Chapter 577: Improving Textile Techniques
After Qin Feiyan's marriage ended, Qin Tian locked himself in the experimental room, and sent someone to find him a lot of wood and tools every day.
The Nine Princesses and the others knew that he was making some improvements to the weaving, but they were really strange, the weaving technology had not been improved for many years, and their Hou Ye, a big man, could improve the weaving technology?
Everyone was puzzled and curious, but they didn't bother Qin Tian either.
After three days like this, Qin Tiancai finally announced that it was completed.
After it was done, everyone was even more strange.
"Xianggong, you can improve your textile skills in three days, it's not a joke, right?" Tang Rong asked curiously.
Qin Tian smiled: "Madam doesn't believe it, you'll know if you try it later, you can also weave." ”
Tang Rong rolled her eyes, thinking that she would have to try it later.
Once inside, they saw a relatively large machine.
"It's so big, how many people have to be able to operate it." The ninth princess didn't know anything about weaving, and when she saw it, she pouted.
"Just one person!"
"Just one person?" Everyone was amazed, because the most convenient loom nowadays can only be completed by the cooperation of two people, and as for the very old one, it can only be woven with the help of several people.
"I'll try."
Tang Rong volunteered to do it, and Qin Tian taught her how to do it.
"There is a pedal below, when weaving, you keep stepping on the pedal, here above, there is a weave, the weave is worn back and forth here, you can weave the thread left and right, to weave into cloth, how long did it take you to weave a three-foot cloth before?"
This Tang Rong thought for a while and said, "The three-foot cloth takes half a day, even if the craftsmanship is good, it will take two hours for two people to cooperate." ”
"It doesn't take that long, half an hour, one person can do it."
"Really?" Tang Rong said, and began to try, her feet stepped underneath, and the weave on it flew back and forth, and soon, a piece of cloth was woven by him.
Seeing the cloth that appeared so quickly, Tang Rong's whole person was shocked.
The Ninth Princess was also stunned here, and he finally understood why Qin Tianshu was not afraid of competing with others.
Their efficiency is several cups of others, so in terms of supply, and cost, they have been reduced a lot, so good quality, low price, who can be their opponent?
Those merchants who buy goods are not stupid, under the same quality, they must be cheap, not to mention that their quality is not bad.
With this improved loom, they can compete with the Gao family.
"Fu Bo, go to the craftsmen, give them this drawing, and let them give me a vigorous production loom, by the way, find a place to build a factory in Chang'an City, and buy shops in the east and west cities to sell."
"Okay, young master, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with this matter."
After Fu Bo took it, he ran away in a hurry, he was very motivated, after all, it was his mother-in-law who ran the embroidery workshop, and he couldn't do it if he didn't work hard.
--------------------
Just when Fu Bo and the others were busy with the affairs of the embroidery workshop, Qin Tian entered the palace on his side.
"Holy!"
When Li Shimin saw Qin Tian coming, he was very curious and said, "Is there anything wrong with Qin Aiqing?" ”
"Shengshang, now that the imperial examination has ended, it is very satisfying, and the revision of the law is almost coming to an end, the minister now has two things I want to talk to the Shengshang, if it is implemented, it will definitely be beneficial to my Datang."
Everything is in accordance with the program of the Tang Dynasty, the matter of talents is solved, and then the economy will be developed, hearing Qin Tian's words, Li Shimin already knows what he is doing more or less what he is for, and this is exactly what he has to consider.
"What does Qin Aiqing want to say?"
"The first thing is to increase the output of grain, so that I don't have to worry about grain and grass, there is enough grain and grass, the war can be worry-free, the people can eat enough, many problems can be solved, and the second thing is to encourage business."
Li Shimin nodded: "It is imperative to increase grain production, what is Qin Aiqing's good strategy?" ”
"Shengshang, some places in the south, in fact, can be planted after planting rice, and then plant some wheat, so that the place where the two crops can become three crops, the three crops can be said to be a lot of food that my Datang has improved, and then there is the reclamation of wasteland, my Datang land is vast, but many places are lacking in population, and the land in those places is not cultivated, if these lands are reclaimed and planted with food, it will naturally be able to increase the grain of my Datang a lot."
Hearing that Qin Tian was going to plant wheat in some places in the south, Li Shimin was stunned, it seems that there is no wheat growing in that kind of place in the south, right?
"Qin Aiqing, if you can grow wheat in the south, it will naturally be a good thing, but can this wheat grow in the south?"
"Saintly, wheat can be grown in many places, and after autumn, the wheat is planted, the wheat is cold-tolerant, and the harvest will be able to be harvested in the late spring and early summer of the following year, and then the rice will be planted again, and there will be no delay."
Listening to Qin Tian's words, Li Shimin touched his chin and hesitated, but he didn't say anything more, but changed to another aspect.
"Reclamation of land is naturally a good thing, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of difficulties in the meantime, one, some places are too desolate, not necessarily people are willing to go, this is equivalent to migration, and again, a lot of land actually has an owner, even if it is a wasteland, there are also owners, in this case, how do we reclaim?"
As long as it concerns the country, it is unlikely that anything is a trivial matter, and land reclamation is no exception.
As long as they are willing to reclaim wasteland, the saint can give them some preferential treatment, for example, after the wasteland is reclaimed, they will be exempted from two years of forced labor, if some prisoners are willing to go, their punishment can also be reduced, if the slaves are willing to go, they can be given free status, etc., as for those who own wasteland, this is also easy to say, the court can give them some compensation, if they are unwilling, then they can only come hard, Under the means of the Holy Lord, they were powerless to resist at all. ”
To govern the country, there can be no less kindness, and there can be no less iron and blood, and for those who refuse to listen to good words, then they can only resort to scoundrel acts, otherwise, many things cannot be done.
What Qin Tian said was relatively detailed, and after listening to it, Li Shimin felt that although it was not a perfect strategy, it was somewhat feasible, and there was still a way to increase the grain output of Datang.
"Okay, this matter will be discussed tomorrow morning, and business will be encouraged, what do you think?"
