Become a feudal king from today

"It's very good. It's really impressive. Reading" Zhao Xu came to a spinning machine.

Unlike the small spinning machines used by farmers, this spinning machine is so large that it looks like a bed.

And the structure is no longer a traditional wooden structure, but a steel structure.

The end of the bed and the middle frame spindle bar are filled with vertical spindles.

There is a metal wheel at the front end of the spinning machine, and an iron rod passes through the middle of the wheel to drive the wheel to rotate continuously.

Such an iron rod passed through thirty spinning machines from south to north.

When the wheel rotates, it drives the vertical spindle to rotate through the rope sleeve.

The rotating spindle will pull the cotton under the front pressure plate into individual cotton yarns.

"Now that the spinning machine has been built, the next step is to build the loom. In this way, Yanzhou will have its own industrial textiles." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

The structure of the spinning machine is very simple compared to the steam engine.

Dasong itself has a spinning machine, but the spindle of this spinning machine is placed horizontally.

As long as the spindle is placed upright, it is the original spinning jenny.

In fact, the inventor of the spinning jenny was kicking the spinning machine and realized that in the spinning machine, the spindle was placed vertically, but there was more.

Therefore, the Dasong carpenter can imitate it as long as he observes it for a while.

Wang Chong only considered that the wooden spinning machine would fall apart under the powerful power of the steam engine, so he built the easily damaged wooden structure into a steel structure, which caused the manufacturing speed to be slower.

But even so, a small spinning workshop was born.

The spinning efficiency of each spinning machine here is eighty times that of ordinary spinning machines.

Most importantly, the metal spinning machine can spin around the clock.

Its efficiency is not just eighty times that of a manual spinning machine.

According to his estimate, one hundred and sixty times is the minimum.

There are sixty spinning machines in this workshop, which is equivalent to the amount of cotton yarn spun by nearly ten thousand people every day.

Moreover, because the steam engine rotates at a uniform speed, the cotton yarn spun is of similar thickness and has a tight structure, making it a high-quality cotton yarn.

It's just that cotton yarn is made and ultimately used to weave cloth.

The emergence of thousand-machine spinning machines will reduce the cost of cotton yarn.

Once the loom is developed, the price of cloth will come down.

In this way, Yanzhou will be able to produce high-quality and low-priced cloth in the future, sweeping the cloth market in Dasong and surrounding areas.

"Back to Your Highness, we are already developing it. In less than half a month, the first steam loom will be put into production. In one month, I will be able to give Your Highness another weaving workshop." Wang Chong was full of confidence.

Zhao Xu nodded.

If the steam engine was a revolution in power, the thousand-machine spinning machine was a revolution in the textile industry.

When these two things were put together, an intensive industrial workshop was officially born in Yanzhou.

In the future, spinning and weaving workshops can provide formal jobs for women in Yanzhou.

The traditional subsistence small farmer economy will gradually collapse in the wave of industry.

And the cheap and high-quality cloth they produce will sweep through the markets of Dasong and even neighboring countries, bringing huge profits to Yanzhou.

To put it simply, wine, perfume, soap, etc. are not considered industrial products.

As the goods sold by King Yan, cotton yarn and cloth were the first batch of industrial products.

"That's very good." Zhao Xu walked around the spinning workshop and came to the door of the workshop with Wang Chong.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Are the other machines that I want also in progress?"

The design drawings he gave Wang Chong this time were not for Wang Chong to work on alone.

At that time, he asked Wang Chong to divide his students into small teams.

Each team is responsible for the development of different machinery.

In this way, all kinds of machinery supporting the steam engine can spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain, allowing all walks of life in Yanzhou to have their own steam-powered machinery as soon as possible.

"Back to Your Highness, everything is going on as usual." Wang Chong said with emotion, "As the machinery becomes more and more complex, I can no longer develop a machine independently. As Your Highness said, we need to divide labor and cooperate."

Although he was unwilling to admit defeat, he had to bow his head when he saw the complex machinery on the drawings.

After touching his head, he continued: "A team has made a steam log saw, and I am about to tell His Highness whether I want to send it to the Ship Department."

"Of course I have to give it away." Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, feeling happy in his heart.

The steam wood saw Wang Chong mentioned is not used to cut down trees, but to cut wood.

This is a saw-toothed wheel. The steam engine drives the wheel to cut wood.

Its efficiency is much better than that of a carpenter pulling a wood saw to cut wood.

Seeing that Zhao Xu was very happy, Wang Chong continued, "There is also the refiner that His Highness asked for. With this thing, it will be much easier to make pulp in the paper mill. From now on, our paper in Yanzhou will be cheaper."

Zhao Xu became more and more satisfied. Just like in contemporary history, after the emergence of the steam engine, various types of machinery quickly appeared.

Now Yanzhou is developing steam machinery at a faster speed.

After talking excitedly for a while, Zhao Xu asked Wang Chong to step up research and development, and then returned to the palace.

Although the main contradiction he faces at the moment is Beidi and Dasong.

But the appearance of Beidi missionary Ivan made him notice the Russians.

The cooperation between the Han family and Wufeng Island attracted Japanese people.

Obviously, the foreign troubles faced by Dasong are not just as simple as Beidi.

In the future, he may even come into contact with more Western countries.

To fight these enemies, Yanzhou's productivity must keep up.

Only in this way can the soldiers be provided with sufficient ammunition, weapons, and supplies.

…

Yanguan.

When Zhao Xu was happy about the good start of the textile industry.

Chang Wei has entered the territory of Liaojun.

Another day later, he arrived in Leting County and met Zhou Yi who was waiting at the dock.

"General Chang, the fleet and merchant ships are all ready and ready to go at any time." Zhou Yi was a little excited.

Ningjindusi, the place where he was born, is finally returning to the embrace of Dasong.

Chang Wei nodded and said: "Now is not the time. The Beidi people are attacking Yanguan fiercely. We have to wait until they suffer heavy casualties and are exhausted to launch an attack on Ningcheng."

Ningcheng is only sixty miles away from the sea.

After landing at the seaside, it only takes them half a day to reach Ningcheng.

The most important thing is that the Beidi army from Ningcheng came out in full force, completely unaware that the plague was a hoax and without any precautions.

Everyone nodded, although they were a little impatient.

But they must hold back until the best time comes.

Chang Wei laughed loudly. In this battle of Ningjin, everyone in the royal family's army was full of fighting spirit.

Rather than taking the initiative, attack the Black Iron King's tent.

This time King Yan ordered to take back Ningjin Dusi, which was truly spectacular.

Thinking of this, he felt that the burden on him was getting heavier. There must be no mistakes in this battle.
