Chapter 79: Predecessors Plant Trees

"We don't understand," Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, shook his head, and continued,

"We know that Huang Daopo, weaving things well, a while ago, there was a textile boom in Jiangnan,

But we can understand Huang Daopo's thing, at least, the things that come out are indeed different.

But at this point, we can't see it. ”

Not only Lao Zhu, but also Ma Shi who was sitting in front of the textile machine, Zhu Quan who was lying on the textile machine, and even Yang Rong, an official of the Ministry of Industry who turned the textile machine upside down with his own hands, basically did not understand.

Mainly, the design of this thing is too simple, so simple that anyone who knows a little carpentry can make it.

It's such a simple thing, but it has produced benefits that Zhu Yuanzhang can't even think of.

Zhu Xiongying smiled secretly beside him, usually I want to see my grandfather look so dazed, it is basically impossible, Xiao Xiaozhu is not in a hurry to explain, but is on the side, ready to continue to appreciate grandpa's expression for a while,

Grandpa's mouth of Huang Daopo, is a female weaver in the Yuan Dynasty, it is rumored that she learned the textile technology passed down from generation to generation in Yashan around Yashan, Huang Daopo popularized this textile technology to the entire Jiangnan region, set off a cotton revolution,

But it is a pity that even if the textile technology has changed, it is all done by small households, and there is no large-scale factory production, and the scale has always been a small family workshop.

The reform of Huang Daopo's textile technology is an important node in the Yuan Dynasty and an important node of the Chinese nation.

For example, the embryonic primitive accumulation of capitalism discussed in textbooks can actually start as early as the Yuan Dynasty.

"The eldest grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang cast a plea gaze to his eldest grandson,

"Alas, grandpa~"

"Big grandson, can you tell us what this thing is all about? This thing looks so simple, we don't dare to use it! ”

Ma Shi also nodded in agreement beside him, with a faint fear on his face,

In the past, this textile machine completely subverted Ma's three views,

Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, you are the emperor and queen, but their thinking is still stuck in the thinking of a small peasant family with men and women weaving.

What are the most striking characteristics of smallholder farming households?

How much you give, how much you get.

If you want to say that this textile machine is twice or triple the output, then Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma must be ecstatic.

But this eight-fold and nine-fold output really frightened the second elder, and he thought that this was some kind of evil and prostitution technique.

Zhu Xiongying walked to the textile machine, and then took a closer look, his textile machine was from a small long worker, but every detail in it was basically impeccable.

Don't think that an ordinary small long-term worker can't do this, but anyone who has seen the fabrics sold overseas in ancient times will be shocked, it is unimaginable that such exquisite fabrics are made by hand,

Compared with the complex and exquisite fabrics, under the wonderful hands of the sons and daughters of China, this textile machine is really nothing.

"Grandpa, grandma, look."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Shi hurriedly followed the hand of the eldest grandson, not only the two elders, but also Zhu Quan and Yang Rong followed with curiosity.

"A normal loom is a shuttle that goes in horizontally, right? What if you turn this loom upside down? ”

Yang Ronggang wanted to follow His Majesty's words, tilted his head to look over, only to hear a bang,

His Majesty actually picked up the loom, and in order to let everyone see it really, he came directly sideways,

Zhu Xiongying: Upside Down (Physics)

Yang Rong opens his mouth wide! Eyes full of horror! Where had he ever seen such a stance?!

This loom used four palace guards, and the one who was panting could be regarded as being carried from the Ministry of Industry to the palace.

But, cocoa, cocoa, but Your Majesty will be hugged by himself?!

And looking at His Majesty's expression, his face is not red or panting, it is no different from picking up a small flower pot!

What kind of divine power is this?!

Yang Rong suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned his head to look at the Emperor and the Empress Taishang,

I saw these two people, looking at the loom that His Majesty picked up wholeheartedly, and did not pay attention to one question, why could His Majesty hold such a heavy loom?

Yang Rong looked at His Highness Seventeen again, and saw that His Highness Seventeen was the same,

As if in their eyes, Your Majesty is all a routine operation,

Yang Rong is completely stupid, this scene is too weird, did I find out that something was wrong?

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that something was wrong with Yang Rong, frowned and asked,

"This, Your Majesty, that..." Yang Rong didn't know what to say for a while,

"What, this, that? Hurry up and see, hurry up and learn, your Ministry of Industry hasn't figured it out, so why don't you hurry up?! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Yang Rong, and quickly looked back at his eldest grandson, for fear of missing some important knowledge.

Yang Rong: "....."

"Grandpa, grandma, seventeen uncles, you see, after this loom crosses, what's the difference?"

Ma said, "Xiongying, after coming over, it seems to be no different from ordinary looms, like eight or nine looms turned upside down together." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and echoed, "That's what we mean." ”

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Yes, it's actually nothing complicated, it's just that the ordinary loom is turned upside down." ”

Zhu Xiongying gently put the dead loom back on the ground, and patted the dust on his hands casually,

"Big nephew, it's that simple?" Zhu Quan's face was full of disbelief,

"It's as simple as that."

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.

"Uncle Seventeen, why can't it be so simple?"

Zhu Quan was asked, and replied after a while, "Big nephew, but I, I always think that such a good thing is so simple.... Isn't that a little unreasonable? ”

"What's unreasonable about this, it often affects the changes of the times, and it's not so complicated, it's just a momentary spark of thinking,

Let's just say that the iron plough and ox ploughing at the beginning, now it seems, is there anything complicated? But at that time, it was a cross-era discovery,

Quyuan plow, Daida method, keel overturn... The inventions of these nodes of the times, in our opinion, can be made by any craftsman.

But the hardest part is how to go from zero to one. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang and the others heard this, their eyes were contemplative,

Zhu Xiongying smiled and continued, "Uncle Seventeen, you think that this thing is so simple, but the return is so big, it is really unreasonable.

However, in my opinion, we have given enough,

This loom is basically the same as the loom used in the Han Dynasty, that is to say, our textile tools have been stopped for hundreds of years.

With hundreds of years of shutdown in exchange for such an efficient textile machine, do you think we pay a small price? ”

Zhu Quan's eyes flashed, he shook his head, looked at his eldest nephew Zhengse and said,

"It's not small."
