Chapter 8 The birth of the riding shuttle loom!

Zhu Zhanyong was unhappy.

The father doesn't even dare to see the emperor now, maybe it's because he is from another generation. The emperor dotes on his brother Zhu Zhanji, but is extremely strict with his father.

Not to mention that he can stand firmly, his father's feet are not stable, so it seems that there is no hope for his father.

Come out of the East Palace and go straight to Kunning Palace.

Zhu Zhanyong asked the old eunuch to make an announcement, and the old eunuch sang softly: "Your Majesty, the Third Emperor and the Sun are here."

At this moment, in Kunning Palace, Queen Xu, who was sitting high in the main hall and accompanied by palace maids on both sides, looked happy. She looked up and saw Zhu Zhanyong with clear eyes. She stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "How long has it been since you came to see me?

Already?"

Zhu Zhanyong walked up to Queen Xu and said obediently: "Sun Chen pays his respects to the Queen's grandmother."

Empress Xu caressed Zhu Zhanyong's shoulder and said softly: "I heard that you drew a picture of a ship for Zheng He. He has grown taller and grown up."

Empress Xu would not say anything bad about them, just like there was Yan and Ci in the family, Zhu Di was a stern person in front of his children and grandchildren, while Empress Xu was a kind person.

Queen Xu is very kind to her children and grandchildren.

Regardless of whether she is a concubine or a legitimate descendant, if she just comes to greet Empress Xu, she may encounter Zhu Di, so the emperor's grandsons will not dare to come to greet her. This is the case with the original person.

Zhu Zhanyong sat obediently next to Queen Xu: "Grandma Huang, I want to learn archery. Is there anyone with good archery skills in the court?"

Zhu Zhanji was raised by Empress Xu herself, and since Zhu Zhanyong looks a bit like Zhu Zhanji, Empress Xu's feelings for him are naturally somewhat different: "How is Wu Kangbo and Xu Li?"

Queen Xu's surname was Xu, so she subconsciously thought of him.

"Wu Kangbo is so old that he has trouble pulling the bow. He is not as good as the Marquis of Xincheng."

The longer Zhu Zhanyong lingered, the more Empress Xu understood, so she decided to get straight to the point. Xu Li was a general during the Hongwu period, and he probably wouldn't be alive for a few more years.

Empress Xu stopped stroking Zhu Zhanyong's back, and her face seemed to be filled with hesitation: "The Marquis of Xincheng."

Empress Xu, who had experienced the difficulties of founding the country, was different from the concubines in the palace. She knitted clothes and grew vegetables for the soldiers, comforted them, and followed Zhu Di all the way south.

Just like when Empress Ma helped Zhu Yuanzhang found the country.

Although she often lives in the harem, the situation in the DPRK is clear. Since the first year of Yongle, the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government have been competing for the sake of the country. Empress Xu looked calm, thought for a moment, and then raised her head: "I will talk to Your Majesty about this matter."

Zhu Zhanyong saw a loom placed in Kunning Palace.

If you want to pass on the virtues of virtue and thrift to the people of the world, weaving is the best example. Therefore, Queen Xu likes weaving the most.

It's just that the efficiency of this loom is very low. Queen Xu's waist is not good, but she often sits in front of the loom all day long. She suffers from backache all year round.

Zhu Zhanyong felt a little sorry for her. He thought of the creation of heaven, so he thought about improving it.

After coming out of Kunning Palace, passing by the side hall, I saw Zhang Xi sneaking around, hiding under the imperial steps and waving to him:

"Brother, you finally came out..."

Zhu Zhanyong was displeased: "Who is your eldest brother?"

Zhang Xi looked at Zhu Zhanyong without a blushing face and his heart didn't beat. Isn't this obvious?

Zhu Zhanyong sighed and looked at him: "Is your nephew's illness not getting better?"

Zhang Min grinned and smiled: "It's getting better. Didn't I say that I will follow you, big brother? I'm here to fulfill my promise." After speaking, he blinked and looked at Zhu Zhanyong seriously.

"Oh, that's it."

A loom is not cheap. He didn't want Empress Xu to know about it before it was made. This would double the surprise. Zhu Zhanyong looked at Zhang Shi.

"Can you get me a loom?"

"I have it at my eldest brother's house. Brother, please wait." After Zhang Xi said this, he ran out of the palace.

Half an hour later, when Zhu Zhanyong arrived at Xizhimen, he saw the guards stopping a loom. Zhu Zhanyong said it was for Empress Xu, and the guards were willing to let it go.

Zhang Xi was sent to Zhu Zhanyong's small courtyard. He was out of breath after being tortured: "Brother, why do you want this thing?"

"Call Your Highness."

"Oh, Your Highness." Zhang Min looked at Zhu Zhanyong angrily, and then asked with innocent eyes: "Brother, why do you want this thing?"

Zhu Zhanyong ignored him.

After carefully looking at the loom, the silk can be used as warp and weft threads after being wound on the loom. Queen Xu sat on the brocade stool, which would cause strain over time.

Zhu Zhanyong once again extracted Si's ability, [Tiangong Creation], and the familiar feeling returned to him, and now nuclear bombs can be rubbed out for you.

Look again,

This is a Hualou loom.

The style is a bit old. There are two weaving swing bars in the middle of the loom, and two wooden sticks are connected back and forth. When the warp threads are passed through the heddles, it requires four people to operate, which is too time-consuming.

Add a shuttle?

The shuttle can rebound quickly when it hits the bottom, and moves at high speed on the track, which requires two pulley tracks covering the longitude and latitude, four smooth wheels, and two powerful shrapnel.

But how difficult is it?

Although she can rub nuclear bombs with her hands, she doesn't need it now. Queen Xu often sits in the harem for a long time and needs exercise.

Zhu Zhanyong decided to change the power device to a sports device.

Let Zhang Jiu go to the imperial prison to find tools. The imperial prison is in charge of many wooden objects such as screens and beds in the palace. Sometimes they need to be repaired, so there are carpentry tools.

Zhu Zhanyong removed the sliding rod for throwing the shuttle.

Under his guidance.

Thus, the first riding shuttle loom of the Ming Dynasty was born!

………

Kunning Palace,

Returning from the kitchen to prepare the royal meal, Empress Xu saw the unwoven cloth being removed from the loom.

She had been weaving this piece of cloth for three days, intending to make an obscene garment for Zhu Di, but now, the threads were tangled together, and it was obvious that she could no longer weave it.

"Who tampered with my loom!" Queen Xu's beautiful eyes were filled with a frown.

"It's His Highness Zhan Yong. He said he wanted to replace the loom for the empress, but as I know... the threads were messed up when they were removed, so His Highness Zhan Yong ran away." Gong E said in a crisp voice.

"This...is this a loom?"

Queen Xu looked closely, and she was surprised to find that she didn't recognize the machine in front of her at all.

"Yes, this is the seat and this is the pedal for riding. His Highness Zhan Yong said that this is the best loom in the world. He was afraid that the Queen would have to work hard, so the slave girl just tried it." Gong E suppressed her excitement.

The voice even seemed to look down on Queen Xu.

Empress Xu was doubtful, so she sat down and pulled out a thin silk thread, threading it through the woven buckle. The maid followed Zhu Zhanyong's instructions and threaded the thread through the shuttle.

Queen Xu sat on the seat, her posture was a bit strange, she stepped on her feet without exerting much force, it was very relaxed, and the confusion on her face was gradually replaced by surprise.

I saw the shuttle flying back and forth quickly!

It was many times faster than throwing a shuttle. As she pedaled faster and faster, afterimages of the shuttle even appeared. Her feet were numb after sitting for a long time. But sitting on this loom, her body actually felt stretched. As time passed by,

, a small square piece of cloth gradually took shape.

Queen Xu's face lost its previous dignity: "This... was this done by Zhan Yong?"

"Yes, His Highness Zhan Yong said that the empress sat in front of the loom for too long and easily got sick. Using this loom can make the phoenix body healthy. His Highness Zhan Yong also prepared a pair of foot bags, saying that it can make the phoenix's body healthy.

The feet are as long and beautiful as the jade legs of a Bihua girl." Gong E took out her long silk stockings.

Empress Xu's pretty face was slightly red. She and Zhu Di were both over fifty. She felt strange that Zhu Zhanyong was ignorant, but she still took over the long silk stockings.

The first thing that comes to mind is Zhu Zhanyong dismantling a loom. At her age, all she wants is for all future generations to be respectful and kind.

Immediately, it was the effect of this loom on mulberry farmers all over the world.

"Quickly... call your Majesty!" Queen Xu responded immediately.

The owner of this advanced loom, Zhu Zhanyong, was walking in the palace corridor.

After delivering the loom, he walked back to his residence.

I made this advanced loom, which should have been available in the late Ming Dynasty. Si lived in the late Ming Dynasty. Although he didn't know that I knew that he lived in the late Ming Dynasty, I am certain that he lived in the late Ming Dynasty.

It seems like there is a feeling in the heart.

Si: "I saw the flying shuttle loom you made below. The cloth weaved is neater, stronger and glossier. Unfortunately, it has not been widely circulated yet."

Zhu Zhanyong wondered: "Why?"

Four: "The imperial court imposed a very high silk tax, and most of the mulberry, hemp, and land in the south of the Yangtze River were owned by the gentry. The gentry controlled the loom, and it was easy for the common people to use it."

Isn't this making Lao Zhu angry? Zhu Zhanyong was really afraid that he would regret it, so he kicked Zhu Di.

Zhu Zhanyong laughed dryly: "Grandpa, don't be angry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang kept his voice calm.

1: "These bastards."

Zhu Zhanyong sighed, knowing clearly that advanced production means were in the hands of a few people, and this would not change in any dynasty.

He calmed down.

Zhang Jiu came in quickly: "Your Highness, the eunuch from Fengtian Palace is here!"

Fengtian Palace...does Grandpa Huang know?
