Villager of Daming

Chapter 477: Use dazzling tricks to attract and then master them (fourth update)
With the foreshadowing of the previous merchants, the wealthy households didn't say anything, and we just watched it if you asked us to.

Deseeding cotton, loosening it, spinning thread, and weaving cloth, yes, these are the four steps.

As for washing cotton, don't worry about it. Looking at the weaver girl in front of you, can you still see the flowers?Unless they weave with jacquard looms.

"Look, everyone, at the very beginning! We didn't have cotton, it was introduced to the upper dynasty later, and then it was used for weaving.

In the past, we used silk to make clothes, and common people used hemp and ramie to weave cloth, and jute twisted rope to make bags.

Of course, there is also a kind of kapok, which can be used as a filler for winter clothes and quilts, such as the current cotton, which is poor in keeping warm. "

The head of the village first introduced the materials used to make clothes and the history of fabric development.

Everyone looked silent, we all understand what you said, and then what?

"Everyone will think, what else? Naturally, there is technology. The first cotton was smashed with a hammer, and the cotton seeds were picked by hand.

Now there is a cotton tying machine, especially for cotton plucking. At the beginning, one thread was spun, but now three threads are spun at a time.

The feeling of weaving is slow and can't keep up with the speed of spinning, because we always have to slow down.

All skillful hands, show everyone your real skills, please! "

The head of the village first talked to the wealthy households, and then extended his hand to a group of Weaver Girls.

So the Weaver Girls, who had been working slowly before, suddenly increased their speed, and their skillful appearance made people applaud secretly.

Especially the merchants who sell cloth, thinking that the people under their hands are all-powerful, how much money do they have to make?
"Reward!" After a quarter of an hour passed, Zhu Biao called out, and the Weaver Girls stopped their movements and saluted neatly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Some people brought money, a few catties per person, no, in terms of guan, one guan, one hundred, and Hongwu Tongbao as a big copper coin of ten renminbi.

"Everyone has seen that the weaving girls are skilled and skilled, so can they go faster? Let me tell you, yes! Please see!"

At this time, the chief stood up again, and with his voice, the covering curtain was removed, revealing the things inside.

The big waterwheel is a waterwheel, still in the water, but stuck, not spinning.

There are three more with shelves, one of which has a shed.

The head of the village came to a piece of equipment: "Look at this, it's called a foot-operated energy-saving linkage cotton binding machine, let this weaver girl operate it."

A weaver girl placed a large pile of cotton with cotton seeds next to the cotton tying machine. She took a hook, hooked a large ball, threw it into the upper hopper, and stepped on it.

The rollers of the machine rotated quickly, 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 hooked it casually and added another ball.

"Let her do it first. Let's look at a shed for picking cotton. This weaver girl, please!" The head of the village looked for another weaver girl.

Zhinu came over with the cotton that had been seeded from there, put it into the machine, put on a mask, and started to move.

As she moved, cotton balls appeared in large balls, which meant that they were ready to play.

"Come with me, the third is the spinning machine. The spindles of our three-spindle pedal spinning wheel are placed horizontally, and the feet roll on it, and three spindles are produced at a time.

Now this ingot is not made so much, and it is hand-cranked, there are only twenty ingots, and they are placed vertically.Come on, the weaver girl. "

Following the chief's words, the third weaver girl stood up, first sorted the cotton that had been spun, and then connected the splices to the ingots.

After that, it was simple, while watching and shaking, twenty ingots rotated at the same time, and twenty threads were pulled out.

Wealthy households: "..."

They felt the power of technology, and found that the situation was wrong from the beginning of plucking cotton. How could they pluck cotton so quickly?
What is this now?Twenty ingots turn simultaneously.

The previous pedal is actually a foot pedal, a horizontal stick, on which bare feet step on, and then the feet move back and forth, which drives the stick to rotate.

Like a rolling pin, there is something connected at the other end of the stick, which drives other parts to rotate.

The pedals at this moment are real pedals, and the pedaling action and transmission position are different.

The hand spinning machine allows people to adjust the position back and forth to pick up the broken thread, and the person is standing.

Swish, everyone looked at the thing next to the waterwheel in unison. According to the steps, this should be weaving?
Why put it next to the waterwheel?Don't even think about it!Water powered!
"The last one, weaving, connecting to the waterwheel, sending off the card, and wiring." The chief ordered.

There is no need to wait for the third line of defense car to provide the thread, so many Weaver Girls have weaved a lot slowly before.

The water wheel rotated, and after a continuous movement, the loom was seen to move, and the cloth was woven at a speed visible to the eyes.

"Partnership, I want a partnership, I want to grow cotton, I don't grow wheat anymore, I plan the wheat, and plant cotton..."

Some people couldn't control it and shouted loudly that they wanted to make money. The key was to save labor costs at this speed.

"Then you want to die." Zhu Xi looked over and said something very true.

Do you still dare to change the wheat fields into cotton fields?After the wheat is planted, you have to plant soybeans, and the grain field will plant cotton for you?
"Your Highness, forgive me, the grass people are wrong." This one quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Come on, let's talk about it, you can't really use the land that grows grain to grow cotton. This hydraulic plant also has a jacquard machine.

Moreover, Xiaqiu Village has designed a variety of pattern layouts, which can be woven by adjusting the machine at that time.

Now we need cotton, and the land for growing grain is not enough. We can plant it under the forest, and there will always be suitable forests to grow it.

Once successful, we will turn the cotton and hemp land on the flat land into grain land, and then plant them in the woods. "

Zhu Xing waved his hand to make the other party stand up, saying that under-forest planting is economical.

People can't be hungry, can cotton be eaten?

"Your Highness King Qin, I am willing to rent the forest. Last night, Magistrate Yu talked about renting the forest and the barren mountain. I am willing.

I find someone to plant trees, get water, and grow cotton by myself. There are no good trees in the barren hills, so I just plant cotton instead of trees.

I'm going to dig wells on the mountain, or divert water up the mountain, I want to grow cotton, and I want to rent land.

Just in winter, I asked someone to clear the land, transport it up, and plant it in the spring of next year. "

Shopkeeper Tao expresses his position to Zhu Xi, supporting this joint fortune.

"I'm willing too. I'll rent it too. Give me a bad forest. I'll hire someone to chop it up and sell firewood, and then plant cotton." Another person shouted.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me." The chief stood up again.

Everyone be quiet and wait for him to speak. Today, I have seen the fact that some businessmen just said that Xiaqiu Village is the most skilled.

"The leased land is rented land, rented from Henan Province. The weaving is weaving, and it is obtained separately.

We don't care what you rented the land to grow. If you want to weave cloth with us, we have to discuss it separately.

I won’t tell you about the things made by my Xiaqiu Village. Isn’t it good for my Xiaqiu Village to make money by myself?
It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Qin who reasoned with the village, presented the facts, and explained the reasons, and Xiaqiu Village agreed. "

Seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic, the village chief took it easy and asked you to talk like that before.

Give the crown prince and the king of Qin a few days of food and grass, and then give [-] guan. When the prince and the king of Qin are begging for food?

The Crown Prince and the King of Qin are really short of money, and they will not be able to reach you. Our Xiaqiu Village must have a way to make money.
