Ji Yuan asked in surprise, "Isn't a water mill just for hulling rice and grinding flour?"
Although a water mill can indeed greatly reduce the labor involved in hulling rice and grinding flour, in terms of value creation, it's still not as good as the Glass Workshop, right?
Fu Tinghan: "If the water mill can succeed, then I can make a hydraulic press machine."
Ji Yuan looked confused, "What is that?"
But seeing Zhao Hanzhang's eyes light up, he knew it was something good.
Zhao Hanzhang: "You just focus on your research. Whatever you need, tell me, and I'll have someone get it for you."
Fu Tinghan smiled and said, "I know. Water mills existed since the Han dynasty, and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry should know how to make them. I merely drew a diagram based on the power system, but it might not be correct. The current water mills are single-belt driven, just to avoid high costs if mistakes occur."
Ji Yuan: "Ministry of Industry?"
