After a while, Yun Dingxing had already followed Zou Wenteng in, and there was a big wooden frame with a strange appearance behind him, Yun Dingxing was still holding an iron rod in his hand, his face was full of excitement, and after entering the hall, he hurriedly ordered the two of them to put down the wooden frame: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Hmm, Yun Qing's face is so happy today, but there is good news to tell this palace?"

"Exactly, prince, please see, with this thing, the spinning cloth can be at least two or three times faster in the future." Yun Dingxing took the wooden frame to Yang Yong like a treasure.

Yang Yong was overjoyed: "Yes, I'll take a look." Yang Yong picked up this wooden frame and looked carefully, there are three side-by-side wheels above the wooden frame, and there is a pedal below, Yang Yong was born in the countryside in his previous life, and there is a reflection for that kind of household sewing machine, this wooden frame is obviously absorbed by Yang Yong to Yun Dingxing's pedal design, the pedal is connected to the three wheels with a sliding rope, only by stepping on it, the wheel will rotate quickly, Yang Yong understands at a glance, this is the loom he wants.

Yang Yong has been to the weaving yard to visit the current weaving, are women using a hand-cranked single spindle spinning wheel, with this wooden frame, not only can form three spindles at the same time, and the speed of the foot is much faster than the hand crank, but also free people's hands, this advantage and compared with the previous is more than three times faster.

This spinning wheel is actually equivalent to the three spindle foot spinning wheel created by Huang Daopo hundreds of years later, this spinning wheel came out, more than 100 years later, the Ming Dynasty became the ocean of absorbing the world's wealth, and Huang Daopo's hometown Jiang area has become a national textile center, which has not faded for hundreds of years. At the beginning of the 16th century, the cloth woven by local farmers had tens of thousands of horses a day, and the Songjiang cloth was exported to all over the world, until the Jenny loom and steam engine in England came out in the nineteenth century, which broke the advantage of the East in textiles.

"Good! Good! Yang Yong couldn't stop praising it: "Yun Aiqing, this alone is enough to leave a name in Qing history." ”

Although it seems like a simple change. But if no one studies it, even after hundreds of years, no one may be able to make it, and with this spinning wheel, soon the north will surpass the south Chen and become the new textile center. At that time, whether it is military or economic, the south will not be able to compete, not to mention that with this sharp weapon, it will also be of great use against various ethnic groups in the grassland.

Yun Dingxing was a little flattered by what he said, and said sneeringly: "I don't dare to take credit for my humble position, this is all the work of the prince's guidance." ”

"Your share of credit will still be your credit, don't worry, I will report to the court truthfully. At that time, you will inevitably hold a half-official position, by the way, what are you doing with an iron rod in your hand? ”。

Yun Dingxing's face flushed with excitement, and when he heard Yang Yong ask, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, by the way." This iron rod was used to remove the cottonseed and use it, with him. It can speed up the deseeding by seven or eight times, and the price of cotton cloth can be greatly reduced in the future. ”

Among all the cloths, cotton cloth has the most processes, planting and picking. Remove the seeds. Stretching cotton, spinning, and finally weaving. Each item consumes a lot of labor, so cotton cloth has not yet become popular, Yang Yong only found that the price of cotton cloth is three or four times the price of silk when he first asked the price, hearing that this iron rod can increase the efficiency of deseeding by seven or eight times, Yang Yong couldn't help but wonder: "How to use?" ”

Yun Dingxing was prepared, and directly took out more than a dozen cotton balls from his body that had not yet shed seeds and put them on the ground, and used an iron rod to grind them up and down, and the cotton seeds inside were immediately crushed out. Yun Dingxing handed the cotton ball that had been deseeded to Yang Yong, and said proudly: "Your Highness, you see, wouldn't this speed up several times." ”

That's too easy, right? Yang Yong couldn't help but ask: "How did you deseed cotton before?" ”

Yun Dingxing was stunned for a moment, the prince seemed to know everything, how could he ask such a simple question, and only replied after a while: "Your Highness, in the past, cotton women used to peel off the cotton seeds directly with their hands, which was not only slow, but also easy to hurt their hands after a long time. ”

"Peel by hand?" Only then did Yang Yong know how backward agricultural production is now, no wonder cotton cloth is more expensive than silk, and a country can't even get hundreds of thousands of cotton clothes. Yang Yong had a feeling of enlightenment in his heart, in fact, with his experience in the countryside in his previous life, he could casually find several methods that were several times faster than peeling cottonseeds by hand.

You must know that the land of China in later generations has carried a population of 1.3 billion, and agriculture has been more advanced than it is now for more than 1,000 years.

There is food in the hand, there is no panic in the heart, most dynasties are overthrown, the population has grown to a certain limit, and the corrupt officials are rampant, the common people can not survive before they revolt, if agriculture can come to a great leap forward, the court will have the ability to feed more troops, open up more land, greatly extend the time of the rise and fall of the alternation, the Great Sui Dynasty is not impossible to stand for a thousand years.

Seeing that Yang Yong was just smiling and silent, Yun Dingxing was a little uneasy: "Prince, what's wrong with what you say about your humble position?" ”

"No, very good, tomorrow you wait outside the palace gate, waiting for the emperor to send an edict at any time, these two items will be temporarily left in the East Palace, and the palace will present it to the emperor tomorrow, remember, this matter is kept secret for the time being, and no one should tell you."

"Yes, I understand, thank you Prince." Yun Dingxing went down gratefully, and even Yun Mei'er forgot to take a look.

Looking at these two items, Yang Yong has been in excitement, starting from the weaving, the Great Sui will far exceed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in later generations, until half an hour later, Yang Yong ordered someone to cover it with a red cloth and start writing the chapter.

The next morning, when the court was almost finished, and Yang Jian was about to announce his retirement from the court, Yang Yong stood up: "Father, the emperor, the son has something to do." ”

Yang Jian smiled and said, "The prince has something to say." ”

It is rare for the prince to speak, but when he speaks, he often speaks in one sentence, and when he heard that the prince had something to do, all the ministers hurriedly pricked up their ears.

"Father, the son has two things to present to his father, and I ask my father for permission!"

Yang Jian was very interested, the prince presented him something, of course, it was a sign of the prince's filial piety, he nodded: "Accurate!" ”

"The emperor has a decree, Zhun Tai

Tribute! The guards passed down the emperor's will layer by layer, until Huangxing had been waiting outside the palace for a long time and heard the edict. Hurriedly led the three people behind him to the inner hall.

All the ministers were very curious about the prince's dedication to the land, and they kept stretching their necks to look outside the hall, only to see four people stepping into the hall under the guidance of the guards, and one of them had nothing to lose. The other man was holding a box, but unfortunately it was covered with a piece of red silk, and the other two were carrying a huge object, which was unfortunately also covered with red silk.

After the four of them entered the palace, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put down their things, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The villain sees the emperor!" ”

Yang Jian's face was difficult to look at, and he had been in view of the difficulties of state affairs since he ascended to the pole. It has always advocated thrift, and even the food of each palace stipulates that there can be no wine and meat except for festivals, which shows how industrious and thrifty it is, at the beginning some officials did not believe it, and one person paid tribute to Yang Jian ten precious gorgeous silks, and Yang Jian let people set fire to the palace on the spot. Demote the person who made the offering.

On another occasion, an official came to the offering site, although it was ordinary ginger, but it was only packed in fine sheepskin felt. As a result, Yang Jian was furious, not only demoted this person, but also made people beat forty boards with a cane, and now no matter whether the items offered by Yang Yongjin are expensive or cheap, they are covered with good red silk. It's too luxurious anyway. Gao Ying, Su Wei and others were secretly anxious for Yang Yong, and secretly said that the prince was reckless. Others are schadenfreude to see what the emperor does with the crown prince.

"Prince, is this the gift you want to give me?" Yang Jian's tone was full of disappointment.

"The minister wants to impeach the emperor for the prince's extravagance."

"The minister also wants to impeach the emperor for the prince's disloyalty and filial piety, which is a failure to teach the emperor."

"The minister must also impeach the crown prince to the emperor."

……

Hearing the emperor's tone, many ministers who thought they were smart ran out and impeached Yang Yong one after another, Yun Dingxing and the other three ordinary craftsmen were kneeling on the ground, and when they saw the ministers suddenly impeaching the prince, they couldn't help but be stupid, and they almost collapsed on the ground and couldn't move.

Yang Yong sneered in his heart, what he has done as a prince over the years has been quite restrained, it can be said that he rarely offends people, but he didn't expect that after a try, so many ministers couldn't wait to oppose him, but unfortunately their actions today were destined to be in vain, because they didn't expect that the things covered under the red silk would be enough to make Da Sui rich in a short time.

Gao Yingmeng glanced at Yang Yong, signaling him to quickly confess his guilt to the emperor, and a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Yong's mouth: "Father, the son has always been by his father's side, listening to his father's teachings, if the Great Sui is not rich, how dare the son be luxurious, if the father has seen the following things and thinks that the son is luxurious, the son is willing to admit his guilt." ”

Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh, Yang Yong has always been dedicated to his duties since he became the crown prince, and the national plans he has contributed several times are also quite insightful, and he does not make casual friends with officials, Yang Jian is still very satisfied with his eldest son at least now, and his face softened when he heard this: "The prince said so, then I want to see what it is?" ”

"Yes, Father." Yang Yong first lifted the red silk on the box, revealing a subway stick that was only the thickness of a finger inside, everyone was surprised, and they didn't expect that since there was an iron rod under the red silk, they looked at Yang Yong blankly.

"Prince, is this what you want to offer to me?"

"Ridiculous, His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, should not tease the emperor." Yuan Kai first accused.

Yang Yong knew why Yuan Kai would oppose him, it was nothing more than that he rejected Lu Ben's accusations against Gao Ying and Su Wei. These days, I have frequently received news about the gatherings of Yuan Kai, Liu Fang, Li Xun, Lu Ben and others from the hands of the dark guards, but I didn't expect that I was also in their calculations.

Yang Yong ignored Yuan Kai's accusation, turned to Yang Jian and said: "Father, it is this thing, although this thing is inconspicuous, it can benefit the people, the country is rich and strong, it is really a rare treasure, and the sons dare to dedicate it to their father." ”

After speaking, Yang Yong personally showed the effect of the iron rod, all the ministers were dumbfounded, I didn't expect a small iron rod to have such an effect, although most of these people are from families, many people can also calculate the relationship, although the deseeding only has to be cotton cloth production in the middle of the ground, but it is self-evident what it means to improve the efficiency of several times.

Sun Bi, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Industry, first said: "Congratulations to the emperor, the prince's dedication to this thing should be regarded as a priceless treasure, which will be of great benefit to the country and the people." ”

Gao Ying, Su Wei and others also reacted, and congratulated the emperor one after another, and the ministers who impeached Yang Yong just now were all annoyed, if this thing is really so powerful, it is not said to be red silk, even if it is wrapped in gold and silver, it is acceptable.

"Okay, good, prince, what is the other thing?" Yang Jian couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty, please look!" Yang Yong lifted the red silk and showed the loom, and when he saw the strange-looking loom, everyone shook their heads, not knowing what to do.

"Prince, what is this?"

"Your Majesty, Erchen wants the craftsman who made this thing to demonstrate it in person!"

"Accurate!"

Yang Yongxiang kicked Yun Dingxing, who was still paralyzed on the ground, and he stood up tremblingly, although poor Yun Dingxing had been a petty official before, he had never seen the emperor, and he was frightened just now, his hands and feet had already become weak, and he made several mistakes before the loom really turned.

Despite this, hearing the function of this thing, everyone was amazed, even Yang Jian also stepped down from the dragon chair, carefully observed, to know what cloth is now, cloth is money, the ministers, the army rewards can be used cloth, the sale of goods can be used cloth, and this thing is not like the iron rod of Zecai, only cotton cloth is available, silk, kudzu and other things can not be accelerated several times, as long as this thing is promoted, the people of the Great Sui will soon be able to have clothes to wear, and the treasury will soon be full.

Everyone was amazed, and Yang Jian returned to the dragon chair after a long time around the loom: "The things that the prince offered today are still the foundation of my great Sui ...... strong."

Just as Yang Jian was rewarding the East Palace heavily, Yang Yong interrupted the emperor's words: "Wait, father, son, son, and music." ”
