The tools needed for a simple rocker hammer are actually very simple, a few trees that are hard and tough enough, carpentry with a certain skill, four large copper rivets, and a wheel that can spin: water, donkey, or even human. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The length of the connecting rod, how big a hammer can be driven after the loss of rotation strength, etc., made Chen Jian's head bigger, and he spent two days in the room solving calculus and vector equations that he had not used for many years, recalling the horror of being dominated by the limits of functions and mechanics many years ago, in order to determine the optimal moment length and angle, and not to waste a pitiful amount of power as much as possible.

When Chen Jian walked out of the house with red eyes, his hair was messy and greasy, and it was haggard like mud.

The two most skilled carpenters were grabbed by Chen Jian and told them the length of the wooden connecting rod to be prepared, where to drill the holes, and where to wrap them in copper to ensure the strength of the places where the force was most stressed.

Take out a small number of brass ingots, and ask the Chinese people who had originally done melting and casting in Xiacheng to melt them with the crucible method to make thick rivets, anyway, now there is coal, and the melting point of copper is only 1,000 degrees, which can be easily reached. Brass is not bronze, toughness is okay.

The rest of the carpenters, who were temporarily idle, were arranged by Chen Jian to make a batch of strange bows, made of elm or mulberry wood, but they were extremely thick and long, and obviously not used for archery.

After finishing it, Chen Jian took a small mallet and improvised a wool version of "playing cotton", and came to the dyeing and spinning department with these flicking bows, and before he went to the farm, he had asked the people of the dyeing and spinning department to wash the wool with grass and wood ash water to remove the grease.

The Dyeing and Spinning Division is the most profitable group in the planning of the Yucheng workshop, and it is also something that Chen Jian attaches great importance to, and a large number of winter clothes will be prepared in the coming winter.

Winter clothes are clothes, and they are naturally inseparable from cloth.

There are two kinds of fabrics, spun fabrics with warp and weft threads, and non-woven fabrics without warp and weft threads. Wool can be made of both kinds, both can be spun into wool or even wool for wool, which requires warp and weft structure; It can also be smashed into wool felt, which is the simplest warp and weft structure, like the hair on the body of a wild dog.

What will be produced this winter is a batch of wool felt, and the production is simple, and the treatment of knighthood can be distinguished in different ways: he was never prepared to engage in absolute egalitarianism.

Hand-rolled wool felt as the welfare ration of the old countrymen above the eighth class, such wool felt has a low yield, but the thickness is uniform, soft and beautiful.

The wool felt smashed by the hydraulic hammer is used as a welfare ration for the people of the twelfth rank and above, and the wool felt has a high yield, but it is stiff and ugly, and the thickness is uneven.

The level of knighthood does not mean that you are superior in personality, it only means that you have not worked enough, and you have not paid enough for the city, that's all. No matter how it is changed, the distribution of public property within the people of Xia Cheng is still calculated according to work, and absolute egalitarianism is an outdated thing in the clan era.

Built on the ruins of the Clan Era, Xia Cheng does not need to face the ideological onslaught of entrenched identity and bloodline inheritance rights. Thought is like a blank piece of paper, and pen and ink are the mode of production and the system of rights in Xia Cheng.

The difference between this kind of knightly treatment can be intuitively reflected: it takes five people to be busy for five days and 25 labors to roll out the felt by hand, while it only takes two people half a day to smash it out with a simple hydraulic hammer. The former can be called the crafts of this era, and the latter can be called the necessities of this era.

But before this distinction, there is one more process that is all the same, and that is to play the wool.

Any textile raw material must go through the process of elastication, and the fibers are dispersed to form a criss-cross interwoven structure, so that it can be made into felt and can be spun into wool.

This is a manual work, and when iron appears, it can make a simple wool comb, and a simple bullet is no longer competent for the weaving of wool and fleece, and those who do this will also be called carders.

Physical exhaustion, low salary, and insufficient technical content are tedious and repetitive labor that men are unwilling to bear, and women who can bear tedious and repetitive labor cannot do it.

From the history of Chen Jian's previous life, it can be seen that this type of work is the most bitter - when the first carding workers strike and revolt, it was still 70 years before the fall of Constantinople, and only 40 years after they knew about such a thing as gunpowder.

Their Celestial counterparts also came soon after, but their Celestial counterparts were not the lowest-level proletarian carders, but the more advanced propertied weavers, who opposed the plundering of primitive accumulation by feudal rights.

Of course, they can all be called scum who don't understand each other and forbearance for the country by moral role models, just like Li Chuang, the country is at war, you can't starve to death, why make trouble for the empire?

In essence, the carder and the proligate weaver are twin twins of capital defending their own interests, and would have taken a similar path had it not been for later accidents. Since there is a child, there must be a mother.

Of course, this kind of thing will not happen so soon in Yucheng, and the treatment from slaves to workshop workers is actually about the same, but a slogan that gives them the status of a human can always last for a few months.

Under extreme oppression, the terrible situation of not having food to eat if you don't work, and being killed if you escape, forced the workshop workers in Yucheng to accept this kind of work. They had nothing, and even the simple wooden houses on the island where they originally lived were burned down by Chen Jian, and the strict control of the ships made them have no way out.

A large number of men in the Dyeing and Spinning Department were also prepared by Jian Chen for this kind of thing a long time ago, and the simple flicking bow was distributed, and the wool was picked and flew everywhere by beating the bowstring, and there were naturally people from the Planning and Statistics Department secretly observing in the distance to determine the minimum quota for each day.

These simple slingshots were just the beginning of Jian Chen's vast plan to provoke war in a special way.

The war that relied on the monarch's ambition to compete for hegemony was too accidental, and the interests of the entire ethnic group could not be guaranteed, so it was a little less fanatical and a little less naked in the pursuit of interests.

There aren't many people who play wool, but there will be more of them eventually. The wool that pops up can be felt-rolled, and eventually it can be spun into woolen yarn.

The plan to improve the spinning wheel is next year, because now the iron-smelting workshop is not ready, without the iron-smelting workshop there is no way to produce shears, without the shearing can not shear the sheep can only be scalded with boiling water after death, and if the sheep cannot be sheared, there will not be enough wool for the wool textile industry.

In the same way, there are not enough shears for the rest of the towns to raise sheep in large quantities for wool, and there is not enough spending power to buy sweaters and shoddy wool.

At this time, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there will inevitably be no sheep eating people, but a variant version will still appear.

The recent demand for wool will increase the price of wool exchange, which will drive a large number of wool-shearing slaves to appear in the remaining cities, and this will inevitably lead to a decrease in the number of cultivated slaves on the same land, and the decrease in cultivating slaves will drive the rest of the cities to buy iron farm tools in Yucheng, and the smelting workshops are profitable, and all the people of the country, as the legal owners of the smelting workshops, must want to expand the scale, and if they want to expand the scale, they will need more cheap labor, and war plunder is the best way.

After the implementation of iron farming tools and oxen in the rest of the cities, the level of agricultural production increased, and the large-scale use of slaves was no longer necessary, and they had to face the resistance of slaves.

Faced with this situation, Xia City, far to the northwest, already has a new thing called Linong, which will tell the rest of the cities a new way of rent exploitation, and there is no need for those slave owners to struggle to find answers.

At least in Echeng, near Xiacheng, Chen Jian had already planted a fuse, and the slaves he had taught him the art of scientific rebellion were dormant waiting for the right time.

Echeng is too close to Xiacheng, and the simple industrial products of various workshops in Xiacheng will be the first to hit Echeng, and the influence of wool trade will also affect Echeng first. In order to obtain more workshop products to satisfy their own desires, slave owners had to oppress their slaves more or improve their production tools.

Once the water building near the water in Echeng has completed the progress of ridge farming and cattle ploughing technology has a material basis, under the double pressure of external market shocks and slave owners, once Xia Cheng suddenly lowers the purchase price of wool, the first to be affected must be the lowest slaves who rely on slave owners to give alms to survive.

Their situation will be even more miserable, a large-scale slave revolt is close at hand, which is enough to shake the large-scale slave use system in the cities near Caohe, and then radiate outward from the summer city of Yucheng to gradually evolve into land rent exploitation.

After the reform, in addition to purchasing various consumables, a large amount of property exploited by land rent will be affected by the model workshop system of Yucheng, and will be invested in some simple workshops, or more land will be reclaimed in the model of manor landlords.

Wool is just one of them, and the rest of the workshops in Yucheng will play a similar role, working with each other.

Chen Jian's aim was never to build a ridiculous utopia in this era, Yucheng was not a paradise, it was a large group of workshops with a state monopoly on imperialism, but nothing more than an interest group based on the hidden exploitation of the rest of the city under the skin of national welfare.

Once the workshop workers had completed their transformation from slave hired laborers to nationals, they were no longer proletarian workshop workers, butts decided their heads, and what they needed was war, expansion, cheap labour, and vast fiefdom markets, or classical colonies.

As for what Jian Chen really wants, it is very far away, at this time, it is just to leave the seeds for future generations to blossom, what he wants does not need to be a saint, it just needs everyone to know how to fight for their own interests.

Whether anyone believes or not, never affects its fulfillment, that's not religion.

More than ten years later, what he wants is not and cannot be 20,000 clansmen who have the dream of liberating the whole family, he has never instilled these things, from beginning to end, not a word.

He is only instilling interests and how to maximize the benefits and defend his own interests, including instigating those workshop workers to strike and rebel, and just letting them know how to fight for their own interests, and helping Chen Jian put pressure on the old Chinese people to accept the new Chinese people's share of the pie.

More than ten years later, he had 20,000 to 30,000 deformed new aristocrats who were literate, could arithmetic, knew workshop techniques, and knew how to fight for their own interests—deformed aristocrats who were not distinguished by blood, but by property, technology, and knowledge, and had the prototype of workshop owners and manor owners who were supported by the Xiacheng workshop system and had been based on the vast wealth of Xiacheng that had exploited the rest of the cities for more than ten years. and a few hundred old aristocrats of blood who received an education and way of thinking in Yucheng.

Based on the various workshops in Yucheng, more than 20,000 skilled workshop workers scattered to the workshops and hired farms established in various cities, disseminated technology, completed the most basic agricultural revolution of cattle ploughing and ridge farming, guaranteed land production, and formed a new interest group with the help of the capital of the blood aristocracy.

Under the condition of population scarcity, technological innovation will inevitably be promoted to ensure sufficient benefits, and the school of Yucheng template will become a habit to continue, and some of the struggles and different attempts of Yucheng in Xia Cheng will also be written into history, waiting for those who need to look at it.

This interest group needs a lot of labor, a lot of raw materials, a broader market, and a larger population to ensure that the things produced by the workshop can be sold, and more gold, silver and copper are needed to support the circulation of future coinage, and a more stable internal environment and transportation construction are needed.

This interest group in the rest of the cities outside Xia Cheng is fragile compared to the old ones, they will inevitably rally around Xia Cheng, forget the concept of clan groups, use Xia Cheng's financial and military power to complete the internal power seizure, in order to seize power, they will learn from Yucheng to give those slaves the status of subordinate peasants and hired laborers, in order to strengthen their own power, to gain enough support, and for perhaps more cheap labor.

Everything this interest group wanted could be obtained in the land on all sides, and the war at that time was no longer a simple ancestral guidance, ethnic hegemony, and the ambition of the chief, but the interests of the entire young nobles tied to this system, which was more fanatical and direct.

There is no longer even a need for a set of oaths to justify or even create celestial phenomena of phoenixes and dragons to fool the people, just to tell them that there is everything they want.

The leader has the ambition to recreate the glory of the Quartet to fight in the past; If you don't, you have to fight, and if you don't fight, you will get out of power and let those who are willing to fight and win be the leaders.

If you want to fight, it's not for the sake of your ancestors, but for the sake of the ethnic group, everyone can be like a chicken. In fact, there are not many people who believe, and even if you have a hard erection, it cannot last. (To be continued.) )
