After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 305 Textile Machine

As soon as Xu Zhenying heard the three words "hand crank, wheel puller, and weaving" combined, Leng Buding's face changed slightly in shock. Xu Yinxi had never seen Xu Zhenying so gloomy before, and immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhenying stood up suddenly. Regardless of the other merchants in the room, she took Mrs. Luo's hand and said in an urgent tone: "Where are the things? Did the old lady bring them?"

"Bring it, bring it! Just put it on the carriage outside!" Seeing that Xu Zhenying was very anxious, Xu Yinxi quickly waved the book and motioned to his men to get it.

Then I heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Xu Zhenying was restless. Even several secretaries noticed Xu Zhenying's mood, and they were immediately curious about her.

What is it that makes His Highness so anxious?
Xu Zhenying took Mrs. Luo's hand and asked for details, "Does that thing also have a shuttle that can be pushed back and forth and can be wrapped with thread?"

Mrs. Luo seemed to know that her nephew might have really left something extraordinary, and now she became anxious, "Oh, Your Highness really failed me. I...I really can't understand that thing. Anyway, it’s just a few frames, a few wheels, and a few pieces of wood, pieced together! My nephew has also been a weirdo since he was a child. It is said that he likes to dismantle things and do some craftsman’s work since he was a child, and his parents are very happy for this. It was so grand, and then he somehow got into trouble with the people from the Weaving Bureau, and his whole family died. Could it be that this thing was really the cause? "

Xu Zhenying also calmed down, "Let's move the things here first. If we are lucky enough, we may be able to obtain an artifact that can change the world like cement."

"Sacred weapon!" Xu Yinxi's expression also changed slightly.

Cement is already a fairy tale, but now comes another one?
How astonishing is something that can be compared with cement!

Somehow, when Xu Zhenying mentioned cement, everyone became a little anxious.

This might mean that the whole family would witness another miracle.

Originally, they were not lucky enough to witness the last time cement was produced. They could only hear Ming Xiaoshuang and the others talking about how mysterious the scene was at that time, which made them itchy.

This time, it's their turn, right?

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to it a little more.

Mrs. Luo, on the other hand, was a little stressed. She looked at the room full of people who were thinking about her, but she was a little worried about disappointing Xu Zhenying.

Soon someone brought the things in, Xu Zhenying immediately stepped forward, and the rest of the people also gathered around.

"Your Highness, these are just some wooden sticks and a round wheel. It's hard to tell what kind of divine object it is."

"Does this have to be put up?"

When Xu Zhenying saw the prototype of those things, he was overjoyed!
Why does this look so much like... a spinning jenny?

day!
Although she is proficient in chemistry, she also studied biology, physics, and mathematics in high school, so she is quite familiar with chemical engineering things. She remembers the rough raw materials for glass, cement, fertilizers, etc., and went to the research institute to feel out the ingredients. The ratio will be created sooner or later.

The only compost recipe I learned from my ex-boyfriend.

But she was completely confused about other industries and agriculture that a dynasty needed to develop.

For example, although she had always known that the beginning of the Industrial Revolution was the birth of the Spinning Jenny, she had only seen pictures of the Spinning Jenny in textbooks. It would have been impossible for her to create it out of thin air.

If we want to realize that everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear, we need a master who is proficient in agriculture and a person who knows how to make a spinning jenny!

And now, change is just around the corner!

Xu Zhenying's hands were shaking with excitement. As soon as she saw those accessories, she knew that Mrs. Lin's distant nephew was studying the Jenny Spinning Machine!

No, the wheel of history came to a halt, and the Jenny Spinning Machine became an object of the Golden State!

Xu Zhenying couldn't conceal her excitement. Could she really be the child of luck?

She immediately shouted: "Quick, quick, quick, find some carpenters, it's urgent!"

"Qu Min, help me cancel all my schedule for today! By the way, call Dean Luo here too!"

"Dean Luo seems to have taken leave to go home to visit relatives!"

"Then send some people to capture him! Just say that the institute's budget for next year may be secured! If it's too late, it will be gone! I don't believe he won't rush back in a hurry!"

Ok.

Your Highness will always have only one way to deal with Dean Luo.

That is the institute’s budget.

As we all know, although research institutes make money, they also burn money! Just talk about how much investment was made in the early stage when developing that firearm, and how much iron was purchased!

Suddenly, everyone in the room was sweating nervously.

Although they really didn't understand the value of this pile of wooden shelves, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao squatted on the ground regardless of it, lost in thought over the parts scattered on the ground. They also vaguely felt that they were afraid of seeing something today. Incredible stuff.

Soon, several famous craftsmen in Jinzhou Prefecture were arrested by the soldiers.

They were running out of breath, and even one of the craftsmen's shoes ran away. As soon as the craftsmen entered the house, they ran around like headless flies, "Where is it, where is it, where is the sacred object?!"

The soldiers who went to catch them were also sweating. They pointed at the thing at Xu Zhenying's feet and said: "Quick, quick, quick, your highness, there is the pile of wood at your feet!"

The craftsmen did not bother to say hello to Xu Zhenying. Instead, they all squatted down like Xu Zhenying, and some even sat down on the ground.

Everyone had no choice but to step back and make room.

Xu Zhenying immediately said: "Everyone, if my guess is correct, this should be a loom. Just this thing, see how it is assembled, and restore it immediately. Mrs. Luo, all the accessories are here Right?"

Mrs. Luo's head was also sweating. She was quite sure at first, but when Xu Zhenying asked, she was not so confident, so she had to say: "I will immediately ask my daughter-in-law to check the warehouse from beginning to end. If there is anything, I will send it immediately!"

Xu Zhenying urged: "Quick!"

The leading carpenter Wu pulled out the wooden strips and frowned: "Your Highness, are you sure this is a loom? It has been disassembled like this, and it is a mortise and tenon structure. Logically speaking, it can be assembled into countless shapes. Can you give me a rough idea first? Tell us, what should the loom look like?”

The attentive Xu Yinxi immediately brought paper and charcoal and handed them to Xu Zhenying, and then Xu Zhenying began to search for bits and pieces about the Jenny spinning machine that she had learned more than ten years ago.

"The looms we use now are still the oldest ones, which have never undergone technological innovation and are inefficient. The original loom had two strands of warp wrapped at the bottom, one on the top and one on the bottom, with the horizontal one in the middle. Weft thread, click the reed frame on the left, change the positions of the upper and lower warp threads, and insert the weft thread at the same time, you can weave a piece of cloth. But the reason why the old loom is inefficient is that there is only one spindle. You see, this loom has eight spindles. spindle! This means that the efficiency of this loom is equivalent to that of eight old looms!”

Not only Carpenter Wu, but everyone in the hall was shocked!

Weaving was the lifeline industry of the Zhou Dynasty, so everyone, regardless of age or sex, knew how much handwork and time it took to weave cloth.

But according to Xu Zhenying's description, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the eight yarn spindles on it!

If it really succeeds, the efficiency of this textile will be greatly improved!

And people need rest, but machines don’t!

In this way, increased efficiency means that the price of fabrics will decrease, the price of clothing will decrease, and more people will be able to wear high-quality and low-priced clothing!

This is indeed a unique technological innovation!
Xu Zhenying only regrets that she is an engineering student, otherwise she would be able to draw it clearly no matter how high or low it is.

But Carpenter Wu nodded, "Your Highness, I probably understand. Let me try to assemble it first."

Xu Yinxi immediately told Pang Xiaohua: "Go find some silk thread."

Seeing everyone gathered here, and receiving the gesture from Xu Zhenying's eyes, Xu Yinxi immediately said to the other merchants: "Everyone, it seems it will take a long time, and it is almost lunch time. Why don't you go to our office first?" Dining in the cafeteria.”

Seeing the craftsmen all gathered around the pile of things, discussing and gesticulating how to put them together, it seemed that it would take a long time. Even if everyone was curious, they had to restrain themselves and follow Xu Yinxi to the cafeteria to eat.

As soon as they left, Xu Zhenying immediately sent people to move the pile of raw materials and craftsmen to a safe house, and even sent soldiers to guard it.

Although she trusts the people under her, the businessmen are too late to gain anything. If someone smart enough to deduce clues from them and figure out the Jenny Spinning Machine before them, then she will suffer a big loss!
Luo Qingzhou arrived late at night.

As soon as he arrived at the government office, he was taken to the safe house, and then he saw more than a dozen craftsmen walking around in the safe house, pointing, and talking loudly from time to time. It was obvious that there were constant disputes.

Luo Qingzhou walked into the house lightly, almost with a pious attitude.

As soon as they entered, they discovered that there were more than twenty people in the room, all of them were craftsmen from the institute, some with outstanding physics scores in the school, and there were even a few women. They were noisy around a half-finished frame.

It didn't matter, but after a quick look, I realized that Xu Zhenying and Xu Yinxi were also in the house. Luo Qingzhou hurriedly walked over, but Xu Zhenying waved his hand directly, "Go and take a look, everything is there, a semi-finished product. There are shuttles, handwheels, and spindles. I guess someone should have improved the weaving." But the problem now is that it cannot be restored. I have invited several women from the cloth shop who are good at weaving and craftsmen to help."

Regardless of his tired body, Luo Qingzhou immediately became interested and said, "Okay."

"Dean Luo, you are here. Come and take a look. We have been studying for an entire afternoon, but we have not been able to restore the spinning machine that His Highness mentioned. In the afternoon, we pieced together a prototype, but it is a pity that it cannot be shaken. , and it’s easy to get the thread stuck.”

"Yes, there are still these roller spindles. I don't know where they should be installed."

The woman who is good at weaving also said: "Yes, that time before, this conveyor belt could not transport the silk thread at all. His Highness said that this machine has been improved and its efficiency has been greatly improved, but we really can't imagine how it works." "

Luo Qingzhou was naturally confused.

He could only take the drawings and study them carefully.

Xu Zhenying saw that everyone was noisy and seemed to have no clue, so she clapped her hands: "Okay, everyone is here. Let me explain the working principle of this spinning machine again. To understand the working principle of Jenny spinning machine, first of all We need to understand the spinning process. Let’s take apart everything one by one and restore its position one by one according to the drawings!”

Xu Yinxi immediately took out the blueprint that had been touched by everyone and turned gray and wrinkled. "Your Highness, it's here."

"Take something and stick it on the wall for everyone to see. This drawing is based on my imagination, and it may not be correct. Master carpenters do a lot of work and have experience. You can also rely on this pile of Raw materials, try to restore its drawings.”

Everyone immediately looked at Xu Zhenying, as if they were all ears.

If Xu Zhenying hadn't come up with recipes for cement, soap, etc. before, they would really doubt the authenticity of Xu Zhenying's claim that this pile was a spinning machine.

"It is just a boxy thing, there is no doubt about it. Then the hand crank should be on the right side, with a conveyor belt in the middle, the spindle rod is assembled on the small runner, and the big hand crank is driven by the rope sleeve "Little wheel."

"When spinning, grab a small piece of cotton yarn and hook it on the hook on the spindle rod, then pull a piece of cotton sliver to catch it with the cotton yarn and twist it in your hand. In this way, the sliver is fixed by the hook of the spindle rod and your hand. Turn the big runner by hand. Drive the spindle bar on the small runner to rotate, and twist the yarn while stretching it by hand. After completion, stop or turn the big runner slightly, the yarn will come out of the hook, and then turn the big runner. The cotton yarn is wound onto the cylindrical spindle. In the final analysis, one spindle is turned into countless spindles, and the spinning efficiency can be increased through this method.”

Luo Qingzhou's eyes widened.

Xu Zhenying looked at him hopefully, "Dean Luo, do you understand?"

Luo Qingzhou smiled awkwardly: "I feel like I understand, but I still need to touch the machine."

Seeing that Xu Zhenying was anxious, Xu Yinxi had no choice but to advise Xu Zhenying privately: "Your Highness, don't be too anxious. Everything is here anyway, and it will be restored sooner or later. Besides, you have been putting pressure on them here, and it is difficult for them to get rid of it." Now you have done everything you can do. Why leave the professional things to the professionals? How about we go back and wait for the news?"

Xu Zhenying suddenly realized and patted his head: "Look at me, I'm so busy and confused. I'm too eager for quick success."

Xu Yinxi smiled and said: "This spinning machine must be extremely important, right?"

Xu Zhenying nodded, "Hey, no matter how important it is, don't be impatient. You can't become a big fat man in one sitting. Okay, let's evacuate first, so as not to make them uncomfortable while we are here."

Xu Zhenying called Pang Xiaohua again: "Secretary Pang, ask the logistics people to take good care of them. No matter what I am doing, I will report the news immediately. The progress of the spinning machine is the most important."

Pang Xiaohua responded immediately.

When they heard that Xu Zhenying was leaving, the craftsmen were obviously relieved.

No one here can stand His Highness watching you working from behind!

A group of people stood up to say goodbye to Xu Zhenying. Xu Zhenying and the secretaries finally disappeared into the safe house. On the way back, Xu Yinxi was still thinking about the spinning machine.

Although she has never spun or weaved before, she has seen a traditional hand-operated spinning wheel and knows that weaving a piece of cloth requires a lot of time and manpower. According to His Highness, Mrs. Luo's distant nephew is very interested in spinning wheels. After improvements are made, the efficiency can be increased several times, or even dozens of times, and the world will undergo earth-shattering changes.

Since the method of sweet potatoes and composting was promoted, the amount of food in the fields has increased significantly. In addition, the university that will be implemented next year will have an agricultural college specializing in increasing food production.

It is conceivable that the Eleven Prefectures of Jinzhou Prefecture would become the place with the least shortage of food in the entire Zhou Dynasty. It took them five years to truly ensure that the people had food to eat.

Now, as long as the spinning machines can be restored and promoted in large quantities, it means that they have achieved the initial standards of Datong society.

That is, everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear.

How attractive such a society is to the remaining people who have not yet joined Jinzhou Prefecture!
When the time comes, they will add a cowpox vaccine and a three-piece combo. You can imagine how easy it will be for them to capture the city.

The only fly in the ointment is that Fang Ruyu took away the firearm blueprints.

Although Xu Zhenying has been emphasizing that some things are not as simple as stealing a blueprint, they are a test of a country's manufacturing capabilities and there are technical barriers.

But people under Xu Zhenying are actually worried.

Once Qiongzhou makes firearms, their progress in unifying the world will be delayed for at least five years.

Damn it, Fang Ruyu who killed a thousand swords!

Xu Yinxi's teeth itch with hatred every time she thinks of this! She even had a grudge against Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo.

Even though she knew how innocent the rest of the Fang family was, she still couldn't get over it.

So Xu Yinxi also thought of another thing.

Your Highness was able to hold back her anger at that time without everyone from the other party's family sitting together, which shows how tolerant she is.

Although most of the people below were dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Zhenying picked it up and let it go, many people even thought that Your Highness did something womanly, and they kept writing to ask her to severely punish the other members of the Fang family.

But on the other hand, it made everyone more loyal to His Highness.

Following such a master, one does not have to worry or fear that his family will be innocently implicated. The fact that he can be ruthless, yet tolerant, and not angry at critical moments is enough to show his broadmindedness and ability.

Xu Yinxi, like Xu Zhenying, now has great expectations for that spinning machine!

————————————————————

Thousands of miles away in Qiongzhou, Fang Ruyu's life was not so easy.

This afternoon, Fang Ruyu locked herself in the room and refused to come out.

Even Zhou Ying could only stand outside the door.

By the time King Ming arrived, Zhou Ying had already learned the cause and effect, and she could not help but complain to King Ming: "Brother, you are too careless in doing things. Today, the girl named Jiao Niang in your backyard dared to take the latest I came to see Sister Ruyu in the newspaper. It clearly stated that the Fang family wanted to sever ties with Sister Ruyu. Sister Ruyu cried for a long time. "

King Ming was dusty and his cloak was wet from the wind and snow. A girl immediately stepped forward to take it away respectfully. When he heard Zhou Ying say this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "It's that monthly report from Jinzhou Mansion again? Isn't it already banned in the country?" Is the territory of Qiongzhou circulated? How did the girl get it? "

"How can it be said that these books can be banned? There are so many scholars in Qiongzhou. Now they all think that the things passed down from Jinzhou Prefecture are extremely novel. Some people even collect them secretly. How can it be said that they are banned? It can be banned. Not to mention our Qiongzhou Prefecture, even Bianjing has repeatedly banned it. "

King Ming frowned, with a murderous look in his eyes, "You have to kill a few people before you can let the people below know how powerful you are."

"It would be good if we could kill a few people to suppress the situation, but now...ah, His Royal Highness King Zhao of Jinzhou Prefecture is very good at public opinion propaganda. He has penetrated all the way into our Qiongzhou. Our Qiongzhou is already popular among the people. In panic, how many people are thinking about running towards Jinzhou Mansion. If they use Chongdian again at this time, I am afraid that the people below will be even more dissatisfied."

Zhou Heng was even more agitated.

It had been almost three or four months since Fang Ruyu came to Qiongzhou, but now the money was being spent like water, but there was not even a trace of firearms.

Not only that, they were completely suppressed by Jiang Yongkang's people on the eastern battlefield, and they were advancing step by step. Seeing that they had lost two cities in such a short time, the people under their command naturally became concerned.

In many county towns, upon seeing the banner of Jinzhou Prefecture, the county magistrate directly ordered the city gates to be opened. The common people happily welcomed the rebels into the city. Zhou Heng felt a little overwhelmed when he saw the successive defeats of the army. Live the fire.

If this firearm is not made, Qiongzhou Prefecture will be almost wiped out!
Although Zhou Heng suppressed his temper and patiently coaxed Fang Ruyu, he was impatient for a long time. The people below him took advantage of the situation. Naturally, Fang Ruyu did not value Fang Ruyu as much as before, and even people in the backyard dared to break into the house.

"What about Chen Jiaoniang?"

"I know I have caused trouble, and I am obediently in the backyard at the moment." Zhou Ying smiled a little coldly, "She said she saw the news in the newspaper and wanted to comfort Sister Ruyu, but she didn't know that Sister Ruyu didn't know This incident made it appear that she had become a bad person, and then she left crying. She also said that she had done something wrong and that her brother would beat or punish her without complaining. "

Zhou Heng thought of the beautiful Chen Jiao Niang and her sweet and sweet temperament, and his heart softened a little, "Jiao Niang has an innocent temperament, but she is just a little more outspoken. Is she going to be beaten or punished?" She's really careless. But it's true that she's a little disobedient. Didn't you tell her to stay calm these days? Why did she leave the house today? "

Zhou Ying paused and frowned slightly.

Then he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Her brother is also considered a young genius, so why can't he see the virtues of women so clearly?

How is that Chen Jiaoniang innocent? Outspoken?
This is clearly done out of arrogance and deliberately!
