Liu Che's edict was quickly issued to the Shaofu. .
The new Shaofu Minister Shang Rong naturally accepted the order immediately and sent him to the East and West Weaving Room.
Lubanshi from the East and West Weaving Room was immediately excited!
Reward from the princes!!!!
This is the highest reward that is enough to make people risk their lives and try their best, even if they die from exhaustion!
Not to mention, the upper limit of this reward is still unlimited!
In other words, if someone can build a machine that can spin dozens of yarns at a time, maybe ten thousand households can be made!
The Lubans were all excited and eager to devote themselves to the research immediately.
However, after the excitement, a question was placed in front of everyone: Should you do this alone? Or should you do it as a group?
If you work alone, you will be able to eat alone once you succeed.
All the credit goes to himself, and he will definitely be famous throughout the ages.
But the problem is that the efficiency will be very low and the risk will be extremely high.
After all, the power of one person can actually play a very small role in such important mechanical design, invention, and creation. Of course, if you are lucky, maybe just a kick or even an apple falling from the tree can change the situation.
world.
It's just that such luck is accidental after all.
No one can guarantee that he or she will be the lucky one.
In comparison, grouping has many obvious advantages.
First of all, by working together as a team, resources and manpower are pooled together, allowing for more additional research and discoveries.
You can even work on multiple fronts until you find a solution.
This is also the main model of Shaofu’s research work in the past few years.
The Divine Arm Bow is the product of this model.
However, the disadvantages of grouping are also obvious.
This will definitely divide the credit, just like the last time about the divine arm and bow. Originally, if it belongs to a certain person's wisdom, then this person will definitely be awarded the title of lord.
However, because it is the product of the collective efforts of the entire examination room masters.
Therefore, only the master craftsman Zhou Si, the left supervisor of the examination room, was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, and his two deputies were granted the title of lord. The other master craftsmen were only given gold and the title of "Lubanshi" based on their merit.
The Lubanshis in the East and West Weaving Rooms are now facing the same choice.
Soon, everyone made their own decisions.
Almost everyone chose to join a group.
This is undoubtedly a smart decision, because this is a competition.
Only the first one to succeed can get the reward.
Those who come late are destined to only look up to the glory of the forerunners.
Without teamwork, there is no hope of outperforming other opponents.
Therefore, all the Lubanshis in the East and West Weaving Rooms immediately connected with other Lubanshis and organized according to their own habits and personalities. Soon, the East and West Weaving Rooms organized three different spinning machine research groups.
He began to study the spinning machine day and night, hoping to be able to produce his own results before his competitors, so as to win the rewards of the princes!
Even the Mohists in Moyuan were deeply moved by this reward.
Several writers who were immersed in machinery even decided to put down their original projects and devote themselves to the research of spinning machines.
It’s not that the Mohists suddenly started to be greedy for money and fame.
Rather, this matter is particularly important to the Mohist family.
If a prince can appear in the Mohist school, it will be of great benefit to the future of the entire school.
At least, from now on, the Mo family will have someone who can speak for them in the Shuo Wang court, and have a representative in the court.
You can also use this to prove yourself to the world.
The most important thing is that the research and manufacturing of spinning machines fully comply with the Mohist three-table method.
It is based on the affairs of Ming kings in ancient and modern times, observing the facts of the people's ears and eyes, and observing the benefits of the country and the people.
For this kind of thing, the Mo family would do it even if it means selling their livers and kidneys.
Even the people were alarmed by this incident.
The rewards from the princes have caused countless families to toss and turn, and many people with lofty ideals began to wonder whether they should join it.
The local Lubanshis threw themselves into it without hesitation.
What if it succeeds?
This is a reward from the princes!
Even if you fail, it doesn't matter.
A few years ago, the imperial court promulgated the "Ping Lv" to enhance the status of craftsmen. The following year, the "Lubanshi" system was established.
The so-called Lubanshi is an honorary title similar to the doctorate system.
Of course, they are not as prestigious as doctoral officers, nor do they have any privileges.
But among the people, a Lubanshi, even if it is just a Lubanshi with two hundred stones, is a famous person in the local area, and even the officials must respect a wise person.
They were well-known local carpenters, blacksmiths and masons.
It is also the pillar of local economic development.
They produce and manufacture most of the equipment required locally.
Things like waterwheels, rakes, sickles, barns, and houses are all their works.
Today, with the rise of the handicraft industry, these Lubanshis are treated as treasures by the big businessmen.
Some high-level Lubanshis have millions of families, and they are even the giants of local handicraft workshops.
These people have money, resources, and manpower. When they see the rewards from the princes, they are naturally itchy.
What's more, this matter is not only related to the rewards from the princes.
It’s also related to the Golden Five Baht!
Cotton cloth is a new bright spot in the commodity economy of the Han Dynasty today.
Since cotton cloth appeared on the market in the sixth year of Yuan De, this new type of cloth has immediately become the favorite of the nobility and middle class due to its many advantages such as strength, warmth retention and wear resistance.
Especially quilts, in the north and Andong regions, the supply is almost in short supply.
Nowadays, a standard quilt often costs more than 10,000 yuan.
And the price of a piece of cotton-sewn daily attire is often more than a thousand dollars.
If we could break through the spinning technology of cotton, it would be the same as printing money!
No one can remain indifferent.
Therefore, even the big businessmen of the Han Dynasty waved their banknotes and participated in the competition.
These wealthy wealthy families, such as the Zhuo family and the Cheng Zheng family in Linqiong, the Shi family and the Tian family in Guanzhong, and even some of the princes and ministers, such as Liu She and others, were all eyeing them.
spinning machine technology.
Everyone knows that this is a gold mine, a brand new gold mine!
Others, however, have set their sights on cotton farming.
Since the emperor has offered such a high reward, in the future, cotton and cotton cloth are likely to replace the current mainstream ramie cultivation and burlap.
Most people don’t have the talent and resources to research high-end technologies like spinning machines.
But, there will always be a farming community, right?
Especially those nobles who own plantations in Anton have quietly decided to expand the scale of their plantations and increase the cotton planting area.
The entire month of July in Chang'an and Guanzhong was spent amidst the noise and waves of spinning machines.
Before I knew it, it was August.
A piece of intelligence arrived in Chang'an from afar and arrived in front of Liu Che's case.
There is a lot of information on intelligence, but the key points are two things.
The first Xiongnu ended their third western expedition and gained a lot. They built Shanyu City in Kangju, with the intention of moving westward.
In the second Shan Yulihu Reform, the Xiawu Movement began.
