The person who came to report the news was Gou'er who was originally waiting outside the Xu Mansion. It was thought that people coming from the village could not enter the outer house, so Gou'er, the foreign official, reported the news on his behalf. Zhu Su complained to Xu Da and Xie.
He left the table and went outside the pavilion.
"What's up?"
"Mr. Yao sent someone to report that there was a civil unrest in the Zhuangzi cement kiln, and someone set fire to it at night." Gou'er said to Zhu Su.
"Civil chaos?" Zhu Su was a little surprised. After he figured out the way and successfully developed cement, Zhu Su handed over the cement kiln to the Ministry of Industry and took over. Indeed, Mei Nao has been asking about the situation there for a long time.
Could it be that the Ministry of Industry pushed too hard and pushed the craftsmen back?
"Has the chaos spread? Are other places okay?"
"It's okay. It calmed down quickly. When Li Qianhu arrived with his troops, the fire in the kiln had already been extinguished. There were no major casualties. So..."
Zhu Su was a little surprised. Since there were no casualties, Yao Guangxiao hurriedly sent people to find him what to do. If there was no spread, then it was the Ministry of Industry's business. The Ministry of Works' affairs can be handled by the Ministry of Works themselves. It has nothing to do with us.
scold.
"If Mr. Yao specifically asked him to tell you, the loom in the small workshop next to the cement kiln is missing." Gou'er continued.
In fact, he was a little confused as to whether Bu Nao was a loom and what should be emphasized.
Unexpectedly, when he heard the word "loom", the master of the fifth palace was stunned at first, and then his face turned red.
"Loom?"
"The loom is missing?"
The loom that the dog talked about was the Jenny machine invented by Zhu Su. After studying the existing looms in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Su successfully made the first version of the Jenny machine with eight spindles after several failures.
The spinning efficiency has been successfully increased to eight times. If we continue to increase the number of spindles, it is likely to even increase even more.
The workshop for improving the loom happened to be near the cement kiln, so it was put under the charge of a Langguan from the Ministry of Industry together with the cement kiln. Zhu Su insisted on playing with things like the loom, and many people sneered at it. No one expected that.
What a huge power is hidden behind a small loom, and what kind of waves it will cause in human history.
Except Yao Guangxiao!
Thinking about it, Yao Guangxiao guessed that the so-called grassland was about that humble loom because of Zhu Su's mistake about "sheep eating people".
Therefore, after discovering that the loom was missing, he hurriedly sent someone to report to Zhu Su.
"Uncle Xu, Auntie. Something happened in Zhuangzi. I'm afraid he'll have to excuse me."
Zhu Su returned to the pavilion and apologized to Xu Da and Xie. "When I have some free time in Gaiyue, I will come back to apologize to my uncle and aunt."
"My child, what do you say about whether to apologize or not?" Xie said.
Xu Da saw that Zhu Su looked good, and asked solemnly: "Do you want to be tight or not?"
"It's not a big deal. Li Qianhu has put an end to the chaos."
"If there is anything I care about, I would like to go back and check it out."
Zhu Su replied. Xu Da nodded. "Li Rong is a fierce general. With him in town, I don't think there will be any big chaos."
"Since there is someone you care about, please go ahead. Come and talk here when you have time."
Zhu Su nodded, bowed again, stood up and left. The rapidity of his steps made the Xu family in the pavilion look sideways. Seeing Zhu Su's haste to leave, Mrs.
Are you walking east in such a hurry?"
Xu Da lightly twisted his short beard thoughtfully, and suddenly turned to ask Xu Yungong: "Yungong, I have been with Dian Dong for a long time. Do you know that there is anything in that village that would make Dian Dong nervous to that extent?"
Xu Yungong paused for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I don't care about anything in the flat moon in the east of the palace. I only worry about the wrong order of things."
"Could it be that the rioters destroyed the cement kiln, glass kiln, or firearms test workshop in Zhuangzi..."
"It's just a few fire kiln workshops that have been destroyed and rebuilt. There are some strange and ingenious things."
"You are so anxious. If you don't bump into one or two remnants on the road, your daughter's son will not be able to survive..." After realizing it, Mrs. Xie began to worry about Zhu Su's safety.
"Mother, what you said is quite right." The person who refuted Mr. Xie was none other than Xu Miaoyun.
"The knowledge in the East of the Five Palaces is too much to be learned in practice."
"Those things he made may be able to turn stone into gold, defeat the enemy, or benefit the country and the people. How can they be summed up in four words: miraculous skills and obscene skills."
"There may even be more profound uses for cocoa...it would be difficult for them to know about it."
She looked at the direction Zhu Su was leaving and gently pinched the corner of the embroidered skirt.
…
"Why did the cement kiln suddenly become chaotic?" Disliked that the carriage was too slow, Zhu Su simply abandoned the carriage and rode a horse, riding the horse out of the city and galloping towards Huangzhuang. Dozens of soldiers were divided into two groups to guard the left and right, holding torches to illuminate the official road.
It was bright, but he was afraid that he would not be able to ride on the night road. While speeding, Zhu Su asked a young sergeant beside him. The young sergeant's name was Di Meng, if he had been ordered by Yao Guangxiao to inform the person who lost the loom, or if that was the case.
One of the more than twenty soldiers who were trained. In the two teams that month, one team had Zhu Su as its leader, and the other team's leader was Di Meng.
"Your Majesty." Di Meng was also riding a horse. Regardless of Zhu Su's speed, he was always half a body behind Zhu Su's right side, thinking that Zhu Su was guarding his side. "No one knows the details. The official Mei Lang of the cement kiln excused himself.
The fire is being put out and they are not allowed to get close to the cement kiln easily."
"The loom was lost because one of their brothers had a keen eye and secretly saw the mess in the workshop..."
"Hmm..." Zhu Su bit his east lip and thought. Should Mei, who is in charge of the cement kiln, be a minister of the Ministry of Industry? It is normal for Li Rong, the Qianhu Office's Qianhu, to be unable to suppress him. He has not been in charge of the cement kiln for several months.
The most likely reason is that Mei Ying was exploited too much, which aroused the resentment of the craftsmen and burned down the coal kiln. But what did they do with the loom?
"Dog!" Zhu Su shouted, and the dog on Zhu Su's left hurriedly greeted him. "Let me go first and see if there are any craftsmen in the glass kiln, steel kiln, and firearms workshop.
Lost."
"In addition, I went to the market and asked at several inns to find out if the Korean named Wang Zaixian stayed in the market!"
Gou'er was stunned, wondering whether Hong's own prince had thought that the head of a Korean named Wang was missing.
But after all, he didn't ask any more questions. After answering, he held up the torch and rode away.
"It's not true that that stickman from the Universe Kingdom is here to steal things." Zhu Su gritted his teeth. He was originally wary of the Korean named Wang Zaixian secretly learning his science and technology, but he never thought that the wrong party would steal something.
Reach out to those industries in Zhuangzi.
Except for glass and cement, other things have not yet shown their potential. A mere Korean must not know the actual value and function of things such as looms.
Moreover, the cement kiln had always adhered to the "assembly line" production principle. Even if they captured a few cement craftsmen, they still had no way of knowing the exact formula. It would be no big deal if they could just recover the loom... Then
After comforting himself, Zhu Su continued to play horses and found that his Suwang Village was already in front of him.
