Erdou stopped abruptly and said to Lai Yuanlong and Li Maosen. He came from a later life, and he knew the advantages of mechanical power over manual power, and had the opportunity to use and improve, so why not use it?

The matter was decided in this way, not only this achievement, Lai Yuanlong was in Shunxiang Fort these days, and even studied with Li Maosen how to use the hydraulic forging hammer armor to control, and there were certain research results.

Lai Yuanlong showed Wang Dou a strange machine, which also uses water power, what does Wang Dou think. It's also like a kind of water-powered rice machine I've seen. Yes, Lai Yuanlong's source of inspiration was the water-powered rice machine of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Speaking of which, the hydraulic rice machine appeared as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the principle is very simple, one end of the long water dimension is connected to the stone direction, one end is connected to a square water tank, and then the bamboo is used as a water pipe, the water is introduced into the water tank, when the water tank is full, the weight of the water makes the box sink down, and the water dimension at the other end is lifted high. When the water in the box is poured, the box is lighter and rises upward. On the other end, the water dimension will fall down, pounding the rice heavily. In this way, no manpower is required at all, which is very convenient.

Lai Yuanlong borrowed the idea of a water-powered rice machine, just to improve some parts, now the technology is not mature, and one day after perfecting, it is completely feasible to use it for the hammering of armor locks.

I've read these few introductions. Hydraulic machine, Wang Dou is quite excited, the scientific and technological power under his rule has finally accumulated a certain amount, in time, when one day the opportunity is ripe, will the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty be born from his own rule?

After leaving the Mirror Machinery Factory, Wang Dou also went to inspect the Shunxiangbao Gunpowder Factory, where Li Daji made clear the granular gunpowder and increased the power of the gunpowder. Increased the range of the fire system. But correspondingly. The pressure of the commander is also increasing, and the high-power gunpowder will make the originally strong commander re-produce the danger of exploding, so how can all parties improve and adapt. It is also a complex project. After the successful development of new gunpowder, Li Zhifen was testing the best combination of fire mirror and gunpowder.

And in April, Shunxiangbao opened a new pig farm, which was in charge of Qi Tianliang's wife Tao, with hundreds of large pigs and small pigs. Among them, there are more than 300 piglets and more than 200 sows, Wang Dou sees that many sows are pregnant, and it is expected that piglets will be born soon, until early next year. Wang Dou looked at Ji Xiaoniang, and saw that her family guards were far away, and said, "What do you say?" ”

Gao Shiyin said: "In March, Xiaguan was ordered to suppress bandits, and the little lady Xu in the fort found Xiaguan at that time. said that he wanted to join the army to fight, and the lower officer thought of her outstanding skills, so he agreed. ”

Wang Douqi said: "Little lady Xu?."

He thought about it, and then remembered that it was Xu Yue, and couldn't help frowning: "Nonsense." ”

He saw that Little Lady Ji pricked up her ears beside her, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "You go on." ”

Gao Shiyin's face was embarrassed, and he argued in a low voice: "At that time, Xia Guan thought that there was a lack of sergeants in the general school, Xu Xiaoniang's skills were outstanding, and she was your Ran Township. Thinking of this relationship, the lower official let her enlist in the army

He said quickly: "After the little lady led a few sworn sisters to join the army, she fought with the army to suppress bandits. The results were astonishing. ”

Gao Shiyin still feels incredible when he thinks about it now, he said: "That little lady has seven women. In total, more than 20 bandits were killed, and a lot of wealth was seized, and the sergeants in our general army admired them very much. ”

Wang Dou was also surprised, Gao Shi Yinyang explained in detail the spear and shield tactics of Xu Yue'e and others, Wang Dou pondered for a long time, and he said slowly: "Where are Xu Xiaoniang and the others now, you go and recruit them, and the official has to ask carefully." ”

Gao Shiyin said with a sad face: "It's gone." Since the day before yesterday, Xu Xiaoniangzi and others came to the teaching ground to perform, and the next official sent people to the orphan barracks to inquire, and the steward said that in the early morning of the day before yesterday, Xu Xiaoniang and the seven people all left the camp, and they did not return for several days, and they did not know where to go

The separated women who used to live in the orphan barracks have all married other men, and only Xu Yue'e and the other seven are unwilling to marry and still live in the orphan children's barracks. According to what Gao Shiyin said, after Xu Yue'e and others returned from suppressing the bandits, according to their military merits, they took a total of dozens of taels of silver, and when they heard that Xu Yue'e didn't take anything, they gave all the rewards to a few women. After returning to the fort, they have been quiet, and there is no unusual behavior, but they did not expect that the day before yesterday they were all gone.

There was a rumor that Xu Yue'e and other seven women were seen holding spears and shields, and they seemed to be carrying some simple packages, and they left Shunxiang Fort and went to where they went, but no one knew ().

Lin Daofu was listening, his face was ugly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, could it be that the little lady Xu has already deserted?" ”

Shunxiangbao military households go out of the city every day to farm and work, people come and go, some military households in the city do not see for a day or two, ordinary people are difficult to detect, the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty is that the military household sergeant is not seen for a month, and the Shangguan does not know where he goes, so he judges that the person has deserted. In Shunxiang Fort, this deadline is seven days, if Xu Yue'e and the others really leave Shunxiang Fort without permission and do not plan to come back, it will be the first case of desertion after Wang Dou governed Shunxiang Fort, which has never been done before.

This incident surprised Zuo, and Xu Yue'e and others are now Gao Shiyin's subordinates, if Xu Yue'e deserted and was investigated, Gao Shiyin would also be guilty. And Lin Daofu is the defensive officer of Shunxiang Fort, and he is also responsible for lax supervision. No wonder the two of them looked ugly.

Wang Dou was silent for a long time and said, "Xu Yue's matter." Let it be handed over to Lord Zhenfu Chi to dispose of.

Leaving the depressed Gao Shiyin and the others, Wang Dou returned to the state city, and when he was on the way, Wang Dou quietly thought about Xu Yue'e. Ji Xiaoniang rode over and whispered to Wang Dou: "Wang Dou, just now your subordinate said that several women named Xu Yue'e joined the army and killed a lot of enemies?" ”

Wang Dou didn't answer, and Ji Xiaoniang herself exclaimed: "It's really a towel, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see it."

Back in the state city, Wang Dou and Ji Xiaoniang separated. Wang Dou looked at Ji Xiaoniang, at this time the woman was unexpectedly demure, she looked at Wang Dou quietly for a while, and said softly: "Wang Dou, I am really happy today, don't worry, there are some things, I won't talk nonsense." ”
