Five hundred people lined up to enter the house area.

Wang Yu appointed an official from the worker to allocate them to house the house.

Following Liu Jun, the group headed north again.

When he arrived at the middle of the Xinghua Garden, Liu Jun stopped.

There is a ditch here, which is the middle dividing line of the Apricot Garden.

According to the plan, the south of the Apricot Garden will mainly include light industrial areas such as rouge, bathing liquid, and spinning workshops.

In the north, there are heavy industrial areas such as steelmaking and firearm forging.

The two industrial areas will be separated by a high wall, leaving only one door to enter and exit for easy management.

"What are Gong Ming busy with now?" Liu Jun asked.

Although Wang Yu is not as good as Gong Ming in craftsmanship, Gong Ming is essentially an official under his command.

"These days he has built a lot of blast furnaces in the craftsmanship department, and is crafting iron and steel. Speaking of which, the shovels and hoes in the hands of these people are all made by them."

After Gong Ming came back from the palace, he started to make trouble. After asking, he realized that this was what Liu Jun taught them.

After asking, he found out that the furnaces were called blast furnaces.

Liu Jun nodded, this is the importance of the steel industry.

If the steel output cannot keep up, a large-scale project will not even have enough tools for construction, let alone making guns and cannons.

Continue to walk north for a mile.

At this time, Liu Jun saw five or six thousand people digging a waterway.

This waterway will be introduced from the moat and runs through the entire Apricot Garden.

"Fortunately, so many refugees flocked to Jingyang City, otherwise this river would not have been dug out for less than a year or two." Wang Yu sighed, "But the matter is unknown, why did Your Highness leave a place in the middle of this river?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at the place where Wang Yu pointed.

I saw that in the five-meter-wide river, there was a place similar to a small island in every other section that was not dug.

Liu Jun laughed when he heard this, "This river is not just for water."

Since it is a plan, Liu Jun’s eyes naturally need to be long-term.

So many things in the Apricot Garden are considered for the future.

In the process of human technology development, power has gone from human to hydraulic to mechanical force.

Every increase in power will greatly improve productivity.

The situation in Jingzhou is still in the human power stage, and hydraulic power is the transitional stage between human power and mechanical power.

So he naturally had to use it to improve the productivity level of Apricot Garden.

This is why this kind of river channel design is achieved.

Because there are no excavation areas in the middle of the river, the water will fork when it passes through these places.

As the process of narrowing from width, the pressure of the water flow will increase, thus becoming turbulent here.

There is one such trail every other section, creating multiple turbulent areas.

It is perfect to place hydraulic machinery in these areas.

"Have you seen any trolley, water drain, water mill, water mill?" Liu Jun glanced at everyone.

Wang Yu was stunned and said, "Xiaoguan was born in a farmer's family. I have seen these things since I was a child. This truck and water drain are used for irrigation. The water mill is like a hammer that is coming up and down. The water mill and water mill are used for grinding the noodles."

"Well, it's not all that is different from grains." Liu Jun said: "This water mill can grind the noodles. When the time comes, change to a larger one and a harder material, you will naturally grind ore and other things. This water mill can grind the millet, and it will naturally be used as a forging hammer after changing it."

These ancient hydraulic machinery had very early history.

It appeared in the contemporary Han and Tang dynasties, and by the Ming Dynasty, it was already very common among the people after improvement.

It is recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "The Work of Heaven and the Book of Worships" and the Yuan Dynasty's "Wang Zhen's "Book of Agriculture" and there are also manufacturing methods.

The Rong Dynasty's technological level was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, so there were naturally these things.

Liu Jun currently values ​​water millstones the most for these types of hydraulic tools.

"The Book of Jin" records that "now man-made water wheels, the shafts can be several feet long, and they are arranged across the cross-woods, and they intersect like guns. When the water rotates, the horizontal woods between the shafts will be pressed and the pellet tips are placed between them, and they will fall and pound them together, which will be connected to the machine pellet."

Simply put, a water mill uses water to drive the water wheel to rotate.

The water wheel drives a horizontal wood, and there will be interlaced wood chips on the horizontal wood. When rotating, the wood chips pull the hammer rod. At this time, through the lever principle, the hammer tail is pressed down and the hammer head is raised.

When the wood chips and the hammer tail break away, the hammer head will fall down and pound the millet up and down.

According to the records in the base, the Western hydraulic forging hammer is not an improved version of the water mill, and the principle is the same.

"The official understands." Wang Yu nodded.

In folk water mills, etc., they are used in workshops because they do not require manpower and can be carried out day and night, which is much better than employed people.

After walking along the river for a while, Liu Jun and Wang Yu returned to the pergola.

At this time, he asked Wang Yu for the drawings and told him about the planning details of the Xinghua Garden. He did not return to the palace until noon.

In the afternoon, he called Liu Xuan and prepared to let him take over the already built workshop area to the south of Xinghua Garden.

Time waits for no one, it is now mid-June.

According to the laws of ancient wars, wars usually occur in autumn.

Because it is rainy in summer and the roads are muddy and inconvenient to march, and the climate is hot, marching and fighting will cause more soldiers to lose non-combat troops.

Autumn is the height of autumn and the horse is fat, the rice harvest is in the warehouse, and the weather is relatively cool.

At this time, the war had sufficient food and grass and an unemployed population. Invading the enemy country, it could also plunder a large amount of food.

Therefore, the peace in Jingzhou can last for up to four or five months.

"Today you can move both the spinning workshop and the rouge workshop. Add the bath liquid workshop and the craftsmen in the three workshops are gathered together to facilitate jurisdiction."

When Liu Xuan arrived in the Qinzheng Hall, Liu Jun directly ordered.

Now, the head of the Business Department is his part-time job, and the head of the Industrial Department is Liu Xuan's full position.

These days, Liu Xuan ran around and felt that a lot of time was wasted on the road.

Taking this opportunity, he said, "Your Highness, since that's the case, why not choose a yard inside as the yamen of the Industrial Department, so that the officials can monitor the workshop at any time. Sometimes there are too many things to do, and they can live in it."

"The environment inside is not as comfortable as your home, can you stand it?" Liu Jun asked staring at him.

"Your Highness has underestimated the emperor. Although the emperor has no worries about food and clothing since childhood, he is not just a wealthy young man." Liu Xuan said seriously.

Liu Jun nodded in appreciation. Liu Xuan is becoming more and more like a workaholic now.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Liu Xuan suddenly thought of something and said, "Since the officials want to accept the workshop, the first priority is to keep it confidential. I hope your highness can give the officials some staff to inspect the workshop."

Liu Jun was about to say this, so he said: "I will temporarily dispatch some soldiers for your help. During this period, you will select some loyal and reliable people from among the refugees as workshop guards. These guards will be directly under the jurisdiction of your Industrial Division in the future and will be responsible for confidential supervision."

Liu Xuan pointed at the sound of the words, "Then Xiaguan is here."

After saying that, he bowed to Liu Jun and turned around and left.

After Liu Xuan left, Liu Jun was about to ask Hu Wei to find Gong Ming, and was about to separate the craftsmanship department from the Industrial Department and put it under the Industrial Department. In the future, the craftsmanship department was ordered to be in charge of construction.
