Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 90 Improving Textile Technology

Jing Yi received 2 taels of silver from the restaurant sent by someone sent by Xiao Zhen, which was only a two-month share, Jing Yi was secretly surprised, it was too profitable to open a restaurant.At this rate, 12 taels of silver can be earned in a year.

She and Xiao Yilin share a 24-[-] share, so the restaurant can earn [-] taels of silver a year, which is quite a lot.It would be more profitable to open such a restaurant in the capital.

This is just a restaurant.In the future, the sales of soy sauce will take into account the purchasing power of ordinary people, although the price is not high, but the range is wide.That is for the people of the whole country.

As long as you know the benefits of soy sauce, it is estimated that everyone will buy it.The accumulation of a little makes a lot, and it is really not necessarily less than a restaurant.

Jing Yi thinks that this money can be allocated to the military expenditure of the Jin State, and the army of the whole country can benefit.

At that time, even if some people are jealous of Xiao Yilin's income, they will have scruples.

Both the restaurant and the soy sauce workshop are managed by people from Prince Jing's Mansion, so Jing Yi doesn't have to worry about it. She is now busy managing her own fields and researching cotton plucking machines, spinning machines and looms.

Jing Yi investigated and found that the textile technology of this era was very backward.

The current flower popping machine is a device for popping cotton that uses very simple wooden tools, which is not only inefficient but also requires a huge amount of labor for the flower poppers.

The cotton plucking equipment currently in use can pluck seven or eight catties of lint by one person after a day of exhausting work.This efficiency is simply low and cannot be lowered.

Jing Yi plans to design a popping machine with higher efficiency.

Not only did she design the pop-pin machine, but she also improved the spinning and weaving machines.

In this era, there are kudzu, hemp, silk, cotton and other materials. These materials have to go through a very complicated process from harvesting to threading and weaving into cloth.

Jing Yi spent a long time in a remote area when she was doing a task in her previous life, where she saw the weaving process of old coarse cloth.

The weaving process is extremely complicated, from picking cotton thread to weaving cloth through ginning, popping, spinning, threading, sizing, dyeing, chaotic thread, falling thread, warp thread, brushing thread, hedging, weaving, and hedging. There are 72 large and small processes, such as hanging machine, bolting cloth, weaving cloth and knitting machine, all of which are purely handcrafted.

There are many sub-processes in each process. It is amazing to imagine how much complicated labor is involved in a product.

There are many families in Yunxi Village who have looms and can weave some coarse cloth.Some villagers weave some coarse cloth to wear because they cannot afford cloth.

It's just that the loom takes a long time to weave a piece of cloth, and the efficiency is really low.

It is no wonder that the price of this ancient cloth is not low, and many people cannot afford cotton cloth.Not to mention silk and satin, which can only be worn by rich people and dignitaries.

In Yunxi Village, Jing Yi saw a lot of people wearing rough linen clothes. Not to mention that this kind of clothes are very uncomfortable to wear, and they don't keep warm when the weather is cold.

Jing Yi thought maybe she could increase the cotton production and lower the price of cotton.Then design more efficient spring flower machines, spinning machines and looms.Let the price of fabrics gradually come down in the future, so that people can afford cotton clothes.Cotton clothes can be worn in winter.

In this way, she can both make money and benefit mankind.

Anyway, when she comes here, she can't just make money or just think about revenge, at least revenge is not realistic now.She can also do something meaningful.Otherwise, her wood-type ability and the thousands of years of culture she inherited would be wasted.

Jing Yi set up a studio for himself in the wing room on the side of the new courtyard, where he can do some research in the future.

Jing Yi bought spinning wheels, looms and other equipment that are currently used for spinning and weaving, and then brought them into the studio.She drew pictures of the appearance of these devices, and then disassembled them one by one, and marked them with numbers, so as to fully understand their structure and principle.

Then Jing Yi began to transform these devices based on the knowledge in her mind.

Jing Yi was able to become an ace agent in her previous life, not only because of her good skills and medical skills, but also because she had a genius-like brain.

The knowledge she has learned involves all aspects.She needs to learn a lot because of her profession.She has to be able to use various weapons, various vehicles, and many repairs.This requires her to be proficient in machinery, weapons and other aspects of knowledge.

Sometimes in order to get close to the target person in a mission, one needs to learn other knowledge that is useful for the mission, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Jing Yi was knowledgeable in ancient times.

Even now, it is a piece of cake for Jing Yi to design some thermal weapons.

It's just that in this era of cold weapons, Jing Yi doesn't want to bring hot weapons that are too lethal to this world in advance.

Jing Yi first bought lead powder, made simple pencils for herself, and then began to draw drawings one by one. She also did a lot of calculations.

Lin Xiuhan has been coming to Yunxi Village frequently recently, and has become a frequent visitor to Jing Yi's house.

But now because everyone is familiar with him, Qiao Hong and the others are not as restrained when they see Lin Xiuhan.Liu Shi and Lin Xiuhan became more familiar with each other.She also appreciated Lin Xiuhan more.

When Lin Xiuhan arrived at Chu's house, Qiao Hong took him to Jingyi's studio. He saw some bookshelves and a long table in the room. There were some books on the bookshelves, and various wooden objects were placed on the long table. Components are very curious.

He knew that his brother had bought spinning machines, looms, and so on, and now that he saw these, he knew he had dismantled them all.

Lin Xiuhan picked up a component and looked at it, saying, "Jing Yan, why did you dismantle them all? Are you here?"

Jing Yi said: "I dismantled them to understand their internal structure and principles. The current pop-up machines, spinning machines, and looms are all too inefficient. I want to improve them to increase their output."

Lin Xiuhan's eyes sparkled when he heard the words, "Jing Yan, are you sure?"

Jing Yi said: "It shouldn't be very difficult. I have figured out their structure and principle now. The next step is to draw some pictures first, and then let the carpenters in the village try to make them. Take your time. As long as I It is enough to improve the cotton before it is harvested."

Lin Xiuhan saw a piece of paper on the table with many symbols he didn't recognize and asked curiously: "Jing Yan, what kind of symbol is this, why have I never seen it before?"

Jing Yi saw that it was a piece of paper she used for calculation, and it was filled with calculated numbers.

"Oh, that's a script commonly used in some other countries. It's very convenient for counting. I use it to calculate some data. This kind of script hasn't been introduced to our country yet, so you probably haven't seen it yet."

Lin Xiuhan's eyes shone strangely when he heard the words, "Jing Yan, do you know foreign characters? It is not an exaggeration to say that you are knowledgeable. Jing Yan, can you teach me this kind of characters?"

Jing Yi said: "This kind of writing is usually used for counting or arithmetic. It is what you usually call arithmetic. I think it is very convenient to use this kind of writing for calculation. Brother Lin, if you want to learn, I can teach you."
