In the manor in the western suburbs of Tokyo, a complex machine was running rapidly, and the cotton thread was pulled out of the lint and finally turned into a roll of thick thread cone. Li Zhang was smiling while watching it, and praised Zhang Lang next to him: "It's not bad, I didn't expect that you made several machines in such a short time!"

"Most of these are the contributions of the craftsmen, and the officials really didn't do much!" Zhang Lang said modestly at this time. Last time, Li Zhang asked him to take a few craftsmen to make a ginning mill and a textile machine, but now it has finally been made, and the cotton has also begun to be harvested, so that they can actually operate. Today, I would like to invite Li Zhang to see the results with my own eyes.

"Don't be humble. I heard those old craftsmen say that you have eaten and slept with them during this period. You have also made a lot of effort. You can make a lot of contributions to making these machines in such a short time!" Li Zhang patted Zhang Lang's shoulder at this time.

Hearing Li Zhang's praise, Zhang Lang also showed an excited expression, but Li Zhang smiled calmly, and then looked at the machines in front of him again. In addition to the running spinning machine in front of him, there were also ginning mills and weaving machines next to them. The ginning mills were also in operation. The peasant woman in the manor poured the dried cotton into the ginning mill. As the machine operated, she took out the cotton seeds inside. After processing, the lint was sent to the spinning machine to spin into cotton thread, and finally sent to the loom to weave it into cotton cloth.

The above are the three main steps of turning cotton into cotton cloth. Of course, there are some details that need to be improved, such as the lint needs to be wet during spinning, the loom is not very smooth, etc. These are all small problems and can be improved bit by bit. Li Zhang also instructed the women who operate the machine to let them weave some sample cloth as soon as possible, and he would take it back for Liu E to show it.

These machines were found by Li Zhang from the computer information. The structure is very complex, but the efficiency is extremely high. For example, the spinning machine, the Song Dynasty also had spinning machines, but they could only spin one yarn at a time. However, Li Zhang's spinning machine can spin dozens or hundreds of cotton threads at a time. If the woman who was not very skilled in operating the machine was not very skilled, she would probably have higher efficiency.

However, because the time is too short, Li Zhang's idea of ​​using hydraulic power to drive the machine has not yet been realized. After all, the water truck is too big and cannot be built in one or two days. Moreover, the river on the manor is relatively smooth and cannot carry large water trucks. Therefore, these machines are driven by human or animal power, and it is not too late to change to hydraulic power when you have time in the future.

Weaving is a meticulous job. It will definitely take a lot of time and energy to weave cloth with thin threads. Of course, the most important thing is that the woman who operates the loom. At the beginning, there were many problems and the weaving cloth was also crooked, so Li Zhang asked them to practice more. Anyway, he also planned to stay in the manor for two more days before going back.

After dinner, Li Zhang returned to the room alone. Although he brought a lot of guards when he came this time, he did not bring wild dogs and others, and no one was taking care of him. So he went back to the room and found a book from the bookshelf and flipped it out casually.

"It is impossible for you to use yourself as bait to lead that person out!" But at this moment, someone suddenly heard the mouth of the beam of the room. Li Zhang didn't have to look up and knew that it was a wild dog. On the surface, he came alone, but in fact, the wild dog also followed him quietly. These were all traps set by Li Zhang.

"How can I know if I don't try it? Now that the ghost beggar has been wiped out, there are probably only thirteen people left in his hands. But according to my guess, no matter how many sons there are, there shouldn't be a few left, so if he wants to take revenge on me, he may come in person." Li Zhang smiled calmly. He came to the manor to see cotton, but in fact, it was to attract that person.

"If he is really the Shui Yuanzi you mentioned, then this person has not appeared in front of others for more than ten years in order to hide his identity. How could such scheming and patience be fooled by your inferiority? "The wild dog said mercilessly again. He disagrees with Li Zhang's risk of using his body as bait, because it puts Li Zhang himself in danger.

Li Zhang refuted silently when he heard the wild dog's words. In fact, he also knew that his method of using himself as bait was indeed a bit inferior. After all, he was only kidnapped by Thirteen before, but not long after that, he actually left the city with only some guards. As long as that person was not stupid, he could see that there was something wrong with it.

"But there is no other way except this method. After all, we can't always be worried." Li Zhang finally said helplessly. In order to prevent that person's revenge, although Li Zhang's family has strengthened the guards, it is impossible for his family to go out. For example, Huozi and others have their own things to do, but every time they go out, Li Zhang will be anxious, afraid that they will have any accidents.

Wild Dog also knew Li Zhang's difficulties and remained silent when he heard this. After a while, he slowly spoke: "If you really want to solve this problem completely, there is not no way."

"What's the solution?" Li Zhang couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this, because he knew that wild dogs wouldn't speak normally, and since they would definitely be sure to speak.

"I... I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you after I've thought about it!" But to Li Zhang's surprise, the wild dog hesitated for a while and did not continue to say anything. After saying that, he turned his head over and stopped looking at Li Zhang, which made Li Zhang frown. The wild dog's behavior was very abnormal. It seemed that he must have hidden something from him.

"Wild Dog..."

Li Zhang was about to ask, but the wild dog suddenly jumped off the beam and said, "It's late, I'll go outside to patrol, I'm not at ease with the guards!"

The wild dog left here without looking back after saying that, and Li Zhang couldn't help but frown. Obviously, the wild dog must have something to hide from him, and it may be related to that person. However, he has always trusted himself the most. Since he met, there was almost never anything to hide from him. Except for one thing, that is, it is related to his life experience, so Li Zhang can also be sure that the abnormality of the wild dog should be related to that person.
