The next day, before noon, when Qingcang was processing official documents, a guard came to inform: "Report to the commander, Minister Wang is in the west of the city and asks you to come over."
He said to himself: "Oh, so fast?
There are still a few hours before the one-day appointment.
Wang Zongwei has really made a big hydraulic spinning wheel."
It happened that Wu You also came to the door.
"I want to report to the commander about the purchase of ramie fabrics."
As soon as he finished speaking, he happened to see Qing Cang going out, and the two almost bumped into each other.
"Oh, we'll talk about it later.
Come with me to the west gate of the city."
He led Wu You to the west of the city without any explanation.
Along the way, when people saw him, they all paid attention to him and some people even walked in to greet him, which showed how popular he was in the city.
He was so used to it that he just waved his hand at people's enthusiasm.
As the large group of people continued to advance, they finally arrived at the moat in the west of the city.
At this time, the place was already full of people.
When people saw Qing Cang's appearance, they immediately moved out of the way.
At this moment, people who were eating melons immediately discovered Qingcang himself, and someone shouted: "Look, it's the Lord of the City."
"I heard that Minister Wang is going to show something amazing today."
"Isn't it?
Even the city lord was alarmed.
You can see how powerful this thing is."
"Do you know what it is?"
"I just heard the tailors talking about using water to spin yarn."
"How can it be that water is just water?
How can it be turned into yarn?
You heard it wrong."
"That's right, they told me personally."
Qing Cang heard the words of these people.
Every time he made a change or issued an order, it would quickly spread throughout Huaxia City.
Some time ago, the household registration policy he asked Xiahoulan to implement was supported by many people.
At the same time, taxes were also collected smoothly.
These are all inseparable from his influence.
With an order, the whole city will know.
I wonder, who else doesn't?
Dare to obey and pay taxes "Let's go, Minister Wang is right there."
Qingcang got off his horse and walked towards the dam.
At this time, Wang Zongwei was surrounded by a large number of people, all of whom were his subordinates.
He was debugging a huge spinning wheel.
On one side of it was a huge The water wheel is rolling with the current.
Next to Wang Zongwei were the tailors from yesterday.
At this time, they were looking at the huge spinning wheel with surprised eyes.
“This is really useful” "So many spindles" "I don't believe it can be used.
You can see how big it is.
It's completely different from our spinning wheel."
How could these tailors believe that Wang Zongwei could complete a spinning wheel that had been passed down for thousands of years in one day?
Meanwhile, everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Commander, you are here" As soon as Wang Zongwei saw Qing Cang, he stepped forward to greet him.
Qinghua asked as soon as they met: "The big water-powered spinning wheel has been built."
"Yes, I mobilized five hundred people to design the structure in one night, and designed ten units in total.
This one is the most efficient one.
It has about fifty spindles.
It is driven by water power and can adapt to large For large-scale specialized production, calculations show that taking hemp spinning as an example, a general spinning wheel can spin up to 3 kilograms of yarn per day, while a large spinning wheel can spin more than 300 kilograms a day and night.
This is only the minimum value.
In fact, five hundred kilograms a day is not unreasonable. possible."
Wang Zongwei's design directly increases the efficiency of the spinning wheel by a hundred times.
This is an incredible invention.
If the test passes, then even if it does not make warrior clothing, Huaxia City will become the world's center for clothing and fabrics.
Qingcang cannot be ruled out in the future.
People will be sent to import cotton from India and promoted in large quantities.
To create a pure cotton cloth with better texture.
At this moment, some tailors immediately expressed disbelief.
"That's impossible, Minister Wang.
Being big doesn't mean you can improve efficiency, and the quality of the yarn spun from such a big thing is probably not good either."
Another person said: "Poor texture will directly affect the quality of the garments, causing them to be easily damaged."
"That's right, then it's just useless work and a lot of wasted materials."
There were about ten tailors in total, and they all talked about it, but no one believed in Wang Zongwei's results.
If he were to create it, it would be a slap in their face.
Wang Chongwei dismissed these people's skepticism.
"Then you can see how my big water-powered spinning wheel works, Commander.
Please take a look."
Following the direction he pointed, his people began to pull a lever.
With a creak, the big spinning wheel started moving.
A large amount of ramie entered the spinning wheel and turned into yarn around the spindle.
Now all the people were stunned, even the tailors didn't say a word.
Someone quickly ran over, holding the yarn on the spindle in his hand, and exclaimed: "The quality of this yarn is very good, and the thickness of each section is the same."
Human power is always inferior to water power.
Water power can spin yarn at a uniform speed, but human power cannot.
There will always be times when the power is lost.
Once the power is lost, some places will be thicker.
"Let me take a look."
Another tailor ran over to make sure.
"Sure enough, what a genius."
"And the speed is so fast.
All the spindles are synchronized.
Once one is perfect, all the spindles will be fine."
"Look, the pile of ramie is gone."
These tailors are like children who have never seen the world, wandering around and making some exclamations, completely disregarding their own image.
Wang Zongwei ignored these people and asked Qing Cang: "Commander, how are you doing?"
"Yes, if one weighs three hundred pounds as you said, can you make a hundred of them in ten days?"
The procurement of ramie also takes time, so one hundred units are manufactured within this period of time.
Each unit is fully loaded for spinning, and 600,000 kilograms can be spun in about twenty days.

But this is only the first step.
The second step is to spin yarn into cloth, which will be a huge project.
Moreover, this kind of work cannot be done by machines.
The machines at that time could not be as sophisticated as modern ones.
Therefore, water-powered weaving is not feasible.
Wang Zongwei said confidently: "Yes, Commander.
I will mobilize everyone's strength.
It doesn't take ten days, it can be done within seven days."
When Wang Zongwei mentioned the seven days, no one dared to doubt what he said, because they had reason to believe that he could do it.
Just like today's large hydraulic spinning wheel, it was said to be built in one day, but in fact it was built in less than one day.
Of course, this is not possible without his weapons research institute.
With so many talents, they still can’t build a single machine.
At the same time, the tailors were speechless.
They were silent.
They had been slapped in the face just now, by Wang Zongwei and Qing Cang.
From now on, they did not dare to question Qing Cang's decision easily.
Qingcang was overjoyed: "Sure, I'm waiting for your good news
