Chapter 138: Such an output shocked Cao Cao!
When he returned to Lin Chuan, he began to write letters to Cao Cao, who was still in Xuchang.
In the letter, Cao Cao was informed of the fact that the hydraulic loom had been successfully manufactured, and by the way, he also mentioned the learning situation of Jiang Wei and Deng Ai.
Cao Jiezai also wrote a letter to his father Cao Cao, and then sent it to Xuchang along with Lin Chuan's letter.
Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
After receiving the letter from Lin Chuan and Cao Jie, Cao Cao was amazed by the efficiency of the hydraulic loom.
In the secret workshop outside Xuchang, Pu Yuan, who is responsible for manufacturing the water-powered loom, has not been personally guided by Lin Chuan at any time, so the water-powered loom in Xuchang has not been successfully manufactured.
Cao Cao also wanted to actually see the working situation of the hydraulic loom, which was an important strategic material for Cao Cao, who wanted to be the king, and he was still a little uneasy not to see Cao Cao with his own eyes.
And Cao Cao still misses his daughter Cao Jie a little.
So after Cao Cao handed over the government affairs to Xun Yu, he took Xu Chu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu to set off lightly and went to Hanzhong.
After Cao Cao and his entourage drove out of Xuchang, Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, who were riding together:
"Mr. Lin's cement straight road is really smooth, we have been out of the city for more than ten miles, and the carriage can't feel a little bumpy running on this cement straight road!"
"Yes, the carriage is indeed much smoother on this concrete straight, and even faster."
Cheng Yu, who was already old, nodded and said, and Jia Xu also nodded in agreement.
"Before the winter of this year, this cement straight road can connect all the important towns around Xuchang."
Cao Cao looked out of the car, and the people who were working in full swing said again.
Xu Chu was galloping on the cement straight road at this time, staying in the city without fighting, and Xu Chu was about to be suffocated, so he could only pass the time with liquor on weekdays.
After a few more days, Cao Cao and his party began to slow down because they got off the cement straight.
"Wenhe, this cement straight road, I will definitely repair it all over the country in the future!"
After experiencing the advantages of cement roads, Cao Cao is about to become the Three Kingdoms version of the infrastructure madman.
Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, who had been bumpy all the way, nodded in agreement.
It wasn't until Cao Cao and his party entered the Hanzhong range that the carriage finally drove on the cement straight again.
Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and Xu Chu came to Hanzhong for the first time after Lin Chuan sealed the Marquis of Hanzhong.
The same wide and solid cement straight road stretches out among the vast green farmland, and most of the people and merchants on the road are smiling when they look at it.
"The changes in Hanzhong County make me feel like I'm back in Xuchang!"
Cao Cao recalled the fields and the flow of people and horses that he saw when he arrived in Hanzhong, and said with emotion.
"Yes, it seems that Mr. Lin can not only provide all kinds of advanced creations, but also have unique features in local governance."
Cheng Yu was also surprised by the great changes in Hanzhong, and thought that Lin Chuan governed Hanzhong County quite well.
Jia Xu also said:
It is said that when the cement straight road in Hanzhong County is completed, all the people involved in the road construction will receive the cement and red bricks provided by Mr. Lin to repair their houses.
While Cao Cao and others were full of emotion about the methods of Lin Chuan and the great changes in Hanzhong, the group finally came to the outside of Hanzhong.
Lin Chuan and others, who had already learned that Cao Cao would come to Hanzhong City, had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time.
Xu Chu, who was riding a tall horse, was the first to come to Hanzhong City, and when he saw Lin Chuan, who was preparing to greet him at the city gate, he laughed and got off his horse and said:
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin won't get drunk tonight!"
When Lin Chuan heard Xu Chu's words, he also responded with a laugh:
"Good! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”
A moment later, Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu also came to the gate of the city and saw Lin Chuan, who was smiling and talking to Xu Chu.
Behind Lin Chuan were Cao Jie, Sima Yi, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei.
Cao Cao stepped forward and said to Lin Chuan with a smile:
"Mr. Lin, I'm very worried about it for a long time!"
Lin Chuan joked:
"I'm afraid that the prime minister decided to come to Hanzhong because he was worried about Miss Cao, right?"
Hearing Lin Chuan making fun of his Cao Jie in front of his father Cao Cao, he also stepped forward and said to Cao Cao at this time:
"Jie'er has seen my father!"
Sima Yi, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei also stepped forward and said:
"Yi, meet the Prime Minister!"
"Ai, Ai, Ai, meet the Prime Minister!"
"Wei, meet the Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao smiled and said to Cao Jie and the others that there was no need to be polite, so he came to Hanzhong City with Lin Chuan.
After everyone went to the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion to rest for a while, Cao Cao proposed to go and check the production of water-powered looms.
So Lin Chuan took Cao Cao and his party to the production base located outside the city.
After Cao Cao and others came to the production base, they heard Lin Chuan say that there were already eight hydraulic looms being produced by the river, so they couldn't wait to find out.
Lin Chuan called Chen Yuan, who was in charge of the entire production base, and went to the factory by the Hanshui together.
In order to protect the water-powered loom, Chen Yuan used manpower to build a wooden factory directly by the river, and put all eight water-powered looms in the factory.
When Cao Cao and others came to the factory, the first thing that caught their eyes was eight hydraulic looms that were weaving, and next to the looms were neatly stacked linen cloth.
"This water-powered loom is really magical, it can be driven by running water!"
Cao Cao, who finally saw the water-powered loom, was the first to exclaim.
"In this way, isn't this water-powered loom able to weave as long as the water is flowing endlessly? Wonderful, wonderful! ”
Jia Xu also exclaimed at the water-powered loom.
"Mr. Lin, I don't know how much this hydraulic loom weaves in one day?"
Cheng Yu was curious about the output of this hydraulic loom.
Lin Chuan smiled confidently after hearing Cheng Yu's inquiry, and asked Chen Yuan to answer on his behalf.
Cao Cao and Jia Xu on the side also pricked up their ears and waited for Chen Yuan's answer.
Chen Yuan first introduced himself, and then began to talk about the output of the loom:
"In Xia Chen Yuan, I have seen the Prime Minister and all the adults!"
"Each hydraulic loom can weave twelve horses a day! These eight looms now have a total of 96 horses of cloth per day! ”
When Cao Cao and the others heard this number, their eyes immediately widened in surprise!
A water-powered loom produces 12 horses a day!
Eight units can be started at the same time, and 96 horses of linen can be produced in one day!
Even the weavers of all the cloth mills in Hanzhong City combined, the cloth woven in one day is not as good as the output of a water-powered loom!
Cao Cao and the others, who were in shock, were still digesting what Chen Yuan said, and Lin Chuan next to him threw out another bombshell:
"Before the autumn harvest, there will be at least twenty water-powered looms in this factory!"
"Twenty water-powered looms will start at the same time, and the daily output of linen will be more than two hundred and forty horses!"
Cao Cao, who has not yet come to his senses, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, are so surprised that they can't be more surprised!
