The spinning machine is Chen Guang's means of counterattack. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Guang held the spinning machine and said in the live broadcast room: "From today onwards, this thing will be renamed, not called Jenny Spinning Machine, but Chen Guang Spinning Machine." ”

"It's a terrible name."

"Yes. Not as good as Jenny. ”

Chen Guang said bitterly: "Do you know that you are admiring foreign people? Oh, I'm sad. ”

"But it's really Jenny, it's better, or you can get another name." Netizens expressed their grievances.

Chen Guang was really defeated, and said, "You can discuss this name for me, and we will use it as a trademark." Later, I'm going to try to see if this machine can be used now. Xiao Rong ......"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Yang Rong soon came over and was very surprised to see that the house was full of wood chips. Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Jin was stimulated by something and switched to carpentry?

Chen Guangdao: "Who spins the best yarn in our house?" ”

Yang Rong thought for a while and said, "It may be Cui'er." ”

"Then you call Cui'er for me."

Soon, Cui'er was brought over. Chen Guang looked at the fat woman in her fifties and said, "Are you Cui'er?" ”

The fat woman said: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Although the name should be a young girl, after seeing the real person, Chen Guang found that he had been deceived by the TV series again, but it didn't matter, he pointed to the ugly guy behind him and asked, "You can spin, come and try this." ”

Cui'er looked at the machine, a puzzled expression on her face. The spinning machine she used before was a hexagonal wheel, but this one was completely different from the other. Chen Guang then explained to her the use of the spinning machine, and Cui'er went to get the materials and began spinning according to Chen Guang's method.

Seeing that the cotton thread was pulled out of the small hole in the exit, and there were four at once, Cui'er was very excited, and said: "This machine is really amazing, it can produce four threads at a time, which is equivalent to four people to do it." ”

It's done! Although the shape is a little ugly, the effect is still good. Chen Guang thought that he still seemed to have a talent for carpentry.

"Well, this is my latest improved spinning machine, let you try the effect, it seems to be pretty good now, you go down." Chen Guang waved his hand.

It's good, the machine is fully operational.

Yang Rong looked at this ugly wooden shelf in surprise and said, "This is a spinning machine?" ”

In fact, Chen Guang made a simplest version of the spinning machine, which seemed to change the shape of the spindle and then changed from horizontal to vertical, which was very simple. If it is a more complicated eight-thread machine, it will be much more than this, and it is completely impossible to make it with Chen Guang's carpentry level.

"Yes, how about it, not bad, this king is out of the horse, a top two. Oh no, it's a top four, just ask if you accept it. Chen Guang was very proud.

Yang Rong patted his ass and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is really a wonderful idea, to be able to make such a magical machine, it is simply Lu Ban alive." ”

"Okay, okay, such an ugly thing. Go to the palace and get me two carpenters and ask them to make a new one. Although the function is available, this shape is really not flattering, and even Chen Guang himself can't stand it.

Soon, two carpenters came to the palace, and according to the current version, the status of these two carpenters is equivalent to the level of the inheritors of the skills who receive state allowances.

Chen Guang directly took out the blueprint of the spinning machine that could spin eight cotton threads at one time, and asked the two craftsmen to make one out of top-quality rosewood.

"Extravagant, too extravagant." Huanghuali's spinning machine, and it is also eight-line, larger than the average table, and the materials used are naturally a lot, when the finished product appeared in front of the audience in the live broadcast room, everyone shouted one after another.

Chen Guang was almost drooling when he faced this machine, he never thought that a machine could be made into a work of art. The polished brackets, the regular wooden buckles, the whole machine is all buckled up by mortise and tenon, and there are no nails or adhesives or anything like that, which truly explains what it means to be "tightly fitted".

"There's no way, the privileged class is **, and they don't accept it." Chen Guang was stunned in the live broadcast room.

Let's not say how precious Huanghuali is, although it is not as good as any small-leaved red sandalwood, but this is from Hainan Huanghuali wood, which is also a very luxurious thing. Why did Chen Guang use such a good material to create such a treasure, it was naturally "ulterior motives".

Not to mention that Chen Guang is tinkering with this "unprofessional" thing in his house, the open space in the west of the city is now very lively, and almost all the refugees in the city have gathered there, but fortunately, the place is big enough so that it will not look crowded. Looking at the scale, dozens of stoves are much more generous than Chen Guang's previous pattern, hundreds of people are constantly boiling thick millet porridge, the rice fragrance is overflowing, and people feel that it is a pleasure to smell it. Bags of rice are poured into the pot as if they don't need money - but they don't really need money, these are "donated" by those rice banks.

As long as you can leave your name with the prince, even if you donate more food, you will be willing, and you can earn it after losing some money, but if you don't seize this opportunity, you don't know how long you will have to wait. You must know that as long as you donate more than 100 stones, you can get the opportunity to participate in the East Palace banquet in Xiao Nian! The more you donate, the closer the location will be to the dignitaries, this is the original words released by the East Palace!

If you have a relationship with any official at that time......

If you think about it this way, even if you donate 1,000 koku of polished rice, you won't frown.

In the palace, an eight-lift sedan chair quietly went out of the city through the side door, and sixty-four elite guards in plain clothes protected the sedan chair. On the side of the sedan chair, Chen Yong, who was in casual clothes, rode on a tall horse, full of ambition, quite a bit of "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day".

The only person in the palanquin who can let the prince ride a horse to accompany him is the current emperor Chen Ang, and today he is at the strong request of the prince to go out of the palace to inspect the soup kitchen.

"Father, all the rice shops in the capital have heard about the good deeds of disaster relief, and they have spontaneously joined in, and now we have a sufficient supply of food to ensure that we can survive this winter safely." When it was about to be the soup kitchen, Chen Yong reported to Chen Ang.

When Chen Ang heard this, he was very relieved and said, "You have done a good job, and you have really saved me a lot of work." ”

A few days ago, when Chen Guang was giving porridge with great fanfare, Chen Yong was still wandering around, which caused Chen Ang's dissatisfaction. But just when Chen Ang was about to warn and warn the prince, Chen Yong used this trick, and Chen Ang realized that he almost blamed the prince, it turned out that the prince was just preparing for the past few days. In this way, he couldn't help but think highly of the prince.

Chen Yong was very proud, but he tried to restrain himself as much as possible, and said modestly: "It is the duty of the sons and daughters to share the worries of their father. ”

"How's that Project Hope?" Chen Ang asked again, it was a good thing to build a house for refugees, but it was a pity that the house was burned down by fire just after it was built.

Chen Yong showed a regretful expression on his face, and said: "Second brother must be sad now, but the place is already being rebuilt, and I believe it will be built again soon, I hope there will be no more fires this time." ”

"Hopefully, it's good to have a place for these refugees to live. Guang'er is going to get married tomorrow, you are an elder brother, you have to help a little. Chen Ang said.

It's okay not to mention this, as soon as he talked about this, Chen Yong felt a fire in his belly, fortunately, the city was deep enough and well hidden, and he was not noticed by Chen Ang, he laughed dryly and said: "Eh, haha, yes, congratulations to him, he has grown up, it's time to start a family." ”

Soon, they came to the outside of the city, and in a secret place, Chen Ang got out of the sedan chair and "went to the crowd".

"Fellow, what do you think of this porridge?"

"Hey, you're new here, this porridge doesn't taste too much, and you can eat it to your heart's content."

"Fellow, is this porridge enough to eat?"

"Enough is enough, I eat ten bowls a day, hehe."

“……”

Chen Ang is doing "random interviews" here, while Chen Guang is doing another big thing at home - preparing a plan for a weaving factory.

The biggest inducement of the Industrial Revolution was the large-scale and collectivized operation, which is a typical difference from the era of small-scale peasant economy, which distinguishes modern society from ancient society.

What Chen Guang wants to do is to take the machine in his hand as an opportunity to achieve a large-scale cotton textile industry, clothing, food, housing and transportation, clothing is in the first place, only when the clothes are warm, can he have the strength to do other things. Look at these refugees, they still freeze to death every day, if there were enough clothes to wear, there would not be such a tragic thing.

Writing with a brush is really tiring, but it is very patient exercise, so practicing calligraphy can definitely make people's temper very good. After only a short period of writing, Chen Guang felt sore, which can explain why the ancient people's articles were relatively short and concise - if you want to write a work report of tens of thousands of words like now, you must not die of exhaustion.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Yang Rong's voice sounded outside.

"Come in."

Yang Rong came in, holding a menu-like thing in his hand, he put the thing on the table, and said, "This is sent from the palace, and the process of getting married tomorrow." ”

Chen Guang nodded slightly and said, "Got it." ”

"The emperor went to the place where the prince gave porridge today." Yang Rong continued.

Chen Guang raised his head suddenly: "Oh? ”

According to reason, he is going to get married tomorrow, and he should be in the palace at this time, how can he go to the west of the city?

"What is Father doing there?"

Yang Rong said: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited the emperor to go to the place where the soup kitchen was given." ”

"Hold the grass." Chen Guang suddenly felt that he seemed to be a beat slower again, this Chen Yong's ability to invite merit is even stronger than that of talents in the 21st century, and he has just learned to invite the leader to see it.

Well, I'm convinced.
