Over the years, Xu Yungong's personality has become more and more stable, and he has won the style of Xu Da.

It's easy not to say much.

Such Xu Yungong attaches so much importance to the things on this car, and even thinks that it is more valuable than the treasures and antiques in the world. This made Zhu Su can't help but put away his naughty smile, and his whole face became serious.

"Okay, come here with a few careful people, and carry the things in the car to the king's bedroom."

"Remember, be sure to handle with care!"

Several big men moved together, lifted the big box covered by the cloth on the car, and carefully sent it to the bedroom in the Zhusu Palace. This is the most central courtyard of the palace, covering a large area, Zhu Su is quiet on weekdays, but no one dares to disturb easily.

Zhu Su looked at this extremely heavy box, and thought to himself that Xu Yungong would not secretly bring his sister out of the box. Just as he was about to ask, Xu Yungong had already taken out the key and opened the copper lock on the box. "Your Highness, please see."

Zhu Su nodded and stepped forward, only to see that what was lying in the box was a familiar machine that was different from what he had in his impression.

"It's ...... Jenny Machine! ”

Zhu Su is overjoyed!

When he left Beijing a few days ago, Zhu Su once entrusted the prototype of Jenny Machine to the Xu family sisters and brothers. Zhu Su attaches great importance to this machine, which revolutionized traditional industry to a certain extent and triggered the first industrial revolution.

He is the help of the encroachment of the grassland in the future, and is the most indispensable part of the "sheep eat people" plan. It is also the top priority to liberate the private productive forces in China and promote the expansion of the market.

As long as there is a Jenny machine that can greatly improve production efficiency, Daming will be able to produce more wool and silk, forcing businessmen to take the lead in developing overseas dumping markets, and at the same time, more people will be able to participate in Daming's future expansion plans.

Otherwise, with the population of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty today, it is absolutely impossible to expand externally.

However, the production of Jenny machines is not so easy. In history, the technical difficulty of the Jenny machine that appeared in order to spin cotton was not very high, and it was just an ordinary textile worker who made it.

However, in Daming, this machine has many unsuitable places.

One of the reasons is that the demand for cotton textiles in the Ming Dynasty is not high, and throughout the Ming Dynasty, the planting area of cotton is far from being comparable with mulberry fields and rice fields. And the profit of cotton textile is far less than that of silk weaving. A single piece of silk shipped to the Western world can often be ten times or even a hundred times more profitable. And what about cotton? Hehe, it's good to be able to take a trip without losing money.

And in order to achieve the effect of "sheep eating people", Daming not only needs this machine to spin, but also needs it to spin wool. The weaving of wool is much more difficult than cotton, Zhu Su's own hand rubbing out of the first generation of Jenny machine, although it can spin eight threads at the same time, but the spun threads are of different thicknesses, and there is no toughness, with such threads to weave into sweaters, will only damage the reputation of the Chinese people's ingenuity, can not be regarded as a commodity at all.

"Yungong, this machine ...... It's done? Zhu Su asked in disbelief.

Xu Yungong nodded. "My sister studied this loom day after day, and finally successfully overcame the defects of this loom a few days ago."

"Now this loom can spin cotton, spin wool, and spin 28 silk threads at a time!"

"If you increase the spindle, this number can continue to increase. Moreover, the silk threads produced by this machine are as thick and thin as they are, even far better than those silk threads spun by craftsmen one by one. ”

Moreover, in terms of the cost of this machine, my sister has also been optimized. For a machine, the cost of raw materials is only less than five taels of silver. As long as there are enough craftsmen, within half a month, a large-scale loom can be produced! ”

"Good! Good! ”

"Sure enough, there are far more treasures than the world!" Zhu Su looked left and right around the Jenny machine, which was called a joy. "A few days ago, an official sent a Laoshzi Xiangrui to slap his father, and he was angrily reprimanded by his father."

"In my opinion, those things that don't exist can be called auspicious. Such a machine that can bring great changes is the auspicious rui of our Ming Dynasty! ”

"No, this is not something I can do alone. Yun Gong, you are ready to prepare, let's put this thing on the carriage and horse again, and enter the palace to report the good news! ”

Before Xu Yungong could refuse, he was dragged into the palace by the excited Zhu Su. When he arrived in the palace, Lao Zhu was in front of him as the Liver Emperor, but Queen Ma was still idle. Seeing Zhu Su pulling Xu Yungong over, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's Yungong, you've grown so tall." ”

"After your father left Beijing, he hasn't been able to see you and your sister for some days. It's not good. ”

"Our two families are world friends, we should move around more, otherwise we will all be divided. Xiao Wu'er, you dragged Yun Gong into the palace today, do you have something important to look for? ”

"Mother sent someone to call him?"

"He's busy, so there's no need to bother." Zhu Su said. "And you're much more capable than my father. In this matter, I also want to ask you, a hidden master, to help a group of children! ”

Queen Ma knocked on Zhu Su's forehead, and in a blink of an eye, she saw a few tall palace people coming in with boxes, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?" ”

So Zhu Su and Xu Yungong talked carefully about the usefulness of this "Jenny machine" and the impact it will bring in the future.

"Twenty-eight threads can be spun at one time?" Queen Ma is a veteran of weaving, even after becoming a queen, she often spins cloth shoes in the palace in order to save some expenses.

In her Kunning Palace, the most conspicuous thing is a loom that she has used for many years.

As soon as she saw the loom this time, she just looked at it and understood how to use it. The people of the palace brought raw materials and began to spin threads on the spot.

After a short time of spinning the spindle, twenty or so yarns were spun. After taking a closer look, Queen Ma couldn't help but be surprised: "It's really spun the thread!" ”

"And this wool is as thick and thin, soft and tough, it is even better than the craftsmen in the palace!"

"What's more, this loom spins several times faster, and the spindle turns with less effort. With this thing, the tens of thousands of catties of wool that were bought with great difficulty in the backlog in the warehouse can be regarded as not having to be wasted! ”

Since Zhu Su taught Queen Ma how to knit sweaters, Queen Ma's interest has changed from wearing soles to knitting sweaters. On weekdays, even if he takes Zhu Xiongying with him, he has to occasionally pick it up and knit two stitches. He even weaved a few old palace maids in the palace who were reluctant to leave the palace, and opened a sweater factory in the palace, specializing in weaving wool and knitting sweaters, so that they could form an industry.

However, this sweater industry chain that was personally stood by the queen did not cause any waves. The most important reason is the low efficiency of weaving wool, before the Jenny machine was successfully developed, the women workers in the sweater factory could only knead the yarn by hand. The output of wool cannot go up, and the production of sweaters naturally does not have much production. Although Queen Ma made a sweater, it was only enough to knit a few pieces for Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao and a few other people, which was considered to be self-entertainment.

On the northern side of Xinjiang, in order to secretly support those tribes who had two hearts for the Yuan Court, they were allowed to trade secretly with Daming with wool. Although the output of wool cannot go up, the wool is continuously transported to Yingtianlai, although the price of these wool is extremely low, often only a copper coin, can be exchanged for most of the car.

But I can't stand the trouble of transporting along the way, somewhat, it's still a bit wasteful.

Looking at the wool piled up in the treasury, Queen Ma often feels distressed: so much wool can't be digested, so the sweater business is always a loss-making business.

This cost is all the family of the Ming Dynasty!

How can she, who has always been thrifty, not worry?
