Zhao Blacksmith is a little famous among the blacksmiths in Songjiang Mansion, and Zhao's blacksmith shop can also be traced back to the grandfather of Zhao Blacksmith's grandfather. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Today, a very special guest came to Zhao's blacksmith shop, and the other party asked to create something very strange in Zhao Zuolin's opinion.
Zhao Zuolin, who has been fighting iron all his life, has never seen these things, but fortunately, the other party knows these things well, not only brought drawings, but also instructed Zhao Zuolin how to build them.
This guest was naturally Zhang Feng, who first made a few parts of the "flying shuttle" in several other blacksmith shops, and now came to Zhao's blacksmith shop.
The parts that make up the "flying shuttle" were built separately by Zhang Feng, and finally assembled and tested by himself, according to the drawings, under the guidance of Zhang Feng, in the jingling sound, it went relatively smoothly.
In the creation of parts, Zhang Feng also had to admire Zhao Zuolin's craftsmanship, just built an important part that constitutes the "shuttle", the requirements are relatively high, but Zhao Zuolin created this part fully meets Zhang Feng's requirements.
Because there are no measuring tools such as calipers, it is not possible to check the quality of the parts for the time being, but Zhang Feng seems that the parts here are very well built and there must be no problems.
At this point, after almost a busy day, the parts of the "flying shuttle" were finally completed, only the springs were missing, and then, Zhang Feng asked Zhao Zuolin to build an iron ruler for himself.
The iron ruler is about 30 centimeters long, and a scale will be engraved on it, which will be an iron ruler made of millimeters, which is Zhang Feng's first measuring tool, which can be used to assemble the shuttle and build the "shuttle" in the future.
Zhang Zuolin, who is skilled, built such an iron ruler, naturally it is not a problem, as soon as Zhang Feng's request is raised, it will not take long for a freshly baked iron ruler to be laid.
Zhang Feng took the built iron ruler and looked at it, the iron ruler was straight, and the width and thickness also fully met his requirements, but the iron ruler was smooth and had no scale.
Zhang Feng is ready to engrave the scale by himself, and adopts the millimeter system, how many millimeters is an inch, Zhang Feng can calculate it.
Without vernier calipers, it is not bad to use a straight iron ruler with an accuracy of millimeters for the time being, at least it will not be blinded, and there is no need to rely on visual judgment of the size of the parts.
The straight iron ruler is made, and the parts of the "shuttle" are basically complete, only the springs are missing.
In Zhang Feng's view, Zhao Zuolin's craftsmanship has nothing to say, under his own guidance, he will definitely be able to manufacture springs, the key is whether there is spring steel.
Zhang Feng said: "Master Zhao, do you have any good steel here?" ”
Zhao Zuolin's answer reassured Zhang Feng, and Zhao Zuolin said proudly: "Zhang Gongzi, you have found the right person, we are a century-old shop, and my grandfather's grandfather opened a blacksmith shop here, and he is collecting a lot of fine steel." ”
And quite a few?
Zhang Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and said happily: "Master Zhao, take me to have a look." ”
Zhao Zuolin took Zhang Feng in and out of the backyard of the blacksmith shop, and in a room, there were a lot of good steel, that is, Zhao Zuolin's collection.
Who is Zhang Feng, his professional vision is very powerful, and he knows that these steels are good at a glance, although they cannot be compared with various modern alloy steels, but in the Ming Dynasty, they are definitely the best quality.
To make springs, spring steel is needed, and Zhang Feng selected a piece of steel that can make springs from this large pile of steel, and then took out the design drawings of the springs.
Zhao Zuolin didn't think about it, there is still this kind of thing called "spring" in the world, the ingenious design is simply superb, Zhao Zuolin couldn't help but look at Zhang Feng with admiration.
Some of the process methods in the process of making springs opened Zhao Zuolin's eyes, as if a new door was opened in front of Zhao Zuolin.
Zhao Zuolin really wanted to hold Zhang Feng and ask for advice, but after the spring was manufactured, Zhang Feng was in a hurry to leave and hurriedly went back to assemble the "flying shuttle".
Before leaving, Zhang Feng instructed: "Master Zhao, I hope you will keep these things I built here today." ”
Zhao Zuolin hurriedly said: "Certainly, definitely." ”
In his heart, Zhao Zuolin also hoped that Zhang Feng would come over again, and he could ask Zhang Feng some things at that time.

Zhangjia Weaving Workshop.
Yang Shenghai was very strange, what was his eldest young master doing, and when he passed by that room many times, he couldn't help but look at the closed door.
According to Zhang Feng's request, Yang Shenghai cleaned up a spacious room and brought a loom, some tools that Zhang Feng needed, such as saws, hammers, chisels, etc., Yang Shenghai also found them for Zhang Feng one by one.
in the room.
Zhang Feng has been busy for more than an hour, at this time, the work is nearing completion, the shuttle has been assembled, and the loom has also undergone a small transformation, and it can already carry out weaving operations.
Zhang Feng was slightly excited, and tried it himself.
"Oh also!"
Zhang Feng shouted happily and jumped up, Zhang Feng tried to weave a few times by himself, it was very smooth, and it was done!
No wonder Zhang Feng is happy, this is an epoch-making initiative, "flying shuttle" appeared more than 100 years in advance, appeared in the Ming Dynasty, appeared in the Zhangjia weaving workshop.
"Haha......"
Zhang Feng laughed happily, swept away the previous worries and nervousness, with this thing, no longer have to worry about repaying the money, I believe that soon the wealth will roll in, not only to create a lot of wealth for themselves, at the same time, the creation of textile factories has become possible.
Zhang Feng has already thought about it, since he has come to this era, he will make a big career, and the starting point of this great cause is industry, and the starting point of industry is the textile industry, first establish a large textile factory, earn his first pot of gold.
Yang Shenghai happened to pass by the door of Zhang Feng's room, and when he heard the shouting in the room, Yang Shenghai was shocked, and immediately pushed the door in, and asked puzzledly: "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
When Zhang Feng saw Yang Shenghai, he couldn't help but suddenly feel a little out of shape just now. Zhang Feng hurriedly said: "Steward Yang, I'm fine, I was so happy just now, I couldn't control it for a while." ”
Yang Shenghai said: "Big young master, what's the big joy?" ”
Zhang Feng said: "Steward Yang, come and take a look to see what is different about this loom." ”
Yang Shenghai knew that Zhang Feng had been tinkering with this loom, and when he looked at it carefully, this loom was really a little different from other looms, and it seemed that there were some more things, but Yang Shenghai couldn't understand this extra thing for the time being.
Zhang Feng said: "Steward Yang, go outside and call someone in to try our new loom." ”
Yang Shenghai was very curious about what was different about this loom after such a change, and when he heard this, he immediately went outside and called a weaver to come over.
Li Juxiang is a skilled weaver, and in front of Zhang Feng, she seems a little restrained, and she doesn't know what her owner is looking for.
Yang Shenghai said: "Young Master, this is Li Juxiang, the fastest person in our weaving workshop, see if it is suitable." ”
Yang Shenghai is also a person who can do things, Zhang Feng just said to find a weaver to come over, and Yang Shenghai immediately found the best weaver.
Zhang Feng glanced at Yang Shenghai with satisfaction, and then said: "Li Juxiang, this is my improved loom, I'll teach you how to use it first, and then you can give it a try." ”
Li Juxiang is a skilled weaver, after the loom added the "flying shuttle", it is still much the same, Zhang Feng said a little how to use, Li Juxiang immediately understood how to operate this new loom.
Li Juxiang's restraint gradually receded, on the contrary, curiosity came up, and he looked curiously that according to Zhang Feng's statement, after adding this thing called "flying shuttle", one person could operate the loom, but before, it took two people to operate a loom.
Sitting in front of the loom, Li Juxiang looked serious, and Yang Shenghai next to him was also curious, thinking in his heart, is this what the eldest young master said Yes, the method that can improve the efficiency of weaving.
Li Juxiang began to weave cloth according to the operation method Zhang Feng said, at the beginning, he was a little unskilled, but after all, the foundation and experience were there, after trying, the action quickly became proficient, and the weaving speed became faster and faster.
So fast!
Seeing this scene, Yang Shenghai's mouth was wide open, and he could almost stuff an egg, as if he had been hit by someone.
The room was very quiet, only the sound of weaving, and Li Juxiang seemed to have entered a state, completely immersed in this state of high-speed weaving.
Zhang Feng was determined in his heart, and finally the real success was completed, and the "flying shuttle" was very successful, reflecting the extremely high weaving efficiency.
After a long time, Yang Shenghai reacted and said excitedly: "Young Master, it's unbelievable, this is simply ingenious!" ”
"Shuttle" shuttles back and forth, the cloth is formed little by little, Zhang Feng nods, the ingenuity of the design of "Shuttle", according to the level of craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, can be described as ingenious.
Zhang Feng said: "Steward Yang, take a look, what is the quality of the cloth we weave?" ”
After Steward Yang looked at it carefully, he said excitedly: "Young Master, the cloth woven here is very strong, tight, symmetrical, and smooth, which is more than a grade better than before." ”
Zhang Feng nodded, and then said: "Steward Yang, if all the looms in our weaving workshop are improved and all the 'flying shuttles' are installed, what do you think?" ”
All of them are equipped with "shuttles" and all of them are improved!
Suddenly, Yang Shenghai was so excited that his face flushed a little, "Young Master, if this is the case, we will have a lot of money." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Steward Yang, I will explain you a few things, and you will do it immediately." ”
"Young Master, just give your orders!"
At this moment, Yang Shenghai admired his eldest young master so much, no matter what Zhang Feng told Yang Shenghai to do, Yang Shenghai would go back to do it immediately.
Zhang Feng explained a few things to Yang Shenghai, the first thing was to immediately build the parts of the shuttle. The parts of the shuttle are still made separately, but they are still the same blacksmiths that have made the parts of the shuttle.
The second thing is to immediately contact the bosses of the major cloth villages in Songjiang Mansion and tell the other party that Zhang Feng will have dinner at the "Kelaixiang" restaurant at noon tomorrow.
Kelaixiang Restaurant is the largest and most famous restaurant in Songjiang Mansion, Yang Shenghai doesn't know why his eldest young master wants to invite those cloth village bosses to dinner for no reason, but even if it is not clear, Yang Shenghai is still ready to send invitations one by one, and invite all these big and small bosses over.
