Chapter 735: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
@@@
At the end of November, Qin Cao gave birth to a son. This can make the Yang family happy, and now there are finally three eldest grandsons and one eldest granddaughter in the family, and some people are showing signs of prosperity, of course, in Yang's opinion, this is far from enough.
The family was liking, Yang Yi remembered the newly promulgated policy of encouraging childbirth by the imperial court, and suddenly said: "San Lang is the fourth child of our family, tomorrow I will apply to the court for alimony, twenty buckets of rice per month, one piece of cloth per year, our San Lang is in good time." ”
As a result, as soon as he finished saying this, he was severely reprimanded by Yang, the reason was: Qin Cao worked hard to give birth to a son, and you are sorry for Qin Cao for saying this kind of thing.
When you think about it, it seems that it is indeed easy for people to have this misunderstanding, mistakenly thinking that he does not want to raise this son. No, even Qing Niang joined in the condemnation of him, and for a while, the Yang family had no place for him to stand.
Well, Yang Daguan felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to stand honestly and be trained, accept ideological transformation, and completely abandon this vulgar idea of digging into the foot of the social wall.
The newborn Yang Saburo also avoided the tragic fate of being included in the next household.
Yang Daguan came to Qin Cao's bed, ready to confess his guilt again, but Qin Cao's happy smile made him unable to say a joke.
"Jean, I'm sorry"
Qin Cao raised his hand, his five fingers lightly pressed on his lips, the smile on his face was as elegant as an orchid, although his face was still a little pale, but the happiness seemed to be about to overflow from her eyes.
Yang Yi held her hand, gently stroked the slender jade fingers and said, "Qin'er, you are full of poetry and books." Quick-witted, to express his apologies for being a husband. Saburo's name is up to you. ”
"It's my father's business to choose a name, and I am a slave to a woman's family. How can there be a slave to choose a name? "Qin Cao is a little excited, but he still sticks to his duty.
"That's right, it's the right to be a father, and now, I'll give you this power, so let's think about it, and then tell me quietly, and then I'll still name it on the surface."
Give your child a name. This is what every parent hopes for, and many people have already thought of many names before their children are born, and they compare them repeatedly in their hearts, and the piano exercise is probably the same. After listening to Yang Yi's words, she couldn't help but say: "Yang Lang, which word do you think is better between the words 'ink' and 'xuan'?" ”
This was obviously something she had already thought about, and blurted it out at this time. Qin Cao was immediately a little embarrassed, as if she had stolen Yang Yi's naming rights, because this was something she had thought of before Yang Yi's authorization.
"Yang Mo, Yang Xuan" Yang Yi tilted his head sideways and thought carefully for a while and said: "I think the word 'Xuan' is better for my husband, Xuan." It has the meaning of Xuanang, and at the same time it has the meaning of noble and gentle. Also in Buddhism. The Xuan is pure and unstained, and the aura is unique. Get rid of the root dust, and the body is really exposed. Regardless of the words, what does Qin'er say? ”
"Well, the slave also thinks that Xuanzi is better!" This time, Qin Cao's smile couldn't be stopped anymore, in fact, she originally liked Xuanzi, but she was worried that Yang Yi wouldn't like it, so she added an ink word for him to choose.
"Okay, since Qin'er thinks so too, let's use the word Xuan. I'm ashamed of my husband, look at the name I gave Erlang, it's far worse than Qin'er's when I hear it, Qin'er's talent is not as good as my husband! ”
"Yang Lang, don't say that, the slave can't afford it."
Yang Yi was waiting to reassure her for a few words, and Li Li'er's voice came from outside the door, didn't this girl say that she would leave the cabinet at the end of the year?
Li Li'er walked in with the maid ring who led the way, she combed her frightened bun, fox fur jacket, and pulled the pleated skirt on the ground, but it was also Tingting Yuli, and when she saw Yang Yi, she immediately smiled: "Congratulations to the fourth brother, congratulations to the fourth brother, little nephew, let me hug it." ”
Yang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "The time for this pavilion is almost up, and you are still running around, like talking?" ”
Li Li'erqiao's face suddenly turned red like a red cloth, but after a little aftertaste, she felt that Yang Yi's words were all in the tone of her brother, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart.
"Fourth brother, people are happy when they hear that they have another nephew!"
Yang Yi just said that, so he didn't bother to care where she ran, he left Li Li'er to talk to Qin Cao, and came out of the house by himself.
Li Li'er's future husband is Cao Bin's fifth grandson Cao Yi, in addition to Cao Bin's posthumous award of the prince for his military exploits, the Cao family also had a queen, that is, the Empress Cisheng Guangxian.
Although the Cao family is very prominent, the children of the family have always kept their duties, such as Cao Tong, the younger brother of Empress Ci Shengguangxian, and others, who had a good name during their lifetime and were praised by the government and the opposition.
Cao Yi is Cao Tong's grandson, and Li Li'er is a household in Yemen.
Li Li'er's father Li Leran has been re-activated by the imperial court, and now Renzhi County, Shicheng County, east of Youzhou, Li Leran turned out to be one of the victims of the old and new party disputes, after the imperial court recovered Yanyun and the Western Regions, a large number of officials were urgently needed to govern, and many officials like Li Leran were used during the period.
In fact, so far, Yang Yi has never seen Li Leran, and he doesn't want to see it. This time, Li Li'er went out of the cabinet, and I don't know if Li Leran will enter Beijing, but Yang Yi is resolutely not going to join in the excitement.
Yang Yi walked to the study, and saw Qing Niang coming happily, and suddenly pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Yang, go and take a look, Sister Qing'er's hydraulic spinning wheel has been developed, you go and take a look." ”
Qing Niang probably came at a trot, her face was flushed, and her graceful and clear posture became more and more exciting, Yang Yi grabbed his little waist and smiled: "Qing Niang, you don't go to the snow to find poetry, how can you get into trouble with your sister Qing'er?" ”
"Now there is no snow, besides, poetry is not something that can be found if you want to find it, people have been too lazy to go out these two days, and it is fun to watch Sister Qing'er develop a spinning wheel monster." Qing Niang raised her pretty face, with the bright color of March spring.
"Fun? Okay, let's go and see your sister Qing'er's masterpiece. Qing Niang, if you like it, I will ask your sister Qing'er to give you the naming rights, not Su Qing Spinning Wheel, let's call Qing Niang Spinning Wheel, okay? ”
"Don't want it, this is something that Sister Qing'er worked hard to develop for a long time, so naturally it is in Sister Qing'er's name."
Yang Yi and Qing Niang talked and laughed and came to the front yard.
The front yard of the Yang family brought in living water. When he bought the house, Yang Yi asked people to build a large waterwheel in the front yard. Now the power of the water-powered spinning wheel of Thirteen Niang comes from this big waterwheel.
When the two arrived, the front yard was already full of people. The maid at home, as well as several skilled craftsmen from the Yang family's newly created "Yang Academy of Sciences" in the Grange, Su Qing developed the waterwheel spinning wheel so quickly this time, and the assistance of these skilled craftsmen was indispensable.
Yang Yi's arrival, Thirteen Niang, who was dressed in men's clothes, suddenly showed a gentle smile, Yang Yi stepped forward and smiled: "The lady has worked hard, is it done?" ”
"Official, take a look!"
"Well, I'll take a look."
Yang Yi said and walked to the big spinning wheel, which was more than two zhang long and about five feet wide. The ground was built first, and the four corner pillars of the wooden frame were each five feet high. Wear the horizontal tree in the middle, and put the fir wood on the shelf. Its fangmu two ends of the mountain pass, lying on the roll, long column, iron shaft.
Next to the front of the ground, stand a long wooden seat, the seat is lined with mortars, in order to bear the bottom of the iron basket. It is made into a tube with a wooden wheel, one foot two inches long, and one foot two inches long in circumference. Thirty-two pieces in total. Yarn entanglement inside. The car is equipped with a cane-head iron ring to detain the axle of the car.
In front of the forehead, a small iron fork is placed in front of the spinning strip, and it is turned to the long-term station. There are still two wheels on the left and right, and the leather strings are connected. Get off the train and turn around to stop the drum.
The whole large spinning wheel is driven by the waterwheel to drive the bearing, and the rotational force is transmitted to the guide wheel on the left side of the spinning wheel frame. The rotation of the left guide wheel is connected with the right guide wheel through the leather string, and the left and right guide wheels form a circular motion that repeats itself.
The lower skin string is clawed directly on the spindle bar. The spindle rod is driven by friction, which drives the spindle to rotate. The epithelial string drives the drum on the iron shaft of the bobbin through friction, which in turn rotates the bobbin.
Rotation of the yarn frame. It relies on the action of a pair of wooden wheels, drums, and strings that intersect with each other. Therefore, the direction of rotation of the wooden wheel on the bobbin iron shaft of the bobbin is opposite to that of the wooden wheel pressed against the bearing under the epithelial chord.
Moreover, if this kind of water-powered spinning wheel is removed from the waterwheel that provides the original motive, the left wheel can be rotated by manpower or animal power, and the yarn can still be spinned.
In this way, it is not necessary to work in places with water power, which greatly facilitates the construction of factories in some places in the north that lack water sources.
This spinning wheel is complicated, the real thing Yang Yi saw is actually relatively simple, the biggest difference is its spindle, now the small spinning wheel used by the Great Song Dynasty only has one bloom, that is to say, it can only spin one yarn at a time, and the spinning wheel brought back from Hainan Island is only three spindles.
And there are as many as 32 spindles in this water-powered spinning wheel, which means that it can spin 32 threads at a time. Its spindles were not vertical, as in the spinning machines of later generations, but horizontal, evenly distributed on a long axis;
If the power provided by the waterwheel is strong enough, the axle can be lengthened, then it can hold more than thirty-two spindles, which can be multiplied.
As far as Yang Yi knows, the so-called Jenny spinning wheel could only spin eight threads at a time at the beginning, and it has been described as a symbol of the first industrial revolution.
So can the hydraulic spinning wheel developed by Su Qing, which can spin 32 yarns at a time, become a symbol of the first industrial revolution in the Great Song Dynasty?
Yang Yi believes that the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company is only under his control, and this goal will definitely be achieved.
After Yang Yi finished reading it, he asked Thirteen Niang: "Lady, have you roughly calculated it?" How much yarn can you spin in a day with this hydrospinning wheel? ”
Thirteen Niang said happily: "This has to wait a little longer, wait for the concubine to calculate." ”
"How?"
"The officials have calculated it, now they can spin four and a half catties of spinning in half an hour, and the officials can calculate how much they can spin in a day, hehe."
"About a hundred pounds." Yang Yi's math is okay.
"The ordinary spinning wheel can spin about three catties of yarn a day, and the officials are satisfied with the efficiency of one hundred catties a day?" Thirteen Niang has a bit of a taste of invitation.
Well, the Yang family is very poor, and Thirteen Niang has no money to buy pearl hairpins, and people are still counting on this improvement to make some private money.
But I heard Yang Yi say: "Of course I am not satisfied, I hope that one day, the lady can improve it to a hundred spindles, or even more." ”
