034: Hmph, she let him hurt her? (1st Update)
This time, Bai Shi also came to see the excitement, looked at the somewhat strange spinning machine and asked Chang Xi, "Is this really easy to use?" How is this big wheel here? Is it possible to spin more yarn by turning it? There are still a few rows of spindles here, so many, is it possible that this big wheel can drive so many spindles to turn......" The more he talked, the more excited he became.
"The Eighth Young Lady is interested, why don't you try it?" Chang Xi encouraged.
She doesn't know how to weave, although she has seen it in Chang San'e's memory, but it will be revealed in practice, so she directly uses her strengths and avoids her weaknesses, and lets the incarnation of the baby be curious.
Pak had studied weaving before, and he spun quite well, and when he heard this, he was eager to try this new spinning machine without saying a word.
This is different from the traditional spinning machine in the past, which used to sit down to spin, but now the new machine has to stand to work.
Chang Xi watched from the sidelines, and the carpenter Yang Craftsman explained the key points of use to Bai's family, and she explained a sentence or two on the side, the purpose was not to make Xie Jin, who was watching from the side, suspicious, after all, the original sketch was provided by her.
Pak got started very quickly, and drove the rope sleeve Sui Kai and the small runner to rotate through the large runner, which was equipped with an ingot rod, and the spindle rod had a hook, and the spindle was mounted on the spindle rod.
When spinning, a small strand of cotton yarn is fixed on the hook, and then twisted by hand, when spinning, the small runner is driven by the big runner to twist the cotton thread, and the yarn is stretched while twisting, and after a certain step, the cotton yarn is spun onto the spindle.
Compared with the traditional spinning machine used today, this spinning machine can increase the workload several times.
Bai Shi liked the yarn more and more, and it didn't take long for her to see that the fruits of her labor were very gratifying, and then said to Chang Xi while spinning, "Chang Niangzi, this is good, you see that I have spun spindles for so many years with such a little effort, if it is a large group of people spinning, the results are amazing." The tone seemed to hug back a mountain of gold.
Chang Xi looked at it, in fact, it was just like that, compared to the later generations, this is simply a small thing, but everything has to have an evolutionary process, and it is impossible for her to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, so she can only come step by step.
Craftsman Yang on the side said, "If there is any weakness in this machine, it is that this conveyor belt can only be made of leather, the cost is too high, and it often has to be replaced."
"It's not hard." Xie Jindao.
When Chang Xi heard this, he knew that he had a way to obtain the skin, but this problem still had to be solved, and the mechanized production of tea bricks would also be used at that time, so she pretended to ponder for a while, and she said, "I heard that there is an island country in the South Seas that is rich in a kind of rubber tree, and its sap can be made into a kind of rubber skin, which is strong and durable, and the cost can also be reduced......
"Chang Niangzi, is there really such a tree?" Craftsman Yang was pleasantly surprised.
Chang Xi nodded, "But we have to let someone find it, when the time comes, we can transplant the southernmost place of the Daewoo Dynasty, and the climate there should be able to plant a large number of such trees."
Xie Jin's heart was full of surprise, because it was the first time he had heard of it, and before today, he boasted that he had learned to be rich and five cars, but now he found that he didn't know as much as Chang Xi, so he said with a little curiosity, "Did you also hear it from foreign devils?"
Chang Xi's face was not red, and he said without a red heart, "Yes, otherwise where would I know about this kind of tree?"
Xie Jin thinks about it is also the same reason, Chang Xi used to be Chang San'e when he was still Chang San'e, but he didn't even know a few big characters, and later learned to read when he entered the mansion, if it was from the book, then she would be too rebellious, after all, he had seen all the books in the library of the Xie Mansion, and none of them had mentioned this kind of tree.
"I'll send someone to the Nanyang you said to look for ......."
"No, I have useful people here to look for them, they are more familiar with the waters near the Daewoo Dynasty, so it will be faster for them to find them."
Xie Jin thought of the group of foreign devils that Chang Xi knew, no matter where she came from, she seemed to be able to communicate with people, so it was not surprising that she would say this, he was indeed not as deep as her in this area, so he nodded and agreed with what she said.
Chang Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally perfunctory this stubble.
Xie Jin really saw the spinning ability of this new machine, so he instructed Zhou Nandao, "You find someone to spin yarn on both old and new spinning machines, and see this product."
How much can it be increased, give me an exact value when the time comes."
Zhou Nan answered and took over this errand, and one more errand was added, which made him secretly complain, this day is almost over, and he is much busier than before.
Chang Xi saw Jin say what she wanted to say, so she didn't mention this stubble, but said to Craftsman Yang, "You first find all the carpenters around here to specialize in this kind of spinning machine, but everyone must sign a confidentiality contract, if there is a leak, I will definitely sue the government to investigate your responsibility."
Craftsman Yang has been working in this courtyard for a while, so he naturally heard the confidentiality contract, and agreed without any objection, although everyone in this line of work has something to eat, but not everyone has a long-term job, so it is not difficult for Chang Niangzi to let him form this workshop.
"I, these apprentices, go out and recruit people."
Chang Xi nodded, she didn't care about recruiting people, after all, her connections were limited, and she was close to everything, not to mention that she would be tired to death, and her work efficiency was not high.
Several people have discussed the matter properly, and Bai Shi is still spinning the yarn there with great interest, she has a lot of strength and strength, and she can really last a long time to do this.
Chang Xi looked at it for a while, and didn't ignore the smile on Bai's face, it was rare for Baishi to smile so truthfully, so she said, "Eighth Young Lady, are you interested in settling in this spinning workshop?"
Hearing this, Pak almost spun the yarn, so he stopped and pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"
"Yes, you."
Hearing Chang Xi's affirmative answer, Bai Shi was stunned, she never thought of going out of the besieged city to work outside.
However, thinking that Chang Xi had established a tea brick workshop and operated it well, and the handmaidens who followed her seemed to have a new look, which looked very different from the handmaidens in the back house, she was actually quite envious when she saw it, but she was still a little hesitant.
Chang Xi saw that Bai Shi was moved and hesitant, so he said, "You don't need to answer me now, you can go back and discuss it with Eighth Master Xie or your mother's family."
Bai Shi definitely has the ability to come out and do things, it depends on whether she wants to do it or not, for the wealthy women of this era, this issue is a bit out of the outline, but Chang Xi still wants to give Bai this opportunity.
"Then I'll think about it." Pak Path.
Chang Xi nodded, so she continued to spin here, turned around and walked out with Xie Jin, and had to go to Lin Yuqi's laboratory to see how it was going.
"Are there really so many amazing species overseas?" On the way, Xie Jin asked.
Chang Xi was not surprised that Xie Jin would ask this, in fact, the Daewoo Dynasty now doesn't look at the overseas trade in full swing, but not many people's eyes are looking outward, in other words, they don't have the idea of expanding overseas, they only feel that they are all barbarians in the Celestial Empire.
"Of course, if you think about how big this world is, how much does Daewoo Country occupy? If the waters around us can be incorporated into the territory of Daewoo Country, the resources that Daewoo Country can get will at least double."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chang Xi instilled in Xie Jin that some places overseas can achieve three crops in one season, and their climate is particularly suitable for the growth of rice, if rice varieties can be improved, then high-yield rice will be transported into Daewoo in an endless stream, so many people will starve to death?
If Daewoo can achieve industrialization, the goods produced can be dumped overseas, which is equivalent to realizing an economic internal circulation, and the national strength of Daewoo will increase exponentially.
Such words were a shock to Xie Jin, and Xie He, who taught him, never mentioned these things, or even Xie He was not aware of these economic problems.
Chang Xi saw Xie Jin silently and closed his mouth at the right time, he had to give him some time to digest this question.
After a long time, Xie Jin said, "Do you know that the coastal area is not peaceful, and many people have written to the emperor before, asking for the sea to be forbidden, so that those pirates will not have the opportunity to burn, kill and loot on land."
For this question, Chang Xi didn't think about it, "Xie Jiuye, then we need our strong ships and cannons, which are indispensable for guarding the coastline of the country, as for the forbidden sea, it is impossible to ban it, you know that the people on this coastline rely on the sea to eat the sea, if you ban the sea with your front foot, others will smuggle it with your back foot, that is a complete industrial chain, you can't ban it."
Now, if we trade overseas like this, we won't lose tax revenue."
Speaking of this, she felt that the city secretary really needed to be reformed, but she was not in her position and could only put it on hold for the time being, so she sighed in her heart and couldn't say much.
Xie Jin looked at the ambition flashing in her eyes and smiled, she didn't know that she sometimes wrote ambition on her face, but fortunately, her ambition was not the kind that made people feel disgusted at first glance, on the contrary, he could feel her vigorous vitality.
On the other side, Bai Shi waited until her husband Xie Ming came back, and then discussed Chang Xi's proposal with him, and finally said eagerly, "Do you think I want to go to the newly built textile workshop?"
Xie Ming looked Bai Shi up and down, and said unceremoniously, "Do you think you have this ability? Don't go when the time comes, won't it be a shame to do it badly?"
When Bai Shi heard this, he said unhappily, "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, you know what he can do, why can't I do it?"
She refused to admit defeat.
Xie Ming couldn't tell her, so he immediately shut up, leaving only one sentence, "It's good if you're happy." The hind feet quickly slipped away to tease the child, so that he didn't want to be in the same room with her, hum, don't you know how many pounds and taels you have? I don't take a basin of water to take care of myself, what do I compare with Chang Xi?
Bai Shi directly picked up the thing in his hand and smashed it at the back of Xie Ming's head, hum, she let him hurt her?
Xie Ming reacted quickly and dodged, turned around and said, "I don't know like a woman."
"Get out!"
Bai Shi didn't get a good word from Xie Ming, so she deliberately went back to her mother's house from the other courtyard to discuss with her mother.
