"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the little girl Ding Jie."

Ding Wei laughed. He was displaced in his early years and was arrested in the army to serve one after another. However, he never thought that his wife would actually raise her children.

Zhu Cijiong looked carefully and saw that this woman was quite tall, which was probably about 1.65 meters tall to the size of later generations.

Although this height was only considered a woman of the upper class in later generations, she was why she was tall in this era.

Even Zhang Yan, who is already outstanding, came to her, probably to her eyebrows.

Seeing that what His Majesty said was exactly the same as his father, Ding Jie gradually became bolder. She looked Zhu Cijiong up and down, covering her mouth and chuckled:

"Your Majesty is also an ordinary person!"

Zhang Da raised his eyebrows and was about to scold him, but he didn't know that Zhu Cijiong actually laughed.

"You little girl is quite interesting. Let me tell you, where is I the same as ordinary people? How come I am different from ordinary people?"

Ding Wei had heard his daughter's bold words and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could scold his daughter, he heard His Majesty actually followed his daughter's words and asked.

He looked up slightly, looked at Zhu Cijiong, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and looked at his daughter again.

Although his daughter is very beautiful, Ding Wei believes that she can't be considered one in a million, or even one in a thousand is a barely enough.

My daughter is too tall, which is the biggest flaw.

When this child was a child, he was in the turmoil of the country and was changing teeth, but he didn't care about taking care of him. This made Ding Jie's upper front teeth a little untidy.

Ding Wei knew that if his daughter went to the talent show, the first thing he had is wrong will be defeated.

This time, he was transferred to Qifeng Mountain as the chief of the Fangzheng. Because it was too far from Nanyang, His Majesty specially gave him a favor and allowed the craftsmen who came here to work to bring their families.

Just now, Ding Jie was very interested in a hydraulic oil press that had been debugged. She was holding a small stick in her hand and kept poking the rolled oil cakes.

But his Majesty's guard came to inform him to take the lead.

But I never thought that Ding Jie would come with me too.

At this time, looking at Your Majesty's attitude, it seems to be very expected!

...

Hearing Zhu Cijiong's words, Ding Jie chuckled and pointed at the hem of his clothes: "Your Majesty's clothes are the same as those of the soldiers, and they are covered with mud. Doesn't this mean that Your Majesty is the same as ordinary people?"

Zhu Cijiong looked down and saw that it was not the case. The mud from the horse's hooves stuck to the hem of his clothes, pants, and boots.

"What's different from ordinary people?"

Zhu Cijiong hasn't talked to others like this for a long time.

Because of the original owner's identity, even Zhang Yan had never spoken to him so easily.

After more than two years, when I saw someone seeing him, I could talk to him so equally, Zhu Cijiong felt like a different life.

"Does Your Majesty think I'm stupid?"

Ding Jie tilted her head.

...

Zhu Cijiong chuckled.

This girl was not so beautiful, at most she was just a top-notch gift.

But she has a different flavor on her body.

Perhaps it was because Ding Wei caused the orphans and widows to suffer in his early years, so he loved her very much.

This made Ding Jie lively and developed a straightforward personality.

Ding Wei is a scholar. He heard that he was still a scholar who was about to pass the exam for scholars. If he had not avoided Zhang Xianzhong's military disaster and was captured by Zuo Liangyu, his family would have become a squire.

Under Ding Wei's guidance, Ding Jie also reads and reads, and even has dabbled in classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and books.

Zhu Cijiong laughed, but did not answer Ding Jie's words, and walked straight forward with everyone.

"Your Majesty, you haven't answered me yet!" Ding Jie stamped her feet.

The answer to him was Zhu Cijiong's chuckling...

...

On the Qifeng Mountain Waterfall, the peak begins at halfway up, and nearly a hundred water trucks have been built to the large pool at the foot of the mountain.

Each waterwheel drives an iron shaft to rotate, and the end of the iron shaft is connected to huge houses.

A squeaking sound came from the house.

"His Majesty!"

Ding Wei pointed to the huge waterwheel on the mountainside: "The twenty waterwheels in the front are owned by cotton spinning."

Zhu Cijiong nodded. This was the drawing he handed over to Zhang Siyuan.

The spindles of Jenny spinning machine have been added to texturing one hundred spun cotton yarns at the same time.

However, this also brings a disadvantage - whether it is human or animal power, it is very labor-consuming to run so many spindles at the same time.

It just so happened that the firearm workshop needed to use a hydraulic forging press, so Zhu Cijiong took out the drawings of the hydraulic textile machine.

"How is the experiment? Can it be used?"

In fact, the Chinese people's use of hydraulic machinery has long been comprehensive.

For example, Du Mu’s water drainage, Pi Zu Chongzhi’s water mill, water mill used to pound rice, and even the agricultural books contain real pictures of hydraulic spinning machines!

...

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a "water transportation gazebo platform".

It absorbed the advantages of the automatic time-reporting device improved by astronomer Zhang Sixun in the early Northern Song Dynasty; in terms of mechanical structure, it adopted the mechanical principles such as water trucks, barrel trucks, orange steers, cams and balance scale rods used by the people, and concentrated the observation, demonstration and time-reporting equipment to form a whole and become an automated observatory.

...

After every technological peak in China, it will be interrupted by aliens.

The longer Zhu Cijiong came to this era, the more he didn't understand what a certain department in the future was doing?

In the vast China, how can you jump over the clown’s noise?

...

He decided to gather water power to operate most of the machines here in Qifeng Mountain.

This is not because he has any habits, but because Qifeng Mountain is actually an excellent place for a hydraulic workshop.

Ding Wei smiled and saw that his nose was not visible to him: "Your Majesty just worry, not only the hydraulic spinning machine, but also the loom can be put into use. Even the oil pressing and forging have been tested repeatedly, which is completely feasible!"

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and accompanied by everyone, he looked at the hydraulic workshops one by one.

Sure enough, as Ding Wei said, these hydraulic machinery is indeed not difficult. At this time, most workshops have already started to operate.

“How many waterwheels can be arranged in this generation?”

Zhu Cijiong looked at the mostly empty river channel and asked.

Ding Wei pointed to the long river channel: "Your Majesty, the locals call it Qixingtan. It is said that the section that lasts more than thirty miles long has a significant gap."

"We forged and ground here, and we must put it under the waterfall. In addition, most of the rivers can be placed in small machinery such as oil pressing, textile, and pounding rice."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and he stopped at the station: "You have completed every place suitable for building water trucks!"

"But your Majesty, we can't use so much!" Ding Wei was very surprised.

Before coming, he specifically asked Zhang Siyuan and got the data that Zhang Siyuan needed.

There are only more than 30 waterwheels on the cotton spinning side!

Zhu Cijiong's eyes narrowed.

Nanyang cotton cloth is now sold well in Henan and Hubei provinces. Even 60% of the cotton cloth on the market are produced in Nanyang.

but!

This is not enough!

The output of cotton cloth should continue to expand!

As for sales...

With his improved cotton spinning machine, he has reached the peak of his craftsmanship. Now that he has made up for the shortcomings of power, it is almost the same as the "foreign cloth" in history.

Zhu Cijiong knew how powerful foreign cloth was in history.

His goal is to turn "foreign cloth" into "yang cloth"!

He believed that Zheng would not be able to contact him for a long time. At that time, the Zheng family's ships could not be smuggled, right?

...

On the other side of the waterfall, what the water conservancy machinery is grinding is not food, nor iron, but stone...

A large bluestone that can be seen everywhere in Nanyang - limestone.

After grinding this thing with clay, put it in a furnace and incinerate it, grinding the remaining slag from the iron smelting and stirring it, and what you get is a powder called "soil cement".
To be continued...
