Chapter 1,600 Ghostwriting

By the time the potatoes roll out of the cage, they will be clean.

Then, under the action of gravity, the potatoes roll into the crushing trough and are cut into pieces by the rotating blades. They are then pushed into the vertical mill along the feeding trough and ground into pulp.

The slurry has now become a mixture of starch and skin residue. Under the work of the cyclone slag separator, the pulp slag is automatically filtered and separated through the centrifugal action of the cyclone. A discharge port spits out the slag that can become livestock feed.

material, snow-white starch slurry flows out from the other outlet.

The refined starch slurry flows into the vacuum dewatering machine. When the drum of the dehydrating machine rotates, a pressure difference is formed between the inside and outside of the drum due to the vacuum effect, which causes the starch sludge to be adsorbed on the filter cloth and fall off from the filter cloth through the scraper device.

, sent to the next drum through a spiral, and finally the water powder is separated and turned into starch filter cake.

Of course, this step can be omitted, but then a sedimentation tank will have to be built, which will take a long time.

The rest is drying. The remaining steam of the steam engine transfers heat to the heat conducting plate through the heat conducting pipe, and uses the double screw rod to create a low pressure in the drying chamber to suck out the water vapor to quickly dry the starch.

This trick is actually the method used to select concentrate powder in major mineral deposits in the Song Dynasty. After Dasu saw the starch factory equipment drawings sent from the Capital University, he crossed out the sedimentation tank and added a material selector at the back.

A slurry separator is added in the middle.

This is an eye-opener for young and old men in Hangzhou. On one side, the potato eggs are pushed into the feed opening, and on the other side they turn into snow-white fine powder.

According to the Master, next year everyone can plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava, and then use those things to exchange for rice, and those things will be made into flour, so the storage time will be longer. If they are sent to the north, they can be deducted from Hangzhou

Taxation is equivalent to turning something that cannot be used as royal food into royal food!

The smarter ones are making up their minds, and some are already whispering.

Lao Li, the situation in Hangzhou this year is indeed very difficult, but next year, if you inform your relatives in the countryside to increase the amount of grain from Dongshengzhou, and exchange the grain from the government warehouse and put it in your own home, don't you think it will be so beautiful just thinking about it?

!

This can't be done, Lao Zhang, please don't come up with random ideas. Our Liangzhe Road is the land of plenty and the granary of the Song Dynasty. How can the government allow us to do this? Where does the imperial court's food come from after doing this?

Ouch, Old Li, you are so stupid! This year’s typhoon has made grain ships from the South China Sea unable to pass. The grain prices are so good. What do you think the grain prices will be like next year? Will there be a shortage of grain among the officials? If you don’t take the opportunity to make money, you will have to wait for money to fall from the sky.

Na?

Huh? It’s not unreasonable to say that. This kind of sweet potato is not cost-effective, so it has to be cassava!

Think about it, one acre of land costs 3,000 kilograms, which is 600 kilograms based on 20% of the flour yield. If you exchange it for half-price grain, you have to... It's so good that we won't be able to take advantage of the imperial court's advantage next year, but even if

It's cheap, it's worth six shi of food...

That's right, you, Lao Li, are still very thoughtful! And the cassava stuff needs to be floured after the winter solstice. It will be shipped here at that time. It just happens to be when the machine is idle. If you don't compete with the sweet potato and wheat for this time, you have

of!

Hey hey hey... Master, it is good to govern Hangzhou... This idea of ​​exchanging rice noodles for food was accepted by the Empress Dowager. You tell me how shameful this is, and everyone in Hangzhou will take advantage of it!

No matter what little calculations they have in mind, people in Hangzhou are very happy when they see the flour coming out of the outlet. Hangzhou has turned around its unlucky growth this year!

…

In the Polytechnic Institute, Su Xiaomei is giving lessons to the descendants of the clan, and Zhao Xu and Colander are also studying next to them.

Just listen to Su Xiaomei say: "The difference between water and land transportation can actually be clearly reflected through transportation efficiency calculations. By land, a horse can carry up to two hundred kilograms of cargo, and can travel sixty miles a day."

"Instead of a water transport steam fleet, it can pull fifteen cantons at a time. Each canal can carry 300 materials of goods and can travel two hundred miles in a day."

"Then you can calculate, the efficiency of a water steam fleet is equivalent to the efficiency of how many horses?"

This is a slightly complicated calculation question, which also involves the conversion of measurement units.

Everyone immersed themselves in the calculation, and soon someone figured it out, but they didn't dare to raise their hands.

Su Xiaomei smiled at a little girl and said, "Xianhe has already figured it out?"

The younger sister was Princess Xianhe. She stood up and said, "I must have made a mistake in my calculation. The mountain leader can ask other sisters and brothers to tell me."

Su Xiaomei comforted her: "It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. Xianhe, please speak boldly."

The little girl looked at her notebook: "Seven...seven thousand five hundred horses."

Immediately, someone raised their hands: "I am also a seven thousand five hundred horse!" "So am I, the mountain chief!"

The younger sister smiled and said: "Xianhe's answer is correct, should we applaud her?"

There was gentle applause in the classroom, and the little girl flushed with excitement. She bowed to Miss Su before sitting down.

Zhao Xu wrote a few words on the paper and pushed it to the colander at the same table.

With a pen and stone paper, it is very convenient to pass notes.

When Colander looked at the note, there was a sentence written on it: "Shilang Liu should come and listen to this lesson."

Zhao Xu has been in a very good mood recently, because the little golden bell next to the imperial throne has played an unexpected role for him.

The Hebei Fourth Road Revitalization Plan handed over by Jiangsu Province is a generous project. It focuses on the establishment of mining and metallurgy to boost industry; the promotion of high-yielding crops in Dongshengzhou is the main focus on boosting agriculture; the construction of Cishan to Daming and Baozhou to

The two cross-rails between Bianjing and Beijing were the main means of boosting commerce and the military; the main focus of education was to build middle schools, promote universal literacy in the military and mines, popularize science and engineering, and get rid of superstition.

During this period, the two aspects of officialdom and finance were deliberately ignored, because Su You was worried that alerting the enemy would have an impact on the major counterfeit banknote case that was being investigated.

This matter also aroused heated discussions in the DPRK and China. The three provinces basically agreed with Suyou's big plan, but there were disputes over railway transportation and copper material turnover.

First of all, there is the railway. Liu Zhi and Lu Dafang are still a little afraid of the Liao. They believe that the north-south railway cannot be built. Otherwise, once the Liao people break through Baozhou and go down the railway, they will be unstoppable and get a sure grain reserve along the way. Handan

How terrifying will the steel and the cattle and horses of Xiangzhou be when they arrive at Bianjing City?

Zhang Dun laughed angrily. Since he knew this was the case, shouldn't he build this railway to strengthen transportation capacity and fight the Liao people while they were still outside Baozhou City?

When Baozhou can gather Zhending's grain reserves in a short time, Handan's steel, daimyo's weapons, and Xiangzhou's cattle and horses, they will be so majestic, how can they keep thinking about being beaten?

One mile of railway requires fifteen tons of steel, one thousand miles from Baoding to Kaifeng, and one hundred and fifty miles from Cizhou to Daming. For these two railways, the cost of the rails alone will be as high as seven million.

Although the route chosen by Suyou is very delicate, except for the section from Cishan to Cixian, which is slightly mountainous, the rest is plain, but the overall cost of the project is still about 12 million yuan.

Another thing is copper. It is only four hundred miles from Taiyuan to Zhending, but Su You wants to make Taiyuan copper travel a thousand miles south to Kaifeng, and then deduct the copper premium paid that year, and the remaining difference will be taken from the Japanese copper in Haizhou Xingang.

If the money was deducted from the money and sent to the daimyo, the circle would be quite complicated, and it would also add a lot of trouble to the court.

Just when Zhang Dun was about to argue, a "dang" sound suddenly sounded in the hall, and the ministers were shocked.

Zhao Xu's poker face paired with a small hammer and golden bell were simply stunning. Without even having to say anything, he made the officials feel what it means to "not be angry but to be powerful".

I heard Zhao Xu slowly put down the gavel: "Situ once said that you don't need to speak loudly to be reasonable. Everyone will talk about the pros and cons. Once the words are exhausted, the truth will come out."

Then he nodded to Zhang Dun: "Zhang Qing, please continue."

After that court meeting, Zhang Dun sighed to Lu Dafang: "This is my true lord."

However, Zhao Xu was in a good mood, which was not necessarily the same as Colander, so he wrote two words on the note and pushed it over - "Don't make trouble."

After a while, the note came over again - "Still depressed?"

The note passed again - "I just don't understand how my dad noticed it."

Colander has now begun to learn to compose poems. Su You's political poems are one of the best in the Song Dynasty. His son inherited his father's legacy, so Su You assigned Colander an assignment of using poetry to comment on ancient and modern figures, and turned it in regularly.

Colander was obsessed with making gliders some time ago and didn't practice much, resulting in a decline in the quality of his poems.

The last time I sent a poem to a famous person, Su You read it and wrote back, saying that the poems about Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai, Li Si, and Liu Bang were all good, but the best one was about Xiang Yu. But there was only one problem, which one was written by a ghost.

Can't count.

That song was indeed ghostwritten. Laoshuo’s little junior sister felt sorry for her senior brother and helped him write a song, but Laoshuo couldn’t figure out how his father could tell the difference.

In fact, Su You laughed angrily when he received the letter. The brat included a song in it: "Live as a hero, die as a ghost."
