"This spinning speed is so fast!" Seeing the wool that appeared on Jenny's loom machine, Xu Qizhi was very surprised and said, "I just don't know who this Jenny is?" Xu Qizhi said this very casually.

Xu Qizhi's words directly attracted the attention of several other people, and there was surprise in their eyes, but there was a trace of resentment and horror in the eyes of his father Xu Gaofeng, and the meaning was obvious: "This Jenny is obviously a woman's name, obviously a woman who can be named by her grandfather, she has a very high status in her grandfather's heart, what are you talking about!" ”

After seeing his father's gaze, Xu Qizhi also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and suddenly looked at his grandfather with some apprehension.

As for Lu Chen, he didn't feel anything, after all, this "Jenny" really had nothing to do with him.

To say that the appearance of this Jenny spinning machine is really an accident, after all, the appearance of this thing is a spinning machine that was "kicked out", according to the current age, the time when this Jenny spinning machine appeared is 1764, more than a thousand years after the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

In 1764, James Hargreaves, a weaver in Lancashire, England, came home that night and opened the door and accidentally kicked over the spinning machine that his wife was using.

But when he bent down, he was suddenly stunned, for he saw that the spinning machine that had been kicked down was still spinning, but the spindle that had been horizontal had become upright. He suddenly thought: If several spindles were arranged vertically and driven by a spinning wheel, wouldn't it be possible to spin more yarn at once?

Hargreaves was so excited that he immediately tried to do it, and the next day he built a new spinning machine that used one spinning wheel to drive eight vertical spindles, and was eight times more efficient at once. Naturally, the new spinning machine needed a name, so James Hargreaves named it after his daughter "Jenny".

However, after this guy built this Jenny spinning machine, life did not get better immediately, and even almost became the "enemy of the whole people", after all, the spinning machine he built greatly improved the efficiency, and the couple was slightly richer with the spinning machine, but at that time, during the British Industrial Revolution, a large number of workers were laid off and unemployed, and those unemployed workers naturally spread their grievances on the couple, and directly rushed into the home of the James couple, not only destroyed the Jenny spinning machine, but even burned their house, and drove them out of Lankaishire.

However, the couple was also tough, and they were not frightened by this incident, and even continued to research and transform, and finally not only applied for a patent, but also owned their own cotton mill.

Hearing Xu Qizhi's casual question, Lu Chen was not angry, but stopped spinning, stood up and looked at Xu Qizhi with a smile: "This Jenny is indeed a woman's name, it is a girl that my father met when he wandered overseas with his master, at that time, my father was young, naturally I was a fair lady, a gentleman's age, but unfortunately, my father was timid at that time, and he knew the girl's name!" Lu Chen laughed first as he said that, and the others saw that Lu Chen was not angry, and even said such a thing, and even thought of Lu Chen's youthful and timid appearance at that time, and also laughed with Lu Chen.

"That's why my father gave this textile machine such a name!" Lu Chen laughed, but Lu Chen muttered to himself in his heart: "If I tell you that this thing will only appear in more than a thousand years, it won't scare you to death?" ”

"Grandpa is really a man of temperament!" Xu Gaofeng hurriedly slapped a sycophant.

"Lao Xu, I didn't expect you, a person who is engaged in technology, to learn this set!" Hearing Xu Gaofeng's sycophancy, Lu Chen directly teased Xu Gaofeng, Xu Gaofeng smiled directly, "Seriously, did your father and son understand the operation just now?" Lu Chen put away his smile and looked at the father and son very seriously, after all, Lu Chen couldn't teach those "women" in Zhuangzi by hand, and the best candidate was naturally Xu Gaofeng's mother-in-law.

"I kind of see it!" Xu Gaofeng recalled Lu Chen's operation just now, and then said.

"Come, you operate it, my father will take a look!" Lu Chen motioned to Xu Gaofeng to operate the textile machine.

Lu Chen is not only for himself to have a woolen sweater to wear, if he expands his territory in the future, not only the white mountains and black waters, but also the Principality of Satsuma, which appeared further north by the West Slavs, is Lu Chen's goal.

Lu Chen had also thought about cotton clothes and down jackets, but now the conditions are not up to them, but even if they do, down jackets with woolen sweaters are also standard in cold areas.

Xu Gaofeng directly operated the textile machine in the way of Lu Chen in his memory, and seeing that Xu Gaofeng was indeed preliminarily mastered, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"Grandpa, are you going to recruit another batch of craftsmen?" Seeing that Lu Chen attached so much importance to this textile machine, Du Chengze on the side asked in a low voice, Du Chengze was also found by Liu Jing, after all, many things in the workshop area still need this person to arrange.

"No, you don't! Those women in Zhuangzi are suitable for this job! Didn't they spin yarn in their own homes? Organize them this time and spin them with this thread! It's time to set up a weaving workshop! Lu Chen said a word, and there was another weaving workshop in the workshop area, as for Du Chengze, he naturally did whatever Lu Chen said.

"Do the women have to be paid?" Du Chengze still asked, after all, those men in Lujiazhuang are now "working" in the workshop area, of course, those widows who have no men and the like are mainly "doing odd jobs", basically helping in the "canteen" in the workshop area and getting some odd wages.

"Here! If you work, you naturally have to pay money, two pennies a day for a man, and four pennies a day for no man! Lu Chen pondered for a while and said.

"Yes!" After Du Chengze answered, he wrote down everything Lu Chen said in his "little book".

"Yes! Lao Du, your charcoal pen is getting better and better! Seeing Du Chengze writing quickly on the small book with a "charcoal pen", Lu Chen said with a smile.

"It has to be my grandfather's invention! It's much more convenient than carrying a pen and inkstone with you! Du Chengze replied with a smile, but his words did not delay the old man from continuing to write.

"By the way, let someone inform Qian Junnan to come back with more sheep, my father doesn't like a lot of wool! I'm afraid it's not enough! Lu Chen ordered again, and Du Chengze also responded.

Lu Chen told Xu Gaofeng and his son to step up the production of textile machines, and then left the workshop area.

Lu Chen had just left the workshop area and walked back, when he saw Fang Qi rushing over at his trot.

"What's the matter? So urgent! Lu Chen looked at Fang Qi who was standing in front of him and asked.

"Grandpa, Her Royal Highness Princess Langya has come down!" Fang Qi reported to Lu Chen, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.

"it!" Lu Chen, who was originally in a good mood because of the Jenny Textile Machine, trembled directly in his heart after hearing Fang Qi's report, and his legs and stomach were a little weak, "Could it be that the East Window incident happened?" ”
