Chapter 424: The country is prosperous and happy events are coming one after another [Please order]

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both tall and short, one handsome and one ugly, one is fair and handsome, and the other is dark and introverted.

Historically, the two of them did not get along well, as there cannot be two tigers in one mountain.

The main reason is that the mountain is too small and the two tigers cannot be fully fed.

But Cao Wei had large mountains and many tigers.

On the contrary, the two have a good relationship and do not constitute competition with each other.

Zhuge Liang, wearing a white and blue robe, and Pang Tong, wearing a black and gray Hanfu, were led in by Wei Xu together.

When they reached the door, Zhuge Liang paused and handed Dian Wei a small cloth bag.

Dian Wei's big wolf-dog-like nose twitched slightly, and he knew that the fruit inside was the same kind of fruit that he had taken from Zhuge Liang's piano platform when he met him in Shu last time. It tasted sweet and sour.

In his pocket was half a pound of dried fruit pulp.

Dian Wei was stunned. Apart from Cao Cao, Diao Chan, and his own wife, Zhuge Liang was the fifth person to feed him.

The fourth one is Jia Xu.

Dian Wei looked at Zhuge Liang and felt that the little brother was very sensible and he could be taken care of in the future.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong entered the house.

"May your Majesty be safe!"

Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick performed the ceremony.

"The two of us stayed in the construction camp. We have made some improvements to the construction facilities in the past few days."

"Your Majesty, would you like to see it?"

Zhuge Liang reached into his wide sleeves and pulled out a small model of an object.

Jia Xu glanced at Zhuge Liang's sleeves.

Before this, after reading the scroll left by Mozi, Jia Xu used a similar method to make ink bags to create patterns in his sleeves, thus expanding the space inside his sleeves.

Although it is not as large as the inventory of Mogongdai.

But the cuffs can still hold a lot of things.

The model Zhuge Liang took out was not big.

But it can't be seen in the sleeves, which means that the space in his sleeves has been expanded.

When Cao Cao left the Gongzaoying Camp, he told Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong that they could freely visit various things in the Gongzaoying Camp.

The two of them had obviously also read some of the scrolls of Mozi and Lu Ban, and thus mastered the relevant craftsmanship and patterns.

Besides Jia Xu, this is the second person who can create patterns and make the Qiankun sleeves.

Cao Cao then looked at the wooden model.

"Spinning loom."

Cao Cao had just told Diao Chan this morning that the recent research on textile machinery had brought about some changes in textile machinery.

The earliest textile machine in China was a sitting loom, also known as a waist loom.

It can be traced back to the Stone Age and is very primitive.

Later the sitting loom was invented.

But it only makes the weavers more comfortable, without much improvement in efficiency.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, looms and flat looms came into being.

It is a large-scale weaving machine that spins cloth on a wooden frame and is pushed back and forth by manpower.

It was not until modern times that the spinning jenny was invented.

It is said that the idea came from a British man who accidentally knocked over a textile loom at home and saw the loom's arm spinning on the ground by inertia.

In fact, few people know that in an earlier time, during the Ming Dynasty in China, similar textile machines existed.

The principle is not complicated. A spinning wheel drives eight vertical spindles to form a new type of textile machine.

A simpler explanation is that it is a rotating wheel that rotates almost like a rocker arm, transmitting force based on the principle of bearings, allowing eight textile machines to work together, increasing efficiency eightfold.

One person does the work of eight people, which shows how big the gap is.

The relevant productivity jumped eightfold.

Cao Cao had memories of later generations, but he did not know about textile machines.

He only mentioned it to the engineering department and told them the general direction.

It's easier said than done, but after more than a year of research, the factory still hasn't produced what Cao Cao wanted.

Some time ago.

The craftsman's function is similar to the shaking method of drawing water from a well to transmit force. After some improvements, the efficiency has indeed been improved.

The idea is somewhat similar to the later Jenny spinning machine.

However, it is still in its most primitive stage and cannot meet Cao Cao's requirements.

The differences between people are often innate.

In history, Zhuge Liang discovered that the industrial capacity of Shu Han was far behind that of Cao Wei.

He single-handedly created the Zhuge Crossbow, which was used for a thousand years during the Three Kingdoms period and even in the entire cold weapon era of later generations.

They also made wooden oxen and flowing horses.

The wooden ox and horse operate on the principle of wooden shaft transmission, which is similar to the power transmission of a spinning machine.

The internal components of the wooden ox and horse are much more complicated.

The model that Zhuge Liang brought was a vertical-shaft loom with a spinning wheel driving multiple vertical spindles.

It is this kind of loom that increases production capacity several times.

Cao Cao came to the model machine and shook the spinning wheel next to it.

The spinning walls below suddenly started moving with a ping-pong sound.

The importance of textiles in the Han Dynasty is self-evident.

It is no exaggeration to say that what is woven is not cloth, but money.

Of course, the breeding of cotton yarn and silkworms, which are raw materials, must also keep up. It is not enough to just improve the production capacity.

"Shi Yuan saw that Gongzao was researching textile machinery before, and he said that when he was a child, he had seen a method of using a rotating wheel to move river water, and using it as a rocker arm on a loom to convert power, which might improve efficiency.

I am the one who got involved. We made this machine together."

"After listening to the carpenter's explanation of His Majesty's intention, we think this should be the case."

Pang Tong nodded beside him, indicating that Zhuge Liang was right.

Cao Cao praised: "Well done."

Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, if we let them devote their full efforts to research, and with my guidance on the direction, can we bring about an industrial revolution in the Han Dynasty?

Cao Cao laughed dumbly.

He walked a few steps in the study with his hands behind his back:

“Are there any finished products available now?”

"We have only made this model and have tested it and it is feasible, but we don't have a large machine yet."

Pang Tong was not good-looking, but he was a man of great talent and extremely intelligent.

This is the benefit of bringing together many talents to work for you.

A person's energy is limited. Cao Cao is responsible for controlling and setting strategies. His subordinates each have their own strengths and work together to accomplish great things, enrich the country and strengthen the people, and promote rapid development of the social system.

At this stage, only Cao Cao has clearly realized what the innovation of textile machinery and the expansion of productivity by several times will bring.

Cotton spinning, silkworm and silk-related industries will all change and be greatly boosted. Eventually, they will be transformed into taxes to enhance national strength.

This is probably because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, good things happened one after another as the fortunes rose.

Cao Cao sat back on the dragon chair:

"I will write a handwritten order. You two will go back and ask the workers to manufacture this loom and test how much improvement it can bring."

"At the same time, I will inform all places to increase the scale of related industries.

This is very important. You two will be responsible for promoting the textile machine you made. If you need anything, ask Wen Ruo for it."

Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick also had happy expressions on their faces.

There was fierce internal competition in Cao's camp, so being able to quickly gain a foothold was also a good thing for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

After the two men left, Cao Cao and Jia Xu discussed the Xianbei's migration to the north again.

If the Xianbei people moved north and we wanted to launch an expedition to fight them, the baggage transportation, consumption, etc. would double.

Cao Cao needs to consider whether to launch a subsequent raid, or how to fight the war.

After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao bowed his head and dealt with various memorials.

He was filled with joy for most of the next day.

Boosting productivity is also a boost to the entire era.

Perhaps there is more I can do... Cao Cao put down the imperial pen and turned his gaze to the window.

It's almost evening.

When building the Bronze Sparrow Tower, craftsmen diverted the Zhang River to form a lake on the high ground below the tower.

Cao Cao liked places with mountains and water, so the design of the Bronze Sparrow Tower naturally had to according to his preferences.

Outside the study, there is a wide view and the lake is shimmering.

The old turtle at home has become a water-controlling divine beast. After Cao Cao guided the spiritual energy into its body, its body has become increasingly larger. It is not afraid of cold or heat, and is swimming around in the lake, blowing bubbles.

To be precise, it is spitting water arrows.

This old turtle already has some magical power to control water.

After the founding of Cao Wei, it was apparently allowed for spirits to become spirits.

As the ruler of a country, Cao Cao's destiny is in harmony with that of China.

Only two days after the founding of the country, he vaguely felt a spiritual charm rising across the land of China.

As for these "monsters" at home, Yin has been lazy and snoring since yesterday.

This old turtle is more active than usual, which is related to the change in the fortunes of heaven and earth.

Except Cao Cao who broke into the mythical realm by relying on the national destiny.

He also felt that the two people at the door, as well as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci and others, had some changes.

There is also Wang Yue hiding in the dark.

Some of them were either approaching or, like Cao Cao, were trying to cross that barrier.

Cao Cao withdrew his thoughts and his mind unconsciously ran to the spinning loom again.

He was thinking about how to improve cotton yarn and silkworm cultivation in the future when he saw a figure in a fragrant orchid Han skirt walking out of the inner court gate on the side of the lake.

The figure quickly came to the study.

"His Majesty."

The voice was clear and soft, filled with liveliness and joy. It was Zhen Mi.

The girl's face is as radiant as a peach blossom, and her beauty contains a hint of charm.

Cao Cao's several female clerks were not allowed to participate in politics because the country had been officially established.

Therefore, Diao Chan and Wen Ji no longer came to the official study in the front hall.

But Zhen Mi and Boss Cao had some troubles that have not been made public.

She still came as usual to help Cao Cao with his affairs.

After Zhen Mi came in, she started to work, organizing the desks and files, and occasionally stealing a glance at Cao Cao.

The setting sun.

Cao Cao ended his first day as emperor.

He asked Dian Wei and Xu Chu to leave early.

On the corridor leading to the back hall, only Cao Cao and the girl were left.

Zhen Mi was following him, and suddenly she felt her hand tighten, and was pulled over by Cao Cao.

Zhen Mi's little face turned red all the way to her ears.

When the two returned to the inner courtyard, Zhen Mi carefully pulled her hand back, and ran away for fear of being seen.

Cao Cao was thinking about which concubine's bedroom to visit first.

After establishing the country, he continued to use the concubine system of the Han Dynasty with only minor adjustments.

Under the empress, there is the noble concubine, also known as the noble lady, noble concubine, or noble lady.

This level is generally called Madam.

Then there are Zhaoyi, Jieyu, and the names below are more coquettish, such as Meiren.

Next in order are the palace ladies and the court ladies.

Cao Cao's current wives and concubines were all taken in before he became king.

After he became emperor, the ranks of his wives and concubines also rose.

Zou Yuan and Du Xiu Niang were given the rank of beauties and were given a corresponding salary to spend every month.

Zhen Yan and Yao Jing were given the title of Jieyu.

Wen Ji, Diao Chan, Bian Mei, and Bai Ke all had the title of Madam and Imperial Concubine.

The four of them had followed Cao Cao for an early time and each had their own qualifications, so they could work in the official study.

Diao Chan was also in charge of the family's inner treasury.

Bian Mei and Bai Ke came with huge dowries and incorporated the entire Qingbi Li into Cao Wei.

Otherwise, Cao Wei's spy system would not be able to develop so quickly. How many fewer talents would be recruited and how many fewer victories would be won?
Yu Qing is also at the level of Imperial Concubine.

In the early stages of Caoying's development, the support provided by the Yu family was unmatched. In terms of money, horses, etc., more than half of the family's assets were drained away.

Therefore, Yu Qing had the highest rank of imperial concubine.

After he became emperor, other concubines were also taken into the palace by Cao Cao, all of whom were wives he had snatched from Jiangdong.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly heard the sound of someone weeping in the inner palace.

He walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

The two Qiao sisters were locked up in Tongque Tower during the deep spring. After the Tongque Tower was built, the two Qiao sisters were naturally indispensable.

Xiao Qiao was sitting by the window of a bedroom.

Da Qiao was trying to persuade her, but the two sisters were talking about something and Xiao Qiao started to cry softly.

Cao Cao saw two sisters leaning against the window from afar, each with their own unique style, and thought to himself that he would visit the sisters first tonight.

"His Majesty."

When Da Qiao saw Cao Cao coming in, she and Xiao Qiao greeted him together.
