Time flies very quickly, and it looks like it is late March.

Standing by the river and looking at it, the river surface nearly a hundred meters wide was rippling, and I think the snow in the upper reaches of the Yellow River has melted.

The level of the Wei River has risen a lot, at least the exposed river beaches cannot be seen in winter.

The willows swaying on both sides of the river bank, and some early wild flowers have begun to compete for beauty. You can smell the fragrance floating in the air when you walk on the road.

The construction of Chinatown is better than that of a day. There are new changes every day. Different shops open every day, and more and more merchants and people gather here.

If Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had not bought all the land within a radius of ten miles, someone would have probably started to enclose and build houses at this time.

As the owner of this period, Wang also hired nearly 10,000 workers to carry out three shifts of construction in order to rush work. Anyway, there were electric lights at night, so Wang was just wasting a little diesel, which was considered a small amount of money.

As long as all projects can be completed in time, these expenses can be earned in just a few days.

With the gradual completion of Jingyang Wharf, many large ships from north to south have begun to go north along the Wei River to Jingyang.

In the past, most merchants docked cargo ships on the docks south of Chang'an City, because they were off the ship and they were Chang'an, so they could buy and sell goods or carry goods for convenience.

But since Wang Ye’s Jingyang Wharf was gradually completed, the situation has been different. Buying goods from Jingyang and then hiring ox carts to transport them to Chang'an Wharf, no matter whether it is time-consuming or cost, it is far from the convenience of driving the ship directly to Jingyang Wharf.

Therefore, many merchants docked their ships directly to Jingyang. If there was any cargo that had to be bought in Chang'an, they just needed to dock in Chang'an, which was nothing.

For this reason, the county magistrate of Chang'an County came to Wang Ye specially. Because of the emergence of Jingyang Wharf, the income of Chang'an Wharf has decreased by more than 40% or 50%, which directly affected the tax revenue of Chang'an County and directly touched the interests of many people.

But the king still did his own thing. He knew that Li Yuan would definitely not care about such nostalgic business. Whether it was the taxes in Chang'an County or the taxes in Jingyang County, they would eventually be paid to the treasury, which had no impact on Li Yuan.

The king did not mess with the backers behind Chang'an wharf, nor was he afraid of them. After all, they also had to consider Wang Ye's current background and status.

Of course, Wang himself believes in harmony and wealth. If he really gets angry, he will give some benefits at that time. Anyway, he will definitely continue to operate the dock.

As for Chinatown so prosperous? Because there is no curfew here, whether it is an arena or a dock, street lights are on at night.

In addition to street lights, Baruo's guards patrol continuously for twelve hours a day. Even if someone drinks too much at night, they will be immediately dissuaded by the guards. If they encounter tough problems, Ma Zhou will come forward to deal with it.

Open all-weather business, which was unique in ancient times when spiritual civilization construction was extremely scarce. Since the opening of the first brothel in Jiaofangsi, the night in Chinatown has never appeared again.

······

However, Wang also brought a large number of people to the river today, which was not the progress of the project to inspect Chinatown.

By the Weishui River, upstream of the wharf, Wang Ye was staring at a strange machine at this time.

The machine is as big as a carriage. The core of the machine is a coil composed of two piles of copper wires. It is now fixed on an iron rod. One end of the iron rod is connected to a gear, which is probably to be embedded in the water truck.

Two copper wires extend out at the other end, fixed on two grooves, one red and one blue.

Wang is not a technical resident, but when I was collecting information, I have seen such a power generator, which is basically an enlarged version of a hand-crank generator.

But what made Wang speechless was that the two black and black stones wrapped outside the coil were unable to believe that these two magnets could generate electricity no matter how hard they looked at them.

"Li De, I remember the magnets on the drawings, it's not like this..." Wang Ye's mouth twitched, thinking that you should polish them at least, why just move two magnets to use.

The two Yan Lide brothers next to him blushed when they heard this. It’s not that they didn’t want to polish the stone, but that there was a reason why the two brothers chose these two huge magnets.

"City Lord, don't judge the stone by your appearance. These two magnets are powerful. If you stand close, you will be attracted by them if you have a little iron on your body." Yan Lide explained.

Wang didn't understand that the magnets were still divided into magnetic force. When he heard Yan Lide slapped his chest and put it in a curious way, he took out a copper plate and threw it at the magnet.

With a "ding" sound, the copper plate was quickly absorbed in mid-air.

Wang Ye secretly smacked his tongue. He had seen modern rubidium magnets. When he attracted each other, he could easily pinch off a kidney machine.

Seeing this, Yan Lide smiled and said, "City Lord, as you see, we have used a lot of ways to polish these two magnets, but all the iron tools will be directly absorbed and there is no way to polish them."

"Later, I suggested finding a stonemason who is very skilled in kung fu, but Dalang was afraid that it would break it and could not find a replacement for a while, so he moved them to use it." Yan Liben continued.

Wang Ye nodded when he heard this. Indeed, he had not copied the method of handling magnets to the two brothers. The best way now is to rely on the superb stonemason to slowly knock it.

"Let's take a look first. I'll give you the method of forging magnets. I remember what Ming-forging is called. You can study it yourself after you go back." Wang didn't like to study these things, but the two brothers Yan Lide were happy when they heard this.

"It would be great to have a special forging technique to deal with this magnet, so I will order people to start assembling it. The city lord and Erlang wait for a while." Yan Lide was very excited when he heard another novel technology. After saying that, he began to command the installation of the generator.

In just one stick of incense, the unsightly generator was connected by Yan Lide and others and a water truck.

Yan Liben, who was standing next to Wang Ye, happily saw this and took out a light bulb. The top of the light bulb was connected with two wires, one red and one blue. This was the finished product that Wang Ye bought from Hyundai.

After he installed the light bulb on the two red and blue grooves on the generator, he pointed to a switch-shaped device. Chaowang, who was somewhat expectant, also asked: "City Lord, are you here or me?"

"Haha, come on." The king didn't care. Seeing Yan Liben looking expectant, he replied with a smile.

Yan Liben was happy when he heard this, turned to the riverside and shouted, "Dalang, I'm fine, you can start the water truck quickly."

After Yan Liben shouted, Wang Ye saw the water wheel by the river slowly turning, and as the water wheel slowly turned, the copper coil in front of him also began to rotate slowly.

Then, the coil turns faster and faster...

At this time, Yan Lide ran back with a group of craftsmen with anticipation, and shouted while running: "How is it? How is it? Is it bright?"

Wang Ye was so amused and laughed at him, pointing at the trembling Yan Liben and said, "This kid hasn't turned the switch yet."

Yan Liben was a little overexpected at this time, but his whole body was stiff. He was afraid that the experiment would fail, and he was afraid that something bad would happen. After all, this generator was the first time to experiment.

However, Yan Lide frowned and ran to the generator, and pressed the switch of the light without saying a word.

No surprises.

"It's on!!" Wang also pointed to the light and said excitedly.

"It's bright, it's really bright..." Yan Liben murmured as he looked at the light bulb that emitted a glimmer of light.
Chapter completed!
