Chapter 187: Golden Silk
Building roads and bridges, although the tools are still in the Stone Age, the courage of infrastructure has been hidden in the bones.
Population, tools, food, at the moment there is definitely not enough food, and the tools are not good enough, so the population can only be used to make up for the shortcomings of the two. Therefore, the major projects of the Lu State will be carried out through a large number of forced labor, because they all bring their own food, and the construction period can be shortened by more people, so the food consumed by everyone will be reduced.
500 people spend three months building roads, which is normal in Lu country.
With the bridge, horse-drawn carriages can pass briskly, and it may have taken half a day to cross the river, but now it only takes a few breaths to cross the flat plank bridge, and you don't have to worry about how heavy your cart is loaded.
When there are more people coming to the village, the handicrafts made by the wild people themselves can be exchanged for more feed, or in exchange for resources that are not available in the village.
For example, salt, although Yunyao is not short of salt, but the savages are lacking, and when they are rich, they also want to eat salt every day.
There is also better leather, replace all the clothes and quilts at home with different fur splicing, and replace them with better-looking ones, and when you are full, you must start to pursue aesthetics.
As the lord of the quarry, Yun Yao deeply felt that the inhabitants of the quarry were chasing after her, and maybe one day the living conditions of the savages would surpass her.
Now Yun Yao is working hard to manage the medicine garden, strive to plant the medicine well, need to water at a specific time, to know how to look at the stars, calculate feng shui, in short, to plant a good immortal medicine is not only the need for quantifiable factors, such as how much watering, how much sun, what fertilizer, how much fertilizer, these are very important for ordinary crops, but the immortal medicine does not only need these, but also needs to meet some unquantifiable conditions, which can only be met by measuring the time and looking at feng shui.
Yunyao is also the first time to plant immortal medicine, in strict accordance with the "farmer's technique", more than 20 days Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng have emerged, the growth is gratifying.
"In this way, you can grow ten years of medicinal power in a year to meet the initial needs." Yun Yao still wants to challenge the power of growing a hundred years of medicine every year.
How many years of medicine can be grown depends on the level of the medicine garden, and the medicine garden cultivated by Qingfeng Yiqiu is the same as the Seven Star Array of Red Mulberry, which belongs to the most basic, and the medicinal power that grows ten years in a year is already the upper limit. But Yun Yao has a plug-in, and she wants to use the annual rings to challenge the growth of a hundred years of medicinal power in a year.
At first, she was pulling out the seedlings and wanted to succeed in one go, but the seedlings exploded directly, which made her realize that the elixir was very delicate, and she should be careful not to be too rough, so she changed her method, that is, to irradiate it with annual rings every day. Moreover, it is divided into experimental subjects such as A, B, C, D, etc., and the time of irradiation is not the same every day, so it is necessary to see what is the difference between the elixir irradiated in different time periods after maturity.
This is also the accumulation of experience, just like astronomers to record the starry sky and meteorology over the years, derive the trajectory of the starry sky, and get the different solar terms of the year.
Because it became common knowledge that years of records draw conclusions, and then pass them on from generation to generation.
What Yun Yao has to do now is also record, she suspects that the immortal can skip this process and come to a conclusion directly, because the immortal can count, but unfortunately she is not an immortal yet, so she can only use this stupid method.
The result was much better than Yun Yao imagined, and after three months, the road was completed, and the irradiated green light immortal medicine in the medicine garden had grown, and half of the immortal medicine irradiated by the green mangs had a hundred years of medicinal power, and those that did not meet the requirements also had fifty or sixty years of medicinal power.
"The irradiation at night is full of a hundred years of medicinal power, which shows that the effect of green light at night is better than that during the day?" Through experiments, Yun Yao discovered this rule, and the power of green light was halved during the day.
"Three months to achieve the effect of a year, the speed is very fast, these trees can already be harvested." Yun Yao did not continue to irradiate, because she knew that it was impossible to continue to provide nutrition if she continued to irradiate the medicine garden, and the hundred-year-old medicinal power was the limit of the primary medicine garden's blessing of green light.
The mature herbs are put away first and put into the jade box, and the others continue to be cultivated, and by the way, the results of irradiating green light at different growth stages of different medicinal materials are recorded. See if it is better to irradiate during the seedling period, or during the growth period, or after growth.
Today, Yun Yao left the medicine garden because it was time to start weaving golden silk.
After debugging and many times of use, the use and ability of the jacquard machine have been excavated, and Yun Yao feels that it should be able to put on gold silk.
So I chose a crisp autumn day and entered the grass house to start weaving.
"I've tried it with ordinary silk before, and I've also tried it with hemp rope, and there is no problem with the loom." Yun Yao entered the house and prepared to start work.
Prepare for the line first, which is a very troublesome preparation process, because the warp rake to be removed to sort out the warp thread, grind a crochet needle with a bamboo chip, and reach the silk thread through the silk eye on the warp rake, which can save a lot of time. There are fewer warps and more wefts, ten parts of silk, four parts of warp, and six parts of weft.
Then the warp rake is loaded back into the jacquard machine and the warp threads are secured.
Then prepare the spindle and shuttle, use both hands and feet, and start working.
As Yun Yao stepped on the pedal, the warp separated, the right hand flicked the shuttle through the gap, and then the left hand pulled the warp rake to press the weft, and then stepped on the pedal The warp line swapped and the gap appeared again, and the left hand flicked the shuttle back to the right hand......
The huge jacquard machine began to work repeatedly.
The golden silk gradually took shape, and it was normal at first, although it was much heavier than ordinary silk, but Yun Yao didn't think it was a problem if he had brute strength. But as the silk grew longer and longer, Yun Yao found that the golden silk was actually absorbing her mana. And the action of the jacquard machine is getting heavier and heavier, and every time it requires Yunyao to go all out.
This is so abnormal, why is this happening?
No one could answer, because no mortal had ever used a mortal jacquard machine to process gold silk, let alone Yun Yao specially enlarged the loom for processing.
In the past, there was gold silk but no loom, but in the Shang Dynasty, there were looms but no one processed gold silk. Now Yun Yao processes gold silk in a different way, which is definitely the first time in the history of Honghuang.
Since it is a great attempt that has never been done before, anything is possible.
It's so heavy, so tired, Yun Yao is sweating profusely but can't stop, because she feels that her body is dominated by the power of heaven and earth, and now she is a medium, and what is really weaving is the power of omnipotence. However, this power is too huge, and as a medium, Du Niang is under pressure beyond the limits of her body all the time.
Every movement is as if the cells are stretching, and the cells are constantly being pulled like rubber bands, and the taste is only known to the person concerned.
Fortunately, Yun Yao usually blesses the weight of the power of heaven and earth to do physical exercises, otherwise she would have been unable to bear the disintegration.
Hongsang noticed that there was a condensation of energy in the caiyi, and thought that someone was traveling nearby. After induction, I found out that my good apprentice had become a part of the jacquard machine and could not regain his freedom.
Hurriedly came to Yun Yao's side, only to see that the golden silk was full of incredible energy, the pattern of the cloud emitted the red light of the sunset, and the pattern of lightning released the golden light......
Immediately realized that the Heavenly Dao was blessing this silk. 111
