Chapter 135: The Loom
Huo Gang was a little stunned when he listened to it next to him, is this the ancient craftsman? Huo Gang just gave them an idea, but how could they give an almost correct answer in such a short time?
"Master, I think it's okay, but how to provide the power in this still needs to be tested." Lu Mu said honestly.
"Everyone Lu." Huo Gang thought about it and simply interrupted their thinking.
Since Huo Gang has already taken out the spinning machine, he will not stop doing it, and he will simply forget about the shuttle.
China's traditional loom, in fact, is almost the same as the shuttle loom behind, almost identical, the only improvement in later generations is the shuttle, of course, there is no way to compare with the modern shuttle, but this period can already make the simplest shuttle, this is not difficult.
In fact, like the previous spinning machine, it is a matter of ideas, sometimes it is a problem that can be easily realized, and sometimes an idea can limit people for hundreds of years.
"General." Lu Ji came back to his senses from thinking and spoke.
"Lu, since you know how to make spinning machines, then looms should also be able to do it." Huo Gang asked very dryly.
"Yes, and did the general also improve the loom?" Lu Ji immediately asked with his eyes lit up.
"There is no improvement in it, the loom is basically perfect, but I do have an idea, you should know that the shuttle used to cross the weft insertion in the middle of the loom is now used to pass it manually. If you need to make a cloth with a wide banner, then you need two people to cooperate, which is very cumbersome. Huo Gang said.
The weft insertion is the horizontal line when the shuttle drives the weaving.
"Old decay understands." Lu Ji nodded immediately, as a carpenter, of course he knew what Huo Gang said.
"Then I was thinking, why not make a groove in the horizontal wood of the weft, and then fix the shuttle in the groove, pull it by the rope, pull the rope once, and the shuttle will automatically shuttle left and right in the groove once, and at the same time complete the work of weft insertion, and then directly beat the weft. In this way, the wide cloth can be used to complete the weaving work alone, and the hands-free will make the skilled worker more efficient. ”
"And it means that wider fabrics can be made, wider fabrics can be customized, and the cost will naturally go down." Huo Gang directly said his statement, this is the primary shuttle.
As soon as Huo finished speaking, Lu Ji and Lu Mu were stunned for a moment, and then Lu Ji couldn't help but open his mouth with his eyes shining: "Feasible, completely feasible, the general is really a god in the sky, just this small change has at least doubled the efficiency of weaving!" ”
"Then these two tasks will be handed over to the Lu family, and even this Fei Suo Lu everyone, you can consider how to make it faster, or directly by animal power, or even windmills, water power, these will drive the loom, completely liberate manpower, then the weaving speed will be faster!" Huo Gang smiled and said again.
He believed that these ancient craftsmen could definitely do this!
Lu Ji took a deep breath, although Huo Gang's request was difficult, but Lu Ji couldn't help but start to imagine that under the drive of water power and even windmills, the loom would naturally start to work, so that the cloth they weaved would be sold all over the world!
"The old decay will live up to the trust!" Lu Ji took a deep breath, then arched his hand directly at Huo Gang, and said with a respectful face.
"In that case, then I'm relieved." Huo Gang smiled and nodded with satisfaction, food, clothing, housing and transportation, Huo Gang is now solving the problem of food and housing, and this clothing is also very important, how much money silk made for ancient China, Huo Gang is very clear.
The most important thing is that when these two things come out, it means that Huo Gang's wool under his name now has a place to use, and once the wool has a place to use, it means that Huo Gang can use this method to continuously start encroaching on the surrounding Turkic territories.
Sheep eating people is not impossible to play in this era, as long as you have enough resources, sheep eat people, you can still play.
Of course, if you want to play the strategy of sheep eating people, you must also have plenty of steel knives in your hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, then I will go to Yiwu first, and the affairs of the family will be left to you." Huo Gang arched his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Congratulations to the General!" Everyone, including Anno, spoke in unison.
Huo Gang didn't hesitate, everything that should be explained was explained, the jade Huo Gang had already been left to Tian Zhong and them, and when Huo Gang came back, they could almost finish carving the seal for Huo Gang.
In this era, no one will dare to imitate this thing, and the announcement with the seal is equivalent to the government order of this era.
There are Sun Er in charge of the construction site, and their current task is to fire a large amount of cement, and quickly begin to expand the cellar furnace, and after the migration of Tongluobu, the output of cement will quickly begin to expand dramatically after the manpower increases.
It can be said that all the work has entered the preliminary track, and Huo Gang now only needs to take down the Yiwu country and turn it into Yiwu City, which means that Huo Gang has completely mastered the two important Silk Roads, whether it is eastward or westward, for Huo Gang, he has a degree of strategic space.
After leaving Yangguan, Huo Gang led Huo Zheng, Gongsun Lin and others directly to the mining area, and explained to Yang Laowu, and Huo Gang went to Tongluobu.
Although according to the time, the Tongluo Department has already begun to migrate, after all, Huo Gang's request for them is ten days, and according to the time, they should almost arrive, but Mingyue They should not come over for the time being, and I don't know if they can complete the task given to them by Huo Gang.
Regardless of whether it is completed or not, Huo Gang can't wait too long, it's a big deal that Huo Gang just goes to solve this matter directly.
This time, Huo Gang did not take Ma Yuan's heavy cavalry, but chose Gongsun Lin's light cavalry, to a certain extent, Gongsun Lin's light cavalry is more practical and can be used in different situations.
Moreover, Gongsun Lin's 1,000 cavalry combat effectiveness was not weak at all, and Ashye was defeated by Gongsun Lin. So it was enough to have Gongsun Lin, not to mention, if there was a need, Huo Gang could summon three thousand infantry at any time.
The 3,000 elite infantry in the Western Regions is almost overwhelming, at least the overall strength of the Iwu Kingdom is estimated to be less than 3,000.
Sure enough, just on the way to the main headquarters of the Tongluo Ministry, Huo Gang met the Tongluo Ministry, which was migrating, but at this moment, in the migration team of the Tongluo Ministry, the Han military flag was erected in the wind!
