Just when Luo Yong was hesitating whether to send out the handiwork of woolen socks, his disciples walking around the streets brought him a message.

In recent days, two brothers surnamed Qian came to the city. Both of them are carpenters. They say they are from Ludi. They can make hemp spinning wheels. How many.

"Have you ever seen the spinning wheel they built?" Luo Yong asked.

"No, these two people have now been invited by Governor Hao to the palace, promised to pay, ordered them to build hemp spinning wheels, and asked Yang Sigong to supervise the work of the two of them. We are also from Yang Sigong's family. I have heard about it everywhere." One of Luo Yong's disciples replied.

"Who else knows about this?" Luo Yong asked again.

"You should know everything you need to know. I was selling fermented bean curd and miso sauce at the back of the city the day before yesterday. I saw many people waiting outside the gate of the mansion. They asked the reason, but no one was willing to tell. I guess it must be wary of me and the others. Afterwards, he inquired all the way, and finally found out about it from Yang Sigong's family." The disciple explained to Luo Yongdao how he learned about it.

"I want to come to those villages next to the county seat, and I have also received news at this time." Luo Yong said.

"It must be so." His disciple also nodded.

The spinning wheel has been around since ancient times, but both its origin and its prosperity are in the silk spinning industry.

The hemp spinning wheel was manufactured before. It was a pedal type, and it was not very easy to use. The hemp thread spun was very uneven. The main reason was that the hemp fiber was inherently uneven and not as easy to spin as silk thread cotton.So until now, most of the women here still use spinning to twist the thread.

This time, the two craftsmen from Lu said that they can make useful hemp spinning wheels, but they don't know if it is true or not. If it is true, then the people here will save money in spinning. A lot of time and effort.

It's a pity that there are so many wolves and so little meat, I didn't see so many people waiting outside the gate of the palace.

Come to think of it, the reason why those two people from Lu came to Lishi County this time should also be for that Yan'er.

Luo Yong had thought before that if they develop here, they will definitely attract some funds and talents from other places, and at the same time there will be some competitors.But he didn't expect that people reacted so quickly at this time. After all, in this era of underdeveloped transportation and limited news, it seems that people at this time are more aggressive than he imagined.

Luo Yong just made a start, and the subsequent development of things is beyond his predictability and control. He can only try his best to find a position that is beneficial to him in this surging tide.

Speaking of it, the current rare peaceful and open social environment is indeed suitable for the development of productive forces. If some dynasties of later generations are changed, this will not work and that will not be allowed. I am afraid that many things will not work.

A few days later, the Qian brothers from Ludi finally came out from the gate of the mansion. Immediately, those people waiting outside the gate rushed up one after another, shouting in their mouths to ask Mr. Lang to come to them to make a hemp spinning wheel.

Among these noisy voices, only one person shouted loudly: "My master sent out a Yanerfei, and I asked the two gentlemen to go to Xipo Village to help him build two spinning wheels."

As soon as the Qian brothers heard the words Yan Erfei, they both turned their heads to look at the person who spoke. The older one had a happy expression on his face, while his younger brother looked a bit more stable.

"Is your master Luo Sanlang from Xipo Village?" the elder brother asked.

"Yes, my master is Luo Sanlang of Xipo Village." The man replied.

"So, the two of us will follow you this way." The Qian brothers immediately agreed.

They have already inquired about it before. The craftsman who made this Yanerfei is named Heng Yu, and his master is Luo Sanlang of Xipo Village. The two of them had thought about starting from Luo Sanlang at first, thinking that as long as it is done Na Luo Sanlang, with a word from the master, the disciple will definitely come out with the car, regardless of how many orders are waiting behind.

The two of them thought well, but Luo Yong didn't need to talk to Heng Yu about it, because he had a Yan'erfei at home right now.

He put the car in the courtyard, except for it being pushed by Siniang Wulang and the others to ride it, it was of no great use, mainly because he now has a large group of disciples, everything is convenient, and he doesn't need to go out very much.

Of the two Qian brothers, the older one was ranked second, and the younger one was ranked third. When Qian Erlang and Qian Sanlang went to Luo Yong's place, he asked him if he could really get Yan Erfei for him. Niangorang pushed his own car out.

When the two brothers saw this Yan'erfei, they couldn't move their eyes away.

The terrain there is flat, and the roads are generally smoother than here, which is very suitable for Yan Erfei's promotion.The brothers of his family go out to do work for others on weekdays, and they often leave for half a day and a whole day. If they get this Yanerfei, wouldn't it be much easier? People who think that they will also like this kind of car.

"I want a hemp spinning wheel and a wool spinning wheel. If you two help me build these two spinning wheels, I can take that Yan Erfei." Luo Yong said to the two brothers.

"Then it's a deal." The two brothers agreed immediately, and then asked Luo Yong where they were going to work. The materials were all ready.

Luo Yong led them to the courtyard where his disciples lived, and asked the two brothers to live there and work there for the past two days. Earlier, Heng and his sons built Yanerfei here, There is still some wood left, which is more than enough to build two spinning wheels.

Luo Yong was also a little curious when he saw the two brothers throwing their arms and started working, so he couldn't help but asked, "Have you ever made a wool spinning wheel before?"

"Naturally." The two brothers were picking wood at this time.

"There are also people spinning wool in your place?" Luo Yongqi asked.

"Naturally." The other party said again.

"What is the use of spinning wool?" Luo Yong became more curious.

"Of course it's for weaving." The other party was also confused by Luo Yong: "You don't know?" I don't know what kind of wool spinning wheel you still play?

"..." Luo Yong grinned, and gave them a smirk of a young man, without saying anything.

"After the wool is spun, it is mainly used to weave some carpets, not to make clothes." Qian Sanlang glanced at Luo Yong and said to him.

"That's how it is." Luo Yong nodded with a smile, and then said nothing more.

The Qian brothers were very nimble, and they seemed to be used to making spinning wheels. Together, they finished the two spinning wheels that Luo Yong wanted in less than two days.

Luo Yong asked them to demonstrate how to use the two spinning wheels, and the other party was also very straightforward. They also knew that the people here had never used this kind of spinning wheel before.

When the Qian brothers were demonstrating how to use the spinning wheel outside the courtyard of Luo’s family, almost all the old ladies in Xipo Village, from the old lady in her 70s to the [-]s, and the girls in her [-]s and [-]s were all present. The seats were all occupied by female compatriots, and the men could only watch from a distance.

The Qian brothers not only demonstrated by themselves, but also pointed out several people on the spot.

Spinning hemp is really not easy. Holding a ball of hemp fiber in one hand, you can’t squeeze it tightly, you can only squeeze a small ball loosely, and the other hand needs to replenish it at any time. In addition, the spinning wheel also needs to be shaken by hand. Those who have just learned the spinning wheel are eager to grow superhuman. If they hadn't seen that the Qian brothers spun smoothly, they would have doubted the reliability of the spinning wheel.

Spinning is much easier. I saw that Qian Sanlang took a ball of cashmere, pulled it with his hands, pressed it, made it into a sheet, and then rolled it up with a chopstick, rolling it back and forth several times. Then, I pulled out the chopsticks again, and I got a long, soft cashmere strip.

From one end of the cashmere strip, a strand of cashmere was squeezed out, twisted, and connected to the spinning wheel. Then he shook the spinning wheel, and the wheel turned, and the cashmere strip was pulled out round by round like silk. The cashmere is then twisted into a thin cashmere thread, which is really many times faster than what Luo Erniang and the others used to spin the thread before.

Many villagers were so shocked by the spectacle in front of them that if spinning could be so easy, how easy would it be for them to work in the future.

Luo Yong guessed that hemp should still be difficult to spin, and cashmere is too scarce. If cotton appears in the future, it will probably be able to achieve this speed, and the fiber of cotton is very close to cashmere.

After the Qian brothers got Yan Erfei, they refused to stay in Lishi County for a long time, and immediately expressed their intention to go back.

At the beginning, Luo Yong was also worried that the two of them got Yan Erfei from other places, and they went back to their hometown in Shandong before they got the spinning wheel, so they asked several disciples to wait in front of the palace in turn.

As for the spinning wheel, it is also easy to handle. The hemp spinning wheel is available here, and Hao Cishi also has more than one. It must be a matter of time to promote it.

The Qian brothers didn't dare to ride a Yan'erfei on the road in a flash. They sold a donkey cart in Lishi County, dismantled the Yan'erfei and piled it in the cart, and put some miscellaneous things on it. After that, he went home along the post road, but he didn't dare to take a shortcut like he did when he came here.

On the way, the older brother complained to his younger brother, "Sanlang, why are you so anxious? Many people in Lishi County want us to make spinning wheels. Their wages here are higher than ours."

"Since the spinning wheel has been acquired by the governor of Shizhou, it will be popularized in a short time. There is so much food to earn here, it is better to go home quickly and manage this Yanerfei business well." Qian Sanlang Said.

"Should we go back and make this Yan'erfei and sell it?" Qian Erlang was very happy when he heard about the sale of Yan'erfei.

"It's not as you think." Qian Sanlang said: "We build it ourselves, and we can make a few cars. I think that Heng's method is very good. We will also go back and find others to do it together. The wheel maker makes the wheel. Those who make car chains make car chains, and each performs his own duties."

"..." Qian Erlang was silent for a long time before arriving: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter."

"What's wrong?" Qian Sanlang laughed.

"After all, I learned other people's craftsmanship..." Qian Erlang said halfway, but couldn't continue.

"With all the kung fu we are doing now, which one is not learned from other people's craftsmanship? You said that you created the hemp spinning wheel yourself? If they are all like you, how many people in the world can do it? Can he use the hemp spinning wheel, can he use the swallow flying?" Qian Sanlang's words made his brother speechless.

At Heng's Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Hengyu is being pushed to the top and two big by the buyers who have placed orders at this time. He has no idea that his biggest competitor will soon rise on the other side of the Taihang Mountains. up.
