736.736: Jenny Textile Machine!
Qin'an County lost a young master Rong Jiu. Everyone discussed it for a while and the heat dissipated.
The one who is most reluctant to part with Rongjiu is actually not the junior brothers of the county school, but the owner of the county restaurant. Without Rongjiu Young Master, the restaurant is missing a wealthy chef.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. The package that Cheng Qing asked someone to send to the capital was finally delivered. After layers of inspection, the package was delivered to the palace.
Cheng Qing asked the weaver to make several pairs of gloves for Meng Huaijin, all of which were the kind that could hold the pen with their fingers and not hinder their writing.
Of course, the quality that was given to Meng Huaijin was not sold to Xiao Yunting in the weaving workshop. The raw material of gloves was finer, softer and skin-friendly cashmere. Cashmere is not difficult to find, and it is difficult to separate cashmere from wool. Cheng Qing remembers that there was a combing machine in later generations that could mechanically separate cashmere from wool. Now she can't create such a machine out of thin air, and she can only rely on manual labor.
In addition to a few pairs of gloves and socks, there are two pairs of knee pads.
Cheng Qing wrote about how to use it in the letter, and Meng Huaijin touched the knee pad without saying a word.
People who practice martial arts have strong qi and blood and are not afraid of cold, and they do not feel cold.
But in the palace, the emperor's daily living places were burned with earth dragons, and anyone could freeze, but Meng Huaijin could not be frozen... He was not afraid of the cold, he liked to be missed by others, not because he was the emperor, but because of himself.
Even if he didn't become the emperor and Cheng Qing made a good thing, he would still not leave him behind.
The inner supervisor around him saw that he was in a good mood and said with a slight interest: "Mr. Cheng is thinking about His Majesty."
Meng Huaijin asked someone to put away the things Cheng Qing gave, and then carefully read the letter written by Cheng Qing.
The conflict between Northern Qi and the Great Wei can be resolved without fighting, turning Northern Qi into a "dumping land" of the Great Wei, making the Northern Qi economy dependent on the Great Wei. Northern Qi cannot launch a war, and they have to worry about being assimilated and annexed by the Great Wei.
Of course, this requires time to make arrangements and needs the development of the Great Wei itself. If Meng Huaijin had been in power for a long time and Cheng Qing had been an official for a long time, both of them would have the opportunity to see that day.
To achieve dumping, the price of goods sold to Northern Qi by the Great Wei Dynasty should be low.
If the people of Northern Qi compare the things from the two countries, they find that the things from the Great Wei are cheaper, so they will choose things from the Great Wei themselves.
Higher efficiency, better division of labor, and lower costs.
Cheng Qing said that the weaving workshop in Qin'an County is an attempt. Now it is to use manpower to the extreme. When the manpower is developed to the extreme, something that can replace manpower should appear:
"Wind can drive kites, break branches, sunlight can dry clothes, water can turn water wheels, mills, coal ignition can keep warm, tin oil is more powerful than coal, senior brother, right by our side, there are many ‘energy’ that can replace human power, we just lack methods."
Cheng Qing said in the letter that she was asking the weaving workshop to study a textile machine that can spin multiple yarns at the same time, and said that this is not a very difficult technology. However, no one who had been in contact with looms would think about improving the technology all day long, lighting the lamp and boiling oil, and the mother spinning the daughter and spinning the looms. The looms never stop, but not enough yarns weaving - this is the case in textiles, and the same is true for other industries. There are many smart craftsmen in Dawei, but the craftsmen lack initiative because they have made great achievements and are requisitioned. If they are lucky, they have some silver rewards. If they are lucky, they are bad. The technological innovation makes people greedy, and the craftsmen have no life.
The court does not protect or encourages it, and no one will innovate technology.
Meng Huaijin read it several times, only regretting that Cheng Qing's letter was too short and he could not write more content.
He knew that since Cheng Qing said this, he would not only improve the loom, but also have other ideas. If he didn't say it out now, he felt that the Great Wei Dynasty could not implement it now, and he would be even more anxious and angry after watching it.
Meng Huaijin is now quite anxious and angry.
We hope that the situation in the northwest will stabilize soon and transfer Cheng Qing back to Beijing as soon as possible. If you have any ideas, the two of us can discuss it in person, which is much faster than writing a letter.
...
The textile machine mentioned by Cheng Qing in his letter to Meng Huaijin is the famous "Jenny Textile Machine".
Cheng Qing had no choice.
At first, she didn't expect this. He Wan took over Xiao Yunting's order and thought of OEM methods to make up for the shortage of female workers in the weaving workshop. As long as they could provide enough raw materials, a large number of women from ordinary and poor families in Qin'an County were temporary workers reserved by the weaving workshop.
Although the craftsmanship of temporary workers was uneven, He Wan wasted a lot of thoughts during supervision, the biggest problem was not this group of temporary women workers, but the supply of raw materials.
Crocheted socks and gloves are not available!
Whether it is cotton, twine or wool, the predecessors are "yarn". After the animal hair and plant fiber are processed, they are twisted repeatedly to spin into extremely thin "yarn". Then they are combined into threads from yarn. The spinning speed cannot keep up. The faster the female workers crochet, the more tight the supply of wool.
This incident made He Wan frustrated. Cheng Qing thought of the "Jenny Textile Machine". Although this small loom was written into modern history books and was regarded as the beginning of the first industrial revolution. After the first generation of Jenny Textile Machine was released, it immediately increased the effectiveness of spun cotton yarn by eight times... This is the magical artifact that He Wan urgently needed.
Cheng Qing is going to jump out and say that the earth is round, and that "the sky is round and the place is round" is wrong. Nothing "six yuan is used" is useless, and others will think she is crazy!
But in the remote northwest county, she attacked a small textile machine, who could take care of her?
At most, others think Cheng Qing is a little unemployed.
Cheng Qing found a craftsman and a loom. He first disassembled a loom and then restored it. He basically understood the current principles of the loom.
Then, she improved with the craftsman, and she was responsible for making requirements and explaining the principles, and the craftsman was responsible for realizing her ideas.
Jenny's textile machine is not complicated. In fact, it just turns one spindle into multiple spindles. Through the driving of the shaft and the rotary wheel, it can spin multiple spindles at the same time.
When Cheng Qing wrote to Meng Huaijin, she had just started researching. When Meng Huaijin received the letter, the first "Jenny Textile Machine" should have been released. After trying the effect, He Wan couldn't speak. It was okay for Shao Dahu to be the top scholar who passed the sixth yuan was the smartest person in the world. One day it was possible to create a textile machine that was not operated by anyone!
After being shocked, He Wan had already thought of something farther apart.
If she was in the south, what other weaving workshop would she open? She should sell this kind of "He's textile machine", and she would definitely make a fortune!
"Xiaolang, this-"
"It's okay, let the craftsmen do more first, replace all your weaving workshops with this new textile machine, and then sell the textile machine to the south when it is freed."
Dawei has no patent law. Selling textile machines can make money, but it will not make money for a lifetime. As long as the textile machines are spread, they will be dismantled and imitated soon.
