Chapter 477: Show off tricks to attract and then master them, fourth update
With the previous businessmen’s foreshadowing, the rich people didn’t say anything, just watch if you ask us to.
Deseeding, loosening, spinning, and weaving cotton, yes, these are the four steps.
As for washing cotton, I don’t care. Looking at the operations of the weaver girls in front of me, I can still see the flowers unless they use a jacquard machine to weave cloth.
“Look, you guys, we didn’t have cotton at the beginning. It was only later introduced to the upper dynasties and then used to weave cloth.
In the past, we all used silk. To make clothes, people used hemp, ramie to weave cloth, and jute to make bags.
Of course, there is also a kind called kapok, which can be used as a filling for winter clothes and quilts, such as the current cotton, which is very warm. Bad.”
Li Chang first introduced the materials used to make clothes and the history of fabric development.
Everyone looked at it silently, we all understand what you said, and then what?
"You will think, what else is there? Of course it is technology. The earliest cotton was used Hammers are used to smash the cotton seeds, and hands are used to pick out the cotton seeds.
Now that we have cotton binding machines, this is especially true for those who play cotton. At first, we spun one thread, but now we spin three threads at a time.
The cloth feels slow and cannot keep up with the speed of spinning, because we have to do it one at a time.
You skilled craftsmen, please show us your real skills."
The head of the village first spoke to the wealthy households, and then extended his hand to signal to a group of weaver girls.
As a result, the speed of the weaver girls who had been working slowly before suddenly increased, and their skillful appearance made people couldn't help but secretly applaud.
Especially the cloth sellers, thinking about how much money they would make if the people under them could do this
After a quarter of an hour of "reward", Zhu Biao spoke up, and the Weaver Girls stopped. He made a move and saluted neatly, "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince"
Someone brought the money, several kilograms per person, no, Guan Guan, one Guan Guan, one hundred, Hongwu Tongbao was worth ten large copper coins.
"Everyone has seen that the weaver girls are skilled and have extraordinary skills. Can they be faster? Let me tell you, please take a look."
The head of the village stood up again at this time, With his words, the covering curtain was removed, revealing what was inside.
The big waterwheel is just a waterwheel. It still stays in the water, but it is stuck and does not rotate.
There are also three things with shelves, one of which has a shed.
The chief came to a piece of equipment and said, "Look at this, it's called a foot-operated force-saving linkage cotton binding machine. Please ask this weaver girl to operate it."
A weaver girl came to the cotton binding machine. A large pile of cotton with cotton seeds was placed next to it. She took a hook, hooked a large ball, and threw it into the feeding hopper above, stepping on it.
The rollers of the machine rotated rapidly, cotton came out from one end, and cotton seeds fell from one place. Seeing that a large ball of cotton was about to disappear, she casually hooked it up and added another ball.
"Let her do it first. Let's look at a shed for playing cotton. This weaver girl, please"The head of the village found another Weaver Girl.
The Weaver Girl came over with the cotton that had been removed from the cotton seeds, put it into the machine, put on a mask, and began to pedal.
As she moved, the cotton balls grew larger and popped out, indicating that they were ready.
"Follow me, the third one is the spinning machine. The spindles of our three-spindle pedal spinning wheel are placed horizontally, and the feet roll on them to produce three spindles at a time.
< p>This ingot is not made that much now, and it is hand-cranked. There are only twenty ingots, and they are placed vertically. "As Li Chang said, the third Weaver Girl came. Stand over, arrange the elastic cotton first, and then attach the joint to the spindle.
It’s easy after that, just watch and shake, twenty spindles rotate at the same time, and twenty threads are pulled out.
Rich households ""
They felt the power of technology, and they realized something was wrong from the time they tied cotton, why did they play cotton so fast
What is this now? Twenty spindles rotate at the same time.
The previous foot pedal was actually a foot pedal, a horizontal stick, stepped on it with bare feet, and then moved the feet back and forth to drive the stick to rotate.
Like a rolling pin, there is something connected at the other end of the stick to drive other parts to rotate.
The pedals at this moment are real pedals, and the pedaling action and transmission position are different.
The hand-operated spinning machine allows people to adjust the position back and forth to connect and disconnect the thread, while the person is standing.
Hey, everyone looked at the thing next to the waterwheel invariably. According to the steps, this should be made of fabric
Why bother putting it next to the waterwheel? It's water-powered.
"The last one, the weaver, connect it to the waterwheel, remove the card, and connect the wiring." The chief ordered.
You don’t have to wait for the third defensive line car. There were so many weaver girls slowly weaving a lot before.
The waterwheel rotated, and as soon as it was connected, the loom started to hum, and cloth was being woven at a speed visible to the eye.
"Partnership, I want a partnership, I want to grow cotton, I won't grow wheat anymore, I'll plow the wheat and plant cotton"
Someone couldn't control it and shouted loudly , to make money, the key to this speed is to save labor costs.
"Then you want to die." Zhu Xi looked over and said something very true.
You still dare to change the wheat field into a cotton field. After planting the wheat, you have to plant soybeans, and the grain field will grow cotton for you.
"Your Highness, forgive me, the common man said it wrong." Kneel down and kowtow quickly.
“Come on, let’s talk about it, you can’t really use the land that grows food to grow cotton. This hydraulic machine also has a jacquard machine.
And Xiaqiu Village has designed many kinds of patterns. The layout can be woven by adjusting the machine.
We need cotton now, but the land for growing grains is not available. We can plant it under the forest. There is always a suitable forest.
Once we succeed, we will turn the cotton and hemp fields on the plains into food fields, and then plant them in the woods.they. "
Zhu Xi waved his hand, asked the other party to stand up, and talked about the economics of planting under the forest.
People cannot go hungry, cotton can be used as food
" King Qin Your Highness, I am willing to rent the forest. Last night, Magistrate Yu talked about renting the forest and barren mountains. I am willing.
I find people to plant trees, get water, and grow cotton myself. There are no good trees in the barren mountains, so I just plant cotton instead of trees.
I will dig a well in the mountain, or divert water up the mountain. I want to grow cotton, and I want to rent land.
It just so happens that in the winter I will ask people to clear the land, transport it up, and plant it in the spring of next year. "
Shopkeeper Tao expressed his support to Zhu Xiang and supported this matter of making a fortune together.
"I am willing to rent it too. Give me a bad forest and I will hire someone to cut it down. He sold firewood and then grew cotton. "Another person shouted.
"Everyone, listen to me. "The village chief stood up again.
Everyone was quiet and waited for him to speak. Today, we saw the truth about what some businessmen just said about the most powerful technology in Xiaqiu Village.
"That leased land is Rent land, rent land with Henan Prefecture. Weaving is weaving, separate.
We don’t care what you rent the land for. If you want to join us in weaving, we have to discuss it separately.
I won’t tell you about the things built by my village, Xiaqiu. Isn’t it good for my village to make money on its own?
It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin who explain the truth and present the facts to the village. , and Xiaqiu Village agreed. ”
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone is, the village chief decided to let you talk like that before.
Give the prince and the king of Qin a few days of food and grass, and another 50,000 guan, as the prince and the king. The King of Qin is a beggar
The Crown Prince and the King of Qin are really short of money, and they can’t afford it from you. We in Xiaqiu Village have a lot of ways to make money. Please remember to collect it.
