The one who came to report the news was the dog who was waiting outside Xu's mansion. I think that people from the village can't enter the inner house, so the dog is the internal official. Zhu Su confessed to Xu Da and Xie Shi, and left the table to go outside the pavilion.

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Yao sent someone to report that there was a civil unrest in the Zhuangzi cement kiln, and someone took advantage of the night to set it on fire." The dog said to Zhu Su.

"Civil unrest?" Zhu Su was a little stunned. Since figuring out the doorway and successfully developing cement, Zhu Su handed over the cement kiln to the Ministry of Industry to take over. It's been a long time since I've asked about the situation over there.

Could it be that the Ministry of Industry pushed too much and forced the craftsmen to reverse?

"Is the chaos spreading? Is it okay elsewhere? ”

"It's fine. It was quickly pacified, and when Li Qianhu led the troops to arrive, the fire on the kiln had already been extinguished. There were not many casualties either. Just ......"

Zhu Su was a little strange, since there were no casualties, Yao Guangxiao hurriedly sent someone to find out what to do. If there is no diffusion, that is the business of the Ministry of Works. The affairs of the Ministry of Industry can be handled by the Ministry of Industry itself, and it has nothing to do with us.

"It's just that Mr. Yao specially asked us to relay that the loom in the small workshop next to the cement kiln is gone." The dog continued.

In fact, he was a little puzzled, it was just a loom, and what was there to emphasize.

But I didn't want to, when I heard the word loom, my Fifth Highness was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned white.

"Loom?"

"The loom is gone?"

The loom in the dog's mouth is the Jenny machine that Zhu Su drummed out. After studying the existing looms of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Su succeeded in making the first Jenny machine with eight spindles after several failures.

Successfully increased the efficiency of spinning by a factor of eight. If you keep adding spindles, you can even increase more.

The workshop for improving the loom happened to be near the cement kiln, and together with the cement kiln, it was placed under the charge of a Lang official of the Ministry of Works. Many people scoffed at Zhu Su's insistence on fiddling with such a loom. No one could have imagined what huge energy was hidden behind this small loom and what kind of waves it would set off in human history.

Except for Yao Guangxiao!

Thinking about it, through what Zhu Su said to him before about "sheep eating people", Yao Guangxiao guessed that the so-called grassland sketch was on this inconspicuous loom.

Therefore, after discovering that the loom was missing, he hurriedly sent someone to report Zhu Su.

"Uncle Xu, aunt. There was a bit of chaos in Zhuangzi, and I was afraid that I would lose company. ”

Zhu Su turned back into the pavilion and confessed to Xu Da and Xie. "Another day, when I have leisure, I will come to make amends to my uncle and aunt."

"You kid, what do you say about making amends or not?" Xie Shi said.

Xu Da saw that Zhu Su's face was wrong, and he also asked solemnly: "Does it matter?" ”

"It's not a big deal, Li Qianhu has put the chaos down."

"It's just something I care about, and I want to go back and check it out."

Zhu Su replied. Xu Da nodded. "Li Rong is a fierce general, with him in charge, I don't think there will be any big chaos."

"Since Your Highness has something to care about, go yourself. I'll have to come here for a while. ”

Zhu Su nodded, made another gesture and got up and left. The hurried pace made the Xu family in the pavilion look sideways. Xie Shi couldn't help but wonder when he saw Zhu Su leaving: "Didn't you say that it was already flat?" Why are the Fifth Highnesses still in such a hurry? ”

Xu Da twisted his short beard thoughtfully, and suddenly turned his head and asked Xu Yungong: "Yungong, you have been by His Highness's side for a long time, do you know that there is something in this Zhuangzi that will make His Highness nervous to this point?" ”

Xu Yungong paused slightly, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Your Highness doesn't care about everything on weekdays. Only the matter of Gewu, quite concerned. ”

"Could it be that the rioters destroyed the cement kiln and glass kiln in Zhuangzi. Or a place like a firearms test workshop......"

"There are only a few fire kiln workshops, and they are destroyed and rebuilt. It's just some tricks. ”

"If you go in such a hurry, if you bump into one or two more sins on the road, the son of a daughter will not be able to sit down......," Xie Shi realized that he began to worry about Zhu Su's safety.

"What my mother said is not right." The one who refuted Xie was actually Xu Miaoyun.

"The knowledge of the Five Highnesses is mostly practical learning."

"Those things he made may be able to turn stones into gold, defeat the enemy, or benefit the country and the people. How can it be summed up in four words: miraculous skills and obscenity? ”

"There may even be more advanced uses...... It's just that we don't know. ”

She looked at the direction Zhu Su left and gently pinched the corner of the embroidered Luo skirt.

……

"How did the cement kiln suddenly mess up?" Disgusted that the carriage was too slow, Zhu Su simply abandoned the carriage and rode the horse, and galloped out of the city to Huangzhuang. Dozens of armor soldiers were divided into two teams to escort the left and right, holding torches to illuminate the official road, but they were not afraid that they would not be able to ride at night. While galloping, Zhu Su asked a young sergeant beside him. The young sergeant's name was Di Meng, who was instructed by Yao Guangxiao to inform the person who had lost the loom, and he was also one of the more than 20 trained soldiers. On that day, one of the two teams of mandarin ducks was aligned with Zhu Su, and the other team was aligned with Di Meng.

"Lord Wang." Di Meng was also riding a horse, no matter how fast or slow Zhu Su was, he was always half a position behind Zhu Su's right side, thinking that Zhu Su was guarding his side. "No one knows the specifics, but the official Mei Lang of the cement kiln is putting out the fire and won't let me get close to the cement kiln easily."

"The loom was lost, and one of our brothers had sharp eyes, and the darkness saw the mess in the workshop......"

"Hmm......" Zhu Su thought as he bit his lower lip. Mei Ying, who is in charge of the cement kiln, is an official of the Ministry of Works, and it is normal for Li Rong of Qianhu to be unable to suppress it. I haven't been in charge of the cement kiln for several months, and the most likely reason is that this Mei Ying exploited too much, which caused the resentment of the craftsman to burn the coal kiln. But what did they do with the loom?

"Dogs!" Zhu Su shouted, and the dog on Zhu Su's left hurriedly greeted him. "You should take the first step, first go to see the glass kiln, steel kiln, firearms workshop, and any craftsmen are lost."

"In addition, go to a few inns in the market and ask, that Korean man named Wang Jae-hyun still stays in the market!"

The dog was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand how his prince thought of the head of the Goryeo surnamed Wang.

But he didn't ask any more questions, and after answering, he took the torch and went away on his horse.

"It's not really this cosmic country stick, come and steal things." Zhu Su gritted his teeth. Originally, he was only wary of the Korean man named Wang Jae-hyun stealing his own science and technology, but he never thought that the other party would extend his hand to those industries in Zhuangzi.

However, in addition to glass and cement, other things have not yet shown their edge, and a Korean person should not know the actual value and function of looms and other things.

Moreover, the cement kiln has always adhered to the production principle of "assembly line" before, even if they take advantage of the chaos to catch a few cement craftsmen, they cannot know the exact formula. As long as the loom is recovered, nothing is a big deal...... After comforting himself like this, Zhu Su continued to fight his horse and found that his Su Wangzhuang was close in front of him.
