736:Jenny Loom!
There was one less Rong Jiu in Qin'an County, and everyone discussed it for a while, and the heat dissipated.
The most reluctant Rong Jiu is actually not the junior disciples of the county school, but the owner of the county restaurant.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the package sent to the capital by Cheng Qing was finally delivered, and after layers of inspection, the package was delivered to the palace.
Cheng Qing asked the weaving workshop to make a few pairs of gloves for Meng Huaijin, all of which were the kind that could hold the pen with his fingers exposed and not hinder his writing.
What was given to Meng Huaijin, of course, is not the kind of quality that the weaving workshop sold to Xiao Yunting, the raw material of the gloves is more soft and skin-friendly cashmere, cashmere is not difficult to find, how to separate cashmere and wool is more difficult, Cheng Qing remembered that there was a carding machine in later generations, which could mechanically separate cashmere from wool, and now she can't make such a machine out of thin air, so she can only rely on manual labor.
In addition to a few pairs of gloves and a few pairs of socks, there are two pairs of knee pads.
Cheng Qing wrote how to use it in the letter, and Meng Huaijin touched his knee pads and was silent.
People who practice martial arts are vigorous and are not afraid of cold, not because they can't feel cold.
But in the palace, the emperor's daily living place is burned with earth dragons, and anyone can freeze, but Meng Huaijin can't be frozen...... He is not afraid of the cold, he likes to be remembered, not because he is the emperor, but simply because he himself.
Even if he didn't become the emperor, Cheng Qing made something good, and he still wouldn't be left behind.
The inner supervisor next to him saw that he was in a good mood and joked: "Lord Cheng is thinking about Your Majesty." ”
Meng Huai asked people to put away the things sent by Cheng Qing, and carefully read the letter written by Cheng Qing again.
The conflict between the Northern Qi and the Great Wei could be resolved without war, turning the Northern Qi into a "dumping ground" for the Great Wei, and making the economy of the Northern Qi dependent on the Great Wei, and the Northern Qi could not start a war, and in turn worried about being assimilated and annexed by the Great Wei.
Of course, this takes time to lay out, and it needs the good development of Dawei itself, if Meng Huaijin reigns for a long time, and Cheng Qing himself is an official for a long time, both of them have the opportunity to see that day.
In order to achieve dumping, the price of the goods sold by the Great Wei to the Northern Qi should be low.
Let the Northern Qi people compare the things of the two countries and find that it is cheaper than the Great Wei, and they will choose the things of the Great Wei themselves.
Higher efficiency, better division of labor, lower costs.
Cheng Qing said that the weaving workshop in Qin'an County is an attempt, and now it is to give full play to the human instigation, and when the human power is developed to the extreme, there should be something that can replace the human power:
"Wind can drive kites, can break tree branches, sunlight can dry clothes, water can turn waterwheels and mills, coal can be lit to keep warm, fire oil is more powerful than coal, brother, there are many 'energy' that can replace manpower, we just lack the means."
Cheng Qing said in the letter that she was asking the weaving mill to study a textile machine that could spin multiple yarns at the same time, and said that this is actually not a very difficult technology, but people who have been in contact with looms before, no one will think about improving the technology all day long, lighting the lamp and boiling oil, the mother spun and let her daughter spin, the loom does not stop, but there is not enough yarn woven - this is the case with textiles, and the same is true for other industries, Dawei has many smart craftsmen, but the craftsmen lack initiative, because they make great achievements and are requisitioned, if they are lucky, they are rewarded with silver, and if they are lucky, they are rewarded, and if they are bad, Technological innovation has made people greedy, and craftsmen have lost their lives.
The imperial court does not protect or encourage it, and no one will innovate technology.
Meng Huaijin read it several times, but he hated that Cheng Qing's letter was too short and couldn't write more content.
He knew that since Cheng Qing said so, it was not only to improve the loom, but also to have other ideas, and if he didn't say it now, he felt that the current Great Wei could not implement it, and he would be more anxious to get angry when he saw it.
Now Meng Huaijin is already in a hurry.
Looking forward to the situation in the northwest stabilizing soon and transferring Cheng Qing back to Beijing as soon as possible, the two can discuss any ideas face-to-face, which is much faster than writing a letter.
……
The textile machine mentioned by Cheng Qing in his letter to Meng Huaijin is the famous "Jenny Textile Machine".
Cheng Qing couldn't help it.
She didn't expect this at first, He Wan took Xiao Yunting's order, and thought of a way to process it to make up for the lack of female workers in the weaving workshop. As long as sufficient raw materials can be provided, a large number of women from ordinary and poor families in Qin'an County are temporary hired workers in the weaving workshop.
Although the skills of the temporary hired workers are uneven, which makes He Wan lose a lot of heart when supervising, the biggest problem is not this group of temporary female workers, but the supply of raw materials.
Wool thread for crocheted socks and gloves is not available!
Whether it is cotton thread, twine or wool thread, the predecessor is "yarn", animal hair and plant fibers are processed, repeatedly twisted, spun into a very fine "yarn", and then by the yarn strands into a thread, the speed of spinning can not keep up, the faster the female workers crochet, the more tight the supply of wool thread.
This incident made He Wan anxious, Cheng Qing thought of the "Jenny Loom Machine", don't look at this small loom, it was written into the modern history books, regarded as the beginning of the first industrial revolution, the first generation of Jenny loom came out, immediately increased the efficiency of spinning cotton yarn by eight times...... This is exactly the artifact He Wan desperately needs.
Cheng Qing is now going to jump out and say that the earth is round, "the sky is round and the place is round" is wrong, and what "six yuan and first" is useless, others will think she is crazy!
But she is in a remote northwest county, attacking a small textile machine, who can care about her?
At most, others think that Cheng Qing is a little unprofessional.
Cheng Qing found a craftsman, found a loom, first dismantled a loom into pieces and then restored, and basically figured out the principle of the current loom.
Then improve with the craftsman, she is responsible for making the requirements, explaining the principle, and the craftsman is responsible for realizing her ideas.
Jenny loom is not complicated, in fact, it just turns one spindle into multiple spindles, and through the drive of the shaft and runner, it can spin multiple spindles at the same time.
When Cheng Qing wrote a letter to Meng Huaijin, she had just begun to study, and when Meng Huaijin received the letter, the first "Jenny Textile Machine", no, it should be the first "He's Textile Machine" has come out, after trying the effect, He Wan was speechless, Shao Dahu is okay, six yuan and the first champion Lang, this is the world's smartest person, one day to make a textile machine that does not need to be operated by people is possible!
After He Wan was shocked, she had already thought of something further away.
If it is in the south, what kind of weaving workshop does she open, she should sell this kind of "He's Textile Machine", she will definitely make a lot of money!
"Xiaolang, this-"
"It's okay, let the craftsmen do more first, replace all your weaving workshops with this new type of weaving machine, and when you have free up your hands, you can sell the textile machine to the south."
Dawei does not have a patent law, and it can make money by selling textile machines, but it can't make money for a lifetime, as long as the textile machine is circulated, it will soon be dismantled and imitated.
I don't care about Cheng Qing, it is not enough to rely on He Wan's weaving workshop, in the plan she provided to Meng Huaijin, to produce a large amount of cheap cloth dumped in Northern Qi, the production level of the entire textile industry in Dawei will become higher!
