Chapter 014: Jenny Spinning Machine and Flying Shuttle Loom
After thinking for a moment, a group of viewers began to add details.
"It's not about selling expensive clothes, if it's really ridiculously expensive clothes, no one can buy them if Brother Bei says it's too big! Well...... Unless the emperor likes it! β
"The most expensive material of ancient clothes is silk, silkworms are pampered, as long as you don't take care of them, it will die for you! Therefore, the production of silk is really scarce, and even in modern times, there is not much natural silk. β
"In ancient times, it seems that the only things that could be made into clothes were animal skin, hemp, silk and cotton, right? These are all natural fibers, and the yield can't be increased all at once! β
"That can't be helped, there were no factories in ancient times, and man-made fibers could not be made. Moreover, even if Beige can cross it, it is enough to make man-made fibers! It's not expensive or expensive, but it's a bit cumbersome. β
"Cotton weaving began to rise in the Song Dynasty, and the cotton of the Tang Dynasty should still be in the border areas, although there is no lack of possibility to be introduced to the Central Plains, but cotton cannot be eaten after all, and ordinary people should not grow it."
"Isn't the anchor unforgettable? Then by the way, make a note of the manufacturing method of man-made fibers! β
"The man-made fiber thing aside, wasn't the ancient spinning wheel low in power? Brother North can come around this! If the quality is not successful, we can have the quantity! β
"The guy above thought of going with me, you can go! As long as the amount of cloth produced is enough! Still afraid of not making money? β
"I remember that in ancient times, women who were proficient in spinning and weaving could weave about one meter of cloth a day...... You must know that in ancient times, a piece of cloth took more than ten meters, and after removing farm work and washing clothes and watching children, they usually could only weave one piece of cloth a month. β
"One piece of cloth can make two clothes, but it takes nearly a month, and the ancient weaving efficiency can be said to be a low batch! Looking at it this way, walking volume is indeed a good way to make money! β
In fact, judging from the fact that ancient women make one piece of cloth a month, it is not slow.
After half a year of hard work, they were able to buy two new clothes for the whole family.
Children consume less fabric, and all three can be made.
So why are the clothes of poor people in ancient times still full of patches?
This brings us to the way of life of the poor families in ancient times.
The price of a piece of cloth is not cheap, enough to sustain them.
A skillful woman earns as much money as her husband from weaving!
The first thing that the ancient commoners with the idea of small peasants must have been to have a full stomach.
Anything else can be put aside.
In response to the harsh taxes in ancient times, relying on a man may not be able to support the whole family.
Therefore, women must also rely on weaving to support their families.
As for the clothes on their bodies, they can still make do with it.
This is why the clothes worn by poor families in ancient times were always sewn and mended for another three years, the eldest wore them after the second child wore them, and the second child wore them after the third child wore them.
Unless it's a really torn buttocks, they don't make new clothes for their children.
Another thing has to be mentioned, if there is no man-made fiber, there may be many poor families in China who have no clothes to wear.
Hua Guoguang has a population of more than one billion, if this is all made of natural fibers, how much cotton will have to be planted?
Ningbei also made a note of artificial fibers.
Isn't the clothes for food, clothing, housing and transportation starting to fill things?
As the audience discusses, these five directions will eventually be filled with content!
When that time comes, he Ningbei will make money casually!
Anyway, he couldn't remember it, and it didn't take long to write down how the artificial fibers were made.
Maybe you can really make artificial fibers after crossing!
That's the real rich!
Since man-made fibers are manufactured, they have been closely related to life.
It's not just about making clothes!
At the moment, the audience is still discussing.
"This is mainly related to the ancient spinning wheel, the ancient spinning wheel only had one spindle, and the speed was naturally slow, I remember what was the spinning machine called there? It's several times faster than a regular spinning wheel! β
"Jenny spinning machine? Is that the spinning machine that is eight times faster than a conventional spinning wheel? There are also flying shuttle looms, which are also fast compared to ancient looms! β
"In fact, the spinning machine invented by Huang Daopo is also very fast, three times faster than the conventional spinning wheel, but compared with the speed of Jenny's spinning machine that is more than eight times, it is still a lot worse, and the manufacturing difficulty of the two items is about the same, and the anchor can ignore the Huang Daopo spinning machine."
"Brother Bei, you can write down the drawings of Jenny's spinning machine and flying shuttle loom, as long as you can make it, you alone are faster than eight!"
"What did you say? Brother Bei is a person who wants to make a lot of money, how can he weave cloth! No matter how you say it, you have to sell clothes properly! (Dog's Head)"
"I remember that there was a kind of spinning wheel with 32 spindles, which was 32 times faster than the conventional spinning wheel, but unfortunately it was lost...... Otherwise, there is something about Jenny's spinning machine! β
"Of course, it's best for Beige to pay attention to cotton, the Tang Dynasty has already imported cotton from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, but no one has promoted it. Without man-made fibres, cotton is definitely the best material for warmth and clothing. β
ββ¦β¦β
Ningbei wrote down Jenny's spinning machine and the shuttle loom.
The audience is right, since it can't cause qualitative change in a short period of time, let's pile up a quantitative change for the time being!
Here we have to talk about spinning machines and looms.
The spinning machine is to comb various natural fibers and add twist to spin them into yarns of various thicknesses.
Whereas, the loom weaves various yarns into cloth of various densities.
The finished product of a spinning machine is yarn, whereas the finished product of a loom is cloth.
In ancient times, the hand-shaken wooden spinning wheel was a spinning machine; The one who throws the shuttle to weave with the hands of the foot is the loom.
The same is true for Jenny spinning machines and flying shuttle looms, and the process of spinning and weaving is greatly accelerated!
The appearance of the Jenny spinning machine was hailed as a sign of the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the Eagle Country!
The great man once said: "The first invention that radically changed the condition of the workers of the Eagle Nation was the Jenny spinning machine." β
If Ningbei could build these two revolutionary machines in the Tang Dynasty, the impact might not only be a monopoly on the textile business!
The industrial revolution can be done abroad, but why not at home?
If the Tang Dynasty were to carry out the first industrial revolution, the whole world would be subjugated to the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!
Wealth, power, force, ambition, wisdom, that Tang Emperor has it!
Just when countless lofty ambitions flashed in Ning Bei's heart, the mobile phone suddenly lit up.
Qin Yangyue sent him a message,
γNorth ...... Brother Bei, I'm here, can you buy me a bag of Sophie? γ
Which one is that?
And what is Sophie?
A millisecond of doubt flashed in his mind, and Ning Bei thought that Sophie was the princess Feifei in the Pig Man.
What kind of sunny piggy is that thing called?
