By the time Zhou Zhiruo reacted, Lu Chengqi had been watching silently behind his back for a long time. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info noticed that he was embarrassed, Zhou Zhiruo's pink face was hot, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty, you came out quietly, you want to see the concubine's jokes, right?" ”

Lu Chengqi pretended to be innocent and said: "Zitong, you have wronged me." The Queen Mother is already resting, I can't make a loud noise, right? However, Zitong's serious appearance is really good-looking, hahaha......" After that, Lu Chengqi laughed heartlessly.

Laughter can be infectious, and the palace maids around can't help but laugh when they hear the words, covering their mouths and stealing fun. Everyone was happy, but Zhou Zhiruo was not happy, and turned the crank handle angrily, and the wheel turned drippingly, messing up the silk threads.

Seeing such a scene, knowing that the joke was a bit too much, Lu Chengqi hurriedly said: "Zitong, don't be angry, I'm just joking." Who is born with this spinning thing? It's already very good that Zitong can do this. If you don't believe it, I'll just ask these palace people. ”

After attracting Zhou Zhiruo's attention, Lu Chengqi hurriedly said to the nearest palace person: "Let me ask you, how long did it take you to learn this?" Don't lie, that's a crime of deception! Lu Chengqi's half-serious and half-threatening tone really scared the palace maid.

Without thinking about it, the palace maid blurted out: "Back to Your Majesty, the maid learns to spin, but he has become familiar ......with it in half a day."

Lu Chengqi was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "My God, don't bring such a non-common sense to play cards!" I told you to tell the truth, I said it to Zhiruo, how did you really tell the truth? ”

It's okay now, self-defeating, Zhou Zhiruo don't go over the head again. Lu Chengqi, who was in a predicament, went to the doctor for illness, glared at the palace maid fiercely, and frightened the little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old to take a few steps back, and her head was almost hanging to the ground. A pair of round eyes were filled with tears, and I didn't know what I said wrong, I was so wronged that I was about to cry, and I held back the tears so that they didn't fall.

Lu Chengqi asked another palace maid to answer, this time he learned to be obedient and chose an older palace maid, presumably she wouldn't be like the little girl before, talking nonsense and telling the truth, right?

Sure enough, with the lessons of the past, the palace maid said cautiously: "The maid is relatively stupid, and it will take three days to learn." The queen is much smarter than the maid, and in the past half a day, she has caught up with the maid's hard work for a day......"

Lu Chengqi was satisfied when he heard the palace maid's answer, nodded and said, "Zitong, I heard it, this is not what I said. If you are a palace person, you should always believe it, in fact, you can do this, it's already very good. ”

Zhou Zhiruo was noncommittal, and silently wound the silk thread that had been messed up before, but did not say a word. Lu Chengqi knew that this time, Zhou Zhiruo, who had always known the general situation, was really angry. Losing her face in front of so many people, although it was an unintentional mistake, affected the majesty of the lord of her harem. Lu Chengqi realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly waved the palace maid, the chamberlain, and the imperial guard out of the Gyeongbok Palace, walked to the wheel axle, and vigorously stirred the crank on the wheel shaft, which was very flattering.

This big spinning wheel is different from a hand-cranked spinning wheel or a pedal spinning wheel, and it can be completed by one person. It's very large and usually requires two people to work together to complete it. The work efficiency is nearly five times faster than that of the previous hand spinning wheels or pedal spinning wheels. Because the hand-spinning wheel, which is completed by one person, can only spin one silk spindle at a time, and this big spinning wheel can spin five silk spindles at a time!

If you are skilled, you can spin as much as 20 catties of silk every day, while ordinary spinning wheels can only spin about 3 catties to 5 catties a day. You can see at a glance which is better and which is inferior.

Of course, if someone invents a water-powered spinning wheel, he can spin more than 30 silk spindles or hemp spindles at one time, which is much more powerful than the pedal three-spindle spinning wheel invented by Huang Daopo. It's a pity that according to the proper history, this kind of hydraulic spinning wheel did not appear until the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty was able to resist the attacks of the Jin State and the Mongolian State for nearly two hundred years in a corner of the land, and it still has its uniqueness. The benefits of the appliance are the best in the world. However, he was congenitally incomplete, and was conquered by the Mongols.

However, Lu Chengqi has no feeling for this kind of "backward" textile car. He just wanted Zhou Zhiruo to stop being angry now, and said in a low voice: "Zitong, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't make a joke about you in front of so many palace people." I ......"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo sighed leisurely and said, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, even if you make a mistake, you can't blame yourself like this." The majesty of heaven cannot fall in the hands of His Majesty. The concubine just felt that she was blocked for a while, and there was nothing. ”

In fact, Zhou Zhiruo was still very moved in her heart, Lu Chengqi was willing to put down the emperor's shelf and apologize to her, indicating that she really had her in her heart. With such a low profile, it is difficult for Lu Chengqi, who wants to become the first emperor of the ages. Of course, this is just Zhou Zhiruo's own thoughts.

As Lu Chengqi, who was deeply influenced by later generations, he didn't feel that it was a big deal for his wife to admit his mistakes. Sometimes when husband and wife get along, it is inevitable that there will be times of quarrels. At this time, there must be a person who puts down his body first, so that the relationship between the two can be reconciled as before. Otherwise, the accumulation of small things, no matter how deep the love is, there will be cracks. As a man, you have to be able to afford it, let it go, and apologize to your wife. Prove that you really love your wife, so you care about her so much!

Seeing that Zhou Zhi was willing to forgive herself, Lu Chengqi also talked more. The topic is naturally this spinning wheel, Lu Chengqi only then noticed its "advancedness", and it can spin five spindles at one time, which is much better than any pedal three-spindle spinning wheel in the textbook!

It's a pity that such a large spinning wheel is not something that ordinary people can afford. Lu Chengqi doesn't need to ask the price, and he knows that such an "artifact" must be at least more than a thousand times. Aside from a few big-handed workshops, who can afford it?

Moreover, this big spinning wheel requires two people to work together to spin silk or hemp quickly, and in ordinary peasant households, women have a lot to do, who can get together every day to weave?

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for history to choose to let the pedal three-spindle spinning wheel replace the more advanced large spinning wheel. After all, most of the Central Plains are self-cultivated farmers and small-scale peasant economies, and textiles are just a sideline. For a side hustle, it seems unreasonable to hire a manpower. Even if the neighbors help, they can't help you every day! Considering this kind, the economical and practical one-person spinning wheel is superior to the inferior.

Unless there are large-scale textile mills, these cottage workshops can be dispersed. But at that time, how to dispose of the surplus labor force was another big problem. If it is not done well, social stability will be destroyed. The development of business also needs to move forward steadily, and it cannot be rushed.

Lu Chengqi was thinking about it, and he talked and laughed with Zhou Zhiruo, not feeling anything at all because of a man's spinning.

But I don't know when, from the inner hall of Gyeongbok Hall, a figure walked out, looked at the two of them quietly for a long time, and then sighed a few times and quietly walked away again...... (To be continued.) )
