Chang Yungang is a carpenter with extremely exquisite craftsmanship, his original home is Chengdu Mansion in Jiannan Province of the Tang Dynasty, the year before last, he unintentionally reacquainted himself with a Sinicized Sogdian merchant who came to Chengdu to do business, and knew from the Sogdian merchant that there is a country called Britain in the Western Regions, where craftsmen like him will not only not be discriminated against, but also can straighten their waists and be a man, I heard that in the royal city of Britain, there are countless craftsmen like him, many people also rely on their own crafts to make a fortune, he went home and is the weaver's wife to discuss, They followed the Sogdian merchants out of the border and into Broken Leaves.That's right, it's smuggling, don't think that Datang is very open, in fact, its openness is only superficial, in fact, Datang's control over its own people is quite strict.
The Law of Guardian and Prohibition stipulates that you are not allowed to leave the country unless you are on a business trip, and if you boldly cross the border, you will be sentenced to two years in prison; During the period of trading with outsiders, the crime is increased by one degree; The transaction involved weapons, hangings; Intermarriage with foreigners and exile for 2,000 miles.Although Li Lu's Britain nominally belongs to the Tang Dynasty, the bureaucrats in the Tang Dynasty still regard this Britain as a foreign country, just the little brother with the closest relationship, and ordinary Datang people want to go to the UK, which can be described as extremely difficult.Handicraftsmen like Chang Yungang are workers in the "Shinong Industry and Commerce", and they are registered in a separate register that has been passed down from generation to generation, and they are like untouchables, with no chance of turning over, otherwise Chang Yungang would not have risked imprisonment and smuggled out of the customs.In the eyes of those Confucian scholars and doctors who value agriculture and suppress business, abandoning agricultural production and operating the profits of merchants is an evil act of sacrificing the basics, and leaving the country without permission will increase the risk of population loss and collusion with foreign countries, endangering national security.After coming to Broken Leaves, after Sanyu just settled down, he felt as if he had come to heaven, he could support his family with his own skills, and it was not a cheap business here, which was unimaginable before.Chang Yungang is very happy today, he built a small pavilion in Li Lu's back garden some time ago, he got his salary from the old eunuch named Gao Xing today, hey, there are fifteen taels of silver, he took the heavy silver money, the first thing he thought of was to deposit this money in Tongfu Money Village, "Niang Niang said, save it in the money bank, you can get interest.....
Well, anyway, my child is still young, and there are not many places to use money, save the money first, and then take it out when the baby marries, when the time comes, the money will make money, It's like a hen giving birth, how much money does it have to have......
"Lao Chang, aren't you thinking too much?"
Like you, how can Li Lu's commodity economy develop?
Chang Yun just went to Tongfu Qian Zhuang to save twelve taels of silver, got a flying money, and the rest of the three taels of silver, he planned to buy some delicious food for his wife who had just given birth to a son, and treat her well, so he bought three catties of beef for the first time, as well as cheese, dried milk and other things, ready to go home to make a delicious meal for his wife."
Xiu'er, I'm back...."
Chang Yun just got home, pushed open the door and shouted, "Hey, where are the people??"
”What made him strange was that he didn't see his wife Luo Xiu'er, "Xiu'er, Xiu'er.....""
Yun Gang, I'm spinning...."
Luo Xiu'er's voice came from the side room, "Ouch, hey, my aunt, your confinement is not over yet, what kind of yarn are you spinning.....
Chang Yun was anxious as soon as he heard this, he quickly pushed open the door, but he didn't expect to use too much force and knock down the spinning machine that Luo Xiuer was using."
Yungang, what are you doing, all the spindles I spun have made you mess up....."
Luo Xiu'er's apricot eyes widened, looking at her man, "Really, don't you help me up?"
”"Xiu'er, you haven't finished your confinement yet, how can you go to the ground?
Why don't you listen to me?
”Chang Yungang said to Luo Xiu'er, "Hurry up and take Xin'er back to the house......"
"Yungang, I don't want to be idle, I'm not idle, I spin a few more spindles, I can weave a few more white folded cloth, and I can subsidize the family ....."
Luo Xiu'er looked at her man, "Although this broken leaf is very good, there are just too many places to spend money.....""
Hehehe, Xiu'er, do you know how much I got back when I went to the palace to settle the bill today?"
Chang Yungang supported his wife, with a proud face."
How much?
You said last night that you died of ten taels of silver, I guess at most ten taels of silver..."
Luo Xiu'er said with a smile, ten taels of silver is already a huge amount of money for them."
Originally, it was ten taels of silver, but when I checked out, I met Wang Shang and Wu Niangniang, and they added five taels of silver to me, and Wu Niangniang said that this was a reward for me to finish early, hahahaha....."
Chang Yungang took out a piece of flying money, "See, I deposited twelve taels of it into Tongfu Qianzhuang, this is the flying money they gave me, you said that your husband has this ability, and you use you to spin so hard to make money.....""
Wow, this is flying money, I heard Millie say that flying money can be used directly as money....."
The Millie they were talking about was the wife of the Sogdian merchant they knew.After showing off in front of his wife, Chang Yungang took out the beef, cheese, dried milk and other things he bought, and was about to cook a delicious meal for Luo Xiu'er himself, just before he started drying, he suddenly remembered that the spinning machine that he had pushed down had not been lifted up, so he retreated to the side room where the spinning machine was.When he saw the spinning machine that had fallen to the ground, he saw that the spindle that had been lying horizontally had become upright.He suddenly turned the spindle with his hand, hey, the spindle was still spinning very happily, and he suddenly thought: If several spindles are arranged vertically, wouldn't it be possible to spin more yarn at once with a spinning wheel?
The spinning machine that Chang Yungang overturned was very simple, in addition to the spinning wheel, it was a spindle and a winding rod.Just shake the spinning wheel to make the spindle spin like a spinning top, and then you can twist the loose fibers into yarn, and just wrap them around the reel rod and it's OK.Chang Yungang is a person who can do what he wants, and the next day he picked up the guy and did it according to his own ideas, and he listened to the advice of his wife Luo Xiu'er because of his exquisite carpenter's craftsmanship, and the husband and wife worked together to quickly build a new spinning machine that used a spinning wheel to drive eight vertical spindles, and the efficiency was increased by eight times at once."
Yun Gang, you are so powerful, with this spinning machine, the spinning speed can be increased a lot....."
Luo Xiuer looked at her man with admiration, as a weaver, she knew why the white cloth was expensive, it was because the craftsmen from the customs learned from the floor flower machine to improve the cotton spinning machine, at the beginning of the year, a Momen master named Roy added a shuttle to the cotton spinning machine, and the weaving efficiency went up all of a sudden, but the spinning process was not broken through, which directly led to the death of the white cloth to be expensive.Luo Xiu'er don't look illiterate, but she is very shrewd, the scenery of the master named Roy at the beginning of the year, she remembers it vividly, "Yungang, husband, you hurry up to the Patent Office of the Department of Commerce to apply for a patent, with this machine, our family's good days are coming....."
Hey, how did the illiterate Luo Xiuer know the lofty name of the patent, it turned out that although Luo Xiuer was illiterate, her man Chang Yungang was literate, she often asked him to read the newspaper to herself, the patent thing, Luo Xiuer knew it from the newspaper, according to the patent law, as long as the two of them use this new spinning machine, then they must pay for the two of them, which is a lot of income."
Good Xiu'er, if you don't say that I forgot, I'll draw ....."
Chang Yun just found the commonly used quill pen, and then drew on the paper, when he finished drawing the drawings, when it was time to name his spinning machine, he was stunned, what should be the name, suddenly he looked at his wife who was smiling like a flower, and his mind moved, "If it weren't for Xiu'er, I wouldn't have built this spinning machine, hehehe, just call Xiu'er a good machine.....
After thinking about it, Chang Yungang wrote the three big characters of Xiu'er Machine on the drawing, "Yungang, what is the name of your spinning machine?"
”Luo Xiuer can't read, and she can't read her man's drawings, so she can only ask her man."
Hehe, this spinning machine, I call it Xiu'er machine....."
Chang Yungang pinched his wife's cheeks, which was still as delicate and smooth as when he first followed him, although his wife was not a peerless beauty, but in his eyes, Luo Xiuer was the best gift from God."
Xiu'er machine, Xiu'er machine....woo woo woo.....
Yungang, husband, Xiu'er is so happy....."
Luo Xiu'er was excited, the name Xiu'er Ji represented his deepest love for herself, she couldn't help but throw herself into Chang Yungang's arms all at once, her face was full of tears."
Well, don't cry, cry flowers, you will become a little cat..... take good care of Xin'er at home, I'll go to the patent office ....."
Chang Yun just appeased his wife, took the drawings and left home, got into a public carriage, and came to the patent office under the Department of Commerce, when he explained that he wanted to apply for a spinning machine patent, the little official who received him was stunned, "Mr.
Chang, do you know that Jinxiufang has opened a reward of three thousand taels of silver, you are ..... developed?""
Fairview?"

Chang Yungang was stunned, he knew that this splendid workshop was the property of the royal family, and it was also the handicraft workshop with the highest textile technology in Broken Leaves and even the entire United Kingdom, and they actually offered a reward of three thousand taels of silver?
At this moment, a gentle and majestic voice sounded, "Which master solved the problem of the efficiency of the spinning machine?"
”As soon as Chang Yun looked up, he saw two graceful and luxurious ladies, one of them was Wu Mei Wu Niangniang, who raised the bounty for himself yesterday, and the other, hiss, isn't this the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, the queen of the United Kingdom, God, Sanqing Daozun, I am always smoking on the ancestral tomb, is it really time for me to come to work?
