Ji County began to flourish with the help of the two core areas of Fang Yun's old house and Wudao River. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Ning'an County, the government-owned workshops began to develop unprecedentedly.
On the second day after the successful development of the wooden drum cotton spinning machine, Fang Yun went to Gongfang Street as usual, but unlike usual, he deliberately used the Longma luxury car.
Because, starting today, scholars from the Gongdian will begin to move into the workshops in Ning'an County in large numbers to learn how to build mechanisms, observe the operation of mechanisms, record the status of mechanisms, and study and research those things that Fang Yun said were derived from engineering classics but were innovative, such as levers, friction, cams, worm gears, etc.
Those things had already appeared and been used by craftsmen a long time ago, but they were systematized by Fang Yun, which is why Gongdian attaches the most importance to them.
After learning that Gongdian had moved into Ning'an County, Lei Shushan and others overturned the table, but there was nothing they could do.
This is the importance of mechanical innovation. As long as there is a groundbreaking technological innovation, engineers will follow up and study it in an all-round way, strive to quickly improve and put it into practice, first strengthen the machinery for combat use, and then gradually popularize it for civilian use.
Unlike the generalists who like to play political games, the Gong family has always been resolute and efficient, so even if there are many dark hands trying to prevent the Gongdian from entering Ning'an County, it will be in vain.
At critical moments, the execution ability of engineers is even higher than that of disciplined military strategists.
The carriage stopped in front of the spinning workshop. Fang Yun and Ao Huang got off the carriage and saw that in the open space between the carriage and the workshop, there were not only workers from the county workshop, but also more than three hundred scholars from the workshop hall!
And in the extremely high sky, there are more than ten mechanical birds soaring, and each mechanical bird can easily kill the demon lord.
The most powerful mechanical bird can even kill the Demon King, because it is the mechanism that guards the great scholar Xiang Liyuan in the Gongdian this year, and the bird is only used for reconnaissance, not for fighting.
The great scholar Xiang Liyuan stood in front of everyone, his purple robe fluttering in the wind, with the symbol of Gongdian embroidered on his left chest. His hair was black, and his face was only slightly old. His hands were very large, with prominent joints, which was different from the slender fingers of ordinary scholars. It was obvious that he often did heavy work.
After seeing Fang Yun, Xiang Liyuan actually took the initiative to bow, and the others immediately followed suit.
Fang Yun immediately bowed in return.
After the ceremony, Xiang Liyuan smiled and said, "On behalf of the Gong family, I would like to thank Fang Xusheng for developing the mechanism and strengthening the Gong family!"
"It is my student's job, and you are too kind to me, Mr. Xiangli," said Fang Yun.
Xiang Liyuan smiled and said, "Your new cotton gin, cotton spinning machine and blueprints have been thoroughly understood by me and the great scholars of the Gong family. We have repeatedly praised you, saying that you are truly the first blooming sun and the beauty of heaven and earth. Today, I will work with the Gongdian people to build a new spinning machine according to your blueprints."
"I would be very sorry to refuse, but I have been working with Liu Yu for a long time. I hope he can join us."
"I have heard of this man too. He has the integrity of a worker." Xiang Liyuan nodded.
Liu Yu's face flushed immediately. These were all the mechanical engineers of the Gong Palace. This man was a great scholar of the Gong family. To be able to work with these people to create a mechanical machine was more honorable to the Gong family than being received by the king.
Ao Huang followed Fang Yun and flew forward. He said in a carefree manner: "Old man Yuan, we meet again!"
Xiang Liyuan smiled and said, "It has been a long time since we last saw each other in the Dragon Palace, and Prince Huang is even better than before."
"That's right! I'm already a Dragon Marquis. It won't be long before I become a Dragon King. When I become a Great Dragon King, find a chance for us to compete!" Ao Huang was not afraid of the great scholar at all.
"Sure." Xiang Liyuan didn't blame Ao Huang at all.
Ao Huang whispered, "Fang Yun, don't you think the name 'Great Dragon King' is a rubbish? In the ancient times, above the Dragon King was the Dragon Emperor, which sounded more domineering than the Great Dragon King. You humans are called Great Scholars, and the demons are called Great Demons. Naturally, we dragons can't fall behind, but... isn't 'Great Dragon' too ugly?"
Many people smiled, as they had never seen such an unrestrained real dragon.
Fang Yun said: "You can't even figure out the name of Zulong, how do you know he was called Dragon Emperor?"
"If Zulong doesn't tell us his name, how can we know it? Zulong is the spirit of heaven and earth, so it's normal for him to not have a name!"
Fang Yun did not continue chatting with Ao Huang. He walked into the workshop with the great scholar Xiang Liyuan and started to build a new spinning machine.
The workers in the county workshops made cotton gins and cotton spinning machines. The highest academic rank among them was just a scholar. Any worker who could become a juren would either go to larger and safer workshops, or start his own workshop.
Therefore, the previous two mechanisms were built extremely slowly.
But now, there is one great scholar, four grand secretaries, twenty Hanlin scholars, and more than three hundred Jinshi and Juren. Each of them is a leader in engineering. There are even many who were former top scorers in the imperial examination and won first class in the palace examination for engineering works.
Although Xiang Liyuan has not yet gathered his destiny, he still has the Gongjia Wentai. After releasing the power of the Wentai, the accuracy of the mechanism has been greatly improved.
After only three hours, the new spinning machine was built and started up by the great scholar Xiang Liyuan himself. Like the previous two machines, it was a great success.
After inspecting the spinning machines, Fang Yun led the scholar to visit some workshops, focusing on the cotton ginning and cotton fluffing workshops, and won praise from all the workers.
Before Xiang Liyuan left, Fang Yun asked him to give him his calligraphy, which would be framed and hung in a workshop in the county.
Some people from the Engineering Hall followed Xiang Liyuan and left to inspect other places, while one hundred scholars from the engineering family stayed here and, led by a university scholar, began to help the workshops in Ning'an County build new mechanisms.
Ning'an County has not only become a legal pilot for the Criminal Court, but also an institutional pilot for the Works Court.
With the presence of people from the Palace of Engineering, Fang Yun will gain a huge advantage in the subject of "Fortifications", but no one in the palace examination will complain about unfairness, because Fang Yun's mechanical innovation is too advanced. The earlier the research is done, the earlier the strength of the human race will be improved, and there is no time to waste.
The power of the hundreds of scholars in the Gongdian is enormous. As new technologies come out, they will inevitably be used in other institutions.
Ning'an County will become a new driving force for the development of human institutions, and the person who starts this new driving force is Fang Yun.
All the workers have realized that Ning'an County is the starting point of a new era for the workers!
In three months at most, a large number of new technologies will become popular. By then, Fang Yun's rating in the fortification department will rise all the way, and it will not be impossible for him to even get the first-class rating in fortification.
As soon as Xiang Liyuan left, Fang Yun returned to the county government office and summoned county officials and important figures from existing workshops to hold a meeting in the lobby.
After everyone arrived and sat down, Fang Yun looked around and said slowly: "The great scholar Xiang Liyuan came in person and affirmed the Gong family lineage of my Ning'an County. He also brought a document from the Holy Academy and set up Ning'an County as a pilot Gongdian. You should all know this."
Tao Dingnian, the county magistrate Shen Ming and others nodded together. Many of them looked very unhappy. After Fang Yun had "interviewed" a large number of neighborhood masters, they had originally wanted to see Fang Yun being besieged by aristocratic families, officials and royal relatives. However, not only was he not besieged, but the Palace of Works even sent a great scholar to come in person.
Not to mention that Fang Yun was just "talking", even if he really arrested those shop owners, for the sake of the great scholar of Gongdian, those dignitaries would have to hold back for a month before making trouble. The Gong family never caused trouble, and they could tolerate fighting for power and profit, but if they hindered the development of the Gong family, Gongdian would definitely punish them severely.
