Chapter 279: Double Plow 1/2

In order to study and build a loom, three carpenters and six apprentices conducted in-depth research on textile linen, and nine people could use the waist machine to spin linen, and the efficiency was not much worse than that of the female clansmen in the tribe.

A young carpenter in his twenties stepped forward, he sat on the machine, his hands and feet moving in unison, and the linen cloth on the loom was increasing in length little by little.

The technique of weaving linen cloth was originally brought by Su Yan to the Dragon Tribe, Su Yan was very familiar with weaving linen, looking at the process of the young carpenter spinning linen, Su Yan could feel that the weaving efficiency of this loom was much faster than that of the waist machine.

A skilled female tribesman uses a waist machine to spin linen, and five hours can probably weave a length of about half a foot of linen, but when it is replaced by a loom in front of her, even if the operation is not skilled, the efficiency is more than five times that of the waist machine.

That is to say, the efficiency of one person plus one loom is equivalent to the efficiency of ten people and ten waist machines, this is still the initial version of the loom, if you continue to improve, improve the weaving efficiency of the loom, the gap between the loom and the waist machine will be dozens of times.

"Good, good, you're doing a great job." Su Yan did not hesitate to praise the carpenters and their apprentices who built the loom.

Hearing the king's compliment, the carpenters and apprentices grinned, and the king's compliment was the best reward for them.

There are only words of praise and no other reward, and there is no way for Su Yan, the dragon tribe is still in a public-owned society, and the things that the clansmen have are almost the same, and there are not many special items that can be rewarded to them as rewards.

Su Yan asked an apprentice to go to the residential area to find three female tribesmen who were good at weaving, and the three female tribesmen tried the loom one after another, they were very unaccustomed to operating the loom, but they soon felt the huge gap between the loom and the waist machine.

"King, this loom is more useful." A woman of the tribe looked at the loom with burning eyes, and she very much wanted to have a loom of her own now, so that her weaving efficiency would be greatly improved.

There are various comparisons in the dragon tribe, the men compare who has higher force, faster speed, greater strength, more accurate archery, etc., and the women compare who catches more fish and weaves more, these comparisons can effectively promote the work efficiency of the tribesmen.

"Don't worry, each of you will soon have a loom." Su Yan first smiled and said to the three female clansmen, then turned his head and said to a few carpenters: "You build two more looms, and let the three of them try them first." ”

The loom in front of it has been recognized by everyone in the house, but it is not enough, the loom has just been manufactured for a few days, and the loom cannot be fully verified, the best verification is to put it into actual production, find problems in actual production, and then solve problems.

With the cooperation of carpenters and women who are skilled at weaving, the weaving machine is constantly improved, increasing the service life of the loom and the efficiency of weaving.

With the experience of making the first loom, soon two new looms were built, and three looms were delivered to the homes of the three women and handed over to the three women.

"So this is the loom!"

"If only I could be the first to use this loom."

"We'll be able to use this loom in the future."

The appearance of the three looms attracted many women to come and watch, they heard about the loom a few days ago, using the loom to weave cloth, they can weave more linen every day, they are very envious of the first three women to obtain the qualification to use the loom.

The first three women to get the loom became almost the protagonists of the three areas, and the other women were talking about them or the looms they had acquired.

Su Yan didn't care about the affairs of the female tribesmen, but said to a few carpenters: "You don't need to build a new loom for the next month, you can observe the use of these three looms separately, find out and solve the problems in the use of the loom, and make better looms in the future." ”

"King, we know." The three carpenters replied earnestly.

Because of the birth of the loom, Su Yan has been in a very good mood these days, even if the loom is not perfect, but its efficiency is about ten times that of the medicine.

Suppose that the dragon tribe originally needed a thousand people to use the waist machine to weave cloth to meet the needs of the entire dragon tribe, but now because of the appearance of the loom, only one hundred people are needed to reach the previous linen production.

A thousand and a hundred people, the huge gap can be imagined, the dragon tribe because of the appearance of the loom in the future can free up a large number of laborers to do other things.

The Dragon Tribe has always been short of labor, and the birth of the loom is too important for the Dragon Tribe.

The good news came one after another, and half a month later, a manpower plow suitable for use was born.

The human plough of the dragon tribe is very different from the modern human plough, with different shapes, different materials, and different forces.

Modern man-powered ploughs are relatively small and almost entirely made of metal, making it easy for one person to plough the land.

The dragon tribe's human plough body shape is more than double the body shape of the modern human plough, only the plow is made of copper, the rest are wooden, the most troublesome is that the dragon tribe's human plow needs two adult laborers to use, one in front with a rope, one in the back to push, both men and women.

The man-plough used by the dragon tribe is almost as efficient as the modern one-man plow, but because of the strength of the dragon tribe's people, they can continue to use the man-plough for a longer period of time.

If the difference between the manpower plough and the copper shovel or pickaxe plough is more than six times, as long as a large number of manpower ploughs are made, it means that next spring, under the same time and the same manpower, with the addition of manpower ploughs, the dragon tribe can completely expand the scale of land cultivated next year to three times this year.

In this way, the food produced in the fields will occupy the most important position in the food system of the dragon tribe.

A loom, a human plow, just the birth of these two instruments will be brought about by the dragon tribe to bring great changes, the human plow for the time being has not been much improved, Su Yan directly ordered the carpenters to build the human plough in batches, if necessary, you can send other clansmen to assist, at least three hundred human ploughs will be put into use in the spring ploughing next year.
