Chapter 719: Improvements

@@@

Thirteen Niang put forward the idea of improving the cotton tieing machine, which made Yang Yi very emotional, and immediately decided to set up a special scientific research institution in the trading company, and gave them some ideas by themselves, so that this institution could be developed and developed, and with the financial resources of the trading company as the backing, sooner or later this institution could become the integration and production place of the world's most advanced technology.

Of course, these can be done slowly, but their own lady can't be lazy, she must praise and praise fiercely, which is the top priority of Yang Daguan.

"Lady, you are really Hui Zhilanxin, Bing Xue is smart, after your improvement, the efficiency of this cotton tie machine must have increased exponentially, Lady, your improvement will definitely benefit thousands of households, it is not too much to say that it is a Buddha of ten thousand lives;

Lady, you are so great, the greatest person in the world! There is a wife like this, what more can the husband ask for, it is really ................ hiss for the husband, lady, tap, tap, what the husband said is the truth, I don't believe you ask Qingniang, ask Bi'er, ask Xian'er, ask Adella, whoever you ask........."

Han Bier and the others were very cooperative, and they all lost no time in praising Thirteen, which made Thirteen Niang a little embarrassed;

She glanced at her own officials with a playful look, her jade fingers were easily opened, and then she changed the topic and said: "The official said that the concubine body has benefited thousands of families by improving it so much, but he didn't mention saving costs for the trading company, does the official think that such an improvement is not satisfactory?" ”

It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that Thirteen Niang Bingxue is smart, no, it was immediately confirmed;

Yang Yi really felt that the improvement of Thirteen Niang would definitely be of great benefit to a family, and it would be for the large-scale cotton factory of the trading company. Such improvements were not enough, but he certainly wouldn't say that. Otherwise, it would be insincere to praise his own lady.

He immediately clarified: "The lady misunderstood, the trading company is to make money. It can't be compared with the blessings of the people of the world, but it is completely negligible, so I didn't mention the benefits that the trading company has gained because of it. ”

"Really?" Thirteen Niang gently raised her sleeves, and a cold light flashed away, with her gentle and elegant smile, which made Yang Daguan's feet tremble.

"Lady, lady....... don't don't don't, what your husband says is the truth, it's all the truth.........." Yang Daguan is like a weak woman who is about to be violated by hooligans. Holding on to the vital points, he stepped back step by step with a timid face.

made Qingniang and them laugh and bent their waists, Zhenzi was the most exaggerated, laughing so much that tears came out, and the waves on her chest were thrilling.

Thirteen Niang was ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but smack him and said: "Officials don't make trouble, you look like this, you don't know and think that the concubine is a fierce woman." Hmph, you're going to be weird. ”

"No, no, no, the lady is the most virtuous lady in the world, and she is ......... for her husband"

"Hmph. You also say. Thirteen Niang was anxious, everyone looked at it, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet. She was dressed in a mink coat and wore eight Hunan skirts. is graceful and tingting, and her appearance is no worse than Adella, a beauty selected from a country. This delicate and disgusting daughter is really eye-catching.

Well, it is only effective to change the topic, after Thirteen Niang figured it out a little, she said with a straight face: "The official must have thought of something else, you say quickly, how to improve this cotton tie machine according to your meaning." ”

Between husband and wife, it is inevitable to make some small jokes, but it must be done in moderation, otherwise Thirteen Niang will really lose face in front of all the women.

Yang Yi also said solemnly: "Lady, your improvement plan has indeed given me some inspiration, this kind of foot-operated cotton tieing machine is very suitable for small families, but in the future, the trading company will build a large-scale cotton tie factory, and the more provincial it is in terms of labor, the better, the lady has ever seen a stone mill?" ”

"Ah, I see!" Speaking of these things, Thirteen Niang suddenly forgot that she was a housewife, and said in surprise, "The official is saying that the two round shafts are driven to rotate by animal power, well, this is not difficult to do, in this way, we can make these two round shafts several times bigger and several times longer, which can accommodate many people to stuff cotton into it at the same time, or can let two donkeys and horses drive multiple round shafts to rotate when they are brought together, so that the efficiency will be higher, official, you are too ........."

Yang Yi hurriedly skimmed out and said: "Lady, this is completely the inspiration you gave me, and like two donkeys rotating with multiple round shafts at the same time, I really didn't expect that this is all the whimsy of the lady, and I don't dare to take credit for my husband." ”

Thirteen Niang has been immersed in the imagination of improving the cotton tie machine, no matter what he says, Yang Yi reminded again: "Lady, after all, the health mouth still needs forage, is there any way to save costs?" ”

"What does the official mean .........." Thirteen Niang was a little puzzled.

Yang Daguan read leisurely and leisurely: "Because of the lotus, it is coupled." ”

"There are apricots but not plums." Qing Niang next to her listened carefully and blurted out, Thirteen Niang looked at her with a smile, and Qing Niang's face suddenly turned red.

This pair of couplets is the first time she came to Yang's house, when she saw the fountain of the Yang family, and Yang Yi paired, and now this pair is still engraved on the rockery of the fountain pool in the front yard, which is one of the best memories of Qing Niang.

And because this pair contains another meaning of "why do you get a match, you are fortunate to not need a matchmaker", how can she not be ashamed to say it in front of everyone.

For her, Yang Yi made no secret of his pampering, part of the reason for this was probably that she was young before, and she was used to being spoiled like a sister, he took Qing Niang's fragrant shoulder and smiled: "Qing Niang, don't be shy, we are fortunate not to need matchmakers, so what, they laugh if they love to laugh." ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he said this, Qing Niang was even more ashamed and didn't dare to raise her head, Thirteen Niang hugged her, patted her on her pretty buttocks and smiled: "Unconsciously, our Qing Niang has grown into a big girl, and my sister is old." ”

"Sister Qing'er is not old."

In the past, Qing Niang was still young, whether it was in Beijing or in Huanzhou, most of them were taken care of by Thirteen Niang, and even combing her hair and washing her face, Thirteen Niang would often help Qing Niang take care of it herself;

Qing Niang is picturesque, pleasing everywhere, Thirteen Niang and her relationship are similar to sisters, until now everyone has changed their name to Mrs. Thirteen Niang, only Qing Niang still calls her Sister Qing'er as always, and it is foreseeable that she will be called like this for the rest of her life.

Yang Yi said with relief: "The lady is indeed not old. For my husband I ........."

"Don't talk nonsense, hum........." Thirteen Niang glanced at him again. Only then did he continue, "The concubine understands. The official meant that the waterwheel could be used to rotate the round shaft of the cotton tie machine, so that even the donkeys and horses were saved, right? ”

Yang Yi laughed and said: "The lady is really smart and smart, and this spinning wheel, please take a look." ”

Yang Yi said and walked to the spinning wheel, in fact, the spinning wheel is not unique to the Li people, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains appeared spinning wheels, and the structure of the spinning wheel is also very simple. It is composed of three parts: twisting and winding, transmission and prime mover, the original motion mechanism is a large round wheel similar to the hand-spinning rope wheel, and the axle is equipped with a crank, which needs to be shaken by hand, and there is also a foot pedal type.

Yang Yi said: "Lady, this spinning wheel, like the cotton tie machine, works by rotation, so it can also be changed to animal power or water power, which is very important." If the lady has the heart, try to improve it, well, I decided. The improved spinning wheel is called Suqing spinning wheel. ”

Thirteen Niang grinned and said, "Official, you probably haven't seen the difference between this spinning wheel and our spinning wheel, right?" ”

"Uh......... Well, I'll take a look at this, official............. I'll take a look. ”

In fact, Yang Yi didn't know much about the spinning wheel that the Great Song Dynasty was currently working on. Naturally, I didn't see any difference between this spinning wheel from Hainan and other spinning wheels. He looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything.

Thirteen Niang stepped forward to explain to him: "Official, we used the spinning wheel before. Whether it's a hand-cranked spinning wheel or a pedal spinning wheel. You can only spin one yarn at a time, but this spinning wheel is different, it can spin three yarns at a time, which means that it is three times more efficient than the original spinning wheel we used. ”

In the era of mechanization in later generations, many people do not know what process to weave a piece of cloth to go through, to put it simply, after the cotton is dried, the cotton must be removed with a cotton tie machine, and then the cotton is fluffy with a cotton bow, and the cotton becomes fluffy, but it is still a disorderly staple fiber, which needs to be spun into a fine yarn with a spinning wheel, and can be put on the loom to weave into cloth after spinning into fine yarn.

And spinning this pattern is not easier than weaving, it has always been a key link restricting cloth production, the previous spinning wheel, can only spin one yarn at a time, now from Hainan to get back this pedal spinning wheel can spin three yarns at a time, which means that the spinning of this sequence can be three times faster. This is definitely an amazing invention.

As far as he knows, the Jenny spinning machine in the future Britain could spin eight threads at a time, so it is known as the symbol of the first industrial revolution.

It's a pity that Yang Yi has only heard of Jenny Loom and doesn't know its structure and working principle.

Now the Great Song Dynasty finally appeared a spinning wheel that can spin three threads at a time, which makes Yang Yi very excited, he believes that the wisdom of the Chinese is no worse than that of other people, as long as the people continue to research, today can invent a spinning wheel that spins three yarns at a time, and in the future will definitely be able to invent a spinning wheel that spins eight threads at a time, or even more threads.

He immediately asked, "Lady, don't fiddle with the clock, study the spinning wheel first, and see if you can invent a spinning wheel that can spin more yarn at a time." ”

Thirteen Niang grinned and said: "Official, even if people invent it, there is no benefit, don't fool the concubine with those words for the benefit of the common people in the world, this thing is useful for your trading company, it is not of much use to the people who are flexible, for ordinary people, spinning one thread at a time, or three threads is not very different, and they don't have so many threads to spin." ”

This enchantress! Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Lady, let's not talk about the world, let's just say that for our family, now we have sold 500,000 yuan of these three things, if the lady can study more spinning wheels at a time, let's sell it to the trading company and earn it million."

"Hehe, this is almost the same, if the concubine body is developed, you are not allowed to give it away for nothing, and the concubine body has no money to buy the pearl hairpin face."

Don't have the money to buy a hairpin head? Oh, my God! Yang Daguan was instantly scorched by thunder.
