The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"Oh? Did Mr. Xiangli decide that Lei Shushan is the first, or Mo Shan is better?" asked the leading scholar of the Criminal Hall.

The Criminal Hall Hanlin said: "Neither Lei Shushan nor Mo Shan."

"What?" Lei Shushan screamed and looked at the Criminal Hall Hanlin in disbelief.

Mo Shan was also stunned and puzzled.

"Impossible!"

"How could this be!"

Both the Lei family and the Mo family were like boiling water, and the people of the Criminal Hall who were listening were also confused.

"What did Mr. Xiangli say? You must not miss a word."

The Hanlin of the Criminal Palace replied: "The old man Xiangli said: 'It's just a trivial matter, let the Criminal Palace decide, I won't go.' Then, the student asked in detail why, and the old man Xiangli said very dissatisfiedly: 'Let those two guys who are fighting for fame and fortune get out of the arbitration court and learn Fang Xusheng's wooden drum cotton gin and blueprint drawing! By the way, they also need to learn the new cotton gin!'. The subordinates also found people from the Gongdian and other criminal palaces to find out, and then they knew that Fang Xusheng had developed a new cotton gin with three times the efficiency many days ago, and also made a wooden drum cotton gin. I heard from the Gongdian that the box-type cotton gin is one hundred years ahead of this era, but the wooden drum cotton gin is three hundred years ahead of this era!"

Everyone present was stunned, and many people didn't even believe what the Hanlin of the Criminal Palace said.

What new cotton gin? What wooden drum cotton gin? What blueprint drawing? The Hanlin of the Criminal Palace spoke the human language? Why do I understand every word, but don't know what it means when they are put together?

An old scholar from the Lei family shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! How can a mere county magistrate create a better mechanism than a genius from an engineering family! I don't believe that the wooden drum cotton machine is better than the box-type cotton bow! The cotton-pinching efficiency is increased by three times? How can Fang Yun do it in less than a month! He simply treats us as fools!"

When no one was talking, the old scholar from the Lei family spoke particularly loudly. The Lei family members were very angry, and the others were considered outsiders at this time, watching the Lei family members calmly, and they all knew the conflict between the Lei family members and Fang Yun.

The Hanlin of the Criminal Hall snorted and said, "This is true."

Mo Shan suddenly smiled and bowed to Lei Shushan, saying, "Congratulations to Brother Lei for becoming the first person in the box-type cotton bow. I will take the initiative to leave this arbitration to congratulate the first person in the wooden drum cotton machine!" After that, Mo Shan left the arbitration court.

Mo Shan's words were full of wit, and Lei Shushan's face turned pale and blue, his expression changed, and he tried to control his emotions.

Just a few days ago, Lei Shushan thought that he could shock Fang Yun by improving the overturning machine, and then defeat Fang Yun with the box-type cotton-spinning bow, forcing Fang Yun to completely give up the fortification department. But who knew that Fang Yun not only improved the cotton-spinning mechanism in the same way, but also far surpassed him.

Now the situation has become clear. Fang Yun’s talent in fortification is probably no less than his talent in medicine or military.

Lei Shushan took a deep breath, bowed to the criminal hall Hanlin, and said: "Excuse me, sir, is Fang Yun’s mechanism innovation led by him, or just participated in it?"

The criminal hall Hanlin said: "Whether it is a new cotton gin or a wooden drum cotton gin, it was designed by Fang Xusheng himself and he guided the workers to build and install it step by step, and at the same time instructed the other people’s engineering skills."

Lei Shushan’s figure shook, unable to believe this fact that was like a bolt from the blue.

Not to mention Lei Shushan, even Mo Shan, who was better at mechanical skills, did not dare to say that he guided the old workers to build and install it. Instead, he was often opposed and instructed by the old workers.

The Mo family suddenly began to chuckle.

"Lei Shushan is so unlucky. He has just been the best at box-type cotton-spinning bows for a quarter of an hour, and then a better wooden drum cotton-spinning machine comes out. Hahaha... It's really funny."

"I said before that Mo Shan can lose to Fang Xusheng, but he must not lose to Lei Shushan. I didn't expect it to come true!"

"Lei Shushan is proud of having made a box-type cotton-spinning bow, but the old man from the Gongdian Hall doesn't even look at it! What the hell is the best? He's only the best for a moment!"

"That's good. Now that Fang Xusheng has made a more advanced cotton-spinning machine, who would still use a box-type cotton-spinning bow!"

"Let's go, leave Li Sheng's literary world, and go out and ask what a 'wooden drum cotton-spinning machine' is. Since the people from the Gongdian Hall have already confirmed it, it must be right!"

"Let's go together! We also need to ask about the new cotton-spinning machine. This year is probably the year of a technological explosion for my Gongjia!"

"Fang Xusheng is really unexpected. And what about the blueprint? Since it was mentioned by a great Gongjia scholar, it must be extraordinary!"

The Mojia people laughed and left the literary world.

The Lei family members didn't know whether to leave or stay, and they all looked at Lei Shushan.

The three elders of the Criminal Hall had already discussed it, and the elder in the middle said: "If it involves major innovations of the human race and major disputes that affect the development process of the human race, it will be arbitrated by the Criminal Hall Arbitration Tribunal. Since the elder of the Workers' Hall thinks that this case is not important, then I hereby announce that the dispute over the box-type flower-spinning bow will be resolved by the Workers' Hall. If you are dissatisfied with the verdict, you can appeal to the Criminal Hall! Adjourn the court!"

The people of the Criminal Hall left one after another.

Lei Shushan and the Lei family stood in the empty arbitration tribunal, all tasting a different kind of desolation and sadness.

"The dispute between the workers and the family has been temporarily defeated, but I will never lose to you in the dispute between the farmers! What's more, I already know..." Lei Shushan smiled grimly and left the arbitration tribunal.

Similar to the scene that day, Fang Yun was drinking tea in the tea room, and the workers in the flower-spinning workshop rushed in together, with the same joy as the last time they rushed into the tea room.

"What a joy! The old-fashioned catapult bow can only play a dozen kilograms per day per person, but your wooden drum catapult machine can play more than 200 kilograms in six hours! And except for feeding the lint, the other processes require no manual labor at all!"

“The progress is incredible!”

Fang Yun drank tea very calmly. All the current improvements in institutions are preparing for the truly advanced textile industry in the future. In the future, the textile process will change, but everything needs to be done step by step and cannot be accomplished overnight.

When everyone had finished talking, Fang Yuncai said: "Starting tomorrow, some people will step up their efforts to build new gins and elastic machines in batches, while others will follow me to build new spinning machines!"

After ginning and springing, it’s time to spin the yarn.

Liu Yu was so impressed that he fell to the ground and said: "Fang Xusheng, you really don't leave a way for other imperial candidates to survive! You have continuously improved the ginning machine, the elastic machine and the spinning machine, which not only greatly improved the weaving industry, but also improved the machine technology. The impact will be even greater. I’m afraid all agencies in the future will have strict drawings, and they will be drawn according to the standards you set!”

"Yes. After the spinning machine is improved, I will reward you for your merits." Fang Yun said.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "We all contribute to Jingguo, and we all do things according to your instructions, and we have already received five times the remuneration. We will be rewarded based on our merits."

Fang Yun smiled and said: "After I came to Ning'an County, the punishments will be strict, and the rewards will naturally be heavier. On the first day of March, I will conduct a merit-based reward based on your merits these days and before. Please be mentally prepared. Prepare."

Fang Yun smiled and glanced at everyone present. The workers cheered, but the workshop owners looked uneasy.
