Chapter 699 Human-machine competition, what kind of trick is this? (Second more)
Chapter 708

Hundreds of years have passed since the Tang Dynasty, but the technology has not yet improved, so this kind of thing will only be planted in a small amount in the northwest border.But after hearing that Wang Yang has come up with some magical machinery that can solve this problem.

Gao Shi immediately asked his entourage to buy hundreds of catties of cotton and put it in his residence, racking his brains to think about how to remove the cotton seeds.

As a result, for two whole days, there were no clues to the fart, let alone a solution to cotton seed removal, which made Gao Shi, who seemed very modest and cautious on the surface, almost took his head off The door is cracked.

Among the crowd, compared to other people, his expression is not as playful as watching the excitement, but looks very serious, just like a warrior, who is generally cautious and rigorous when facing a strong enemy .

At this moment, Wang Daguan, with two dark circles under his eyes like a national treasure giant panda, is sitting in the hall drinking tea. Those officials who arrived first have already been sitting in the hall one after another. There are two large and small things that are completely covered by red cloth.

These must be the cotton deseed that Wang Daguan spent nearly three days making, oh no, it is the Yuanyou cotton gin.

"My lords are all here, right? If that's the case, let's start..." Wang Yang smiled, stood up, and walked around the field energetically, before reaching the two tables covered by red cloth. In front of the thing, pull it hard.

Suddenly, two pieces of red cloth were torn apart, revealing two Yuanyou cotton gins that hadn't even been painted. "These are the successes that Wang Yang has spent the past few days with painstaking efforts and sleepless nights: Yuanyou Human Cotton Gin and Yuanyou Hydraulic Cotton Gin."

These two names were imprinted in everyone's hearts almost at the same time, and Zhe Keshi was the first to jump up.Looking at these weird machines. "Master Wang, listen to the name, one of them needs to be driven by water power, and the other needs to be driven by manpower, right?"

"Yes, this is a cotton gin that only requires manpower to use. Come on, hurry up and get fifty kilograms of seeded cotton. Can anyone help me?"

"There's no need to ask others to do it. Zhe Zheng has nowhere to use his strength." Zhe Keshi, an old driver who has cooperated with Wang Yang for a long time, showed a fit posture, and said with admiration .

In a short time, Wu Qilang, Ling Zong and others brought several sacks filled with cotton with seeds.Following Wang Yang's instructions, the sacks were opened, and the cotton with cotton seeds scattered all over the place.

"Come, come, let's all take a look, these cottons are not fake, the seeds inside are hard to remove, right..." Wang Yang beckoned to all the officials present to watch the fun.

#####
A group of officials came up to them in great curiosity, and began to look at the balls of pure white cotton mixed with small cotton seeds in their hands.Even some guys are good at trying to find a way to get the cottonseed out of it.

It soon became apparent that even picking it up with your hands would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. "It's no wonder that this cotton cloth is sold so expensively. It would take a lot of effort just to pick it up."

People began to chatter while holding the cotton, and they all expressed their opinions, that is, it is indeed very difficult to remove the seeds of cotton.

"Okay, everyone has read it and understood that it is very difficult to remove the seeds of cotton. Now, is there any official who originally competed with this machine developed by this official?"

"...Human-machine competition, what the hell kind of trick is this?" The officials present looked at the spitting Wang Daguan in bewilderment.

"That is to say, on the one hand, a group of people are picking cotton seeds by hand, and on the other hand, this Yuanyou human cotton gin is operated by the official and general Zhe. Let's see, is it faster by hand or by my machine? quick."

"Master Wang, you are so knowledgeable and talented, it must be because your machine is fast." Needless to say, someone flattered him immediately.

"That being said, there is no harm without comparison. Heck, what I mean is, if there is no comparison, how do you know how much the efficiency of this human cotton gin is compared to that of manpower? The advantage, is it worth the investment..."

After Master Wang's words, everyone understood what it meant. If the efficiency of this manual cotton gin that requires two people to operate is equivalent to that of ten seed-removing mothers, well... Generally, manual seed-removing, They are all ingenious and patient women.

If it is equivalent to ten seed-removing women, then this machine is actually very tasteless. After all, machines cost money to buy. If it is comparable to manpower, quite a few people would rather be tired , Also unwilling to spend money to purchase such a machine.

Therefore, if facing dozens or hundreds of seed-removing girls, this machine, which only requires two people to operate, can easily win.

Then, such a machine will inevitably become the first choice of merchants. In terms of two people and one machine, compared with the cost of hiring a hundred seed-removing women, even an illiterate old farmer can figure out which is more beneficial picture.

"My lord, this is not good. Your lords are all fine people, and you have never done this business before. It is better that you don't need your lords to do it. Why don't you ask Wan to recruit [-] seed-removing women in the city? How does this Yuanyou cotton gin compare with each other?"

Seeing Wan Bin who was eager to try, Wang Yang thought so, after all, these officials are afraid that they are not willing to make a fool of themselves. "Since that's the case, then follow what Brother Wan said. Come and send messengers to recruit twenty seed-removing girls from the city. The sooner the better."

Soon, a group of capable servants rushed out immediately, yelling in the streets and alleys, and some clever ones rushed home to call their mother-in-law and old lady to come to the competition together.

Wang Yang and the others waited for less than a cup of tea, and twenty seed-removing mothers, ranging in age from their early twenties to about 50 years old, gathered here.

Wang Yang stood up, comforted the somewhat nervous seed-removing girls kindly, and then personally agreed that as long as they can win, each of them will be rewarded with five strings of money.

The seed-removing girls who were still a little nervous at first heard these words, and one or two of them suddenly had their eyes brightened, their fighting spirit was so high that they had already put their nervousness and fear to the back of their minds.

Soon, Zhe Keshi lifted up the front of the official robe, rolled up his sleeves, and began to move his arms full of bulging muscles, so that the corners of Wang Yang's eyes stood up. "I said brother, what do you want to do?"

"Get ready for the activity, don't worry, this thing, with the strength of someone's arms that can open a four-stone bow, will definitely be able to pull it very fast." Zhe Keshi said proudly.

Wang Yang's face turned dark, and he gave this guy an annoyed look. "Brother, you'd better try it with only one-fifth of your strength. This thing doesn't need the full strength of a strong man like you, okay?"

Zhe Keshi began to push the pull rod of the human cotton gin with half-belief.Zhe Keshi, who originally thought she would have to use her breastfeeding strength, couldn't help but look a little confused. "I said, Mr. Wang, is this pole too light? I didn't even use my strength..."

"That's because Wang added a force-reducing component inside. Not to mention you, even a delicate seed-removing lady can easily drive this human cotton gin." After Wang Yang explained helplessly, Gao Shize nodded at Gao Shi, who had volunteered to be the referee.
