Chapter 707

"Do you really have a way to deseed those cottons?" Hu Yu's mouth trembled a little, but he remembered that the Western Xia was not without people of insight, and he once said that many places in the arid and rainless land of the Western Xia were very suitable for planting this plant.

But the problem is that this plant, that is, the deseeding of cotton, is definitely an extremely painful process, and if all the seeds are deseeded by hand, I am afraid that I don't know how much time it will take to complete the deseeding of cotton on an acre of land.

This is also the reason why in this era, the price of cotton cloth is not inferior to silk, and nowadays, a large amount of cotton, which lacks human deseeding, is more used as a filling for clothing to keep warm.

If there is really a very convenient way to take off the cottonseeds, Hu Yu believes that I am afraid that the area of Xingqing Mansion is definitely a snow-white cotton sea.

"Of course, this is not a difficult task, such a machine, the official only needs two or three days of work to make a sample. A machine only needs one or two people to operate, and the deseeded cotton produced in a day is not a thousand catties, but there are five or six hundred catties. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp again, and Zhi Keshi even slammed his tongue. "As far as I know, a skilled veteran can pick out five catties of seeded cotton at most a day, and you actually say that a machine can produce five or six hundred catties a day......"

"Otherwise, how dare someone be so ashamed?" Wang Daguan sniffed coquettishly and stood up. "Alright, that's all for today's impromptu meeting. The official went back first, and took advantage of the inspiration to get the machinery out first, by the way, Brother Xiude, there is one thing that has to bother you, first go to purchase three or five thousand catties of cotton that has not been seeded, and then it will be good to demonstrate. ”

After saying this, Wang Yang patted his ass and went straight away, leaving a group of people who were still immersed in the shock and had not yet come back to their senses.

"He, can he really have a way?" Li Mao couldn't help but ask with some hesitation.

"Don't underestimate Lord Wang, so far, Zhe Mou has never seen anything that he can't solve, or should he say so, but if he thinks it can be solved, then, you just need to wait for the result, as for the process, don't guess, because his brain is not something that ordinary people like us can compare." Zhi Keshi shrugged his shoulders very easily and said.

I had doubted it before, but I was blinded by reality, so now, how could I not believe in Wang Yang's strength and means?

After returning to his mansion, Wang Yang asked Wu Qilang to find the craftsman camp to pick a few trustworthy and powerful carpenters to come over, and in addition, he asked Ling Zong to send people to Huanzhou, and asked Wan Bin, who was supervising the production activities of the tannery, to come to Yanzhou.

Soon, several powerful and ingenious carpenters were summoned, and of course they also brought a batch of wood, and began to make them according to the structural diagram of the seed machine drawn by Wang Yang.

Cotton deseeding machine, later known as ginning machine, with Wang Dacaizi's design ideas, of course, is the simplest, but the most efficient kind of approach, although Yanzhou does not have a big river like the Wuding River, but there are still a few small rivers.

So Wang Yang designed two kinds of copyright at the beginning, one is a hydraulic ginning machine, and the other is a manpower ginning machine. The efficiency of the hydraulic ginning machine is naturally higher, faster and stronger, but the manual ginning machine is very small and flexible.

In fact, the carpenter's work is not difficult, but Wang Yang also found a few blacksmiths and asked them to build some parts, although they can also be used with wooden parts, but wooden parts are far less wear-resistant and durable than metal parts.

What's more, when the time comes, this kind of machinery will be able to make similar products soon if it is disassembled and trial-produced due to its simple structure, so if there are people with ulterior motives, they will soon be able to make similar products.

However, these metal parts are not so easy to imitate, first of all, Yuanyou coke-making, Yuanyou steel-making and other smelting technologies, so that Wang Yang can obtain high-quality metal parts.

Before a number of high-tech invented by Wang Yang became popular, parts manufacturing would become a unique business. It's a bit like the mobile phone industry in the 21st century.

Everyone can make mobile phone cases, all kinds of parts inside, think of a way, many people can also figure it out, but the processor, hehe, come on, apart from me, where else can you buy a processor with such excellent performance?

Therefore, unicorn companies with high-tech knowledge and leaving others far behind will always be one of the most profitable and promising companies.

It took less than two days for the prototype designed by Wang Yang to be successful, but in order to be more perfect, Wang Dacai did not expose it for the first time, but tried his best to find its performance shortcomings during the trial operation.

Before noon on the third day, Wan Bin took a carriage and rushed to Yanzhou with his long-legged concubine. Happily, he rushed straight to where Wang Yang's mansion was.

After Wang Yang heard this, he personally greeted the door, and Wan Bin couldn't wait to say to Wang Yang after saluting.

"I heard from the messenger you sent that you have made another wonderful machine of great ingenuity, and a wonderful tool for the creation of endless wealth.

But no matter how Wang asked, he refused to tell me what it was, and he finally rushed to Yanzhou today, how about it, should Wan take a good look at what the real thing is. ”

"Don't worry, the value of this thing is definitely above your imagination, but please wait a while, Wu Qilang, hurry up and notify all the adults to come over, so that they can also see this Yuanyou ginning machine together." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows proudly, welcomed Wan Bin into the mansion, and didn't forget to let Wu Qilang find more audiences to come over, so that he could show off.

It didn't take too long for Gao Yu and other Yanzhou civil ministers, as well as Zhi Keshi and other military generals to come one after another, and more than 20 civil and military officers all poured into Wang Yang's mansion.

And after a day of rest, he heard that Wang Yang had already thought of a way to solve the worries of the 70,000 Xiang army, and Gao Shize had already figured out the use of cotton, a highly drought-tolerant crop, and also knew that this thing was introduced from Tianzhu. It is only planted in small quantities in the Western Regions and Shaanxi Road, because although the woven cloth is very strong and durable, its greatest difficulty lies in the removal of seeds.

The cloth made of this cotton was introduced to the Central Plains as early as the Tang Dynasty, and was called white stacked cloth by Zhen, because although the cloth made of it was soft and fit, the price was not even inferior to silk because of the difficulty of removing seeds.
