Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

When Zhen Yingren was summoned to the capital by Mo Gu, Zhen Yingren was still in a daze, completely unaware of why the Holy Majesty would suddenly summon him to the capital.

In this world, because Concubine Li Shu was born in Hengtian, Concubine Zhen is not as favored as in the original work. Under such circumstances, the Zhen family is naturally not as arrogant as in the original work. .

As the eldest son of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingren is also quite capable, but because of his health, he was unable to take the imperial examinations. After Yinen took over the position of the Jinling Weaving Department, he really worked hard to study weaving.

Zhen Yingren improved the existing weaving machine a little bit, tried to figure out the mind of the sage, and simplified the pattern, but the material of the fabric is more and more changeable, such as peacock gold, doro...etc, not inferior to Western looms. The tribute they paid was even better. Many foreigners even bought goods from Jinling Weaving Bureau and sold them back to European countries.

In addition, Zhen Yingren also improved the mixed weaving method, such as doping peacock gold thread, silk thread...etc.

Don't underestimate the mixed weaving. Different wire materials have different thicknesses, as well as the tension and tension of the wire itself. It is necessary to use two different wire materials on the same loom to weave, and it must be just right. The effort required is by no means comprehensible to ordinary people, and it is difficult for Zhen Yingren to study it thoroughly as a man.

Of course, Zhen Yingren also praised Mo Gu a little bit, and pushed his achievements on Mo Gu without any trace.

Zhen Yingren greeted him and said: "This method of mixed weaving used to rely on skilled craftsmen to adjust the loom with years of experience. It would take several months to weave a foot of peacock gold, but the servants used the method of the Holy One." Teaching mathematics, physics and chemistry, and digitalizing the adjustment of the loom, now it only takes half a month for us to produce a foot of peacock gold, which is much more convenient than before."

Mo Gu nodded repeatedly, "It's rare for you to be able to apply the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry."

Although he has promoted mathematics, physics and chemistry for many years, most people just deal with mathematics, physics and chemistry as exams, but no one wants to use mathematics, physics and chemistry. Although Jinling Academy has also begun to teach mathematics, physics and chemistry these years , but after all it is not as good as Yingtian Academy.Zhen Yingren became a talent through self-study, and he can use mathematics, physics and chemistry, which is extremely rare in the court.

Zhen Yingren was overjoyed, receiving a compliment from the Holy Spirit, his hard work over the years was not in vain.

Mo Gu pondered and said: "Just based on your contribution in weaving, the color of the robe you are wearing should also be changed."

The green robe of the fifth rank and the scarlet robe of the fourth rank, Zhen Yingren is only wearing the green robe from the fifth rank at present, so he thinks that Zhen Yingren can advance to the fourth rank.

Zhen Yingren was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

In the end, Zhen Yingren choked up slightly, because he was not born as an official through the imperial examination, but he was able to become an official because of his ancestors. Can go up another level.

Mo Gu has carefully observed Zhen Yingren's improvement of looms. Zhen Yingren has been immersed in weaving since he was a child, and he is willing to study hard. He is really No. 1 in the court for weaving skills. I recommended you, you are really talented in this respect, but..."

Mo Gu's voice was weak, "What I want today is not some rare and rare fabric, nor is it that the fabric must be woven with rare poultry and livestock hair, I want you to improve the cotton and linen weaving technology, so that we can make the Jin Dynasty Middleman, everyone has clothes to wear, how dare Zhen Qing accept this matter?"

Zhen Yingren hesitated for a moment, the Holy Majesty specifically pointed out the words cotton and linen. Cotton and linen are just the most commonly used clothing materials for ordinary people. Most of the wealthy households who have a little money wear silk. It can be seen that everyone in the Holy Majesty's mouth refers to Common people in the lower classes.

Zhen Yingren is not a person who does not know the world and his fingers are not touched by the spring water. He understands in his heart that it is not difficult to let the rich have clothes for everyone, but it is difficult to let the ordinary people have clothes for everyone. After all, the word 'poor' could not be solved so easily, but Zhen Yingren knew better in his heart that if he missed this opportunity, let alone Scarlet Robe, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to be reused by the Holy One again.

Zhen Yingren made his decision in just a few seconds, and said respectfully, "I take orders!"

Mo Gu explained the principle of the spinning jenny in detail. The principle of the spinning jenny is simple, and Zhen Yingren himself is an expert in this field, so he understood the principle in a short time.Zhen Yingren murmured: "In this way, the spinning speed will be greatly increased, and the speed and efficiency of weaving will also be greatly improved."

"I'll leave this to you." Mo Gu ordered, "What's missing, what kind of machine you want to make, you can discuss with the people from the Ministry of Industry. I'll ask the Ministry of Industry to cooperate as much as possible."

Zhen Yingren was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone knew that among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry was the most valued by the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty asked the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with him on errands. It can be seen that Zhen Yingren was so excited about it.

After Zhen Yingren returned home, he asked his wife to visit Shi Tong with heavy gifts.

"Old lady of the historian?" Zhen's wife wondered: "We have never had any contact with the historian, why did your husband suddenly visit the historian?"

She has also heard a little about Shi Tong. As a woman, she actually competed with a group of men for the position of secretary next to the Holy Majesty. It would be shameful to even mention it, but Zhen's wife also understands that if she hadn't arrived Life really can't go on, how could Shi Tong run out to do things at such an age when he is so fond of his grandchildren.

"I was able to come to Beijing for my husband this time, thanks to Mrs. Shi's recommendation."

Zhen Yingren sighed slightly, a talented person must be appreciated by a bole, the Holy One doesn't pay much attention to clothing, to put it bluntly, I'm afraid the Holy One can't even distinguish between internal use and official use, and because of this, he His hard work in the past few years has not been valued by others. If Shi Tong hadn't recommended him, he might have been wasting his life in the Jinling Weaving Bureau.

"So that's how it is." As it was about her husband's future, Zhen's wife straightened her face, "I will post the post right away, we should thank Mrs. Shi kindly."

Zhen Yingren's family specially chose Shi Tong's Muxiu day to visit. It is said that the male guests received male guests, and the female guests received female guests. Neither Tong nor the Zhen family are young people, so they don't avoid suspicion.

Zhen Yingren and Wang Zisheng had a good relationship, so naturally they knew about Shi Tong. They had met several times when they were young. The time was really bad, and his appearance was a bit haggard, with frowning always between his brows and a bitter look on his face.

Compared to that time, although Shi Tong is now half a century old, his eyes are clear, with a hint of majesty faintly visible, like an old lady from a wealthy family. With the look of sadness in the past, if he met suddenly, Zhen Yingren would really not recognize it. It turned out that this kind old lady was Shi Tong back then.

When Zhen Yingren's family came in, Shi Tong and Shi Xiangyun's eyes could not help but fall on Zhen Yingren's youngest son.

Zhen Yingren and his wife were very affectionate and had several children, but the one they loved the most was Zhen Baoyu, an old man. This time it was a rare visit to a distinguished guest, so the Zhen family brought Baoyu together .

Shi Tong couldn't help but let out a little gasp, "Why is Brother Jue here?"

"Brother Jue!?" Zhen Baoyu looked left and right, seeing the eyes of Mrs. Shi and Shi Xiangyun on him, and asked suspiciously, "Is the old lady calling me?"

"Aunt." Shi Xiangyun said with a crisp smile, "He's not Brother Jue, it's just..."

Shi Xiangyun couldn't help looking at Zhen Baoyu for a long time, frowned and said: "It really looks like Brother Jue."

If she hadn't known it was impossible, she would have suspected that this man and Brother Jue were twins.

Zhen's wife couldn't help but wondered: "Then Jue is the son of the He family? Is he really similar to our family's Baoyu?"

To what extent do these two children have to resemble each other before Mrs. Shi mistook them?

Hearing that Zhen Baoyu's name was Baoyu, Shi Tong couldn't help laughing, "Brother Jue is the son of the second household of the Jia family, what a coincidence, brother Jue's nickname happens to be Baoyu."

The nickname Baoyu was bestowed upon him by the Holy Majesty. Usually no one in Jia's mansion would dare to call Brother Jue Baoyu directly. If Xiangyun and Jia Jue hadn't exchanged marriage letters when they got engaged, she might not have known about Brother Jue. There is such a nickname.

Upon hearing that it was the second room of Jia's mansion, Zhen's wife's smile was faint, but she didn't show it, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I must meet this brother Jue when I have a chance."

Shi Tong said meaningfully: "There will be a chance."

When others heard that Jia Jue came from the second room of Jia's mansion, they would inevitably despise him. However, Brother Jue is not like his father at all, and sooner or later he will become famous. If she hadn't been optimistic about Brother Jue, she would not have married Xiangyun. To Jia Jue.

Zhen Yingren first thanked Shi Tong for recommending him in front of the Holy Majesty, and then inquired about the Holy Majesty's preferences.

Shi Tong laughed and said, "Your Majesty Zhen doesn't need to think too much, you just need to settle down and handle the errands."

"This..." Zhen Yingren hesitated for a while, and said bluntly: "You have to know a thing or two."

Knowing the preferences of the Holy One, he can see where to exert his strength.As the Holy Majesty's secretary, Shi Tong spent a very long time with the Holy Majesty, and presumably knew a thing or two about the Majesty's preferences.

"If you really want to say, there is only one hope for the Holy One." Shi Tong said with a smile: "The world is united!"

These four words are easy to say, but not easy to do, but the Holy Majesty has been working towards this goal for many years without slacking off, which is really admirable.

Zhen Yingren didn't believe what Shi Tong said about the great harmony of the world. The emperor would not want the great harmony of the world to establish a career, but it is not so easy to achieve the great harmony of the world, but there is a point of view , the Holy One is serious when he said that everyone should have clothes to wear.

Because of this, Zhen Yingren also took a chance to study the Jenny machine mentioned by the Holy Majesty. After spending countless time and spending a lot of manpower and material resources, Zhen Yingren finally researched the Jenny machine. Not only that, Zhen Yingren On the basis of the Jenny machine, the Jenny machine has been greatly improved.

The jenny machine researched by Zhen Yingren has gone beyond the scope of the original jenny machine, and even has the prototype of the mule spinning machine.Mo Gu was overjoyed, so he abandoned the naming habits of Da Jin No. [-] and Jing Rong No. N, and directly asked Zhen Yingren to name it after Zhen's family, and he was named Zhen's machine.

Although the original Jenny machine can spin sixteen spindles in one go, the thread spun is extremely rough and the tension of the thread is not enough, and it is easy to break when weaving the cloth, so it can only be used as the weft thread of the cloth.However, Zhen Yingren adjusted the spindle according to the actual situation, and the cotton yarn spun by Zhen's machine was soft and fine, which was no different from ordinary high-grade cotton yarn.

The disadvantage of Yuanyi is that Zhen's machine has high requirements on raw materials, and requires raw materials with long fiber lengths to twist fine yarns. Generally, the length of cotton fibers on the market is only mediocre, and the spun silk yarns are easy to use. Somewhat poor.

Zhen Yingren blushed rarely, "Although it is not suitable for spinning cotton yarn, it is good for linen yarn."

Of course, the linen cloth is rough and not warm, even ordinary people don’t like to wear it, but it can be mixed with linen yarn and cotton yarn to make cotton linen cloth. would be too bad.

Mo Gu secretly admired that Zhen Yingren really deserved to be an expert in this field. Although this machine has many limitations, Zhen Yingren also thought of making up for this deficiency in other ways.

He mused: "You can do it freely. As for the problem of not having enough cotton fibers... I asked Wang Zisheng to cultivate some new varieties. I said that they should be harvested in two days. You can use those new cottons to try."

Although the fiber length of this cotton is not as long as that of flax, there are a few varieties of cotton fibers in this world that can barely reach the length of the fiber. He had asked Xue Hao to get a lot of Egyptian cotton seeds, maybe he can try it, otherwise Xiao Wu will be troubled , to help cultivate new varieties of cotton.

Mo Gu later found out that Wang Zisheng, who doesn't understand genetics and technology, just closed his eyes and planted randomly, but the reason why he made Wang's rice is very simple, because he has a boyfriend Li Max behind him. man!

With the support of Xiao Wu's wood-type spiritual power, Wang Zisheng naturally grows whatever he grows, even if he doesn't fertilize it, it will grow better than other places, and the direction of plant variation is to choose good places to mutate. , with the support of Xiaowu, Mogu believes that Wang Zisheng will soon be able to grow real long-staple cotton, and it may be better than Egyptian cotton.

Although the cotton matter was settled, Zhen Yingren reminded in a low voice with some embarrassment: "The low price of grain hurts the farmers. If there is too much yarn, the price of this yarn will not go up. I'm afraid the yarn workers will be dissatisfied."

The speed of this Zhen's spinning machine shocked even Zhen Yingren himself. This is just a spinning machine driven by simple water power. I'm afraid that the production capacity of Zhen's spinning machine can be increased several times, and by that time, most of the yarn workers in the world will have no yarn to spin, and troubles will arise.

Mogu rubbed his chin. This unemployment problem was a big problem no matter in that era. When he promoted cement roads and sea transportation, the jobs of the water gangs dropped sharply. At the time of the law, it was inevitable that the salt merchants would resist collectively.

When the world is progressing, there will inevitably be a period of pain, but the pace of progress in this world will not stop because of anyone's pain. No matter how painful it is, what should be done must be done. It is better than watching other people As the country progresses, it would be better to have another tragedy like that in the late Qing Dynasty.

"I will let someone handle this matter." Mo Gu ordered: "You can study it with peace of mind, and there will be someone from the household department to guide the yarn workers to change jobs."

He is short of people, so there will be no work to do, besides, the land of the Jin Dynasty is much wider than most people imagine, and it has long been secretly exposed that people have occupied Australia. A malicious smile.

Zhen Yingren subconsciously took a few steps back, always feeling that the smile on the Holy Majesty's face was a bit...

Under Mo Gu's strong promotion, although many yarn workers objected, the Zhen's spinning machine was still promoted in the Jin Dynasty after all.

Starting from Zhen's spinning machine, the Jin Dynasty officially entered the era of industrial revolution.

Many years later, when people study the history of the Great Jin Dynasty, they have to talk about Emperor Jingrong and all the amazingly talented people who appeared in the Jingrong Dynasty.

For some people, there is really a difference to the whole world.
