Zhuge Liang looked at Chu Hao, whose face was solemn, and let out a rare wry smile, and said, "Until now, the ministers know the power of the Five Turbidity Tribulations. ”

"The scorching sun, thunderstorms, torrential rains, heavy snowfall, cold winter, these six tribulations manifested by the three calamities, the cycle of day and night has been a month, almost cutting off the vitality of all things!"

"Many of the clothes worn by the people every day are linen made of linen, and the wild flax around Jinling has all died."

"Linen can not only weave cloth, but also grind mixed grains to eat, cure diseases, and can be mixed with silk to weave hemp yarn."

"And now, the flax and silkworms are gone."

Just as Zhuge Liang was saying this, Lin Junwang, who was guarding the door, suddenly saw two figures of Mohu stumbling towards here from a distance.

He subconsciously pulled out his waist knife an inch and narrowed his eyes.

After a while, the two figures came to the wooden house.

By the candlelight in the room, Lin Junwang noticed that the two looked familiar, so he asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

Both men looked to be in their forties, and their faces were covered in dirt and black, as if they were both dust and soot.

After they heard Lin Junwang's voice, they scrambled to say: "Master Jun, I am a craftsman in the glazed kiln (greenhouse), and I have a big event to ask to see Lord Shangshu!" ”

Lin Junwang glanced at them and was just about to speak, when Zhuge Liang had already come to the door.

After glancing at the two people, he pointed at the craftsman in the glazed kiln with a feather fan and said, "What happened to the glazed kiln?" ”

The man said with excitement on his face: "Lord Shangshu, the glaze firing has been successful!" ”

He gestured with his hands and said, "It's about this big, it's flat, it looks very smooth, and it's colorless!" ”

Zhuge Liang's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he hurriedly walked down the steps and asked, "What you said is true?!" ”

The craftsman said excitedly: "The villain doesn't dare to deceive the adult, if the adult doesn't believe it, please move to the kiln and take a look!" ”

"Alright, alright, I'll go."

As soon as Zhuge Liang spoke, another craftsman next to him also hurriedly said: "Adult, adult, villain also has something to report!" ”

Zhuge Liang looked sideways at him and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The man said with a smile on his face: "Just now, the villain suddenly discovered that the water jade can be divided with oil, mutton fat and chicken fat can be used, and the water jade can be completely cut with a wooden stick dipped in oil!" ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "Really?" ”

The man took out a palm-sized piece of water jade from his arms, took out a wooden knife stained with oil, and said, "My lord, please take a look." ”

With that, he slashed the wooden knife diagonally across the palm-sized water jade.

I saw that at the position where the wooden knife was crossed, the water jade was naturally divided, and the incision was smooth and smooth.

Zhuge Liang took the cut water jade and wooden knife from his hand and tried it himself.

The results of the test made his face happy.

"Sure enough!"

Then he looked at the man and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man bowed down excitedly and said, "The villain's name is Zhang Er." ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his head when he heard this, and commanded sideways: "Jun Wang, write down his name and address." Then he said to him, "You have done a great service, and in a few days the Japanese officials will reward you." ”

Then I had to go to the glazed kiln with the craftsman of the glazed kiln.

But before he could leave, he suddenly saw an auxiliary army running from a distance, and before the others could get close, the voice had already been heard.

"Lord Shangshu, the Nine Princesses of the East China Sea have captured thousands of grain ships of the Great Zhou, and it is estimated that there are tens of millions of catties of grain on them!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he hurriedly greeted him, and said hurriedly: "What did you say?" Tens of millions of pounds of grain? ”

The man nodded breathlessly and said, "Also, there are millions of catties of flax and dozens of boxes of flax seeds, and there are more than a thousand silkworms." ”

"It's just that the Ninth Princess sent a villain to ask the adults if they need to detain these thousands of grain ships, after all, this is the Great Zhou ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang's face sank, and he scolded: "What Da Zhou, this official doesn't understand what you're talking about, this is clearly a grain ship of Daqian!" ”

The man hurriedly smiled.

"Yes, yes, it's a small mistake, this is a big dry grain ship."

Zhuge Liang nodded slowly and ordered: "Inform people, go and move all the things on the ship, and you can't let go of even a grain of grain!" ”

"Yes!"

When the man had received the command, he turned and ran the way he had come.

After Zhuge Liang saw him leave, he hurriedly ordered Lin Junwang to drive the Sinan car and take the craftsman of the glazed kiln to the glazed kiln.

When Chu Hao came out of the wooden house, Zhuge Liang's figure was no longer visible.

He was about to leave when he saw another auxiliary running from a distance.

"My lord, my lord, there is a collapse in the ground outside the city, and the brothers have found iron ...... in the pit"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chu Hao.

He hadn't seen Chu Hao, and he saw the nine dragons lying on their stomachs not far from the wooden house, so he stopped his footsteps stiffly, and after respectfully clenching his fists, he asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is Lord Shangshu in the house?" ”

After Chu Hao glanced at him, he said, "He went to the glazed kiln." ”

"Thank you."

After the auxiliary army nodded, he hurriedly ran to the location of the glazed kiln.

After watching his back leave, Chu Hao couldn't help laughing.

It's only been a dozen minutes, and most of the problems Zhuge Liang said have been solved, and now only the matter of salt remains.

But since iron ore has been discovered, and iron pots are forged from iron ore, the matter of boiling salt in seawater is equivalent to being solved.

Thinking of this, he returned to the agarwood.

Ao Rui turned the huge dragon head and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?" ”

Chu Hao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Lu Miaozi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to have a look." ”

"Yes."

After Ao Rui turned his head, he and Longzi pulled up the agarwood chariot and took off into the air, driving high in the air.

After a short time, the agarwood chariot stopped in front of a courtyard.

When the four guards in front of the door saw the agarwood, they all bowed down and said, "Meet the emperor." ”

Chu Hao nodded and walked through them and came to the courtyard.

Then I saw that the courtyard was full of messy things, and Lu Miaozi herself was standing next to a huge strange 'machine', frowning and watching.

Chu Hao walked up to him, took a look at this huge 'machine', and found that it was a large Dan furnace, and the Dan furnace had many wooden shelves and wooden wheels on it.

At this time, with the steam power on the Dan furnace, these wooden wheels were slowly turning.

He looked at it for a while and didn't understand what this thing was for, so he asked, "Lu Miaozi, where is this thing going to be used for?" ”

Lu Miaozi only reacted after hearing his voice, and when he turned around and saw that Chu Hao had come to his mansion, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize.

After Chu Hao waved his hand, he repeated this question again.

Lu Miaozi immediately explained.

"Your Majesty, in Wei Chen's expectation, these wooden wheels will rotate rapidly under the power of water vapor, but now I don't know why, the rotation speed of these wheels is very slow, and the rotation can be interrupted with a little stretch of hand."

Chu Hao glanced at the wheels that seemed to have been unloaded directly from the carriage, and said, "Have you ever thought about using a rope or the tendons of a demon beast to put the two wheels together." ”

Lu Miaozi frowned, a little unintelligible.

Seeing this, Chu Hao said, "You go find a rope." ”

Lu Miaozi went back to the house when she heard the words and found a few hemp ropes.

After Chu Hao took the hemp rope, he asked him to turn off the fire, and when the water vapor disappeared and the wooden wheel stopped rotating, Chu Hao put the hemp rope on the position of the wooden wheel bearing and connected the two bearings.

When Lu Miaozi saw this, he also stepped forward to help.

In a short time, the two of them put ropes on all the wooden wheel bearings.

When Lu Miaozi lit the flame in the Dan furnace again, and the water in the cauldron above boiled, the wooden wheels were slowly rotated by the wooden frame, and the speed became faster and faster.

After seeing this scene, Lu Miaozi was overjoyed, and then began to wander around the Dan furnace, wanting to know what kind of principle this was.

Chu Hao continued: "I suggest that you chisel out some dents where the hemp rope is covered, otherwise, as the rotation speed of the wooden wheel increases, these ropes will eventually break away. Moreover, the hemp rope is not strong, and it will break when it is turned. ”

Lu Miaozi nodded heavily, kept these words in his heart, and immediately took action.

Chu Hao continued: "In addition, since the cauldron and the lid are forged together, it is better to forge some iron pipes next to it and compress the vapor in the pipes, so that the power will become concentrated." ”

After hearing this, Lu Miaozi suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of this truth. ”

After Chu Hao saw his surprised look, he said, "In this way, I will draw a picture for you, and you can try to create it according to the picture." ”

Lu Miaozi nodded again and again after hearing this, and then invited Chu Hao into the room.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang, who was riding in Sinan's car, suddenly reacted.

"Hiss~ I don't seem to have said goodbye to the emperor before."
