Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 159 Longevity
Big spinning wheel.

Qin Wangzheng stared at the new tool brought by Xiao Zhinu from another world, and at the same time clicked on the system prompt.

[Large spinning wheel: used in textile technology, weaving clothes on the loom frame, shaking the loom to weave]

The structure of the large spinning wheel can be divided into three parts: twisting and winding, transmission and prime mover.

The twisting and winding part is composed of frame, spindle, yarn guide rod, yarn frame and other parts. The 32 spindles are basically driven by the principle of pedal spinning wheel, and the collective transmission of ropes is used to drive the rotation.

The transmission part is composed of a transmission spindle and a transmission yarn frame, which are the main parts for twisting and winding hemp.

The prime mover is a large round wheel, and a crank is also installed at the end of the wheel axle for rotation, which requires a dedicated person to use both hands to crank it.

The King of Qin ordered Zhao Gao to shake the textile loom. The machine made a violent roar, and Zhao Gao was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Immediately, Qin Wangzheng ordered people to take out the pedal textile machine, and when the two machines were compared, the gap was revealed.

The large spinning wheel only needs to be gently shaken by hand to spin, but the pedal spinning machine requires laborious pedaling.

The weaving efficiency of the large spinning wheel is several times higher than that of the pedal loom.

Pedal spinning wheels can spin up to three catties of yarn per day, while large spinning wheels can spin hundreds of catties a day and night. When weaving, we need to concentrate many hemp to meet its production capacity. It is suitable for large-scale production, and its production efficiency is not lower than modern Western Jenny spinning. spinning machine.

Qin Wangzheng was very pleased, with an indelible smile on his face, he said lightly: "If the spinning wheel is pushed to the whole country, wouldn't it be possible for the Daqin handicraft industry to grow by leaps and bounds?"

The senior eunuchs of Zhao congratulated Qin Wangzheng one after another, and were happy to get something that would benefit the country and the people.

Therefore, King Qin Zhengxuan called Zhi Su Neishi into the palace and was responsible for promoting the big spinning wheel.

Zhi Su Neishi frowned at the beginning, but after demonstrating it himself, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty, this thing is so ingenious. If it is popularized, Daqin's textile technology will be improved step by step!"

The next day, Zhi Su Neishi experimented with textile machines around Xianyang City. After seeing it, the people were amazed at how labor-saving and time-saving the machine was, and the low price. They rushed to buy it and take it home to lighten the burden on their wives.

Qin Wangzheng also ordered craftsmen in all counties to build large spinning wheels according to the structure on the parchment, benefiting the people, and let the large spinning wheels spread to thousands of households to replace pedal looms.

In this way, the whole country quickly got busy.

A large spinning wheel is enough to weave a village.

Therefore, the county only needs to build ten large spinning wheels to meet the needs of the people.

Every household also stopped their weaving work, and transported hemp and silk to the county government for the big spinning wheel to weave, and they could directly pay for it the next day.

The efficiency has been increased by three times, and many craftsmen had a whim, thinking that manual shaking is too complicated and consumes more energy, so they combined the principle of the keel waterwheel to transform a large hydraulic spinning wheel.

That is to say, the prime mover of the large hydraulic spinning wheel and the bamboo wheel on the left side of the large spinning wheel are connected by a wooden shaft. When the water of the river continuously hits the spokes on the wooden wheel, the water wheel rotates, which also drives the bamboo wheel to rotate accordingly. Get the big spinning wheel running.

In this way, the whole country quickly became busy. After the people got the spinning wheel, they praised Qin Wangzheng, the sage and benevolence, and more recognized Qin Wangzheng and the Great Qin Empire.

Zhangtai Palace.

Qin Wangzheng is also very pleased, the little childish slave has done me a big favor again!

Slowly unfolding the map of Baili in front of him, after more than ten years of hard work, one task after another has been completed, and Qin Wangzheng's inner sense of accomplishment is overwhelming.

Li Si also raised his wine glass to congratulate Qin Wangzheng.

The two let go of the relationship between superiority and inferiority, and talked and laughed happily.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wangzheng turned his head and asked suddenly: "Li Si, what do you think of me?"

Qin Wangzheng took a light breath, with bulging veins on his forehead, and looked straight at Li Si, as if waiting for his answer.

After Li Si heard the words, he was frightened, frowning and grimacing.

If the answer is not good, the head may move.
Li Si held his breath and said heavily.

"Suppressing the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns, achieving great achievements for thousands of years!"

Li Si respected Qin Shihuang very much, and the achievements of Qin Wangzheng can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

Li Si said what he thought in his heart, Qin Wangzheng is "one emperor through the ages".

After hearing this, Qin Wangzheng asked with an expression on his face: "Am I really that powerful?"

His heavy expression made Li Si feel uneasy, and a sense of oppression from a generation of emperors made Li Si suffocate.

Li Si gritted his teeth in horror, and said heavily: "All mountains and rivers will be harvested, and the world will be unified; the enfeoffment will be abolished, and counties will be established."

"Fight the Xiongnu in the north and conquer the Baiyue in the south; build the Great Wall and dredge water conservancy."

"Create a monarchy and unify the law; there is no one before, and no one to come after."

The sound was louder than another wave, enough to set off a tall building.

Qin Wangzheng was very satisfied with this evaluation, and there was a trace of joy on the corner of his mouth, and the veins on his forehead disappeared.

I have worked hard all my life for this empire.

I wasted time on the people, wasted money, imposed extortionate taxes, and finally spent several years realizing the dream of unification.

Unifying the six kingdoms, the world became one; I defended the territory and opened up borders, wiped out the barbarians, and finally realized my ambition.

However, Qin Wangzheng also faced new problems. After 28 years, he is 41 years old.

This age is just middle-aged now, but in an era when the average age was less than thirty, it was already old age.

Qin Wangzheng looked vicissitudes, as if he had seen through the world, his temples were gradually graying, his eyes were full of powerlessness, and he said slowly: "But all this is just a passing moment!"

"After I died, the land I conquered, the beauties in the harem, and the people of Daqin all vanished into thin air!"

"More than forty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I have not enjoyed the blessings, so I will die forever!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Si's legs softened, his eyes darkened, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, Ji Shou said: "The Great Qin Dynasty is eternal, Your Majesty's longevity is longer than Nanshan, how can you drive the crane east?"

Qin Wangzheng laughed.His eyes were like knives, and his tone was as cold as ice: "These words are for the common people, Li Si, you should know it!"

But Li Si still pretended to be confused, and said: "Eight appearances are in the same style, and the great unification of China will be opened. Your Majesty, as one emperor through the ages, has virtue and three emperors, surpassing the five emperors with outstanding achievements. He will surely live a long life like Peng Zu." !”

Daqin's country has been fixed, and Li Si assisted Qin Wangzheng to move towards the commanding heights step by step.

But when the birds are gone, the good bow hides the cunning rabbit and the running dog cooks.Li Si also had no use value.

This banquet seems to be to thank Li Si, but in fact it is no different from the Hongmen Banquet.

If Li Si says something wrong, he may be sent to Yunzhong Prison like Han Fei, or exiled to Bashu like Lu Buwei.

Qin Wangzheng smiled indifferently, and said straight to the point: "Peng Zu is only [-] years old, how can this little time be enough? What I want is eternal life, will the prime minister know the way of longevity?"

Li Si shook his head, but slowly said: "Your Majesty, my minister's ability is limited, but there are all kinds of wonders in the world. Why doesn't Your Majesty travel around the world to find the way of longevity?"
