The most arrogant in history

Chapter 719: Roman Master.

Jiang Yourong also said: "The area of ​​the Crown Prince's Mansion is indeed not large. It is also inconvenient for Feng'er and the Crown Princess to live. It would be better if another courtyard was added."

Ye Kun took two steps and suddenly smiled:

"Next to Nanhai Park, the original royal library, which covered an area of ​​more than seven acres, has now been relocated. Let's renovate it and use it as the new prince's residence.

After Feng'er moved away, the original Prince's Mansion was renamed to house other adult princes."

Jiang Youbao accepted the order: "I'll do it tomorrow."

Ye Kun continued, "Sang Buyi suggested to me that the population of Zhuo County has increased and the government affairs are complicated. Many officials' courtyard houses are no longer big enough to live in, so they hope to be allowed to renovate and build buildings.

The preliminary plan has been drawn up, and everyone can build according to the plan. The original Guozhang Mansion and Guojiu Mansion can be merged and rebuilt into a building. Guojiuye, you can also add a new building to your house. "

When Zhuo County was first established, the early official residences were all small courtyard houses.

Now that the population has increased, there is indeed not enough housing.

With the material foundation in place, building three-story buildings can improve everyone's living conditions and make them more hygienic.

Xue Sangu had heard the news a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have seen the blueprints of the model house. It is said that the newly built official residences all have flush toilets and running water, right?"

"That's right. The Imperial City and the Inner City are all supplied with running water. The toilets are all flush toilets, and the bathroom floors are paved with tiles." Ye Kun smiled evilly:

"After it's built, I guarantee my uncle and his wife will be satisfied and go to the bathroom eighteen times a day."

Aunt Xue blushed and said, "I might as well just live in the bathroom."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "For this construction, the initial one hundred official residences are all designed and craftsmen arranged by the court. Everyone is not allowed to mess around and disrupt the plan. Otherwise, the groundwater will be polluted and everyone will have diarrhea in the future."

Ye Kun paid close attention to urban construction.

The construction of each house must be approved. No random actions or expansions are allowed.

The officials in Zhuo County had some opinions, but they did not dare to speak out.

However, everyone was very interested in the tap water project mentioned by Ye Kun.

The tap water project was designed and constructed by the Department of Architecture of Zhuojun University. Starting from the large reservoir in the north of Zhuojun, it used underground canals and twelve copper pipes as thick as bowls to bring water into the inner city, and then distributed it to various places using small copper pipes.

There are no water meters in the whole city, and tap water is free for everyone.

Control the upstream water source to ensure cleanliness and hygiene, and make it drinkable after boiling.

However, there are countless wells in Zhuo County, and everyone still uses underground well water for drinking.

Ye Kun also has a plan to supply water to the outer cities, but it has not been implemented yet.

Even the copper pipes used to lay the tap water in the inner city consumed hundreds of thousands of kilograms of bronze and brass.

A water tower had been built inside the palace a long time ago, and tap water was available for use in washing hands, vegetables, and clothes.

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Weiwei asked me the day before yesterday, Father invented running water, but is there running fire?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "We have tap water, too. In the Mianzhu area of ​​Yizhou, near Qionglai Mountain, natural gas from Qionglai Mountain has been introduced into the city, making cooking with natural gas a reality.

We have built seven natural gas bases in the Qionglai Mountain area, and transported gas to Yizhou through copper pipelines. Many people and units have now used clean energy.

We also have coking plants and gas storage tanks that can be used for cooking or other purposes.”

Coal gas is produced from coal. When coal is developed, gas is produced.

However, Ye Kun was unable to produce liquefied gas, and the utilization rate of coal gas was low, so a lot of it was wasted.

The gas tanks in the coal yard are not the high-pressure tanks of later generations. They can only store gas, not liquefied gas.

In order to use this gas, a soft leather bag is added to the tank.

While using gas, pressure is applied to the bladder to ensure that the tank pressure is higher than the atmosphere, causing the gas to spray out.

This method of utilization is very inefficient, but Ye Kun has no other choice but to popularize the use of gas through this method.

The Science and Technology City has also launched a project to study liquefied gas, cooling and pressurizing it to liquefy coal gas.

But before they succeeded, an accident occurred, causing an explosion and killing three researchers.

Jiang Yourong nodded and said, "Yes, a biogas tank can be considered as a kind of water heater, but Weiwei has never seen one."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "That's easy. Madam, please find some time. I will accompany you and Weiwei to the Science and Technology City to broaden your horizons. There is everything there."

After seeing off Jiang Youbao and others, Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong returned to Fengyi Palace.

Ye Kun also favored Weiwei and brought her a cleaning oil lighter.

The lighter was invented by Pang Jia. It was about the same size as the fuel lighters of later generations. It was made of silver-plated brass and was very valuable.

Weiwei tried the lighter and said with a smile, "Father, so you really have a lighter?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Weiwei, do you know the principle of automatic fire?"

Weiwei looked at the lighter again and again and shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then do you want to know?"

"Father, I want to know."

"Then tomorrow, let your mother take you and we'll go to the Science and Technology City to play. The uncles and aunts there will tell you how the tap came about."

"Thank you, father!" Weiwei was very happy and jumped for joy.

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Since we are going to the Science and Technology City, let the little princes and princesses go and have some fun. It will be boring for everyone to stay in the palace."

There is a primary school in the palace, with teachers hired from outside.

The princes and princesses would go to middle schools outside when they were eleven or twelve years old.

Jiang Yourong said that everyone was feeling bored, which was true.

The next morning, Ye Kun took everyone to the Science and Technology City to visit the Science and Technology Museum.

The tour guide of the Science and Technology Museum will introduce it to you.

Ye Kun watched from the side and thought that Weiwei was very smart and interested in technology.

"My queen, how is Weiwei's homework?" Ye Kun asked Jiang Yourong.

"Weiwei is good at all subjects and writes seriously. The teacher likes her very much."

"Let the teacher explain some math, physics and chemistry to her in advance to see if she can understand." Ye Kun suddenly had an idea and said with a smile:

"If Weiwei likes learning and technology, it would be a good choice for her to be in charge of the technology city when she grows up."

It is most reassuring to have high technology in the hands of your own family.

Ye Kun has always wanted to train a few scientists among the princes and princesses.

But so far, there seem to be no children who are eager to learn and willing to study.

There are some children who are good at math, physics and chemistry, but they are still fools among the top students in university.

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "It's great to be in charge of the Science and Technology City, but it's a bit tiring. Look at Tiantian, she's busy as a top."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "As long as you are interested, you will feel happy no matter how busy or tired you are. If you have no interest, then busy work will be a kind of pain."

"Tiantian is right. Interest is the best teacher."

Ye Kun nodded: "When you go to universities for exchanges in the future, you must cultivate students with interests. Cultivating students according to their interests will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

He Tiantian suddenly laughed and said:

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is a Roman mathematician at the University of Nations who wants to discuss mathematics with you. I guess you are very busy, so I asked him to go find Master Jinfeng. My father said that Master Jinfeng is very knowledgeable in mathematics now, far more than I am."
