Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 547

[Chapter 547 Industrial Products]

“Very good, really impressive.” 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 spindles are filled with vertical spindles.

There is a metal wheel at the front 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 will drive the vertical spindle to rotate through the noose.

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

“Now that the spinning machine has been built, the loom will be built next. In this way, Yanzhou will have its own industrial textile industry.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

The structure of the spinning machine is very simple compared with 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 vertically, it is the original spinning jenny.

In fact, the inventor of the spinning jenny just kicked the spinning machine into it, realized that in the spinning machine, put the spindle upright, but placed more.

Therefore, Dasong carpenters can imitate them as long as they observe for a while.

Wang Chong only considered that the wooden spinning machine would dissipate under the powerful power of the steam engine, so he made the easily damaged wooden structure into a steel structure, resulting in a slower manufacturing speed.

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, metal spinning machines are capable of spinning 24 hours a day without stopping.

Its efficiency is not only eighty times that of the manual spinning machine.

According to his estimation, at least one hundred and sixty times.

There are 60 spinning machines in this workshop, which is equivalent to the amount of cotton yarn spun by nearly 10,000 people every day.

Moreover, because the steam engine rotates at a uniform speed, the cotton yarn spun is about the same thickness and has a compact structure, which is a high-quality cotton yarn.

It’s just cotton yarn that’s made and ultimately used for weaving.

The appearance of thousands of spinning machines will reduce the cost of cotton yarn.

Then develop the loom, and the price of cloth will come down.

In this way, Yanzhou will be able to manufacture high-quality and cheap cloth in the future, sweeping the Dasong and surrounding cloth markets.

“Returning to Your Highness, it is already under development. Within half a month, the first steam loom will be put into production, and within a month, the next official will be able to give His Highness another weaving workshop.” Wang Chong is full of confidence.

Zhao Xu nodded.

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

With these two things together, a dense industrial workshop was officially born in Yanzhou.

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

The traditional self-sufficient smallholder economy will gradually disintegrate in the wave of industry.

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

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

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

“It’s so good.” Zhao Xu walked around the spinning workshop and came to the gate of the workshop with Wang Chong.

After thinking for a while, he asked, “Are the other machines that the king wants also in progress?”

The design drawings he gave Wang Chong this time did not leave Wang Chong to work alone.

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

Each team is responsible for different mechanical research and development.

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

“Returning to Your Highness, everything is going on as usual.” Wang Chong said with emotion, “As the machinery becomes more and more complex, it is no longer possible for the lower official to independently develop a machine. As His Highness said, it is necessary to divide labor and cooperate.”

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

After rubbing his head, he continued: “There is a team that made a steam wood saw, and the officer is about to ask His Highness whether you want to send it to the ship’s department.”

“Of course.” Zhao Xu frowned upon hearing this. , I felt happy for a while.

The steam wood saw mentioned by Wang Chong is not used for felling trees, but for cutting wood.

This is a saw-toothed wheel, and the steam engine turns the wheel to cut wood.

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

Seeing that Zhao Xu was very happy, Wang Chong continued, “There is also the refiner that His Highness wants. With this thing, it will be much easier for the paper mill to pulp, and the paper in Yanzhou will be cheaper in the future.”

Zhao Xu became more and more excited. Satisfaction, just like contemporary history, after the steam engine appeared, all kinds of machinery appeared quickly.

Now Yanzhou is developing steam machinery at a faster speed.

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

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

But the appearance of Beidi missionary Ivan made him notice the Ross people.

The cooperation between the Han family and Wufeng Island has attracted people from Dongying.

Obviously, the foreign aggression that Da Song is facing is not 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 because of the good start of the textile industry.

Chang Wei has entered the boundary of Liao County.

Another day later, he arrived in Leting County, where he met Zhou Yi who was waiting for orders at the pier.

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

Ning Jindusi, the place where he was born, is now finally returning to Da Song’s embrace.

Chang Wei nodded, and he said: “Now is not the time, Beidi people are attacking Yanguan fiercely, and they will attack Ningcheng when they suffer heavy casualties and are exhausted.”

Ningcheng is only sixty miles away from the sea.

Landing at the seaside, they only need half a day to reach Ningchengxia.

The most important thing is that the Beidi army in Ningcheng came out in full force, never thinking that the plague was a hoax, and they didn’t even have a trace of defense.

Everyone nodded, although they were a little impatient.

But until the best moment comes, they must hold back.

Chang Wei laughed loudly, this time in the battle of Ning Jin, the whole army of the Wangfu was full of fighting spirit.

Instead of taking the initiative to attack, attack the Black Iron King’s Tent.

This time the king of Yan ordered the recovery of Ning Jindu Si Cai to be truly magnificent.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that the burden on him was heavy, and there must be no mistakes in this battle.
