Zhu Shun, who was far away in Wang Gong's factory, didn't know what kind of shock his behavior had brought to Chongzhen, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care about it.

At this time, he was busy buying materials to build a water-powered Jenny spinning machine, and when he was tired, he took out the original plank, wrote and drew on it, and designed another thing.

A very simple precision machine tool, not long after the first industrial revolution in Europe, someone invented a precision machine tool for making flintlock pistols.

The steam engine is more complicated and easy to explode, Zhu Shun doesn't have the spare money to study the steam engine now, so he can only start with the most basic things step by step.

Little by little, the Ming Dynasty was changed.

Now with the hydro-powered machine, it is possible to make a simple machine for drilling holes with only a few modifications.

There are two ways to make Daming's arquebus, one is a three-stage joint, the other is a double-layer composite type, no matter which one it is, the most critical step is the final trimming of the gun chamber.

Fortunately, the arquebuses of the Ming Dynasty and the more advanced flintlock pistols in Europe are both smoothbore guns, and they only need to use a drill bit to smooth the breech.

This last step is the most time-consuming, although Daming already has a drilling machine, but it is very simple.

This is a kind of drilling machine that uses wood as a frame, a circular stone disc as an inertia wheel, a cowhide strip tied to pull it by manpower, and an inertial drill chamber with the help of a circular stone disc.

It often takes a month to drill the chamber of an arquebus.

This also caused the production of arquebuses manufactured by Wang Gong Factory to be low, because this process wants to increase the output, it requires a large number of skilled craftsmen and drilling machine equipment, which is obviously unrealistic for the Ming Dynasty, which can run mice in the granary.

This simple hydraulic drilling machine designed by Zhu Shun can drill out a gun chamber in one day, which is a full 30 times higher.

There are about 500 craftsmen in the Wang Gong factory now, and as long as Zhu Shun builds this kind of hydraulic drilling machine, the output of more than 100 arquebuses in the Wang Gong factory can be increased to 3,000 in an instant.

In one year, the number of arquebuses increased from more than 1,200 to 36,000.

That's the power of the Industrial Revolution.

Beginning of summer, miscanthus seed, summer solstice.

Zhu Shun worked hard for another month, and when it was the summer solstice, he finally built the hydraulic Jenny spinning machine, and the mechanical design of the hydraulic drilling machine was finalized.

Zhu Shun occupied a craftsman's workshop by himself, and standing in the craftsman's workshop, he looked at the water-powered Jenny loom in front of him, and felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Now that the machine is available, it is only necessary to get the plant and workers done, and the first modern spinning mill in Daming can be opened.

Zhu Shun took an iron chain, locked the door of the workshop, and walked out of Wang Gong's factory on the dirt road.

As soon as Zhu Shun left, a group of casters walked out of the rows of tiled houses in the back, lying at the door to probe their brains to see what was inside.

The door had been locked, and the craftsmen's room was surrounded by wooden planks, and they had been lying on their stomachs for a long time, but it was pitch black and they could not see anything, and the group of casters could only disperse in a huff.

"Old Sun, what do you say Zhu Tou is doing during this time?"

"Don't take a bite and a head, Zhu Shun is not a craftsman now, he is now the leader of our Wang Gong factory."

"Hey, this kid doesn't know what luck he has taken, but he has let the emperor look at him, and it seems that he will have to stammer him in the future."

Not long after dark, Zhu Shun walked back to the house, he was too tired to say hello to his father and mother these days, and went back to his house to sleep.

At noon the next day, Zhu Zhongren squatted in the courtyard with a bowl of porridge, drank it with relish, and asked casually: "Son, why did you come back after a year or a festival?" ”

Zhu Shun also served a bowl of porridge, but there was an extra dough cake in his hand, tore off half of it and soaked it in his father's bowl, took a bite of the other half and said, "I'll come back after three days off on the summer solstice." ”

"Three days?" Zhu Zhongren smiled and gave the dough cake to his son again: "Being an official is comfortable, and you have so many days off." ”

It is indeed comfortable, there are still seven days off on the winter solstice, Zhu Shun silently added in his heart, quickly took a few sips and drank the porridge, put the bread in his hand in his father's bowl, put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out: "Dad, I'll go out." ”

Zhu Zhongren just wanted to give the bread to the child again, but when he saw him go out, he muttered a word about the child, and ate it deliciously.

Zhu Shun went home this time to find a better factory, because this hydraulic Jenny loom needs to rely on the flow of the river, so it needs to be selected on a suitable river bank.

There was nothing to do in the field these days, Zhu Shun called a few younger brothers who were idle at home and had nothing to do, and a few tall brothers each held a stick and followed the eldest brother out.

Walking out of the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, I happened to meet the eldest son, who used to see Zhu Shun and wanted to have his nostrils facing the sky, but now he just said hello and left with a group of people.

Zhu Shun didn't have the spare time to ignore him, walked across the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, and walked west with a few younger brothers.

I don't know how long I walked, but I heard the sound of 'whooshing' flowing water, and rows of weeping willows appeared in front of me, swaying with the breeze.

Walking closer, Zhu Shun saw a vast river, sparkling, about a hundred meters wide: "This should be the Yongding River." ”

Zhu Shun clearly remembered that there was a big river near the capital that flowed through Mongolia, Shanxi, and Hebei provinces, the Yongding River, which was about 700 kilometers long, and was also called the Little Yellow River.

The key point is that because the Yongding River is close to the high platform of the Taihang Mountains, in a relatively short distance, the water flow drop drops from 450 meters to 100 meters, the drop is very large, and the water flow is relatively turbulent.

Zhu Shun looked to the north, but he couldn't see the edge at all, only saw groups of fish and birds flying around on the wide surface of the Yongding River.

However, this section of the river bank at the foot of Zhu Shun is not suitable for being a factory, so he took a few younger brothers along the Yongding River for two days in the past two days.

In the vicinity of Shijingshan in the west of the capital, find a section of the riverbank suitable for making a factory.

Several younger brothers were tired of following him for two days, and on the third day, Zhu Shun asked them to go back, and he went to the county Hebosu alone.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that the benefits of the lake and fishing ponds were beneficial to the tax revenue, so he set up the river fish tax of the Hebo Institute to manage the rivers of various states and counties.

If you want to find someone in the yamen to do things, no matter what the yamen is, you have to be introduced by an acquaintance, and there happens to be a dam official from Hebo in Huang Village.

said that the official was actually a small official, Zhu Shun put on a black gauze hat and wore a green quail complement official uniform, and went to the public office of the Hebo Institute.
