Zhu Youjian waved his hand and asked Fu Xiaojian to retreat. He saw a rickety old man who came to the inside of the gate and blocked the gate. "This old man, why did he speak to prevent me from waiting to enter the school?"
"You look strange, you shouldn't be from the academy," the old man scanned the crowd once, and then fixed his gaze on Zhu Youzhen, "They are from the academy, of course they can go out freely."
"The old man is..."
"I am the gatekeeper of the academy," the old man straightened his waist and wanted to stand upright. "Any outsider who wants to enter the academy must be identified first."
Zhang Yixian ran up, waiting for a few words. Seeing Zhu Youjian waved his hand, he had to point to his eunuch's hat. The old man was so scared that his face was earthy, and he knelt on the ground with a "puff", "Caomin damn..."
Zhu Youzhen walked forward with a smile and helped the old man up, "Lao Zhang, there is nothing wrong with your loyalty to your job, don't worry, I'll come to your dean."
"President?" The old man came to his senses from a daze, "President Xu is in a ill health and is recuperating at home."
"Then Dean Xu's house is in the hospital?"
"In the courtyard, since a few people are in the palace, then... please follow me!" The old man led Zhu Youjian and others into a gray-white hut, "This is the home of Dean Xu, his body No, I should be at home."
"Thank you Lao Zhang." Zhu Youjian bowed his hand to the old man.
The old man gave a gift, "No, Dean Xu is not in good health, so you have to leave earlier."
One of the guards first notified him, and not long after he came back, "Your Majesty, Dean Xu would like to invite you."
This Xu Guangqi, can't come out to meet him like this? But Zhu Youjian always didn't care about etiquette, so he didn't think much about it. Under the guidance of the guard, he entered Xu Guangqi's inner house.
"Your Majesty..." Xu Guangqi was shaking up from the bed, and an old woman was supporting Xu Guangqi's arms.
"Guangqi is not well, no need to be polite!" Zhu Youjian walked two steps tightly, pressing Xu Guangqi on the bed.
"That..." Xu Guangqi leaned against the quilt and kicked, "Your Majesty..."
"How is Guangqi's body?" Zhu Youzhen found that Xu Guangqi's body was extremely bad, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to come out to welcome him.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min... Cao Min is okay, he is ill... I have committed..."
Seeing that Xu Guangqi was so seriously ill, Zhu Youjian couldn't bear it, but his Academy of Sciences was his last hope. He slammed Zhang Yixian, and Zhang Yixian took out the bells and drawings from his arms.
"Guangqi, this is the tolling bell that I accidentally obtained from a Westerner, as well as the production drawings. Can the Academy of Sciences imitate it?"
Xu Guangqi stretched out his right arm, took the self-ringed bell, fiddled with it left and right, then placed it on the bedside, took the drawing, and quickly glanced, "Your Majesty, Caomin... I am not proficient in these things, but the Academy of Sciences Tang Ruowang... is proficient in machinery. Your Majesty put it here for the time being. Cao Min... Let Tang Ruowang... give it a try, maybe you can copy it.
"Tang Ruowang?" Zhu Youjian murmured. The name was so familiar, but he couldn't remember exactly who it was for a while. "
"Your Majesty, Tom Ruowang... is sacred... the Roman Empire..."
Zhu Youzhen understood, another missionary, a famous missionary, "Kuang Qi is not in good health, so he should be cured first, and I'll talk about it later."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Cao Min... It's okay..."
"I'll go back to the palace first. Guangqi is very important to recover from the illness. I don't have to rush for a while." Zhu Youjian left Xu Guangqi's home, left the Academy of Sciences, and returned to the Palace of Qing Dynasty.
Cai'er told Zhu Youjian that Liu Yuzhi had come to him early in the morning.
"This Miss Liu is really impatient, let her come over in the afternoon!" Zhu Youjian said to Zhang Yixian again: "Let people go to the market to buy back one hundred catties of cooked cotton, and then buy one of each spinning wheel, um, Buy more wood and tools to make spinning wheels."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Yixian left with an order.
"Your Majesty, are you really remodeling the spinning wheel in this Qianqing Palace?" Cai'er raised her small face, looking puzzled.
"Well, let Ms. Liu play around in the Nuan Pavilion. I want to give pointers or two at any time to make it more convenient."
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly ate lunch under the service of Zell, and seized the time to sleep for a while. When he got up, it was already the end of noon.
Cai'er stayed beside Zhu Youjian all the time. Seeing Zhu Youjian opened her eyes, she was blessed, "Your Majesty, Father Zhang bought back spinning carts and other equipment and sent them to Miss Liu."
"Oh, go and have a look." Under Cai'er's service, Zhu Youzhen finished wearing and washed his face with cold water. Only when Cai'er accompanied him, he came to the warm pavilion where Liu Yuzhi lived temporarily.
Liu Yuzhi was fiddling with a spinning wheel, her head covered with snow-white lint. Cai'er wanted to remind her. Zhu Youzhen reached out her hand to stop her, but she still couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Men's daughter, see your Majesty!" Liu Xianzhi raised her head to see Zhu Youjian, hurriedly put down the cotton ball in his hand, leaned down and bowed in front of Zhu Youjian, "Men's daughter did not know if your Majesty arrived..."
"Okay, get up!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand and laughed in his heart, "This, Miss Liu, do you have any eyebrows?"
"No," Liu Xianzhi got up from the ground and slowly shook his head, his big eyes filled with despair, "Your Majesty, let alone eight spindles, not even two."
"Ao, can Miss Liu spin?" Zhu Youjian looked at Liu Xianzhi's white fluff, like spores on tofu, not like spinning at all.
"Your Majesty, the servant girl will spin yarn since she was eight years old." After Liu Yuzhi finished speaking, he was also waiting for Zhu Youjian's answer. He sat in front of the spinning wheel and spun cotton in a modest manner. However, There is only one spindle on the spinning wheel.
"It turns out that Ms. Liu really knows how to spin." Zhu Youjian saw that Ms. Liu's hands and feet were still dexterous, and he no longer doubted her skills. He turned his attention to several spinning wheels.
There are a total of four spinning wheels with different structures. There are both the oldest rack cars and the latest spinning wheels. Zhu Youjian can't even call his name. This is like a rectangular frame. In the lower part of the frame, there is a Spindles placed horizontally.
"Miss Liu, you have tried it, what's the problem?"
"Your Majesty, the folk girl tried to add two spindles, but every time the yarn is spun, the yarn is either mixed or broken, which is slower than a spindle." Liu Fangzhi cast his eyes on Zhu Youzhen for help.
Zhu Youzhen followed Liu Xianzhi's gaze and found that Liu Xianzhi was a little depressed.
On the tender face, there was some redness in the paleness, and the green floral pleated skirt was soaked in sweat, wrapped around the body, fully exposing the graceful curve of the upper body.
Zhu Youjian's gaze stayed where it shouldn't be for a while, not wanting to be spotted by Liu Yuzhi, she glared fiercely, Zhu Youjian had to withdraw her gaze, "Miss Liu, you can try spinning two more spindles."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Miss Liu quickly reduced the anger on her face, and Yiyan took a seat on the small square stool. She had already added a spindle to this spinning machine.
Two spindles one behind the other are connected to the cooked cotton in a flat-bottomed wooden box. The side of the wooden box facing the spindles has no baffle.
When Liu Xianzhi only spun a sip of tea, a piece of cotton yarn broke. She stopped her movements and looked at Zhu Youjian eagerly, "Your Majesty, these are only two spindles. How can it not hold eight spindles, let alone fifteen."
This speed is obviously not good, and there are only two spindles.
Zhu Youjian walked around the four spinning machines and quickly searched for information about Jenny's spinning machine in his mind. He suddenly remembered the story of Jenny's spinning machine.
This story is as interesting as why Apple fell to the head, so he can still remember it clearly.
The inventor of Jenny’s spinning machine was a man. His wife was a female spinning machine. Because she accidentally overturned his wife’s spinning machine, he hurried to help, but he was surprised to find that the spinning wheel had overturned. , But the spindle is still rotating. Originally, the spindle was placed horizontally. Now that the spinning wheel is turned over, the spindle is placed vertically.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that if the spindles are placed vertically, the number of spindles can be increased! If he said nothing, he modified a spinning machine that could hold eight spindles overnight, and named the spinning machine after his daughter's name "Jenny".
The answer is here.
Zhu Youjian suppressed the secret joy in his heart, he circled the four spinning machines again, and finally stopped in front of the latest spinning machine.
This spinning machine with a rectangular frame structure only has one spindle in the center, which is empty. "Miss Liu, install a fixed crosspiece in the middle of this spinning machine. The crosspiece is from left to right. When fixing eight iron buttons, one spindle can be placed on each iron button."
"Vertical placement?" Liu Yuzhi scratched his "white hair" with his hands. "Your Majesty said, the spindles should be placed vertically?"
"Yes, put it upright, otherwise you won't be able to put so many spindles, and," Zhu Youjian squatted down and gestured at the spinning wheel in the neutral position. "After putting it upright, there will be no space between these cotton yarns. Churned together."
"Ah? Minnu see it, it's damn it, why can't I think of it?" Liu Yuzhi patted his head, and regardless of Cai'er's mocking eyes, he lowered his head and started to modify the spinning machine.
"Miss Liu, take your time to fiddle, and I have to go out of the palace." Zhu Youjian only provided ideas, knowing that if you follow this idea, you will definitely have results, but the specific modification and operation are not his expertise. Item, this is like the relationship between science and technology.
Besides, he doesn't have so much time, and he has to do everything by himself. Then he will be too busy to eat, so let the lovely Miss Liu look for a sense of existence.
"Your Majesty, let's take care of it first, the ladies first refit this spinning wheel," Liu Yuzhi put down the work in her hands, she has already regarded Zhu Youjian as a mentor, "If the modification fails, can the ladies go to seek help from your Majesty?"
"Of course, as long as I'm in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, Miss Liu can come to me for help at any time," Zhu Youjian looked at Cai'er next to him, "Remember, unless it's a meeting with an important minister in the court, Miss Liu will come over and report immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cai'er felt strange. This Miss Liu is just a girl from a wealthy family. How could she be favored by her Majesty? How did she know Zhu Youjian's "Industrial Revolution" plan.
Liu Yuzhi smiled in gratitude and looked at Zhu Youzhen with blank eyes, not knowing what she thought, she blushed suddenly, squeezed her mouth, twisted her neck, lowered her head and hurriedly fiddled with the spinning machine.
Zhu Youjian asked Cai'er to leave two court ladies to assist Liu Xianzhi, and then called two eunuchs to help purchase, and then left.
