Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 521 The Future of the Family
In the small courtyard considered mysterious by the officials, there were actually no cold weapon reform experiments.

There are only one wooden machine after another, most of which have fallen apart. They are defective products of failed experiments, and only a few sporadic two or three are in good condition.

But it is obvious that there are still many flaws in the structure of the parts, which are semi-finished products that are barely usable.

What Yuan Tan really visited or inspected was a tool that was extremely familiar in the eyes of later generations, but definitely no less than a divine tool in the eyes of the great Han people of this era.

The spinning machine...or something more primitive and more complicated than the spinning machine.

It is reasonable to say that this thing will appear in the West after a thousand years, but thanks to Master Qi Hou's blessing, this new machine was successfully launched in the Han Dynasty a thousand years ago.

It played an extremely important role in the historical process of Yuan Tan's previous life, directly promoted the emergence of the first industrial revolution and contributed to the feat of sheep cannibalism.

It's called...

"This one should be called the Ma Jun spinning machine." Yuan Tan watched as Ma Jun stepped on the spinning machine with bundles of tidied wool next to it. The silk thread was successfully produced, and in a very short time, it was wrapped on the sixteen spindles at the rear of the machine.

Ma Jun's face was full of excitement and excitement, especially after hearing that Yuan Tan planned to name the machine after himself.

He even bowed down immediately, bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord, Jun!"

Yuan Tan helped Ma Jun up, and said with a smile: "Sir, there is no need to be polite. Without your help, I am afraid that this machine will take hundreds of years, even if it is not thousands of years old."

What Yuan Tan said made Ma Jun stunned for a while, and finally he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.

Ma Jun couldn't understand why the lord suddenly started talking nonsense.

Although this Ma Jun spinning machine has greatly increased the spinning efficiency by nearly ten times, it is really not difficult to manufacture at its root.

How could it appear after thousands of years?

Yuan Tan looked at Ma Jun who was puzzled, smiled lightly, and said, "Some things are not easy to make, the key is whether anyone has thought of this."

Demand, and only demand is the foundation of promoting the development of productivity.

If there is no demand, no one will think of technological innovation.

The appearance of the spinning machine in the previous life was based on the premise of the flying shuttle.

The so-called flying shuttle sounds quite mysterious.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to add a small wheel to the original shuttle used for spinning, and put it on the original loom.

A chute is added, and springs are placed on both sides of the chute, so that the shuttle can travel back and forth extremely quickly.

Compared with traditional hand-weaving, the speed of the flying shuttle is more than twice as fast, and the weaving efficiency is improved several times, which promotes people's demand for cotton yarn.

This led to the invention of the spinning machine.

But now, Yuan Tan directly used the power in his hands to forcibly promote the innovation of this new technology.

Yuan Tan hasn't researched the flying shuttle yet, not to say how difficult the flying shuttle's technique is.

The main reason is that the development of the shuttle requires the use of springs.

As for the spring, it may seem small, but it actually requires the use of many modern industrial technologies.

As far as Yuan Tan vaguely remembers, the spring that truly conforms to the concept of modernization in later generations will not come out until the eighteenth century at the earliest, that is, more than 1000 years later.

But that doesn't mean there's nothing we can do.

Although there is no spring steel suitable for use now, Yuan Tan knows that the trebuchets and catapults of this era are good.

These big killers that are often used on the battlefield actually use springs, but this spring is not stronger and more durable than the springs of later generations.

If classified, this spring should be classified as a type of original gas spring.

But... Yuan Tan is not in a hurry to develop the flying shuttle.

the reason is simple.

If there is no shuttle and only spinning machines, the aristocratic family will need to use a lot of manpower to weave.

And the future joint breeding plan of the family is not a new way that Yuan Tan came up with for the benefit of the family, it is just a stopgap measure.

If the flying shuttle and the spinning machine were given to the aristocratic family, there was no guarantee that the aristocratic family would not accumulate a stronger force outside the Great Wall, and there would be a mutiny in the northern part of the Great Wall, and the family would be in chaos.

The fun would be great.

Moreover, Yuan Tan sent the aristocratic family to the grassland, firstly to minimize the erosion and exploitation of the low-level people by the aristocratic family, and secondly, to allow the aristocratic family to suppress the alien races on the grassland and resist the invasion of the Xiongnu and Xianbei Wuhuan.

And how to achieve this, just relying on the weapons in hand is not enough.

Don't think that nomads are born to like nomads, this is simply the biggest joke in the world.

If they really like nomadism, why did so many ethnic groups outside the Great Wall request to be included in the Han and Tang Dynasties?

Why did the Han Dynasty have the Southern Huns attached to it?

A stable life is the expectation of the common people. Regardless of the ethnic groups in the north and south, the Han people at the bottom and the grassland herdsmen at the bottom actually all desire a stable life.

At that time, after the aristocratic families entered the grassland driven by Yuan Tan, they would naturally focus on those grassland herdsmen who lack manpower.

Anyway, at that time, it was impossible for them to want the people of the big man, they could only start with the herdsmen.

The tribal leaders who enslaved the herdsmen naturally would not agree, and the outbreak of the war naturally began.

However, what does that have to do with the big Han Qihou?

But the development of the flying shuttle cannot be put on hold here. Yuan Tan patted Ma Jun on the shoulder and said warmly: "After Mr. Ma Jun returns, please set up a spring and flying shuttle project in the General Academy. I will give you the specific requirements." It has been written on the scroll, and you can bring it back with you when you leave."

Although the flying shuttle is useless now, it will definitely be useful after the unification.

The aristocratic family was just a pioneer in governing the grassland. When the aristocratic family and the tribal leaders were defeated, they thought they would take advantage of the stability of the northern border, and they were almost unified.

At that time, he re-entered Saibei to further promote the development of the textile industry and animal husbandry.

The shuttle, as well as the various new technologies after the shuttle, will definitely come in handy.

It's always good to plan ahead.

Ma Jun nodded vigorously, but said with some worry: "Your Majesty, when the next official comes, Mr. Xun Lang will ask the next official to explain to the lord again and again that the Wuhuan people should not be underestimated. If necessary, it is best to call in a new army." Go north to help in the battle, just in case... Is Junhou really not needed?"

Yuan Tan laughed, and said: "Wen Ruo worried too much, sir, don't worry too much, just go back to Xuzhou, mere Wuhuan people don't need new troops to fight, go back quickly."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Tan didn't give Ma Jun another chance to persuade him. With a light push, he sent Ma Jun out of the small courtyard, and he also left the small courtyard.

He's only here for the final inspection, now that the spinning machine is done.

That means that the prerequisites for the planning of letting the aristocratic family rule the grassland as the vanguard army are all mature, and it is natural to go to meet the already impatient guests from Yecheng.
