Loom, Zhang Yue has been researching.

He had already sent the composition and related techniques of the retrospective Jenny loom to Ding Xuan for study.

The original Jenny loom is not very technical.

Not to mention the pre-AD, even in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, as long as there is a structure, it can be manufactured.

The only problem is that what Zhang Yue can go back to is only the introduction of Jenny's machine in junior high school and high school textbooks.

There is basically only a picture from a textbook and a few crosses, and most of the content of this introduction is to explain the historical status and significance of Jenny's loom.

As for how to make it? How is it manufactured? What are its parts, what does it consist of? Hardly.

This requires trial after experiment.

Constant adjustment, correction and exploration.

However, Ding Zhu's energy is limited, and in the past six months, his main direction of attack has always been the hydraulic forging hammer system, and his entire team has also focused on this place.

After all, without a loom, it is a big deal to weave cloth in the old way, which is nothing more than slower efficiency and higher cost.

But without the hydraulic forging hammer system, there would be no stable large-scale and efficient mass production of ordnance armor factory, let alone any industrial technology explosion - the history of mankind has long shown that the progress and development of any productive forces are closely related to the use and utilization of energy by human beings!

So, the loom thing was put aside.

Some have even been forgotten.

Now Gongsun Yi suddenly mentioned it, which made Zhang Yue think about it, indeed, this matter should be done.

The cotton cultivated in the space has also been cultivated to the eighth generation.

They are now very different from the original ancestors who were transplanted into space.

The original stubby cotton wool has now grown to more than 30 centimeters, which is in line with the characteristics of long-staple cotton introduced from the Americas in later generations.

Moreover, the strength of the lint is also good, much stronger than the initial linters that may break when you pull it.

The only drawback or disadvantage of this cotton variety is that it needs a lot of water to irrigate during its growth and development!

This is already manifested in space.

With each generation, the amount of water demanded is growing!

The amount of jade fruit it takes to cultivate them is also increasing!

Either way, they're ready to be transplanted.

However, we still need to wait for the opportunity to wait for the beginning of spring next year before they can be transplanted to the outside world.

In this case, next autumn, when the cotton is harvested in large quantities, it will definitely need a suitable loom to weave them into cotton cloth that can be exchanged for countless five baht coins.

Thinking like this, Zhang Yue looked at Gongsun Yi and said with a smile: "I have a small idea about the art of the loom......

Gongsun Yi's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Please also give it to the general!" ”

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Since Uncle Shi wants it, how can I hide my secrets?" ”

Then he said: "Take the paper, ink, pen and inkstone!" ”

Gongsun Yi immediately ordered: "Go and get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”

Immediately, an official went down to work, and after a while, someone brought a desk and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, put it in front of Zhang Yue, and respectfully bowed: "Please give the general advice!" ”

Zhang Yue smiled, bowed his hand to Gongsun Yi, and greeted the other officials slightly, and then walked to the front of the desk, picked up the pen, splashed ink, and drew a three-dimensional composition of Jenny's loom on rice paper that he remembered, and then wrote down the techniques and points he had mastered so far next to it.

After finishing this thing, Zhang Yue blew dry the ink, and then handed the rice paper to Gongsun Yi and said: "Uncle Shi, this is the idea of a loom that I am thinking of, if it can be made, the weaving speed and efficiency will be at least several times higher!" ”

When Gongsun Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and thanked: "The gentleman has given it, and the lower officials thank him on behalf of the Shaofu!" ”

Other officials of the Shaofu also thanked one after another: "The gentleman (general) has given him a generous gift, and the Shaofu is deeply grateful!" ”

As for what Zhang Yue gave, is there any effect?

No one will doubt this!

Just like in the future, no one will question the ability of a Nobel laureate in the professional sphere.

Zhang Yue had to remind Gongsun Yi: "Uncle Shi, this machine is still just an idea, if you want to build it, I'm afraid Shaofu will have to mobilize skilled craftsmen to tackle key problems!" ”

"Don't worry!" Gongsun Yi patted his chest and said with a package ticket: "Xiaguan will gather all the masters in the East and West Weaving Room, and study this matter day and night!" ”

The east and west weaving rooms of Shaofu combined, just in Chang'an City, there are more than 20,000 officials and employees.

Among them, there are hundreds of master craftsmen and skilled craftsmen!

Fiddling with looms and studying textiles is exactly what these people are good at!

And Gongsun Yi has already made up his mind to take care of this matter himself.

There is no way, the facts have proved that those who believe in the Ying Yang General in front of them have already gained huge benefits!

Before taking office as a servant, everyone believed that he would be scorched by the servant's mess, and even bruised all over his body, don't think about gasping for breath in three or five years!

Na Cheng thought, as soon as this servant came to power, he held high the banner of 'purging the residual poison of the thief's father and son', and launched a vigorous purification campaign of the servant.

In just three months, he wiped out the remnants of Gongsun He's father and son, and even took the opportunity to label other people who did not listen to his orders and refused to kneel and lick him as 'the remnants of the thief's father and son', and then grass one by one.

In just five months, the servants have become Shangguan Yiyantang.

The thirty-six gardens of the servants, the officials and the priests of the seven departments and the five divisions have all become the foot-washing maids of Shangguan Ji.

Then, on this basis, Shangguan Ji began to reform the internal affairs of the Taifu in a big way.

First of all, the horse herding system of the servant was reformed, and a new performance appraisal method was added.

Subsequently, a large number of professional servants were promoted to fill the large number of positions vacated by his purification campaign.

For a time, the servant was thriving, and the prestige and combat effectiveness of the servant gradually returned.

So much so that even the Son of Heaven has praised Shangguan Ji by name many times at the court meeting, and more times issued edicts to praise the latter, and now there is news that Shangguan Ji may be appointed as a certain general in the future, go to Hexi or the Western Regions to brush up his achievements, and then take advantage of the situation to seal the marquis.

That's amazing!

Today's favorite thing to do is to give his favorite minister or favorite minister a temporary title of general, and then let him follow a general to fight a winnable war to brush up his achievements, and take the opportunity to give the latter a coffee and find a chance to be a marquis!

For example, Han said that this was the case back then.

Jiuqing's title of marquis means that he is one step closer to the position of the third duke!

And in the legend that Gongsun Yi heard, Shangguan Ji's actions in the Taifu Yamen were all ordered by the person in front of him.

Of course, Gongsun Yi also wants to have such treatment!

Who wouldn't want to take it a step further?

Even if it doesn't work, as long as you make political achievements, you can at least sit firmly in the position of Shaofu!

You must know that Shaofuqing, although he is the gas bag of the East Palace (Changxin Palace) and the West Palace (Weiyang Palace), his power and oil and water have always been not small.

As long as anyone sits firmly in the position of Shaofu Qing, at least he can ensure the wealth of the family for three generations!

Just thinking about this, Gongsun Yi was already excited.

So, after sending Zhang Yue away, he immediately arranged for technical research.

He first found the masters of the weaving room, and then mobilized other skilled craftsmen from the Shaofu Yousi to form a technical team of more than 100 people.

Then, I began to provide the composition and technical instructions for Zhang Yue, and began to tackle key problems!

Although Gongsun Yi did not know much about technology, he was a qualified bureaucrat.

For the needs of the technical team, ask for money for money, people for people, and resources for resources.

With the technology, resources, manpower, material and financial resources accumulated by Shaofu for a hundred years, it is naturally very simple to tackle a simple device that already has a general pattern and a general technical description.

In just a few days, he already had some eyebrows, and even made a shuttle drawn by Zhang Yue.

This is the pre-technology of Jenny's weaving machine – a small tool with a built-in chute and a small wheel.

They even made the most primitive springs!

Of course, just a bronze leaf spring for sliding the chariot, a little clumsy, but already effective.

When this shuttle is applied to the loom, the performance is amazing!

In the past, it took two people to operate a large loom, but now one person can do it.

Moreover, the textile efficiency has increased several times!

In the past, it would take a woman to weave a piece of cloth for days or even longer.

Now, in less than a day, you can weave one.

This is equal to the speed of printing money in Shaofu, which is N times faster!

As a result, the Shaofu immediately concentrated all its resources, manpower and material resources to manufacture hundreds of shuttles, and then put them into production.

As a result, the speed of cloth production in the east-west weaving room has increased several times in a short period of time.

So much so that soon, some people complained about the lack of yarn.

This alarmed the Son of Heaven!

There is no way, today, cloth is equivalent to the banknotes of later generations, but it is hard and can not be harder, and it is a hard currency that passes all over the world!

Even in the Western Regions and Mobei, cloth can be used as money.

Its credibility and acceptance are even higher than five baht coins, second only to gold, and it is really the RMB of the Han Dynasty!

In many cases, cloth is even more useful than gold!

After all, what kind of gold have ordinary people seen there?

Even the value of gold may not be understood, but cloth is different, especially low-end cloths such as coarse cloth, brown cloth and linen, everyone knows it, everyone knows their value, and it is a necessity!

Even the state recognizes that cloth can be used to pay taxes, and there is even an official value conversion scheme.

Naturally, the Son of Heaven, who was already short of money and was about to suffocate, came when he smelled it.

After Gongsun Yi heard about this, he immediately went to Jianzhang Palace to report the achievements of the East and West Weaving Room in recent days, and brought the relevant accounts over.

When the Son of Heaven saw it, he immediately smiled from ear to ear, and after hearing that it was the plan provided by Zhang Yue, he was even more happy.

When he ordered Gongsun Yi, go all out to build the 'loom painted by General Yingyang as soon as possible to benefit the common people in the world', and at the same time, send his own confidant Guo Sui over to supervise!

No way!

Today's Han Tianzi is already poor and crazy!

For the sake of the war, he had stopped Maoling, reduced all palace expenses, including Jianzhang Palace, and even temporarily closed many palaces.

Like Ganquan Palace, Wuqi Palace, and Lin Guang Palace, all of them were temporarily closed, and only a few eunuchs and palace maids who were guarded were retained, and the rest were all withdrawn to Chang'an.

In addition, the rewards of civil and military officials have all stopped.

Even the relatives, the lords, and the clan stopped rewarding.

Even so, resources remain strained.

Especially in terms of money, it is especially tight!

After all, the empire not only needs to maintain the cost of the war, but also needs to prepare for the post-war pensions, rewards, and rewards.

It all costs money!

And, a huge number!

Shaofu and Dasi Nong have almost looted the entire country's inner and outer treasures, and even sold a large number of cattle and sheep captured in the Battle of Mobei in exchange for funds, but they still have a hole.

Now, we can finally see hope to fill this hole.

How is this majesty upset?

After all, he didn't want to have to live a tight life for years to come!

After Gongsun Yi received the encouragement of the Son of Heaven, he immediately went back full of vitality to tackle the key problems!

He also took out the top reward - there is a person who can be this loom, and the east and west weaving room officials can choose! It has meritorious, and it will be rewarded by the size of the merit!

The team that had built the shuttle before was twisted out and rewarded, and the person with the greatest credit received an official position of 600 stones, and the other participants also received positions of 200 to 400 stones.

That's amazing!

The craftsmen want this thing the most - official position and status.

This is not only their dream, but also the dream of their family!

As a result, all the masters who participated in the research immediately forgot to sleep and eat, and raced against time to devote themselves to the research of the loom.

There are no details in the composition provided by Zhang Yue?

Never mind!

Little by little, they follow the outline, from the past experience.

Missing internal parts?

It doesn't matter, they give full play to their ingenuity and hard-working spirit, and try one by one!

Jingwei reclamation, Yugong moving mountains, in front of the official position and Feihuang Tengda, everyone is desperately stretching out their hands, wanting to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

…………………………

Northland County, the county governs the plain.

Captain Changshui and the cavalry of the Flying Fox Army, who had set off in advance, finally arrived here.

Guyuan is a great place!

It is close to the Huizhong Road and connected with the Hexi Corridor, which was the front line of the Han-Hungarian battlefield in the past, and now it has become the first major logistics base and military replenishment base of the Hexi Han Army.

It is now the beginning of September, the grass and trees are yellow, and the land is depressed.

Because of the war, the young and strong people of Beidi County basically became soldiers or civilian husbands and devoted themselves to the great cause of supporting Hexi, so along the way, the entire countryside of Beidi County was a little depressed.

The arrival of the Flying Fox Army and Captain Changshui immediately caused a shock up and down the northern ground.

Yang Wei, the Taishou, immediately led the crowd out of the city to greet him with sincere fear, and invited the army that quietly drove from Chang'an to the north, and settled down in the military camp outside Guyuan City, and then organized officials and people to bring wine and meat into the military camp to comfort and reward.

During this period, it is natural to inquire about the purpose of the army.

Xin Wuling and Xu Xiang picked up 'We are waiting to come here, but we are training on the orders of General Ying Yang, and there is no other meaning'.

It's good not to say this, but if you say it, there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

In an instant, the entire Beidi County knew that General Yingyang would lead the army to take over.

And this news, at a very fast speed, through the middle road, spread to the four counties of Hexi, and the pressure instantly came to the side of the Second Division!
