Chapter 120: The Textile Machine
Textile machine, this thing was there before the Tang Dynasty, of course, it is not called a textile machine, but a spinning wheel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info spinning wheel is very simple, a spinning wheel, a shelf, and a handle, but it is the wisdom of the people.
In the seventeenth century, after the improvement of the steam engine in England, more advanced looms appeared, which did not require much manpower and did not need to be operated too much, but the weaving speed was indeed amazing.
The steam engine was not applied to the textile machine at that time, and the earliest improved textile machine at that time was the Rousseau bed loom, which only needed to be cranked by hand to drive the silk threads to combine and form cloth.
Compared with Datang's textile machine, this is undoubtedly a necessary artifact that can improve production efficiency, and Meng Yu has already begun to prepare, and now he has a model in hand, only owing to craftsmen.
Today he is going to say hello to those villagers and ask them to finish this weaving machine, after all, Meng Yu's own time is running out, and he will go to Goguryeo in four days.
If he didn't get this loom out now, he probably wouldn't be able to go to Goguryeo with peace of mind, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to die with peace of mind.
"Yu'er, as soon as you get this loom, then our requirements for hemp and silk will increase, how can we increase the output of silk in the future?" Chen Yipin is also an old farmer, so he naturally wants to get this problem.
The emergence of looms will undoubtedly increase the requirements for silk and twine, but judging from the current output of silk and twine in Datang, it is not enough to drive the spread of textile machines.
Meng Yu smiled slightly: "Uncle, do you remember the pond in front of your house?" If we plant mulberry trees next to the pond and raise silkworms there, and then the silkworm sand can feed the fish, and the fish manure can also give nutrients to the mulberry trees, isn't it more than one stone? ”
"It's indeed a good way, Yu'er, you kid is really smart, I'll transplant a few mulberry trees in a few days, so as to prepare for silkworm breeding in the future!" Chen Yipin couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and praised Meng Yu over and over again.
The method proposed by Meng Yu is the current method of rational use of resources, according to the principle of carbon cycle, this kind of agriculture is almost the trend of the 21st century, so there is not too much bad.
In short, this method can not only shorten the planting range, but also make reasonable use of resources, mainly because it is very environmentally friendly, and can maintain water and soil, which is an absolutely good breeding method for Datang.
Chen Yipin took Meng Yu all the way, he had already arranged for those carpenters in the countryside to come together a few days ago, and then make this weaving machine, because it was mentioned that Meng Yu asked them to help, they were also happy to come over.
Speaking of which, Meng Yu's influence in the countryside is still quite large, otherwise according to human feelings, there will always be some people who will not come.
The workload of the textile machine is very large, and it may still need a lot of practice, but Meng can't manage it so much, he can only deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise he will have to bother in the future, he doesn't like it very much.
………
Soon, Meng Yu arrived in front of a wooden house, where a table was placed, and a group of old men surrounded the table, looking at Meng Yu with a smile on their faces, and bowing their heads slightly to him.
"Hehe, hurry up!" Chen Yipin smiled, looked at the young man beside him very seriously, and hurriedly quickened his pace. "By the way, Yu'er, you have to make it clear, today's matter is related to the life of the farmer in the future, don't be sloppy!"
Hehe...
"Naturally!" Meng Yu followed closely, came to the table, and said with a smile: "Brothers, the boy Mencius has seen you, the boy came today to do you a favor, everyone, please see!" ”
Meng Yu slowly took out the model of the loom from his sleeve, gently placed it on the table, and looked at the group of carpenters with a hippie smile, hoping to get their affirmation.
Meng Yu was a mechanic, for carpentry he is also very fond of carpentry, often study ancient Chinese carpentry skills, his model is also the use of the ancient method of counting wooden buckles, will not use a nail, so the structure will be more complicated.
Ancient Chinese carpentry is very strong, how strong it is, for example, a carpenter will not use nails to do any workpiece, not nothing, and can not be used, their family feels that using nails is an insult to carpentry, so they never use it.
Meng Yu took out this model today, and he didn't use nails, mainly because he was afraid that this group of old carpenters couldn't, otherwise he wouldn't be too lazy to make it so complicated, and the problem that could be solved by nails immediately was that he had to use a carving knife to cut out a few wooden buckles, which was much more difficult.
"Hehe, this is... Loom? Suddenly, an old carpenter smiled in shock. This is too powerful, such a structure can be so fine, Ziran, you are really talented, why don't you come and do carpentry? ”
Another old carpenter played with the model with appreciation, and exclaimed: "This is really a big deal, everything is condensed to such specifications, very powerful, both the structure and the function are perfect, Brother Yu is very standard, but such a small workpiece can weave cloth?" ”
Meng Yu listened to the comments of the two old men, and breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took out a piece of straw paper and put it on the table, and then talked about it in a loud voice.
It is a data drawing, which is a data processing for the expansion of the model, which is very simple, that is, the size of the model is enlarged, which is made by Meng Yu in combination with the scale of the model itself, with almost zero error.
After explaining the specific situation to the big guy, Meng Yu sat leisurely on the side, waiting for the speeches of several old carpenters, after all, they have the most right to speak here, where is the decades of experience, people have to be convinced.
"This thing is very good, but there are a few unreasonable places here, please look at it, brother, there are some problems with your ring head, if we make it active, wouldn't it be better, and the handle here, I think you can add some clay to bake, and then it will be more stable!" An old carpenter told the story.
Meng Yu also listened attentively, nodded with interest, and said: "The rest of the rest is up to you, today's boy let's make it clear, the money for this textile machine is all from me alone, and I will be responsible for the popularization in the future, you are not strange, there are five thousand taels here, I will give it to Uncle Chen in person, if you want to use it in the future, you will take it yourself!" ”
Meng Yu smiled slightly, and then left, just now, he saw someone waving to him in the distance, and he had to go and take a look.
"I'm sorry, the kid still has some matters to deal with, go first, this matter will be entrusted to all the folks, it will be good for our countryside in the future, you must do your best, Ziran thank you!" Meng Yu bowed again and left in a hurry.
The old carpenter's eyes flashed, and they looked at the model and said loudly: "We will definitely live up to my brother's trust, and I will definitely do my best to complete this weaving machine!" ”
Meng Yu waved his hand, walked leisurely towards the beautiful figure, touched his nose, and wondered: "Why is she here..."
