Chapter 12 Hydraulic Jenny Spinning Machine
Zhu Shun accepted the appointment at Wang Gongchang the next day, and his hanging heart finally landed.
Generally speaking, the head of Wang Gongchang has no rank, usually served by the eunuchs in the palace, also known as the eunuchs of the palm factory, and the eunuchs themselves have ranks, so Wang Gongchang basically does not have a rank.
There has never been a precedent for a normal person to be in charge of the factory, and Zhu Shun belongs to the first one since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Regarding Zhu Shun's rank, Chongzhen originally wanted to give him a nine-rank, but the cabinet ministers disagreed, saying that this would destroy the rank system, and the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau was only nine-rank, so in the end, he could only give him a nine-rank.
Zhu Shun put on a winged black gauze hat, wore a green official uniform, and stepped on hard-soled official boots, and the aura of the whole person was immediately different, and he did have a bit of the demeanor of an official.
As the saying goes, the new officials take office three times, and the little officials in Wang Gong's factory are sad every day, worried that the young and vigorous Zhu Shun will cut off their financial route.
Those businessmen who specially provided iron and wood for Wang Gong Factory were less worried, after all, the raw materials of Wang Gong Factory were all allocated by the Ministry of Industry, and Zhu Shun could not reach them.
After waiting for more than half a month, he still didn't see any movement from Zhu Shun, so he put his mind at ease and continued to secretly sell arquebuses.
The arquebus, which costs fifteen taels or three dollars of silver, can be sold to those who like to boil eagles and walk dogs, and they can be sold for a sky-high price of thirty taels.
There are as many as twenty or thirty people in Wang Gong's factory, and each small official can get hundreds of taels of silver from it every year.
It's not that Zhu Shun doesn't want to burn the fire, it's just that he doesn't have the spare time to take care of them, and the hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine has been designed.
But this hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine requires a woman to shake the handle and drive the transmission belt to spin.
Zhu Shunjue's Jenny spinning machine, which has increased its efficiency by 80 times, is still not advanced enough, and it is being improved.
The swing handle was removed and replaced with a torque lever, a three-groove cam, a chain and other mechanical parts, and a more advanced hydraulic Jenny spinning machine.
Whether it is a hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine or a water-powered Jenny spinning machine, it does not require electricity or steam, and the structure is not complicated.
When Zhu Shun used to read history books, he had studied the industrial revolution abroad, and clearly remembered the structure of these two Jenny looms, and it only took seven or eight days to draw the structure of the hydraulic Jenny looms.
I remember to remember, but to really build it, I also have to take into account some small details of the real thing, so I counted it for more than ten days in the public house.
Finally, on the day of the second mid-year holiday, Zhu Shun thoroughly calculated the structural diagram of the hydraulic Jenny loom, and even the most inconspicuous edges and corners were marked with accurate degrees.
Zhu Shun is now the most hated person in the Donglin Party, and there is no one yet, how long Zhu Shun has been engaged in mechanical design with his head stuffy, many members of the Donglin Party have not eaten meat for a long time.
Not to mention that prostitutes travel, drunk and dreaming of going to visit the Qinglou, many Donglin Party members even gave away their favorite concubines with tears in their eyes in order to repay the loan.
After Zhu Shun served as the head of Wang Gongchang, the stickers and the secretaries were worried about the three fires of the new official, and the Donglin Party people were also worried about the three fires, but they were worried that Zhu Shun would not burn the fire.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shun really didn't burn at all, and it had been twenty days and there was still no movement, which made the Donglin party, who had planned a lot of conspiracies, punch the cotton.
No matter how hard you try, no matter how much strength you have, you can't do anything about the other party, which makes the members of the Donglin Party, who were already in a bad mood, depressed and want to vomit blood.
There are still a lot of holidays for officials in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the three major holidays of provincial family leave, sacrificial leave, and marriage and funeral leave, other small holidays add up to 47 days.
There are two times for officials to go home in the afternoon, after the spring equinox is Shen Zheng, and after the autumn equinox is Shen Chu.
Zhu Shun put away the structural diagram in his hand, glanced at the Western self-striking bell that Matteo Ricci had transmitted to the Ming Dynasty, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, he got up from the Taishi's chair and walked outside the yamen.
When I got home, it was already dark, Zhu Shun didn't come back from the previous ten-year vacation, and Zhu Zhongren and his wife thought that their son wouldn't come back this ten-year vacation, and they went to sleep as soon as it got dark.
Zhu Shun stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door, and when his father came to open the door, he found that he had made a noise, and there was no dog barking.
It's not that there are no dogs barking, it's that no one has dogs, and they can't eat enough, where is there extra food to raise dogs, Zhu Shun couldn't help but sigh: "When I used to read historical materials, only a few words were used in the history books, and they were passed by to show that the life of the common people in the dynasty was not good. ”
"It's not a bad time, it's good to be alive, Huangcun is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if it is replaced by these places in the northwest, I don't know what kind of miserable it is."
Zhu Shun is now the most promising person in Huang Village, and Kong Yougui's entire family has also been arrested and imprisoned, so it stands to reason that no one can threaten the safety of the Dao Zhu family.
When Zhu Zhongren came over, he was still cautiously carrying a stick, and there was no way that the world was unstable: "Who is it?" ”
"Dad, it's me."
Hearing that it was his son's voice, Zhu Zhongren hurriedly opened the wooden door, and saw his son standing alone outside, it was still the middle of the night, and he couldn't help but mutter: "You don't know how to bring two more servants at such a late hour." ”
"What if you run into a rogue on the way?"
Zhu Shun knows that in the eyes of ordinary people like his father, as long as he is an official, there will be a large group of people, who will be called by the official and the old man.
Zhu Shun didn't explain, and the explanation couldn't be explained clearly, so he yawned and said, "Dad, I'm sleepy, go back to sleep first." ”
"I have something to discuss with you tomorrow, so I won't go to work tomorrow for the time being."
When Zhu Zhongren heard the word "work", his old face couldn't help but blush, after his son became an official, he felt sorry for him as a father, so he didn't let him go to work in a private kiln.
The son was not at home watching him, Zhu Zhongren wanted to do a little more and save a little more money for his son to marry his daughter-in-law, so he secretly went again, but he didn't expect this kid to be a ghost and a ghost, and he couldn't hide it from him.
Thinking of his son being so shrewd, Zhu Zhongren couldn't help but cheer: "What kind of work, your father and I have been resting for the past few days, and the bones of the rest are almost soft." ”
There is only one room in the family's earthen house, which is divided into three rooms, the middle is the lobby, the left is where Zhu Shun's parents sleep, and the right is his small room.
Zhu Liushi heard that his son was back, put on a dress and walked out, and happened to meet his son in the lobby: "Shun'er, have you eaten?" ”
Zhu Shun consumed a lot of energy during this time, and after walking for a long time, he was indeed very sleepy: "After eating my mother, I will go to sleep first." ”
