Reinforced iron dodder flower

"Mum, it's time to eat." Tuen came back from the outside and was surprised when he heard that Xi Daomao hadn't left the room today, so he ran to knock on the door.

"Yeah." There were a few perfunctory responses from the door, and there was no movement for a long time. I stuck it on the window and looked in, but I couldn't see clearly.

Thun simply pushed the door open and entered, only to see Xi Daomao sitting on the couch, with a short table next to him, on which were the Four Treasures of the Study, and there were marks of dried ink on his body.Xi Daomao had a pile of quilts on his knees, and the whole couch was covered with papers.

"Mum, you haven't slept all night, have you?" Looking at the degree of burning of the lamp oil, he waved his hand to disperse the smell caused by the long-term closed doors and windows burning charcoal, Tuen opened the window and sighed: "Mum, what are you doing?" ?”

Xi Daomao wrapped her hair with a scarf, which she didn't comb after she took it apart last night. "Oh, it's dawn!" Xi Daomao was woken up by Tu En, and seeing the sky outside, it was already bright.

"It's not only dawn, it's already noon!" Tuen sat on the side of the couch, picked up the scattered straw paper, and looked at it. On it was a schematic diagram of a spinning wheel, various drawings, and many densely packed small characters.Well, there are many calculations involved in the above, and Thun just threw it away.Her level of mathematics is roughly one-dimensional equations such as hooking three strands, four strings and five, and chickens and rabbits in the same cage. What is this on the blueprint?Calculate the speed of the water flow, calculate the earth and stone, calculate how deep the hole will be dug, how much wood will be used... slipped, slipped.

Xi Daomao was so rude that he stretched his waist, shook his head, and heard his neck creaking. Everyone who works at a desk should enjoy the torture of cervical spondylosis.

"When the book is used, I hate it. I usually think that I can be called a talented woman. When I really use it, I realize how shallow it is."

Thun has already picked up two divine books "Zhoubi Suanjing" and "Nine Chapters of Suanmeng" from the couch. Although "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" has a word for arithmetic, it talks about astronomical arithmetic, and "Gai Tian Shuo" uses fractional calculations and other things.Think about what level of calculation it will be when astronomy is involved.Anyway, Thun kept it at a respectful distance.

"Why is Mom learning this?"

"The last time I drove a water spinning wheel, it broke down within two days, and it almost hurt people. If you want to drive on the river this time, you need to calculate carefully, and it will be successful once." Xi Daomao got inspiration from Tuen's oil pressing workshop , planning to set up a water spinning wheel in the manor, but unfortunately failed last time.

"Why do you need mother to do it yourself? Brother Wang sent me some knowledgeable people, and mother just told them to do it." Tuen had already received Wang Lianhua's reply, and he felt so embarrassed. When we parted, he said I "don't eat soft rice", and now I write letters from thousands of miles to ask for money, doesn't my face hurt?

Thun has already shipped the vegetable oil and the money for the quick slaughter of various livestock these days.The official currency of the Jin Dynasty is the round square hole money, which is also known as Brother Kong Fang in later generations.It's a pity that due to years of wars, the court's money and copper are insufficient, and it has become bad money, and few people use it.The people at the bottom barter and exchange bulk commodities for goods. The real hard currency is cloth, grain, and livestock.

Thun has already exchanged all kinds of income for food to support the front line, and killed a batch of the livestock he fed, and packed a batch for him, and the rest is cloth.

Then Thun put his idea on Xi Daomao, who started planning to build a water spinning wheel very early. No wonder there are three thieves with one daughter?

"Did he bring you something again?"

"It's not in vain. I'll give him food and livestock in exchange. The people around Jinxing are staring at them, and they don't have these things." Thun explained with a smile that most parents are always afraid that their children will be petty and covet other people's things.I am also afraid that in the future, I will not be humane and make the child lose face.

"Forget it, just give it. It's also defending the border for the country." Xi Daomao took it easy, "You said he sent someone over, I'll go see him."

Tun graciously handed Xi Daomao the jewelry, watched over her dressing, and then smiled when he arrived at the living room: "He even gave mother a gift!"

With a wave of Thun's hand, Qu Bing and Yannian came up holding several brocade boxes. The boxes were all decorated with brocade, and the contents inside were unbelievably extraordinary.

The maid opened the box and saw that it was full of porcelain, a set of tea sets, a set of vases, and a set of wine vessels.

Xi Daomao took out two of the thin-necked vases, looked at the clean and transparent colors, they could reflect figures, and looked at the sunlight, the light could penetrate the bottles.What's even better is this shape. Xi Daomao has never seen such a vase before.Like the flower arrangement placed on the flower table at this time, most of the vases are big-bellied and round-mouthed, following a solemn and simple line, and suddenly this slender vase appears, like a beautiful woman with a weak willow supporting the wind, graceful and enchanting, which is very in line with the current aesthetics.

"It's really beautiful!" Xi Daomao praised, and took out the tea set and wine vessel, both of which were exquisitely designed and exquisitely crafted, and the white porcelain was like white jade, shiny and lustrous.

Now Xi Daomao is not worried about Wang Xi and Wang Lianhua's intentions, even if he has intentions, giving him such a treasure should make his wishes come true.

"Hurry up, go to the yard and pick some flowers. Are there any peach blossoms in early spring? Only the peach blossoms on the human face are red, which is suitable for this beauty vase with a narrow neck." Xi Daomao called for people to pick the flowers.

"Beauty bottle, did you give it a name?"

"Apart from Beauty Bottle, what other name is worthy of her?"

"Since you like it, use this wine set to warm up the bar today, and the vegetarian wine on the Zhuangzi will get better again." Thun suggested.

"It's not a big banquet, it's not a good day with a full moon and a clear sky, so use such good wine utensils to waste." Xi Daomao happily touched these white porcelain utensils, like a little girl who got a favorite toy.

Well, Thun shrugged, anyway, you drink, you have to pay attention to the sense of ritual, I don't mind drinking after bathing and changing clothes.

Thun's body is getting better now, and he can move without hindrance on weekdays, but he has a heart disease after all.Martial arts can't cultivate internal strength, so you can improve your physique step by step.Life will always remind Thun in some inadvertent little things that you are not a healthy person.

The pharmacist quickly picked peach blossoms, winter jasmine and other early spring flowers from the yard. Xi Daomao fiddled with the two vases, plugging them in and taking them apart. Demeanor, in short, you can find something wrong wherever you put it.

Thun had finished his meal, and sat idly by the side drinking water: "Mum, the food is getting cold, don't you want to eat? You haven't had breakfast yet."

"Not busy, not busy." Xi Daomao ignored his growling stomach, his eyes fell on the beauty bottle and he couldn't pull it out.

Seeing Xi Daomao's obsessed appearance, Thun is full of confidence in Wang Lianhua's white porcelain industry.

The people under Wang Lianhua were indeed reliable, and they directly brought a team over.Song Jiu, the leader, was originally a craftsman in the Shaofu. After crossing to the south, he lost his parents' family business and became a refugee.She was taken in by Wang Lianhua, and a craftsman team was formed.

When Song Jiu arrived in Juzhang County, he was not busy with the construction, but first visited the river where the water spinning wheel was to be built, and then looked up all the records about the river.

The river where Xi Daomao is going to build the water spinning wheel is called Yaojiang, and the section where they have the right to use it is called Cijiang.Song Jiu went from Miangang Mountain in the northeast of Xiajialing, the origin of Siming Mountain, down the river, passing through Simingjiang Duan, Yaojiang Duan, Houqingjiang Duan, Lanshu River Duan, and then to Cijiang Duan, and finally to the sea. , by the time he finished reading, the time had come to winter.

Fortunately, the manor that Xi Daomao bought was the highest place except the place of birth. The manor contained several low hills, forming a natural drop, without artificially building dams and high platforms.Otherwise, such a huge water conservancy project would be enough to bring down many families.

"Xi Niangzi, I have traveled all over the Cijiang River and read all the records. After calculation, it is most suitable to erect the water spinning wheel between five and ten miles away from the foot of the mountain." Song Jiu pointed to the blueprint.

"Oh, how did you figure it out?"

Song Jiu raised his head in doubt. In the past, nobles listened to him and never asked this question, because they were not interested in the calculation process.

Seeing his strangeness, Xi Daomao laughed and said, "I've calculated it too. The best place is three miles from the foot of the mountain, where the drop is the largest and the water power is strongest."

The theoretical best position he had calculated before was also there, and Song Jiu was surprised and delighted to meet someone who knew how to do it. "I don't know how the lady calculated it, please ask me."

Xi Daomao took out the manuscript paper of her calculation and handed it to Song Jiu. Song Jiu only read two pages, then put down his hands immediately, and handed his own calculation manuscript to Xi Daomao, and the two sides exchanged views.Song Jiu brought the manuscript paper, which was originally just for show, to show that he was not those clay-legged craftsmen, and acted by experience and intuition, so that the nobleman felt that he was more professional.But now it really comes in handy, Mrs. Xi's is a knowledgable.

"Young lady is not bad. In terms of water power, the most suitable place is indeed three miles away. But today's materials can't support such a large water power. Hardwood will rot and iron will corrode. Even if it is built, it will need long-term maintenance. The cost is too high." Big. The lady has built it once before, so she must know it."

"I'm ashamed to say that the last time I didn't last until the natural wear and tear, I just set up the shelf, and it was washed away by the flood accumulated by the heavy rain."

"It's inevitable that the project will be like this. At least my wife has accumulated experience in work." Song Jiu inherited the inability to speak/uprightness of Wang Lianhua's subordinates, and explained: "The reason why I have been surveying the terrain for so long is that I want to fully experience the four seasons of Cijiang. There is another reason besides the change of the river. The Cijiang River is different from the inland rivers. It is a river with an estuary, which connects to the endless sea. According to the county records, if it is sunny for 30 to [-] days in a row, the sea water will flow up the river. It can reach Zhangting. If it is sunny for [-] days in a row, the sea can reach the transparency of Shangyu. When the sea tide ebbs, the current is full of urgency. The salinity of the river water is high, and the salt and waterlogging of the coastal land will increase again. This is the most important reason why the coastal land cannot be cultivated. The reason for this has nothing to do with the construction of the water spinning wheel, so let’s skip it for now. The important thing is that if it rains continuously and is supported by the tide, it will often be flooded.”

"If the water spinning wheel is built too low, it cannot resist the intrusion of sea water; if it is rainy, the river and sea water will rise sharply together, and the workshop at the foot of the mountain may not be able to survive." There will be casualties.

"Mr. thinks carefully, and everything is done according to Mr.'s wishes." The outsider watched the excitement, and the expert watched the doorway. Xi Daomao himself had studied it, so he naturally knew that Song Jiu's plan was well thought out, and all aspects were considered.It is worthy of being born in Shaofu, built according to his plan, this water spinning wheel can run for at least a hundred years.

Song Jiu bowed and saluted again. The nobles of the master's family did not insist on going their own way, knowing that it would be best to respect the calculated results.

Taking advantage of the dry season in winter, Song Jiu led his team to build six water spinning wheels for Xi Daomao within two months, many of which were made of fine iron instead of wood.Song Jiu patted the expensive fine iron and sighed, "It's a hundred years' work!"

In spring, the first batch of cloth was shipped out from the water spinning workshop.Along with Song Jiu's return journey, they were delivered to Wang Lianhua together.

Thun looked up at these tall water spinning wheels, which stepped up like terraced fields.No, there is a better analogy - cascade hydroelectric power station.The tall water spinning wheel is the most representative thing in the local area, and it is full of mechanical beauty. It is fascinating to walk into the interior. The huge water spinning wheel can drive thirty spindles at a time, and the white spindles rotate quickly, like a flywheel.The yarn is spun into threads, and the weaving is also driven by water power. A large section of cloth is woven at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there is no length limit.The length of a piece of cloth is fixed. Although the cloth produced by the water spinning machine is cut to size according to the regulations, it may be two completely different concepts from making it or not.Water spinning machine spinning and weaving can be completely customized.

Mass production and customization, it broke through two major problems at once.

With the birth of the water spinning wheel, Xi Daomao's manor was also completed, and it was time to move out of Xi's old house.
