Several craftsmen in charge of casting the object are holding drawings to explain to Zhang Yuqing in detail where they started to make changes to achieve the purpose of hydraulic transformation.

"We referred to the structure of the water mill, improved it into a water wheel, and used the belt linkage device proposed by His Royal Highness Daozi, so that the whole printing machine always reciprocated according to the corresponding step sequence through the gears."

A gray-haired craftsman explained in a respectful tone.

When more than a dozen disciples entered and saw this scene, they didn't dare to speak for a while, until the Daozi Sect Leader nodded at the craftsman and waved his hand to signal him to step back, and then they all stepped forward and said, "I've seen the Sect Master." ”

Zhang Yuqing hummed lightly, and instructed Lu Liang on the left: "You have done a good job, the craftsmen have also worked hard, each of you will be given fifty yuan to encourage, if you can improve the equipment on the basis of the present, continue to reward!" ”

When all the craftsmen heard this, they were all happy.

Someone's eyes rolled, and he bowed down quite reservedly and said, "Your Highness Daozi, the villain has an idea, I don't know if you can try it?" ”

Zhang Yuqing nodded: "Speak." ”

"Yes!" The man seemed to be greatly encouraged, raised his head with a ruddy face, and said: "The villain has been guided by His Royal Highness Daozi's application of the hydraulic printing press, and it seems that this water wheel has a great future. I tried to tinker with it at home, and connected the Hun family's spinning wheel with the water wheel to make a water-powered spinning machine, I don't know if it is useful for His Royal Highness Daozi? ”

"Hydrospinning machine?" Zhang Yuqing pondered for a while.

This craftsman is a lively mind, with the thinking of drawing inferences from others, and should be rewarded. ’

Thinking of this, he immediately announced: "You have done a good job, give three hundred guan." ”

When many craftsmen heard this, they were all envious.

It's not because of the money and rewards, all the craftsmen are from the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry, and how many rewards they take, when they go back and close the door, they have to share the profits according to the size of their official ranks.

The main reason is that this person has won the favor of Daozi, and his future is limitless.

'The water-powered printing machine and the water-powered spinning machine have all been made, and the craftsmen of the Northern Song Dynasty are really not to be underestimated, if you tell them the principle of the steam engine thoroughly, I wonder if they can make a prototype? ’

Zhang Yuqing remembers that the first industrial revolution was essentially a revolution in which machines replaced manual labor.

If the first industrial revolution can be promoted to the Northern Song Dynasty hundreds of years in advance in this era, then the Immortal Sect, as the behind-the-scenes guide, will inevitably be able to share the biggest profits.

This is also one of his plans all along.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the productivity was too low, and if the productivity could not rise, it meant that the grain output could not rise.

Without food, you can't explode the population, and without the population, the total amount of aura will be limited.

This will seriously affect his great cause of cultivating immortals.

Now that the first machine to replace the handicraft industry has been successfully drummed up, it is a good start for the rest of the world.

He will inevitably take advantage of the situation, subtly influence more people to develop machines, and educate the people of the Northern Song Dynasty to make great strides on the road of the first industrial revolution through religion and profit.

"Very good, this is all the apocalypse that Immortal Venerable gave you to wait." Zhang Yuqing began to speak in front of many craftsmen and disciples, and he said: "Since the weak and boneless water can radiate such a huge amount of energy, does it mean that everything in the world has an unknown power? ”

"For example, elements such as fire, wind, and thunder may contain ways that can be used by humans."

"I followed the Immortal Venerable to practice the Immortal Book on the knees of the day and read these records, and I knew that in the Immortal Realm, everyone could use the power of water, fire, wind, and thunder to accomplish many strange things."

"For example, traveling thousands of miles in one day, or calling for wind and rain, or talking in the air, or harvesting 10,000 tons of grain, it is still amazing to look back on!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes showed yearning, and they remembered what a beautiful holy place the distant fairy world was.

It was under this influence that I came up with the idea of using water power instead of manual printing of Taoist books. You must continue to work hard and strive to comprehend the usage of the other three elements of heaven and earth as soon as possible, so as to benefit the common people in the world. ”

"Yes, Michiko!"

Zhang Yuqing drew a big cake for the craftsmen and left satisfied, leaving everyone to ponder how to make good use of the power of wind, fire and thunder.

……

It's time to start with education and cultivate a cultural class that is completely loyal to me, and leaving everything to the officials of the court will only make a mess of things. And if you want to manipulate public opinion, you also need to start from it. ’

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuqing opened his mouth to ask the two daughters of Zixuan and Nightshade who accompanied him.

"How many new disciples have been accepted in the sect now?"

"Returning to His Highness Daozi, the Immortal General Altar has recorded three thousand two hundred and seventy-eight new disciples, all of whom are willing to enter the meditation and cultivation."

"So much? What about accommodation? ”

“…… Temporarily settle down, only come to the temple every day for morning and evening classes, and wait for the construction of the entire hall to be completely completed before moving in. ”

"In addition, we have received a total of 2.3 million yuan in donations from believers and disciples."

"It is estimated that 1.5 million yuan will be allocated for the construction of the temple, and the rest will be deposited in the treasury."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuqing nodded.

"Send someone to build a academy on the top of the stream, and I will teach."

The two girls looked at each other in unison and said in surprise: "Teaching?!" ”

Zhang Yuqing nodded: "Yes, since you are a disciple of the Immortal Sect, you naturally have to be familiar with the moral texts of the Immortal Sect. I will personally compile the canons used in the college and hire a group of lecturers in the church to teach my disciples on my behalf. ”

"This ......" Zixuan was barely a person who had studied with Daozi Niang for a few days, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what Zi wants to teach?" ”

"Taoist doctrine."

"Taoist?"

The second daughter looked dazed, but Lu Liang's eyes on the side glowed slightly, and she nodded secretly.

Daozi is indeed a person who has been used by the world, and he is even familiar with Taoist doctrine. ’

Since ancient times, there has hardly been much resemblance between Taoism and Taoism except for their origins.

It can only be said that Taoism is the origin of Taoism, and Taoism is a branch of Taoism.

Now that the head of the Tao of Eternal Life wants to expound the Taoist doctrine for his disciples, it is natural to revive the Taoist banner and counter the Confucian protégés who have gradually occupied the mainstream since the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Yuqing naturally didn't want to tell them that his Taoist was not the same as the Taoist who paid attention to inaction and governed the Tao naturally.

This will be a Taoist who mainly studies how to scientifically cultivate immortals and ascend to the Cyber Elysium as soon as possible.

Of course, it is unlikely that the people of the Northern Song Dynasty were taught what historical materialism was at the beginning, which was contrary to his idea of religious statehood.

The main courses in the early stage will be geography, simplified Chinese, elementary mathematics, mechanical structure and other simple and easy-to-understand things.

At least hundreds of thousands of literate people who know simplified Chinese characters must be developed, and then they will start to transform this backward Northern Song Dynasty!
