Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. The cost was reduced by more than ten times. Isn't this the same as smelting fine steel?
Okay, okay, what I want is this kind of treasure!
With this thought in his mind, Emperor Chongzhen quickly said to Liu Weichao: "Then will you send these materials?"
In the original history, around the mid-18th century, a British watchmaker, John Kay, accidentally invented the flying shuttle. This flying shuttle is simple to say, it is a small wheel installed in a chute.
The shuttle and the chute are equipped with springs at both ends so that the shuttle can travel back and forth extremely quickly.
After using this shuttle, the weaving surface can be greatly widened. In the past, two people had to cooperate with ordinary shuttles. Now with the shuttle, one person can complete the weaving work, and can weave wider than before.
of cloth.
Therefore, the invention of the flying shuttle made weaving faster, which greatly improved weaving efficiency.
If we follow historical development, the emergence of the flying shuttle has greatly improved the working efficiency from cotton yarn to cotton cloth, causing the working efficiency from cotton to cotton yarn to become a bottleneck. It took more than thirty years for the textile industry to
The worker Hargreaves invented the "Spinning Jenny", which solved the problem of working efficiency from cotton to cotton yarn.
According to the official statement, it was the emergence of these two tools that kicked off the Industrial Revolution, not the steam engine.
Because these two tools can free up a large amount of labor and can also increase product output a lot.
At this time, with the help of Liu Weichao, Emperor Chongzhen did not have to wait for the invention of these two tools, but could directly possess them. It is foreseeable how much help Ming Dynasty would have in the textile industry.
The bottleneck of Ming Dynasty's textile industry will be cotton cultivation.
Among the necessary needs for human beings, clothing, food, and transportation, with the help of Liu Weichao, have begun to have an impact.
Clothing, of course, is the textile revolution.
Food refers to the vigorous promotion of sweet potato crops that were started before. They are grown outside the farmland and will be a strong supplement to the staple food of the Ming Dynasty. As for potatoes, because there are too few seeds, they cannot be fully promoted yet and cannot be compared with sweet potatoes, which have already been used as food.
In the south, crops began to be commonly grown.
Okay, of course it goes without saying that the steam engine has been invented, but now there is a need to apply the steam engine to transportation. Moreover, the Railway Department has been established, and railways have been practiced in mining areas. I believe that it will not be long before the first railway of the Ming Dynasty is about to come out.
As for the last item, housing, as long as the economic conditions improve, this is not really a problem.
Ancient houses were not high-rise buildings. It was actually easy and low-cost to build a mud-tile house. Of course, if it was a wooden house, it would be more expensive.
Liu Weichao hasn't given Emperor Chongzhen the method of making cement yet. It's not that he won't give it, but that Emperor Chongzhen is too busy. Only after Emperor Chongzhen is busy with several other things and makes progress, will he find a suitable opportunity to tell him.
.
At this time, upon hearing Emperor Chongzhen's request, Liu Weichao immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, now that I have money, the information I will give you will be very detailed. Whether it is a flying shuttle or a spinning Jenny, I will give you the detailed structure."
Break it down and send you step-by-step information!”
Just like all kinds of lathes, if he has money, he can have someone build one on the spot and film every step on video. There is no problem. He doesn't even need to do it himself. As long as he has money and a demand, he can
Naturally, someone will help him handle this matter. If he needs a video, he will have a video, and if he needs a drawing, he will have a drawing!
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said: "I won't hide it from you. I was so excited when I heard about such a good thing. I can't wait to have it right away!"
Liu Weichao also laughed after hearing this. He understood this feeling.
"That's right!" Emperor Chongzhen thought that Liu Weichao had always said that he was rich, and that the money had indeed brought benefits to him, so he asked Liu Weichao, "Is there anything you need me to do?
"
"Not yet!" After hearing this, Liu Weichao gratefully said to Emperor Chongzhen, "The garment factory in my hometown has been set up. It has ten employees. In addition, I have also hired five employees here. Now the company's size has increased
My family has nearly 20 people. I plan to officially set up a flagship store in the next step. It should make more money and be easier!"
At this point, he smiled and said: "The videos of Tian Guifei and Chen Yuanyuan have more and more fans now! Well, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, can you make a video to introduce how you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?
?”
After finishing speaking, Liu Weichao thought that it would take Emperor Chongzhen a lot of time to make such a video, and it could only be shot by Emperor Chongzhen's mobile phone.
However, Emperor Chongzhen is the king of a country. He is very busy now and may not be able to spare time.
Thinking like this, he quickly said: "Forget it, forget it, this takes too much of your time, so forget it!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he quickly said: "No, no, as long as I can help you, what's the point of spending some time? Just wait, I will send it to you in a few days!"
Liu Weichao's affairs are his Emperor Chongzhen's affairs; Liu Weichao's ability to make money means that Emperor Chongzhen's can make money, and by the way, he can also strengthen the country!
Emperor Chongzhen thought very clearly about this!
Upon hearing this, Liu Weichao was a little embarrassed. He felt that Emperor Chongzhen really paid attention to his needs. So, he took the initiative and said: "Okay, I'll hang up now, and I'll give you the shuttle and jenny later."
Send the yarn machine information!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was also happy. He quickly hung up the video call, and then thought: If he takes out this shuttle, should he name it Chongzhen Shuttle? And the spinning machine, what is a Jenny?
It sounds so ugly, why not change its name to Chongzhen Spinning Machine?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. If spinning and other tasks were all done by women, it would be a bit inappropriate to use one's own title to do it. Why not give it to Tian Guifei? By the way, she can help Liu Weichao!
Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel happy. Seeing that it was getting late, he went to the queen's place as planned.
He kept the Mid-Autumn Festival in mind. Thinking that Concubine Tian's affairs were mainly about music and the like, he could also let the Queen handle this matter.
No, after Emperor Chongzhen explained it, Empress Zhou didn't even think about it, and immediately responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will handle this kind of matter. When everything is arranged, Your Majesty will come back to shoot!"
Originally, the queen was in charge of the harem, including things like celebrating festivals, which was naturally her responsibility, and it was considered her duty.
Not to mention, Queen Zhou knew very well that if she could help Liu Weichao, she could help her husband and her son.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen reviewed the memorial for a while before going to bed, and then went to bed. Empress Zhou, on the other hand, took her confidants and maids to copy the contents of the mobile phone.
But this time, Queen Zhou was attentive. Suddenly, her cell phone rang, and she saw Liu Weichao had sent a message.
Nowadays, she has read a lot and is familiar with simplified Chinese characters. Just by looking at it, she saw that Liu Weichao sent two pieces of information. The first one was information on Jenny Spinning Machine, and the second one she had not read yet.
Qing Emperor Chongzhen had already turned to look at her.
So, she quickly handed the mobile phone to Emperor Chongzhen and said at the same time: "There is another information coming!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "So fast, haha, good!"
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was so happy, Empress Zhou leaned over and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, what is this for? Why does it look like it has something to do with spinning?"
Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he heard this. He immediately read the message sent by Liu Weichao and explained to Queen Zhou: "It is related to spinning. These two tools can greatly improve the efficiency of spinning. From cotton to cotton cloth
There will be huge changes in the process, which is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty!"
Queen Zhou couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that she was so powerful. However, her focus was somewhat different from that of men, so she asked curiously: "Jenny Spinning Machine, why does this name sound like it belongs to a Western Yi woman?"
name?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he replied without thinking: "It's the name of a Xiyi woman, but it doesn't suit our Ming Dynasty. I'm going to change it, so I'll call it..."
When he said this, he suddenly came to his senses and said in front of Queen Zhou that he would change the name to Concubine Tian Guifei to commemorate her. This would probably overturn the jealous bottle.
Then he remembered that Queen Zhou used to take the maids to weave and do needlework for him in the palace.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately changed his mind and said: "...What do you think of Zhou Hou's spinning machine?"
"Is it true?" When Empress Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but be very happy and quickly asked Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen felt the queen's surprise and felt happy in his heart, so he nodded.
Queen Zhou received a positive answer again, and she felt very happy, as if she was several years younger.
But it didn't last long. She suddenly calmed down a little and said to Emperor Chongzhen who was reading the information: "Let's forget it!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised. He looked up at her and asked, "What's the matter? You don't like it?"
Just now he clearly felt that Queen Zhou was very happy, so why did she want to stop her in the blink of an eye?
I saw Empress Zhou saying to him seriously: "Your Majesty, I think she should be called Kunxing Spinning Machine. It's time for her to reach the age of marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be stunned.
Thinking about it, it seems that my eldest daughter has indeed reached the age. If she doesn't consider it this year, she will at least consider it next year.
If you give the credit for the spinning machine to your daughter,
