His movements are not fast, but the muscles all over his body bulge high, punch after punch, each punch is blowing, the strength is gradually increasing, Zhu Youlang has the heart to probe his bottom, and he does not fight back, just blindly blocking, passive defense, from the form of it seems that Lu Shiren has the upper hand.

However, in the process of defense, Zhu Youlang found that Lu Shiren was not fast enough when he exerted his strength, although he was very powerful, but he did not have that fierceness and ruthlessness. It seems that he is a pure practitioner, and he still lacks actual combat experience.

Lu Shiren moved forward with all his strength, swinging his fist vigorously, seeing Zhu Youlang retreating step by step, about to shrink to the corner of the field, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.

But he couldn't prevent Zhu Youlang from hooking at his feet, he used too much force for a while, and he couldn't retract his strength, so he only felt that the next plate was light, and he had fallen to the ground, almost eating a dog and eating.

When he wanted to get up again, he felt that his throat had been pinched by Zhu Youlang's fingers, and his body was also pressed by his knees.

Lu Shiren's face was incredulous, and he said reluctantly: "Your Majesty is cheating, although the minister is defeated, he will not accept it." ā€

Zhu Youlang stood up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Compared with fists, it is easy not to be negligent, soldiers, treacherous." When the hard power is insufficient, only by surprise can the enemy be defeated! ā€

Lu Shiren was still a little unconvinced, but when he heard him say this at this time, he suddenly realized that His Majesty was saying in disguise that he had good kung fu but not enough skill, and he couldn't help but blush, and said: "What Your Majesty said is reasonable, and the minister has been taught." ā€

"Good punching, I'm rewarded." Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "Come on, reward Lu Aiqing with ten taels of silver and five pieces of high-grade Songjiang cloth." The waiter who was waiting on the side of the competition heard Zhu Youlang's order, and hurriedly agreed.

After appreciating Lu Shiren, Zhu Youlang still said with some unfinished feelings: "Let's go here for today's morning exercise, I still have to deal with military and political affairs, and at the same hour tomorrow, let's continue to learn one or two!" ā€

Lu Shiren knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty is intentional, and Weichen dares not to be unsatisfied?" ā€

While he was talking, Yang Shouchun, the great internal supervisor, ran over out of breath, and said in a somewhat hurried voice: "The emperor...... Emperor, that's... The spinning wheel is finished! ā€

"Really?" Zhu Youlang pressed his shoulder, and there was a surprise in his heart.

Yang Shouchun responded vigorously, and the corners of his eyes were squeezed into a ball of chrysanthemums because of a smile: "The carpenters and weavers in the craftsman camp have already designed that new spinning wheel according to your ideas, and it is in the carpentry workshop of the craftsman camp in the west of the city." ā€

"Let's go, go out of the palace with me, remember, the car is simple, and there is no need for a guard of honor." After Zhu Youlang listened, his face was happy, and he hurriedly changed into civilian clothes and went to the artisan camp in the west of the city under the guidance of Yang Shouchun.

Since determining the general direction of the sea trade market, Zhu Youlang began his fund-raising plan, he collected in detail the knowledge learned in his previous life, and chose a not too conspicuous, but can have the greatest impact on the times, that is, to improve the spinning machine!

From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, cotton textiles have gradually become the main raw materials for the clothing of the Chinese people, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the cotton textile industry and cotton cloth processing industry in the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly.

In the current Daming Songjiang and other places, is the world's cotton spinning center, with cotton cloth cloth is the world, at this time in Suzhou, at least more than 10,000 private machine households, the number of weavers hired is very considerable, in Suzhou all over the place, every day the sound of the machine rolling, midnight endlessly. At that time, the skilled workers of the Ming Dynasty could get four or five taels of yarn a day, and the weaver could get a piece of cloth a day.

The cotton cloth varieties of Daming can also be described as a thousand forms, just in the cotton cloth produced in Songjiang all over the country, there are standard cloth, buckle cloth, rare cloth, fan cloth, Rong spot cloth, medium machine, small cloth, three shuttle cloth, Longdun cloth, cloud cloth, flying flower cloth, sizing gauze cloth and so on. In these places, the wealthy merchants and magnates came to the market with heavy money, and the silver was tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of taels, and as little as tens of thousands.

At this time, the loom and spinning machine were relatively advanced compared with the Europeans of the same era, but Zhu Youlang knew that it still had a lot of room for improvement. Of course, due to his limited knowledge, he only knows the idea of improvement, but he does not know how to improve it.

A few days ago, Zhu Youlang invited more than a dozen women who were proficient in weaving from the families of the artisan household camp, and learned from them that in addition to the wooden hand-cranked spinning machine, there were also water-driven water-turned large spinning wheels driven by water, but whether it was hand-cranked or water-driven, the spindles of the spinning machines were all horizontally rotated, and only one yarn could be spun at a time.

After listening to their introductions, Zhu Youlang combined the principle of Jenny's spinning machine in his memory to suggest that they could try to rotate several spindles side by side vertically at the same time.

The women were amazed by the advice, but they did not know how to make the spindle perpendicular and turn at the same time.

Zhu Youlang was helpless, knowing the mindset of these women, he had to think of a way to guide them to think, he deliberately kicked it over when the spinning machine was turning, and the spindle immediately changed from horizontal to upright.

Seeing that the spindle was still rotating after becoming upright, the women still didn't know why, only a middle-aged woman in a big red skirt showed a thoughtful look, and after a long time, she finally understood the key and boldly explained her thoughts to the emperor.

Zhu Youlang was quite pleased when he heard this, and told everyone what the middle-aged woman named Zhao thought, and the other women were immediately stunned when they heard it.

People are like this, often ignoring the already common phenomena because of habitual thinking. Many inventions start with breaking out of habitual thinking.

After getting Zhao's suggestion, everyone's thinking became active at once, and under everyone's brainstorming, dozens of top-notch carpenter masters in the craftsman camp worked together, and after five or six days of exploration, they finally made a new spinning machine that can turn four spindles at the same time.

However, after trying it a few times, they found that the spinning yarn was not strong enough and the quality was not very good, so the carpenters discussed with the women who were proficient in spinning, and wanted to find an excellent and effective way to improve the spinning machine. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the good news of success came.

In the carpentry workshop of the craftsman camp, a dry carpenter household and the women were already waiting on the side, and when they saw the emperor enter the house, they immediately knelt down and bowed.

"Let's all be flat."

After everyone got up, Zhu Youlang asked the carpenters to carry out the new spinning wheel for him to see.

The improved spinning machine consisted of four wooden legs, a rotating shaft under the machine, a slide rail, and four vertical spindles, and the original hand-cranked type was supposed to be installed by the carpenters as a foot-operated type.

In order to confirm the effectiveness of the new spinning wheel in front of him, Zhu Youlang ordered Zhao to spin a piece of yarn for him personally, and Zhao took the order to step forward, picked up the cotton spindle and spun it a little rusty, after all, it was the first time to control a spinning machine with four spindles at the same time.

After a while, after she offered the spun yarn, Zhu Youlang's face showed unconcealed joy.

After taking the cotton yarn in his hand and looking at it carefully, he said with satisfaction: "The thickness is uniform, tough and firm, and it is a high-grade cotton yarn." Everyone on his side was overjoyed when he heard this.
