
"If I had known earlier, I would have let this guy read his fortune first and then showed him the steam engine.”
Lin Zi Yun sighed in his heart.
However, the system notification suddenly sounded in his ears.
[The host gave Zhu Biao the construction method of the chicken coop and showed him the steam engine. He successfully changed the fate of tens of millions of people in Ming Dynasty.]
