The carriage drove fast on the concrete straight, and soon came to the outside of Hanzhong City.

After arriving at the water-powered loom factory, Sima Yi took Wang Zhi all the way into the factory.

Today, there are twelve hydraulic looms working in the factory.

When Wang Zhi saw the water-powered loom, he immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.

The craftsman on the side saw that Wang Zhi's whole person was about to stick to the water-powered loom, so he reminded loudly:

"Your Excellency, please don't get too close to the loom and beware of your robe getting caught in the machine!"

Different from the clothes worn by the craftsmen, Wang Zhi, who was dressed in a long robe, retreated a little when he heard this.

Wang Zhi thanked the craftsman who reminded him:

"Thanks for the reminder! I am the king of the Hanzhong Wang family, I don't know the surname of this master? ”

Zhao Xing, a craftsman who was suddenly treated so politely by a scholar, couldn't help but be a little nervous and said:

"In Xia Zhaoxing, I have seen Wang Gongzi!"

Wang Zhi nodded at the craftsman Zhao Xing, and continued to observe the hydraulic loom in front of him.

Seeing that the machine was really driven by water, Wang Zhi excitedly said to Sima Yi on the side:

"Lord Sima, I didn't expect that this water-powered loom really doesn't need manpower, and it can weave around the clock just by running water!"

Sima Yi saw that Wang Zhi had been deeply attracted by the hydraulic loom in front of him, so he nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, if Ziyuan still has doubts in his heart, he can ask Master Zhao."

So Wang Zhi observed the operation of the hydraulic loom and asked the craftsman Zhao Xingdao:

"Master Zhao, I don't know how much this hydraulic loom is produced every day?"

"Lord Wang, a water-powered loom can weave twelve pieces of cloth per day!"

"Really?!"

Wang Zhi heard that the answer of the craftsman Zhao Xing was not different from Sima Yi, and he already believed ninety percent in his heart, but he was still subconsciously surprised.

"Lord Wang, you can see when you come here."

Craftsman Zhao Xing took Wang Zhi to the back of the hydraulic loom, and Wang Zhi watched the gradually woven linen cloth extending out of the loom, and he was already completely convinced.

The excited Wang Zhi asked the craftsman Zhao Xing again:

"Master Zhao, I don't know how long it will take to produce this hydraulic loom?"

Craftsman Zhao Xing heard Wang Zhi's inquiry, and his face couldn't help but bring a look of pride and admiration:

"I want to teach Lord Wang that under the guidance of Immortal Master Hou Lin of Hanzhong, this hydraulic loom can now be built in seven days!"

"Seven days to build such a complex hydraulic loom?!"

Wang Zhi was shocked by the words of the craftsman Zhao Xing.

"Yes, now this hydraulic loom can be built in seven days, which is why Lord Hanzhong wants to unify and integrate the cloth shops in Hanzhong County."

Sima Yi affirmed what the craftsman Wang Xing said, and explained why Lin Chuan was so confident in integrating the cloth of the entire Hanzhong County.

"Lord Hanzhong Hou is so whimsical, and there are so many skilled craftsmen under him, I really admire Lord Hanzhong Hou in my heart!"

At this time, Wang Zhi had completely believed what Sima Yi had said in his mansion before, and said excitedly.

Sima Yi saw that Wang Zhi had no doubts in his heart, so he said to Wang Zhi:

"Ziyuan can visit here more, I have other scholars who need to visit, so I won't stay here for a long time."

"There is Master Lao Sima, and there are still some questions in my heart that need to be solved by Master Zhao, so I forgive you for not being able to send them far."

So Sima Yi left the factory directly, returned to Hanzhong City by car, and continued to visit other scholars in the county.

Wang Zhi, who stayed behind, pulled the craftsman Zhao Xing and kept asking about everything about the hydraulic loom.

"Master Zhao, I don't know how the linen woven by this hydraulic loom is better than the linen spun by a single spindle spinning wheel?"

Wang Zhi was more concerned about the quality of the linen woven by the hydraulic loom, so he asked the craftsman Zhao Xing.

After the craftsman Zhao Xing heard Wang Zhi's inquiry, he directly took Wang Zhi to the warehouse where the linen cloth was temporarily stored.

In order to facilitate the storage of cloth produced at night, a new temporary warehouse was built next to the factory, after all, the river is still relatively humid, and linen cannot be stored in the riverside warehouse for a long time.

Wang Zhi looked at the neatly stacked linen cloth on the wooden shelves in the warehouse, and asked the craftsman Zhao Xingdao again:

"Master Zhao, how long has the linen cloth in this warehouse been produced?"

"Lord Wang, all the linen cloth in this warehouse was produced last night!"

Wang Zhi, who hadn't had time to take the linen cloth into his hand to observe the quality, was shocked again by the words of the craftsman Zhao Xing:

"There are at least fifty horses of linen cloth in this warehouse, and it is only produced by a water-powered loom overnight?!"

Craftsman Zhao Xing explained to Wang Zhi:

"Lord Wang, there are now 12 water-powered looms in the factory, which can produce 72 horses of linen cloth in one night."

Wang Zhi was shocked and recalled the output of his own cloth mill.

There are three cloth workshops in the Wang family in Hanzhong City, and one in each of the eight counties in the rest of the county, a total of 11 cloth workshops.

The combined output of these eleven cloth mills is only ten horses a day!

The output of these twelve water-powered looms in one night is as high as the output of Wang Zhi's eleven cloth mills in seven days!

Wang Zhi, who finally came back to his senses, then picked up the linen woven by the hydraulic loom on the shelf in front of him.

Wang Zhi felt that the linen cloth in his hand was tighter and thicker than that woven by a single spindle spinning wheel, and then recalled the output of the water-powered loom, and his heart couldn't help but be afraid for a while in addition to excitement.

If the Marquis of Hanzhong doesn't share this hydraulic loom, I, the scholars who are engaged in the cloth business, I am afraid that the cloth shops under our name will close down one after another!" ’

'This water-powered loom weaves cloth quickly and well, and the whole world's cloth industry, I am afraid that those who will get water-powered looms will live in the future, and those who lose water-powered looms will die! ’

Wang Zhi, who figured out the joints in his heart, no longer respected Hou Linchuan in Hanzhong, but rose to worship.

"Master Zhao, I wonder if the maintenance of this hydraulic loom is convenient?"

Wang Zhi had already made up his mind, and he bought this water-powered loom, so he began to care about the use of water-powered looms.

"Please rest assured, we use the 'assembly line production' method proposed by Hanzhong Hou, and all parts of each hydraulic loom have a unified manufacturing standard, and which part is broken can be replaced directly!"

"And the replacement of parts is also more convenient, except for the core parts of the whole hydraulic loom are made of steel, the rest are wood."

Wang Zhi, who learned that the use and maintenance of the hydraulic loom were very convenient, finally completely relieved.

After thanking the craftsman Wang Xing and saying goodbye, Wang Zhi rode on the horse left by Sima Yi and galloped all the way back to the cloth workshop in the city.

"Master Hou Lin Immortal Master of Hanzhong, this hydraulic loom is really a fairy method, and my Wang has taken it!"

When Wang Zhi returned to the city, he could order someone to summon all the Wang cloth shop treasurers in Hanzhong County to come to Hanzhong City to prepare for the upcoming era of water-powered looms.
