Out of the temple gate, down the steps, to a corner, Liu She quietly took out the white paper handed to him by the Son of Heaven, opened it and glanced at it.
Then, Liu She's expression suddenly became very exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, this is to turn me into a person who loves curiosity and lewd skills" Rubbing his temples, Liu She showed a wry smile.
However, this distress only lasted less than a fraction of a second, and then he immediately showed a bright smile: "It is the duty of my courtiers to share your majesty's worries."
In this fickle political arena, being able to take the blame for the Son of Heaven is a great specialty The next day, in the major bustling markets of Chang'an City and the markets of various counties in Guanzhong, a reward notice posted next to Lubu appeared.
Suddenly, the entire Guanzhong was alarmed.
Because, this reward notice is stamped with the seal of Tao Hou himself and the master craftsman of the Shaofu, which is convincing enough.
At this time, the credibility of the Han government and the aristocracy was just now.
Three years ago, Wu Chu rebelled, and the usury with ten times the interest was repaid by the court and the princes.
In addition, the Han law also guaranteed by the situation of the law that everyone must abide by his own contract.
Tearing up the contracts and promises made by oneself at will not only be despised by public opinion, but also by Ting Wei.
In this context, Liu She's reward notice posted in the name of Tao Hou and the master craftsman is naturally full of credibility, Tong Su is not deceived, and no one will suspect fraud.
And what really made people crazy was that on the reward notice, the reward number was clearly written in black and white: 1,000 gold or 5 baht and 8 million.
Seeing this bounty number, countless people swallowed their saliva frantically.
This bounty amount, even if it is Guanzhong, is an absolutely unprecedented super bounty.
Three years ago, the reward number offered by the imperial court to Wu and Liu Bi was only 3,000 gold.
In that year, Shusun Tong formulated a court ceremony for Emperor Taizu.
Planning the eighteen chapters of the palace law, and the gold rewarded by Taizu, Emperor Hui, and Empress Lu before and after adds up to 1,500 gold.
Also during the Wu Chu rebellion, the first emperor worshiped Dou Ying as a general.
The gold given is only a thousand gold.
In other words, this time, the reward that Liu She took out was about one-third of Liu Wei's head.
Seventy-five uncles and grandsons have a lifetime of merit, as well as a great general.
Such a big deal is naturally crazy.
And the things that Liu She offered were even more difficult to repress.
"My peach will be a master craftsman's house, and I am willing to use a thousand gold or money of eight million to seek to be twice as good as today's machine, so as to benefit the people and repay the Son of Heaven."
Simple and straightforward words stimulate everyone's adrenaline.
It's hard to help yourself.
What's even more blood-pumping is that Taohou Liu She ordered someone to build a pavilion in his own house, and in the pavilion, it was filled with a thousand heavy, yellow, orange, orange, and golden gold cakes as a guarantee for his promise.
He also said publicly: "Shinong industry and commerce, can make a machine, twice as many as today's machines."
If you can take it and go several times, I would like to lift it to Your Majesty, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, with a thousand stone official remuneration."
As soon as this news came out, countless women or craftsmen who thought they were skilled began to mobilize their ingenuity.
Let's dig into this question.
Even, someone formed an alliance, and a dozen or even dozens of people came together to tackle the project.
Liu Che sat in the palace, looking at the various folk discussions and situations transmitted back by the embroidered clothes, and also smiled: "This is probably the National Science and Technology Progress Award before the Common Era."
Originally, textile technology.
Liu Che was going to let the Mo family do it.
However, at present, all the technical strength and all the manpower and material resources of the Mo family are all put on improving and manufacturing hydraulic forging equipment, and even the skilled craftsmen and top talents of Shaofu are all invested in this aspect, and there is really no other energy to engage in textile technology.
Of course, more importantly, textile technology in China is monopolized by women.
Very few men are involved in textile work.
Even the Mo family is the same.
If the Mo family is allowed to play this, I am afraid that there will be no seven or eight years of exploration and discussion, and it is not necessary to come up with a machine that can multiply or multiply textile technology.
There was no way, Liu Che had no choice but to pay attention to the people.
There are many heroes who are reckless, that is, among women, there may be many powerful characters lying on their stomachs.
And the Han family, it is not without precedents for women to be officials or even marquis, the importance and respect for women, the old Liu family can be said to be the most in all Chinese dynasties.
There are even special provisions in the Hu Law and the Later Law of the Han Law to guarantee and protect women's property inheritance rights and status Therefore, Liu She did not lie.

If someone really came up with a machine that could increase the efficiency of weaving several times, Liu Che would definitely not be stingy with rewards, and even use the marquis to pay him.
At this time, a new type of loom that can double or even several times the efficiency is very important for the Han family.
At present, the spinning technology of the Han family can still be used.
Now, hand-cranked spinning machines have long appeared.
The craftsmen of Shaofu's East and West Weaving Order used a single-spindle hand-cranked spinning wheel.
This kind of spinning wheel is very common in the murals of various periods of the Han Dynasty, and the spinning wheel recorded in the Tiangong Kaiwu of the Ming Dynasty, and even the spinning wheel seen in the murals of the Han Dynasty, there is little difference.
As for the more advanced pedal spinning wheels, the earliest time they appeared in the murals was in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At present, the hand-cranked single-spindle spinning wheel, although in terms of efficiency, is not as good as the Jenny spinning machine before the industrial revolution, and even far less than the spinning machine invented by Huang Daopo.
But it's enough.
After all, this hand-cranked single-spindle spinning wheel is simple to manufacture, simple in process, convenient in maintenance and easy to use.
Even 2,000 years later, similar spinning wheels still exist in many remote mountain villages in China.
But looms are different.
At this time, the textile machine commonly used in China was derived from the saw loom of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which is commonly known as the finger hanging machine, this primitive weaving technology, low efficiency, heavy work.
In the Shaofu East and West Weaving Order, nearly half of the workers are still weaving cloth using this primitive and backward technology.
This is why, during the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties, cloth could become hard currency.
Of course, it is not without advanced machines.
In the East and West Weaving Order Yamen, there are also weaving machines dedicated to serving the royal family and nobles.
This kind of machine, called the Zhu machine, originated from the technological explosion of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Book of Songs.
Erya.
There is a record of this kind of machine in the cart, the so-called cart threshold, the clothes are like a canopy.
Don't you dare to think about it?
even left an immortal famous sentence in the valley of different rooms, and death in the same cave.
The cart here refers to the primitive machine.
Since the development of the machine, the related technology has been relatively mature, and its weaving efficiency is more than ten times that of the original sawing loom in the past.
But it's still not enough At present, the Shaofu East and West Weaving Order can only complete the textile tasks assigned by the state every year.
Not to mention going to the market to sell and make a profit.
Therefore, Liu Che now urgently needs a new type of high-efficiency loom.
This kind of machine should be simple to manufacture, simple in structure, easy to maintain and use, and at the same time improve textile efficiency.
It is best to adapt to the textile needs of cotton, especially the textile needs of coarse wool, which is extremely difficult to serve.
At present, cotton obtained from Wusun and Xiongnu through smuggling and legal trade channels has been planted on a trial basis this year in the royal estates and palaces of the two counties of the previous dynasty and in the royal fields of the kings.
In total, about 2,000 acres of cotton were planted.
At present, the cotton has been harvested and all transported back to the warehouse in Shaofu, and after the seeds are kept, the cotton wool is handed over to the Dongweaving Lingyamen to try weaving.
Next year, the scale of cotton planting will be more than 10 times larger.
By the year after that, the cotton planting area of the Han Dynasty is likely to exceed one million mu.
In such a situation, the research of related technologies naturally has to keep up.
It is another technology point of the textile technology tree, jacquard technology, Liu Che does not have to worry about it.
The existing jacquard machine and jacquard technology, in Liu Che's view, have almost reached the peak of what can be achieved by today's technology.
The jacquard technology of the Han Dynasty can be said to be very advanced.
In particular, the jacquard machine technology mastered by Shaofu can blind people's eyes.
Its state-of-the-art jacquard machine, with a double warp beam structure, is capable of weaving double-sided variations in groups of four.
The beautiful patterns on countless unearthed Han Dynasty textile objects are enough to prove that these jacquard machines are advanced.
Of course, these jacquard machines can weave those exquisite patterns in this desert era of industrial technology, and there is a price.
And the trade-off for that is inefficiency.
A piece of Shu brocade with exquisite patterns that people can't put down, it takes 80 days, close to three months, to weave it Note 2.

Liu Che certainly thought about developing and researching more advanced jacquard machines.
But after the investigation, Liu Che gave up.
If the jacquard machine can simplify and improve efficiency, it will create more economic benefits than buying and selling arms An ordinary silk cloth costs only a few tens of dollars, a cloth filled with cotton wool costs more than 100 yuan, and a piece of silk is worth more than 200 or more.
However, a flower cloth with a delicate pattern has a market price of as high as 10,000 yuan, and it is completely in short supply.
The princes and nobles and the wealthy landlords would spare no expense to buy all the flower cloths that matched their aesthetics.
However, before the industrialization and mass production technology, no matter how much the jacquard machine was improved, the working hours of a piece of cloth would be reduced from 80 days to 30 days at most.
After all, even if you open the hanging, there is no way to make the speed of the craftsman's jacquard and the attention of the brain keep up with the rhythm of modern machines.
And the difference between 30 days and 80 days to weave a piece of cloth is not much.
This doomed this cloth and could only be a luxury.
Since it's a luxury, it's not worth putting too much effort in. t1706231537:
