Although there are many elbows in industrialization, it is not impossible to develop at all, such as Chen Jun's proposal to Wang Haoran to make water-powered looms, if this equipment is produced, it will definitely liberate a lot of labor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Haoran hadn't thought about making this thing before, he was busy with this and that all day long, how could he have time to think about this. When Chen Jun mentioned this, Wang Haoran didn't think too much about it, and agreed to it.
"So when are we going to start?" Chen Jun asked excitedly.
"Now." The current equipment is enough for the current production, and if you want to continue to improve, you can only study the use of electricity first. Although electricity is easy to manufacture, it is not easy to control the voltage and current well. And in terms of safety, there is no rubber at this time, and there is nothing to replace, which is also a troublesome problem. Therefore, there is no need to rush the improvement of the equipment now, and when you have time in the future, you can study low-voltage electricity with Chen Jun and them first.
"Hey...... With the three of us, it was no problem to make a brand new water-powered weaving machine. Chen Jie said eagerly. The three of them have worked together for a long time, and they are all much more casual.
"No, let's go buy a loom first and study how to convert it into a hydrodynamic loom."
Why is that? We can obviously make a different weaving machine than the previous one, and the weaving speed can definitely be much faster than the modified one. Chen Jie was puzzled.
"Yes! No matter how well it is modified, sooner or later it will be replaced by a new textile machine, so why do we have to do this useless work? Although Chen Jun has been with Wang Haoran for a long time, he still can't guess Wang Haoran's thoughts.
"For us, of course, it's a little bit more expensive to make a new water-powered loom, and for those weaving mills, it's just a matter of getting a new loom. But don't forget, there are also many poor families who make money by buying a textile machine at home. If we make a new water-powered weaving machine, the price of fabric will definitely drop by more than half when it comes to the market in the future, and it is these families who will be hit hardest. They can't afford to buy a water-powered loom, and the cloth they weave with primitive methods doesn't sell for much money, what do you think they should do? ”
Chen Jun and Chen Jie fell into deep thought, they didn't expect that making a convenient new thing would have a downside. After they sorted out their thoughts, they found that this disadvantage was not something that ordinary people were worried about, but how could Wang Haoran, a kid, think so thoroughly? Say he's a bodhisattva, right? It's not like he dares to sell wine for a few pennies!
"But if we first study the modification method, others will not have to spend too much money to modify their own textile machine. After they make some money from this modified textile machine, we will launch a new textile machine, so that although the impact on those retail investors is still not small, but it is not unbearable, they want to buy a new textile machine, change careers to do something else, have money in their pockets, will not find a way out. ”
Chen Jun and the others are also kind-hearted people, and since they have figured out the stakes, they naturally agreed with Wang Haoran's proposal.
The three of them rarely had time, so they went to the West Market to buy a textile machine together, and went shopping to relax. I found a store that sold textile machines, but there was no stock, so I could only order it, and it took three days. There is no way, although he can make it, but what he makes may not be the same as the common textile machine, Wang Haoran had to pay a deposit, and found a restaurant to invite Chen Jun and them to have a good meal.
Not long after Wang Haoran finished ordering, the shopkeeper of the restaurant came over and said, "May I ask if this little brother is Wang Haoran's itchy son?" ”
"Exactly." Wang Haoran wondered, I don't know why this shopkeeper came over in person.
"Sure enough!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant was a little excited, and his voice was much louder, "I have heard the name of Wang Gongzi for a long time, and today Wang Gongzi came to the small shop, which really made the small shop shine." ”
As the restaurant shopkeeper spoke, he felt to the shopkeeper again: "Ah Fu, give Wang Haoran and Wang Gongzi a signature dish of our store for free, Fu Lu Shuangquan." ”
“…… Then thank you to the shopkeeper. "It turns out that I used myself to advertise! That's shabby, isn't it? Is my worth so low? Just pass yourself away with a dish? Why don't you just get rid of the food money? Wang Haoran complained, but he had to accept the love of others.
"Then Prince Wang, please use it slowly, I won't bother more."
The three of them didn't eat for long, and a one-armed strong man led by a young man hurriedly walked in from outside the door with a limp, and when he arrived at Wang Haoran's table, he asked Wang Haoran: "May I ask the little brother, are you Wang Haoran?" ”
"Exactly." Wang Haoran wondered again, what happened today, one by two came over and asked if he was Wang Haoran.
"Engong, please accept my worship!" The one-armed man said happily, and was about to kneel on the ground as he spoke.
"What......" Wang Haoran was even more confused, which one is this? He stayed away from the strong man, and hurriedly asked Chen Jie to support others, he was most unaccustomed to the etiquette of kneeling to the living, even if he knelt to himself.
"This big brother, did you recognize the wrong person, I haven't done any good things recently, how can I be your benefactor?"
"Haha...... Eun Gong didn't know. The one-armed man laughed, "I wonder if Engong remembers that a few months ago he told the generals that he could scare horses into panic with strange screams?" ”
"I did. Could it be that this is a military ...... Is it a soldier? "It seems that this one-armed man really didn't find the wrong person, but can he save people with one sentence? That's too mysterious, Wang Haoran doesn't believe it.
"Yes, I was originally a cavalryman under General Luo, and I lost an arm on the battlefield some time ago, so I was sent back to recuperate." The one-armed man only lightly mentioned his injury.
"Oh! It turned out to be a warrior on the battlefield! Come on, come on, sit down and talk again. Wang Haoran shouted at the shopkeeper again, "Little Er, put on another jar of good wine." ”
At this time, there were already a lot of people around to watch the excitement, and the restaurant shopkeeper who had been paying attention to this side thought about it in his heart, and hurriedly whispered a few words to the shopkeeper.
"Here comes the wine!" The shopkeeper squeezed into the crowd, put the wine jar on the table and said to Wang Haoran, "Wang Gongzi, our shopkeeper said that the warriors are back, and we will be a good student in the welcome building." This is the best daughter red, so I will give it to you to taste slowly. ”
"Thank you for that." The one-armed man grinned.
Chen Jun poured a bowl of wine for the one-armed strong man, and the one-armed strong man was polite, took a sip before continuing to talk about the topic just now: "I'm ashamed to say it, at first we didn't believe what Engong said, and we didn't make fun of it in the army. Until last month, our Datang and the main Turkic force confronted each other, because we Datang had the help of an artifact and defeated the Turks. When the Turks fled, we discovered the whereabouts of that guy Jieli, and we sent someone to inform General Luo while chasing after him. I didn't want Jieli Xiao'er to be defeated and fled, and he had the heart to trap us, so he sent more than 100 cavalry to ambush us. Although we also had nearly a hundred cavalry, we were indeed not as strong as the Turkic cavalry, and they took the lead, and in one round of the battle, more than a dozen of our brothers were cut off. Speaking of this, the one-armed strong man was saddened, and took a big sip of the wine bowl.
"We knew that we could not defeat the enemy, but the way back was blocked again, so we had to retreat in other directions. It was expected that these Turkic cavalry would be worried that our Datang reinforcements would not dare to chase after them for a long time, but unfortunately, we didn't run long before we ran to the precipice. So we had to defend it on the spot, and as long as we could hold out until reinforcements arrived, these Turkic cavalry would naturally retreat. But we all thought wrongly, and we all underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Turkic cavalry. A few tentative attacks by the Turkic cavalry alone took the lives of dozens of our brothers, and of nearly a hundred brothers, only fifty or sixty remained, and the Turkic cavalry was only cut down a few people. Later, when the Turkic cavalry was assembled again, it seemed that a general attack was coming. But we are not greedy for life and afraid of death, we will die when we die, but we have to pull a few more Turkic miscellaneous hairs to bury when we die. When we were determined to die, we remembered Engong's method, and it didn't hurt to try it. So we plugged the ears of our horses, and as soon as the two sides clashed, we screamed at the top of our throats as we fought, and there were all kinds of strange sounds. Guess what happened? Ha ha...... Not only were the horses frightened, but even the Turkic cavalry was terrified. After a bad fight, we lost a few brothers, but the Turkic cavalry was cut down by us more than forty, and the other Turkic cavalry had no intention of fighting again, and they were all scared away! Haha......"
