644 Windmills

"Lord Jing, Lord Wang. ”

Xu Wen called out the other party's honorific title and bowed.

He was not surprised, when he heard Yue Yunluo say that there was such an inspector, he had already guessed who the other party was.

First of all, this person must be from the Inner Pavilion, and then have a high status and sufficient judgment, and even be able to help Xu Wen at a critical time and help him mobilize some resources.

There are not many candidates for such an identity, and Xu Wen can only think of it, and Jing Nanhai is undoubtedly the most suitable one among them.

Jing Nanhai's face was expressionless as always, and there was a person beside him, Xu Wen recognized the other party as Wang Yiding.

The appearance of this person surprised Xu Wen even more. Not to mention anything else, Wang Yiding is from Jingying Mansion, although he is a relatively alternative one in Jingying Mansion, but it is also a different department, how can he appear here?

"Just call me Xiao Wang!" Jing Nanhai, who has a higher status, has not yet spoken, Wang Yiding opened the door first, he looked at Xu Wen with great interest, and said loudly, "I am here to worship you as a teacher! I have been pondering for a long time after I went back to this new city you designed, and I also asked to go to the sand table to look at it for a few days, and the more I look at it, the more wonderful it is! It is really wonderful, I can't think of it, and then I begged the emperor to ask him to send me over, I am here to worship you as a teacher!"

He repeated it aloud twice, very resolutely.

Xu Wen was a little confused and glanced at Jing Nanhai.

Jing Nanhai remained silent and said slowly: "This is indeed the case." The emperor was fond of Lord Wang, agreed to his request, and transferred him to the inner cabinet with special exceptions. Now Lord Wang is also a member of our Inner Pavilion. ”

Xu Wen was a little surprised.

It's also quite interesting to say, Xu Wen first heard about Wang Yiding because he built the ink art hall, and the process of building the palace is quite special, he drew a set of drawings as a small worker, and won the favor of the emperor who passed by, thus overthrowing the mature design of Yan Ji and other ink masters, and turned to use him.

Now I heard that the emperor asked him to leave Beijing because of his request, and he also transferred to the department...... This feels really strange, Wang Yiding is like the illegitimate son of the emperor born in the people.

But of course it can't be, the status of craftsmen has indeed improved in recent years, but it is also limited, far less than that of scholars, and it is impossible for the illegitimate son of the emperor to become a craftsman alone.

Xu Wen had dealt with Wang Yiding when he was running for the chief office, and he could only say that if there was no special reason, the emperor's preferences were really a bit strange......

This thought was just a flash, but it was also because of his distraction, Xu Wen didn't notice that Jing Nanhai was staring at him, as if he wanted to tell him something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.

"Now the people and supplies have begun to be mobilized and are moving to this side. This is the first batch of manpower and material resources that have been prepared before, and there is still a need for it in the future, so it can be planned as soon as possible to facilitate planning and mobilization. ”

As soon as Jing Nanhai came over, he habitually turned against the guest and confessed to Xu Wen, but after only saying one word, his voice paused slightly.

He found that although the masters next to him nodded, their smiles were polite and very perfunctory.

He swept his gaze slightly, and said as usual, "I have ordered someone to put the relevant matters into the paperwork, and I will let you bring it to you later." ”

Xu Wen didn't pay attention to these details, and thanked him: "It's hard work." ”

"It's a matter of duty. Jing Nanhai was about to stop talking, and suddenly remembered one more thing, "The cement kiln has been built according to the drawings delivered by Mr. Ni, and ten of them have been built first, and they are in trial operation. ”

Saying that, Jing Nanhai was about to walk away, when a master suddenly stopped him and asked with blazing eyes, "Cement kiln?"

"Yes, a new type of Sanhe clay ......" Jing Nanhai was about to introduce it, when the master waved his hand and said loudly, "Of course I know what it is, Master Xu has already told us! I mean, it has been built and can burn lime?"

"The firing and mixing are carried out in one piece, and the results will be available in four hours, and you will be able to get the results in about two hours. Jing Nanhai said truthfully.

He looked around, and all the masters were staring at him!

Speaking of this, they are not sleepy, this new type of triple soil called cement, is also one of the reasons why they came here.

They know exactly what this revolutionary material represents......

"Can you go and have a look?!" Liu Wange was the first to ask.

When he asked, everyone else nodded. They looked as if they were asking Jing Nanhai, but their eyes were all directed towards Xu.

Jing Nanhai's gaze swept around and did not speak.

"Of course, I also want to see the progress, let's go together. Xu Wen replied quickly.

He was going to make this thing public to the world, and he didn't intend to hide it at all.

The masters glanced at each other, stroked their beards and laughed: "Go, go together!"

They said loudly.

The site of the cement kiln was chosen and built by the river outside the city, and a group of people walked past.

Walking out of a distance, Jing Nanhai approached Xu Wen, and was about to say something, Wang Yiding squeezed over, took out a large stack of paper, stuffed it into Xu Wen's hand, and said with great interest: "Master, look, this is my inspiration during this time, you give advice!"

Jing Nanhai was squeezed away by him, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't come close to speak.

"Don't call me Master, I can......'t afford it," Xu Wen said as he unfolded the crumpled tightness that was a little wrinkled, and after a glance, he was attracted in.

It was a drawing, and it was a fan-like object, which at first glance looked a bit like an electric fan without a hood. However, Wang Yiding drew a villain next to him, and expressed the size of this "electric fan" in the proportion of the two.

It is obvious that this is a windmill, a windmill that attracts the winds of nature!

"I call it a windmill!" Wang Yiding said very excitedly, "There is a thing in my hometown, called a waterwheel, which is built in a small river, and when the water flows through, the waterwheel will turn, and it can attract things like stone mills to make them move all the time, and it can be used as a donkey and mule for cows and horses." I was here that day, and it was very windy around me, and I suddenly remembered this! Water can trigger waterwheels, can the wind also trigger windmills? With such windmills, can you pull those traps that you make faster and stronger?"

Wang Yiding was full of anger, his voice was very loud, he waved his hand vigorously, and said confidently, "Then I designed this, I believe it can be used, it will be very useful!"

When the masters heard Wang Yiding's words, they came over to take a look, and unconsciously squeezed Jing Nanhai away.

Xu Wen was completely attracted by Wang Yiding's drawings, and looked at them one after another, all of them were whimsical ideas like this, some of them could be seen at a glance, and some of them could not be seen, but they could also be clearly seen to be interesting.

So they walked and watched while Xu Wen, while Wang Yiding was gesturing beside Xu Wen to explain what it was and what his inspiration was, and some of the other masters were listening and some were discussing.

Seeing this situation, Jing Nanhai frowned slightly, exhaled lightly, and walked away again, preparing to tell Xu Wen about that matter later.

And at this time, on the other side of the world, Qiuqiu meowed, burrowed out of the grass, and looked up with golden eyes.

"Qiuqiu?" a man looked down and called out its name in confusion.
