Chapter 736 Moisturizing things silently

.I thought about it all the way, and before I knew it, I arrived at Shipi Lane. I silently stopped the carriage and walked down for a while. The earth-shaking changes in front of him made him wonder if he had been here. In his memory, it was ragged and crowded, and the ground was bumpy. If it rained, the ground would be muddy and there was no way to get involved.

But now, his feet are paved with gravel, with a wide and flat road, and he noticed that the ridge is slightly higher than both sides, obviously to facilitate the discharge of water into the river. This design doesn't matter even if it rains heavily.

Looking at the sides of the street, under the willows, there are rows of exquisite garden buildings. Although they cannot compare to those gardens that cover several acres, they are surrounded by rivers and the fragrance of water and orchids; the exquisite buildings are the most suitable for Zhongyin. After all, there are still a few real big families. For most wealthy people, it is already a dream to have such a small villa in Suzhou City.

Walking in this newly built urban area, I saw that there were gorgeous car sedans, with decent people sitting in it. Even the servants and the grooms driving the car were dressed appropriately and cleanly. It was obvious that this once shanty town had been completely occupied by the rich.

This awareness made Chen Si feel more sad while delighting at the change. He knew that the poor people who originally lived here and grew up here had moved outside the city to live, where they regained a house and continued their lives. No matter how much compensation was, it would not change the fact that they were expelled from the city; and with the application of a technology, the textile factory would gradually move from the city to the countryside, and they would not even have the chance to enter the city during the day.

The rich and prosperous paradise on earth is only a paradise for those with wealth and power after all, but it keeps the poor from all surnames..."

Silence exhaled a long breath of turbid air. His pain was that his conscience had not been destroyed, but he had to force himself to do something he thought was right but knew bad. What was even more painful was that such things would be repeated, and they would leave a scar on his heart every time, until they were unrecognizable and numb…”

This low mood finally disappeared after seeing the granite stone carved by Suzhou Institute of Technology and five large regular characters. This huge stone, which was more than five feet high and eight feet long, was paid out of his own pocket and ordered people to transport it from Rongshan, Shandong. The cost was high, but he just liked it. He wanted to use this foundation stone to commemorate the first school he built.

"I really hope there will be a good result." Chen Si bought into the Institute of Technology with anticipation, but who knew that what greeted him was a wake-up call.

The black gate of the Institute of Technology was closed tightly. There were also noises of fighting in the courtyard wall. Sanchi quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, there seems to be a fight inside!" As he said that, a guard climbed up to the wall with numbness and sharp legs. After looking for a while, he came down and replied, "It's amazing, it's all a pot of porridge."

"Call the door!" The silent face looked very unfair.

Gui Youguang, who was accompanying him, felt even more depressed. What happened? He insisted on causing trouble at this time? He quickly ordered people to summon soldiers to take the accident. At the same time, he asked someone to go to the za door and said to the silent: "I don't know what's going on inside. Please go back to the car and take a rest first."

Silent and dark-faced, he ignored him.

"Open the door, open the door", the soldiers kept the door louder, but no one paid attention to it, and they still let someone climb over the wall and opened the courtyard door from inside.

As soon as the door opened, soldiers wearing brown leather armor rushed in with iron chains and sticks, shouting: "Don't move, you can squat on the ground with your head in your arms!" Then, no matter how innocent they were, they would all fall to the ground.

Seeing more and more officials coming in, both parties fighting in the yard finally stopped and obediently squatted down with their heads as required by the officials.

Before he could calm down inside, he strode in. Gui Youguang wanted to stop him, but he pushed him away.

Walking into the messy yard, I saw the stone table and chairs being pushed down, the ground was covered with paper and damaged teaching aids. When I was silent, I saw two wooden couplets being turned over to the ground. I squatted down with heartache and wanted to help them up.

Sanchi saw it and quickly stepped forward to help, and with two guards, he lifted the two sills.

In silence, he saw the words above: "Don't leave the ri, and make the innate and unpainted front." In the lower right corner of the back piece, there was a line of small words written: "Wang Jinjing recorded the Dharma teachings of Masters and the ancestors." He couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out to be given by the head of the Taizhou School.

Who is Wang Jin? Who is Wang Gen's son? Who is Wang Gen? Wang Yangming..." The only one who passed on the robe and mantle was the main school of Wang Xue, the founder of the Taizhou School, and the most famous master after Yangming Gong.

Wang Ce was called the head of the Taizhou School, not just because of his blood relationship. When he was nine years old, he followed his father Wang Jin to worship Wang Shouren. He studied for more than ten years and was called the purest descendant of Wang Xue. Later, he followed his father to Huainan. When his father died, his stepfather gave a lecture. He traveled to and from all over the country. He was famous for his extensive knowledge and fearlessness, and even in the era when Wang Xue was forbidden, he did not retreat and gave up his lectures, which greatly encouraged Wang Xue's disciples in the low tide: he also ran and called for more than ten years to seek the legal status of Wang Xue.

This difficult sect won a high reputation for Wang Lie. Even if a believer in the Neo-Confucian school should give him a thumbs up when he mentions his name; not to mention that within Wang Xue, no matter which sect, he will regard him as the leader. If the Niu Er in the cultural world is controlled by Wang Shizhen, he is definitely a giant who holds Niu Er in the ideological world.

At this time, the yard was basically quiet. Gui Youguang stepped forward to ask for instructions. Shen Si carefully wiped one of the couplets with his sleeves, and asked softly: "Where is Lord Ouyang?"

"In the warehouse." Sanchi whispered: "No hair was hurt."

"Please come to see me." The silent mood relaxed. As long as the old Ouyang was fine, nothing was a big deal. He paused and said, "Forget it, I'll go in person."

"I dare not ask you to do anything." A voice full of energy came from the gate of the northeast corner. Looking in silence, I saw an old man with silver beard, rosy face and tall figure walking towards him.

Seeing that Ouyang Bijin was not injured, he smiled silently and bowed to the end and said, "Sir, you are frightened."

Ouyang Bijin said with shame: "I didn't look forward to your home."

"As long as people are fine, it's fine." Silent smiled.

"People are really fine." Ouyang Bijin said: "As soon as I started to fight, I let those technicians run away from the back door, and you came in time..."

"This is a coincidence." said silently: "I didn't know in advance, I just wanted to come and have a look."

"It can be seen that the sky should not be lost." Ouyang Bijin was aged to know that the sky was obedient to fate. He smiled and said, "It's too messy ahead, let's sit in the warehouse." He heard the old man's invitation, Gui Youguang and others had a strange expression. He thought to himself, how could anyone invite someone to drink tea in the warehouse?

I was silent but knew that people who were obsessed with scientific research often neglected to deal with others, so I didn't realize that there was anything, so I walked side by side with Old Ouyang to the backyard.

"Who is causing trouble here?" Chen Si asked softly.

"Oh..." Ouyang Bijin sighed without saying a word.

"Why cause trouble?" Chen Si asked again.

"Hey" Ouyang Bijin rubbed his head in distress and muttered, "I'll know when I'm here."

Silence had to stuff the questions back into his stomach.

Although the architectural style of Suzhou Institute of Technology has not yet broken away from the traditional category, it has already been made of a rich color and consists of five courtyards. The first entrance is the teaching ground, and the temple of the Patriarch is enshrined in the middle. The plaque is enshrined by Lu Ban and Mo Zhai, who are students who teach skills. It is of course reasonable to serve the ancestors of these two craftsmen.

The second and third entry are all the same regulations. On both sides of the middle passage, there are a row of long teaching rooms, with foundation tiles and bamboo joints generally separated. Chen Mo went in and took a look. It was much less than the classrooms in later generations. There were no blackboards and only a small podium. The conditions for studying and studying were even more difficult, and there were only benches and tables in each room, which was obviously for more people to sit.

There is no problem with sixty or seventy people sitting in a classroom. Ouyang Bijin told Chen Mo that in a place like Suzhou where every inch of land is valuable, it can only be done in this way.

He nodded silently. He didn't care so much or so intricately. If this form really worked, the fireworks would naturally be high and prosperous, and the better and better. If it was really not suitable for this year's generation, it would only be an unsuccessful attempt. It seemed that the riots outside just now had a great blow to his confidence.

The fourth entry is the teaching room of various operations, and you can see it in silence, such as silk room, imitation yarn room, weaving room, silk room, jacquard room, etc. Cotton spinning and silk room each occupy half of the country, but there are almost no other industries to see.

"At present, only these two courses are offered." Ouyang Bijin said: "It is mainly because of the location. The factory in Suzhou is either cotton imitation or silk weaving. Moreover, these two industries require the most people and the workers have the highest income." He said with a self-deprecating smile: "I am now talking about my income."

"Isn't this the people-oriented and thought?" said Silently, "As long as you can make the surname Bai support yourself, live a good life, what's the difference between farming and workmanship?"

"Haha, you can talk," Ouyang Bijin smiled and said. Sometimes it was funny to think about it. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty was fooled by this kid and voluntarily resigned. Then he came to work for him in vain. A strange man like himself would probably never find a second one.

But in the final analysis, it was not because he was willing, otherwise who could force him to do it? Ouyang Bijin was a parent for a long time and knew that life was not easy for a hundred surnames, and he always wanted to help them. Especially when he was the governor of Yunyang, the land was poor, and the bandits were rampant, and the life of the hundred surnames was very difficult. Otherwise, the court would not set up a governor in a government place. However, he found that with his own strength, he could not move the heavy burden of taxes, labor, government oppression, and elderly care.

Amidst his distress and self-blame, he happened to encounter rinderpest under his control, and a large number of oxen died of illness. Seeing that spring plowing was about to be imminent, the surname Bai Yi was so anxious that he was overwhelmed with pressure, and finally gathered on Ouyang Bijin at that time.

Usually when encountering this kind of problem, officials will continue to push up. Anyway, it is a natural disaster and they don’t have any responsibility. Please exempt the court from taxes and ask the province for relief. But Ouyang Bijin didn’t do this. He usually likes to do something and is good at thinking that if the cow dies and cannot plow the land, can he find a way to replace it?

He thought of an ancient book that seemed to be an introduction to human farming machine, and he really found it. However, the traditional characteristics of Chinese Chinese characters are that they are simple and vague, and it is difficult to copy them according to the gourd. But at this moment, Ouyang Bijin, with a few hundred words of description, created a very practical man-made farming machine with a few old craftsmen. Once the experiment was conducted, the effect was excellent. He immediately made every effort to create thousands of products to help the Baiqian people through the crisis.

After great success, he improved it several times and promoted it to many places. Moreover, due to its victory and efficiency, many places no longer rely on oxen plowing, which greatly reduced production costs and improved the lives of Baiyi's surname.

Ouyang Bi went in and found that there was another way, that is, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Oh! Help Baiyi create a handy production tool to improve production efficiency. If you can't save money, you can open up the source. Of course, Baiyi's surname can live a better life.

Since then, he has plunged into Ming Dynasty research, and his interest in technology has passed the pursuit of career. This is the real reason why he was able to come to Suzhou.

But this time, it was his own secret to the trouble..."

Ouyang Bijin brought Shen Mo to the last one. This was his office, library, and warehouse in the courtyard. He used to stay at Suzhou Research Institute, but the courtyard was on the mountain above twenty miles outside the city. Now it was a place where people were invented. The old man couldn't bear it. He asked to bring all the bottles and jars and do his research in the free warehouse.

What he wants to show to Shen Mo is one of his achievements, flowing.

When the warehouse door opened, the machine with a strange appearance appeared in front of Shen Mo. According to Ouyang Bijin, it was a spinning machine for spinning: but Shen Mo felt that this iron lump was like a tool for popcorn...

Shen Mo still knows the textile industry very well, after all, it is Suzhou's pillar industry.

The raw materials for silk and cloth are silk cocoons and cotton, but they cannot be used directly. Silk cocoons must pass through silk to become raw silk for spinning; and cotton must also be twisted together and imitated into thread or yarn, so that they can be used to weave cloth. The spinning machine is a machine used to turn cotton processed through rods, elastics and other processes into yarn.

Shen Mo knew that the current general spinning machine is also Huang Daopu Ming’s three-spinned spinning wheel, which can spin three yarns at the same time. It is very amazing. Before this, spinning was done by hand. Even if you want to find one, it is very difficult for people to spin two yarns at the same time. The three-spinning wheel not only improves work efficiency, but also increases output, greatly promoting the development of Susong cotton spinning industry.

But now the three-spinning wheel has become a hindering the development of the industry. Especially in recent years, when workers have improved the looms to make weaving more efficient and faster, the demand for yarn chains has exceeded the supply. After all, the degree of spinning three and three-strands is still too slow.

In addition, foreign merchants have also begun to go beyond silk, and a large number of cotton cloths that are cheaper and more suitable for civilian use. A large number of orders have poured into various cotton spinning factories, but the factory owners are facing the dilemma of putting rice into pots without rice.

It was then that Suzhou Design Institute opened, and the famous Ouyang Bijin was in charge. The giants of the cotton spinning industry were overjoyed and came to Shangfangshan with thick silver notes to ask for help in improving the spinning machine. For this reason, they did not hesitate to do anything.

Ouyang Bijin also hoped that the design institute would become a hit, so he commissioned to concentrate his efforts on the transformation of the spinning machine. Among them, silence played a great role in his simple physics and geometry textbooks, especially his understanding of mechanics, which made him work like a tiger. Finally, it took two years to develop such a machine.

Ouyang Bi named it "Walking Clouds and Flowing Water" It can be seen that he is still very satisfied.

Facing such a thing, silence is actually a dark look. He doesn't understand the principles and structures at all. Every time he is at this point, he will feel deeply guilty and think that I just want to study science and engineering before..."

However, he could see the actual effect... Ouyang Bijin asked someone to show him that he filled the bulleted cotton in one cylinder, and then, while rotating the iron cylinder, he pulled up a small part of the cotton in the cylinder, and the cotton yarn was pulled out continuously. It was indeed quite fast, and the texture of the thread pulled out was even, which was no less than that made by skilled workers using traditional methods.

"But..." Chen Silent said softly: "I can't see how much improvement is?"

"This is just part of the entire spinning machine." Ouyang Bijin's eyes emitted light and said, "If you connect hundreds of such things with a few linkage rods and then drive them with a water truck, do you still feel that there is no improvement?"

"………………segmentation………………"

Alas, as we all know, I am not good at these things, but since it is changing history, these simple and accessible things cannot be avoided. Although it is already an understatement, if you don’t want to be laughed at, you still have to study hard. I have learned the history of cotton and silk weaving from scratch these two days, and even dreaming is the buzzing of the textile machine.
