I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 161 The epoch-making pinnacle hydraulic loom!
The new papermaking workshop was built in the east courtyard of Huangzhuang, while the hydraulic loom was built in the west courtyard of Huangzhuang.

Moreover, after the first hydraulic loom was put into use, the construction of the second hydraulic loom has already begun.

More than 8000 parts, half of which have been made, densely covered most of the yard, and some have nowhere to stay.

A few people stood on the side, watching such a vast scene, suddenly speechless.

Even the well-informed Xue Qingzhi was inexplicably shocked, and sighed loudly: "Good guy! There are so many parts alone, how big should the completed hydraulic loom be?"

"Hey!" Guo Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to point under the bamboo shed: "There are more than 8000 parts, a total of [-] old carpenters with many years of experience, plus a few hydraulic saws, it takes about three or four days to finish all the parts. parts!

Then there is assembly, even with my guidance, it will take at least more than a day! "

Because he wasn't in a hurry, and he needed to normalize the production and assembly in the future, he intentionally relaxed his time.

Moreover, he also signed high-priced confidentiality contracts with these nineteen old carpenters.

The most important thing is that he intentionally divides them into ten groups to make parts, and then carry out the final assembly.

In this way, the ten groups of carpenters do not interfere with each other.Each group will only make parts that belong to its own part, and nothing else.

This will also prevent others from learning.

The parts of half the yard are scattered everywhere.The few of them looked around with great interest, even if they knew it was a hydraulic loom, but these parts alone can fool you!
There are also several barrel carts lined up along the river bank, each driving a hydraulic saw, which reciprocates continuously to do work, and is used to cut wood.It is several times faster than manual work.

When he was young, Guo Yi led several people into the newly built textile workshop.

With the sound of clicking, a huge monster appeared in front of him.

It is three meters high, 7 meters long, and more than four meters wide. Four warp frames are fixed on it.Use a large water wheel, and a barrel car to drive.

Existing bobbin car, and small waterwheel can't move at all.A large waterwheel with a height of more than six meters was specially built, crossed by a huge log, and erected on both sides of the river.

Not only is the pedal driven by a waterwheel, but even the shuttle is an automatic mechanical shuttle driven by a waterwheel, pulled back and forth by two connecting rods.

In this way, only two workers are needed to change the warp rack.

With the continuous rotation of the waterwheel, the crankshaft is connected to the pedals, and it keeps turning up and down back and forth.The bobbin car drives the mechanical shuttle, which shuttles from left to right.

And the four pieces of cloth woven below were circled evenly and slowly.

Almost purely mechanized.

The sound of clicking, clicking, and clicking sounded endlessly, as if it would never stop.

This hydraulic loom doesn't know how tired it is...

Taoist, Xue Qingzhi, and Lu Zixi were dumbfounded.

Can you still weave like this?

Not only have they seen ordinary looms, but Lu Zixi often weaves by himself.But how big is the loom in their home?
It's amazing. It's more than one meter wide and one meter long.

And what about this big guy in front of him?
It can hold up to four ordinary looms... Moreover, there is no need for people to sit there and step back and forth.As long as there is water flow, this thing can run day and night.

No wonder!
No wonder Guo Yi swears that the looms are more than 40 times that of ordinary looms. No wonder he said that he will use a lot of cheap cloth to lower food prices!

With this large hydraulic loom in front of us, weaving is as easy as drinking water...

But save a lot of labor costs, what does this mean?
The Taoist stood beside him, staring at the loom in front of him without blinking, and nodded solemnly: "With such a magic weapon, a large amount of cheap cloth will flow into the cloth market continuously.

Moreover, if the manual weaving money in the middle is omitted, the price can be reduced by [-] to [-]%!

In this way, we can quickly occupy the fabric market! "

"Yeah!" Xue Qingzhi immediately nodded and said in agreement: "When a large amount of cheap cloth keeps hitting the cloth market, maybe Erlang's prediction can really come true!
If those fabric shops allow us to occupy the fabric market, we will take the opportunity to occupy it; if they don't want us to occupy it, they will definitely gather a lot of money to eat up our cheap cloth!

But if the cloth is really piled up and cannot be sold, then we will pay the spring tax!
And in that way, the people will also have a lot of food in surplus!It's the same idea!
As Erlang said, once people have money, their ability to resist risks will be enhanced! "

The Taoist nodded in agreement, then looked at Guo Yi and asked, "Then I will send an order to Kuizhou Road, let them buy hemp silk there, and send it back quickly?"

Kuizhou Road is also rich in green hemp and wild hemp. In addition to farming, many people also produce hemp silk and weaving as sideline jobs.

However, they are also affected by the general environment, resulting in a large amount of hemp silk being unsalable.It can be said to be worse, the house leaks and it rains continuously.

If they can buy the unsalable hemp silk from them, it may bring them a glimmer of life.

"Okay! Comers are welcome, the more the better!"

With the hydraulic loom, there is no need to worry about too much hemp.This is the first hydraulic loom, and the second one is half finished.

In the future, there will be a third, a fourth, and a large weaving workshop with hundreds of hydraulic looms.

In that way, not only would there be a large amount of cheap cloth in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the surplus cloth could also be exported.

Moreover, many people who make a living by producing hemp silk will no longer worry about the unsalable problem of hemp silk.

Perhaps, if we study the water conservancy spinning machine again, we can also use it to enter the era of semi-mechanization in advance.

But Lu Zixi suddenly exclaimed at this time: "This hydraulic loom can weave linen, so can it also weave silk and satin?"

The three of them couldn't help being taken aback when they heard this.Textile silk and satin?
"Yes! We can still weave silk and satin, and give the Wei family a knife!" The Taoist suddenly regained his spirits.

The first thing he thought of was the Wei family.

The Wei family monopolizes almost one-third of the silk weaving industry on Jinghu North Road.

And once the water conservancy loom is used to enter the silk weaving industry, the purchase price of raw silk can be increased with the subtracted labor costs.

The increase in the purchase price of raw silk means that a large amount of raw silk can be snatched away.

The more raw silk they took away, correspondingly, the Wei family and other silk merchants would take away less raw silk.

greatly reduced.

At this thought, Guo Yi is also heartbroken.Take the opportunity to stab the Wei family...

However, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!
This is a death feud!
The kind that never dies!
Once the Wei family is driven crazy, then the Prince of Chu's mansion will definitely be unable to eat it!
Not worth the loss.
