The emperor had seen a memorial from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry a few days ago, saying that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry had mastered the technology of improving looms. The Weaving Bureau also sent 300 craftsmen to improve the looms, and all the looms could be improved within three days. Renovation completed.
Improving the productivity of silk is a major matter for the country and the people. After handling the official duties left before the New Year, the emperor couldn't restrain his inner curiosity and came to the Camping and Restoration Department in person to inspect the situation when he had free time today.
As soon as the emperor entered the door, he saw the wide courtyard crowded with people. He thought he had received news that he was coming from the camp and repair department, and these officials took the initiative to gather here to greet him.
The people waiting for the camp and repair department fell to their knees in a crowd, and the Jenny spinning machine in the center of the open space was exposed, which instantly caught the emperor's attention.
"Everyone, get up," the emperor waved his hand and said, "What is that on the ground?"
The emperor walked slowly towards the spinning machine, and the people from the camp and maintenance department also consciously made way for the emperor to make way for him.
"Your Majesty, this is the new spinning machine made by Xiaguan," Yingchu introduced at the side, "This spinning machine can hold multiple roving spindles at one time, and the spinning speed is the same as that of a traditional hand spinning machine. eight times.”
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of exclamations. One person was as good as eight. If manpower was included, the spinning efficiency would be more than a hundred times higher than before.
The emperor couldn't help being speechless after hearing this. He didn't expect that Yingchu could bring him such a big surprise. He was slightly excited and said, "Has it been done? Is it really as magical as you said?"
Yingchu answered the emperor in the affirmative. At everyone's request, he put on the roving spindle and started his performance.
Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, he would be lying if he said he was not nervous. He was not afraid that the spinning machine would not be successful this time, but that he was boasting so much now that he would be embarrassed if the demonstration failed later.
You should first turn the big runner in full view of the public, drive the rotating shaft, pull out the thick thread, use the runner to tighten the thick thread, while the spool rotates to wind the yarn, and then pull the control lever to prevent the thin thread spindle from rotating.
Repeat the above steps to spin the coarse yarn into fine thread.
Ying Chu pulled out a piece of freshly baked thin thread. Before he could take a closer look, the emperor took it away and held it in his hand for closer inspection. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the thin thread in the emperor's hand.
The eunuch in charge next to him squealed "Ouch" and said, "Your Majesty, the fine thread spun from this is even more delicate than that of many experienced showgirls."
The emperor took the thin thread and looked at it carefully in the sun. The thin thread was spun very evenly. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and handed it to his father-in-law who had been waiting for a long time behind him. "Take it and show it to them all."
Yingchu remembered that the last time the emperor shared his works with others in the palace without his consent, he couldn't help but feel speechless. This emperor really wanted to show his subordinates appreciation, no matter whether they were good or bad.
