South, coastal villages.

In previous years, the most difficult time for these seaside residents was summer.

Typhoons in summer come violently and last for at least a month.

If the wind gets strong, it can even blow away people.

However, after this year's peak sea breeze season passed, they discovered that there were many more strange earthen houses around them.

These mud houses were built before the typhoon, and people come in and out for repairs from time to time.

It was not until recently that many wooden shelves were installed outside the earthen house that they realized the strangeness of the house.

There are several huge wooden fans on it, whirring and spinning, like giant birds that are always spreading their wings and screaming!

At first, many ignorant villagers knelt down and worshiped in front of this mud house.

It is said that this wooden frame can move so powerfully, it must be a manifestation of gods. Didn't they have a big shot here who met gods at the seaside?

Until everyone realized the usefulness of this house.

Tongyang County, Lujiagou.

It is said to be a ditch, but it is actually a small fishing village near the sea.

The people here mainly rely on the sea for their livelihood. In years when the crops are not harvested well, they spend the whole day eating in the sea.

You can eat whatever you can catch, and if you catch too much, you can sell it to make some money.

When people in the village were chatting at the entrance of the village, they talked about the change of senior officials above them.

It is said that he changed to a woman...

The person who said this was Lu Liulang who often went to the county to sell fish.

Lu Liulang secretly shared this important event with the village gods, saying that the official above had been replaced by a woman.

In this world, can women still be officials?

This is something they have never heard of.

When they later found out that this woman was a princess, the daughter of the most noble emperor in the capital, the villagers were very indifferent.

It is definitely possible for the emperor's daughter to become an official.

No matter who the official above is replaced, it will not have much impact on the lives of fishermen like them.

But this year, many county government officials came and arranged a lot of things for them in the village.

For example, a mud house was built.

This earthen house was built tall and thicker than ordinary people's houses.

They thought it was a house built for some high-ranking officials to live here, but later they saw that people had sent a lot of things into it.

The people in the village were very curious until they found out that this house was called a mill and was used to grind grain.

The clerk from the county government poured a bag of grain into it in front of everyone, and then watched the ground powder come out from the other side.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked around, trying to see what kind of monster was hidden inside.

The officials said that the princess built it for them free of charge for the people in their village to use.

This thing doesn't require any skills, it just spins fast when the wind is strong.

This is lent to them by the princess, not given to them, it still belongs to the princess.

When using it, the whole village can use it. If someone damages it, the whole village will punish it. In addition, there are guards who come to inspect it every month. If someone monopolizes the mill and dares to monopolize the princess's things, they will never be polite.

"Lu Goudan, you've been occupying it all day. Do you have so much food to grind?"

"Everyone in the village can use this mill. Everyone queues up according to time. I got in line first. What will happen when I finish it?" A man standing in the mill loading grain in a bamboo basket asked displeasedly.

"I saw your uncle's family carrying their burdens this morning. Are you grinding grain for your uncle?"

"This mill is for people in our village, not for people from other villages!"

"Which of your eyes saw me grinding grain for my uncle? If you can't prove it, stop talking!"

You and I started arguing over the right to use this mill.

But no matter how noisy they are, they will stop one day, because they won't have endless food to grind.

Just leave these trivial matters to the village chief for mediation.

The county government below has handled many major cases of iron theft.

The core of the mill for grinding grain is made of iron.

Some thieves were driven by others to steal things from the mill. Not to mention whether they could dismantle it or not, it was a bit difficult to take away the iron lump.

The people below could not find a clue. They mainly relied on the common people to report, and they caught a lot of thieves.

Tie is a valuable item, and given Yuntao's identity, stealing this item is punishable by death according to the Jin Dynasty punishment.

At the critical moment of life and death, many thieves revealed their employers behind the scenes.

There were also those who successfully committed the crime and escaped with the iron weapon.

But it was useless when they brought it back. It was just a piece of scrap metal with a regular shape. For this thing to work, it had to rely on circles of bearings and huge wind power.

I don’t know what the mastermind behind this is thinking.

"Strict management, the people below came to report that a lot of iron tools from the mill were stolen."

In the Li'an Iron Foundry, a young man in Tsing Yi was inspecting the workshop. There was also a man in gray cloth standing behind him.

"Can't you really find it?" Yan Kuan clasped his hands behind his back and frowned slightly.

"We searched all over the city and couldn't find it."

"Okay, it's time to let the news go."

A few days later, news came from Li'an County that the iron foundry in the county was opening its mills for sale!

If you want to install a mill in your home or plant one in your county, you can come to them to place an order.

They will bring professional craftsmen there.

However, the number of construction craftsmen is limited, so if you want to make a reservation, come early, and the price is not cheap.

You know, there are quite a few people spying on Li'an's secret recipe nowadays, and someone with ulterior motives can be caught almost every month.

This Li'an man actually went out to build a mill for others. Aren't he afraid that his secret recipe would be leaked?

To be honest, they are really not afraid.

This order was left by Yuntao before he left. After the mills in various places are almost built, they can be sold to the outside world.

This mill isn't of much use, it's fine for grinding grain.

Human power can be used for grinding, and so can livestock. In Dajin, human power is not valuable.

Yuntao brought this thing out for other purposes besides saving some energy for the people around him.

Yuntao's men didn't know what the specific intention was.

I only know that their princess said that the fine noodles here in Li'an will be much cheaper in the future.

After the cheap flour from Li'an floods into the market, the price of flour in the south will definitely drop a lot.

After the mill in Li'an is built, if any prodigal son wants to build it, he can just ask for money without hesitation.

If you have enough money, you can build whatever you want.

If anyone comes to learn skills, don't stop them, let them learn on their own.

After Yuntao's men listened to Yuntao's instructions, they could only sigh that their princess was a good person.

Who knows that Yuntao has more things in mind.

Mills, a farm tool from ancient times, were completely unsatisfactory after she saw the production efficiency of ordinary factories.
