Chapter seven hundred and thirty fifth hydraulic spinning wheel
"Have you finished complimenting me? Let's get down to business and get in the car. I'm going to Sansi Yamen Road and talk while walking."
Ye An's words gave Qian Tao hope. Ever since he was ostracized by the Qian family, no one had ever spoken to him so politely. Not to mention the people in the Qian family, even people outside the house looked down upon him.
"Thank you so much, Marquis Ye. It's better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders!"
After Qian Tao finished speaking, he boarded Ye An's bullock cart. He was a little surprised by the appearance of the cart. Then he looked around and soon discovered the exquisiteness of the cart.
Ye An did not speak, but looked at Qian Tao up and down while he was looking at the carriage. This person did not seem to be a cunning person, and he was a man of his own heart. This was very important. Although Qian Tao had done things to make things difficult for him, his true nature was
This is the consistent style of the Qian family, and it was also instigated by Qian Hui behind the scenes.
In the final analysis, he is just a pawn of the Qian family, oh, no, it should be said to be an "abandoned piece".
Qian Tao waited carefully at the edge. When he saw Ye An looking at him, he did not dare to speak, but lowered his head more humbly.
The Qian family has reconciled with Ye An, but this does not mean that the Qian family has no resentment. Knowing Ye An's current status in the Tian family, Qian Weiyan took Qian Huiyuan out and fled largely because of the Tian family's resentment.
own punishment.
This year Qian Weiyan planned to plead with Liu E and return to Tokyo again, so he spared no effort to please Liu E.
After all, he is also the uncle-in-law of Liu E's brother Liu Mei, and is a full-fledged relative. Now that Liu E has gained power and has control over the Song Dynasty, Qian Weiyan should benefit from it.
Qian Tao was desperate and his family was willing to accept him in Tokyo because he had no money, but even the housekeeper didn't want to see him.
He was proficient in instruments and good at strange skills, which was always criticized and ostracized by the Qian family. They thought that he was not a scholar and would never have a literary background, so they sent him to Yangcheng County as a shopkeeper.
But Qian Tao just liked these things. Later he learned that it was called gewu, and Ye An mentioned gewu many times in Tokyo and vigorously promoted it.
So Qian Tao came up with this bold idea. Since he was already a street rat in the Qian family, he might as well join Ye An!
The exclusion and humiliation he received in the Qian family left him alone. Now Qian Tao also came to Ye An with the mentality of giving it a try. He who had no hope at first became more confident after seeing Ye An's attitude.
Some confidence.
Equipment... no, the charm of the object is fascinating, or it is impossible to get started, but once you get started, you will be deeply involved and unable to extricate yourself.
After Ye An saw at a glance that the blueprint was only half of the drawing, Qian Tao concluded that Ye An was from the same group as him, at least in terms of investigating objects.
Carefully taking out another drawing from his arms and handing it to Ye And said: "Don't be afraid of the Marquis's jokes, this thing is the villain's last fortune. This time I hope that the Marquis will take care of the little one, which means I am risking my life and fortune."
!”
Ye An opened the drawing and was immediately shocked by the painting in front of him. It was a large-scale spinning wheel, but the most important thing was its "power solution".
This huge spinning wheel is completed by a combination of water power and manpower. The large spinning wheel is different from the original spinning wheel. The number of spindles is as many as dozens. It even has a structure specially used to adjust the size of the water power. It is driven by water power and trampled by manpower at the same time.
This kind of lever structure can be used for spinning, which can be the beginning of large-scale spinning.
These characteristics make the large spinning wheel the prototype of later generations of spinning machinery. It can be said that as long as the management is in place, the use is proper, and the operation is skillful, it can already compete with large-scale specialized production!
Ye An took out a pencil from the drawer, made circles on Qian Tao's paper, and then said: "Some parts are not designed properly, for example, the wooden hinge is easy to wear and should be replaced with an iron one, and yours
The lever, oh, the design of the pedal is wrong. The length of the pedal should be extended and the length of the force application should be shortened, so that people can save more effort, and this shuttle..."
As the pencil continued to sketch on the paper, Qian Tao was completely impressed by Ye An's intelligence. The two fell into a conversation, and even inspired each other's thinking.
Even Qian Tao would never have thought that such a day would come, and the spinning wheel on the drawing became more and more perfect after the two people discussed it. Ye An even proposed the idea of parallel spinning wheels.
As long as the water power is sufficient, as long as the adjustment is correct, and as long as the weaver is skilled, this is not a difficult task.
Tieniu on the shaft of the car listened to the conversation in the car with his ears raised. He found that his Marquis seemed to be very interested in Qian Tao's proposal and really planned to take him in.
But I couldn't understand a word of what they were talking about.
Ye An put down the pencil in his hand, wiped off the excess with dough, and watched the writing disappear. Qian Tao looked at the magical pen in Ye An's hand in surprise.
"This is a pencil, with ink color and golden luster. The best thing is that it can be wiped. It is the best for drawing. If you like it, I can give it to you, but you have to tell me the estimated production capacity of this large hydraulic spinning wheel.
.”
Faced with Ye An's question, Qian Tao was stunned for a moment and said: "Ye Hou, what is production capacity?"
"Oh, how much can you spin yarn and linen every day?"
As the instigator, Qian Tao still has his own estimates in this regard. Looking at the perfected drawings, he is confident: "Take hemp spinning as an example. An ordinary spinning wheel can spin up to three kilograms of yarn per day. According to my estimation, a large spinning wheel can spin up to three kilograms of yarn in a day and night."
It spins more than one hundred kilograms. When the spinning season comes, we need enough flax to be satisfied! In other words, with this big spinning wheel, we no longer have to worry about the number of spinning wheels and the weavers required, but instead we have to worry about the lack of spinning materials!"
Ye An nodded with satisfaction. He believed that this thing could indeed do what Qian Tao said. More importantly, he needed this thing now.
This large water conservancy spinning wheel integrates spinning and weaving, saving almost all the time and cost. Of course, the amount of labor required also increases.
But this increase is only on one piece of equipment, which is equivalent to transferring the labor from several previous pieces of equipment here, and also reducing it a lot. Under the same output, the large water conservancy spinning wheel requires less labor and is more efficient.
"You are a talented person who studies objects. I wonder if you are interested in the study of objects..."
Before Ye An could finish speaking, Qian Tao grabbed the drawing and said: "Master Hou, please see clearly, this is what Qian Tao has in mind, and he has spent more than ten years working on it. How could he have such perseverance if he didn't focus on the investigation of objects?"
?!
The idea came to him because his mother was spinning day and night to support the family. Qian Tao was young and ignorant and wanted to save labor for his mother. Unexpectedly, even so, he was still not welcomed by the Qian family and was eventually sent to Yangcheng County to work as a steward.
But in the past ten years, Qian Tao couldn't stop. Some of the joints were made with my own hand. If the Marquis was willing to take Qian Tao in and provide my mother with food and clothing, Qian Tao would have been with the Marquis.
Focus on studying things here!"
This was considered a pledge of honor, and even his mother's willingness to take it showed his determination. Ye An chuckled and said: "Okay, since you have such thoughts, I won't care about the past grudges, but you have to know this move.
It’s a break with the Qian family.”
"Break up? Hey... Ye Hou still really values Qian Tao's status in the Qian family. I'm afraid my father would have died if I took my mother away, and the Qian family wouldn't care. They would be surprised that I voted for you."
Ye An smiled bitterly. It really was true. This guy was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. He came here because of his reputation as an expert. Of course, his confidence in his invention was also indispensable.
