Chapter 8: Harmony with the Lyce
Wei Shi is a person of later generations, who values women's human rights, and does not want to do things against women's wishes.
Cai Guang is not.
This splash is a hungry ghost in the sex, and he is still happy that the immature girl is mourning and crying under him, and he has been to Wei Shi's house at the beginning, and almost stained Wei Xiao'e's innocence.
After marrying back to Yu Niang, Cai Guang borrowed Cai Lichang's words to support Cai's mother, and wanted to overlord the bow that night.
As a result, it was fiercely resisted by Yu Niang, and under the beating of the two, Cai Guang's uninjured treasure weapon was hit again, and the blood flowed for a while.
"You slut, dare not listen to Lao Tzu." Cai Guang was angry, and slammed his fist into Yu Niang's eye socket, without the slightest intention of pity for the jade.
After a while, Cai Guang shook out all the things in Yu Niang's baggage.
The few strings of plant money that Yu Niang had accumulated by weaving cloth and doing needlework were also looted by Cai Guang.
After getting the money, this gambler-addicted guy staggered out the door and headed in the direction of the gambling house in Deng Cheng.
It's just that poor little Yuniang was beaten all over her body, and she was hungry and hungry, and passed out in the courtyard of Cai Guang's house, if no one found out, a small life would be gone.
Fortunately, after Cai's mother and Cai Li had a long time, they still knew to go home, which saved Yu Niang's life.
A family election has increased Xinye County's taxes a lot.
The Shinno Prefecture Commander is very happy about this.
He was not well-informed, and he didn't know that outside Xiangyang City, General Zhennan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biaozheng and the imperial uncle Liu Bei were drinking and talking, and the ownership of Xinye was determined at this time.
The overall situation of Nanyang County is not something that Wei Shi can influence.
The most important thing for him now is to feed a family of three.
Relying on his clearer night vision ability and more sophisticated archery skills, Wei Shi can barely have food if he hunts and survives, but if he wants to go further, he is powerless.
At the beginning, Wei Shi had put the goal of revitalizing the family business on the blacksmith Wei's blacksmith left behind in the blacksmith.
Ancestral skills cannot be discarded.
However, after learning about the Han Dynasty's laws on iron weapons, especially weapons, after learning about Deng Fan and Huang Xu, Wei Shi gave up the idea of improving his iron-striking skills first.
The two armies of Liu Biao and Cao Cao confronted each other, and the swords were tense.
Both sides are expanding their strength on the front line, and if Wei Shi shows his ability to make sophisticated weapons, it won't be long before he will be arrested.
Based on Wei Shi's understanding of Liu Biao's ability to govern the army, once he joins the army, he is afraid that he will have his life to go and not to return.
The ironware shop was not needed for the time being, so Wei Shi turned his direction to spinning cloth, which was inspired by Han Qiuyun's thick calloused hands that were spun.
When he was in Hanjiawan, Han Qiuyun's main thing to do was to use a spinning wheel to spin thread, of course, limited to technical reasons, Han's spinning wheel was still the kind of hand-cranked single spindle car.
When Wei Shi was in graduate school, he went to the museum to study the textile technology of the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Three Kingdoms in order to write his graduation thesis, and saw the appearance of the three-spindle spinning and linen spinning wheel in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Use your feet instead of your hands.
The freed hands can be combined and strengthened, so that the production efficiency can be increased by two to three times.
Wei Shi said that he would do it, and the wood used to make the spinning wheel was also ready-made, and there were branches with thick bowls in the elm forest, which were cut off to make the keel of the spinning wheel.
After Han Qiuyun heard that Wei Shi was going to improve the spinning wheel, he was very curious.
A spinning wheel to step on?
It made her look forward to it.
It took Wei Shi seven days to complete the production of various parts of the new spinning wheel, and then under the gaze of Han Qiuyun and Wei Xiao'e, he assembled a strange-looking pedal spinning wheel.
"Try it, see what happens?" Wei Shi straightened up and said to Han Qiuyun.
Han Qiuyun's hands and feet were nimble, and as soon as she kicked her long legs, she sat on the chair, she was still a little busy at first, and after a while, her driving skills gradually became proficient.
Compared with the hand-cranked spinning wheel, which bends over and spins the thread in a hurry, Wei Shi's new spinning wheel has increased the number of spindles to four, and the speed has also increased all of a sudden.
What's more, the whole person is more relaxed than before.
"Wei Lang......." Looking at the large ball of twine spun in just a few moments, Han Qiuyun's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In the Han Dynasty, men farmed, hunted, traded, and served in the military, occupying a dominant position in the family.
Women are at a disadvantage, and their only source of income, apart from giving birth and raising, is spinning threads in the intervals.
With this new spinning wheel, Han Qiuyun can work for three days in one day for other women, and in this way, she can make money three times faster than others.
"Brother, Xiao'e also needs to ......" Wei Xiao'e stood on tiptoe and looked at Han Qiuyun's flexible posture with envy, she also wanted to go up and give it a try, but her body was too short to reach the pedal.
Wei Shi touched Wei Xiao'e's head and said with a smile: "Xiao'e is still young, when she grows up, Brother will make you a better and faster spinning wheel." ”
Han Qiuyun had a place to use, and he didn't sleep all night with excitement.
Wei Shi originally wanted to use the spinning wheel to win her favor, and then find the feeling of your affection, but when it was dawn, he didn't see Han Qiuyun stop.
This woman, with a sense of professionalism, forgets the men around her.
Wei Shi decided that after finding a chance to be alone, he should teach Han Qiuyun a good hand, so that she could understand what the real harmony is.
From this day on, the Wei family, which had always been left out in the cold, suddenly became lively.
The women in the village liked gossip, and after hearing about Han Qiuyun's new spinning wheel, they all found excuses to visit.
When they saw with their own eyes that the new spinning wheel was really several times faster than the original, these village women fell into a frenzy, and begged Wei Shi to make them one too.
Of course, Wei Shi would not agree.
Do it for Han Qiuyun, that is fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
If you do it for other village women, you won't get much benefit, and it will also provoke the collective hostility of the men in the village.
With the help of the new spinning wheel, Han Qiuyun was full of energy, swept away the bad luck of being a widow before, and the whole person became cheerful.
Wei Shi was not idle during this time.
The output of spinning thread increased, and he found that it was a loss to sell it to Cai He, who collected the thread in the village.
In Xinye City, a new linen weaving and spinning company has recently opened, judging from the signboard of the word "Mi", it should be opened by the rich merchant Mi who followed Liu Bei from Xuzhou.
The Mi family started with sea salt and was rich in Xuzhou.
Such a strong dragon crossing the river, when it comes to the small place of Xinye, other weavers have no chance of winning if they want to compete with the Mi family.
After Wei Shi saw Mi Zhu with a rich face and a lovely smile, he made up his mind to use spinning thread as a medium to strive to get in touch with the Mi family, and then develop in Xutu.
With the export channel of Mijia, Wei Shi began to buy spinning thread in the village, and the price was one percent higher than Cai He, who monopolized the spinning business.
In the past, the village women spun their own money, and they didn't know the real market of spinning, but now with the gathering place of the Wei family, you say a word, I say a word, and Cai He's old bottom is revealed.
Gradually, more and more village women began to send spinning threads to the Wei family, entrusting Wei Shi to take them to the city and sell them.
Compared with Cai He, who eats human blood steamed buns, they obviously trust Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun more than their husbands and wives.
Cai He's financial road was broken, and he almost broke his teeth with hatred.
In anger, he ran to Cai Lichang and cried.
When Cai Lichang heard the complaint of his brother, he became more and more dissatisfied with Wei Shi.
A foreign surname, not to mention causing trouble, and robbing their Cai family's business, if he doesn't teach some lessons, then where is his face.
It was night, at Cai Guang's house.
Cai He, Cai Guang, Cai Mu and other cadres of Cai's village tyrants are all here.
After some deliberation, they decided to do both.
Cai He and Cai's mother were responsible for convincing the village women, warning them not to associate with the Wei family anymore, especially not to sell the spinning thread to Wei Shi, otherwise they would be expelled from Yushuwan Village.
Cai Lichang and Cai Guang were responsible for contacting the Xiangyang clan and striving to obtain a copy of the public certificate of Cai Mao, the general of Zhennan, as long as he got the signature, he could send Wei Shi to serve as a lieutenant general in the army.
As soon as Wei Shi was transferred, Han Qiuyun and Wei Xiao'e were left, and they were not at the mercy of the Cai family.
