With the foreshadowing of the previous businessmen, the rich didn't say anything, you told us to see it, and we watched it.

Deseeding the cotton, loosening it, spinning the thread, weaving, yes, these are the four steps.

As for washing cotton or something, I don't care about it, looking at the Weaver Girl operation in front of me, can you still see the flowers? Unless they weave with a jacquard machine.

"Look, everybody, in the beginning! We didn't have cotton, it was only later that it was introduced to the above dynasties, and then it was used to weave cloth.

In the past, we used silk to make clothes, and the people used hemp and ramie to weave cloth, and jute to make bags.

Of course, there is also a kind called kapok, which can be used as a filling for winter clothes and quilts, such as the current cotton, which is very poorly warm. ”

First of all, the chief will introduce the materials used to make clothes and the history of the development of fabrics.

Everyone looked silent, we all understand what you said, and then what?

"You think, what else? There is also the nature of technology, the first cotton is smashed with a hammer, and the cotton seeds are pulled by hand.

Now with the cotton tie machine, the cotton is even more so, the first spinning thread was one, and now it spins three at a time.

The feeling of weaving is slow, and I can't keep up with the speed of spinning, because we have to do it all at once.

Ladies and gentlemen, show you what you are really capable of, please! ”

The chief first said to the rich households, and then stretched out his hand to a group of weaver girls.

So the speed of the weaver girls, who had been working slowly before, suddenly increased, and their skillful appearance made people can't help but applaud secretly.

Especially the merchant who sells cloth, thinking that the people under his command can do this, how much money does he have to make?

"Reward!" A quarter of an hour passed, Zhu Biao spoke, and the weaver girls stopped their movements and saluted neatly: "Your Royal Highness Prince Xie!" ”

Someone brought the money, a few catties per person, no, on the run, one person consistently, one hundred, Hongwu Tongbao as a big copper coin of ten coins.

"You see, the Weaver Girls are skilled and extraordinary, so can it be faster? Let's tell you, yes! Check it out! ”

At this time, the lieutenant stood up again, and with his words, the obscuring curtain was removed, revealing the contents inside.

The big waterwheel is a waterwheel, and it still stays in the water, but it gets stuck and doesn't spin.

There are also three things with shelves, one of which has a shed.

The chief came to a piece of equipment: "Look at this, it's called a foot-operated knotted linkage cotton tie machine, please ask this weaver girl to operate it." ”

A weaver girl went to the side of the cotton tie machine and put a large pile of cotton with cotton seeds next to it, she took a hook, hooked a large ball, threw it into the feed hopper above, and stepped on it.

The rollers of the machine turned rapidly, and the cotton came out at one end, and the cotton seeds fell in one place, and when she saw that a large ball of cotton was about to be gone, she hooked it again and went up again.

"Let her do it first, let's look at a shed, for playing cotton, this weaver girl, please!" The chief is looking for a weaver girl again.

The Weaver Girl came over with the cotton that had gone from that side, loaded it into the machine, put on a mask, and stepped on it.

With her movements, the cotton watched as the clumps grew bigger and came out, which was the bounce.

"Come with me, the third is the spinning machine, and the spindles of our three-spindle pedal spinning wheel are placed horizontally, and the feet are rolled on it, and three spindles are produced at a time.

Now this ingot is not made so much, and it is hand-cranked, only twenty ingots, placed vertically. Come on, this weaver girl. ”

With the words of the chief, the third weaver girl stood up, first sorted out the elastic cotton, and then connected the spindles.

After that, it's simple, shake while watching, twenty ingots rotate at the same time, and twenty threads are pulled out.

Rich Households: "......"

They felt the power of technology, and they found that the situation was not right from the cotton tie, how could they play the cotton so fast?

Now what's this? Twenty spindles at the same time.

The previous pedal is actually a pedal, a horizontal stick, stepping on it with bare feet, and then moving the feet back and forth, which drives the stick to rotate.

Like a rolling pin, the other end of the stick has something connected that drives the other parts to turn.

The pedal at this moment is a real pedal, pedaling action, and the transmission position is different.

The hand-cranked spinning machine can allow people to adjust the position back and forth to connect the broken wire, and the person is standing.

Well, everyone looked at the thing next to the waterwheel, according to the steps, this should be weaving?

Why is it placed next to the waterwheel? Don't even think about it! Hydro-powered!

"The last one, weave the cloth, connect to the waterwheel, send off the card, and wiring it." The lieutenant commander ordered.

The line doesn't have to wait for the third line of defense to be provided, so many weavers have been weaving a lot before.

The waterwheel spun, and after a succession, I saw the loom clatter, and the speed at which the eye could see the cloth being woven.

"Partnership, I want partnership, I want to plant cotton, I don't plant wheat anymore, I planed the wheat and planted cotton......"

Some people couldn't control it and shouted loudly, to make money, this speed, the key is to save labor costs.

"Then you want to die." Zhu Fan looked over and said something very true.

Do you still dare to change the wheat field to the cotton field? After the wheat is planted, you have to plant soybeans, and the grain fields will plant cotton for you?

"Your Highness forgives your sins, the grass people are wrong." This one quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up, after all, you can't really use the land where you grow grain to grow cotton, and this hydraulic one also has a jacquard machine.

Moreover, Xiaqiu Village has designed a layout with many patterns, and when the time comes, the machine can be adjusted to weave it.

Now we need cotton, and the land where we grow grain is not good, we can plant it under the forest, and there is always a suitable forest to plant.

Once successful, we will turn the cotton and hemp fields on the flat land into grain fields and plant them in the woods. ”

Zhu Fan waved his hand, asked the other party to stand up, and said that the planting economy under the forest was economic.

The people can't go hungry, and cotton can be eaten as food?

"His Royal Highness King Qin, I am willing to rent a forest, last night Governor Yu said about renting a forest and barren mountains, I am willing.

I found someone to plant trees, get water, and plant cotton, and if there were no good trees in the barren mountains, I would just plant cotton instead of trees.

I'm going to dig wells in the mountains, or I'm going to bring water uphill, I'm going to grow cotton, I'm going to rent land.

In the winter, I asked someone to clear the land, transport it, and plant it in the spring of next year. ”

The shopkeeper Tao expressed his support to Zhu Fan and supported this common fortune.

"I am also willing, I will also rent, give me a bad forest, I will hire someone to cut and sell firewood, and then plant cotton." Another shouted along.

"Everyone, listen to me." The lieutenant stepped forward again.

Everyone was quiet, waiting for him to speak, and today I saw the truth that some businessmen just said that Xiaqiu Village is the most powerful.

"That leased land is leased land, and it is leased from Henan Province. Weaving is weaving, which comes separately.

We don't care what you rent land to plant, if you want to weave cloth with us, we have to negotiate separately.

I don't tell you what I made in Xiaqiu Village, isn't it good for me to make money in Xiaqiu Village?

It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin who reasoned with the village, laid out the facts, and explained the reasons, and Xiaqiu Village agreed. ”

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Li Chang took it and let you talk like that before.

Give the prince and the king of Qin a few days of grain and grass, and then give 50,000 yuan, when the prince and the king of Qin ask for food?

The crown prince and the king of Qin are really short of money, and they can't be on your heads, and we have a way to make money in Xiaqiu Village.
