Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled

Chapter 90 Improving Textile Technology

Jing Yi received a 20,000 taels silver share from the restaurant sent by Xiao Zhen, whose only two-month passage Jing Yi was secretly shocked, too profitable to open the restaurant. At this rate, one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver can be obtained in a year. 

  He and Xiao Yilin shared 50-50 parts, so his restaurant could produce 240,000 taels of silver a year, which was quite a lot. It would be more profitable to open such a restaurant in the capital. 

  It's just a restaurant. In the future, the sale of soy sauce will take into account the purchasing power of the general public, although the price is not expensive, but the reach is broad. It's for people all over the country. 

  As long as you know the benefits of soy sauce, it is estimated that everyone will buy it. A little accumulation produces a lot, and it is not necessarily less than a restaurant. 

  Jing Yi thought that this money could be allocated to the military expenditure of the Jin State, and the armies of the entire country could profit. 

  At that time, even if some people were envious of Xiao Yilin's income, they would hesitate. 

  Both the restaurant and the soy sauce shop were managed by the people from Prince Jing's House, so Jing Yi didn't have to worry about it, he was now busy managing his own fields and researching the cotton picking machine, either, spinner machine, and loom. 

  Jing Yi investigated and found that textile technology in this era was very backward. 

  Flower popping machines today are tools for cotton popping that use very simple wooden tools, which are not only inefficient but also require a lot of labor for the flower popper. 

  The cotton picking equipment currently in use can be picked seven or eight catties of fiber by one person after a hard day's work. This efficiency is very low and cannot be lowered. 

  Jing Yi plans to design a popping machine with higher efficiency. 

  He not only designed the pop-pin machine, but he also perfected the spinning and weaving machine. 

  In this era, there were kudzu, hemp, silk, cotton and other materials that had to go through a very complicated process ranging from harvesting to threading and weaving into cloth. 

  Jing Yi spent a long time in a remote area when she was doing chores in her previous life, where she saw the process of weaving old coarse cloth.

  The weaving process is very complicated, ranging from picking cotton yarn to weaving fabric through ginning, popping, spinning, threading, sizing, dyeing, chaotic thread, fall thread, warp thread, brushing thread, hedging, etc, weaving, and hedging.There are 72 large and small processes, such as hanging machine, running cloth, woven cloth and knitting machine, all purely handmade. 

  There are many sub-processes in each process, it is amazing to imagine how complex the workforce is involved in a product. 

  There are many families in Yunxi Village who have looms and can weave rough fabrics. Some villagers weave coarse cloth to wear because they cannot afford to buy cloth. 

  It's just that looms take a long time to weave a piece of cloth, and their efficiency is very low. 

  No wonder the price of this ancient fabric is not cheap, and many people cannot afford cotton cloth. Not to mention the silk and satin that only the rich and officials could wear. 

  In Yunxi Village, Jing Yi saw many people wearing rough linen clothes, not to mention clothes like this were very uncomfortable to wear, and did not warm up during the cold weather. 

  Jing Yi thought maybe he could increase cotton production and lower the price of cotton. Then design spring flower machines, spinning machines, and more efficient looms. Let the price of fabric gradually go down in the future, so that people can buy cotton clothes. Cotton clothes can be worn in winter. 

  In this way, he can make money and benefit mankind. 

  After all, when he came here, he couldn't just make money or just think of revenge, at least revenge was unrealistic right now. He can also do something meaningful. Otherwise, his wood-type abilities and the thousand-year-old culture he inherited would be useless. 

  Jing Yi bought the spinning wheels, looms, and other equipment currently used for spinning and weaving, then took it to the studio. He drew the appearance of this device, and then dismantled it one by one, and marked it with numbers, fully understanding its structure and principles. 

  Then Jing Yi began to change the device based on the knowledge in his mind.

  Jing Yi was able to become an ace agent in her previous life, not only because of her good medical skills and skills, but also because she had a genius brain. 

  The knowledge learned involves all aspects. He has to learn a lot because of his profession. He should be able to use a variety of weapons, a variety of vehicles, and many repairs. This required him to be proficient in machines, weapons, and other aspects of knowledge. 

  Sometimes to get close to the intended person on a mission, one needs to learn another science that is useful for the mission, so it is not excessive to say that Jing Yi was knowledgeable in ancient times. 

  Even now, it was very easy for Jing Yi to design some thermal weapons. 

  It was just that in this era of cold weapons, Jing Yi did not want to bring an overly lethal hot weapon into this world first. 

  Jing Yi first bought tin powder, made a simple pencil for himself, and then started drawing one by one, he also did a lot of calculations. 

  Lin Xiuhan had been coming to Yunxi Village a lot lately, and had frequent visits to Jing Yi's home. 

  But now that everyone knew him, Qiao Hong and the others were not so restrained when they saw Lin Xiuhan. Liu Shi and Lin Xiuhan became more familiar with each other. He also valued Lin Xiuhan more. 

  When Lin Xiuhan arrived at Chu's house, Qiao Hong brought him to Jingyi's studio. He saw several bookshelves and a long table in the room. There were several books on the bookshelves, and various wooden objects were placed on the long tables. The components are very curious. 

  He knew that his brother had bought a spinning machine, looms, and so on, and now that he had seen this, he knew he had dismantled everything. 

  Lin Xiuhan took a part and looked at it, and said, "Jing Yan, why did you dismantle everything? What you?" 

  Jing Yi said, "I dismantled them to understand their internal structure and principles. Now the efficiency of popping machines, spinning machines, and looms is too low. I want to improve and improve their results." 

  Lin Xiuhan's eyes twinkled when he heard this, "Jing Yan, are you sure?"

  Jing Yi said: "It shouldn't be too difficult. I know their structure and principles now. The next step is to draw some pictures first, and then let the carpenters in the village try to make them. Take your time. As long as I Enough to raise cotton before harvesting." 

  Lin Xiuhan looked at the piece of paper on the table with many symbols that he did not recognize and asked curiously: "Jing Yan, what kind of symbol is this, what kind of symbol is this, why have I never seen it before?" 

  Jing Yi saw that it was a piece of paper that he used for calculations, and it was filled with calculated numbers. 

  "Oh, it's a character commonly used in some other countries. Very comfortable to count. I use it to calculate some data. This kind of character has not been introduced to our country, so you may have never seen it. ." Lin Xiuhan heard 

  there was a strange light in his eyes, "Jing Yan, do you know any foreign characters? It is no exaggeration to say that you are knowledgeable. Jing Yan, can you teach me a character like this? " 

  Jing Yi said: "This kind of character is not so good. It is used for arithmetic or counting. This is what you call arithmetic. I think it's very easy to use these kinds of words to count. If Brother Lin wants him to learn, I can teach you."
