Chapter 544 Legend
In order to express his dissatisfaction, Jin Rong tried the chain hoist, but he not only ignored it, he even didn't go to the scene to observe and support the scene.

Without the active participation of His Royal Highness King Yu, the others were naturally not in high spirits and did not take it seriously.Only the aides of King Yu's mansion led two rustic craftsmen in words and deeds to lift three kinds of iron ingots of different weights at the site prepared by the Ministry of Industry.

Although the preliminary preparations for demonstrating the function of the chain hoist were very low-key, the display effect was sensational.

His Royal Highness King Yu acted very negligently, and His Majesty the Emperor thought it was not a big deal, so he only sent the eunuch who was on hand to take a look, as a way to save King Yu's face.

The test site was chosen in the courtyard outside the six office halls, so it was very convenient to watch the excitement. Although no heavyweights were present, it was convenient for small officials and clerks to pass by and take a look.

The dull office space finally became lively, and there were many more people who happened to pass by the courtyard today.

Du Dazhong led a small follower, and under the watchful eyes of a few people, he succeeded in lifting for the first time. When hanging the thousand-jin iron ingot hastily prepared by the Ministry of Industry on the temporarily prepared gantry, a few people were scattered to deal with official business. , the people guarding the scene, and the little officials who happened to pass by, all fell silent.

Then, someone who didn't know made the first exclamation, and then the scene got a little out of control.The few people who were dealing with official business didn't care about the scum of the craftsman's soil, they all came forward to look closely and ask questions, and the young servants hurried back to dissuade them.The few officials in the periphery who witnessed the rise of the iron lump were also surprised, and they gathered together to discuss.

The adults who were working in the rooms around the patio could hear the noisy noise outside.

The lower-level officials who went out to scold the noise outside had just stepped out of the door, and before they had time to speak, someone had already come over, gesticulating and explaining what happened just now.Several officials looked at the iron lump that fell in mid-air, they were speechless immediately, and then went back to report to the superior.

After that, all the ministers/officials put down their affairs in disbelief and went out to see what that thing was.Is it really capable of lifting heavy weights, or is it just making people happy by grandstanding.

In other words, there are many strong men and warriors who can lift huge boulders in teahouses and theaters, but no one has actually met such strange people.To put it bluntly, it was just a magical legend, a beautiful imagination.If something like this happened outside their room, it would be truly earth-shattering and worthy of praise.

Especially Wang Xian couldn't believe it.This thing is a product of a workshop in which His Royal Highness Yu Wang has a shareholding. Even His Royal Highness Yu himself is too lazy to make fun of it, so there should be nothing unusual about it.Otherwise, wouldn't His Highness have come here long ago to build momentum?
Then, on the periphery of the enlarged patio surrounded by crowds of people watching, Wang Xian saw a few craftsmen under the Ministry of Industry grunting and pushing an iron ingot with a cart.

Wang Xian frowned, called several craftsmen to stop, looked at the iron ingot again, and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that a thousand-jin iron ingot has been hoisted? What is this for?"

The leading craftsman hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied: "The young ones also follow the arrangement to do things. They said that they use iron ingots of three kinds of weights. The one just now is one thousand catties, and this one is one thousand five. Later, I will take two more." A thousand catties of iron ingots are put together for use.”

Wang Xian reprimanded a few words deliberately, but he was not sure what the condition of the chain hoist was, maybe it could really be hoisted?

He waved his hands impatiently and asked them to do their own thing. Then he stood there and thought for a while, but he didn't squeeze into the crowd after all. He just stood on the steps of the eaves, looked over people's heads, and looked at the center of the enlarged courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard stood the staff and servants of Prince Yu's Mansion, and the two rustic craftsmen.In front of the few people was a nine-foot high and thick shelf, on which hung a small object, presumably it was that chain hoist.Listen to this name, it is not a high-end thing.

Hubu Shangshu Yu Shiqing saw Wang Xian, strolled over, first bowed to Wang Xian, then pointed to the crowd, and said with a smile: "It really looks like a magical object, the little ones said, only that thing, just now It’s really lifting a thousand catties.”

Wang Xian replied with a smile, "I just heard about it, isn't it, why don't you come out and see it?"

Yu Shiqing asked: "Your Majesty assigned the probationary work to the Ministry of Industry. I don't know how your lord arranged it? This is... another hanging?"

Wang Xian hesitated for a moment, how did he know these trivial matters?These small matters are arranged by the subordinates. If he has to personally ask about everything, what do those people below need to do?
"I always have to try a few more times to ensure the stability of the brakes." Wang Xian smiled and changed the subject, after all, he didn't dare to say that this is a trivial matter, not worth his personal arrangement.

As it turns out, this is no small matter.A small number of officials from various ministries, but not too few, witnessed the iron lump being brought up again.In the courtyard, two rustic craftsmen who had never seen the world, one unhurriedly pulled the bracelet, while the other watched from the side, successively pulled up, stabilized, and re-stretched the [-]-jin and [-]-jin iron ingots. Let it go, firmly and effortlessly, and really by yourself.

Needless to say how astonished and excited the people in the audience were, their words and deeds and those who were watching the audience exchanged greetings and did not mention any answers. .It turns out that there are really such miracles and such ingenious things in the world!

The emperor was a little late, and then he heard the eunuch who was rushing back tell him about the trial situation of the chain hoist.

After hearing the eunuch's eloquent speech, His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a while, and immediately called Han Yanhui, Jin Rong, Fu Wang, and Wang Xian, and first asked Wang Xian if the thread structure could be used.

Wang Xian took a look at King Fu and replied: "We have arranged for a craftsman to try it. The screw thread is really easy to use, and it is easy to disassemble and maintain. But can it be used on a large scale, and what is the fastening effect for a long time? , You have to use it in fortifications before you dare to make a conclusion.”

　Book friends, remember this sentence, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

　　What I'm talking about is the writer, who has plenty of time and a good idea, and then something gets mixed up.
