The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 212 The first queen in history

Li Shimin was the greatest emperor in Chinese history. Su Chen spent more time talking about Li Shimin's great achievements.

Now that I’ve finally finished talking, I can start the next step of selling.

Ancient people from all dynasties are also looking forward to it. They have been waiting impatiently for this moment to arrive.

Although everyone respects Li Shimin very much, they are also very interested in Li Shimin's legendary story.

But this is just a story after all. No matter how exciting it is, it has nothing to do with their vital interests.

But the next part of the rush to buy products is what can really help them.

Because of this, after the anchor told the legendary life of Li Shimin, ancient people from all dynasties cheered up and got ready to buy sewing machines.

Unlike previous products, you can’t tell much just by hearing the name.

But with the name sewing machine, ancient people from all dynasties roughly understood what kind of industrial product it was.

A sewing machine, as the name suggests, is a sewing tool used by women to sew fabrics or clothes together.

The clothes everyone wears are all made by women who bought cloth and then sewed it with one stitch and one stitch.

But according to everyone’s speculation, the sewing machine that the anchor wants to sell now can definitely sew clothes very conveniently.

Men from all dynasties were not very interested in sewing machines, but women from all dynasties were looking forward to buying them.

After all, men don't do needlework at home, but every woman can do needlework and just need a sewing machine to help sew clothes.

Some active businessmen from various dynasties are looking forward to it, praying in their hearts that the manufacturing process of sewing machines will not be difficult.

In this way, they can let workers make sewing machines that sell well and make a lot of money.

This sewing machine sounds like it was created by later generations. It is an industrial product like the walkie-talkies, bicycles, and watches sold by previous anchors.

Most of the previous industrial products could not be produced, except for a bicycle.

The craftsmanship of a bicycle may seem complicated, but it can be made by hiring a skilled craftsman.

Walkie-talkies and watches were completely useless. Their internal structures were too complex and could not be made with the capabilities of their time.

So they now have expectations for sewing machines and hope that the production process will not be too complicated, which will make it easier for them to develop them.

Unlike bicycles, sewing machines have a much larger market prospect.

Every household needs to make clothes, and a sewing machine is the best tool for making clothes.

They can fully imagine that once a sewing machine is developed, countless people will rush to grab it.

Ancient people from all dynasties looked at the anchor in the live broadcast room and saw that the anchor was carrying a big thing.

Everyone immediately understood that this should be the sewing machine sold tonight.

Su Chen brought over the sewing machine that had been prepared and displayed it in the live broadcast room so that people from all dynasties could see it clearly.

There are three generations of sewing machines. The first generation is a hand-operated sewing machine, the second generation is a pedal-operated wooden sewing machine, and the third generation is a computerized sewing machine.

What Su Chen has prepared for everyone is the classic second-generation pedal sewing machine, which was also an indispensable sewing machine for every household in China in the 1970s and 1980s.

"You can take a closer look. This is a pedal sewing machine."

Just looking at a style, no one can understand it.

People were clamoring for the anchor to demonstrate how to use it and see how the sewing machine sews fabrics.

"The anchor doesn't have any fabric here, so he can't demonstrate it, so he just shows you a video."

Su Chen found the video in advance just to demonstrate it to everyone.

In the video, a middle-aged woman was sitting in front of a sewing machine, mending clothes quickly.

Ancient people from all dynasties were surprised to find that middle-aged women stepped on a pedal and kept shaking, while their hands pulled the clothes and quickly passed under the needle.

Immediately everyone can see a dense row of thin lines appearing on the clothes, arranged in an unusually neat manner.

This scene made ancient people from all dynasties marvel at it, especially the eyes of women from all dynasties.

Queen Lu: Not to mention, this sewing machine is really convenient for sewing clothes. The clothes are sewn just by pulling them under the needle.

Although she is the mother of a country, she no longer sews clothes.

But when I saw how powerful the sewing machine was, I couldn’t help but admire it and wanted to buy one.

She could see that a sewing machine was a great helper for women and could be used in every household.

Liu Rushi: This sewing machine is much more convenient than needlework. If I can buy one, it will be much easier to make female celebrities in the future.

When she has nothing to do, she likes to pass the time by making female celebrities.

Sewing clothes and embroidery are her pleasures.

Now that she saw how powerful the sewing machine was, she eagerly wanted to buy one.

Queen Changsun: Your Majesty, I want a sewing machine.

As soon as she saw the sewing machine, she was already deeply attracted.

In her opinion, there is no woman who does not like sewing machines.

She wanted a sewing machine and then sewed a dress for the emperor with her own hands.

Li Shimin: Queen, don’t worry, I’ll grab a sewing machine for you.

Although he was not interested in sewing machines, the queen liked them, and he would grab one and give it to the queen no matter what.

After Su Chen watched the video for everyone, many people posted comments asking about the price, and couldn't wait to urge the anchor to link.

"Don't worry, the sewing machine will be put on the shelves shortly. The anchor will give you a brief introduction to the sewing machine first."

"Look at this sewing machine. It consists of four parts: machine head, machine base, transmission and accessories."

Although many people don't want to hear this, they just want to put sewing machines on the shelves as soon as possible, and they can't wait any longer.

But for merchants and craftsmen from all dynasties, this was a rare opportunity.

If the anchor explains it in detail, they might be able to figure out how the sewing machine works and then make it themselves.

Therefore, when the anchor introduced, they listened very carefully, for fear of missing the key points.

"The machine head is the main part of the sewing machine. It consists of four mechanisms: piercing, hooking, thread picking, and feeding. The movements of each mechanism cooperate reasonably and work in cycles to sew the fabric together."

"The machine base that the anchor showed you is a tabletop type. The tabletop supports the machine head and is used as a workbench during sewing operations."

"The transmission part of the sewing machine is composed of the frame, hand crank and other components. The place where the anchor's fingers are is the transmission part."

“The frame is the backbone of the machine, supporting the table and foot pedals.”

"When in use, the operator steps on the foot pedal, which drives the pulley to rotate through the crank, and then drives the machine head to rotate through the belt."

"Accessories on the sewing machine include needles, bobbins, screwdrivers, oil cans, etc. These are all included."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was amazed and admired the clever minds of future generations.

I don’t know how later generations thought of making such a complicated sewing machine.

The complexity of this sewing machine seems to be much more complicated than the textile machine they used.

Businessmen from all dynasties were anxious after hearing this. They could see the structure of the sewing machine at a glance. What they wanted to know most was the working principle of the sewing machine.

Only by knowing the principle of a sewing machine can they develop a sewing machine.

Some craftsmen stare intently at the machine head. They know that the core of the sewing machine is at the machine head.

But they can only see the appearance, but not the working principle inside.

Whether they are businessmen or craftsmen, they all want to ask the anchor how the sewing machine works.

But they didn't have the courage. After all, the emperors and generals of their dynasty were watching.

Just when they were worried, Song Yingxing, a scientist from the Ming Dynasty, took the initiative to ask the anchor.

Song Yingxing: Anchor, please tell me how the sewing machine works. I want to record the sewing machine in "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Su Chen had great respect for the scientists who compiled such a masterpiece as "Tiangong Kaiwu" and gave the answer immediately.

"The principle of a sewing machine is coil stitching. The simplest coil stitching is chain stitching. The sewing machine makes a loop with the same length of thread behind the thread."

“The garment sits on a metal plate beneath the needle, held in place with a presser foot, and the needle pulls a loop through the fabric at the beginning of each stitch.”

"A coil-making device catches the coil before the needle is pulled out, and the device moves in synchrony with the needle."

“Once the needle pulls out the fabric, the feed dog mechanism pulls the fabric forward.”

"When the needle passes through the fabric again, the new loop will pass directly through the middle of the previous loop."

"The coil-making device will grab the thread again and make the coil around the next coil."

"That way, each coil holds the next coil in place."

"The power of the sewing machine comes from the footboard. The user puts his feet on the board, and then the feet move evenly one by one, which drives an iron ring with a belt next to it to move at a uniform speed, and then converts it into the up and down movement of the needle above, and threads the The needle thread and the bobbin thread move along with the sewn cloth, and the two pieces of cloth are sewn together.”

After the anchor finished speaking, the craftsmen from various dynasties looked confused and did not understand.

The main reason is that the space hole mentioned by the anchor is all based on imagination and they cannot understand it.

Song Yingxing was thoughtful, as if he understood something, but the window paper was still not broken.

He is already good at the manufacturing principles of various objects, otherwise he would not have compiled "Tiangong Kaiwu".

While listening to the anchor's story and looking at the sewing machine in front of the anchor, he gradually gained some insights.

But because the anchor's words were too dry and he couldn't see the internal operating mode of the sewing machine, he could only understand it half-understood.

Song Yingxing: Anchor, I didn’t understand what you just said. Can you explain it more clearly?

Not only Song Yingxing had this question, many people also had the same question and took this opportunity to ask the anchor questions.

Li Shimin: Host, can you make it clearer? This sewing machine is a good thing. I want every household in the Tang Dynasty to be able to use it.

Su Chen was a little embarrassed when he saw this.

He didn't quite understand these, he only knew a rough idea of ​​them.

"Everyone, wait a moment. The anchor is looking for a video on how a sewing machine works."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he started searching in front of everyone.

The structure of a sewing machine is not complicated, you just need to know how it works.

He believed that with the wisdom of the ancients, it was possible to make a sewing machine.

Sewing machines were an indispensable household item for weddings in China in the 1970s and 1980s. He also hopes that every household in all dynasties can use a sewing machine.

He doesn't sell many sewing machines today, which are far from meeting everyone's needs.

At this time, each country needs to rely on its own industrial manufacturing capabilities.

"The video has been found. If you need it, you can take out a pen and paper to record it. Given time, everyone will definitely be able to produce it."

When the ancients from all dynasties heard this, their faces were happy, and some smart people were already ready to record it.

【Genius design! How does a sewing machine work? 】

[The person who invented the sewing machine was really a genius.

We know that when sewing by hand, you need to pass it through from the top and pull it out from the other side.

But we see that the sewing machine only passes through one side of the cloth and then retracts it. So how are these threads fixed on the cloth, and the speed is very fast.

We all know that every needle has an eye, and this has been true since ancient times.

Until 1755, a man named Charles may have felt that sewing was too cumbersome.

So we created a needle with tips on both ends and the eye of the needle moved underneath, so that we don't have to flip the needle over and over again.

Surprisingly, this needle is still used on sewing machines today.

But there is still a problem here, even one end of the needle eye can pass through the sewing fabric.

But when we pull the needle out, the thread follows.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. We only need to leave a loop underneath when the needle passes through the sewing fabric.

When the next stitch is dropped, it is also passed through this loop, so that a loop is formed, and a chain of stitches is formed by several consecutive stitches.

This technique is called chain stitch and is one of the sewing methods used by the first type of sewing machines.

But on a machine, how do you keep the coil underneath?

This almost coincidentally in 1857 two ways to solve this problem emerged.

One of the designs adds a hook underneath the machine, which when the needle penetrates the sewing fabric brings the thread down.

Then as the needle rises, the thread between the eye of the needle and the sewn fabric shortens and forms a small raised strand.

At exactly this moment, the sharp hook caught the raised strand and pulled it into a coil.

And when the needle comes down, the hook moves back and the needle can pass through the loop.

Then as it moves up, the wire bundle bends again, repeating the process above.

Another design is similar to it, except that the hook is designed in a rotating form. This hook was used on more than 80 models of sewing machines later. But here we encounter another problem, that is, if the thread becomes loose in a certain place with this sewing method, the entire stitch will fall off easily.

To solve this problem, add an extra thread under the sewing machine.

This thread is attached to a shrinking needle and passed through the blue loop as the needle passes through the fabric.

By crossing the two threads together, the needle forms a locking stitch after returning, thereby solving the problem of unraveling the thread.

Later, on this basis, the shrinking needle was improved into a spool, and the locking needle was formed by the rotation of the spool.

After this point, the sewing method of the sewing machine is basically fully formed.

But there is still a problem that needs to be solved here. How does the sewn fabric move on its own?

In early sewing machines, the fabric needed to be moved manually after each sewing. In addition to being inefficient, the stitch spacing would not be completely consistent.

For this purpose, a presser foot is added to the sewing machine to hold down the fabric.

Underneath the fabric is a washboard-like metal piece that moves back a small amount when the needle is withdrawn.

This friction will push the fabric to the next stitch, allowing the fabric to move on its own as you sew.

This design is still used on every sewing machine to this day. 】

Ancient people from all dynasties were amazed and amazed after watching the animated video on the working principle of the sewing machine.

When the anchor explained the principle of sewing machines before, everyone was confused and didn’t understand why.

But now after watching the video, everyone can understand the working principle of the sewing machine very intuitively.

It is precisely because of this that everyone is so amazed at the ingenuity of later generations.

Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty: No matter how long I live, I will never be able to invent such an ingenious machine.

Zu Chongzhi: The person who invented the sewing machine is really a genius. This sewing machine is considered a great invention.

Zhu Di: This sewing machine is a good thing and must be recorded in my Yongle Ceremony.

Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty: The person who invented the sewing machine was really amazing. He invented a new thing without reference at all.

Song Yingxing: Thanks to the host. After watching the video, I finally understand the principle and I am confident to make it.

Li Shimin: The people of future generations are amazing! An inconspicuous needle can turn out tricks and become something I don't recognize.

Businessmen from all dynasties were all smiling, as if they had seen the gold, silver and jewelry waving to them.

They have carefully recorded every sentence and every scene in the video just now.

The working principle of the sewing machine has been revealed in detail, and they believe that they can find a skilled craftsman to completely copy it.

Once they can imitate sewing machines in large quantities, they will earn countless wealth.

A sewing machine is like a textile machine, a must-have for every family and the dream of every woman.

"Okay, now that we've finished introducing the sewing machines, the next step is the rush to buy."

"Sewing machines were a necessity for weddings in the 1970s and 1980s, and many families had sewing machines."

"So the anchor hopes that everyone can rush to buy it. If a man gives a sewing machine to the woman he loves, he will surely win the beauty."

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard the anchor say this, and they obviously thought of this.

Originally, they were men and had no intention of rushing to buy sewing machines.

If it is given to the woman you love, it is indeed a good idea, and it will definitely make her smile.

"The anchor has not prepared many sewing machines for everyone. The number is only 200,000, so each person is limited to purchasing one. The sewing machine is priced at 20 taels of silver."

"Okay, everyone, get ready, sewing machines, three, two, one, link up!"

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the product link of the sewing machine was posted in the live broadcast room.

The moment the sewing machine was put on the shelves, it was snapped up by people who couldn't wait.

Those who are lucky enough to grab it will naturally smile, but more often than not they will complain.

Many people even openly bid for large sums of money to buy sewing machines. The price has reached thousands of taels, a full fifty-fold increase.

These people who bought it at high prices were basically businessmen who wanted to take a sewing machine back and study it carefully.

Big man.

Queen Lu's face looked very ugly. She was so proud that she thought she could grab one, but she didn't expect it.

She was curious about sewing machines and wanted to grab one to try out the novelty.

Eunuch: Queen, I just saw your majesty speaking in the live broadcast room. It seems that your majesty was lucky enough to get it.

When Empress Lu heard this, her thoughts moved and she immediately walked towards Liu Bang's palace.

She and Liu Bang are now a superficial couple. They don't sleep together at night, they sleep separately.

But even if the relationship between the two is not harmonious, as the empress of Han Dynasty, it is not too much for her to ask the emperor for a sewing machine!

Besides, the emperor is a grown man, and it was useless to steal the sewing machine, so he simply gave it to her.

When Queen Lu rushed to Liu Bang's palace, she happened to see him carefully looking at the sewing machine placed in the center of the hall.

Queen Lu's arrival attracted Liu Bang's attention.

When Liu Bang looked up and saw that it was Empress Lu, his expression was quite unhappy.

Liu Bang: The Queen is up so late, why are you coming to me?

Empress Lu ignored Liu Bang's impatience and went straight to the point to state her intention.

Queen Lu: I heard that your Majesty snatched a sewing machine and came here to see the novelty.

How could Liu Bang not know what Empress Lu meant at this time, and his expression immediately turned bad.

Liu Bang: What the queen means is that she is interested in sewing machines and wants the sewing machine in my hand?

Queen Lu: It’s useless for the emperor to ask for a sewing machine. You might as well give it to me. I just want to make a dress recently and try out the power of the sewing machine.

Liu Bang said noncommittally: Just let the servants do the clothes. You are the mother of a country now, and it is not appropriate to do such menial work anymore.

Seeing Liu Bang's polite refusal, Empress Lu was about to say something when the voice of the young eunuch came from outside.

Eunuch: Your Majesty, Mrs. Qi has brought you here.

When Empress Lu heard this, her face darkened, and her heart was full of hatred.

She said that the emperor was unwilling to give her a sewing machine. It turned out that it was given to Mrs. Qi.

She became extremely angry when she thought of the favor given by the Emperor and Madam Qi.

It wasn't that she was jealous of Mrs. Qi's favor, but that she hated the idea of ​​these two people deposing the prince.

Prince Liu Ying is her son, and she will never allow the prince to be deposed.

This Han Dynasty is half as big as hers. It was conquered by her hard work. It was conquered by her Lu family with all their efforts.

Now the emperor and Mrs. Qi want to depose the prince and make Mrs. Qi's son Liu Ruyi the prince, but she will not agree to it no matter what.

After a while, Mrs. Qi came in. When she saw Empress Lu, she was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Empress Lu to be there.

Queen Lu glanced at Madam Qi coldly and left without saying anything.

Datang.

Li Shimin: Queen, no matter what, I will definitely grab a sewing machine and give it to you.

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh, and immediately asked someone to unpack it.

Queen Changsun: I knew your Majesty would grab it.

She was also not idle, and immediately asked someone to bring fabric and needle and thread, wanting to test it on the spot.

The package was quickly opened, revealing a brand-new sewing machine inside, which made Empress Changsun quite happy.

Empress Changsun threaded the thread onto the sewing machine according to the method in the video.

Then he took the half-sewn sachet from the palace maid and carefully placed it under the needle of the machine head.

At this time, Li Shimin thoughtfully moved a stool for Empress Changsun to sit on, and watched Empress Changsun operate step by step.

I don’t know whether it’s because women are naturally faster at sewing machines, or because the eldest grandson is more ingenious.

In just a few moments, the threading needle moved quickly under the control of Queen Changsun, and a sachet was sewn in a short time.

Queen Changsun: Your Majesty, I give this sachet to you.

Li Shimin took the sachet and couldn't suppress the smile on his face, he was extremely happy.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished their research, Su Chen continued the next topic.

"I believe that the lucky ones who grabbed the sewing machine have already taken it apart and have a clearer understanding of the working principle of the sewing machine."

"After understanding the principles of sewing machines, and with everyone's ingenuity, it should not be a big problem to develop a sewing machine of our own era."

"But when it comes to sewing machines, the anchor suddenly thought of a good thing, which will definitely help everyone speed up their development."

Su Chen's words can be said to have whetted everyone's appetite, and many people couldn't wait to ask questions.

After all, ancient people from all dynasties understood the simplest truth. If something is said to be good by the anchor, it is definitely a good thing and cannot be wrong.

"The anchor is going to introduce the Jenny spinning machine, which can greatly improve the production efficiency of spinning."

When the sewing machines were sold out, Su Chen suddenly thought of the Jenny Spinning Machine.

The Spinning Jenny is famous as it marked the beginning of the first industrial revolution.

Because the Jenny spinning machine could spin many cotton threads at one time, it promoted the large-scale and mechanized production of weaving factories, leading to the rapid rise of large-scale textile factories.

This resulted in an explosion of productivity and unprecedented opportunities for business and manufacturing.

Because of this, Su Chen wanted to introduce the Jenny Spinning Machine to ancient people from all dynasties.

Judging from the current status of the ancient people of various dynasties, a prosperous and prosperous era will soon usher in.

Now he has introduced the spinning Jenny. Maybe in a few years, various dynasties will set off an industrial revolution.

Queen Changsun: Anchor, I don’t know what a spinning jenny is?

This is not only the question of Empress Changsun, but also the question of ancient people in various dynasties.

"I believe everyone has seen a spinning machine, and many people even have spinning machines at home."

"And the Jenny spinning machine that the anchor is going to introduce is far more advanced than everyone else's. It can increase the spinning efficiency by at least twenty times."

"In other words, with the spinning Jenny, it took everyone the time to weave one piece of cloth, but now they can weave twenty pieces of cloth."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of ancient people from all dynasties were shaken, and their breathing was slightly quickened.

In the same amount of time, one could only weave one piece of cloth, but with the spinning Jenny, twenty pieces of cloth could be weaved.

Everyone knows clearly how great the benefits are.

Especially for women who have spinning machines at home, they can’t wait to get a spinning jenny at this moment.

They knew very well that if they had a spinning jenny, they could weave more cloth, earn more money, and live a better life.

Liu Che: Anchor, what is the Jenny spinning machine? Please explain it in detail.

Li Shimin: Anchor, can you tell everyone how to make the Jenny Spinning Machine?

"Of course, no problem. The anchor will play the video of Jenny Spinning Machine to everyone tomorrow morning. I believe that skilled craftsmen can make it after watching it."

Su Chen naturally had no objection and had planned to tell everyone.

The reason why we chose the spinning jenny is because the craftsmanship of each dynasty can completely produce a spinning jenny.

After hearing that the host agreed, people from all dynasties expressed their gratitude.

Almost instantly, the barrage was filled with overwhelming words of thanks.

After a while, Su Chen saw that there were fewer barrages, so he continued to speak.

"Okay, the sewing machines are also sold out, and now comes the final lottery. Please be ready."

Many people are waiting for this moment, and they have too many questions to ask the anchor.

In an instant, a countdown red envelope appeared in the live broadcast room.

At the moment when the countdown ended, ancient people from all dynasties rushed to grab them, hoping that good luck would come to them.

"Congratulations to Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty for grabbing the red envelope. The product is 999 Ganmao Ling Granules."

The lucky one was Empress Lu, which shocked the emperors and generals during the founding period of the Han Dynasty.

Queen Lu was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses, and couldn't wait to ask the doubts in her heart.

Empress Lu: Anchor, I would like to ask what happened next. Why did Liu Ying become Emperor Wen of Han? Is there any major change in this?

In the video that was previously rated by the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying was followed by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng, which surprised her.

Qi Ji's son Liu Ruyi, Bo Ji's son Liu Heng, and her Empress Lu's son Liu Ying.

The current situation is that Liu Ying's successor is Liu Heng. There must be something fishy about this, and she must find out.

Su Chen nodded and said, "No problem, the host will tell you the answer live tomorrow night."

"Okay, that's it for tonight's live broadcast. Good night everyone, see you tomorrow night."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he immediately left the broadcast, and the ancient people from all dynasties under the sky slowly dispersed.
