Chapter 325: Hydraulic Loom
In this way, with his "loyalty", Xin Yushu still stayed as he wished.
But after he agreed to stay, he was taken directly to the farm by Liu Bang, and he was not given the opportunity to learn more in the house at all.
When he came to the farm, Xin Yushu knew that what Ran Fang wanted was not a small sheepfold, but a big grassland.
It was the first time he had seen such a vast farm where the sheep could graze freely, and it was clear from a distance that the sheep were well cared for.
and Ran Fang's importance to sheep is also better than he thought.
This also made him determined not to live up to Ran Fang's trust, but also to let Ran Fang and them all take a look that he could indeed do better.
And all his performances were also seen by Ran Fang, and after determining his strength, Ran Fang prepared the next plan.
On this day, he asked Yi Bai of the Mo family to come over, saying that he had something to discuss.
Yi Bai, who received the news, was still a little excited in his heart, after all, it would definitely be a big deal for Ran Fang to invite him personally.
But he didn't expect that when he arrived, he found that the public weir was also there.
"See Commander."
After saluting, he got up and looked at the public loss weir, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongyi hasn't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to see you here today, what an honor." ”
Gong Weir sat there, responded with a smile, and said lightly: "Yes." ”
"If it weren't for the invitation of the adults today, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me."
Yi Bai rolled his eyes back and sat down on the chair across from him.
"Today here for adults, I don't bother to bother with you."
After speaking, he and Gong Yan's eyes looked at Ran Fang at the same time, waiting for his next command.
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Ran Fang said, "I don't know if you have seen the loom?" ”
The two of them looked at each other, and both nodded quickly.
The public weir was the first to speak: "Naturally, I have seen it." ”
"Could it be that Lord Sensei wants us to make a loom?"
Seeing Ran Fang nodding, some loss flashed in the eyes of the two at the same time.
I thought it was the same as before, and I could see something new here in Ran Fang, but I asked him to make a loom, which is not a knife to kill chickens.
Although neither of them was happy in their hearts, but Ran Fang spoke, and it was not easy for them to refuse.
Especially for the public weir that opened first, as long as he replied stubbornly, "When will the adults use it?" ”
Even if he felt that he was a bit overkill in making a loom, Yi Bai couldn't watch the public weir steal the limelight.
"My lord, I'll do it!"
"It can be done in two days."
Seeing their reluctance, but still very face-saving, Ran Fang couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, it's not for you to make an ordinary loom."
"If that's the case, I'm not looking for you."
"I'm going to open a cloth mill and make cotton clothes for the winter, so I want to make a loom that can speed up the speed in order to be able to speed up the clothes."
"It's a water-powered loom, similar to the waterwheel you made before, except this time it's a loom."
"Can you have faith?"
As soon as he heard that he was doing something novel, he was still a little disappointed, and immediately said: "Have confidence!" ”
"I didn't even think that this waterwheel could be associated with a loom."
"I'll study it when I go back, and I'll make it in the fastest time!"
Seeing that this matter was preempted by the public weir again, Yi Bai immediately followed and said: "I can do it too." ”
"Isn't it just to make a water-powered loom, if it doesn't bother me, I can do it too!"
Seeing them so positive, Ran Fang was even more relieved.
He smiled and said, "Okay, then you both do this." ”
"There are ten looms, and you will make five looms."
"When I choose the address, you can just send the finished loom over."
This answer satisfied both of them, and they didn't bother with who was valued by Ran Fang.
"Whoa!"
Yi Bai glanced at Gong Weir defiantly, as if to tell him that he would never lose to him.
But he didn't expect that Gongyian didn't look at him at all, but asked, "Adults want to make cotton clothes?" ”
"What is this cotton coat?"
Hearing his question, Yi Bai also looked at Ran Fang with some confusion, he was only interested in stealing the limelight just now, and he forgot to ask what this thing was for a while.
Ran Fang looked at their puzzled eyes, and then remembered that Daqin had no cotton clothes, and to be precise, there was no cotton.
Their way to keep out the cold in winter is to wear extra layers of clothing.
For those whose family conditions are not good, they can only rely on righteousness to keep out the cold in winter.
So it's normal that they don't know the concept of padded clothing.
"It's about adding warm things to your clothes, such as wool, goose feathers, rabbits, etc., to make your clothes warmer."
"And you can also make these things into thread, and then use the thread to weave into clothes, hats, gloves, etc., which are very comfortable and warm."
"You first make a water-powered loom, and then you make a few carding machines, and you can weave the animal's hair."
Listening to Ran Fang's explanation, they all had ideas in their hearts, and they were very concerned about this matter.
Especially the public weir, when he heard that cotton clothes could keep out the cold, the first thing he thought of was Meng Tian, who was guarding in the north.
Every winter, the Xiongnu would harass the border from time to time, so every winter was a protracted and arduous war for the Great Qin soldiers who held on to the north.
Not only because of the fierceness of the Huns, but also because of the winter that could not survive.
"My lord, if this cotton coat is finished, can I buy some first?"
Hearing this, Yi Bai's rebellious little cells began to be restless again.
He interrupted directly: "You're too anxious, aren't you?" ”
"Who is this cotton coat going to sell to, naturally the adult has the final say, you are in such a hurry to speak, isn't it embarrassing for the adult?!"
"Besides, buy some more, how many losers are there in your father?"
was so provoked by him, Gong Yiyan was not angry, but was worried that Ran Fang would think more, so he hurriedly explained: "That's not the case. ”
"I bought this cotton coat to give it to General Meng Tian."
"I knew General Meng Tian and knew that he was poor in the north, and that it would be winter in a few months, and the winter there would be extremely cold, so I thought of buying a cotton coat to send to him."
As soon as these words came out, Yi Bai immediately lowered his head in shame and apologized for what he had just said.
However, when Ran Fang heard him speak so boldly, he still had some admiration in his heart for seeing such a long term.
He smiled and said, "Not for sale!" ”
Yi Bai looked at Ran Fang in surprise, he didn't expect him to be this kind of person, and looked at him with some disappointment.
As a result, he saw Ran Fang and continued: "I'll give this cotton clothes." ”
"After it is completed, I will personally ask people to send cotton clothes to General Meng, so that our soldiers in Daqin can have warm cotton clothes to wear!"
