Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"I understand." Zhu Yunhuan nodded and waved his hand casually.

In addition to papermaking and newspaper printing, the most important business of the Industrial Department is naturally to build water-powered spinning machines.

Now someone is sent to invite him.

It can only be the water-powered spinning machine.

The young eunuch who came to deliver the report understood and immediately stepped back, shouting outside at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, please go to the Industrial Department!"

Zhu Yunhuan squatted down, took a last close look at the sweet potato vines he had pulled up with his own hands, then stood up and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

He was surrounded by the Longxiong Guard and Huxiong Guard, who were affiliated with the Jinyiwei and were responsible for the safety of Emperor Zhu Yunhuan and relied on him.

Zhu Yunhuan's dragon chariot stopped at the gate of the Industry Bureau.

Zhu Yunhuan dismissed his attendants and then went straight into the Industry Department.

Things were done in secrecy, and sometimes even the responsible parties were not qualified to know his intentions and thoughts. Even though the Longxiong Guard and Huxiong Guard had been reshuffled by Zhu Yunhuan, Zhu Yunhuan would never be careless about what he should be on guard against.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Wang Yingxin, who was in charge of the seal of the Industry Department, was now considered an official. He had changed from his coarse linen clothes to an official robe and was waiting at the Industry Department early in the morning.

Then he went straight to the innermost part of the Industrial Department to meet Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Yunhuan saw at a glance five machines that were two or three times the size of ordinary spinning machines. They were composed of a frame, spindles, yarn guide rods and yarn frames, and were all connected to a large water wheel.

As the large water wheel is driven by water power, it rotates.

The five large spinning machines were rotating, making a "creaking" sound that was neither loud nor soft. Although they were idling, it was obvious that the entire machine could operate normally by driving the wheels with water power.

Zhu Yunhuan was delighted and ordered, "Let's try it."

In an era when imperial power was above all else, the people in the Industry Department naturally had to wait for Zhu Yunhuan's order before they dared to start using these machines.

Zhu Yunhuan finished speaking.

Wang Yingxin, who was present, and the many craftsmen in charge of this matter all showed excitement on their faces... and at the same time, they couldn't help but secretly cast grateful glances towards Zhu Yunhuan.

There is no doubt that this is a great invention, created by their ancestor Wang Zhen and his craftsmen. It is a pity that no one has paid attention to it in the past few decades and it cannot be promoted. It would be a lie to say that this group of people who have passed down the family tradition of farming and studying do not feel regretful.

Even they had never thought about it.

Decades later, the current emperor actually makes use of their lineage, allowing them to freely create their ancestors' inventions.

Others may not know, but they know how valuable these planes are!

How can I not be excited? How can I not be grateful?

soon.

All five spinning machines were connected to the raw material for spinning - cotton.

As the water wheel was driven by the water flow, the stopped spinning machine was also driven to start running synchronously.

The same as the drawing in Wang Zhen's Book of Agriculture.

There were five spinning machines, each equipped with thirty-two spindles. As the sound of "creaking" was heard in the air, a total of one hundred and sixty spindles were operating individually, forming one hundred and sixty silk threads at the same time. The silk threads were wound around the silk tube, and the ball of thread gradually became larger.

No one spoke.

But his expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement.

"it is good!"

Waited for a while.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled with satisfaction and said "OK".

As he spoke, the machines were paused, and Wang Yingxin and all the craftsmen present knelt down waiting for instructions.

"It seems you haven't lost your ancestors' craftsmanship," Zhu Yunhuan praised. This not only meant that he truly possessed a high-efficiency spinning machine powered by water...

It also shows that what Wang Yingxin said before is true, and that this group of craftsmen all possess high-level mechanical manufacturing skills!
